Chongde Hall.

The emperor raised his hand deeply and waved away the attendants in the hall, staring at Chu Xizhi condescendingly and said coldly, "Xizhi, you are my favorite son!" In the future, this great treasure will be handed over to you sooner or later, but you ...... You can't wait! ”

"Father, the prince's poisoning has nothing to do with his sons, and I also ask my father to learn about it." Chu Xizhi knelt on the ground and shouted grievances.

"You appeared at the back door of the Prince's Mansion with your front foot, and the news of the prince's poisoning came out on your back foot, is all this just a 'coincidence'?" The emperor stared at Chu Xizhi coldly, the essence in his eyes flashed, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest.

"Father, the son was led to the prince's mansion. Today, someone attacked Erchen, and Erchen chased the man to the prince's mansion, but he never thought that he would encounter such a thing, Erchen was really wronged! Chu Xizhi bowed his head and saluted.

The emperor smiled coldly, "That person? ”

"Erchen didn't notice for a while and let him run away."

"Run! Scold! The emperor sneered a few times, he turned around and walked to the front of the couch and sat down, raised his hand and gently picked up the teacup on the small table, his eyes suddenly became a little colder, and at the same time, the teacup in his hand slammed towards Chu Xizhi, "Are you old and confused!" According to your martial arts, who can escape from your pursuit a little bit, not to mention the guards around you, are they all stupid! ”

Bright red blood seeped out along Chu Xizhi's smooth forehead.

Chu Xizhi knelt on the ground motionless, only raised his eyes to look at the emperor with deep anger, "Father, as you said, your love for your sons is well known, and there is really no reason for your sons to do something to the prince!" Besides, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Erchen really wants to attack the prince, it is impossible to personally attack and let people catch him. Father, this incident is clearly someone deliberately trying to blame the sons! Please also ask the emperor to take a look! ”

"!" The emperor slapped the table and stood up suddenly, his body trembled slightly with anger from Chu Xizhi's words, and his sharp eyes swept towards Chu Xizhi who was kneeling on the ground like a sword out of the sheath.

"Your Majesty is angry." Gonggong Zhang, who was the only one allowed to stay, hurriedly stepped forward and stroked the emperor's back to smooth him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yushi Wang of Zuodu, Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Xu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Scholar Ji and Elder Zhang Ge have come to meet Your Majesty." A little eunuch walked in and bowed his head.

"What are they coming to do!" The emperor's eyebrows twisted slightly, his cold eyes slowly crossed Chu Xizhi, and finally looked sideways at Zhang Gonggong on the side, "You go out and have a look." ”

"Yes." Gonggong Zhang answered, and went out, and after a while, he walked in again and saluted the emperor, and whispered in the emperor's ear, "Your Majesty, several adults have come to His Royal Highness King Yan to intercede." ”

The emperor's face changed suddenly, and his sharp gaze swept towards Chu Xizhi suddenly, and in the twilight, anger was like ten thousand horses galloping in his chest, and he tried his best to hold his breath, which gradually calmed his mood.

However, after calling him to the Chong'an Hall for a while, these people immediately rushed to protect the Lord! These people have not yet taken him, the emperor, into their eyes!

"Good! All right! The emperor looked at Chu Xizhi and said hello twice, at the end, he looked at Chu Xizhi with a gloomy face, "Since they all came to Chong'an Hall to intercede for you, then you can go out and kneel with them!" ”

"Father!"

"Why, do you want to resist the decree!"

"Erchen doesn't dare." Chu Xizhi fell to the ground in fear.

Yanwang Mansion.

Xiao Xi walked around the room anxiously, knowing that Chu Xizhi had been brought into the Chongde Palace, and it had been two hours, but there had been no news yet.

"Imperial sister-in-law, don't worry, the imperial brother has already been sure of this matter, otherwise according to the imperial brother's kung fu, how could those forbidden troops be caught properly, you, don't worry." Chu Muzhi sat on the chair and said to Xiao Xi while fiddling with the fruits in the fruit bowl.

Xiao Xi rolled Chu Mu's eyes slightly, and before he could speak, the door suddenly pushed open, and Ziyan walked in.

"Princess."

Xiao Xiwei grabbed the purple smoke who wanted to salute, "How is it?" Any news? ”

"The emperor punished the prince, and a few pleading adults knelt in front of the Chongde Hall together." Purple flue.

"What...... So, that concubine? Does the concubine know about this? Xiao Xi took Ziyan's hand and said anxiously.

"The concubine Niangniang also went, but the emperor had already gone to the East Palace." Ziyan said again.

After listening to Ziyan's words, Xiao Xiwei finally couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chu Muzhi, "What are you planning?" Did you do the poisoning of the prince, and if so, why did you deliberately let people find out? ”

At this point, her mind was a mess and wet.

"Imperial sister-in-law, haven't you always been the calmest?" Chu Muzhi looked at Xiao Xi and pursed his lips slightly, and threw the fruit in his hand into the air and caught it steadily.

Could it be that the imperial brother asked him to go to the Yanwang Mansion to stabilize him, the little imperial sister-in-law. The little imperial sister-in-law was such a calm and intelligent person, but when she met the matter of the imperial brother, she was so calm.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, when is this time when are you still selling Guanzi." Ziyan couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but speak.

When Ziyan said this, Chu Muzhi covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, "The poison in the prince is actually a chronic poison, what we did was just 'accidentally' stimulated the poison in his body, as for why did the imperial brother deliberately let people catch it...... Imperial sister-in-law, do you know that Zheng Lin, the son of Zheng Guogong, has returned to Beijing. ”

"What?" Xiao Xi's eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

The news that Zheng Lin was going to flee back to the capital had already spread back to the capital, and the capital was heavily guarded, how could he easily sneak in, unless......

"You brought him into Beijing."

"That's nature."

Looking at Chu Muzhi's calm and calm appearance, Xiao Xi's slightly hanging heart gradually calmed down, she relived what happened today in her mind, and the chaotic thoughts in her mind gradually became clear.

The prince was suddenly poisoned, and unfortunately he was deliberately captured and punished by the forbidden army, and Zheng Lin also returned to the capital at this time...... All these things are strung together, and then, the bureau set up by regret begins to gradually become clear.

"It seems that the imperial sister-in-law has already thought of it." Chu Muzhi said with a smile.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, calmly sat on the chair and raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, "Presumably, Zheng Lin also saw that he was taken away by the forbidden army." ”

Chu Xizhi deliberately led the prince's poisoning to himself is nothing more than to let the emperor punish him, but there is no evidence at all to prove that the prince's poisoning is related to Chu Xizhi, just because the forbidden army bumped into Chu Xizhi at the gate of the prince's mansion is not enough to convict, at most a few scolds, besides, I am afraid that the chronic poison in the prince's body is the emperor's own order, after all, the prince is imprisoned, and the emperor's people are prepared for the items, even if others want to poison, they are afraid that there is no such opportunity. But Chu Xizhi wants more than just a few words of scolding, if you want to completely convince the prince's party that the emperor has secretly chosen Chu Yanzhi to support Chu Xizhi on the surface, then he must be punished in public, so several ministers of Yan Wang's party will go to intercede for him.

"The imperial sister-in-law is really a female Zhuge , she even guessed this." Chu Muzhi looked at Xiao Xi with admiration and said, "Yes, the original imperial brother planned to take Zheng Lin to sneak into the prince's mansion quietly, but he didn't think about ......it."

"Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the forbidden army around the prince's mansion, and he suspected that the prince's poisoning was caused by him and he was brought into the palace." Xiao Xi smiled and answered for Chu Muzhi.

Chu Muzhi nodded.

Since Chu Xizhi wanted to sneak into the prince's mansion with Zheng Lin, how could he poison the prince? Therefore, there is no need to think that Zheng Lin should also know that someone took advantage of the prince's poisoning to blame Chu Xi. Of course, the premise for Zheng Lin to believe these must be that Chu Yanzhi was ruthless when he attacked the Zheng family in the northwest, and even secretly assassinated. It's just that these so-called 'killers' Xiao Xiwei believes that they are only afraid that Chu Xizhi secretly ordered people to do it, because Chu Yanzhi's position is not stable, and there are still many places where the prince's party can be used.

"Where is Zheng Lin now?" Xiao Xi said slightly.

"Sister-in-law don't worry, I have settled him down as instructed by my brother, and I will arrange for him to meet Lu Haichuan as soon as the time comes." The Way of Chumu.

"Lu Haichuan, the prince of Lu Guo?" Xiao Xi twisted his eyebrows slightly.

Isn't Lu Haichuan so sick that he is dying, otherwise, how could Lu Haiyang think that he was Chongxi as an excuse to marry Xichun in advance.

"Imperial sister-in-law, you also know that Lu Haichuan is the prince's person, but Lu Haiyang is Chu Yanzhi's person, Lu Haichuan is not dead, how can the Lu State Mansion fall into the hands of Lu Haiyang. Therefore, the imperial brother let Du Er secretly diagnose him early in the morning, and let people secretly recuperate for Lu Haichuan, and he will be able to speak within a few days. "The Way of Chumu.

"In other words, Lu Haichuan is fine." Xiao Xi stared at Chu Muzhi slightly, and his expression suddenly turned cold.

Chu Mu was stunned, "Yes, that's right...... Imperial sister-in-law, you, why do you ask that? ”

"Since you can cure Lu Haichuan, why don't you do it sooner!" Xiao Xi said slightly.

If Lu Haichuan gets better, Xichun won't have to marry Lu Haiyang.

"Imperial sister-in-law...... The poison in Lu Haichuan needs to be solved slowly, besides, the time has not come before......"

"Then have you ever thought about Xichun?"

Chu Mu was stunned, and after being stunned for a moment, he said in a low voice, "Imperial sister-in-law, Xichun has not yet reached the end of time, besides, Lu Haiyang married her to win over Xiang Mingxuan, he will not do anything to Xichun." ”

Although he knew that what Chu Muzhi said was all the truth, Xiao Xiwei still felt very uncomfortable after hearing it.

What if......

The ending of Xichun in the previous life was like a tight string in her mind all the time, and she was always afraid of hearing some bad news.

"Your Highness, it's going to be dark right now, I don't know when the emperor will punish our prince for kneeling?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ziyan hurriedly interjected.

Speaking of Chu Xizhi, Xiao Xi's eyebrows twisted unconsciously, and he raised his eyes and looked out of the house.

It's been nearly three hours now, and I don't know what happened to him?

Chu Muzhi shook his head with a bitter face, "The crown prince's sudden poisonous hair disrupted his father's steps, and ...... My father has not returned to the East Palace, presumably the situation in the East Palace is not good, I guess, the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to come back tonight......"

Xiao Xi's eyes sank slightly, "Ziyan, you immediately order someone to go to the East Palace to investigate, and come back to report to me as soon as there is news." ”

In the previous life, she remembered that the prince killed himself because of the failure of the rebellion, but now she is only afraid of this situation......

"Yes." Ziyan answered and hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and walked to the door, looked at the sky that was gradually gloomy, and suddenly said, "You say, what will happen if the prince dies?" ”

Chu Muzhi frowned and sighed softly, "Presumably the one from the Chongde Hall will be angry......

Chu Yanzhi is still in the northwest and has not returned, as soon as the prince dies, the most powerful prince in the capital is only one of the seven emperor brothers, and he doesn't need to think about it to know how angry he will be.

This night, the lights in King Yan's mansion were bright.

At that time, news finally came from the East Palace that the prince had died.
