Chapter 1,209: The Aggrieved Prince Qing

"Your Majesty, please conduct a thorough investigation of Marquis Xingguo!" Prime Minister Wen walked out from the stairs, saluted the Emperor and said seriously.

"Please, Your Majesty, conduct a thorough investigation of Marquis Xingguo!"

"Please, Your Majesty, conduct a thorough investigation of Marquis Xingguo!"...

One after another, officials came out of the steps and saluted the emperor. If it is not true, don't be afraid to find out! If it is true, the consequences of this matter are too serious, and the responsibility must be heavy!

"Your Majesty, this matter should indeed be investigated clearly. The old minister is ignorant." Zhang Xiang said, with a face full of shame. After speaking to the emperor, he bowed deeply to Chu Liuchen, "King Chen, the old minister did not pay attention to it before, so he was negligent. at this point."

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome!" Chu Liuchen smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.

"Father, the Marquis of Xingguo must be investigated, and the Prince of Qing County must also investigate. I remember that one of the daughters of Marquis Xingguo has entered the Prince of Qing County. There is also a son-in-law relationship between Marquis Xingguo and the Prince of Qing County!" Chu Liuyue stepped up from the steps. Come out, Tao.

These words reminded the officials present, and they all looked at Chu Qing with suspicion in their eyes.

The relationship between the Jiang family who was involved in the incident at the Xingguo Marquis' Mansion and the second young lady who entered the Prince's Mansion in Qing County did not seem to be very good. It is impossible for a concubine to have much affection for her vicious aunt.

First, something happened to the Jiang family, and then it was brought to Prince Qing's Mansion. Is there any connection? Could it be that Prince Qing deliberately helped Marquis Xingguo in order to divert other people's attention?

Thinking about it this way, it seems possible.

Chu Qing secretly gritted his teeth in anger. Inexplicably, he changed from a victim to a possible colluder, and he also put so much effort into acting. On the one hand, it represented that Shao Jing was on his side, and on the other hand, it also showed that he was not ambitious. He is small and has a lot of strength, otherwise how could he create such a big thing.

Cover up Jiang's small things with big things?

"Your Majesty, the relationship between Wei Chen and Marquis Xing Guo is normal. Shao Jie'er entered Wei Chen's house and has no contact with Marquis Xing Guo's house anymore. She is just a concubine. It is inevitable that she was not close to Jiang in the past. Jiang has a vicious heart. , I can’t tolerate people, and I raise a concubine who is very timid, and I don’t dare to see many people.”

Chu Qing took a step forward and described Shao Jie'er as a pitiful concubine, and said that it was true that Shao Jie'er had a bad relationship with the Jiang family. After entering his Qingjun Prince's Mansion, he never went to the Xingguo Marquis Mansion again, and it was impossible to be with him. What does Xingguohou Mansion have to do with it?

"Let's find out first!" The emperor was silent for a moment and said coldly. This matter had to be discussed in the long run. He had to find out clearly in secret. Regarding the former eldest son of Duke Xingguo, there were some things that others didn't know, but he knew. Originally, he thought It was really an accident. If it wasn't an accident, he really wanted to find out and give Shao Jiang justice.

The emperor stood up and walked inside. The eunuch shouted: "Retreat!"

All the officials had their own thoughts, and after saying goodbye to each other, they walked out slowly.

Chu Liuchen still left late. Not only was he late, Chu Liuyue, Chu Liuzhou, and Chu Qing were also late. Even King Cheng, who came to court today and didn't say anything, also left very slowly.

"I heard that Uncle Cheng and Marquis Xingguo have a good relationship. Do you think Marquis Xingguo might do such a heinous thing?" Chu Liuzhou was the first to take offense. He stopped, turned to Prince Cheng, and asked with a smile. A little cold.

If King Cheng really did something secretly, then the things that happened to him before were probably all done by King Cheng. The more Chu Liuzhou thought about it, the more annoyed he became. The smile on his face looked like a fake smile. very.

He used to think that King Cheng was nothing

I wanted to join Buddhism and become a monk, but it turned out that I might have been wrong. What the Queen Mother said was indeed true. King Cheng was ambitious.

"What do you mean by King Zhou's words?" King Cheng smiled calmly with a kind expression.

"Don't you know, Uncle Cheng? I heard that Marquis Xingguo would go to talk to Uncle Cheng from time to time, even if Uncle Cheng lives in a temple outside the city." Chu Liuzhou snorted coldly.

"I live outside the city. No matter who comes to see me, I will never refuse. Not only the Marquis of Xingguo, but also the King of Zhou, King Yue, and King Qing have come several times. Does this mean anything? ?" King Cheng raised his eyebrows and became displeased, "If King Zhou suspects anything, you can go and tell the emperor directly. Don't say anything that is not true to make the emperor angry. Didn't the Queen teach King Zhou? "

"You..." Hearing him mention the contempt in the Queen's words, Chu Liuzhou almost got angry, but suppressed it with the last bit of self-control. If something hadn't happened to his mother, how could he have tolerated King Cheng's words.

But the news coming from his mother from the palace now told him to keep a low profile. No matter how low-key he was, he must not cause trouble again.

"Second uncle, don't say that. We go to see Uncle Cheng from time to time because Uncle Cheng is our elder, so it's not a big deal!" Chu Liuyue said with a smile.

Chu Liuzhou became more and more angry when he said this. The person he disliked the most was Chu Liuyue. He was obviously the eldest son, but because Chu Liuyue was above him, he always thought he could compete with him.

He is the legitimate son of the middle palace, so Chu Liuyue is nothing!

He snorted coldly, said nothing more, turned around and left. He really didn't want to say anything to Chu Liuyue, a hypocrite.

"Uncle Cheng Wang, my second brother also heard what he said just now and felt that Uncle Cheng was suspicious, so he asked a few more questions, hoping that Uncle Cheng would not blame him!" Chu Liuyue said with a smile as if he was polite to many people and would not blame him! Chu Liuzhou accompanied the ceremony with such a gentle and elegant manner that the officials who saw him couldn't help but nod.

Compared with other princes, His Royal Highness Yue Wang is the most courteous and virtuous corporal. Although his face is always cold, he is actually quite good. Any matter is easy to discuss and solve.

"King Yue is too polite, it's not a big deal!" King Cheng said nonchalantly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Chu Liuchen walking proudly between the two of them, as if he didn't even see the two of them talking. , his face was cold, without a trace of smile.

The wide sleeves were thrown onto the two people's robes, and the two of them took a step back involuntarily.

Chu Liuyue squeezed her hand hard, and the veins in her hand were exposed, but there was only a gentle smile on her face, hiding the anger in her eyes. Chu Liuchen was nothing, he was just the son of the late emperor. Even though his father was gone, he still looked up to him and legitimately said that he could inherit the throne.

Why should this sick man be so arrogant? As a prince, he is not so arrogant, but he is so arrogant.

The father's partiality is unreasonable. His own son is just average, and he treats a sick son as if he is his own son. Chu Liuyue has to doubt that she is not the father's son, but Chu Liuchen is!

Although King Cheng was forced to take a step back, his expression was not stiff at all. His smile was a bit gentler and more flexible than Chu Liuyue's. It was not the kind of stiff-faced smile. He shielded Chu Liuchen and walked away with a bright look in his eyes. Gentle;: "King Chen must be impatient with us talking about this kind of thing. He has always been in poor health. He must be very annoyed by such a quarrel!"

fundus

His kind smile seemed to be truly tolerant of Chu Liuchen.

"Third brother's health doesn't look very good yet. He feels uncomfortable after just a while. He needs to be treated properly." Chu Liuyue nodded.

"Indeed, I have to ask the imperial doctors in the palace to diagnose and treat him again. His body can no longer go wrong." King Cheng nodded, with a look of approval.

Chu Qing, who was standing behind them and blocked by them, felt the veins on his forehead popping out.

These two people just talked, so why did they happen to be in front of him? He didn't know how to talk like Chu Liuchen, so he could only wait quietly beside them.

Seeing Chu Liuchen walking away in a hurry, he felt envious and jealous at the same time. Why was he the son of the late emperor, and he was so miserable? Chu Liuchen could be so wanton, just because Chu Liuchen had been raising him With the Emperor and the Queen Mother?

In this case, why didn't the mother-in-law try to send him to the Queen Mother and the Emperor? He believed that the mother-in-law had this strength.

Whether the mother-in-law was too cautious or miscalculated, she felt inexplicably depressed. If she had been able to make the decision at that time, she would have gone to the palace early to accompany the Queen Mother. At this time, Chu Liuchen would not be favored alone. .

"Why hasn't King Qing left yet?" Chu Liuyue asked with a smile as if she had just seen him.

"Remembering what happened last night, I walked slowly for a while." Chu Qing smiled hypocritically, and had to explain hypocritically. He couldn't say that the two of them were blocking his way, and he couldn't be like Chu Liuchen. Leave it alone.

"Prince Qing, what happened in Prince Qing's residence yesterday? The fire shot up so high and burned down many houses, right? What did those men in black want to do? Did they just want to burn down a few rooms in Prince Qing's residence?" Chu Liu Yue asked puzzledly.

"This... may be an assassination attempt!" Chu Liu said vaguely. He still doesn't know why this happened.

"Assassination of you? What can Prince Qing do to assassinate you?" Chu Liuyue asked.

Chu Qing's face changed. These words sounded very bad, as if he was mocking him. If he had done nothing, no one would take a fancy to him. He was just an idle prince.

But if he did something, what did he do that prompted people to attack him?

Chu Qingmin looked at Chu Liuyue with disbelief. Could it be that the person last night belonged to Chu Liuyue?

"I am a leisurely person and usually have nothing to do. I really don't know why someone would assassinate me and make such a big fuss." Chu Qing said vaguely, looking at the two people opposite him calmly. These two people are the most suspicious. It is certainly not accidental for two people to stay together.

He didn't believe in such chance.

Why has no one stopped him before?

"Prince Qing, think about it carefully. Is there anything in the house that can be spied on? If so, you should present it to the emperor as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble again!" Compared to Chu Liuyue, Prince Cheng looks really good. Like an elder, he gave a few clear instructions before leaving slowly.

He didn't listen carefully to what Chu Liuyue and Chu Qing were saying, nor did he pay attention to what was going on between the two of them.

"It's because of the sudden attack in our palace. Prince Qing should listen to Uncle Cheng and go back to the palace to investigate!" Chu Liuyue said calmly, not intending to stay any longer. Chu Qing was currently at the center of the storm, and It's not a good thing for him to be too close, as it can easily attract others' attention.
