There are always so many coincidences in the world. In the riding and archery class, Chu Yi just said that he was worried about the prince, but soon after Cheng Zian taught her archery, Zhang Dai sent a message, saying that the Chonghua Palace, which had been closed under martial law for more than half a month, was finally here. Unbanned.

Chu Yi was surprised. She wasn't sure whether the prince and the old emperor were planning something in the previous half month, or it was simply Xu Ze who was detoxifying the prince and recuperating his body.However, the ban on Chonghua Hall was finally lifted, and she had to go there no matter what.

So after the riding and archery class, Chu Yi didn't even change his riding clothes, so he led his two companions to Chonghua Hall.

Cheng Zian and Li Lin have also heard for a long time that His Royal Highness knows people, but they have always regretted that they never met each other.Compared with the prince, they are still a few years behind. When they grow up, Chu Zhao already has enough staff under him. In addition, he is not in good health, so he has been out of the palace in recent years. It's also missing, the two of them just heard their names but didn't see their people.

Chu Yi took two companions to the Chonghua Palace. Along the way, there seemed to be a lot fewer guards on patrol. However, because Mao Zaier had been here before, Chu Yi glanced lightly and quickly found out. The guards in the dark—the guards of the entire Chonghua Palace seem to have relaxed, but in fact they are still loose on the outside and tight on the inside, never relaxing at all.

Of course, no matter how strict the guards in Chonghua Palace are, they will no longer prevent Chu Yi from meeting the prince.She led Cheng Zian, Li Lin, and a group of other palace officials and drove straight in until she reached the door of Chu Zhao's bedroom, where she was stopped by a servant: "Your Highness, please move to the main hall. Now His Royal Highness is not in the bedroom, but in the main hall."

Chu Yi was taken aback when she heard the words. Although she didn't come to Chonghua Hall many times, she had never been to the main hall. Low, someone who needs formal treatment.

Chonghua Hall was lifted just now, and she just got the news. Who came faster than her? !

Chu Yi was not in a hurry to go to the main hall, but asked the little servant one more time: "Brother Huang recovered from his illness just now, and someone came to visit?"

This is not something that cannot be said, so the little servant also answered happily: "It is a few princes who came to visit. The New Year is over, and they will leave Beijing in a few days and go back to the land of the vassal. After that, there was no time, and they all came over when they received the news."

At first, Chu Yi thought it was someone from the harem who came to visit. There were many people who came or the prince had a normal relationship with them, so he went to the main hall to receive them.Unexpectedly, it was several vassal kings who came... She was practicing riding and archery in the school grounds of the Eastern Palace, and came here without any delay after getting the news, but these vassal kings who lived outside the palace came faster than her. Are they well-informed, or are they really not valued by others?

Cheng Zian and Li Lin were not stupid either. They looked at each other and thought of the key point, and they also had their own ideas in their hearts.

Li Lin leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, shall we still go to the main hall?"

Chu Yi didn't hesitate, raised his chin slightly to signal the little servant to lead the way, and then followed: "Why didn't you go? It was a hectic last time when I sacrificed to heaven, and I didn't know these uncles and relatives before. The next time there is the emperor brother, I just ask him to introduce it for you."

So Li Lin didn't say much anymore, and he and Cheng Zian followed Chu Yi to the main hall.

The main hall of Chonghua Palace is not far away, after a group of people arrived, the little servant came in to report.Standing outside the palace gate, Chu Yi straightened his riding clothes, then saw the little servant rushing out again, and invited several people in.

After half a month, when I saw His Highness the Crown Prince again, his face was still pale and his body was still weak.But after meeting Chu Yi, he put on a gentle smile again, gossiping like an ordinary elder brother: "Did the imperial sister just come back from the school?"

As soon as Chu Yi stepped into the main hall, he attracted the attention of everyone present.While they were looking at her, she also glanced at them indiscriminately—they were undoubtedly familiar faces. Among the five or six vassal kings, except for King Yanping, the rest belonged to the old emperor. The younger brother is her serious uncle, and besides the two of them, the closest person to the throne!

Unexpectedly, Chu Yi's eyes dimmed as he thought of the anti-kings who suddenly raised their flags and waved their troops in the previous life.But it was only a moment before she regained her composure, raised her hand and saluted His Highness the Crown Prince, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I was shooting arrows on the school grounds earlier, and when I heard Zhang Dai say that the emperor's brother had recovered, I rushed over Come here. I didn't have time to go back to the palace to change clothes, and I'm a bit shameless, please forgive me, Brother Huang."

His Royal Highness waved his hands when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "You and my brothers and sisters, why are you so cautious." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the several vassal kings sitting in the hall, beckoned Chu Yi to him, and then continued: " It's also a coincidence that you came here, and the emperor's uncles are also there, you probably haven't seen each other very much, and you just met this time, so that your family members don't know your family members in the future."

Chu Yi always felt that there was something in His Royal Highness's words. She wasn't sure if the prince had noticed the wolfish ambitions of these people, but as a princess who had just come out of the cold palace, she shouldn't know anything.

With some curious and cowardly glances across the crowd, Her Royal Highness leaned closer to His Highness the Prince as if afraid of life.

Chu Zhao didn't say anything, but raised his hand and patted Chu Yi's back lightly as if to comfort him.He still smiled gently, but he didn't miss the contempt that flashed in the eyes of those royal uncles in fine clothes and golden crowns.

"Ah Yi, this is the third uncle, titled King Qi, and granted the land of Quzhou." The crown prince pointed to the middle-aged man with a square face sitting in the lower left of the hall, who was almost young and dressed in a purple dress.

King Qi bowed slightly to Chu Yi when he heard the words, and he didn't express much, even a little arrogant on his face.He was also a prince, and now he is a powerful vassal. No matter how you look at it, his status is higher than that of a prince who came out of the cold palace.

Chu Yi opened his eyes, as if he didn't notice the other party's rudeness, instead he politely returned the salute and said, "Hello, third uncle."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at King Qi and said nothing, pointing to the younger man in the silver dress on the lower right who was obviously younger and continued to introduce: "Ah Yi, this is Uncle Qi, who is titled King Zhao and whose fief is appropriate. state."

With King Qi taking the lead, King Zhao's attitude was also average, but he raised his hand and saluted perfunctorily, obviously not paying attention to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi was still the same as before, politely returned a salute, and shouted: "Hi Uncle Qi."

Then the prince continued, introducing down according to the ranking: "Ah Yi, this is the eighth uncle, titled King Wei, and the fiefdom of Linzhou."

King Wei raised his hand, and Chu Yi replied, "Hello, Uncle Ba."

His Royal Highness waited for Chu Yi to return to the ceremony, and did not care about the attitude of the emperor's uncles, so he pointed to the white-faced bearded man who was sitting with King Qi, who was also the youngest of the emperor's uncles and introduced: " Ah Yi, this is Uncle Thirteen, titled King of Yue, and entrusted with Jiazhou."

King Yue seemed to be not much older than the crown prince, so he treated Chu Yi with a lot of politeness. He raised his hand and saluted politely, with a friendly smile on his face.After Chu Yi said "Hello Thirteenth Uncle" in return, he nodded slightly at Chu Yi.

All the uncles introduced him, and the prince finally introduced King Yanping.He looks older than these Uncle Wangs, and his figure is a bit out of shape, but in terms of seniority, he is actually the same generation as Chu Yi and the others.So when the prince introduced him, he didn't show off to Chu Yi, he stood up obediently and saluted, and then Chu Yi also saluted back.

Chu Yi saw all these people's demeanor, but even if today's incident hadn't happened, she knew everything she should know.The king of Qi is proud, the king of Zhao is violent, and the king of Wei is cunning. In the previous life, the king of Qi was the first to raise the flag of rebellion, and the king of Zhao followed closely behind. It was the king of Wei who was the first to attack the capital and the palace.

Because of what happened in the previous life, Chu Yi didn't like the three of them at first glance.As for King Yue and King Yanping, she didn't know much about them. In her previous life, King Yue seldom returned to Beijing, and she only heard that King Yue was quite talented. reputation.As for King Yanping, a family member with a small fiefdom and average power, she didn't even pay attention to it.

After His Royal Highness finished the introduction, King Qi opened his mouth first: "The prince was assassinated this time. Although he has recuperated for a long time, his health may have suffered a lot. The princess looks healthy, but it's a pity. Those years wasted in the cold palace, but Youdao can make up for one's weakness with diligence, I believe that in the future, I will be able to relieve the prince's worries."

Even though he said this, everyone could see the disapproval in King Qi's tone.

Chu Yi was not annoyed when he heard the words, but just stared at King Qi one more time.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also remained calm. He put one hand on Chu Yi's shoulder, still smiling gently: "Ah Yi is still young and can't take on the heavy responsibility, but I can wait for her to grow up."

After the words fell, King Qi didn't say anything, but took a deep look at the prince and Chu Yi.

The king of Yue saw that the atmosphere seemed to be a little bit bad, so he came out with a smile to smooth things over: "The princess looks very intelligent, and that day must not be too long. But I'm afraid we can't keep watching here. Your majesty has already issued an order. We are going back to the vassals in Japan, and I am afraid we will have to wait at least another year to see you again. This year, please take care of your health, the prince."

The crown prince nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yue Wang, don't worry, my father has already invited Xu Ze to take care of Gu's body. He is indeed the world-famous Xinglin master. It's just half a month's work, Gu already feels I feel much better."

A few days ago, the news of the Chonghua Palace was blocked so well that even King Qi and the others never got any news. At this time, when they first heard Xu Ze's name, everyone's eyes flickered slightly.But after all, they are all people who can hold their breath, and there is no emotion on their faces that they shouldn't have. After being startled, they all opened their mouths to congratulate.

His Royal Highness's smile remained unchanged, and he accepted all the congratulations lightly.It's just that after getting the news, these people didn't seem to have the intention to stay for a long time, and after a few more gossips, they all took their leave and left.

After everyone had left, Chu Yi tentatively said, "Brother Huang, these uncles...seem a little unhappy."

The crown prince raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and he raised his hand and patted Chu Yi's shoulder: "Don't worry about them, you just need to study hard with the Tai Tuo now. Brother Huang's health is not good, and Ah Yi has learned the skills from the Tai Tuo , but you will help me in the future."

Hearing this, Chu Yi knew that the prince probably really regarded her as a child who needed protection, and he didn't want her to know too much.But she actually wanted to tell him: the emperor's uncles would be so unhappy, probably because the assassination they planned failed.

That's right, from the very beginning Chu Yi suspected that these princes were behind the assassination. She didn't know who they were, but she couldn't get past them.It's just a pity that even the assassin in Chu Jingmo's room didn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes was.
