The wrist was firmly pressed, and the dagger in his hand was only a fist away from Chu Shenxia's chest, Lu Zhi's resentful eyes collided with Liu Yanqing's eyes, and finally faded a little, but the dagger in his hand was always firmly clenched and refused to take back half a point.

Liu Yan slowly turned sideways, blocking in front of Chu Shenxia, seeing that the tip of the knife was about to hit him, Lu Zhi hurriedly withdrew his hand, sighed heavily, and saluted: "Since His Highness values him so much, then I have nothing to say, but in this East Palace, I will never be able to stay, and please ask Your Highness to send me to the barracks." ”

"You are all my confidants, all of whom I trust, no matter which one of you I have, I am like having broken my feet, and I am struggling." Liu Yan stretched out his hand and patted Lu Zhi's shoulder, his eyes flashing twice.

Lu Zhi was unmoved, his eyes were always fixed on the ground, and there was no response.

"Who told you about Lu Ke? And who wrote the blood letter? What is the purpose of this person, have you thought about it? Liu Yan grabbed the key point and asked.

Lu Zhi raised his eyes to look at Liu Yan, frowned tightly and said, "Wu Shou told me that it was Lu Ke who struggled to hold on to his breath before handing the blood book to him. ”

Liu Yan remembered this person, on the second day of Lu Ke's killing, Lu Zhi once knelt at the door of his room and questioned himself with a blood book, so he asked: "Is he in Jincheng or Jiankang now?" ”

"I haven't seen him since I came to Jiankang, so I should stay in Jincheng."

"Then how did you know that it was Chu Shenxia who killed Lu Ke?"

After Liu Yan asked, Chu Shenxia couldn't help but turn to Lu Zhi, after all, this is the biggest question at present, and it is also the most valuable question.

Lu Zhi moved his steps uneasily, scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I only know that every day after sunset, he will leave a note in the City God Temple, and the note is written about how Chu Shenxia betrayed His Highness." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Chu Shenxia angrily, Liu Yan heard this, and said in a slightly aggravated tone: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"I want to wait until I find evidence to inform His Highness, and once His Highness knows about this kind of groundless matter, His Highness will probably not believe it, and he will not cover him up at that time." Lu Zhi's gaze turned on Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia, and he was fierce for a while.

"Where's the note, show it to me." Liu Yan stretched out a hand in front of him.

Lu Zhi did not hesitate, and immediately took out a stack of notes from his arms, Liu Yan took it, stared at it, and the first one was written that Chu Shenxia was ordered by Liu Yu to kill Lu Ke and blame Liu Yan.

The second one is written that Chu Shenxia and Jing Yan should cooperate with each other and want to pull Liu Yan off the position of prince.

The third one is written that Chu Shenxia had a close relationship with the crown princess and intended to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty together with the Lu State.

The fourth one is written that Chu Shenxia will have a big move in the near future and needs several letters from him in order to compare the handwriting.

Liu Yan didn't have any emotion after reading it, and handed it to Chu Shenxia on the side casually, then glanced at Lu Zhi, and reprimanded in a low voice: "I don't know if I was used, I just ask you, if it is Lu Ke who I sent Chu Shenxia to kill, will you hate me as much as you hate Chu Shenxia, and you can't wait to kill me?" ”

Lu Zhi's eyebrows jumped, followed by a sudden jump in his heart, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "My subordinates ......." ”

Liu Yan interrupted him and said: "What Chu Shenxia did at that time was from my position, even if it was to do things for me, it can also be regarded as me ordering him to do things, not mentioning these, Lu Ke was implicated and imprisoned because of me, and he was assassinated by Liu Yu's killers because of me, in the final analysis, it was all because of me." If you want to hate me, you should hate me, it has nothing to do with others, Chu Shenxia is just a knife, and the person who really killed Lu Ke is me. ”

"My subordinates don't dare, I don't dare." Lu Zhi hurriedly said in panic.

Liu Yan asked, "Don't you dare or don't hate?" ”

Lu Zhi's face was flushed, and it took him a long time to squeeze out two words, "Don't hate." ”

He hung his head weakly, he naturally knew that although there was only a one-word difference between not daring and not hating, there was a world of difference, and he also clearly said what the meaning of these two words was.

Sure enough, Liu Yan showed a satisfied smile, motioned for Chu Shenxia to get up, and patted the shoulders of the two of them at the same time, half relieved and half comforted: "Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, is it still as good as before?" ”

Chu Shenxia glanced at Lu Zhi and responded very quickly, but Lu Zhi did not respond, and Liu Yan was not reluctant, so he acquiesced.

Only then did he turn to Chu Shenxia and said, "What's the use of him asking for your letter?" ”

Chu Shenxia pondered slightly, then raised his head and said, "If you want to imitate my handwriting, he has my letters, why bother to take them deliberately?" Besides, I didn't have any confidential correspondence with anyone, and I didn't even write any letters in the year, except for the earlier years when I was in the mountains and my mother wrote more frequently. ”

Liu Yan nodded, and said indifferently: "Presumably, I also took the opportunity to test Lu Zhi to see if he became wary of you." ”

Chu Shenxia stared and thought for a while, but he couldn't think of the true intention of that person, hesitated again and again, but decided to go to Taihu Lake to look for the fishergirl first according to the original plan, and couldn't help but tell again: "Your Highness will remember tomorrow morning......

"I know, I remember, I've been wording just now, don't worry, I'll bite Cong Jian tomorrow." Liu Yan turned around, stepped on the steps, and sat back in front of the table.

"That's fine, I'll be in Taihu Lake these days, three days at the fastest, and half a month at the slow." Chu Shenxia smiled slightly and quipped, "If I can't find it, I won't come back." ”
