"Are you afraid that the widow will follow in the footsteps of the Marquis of Qi Ai?" E Yufang laughed loudly: "No. What your uncle has done has nothing to do with the widow, and the widow has divorced his wife according to the letter of the Son of Heaven and the King, if he still embarrasses the widow, he will be dishonest in the world. Son, don't worry!"

The curtain chariots of Ying Hou and Ehou drove into the Rushui Palace and galloped into a quiet garden palace. These two met unexpectedly, and after a hurried salute, they silently followed the old chamberlain who led the way into the deep corridor, and zigzagged to a sunny but silent place.

The forest is lush and verdant, the house is very tall and very large, the carpet is very thick and soft, the wood fragrance is very clear and mellow, the front of the case is a fragrant ding, and the case is a Nanmu coffin.

The two of them glanced at each other, their hearts jumped, and they hurriedly bowed to the ground, secretly thinking in their hearts: I heard that Huaiqing sent the body of the second prince to Rushui Palace, this must be it! King Zhou asked the two of us to come and bow to the coffin of the second prince first, and it must be that the person who came was not good! Thinking of this, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from their foreheads.

"The king has arrived—" A shrill voice peculiar to the chamberlain pierced the stagnant air, and the thick bronze door creaked open, and E Yufang immediately felt a rush of tension and suffocation.

He didn't dare to look up, only felt a cold wind driven by the fluttering of his clothes, and only saw a pair of vermilion brocade boots flickering in front of him.

"Have you all worshiped the spirit of the second king?" It was the familiar and cold voice of Zhou Tianzi Jihu.

"Your lord, your minister is guilty!" Ying Hou first wept and said, "The king sent the second prince to the kingdom, which is the supreme glory of the whole kingdom. However, the minister failed to protect the second prince, resulting in his tragic death at the hands of the thieves, and the minister's crime is unforgivable!"

"You are guilty, but you are not here!" Ji Hu scolded sharply.

"Please make it clear to the king!"

"Although Shang's father is the younger brother of the king, he is also the doctor of the king and eunuch of the country, and when Zhou Gongdan set up the royal prison system, it was made clear that the king and eunuch were also the ministers of the country where they were located. Since you and your father are kings and ministers, you should be bound to him, how can you indulge him in his misdeeds, and eventually invite death!" Ji Hu thought about this, and he was really heartbroken.

"This ......" Ying Hou felt aggrieved: How can I manage this master? With the noble blood of the Zhou royal family as the backing, and such a big backer as Uncle Ehou, I can't afford to mess with him, but I can still control him? Although he thought so in his heart, he had to be submissive: "The king's lesson is that the second prince died in Yingguo, and the minister's crime cannot be excused!"

"Alas—" Ji Hu's soft sigh was clearly audible, "That's it, the temperament of the second brother...... Let you manage, but it is also difficult for you. My father never married, but did he leave any children?"

"Yes, yes!" Ying Hou is like an amnesty: "The second prince's maid in Yingcheng gave birth to a son, Fang Fang is four months old, and the minister has been taking care of it carefully, and both mother and son are safe."

Ji Hu nodded, his face slightly pale: "Finally, after all, it will not be extinct, and Lone can be regarded as having a little explanation to the first king." This kid will take over the responsibility of the second brother's king and eunuch, if there is any further mistake, only you ask. Moreover, the funeral of the second brother will be undertaken by you Yingguo, and there is no need to return to Hojing. As soon as you return to the burial in the right place, you must do it properly, and you will be counted as having your sin committed."

"No! The minister will do his best to bring the second prince to the ground." Ying Hou knew that he had passed, and he was glad in his heart, and kept kowtowing to promise.

"Stand down!" Ji Hu waved his hand.

As soon as Ying Hou left, E Yufang's heart tightened, and he understood that it would be his turn next. But even Ying Hou let it go so gently, he didn't believe that King Zhou had any reason to embarrass himself with the death of his father? After all, in the eyes of the world, Ying Hou can be regarded as a directly responsible person, and he is just related to the murderer by marriage, not to mention that he has just divorced his wife, and this only relationship is broken.

"Ehou, do you know why Gu called you to this Rushui Palace?" Ji Hu's words are faint.

E Yufang replied loudly: "Your lord, when you hear the bad news of the second prince, the minister is heartbroken and grieved. Even if there is no king's royal book, the minister will divorce his wife and cut off all relations with the murderers Huaiqing and Yibu. Even if the king does not summon his ministers, the ministers will also come to ask for his guilt in front of the king's chaste and hang the mourning of the second prince."

"You think so." Ji Hu sneered: "It's a pity that it's not the second brother who called you here alone."

"Oh?" Eyu

Fang was very surprised: "That...... What is the matter with the king's summoning of his courtiers?"

Ji Hu smiled, looked at the respectful Eyu Fang at the bottom of the stairs, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart: This bone is very hard, be careful of teeth! He slowly stretched out his hand and clapped his hands twice, and the figure behind the screen flickered. A man in his twenties, with light steps, flashed out and bowed to Ji Hu: "E Kun has seen the king!"

"You, you...... Is it Kun'er?" E Yufang was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "Are you still alive? Why...... Not coming back?"

"The son is not filial, and he is afraid that he will block the path of the son of the silver brother, so he does not dare to come back." E Kun didn't want to turn his face to face his father at all, and his words were full of alienation and coldness.

"What are you talking about?" It turned out that this rebel son deliberately avoided and refused to return to China, and deliberately found Zhou Tianzi to take refuge, and the father and son were on guard so far? E Yufang was also cold.

"Okay, okay," Seeing that the father and son were tense, Ji Hu had to intervene to stop the sparks flying between the words and swords, "If you have any disputes, settle them privately, this is the royal palace!"

"The ministers indulge and deceive, please forgive me!" The father and son of the E family pleaded guilty in unison.

"No need, just say it directly." Ji Hu faced Eyufang: "Ehou, I heard that because the prince Kun has been missing for a long time, you intend to change the youngest son Chong as the son, but is there such a thing?"

Eyu Fang arched his hand: "Don't dare to deceive the king, when the minister left Echeng, because he wanted to determine the candidate for the prison country, he had already sued the temple to re-establish Echong as the prince." Now, the Kun has suddenly appeared, and the minister doesn't know what to do!"

"The Ekun is the eldest son, and the Echong is from the stepfamily, as Gu remembers well, the steproom is the concubine in front of the original match, right?" Ji Hu language with coercion.

"Indeed." E Yufang gritted his teeth and decided to make the last struggle, not only because his young son was his beloved, but also because judging from today's situation, the son of E Kun seems to have completely sided with the Zhou royal family, separated from himself, and is definitely not the ideal heir candidate: "Ranchen has issued an edict to the whole country, officially canonized the Orng, and has told the temple to worship the ancestors, and obtained the approval of the ancestors of the E. family. Huanghuang Temple, engraved records, see the annals, how can it be easily changed? What's more, E Kun has been missing for a long time and deliberately conceals his whereabouts, which shows that he has no ancestors in his heart, nor does he have filial piety between father and son, and he really has no appearance of a son. I hope my king will understand!"
