Lord Yin is mood of going to the East Palace, which is no different from going to the grave, especially when this is still digging a pit and erecting a monument for himself.

But the arrow is on the string, and he can't help it, with a crying and laughing face, Lord Fu Yin came to visit him, but what he didn't expect was that the people in the East Palace were unusually easy to talk to.

Regarding the humiliating matter of coming to the door to interrogate, no one in the East Palace, from the attendants to the internal officials, spoke ill of Lord Yin, but this did not make him much easier, but became more nervous.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, and sure enough, after finally meeting Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the other party couldn't fix him in the first sentence.

"Your Royal Highness, you say? Well, His Highness is indeed alive. "The crown princess's words made Lord Fu Yin's head a little insufficient.

Before coming to the East Palace, he expected that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess might deny it, might be furious, and might use his power to force himself to immediately dispose of Shangguan Shaoqin, who reported the case, but he didn't think that the other party would admit it calmly.

It must be known that the law of this dynasty is punished for not reporting the same crime, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive, but she still conceals this matter from the court and His Majesty the Emperor, which is a great crime of bullying the king. Wait! Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor really doesn't know?

A conjecture appeared in his mind, which made Fu Yin's heart skip a beat directly, from yesterday's incident to today's visit to the East Palace, one day and one night, even if the people in the insider factory and the east factory are all snails, then His Majesty the Emperor in the Zixiao Palace should also know about it.

But why, until now, there has still been no edict in the palace, let alone a decree, that is, there is not even a word of edict, as if His Majesty does not know about this at all.

Lord Fu Yin's legs began to tremble, it was impossible for the emperor not to know about this matter, but since the other party knew, he didn't have any reaction, could it be that he meant to support the East Palace?

In fact, more than one person has speculated about what His Majesty the Emperor means by being silent at the moment, except for Lu Hanjiang and the others who know that the other party is because they don't have time to pay attention to these idle things, the rest of them all have the same conjecture as Lord Fu Yin.

This is very terrifying, if the emperor supports the East Palace, can it be considered that since the assassination of the crown prince, His Majesty has never set up a new prince, not because he is worried about the recurrence of the tragedy, but has always reserved a seat for others?

Indeed, if the crown prince is still alive, he is both a concubine and the eldest son, and he has an innate absolute advantage in inheriting the throne, but he has one place that cannot be said, and that is the twenty years of his disappearance.

Logically, the courtiers may understand that the prince faked his death because he was assassinated and wanted to protect himself, but logically, the courtiers simply could not accept a sneaky prince who had been hiding for twenty years.

For a while, the recognition of the East Palace, the silence of the emperor, and the silence of the hundred officials made the turbulence in the capital even more turbulent, and under this coming storm, the case of the Shangguan family was not so important.

The case of the Shangguan family has already had a preliminary result, Shangguan's wife Le Zhili will definitely be unable to escape death if she surrenders and pleads guilty, although Shangguan Shaoqin has negligence, it is understandable, for the sake of Luo Fuzi and the academy, when the Donggong case is over, he will be able to let him go.

Only Shangguan Shaoqin's son, Shangguan Beicang's handling was a little ambiguous, and he did not explicitly want to be beheaded like Shangguan's wife, nor did he plan to release it like Shangguan Shaoqin.

This vague attitude made Shangguan Shaoqin's heart suddenly feel a little bottomless, and the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger when he thought of coming to visit his senior brother Qi Yunzhou in the cell today.

But at this time, the focus of everyone's attention is still on the East Palace, whether the emperor supports it or not, raising private soldiers is a taboo matter.

Even if the ultimate victim is His Majesty the Emperor himself, for the imperial court, such an army that is free from the imperial court system is also a great threat.

Therefore, even if the crime of bullying the king in the East Palace can be avoided, this private army is absolutely intolerable to the courtiers.

The crown princess admitted the fact that the prince was still alive, and also did not deny Shangguan Shaoqin's accusation against the East Palace, and those account books confiscated from the Shangguan family had clearly pointed out the location of the prince for the imperial court-

Northland, Xuantian Sect.

According to common sense, no matter what the prince planned, now that the people in the shadows have been turned to the light, everyone comes according to the rules, and it is time to send someone to "invite" His Royal Highness the prince back to the palace.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor needs a nod for this matter, after all, the size of the Xuantian Sect is there, and according to the information given by Jinyiwei, there are no less than 30,000 Xuantian Sect disciples gathered in the northern land alone.

Counting the other party's manpower in the states of the world, the total number of Xuantian Sect may be 50,000 or more, which is no longer something that can be easily handled by sending one or two batches of Jinyi Guards, I am afraid that I will have to ask the White Armor Army in the hands of General Helian stationed in the northern land.

After all, in everyone's imagination, the prince has worked hard to gather such a huge force, and it is impossible to obediently return to Beijing with them because of a sentence or two.

However, the courtiers waited left and right, but they never waited for His Majesty to issue a decree to recall the crown prince, but waited for the news that the year-end ceremony was held as usual.

For a while, even the cabinet members couldn't figure it out, the sacrifice was to sacrifice to the ancestors, in order to pray for good weather next year, but if you don't deal with this big trouble caused by the East Palace, then the world will be in chaos.

However, the emperor was still stubborn, and it was not that he didn't care about the actions of the crown prince and the East Palace at all, in fact, as early as when the news reached Zixiao Palace, the emperor was furious.

Whether the prince is alive or not, the old emperor doesn't care at all, he didn't care much about this son, but now that he has the grandson as a replacement, this son has no interest and wants to be the king and dominate the rivers and lakes, so let him go, out of sight and out of mind.

The reason why His Majesty the Emperor was angry was because of Jin Yiwei, or because of Meng Yuan's concealment from him!

His Majesty the Emperor has a sufficient and correct understanding of Jinyiwei's ability, even if Shangguan Shaoqin really has a ghost plan to plan everything seamlessly, but Xuantian Sect is such a big thing in the north, he doesn't believe that Jinyiwei has not found any clues.

Even if there is no evidence, even if there are some conjectures, even if there is more infiltration of such a huge force as the Xuantian Sect, Jin Yiwei will definitely be able to find out that something is wrong.

But Meng Yuan didn't say anything to His Majesty the Emperor, at this moment, it was meaningless for him to know in advance that the Prince of the East Palace was hiding in the Xuantian Sect, the emperor's trust in him had already cracked, and the relationship between the two of them, who were friends of the monarch and ministers, was finally defeated by time.

The old emperor's face was intertwined with grief and anger, and his changing face was like a cloudy and uncertain sky, Cao Yuan waited by the side in fear, and after a long time, he finally spoke cautiously: "Do you want the slave to go and bring him?" ”

"Are you okay?" The emperor swept Cao Yuan with cold eyes, the latter knelt down in shame and kowtowed no more, and after a while, only heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "Tomorrow is the year-end sacrifice, you personally go to pass the order, tomorrow after the princes enter the palace, let Wen Kongheng guard the outer gate of the imperial city, Tao Yuanlang guard the inner door, before the end of the ceremony, no one is allowed to enter and leave the palace." ”

"Slave obeys!"
