In the second prince's mansion, Chu Yun prepared tea and waited for Chu Yu as if he knew that Chu Yu would definitely come, and as soon as he arrived outside the mansion, his subordinates welcomed him to the mansion.

Chu Yun sat down, and Chu Yu swept towards the chessboard placed next to the tea table.

"The second brother is very interested, and at this time he can still drink tea while playing chess."

Seeing Chu Yun's calm appearance, Chu Yun sighed and denied: "Fourth brother, you are wrong, second brother is thinking, you just feel that you are here, only the second brother is playing black chess, and now you are playing white chess and the second brother is playing black chess." ”

"It's boring to play chess alone."

Chu Yun said, pointing to the position in front of him.

Chu Yu sat down, and the maid brought the tea to Chu Yu and then slowly left.

"Okay, it just so happens that the fourth brother also has itchy hands, so let's accompany the second brother to the next game, let's talk about it as we go."

Chu Yu said, holding the white chess pieces and landing on the chessboard.

Chu Yun was a little distracted, he was halfway through the chess game, and Chu Yu could know his chess move after a while, it seems that Chu Yu can't be underestimated.

"When did the second brother know that there was something strange in the North Courtyard?"

Chu Yu asked directly, there are only the two of them here, and it would be boring to open the skylight and say something bright and then go around the bush.

"It was also a while ago, my mother's side said that the palace maids in the palace had been disappearing, and there had been a foul smell from the north courtyard, so I began to suspect it."

"Of course, I don't know what's in the North Courtyard, I just think it's strange."

Chu Yun added later, looking at Chu Yu with his eyes.

"This is the list of palace maids who have disappeared in the past few months, I have calculated, a total of one hundred and eighty palace maids have disappeared, and they all have a common characteristic."

Chu Yun took out a roster from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Yu, Chu Yu looked down and took it for a long time.

Chu Yun must have a purpose in choosing to tell him about this, otherwise he would not have shown him this roster.

"What characteristics?"

Chu Yu asked curiously, and Chu Yun was also waiting for Chu Yu to ask this.

"These missing women are innocent."

"Innocent?"

"Yes, my body is clean, I haven't been defiled by anyone, and I haven't had sex with anyone."

Chu Yun nodded, and Chu Yu twisted his eyebrows.

"Fourth brother, you also know that if you take out these palace maids alone, it is a small number, but if you count these palace maids together, it is a big number."

"In just a few months, one hundred and eighty palace maids have disappeared in the palace, and this number is still something I started to check after I found out, so what about before?"

"These palace maids are all picked from various palaces, and some are palace maids who have committed mistakes and have been punished."

Chu Yun went on to say that his scalp was numb when he heard this number.

One hundred and eighty, according to the month of March, at least one palace maid will be missing in the palace every day.

What is there in the North Courtyard that needs so many palace maids?

"Then second brother, are you suspecting that there is some ulterior secret over there in the North Courtyard?"

Chu Yu asked, and Chu Yun nodded.

"Yes, and my father's temper has changed since he entered the palace, does the fourth brother still remember Lord Wu a few months ago?"

Chu Yun said, and a figure appeared in Chu Yu's mind.

A few months ago, I heard that Lord Wu was beheaded, and the reason given by Emperor Chu was that Lord Wu looked at the Son of Heaven and had no respect for the Son of Heaven.

"The second brother was also present at the time."

Chu Yun said, and the hand that picked up the black chess shook slightly.

Chu Yu looked at Chu Yun and didn't look like he was acting.

What did you see that made Chu Yun so scared.

"At that time, Lord Wu didn't say anything, but knelt in front of his father, and his father suddenly became angry, you don't know how terrible his father was at that time."

Chu Yun held a trembling hand in his other hand and placed the black chess pieces on the chessboard.

Chu Yu guessed that the appearance of Emperor Chu at that time must have been very scary, otherwise Chu Yun would not have been like this.

When do you feel scared when you think about it? The answer must have been something that he remembered when he first looked at it, and it was impressive and terrifying to him.

"How can a good person, you say, suddenly get angry?"

Chu Yun looked up at Chu Yu, and Chu Yu landed on the chessboard.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult for the emperor to guess, how can the fourth brother know what his father is thinking in his heart, and how can he suddenly get angry?"

"Second brother, it's better not to think too much, otherwise it will make you uncomfortable."

Chu Yu comforted, and Chu Yun chuckled.

"In the past, they all said that you were the second brother of a drunkard, but they didn't believe it, but you live better than anyone else, and you can see it more thoroughly than others."

"The fourth brother took the second brother's words as a compliment, thank you to the second brother."

"You kid, you're not serious."

Chu Yun shook his head and smiled, feeling much better.

"After Lord Wu was dragged down, I also saw that Kunai gave his father a pill, and after my father ate it, the whole person returned to its original state, in fact, this is what I am curious about, what did Kunai eat for my father?"

"And looking at my father's appearance, it seems that I can't wait to eat."

Chu Yun asked curiously, he had been holding this in his heart for a long time and didn't dare to say it to others, but now he felt a lot more comfortable when he said it.

"It seems that it's not just the North Courtyard that is weird, but even this kunai is a little weird."

Chu Yu squinted and smiled, and the chess pieces landed crisply on the chessboard.

"Yes, this miracle doctor who came out of nowhere is still someone invited by the prince."

"The second brother will tell me these things today, but what do you want to ask the fourth brother to do?"

Chu Yu asked clearly, but Chu Yun sighed and praised Chu Yu a little.

In the past, when he saw Chu Yu, he always had a pot of wine in his hand, and he looked drunk, but now he is like a different person.

It seems that the one who hides the most is Chu Yu.

"I want you to help me find out about this, fourth brother."

"Oh? Isn't this kind of thing okay with the second brother? Why should I look it up? ”

Chu Yu asked, puzzled.

"Heh, I can't do it if I want to, but the fourth brother is different, the fourth brother can get close to his father."

Chu Yun chuckled.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to Chu Yan or Chu Yu.

"The second brother can't do it, how can I do it? Second brother, you underestimate yourself too much. ”

Chu Yu said modestly.

Let him go and find the way for him as a substitute for the dead ghost, Chu Yun's abacus is really good.

"Actually, the fourth brother of the North Courtyard also knows something."

As soon as Chu Yu's words fell, Chu Yun's eyes were shining.

"Does the second brother know about the fire in the palace yesterday? Along with several palaces next to it, it was also burned? ”

Chu Yu asked, and Chu Yu nodded.

This kind of thing is so big, he has seen it with his own eyes, how can he not know!

"Actually, that's because I sent someone to the North Courtyard to check, but unfortunately, to no avail."

Chu Yu sighed and shook his head.

Chu Yun remembered that Chu Yu left yesterday, and Kunai also left before Chu Yu left.

If what Chu Yu said is true, then Ku Wu left yesterday because someone broke into the North Courtyard?

"To no avail?"

"Well, kunai doesn't seem to have noticed something and moved everything inside."

Chu Yu nodded and said honestly.

Chu Yun was a little surprised, he had also been to the North Courtyard once before, he thought it would be easy to get in, but he didn't expect that the guards outside were heavily guarded, and he couldn't get in if he showed his identity as a prince.

Therefore, it is normal for Chu Yu not to get in.

"It turns out that the fourth brother also knows about this, and the second brother thinks you really don't know."

Chu Yun looked at Chu Yu again, and Chu Yu chuckled: "Second brother is joking, you always have to leave some foundation, didn't the second brother tell me the truth?" ”

Feng Yan looked at Chu Yun, and the smile on Chu Yun's face froze.

His face was slightly pulled, and his eyes were also staring at Chu Yu.

"The second brother just said that his father was angry and beheaded Master Wu, and the father only settled down after Kuai gave his father a medicine."

Chu Yu repeated, Chu Yun looked at Chu Yu with both eyes, wanting to see what he could say.

"As far as I know, Kunwu was not by the emperor's side at all when Lord Wu was beheaded by his father, and Kunwu left the palace that day, and that day was the day Yongshuo came back."

Chu Yu's eyes stared at Chu Yun like an old fox.

Chu Yun's body was shocked, but he didn't think that Chu Yu would remember this kind of thing clearly.

"So how did the second brother see that Kunai gave his father the pill?"

Chu Yu asked, this time it was Chu Yun's turn to have nothing to say.

"Second brother, you have the scent of a woman on your body."

Chu Yu said, Chu Yun's face was gloomy.

"When did you find out!"

Chu Yun looked at Chu Yu warily, and Chu Yu squinted his eyes with a look of understanding.

"What is the second brother talking about? Why can't I understand it? ”

Chu Yu asked rhetorically, Chu Yun's hand clenched and he was helpless against Chu Yu's appearance.

He chose to pretend to be stunned, at least to prove that he wouldn't tell the story.

"Let's get back to business, how the fourth brother can't control the second brother's private affairs, but the fourth brother wants to remind the second brother not to play too much, how can the father not notice what the fourth brother can see? The women in the harem are all from their fathers. ”

Chu Yu reminded, and Chu Yun's expression changed.

He was shocked by Chu Yu's words.

Yes, Chu Yu, everyone who is not in the palace knows about this, and everyone in the palace is the person of Emperor Chu, how can Emperor Chu not know.

"Thank you for the reminder, the second brother will remember what you said."

Chu Yun admitted that he was more honest than Chu Yu imagined.

"Second brother, do you know why my father likes her so much for the maid who was named the star concubine yesterday?"

Chu Yu asked rhetorically, Chu Yun was puzzled.

He only heard Emperor Chu say that Fengxing was in the world.

"In addition to the daughter of the Xiao family in the Chu State, there is another rumor, which is that the star next to the moon is called the emperor star, the emperor star represents the image of the emperor, and there is a phoenix star next to the emperor star, that is the image of the queen, the second brother also saw it with his own eyes last night, and the phoenix star is in the world."

Chu Yu said, Chu Yun's face changed greatly.

Fengxing...

Empress!

"But there is already a queen in the Chu Kingdom, and she is just a palace maid!"

"Second brother, this kind of thing can't be said, a palace maid can be named a concubine when she sees the emperor for the first time, so what about the future?"

Chu Yu reminded that the sunspot in Chu Yun's hand fell to the ground with a click.

I was speechless in shock.

If that woman really has the ability to compete with the queen and really stands on the side of Emperor Chu, doesn't that mean that the emperor is still sitting on the throne?

"Fourth brother, do you believe this? These are just rumors. ”

"Second brother, don't you also believe it, otherwise how can the chess land?"

Chu Yu lowered his head, picked up the chess pieces for Chu Yun and handed them to him.

The phoenix's eyes swept towards the dense chessboard.

"This game of chess is that the fourth brother lost, and the second brother's chess skills have risen again."

Chu Yu praised and got up.

Without waiting for Chu Yun to send off the guest, he turned around and left.

Chu Yun froze in place, a touch of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He originally wanted to take advantage of Chu Yu's interest in the North Courtyard and let him check it on his behalf, but he didn't expect Chu Yu to be as smart as a fox.

And his affair with Concubine Wu...

In this way, it seems that Emperor Chu dealt with Lord Wu to warn him...

He also happened to see the Emperor Chu take out the pill and eat it violently, and this pill seemed to have a miraculous effect, and the Emperor Chu would be fine after eating, so he must have developed it by Kunai, because Kunai was the imperial physician of Emperor Chu, and he had to take it with him wherever he went.

Today, it was he who miscalculated.
