So, in the following days, Chu Mo kept calling himself sick and hiding in the prince's mansion, almost without leaving the door.

For this reason, Emperor Chu also specially sent the imperial doctors in the palace to diagnose and treat Chu Mo, but those imperial doctors were all stopped outside the house by Li Jin, and they didn't even see Chu Mo's face.

His actions, in the eyes of the eldest prince Chu Sheng and the fourth prince Chu Yu, were completely delaying time, and it is estimated that he has not thought of a way to solve this trouble.

Seeing that Chu Mo had been a turtle with a shrunken head for a few days, Chu Yu ran to Chu Sheng again, as if he was celebrating with him in advance Chu Mo's abolition and the new prince's smooth accession to the throne.

If Chu Mo is really deposed, then among the many princes, the people who are most likely to become the new crown prince are Chu Sheng and Chu Yu.

Moreover, whether it is according to seniority or from the perspective of supporters from all sides, Chu Sheng's winning rate is far above Chu Yu, so this time, Chu Sheng always looks like he has a chance to win.

At the same time, in the Prince's Mansion, Xue Xue sneaked into Chu Mo's room, wearing men's clothes.

As soon as he saw the snow coming in, Chu Mo immediately asked her, "How is it?"

Xue Xue nodded slightly, quickly took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and said with a smug smile: "That Wang Huzi really kept his word, not only gave enough of the 100,000 taels seized before, but also gave an extra 20,000 taels, as a thank you for the big news that His Highness sold him." ”

Chu Mo nodded with satisfaction, but did not take the money, but pointed to Li Jin next to him, and said: "Gonggong Li, it seems that there are more than a dozen things pressed in the pawnshop in the mansion, right? ”

Those things were still Chu Mo who was suffering from lack of money to start a business, so he was forced to take the things rewarded by the Chu Emperor to mortgage them for money.

Now that he has earned millions of taels of silver, he naturally wants to redeem those royal gifts, so as not to fall into the mouth of the tongue in the future, after all, it is not a glorious thing to mortgage the royal gifts.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Jin agreed and went to redeem things with the silver.

Only then did Chu Mo stand up, finally left his room, walked to the courtyard outside, and called a few guards to come over to accompany him to practice martial arts.

He has been suffocated in the room for the past few days, but he has been suffocated, and now that the money is in hand, Chu Mo can finally no longer take the trouble to hide in the room and pretend to be sick.

After practicing with the guards in the house for a few hours, and sweating, Chu Mo took the opportunity to take a comfortable hot bath, and the tiredness accumulated in the past few days was suddenly swept away.

Lying in bed, I quickly fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Before Li Jin could call him, Chu Mo woke up and asked someone to bring hot water to wash.

Then immediately took Li Jin, sat in the carriage of the prince's mansion, and swaggered towards the palace.

On the street, some people who got up early saw the carriage of the prince's mansion heading towards the palace, and they all started talking about it, all waiting to see this stupid prince make a fool of himself.

And when Chu Mo and Li Jin came to the palace, there were only three or three ministers waiting there in the palace, and the others had not yet entered the palace.

Chu Mo had no choice but to wait outside the main hall with Li Jin, waiting for Hong Sifeng to summon them into the hall.

As time passed, more and more ministers arrived in front of the hall, and every minister who came here showed a surprised expression on his face when he saw Chu Mo, and then immediately came to the other people's side and talked in a low voice.

It's just that so many ministers arrived early, but none of them came to salute Chu Mo, and they all felt that he would be a waste prince in a few days, and they couldn't come to please him again.

Chu Mo stood there quietly, too lazy to see these people who saw the wind and turned the rudder and tended to be inflammatory.

He thought that when he arrived at the court, no one would come to greet him. Unexpectedly, after An Guogong arrived here, he immediately walked towards him.

"The old minister meets His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Chu Mo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "An Guogong doesn't have to be polite. ”

An Rushan nodded slightly, then glanced left and right, and whispered to Chu Mo: "Your Highness, you haven't been to the court for the past few days, but you know that the current situation in the court is very unfavorable to you." Your Highness has a way to deal with it?"

"An Guogong, please rest assured, Lone is here to Liwei today. Chu Mo smiled faintly.

An Rushan breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Seeing that His Highness is so calm, then the old minister doesn't have to worry anymore." ”

After chatting for a few words, An Rushan ran to stand with the other ministers, Chu Mo's reputation is too bad now, even An Guogong, who is a first-class in the dynasty, does not dare to blatantly state his position.

Soon, Hong Sifeng came to summon and invited hundreds of civil and military officials to enter the hall and wait for the court.

When the ministers entered the main hall one after another, Chu Mo, who was standing in the front row, finally saw the eldest prince Chu Sheng and the fourth prince Chu Yu, so he squeezed in the middle of the ministers and entered the main hall.

In the past, when they met in the court, Chu Sheng and Chu Yu would not say more than half a word to Chu Mo, but this time, they saw Chu Mo enter the main hall first, and the two of them walked straight towards him.

"I heard that the prince was very sick a few days ago, and he has been bedridden and has not been able to see the wind. I wonder if the prince's illness is cured now?" Chu Sheng asked him with a smile.

Chu Mo raised his head, glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "Is the imperial brother infected with an eye disease, or is his brain not working?

"You ......" Chu Sheng glared at him, about to get angry.

Chu Yu hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him in a low voice: "Brother Huang, don't fall for his plan, let him be happy for a while and a half, just wait for a while in the court, there is him good-looking." ”

Chu Sheng nodded silently, then snorted at Chu Mo, shook his hand and walked to the side.

The corners of Chu Mo's mouth twitched, and he didn't take them in his eyes at all from beginning to end.

It didn't take long for Hong Sifeng to shout at the top of his voice, and the ministers stood up one after another, none of them dared to make a sound, and then saluted Emperor Chu in unison.

As soon as Emperor Chu shouted, 'Excuse me from courtesy', Liu Shutong, who was standing behind, couldn't wait to stand up and took the initiative to play: "Your Majesty, now that the prince has gone to court, he argued about the falsification of the prince's poems a few days ago, and he should be able to continue the interrogation." ”

Emperor Chu frowned, and there was a trace of displeasure on his face, but for a while, he had no way to take Liu Shutong.

In addition, after Liu Shutong stood up, several ministers next to him immediately seconded the proposal.

Emperor Chu looked at Chu Mo and saw that he looked calm, so he allowed Liu Shutong's report.

"Okay, since the prince is cured today, he can come to the court. That's just in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, let's try the first trial, what is going on with the falsification of this poem. ”

After speaking, Emperor Chu looked at Chu Mo again and asked, "Prince, now that Liu Shu and Lord Liu have accused you of falsifying your poems, what do you have to defend against this?"
