Jiaofang Palace.

There are more than a dozen imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, each of whom makes a few specialty dishes every day and sends them to the Jiaofang Palace. If any dish is favored by Queen Yu, there will be a generous reward, and it is also the dignity of the imperial chefs.

Today, all the princes and concubines stayed in the Jiaofang Hall for dinner, and Queen Yu specially ordered to prepare more dishes. The imperial chefs have to show their housekeeping skills, frying, cooking, steaming, braised sweet and sour, and the dishes are exquisite, which can be called first-class.

It's just that everyone has a heavy heart, and they don't have the heart to taste delicious food at all. Especially Li Xiangru and Xiao Yuhan, it is almost difficult to swallow.

One was worried about the safety of the four princes, the other was thinking about the young man surnamed Ding who suddenly appeared in the mansion last night, thinking about the movement of the court for a while, and worrying about the anger of the Son of Heaven for a while.

It was Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao, and their mood was not relaxed.

Pull one and start one. The princes were all summoned to the Yiqing Palace, and until the end, no one knew who would be unlucky.

Only Xie Mingxi has a calm expression and a good appetite. She took the initiative to get up from time to time and served Queen Yu: "This steamed mandarin fish is fatty and tender, and it is very delicious." The queen mother may wish to try it. ”

Empress Yu tasted it and praised it with a smile: "The taste is indeed excellent." ”

Princesses: "......"

If no one is convinced, they will serve the Seven Princesses!

This is the person who did not hurry on the day of the assassination of the newlywed husband and went to the prince's mansion to worship in a sedan chair!

Now I don't know what the situation is in the palace, she is not panicked at all, and she still has the leisure to taste the delicious food, and pats her mother-in-law by the way.

Served! I have to take it!

Empress Yu obviously admired Xie Mingxi's calm demeanor, her eyes swept over the faces of her daughters-in-law, and she smiled faintly: "You don't need to worry too much. The emperor cherishes his son the most, even if someone makes a mistake, he will not be punished heavily. Just eat in peace. ”

Li Xiangru: "......"

Hearing this, she was even more in the mood to eat.

Zhilan quietly walked in and reported in a low voice: "Queen Qiyu, Gonggong Lu just sent someone to deliver a message." Sheng Gongzi of Huainan Palace's palace has been summoned to the Yiqing Palace. In addition, the father and son of Director Ding of the Ministry of War were also carried into the Yiqing Palace. The Imperial Physician was also summoned. ”

Zhilan's voice was not high, but it was enough for everyone who should hear it.

Empress Yu hummed lightly.

Xiao Yuhan's heartbeat intensified, and he subconsciously looked up at Li Xiangru.

The corners of Li Xiangru's mouth were pursed extremely tightly, and she quickly lowered her eyes, avoiding Xiao Yuhan's gaze.

The dispute over the removal of the Qing Palace is closely related to the assassination of the Seven Princes, and it is also the dispute between the Three Princes and the Four Princes.

In the final analysis, it's the East Palace dispute!

What is the truth? Actually, I don't care much. What everyone cares about is nothing more than who angers Tianyan in this matter, who gets the Sacred Heart, and is one step closer to the position of the prince.

She and Xiao Yuhan are also destined to stand on opposite sides. The friendship between classmates in the past has become almost nihilistic at this time.

Xie Mingxi's gaze swept over Li Xiangru's face, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a sarcastic arc.

If the four princes dare to assassinate Sheng Hong, they will have to pay the price for this matter!

Getting rid of Sheng Xuan is only the first step!

……

"Chief Ding, has the fourth prince ever bribed you with gold and silver or a future official position?"

In the Qing Palace, Sheng Hong half-squatted in front of Director Ding and asked slowly.

Sheng Hong's appearance is handsome and beautiful, and no one can match it. It is in strong contrast with the blood-stained and miserable Ding.

Director Ding nodded effortlessly.

"Director Ding, two months ago, you were supposed to be on duty in the treasury. was called by his colleague Wang to drink a night of flower wine. Is this true? ”

Director Ding nodded again.

"This king is in charge of the past, and he has a very close past with Sheng Xuan, yes or no?"

"When you returned to the storehouse the next morning, you were surprised to find that you were missing three crossbows. The other three people guarding the treasury were led to roll the dice in the middle of the night, and that person's surname was Zhou, who also had a good relationship with Sheng Xuan. Are these facts? ”

Director Ding tried his best to answer yes in a hoarse voice. Then, tears rained down and his face was full of remorse.

The four princes standing on the side no longer had their usual cold composure, and angry flames erupted from their eyes. However, Emperor Jianwen had already agreed, no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Sheng Xuan, who has been kneeling, is even more dumb and eats coptis, and there are words of suffering.

That night, he infiltrated the Treasury Division's treasury late at night and removed three crossbows alone. It's called a god who doesn't know it.

However, there will always be traces of what has been done.

This matter was too confidential and important, and the four princes only commanded behind the scenes, and did not make a move. From beginning to end, he arranged it single-handedly. The people who led away Director Ding and the people who were on duty in the treasury were indeed instructed by him. As long as the investigation is strictly carried out and the two people are re-interrogated, he will have nothing to hide.

Sheng Hong obviously didn't mean to let him go, and asked one after another. Director Ding either nodded, or tried his best to squeeze out a yes word. Ding Chuang, a young man on the side, stared at him with angry eyes like an enemy who killed his father.

None of this is scary.

The terrible thing is that Emperor Jianwen's gaze is getting colder and colder.

The eyes of the four princes became more and more wandering.

Sheng Xuan usually boasts that his mind is flexible and responsive, but at this time, he is at a loss like a wood carving.

What should he do?

Who else can save him?

……

No one can save Sheng Xuan!

The princes quietly exchanged a look.

Don't say anything else, just look at Emperor Jianwen's angry and gloomy face, and know that Sheng Xuan is in a catastrophe.

Three crossbows were painstakingly removed, and then they were used to assassinate the Seven Princes. As long as Sheng Xuan can't refute the first crime, the charge of assassinating the prince will fall on his head.

Now, it depends on whether Sheng Xuan will bite out the real mastermind......

It is impossible for Emperor Jianwen not to see such an obvious thing. Because of this, Emperor Jianwen was so angry.

What brothers, friends, and brothers, what harmony, what a big joke!

As an elder brother, he secretly instructed someone to assassinate his brother...... Perhaps, the Xishan Spring Hunt three years ago was also from the handiwork of the Four Princes!

As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Jianwen's heart was as cold as ice.

The son who loved and valued him the most in the past is now so strange and terrible in his eyes!

This monstrous anger cannot be spoken. In the end, all the anger was transferred to Sheng Xuan's body.

"Sheng Xuan!" Emperor Jianwen's eyes were cold, and his tone was as cold as ice: "Can you plead guilty?" ”

In just a few words, Sensen's killing intent is revealed.

Sheng Xuan's whole body was excited, and he looked at the four princes reflexively.

The fourth prince was expressionless, and his eyes were also firmly fixed on Sheng Xuan.

Resist everything, and you will die alone.

If you dare to say half a word, the Huainan Mansion will disappear with you.

Sheng Xuan is another agitated spirit, his handsome face is pale and bloodless. After a moment, he knelt down: "I confess!" All of this is my doing! ”
