Chapter 403: Offense is the best defense

Wen Jin paused before continuing: "In order to make the person behind the scenes dare not act rashly. ”

Xiao Yuchen squinted slightly when he heard this, "Are you worried that the person behind the scenes will interfere with the Criminal Department, or even the Third Division?" ”

"He will." Wen Jin said, "So, we are guarding the gate of the palace so that more people know about this matter and pay attention to it."

"There are more people, staring at the Criminal Department and the Third Division, even if they want to bend the law for personal gain...... It will also weigh the impact on the whole situation. ”

First, there is the imperial historian who supervises hundreds of officials.

Second, there are foreign envoys in Kyoto.

Xiao Yuchen nodded...... Although I understand her intentions, I still feel sorry for her.

Her clean and beautiful little face was dirty at this time.

Wet clothes in winter, and then a little warmer and dry......

She has always had a faint lotus aroma, but at this time there is a smell of burnt.

"Sleep for a while, I'll wait outside."

Xiao Yuchen asked her to lie down and put his wind curtain on her.

The carriage was stopped outside the palace gate.

"Lord, at this hour, I can't open the door for you, and I can't pass on the ...... for you."

"You know, this king is here, waiting to open the door."

Wen Jin didn't want to sleep.

But Xiao Yuchen put a pillow for her, let her lie flat on the chair, and covered her with a thick fox fur.

Warm and comfortable, her eyes narrowed...... I fell asleep.

Xiao Yuchen stepped into the carriage lightly.

He stood outside the carriage, breathing in the cold air of the late winter night.

Under the dark and dreary sky, the magnificent palace is like a huge monster.

It is devouring people's hearts with supreme power and great temptation......

Once, he naively thought that as long as he didn't care.

As long as he deliberately keeps his distance, away from the whirlpool of power, away from temptation......

He will not be devoured by this "monster".

Can ...... now

Xiao Yuchen looked back at the quiet carriage.

The man in the carriage breathed lightly...... But he seemed to hear her long, even, breathing.

This man-eating "monster" never intended to let him go, even his wife and children!

If Game of Thrones is doomed to be unavoidable.

And he was already in the game...... So why did he abide by the rules and blindly back down?

Maybe it's the same as kung fu - offense is the best defense.

……

The quiet night hides many secrets.

At this time, the East Palace was quiet, but it was not calm.

Mr. Chu entered the East Palace through the small door specially reserved for him.

He has always liked to walk fast, but today he chose to take a sedan chair.

He sat in a sedan chair and was not honest...... Itchy, the itch of the heart!

He twisted the sedan chair and couldn't even lift the sedan chair steadily......

"Sit's sit, sir!"

The sedan chair man was tossed out of sweat.

Mr. Chu was even more upset, scratching his heart and lungs.

In the middle of the night, the prince didn't sleep.

He sat cross-legged behind the desk with his hair scattered, with a bright lamp and candle, and a book in front of him, but he had not turned the page for a long time.

I saw Mr. Chu enter the door.

The prince immediately got up to greet him, not even wearing shoes.

"Sir! How's it going? ”

Wearing only a pair of white socks, he walked to the middle of the room.

Mr. Chu's expression was hideous, "It's too late!" ”

"What?" The prince was stunned.

"Before Your Highness acts, why don't you discuss it with Chu? Why do you have to wait until the matter can't be stopped and a mess is caused before you tell Chu?! ”

Mr. Chu was very annoyed, and his tone was also impatient.

The prince frowned and looked at him suspiciously, "Mr. Chu, this is ...... Are you blaming Lone?! ”

The prince's voice was also slightly raised a few degrees.

Mr. Chu immediately realized that he had lost his temper.

And his loss of proportion has already angered the prince.

"Chu doesn't dare, the prince forgive me......"

Mr. Chu hurriedly knelt on the ground...... He has a weird posture, and he is not honest when he kneels, so he is twisting and twisting there?

The prince squinted at him from the corner of his eye......

"Mr. Chu is too unconcerned about loneliness? This is how you behave in the East Palace? Well? ”

"Shhh...... Forgive me, prince! Not really! ”

Mr. Chu pinched himself hard, using pain to restrain the itch.

"Tonight, Chu went to find the Jingzhao Mansion Mansion Yin to solve the matter in the west of the city...... Fu Yin didn't know what was in the car, which made Chu itch all over......"

Although he restrained himself with pain, his whole face was still red.

"Mr. Chu's head, is it swollen?" When the prince heard this, he looked at him suspiciously, "Hiss...... Don't it be a big head plague? ”

The prince immediately hid a few steps away in disgust, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

"Mr. Chu made a long story short! How's it going tonight? ”

was so disgusted by the prince, and was cursed with a "big head plague".

Mr. Chu's face was almost green.

He took a deep breath and calmed the anger in his chest, "It's too late, that assassin failed to kill Princess Huai, but was taken down by King Huai!"

"Jingzhao Mansion Yin failed to take back the assassin, but was taken over by the Criminal Department, and asked the three divisions to interrogate. The Criminal Department is strictly guarded and difficult to start. ”

Mr. Chu was itching and wanted to roll on the ground.

His face was blue and purple.

"Even if the person is ...... in the criminal department"

"King Huai and his wife haven't even returned to the mansion, they are already waiting at the gate of the palace at this time, just waiting for dawn, they will definitely ask to see the emperor!" After Mr. Chu finished speaking, he bowed his head and retired.

The prince's face tightened, "Mr. Chu! ”

He stretched out his hand to hold on, but his steps were cautious and hesitant...... In case it is a big head plague, it can't be contaminated in the East Palace!

Mr. Chu glanced at the prince, and his face became cold.

He couldn't feel like this...... The prince didn't even say that he wanted to ask for a doctor for him.

The coldness floating in my heart seemed to dilute the itching on my body, leaving only the cold to the bone.

Mr. Chu lowered his eyes, and his face became more and more cold, "The assassin has hard bones, even if the criminal department has good methods, he can survive for a while......

"Chu will go to the doctor tomorrow to see a doctor...... Seek a countermeasure again! His Royal Highness rested earlier, and Chu retired. ”

The prince opened his mouth, but only waved his hand, "Go ahead......"

Taiyi ...... It is impossible to ask for a doctor!

If it's really a big head plague...... Let the Imperial Doctor know, and the East Palace will be finished!

He won't forget that his queen mother is still locked in Fengqi Palace because of the red rash suspected of "plague"!

The East Palace can't go wrong!

The East is whitening.

The dawn of winter is always unusually slow.

The emperor woke up from the dragon couch and immediately called Gonggong Gao to serve and change his clothes, so that he could go to the Furong Garden to watch the performance.

But the moment I opened my mouth, I suddenly remembered......

"Yesterday was the final championship game, and there is no show today."

The Emperor grunted to himself, stunned.

The eunuchs who served had ears longer than those of donkeys.

Hearing the movement on the dragon couch, Gao Gonggong stepped forward, bowed in front of the dragon couch, and whispered: "King Huai and the princess have been guarding outside the palace gate all night......"

The emperor was stunned, his expression seemed to have not woken up, "For the Chinese New Year, they don't go back to the house to sleep, what are they doing outside the palace gate?" ”

"I heard that yesterday, there was a fire in the west of the city, and Princess Huai was in the other courtyard where the fire broke out...... And he was kidnapped! Gao Gonggong lowered his voice.

The Emperor frowned, "Which yamen is handling this matter?" ”

"The Criminal Department has arrested someone, and I heard that there will be a 'three-division trial'." Gao Gong is fair.

The emperor snorted lightly, "This must be Chen'er's idea, he now looks at his princess like an eyeball!" ”

"The Holy One wants to summon you?"

"Nope! Early in the morning...... Since the Criminal Department has arrested someone, Princess Huai can stay outside all night, and it seems that there is no big problem.

"Tell them to go back, and when the trial is over, I will appease him!"

The emperor waved his hand, a little lazy and a little indifferent.

Gao Gonggong wanted to retreat, but suddenly a little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few times in Gao Gonggong's ear.

Gao Gonggong's face changed in shock, his legs were weak, and he knelt down.

The emperor was also stunned by him.

"Your Majesty, Princess Huai said......"
