Chapter 62: The Struggle for Power

The current scene surprised Shen Xizhi, obviously to punish Zhou Zhuo, why did it suddenly become a big drama of the royal struggle for power? She was clearly present all the time, but she always felt that she had missed a lot.

"Ding...... Your dedicated system 027 has been upgraded and is connecting, please wait. ”

A familiar voice suddenly came from his mind, but because the current atmosphere was too stagnant, the sudden voice almost scared Shen Xizhi out loud.

She pursed her lips uncomfortably, calling in her mind, "027?

"Ding...... The connection is complete. ”

"Dear host, long time no see. 027 turned into a black cat and came out, stretching in the air, with some cat habits, his eyes flashed slightly, and after looking around, he said, "It seems that the host is full of energy during this time, please continue to work hard." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure became lighter and lighter until he disappeared.

Shen Xizhi was silent for a moment, and asked him in his mind: "You came out to stretch your waist?"

027's voice slouched, "Yes. Please concentrate on helping the male protagonist and don't desert. ”

What else could she say?027 disappeared for a few days, and the coldness in his mind made Shen Xizhi a little uncomfortable, but when he thought about 027, he didn't seem to miss himself.

What a ruthless system.

Shen Xizhi cleaned up the helpless expression on his face and continued to look at the war without gunpowder over there.

Jiang Zerui's refusal to admit it and his words made the emperor angry, and he directly grabbed something at hand and threw it at him, and said angrily: "Rebel, look at what this is!"

It was a handwritten letter, Jiang Zerui glanced at the words on it and felt familiar, and when he read it again, his heart suddenly drummed. In the end, he kowtowed heavily, still quibbling.

"This letter refers to the old incident of two years ago, and it has long been closed, and the son does not know who fabricated it, but he must not be at ease. Father, don't be deceived. ”

"Quipble!" the emperor scolded, "the evidence is ironclad, you still think I am a fool, how many things have you hidden from me all these years?"

The emperor was full of disappointment in Jiang Zerui, took a few deep breaths to calm down a little anger, Quan De intimately handed him tea, Jiang Jingyu stood silently, and almost wrote the words "stand by and watch" on his face.

"Erchen doesn't dare!"

Jiang Zerui wanted to scold his mother in his heart, but he absolutely couldn't admit these things! Because the things mentioned in the letter were so disgraceful that they could even be said to be very ugly.

"Two years ago, a woman died tragically in the capital, and when she was found, her body was exposed in the wilderness, and her clothes were not covered, which caused public resentment to boil. The emperor put down the teacup heavily, ignoring Jiang Zerui's flustered expression, "At the beginning, you asked yourself to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I agreed to you, and you didn't disappoint me, and you found the real culprit in just two days." But—I learned two years later that it was you who took the advantage of the murderer, so that the dead could not be blinded, and the innocent died miserably!"

The emperor's words made Jiang Zerui fall into an ice cave.

"Why are you so confused?" this long sigh added to the emperor's rare pain, "I have given you several opportunities today, but you have lied and coaxed again and again, you are such a bastard, how can you do a good job as the crown prince?"

When he said this, Jiang Zerui raised his head in disbelief, and only then did he feel scared.

"Father...... The father forgives the sin, and the son ......"

However, the emperor raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "From today onwards, disband the Dragon Armor Army, I will have people thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Dragon Armor Army, check them one by one, punish those who should be punished, and kill those who should be killed." As for you...... Put aside what you are doing for the time being and concentrate on preparing for the palace banquet. ”

Is this to relieve oneself of one's duties?

Jiang Zerui sat down on the ground, the dragon armor army he had worked so hard to win over, was it over?

"Take the prince down. The emperor instructed Quande and said to Pei Cen instead, "You have a righteous heart, since you want to stay in the capital, you will follow King Yu in the future." ”

Pei Cen hurriedly thanked him, and even obediently withdrew from the conference hall, but Jiang Zerui suddenly understood, "It's you—"

But Jiang Jingyu didn't give him half a look.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please. Quan De smiled and made a "please" gesture. Jiang Zerui didn't dare to upset the emperor again, so he had to leave with a blushing face.

After a long silence, Shen Xizhi secretly looked at the emperor and found that he didn't notice him, so he gently moved his numb legs and feet. Today's events are too weird and deliberate, and she even thinks that Zhou Zhuo's incident is just an episode.

"King Yu. The emperor closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, there was a heavy tiredness between his eyebrows, "I underestimated you. ”

He looked at Jiang Jingyu and found that the latter threw it with a cold, pampered and unfazed look, as if these twists and turns, this handwritten letter that had been sealed in the dust for two years, had nothing to do with him.

But that's all an illusion.

Jiang Jingyu arched his hand, and his tone was flat: "Erchen just wants to protect himself." Besides, the Dragon Armor Army has already become a miasma, and the father just can't hear the resentment of the people. ”

"Self-preservation?" the emperor's tone suddenly turned cold, "Is it for self-preservation, or is it for your princess?"

Shen Xizhi, who was suddenly mentioned, hung his head and pretended to be cowardly, but his mind was all on those two people.

Looking at the emperor's meaning, Jiang Jingyu did all these things, but isn't he a powerless and powerless empty prince? Even if those things in the Dragon Armor Army are not secrets, what are those twists and turns? Looking at Jiang Zerui's appearance, he seems to know the existence of these twists and turns, but he doesn't understand why they appear in the emperor's hands.

As for the matter on the letter, Shen Xizhi also knew that Jiang Zerui caught the murderer in two days, and was praised by the emperor, and the people also praised him. I didn't expect to use innocent people to take the blame.

But—who got the letter?

She subconsciously looked at Jiang Jingyu and had a guess in her heart. But she still didn't understand, how did he get the letter from two years ago? Not to mention that it might be long gone, the matter had already had a result, why did he pursue it?

In an instant, many questions crowded into her heart, and she asked 027 in her mind, but the latter only made her believe Jiang Jingyu.

Believe, she can only trust him now.

"Erchen didn't fight or grab because there was no one he wanted to protect. Now that she has, she naturally can't let others bully her. Jiang Jingyu said with a cold face that was enough to make ordinary women blush.

But Shen Xizhi is not ordinary, she killed Jiang Jingyu more than 20 times, and now when she hears him say this, she only feels ashamed, and when she thinks about it like this, she can't give birth to any charming thoughts.

The emperor looked at Jiang Jingyu for a long time, his eyes were firm and serious, like that person.

In the end, he was the first to lose, "I agreed to what you said." ”
