What the eldest prince Gu Fan didn't expect was that he didn't have to think of anything to say, and his father didn't give himself a chance to explain at all.

When he heard the words of the Queen Mother:

"The emperor will go back first. ”

Then he looked up in trepidation, and saw that his father was like a disgusting fly, twisting his head, and only waved his hand impatiently at himself.

Leaving Kunning Palace, leaving the inner courtyard of the palace, standing in front of the Taihe Gate, raising his head and looking at the magnificent buildings in the twilight in front of him for a while, the eldest prince Gu Fan knew in his heart that he was getting farther and farther away from the throne that everyone coveted, and he was getting farther and farther away from becoming the master of these splendid palaces.

did not go back to his Qin Wang's Mansion, but went straight to the Taishi's Mansion.

knew that his hopes were getting smaller and smaller, but Gu Fan was always unwilling. Be careful, what is the reason for trembling for so many years, isn't it just that one day you will be made the crown prince and one day sit on the throne above ten thousand people?

has always been under the orders of his grandfather Liu Shiqing, who is a prince, and has come to this day step by step, Gu Fan wants to ask what he should do next and what he should do to get back what belongs to him.

In all dynasties, all of them were succeeded by the eldest son, so why did they change when they came to themselves?

Facing the pressure of the third prince Gu is and the sixth prince Gu Tong, the eldest prince Gu Fan, became more and more difficult to calm down and think about the problem.

Since returning to the Taishi Mansion from the imperial study, Liu Shiqing has played with a delicate, palm-sized crossbow in his hand, and has been locked in the study for a long time without saying a word.

The emperor's intention of letting the eunuch give him wide clothes was not just to humiliate himself. This small crossbow, which is rarely left and hidden at the waist, must have been seen by the emperor. Although there is still underwear to cover it, but the abnormality that clearly protrudes from the waist, as long as you are not blind, even if you can't guess that it is a crossbow, you will think that it is a weapon.

Liu Shiqing didn't know if the emperor hadn't turned around and left immediately, but continued to let the great eunuch Hu Jing take off his underwear, he would have been able to hold back.

What is the sin of entering the palace with a murder weapon, especially the hidden murder weapon?

Liu Shiqing knows too well.

Who was it that not only reported his every move to the emperor, but even told the emperor about this powerful crossbow that was so secret?

Although this crossbow almost never leaves his body, he can't forget to take it down temporarily every time he enters the palace. Only this time, I forgot it for a while, and it happened to be seen by the emperor.

"Is it really a coincidence?"

Liu Shiqing shook his head suddenly, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor had known that he had such a sharp weapon with him, he would never have been dressed by the great eunuch Hu Jing in the imperial study.

I forgot it for the first time and was seen by the emperor, was it my bad luck, or was the emperor suspicious?

As the imperial master, through decades of contact with the emperor Gu Shu, Liu Shiqing knows very well that this seemingly peaceful emperor is actually a powerful character who is very scheming and never lets outsiders see through his inner thoughts until a critical moment.

So what happened in the imperial study this evening, is the emperor planning to have a showdown with himself?

The key is that Liu Shiqing doesn't know how much the emperor knows about himself, which is the main reason why he feels uneasy.

If he didn't immediately find out the informant lurking beside him, Liu Shiqing understood that the day of the catastrophe was not far away. In other words, not only can the glory and wealth in front of him not be kept, but the plans of his painstaking management for more than ten or twenty years will be in vain.

How does this make Liu Shiqing willing?!

I silently counted the names of the people who knew that they had this powerful crossbow over and over again, and there were only seven people in the count. Mei Lan Zhuju four favorite concubines, and then the eldest prince Gu Fan, the drunken Xi Shi Jin'er girl, and Zeng Ying, a little drama who just married a few days after entering the door.

Naturally, Liu Shiqing ruled out the suspicion of Gu Fan and Ling Jin.

Everything is obedient, and his nephew, the eldest prince Gu Fan, is impossible to tell the emperor in any way. As for Ling Jin, he had only seen this crossbow once, and he had always lived in the Qin Palace, and he almost didn't know anything about the affairs in the Taishi Mansion. Moreover, she had neither reason nor way to tell the emperor. Although he was recognized as a cousin by his daughter Liu Yanran and occasionally had the opportunity to enter the palace, Liu Shiqing didn't believe that Ling Jin would have the opportunity to pass on a message to the emperor.

As for Zeng Ying, the little drama that the emperor just brought in, that is, the emperor asked about in the imperial study, it is even more impossible. It's only been a few days since I came, and I haven't even recognized the roads in the Taishi's mansion, let alone people.

What's more, when he was asked to sleep every night, Liu Shiqing was also very concerned, and never went to Zeng Ying's room, but in his bedroom. No matter which woman it was her turn to sleep, Liu Shiqing would loosen her clothes in advance and pack up some confidential things before ordering someone to pass them in.

Just like when the emperor announced the concubine's bedtime every day, Liu Shiqing also began to try to write his woman's name on the wooden card, and chose the woman who went to bed every night.

"Could it be that among the four sluts, there are henchmen installed by the emperor?"

Liu Shiqing carefully recalled the origins of the four daughters of Meilan Zhuju one by one, all of them were clearly investigated in advance, and it was impossible for a woman with a clean net worth to have anything to do with the emperor or the imperial court.

couldn't figure it out, Liu Shiqing even thought carefully about the few girls who served him closely, but still didn't get anything.

As long as you can find the person who told the emperor about the crossbow, it is not difficult to know how many secrets the emperor knows. Although he couldn't think of who that person was for a while, Liu Shiqing had already made a plan in his heart, and in the next period of time, even if he turned over the entire Taishi Mansion, he must find out this dangerous person.

Seeing that the light in the room had completely dimmed, Liu Shiqing stood up and walked to the window, and couldn't help but look at the crossbow in his hand.

From this, I suddenly remembered the master of the crossbow who is still locked up in the water prison of Liufu in Shuntian Mansion, one of the six top figures in martial arts today, known as the eldest of the three apprentices of Ouyang Yuheng under Xuanji Xing, and Lang Qingjiang, nicknamed "Jade-faced Merry Flower Crossbowman" in the rivers and lakes, Liu Shiqing will inevitably get angry.

First, he tried his best to get the iron condensation of pure yin physique, but before he could enjoy it, Wu Zheng left. thus offended the Tie family, the head of the four major families of martial arts, and made a strong opponent for himself.

Ben wanted to subdue Lang Qingjiang for his own use, but he never expected that Lang Qingjiang, who seemed to be suave and witty, would never be moved by the temptation of beauty or wealth. It is better to suffer from the water prison than to be annexed. Kill and be reluctant, let it go but can't let it go, it really makes Liu Shiqing embarrassed.

"Taishi, the eldest prince has arrived. ”

Looking at Chang Yunong, the respectful housekeeper standing outside the window, he was stunned for a moment before he spoke:

"Yes, please. (To be continued.) )
