Backtracking [Infinite Stream]

"Have you thought about it, my lord?"

A soft and soft voice came out from behind the screen, as if it would appear in the next moment.

Chen Hui hastily stepped back a few steps, and stepped back to the side of the bright window, "The imperial concubine, please don't come out, I'm afraid of you."

Su Guifei stopped in her tracks, and asked Chen Hui suspiciously, "What do you mean by being afraid of you?"

Chen Hui didn't explain, fearing that Su Guifei would drive him out in a fit of anger.

He changed the subject, "My concubine, I am only loyal to the emperor."

Concubine Su Gui seemed to laugh lightly, "What if the emperor changes?"

"I'm going to retire first, there are other things to investigate."

Chen Hui put aside the matter of Concubine Su and the eldest prince for the time being. Judging from the current situation, he needs to leave now, otherwise, Concubine Su would have more and more excuses to keep him, and it would be difficult for him to leave.

"My lord knows such a thing, why do you still want to leave?"

Listening to her increasingly unscrupulous words, Chen Hui felt that his situation was not good. He turned around and was about to leave immediately. The screen next to him suddenly fell down, almost hitting Chen Hui. Chen Hui hid to the side, and immediately went to open the door. , but found that the door had been locked at some point.

Chen Hui kicked hard, and the door began to crack after a few blows from him. He couldn't break the iron lock, but he could still break the wooden door.

The two maids guarding the door were frightened by him, Concubine Su fell to the ground inexplicably and began to moan softly, "Come here, you are so bold, how dare you treat me lightly."

At this moment, Chen Hui realized that Concubine Su Gui was only wearing a light yellow tunic, she also messed up her bun, and deliberately wiped off some of the rouge on her lips.

Chen Hui continued to kick the door without changing his face, and finally broke through the door, walking towards the door without looking back.

At this time, a group of imperial guards surrounded him.

The commander of the imperial army drew out his long sword and pointed at Chen Hui, "How dare you belittle the imperial concubine! See if I don't take you down to see the emperor!"

"Take your mother." Chen Hui spit out a few words, directly snatched his sword, and put the sword on the commander's neck with his backhand, "Get out of here, let me go out."

Several forbidden soldiers looked at their companions, the commander was going crazy, he was struggling crazily, but he couldn't shake Chen Hui in the slightest.

"Get out of the way! Do you want me to die?"

The imperial army stepped aside, Chen Hui left the commander of the imperial army behind as soon as he left the palace gate, and then went to find the emperor alone. Now he must arrive in advance, and cannot let Concubine Su Gui find the emperor first, otherwise it may not be clear at all .

According to the usual practice, the emperor should still stay in his palace to read the scriptures at this time.

Chen Hui met Duan Yunlou on the road and briefly told him about it, and Duan Yunlou immediately went to inform Yu Sui.

When Chen Hui came to the main hall, he cruelly scratched the back of his hand with a knife, blood flowed out and wet his sleeve.

"I have something to ask to see!"

It happened that the emperor was fine at this time, and when he heard the voice outside the palace, he asked the eunuch to go out to have a look.

As soon as the eunuch came out, he saw Chen Hui kneeling on one knee with blood on the back of his hand. He hurried forward, "Oh, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Eunuch, please let the emperor know that I have something important to report."

Chen Hui entered the hall, knelt down on one knee again, bowed his head and clasped his fists with both hands, "I report to the emperor, I have something important to do."

The emperor glanced at the back of Chen Hui's bleeding hand, and couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong, hurry up." After speaking, he winked at the eunuch, who took a piece of white gauze to help Chen Hui wrap up the wound stand up.

"Tell me, what's the big deal? It hurt you."

Chen Hui bowed his head and said what he had already thought up.

"I went to see the imperial concubine today, and I was going to ask the empress about some things, but unexpectedly, the empress seemed to be possessed and wanted to kill me, and the incense burner in the empress' room seemed to be drugged, and I suspected that someone wanted to plot against the empress. "

The emperor was furious, and slapped the table hard, "There is still such a thing."

Chen Hui said again: "The emperor made amends, the empress is insane, she seems to regard this minister as a villain." After that, Chen Hui stopped talking and let the emperor judge for himself.

After a while, the emperor asked Chen Hui to get up, "Go to the side hall first and let the imperial doctor treat your wound. I will investigate this matter myself."

Chen Hui retreated, and not long after, the emperor summoned his hidden guards.

The person who called was Yu Sui, and Yu Sui and Chen Hui's statement was seamless, successfully dispelling the emperor's suspicion.

"I only saw Mr. Chen standing in front of the window and never left. It seems that something happened in the back hall. Mr. Chen couldn't open the door of Concubine Su Gui's bedroom, so he had to kick the door open to get out."

Yu Sui's expression was grim, and he stood below with his fists folded and his head bowed, telling out what he saw. He did not lie, he saw what happened in the bedroom from that window.

The emperor waved him down, and suddenly only he and the eunuch were left in the hall.

The emperor's complexion has not been very good since Chen Hui said those words, even the eunuch who has been with him for many years almost dare not breathe.

"Tell me, what's going on here?"

The eunuch knew that the emperor was asking about himself, so he quickly and cautiously figured out what the emperor meant, "Both your lord and the noble concubine were framed by traitors, and should be appeased."

"That's right, if that's the case, then let's drive to Qianqing Palace."

Knowing that the emperor had left, Chen Hui also came out from the side hall. He had done what he could, and it was the most correct way.

The reason why Chen Hui didn't directly expose Concubine Su was because he knew that the emperor would not trust him easily, but at the same time the emperor would not trust Concubine Su easily. At this time, he and Concubine Su could only be placed as victims. position.

At any rate, the emperor would not do anything to Chen Hui easily.

Chen Hui did not leave the palace, but continued to wait, not knowing how Su Guifei would explain to the emperor, he waited until the afternoon, but no news came.

The side hall was very dark, and the environment could only be seen clearly inside the room, and there were guards watching outside the door. Chen Hui sat on the wooden chair until the evening, and the emperor didn't hear anything.

Chen Hui thought that Su might have been waiting for him at the gate of the palace now, so he didn't wait any longer, just opened the door and left.

The guards outside the gate didn't stop him either, Chen Hui came all the way to the palace gate, a familiar carriage stood quietly at the gate, Chen Hui finally showed a smile on his face which had been gloomy all day.

Just as he was about to step forward, a dozen guards suddenly appeared in the palace gate behind him and surrounded him.

The sound outside caught Su's attention in the carriage. He opened the curtain and saw that Chen Hui was surrounded by people. This was unbearable, Su jumped out of the carriage and was about to step forward to block Chen Hui.

At the critical moment, Chen Hui stopped him.

Su resisted his anger and stood outside the encirclement, his eyes fixed on the man who pointed his sword at Chen Hui.

After finally calming down, Chen Hui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him stop. He looked at the commander, "What does this mean?"

The commander had his neck cut by Chen Hui, and now he was full of resentment, he pointed his sword at Chen Hui and said loudly: "This man assassinated the imperial concubine, the emperor ordered us to take you down."

Chen Hui was a little surprised, what's going on, is the emperor confused by the beauty's rhetoric again?It seemed that the emperor did not trust him after all.

Chen Hui seemed resigned to his fate and asked the commander to tie him up with a rope. Seeing that Su was about to be unable to restrain himself, Chen Hui looked at him in time to calm him down.

Su suddenly calmed down completely, and he nodded towards Chen Hui, indicating that he understood.

Then, Chen Hui was brought into the palace.

In the prison, another person was added, and Chen Hui was imprisoned just opposite to the sixth prince.

But neither of them was in the mood to talk, as if each other didn't exist.

After this incident, Chen Hui believes that Su and the other team members have roughly understood the key to this matter, and now he just needs to wait for everyone to save him, and just advance the plot by the way.

For some reason, the emperor believed Concubine Su's words, and put Chen Hui in the dungeon. Concubine Su was proud of herself. The emperor had just left her. She was leaning on the couch charmingly, and the maid beside her was fanning her , not to mention how radiant she is.

Not long after, Concubine Su Gui told everyone to go down.

Then the door of her bedroom was opened, and a person walked in.

"Well done, we'll be there soon."

The person who came was the Eldest Prince, his face showed a different arrogance than in front of others, when Concubine Su Gui saw him coming, the smile on her face was much more sincere than when she was facing the emperor.

Su's desire to solve the case was stronger than anyone else's. He wished he could rush into the dungeon and bring Chen Hui out right now.

But he couldn't, so Su had no choice but to contact his teammates and ask the team members in the palace to take care of Chen Hui more. Everyone naturally understood this truth.

The information of all the team members was gathered to Su. Late at night, in Chen Hui's mansion, he was still in Chen Hui's room.

The candlelight shone on Su's face. He looked at the several information chains on the paper, and he had obviously made a decision, some of which were left by Chen Hui.

Now only Su needs to lead the rest of the team to clear this actually very simple ancient trial game.

The next day, not long after dawn, Su came to Shuixiu Tower.

Su needed some personnel to help him find out the news, and also needed Lou Yun's help, because they knew before that Lou Yun's identity actually had some information channels in the palace.

Lou Yun was naturally willing to help Su with this. He handed Su a list, "The above is my relationship in the palace. You can ask them to do it, they are sincere."

"Thank you." Su Tao thanked him and left the place immediately.

Now he has to immediately use his contacts to find out the relationship between the eldest prince and Concubine Su, and it is best to have human and physical evidence, so that the emperor will believe it.

At the same time, Su vaguely guessed who the poisoner was.

Before yesterday, both Chen Hui and Su had only a vague target of the poisoner, but after experiencing the incident where Chen Hui was framed yesterday, they both guessed it, but now they still need the final confirmation.

Because there are two people in their target, they need a little trick to really know who poisoned them.

Su entered the palace, the reason was to see the imperial garden in the palace, and not many people paid attention to him.

Imperial Garden, in a bamboo forest.

Su handed Nie Xiaozhou a big sachet, which contained a lot of silver and gold ingots. Now they still need the cooperation of some court ladies and eunuchs, so this kind of thing is naturally the best choice.

But not now, the time has not yet come.
