The room was extremely quiet, and the candles and candles of the palace lamps were shaking by the couch.

After the occasional crackling sound of the wick burning, Emperor Tianqing looked unpredictable: "Do you want to say that Zhan Changdong colluded with the prince, and the matter of Cao Yun was also deliberately done by the prince who ordered Shen to go to Jiangnan?" ”

Chengguo Gong originally thought that Emperor Tianqing would be furious.

He knew too well Emperor Tianqing's jealousy of Yingji, and he knew even more that he was rebellious in his heart.

The reason why the prince has been blocked one after another over the years is that the power of the East Palace is not as strong as before, and the relationship with Emperor Tianqing has gradually become estranged, many times because the prince occasionally involves old things when he cares about the old feelings.

Whenever such a situation is encountered, Emperor Tianqing will reprimand and suppress almost no reason.

But who knew that this time it was clearly mentioned that the remnants of Yingxiao were mentioned, and although Emperor Tianqing looked gloomy, he did not see anger.

Cheng Guogong vaguely felt that something was wrong, but at this point, he could only continue:

"Your Majesty, don't you think it's strange why Shen went to Qi Zhen alone, and why did he bump into the Hu family."

"Xu Lizhen and Cui Le were both in Qizhen that day, and they were besieged by heavy troops, with the suspicion between Xu Lizhen and the Shen family, if no one helped, how could Shen send the Hu family's account books to Chengzhou, and it just happened to fall into the hands of Zhan Changdong, so that he could get a cheap advantage and get His Majesty's blue eyes after returning to Beijing Hall to judge the saint?"

"What kind of people are Zhu Ying and Guo Yueguang, how can they be so easy to be calculated, even Xu Lizhen is also obsessed with Zhan Changdong's way, if he really has such ability, how can he return to Beijing after many years in Jiangnan?"

Cheng Guogong stood up on the edge of the couch, knelt down like that regardless of his weakness, and kowtowed heavily.

"The old minister knows that His Majesty is wise, but he can't bear to have a villain to make trouble, after Yinghui plotted to rebel and died, the prince and the Shen family have always wanted to overturn the case for her, and the prince has left Yinghui old things around him and tried his best to enable Yinghui old people, and now there are more rebel remnants appearing......"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear, don't let that scheming person ruin my century-old foundation!"

Emperor Tianqing looked at Cheng Guogong calmly: "Do you know what you are talking about, it is a felony to wronged the prince for colluding with traitors!" ”

Cheng Guogong raised his head with red eyes: "The old minister knows, but the old minister is really afraid, the old minister will never forget that Yinghui had no majesty in his eyes when he was in power......

"Shut up."

"Your Majesty!" Chengguo Gong burst into tears, "The old minister just doesn't want His Majesty to be deceived by others, and he doesn't want the court Qingming that he finally got back to be occupied by the remnants of Yingyu, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check it, even if the old minister wrongs the prince, it's better than Your Majesty being fooled as a fool." ”

"You are presumptuous!"

Emperor Tianqing listened to Cheng Guogong's words one by one, full of remnants of sin, not only mentioning the past events, but even daring to speak disrespectfully and scold him, and the whole person was angry.

But before he could reprimand, Cheng Guogong fell on the couch and coughed heartbreakingly because of his emotion.

When the blood fell on the sleeves, Cheng Guogong fell directly to the bed as if he had lost his strength, and hit the wooden steps with a "bang", which made Emperor Tianqing's face dyed with murderous intent frightened.

Seeing that Cheng Guogong's head was bleeding, Emperor Tianqing's chest continued to rise and fall, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could only let Feng Yuan pick him up.

"Tell the Imperial Doctor to get in!"

Cheng Guogong's "death admonition" can not be described as ruthless, if he is in good health, just committing one crime is enough to kill his head.

At this time, he was dying, his face was pale, and he looked like he would die at any time in his last years.

After Emperor Tianqing was angry, Cheng Guogong's words were still like poison soaking into his heart little by little, and he was restless.

When the imperial physician said that Cheng Guogong had fainted again, and if he couldn't slow down this time, he was afraid that it would hurt his life, Emperor Tianqing's anger towards him eased up, and Cheng Guogong's hoarse words echoed in his ears over and over again.

Feng Yuan looked at Emperor Tianqing's uncertain expression under the candlelight, and knew that the play of Cheng Guogong had been completed.

Sure enough, Emperor Tianqing spoke after a moment: "Feng Yuan." ”

"The minions are here."

"Go and pass the prince over." After a pause, he changed his words, "Forget it, follow me to the East Palace." ”

After Emperor Tianqing explained that the imperial physician took care of Chengguo Gong, he led Feng Yuan out of the gate of the side hall, and saw the three princes and the four princes guarding outside.

The wound on the head of the fourth prince has been bandaged, but his face is still not good, but Wu Jinliang always feels that something is wrong today, and just now he vaguely heard Emperor Tianqing and Cheng Guogong mention the word "prince", so he didn't dare to leave and stay.

When he saw Emperor Tianqing come out and take people straight to the East Palace, he even asked Feng Yuan to bring the guards and Jinlin Guards.

Wu Jinliang's face changed greatly, but the third prince showed a little joy.

Only the four princes have not figured out what is going on until now, and their faces are full of confusion.

……

The place where the prince lives is called Deying Palace, the front is the Taiji Palace, and there is a covered bridge lake to connect the east side of the palace.

When Feng Yuan asked people to surround the East Palace and take down the prince's left and right guards, he didn't alarm anyone in the Deying Palace, and Emperor Tianqing entered the palace gate directly without letting people pass it on, and when he stood outside, he could still hear the prince discussing with others.

Outside the door, the subordinates of the East Palace knelt on the ground, and Jin Linwei covered their mouths.

Emperor Tianqing did not allow anyone to make a sound, but only stood quietly in front of the door and listened.

The prince sat on the futon, and the food was untouched at the low table in front of him, and he did not know what he was writing, and was a little absent-minded as he held the pen:

"My father recruited Lord Wu into the palace, and I don't know what happened to the Criminal Department, the incident happened suddenly, if my father blames Lord Wu, it will be troublesome......"

Shen sat cross-legged, there was a thick stack of booklets on the table, and he said while flipping through it: "A discerning person can know at a glance that someone wants to kill people with a knife and frame the Chengguo Mansion, Lord Wu and those servants of the Criminal Department have suffered unjustified disasters, Your Majesty has always been wise, and will never be deceived by this kind of little trick." ”

"But......" the prince put down his pen and sighed, "I am afraid that my father will be angry with me because Lord Wu is too close to me." ”

There is some shadow under him, and he looks worried,

"Since my aunt's rebellion came out, no matter what I do, my father thinks that I have a rebellious heart, and even you are involved in me, and I always feel that only by giving up the position of the crown prince can my father treat me as before, and I believe that I have never had a disobedient heart."

"Your Highness, don't say that."

Shen couldn't help but persuade when he saw the prince's depressed face, "Your Majesty and you just have some misunderstandings, and there are often people in the court who take advantage of Princess Yongzhao's affairs to provoke, you have never had the heart to exceed the rules, Your Majesty will know sooner or later, but it has been seven years, and recently I don't know why someone suddenly revived the old things." ”

"Your Royal Highness knows about the Hengyun Pavilion ring last night, and someone actually took the old things of the princess's mansion as the first reward, but the one who won the first place is actually the nephew of the newly appointed Lord Zhang's family in the household department."
