The imperial capital and Ningdu seem to be peaceful, but in fact there are undercurrents surging.

Since the birth of the Ninth Prince, Prince Ji Jun feels that his status is getting worse and worse than before.The emperor once took care of many faults for him, but now not only does he not face him, he even reprimands him in front of all the civil and military officials in the court for his lack of progress and his difficulty in becoming a great weapon.

And the fifth prince, who was watching the play while hiding beside him, still mocked him from time to time, which really made the dignified prince lose face.

The fifth prince has the queen's support, and has become more and more powerful in the court in recent years. The prince can only compete with him by relying on the emperor's preference.If he loses his sacred heart, the only thing waiting for him is to be deposed. How can he not know what kind of miserable end the deposed prince will have.

The internal fighting between the two brothers began to intensify, and the situation in Beijing became tense. Many ministers didn't want to stand in line, and they didn't want to offend any prince. They were almost bald in embarrassment.

Some ministers thought that this was a good opportunity, and if they bet on the right treasure, it would be a chance for complete prosperity.

Faced with this situation, the emperor unexpectedly pretended to be deaf and dumb, and began to delegate power to the two princes.The current behavior of the emperor who is still in good health is puzzling. You must know that the current emperor is not a magnanimous master, and the witty ministers who know him do not think that he will voluntarily let go of his power.

It was rumored that His Majesty the Emperor might retreat behind the scenes to test the abilities of the two princes and choose the one who is capable.I want to be the emperor, enjoy family happiness comfortably, and be a real father.

I don't know where this kind of argument came from, and many people still believe it. After all, the Ninth Prince has been favored by thousands of people in his life, and he can be called the most favored prince since the founding of the Da Yuan Dynasty.In front of him, the emperor seemed to really only regard himself as an ordinary father.

The ministers who were watching were even more confused by this situation. Perhaps, the Ninth Prince might be a dark horse?

For a long time, the Xie family and the national teacher, who were royalists, were relatively clean. The crown prince and the fifth prince did not dare to win over them directly, otherwise they would be touching the bottom line of the emperor.

It's a pity that they didn't dare to make things difficult for the national teacher, but the national teacher noticed something strange.He didn't hesitate to cooperate with Xie's family to set up a trap, and got Xie Chen and Yin Su back.

In the huge prince's mansion, after the dark-faced prince entered the door angrily, he picked up the decorations around him and threw them to the ground.Porcelain shards splashed at the feet of the young man who came in after him, causing him to move aside in fright.

"His Royal Highness, calm down." A voice tinged with fear sounded.

The crown prince was in a fit of anger, where he could extinguish the fire by talking casually, he still did not stop throwing things in his hands, but instead shouted and cursed: "How can I calm down the anger, the majestic Lord of the East Palace, now I can't even return to my own palace! Going back to the Prince's Mansion, you will be confined for a month, is it true that the father has become confused and made a yellow-haired child lose his mind!"

The young man turned pale with fright when he heard his rebellious words, and quickly persuaded him: "Your Highness, you can't say such words, be careful that there are ears behind the walls. The Ninth Prince is still young, so there are so many complicated thoughts. It is impossible for the Holy Majesty to be fooled by a young man like him." The child controls the mind. If he hadn't broken into the palace today and interrupted the court meeting, I'm afraid the Fifth Prince would have made it even more difficult for you to step down."

"Yes, that's right, that little bastard, Fifth, is all to blame for what happened today!" Crown Prince Ji Jun gritted his teeth angrily, swept the tea on the table with a wave of his sleeve, and made a crisp crackling sound.

The tea splashed everywhere, soaking the dark purple prince's court clothes, and brewing water stains of strange colors on the hem of the clothes.

The young man lowered his head and looked at the hem of his clothes, as if he was afraid of the prince's power and anger, so he didn't dare to say more.Quietly listen to him continue to yell and scold: "When I was a child, that little bastard didn't deal with me. He was eccentric and cunning all day long. He often gave me eye drops in front of my father. This time he was caught by him. , how can you be reconciled if you don't step on your feet hard!"

"Back when Xie Chen went mad, why didn't he be beaten to death? To get rid of these two scourges at once, I don't have to be so difficult today." Speaking of the latter part, his anger did not subside, but there was even a trace of regret.

"Your Highness, now that the Fifth Prince has been crowned King of Qi, this will be of great disadvantage to you." The young man sighed. ,

Ji Jun glared at him viciously, and said angrily, "You don't need to remind me of this matter!"

The matter of the fifth prince's becoming king dragged on for a long time. At first, the emperor wanted to be crowned king, but the queen tried her best to stop it.Because the emperor was obviously interested in the crown prince at that time, once the crown prince became an adult and missed the throne, he would be driven to the fiefdom, and it was basically difficult to turn over there.

As witty as the empress and the fifth prince, he would rather not be titled, so he would stay in Beijing as an idle prince, and slowly cultivate power by taking advantage of the position of empress and the power of his natal family.From time to time, I can ask for some unimportant errands to do, to show my courtesy in front of the emperor, and to enhance the relationship between father and son.

After a long time, the frog was boiled in warm water, and the emperor obviously treated the fifth prince a lot, resulting in the current confrontation between the two princes.

However, if it comes to fighting alone, the crown prince is obviously not the fifth prince's opponent. No matter in courage or skill, he can't match up to his vicious fifth younger brother.

Ji Jun knew very well that if he hadn't been loved by the emperor, he wouldn't be able to beat the fifth son at all, so now that the ninth prince came out and shared the emperor's favor, he was even more anxious.

The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Only then did the fifth prince catch him several times and suffered a great loss.

"Your Majesty recently got a piece of news, perhaps, it can make His Highness feel ashamed today." The young man's handsome face showed some hesitation, and he finally said the words that had been circling in his heart for a long time.

Hearing this, Ji Jun grabbed his wrist and hurriedly asked, "Duan Yu, if you have any news, tell me quickly."

"This, I'm not sure if it's true or not, I haven't had time to investigate..." The captured young man hesitated.

Ji Jun was in a fit of anger, and just wanted to avenge this arrow, and urged: "It's okay, let's listen to it first!"

Seeing that he was really anxious, the young man opened his mouth: "A few days ago it was my sister-in-law Mrs. Jinyanghou's birthday, and a family banquet was held at home. Princess Anping's family also visited, and she kept a matter closed in private. I told Jiannei about the prince, but I didn't intend to learn about it after being dismissed."

"Why did you tell your wife about the fifth child?" The prince was full of doubts.

"Your Highness, have you ever heard that when the lower official opened an escort agency, the escort was robbed on the first trip, the escorts were all killed and injured, and the two escorts were killed and injured?" The young man is Duan Yuxi, the second young master of the Duan family. In detail, he said, "The bodyguard who died was Jiannei's elder brother, Chen Li, the young master of the caravan."

The prince opened his eyes wide, thinking of something, the anger in his eyes turned into light.If the fifth child is really the murderer who robbed the darts, then he would have feuded with the Duan family and the caravan at the same time. Wouldn't this be of great benefit to him?

Now that Duan Lin holds a heavy army in his hands, he would tremble if he stomped his feet in court, and Duan Lingyue was even more favored by the Empress Dowager, more favored than any real golden branch and jade leaf.

What is even more dangerous is the caravan. Although these people from the rivers and lakes have business with the imperial court, they have clear grievances and grievances. Who knows if they will do any extreme things in order to avenge their young master.

The more Ji Jun thought about it, the more delighted he became. Even if it wasn't the fifth brother who did it, people would think it was him who did it. You have to take the blame seriously.

On the other side, in the dark and dark secret room, the black-robed man kneeling on the ground tried his best to suppress the trembling of his body, and replied: "My lord, Ji Chunlin acted without authorization due to personal grievances, disrupting your plan against the Yin family." , his subordinates have already executed him. The account book, the account book is missing."

"Idiot, Xie Chen is not qualified to act rashly." The tall and thin figure standing with his hands behind his back, his cold voice is easily reminiscent of some kind of cold-blooded reptile, "Once the ledger is leaked, it will be a huge threat. Send more people to continue the search. Ji Chunlin's family members must not be let go, interrogate carefully. Also, tell Qian Qi about this, he may have news."

"Yes." The black-robed man took the order, he was finally relieved after leaving the secret room, and wiped off his cold sweat before hurrying to do things.He didn't want to end up trying to do things ineffectively, the master's methods were really creepy.

Knowing nothing about the conspiracy behind the scenes, Yin Su and Xie Chen first found an inn to stay after they came out of the Duke's mansion.Neither of the two people who were deceived into coming here wanted to live in the Duke’s Mansion. After the four of them broke up unhappy, Yin Su advised Xie Chen to treat it as a vacation. He just asked Chen’er to be a tour guide to enjoy the elegance of the Imperial Capital before returning home. government.

It was rare to return to the capital, Xie Chen planned to go quietly to see Duan Lingyue, just in time to see if she had anything to do with her, or if there was anything she needed to bring to Duan Lin, I happened to be able to take it along the way.

The two reached an agreement and decided to spend a few days in the imperial capital Panheng before returning to Yecheng to continue preparations for the northward frontier.

In fact, for every time they go out, Yin Su feels that it is really difficult to go on a honeymoon. There are always various things waiting for them every time.

There is no other way, but to have as much fun as possible every time, to steal half a day's leisure from Fusheng, and take Xie Chen out for a while.Who knows, they can make things happen by just strolling around.

As soon as I sat down in the private room of the teahouse, before the stools were warm, a figure quickly pushed the door open and walked in, and then opened the curtain under the table and got in.

Yin Su, who was sitting at the table, was stunned by the unexpected visitor. He looked at the slowly swaying tablecloth, and then at the frowning Xie Chen, blinking his eyes, wondering if he was dazzled.

"Yan..."

Only one word came out of his mouth, and he closed his mouth consciously. Xie Chen's vigilant eyes, and the sudden commotion outside made him already aware of it.

The people who rushed back to the imperial capital with the most important evidence were ambushed halfway, and they were no match for four hands.A considerable number of assassins dispersed their group, and Dong Lingjue, who was hiding in the dark, sent Yan Zhao into the capital, attracting a large number of pursuers.

The vigilant surveillance censor hid in crowded places, and finally got lucky. He saw the couple walking into the teahouse as soon as they turned the corner.
