When the imperial physician arrived at King Xian's mansion, King Guawazi was still cold.

Ye Jiu followed Chu Shishen and several court officials to the palace of the virtuous king. Seeing the virtuous king, he lost his breath and was dragged back desperately by the doctor Wang.

Chu Shishen was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He pointed at the servant next to Prince Xian, and said in a cold voice, "What's going on! Why does the good brother take poison??"

The servant's name is Zhuo Dong, and he knelt on the ground and trembled when he heard the words, "I don't know, the lord has been at the mansion these days, except that his spirit is not the same as before, everything else is the same."

"How is it different?"

"The prince always sits alone, and doesn't let the little lady accompany him, and even sighs."

Chu Shishen asked again: "When did it start?"

Zhuo Dong timidly raised his head and glanced, then fell silent.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu frowned, suddenly feeling ominous.

Zhuo Dong's secretive attitude irritated Chu Shishen even more, and he shouted angrily, "Hurry up!"

So Ye Jiu heard an almost expected answer.

"Just after Lord Zhenyuan visited Wang Ye, Wang Ye looked like this."

Chu Shishen was a little surprised for a moment.

It is true that he allowed Ye Jiu to go to this mansion of the virtuous king, and the purpose of accepting gifts and holding a banquet at the beginning was to pave the way for Ye Jiu to get in touch with his two imperial brothers.

Now that the road has been repaired, the car has passed by, but now he is told that the cliff is broken, and even the car and the road collapsed? ?

Chu Shishen looked back at Ye Jiu, and several ministers around her also looked at her.

Ye Jiu felt that manhole covers were stepped on too much recently, and strange things happened one after another.

She was making sidelines that day, only thinking that if the prince was really the murderer, she would definitely find a scapegoat to smooth over the matter, and the most likely thing was to blame the third prince, then there would definitely be disturbances in the court.

As a result, there was such a big movement.

Did you see this turtle grandson playing himself to death?

Ye Jiu slightly shrugged his shoulders towards Chu Shishen, and then said seriously: "I just returned a salute, and didn't say anything else."

Zhuo Dong kowtowed, took out a sealed letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Chu Shishen with both hands, "This is the letter entrusted to the slave by the prince yesterday, so the slave must hand it over to the Holy Majesty."

"Bring it up."

When Ye Jiu saw Chu Shishen turning quickly, her brows became tighter and tighter. She glanced at the closed door, feeling a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

After reading it, Chu Shishen snorted heavily, and threw the letter to Ye Jiu, "You can see for yourself."

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, she took the paper, and saw that it was neatly written in lower script in Juanjuan.

Every word and sentence is sincere, the virtuous king is grateful for the brotherhood, admits that he is dissatisfied, and arouses His Majesty's displeasure, and even suspicion, now that he knows he is guilty, the only way to settle the grievances of the court is to apologize with death, all brothers Feelings.

Ye Jiu's right eyelid couldn't stop twitching, this idiot became so stupid that even ten marrow washing pills couldn't stop it.

She never expected that King Xian would think that His Majesty wanted to kill him.

Ye Jiu finally realized the seriousness of the matter now, if this idiot is rescued, this matter can still be suppressed, but if there is something wrong with him...

At this time, the closed door suddenly opened, and Imperial Physician Wang walked out in panic, and knelt down in front of Chu Shishen.

"How is the emperor?"

Imperial Physician Wang cupped his hands, "Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is stable, but..."

Chu Shishen hurriedly asked, "Just how?"

Doctor Wang suddenly kowtowed, "When I arrived, His Royal Highness was already deeply poisoned. Even if I tried my best, I could only save His Highness's life. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to walk on the ground like ordinary people, see things and speak." gone."

When the words fell, everyone present gasped.

This means... His Royal Highness King Xian is disabled, or completely disabled.

"Why would Prince Xian take poison??"

"A few days ago, I saw that Prince Xian had taken in two concubines, why can't I suddenly think about it?"

"Didn't the people in that house say that the prince was like this after the young master left? I think there must be something strange..."

Chu Shishen listened to the whispers of several ministers behind him, even the voices became louder and louder, his complexion was a little ugly.

At this time, one of the adults came out, bowed his hands to Chu Shishen, "Your Majesty, what did you say in the letter from His Majesty the Wise King?"

Ye Jiu naturally heard it too, and she looked up at the adult.She knew this person, the famous Prime Minister Lou Yanbai, an upright Confucian scholar, always helping the ministers but not relatives, he was a toothache character in the court.

Chu Shishen frowned and said nothing. Now that the situation is happening, it is estimated that before they can walk out of King Xian's mansion, the whole capital will know the news that King Xian killed himself.

Now Marquis Zhenyuan was pushed to the cusp of the storm again, but this time it was not like the last time that a silly younger sister would stand in his way.

Chu Shishen signaled Ye Jiu to pass the letter to Prime Minister Lou Yanbai.

Ye Jiu hesitated holding the letter.The lines in this letter reflected that Chu Shishen couldn't tolerate this virtuous prince, and he was a little angry. If he showed the courtiers like this, it might be bad for Chu Shishen.

Seeing His Majesty agreeing, Lou Yanbai stretched out his hand to Ye Jiu.No matter how much Ye Jiu hesitated, he could only pass the letter over.

Even if you don't give it now, the courtiers will hold on to it in the future.

Unsurprisingly, Lou Yanbai looked more and more cold after seeing it, and finally he handed the letter to several adults beside him, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Xianwang are of the same root, since Your Majesty has become the Son of Heaven, please cherish your Majesty's memory." Brotherhood of yesteryear."

Prime Minister Lou didn't say anything, but said everything.

Ye Jiu looked at Chu Shishen's clenched fist, and his heart sank more and more.Prime Minister Lou thinks so, which means that other people also think so.

"Go back!"

Chu Shishen didn't argue with the prime minister, and told the imperial doctor Wang to do his best to treat the queen, then turned around and walked out of the yard quickly.

Ye Jiu took a deep look at Prime Minister Lou who was still clasping his hands, and followed Chu Shishen.

……

As Chu Shishen expected, in just one day, there were rumors of flowers blooming in the whole market.

The virtuous prince was so angry that the emperor suspected himself, so he hanged himself with a touch of white silk;

So on the second day, in the court hall, Chu Shishen sat on the dragon chair with a cold face, while the officials below had their necks stuck.

"Your Majesty has been critical of the virtuous prince as early as during the fasting banquet. Now that the virtuous prince is paralyzed in bed, I hope your majesty will explain the reason so as to preserve the majesty of the heavenly family."

The prime minister never cared about the three sevens and twenty ones, and he was not at all afraid of doing things like this kind of thing.

Chu Shishen squinted his eyes, there was nothing he could do.

Prime Minister Lou has been outspoken since the time of the first emperor, and shouldered the responsibility of persuading the emperor, so he once challenged the first emperor with his back straight and never received any punishment.

Not only the emperor, but even all the ministers, Prime Minister Lou still did not let them go.Prime Minister Lou kicked him without hesitation when it came to the Minister of the Household Department.

Chu Shishen had a headache, and he said in a cold voice, "I have never murdered brother Huang for my own selfish desire."

Lou Yanbai didn't appreciate it, and took a step forward persistently on the wat board, "Then how can your majesty explain every word and every word in the letter of the virtuous king?"

Ye Jiu looked at Prime Minister Lou's words, pressing forward step by step, Xian Wang is now a useless person, unable to see and speak, only left a letter, and Chu Shishen can't say anything now, even if the courtiers face it. Coincidentally, there may be some new tricks coming out behind the scenes.

"Your Majesty heard that there are many rumors in the market, and each case is extremely ugly. If Your Majesty does not prove his opinion, I am afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of it." Feng Taidong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly stepped forward and said.

"The minister seconded the proposal, if His Royal Highness is persecuted, His Majesty must make decisions for it."

"The minister also agrees."

Several ministers came out one after another, although they were respectful, they were cautious in giving an explanation when they were pressing Chu.

Ye Jiu saw that there were so many people, and because Chu Shishen didn't dare to punish them at this time, they all jumped out and stabbed them.

There is no difference between arguing in the court and quarreling at the entrance of the village. The only difference is that the game in the court is human life.

Chu Shangzhang stood aside, watching the stalemate, pursed his lips and remained silent.

He always only sweeps the snow in front of his own house, as long as it doesn't involve the Chu family or the frontier defense, he usually won't intervene.

Xiao Lanfeng stepped out of the queue at this time, "Look at what your lords mean, it means that His Majesty has evil intentions in his heart, and he will kill his brothers in order to eliminate dissidents."

Xiao Lanfeng is a general, so naturally he wouldn't beat around the bush like a civil servant. When he said a few words, the faces of the adults changed.

"Xiao Shoubei's words are wrong. It is the official's responsibility to write a letter to speak out the truth. If His Majesty covers up the whole matter, it will be detrimental to His Majesty's sageness."

Above the court, the words of the officials are the most deadly, and they are often echoed in response, and must be forced to make people speechless.

Xiao Lanfeng snorted, straightened his back and stood in the hall, refusing to give in.

Swords were on the verge of breaking out in the hall, and Ye Jiu, as one of the parties involved, naturally couldn't escape.

So naturally someone thought of her.

"I would like to ask Marquis Lin, what did you say to His Highness the Xian Wang that day, which made His Highness so angry that he committed suicide by taking poison."

The one who spoke was Pei Jicai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Ever since he was rejected that day, he had been suffocated in his heart, and at this moment he was venting his anger.

Ye Jiu let out a long sigh of old-fashionedness, don't make trouble with the scholar, otherwise you will be drowned by spitting stars.

She glanced at everyone and shook her sleeves indifferently.

When it came to the Minister of the Household Department last time, she saw that these old stubborn people were not easy to mess with, but she didn't expect that Feng Shui would take turns, and it would finally be her turn.

Ever since she went to court today, when she received the letter from Dongfei, she knew it would not be peaceful today, but she didn't expect these old boys to play so happily.

Now that the flames of war are on her body, what can she do.

Chu Shishen frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Ye Jiu, staring straight into her eyes.

Ye Jiu naturally noticed it, and she gave him a reassuring look, signaling him not to worry.

Seeing this, Chu Shishen didn't feel relieved, on the contrary, the stone in his heart hung even more.

"My lords chatted very hotly, but someone finally remembered me."

Ye Jiu came out and looked sideways at the ministers.

"Also ask Marquis Lin to answer the question from Wei Chen."

Ye Jiu smiled softly, "It's true that I have sought His Royal Highness the Xian King, but I just gave him a flute to return the gift His Royal Highness gave me."

Lord Pei snorted, "Then why did His Royal Highness Xian change his usual behavior after Lin Hou left? Could it be that you said something you shouldn't have said?"

Ye Jiu nodded indifferently, "Yes, I said so."

Then she stared at Mr. Pei with a smile on her lips, "If I said, His Royal Highness King Xian sent someone to kill Mr. Fang Wei Hongfang."

Ye Jiu's voice was as light as the wind, but like a landmine, it exploded in the hall with a bang.

"how is this possible!"

"Why did His Royal Highness want to kill Mr. Fang?"

"No evidence, what evidence do you have!"

Ye Jiu shook out the rubbed paper, "Look, Mr. Fang himself said that it was His Royal Highness Xian Wang who wanted to kill him."

All the ministers blushed with anger when they saw the crooked "one", and stood up one after another.

"It's a bunch of nonsense. It's unreasonable for Marquis Lin to identify the royal family members just by using the word 'one'!"

Mr. Pei also said, "That is, if Mr. Fang didn't finish writing, how can he be identified as His Highness the Xian Wang?"

Ye Jiu smiled when he heard the words, "Oh? Look at what Mr. Pei means, it has something to say."

She glanced at Mu Wang who had been standing silently by the side, with a meaningful smile on her face.

When everyone heard it, their hearts skipped a beat.

If the word "one" is added with two more strokes, it will be "three", and His Royal Highness King Mu is the third son of the former emperor.

Chu Shishen calmed down a little at this time, he didn't expect Ye Jiu to stir up troubled waters, it's not a problem at all, the old guy who is always difficult to deal with, was actually tricked by her in a few words.

Mu Wang, who had inexplicably received countless gazes, glanced back, frowning so much that he could crush a cockroach to death.

what.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Lin is so eloquent that he slandered the two His Highnesses one after another. His heart is to be punished!" The Minister of Rites squinted his eyes in a strange tone.

Another minister stood up: "That's right, His Royal Highness Xian Wang is so innocent, he actually bit me back. My minister, I would like to ask Lin Hou, what is his intention?"

Ye Jiu asked without answering, "What is the intention of this Marquis?"

The smile on the corner of her mouth was gone, and two cold lights burst out from her eyes, "Then I want to ask, my lords are asking His Majesty today in the hall just based on the words of His Highness the Wise King, what are you doing?" Heart!"

Ye Jiuzhi's words were so loud that everyone was stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that this boy with yellow hair who hadn't changed his mind would be so quick-witted and caught them off guard.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Seeing the minister who was bluffing just now, Ye Jiu shrank his head and snorted coldly:

"Your Majesty is kind enough to patiently answer your mindless questions. If Your Majesty has ghosts in his heart, how can your heads still be safe?"

Everyone was silent for a while, looking at each other.

Chu Shishen had completely calmed down since Ye Jiu got angry, he felt extremely happy, it's been a long time since he saw these old fellows look deflated.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Lou glanced at the crowd behind him, and said unhurriedly:

"Marquis Lin is really good at talking. He actually made all the ministers who have been in the officialdom for a long time speechless. It's just that the ministers are just asking why, so as to block the mouth of the world and think about His Majesty wholeheartedly. Is it your servant?"

Ye Jiuwenyan was about to speak, but was stopped by the minister behind him.

"That's right, the minister waited for His Majesty's reputation and imperial prestige, but was ridiculed by Lin Hou's words. This is not to put the court and His Majesty in the eyes, and please His Majesty to be careful!"

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal, the court is the court of all the ministers, how can you say it!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, Marquis Lin is arrogant because of his favor, disturbing the imperial court, talking nonsense above the main hall, intending to alienate His Majesty and the brothers and sisters of the princes, this must be punished!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also seconded the proposal!!"
