The people who searched the second prince's mansion didn't leave until early in the morning. Chu Xiao was detained in the inner house, and there were heavy guards outside the door. The voice of a woman, crying and making noise outside.

Chu Xiao knew that perhaps the concubine Ji from the backyard had come to make trouble, such a torment must have frightened those women. He didn't sleep all night, thinking secretly in his heart, feeling that there might be no room for change now. And if the cause of Chu Tai's death was involved back then, he would die without a place to bury him, thinking this way, he got up suddenly, walked to the door, facing the noisy door, and raised his voice: "Who is here? "

"Your Highness, Your Highness is a concubine!!! What's wrong, Your Highness..."

The one in front was a woman about seventeen or eighteen years old, Chu Xiao's newly-married continuation, and the second daughter of Marquis Maochang.

She cried and begged the guard guarding her to let her in, but the guard was unmoved, and only heard Chu Xiao say from the door: "Now that something has happened to me, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to end it. I've already reached this field, you guys Let us husband and wife talk for a while, otherwise we are afraid that we will never see each other in the future, and Yin and Yang will be separated."

These guards have always been by Chu Cheng's side, and they have helped Chu Xiao in the past. Hearing what he said now, they hesitated for a while. They knew in their hearts that this time the Prince Wen's mansion was coming menacingly, and they would kill the second prince Fang Xiu , Seeing that he has no hope of turning over, why don't the dying man show grace and let the couple meet.

So several people discussed a few words in secret, and then let the second prince and concubine in.

As soon as the woman entered the door, she pulled Chu Xiao and began to cry. Chu Xiao reprimanded her, then grabbed her, and said in a low voice with a ferocious expression: "Now I say, listen, you will go out in a while, find a way to get some maid out , go to my outer room in Chang'an, find Mr. Qingfeng, and tell him to notify Yinchuan immediately."

"This..." The second concubine was so frightened that she just stared at him blankly with tears on her face.

"Did you hear that!!!" Chu Xiao glared at her, and then shouted in a low voice: "This is the only way for us to survive, otherwise if they drag me down, neither you nor your father Maochanghou will survive. Do you understand!!!"

"Yes!! Yes, the concubine knows."

After speaking, he stumbled and ran out crying, the guard at the door just thought she was sad and didn't think much about it.

In the early morning of the second day, all the officials and officials went up from the cloud ladder and entered the Jinluan Hall, but the four adult princes were not seen. Theoretically speaking, the second prince was rejected for committing crimes, and Princess Wen was seriously ill. It is also appropriate to go to court, but the remaining two princes did not come to court.

Emperor Desheng frowned, and just about to open his mouth to ask, Lin Lu suddenly came in from the side hall, walked to the side of Emperor Desheng, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the third prince, King Wen and the seventh prince are currently ministering in the ancestral hall under the Great Hall. I can't afford to kneel."

"What's going on?" De Shengdi frowned.

Lin Lu shook his head in embarrassment: "I don't know either."

"..." Emperor Desheng couldn't tell what his expression was at this time, he thought for a while, and said, "Follow me to have a look."

In Chang’an City, the flowers are red and willows are green in July, and the imperial palace is full of grass and warblers. There are also smiling young concubines flying kites in the imperial garden, but these colorful flowers can’t resist the coldness of the ancestral hall. people.

"You said, how many of these high-ranking ancestral tablets died well?" Chu Cheng suddenly asked in the originally quiet ancestral hall.

I saw him kneeling in the middle of the ancestral hall in a platinum court dress, but because he went to the second prince's residence overnight to search the house last night, his face was a little tired.

At this moment, the three princes were kneeling side by side in front of the memorial tablet. The one on his left was Chu Yu, the highest-ranked one in a black gold costume, and the last one on his right was Chu Yue, who was the youngest in an indigo embroidered unicorn court dress.

"What are you three talking about?" Chu Yue lowered his head, his face a little gloomy.

"Naturally, I judge others by myself. Brother Elder Emperor was killed by someone and he will not end well. Brother Two Emperor will also end well now. Only you and I are left." Chu Cheng turned his head coldly, and his eyes slowly fell on Chu Yu. On the body: "The world will soon belong to the Sixth Brother, but I don't know how the Sixth Brother wants to kill me and the Seventh Brother?"

There are no windows in the imperial ancestral hall, just heavy gates, but these gates still can't stop the morning glow of July from pouring down from the gaps, shining on Chu Yu's tall and generous back. Standing silently with eyes lowered, she is extraordinarily gentle and elegant.

"The world that this king wants has already come." Chu Yu's thin lips parted slightly: "I wonder which world the third emperor brother is talking about?"

As soon as his words fell, Chu Cheng almost trembled. It took a long time before he was about to speak, but suddenly he heard the little eunuch who was serving the ancestral hall outside singing loudly: "The emperor is here!!!"

Chu Cheng had no choice but to hold back his words, and the three of them lowered their heads to adjust their outer shirts, then got up, waited to see the figure of the emperor, and then knelt down again, shouting long live three times.

When Emperor Desheng came in, he saw the three sons kneeling side by side, frowning, waved his hands repeatedly, and ordered: "Get up."

But the three princes didn't leave. Chu Cheng lowered his head and said firstly, "I dare not get up because my son will die."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Desheng looked at the tablet enshrined in the ancestral hall, and felt a chill from the bottom of his heart: "Did you find out something from Chu Xiao?"

Chu Yu's expression was light, he sighed and raised his head, lowering his eyes, while Chu Yue was a little numb. He is not in good health this year.After kneeling for such a long time, his face was already pale, only Chu Cheng bowed his head and said, "I dare not say such treasonous words."

"Just say it, there are only our father and son here, and I forgive you for your innocence." Emperor De Sheng walked into the hall slowly, sat down on the first seat, waved away all the eunuchs and guards around him, and then continued: "What's the matter?" Just say it, in front of me, in front of your elder brother."

"Yes!" Chu Cheng replied in a deep voice, and then raised his head to look at Emperor Desheng: "I searched the second prince's mansion according to the order, but I didn't want to find a lot of poison, which was the same as the poison that King Jun had. It turned out that the poisoning of King Jun, the serious illness of Princess Wen due to anorexia, the fall of King Wen from a cliff, the incident of the joint Lu family poisoning King Wen and causing King Wen to lose his sight, and..."

Chu Cheng hesitated and stopped.

Emperor De Sheng closed his eyes halfway, as if he was in a trance, and saw that he was silent for a while, so he slowly said: "What else, let's go on."

"And..." Chu Cheng closed his eyes, and it took him a long time to say: "And the cause of the death of the eldest brother back then was all caused by the second brother."

As soon as his words fell, the time in the ancestral hall seemed to be frozen, like a piece of thick ink, black and stiff, which slowly melted away after a long time, and black water dripped all over the ground.

"He and Ze Han are blood brothers." Emperor De Sheng's voice was cold and slow: "I don't believe that he poisoned Heng Er, let alone that he can kill my brother."

"Father... excuse me for talking too much, the sons and servants are all brothers of the eldest emperor brother, and we are also close relatives of the second emperor brother."

Chu Yu's voice was always low and sweet, but at this time it was extremely sharp, which made the emperor who held the supreme power in the world feel ashamed.

"Yes, you are all my children, and I was equally happy when you were born." Emperor Desheng sighed: "It's just this matter, I want to interrogate it myself, Lin Lu, send me to the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up from the chair, and just as he was about to lift his legs to move forward, he heard a little eunuch coming in from outside, and said eagerly: "The emperor is not well, the person who was ordered to guard the second prince's mansion said that the second prince escaped." Already!!!"

At that time, Emperor De Sheng was stunned in place, as if someone had slapped his face hard, and immediately fell down on his chair like a building collapsed.

Regardless of whether the three princes were sincere or not, seeing the emperor like this, they immediately stepped forward and shouted to their father.

Emperor De Sheng clasped the armrest of the chair tightly, his eyes slowly passed over the faces of the three sons. It has to be said that although his sons have different personalities, they all have handsome features and the appearance of heaven and man.

It took a long time before I heard Emperor De Sheng say: "Someone has come to inform King Ming to lead the army and bring the rebellious son Chu Xiao back."

It was just brought back, and the three sons were present, but he still let his younger brother go, which shows that he is far and near.

Chu Cheng couldn't help being a little depressed, but Chu Yu still looked as usual, as if he was used to it.

At the same time, outside Chang'an City, Gu Youning was wearing a concubine-colored long gown embroidered with beautiful rivers and mountains, and a tulle with wide sleeves in gold and multi-coloured colors. Standing on a high ground, he saw a group of people running out of the city from a distance, heading towards He ran in the direction of Yinchuan, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, then he turned to look at Qingfeng who was wearing a crow blue long coat beside him and said, "Thank you this time."

"I didn't do anything, I can only say that he's too stupid, and he's not doing much, so he took me as his confidant." Qing Feng smiled, squinted at Gu Youning and said: "A few days ago, I heard that Princess Wen was critically ill, so I was frightened." When I pick it up, Princess Wen is not honest about this matter, even we are hiding it from us."

"It's not just you, even Gu Junxuan didn't know that when he went out of the palace that day, he almost fell off his horse, scaring us all to death. This is a crime of deceiving the king. The less you know, the better. What's the matter?" Gu Youning stared into the distance with a pair of bright eyes, and the hairband on his head fluttered in the wind.

"What else can be troubled, once this person is removed, what else can be done? The princess just waits for the prince to be enthroned in the grand ceremony in the future. At that time, you will be the queen who lives in the middle palace."

Qingfeng teased him with a smile, but was kicked by Gu Youning, and then said: "You have helped me a lot in this matter, if it is useful to Prince Wen's Mansion in the future, even if you send someone, I will die!"
