Cheng Xi stared at Xue Ning on the field, always feeling a little strange, Princess Rui on the side was calm, not as flustered as other female dependents, seeing that Cheng Xi had been staring at the center of the hall and not moving, thinking that he was scared stupid, and stretched out his hand to hug Cheng Xi and comforted, "Don't worry, with the prince here, it will be fine." ”

Cheng Xi shook his head and responded, "I'm fine." After that, he turned his head to look at the position of the first emperor, and felt very strange, is this really an assassination? Is this Xue Ning really an assassin?

She kept looking at Xue Ning in the center of the main hall, she was stunned at first, and then stood up at a loss, although she couldn't see her expression clearly, but Cheng Xi could tell from her movements that she seemed to be surprised that something like this happened, and then she was caught by the guards who rushed out, and the flying knives that flew out Cheng Xi also paid attention, so far away, from the center of this hall to the middle of the emperor's first dragon chair, there are still a few guards, if this is really to assassinate the emperor, can it succeed?

And if it was really an assassination, shouldn't there be assassins who would have taken advantage of the chaos after creating such a situation? Why is there only one "assassin" Xue Ning?

Those flying knives were finally intercepted by the guards on the way, and Xue Ning was also controlled, but the first emperor was furious, and looked coldly at Xue Youxiang, who was already kneeling on the edge of the main hall, and said in a cold voice, "Xue Aiqing, you explain to me well, what is going on?" ”

The empress, who was originally sitting in the first place under the emperor, also knelt down on the spot at this time, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that there must be something strange in this, Ning'er, you are clear, you have no power to restrain the chicken, how can you be an assassin?" ”

The emperor snorted coldly, "You shut up for me, I want to listen to Lord Xue's explanation." ”

Kneeling below, Xue Youxiang also said in a panic, "Your Majesty, this must be a conspiracy, a conspiracy, Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know anything about this." ”

Only how could the emperor listen to Xue Youxiang's explanation, he was a puppet emperor before, and his temperament was originally sensitive and suspicious, but now he has finally gotten rid of the control of the Murong family, and the power he controls, the first thing to guard against is a relative like Xue Youxiang and Zhao Zuoxiang, so he came up with a checks and balances to let them check and balance each other's rights.

And the scene that happened at this moment made the suspicion in the emperor's heart continue to amplify, and he couldn't hear the explanation of the right minister at all, so he only coldly opened his mouth and ordered the forbidden army who rushed in the hall to escort him, "Tie up all the people of the Xue family, put them in the prison for trial, send the queen back to the palace to think about it behind closed doors, and before the matter is clear, you must not take a step out of the palace gate, carefully search the palace, see if there is any remaining party, and the source of this qin, and also give me a detailed investigation." ”

Under the emperor's order, the forbidden army began to implement without hesitation, the forbidden army around the emperor, no matter what your identity is, will be carried out in accordance with the emperor's order, even the moment he was taken down by the forbidden army, Xue Weiguo couldn't believe it, how could it become like this to participate in a family banquet in the palace, is this completely a Hongmen banquet set up for him?

It's just that no matter how much he shouted that he was wronged, he was still taken down by the forbidden army and put into the prison, and with the family he brought, as well as the "assassin" Xue Ning, he was imprisoned in the prison together.

When the people of the Xue family were taken away, the first emperor returned to his previous gentle appearance, as if the person who had just spoken out was not him, and greeted King Rui, "Let the imperial uncle see the joke, originally I thought that the imperial uncle would rarely come to Beijing and wanted to entertain him, but I didn't want such a thing to happen." ”

King Rui sighed and responded, "I didn't expect the minister to come back to the capital for the first time, and he actually saw such a scene, such a thing happened, His Majesty is afraid that he has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, but now the dust has finally settled, but Your Majesty still has to be more careful, tonight Your Majesty is afraid that he is also tired, and the ministers will not bother, Your Majesty will rest earlier." ”

Hearing what King Derui said, the emperor couldn't keep it anymore, and said, "Then let's disperse, and I will hold a separate banquet to entertain the imperial uncle another day." ”

King Rui replied, "Your Majesty has this intention, and the ministers will be content, and the ministers will leave." ”

After that, King Rui took the lead in standing up, and Princess Rui also signaled Cheng Xi to get up and follow her, Cheng Xi reluctantly glanced at Zhao Yu on the side, and then turned around and left with Princess Rui.

Ge Shu also looked at Zhao Yu a little reluctant to leave, but in the end he seemed to think of something, so he gritted his teeth and turned around and left.

Because it was in the palace, and there was such a thing at the palace banquet, the group had nothing to say, let alone talk casually in the palace, so they quietly followed the eunuch who led the way to the carriage and went out of the palace in the carriage.

Because it was night, Prince Rui, who likes to ride horses, got into the carriage and got into the carriage with Princess Rui, so Ge Shu got into the carriage of Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi again.

Only at this time, Ge Shu put away his usual expression, his brows were slightly furrowed and he looked worried, Cheng Xi saw it, and knew that this person was worried about Zhao Yu.

Cheng Xi sighed and comforted, "Since Yu'er can come to the palace banquet, there should be nothing wrong, it may just be that she is in a bad mood, so don't worry too much." ”

Ge Shu didn't answer Cheng Xi, but only said to Xu Sanlang next to Cheng Xi, "Let's move a little faster." ”

Cheng Xi heard it in a fog, but suddenly remembered that something was wrong with him during today's palace banquet, and then looked at Ge Shu with wide eyes, and whispered, "This matter?" Did you make it? ”

Ge Shu glanced at Cheng Xi and was slightly surprised, probably because he didn't expect Cheng Xi to see it, so he no longer concealed his mouth and responded, "What do you mean I made it?" The guy next to you also did a lot of work. ”

Cheng Xi looked at Ge Shu and then at Xu Sanlang, and said, "It's really okay, you guys, it's only been a day, and you have tossed such a thing, but does he know about it?" ”

Cheng Xi can remember Princess Rui's reaction, he shouldn't know the truth of this matter, if they hide it from the prince and let the prince know, it is time to clean them up.

I didn't want Ge Shu to respond, "How can he not know such a big matter, this family matter should almost be solved, but the matter between me and Yu'er really can't be delayed any longer, let's move quickly." ”

In the latter words, Ge Shu said it to Xu Saburo.

Cheng Xi was a little worried, and said worriedly, "Are you doing this too much?" Assassinating the emperor is a big crime, and Xue Ning is also a victim, so it seems that this thing is a bit excessive. ”

Cheng Xi was soft-hearted in the end, and felt that Xue Ning was inexplicably accused of assassinating the emperor, and he was really innocent.

Xu Sanlang stretched out a hand, hugged Cheng Xi and then patted Cheng Xi's shoulder, comforting, "You don't have to worry about the Xue family and the people of the Xue family, this Xue family is not only the right minister, but also General Xue, who doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, but still has a great influence on the court." ”

Cheng Xi was finally a little relieved when he heard Xu Saburo say this, and said, "Yes, there is such a person, I have forgotten, but how did you put the dagger in that piano, and how did you make that dagger fly out in the direction of Your Majesty?" ”

Ge Shu replied triumphantly, "Forgot what I'm best at?" Such a small mechanism, it is easy to capture, and it is done for the people who are placed in the palace to help bring it into the palace, and the mechanism that touches the dagger and flies out is on the strings, so that Ah Yi can put a little effort on the piano, so that the person who plays the piano loses control, messes up the strings, and the dagger flies out, it's that simple, how? ”

Cheng Xi didn't bother to deal with Ge Shu's self-feeling narcissism, but muttered, "No wonder, I said that the guqin was played well in the front, but it didn't taste like that in the back." ”

Ge Shu was anxious about his next move, and urged again, "Brother, you said, can you plan in advance?" ”

Xu Saburo didn't answer Ge Shu, but said in a heavy tone, "Let's go back and discuss it." ”

After that, there was silence in the carriage, and Ge Shu, who usually talked the most about Erlang, was really worried about Zhao Yu, and it was rare to stop talking nonsense along the way.

Cheng Xi rarely saw Ge Shu like this, but he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he said, "Since you are so worried, you will sneak away to take a look." ”

Only Cheng Xi's idea is good, if he is caught, it will be troublesome again, Ge Shuming knows that it is risky to do this, but he wants to do it very much in his heart, and he can't help but say to Cheng Xi, "Look, it's your bad idea every time." ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "You think I have a bad idea, then you have the ability not to do it according to my bad idea." ”

Although Ge Shu planned to listen to Cheng Xi and secretly go to see Zhao Yu, he was still a little sensible in the end, and he didn't go over now, but followed Cheng Xi and them back to the palace first, cleaned up, and then sneaked out of the mansion with a few guards with good kung fu.

After the group went back, they each went back to their own small courtyard to rest, only Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang came back for a while, and they were about to wash up and rest, and King Rui sent someone to call Xu Sanlang, saying that there was something to discuss with him.

Xu Sanlang had to let Cheng Xi rest first, and followed his subordinates to King Rui's side.

Cheng Xi lay on the bed after washing, but he never fell asleep, and waited until Xu Sanlang came back.

Xu Sanlang thought that Cheng Xi had already slept, and after going to the next bathroom to wash up, he went back to the room lightly, and the oil lamp was not lit, so he felt the darkness and lay on the bed, but as soon as he lay down, he heard Cheng Xi's voice next to him, "Why did you go for so long?" ”

There was coquettishness in his tone, and there was a slight complaint.

Xu Sanlang guessed that Cheng Xi must have pouted at this time with a dissatisfied little expression, and sketched such a picture in his mind, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and asked softly, "Why haven't you slept so late?" ”

As he spoke, Xu Saburo had already reached out and hooked the person inside into his arms and wrapped it in the crook of his arm.

Cheng Xi uncomfortably adjusted a comfortable sleeping position in Xu Sanlang's arms before he spoke, "Didn't I wait for you, I can't sleep, you haven't said it yet, why did you come back so late?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "Talk about some things, so it's late, let's sleep." ”

Cheng Xi was curious and continued to ask, "Didn't Ge Shu go to find Zhao Yu?" Are you talking to the prince? Are you sure you can talk about anything together? ”

Cheng Xi thought of that kind of picture in his mind, and always felt that it should be a picture of sitting without saying a word to the two of them, which was more suitable for the two of them.

Xu Saburo responded, "Ge Shu was caught before he could go out, and then the three of them talked about it for so long in the study. ”

Cheng Xi said clearly, "I'll just say, just talk about things with the prince, no matter what, it feels weird." ”

Hearing Cheng Xi's more objective and realistic evaluation, Xu Sanlang replied helplessly, "Yes, go to bed early." ”

Only Cheng Xi opened his mouth again and asked, "What are you talking about?" Talked about it for so long. ”
