Chu Jian led Jiang Che to the study, and Jiang Che ordered Guan Lisheng to wait outside the study. Only he and Chu Jian were left in the study.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat!"

"Okay."

Jiang Che walked in a hurry, then walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down. He looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk, turned his head to look at the books on the shelf, and seemed to be unintentional, but asked intentionally, "What I asked you to check, how did you check?" ”

Because it was a secret visit, Jiang Che never asked in the court.

Chu Jian bowed and said, "Weichen is incompetent, and there is no progress in this matter." ”

Jiang Che took a brush and played with it in his hand, and said leisurely, "I've been giving you more than ten days, and there is no progress in the matter?" Is it that Prince Yu doesn't want to check, or really can't find out? ”

Hearing this, Chu Jian hurriedly knelt down and said, "Wechen has done his best, but Wechen really didn't get nothing, so Wechen won't make excuses for himself, Wechen is really incompetent." ”

"Lord Yu, you get up and speak first. Today I just asked casually, and I didn't mean to blame you. ”

Only then did Chu Jian stand up.

Jiang Che said, "But this matter is very serious, if you don't find out, you won't be able to explain to me, and these chaotic parties may take action again in the future." Lord Yu, do you think what I said is right? ”

"Your Majesty."

"But the sooner this matter is found, the better, and the longer it drags on, many things will disappear and will never be found again. So, Lord Yu, you have to hurry! ”

"That's what the emperor said. Wechen should do his best. ”

Jiang Che put the brush back and said, "I still trust Xie Qi's ability." Since you are all looking together, I can't wait indefinitely. Why don't I give you a deadline? ”

Chu Jian was stunned.

Jiang Che said, "It's for half a month." If I still can't find out within this month and a half, then I'll have to make another plan. ”

"Obey the order!"

Seeing this, Jiang Che stood up and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go back to the palace." Say hello to the princess. ”

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Jiang Che walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Don't you know that Prince Yu raises birds in the mansion?" ”

Chu Jian was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Weichen has never had this habit, and no one in this mansion raises birds." The emperor asked if this was ......"

Jiang Che smiled, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I just asked casually, the prince doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Chu Jian didn't think much about it, and then sent Jiang Che out of the Yuwang Mansion, and after returning to the study, he paced back and forth looking a little uneasy.

Yang Wan came over and saw this situation, so she asked with concern, "What troubles did the master encounter?" Isn't it what the emperor said to the master? ”

Chu Jian glanced at Yang Wan, shook his head, and said, "It's all a matter of the court, and Madam doesn't need to ask more." ”

Yang Wan saw Chu Qian's sad face, and still said, "The concubine is a woman, so it is inconvenient to ask about the affairs of the court." But the prince is the husband of the concubine, and the prince's body has not fully recovered last time, no matter what the emperor said to you, the prince still has to take care of his body. ”

Chu Jian nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yang Wan, "You send someone to call Yu'er and Nian'er over, the old man has something to say to them." ”

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Chu Nian and Chu Yu arrived at Chu Qian's study.

"Nian'er, close the door."

"Yes, Father."

Chu Jian sat at the desk, looked at Chu Yu and Chu Nian, and said, "I want to tell you something now, don't panic." ”

"Father, please speak." Chu Nian replied.

"The emperor came today to let me thoroughly investigate the specific matters of the hunting ground that day, and you all know it, and I didn't hide it from you. Nian'er, didn't you mention that to Yu Bing and Ling Lan, right? ”

Chu Nian said, "According to my father's instructions, I never told them the truth. What, what kind of holy decree did the emperor give today? ”

Chu Jian said, "The emperor gave me a deadline to investigate the matter thoroughly within ten days." ”

Chu Nian frowned and said, "Ten days? What if it is not found out within 10 days? ”

Chu Jian was at a loss and said, "This is exactly why I called you here." The emperor did not say what he would do to me in ten days. But if I hadn't found anything, I wouldn't have gotten out of it. I know in my heart that I am already to blame for the matter of the hunting ground, and if I can't make meritorious contributions, even if the emperor doesn't condemn the crime, I will ask for my guilt. ”

"Father......" Chu Nian was about to speak, but was stopped by Chu Qian, "You listen to me first." ”

Chu Nian had no choice but to remain silent, only to hear Chu Jian continue, "The emperor's assassination, although I have not yet found out. But looking at the situation at the time, it must have been planned a long time ago, and every step was seamless, and even the plans after being arrested were also made. It's not hard to think about how carefully planned the people behind this scene are. Therefore, since I want to check, this is naturally not easy. Ten days, I was not sure to find out. At that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the emperor. If ......" Chu Jian paused for a moment and said, "If there is really something to do with the father, the Yu Wangfu and the Chu family will rely on you two brothers." ”

Chu Nian couldn't help but worry and said, "Father, things haven't come to that point yet, don't say this." Nian'er must help her father and find out the matter, big brother, don't you say? ”

Chu Nian looked at Chu Yu, only to see Chu Yu standing there, his expression indifferent, and he didn't say a word.

Chu Jian said, "Nian'er, my father knows that you have filial piety, but this matter is not something that you and I can definitely do." You two brothers must work together and love each other. Don't let the Chu family be ashamed. ”

"Father's ......"

Chu Nian wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Jian and said, "Okay, today's words for the father have been finished." If things take a turn for the better, then today's words should be assumed to be the Father's failure to speak. If not, then listen to the Father. Stand down, all of you, for the Father will go out to investigate the matter. ”

Chu Nian couldn't say anything more, so he had to retreat with Chu Yu. After a while, they saw that Chu Jian had already hurried out of the door. Chu Nian asked Chu Yu worriedly, and said, "Big brother, I have no idea about this matter at all, what can I do about it?" ”

Chu Yu said, "Whether the crime is punished or not, it all depends on the emperor, you and I naturally have no way." ”

Chu Nian suddenly realized and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." We can find a way to go to the emperor to intercede. ”

"Do you think it's possible?"

Chu Nian said, "What's impossible? If the emperor doesn't buy my account, we can let Yu Bing go over, and Yu Bing will say it herself, or find the queen mother to talk about it. What's more, his father is the founder of the country, and the emperor will not treat his father like this. ”

Chu Yu looked at Chu Nian and asked, "Since ancient times, how many of the founding heroes have had a good end?" What's more, since you and I married the two young ladies of the Xie family, the emperor's jealousy of his father has become more and more severe. Otherwise, why did the emperor propose a deadline? ”

Chu Nian was shocked, "You mean that the emperor is actually deliberately embarrassing his father?" I have also heard about the Xie family, and the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the Xie family, but unfortunately he is not the opponent of the Xie family for the time being. Isn't it because we married the two young ladies of the Xie family, and even the emperor is suspicious of our Yuwang Mansion? ”

Chu Yu was silent.

Chu Nian said, "Although the words are so good, the emperor also depends on who it is!" My father was so loyal, how could he be in the same league as my father-in-law? General Wei is also the founder of the country, and the emperor still trusts him, why can't he treat his father? ”

"The heart of the gentleman is unpredictable." Chu Yu threw down four words and left directly.

Chu Yu returned to the courtyard, and saw Jiang Wan being bored with melon seeds, and when he saw Chu Yu, he threw down the melon seeds and asked, "Your father called you two brothers to go over, wouldn't it be to arrange any aftermath?" ”

Chu Yu glanced at her coldly and said, "You guessed?" ”

Jiang Wan spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth and said, "Damn, I really said it?" Could it be that the emperor just said something to his father? ”

Chu Yu sat down and said, "The emperor gave my father a ten-day deadline to find out the truth about the assassination. The tone was light, and there was no expression on his face.

"Ten days?" Jiang Wan muttered to herself, "What does this stinky boy mean?" ”

Jiang Wan saw Chu Yu sitting safely, so she leaned in and asked, "Little fox, you have a lot of ghost ideas, can you think of something?" ”

Chu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Huan, and said, "No." ”

“……”

Jiang Wan looked at Chu Yu and secretly thought that Chu Yu didn't know if he was pretending or really couldn't think of anything. She remembered that Chu Yu had said that he didn't want the palace to be peaceful, and Jiang Wan still didn't understand this sentence. She knew what secrets the little fox was hiding, but she couldn't find out yet.

Jiang Wan turned her mind to think about Jiang Che's actions. Jiang Che was suspicious of Chu Qian, and she could still understand it. After all, the Chu Xie family got married, which made Jiang Che's heart uncomfortable. Coupled with the assassination, there is more or less Chu Qian's fault. If Jiang Che wanted to condemn Chu Qian, Chu Jian would have no rebuttal. But Jiang Wan felt that Jiang Che was not so confused and couldn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Chu Jian is Chu Qian, and Xie Qi is Xie Qi. Even if the two of them are in-laws, Jiang Che should not doubt Chu Jian too much.

But judging from the current situation, Jiang Che seems to have any suspicions about Chu Qian. Did he set this deadline to put pressure on Chu Qian, or to punish Chu Qian?

At night, Jiang Wan tossed and turned, thinking about Jiang Che and Chu Jian all the time. Jiang Wan sighed that she was really working hard. When she was the eldest princess before, Ming Shang had completely handed over the country to Jiang Che with confidence. But in private, she didn't worry much about Jiang Che's affairs, and even cleaned up a lot of messes for him that he couldn't clean up. I thought that I was now a princess and was far away from the court. But once something happened to Jiang Che, she was still very worried.

There's no way, who called this world to be fought down with her help. Who let it sit on this throne is her dearest, her nephew!

Jiang Wan simply got out of bed and walked into the courtyard. On autumn nights, the cool breeze hits people, and it is very cold. Jiang Wan wrapped herself tightly and trembled twice, still thinking about Jiang Che's purpose in her heart.

Suddenly hearing a slight movement in her ears, Jiang Wan quickly raised her head and saw a figure on the roof. Jiang Wan didn't think about it, stepped on the stool, and quickly jumped onto the roof with her strength.

The person on the roof saw that he was discovered by Jiang Wan and was about to flee immediately. Jiang Wan quickly stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, and the two of them whirled around the roof. Under the move, that person's martial arts skills are not low, and Jiang Wan does not have any upper hand. Jiang Wan saw the opportunity and slapped the man's shoulder, and the man took a few steps back in pain, almost falling off the roof. Jiang Wan wanted to catch up to see who this person was, the man suddenly threw a dart, Jiang Wan immediately dodged, and when he stood firm again, the man had already taken the opportunity to escape and disappeared.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but wonder, who could that person be when he appeared on the roof of this courtyard at such a late hour?
