Chapter 1057 True or False, Who Is the Last
Wen Xichi followed the guy who was leading the way and walked slowly to the stairs. When he reached the top of the stairs, he turned slightly and looked at Yan Xi who was looking at him below. The two of them looked at each other. , turned away quietly.
Wen Xichi knew the person responsible for the Wang Shengxue incident.
Yan Xi knew the number one scholar in the previous world and now an official in the Ministry of Justice.
Wen Xichi continued to climb up, while Yan Xi lowered his head in deep thought...
After going up to the fourth floor, I pushed open the door of the private room and saw Chu Liuyue sitting there, holding a wine glass with a gloomy face. She took two steps forward and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
"Yuan Qing, there's no need to be polite, please sit down!" Chu Liuyue reached out and pressed her forehead, her eyebrows slightly relaxed and she said.
Wen Xichi didn't hesitate to sit down on the chair opposite Chu Liuyue. A pair of cups had been placed there. The eunuch dressed as a servant came over and poured him a glass of wine, then stepped aside.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Wen Xichi asked, looking at Chu Liuyue's face without raising his glass.
"Yuan Qing and I grew up together and have been friends since we were young. Now Yuan Qing is standing by my side wholeheartedly. I will never hide it from you. Nothing happens in Prince Chen's Mansion. Yuan Qing helps me The king analyzed and analyzed why nothing happened? Didn’t my father find any prohibited items in Prince Chen’s Mansion? "
Chu Liuyue said.
The matter of the brocade box was too involved, and even when it was mentioned to Wen Xichi, it was only vaguely mentioned, only that a forbidden item he occasionally obtained was related to the previous dynasty.
Although Chu Liuyue and Mr. Liu discussed this matter, they did not hide it from Wen Xichi when they discussed it in the study afterwards.
"Is Princess Chen okay?" Wen Xichi asked calmly.
"It's nothing. It should be just an ordinary physical discomfort. It's not what I thought before. My father has already controlled people and wants to kill Princess Chen!" Chu Liuyue said with a frown.
Before, he thought that there was no news about Shao Wanru because he was imprisoned by his father and imprisoned on the grounds of illness, and then died before Chu Liuchen came to the capital. Compared with the sudden death, this reason was much more sufficient, and it was also More acceptable.
"If nothing happens to Princess Chen, and there are no changes in Prince Chen's palace, then the prince's plan will definitely fail." Wen Xichi said calmly, "Your Majesty, it's better not to act rashly at the moment. Although Prince Chen is not in the capital, , but the Emperor’s gaze has been drawn to Prince Chen’s Mansion, Your Majesty, perhaps you should think more about, how did you obtain this so-called prohibited item?”
"I got it by accident." Chu Liuyue's eyes shrank, her eyes twitched, and she suddenly felt that she had missed something.
"I got it by accident, or someone did it deliberately. It's better for the prince to figure it out!" Wen Xichi said, "Maybe this is the key to why things went wrong!"
Chu Liuyue's heart jumped twice, and she asked tentatively: "Are you saying that someone else might have plotted against me..."
"Whether someone is plotting against the prince, the prince himself should know best!" Wen Xichi said.
Chu Liuyue's expression changed. He didn't know what was in the brocade box. He just saw his mother-in-law's expression change, and then told him not to open it, and then asked him to give away the hot brocade box. It is said that this is a troublemaker. If the emperor finds out that it is in someone's hands, it will definitely be a disaster.
Because of this mysterious brocade box, he had something to do with his later efforts. Could it be that someone else did this deliberately?
He got this brocade box in the palace. At that time, he saw a little eunuch running out of a place in a panic and happened to run in front of him. After he had someone catch him, the little eunuch was killed without saying a word. Leaving such a brocade box alone, Chu Liuyue was cautious when she saw the rust on the brocade box, did not open it, and went to find her mother-in-law De Fei.
The mother-in-law looked like she knew something, but was not sure yet. Her face changed drastically when she saw the brocade box.
If anyone in this palace wants to plot against him, the most likely person is the Queen.
I really thought it was a coincidence before, but then I was attracted by De Fei's demeanor, and I didn't think about other possibilities in this matter for a while.
Being reminded by Wen Xichi in front of her, Chu Liuyue immediately realized that she was afraid that she had fallen into the scheme of the Queen and her son.
For Chu Liuchen to marry Princess Yutao of the Ao Kingdom, it was not just him who had such an idea, the queen and her son should also think so.
He slapped the table with his hand, causing the dishes on the table to jump. Chu Liuyue suddenly stood up and walked back and forth twice before he stood still: "I have actually fallen into a scheme. !”
"If the prince's brocade box really comes with something different, then it will be normal if the next thing changes!" Wen Xichi said with a calm look, as if he didn't see the rage on Chu Liuyue's face.
"Please Yuan Qing teach me!" Chu Liuyue bowed to Wen Xichi to the end.
Wen Xichi stood up quickly and returned the courtesy.
The two people sat down again.
"If the prince's brocade box really comes from something different, then someone else wants to plot against Prince Chen's palace. They may be watching the show on the side, or they may expose the prince's affairs to Prince Chen's palace, so that Princess Chen knows that the prince's affairs were caused by the prince. What he did made Prince Chen’s Mansion and the Prince truly confront each other!”
Wenxi Chi Road.
Against Prince Chen's Mansion? Face off against Chu Liuchen?
Thinking of Chu Liuchen, Chu Liuyue's heart twitched for no reason. Black mist loomed in her eyes, and she was filled with jealousy and resentment. She was obviously her father's son, but why did her father take more care of this sick son than himself?
"It should be a good show. It is impossible to expose my behavior to Prince Chen's palace." Chu Liuyue shook her head and said decisively.
"Since we are watching a good show, there may be some other tricks in the dark. Maybe the people in Prince Chen's Mansion know some clues. Since there can't be any accidents here, it means that another secret party has leaked the information. "Wen Xichi said calmly.
Chu Liuyue was shocked, but after careful consideration, she felt it made sense, and nodded repeatedly: "There was absolutely no accident at my place, and I was not found here afterwards. It seems that there should be a third party involved in this matter. Later, I wanted to see my king’s good show, but I didn’t expect that people would find my trace.”
This explains everything about Prince Chen's Mansion.
Chu Liuyue's face was livid. He had always thought that he was the one sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but now he discovered that in this elaborate plan, he was the one at the front, and had long been spied on secretly.
Wen Xichi and Chu Liuyue did not leave the private room together, he left first.
After going downstairs, he met Yan Xi again with strange eyes. After the two looked at each other silently, Yan Xi smiled at Wen Xichi and raised the wine glass in his hand to Wen Xichi silently.
Wen Xichi went downstairs, walked straight in front of Yan Xi, and bowed her hands to him: "Yan Tanhua?"
"Master Wen!" After Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, he put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and bowed his hand to Wen Xichi as a gift.
Everyone around was stunned. Someone who knew Wen Xichi whispered to the people around him: "The number one scholar in the upper realm, the third son of Wen Xiang's Mansion!"
"Young Master Wen San!"
"Lord Wen!" The scholars who came with Yan Xi stood up together.
The number one scholar is always the most respected among scholars, and Wen Xichi is still young even now, which shows that he was even more famous back then.
Wen Xichi bowed with a smile, and then said to Yan Xi, "Master Yan, can you give me a glass of wine?"
"It's better to meet by chance than to invite me. I should invite Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, please!" Yan Xi said, looking around, there happened to be a table of people vacant near the window, and he hurriedly ushered him there.
The waiter had quickly cleared the table. The two of them sat down and the waiter brought tea.
"Master Wen, what about the previous case?" Yan Xi asked as soon as he sat down.
"It is indeed about this matter. I would like to ask Mr. Yan." Wen Xichi said calmly.
"Master Wen, please speak!" Yan Xi's face tightened, thinking that there would be any follow-up to this matter. Although Wang Shengxue died, this matter was considered over. It was said that Wang Shengxue was alone. As for his accomplice Ning Caixian, he was also assigned. .
The matter is completely settled here, but Yan Xi always feels that the matter should not be settled like this.
"Mr. Yan, do you think Wang Shengxue's case is related to the Xingguo Hou Mansion?" Wen Xichi asked straight to the point.
Yan Xi's eyes fell on Wen Xichi's face, he calmed down, and said: "Does the Criminal Department have any other doubts about this matter? The adult from the Criminal Department said before that the matter was settled, and there was nothing to do with anyone else. Relationships are just a matter for Wang Sheng to learn from one person!"
That's what the official from the Ministry of Punishment said at the time. After speaking, he turned around and left without giving Yan Xi a chance to analyze.
"The Criminal Ministry has closed the case. They also said that this matter is all Wang Shengxue's fault. But I think there are still some doubts in it. Does Mr. Yan think this matter has anything to do with Princess Chen?" Wen Xichi asked again , his sharp eyes locked on Yan Xi.
"Master Wen, how could this matter have anything to do with Princess Chen!" Yan Xi's face also darkened, and his eyes fell on Wen Xichi suspiciously.
"It has nothing to do with Princess Chen?" Wen Xichi asked again.
"It has absolutely nothing to do with it!" Yan Xi replied decisively. He really felt that this matter had nothing to do with Princess Chen.
"Is that related to Marquis Xingguo?" Wen Xichi's expression softened and he smiled slightly.
"It shouldn't matter!" Yan Xixin relaxed, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Although I lived in Xingguohou's mansion before, it was because of my elders' wishes that I had been studying behind closed doors in the past, and I had never met Xingguohou. Why would he harm me, a junior like me!"
Wen Xichi carefully observed Yan Xi's expression, and after a long while he said slowly: "That's because I was worrying too much. I thought there was something hidden about Wang Shengxue's matter. Since there is no such thing, it has disturbed Yan Tanhua!"
After saying that, he stood up and held his hands in greeting, and Yan Xi also stood up and returned the courtesy.
"Master Wen, you're welcome!"
Wen Xichi's eyes fell thoughtfully on Yan Xi's face again, and he was in a daze for a moment. He had seen Yan Xi in a dream. What does this person have to do with him now...
