There was a depressing atmosphere in Lingxi Palace.Yue Xiqin eagerly looked at the palace gate behind her.Not long after, Wei Min came in from the door, "Your Majesty, King An Cheng is already outside the door, and His Highness Fourth is also here."

Yue Xiqin was startled.Knowing that the situation is changing, I can only respond to changes with the same.And Yue Zhongtian, who was in a high position, was also stunned. Knowing that the situation was beyond his expectations, he still said expressionlessly, "Send them in."

King An Cheng and Xi Lou stepped into the house side by side, and bowed down before the table, "I pay my respects to my father (the emperor)."

"Fourth emperor, I ask you, why did you come with King An Cheng?" Yue Zhongtian had no choice but to ask Xiang Xilou first step by step.

Xilou lowered his head, and said calmly, "On the way back to the palace from the General's Mansion in the evening, my son met an assassin. Fortunately, the uncle rescued me, so I stayed at the uncle's mansion temporarily. I was thinking about going back to the palace after dinner. .”

"Is this true?" Yue Zhongtian naturally asked Yue Zhongyuan.

"Returning to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing. I happened to be playing in Yehua in the evening, and happened to be assassinated by the Fourth Highness. That's why I came to the rescue."

The two of them sang together, Yue Zhongtian felt very uncomfortable listening to it.But even if he knew they were lying, he couldn't tell the truth.And Yue Xiqin also secretly rejoiced that since Xilou didn't say anything, it was naturally the best.

"There was an attack in the palace tonight, and there was an accident in the general's mansion. I believe that King An Cheng has heard about it. Although there is no evidence, the eldest emperor said that King An Cheng did it. I don't know what King An Cheng has to say?" Lou's matter was temporarily put aside, and Yue Zhongtian continued to deal with the matter just now.

"Back to the emperor, I thought it was His Royal Highness who spouted blood." Yue Zhongyuan said neither humble nor overbearing, "If it is said that the matter of the general's mansion was done by the minister, it is more accurate to say that it was done by Lu Taiwei. The Taiwei recommended it to the general."

"If it was indeed the work of Taiwei Lu, how could he foolishly make Qi Nuo disappear? Isn't this more suspicious?" Yue Xiqin questioned.

"Perhaps this is Taiwei Lu's brilliance."

"Then tonight, the assassins attacked the palaces of the Highnesses. This matter is directed at King An Cheng. Could this be the brilliance of King An Cheng?" Yue Xiqin sneered.

Yue Chongyuan was at a loss for words, and couldn't think of a way to deal with it.Xilou sneered in his heart, even a fledgling brat would not be able to say that this person still wants to be an emperor, it's just a dream.

"Brother, why did you send assassins to kill me over and over again?" At this time, Xilou suddenly asked.The sadness in his expression is unprecedented. "I know that I have always treated my elder brother with courtesy, why did my elder brother fall into the injustice of the West Tower several times?"

Yue Xiqin didn't expect that he had just gained the upper hand, but was suddenly asked by Xilou.His expression froze for a moment, and then he replied, "I don't know what fourth brother is talking about. When did I ever harm the fourth highness?"

"When? This evening is one of them."

"What you say is unfounded, where is the evidence?"

"Evidence..." Xilou raised his hand and clapped two palms.The sound fell, and a phantom outside the door walked in with a man in black.Yue Xiqin was surprised, he clearly didn't know this person.

The man in black knelt down.Yue Zhongtian had no choice but to cooperate with Xilou, and asked, "Who ordered you to assassinate the Fourth Highness?"

The man in black looked up at His Highness.Before he could say anything, he vomited blood and fell to the ground dead.Phantom breathed out and shook his head towards the west building.

Although the man in black didn't say anything.But just that one glance had the wonderful effect that silence is better than sound at this time.Yue Xiqin was in a hurry, and said indiscriminately, "Father, he spouted blood. He went to Prince Ancheng's mansion this morning and was placed under house arrest, so how could he return to the palace. It is impossible for my son to send someone to assassinate me." Only then did Yue Xiqin realize that the situation was really over, so he simply broke the jar.

Xilou and Yue Zhongyuan looked at each other, they had expected him to say that, but they still had a tacit understanding.He looked at Yue Xiqin inexplicably.

"If this happened, how do you know that he is under house arrest by King An Cheng?" Yue Zhongtian asked in a more serious tone.Unexpectedly, I plotted against Xilou and wanted to use him to get rid of King An Cheng.In the end, he used a trick against him and helped him get rid of his eldest son first.Thinking of this, his sharp eyes looked towards the west building.But Xilou kept his head down from beginning to end, without looking at himself.

"I... I was there at the time. I was used by King An Cheng..." Yue Xiqin argued anxiously.Although he was in a panic, he was not stupid enough to confess the envoys of Beizhao again, otherwise the situation would only be more unfavorable to him.

"Heh..." Xilou sneered, "Brother Huang really likes to tell jokes. I have never had any enmity with Uncle Huang. Why should Uncle Huang take such a risk? Wouldn't he be putting himself at a disadvantage?"

"This..." Yue Xiqin was speechless.At that time, I requested to remove the West Building.If King An Cheng hadn't stopped him, how could Xilou fight against him here now.Could it be that they have colluded long ago to harm themselves by injustice?Thinking of this, Yue Xiqin yelled again, "It's you. Everything was set up by you. It was you who secretly colluded with King An Cheng."

"Collusion for what? Assassinate the general, or assassinate yourself? Brother Dahuang is really funny." Xilou looked at him coldly, as if pitying a sad dog.

Meeting such eyes, Yue Xiqin was completely stunned.Xilou continued to press her with words. "Anyway, let's not talk about other things. This jade seal alone, I am afraid that Brother Dahuang will not be able to clear up the suspicion."

Yue Xiqin just opened and closed her mouth a few times, but couldn't make any sound.Concubine Ying cried out for injustice, "Fourth Highness, please don't frame my son. Who knows what kindness you and Wang An Cheng have?"

The situation is already unfavorable for Yue Xiqin.I'm afraid it will be counterproductive to say more.Take it when you see it.Xilou sighed, "Brother Dahuang, you are born from the same root, why are you in such a hurry?" After the sound fell, Xilou's figure shook and he fell backwards uncontrollably.Fortunately, Yue Zhongyuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and reached out to catch him.

The tenderness within reach made Yue Zhongyuan linger on touching it.Xilou's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled contemptuously, but still pretended to be dizzy calmly.

Yue Zhongtian looked at Xilou who was lying in Yue Zhongyuan's arms with complicated eyes, and waved his hand, signaling Wei Min to send Xilou back first.Yue Xiyang also asked for an order to follow out.

The atmosphere in Lingxi Hall did not ease because of Xilou's departure, but became more tense.The situation is imminent.At this time, a person stepped in from the outside.

The man was dressed up and walked directly to the table.He bowed on one knee, "Report to the emperor. When Mo Ying went to check the general's mansion according to the instructions, the general's mansion caught fire. In the chaos of the warehouse, only a few men in black fled away.

When Mo Ying led his men to chase after him, they just arrived at Lu Taiwei's mansion.To avoid disturbing Taiwei Lu, the subordinates just searched secretly, but unexpectedly heard a person talking with Taiwei Lu secretly in the study.

Mo Ying didn't have time to ask the emperor for instructions, so he directly led people in.Sure enough, I saw a man in black in the study with Taiwei Lu.The person has already been brought and is outside, whether the emperor wants to hear it. "

"Biography." One word, like a thunderbolt, struck Concubine Ying and Yue Xiqin's heads.Concubine Ying immediately softened her body.Father was secretly planning to get rid of Qingxiao and Yuexilou.Now he was beaten upright by someone with a heart.

Lu Taiwei was escorted in together with a man in black with an ugly face, kneeling down in front of Yue Zhongtian with trembling hands. "The old minister pays homage to the emperor."

"Lieutenant Lu, I'm asking you. Is the case of the General's Mansion and the assassination of His Royal Highness related to you?" Yue Zhongtian asked word by word.This is also in line with my own wishes, anyway, it is time to get rid of this old man.

Taiwei Lu was startled, looked at Yue Zhongtian with a look of fear on his face, and then lowered his eyes again, "Your Majesty, I don't know, I don't know..."

"Then what are you plotting with him in the study?" The 'he' naturally refers to the man in black kneeling beside Lu Taiwei.

"This..." Taiwei Lu was at a loss for words.

At this time, Wei Min, who was sending Yue Xilou back to the palace, hurried in again, and presented several secret letters to Yue Zhongtian.Yue Zhongtian took it, opened one casually, quickly scanned it, his expression changed drastically, he waved and threw those secret letters in front of Taiwei Lu.

See those secret letters.Taiwei Lu's already bad face suddenly turned ashen, and he fell to the ground dejectedly.

"The situation between Dasheng and Gu Yu has always been tense. I didn't expect Lu Taiwei and Gu Yuguo to be in close contact." Yue Zhongtian sneered, and said sharply, "The people here put His Highness and Lu Taiwei in prison, and Concubine Ying into the cold palace. "With an order, the guards came in from the outside and took the three stunned people down.

"King An Cheng lives in the palace for the time being, waiting for me to find out the situation. Shentu neglected his duties, so he will go to receive the punishment first. The rest of the people should step back." Another imperial order.Everyone kowtowed and retreated.Only Wei Min was left to serve.

Rubbing his sore temples, Yue Zhongtian asked wearily, "Where do these secret letters come from?"

"Go back to the emperor. When Mo Ying was escorting him back to the palace, he ordered people to search Taiwei Lu's study thoroughly. When his subordinate sent His Highness the fourth prince back to the palace, he happened to meet the subordinate who delivered the secret letter at the door."

"How is your Highness Fourth?" Yue Zhongtian asked in a flat tone.

"It doesn't seem very good."

"Really? Follow me to take a look." Saying that, Yue Zhongtian stood up and walked out of the hall.While walking, he asked, "In your opinion, is the assassin tonight related to King An Cheng?"

"Return to the emperor. Since His Highness the Fourth Highness stepped into Prince Ancheng's mansion, his subordinates have ordered people to watch in secret. Except for seeing His Highness and Beizhao envoy Gula coming out of it, he has never seen anything else. So according to the subordinates This matter has nothing to do with King An Cheng."

"Tell me in detail what happened after Xilou entered Prince Ancheng's mansion."

"Yes. After His Royal Highness entered the palace of King An Cheng, before the attendants had time to inform him, he collided with King An Cheng and others who came out of the inner hall. His Royal Highness had murderous intentions at that time. But I don't know what King An Cheng said What, His Majesty gave up for the time being. So His Royal Highness is under house arrest for the time being. Since His Royal Highness was put under house arrest, King An Cheng has gone in twice, and the subordinates don't know what he said specifically."

"Where's the general's mansion?"

"It's the negligence of the subordinates. The number of people who searched near the general's mansion was originally arranged to be small, and unfortunately they were assassinated this time. Therefore, there is no way to know the situation of the general's mansion."

"Then, in your opinion, what's going on with Yuxi?"

"This subordinate doesn't know about it. It stands to reason that every corner of the palace has been searched openly and secretly. It is impossible to find it in His Highness's palace until now."

Yue Zhongtian was silent and didn't say a word.Pushing open the door of the main room of the Liuli Palace, but did not see the west building on the bed.At this moment, a clear voice came from the half-hidden door, "Fourth Highness, are you comfortable like this?"

"So-so." The lazy voice was still full of air.It's also bad health.Yue Zhongtian looked at Wei Min reproachfully.Wei Min was ashamed to be deceived by Xilou.

Yue Zhongtian pushed open the door that was ajar on one side, and saw Xilou, eyes closed, lazily lying on the bed beside the bathtub, a young eunuch was thoughtfully massaging him.

When Tao Tao heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up, surprised, and shouted, "Your Majesty." Xilou suddenly opened his eyes, just in time for Chongtian's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.I thought that this person would not come tonight, but I didn't expect the calculation to be wrong.Since he was falsely accused of lying, Xilou didn't really care.

Yue Zhongtian took a deep look at Xilou, then turned and walked towards the white jade bed.Xilou stood up, waved Tao Tao to step back first, and then walked over.

"Why is the father here?"

"Does Lou'er think I shouldn't come?"

"My son thought that the father would not come tonight at least." Xilou walked to the bedside, seeing that Yue Zhongtian was just standing, but he was really tired, so he simply lay down and leaned on the inner side.

Yue Zhongtian looked at the west building inscrutablely, and slowly sat on the edge of the bed, but didn't go to bed, just looked at the west building like this.Xilou didn't want to confront him any more, so he took a step back and said, "Father, you and I each calculate it once, and it's even. I should have nothing to owe Father."

Yue Zhongtian didn't look at Xilou again, and got up and left directly.

Looking at the back of the man leaving in a huff, Xilou suddenly felt lost.He was the one who sorry for himself first, so why should he be so guilty?It's just mutual use.

With a bitter smile, Xilou closed his eyes wearily.The situation is too rigid, which is not good for him.What's more, it's better for him to smile and talk to himself.Just apologize to him yourself.
