In the study, Hu Yong was waiting there.

After Sun Qi left with the six people who had changed their faces, he also came out of the mountain and waited at the foot of the mountain. When the emperor descended the mountain, he followed him all the way.

"My subordinates have seen the little master, and I have seen Miss Song."

Hu Yong is the head of those people, and it is easy not to go out of the mountain if he has nothing to do, and when they see him, the two of them know that something is wrong in the mountain, but seeing that his expression is not too bad, they know that it is not a big deal, so they are not in a hurry to ask.

After a few people sat down, Hu Yong told Sun Qi about bringing people into the mountain today.

These people have been in the mountains for more than ten years, and they have never been discovered, and the old emperor suddenly sent Sun Qi to investigate, which no one expected, so after Dingguo Gong heard it, he immediately asked his wife to pretend to be sick and invite Song Wanyue and the two to come over.

Dingguo Gong was worried, "I don't know what Sun Qi said, the emperor will not be suspicious, if he sends another person, these two thousand people will be in danger." ”

Although it was a col surrounded by mountains, it was not without other roads.

"Since Sun Qi has replaced people, he must have thought of an excuse, grandfather don't worry."

As he spoke, something flashed in Song Yin's mind, and it disappeared in a flash, and he didn't have time to catch it.

Xiao Zheng was uneasy, "How could he suddenly go to the mountain, and how could he let Sun Qi go to search Qian'er's residence, is he already ......?"

"The emperor took the four princes to the Xu family just now, he said that today is to go to the mountain to find Master Jingfan to count the days, and set up the four princes as the crown prince, and his great-great-grandfather felt that there was something strange ......"

Before she finished speaking, Song Wanyue paused and looked at Song Yin.

Song Yin also looked at her, the things that flashed in his mind just now became clear, his expression froze, and he said in unison with Song Wanyue, "The fourth prince is in danger!" ”

Everyone was shocked.

"Xiao'er, you can be clear."

In a hurry, Dingguo Gong shouted Chu Yunxiao's real name, but at this moment, no one in the study could take care of it, the four princes were all their hopes, if something happened to the four princes, their plans over the years would all come to naught.

"The emperor doesn't want to make a prince, whether it was before or after, he has never had this thought, he thinks of holding power in his own hands when he dies. Therefore, he used to watch several princes fight openly and secretly, never interfered, and even took advantage of the rumors and palace banquets to demote the eldest prince to Liangzhou, and the second prince was sent to Lingnan. Now, in order to block the mouths of the ministers, he had to make the four princes the crown princes, but he didn't need to be in such a hurry at all, but he was so urgent, it could only show that he wanted to deal with the four princes. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zheng stood up anxiously, "Then what are we going to do?" ”

The four princes live in the palace, even if they want to, they can't protect it.

"Uncle, don't worry, he won't do it now, at least he won't in the next few days, we still have time."

Today is already the fifth day of the first lunar month, and there are only two days before the eighth day of the first lunar month, not only Xiao Zheng is more anxious, but Dingguo Gong is also worried, Xiao'er is his grandson, and the fourth prince is also his grandson, he is also distressed.

"I have a good idea." Xiao Qiandao.

"Speak quickly!"

Xiao Zheng can't wait to slap his son twice, when will he still sell Guanzi.

"Replace the four princes."

"No way!"

Song Yin disagreed, "Let's not talk about whether we have the right person on hand, even if we do, it is not appropriate to change it at this time, the emperor is extremely familiar with the four princes, once he notices it, not only the four princes, but even the aunt and the Dingguo Mansion will be in danger." ”

"So what to do? Now that we've guessed this possibility, we can't just do nothing and watch them ......."

Xiao Qian couldn't say any more, and his hand on the armrest clenched.

Over the years, he has endured the separation from his family, and he has been pretending to be sick every day except when he sleeps, just to avenge his aunt, and now he finally has hope, but he is ......

He slammed the armrest.

He has always been calm, and the first time he was out of control like this, Hu Yong subconsciously wanted to persuade a few words, but his mouth was open, but he didn't know what to say.

For more than ten years, they have been isolated from the world, and only one belief in avenging King Qin supports them, if this belief is gone, they will not even have the meaning of living.

Song Yin closed his eyes.

Song Wanyue held his hand, "There are only a few means he can use, as long as we are fully prepared, he may not be able to succeed." ”

"Yue'er is right......", Dingguo Gong also stabilized his mind, now they can't panic, and it is the most important thing to come up with a way to deal with it.

Song Yinhui held Song Wanyue's hand, calmed himself down completely, and looked at Hu Yong, "Do you know what day Master Jingfan counts?" ”

Hu Yong shook his head, "My subordinates were waiting at the foot of the mountain, and they didn't go up the mountain." ”

"You quickly go to Sun Qi's mansion and ask him if he knows?"

Hu Yong turned around and walked out, and Song Yin stopped him, "Uncle, give him a waist card." ”

Xiao Zheng untied his waist card and threw it over, Hu Yong took it and strode out.

Song Yin looked at a few people, "The means of harming people in the palace are nothing more than those kinds, one is poisoning, we are not afraid of this, let Yue'er make some more antidote pills and we will send them to the palace." ”

"Then it's the assassination, I asked Sun Qi to send a message to my cousin, asking him not to go anywhere except in the palace of himself and his aunt."

"What else is there besides these two?"

"Planting."

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Zheng immediately denied this kind again, the fourth prince is a prince, he lacks nothing, and he can't be blamed.

Then there is only one kind of adultery left, but the fourth prince is still young and doesn't understand the affairs of men and women, so this will not happen.

Then there is only poisoning and assassination.

It is the most likely to be poisoned, it should be a chronic poison, and it will not kill the four princes for a while.

Song Yin regretted that Xu Yan broke his leg in order not to go to the palace, if Xu Yan could still go to the palace, he could also take the opportunity to take the four princes out, and let Yue'er take his pulse when the time came.

Hu Yong came back soon, "Sun Qi said that he didn't know, there were only the emperor and the four princes, Huang Gonggong, and Master Jingfan in the meditation room at that time. ”

"Got it, you go down to rest first, and then go back early tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

"After I go back, send two people to secretly guard my cousin's yard."

"My subordinates know."

Waiting for Hu Yong to retreat, Song Yin asked Song Wanyue to make a list and handed it to Xiao Qian, asking him to see how many medicinal materials were still available in the mansion.

It is still the Chinese New Year, and the pharmacy is not open, but fortunately, because Xiao Qian is back, the family has prepared a lot of medicinal materials.

After staying in the Dingguo Mansion for an hour, the two returned to the Xu Mansion.

The old gentleman is still waiting for them to eat together.

After the two entered the door, they told the old gentleman what they had guessed.

The old gentleman also looked solemn, "Today, the emperor mentioned to me that he wanted your second grandfather to be the crown prince, but I refused, otherwise I could help the fourth prince." ”
