Xue Zhen met Meng Jing's gaze, put his elbow on the armrest of the circle, lightly supported his forehead, and said indifferently:

"This kind of thing, why would Xue lie to the adult?"

Meng Jingzhen didn't think it was necessary for Xue Zhen to lie, but he didn't understand what he meant.

He looked at Xue Zhen with uncertain strangeness and suspicion, and said suspiciously:

"What is the Son's intention?"

Xue Zhen smiled, the indifference of the young man's high position was a sense of oppression in itself.

"Since I came to see Lord Meng safe and sound, what am I going to do, do you still not understand?"

Meng Jingxin was silent for a moment, and his voice became cold again:

"Shizi, the last general has been locked up here for these days, and he is already physically and mentally exhausted, so the Shizi still doesn't want to play dumb riddles, it's better to have something to say."

"Lord Meng is really a loud person," Xue Zhen nodded slightly in approval, "In that case, this son of the world will tell the truth, I will use Lord Meng's life to buy Lord Meng to shut up."

Meng Jing's eyes sharpened:

"The prince still wants to kill Meng?"

"Naturally not," Xue Zhen shook his head, "I bought Lord Meng and returned to Beijing, and Lord Chu from the Prince's Mansion came to find out about the general."

Meng Jing was stunned, and then laughed and said, "The prince is actually such an idea? Oh, if Meng doesn't agree, can the prince still kill Meng?"

"I can," Xue Zhen changed his posture a little tiredly, continued to look at him, and said calmly, "Not only will I kill Lord Meng, but I will also kill the four people who came to Anhua County to announce the decree and take Lord Meng back to Beijing."

Meng Jingxin didn't expect him to say it so bluntly, and blurted out: "You dare?!"

Xue Zhen was amused by him: "Why don't you dare? Master Meng doesn't know yet, right? Some time ago, Chen and Zheng jointly disturbed the border, but they were defeated and withdrew their troops in a few days. Lord Meng is also a person in the army, do you think the 250,000 army will be defeated so quickly?"

"......" Meng Jingxin was silent.

"The so-called Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang, among the 250,000 troops, a considerable part of them have feigned defeat, and some have been broken into pieces and quietly infiltrated my Zhao and lurked," Xue Zhen looked at Meng Jingxin and said slowly, "Lord Meng, I have always hated the people of Chen and Zheng, and I am very stingy and stingy, but I like to take advantage of them. For example, when I went to the imperial court, I said that a few foreign rats disguised themselves as mountain bandits and blocked the road to intercept and kill the angels sent by the imperial court to the northern frontier, isn't it very logical?"

Xue Zhen said about the conspiracy, but his expression remained unchanged, and his tone was friendly and steady, as if he was talking about the ordinary things of eating and drinking.

Meng Jingxin's face turned pale.

He didn't doubt that Xue Zhen would dare to do what he dared to say, after all, the young prince general in front of him was gentle and kind, but the court officials planted in his hands were not many.

"Xue Zhen, you were ordered to guard the border, and you dared to communicate with foreign countries!" He reprimanded.

"Lord Meng is laughing again," Xue Zhen lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "In doing this, with the lives of the five adults, in exchange for the imperial court to pay more attention to the defense of the northern frontier, how can it be regarded as a foreign country?"

「…… Isn't the prince afraid that I will agree now, and then turn my face ruthlessly after returning to Beijing?" Meng Jingxin gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't be afraid," Xue Zhen was still calm, "Mr. Hengzhu Chu can't return to the capital, Lord Meng has broken his promise, and this son can let Lord Meng fall into this mystery and bury your family's life."

Xue Zhen was really tired, but he still held on to his spirits, and finally said, "Master Meng, whether to shut up and live as a family, or to risk the lives of others for the sake of a momentary mood, or even to lose the family, please think twice."

With that, he sat down in his chair and closed his eyes contentedly.

Meng Jing glared at Xue Zhen heartily, at first he just wanted to spill his blood, but as time passed, it gradually cooled down.

Xue Zhen can do this, but it is just to protect the prince, which means that the prince is fine.

And His Majesty is fine, the prince is fine, and Xue Zhen is fine, which can only show that the Jingzhong Heavenly Family really has a deep relationship between father and son.

Then why did he give his life in vain?

"Meng who figured it out

Jing Zhen, Se Li said inwardly:

"Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion died in the northern frontier, heh, the prince really thinks that he can be thoughtful?"

"Whether it can be considered or not, it is up to me; Shut up or not, it's up to you." Xue Zhen opened his eyes, frowned and got up, smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and said, "But Lord Meng, you have too many words. I'm so tired and impatient."

Then, turn around and leave.

Meng Jingxin looked at his figure, and after a battle between heaven and man in his heart, he finally made up his mind and said:

"Okay, the last general promised the prince that he would not mention Chu Sui's matter after returning to Beijing."

Xue Zhen turned his back to him, a little sorrow dissipated between his eyebrows, and his voice still did not fluctuate:

"Lord Meng should rest first, tomorrow, I will send someone to send Lord Meng back."

With that, he turned and left the room.

Meng Jingzhen, who was left in the house, looked at the back of Xue Zhen leaving, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

*

Leaving the room where Meng Jingxin was under house arrest, Xue Zhen stood in place and slowed down for a moment before taking the teapot from Chang Feng's hand beside him and walked to the room where Chu Sui was under house arrest on the other side.

Compared with Meng Jingxin's pale but not embarrassed appearance, this young man in the prince's mansion who is more than forty years old is much more embarrassed.

Chu Sui, who was originally a thin scholar, was already in shape at this time, and when Xue Zhen pushed the door out, he was still shivering, and the person shrank in the corner, looking at the open door vigilantly.

As soon as he saw that it was Xue Zhen coming in, his reaction was the same as Meng Jingxin's, and he blurted out:

"Shizi, is Shizi here to kill me?"

Xue Zhen looked at him, sighed, and said bluntly, "Mr. Chu, Your Majesty is healthy, and the crown prince has not been convicted of this incident."

Chu Sui never expected such a result, and looked at Xue Zhen with wide eyes:

"Shizi, is this true?"

"Now that this is the case, why should I lie to Mr.?" Xue Zhen closed the door, stood by the door, and put down the teapot in his hand, "My husband and I haven't seen each other for six years, right?"

When Chu Sui was flustered in his heart, he suddenly heard Xue Zhen reminiscing, and couldn't help but be stunned, vigilant and sarcastic: "The prince's status is precious, and he is stationed on the frontier, Chu is just a mere minister, how can he be worthy of befriending the prince?"

Xue Zhen didn't care about his mockery, and only continued: "When I was a child studying in the imperial study, I also studied with my husband for a few days and did two articles.

Chu Sui was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

He no longer shrank in the corner, but sat upright on the bed, straightened his clothes, and looked like a deputy literati, and said:

"The prince is really joking, the minister was only recommended by Mr. Guan at that time, and he was fortunate enough to give a few lectures to the prince, and the prince was only a companion at that time, and he didn't know each other for three months, so why should the prince catch up with me?"

Xue Zhen looked at him, "Yes, Mr. Guan...... It's a pity. It's a pity that there are more than a hundred people in the Prince's Mansion now, whether they are gentlemen or slaves and pawns, and there are only five people I know and old friends with me."

Chu Sui was silent.

In recent years, His Majesty has been harsh on the prince, so that the people in the prince's mansion have either been convicted or left away.

Even the son in front of him has an estranged relationship with the prince.

Xue Zhen couldn't stand for a long time now, so he sat on the chair: "I know that Mr. is impatient to catch up with me, so I won't go around the corner, whose will is it that Mr. came to me this time?"

Chu Sui, who was sighing with emotion, was stunned by the question and said:

"Why did the prince say that?"

Xue Zhen looked directly at him:

"Sir, since I would ask such a question, I naturally already know the answer, so why should Sir lie to me?"

Chu Sui looked at Xue Zhen's honest eyes, gradually calmed down, and said with certainty:

"So the prince came back from Kyohaka? Chu Mou should have refused to come to see him because the enemy country came to invade and the prince was entangled in military affairs."

Xue Zhen smiled:

"What do you know about the situation outside?"

Chu Sui sighed: "The major events of the enemy country on the border, the guards will inevitably discuss, and naturally some will leak into Chu's ears."

Xue Zhen looked at him deeply, "So, isn't the Lord a traitor?"

Chu Sui frowned: "What is this word?"

"Sir, don't blame," Xue Zhen said apologetically, "It's just that there has just been an accident in Beijing, and Chen and Zheng have pressed the border with a large army, which is inevitably suspicious."

Chu Sui's eyes widened, and he finally understood what kind of crime he had placed on the prince's head, so he got up, pointed at him and scolded:

"Ridiculous! Does the prince think that the prince can collaborate with the enemy and commit treason for his own future? He's the crown prince! It's the prince!"

He said impassionedly, coughing because he was so emotional.

"Since Mr. knows," Xue Zhen looked at him quietly, waiting for him to finish coughing before saying, "Then why did you decide to act like that in the first place?"

Chu Sui gasped and looked at Xue Zhen and said, "The prince also said, what kind of injustice has the prince suffered over the years? The Sacred Heart is selfish, why is the prince innocent? Is it going to be my Zhao's Fusu?"

"Mr. Chu," Xue Zhen Zhengse interrupted him, "Your Majesty doesn't dare to compare with the First Emperor, and King Huai can't be the Second Emperor of Qin. This time, the prince was filial and sincere, and saved His Majesty, and His Majesty was also deeply affectionate and unwilling to pursue the prince. But sir, this matter has become a thorn, and sir should understand that you and I are the ones who will make this thorn pierce deeper."

Chu Sui was silent for a long time, and looked at the teapot that Xue Zhen brought in:

"It turns out that the son of the world really wants Chu to die."

Xue Zhen nodded: "Yes, there are some things, the palace gate is closed or it is still a family matter, but when it comes out of the capital, it involves the feudal officials, it is the government of the government, and since it is the government of the government, it has to be dealt with in accordance with the law."

Chu Sui looked at Xue Zhen for a long time, and suddenly laughed:

"Shizi, as an official in the court, you either choose a side and stand firm, or hang high and unconcerned about yourself. The prince of heaven is not loyal to the ministers of the Son of Heaven, and he does not follow the secret edict brought by Meng Jingxin; For the prince's friend, he can't do his duty, and he refuses to listen to my good words. Shizi, what benefits have you gained from your dilemma? When will I perish today, the unfaithful and unrighteous Son?"

Xue Zhen said indifferently: "No need for benefits, but whatever I want."

Chu Sui said twice, strode to the table, and didn't need a teapot, just lifted the teapot and drank half of the pot in one go.

Xue Zhen exhaled almost invisibly and said slowly:

"Lord Chu Suichu, the young Zhan of the Prince's Mansion, was kidnapped by the spies who infiltrated my Dazhao when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and he died in a foreign land-Lord Chu thinks it's okay to say this?"

Chu Sui was speechless, only facing Xue Zhen, and stretched to the ground.

Xue Zhen returned the salute and left the room.

When the door closed, the sound of people falling down could be heard inside.

Xue Zhen's hand stopped on the door for a long time before he let go of his hand and turned around.

But as soon as he walked down the steps, he couldn't hold it anymore, and coughed up blood violently.

Unfaithfulness and unrighteousness, nothing more than that.
