Ten days later, the excerpt written by Cheng Yuanzheng was sent to Kyoto. The rain in Ling'an has stopped, and the flood has a tendency to stop, Cheng Yuanzheng led everyone to build a flood canal according to the method agreed with Zhao Ying before, and the people of Ling'an spontaneously searched for the whereabouts of Zhao Ying and Lu Ran, but after all, there was no news, and the two did not know whether they were alive or dead.

The emperor's face sank like water, and the folds in his hands had been deformed by him. He originally just wanted to experience his own prince, but he didn't expect such a result, at the moment Zhao Ying's life and death are uncertain, but he is involved in such a big flood, and the chance of survival is very slim. Thinking of Zhao Ying's resolute face before leaving, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

"Qi Qi Sheng, Prime Minister Zheng has sent additional people to Ling'an to search for the whereabouts of the three princes, and I hope that the Holy Lord will take care of the dragon body!" The big eunuch on the side said respectfully, with a little worry in his tone.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Feng Cheng Yuanzheng is the county guard of Ling'an, and he will be fully responsible for the flood, as for the three princes, he must see people in life and corpses in death!" ”

And in the general's mansion at this time, Jing Ning also had a little sadness on his face, is this really fate? She vaguely remembered Zhao Ying's upright posture before leaving, but at this time, I was afraid that the figure would no longer be visible, although she was already Xiao Rin's wife, but she didn't want to see Zhao Ying end up like this.

At this moment, Xiao Kite's happy voice sounded: "Sister-in-law! Brother has a letter! ”

Jing Ning was shocked when she heard this, and she hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully. It turned out that Xiao Rin could not return to Beijing at the moment, although he had won the battle now, the remaining Qi army did not withdraw, but Li Shang presided over the confrontation with the Zhao army, so he had to stay at the border for a while, but it is estimated that there will be no more large-scale wars.

Jing Ning sighed slightly after reading it, the feeling in his heart was a little subtle, on the one hand, he was happy for Xiao Rin, but on the other hand, he was a little worried about Chen Zhi's situation, now that the Qi State was defeated, the second prince died on the battlefield, the Qi Emperor was already old, and I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm in the court of the Qi State.

Jing Ning was right, the current Qi Kingdom was indeed surging everywhere, and all forces were ready to move, especially the several princes in the palace. The second prince was originally domineering, and he also had his own power in the court, and he had always pressed on the heads of the princes, like a successor, so he had been jointly resisted by the princes.

But at this time, the spearhead that could unite the princes was gone, and everyone had their own thoughts. The eldest prince ran to the prime minister's house when he had nothing to do, the fourth prince was to marry the eldest daughter of the military department, the sixth prince was to serve diligently in front of the emperor every day, and the seventh prince was still young, but his mother took him to visit many princes and generals of the Qi State.

Only the third prince and the fifth prince Chen Zhi looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, and they looked very leisurely.

"The fifth brother has improved his chess skills recently, and I'm afraid I'm going to lose this game." The third prince looked at Chen Zhi on the opposite side with a smile, and his slender fingers dropped a son on the plate at will, which was quite a bit like a broken jar.

Chen Zhi chuckled when he heard this: "It was the imperial brother who let me." ”

The third prince simply put down the chess pieces in his hand, leaned to the side and looked at Chen Zhi in front of him. Chen Zhi was dressed in red, his black hair was tied with a red rope at the back of his head very casually, his seductive peach blossom eyes were harmless and pure, and the smile on his lips was also very warm. The third prince looked at himself, an emperor who was a little more beautiful than a woman, and he was a little distracted for a while.

"Brother Huang?" Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows, and his slender fingers shook lightly in front of the third prince.

The third prince came back to his senses, his face was a little impressive, and he said with a smile: "As soon as the news of the second brother's death came, the others couldn't sit still, and now the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Guogong Mansion is about to be trampled on." There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Chen Zhi's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and the smile on his lips did not decrease but increased.

"I'm afraid my father doesn't like them doing this."

The third prince nodded, looking deeply approving. Indeed, the second prince has just gone, but the princes did not show a little sadness, but they were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, as if they had caught up with some great good thing, the more they were like this, the more ruthless they were in the eyes of the emperor, so the three princes were almost closed in the past few days, and today they called Chen Zhi to play chess together when they were bored.

"I don't know what my father thinks in his heart, it's really easy to shake people's hearts in such a mess right now." The faces of the three princes were a little worried, at this time the war between Qi and Zhao was not over, the border was still insisting, and the domestic undercurrents of Qi were surging, and there were both internal and external troubles, which was really unreassuring.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, my father is such a shrewd person, I think I must arrange it freely, you and I might as well enjoy a quiet time, and wait for my father's will, I'm afraid that there will be no time to play chess." Chen Zhi smiled warmly, he picked up the wine jug and drank it as he spoke, and his chic appearance made the third prince envious.

In his eyes, Chen Zhi is a child who has not grown up, a younger brother who needs his protection, not his competitor, which makes him feel a little lucky, fortunately Chen Zhi is such a non-contentious character, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to feel the feelings between brothers.

"The fifth brother is right, no matter what, today I will not get drunk with the fifth brother and not return!" The third prince was infected by Chen Zhi's chic, he smiled heartily, and drank the wine by himself.

Chen Zhi's eyes flashed a little inexplicable, he was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface, but he understood that if his behavior was too ostentatious at this time, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other princes, and if it attracted a group to attack him, it would be very bad, so at such a sensitive juncture, the best thing to do is to do nothing, taoguang and obscurity, and it is best to brake quietly.

Let a few of them fight to the exhaustion first, so that they can profit from it. Chen Zhi thought like this, and couldn't help but come to his senses, and it wasn't until the third prince called him that he came back to his senses.

"I just want to say to the royal brother, Gou Fugui, don't forget each other!" Chen Zhi smiled and teased the three princes, while the three princes waved their hands, smiling very heartily.

"When the fifth brother wants, just ask."

Chen Zhi showed a harmless smile and continued to say some inconsequential words to the third prince, he suddenly felt a little curious, if the third prince knew that the emperor who had always regarded him as a child had such a deep mind, I don't know how he would feel? Chen Zhi imagined that scene, the smile on his lips deepened a little, and a little mischievous fun flashed in his eyes, he was really looking forward to it.
