old friends return

"Go to the eldest prince's mansion." Liu Qingyan opened the sedan chair curtain and instructed the boy driving outside. It would be interesting if things were really as he guessed.

In this case, it is better to let them fight each other.

He thought that Cheng Muzhi would be happy to watch such a change.

"Koukou—" He stood in front of Cheng Muze's mansion and knocked on the door. Not long after, a servant came out to open the door. Liu Qingyan smiled, "Please inform the eldest prince that there is someone outside the door asking to see you."

The boy agreed, and soon came out to lead him in again.

Cheng Muze was in the study, Liu Qingyan was a little surprised when he entered, but Li Xiu was not there.You know, Li Xiu, as Cheng Muze's most trusted and capable counselor, is almost inseparable from Cheng Muze, not to mention that he is here to see him now.

"His Royal Highness is well." Liu Qingyan saluted him.

"Forget it," Cheng Muze lay back on the Grand Master's chair, "This hall is about to look for you, but you came to this hall first, I don't know if we came here for the same thing."

"I don't think so." Liu Qingyan saw that he didn't intend to let him sit down, so he had to stand all the time, but the smile on his face never faded.

"I really want to know, when did you have such a good relationship with the prince? So good that you lived in the same bedroom every day in Cangzhou?" Cheng Muze smiled, he didn't have [-]% trust in Liu Qingyan, but this time in Cangzhou Things made him more suspicious.

It doesn't matter if the assassination was unsuccessful, but the assassins were all caught and confessed themselves, and the two Cangzhou officials sided with Cheng Muzhi again.

He couldn't guarantee that Emperor Hengde really trusted him as much as before.Although this doesn't affect his future plans so much, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Oh, it really was because of this matter, but fortunately he was able to hold his breath, and it took so long to bring it up.

"Your Highness, you should know that the crown prince has always been careful, and he may have discovered the connection between us. He lives with the lower official every day, but he just takes the lower official as a hostage for peace of mind. "

"If His Highness doesn't believe in the lower officials, no matter how much the lower officials explain it, it will be futile. The lower officials think that His Highness will understand the twists and turns."

Cheng Muze didn't speak, and kept tapping his fingers on the desk, as if he was thinking about the credibility of his words.

But Liu Qingyan didn't want him to spend any more time on this topic, so he said, "By the way, Your Highness, you probably don't know about Concubine Yan Gui, are you happy?"

There was a moment of sluggishness in Cheng Muze's eyes, and his pupils suddenly dilated, "What? How do you know?"

"Oh, the official just came back from the palace. It's a coincidence that the official's sedan chair collided with the imperial concubine, which almost caused a catastrophe."

"The imperial doctor is here, and he checked it himself." Liu Qingyan raised his eyes to see his expression, and there was a trace of teasing in his eyes.

Cheng Muze suddenly got up from the grand master's chair, walked to Liu Qingyan's side, and raised his chin abruptly, "Didn't you tell this hall that father, the emperor, will never have any more heirs?"

"Then where did this child, the concubine mother, come from?" Speaking of this, an unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Liu Qingyan looked at the wonderful expression on his face with satisfaction, and said slowly: "Yes, I have followed your orders, Your Majesty will never have any dragon heirs again."

Murdering the emperor's heir is not only something that concubines in the harem will do, it can also be used in the previous dynasty.And it is more ruthless and thorough than the women in the harem.

They usually only fight for the favor of pregnant concubines, but these princes of the previous dynasty, in order to avoid someone threatening their status or competing with them for the throne in the future, they chose to directly cut off the emperor's heir.

On this point, Liu Qingyan is very happy to see it succeed.

Emperor Hengde, the father, doesn't know what he will be like after he understands these things.

"The lower official is also very curious," Liu Qingyan pushed away his hand pinching his chin, "that's why I came here to let you know, lest you have another cheap brother."

"Nonsense!" Cheng Muze flicked his sleeves, his face turned pale, he really didn't expect Concubine Yan Gui to come up with such a way to win favor.

If that child is really not Emperor Hengde's, then if it is found that it is a crime of messing up the palace, then not only Concubine Yan Gui will suffer, but he will also be implicated.

Really...

Liu Qingyan watched coldly from the sidelines, the words "dirty and chaotic palace" appeared too many times, Concubine Yan Gui used this method to force Empress Lin to death, and later that male favorite Xu Buyun was also executed for having an affair with a court lady , Even the master who brought the maid to serve fell out of favor because of this.

This led to the situation where Yan Huiqian, the harem, alone received the grace of God.

Now, these four words fell on her head again, how would she feel?

"Your Highness, don't be so anxious to make a conclusion. If it is really the emperor's heir, it is a good thing. You can pay more attention to it, but don't create a rift with the imperial concubine because of this, otherwise, it will be the crime of dismissing the official." gone."

Cheng Muze looked at him, and for some reason, his heart became more angry. He always had a feeling that the person in front of him was no longer trustworthy.

Coming out of Cheng Muze's mansion, the sedan chair was still waiting outside, he said: "Go back to Shangshu's mansion first, I have other things to do today, you can go back later by yourself."

"Yes." The young man carried the sedan chair and quickly responded.

He returned according to the road and chose another road to the Prince's Mansion.

It was already late at night, and so many things happened in just three hours, no one would have expected it.

I don't know if Mu Zhi has fallen asleep.

Just as Liu Qingyan was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened. Cheng Muzhi stood behind the door and held his hand to let him in.

Liu Qingyan was surprised: "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

Cheng Muzhi said: "Just now the dark guard informed me that you are coming, so I got up to pick you up. Why did you come back suddenly? But what happened?"

"Well, there are some things." Liu Qingyan whispered, and told him about these things, including what he just went to Cheng Muze's residence.

"So, Yan Huiqian is going to take a risk."

Just as Liu Qingyan was about to answer, there was a knock on the door outside, and Cheng Muzhi said, "Come in."

The person who came in was Qiao Zuo. He walked quickly to Cheng Muzhi's side and said a few words.

Cheng Muzhi nodded, with a serious expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Liu Qingyan asked him.

"The news just came that the two officials who were detained in Dali Temple died."

"The emperor's hand is moved."
