Chu Ze and the others came out of the palace, whether it was Zhao Runji or the eldest prince, all of them had serious faces.

What happened tonight was beyond everyone's expectations.

No one thought that in the Great Prince's Mansion, Zhao Yi would suddenly disappear.

Following Chu Ze out of the palace, Zhao Runji walked up to Chu Ze, smiled forcibly, and said, "Brother Chu, let's meet again another day." ”

As far as he is concerned, no matter what, he is doing Chu Ze a favor today, and according to the agreement between the two, Chu Ze will also take refuge in him.

Chu Ze arched his hand and smiled: "Your Highness, rest assured, in the future, if there is a dispatch, Chu Ze will not obey!" ”

That's a good point.

However, there is some sincerity in this, and that is unknown.

Zhao Runji didn't think too much about it, seeing Chu Ze's attitude, he was quite satisfied, waved his hand and said, "Brother Chu should also go back to the house to rest early!" I'll take my leave. ”

The eldest prince also walked to Chu Ze's side, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Now that Zhao Yi is missing, it is a good thing for you, when I have time, I will come forward to discuss with the Yin family, and find a way for you to marry that Yin Ziting into the mansion." ”

The eldest prince naturally has his considerations, and now Chu Ze can be regarded as his person, if he can marry Yin Ziting, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as bringing Wen Qi and Yin Tu closer to him!

Seeing that Zhao Yi was missing, the fourth prince was sent to prison, but the eldest prince was ready to help Chu Ze marry Yin Ziting!

On the one hand, it is to win over Chu Ze and give grace, and on the other hand, it is also to strengthen its own power!

Therefore, he is even willing to take the initiative.

Chu Ze hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Then thank you, Your Highness!" ”

The eldest prince smiled: "My own people, I will not treat you badly!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left with Zhao Runji.

Standing at the gate of the palace, Chu Ze looked at the figures of the two leaving, straightened up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

The last time Chu Ze took Bai Jiao to hunt, he found that Bai Jiao's miracle was amazing, no matter how much he swallowed, Bai Jiao could immediately shrink his body.

And what is swallowed into the inner body will also shrink.

Technically speaking, Chu Ze couldn't understand this kind of thing, but he understood that Bai Jiao was a divine object of heaven and earth and had its own magical powers.

When Chu Ze wanted to plot against Zhao Yi, he actually had countless plans in his mind.

Including ruining Zhao Yi's reputation and getting some means of framing him.

But after thinking about it, Chu Ze found that these methods may be useful, but at this time, Zhao Yi and Yin Ziting's marriage is decided, even if Zhao Yi is exposed to some scandals, can it really prevent the marriage from continuing?

I'm afraid it's not necessarily!

So Chu Ze was ruthless in his heart, and he simply planned to want Zhao Yi's life!

In any case, it is impossible for a dead person to marry!

Zhao Yi has a guard by his side!

The cultivation is not too high, nor is it too low, but from Chu Ze's point of view, if it is an assassination, there is actually a chance.

But at this time, with Zhao Yi's contradiction with him, he assassinated him, and it was very likely that he would be suspected, and the four princes could not be involved.

If the four princes do not fall, it is a big threat to Chu Ze!

So Chu Ze wanted to muddy the water.

When Zhao Runji came to woo, Chu Ze knew that the opportunity had come!

If you can be in the Great Prince's Mansion, let Zhao Yi disappear or die!

Then even if Chu Ze is present, everyone will look at the eldest prince with suspicion!

But how to make Zhao Yi disappear? And completely remove your suspicion!

Chu Ze thought of Bai Jiao!

Zhao Yixiu is not high!

And Bai Jiao's cultivation is basically improved with Chu Ze's cultivation, and at this time he has surpassed Zhao Yi, not to mention, Bai Jiao still has that powerful body, which can grow and shrink freely!

As long as Zhao Yi is alone, and Bai Jiao is ambushed in advance, ready to ambush, suddenly sneak attack, and take down Zhao Yi at a very fast speed, it is not difficult!

And the witch curse that was placed in advance was secretly placed by Chu Ze by taking the opportunity to go to the toilet.

In this world, there are no cameras, no fingerprint extraction technology, nothing.

In this case, when something is put down, no one can know who put it!

And when Zhao Yi disappears, people will definitely subconsciously associate it with him!

Chu Ze's only worry was that Zhao Yi left the table early and went home without going to the toilet, so he kept touting Zhao Yi and constantly toasting to make him happy and make him more excited the more he drank.

Especially in the face of Chu Ze's deliberate lowering of his posture, Zhao Yi, as Chu Ze's rival, gained great satisfaction!

But this nostalgia for satisfaction eventually cost him his life!

And the appearance of the witch barbarian curse was a means for Chu Ze to deliberately guide Emperor Xia to suspicion!

The confusing situation is bound to make Emperor Xia suspicious, and if he suspects, he will investigate!

As for whether to check the Four Princes' Mansion, Chu Ze is not sure.

As the saying goes, it is in people to plan things, and it is in heaven to achieve things, this is the truth!

But in the end, Emperor Xia still went to check the mansion of the four princes, and the eldest princess did complete the placement of the witch curse as agreed.

Having said that, for Chu Ze, even if Emperor Xia didn't go to check the Four Princes' Mansion, as long as Zhao Yi disappeared and didn't set himself on fire, then everything would be worth it.

Because as long as Zhao Yi disappears, the marriage will not be able to go ahead as promised!

Thinking of Zhao Yi's words in the restaurant, Chu Ze not only did not feel uneasy, but instead felt an incomparably happy feeling.

Guogong Mansion, Chu Ze entered, and Chen Jinsong was already waiting for him.

When the two met, Chen Jinsong looked at Chu Ze with a complicated expression and said, "Today, the forbidden army came to search, but nothing was found!" ”

"I know!"

"And then? How's it going? ”

"Zhao Yi is missing, and the witch curse was found in the palace of the four princes, and the cursed people involve the eldest princess, the eldest prince, and the third prince... And Your Majesty! ”

When he heard Chu Ze's words, Chen Jinsong fell silent.

After a while, he grinned: "What a vicious method! Your Majesty is at such an age, and he is at the juncture of choosing an heir, so he must be very concerned about these things! No matter what, he hopes that the princes will respect him! He didn't want to see anyone in the prince who was murderous to him! It's just that as soon as this plan comes out, I'm afraid it will cause a monstrous disaster! ”

Chu Ze shook his head and smiled: "I don't care about that much!" I'm not feeling well, so don't think about it! How Mu Huaijin fights dissidents, that's his business, anyway, after tonight, this matter won't be contaminated with us! ”

In fact, if you really talk about this kind of thing, the person who was framed is certainly the victim, but the most terrible thing is that Emperor Xia ordered Mu Huaijin to investigate carefully!

In this so-called detailed investigation, Mu Huaijin has too much room to operate.

Maybe just put a similar witch curse doll in someone else's house, and the family can be wiped out!

And will Mu Huaijin take this opportunity to crack down on dissidents and eradicate political opponents?

Chu Ze asked himself, if he stood in Mu Huaijin's position and suddenly had such an opportunity to attack the enemy, he might not let it go.

It is precisely because of this that this method seems terrible.

In particular, if you are suspected, you may be beaten into a trick.

But not everyone has an iron backbone, and harsh torture can wear out the will of many people to resist, and even make people want to die!

However, Chen Guogong's Mansion, as a mansion that has been searched, can be regarded as staying out of the matter.

Chen Jinsong sighed and said: "I didn't expect that you kid could do this, take refuge in the eldest princess, get help from external forces, take advantage of Zhao Runji's desire to attract you, and then borrow the power of the eldest prince to completely mess up the situation in one fell swoop, and without knowing it, you can make Zhao Yi disappear, in this way, there will be a monstrous disaster, but you can stay out of the matter and sit and watch the court fight, which is really a good means!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jinsong looked at Chu Ze and asked seriously: "It's just one thing, I think it's still a trouble, who are you going to play for?" Now that the eldest princess is secretly helping you, on the surface, you agreed to Zhao Runji and took refuge in the eldest prince, between these two, you have to make a choice! ”

Faced with this question, Chu Ze shook his head and said: "I don't know, the current situation, I plan to tell the eldest princess that I am closer to Zhao Runji and the eldest prince on the surface, and secretly help her, as for the follow-up, it still depends on the development of the situation!" If the eldest prince wins the face, he will naturally help him, and if the eldest princess wins the face, I will help the eldest princess. If the two of them are about the same, then only God knows, but there is a high probability that they will still help the eldest princess. ”

"Why?" Chen Jinsong was very curious why between the eldest prince and the eldest princess, Chu Ze would choose the eldest princess.

Chu Ze grinned: "Hehe, it's not because of you, grandpa, you said that I should marry Xiao Hongmian, if I don't help the eldest princess, how can I marry that?" I haven't forgotten your wish, grandpa! ”

Chen Jinsong looked at Chu Ze with strange eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "You kid, you are not greedy, now for a Yin Ziting, you have turned the world upside down, and you are still thinking about Xiao Hongmian in your heart!" To tell you the truth, I'm no longer hopeful! ”

"It's up to people, in this life, people always have to toss and try, or how can they be willing?" Chu Ze said with a smile.

Chen Jinsong asked with some curiosity: "How did you kid make that Zhao Yi missing?" Where is Zhao Yi now? ”

"Dead! Destroy the corpses! Chu Ze said softly, but he didn't say the specific means!

Seeing him like this, Chen Jinsong understood that he was afraid that this kid had some of his own selfish methods, and he didn't continue to ask.

Just looked at Chu Ze with gratifying eyes, Chen Jinsong, who had been up and down for half his life, knew very well that above the court, the means were ruthless, it was not a wrong thing, but it was a wrong thing to not be able to fight others!

On the Great Prince's Mansion, Zhao Runji, Nangong Ye, all gathered together!

The eldest prince frowned and said: "Today's incident is really weird, what do I think, I can't figure out who did it, in the end, the fourth child harmed people, there was an accident in the middle, so it was exposed, or did someone deliberately attack the fourth child?" ”

He didn't take Chu Ze into account at all.

After all, the power that Chu Ze can use is something that everyone can see, and it is none other than Chen Guogong.

But even if Chen Guogong made a move, he was old and weak, and his cultivation was constantly declining, and it was extremely difficult for him to kidnap people in Nangong Ye's hands.

Not to mention those witch curse dolls in the Four Princes' Mansion.

Zhao Runji frowned and said: "I can't figure it out about this matter, in fact, Zhao Yi came to our house, or Chu Ze proposed it, from this point of view, he is very suspicious, but when Zhao Runji left the table, Chu Ze was always in the hall, and it was impossible to make a fool of himself, and Chu Ze was nothing more than being able to invite Chen Guogong, I really couldn't figure it out, I couldn't figure it out!" ”

Nangong Ye opened his mouth at this time and said: "I personally think that this person who does it may not be a person, I will never be wrong, that kind of fierce aura is definitely not something that humans can have, it must be some kind of fierce beast!" A fierce beast with a powerful bloodline, and even has some kind of supernatural power! can take that Zhao Yi away under my nose. ”

"Then Nangong senior, why didn't you inform Your Majesty about this?" Zhao Runji said curiously!

The eldest prince spoke again: "I asked him not to reveal it!" This matter is strange inside and out, Nangong has no evidence at all, even to tell the truth, these people will only think that I am diverting attention, and may even think that I killed Zhao Yi and deliberately made up a lie! And once we are sure that Zhao is also in our house, and he disappeared because of some external force, at least he has a reputation for unfavorable protection, since this is the case, why do you want to say it? Anyway, this matter is not harmful to us! For the sake of Zhao Yi's life and death, it's not worth causing trouble for us! ”

Zhao Runji arched his hand and said: "It's still a father, he is scheming, but the child thinks shallowly." ”

The eldest prince rubbed his fingers lightly and muttered to himself: "No matter who did it, it seems that my younger brothers and sisters still have some unknown means!" I have to guard against it, I have to guard against it! If today, the doll in our house is written in the name of my father, how should I deal with it? ”

Listening to his words, Zhao Runji was also cold behind his back!

I can't help but be afraid!

On the other side, Mu Huaijin and Cao Da sat together.

The two of them are the people designated by Emperor Xia to investigate the broken eucalyptus, of which Cao Da is responsible for breaking the eucalyptus and looking for Zhao Yi's traces, while Mu Huaijin is responsible for investigating the curse of the witches in the palace of the four princes.

Mu Huaijin looked at the confessions one by one and asked softly, "Cao Zhutou, what abnormalities can be seen today?" ”

Cao Da glanced at Mu Huaijin and said with a smile: "Master Mu is also a master of breaking eucalyptus, you can't see the abnormality, how can I see it?" ”

Mu Huaijin still looked at the confession in his hand, including the subordinates of the Great Prince's Mansion, Chu Ze, as well as the Great Prince, the Fourth Prince, and Zhao Runji, these people's descriptions of things are all here.

Mu Huaijin suddenly raised his head and said with a slight smile: "Okay, then Master Cao will go slowly, you can take these eucalyptus confessions back, and investigate Zhao Yi's disappearance, I also have to investigate the witch curse, let's go separately!" ”

"Okay, no problem!"

Seeing Cao Da go out, Mu Huaijin thought for a moment, clapped his hands, and a man dressed in black appeared.

"From today onwards, send someone to monitor Chu Ze for me! I want all the people he comes in contact with, where they go every day, who they meet, no matter how big or small, even what they eat, they have to find out for me! ”

The man in black bowed down and asked in a low voice, "Is your lord suspicious of Chu Ze?" ”

Mu Huaijin's face leaked a hint of playfulness: "Of course, this matter, from the cause to the series of things, there is this kid, and he also has a motive to do it, although I don't have any evidence, but if I really want to investigate it well, I must first arrest this kid, torture him, and ask him for ten days and half a month, if he can't ask anything, he can rule out suspicion!" ”

The man in black asked tentatively, "Then let's arrest someone?" ”

Mu Huaijin gave him a blank look: "Arrest someone? What are you as Chen Guogong? What are the bones of the ground where you are that kid? What are you when Your Majesty let him go today? ”

He got up and stretched, and said, "It doesn't matter if this kid did it, or if he played any role in it!" His identity is destined that I can't easily move him without evidence! Otherwise, he will definitely be counterattacked, especially now that he is also involved with the eldest prince! Is that something that can be moved easily? Do you think that Cao Dazhen can't see it? But he didn't mention it or say it, it was nothing more than being afraid of Chu Ze's identity and unwilling to offend people. Alright, let's go down! ”

The man in black left, and Mu Huaijin sat alone in his place, staring at the thick file on the table.

muttered to himself: "The eucalyptus of the fourth prince, if it is not made into an iron eucalyptus, how can I eradicate dissidents?" Those civil officials in the Imperial Historical Observatory, as well as the guys who criticize me a lot on weekdays, if I don't eradicate these people, keep the new monarch on power, and continue to criticize me? Your Majesty is old after all, no matter who is it this time, whose means are so ruthless, so strict, and there is no trace of empirical evidence, it is not easy to deal with, I just really found out, can I sit on the truth? In the past, I was willing to be a lonely minister, because Your Majesty was in good health, but now, Your Majesty is in the twilight, and I have to think about it for myself! ”

Yes, as Emperor Xia grows old.

Many people's minds inevitably change!

Even including this close minister of Emperor Xia.

There is no way, he knows too well, his position, Emperor Xia is alive, he is naturally in a high position, but as soon as Emperor Xia dies and the new monarch ascends the throne, if he does not follow the dragon's merits, he must be liquidated!

A night of madness, early the next morning, almost the owner of the Great Xia received the news!

No one expected that Zhao Yi would suddenly disappear in the Great Prince's Mansion, and he was also involved in the curse of the Four Princes' Mansion!

Almost as soon as everyone heard the news, a thought arose in their hearts: "Four princes, I'm afraid I'm going to be kicked out of the battle for succession!" ”

In the prison of the Zongren Mansion, the eyes of the four princes were blood-red, and their eyes were full of confusion!

He didn't sleep all night, and he was always thinking about who did it.

"It must be Chu Ze, it must be him who framed me with the boss! It must be so! ”

The four princes thought about it, but they still locked the matter on Chu Ze and the eldest prince.

In his opinion, the eldest prince must have hidden those witch curses in his mansion, and then deliberately invited Zhao Yi to the mansion, killed Zhao Yi, and then pretended to be missing!

In the end, it was on him!

"I want to see my father! I was wronged! It's Chu Ze and Zhao Yonghe! The two of them must have worked together to frame me! "The four princes are in prison and shouting wildly!

It's just that no matter how much he shouted, no one came to respond!

On the other side, in the Yin Mansion, Wen Qi and Yin Tu sat opposite each other, and both of them looked ugly!

Overnight, the four princes who were originally going to marry were put in prison, and the whole court began to investigate thoroughly, will this involve them?

In the final analysis, there are few clean officials in Great Xia.

Although Wen Qi does not drink the blood of soldiers, Yin Tu is in the household department, and there are countless silver coins, which is not clean in itself.

In other words, if he is really clean, he will not be able to sit in the position of the head of the household!

When I heard about the investigation, I was even more apprehensive!

Yin Tu glanced at Wen Qi and said with a lot of resentment: "It's all your fault, I have to say that I don't want my daughter to marry Na Chu Ze, and I agreed to the fourth prince's proposal, if not, why worry about it today?" ”
