I don't know how long it has been, but it has been completely dark, and at night in Dole Mountain, even with a torch, the road cannot be illuminated very clearly. There are many rare and exotic beasts on the mountain, and if you are not careful, you may get lost in the forest and never get out again.

Originally, Du Zihuan wanted to continue looking for it, but due to the sky, he had to give up, so he could only return to the palace for the time being to see what the situation of other people was.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Du Zihuan returned to the palace and saw the emperor sitting on a chair with a bad complexion, and he knew that something was wrong.

"Lin'er is poisoned. It was the hands of the people who chased and killed Yueqin. The emperor's face was cloudy, and he seemed to know that he was suppressing his anger.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince was also poisoned? So, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back? Du Zihuan was stunned when he heard the emperor's words, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen after he went to find Ji Yueqin.

"Yu'er is fine, and I have also caught a few assassins, but depending on their identities, they are all from Daliang!" The emperor placed the teacup heavily on the table.

Du Zihuan frowned, originally he felt that this matter was a little strange, seeing that those assassins did not hide their identity as Da Liang, although now that Da Yu and Da Liang have broken off diplomatic relations, they have not completely torn their faces, but those people blatantly entered the land of Da Yu, not to mention, the purpose is just to target Ji Yueqin, I am afraid it is a little unreasonable.

"I'm afraid you've already thought of something wrong, but I think Daliang is probably really involved, but it's very likely that someone will put it together." The emperor said coldly.

"Why does the emperor think so? But if you want to destroy my Dayu first, you should also attack the emperor, how can you attack Princess An Ning alone? Du Zihuan said what he thought in his heart.

The emperor sneered: "I have always known about the fine work of Daliang in my court, but he doesn't kill me now, but he makes it clear that he wants to take Yueqin's life, which is not the style of the Daliang royal family." ”

When Du Zihuan heard this, he also understood a little, "Could it be that the emperor thinks it is a careful work of the court?" ”

"Whether it's done carefully or not, I don't know. But it can't be said that Da Liang has nothing to do with this matter, I am afraid that it is the collusion between my people in the court and Da Liang that led to this result. Moreover, this person who colluded with Daliang may not have a simple identity. The emperor said coldly.

Du Zihuan immediately had a candidate in his heart, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

The emperor glanced at him, and his tone softened, "Zihuan, don't you and I sometimes have to follow the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, haven't we always been friends before?" ”

Du Zihuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about who will benefit from the final result of this matter?" ”

The emperor listened to Du Zihuan's words, but fell silent. It's not that the emperor doesn't know what Du Zihuan means, but he understands it too well, but he can't say anything else.

"Duan Xue." The emperor just spit out two words, and a sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Du Zihuan lowered his head and did not say a word.

"I really don't know." The emperor let out a long sigh, "Rou'er told me to take good care of Duan Xue, in fact, in addition to love, I can give her a lot of things." She has been in this harem for so many years, I have seen it, she is like this now, what should I do? ”

The emperor no longer calls himself me, and sometimes, he can only change back to his original self in front of Du Zihuan.

"It's not easy for the emperor these years, I know that you have too many things to face every day, the queen, it's not Duan Xue who is calling her sister after Rou'er for a long time." Du Zihuan's voice also softened, and he said quietly.

"Zihuan, do you know, if Duan Xue doesn't deal with Yueqin, I'm afraid I won't want to abolish her." The emperor's eyes became sharper, "Originally, I thought that she would put the Duan family on the throne, and she relied on the power of the family to show off her might, and the scenery was infinite, but who knew that she actually colluded with the Blood Cherry Pavilion, and I didn't know how many pickled things she had done in private." ”

"But the emperor, you can't be too sure that the queen mother is colluding with Daliang, this is just Weichen's speculation." Du Zihuan was silent for a while, but still said to the emperor.

"I'm afraid that ** is not far from ten, now we are confined tightly, Duan Xue is really covering the sky with one hand now, and she doesn't take me in her eyes at all." The emperor sneered.

Du Zihuan wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed back, "I will take someone to find Yueqin early tomorrow morning, and the emperor might as well take His Royal Highness the Second Prince back to the palace." ”

Up to now, where are there still people who have the heart to hunt, two county lords have had an accident in a row, and the emperor's favorite county lord Anning is also missing, everyone is panicked, and they also understand that this day is going to change.

The emperor nodded, it wasn't that he didn't want to stay to find Yueqin, but that as an emperor, he had a last resort.

"I'll leave half of it for you tomorrow." He patted Du Zihuan on the shoulder, "You go and rest first, I've been looking for a day, and I'll continue tomorrow." ”

Du Zihuan nodded, "Then Weichen will leave first." ”

After speaking, he made a gesture to the emperor and exited the emperor's room.

The emperor supported his head with his hand, he really felt so tired and helpless, and he didn't even know what to do.

"Father, have you rested?" Nam Xuanyu's voice rang out outside the house.

"It's Yu'er. Come on in. The emperor's voice was a little tired, but he still let Nan Xuanyu in.

"Father, the son came this time because he wanted to ask his father about something." Nan Xuanyu hesitated a little, but still spoke.

"Just say what you want." The emperor didn't look at Nan Xuanyu, and leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed.

Nan Xuanyu was still a little hesitant in his heart, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Father, is this matter related to the queen mother?" ”

I saw that the emperor's brows furrowed, and then fell silent.

When Nan Xuanyu saw the emperor's appearance, he immediately understood in his heart, and he didn't say anything, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Don't think about it, you will leave for the palace tomorrow, after all, your second emperor brother was also injured, if you are free, go and see him." The emperor's voice was full of exhaustion, and he didn't answer Nan Xuanyu's question, but just opened his eyes and looked at Nan Xuanyu's expression.

Nan Xuanyu hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking, but after all, he was the emperor's son, and the emperor could guess what he was thinking, "Okay, let's go to rest early if there's nothing to do, pack up and go back to the palace tomorrow." ”
