"Rongxing Pavilion, I saw King Qin and Lord Xu of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court entering Rongxing Pavilion strangely in Rongxing Pavilion, I personally heard King Qin say that he would assassinate Princess Yan on Chinese New Year's Eve, and also said that this was acquiesced by the emperor." Zhu Rubai, who gradually calmed down, said hurriedly.

At the moment, it is impossible for him to clear up this matter, but if he can pull King Qin into the water, then, at this point, the crown prince may be able to protect him.

"Huh!" Chu Muzhi laughed, and looked at Zhu Rubai with a slight sneer, "The prince is really good enough to make it up in order to drag this king into the water?" Assassination of Princess Yan? Why don't you say that this king assassinated the crown prince? ”

"This ...... This ......"

Just when Zhu Rubai was powerless to refute, suddenly, a clear voice sounded.

"Why can't it be."

Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned around. I saw Princess Yan Xiao Xi holding her injured right arm and slowly standing up from the chair.

Chu Muzhi's face sank suddenly, and a trace of coldness crossed his eyes staring at Xiao Xiwei.

But Xiao Xiwei didn't seem to see it, she walked to the center of the hall step by step, and finally stopped at the side of the crown prince Chu Yanzhi to form an opposition to Chu Muzhi.

Her move not only made others look sideways, but even Chu Yanzhi didn't expect that she would jump out to speak for him at this time. He couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes were a little emotional when he looked at Xiao Xiwei.

"I've known His Highness for so long, but I never knew that His Highness was a good chess player, such a big game of chess, I'm afraid it would cost His Highness a lot of effort." Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Muzhi and smiled coldly.

"Imperial sister-in-law, Ye'er has already explained it to you, and it is even quiet...... Imperial sister-in-law, have you been bewitched by someone? Don't forget, you're Princess Yan! My seventh brother, he is still alive now! Chu Muzhi's words were extremely heavy, and he only directly picked out Xiao Xi's slightly watery flowers.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes quietly moved to Xiao Xiwei, but in addition, some people secretly looked at Yan Guifei, the biological mother of King Yan, who had a messy bun next to the throne but was still calm and calm, but Yan Guifei, who had always loved Princess Yan, did not have a trace of expression under her snow-white and arrogant face after hearing this.

Also, what mother-in-law can tolerate her daughter-in-law looking for another branch when her husband's bones are still cold. King Qin's words were only afraid that they had reached Yan Guifei's heart. After all, even the emperor seems to have acquiesced to this, and as a concubine, she naturally can't mention it again. Right now, King Qin has finally breathed a bad breath for her.

"You think you can prevaricate with just a few words......"

"Shut up!" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

Xiao Xi's face turned pale slightly, and he looked up, only to see Yan Guifei raising her eyebrows, and the phoenix hairpin on her head kept shaking in her ears, and a cold light crossed from time to time.

"Mother, mother...... Why do you ......" Xiao Xi looked a little incredulous.

"Why didn't I believe your nonsense!" Yan Guifei stared at Xiao Xiwei condescendingly, and a cold smile overflowed from the corner of her lips.

Xiao Xiwei's expression turned cold little by little, "So, you didn't believe me at all." ”

"Do you think you're worthy of Hongu's trust?" Yan Guifei smiled coldly, and then a trace of grief crossed her eyes, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiao Xiwei, and her voice sounded sharply again, "If you really want this palace to believe you, then it's ......" Yan Guifei said, suddenly walked a few steps quickly, pulled out the saber from the imperial forest army next to him, raised his hand and threw it at Xiao Xiwei's feet, and then raised his eyebrows, and stared at her like sharp ice edges.

Looking at the shining blade on the ground, Xiao Xiwei's eyes fell silent little by little.

And at this moment, Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei's dead eyes, his heart twitched violently, and he stepped forward and stopped in front of Xiao Xiwei, "Is the noble concubine Niangniang preparing to force Xiwei to death in front of her father?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Yan Guifeisen's cold and cruel eyes swept over, but in an instant, the coldness in her eyes disappeared, instead, the corners of her mouth hooked up a gentle smile, "The prince didn't say that the palace forgot, I heard that the prince of Ping'an Boshi is very close to you, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Sure enough, it finally came.

Up to now, he was already convinced that one of the people who assassinated this bureau in Bu Zichendian today must be Yan Guifei.

Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi couldn't help but smile, "This, I originally wanted to ask the concubine Niangniang." First Gu An, then Chang Lu, and then Ping'an Bo Shizi, every step of the calculation is so accurate, and the spearhead is directed at the palace, the palace feels strange? Who wants to impose such a crime as rebellion and murder on the head of this palace? However, now that I think about it, it is somewhat clear. ”

What does the prince mean by that? Why can't Hongu understand something? Yan Guifei looked at Chu Yanzhi with a smile, her eyes were as gentle and clear as ever, but there was a faint trace of coldness in the depths of her eyes.

"Everyone here is afraid that no one knows better than the noble concubine, oh, by the way, there is still a person in this palace......" Chu Yanzhi said, pursed his lips and smiled, his narrow eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at Chu Muzhi, "Eighth Emperor Brother, aren't you going to explain?" ”

Chu Muzhi frowned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Chu Yan's words, he said, "Forgive the younger brother for being stupid, the younger brother doesn't know what the prince asked the younger brother to explain?" ”

"This palace thinks that pretending to be injured doesn't seem to be what a smart person like the eighth brother should do." The corners of Chu Yan's lips were still smiling, but there was a faint surge of yin owl in his dark eyes.

Chu Muzhi smiled lightly, and even blinked his eyes, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shouldn't think that it was my younger brother who set up a plot to lure the prince of Ping'an to come up with the assassination of Zichen Palace, right?" ”

Chu Yanzhi's rich sword eyebrows were raised, and the smile on the corner of his lips became deeper and deeper, "Isn't it?" ”

"Prince, you have really wronged your brother, and this matter really has nothing to do with your brother." Chu Muzhi said, suddenly as if he remembered something, he turned his face to look at Zhu Rubai, and said, "Shizi, you said that you saw me and Lord Xu in Rongxing Pavilion?" I would like to ask the prince, when and what time was it? ”

Seeing that the crown prince interjected and pointed the finger at King Qin, Zhu Rubai also lifted his spirits, and hurriedly followed Chu Muzhi's words and said, "It's twenty-seven, and it should be unitary at that time." ”

"Twenty-seven, Youshi......" Chu Muzhi smiled, he reached out and touched the tip of his nose, "Shizi, are you really sure that it is the Youshi on the twenty-seventh?" ”

Zhu Rubai glanced at the smile on the corner of Chu Muzhi's mouth, and suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, he lowered his head and calculated the day again, and then said loudly, "That's right, it's the unitary hour on the twenty-seventh!" ”

Hearing Zhu Rubai's words, Chu Mu smiled.

Seeing Chu Muzhi's expression at this time, Chu Yanzhi's eyebrows unconsciously picked, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

If he is Chu Muzhi, since he wants to set up this bureau to trap him, then, how can he leave such an obvious handle?

Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart.

He should have held his breath and remained silent.

Sometimes being at a disadvantage is the best advantage.

"Father, at the beginning of the 27th Shen Shi, the sons and daughters went into the palace to visit Yan's mother, and when they were about to have dinner, the father also sent Zhang Gonggong to give the mother two dishes, and the mother concubine left the sons and daughters to eat, which can be testified by Zhang Gonggong." Chu Muzhi raised his hand and said while saluting the emperor.

As soon as he heard Chu Muzhi mention him, Zhang Shichang hurriedly turned around and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, when the old slave went to give food, he did see His Royal Highness King Qin talking to the noble concubine Niangniang in Yikun Palace. ”

The emperor's face crossed Chu Muzhi's face, and then from Chu Yanzhi's face, and finally, his gaze turned around, and it actually fell on the face of Yan Guifei, who was not shocked and calm next to him, although her appearance was chaotic, but she was still not shocked.

Chu Muzhi didn't lie, because when Zhang Shichang came back to reply to the decree, he did mention that King Qin was dining in Yikun Palace, but when he listened to it layer by layer, after the initial anger, his mind had gradually cleared up.

Indeed, in this assassination, there is no doubt that the most suspicious is the crown prince Chu Yanzhi, because his motive is the greatest, and after his death, he is also the most advantageous, but is this really the truth? If it weren't really for the crown prince who planned all this, then he was already lying on the ground with a dead body...... Moreover, in the assassination just now, those assassins were all extraordinary, but except for An Concubine, they only killed a few dancing girls, and the others were just a little frightened, and as soon as the forbidden army entered, they retreated in an orderly manner, and the living mouth left behind involved Chang Lu and Ping An Bo Shizi...... They must all be the prince's men! Whether it was Zhu Rubai's words that he heard by chance, or the idea of the nowhere strategist, or the assassination of Zichen Palace, all of this was simply an interlocking game, and every step was directed at the prince...... Even he, who has been scheming all his life, has to be subdued by the emperor......

Facing the emperor's shocked and suspicious gaze, a small smile bloomed at the corner of Yan Guifei's lips, and the tips of her delicate eyebrows were gently raised, with an undisguised provocation.

That's right.

She is the one who sets up this bureau.

But so what? Even if you knew? Do you want to defend your most beloved son? Once he defends him, then, she, Mu Zhi, and Concubine Shen, the only chess pieces that Da Yue can hold him will all be destroyed......

Chu Lian, do you dare?

Do you dare to defend him?

Looking at Yan Guifei's face, which is still delicate and perfect despite the years, this face is obviously so familiar, but why does he suddenly feel a little strange and blurry? It's like...... It's as if he never knew this woman......

Just when the emperor was full of complexity, someone suddenly cleared his throat, and then, he saw Shen Guifei slowly walking to Yan Guifei with her feet and standing side by side with her.

These two women with the highest position in the harem now, women who once fought to the death, are now standing together silently, hand in hand against the man in front of them who once dominated everything.

The emperor's hand on the imperial chair tightened suddenly, and the shock in his eyes could not be hidden.

In this assassination, could it be that Concubine Shen was also involved?

After all, how many things did he not know!

What else are they planning behind his back?

The Emperor's gaze swept coldly over the two of them, and his chest was burned with a faint pain of anger, but along with this pain, there was a sense of powerlessness that even he couldn't resist......
