Yang Chen remembered that more than two months ago, he received instructions from King Xuan to dig up something like a tree branch where Mrs. Mei had hoeed the grass during the day. If it weren't for King Xuan's guidance, he dug up several branches of that kind in several places one after another, he would definitely mistakenly think that what he had dug up was just ordinary broken branches.

At a glance, it was just an ordinary branch cut off, only the length and thickness of the fingers, but if you look closely, it is not a variety in the palace garden, and the roots are put together, neatly and neatly, as if someone has deliberately dealt with them.

Yang Chen didn't expect that Mrs. Mei, who didn't make a noise on weekdays, would also make ghosts behind her back, so she had no intention of playing with flowers and plants all day long.

It's just that Leng Yanqiu can't say exactly what those broken branches are, only that they should be plants from the south and are not poisonous.

However, Leng Yanqiu also said that even plants that are not poisonous in themselves will change when they encounter certain things, not poisons but can be used as medicine, as for the specific effect of these broken branches, he does not know.

Later, Ximen Jingxuan ordered Yang Chen to bury those broken branches in place.

After not wanting to, Mrs. Mei quietly dug up those broken branches and burned them, and Mrs. Zhiqi also found Mrs. Mei to inquire about the smell of smoke, and Mrs. Mei said that she wanted to burn ashes to fertilize flowers and plants.

Later, Mrs. Mei began to serve tea to Ximen Jingxuan.

"I'm curious why she burned those things?" Ximen Jingxuan said, "According to the time, it was the king who took her into the palace to see Ximen Trace. ”

"Does the prince suspect that Mrs. Mei obeyed the arrangement of the second prince?" Yang Chen asked.

"She's definitely got something to do with Simon Marks." Ximen Jingxuan said, "It was this king who deliberately took her into the palace to get close to Ximen Mark, and she also promised this king to pay attention to Ximen Mark's situation, but then she told this king that she saw Ximen Mark but didn't have a chance to say anything, but when she said this, this king saw that her hands had been tightly crossed together, and that was her nervous reaction." ”

"She lied." Yang Chen said, "That is, the second prince really has a problem. ”

Ximen Jingxuan nodded, "When we return to the capital from southern Xinjiang together, it is impossible for them to have no problems, but what this king can't figure out is who is instructed by what she wants to do." ”

"Isn't it the second prince?" Yang Chen asked.

"This king believes that the broken branch of Wumei is the same as Zhiqi's dagger, and the result comes from Ximen Mark, but the cause is not necessarily him." Ximen Jingxuan Road.

"The prince once analyzed that Zhiqi and the thief dagger should be related to the cloak man, but what about Mrs. Mei? Could it be another line arranged by the cloaked man beside the prince? Yang Chen asked.

Ximen Jingxuan shook his head, "Wumei is from Yuehua Kingdom, it should have nothing to do with the cloaked people in the capital, I think it is still from Yuehua Kingdom, but this king thinks about the situation when he met Wumei at that time, there is no one behind her, otherwise she would not have fallen into such a miserable situation, if it weren't for the appearance of this king, her fate still doesn't know what will be." If something happened to Wumei, it should be that she finally arrived at King Xuan's Mansion and was considered available, so she was targeted. ”

"This Mrs. Mei is really repaying virtue with resentment!" Yang Chen was dissatisfied.

"No wonder she, originally, the king's intention to rescue her was not pure, it was just a private deal with the monarch of Yuehua Kingdom." Ximen Jingxuan said, "If she has any deal with others, what can this king say?" ”

"No matter what, it was the prince who saved her from fire and water, if she assassinated the prince with others, she shouldn't be!" Yang Chen said.

"But hasn't she already burned those strange broken branches?" Ximen Jingxuan drank the last sip of tea and leaned back on the chair.

"It must have been something that the second prince told her that made her change her mind." Yang Chen said.

"Yes, the problem of change must be with Simon. Simon Zhen is a person who really makes this king more and more incomprehensible, and he doesn't understand what he wants to do. To be sure, we were all deceived by him before, but he didn't design like the cloaked man, and he also had daggers and burnt branches, all of which he planned for this king before he knew the situation. ”

Ximen Jingxuan pondered, "He took the first step to grasp what the king didn't know, and quietly put himself out of the matter, on the surface, he was still facing the king's side, now think about it carefully, the female corpse that appeared in the courtyard of Zhiqi at the beginning, that is, what Yan'er said, the Yinzhi that Lin Xin'er told her that wanted to impostor and be removed was thrown into the Xuanwang Mansion by Ximen's people." The purpose was obviously to remind the king, but it was later disrupted by Xin'er. ”

"When the prince said this, the second prince seems to be really on our side, but what he did was so mysterious, there was an accident behind his back, he hid himself for so many years, and the second prince's scheming was deep enough." Yang Chen said, "I don't know what his plans are to do this?" But the purpose can be imagined, it must be for the throne, before the prince and the prince were one, he didn't dare to act rashly, and now the prince has lost the protection of the prince and turned his face with the prince, so he began to move. ”

"It's not just him who is about to move, there are already people who can't stand it when nothing happens between the prince and the king, if he doesn't do it behind his back, this king and Xin'er, and the prince why do they need to get today's fields!" Ximen Jingxuan's eyes unconsciously burst out with a slight chill.

Fighting for power is an indispensable thing over the years, but it endangers him and Xin'er, and it is really hateful to make a fuss about their relationship.

"Cloaked Man...... Who the hell is it? Yang Chen muttered to himself.

"Although this king doesn't have any evidence, it should be him." Ximen Jingxuan leaned on the back of his chair and looked up at the roof, as if there were two mosquitoes whirling and fighting.

After following Ximen Jingxuan for many years, Yang Chen still knows a lot about his words and deeds.

Yang Chen knew who this "he" was, but there were still too many incredibles when he thought about it.

He is obviously a sick and weak man, and has a reputation that everyone appreciates, could he really be a cloaked man hidden in the shadows?

Although Ximen and "he" are both surprising now, I think the cloaked man is even darker than the second prince.

"The situation of the year is finally going to play out again, if the emperor knows that his other two sons are not as everyone sees, will he be happy? After all, if they can have such a movement, it means that no matter which one of them is stronger than Simon Che, I wonder if the emperor will still be like before, even if he doesn't like the prince, but he still has his heart for the prince? ”

Ximen Jingxuan said, staring intently at the mosquitoes hovering on the roof, and finally one of them fell and fled out of the window.

"Now that the prince has gone to Northern Xinjiang, I wonder if there will be any movement in the capital?" Yang Chen also thought about it.
