Zhongjing Prefecture.

Hua Ren'an read the secret letter and slowly put the letter back on the table. He trembled and couldn't speak for a long time.

Yu Zhong and the others were also heavy and didn't say a word.

"Why is it here, why is it here!" Hua Ren'an's voice trembled.

What was the content of this letter that shocked everyone so much......

His Majesty King Bac Ninh:

I left my post for some reason, but fortunately I have arranged for a henchman to succeed me.

What we discussed before remains unchanged, and the prince of the Southern Han Dynasty will arrive on Jingbei Left Road on time.

At that time, our border army will closely cooperate with the actions of the Bac Ninh army, and after the matter is completed, we will provide money and food.

I also hope that His Majesty the King of Bac Ninh will retreat fifty miles as promised.

In the future, our two countries will be reconciled as before, and the border will be opened to mutual markets.

Chen Jing, the Taishi of the Southern Han Dynasty

"Master Hua, this matter is no longer up to you and me to decide, so let's listen to the heavens as soon as possible. Gui Ming said.

"Chen Nahai is defeated, the news will soon be transmitted back to the Taishi Mansion, and there are some things that adults still have to exercise their rights and interests. Xie Huchen continued.

Hua Ren'an was silent for a while, and said: "Xie Zhizhou is right, we will first send people to surround the Taishi Mansion, prohibit people from entering and leaving, and wait for the emperor's decree to deal with it." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhong was sad on the side, and secretly worried about Jin Luoyi in his heart, only hoping that she would not be implicated in this matter again.

"Xie Zhizhou, under the deputy commander, I still bother you to follow me into the palace to face the saint. Yu Shaoxia, it is inconvenient for you to enter the palace without an official position, so I will trouble you to go to the Taishi Mansion. Hua Renan said.

This arrangement is exactly what Yu Zhong wants, and if there is any accident on the Taishi Mansion's side, he can also provide some help.

Palace.

"Second Highness, the next person came to report that Lord Yin Hua of Zhongjing Mansion has entered the palace to face the saint. The eunuch reported back.

Ji Lie was still playing Go with his left hand and right hand, and he didn't seem surprised at all when he looked at the look on his face.

It seems that Chen Jing can't get over this hurdle. Ji Lie said.

"Commander Chen of Long Xiangwei was shot dead on the spot because he resisted arrest. The eunuch said again.

"This person is arrogant and rude, and sooner or later this will be the end. Let's wait and see what happens. Ji Lie said as he landed another piece on the chessboard.

On the other side, there was a panicked atmosphere up and down the Taishi Mansion.

Chen Jing knew in his heart that Chen Nahai had been out for a while, and if things went well, he should have returned home. I haven't come back yet, I'm afraid there was an accident.

But he is still quite confident in Chen Nahai's skills, and even if he encounters any unexpected situation, he can get out of it at worst. Only this time, he miscalculated.

Suddenly there was a noise outside the gate, and a housekeeper ran in in a panic.

"Master Taishi, it's not good, there are many officers and soldiers from outside the door, and the courtyard is surrounded. Jia Ding said breathlessly.

Chen Jing sat down on the chair like five thunderbolts. He understands that the East Window incident has passed. The dignified master, the official residence of the first product of the dynasty, if there is no solid evidence, who dares to send troops to besiege the mansion, which proves that Chen Nahai has had an accident.

The people in the courtyard didn't know what was going on, and there was a lot of discussion.

"What nonsense are you all talking about, you are all scattered. Chen Hu dispersed the people who were talking in the courtyard and walked into the house.

I saw that Chen Jing seemed to suddenly grow old in an instant, and he was no longer as energetic as before, like a deflated ball.

"Grandpa, are you alright? Chen Hu asked.

"Hu'er, it was me and your father who hurt you, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, I will definitely find a way to protect your family." Chen Jing said with a sad face.

Chen Hu didn't speak, he knew that if Chen Jingdu was so flustered, something big must have happened in his family.

Palace.

"Second Highness......" The eunuch walked in again.

"How is it, is there any news from the Taiji Palace?" asked Ji Lie.

"The emperor was furious and ordered that all the people in the Taishi Mansion be detained, and the case should be tried in person. The eunuch replied.

"What is the reason exactly?" asked Ji Lie again.

The eunuch stepped forward and whispered to Ji Lie: "Back to the Second Highness, I heard that it is a great crime of rebellion, and Taishi Chen wants to unite with the people of Beining to assassinate the prince who is patrolling the armaments outside. ”

Ji Lie was stunned, and the chess pieces in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"He really dares to do it, he thinks that he has assisted his father to ascend the throne, and this royal matter can be controlled by him? Ridiculous, I am not my father, and I will not be at his mercy. Ji Lie shook his head and said.

"Will he implicate the Second Highness? The eunuch said again.

"I just promised him to help me fight for the slot, but I never let him do such a big thing. What's more, he did it more for himself. Ji Lie said.

"No wonder His Royal Highness also appointed the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard to investigate this matter, which is really clever. You must know that the Imperial Dragon Guard has the trust of the emperor, and if you really want to verify it, knowing that you are also investigating this matter, you will only praise you for your foresight. The eunuch flattered.

"He wants to use his henchmen to get involved in the military power of my Southern Han Border Army, and he uses the sword of the people of Bac Ninh to murder his eldest brother. If the plan succeeds, he will take charge of the Taiji Hall towards me, and the military and political power will be in his hands, I am just a puppet, will I be so stupid. Ji Lie said coldly.

"The Second Highness is wise, now that Chen Jing has fallen, Chen Nahai has died, and the power of the Chen family that has been operating in the court for many years has been overturned, and the rest of the people who want to seek refuge can only find the Second Highness. The eunuch smiled flatteringly.

"You find someone to bring a message to Chen Jing, I heard that his granddaughter-in-law is pregnant, and now only I can save the life of his grandson's family, as for himself, he can only blame himself for being careless. Ji Lie said.

"The minions obeyed. The eunuch bowed his head and went backwards.

"Hmph, Chen Jing, you are smart, and I am not stupid. It's a pity, but it would have been nice if your plan had succeeded. Ji Lie shook his head and sighed.

At this time, the Taishi Mansion has been surrounded by water, and the decline of the once wealthy mansion is only a matter of moments.

Yu Zhong walked into the courtyard, his eyes were full of gloomy, and the people knew that the catastrophe was coming, and they were all packing their bags.

Suddenly, he froze. In the flow of people shuttling back and forth, a familiar figure stood opposite.

"Are you alright?" asked Yu Zhong as he walked up to her.

"It's okay...... Brother Yu, I'm ......" Jin Luoyi lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly.

Looking at her slightly bulging lower abdomen, Yu Zhong understood everything, which was one of the reasons why she had to marry Chen Hu.

"Don't say anything, I don't blame you. Yu Zhong said softly stroking her head.

Suddenly, Chen Hu walked over, and when he saw these two people, he couldn't help but tremble and stood in place. Looking at Yu Zhong and Jin Luoyi's eyes again, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly turned around and ran back to the study, picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote something.

"Is there something wrong?" Jin Luoyi asked.

Yu Zhong couldn't help but sigh secretly, Jin Luoyi had just experienced a great change in his family for less than a year, and now his husband's family had committed another major case of rebellion, and it was a pity that a woman's fate had turned upside down.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and there seemed to be a lot of words in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start.

Suddenly, only a "poof" sound was heard, which startled both of them. Yu Zhong turned his head to look and saw Chen Hu kneeling in front of him.

"Chen Gongzi, what are you doing here?" Yu Zhong hurriedly helped with his hand.

"This big brother, I know it's my fault, but I really love Luo Yi deeply. Now that our Taishifu is in a catastrophe, this is the letter of resignation I just wrote. Luo Yi is innocent, and I beg my eldest brother to save her life for the sake of her and the child in her belly. ”

After speaking, Chen Hu kept kowtowing on the ground.

"Hurry up, what are you doing? Jin Luoyi pulled Chen Hu's collar, tears raining down, I don't know whether she was sad or moved. She didn't expect that Chen Hu would give up his dignity for her, regardless of the gold on his knees.

Yu Zhongxin was originally soft, and when he saw such a scene, he became chivalrous for a while, and the crime committed by Chen Jing had nothing to do with Jin Luoyi.

"Chen Gongzi, I promise you. Don't worry, I will escort Luo Yi out safely. He took Chen Hu's letter of resignation and helped him up.

"Thank you, big brother, thank you. Chen Hu said as he knelt down and kowtowed. Where can Yu Zhong stand this, and hurriedly stops it.

I saw Chen Hu take a burden from his subordinates, and there was also a sword carried by Jin Luoyi in it.

"Madam, maybe today is the farewell of you and me, you must take care of our children, if I still have a life in the future, I will definitely go to find you. Chen Hu couldn't say anything.

In this situation, the people on the side couldn't stand it and cried.

Yu Zhong knew that if he waited for the emperor's will to arrive, it would be difficult to leave. He ruthlessly interrupted the farewell scene, took Jin Luoyi's hand, and walked towards the gate.

Chen Hu sat on the ground behind his back, crying bitterly.

Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers at the gate stretched out their hands to stop the two.

"Yu Shaoxia, Huada said, no one in the Taishi Mansion is allowed to go out. ”

"She is no longer from the Taishi Mansion at the moment, but my friend, as evidenced by the resignation. Yu Zhong said.

"Yu Shaoxia, this ...... Not quite right. The officers and soldiers at the gate were also embarrassed.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

"What's inappropriate, she's not from the Taishi Mansion, she has nothing to do with this matter, what responsibility is there, I'll take it. Gui Ming said loudly.

It turned out that they had received the emperor's decree and came to issue the decree.

"This ......" The officers and soldiers guarding the door looked at Hua Ren'an, who had not yet had time to dismount.

"What the deputy commander said is right, I waited for the emperor's holy decree to come to take down the Taishi Mansion and commit a crime, as for irrelevant bystanders and subordinates, there is no need to be embarrassed. Hua Ren'an is also willing to sell this favor.

"Yes, Yu Shaoxia, please!" the officers and soldiers guarding the door let the two go.
