Zheng's mother said excitedly, "Then what is it that I stand up to die today? If I'm afraid of death, I'll pretend to be stupid and not stand up! Why do you want to do anything more and do that betrayal of the Lord for the sake of your life?"

Jade looked at Mother Zheng sadly, "If you say it well, you are loyal, but if you say it badly, you are servile!" What's the difference with the janitor in the yard! Even if the owner wants to peel and stew it, it still wags its tail to show its loyalty!"

Mother Zheng was so angry that her lips trembled and her hands were raised.

Jade stubbornly leaned her face forward, "My daughter's face, it's not like she hasn't been beaten, so my mother will beat it." With the master's mind, whether the daughter can live in the future is a matter of two words!"

Mother Zheng's hand fell down and closed her eyes in pain.

The Imperial Study.

The cold fragrance lingers.

Between Emperor Qingming and Zhao Chengyuan, it is a vertical and horizontal chessboard.

Emperor Qingming wanted Zhao Chengyuan to let his six sons today, so as to see how much strength he hid. It's a pity that Zhao Chengyuan refused, saying that it was not a matter of life and death, so why let himself be so hard.

Not only did he refuse to let six sons, but he also refused to let even one son.

Emperor Qingming glanced at Zhao Chengyuan, "Everyone went to the Dingguo Mansion for a banquet, why do you have time?"

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "Dingguo Gong didn't give an invitation to his younger brother."

"You don't know why?"

"Brother Chen can't think of it, it won't be because of the old grievances of the Marquis of Anling."

Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chengyuan, "I once gave you and Zhaoping a marriage, but you refused, isn't it that you are the same as Dingguo Gong, do you have any heart knots?" new

"The marriage that the courtier's brother refused is not one or two." Zhao Chengyuan's eyes were dyed with cold fragrance and cold color, and the ink was sparkling, "Brother Huang mentioned it again, and Brother Chen agreed."

Surprise flashed in Emperor Qingming's eyes, and he laughed.

"You have moved your heart, but I am afraid of annoying the Duke of Dingguo. I can't do this wicked man!"

Zhao Chengyuan raised his eyes and said, "It sounds like the imperial brother knows something. The royal brother told his subordinates that the younger brother might as well think of a solution."

Emperor Qingming shook his head and smiled, "How do you know if you have any grievances. If you miss the opportunity, you miss it, if you want to hold the beauty, think for yourself! Or if you go to the Dingguo Mansion now, can the Dingguo Mansion still drive you away?"

Zhao Chengyuan twisted the sunspot, his fingertips were black jade coolness, and he fell casually, "On a big day, if there is a fight, it will disturb Zhaoping's good mood."

"Well, Ding Guogong said that he couldn't do such a thing." Emperor Qingming smiled and asked, "You haven't arrived, have you prepared any congratulatory gifts for Zhaoping?"

Zhao Chengyuan smiled in his eyes, "Ready, I will serve it myself before dark."

"What is it?"

Zhao Chengyuan smiled silently.

"If you don't say it, I can hear it."

Emperor Qingming frowned and looked at the chessboard for a long time, and then Fang Luo, "Speaking of which, it's not a matter that the prince's backyard has been empty, it's time to find a crown princess to preside over the backyard for him." He likes Zhaoping, Zhaoping's identity is also suitable, and he has the assertion of a phoenix's life, I hope that the two of them can achieve a good relationship more than you."

As he spoke, Emperor Qingming kept looking at Zhao Chengyuan's expression.

Zhao Chengyuan's face didn't see any change, and he was still indifferent and cold.

"The crown prince quietly sent two ships of grain to the southwest in August this year, it seems that the imperial brother doesn't know, right?"

A cold flash flashed in Emperor Qingming's eyes, "How do you know?"

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "The grain ship went to Zhan'an River, and it happened to pass by the ship of the minister. But just a few days after the grain ship of the household department, these two lone ships looked strange. After the investigation, Fang found the crown prince's head."

Emperor Qingming rubbed his jade wrench.

Counting the days, the prince had just been injured at that time and was recuperating in the palace.

Before that, he had also gone to the dock of Futai Town with his injuries, and if he hadn't passed out, he would have gotten on the boat and left Beijing.

Asked afterwards where he was going, he said yes

I want to go to Jinju to find Uncle Seven.

But now it seems that it is impossible to say that he is going to the southwest battlefield. In the end, the people didn't make it, and arranged a grain ship to go over to win over Dingguogong.

Recently, Dingguo Gong treated him closely, which makes sense.

Emperor Qingming said coldly, "The crown prince has the demeanor of a prince, worrying about the country and the people."

Zhao Chengyuan was idle and said with a smile, "Manager Wu, come over and count the children."

Wu Jian bowed his waist and stepped forward and looked at Emperor Qingming cautiously.

Emperor Qingming waved his hand, "Don't count."

Wu Jian agreed, and silently retreated to the side.

Zhao Chengyuan picked up the chess pieces, "It's been ten days since the assassination on Changfeng Street, can the imperial brother find out the eyebrows?"

"Dali Temple has not been able to find new evidence. At present, the biggest suspicion is you, seventh brother."

Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chengyuan and said with a smile, "Especially since you and Dingguo Gong seem to have some great grievances. If the target of the Changfeng Street assassination is me and Dingguo Gong, it is very likely that the person behind the scenes is the seventh brother."

Zhao Chengyuan's eyes were slightly gloomy.

The emperor repeatedly mentioned the grievances between him and Dingguo Gong, because he suspected that he already knew the secret that had been hidden for many years, right?

Recently, Zhao Chen has led Dali Temple to investigate cases for half a day every day, and half a day in the imperial study, this judgment is mostly Zhao Chen guiding the emperor.

If it is true, then it means that Zhao Chen also knows the secret.

Therefore, Zhao Chen designed this assassination to blame him, so that the emperor could get rid of him justifiably. Even if it doesn't work, it can always make the emperor very jealous of him.

If he guessed that there were eight points that might be Zhao Chen, now he is sure that he is the person who planned it behind the scenes.

This is indeed a good move.

His nephew was smarter and more scheming than he had imagined.

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "It seems that it was speculated by the prince and Dali Temple. Now that there is no evidence, it is just speculation to say who the murderer is. The emperor himself, there is no other speculation?"

"You mean the Prince?"

Emperor Qingming smiled lightly, "He is the prince, this world will be hiss in the future, he just needs to do his duty, there is no reason to take risks."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "Then the courtier brother will speculate one or two. What if the prince wants to blame his younger brother for this? His real target is not the imperial brother and the prince of Dingguo, but the younger brother. If he hadn't won that game, his brother would have been in a different place by now."

Emperor Qingming's eyes moved slightly, and suspicion suddenly appeared in his eyes.

It wasn't that he didn't doubt the crown prince, but he never thought in this direction.

"When I asked you who you were, you said you didn't know."

Zhao Chengyuan bent his right leg and put his arm on it casually, "This kind of matter is too important, it involves the lives of hundreds or thousands of people, how can you speculate at will. When the younger brother says this now, he is just speculating on the prince's speculation."

Emperor Qingming looked at him, "In this way, you think he is the most suspicious."
