As if suddenly realizing that he had just said the wrong thing because he was too fast, Gong Yuyan hurriedly covered his delicate red lips the next moment, and a pair of big eyes with rippling waves were full of innocence.

"What did you say?" Xu Di suddenly stopped his movements, squinted his eyes and stared at the somewhat panicked woman in front of him.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Gong Yuyan said and slipped into the emperor's arms, his eyes dodging, as if what he said just now was just an unintentional mistake.

"It's not that I haven't heard, you mean...... Did the general kill the county lord?" The lust in Xu Di's eyes gradually extinguished, and was replaced by a touch of coldness.

As far as the emperor is concerned, although he is addicted to wine and is mediocre, he is as suspicious as his own brother Xu Yi, how could he turn a blind eye to such a big and shocking news.

"Yan'er didn't say it, Your Majesty, you heard it wrong. Gong Yuyan hid in the emperor's arms, but was gently lifted by Xu Di's short fat hand.

"Well, where did you hear this? Xu Di was patiently guiding Gong Yuyan step by step to tell the truth.

Seeing that Gong Yuyan was still silent, Xu Di assured again: "Yan'er, I will never punish you." ”

"I ...... I listened to the eunuchs and maids in the palace. Gong Yuyan bit his lip, making his lip a little red, "Your Majesty should know that although the concubines of the harem seem to live in the harem, they have great skills to inquire about news." ”

The beauty snorted softly and replied, deliberately turning her head away from looking at the emperor, looking like a jealous little resentful woman, but she looked unexpectedly moving.

She was born as a dancing queen, and according to the law of Xiyue country, she is not allowed to enter the palace as a concubine, and can only live in the palace as a dancing queen, otherwise with the emperor's current favor for her, I am afraid that all the women in the harem are not as good as her.

"I know this, the harem women are talkative, and it is inevitable that some words cannot be fully believed as false. Although Xu Di said this, he had already begun to hesitate in his heart. As early as the marriage between General Shentu and the Yi Palace, a minister quietly reminded him to be careful of the two of them being too powerful and threatening the imperial power, but he never took it to heart.

Gong Yuyan rested his head on Xu Di's shoulder again, raised his eyes and carefully observed each of his tiny expressions, seeing the thoughtful expression on his face, and a pair of eyes that were no longer staring at her obscenely, Gong Yuyan knew that this sentence had affected him.

According to the past, if she was so jealous, Xu Di would inevitably take coaxing her first as the most important thing, but now he completely ignored her unhappy emotions, and said a thing on his lips, I am afraid that he has already listened to this sentence in his heart.

With a smile of deep meaning and calculation, he hung on Gong Yuyan's beautiful face, her charming eyebrows and eyes were the same, and she moved her head to Emperor Xu Di's arms and snuggled quietly, the progress of things no longer needed her to say more, only time to ferment.

As expected, the emperor soon found a reason for Gong Yuyan to retire and rest, and he called his subordinates and ministers who had always been loyal to him.

"Have you heard a rumor recently?" Xu Di asked with a rare serious look, since Gong Yuyan entered the palace, the ministers had not seen such a serious expression of the emperor for a long time.

As soon as Xu Di's voice fell, some people's faces were indifferent and didn't know what to do, but some people couldn't help but show a hint of panic.

"Looks like someone heard about it. Xu Di said in a deep voice, "There is news that the death of the second county lord of the Yi Wangfu is not an accident, but the work of General Shentu, and now that the two families are about to get married, I don't want to see any unnecessary misunderstandings and suspicions between the general and the prince, so I ...... The matter must be investigated thoroughly. ”

Although he knew the forces of Xiyue Kingdom under the control of Shen Tucang and Xu Yi, he never took it to heart, and he never thought that someone would have the crooked mind to move his throne.

But if Shen Tucang kills the county lord, Xu Yi can not care about the revenge of killing the woman, and the two families can still marry casually, what can it be if there is not a huge cooperation of interests behind it?

Gong Yuyan's simple words reminded him that if this matter was serious, he would definitely find a way to prevent the marriage between the two families.

As soon as the people gathered by the emperor to the main hall dispersed, they all followed Xu Di's instructions to investigate this rumor that came from nowhere, so some of them walked into the Yi Wang's Mansion openly, and a few walked in the direction of the General's Mansion.

Most of these people are no longer Xu Di's loyal ministers, but have been secretly bought by Prince Yi for many years, and what the emperor thought he said to them confidentially, the order had been transmitted to King Yi's Mansion within a quarter of an hour, and the General's Mansion only received the news a little later than King Yi's Mansion.

"Chief, this ...... "Shentu Cangchu was very happy when he got the news, he was going to report this matter to the emperor when he entered the palace today, but he didn't expect that not long after he came back, the emperor knew as he wished.

However, he soon realized that the effect of talking to the emperor in person and listening to others was completely different.

went to report in person that it was a confession, and others said that they listened to the emperor, but the first seed of doubt was planted in the emperor's heart, although he did not really kill Xu Junxiao, but once some rumors spread too much, everyone would think that it was true.

"General, don't worry, let's wait and see how Prince Yi reacts. The steward said with a solemn expression.

Yi Wang's Mansion.

Xu Yi stood silently by the window, his face was full of gloom, everything seemed to be developing beyond his expectations, from Xu Junxiao's death, to the situation that was now a little uncontrollable, how could he always feel that all this development was not accidental, but deliberately arranged by someone.

Looking back, everything that happened to him was so cleverly interlocked, as if it had been carefully arranged, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not jump out of this arrangement, because he had always solved this one thing yet, and the next thing would suddenly jump out again.

At this moment, for the first time, he had the feeling of being used as a pawn, and this feeling suddenly appeared, and he couldn't tell the reason.

But from the fire in the backyard of the palace, Xu Junxiao being burned to death, Shen Tucang returning to the imperial city, and the news that suddenly came out of nowhere, he had a sense of powerlessness, all of which seemed normal and logical, it seemed that it was just because of the traitor, but when he looked closely, there was a creepy feeling.

The official Shangshu had already thoroughly investigated all the people who knew his plan, but there was still no clue about the traitor, and he even began to wonder if the traitor existed......
