In July, Chang’an was full of turmoil. The poisoning case of Prince Jun had not yet been clarified. When he got up, he didn't know how many lives would be involved.

Just two days after Princess Wen became seriously ill, King Ming, who was ordered to investigate the Yao Dao incident, entered the palace in the middle of the night.

"It's so late at night, why are you in such a hurry to enter the palace?"

Emperor Desheng looked at King Ming who was in a hurry, and he was very puzzled. Unexpectedly, King Ming entered the Guangren Hall. When he saw Emperor Desheng, he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, and said angrily: "My royal family surnamed Chu is unfortunate. How dare you not come?"

"What's going on?" Emperor De Sheng stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked, "Is there something found in the case of Prince Wen's Mansion?"

"Brother! Brother, do you still remember that in the early years, the second prince had a companion with him. He was the son of the governor of Sichuan. Later, he was exiled to the frontier by him because he taught the second prince to neglect his job and become obsessed with pills and medicine. The Central Governor was also dismissed."

"It's all been a long time ago, why mention him?" There was a lot of trouble back then, how could Emperor De Sheng not remember it.

"Now my brother is ordered to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Yao Dao framing Princess Wen. Who knows that the four leaders of the Yao Dao are the second prince who was exiled by the emperor's brother to accompany him!!!"

King Ming's words fell, and Emperor De Sheng's eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say?"

"At first, my younger brother didn't want to believe it, but after all, I had a doubt in my heart, so I quietly followed the vine to investigate. It turned out that the exiled companion was quietly rescued by the second prince before he left the province, and my younger brother went to When interrogating that person, he refused to admit it at first, but he had to admit it in the face of irrefutable evidence. In the end, he turned his back on him. He thought that the second prince was his savior, and he had been secretly staring at Wen Wen for so many years under the order of the second prince. The palace, seeing the second prince being grounded a few days ago, was so angry that he wanted to avenge the second prince. It just so happened that the Chen family of Wenwang's mansion was jealous of Princess Wen's favor, so he took advantage of the opportunity to lure Chen into entering Wenwang's mansion. He thought that the incident happened Afterwards, the second prince will take advantage of the chaos to rescue him, but who knows that the second prince is too busy to take care of himself now, how can he care about him!"

King Ming hated iron for steel: "Brother Emperor, I don't say what the second prince has in mind, but just say that he is vicious, and if he can outmaneuver all the princes with his wrists, that's all. It's not a disappointment to give him the throne, but This kid is too foolish, if he really wins the throne, I, Truman, will be destroyed by him in the future!"

"..." Hearing his words, Emperor De Sheng was speechless for a while, sat on the dragon chair in a daze, and then slowly said after a while: "I used to only look at Ze Han as if everything was wrong, but I didn't think it was all wrong , that's all..."

Emperor Desheng seemed to be several years older, he looked up at King Ming, and continued: "Come and help me to draw up the decree, the second prince will be temporarily detained in the mansion, and all his cronies will also be detained, and people will search the second prince's mansion."

"..." Duke Ming also sighed: "The second prince's mansion is nowhere else, who would you like to search?"

"...Let Chu Cheng go." Emperor De Sheng lowered his head: "For Ze Han's sake, I will give him one last chance to see if he is popular."

"Yes, my brother will do it now." King Ming took the order, and finally looked at the emperor with some pity, wanting to comfort him: "Brother emperor..."

"It's okay, you can go, I'm fine." Emperor De Sheng shook his head silently, and only waited for a long time after King Ming retreated before he said in a low voice: "I have pity on Ze Han, if you can live, how much will be lost to your father?" Trouble."

But at this time, as soon as King Ming left, the little eunuch that the queen placed in Guangren Hall hurried to Fengluan Hall, and before the queen could salute, she said, "The empress is not well, the emperor just came down." According to the decree, let people go to the Second Highness's residence to ransack the house."

"what???"

The queen was so frightened that she didn't raise her breath and passed out. Everyone was in a hurry and shouted to pass on to the imperial physician.

All of a sudden there was a commotion, Ding Zhaoyi stood at the gate of Yawenyuan, looked at the people coming and going in and out of the Queen's Palace, sneered, turned and left.

The maid supporting her beside her asked: "My lady, the empress empress came to beg you that day and wanted you to say something nice to the second prince in front of the emperor, but you promised but didn't do it. Now the second prince has broken something, the empress empress I won't blame you, will I?"

"Where does she have the time to worry about me now? Besides, what the second prince committed, can I just settle it with a little Zhaoyi?" Ding Zhaoyi walked into the room slowly, and said after a long while: "Go and let a The little eunuch sent a message to Commander Gu who was on duty in the palace, told him what happened in the palace, and then asked him how Princess Wen was doing."

"Yes." The palace maid blessed her body: "This servant knows."

After speaking, she turned and went out, leaving Ding Zhaoyi staring at the gorgeous but cold palace in a daze, her flowery face reflecting the bright lights of Yawenyuan was extremely beautiful.

That night, the Second Prince's Mansion, which was already gloomy, was suddenly surrounded by a group of well-trained imperial guards armed with open flames, and all the fortresses on the entire street were sealed off.

"Who is coming?"

The guards of the Second Prince's Mansion faced him with their swords drawn. After a while, a man came forward on a tall horse. It was the Third Prince Chu Cheng who was wearing a platinum court uniform.

"This hall is ordered to search the second prince's mansion, and you will immediately send the second prince Chu Xiao to come to listen to the announcement."

Chu Xiao, who had already fallen asleep, was yelled, yelling that someone from the palace had raided his house. He was so frightened that he walked away for most of the time. He hurriedly dressed and went out to see that it was Chu Cheng who was the leader. Suddenly frowning: "Is it you or Chu Yu?"

"Who can do what? The second brother is now a defeated man. My father asked me to raid the house. What I saved is that I am close to you and can let you go." Chu Cheng got off his horse and walked to the house. In front of him, he sneered and said, "But second brother, tell me, can I let you go?"

"My hall knows that it is widely rumored that I killed Princess Wen in Chang'an, so you will not let me go." Chu Xiao's eyebrows were full of determination, and he said ruthlessly, "But don't forget, In Royal Father's heart, you and I have long been bound together, if I die in their hands, you will not be able to escape."

"You are clear." Chu Cheng hummed softly, stared at him blankly for a while, walked past Chu Xiao, and raised his voice to order: "Come here, according to the order, take the second prince Chu Xiao into the inner house for strict supervision. The rest of the people will be imprisoned with a book, and the rest will go in with the hall to search, no matter the study room or the sleeping hall, dig three feet and find something for the hall!!!”

"Chu Cheng!!!!" Chu Xiao was about to burst into tears, and shouted from behind: "Don't be fooled, there are some things that you can't escape!!!"

"Really?" Chu Cheng looked back with a slight smile: "Then we'll have to wait and see in this hall."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to the second prince's mansion, but before he left, he heard Chu Xiao coldly say from behind: "Isn't it just for that little bastard Gu Youning, Chu Cheng, let me tell you, if I really lose today, Tomorrow you will die at his hand."

Chu Cheng paused, did not look back at him, but looked at the devastated Second Prince's Mansion, and said quietly: "I am willing."

The Second Prince's Mansion was already in chaos, but Wen Wang's Mansion was very quiet.

Gu Youning was wearing Chu Yu's coat and standing barefoot on the carpet, untying the Nine Links for Jian Yu. When Chu Yu came in, he happened to untie the Nine Links, and Jian Yu ran out holding them.

Chu Yu stepped forward and hugged Gu Youning horizontally, frowned and said, "Why don't you play on the couch, what are you doing standing on the ground?"

"Lying on the bed all day and pretending to be sick, I feel uncomfortable all over. It's finally night and I walk on the ground for a while." Gu Youning complained softly.

"Be patient, it will be fine in a few days." Chu Yu kissed him on the cheek, then put him on the bed, and said: "The emperor's uncle has already found out, and he will go to the palace at night I told my father that now my father ordered to search the second prince's mansion, and Chu Cheng took people there overnight, so I'm afraid they have all copied it now."

Gu Youning just leaned on the couch, and said: "The imperial decree came soon, but the emperor asked the third prince to search the house, what does this mean?"

"Father is nothing more than giving Chu Xiao one last chance. Chu Cheng has been his confidant for many years, and everyone knows at home and abroad. If he wins the hearts of the people, he will definitely let him go at this time." Chu Yu twisted a warm and damp veil, He leaned over and wiped Gu Youning's feet, and then continued: "I heard that the emperor's uncle scolded Chu Xiao in the palace, and the queen fainted in Fengluan Hall after hearing this."

"These people have been kings and hegemons for so many years, and it is safest for King Ming to come forward, otherwise, who would dare to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor." Gu Youning said leisurely, looked up at Chu Yu, and laughed.

When it comes to who the emperor trusts the most now, it is definitely King Ming. At that time, the emperor saw the scene of Wenwang and his wife being parted from life and death in Prince Wen’s mansion. It was interrogated by his most trusted younger brother, and the second prince accompanied him to read it. It had been a long time ago. If it weren't for King Ming who took care of the abyss in the palace by himself, no one else would have recognized it.

Chu Yu and Gu Youning had calculated step by step. Even the words they said in front of the emperor before the hospital bed were all inquired from the old man in De Wang's mansion, so they were able to penetrate the emperor's heart.
