Wan Shufang faced Chen Xiyun's concerned look and smiled bitterly: "Your father and I don't know when we will be released from this prison."

Chen Xiyun's heart tightened when he heard this: "If His Majesty doesn't speak, will you be locked up here forever?"

She couldn't accept this, and her expression turned ugly.

"What has Your Majesty been dealing with in the past few days? Has the General's Mansion been implicated?" Chen Changli noticed that Chen Xiyun's expression was not good and deliberately diverted her attention.

When Chen Xiyun was asked, a trace of confusion flashed across her face.

Zhao Xu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has finished handling the matter of Prince Duan and the two, and sent people to chase the Sixth Prince. However, the civil and military officials felt that the new emperor was dead and the country could not live without a king for a day, so they specially asked Your Majesty to sit down again. The throne."

"Your Majesty did not refuse. He is now your Majesty who has great power." After saying this, Zhao Xu deliberately lowered his voice, and then said, "When your Majesty ascended the throne again, he overturned all the decrees of that person and activated it. previous decree.”

"The civil and military officials are also very happy, but they helped His Majesty handle a lot of trivial matters in two days. Now things in Luoyang City are on the right track."

"Only the matter between the Eighth Prince and Princess An Qing has not made much progress, and it's not because I have no intentions. On the contrary, I have put all my efforts into it, but Princess An Qing is like a saw-mouthed gourd and doesn't say anything. When the Eighth Prince heard about it, Something happened to Concubine De, and she even clamored to see His Majesty."

"I've been having a headache because of their troubles. I really wanted to avoid them these days, but they had secrets on them, so I had to go and interrogate them."

Zhao Xu felt a headache when he mentioned the two Princess An Qing.

He stretched out his hand to rub his forehead and felt much better. He said, "Chen Changli, it turns out that in the chaos a few days ago, not only Liang Fei's people were involved, but even De Fei was also killed. His Majesty was very angry about this matter. , specially asked me to find out the matter."

"I only found out that the new emperor has indeed reached a cooperation with Concubine De. Unfortunately, Concubine De only wants the eighth prince to leave Luoyang City. As for what will happen to the new emperor, she doesn't care at all, so when the new emperor arranged a drama to invite you to the urn. , Concubine De specially asked her people to use this matter to escape from Luoyang City. "

"When the palace fell into chaos, Concubine De's people wanted to save her and take her away with them, but Concubine De was poisoned and died, and they had no choice but to leave on their own."

"The gates of Luoyang City are supposed to be tightly guarded. No one can open the gates. The general who didn't want to guard the gates has long been bribed by the Eighth Prince. As soon as De Fei's people came out, they opened the gates and fled."

"It is precisely because they opened the way in front that the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince were able to successfully lead people out of Luoyang City."

"His Majesty knew that everything was caused by Concubine De, and lost his temper. Listening to His Majesty's anger, I almost felt like I was being burned to ashes."

Although Zhao Xu's last sentence was a bit exaggerated, his experiences during this period were too frightening.

"Why did Concubine De die? Since she cooperated with the new emperor, shouldn't she be protected when she followed the new emperor?" Wan Shufang was confused after hearing what Zhao Xu said.

Chen Changli hit the nail on the head: "It's the queen, she killed Concubine De."

Wan Shufang was stunned for a moment, and then she thought that after the Crown Princess pleaded for her in front of the emperor, the Queen rushed over with a group of people. She thought that it was then that she went to find Concubine De and killed her.

"When Concubine De dies, doesn't it mean that some of the Queen's past will be buried." Wan Shufang suddenly thought of this and felt unwilling to do so.

The Queen is very self-righteous, she and the Crown Princess have offended her.

If the queen holds a grudge and the emperor is supporting her, how can the two of them be rivals?

"The Queen's past is not important. What is important is what Your Majesty thinks. So far, Your Majesty has no intention of letting the Queen break up with him."

Listening to Wan Shufang's words, Chen Changli knew what she was thinking, thinking that Duke Chengen had been warned by the emperor when he mentioned the past.

He then understood that it was always the emperor who was in charge of this matter. Whether it was Duke Chengen or the empress, they had to do things according to the emperor's wishes. Even if they complained about each other in the process, they could only resolve it privately and never dare to put it in front of the emperor. in front of.

Therefore, Chen Changli was sure that both the queen and Duke Chengen were involved in what happened back then. They had important clues that the emperor had grasped. If they didn't want to lose their lives, they could only obey the emperor's orders.

Of course, it is also possible that because the emperor would bring them huge benefits, they weighed the pros and cons before being willing to give their lives to the emperor.

When his thoughts turned here, Chen Changli thought of the case of Prince Mingde, which was tabooed by everyone.

Xu Qinglu said that Prince Mingde was harmed by someone, and the person who harmed him was the emperor, and he was harmed by rumors that his bloodline was doubtful.

But even so, the late emperor's attitude towards Prince Mingde was too cruel. As the successor to the throne chosen by the late emperor, the emperor should also pardon the people related to Prince Mingde to show his benevolence. Why should he keep treating him like this? This matter is considered taboo and no one is allowed to talk about it.

Could it be that the suspicion of bloodline is true, but this person is not Prince Myingde, but someone else.

Chen Changli was shocked. He was a little frightened by the speculation in his mind and did not dare to think any further.

But this thought lingered all the time, and Chen Changli couldn't help but suspect that the possibility of this matter was very high, and the emperor's attitude might have been caused by this matter.

I just don’t know who the person whose bloodline is doubtful is. If it is the emperor, according to his temper, people like the empress and Duke Chengen who know the truth should not be alive. Is it possible that my guess is wrong?

Chen Changli quickly put aside his suspicions, glanced at Zhao Xu inexplicably, and said, "Concubine De has a good relationship with Princess An Qing. If you don't have a breakthrough with Princess An Qing, you might as well go after Concubine De."

"The Eighth Prince is at Dali Temple. Wouldn't it be more convenient to interrogate him?" Zhao Xu looked confused.

Chen Changli sneered: "If there was a breakthrough with the Eighth Prince, you wouldn't mention him in front of me."

A bitter smile appeared on Zhao Xu's lips: "He is a prince after all. After Your Majesty lost two princes, his existence becomes even more important. Although I have the means to make him tell the truth, I dare not use it. ah."

This is indeed a problem. Chen Changli thought for a while and said: "I suggest you take advantage of the queen."

"Are you crazy?" Zhao Xu disapproved.

Wan Shufang shouted at him coldly: "Chen Changli is trying to help you find a way. If you don't accept this or that, then what do you want to do? Could it be that you want Chen Changli to escape from prison and go out to help you?"

Chen Xiyun was also very dissatisfied: "Mr. Zhao, my father's situation at the moment is not as good as yours. You have to do your own thing. Don't bother my father."
