Xue Zhen was not afraid, he only bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister has been busy with military affairs recently, and he doesn't know these things. ”

Emperor Jianlong still looked at him with a calm face.

There was a suffocating silence in the imperial study, and the palace people were silent, even the living room outside was holding their breath.

Only Xue Zhen was not afraid of panic, and still stood in place, waiting for the emperor to show him.

Emperor Jianlong kept staring at him and felt that Xue Zhen really had no ghost in his heart, so he snorted, still dissatisfied: "The envoy of the Chen State did such a provocative thing, do you have a countermeasure?" ”

Xue Zhen said calmly: "Your Majesty, why bother for this? ”

"What?"

"Chen showed people with small skills, and provoked with words," Xue Zhen said indifferently, "If Chen Guo only has this ability, it will be a great benefit to my Dazhao." ”

Xue Zhen's words touched Emperor Jianlong's heart, and the dragon's heart was suddenly happy.

Since the last king of the previous dynasty was extravagant, brutal and evil deeds were unconscious, and the world raised troops to fight for it so far, the war has been chaotic for nearly a hundred years, and only the three kingdoms of Zhao and Chen and Zheng are left in the world.

At the end of such a contentious world, who doesn't want to win the Central Plains and dominate the world?

Emperor Jianlong is quite ambitious, although in recent years he has disliked the queen and looked at the prince unpleasantly, but he is not absurd in court and politics, because he hopes to become the only male lord who unifies the world.

He has such a grand ambition, he naturally knows people well, and only does what he does.

"But Zhong Jing," Emperor Jianlong called his words, and his tone softened, "I don't want to see the Chen Dynasty people so proud. ”

When Xue Zhen heard this, he leaned over and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has already made arrangements." ”

When Emperor Long Jian heard that he was sure of what he said, he already had a guess, so he really smiled and became happy, and even chatted with Xue Zhen about some common words.

When Xue Zhen left the imperial study, he only felt that the sweat on his body had wet his middle clothes.

The warm breeze blew and made him feel a little more comfortable.

He exhaled slightly, did not let anyone see his abnormality, and did not return to the barracks, but returned home.

Chang Bong followed him into the study to serve.

Xue Zhen didn't need him to change his clothes, but asked while changing his court clothes: "Over there, what's going on?" ”

"Over there" refers to the Karakura Pavilion, but for Xue Zhen, these three words are hot and stomach-burning, and they can't be said easily.

"Yes." Changbong immediately took out a stack of papers from a box and read it.

From the day Li Jiaoer returned to her parents' house, when did she arrive at Renxin Hall and Karakuri Pavilion, how long did she stay, and what did she do.

No matter how big or small, Chang Feng read it for a quarter of an hour, and Xue Zhen watched it for almost a quarter of an hour before he finished reading it.

After changing into Yuebai's regular clothes, Xue Zhen's complexion did not change, and he only instructed Changfeng to bring the brazier and burn all the notes.

If there is no prince, there is no prince in it.

He had told the prince early in the morning that he didn't need to do anything about it.

Those people, Chen Guodu jumped in front of him, he didn't see them doing anything good, but he only thought about how to pull down the prince through this.

Watching the flames beating, Xue Zhen scolded those small children, and somehow, he remembered Li Jiao'er.

Her face was very vague in his heart, and for three years, he rarely and deliberately did not look at her.

But he also felt that the woman with a blurred face did not look like a person who could show off.

The few times I saw her, she always seemed to be smiling, gentle and timid, probably afraid of her.

Nothing that is ruined, threatening and seducing, is not like her.

But this time, she did something that threatened herself, firm, but not afraid to be so decisive.

She can still care about that Mrs. Chen and the face of her "eldest son".

Even Xue Zhen couldn't tell whether he had the intention to force her to that point, or whether she should have had such a clear grudge in the first place.

It seems that there is another little girl's small round hand, putting a piece of dragon beard candy into his mouth.

"Sweet, for you to eat."

But as soon as the thought turned, Xue Zhen felt that the bloody sweetness instantly filled his mouth, and his stomach shrank together.

He just wants to vomit.

But today, in the court, he used to eat only half a piece of dim sum, and just now he drank half a cup of tea, and he couldn't vomit anything if he wanted to.

Xue Zhen hurriedly put aside Li Jiao'er and only asked Changfeng: "How many days has Mrs. Chen been?" ”

"She stayed quietly in the courtyard, and didn't want to go out, she always asked when the prince would come back, and asked the old marquis about the day before yesterday." Chang Feng Dao.

"Grandfather?" Xue Zhen's attention was diverted for a moment, and the feeling of nausea was better, and he glanced at Chang Feng, "Grandfather, is there something wrong?" ”

"Don't worry, the old marquis is in the hall, safe." Chang Bong said busily.

Xue Zhen was a little relieved, and watched the notes in the brazier all burned to ashes again, before pouring half of the tea in his hand, extinguishing the flames, and standing up.

Chang Feng followed and asked, "The son of the world wants to ...... Get out? ”

What he wanted to ask was whether Shizi was going to see Mrs. Chen?

But he always felt that the prince's attitude towards Mrs. Chen was very strange, he didn't say anything coldly, and he never saw him offer to see the infant child.

That's the only flesh and blood in the world.

Xue Zhen said as he walked: "Arrange more people and go to the Karakuri Pavilion...... Don't startle the snake. ”

The three words of Karakuri Pavilion took him a long time before he spoke.

Sure enough, these three words that could arouse his disgusting nausea as long as they appeared in his mind were forced to say at this time, which made his stomach turn even more, the smell of blood was in his throat, and his nasal cavity was filled with the smell of burnt human flesh.

Xue Zhen paused at the door, and it was easy to endure it, and he didn't retch on the spot.

Changbong thought he had heard something.

Why are you going to Karakuri Pavilion again? Isn't there someone watching over there?

Besides, he is the prince of Anyang, how can he not startle the snake?

After all, Xue Zhen's face is in the capital, even if he doesn't know him, he will want to look at it twice.

And more people need to be arranged......

How do you arrange this so as not to startle the snake?

However, since that incident, the temper of the prince has become more and more eccentric, so Chang Feng did not dare to say more, so he could only give up: "Yes." ”

In the evening, when Li Jiaoer left the Timing Pavilion, she went home with the clouds as before.

The Karakura Pavilion and the Renxin Hall are each located on two adjacent streets, both of which are extremely long and prosperous, and there are many small roads connecting the two streets.

Every time Li Jiaoer came home from the Karakuri Pavilion, she would copy the nearest alley.

The alley is the side courtyard wall of several houses, the alley is lively at both ends, and the middle is less crowded and quiet, only a horse-drawn carriage can pass, but it is also a bluestone road, not difficult to walk.

Li Jiaoer and Yuntuan have been used to walking since childhood, and they are also familiar with the people on both sides of the alley, so they are not afraid.

"Miss, that treasure in the palm of your hand is really good-looking." The clouds whispered praise.

"Yes, now that a set of brackets can be used five times, it should be better than them." Li Jiaoer was also a little proud.

The master and servant talked as they walked, but unexpectedly, not long after they turned into the alley, four ruffians suddenly sprang out from front and behind them, blocking them in the middle of the alley......
