In the afternoon of this day, Yuxiu was teaching Yuerong embroidery in the hall. Suddenly, the bamboo curtain outside the door struck, and a little eunuch ran into the hall in a panic, Yuxiu was frightened, the tip of the needle pierced her fingers, and she couldn't help but be annoyed, "What are you doing in such a hurry?!" ”

The little eunuch was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Niangniang, Wang ...... The prince asked to see him. ”

As soon as she heard the word "prince", Yuxiu's hair stood on end, and her voice trembled a little, "Yes...... Is it the King of Xiangyang? ”

The little eunuch said with a bitter face, "It's the King of Jiangling." ”

As soon as Yuxiu heard this, her face was a little flustered, and she hurriedly pushed Yuerong and instructed, "Go inside quickly." After that, she turned around again, straightened the golden step on the sideburns, and her voice couldn't help but be a little higher, "Didn't you stop him?" The palace of the emperor's concubine, how can he come in at will?! ”

"This king has the emperor's permission to ask the lady about something."

Before the words fell, Chu Ying had slowly walked into the hall, "Chu Ying, the king of Jiangling, has seen Concubine Zhong Shu. ”

"Get up." Zhong Yuxiu was even a little short of breath, and she hurriedly waved her hand to the palace people around her and said, "Go down." ”

After everyone retreated, she calmed down and asked, "What does the prince want to ask about this palace when he comes this time?" ”

Chu Ying smiled faintly and slapped his palm twice, and An He followed behind and presented a big red kite.

When Zhong Yuxiu saw this kite, her face changed in fright, Chu Ying glanced at her slightly, and said calmly, "This kite, is it familiar?" ”

"It's just a kite, what's so familiar about this palace?" Yu Xiuqiang held his composure and said slowly, "The prince didn't come to the palace to ask questions for this kite, right?" ”

Chu Ying remained silent and glanced at her casually, "But this king heard that this kite is the plaything of Emperor Yuerong." ”

Yuxiu sneered coldly, barely calming down, "The Internal Affairs Office has made so many girls' things, they all look similar, whether it is the emperor's or not, how can the prince know?" ”

Chu Ying looked at Yuxiu, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "This kite was caught by the four princes when this king rescued the four princes that day, so this king wants to know if Niangniang has anything to do with this matter." ”

Yuxiu's heart sank suddenly, and her face turned pale, "The four princes have a lot of playfulness, Xu is chasing a kite, he fell into the water, the prince doesn't have enough evidence, why should he question the palace?!" ”

Chu Ying looked at her weak heart, and the suspicion in her eyes couldn't help but increase a little, "This king just wanted to ask Niangniang, and he didn't conclude that it was the fourth prince who was killed by Niangniang." ”

Yuxiu's eyes were slightly stunned, so angry that even her lips trembled, "You dare to slander this palace, believe it or not, this palace will sue the emperor!" ”

Chu Ying raised his eyes, "This king is doing things for the emperor." ”

Yuxiu sneered disdainfully, and slowly sank her face, "Is it for the emperor, or for your selfishness?" You and the queen have long had an affair, and this palace has always known that it is because you can't find evidence that you can't punish your crimes! ”

"Be careful when you speak." Chu Ying raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were full of fierceness, "Don't be disrespectful to the queen." ”

After saying that, he turned around and whispered to An He, "Let's go." ”

When he arrived at the Mingde Palace, Chu Luo was sitting precariously and looked at Chu Ying, "What did you ask?" ”

Chu Ying bowed slightly, "Concubine Shuniang didn't say anything." ”

Chu Luo's tense face gradually loosened a little, "Why do you suspect that it is my concubine?" ”

Chu Ying smiled faintly, "Brother is just suspicious, everyone has to ask carefully." ”

Chu Luo raised his eyes and glanced at him, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, "Concubine Shu has served me for many years, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter for me, so she shouldn't do anything to murder the emperor's heir." ”

Chu Ying lowered his head slightly, "Brother Chen understands." ”

For a time, in order to investigate the fall of the four princes into the water, there was an uproar. Within a month, all the palace people on duty that day were gathered one by one for torture, and the people in the palace were panicked.

Suddenly, I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that the eldest prince deliberately concealed the disappearance of the fourth prince and deliberately framed him. As soon as the rumors came out, all the spearheads were pointed at the eldest prince Yunke.

The Empress Dowager who heard the news trembled with anger, slapped the table fiercely, and said sharply, "Yun Ke is the grandson of the mourning family!" How could such a thing be done! Is it that the queen lost her parents and grieved excessively, so she deliberately framed Yun Ke! ”

Hui Zhi was so frightened that she staggered, and hurriedly comforted, "The queen mother is angry, and the slave and maid also believe that this matter must not be done by the eldest prince, but the eldest prince is also the adopted son of the queen's mother, and the queen will definitely not make such a decision." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, and her voice was a little sharp, "There is still a difference between an adopted son and a parent." Yun Ke's biological mother is Empress Zhenggong, and Empress Shen is the successor, and without the father and son of the fourth prince, she, the queen, is afraid that she will not sit unsteadily. ”

Hui Zhi frowned slightly, and the suspicion in her eyes grew, "Queen Mother, according to the slave maid, this matter seems to be deliberately done by someone to create rumors and drag the eldest prince into the water, so as to bring down Queen Shen." ”

The Queen Mother stared for a moment, her eyes were cold and distant, "The matter of the harem competing for favor and succession, the mourning family didn't want to pay attention to it." But Yunke is the bloodline of the Li family, and he must not be framed like this. He was only eleven years old, and he was shamelessly framed like this, saying that he was the murderer of his own brother. This person is simply ruthless, and his sin is unforgivable! Huizhi, go find out the person behind it and bring it to the mourning family. ”

Hui Zhi immediately understood, and bowed his head heavily, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

The rumors spread to the Taoyao Palace, and at first the palace people of Taoyao Palace tightly blocked the news, and did not dare to say it to the queen mother and the eldest prince, but when the eldest prince went to school, he obviously felt that everyone looked at him differently, and the palace people always avoided him carefully.

On this day, Hanyan picked up Yun Ke from school, and as soon as he funded the school, he bumped into Cao Jieyu head-on.

Cao Jieyu was originally a show girl who was drafted into the palace in Yongchang for seven years, and she was never favored after seven years in the palace, but she rose to the position of Jieyu because of her family's power. Han Yan knew that she was arrogant, and she didn't want to meet her, so she made a hasty salute and turned around to leave.

"Yo, isn't this the eldest prince?" Cao Jieyu smiled on her lips, and stopped Yun Ke when she said it.

Yun Ke turned his head when he heard the voice, and said respectfully, "Say hello to Cao Jieyu." ”

Cao Jieyu smiled even brighter, stretched out her hand and stroked Yunke's forehead and said, "The eldest prince is going back to the queen's palace, hey, the eldest prince has suffered a lot these days, and the queen's mother should not treat you well......"

"Little Master Jieyu." Han Yan immediately shouted and stopped, "It's not too early, the eldest prince will go back and still have to read the book." ”

Cao Jieyu glanced at her and said disdainfully, "Wen Shu is still so short for a while?" This palace can't say two words to the eldest prince? After that, she bent down to look at Yun Ke, and said with a smile, "The eldest prince, everyone in this palace said that you pushed the fourth prince into the water and drowned, but this palace doesn't believe it, how could you do such a thing as a well-behaved child......

"Little Lord!" Han Yan's face was flushed with anger, and he immediately pulled Yun Ke to protect him, and said sharply, "These unwarranted things can't be talked nonsense. ”

"Hey, what is this what Bengong said, it's spread in the palace, and Bengong is not allowed to mention it? This palace believes in the innocence of the eldest prince, but you are not happy. Cao Jieyu sneered coldly, turned around and walked away.

Han Yan trembled with anger, but suddenly felt that the corner of his clothes was gently pulled by Yun Ke, Yun Ke looked at Han Yan and asked timidly, "Aunt Han Yan, is what she said true?" ”

Hanyan leaned down and said solemnly, "Prince, don't listen to their nonsense, Cao Jieyu can't be favored by your father, and she is resentful, so she will deliberately say this." ”

"But she said that everyone in the palace said so, and today in the Zixue Hall, the palace people are avoiding me, and the husband doesn't ask me any more questions, I ......"

Han Yan listened, her heart tightened for a while, she immediately took Yun Ke's hand and said angrily, "Is there really such a thing? Let's go tell the queen and let her call the shots for us! ”

After returning to Taoyao Palace, Yun Ke told Chang'an about the matter, and when Chang'an heard it, he was immediately furious.

"How can this be true? Which palace is this a rumor?! ”

Hanyan and Wanxiang hurriedly knelt down, and Nuo Nuo said loudly, "Queen Mother, it has spread all over this palace now, and I don't know where it came from first......"

Chang An clenched his fingers tightly, his face turned blue for a while, "I didn't expect this trick to be ruthless......

Yun Ke was so frightened that his little face turned pale, he held Chang'an's hand, and silently shed two lines of tears, "Queen Mother, I didn't harm the fourth brother, it was the fourth brother who told me to go out to play for a while, and asked me to help him keep it secret, I really didn't hurt him......"

Chang'an's heart was sour, she held Yun Ke's shoulder, and gently instructed, "Yun Ke, the queen mother believes in you." You have such a good relationship with your fourth brother, you will definitely not harm him. But you listen well, no matter what kind of words come out now, don't listen, don't care, the queen mother will return your innocence. ”

Yun Ke tilted his face and nodded in a daze, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Chang An sighed slightly, and then ordered, "Hanyan, take him down." ”

After Hanyan and Yun Ke left, Wanxiang stepped forward and looked at Chang'an with a little shame, "Master, it's the slaves and maids who are not good, so they shouldn't be deliberately hidden." ”

Chang'an's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he unconsciously contained a trace of compassion, "I don't blame you, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and it's a fixed number." It's just that you think...... Who deliberately gave birth to rumors to harm Yun Ke? ”

Evening fragrance bowed her head lushly, "Master, forgive the slave and maid for being blunt, the slave and maid feel that this thing was done by the lady concubine." She is the only one who has a prince under her knees, of course, she has to plan well for the five princes. ”

Chang An sneered lightly, his bright eyes were extremely clear, "This person's heart is really vicious, as soon as Yun Jing left, he counted Yun Ke coming." He's just a kid, what's wrong? It's all our fault. ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Dezi ran in first, and said to Chang'an, "Queen Mother, Shen Zhaorong is here." ”
