Chapter 273 Top Secret

The conversation with the emperor went well.

It is nothing more than the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries when the prince is appointed, and after the prince is appointed.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor also paid some attention to the physical condition of the Queen and the Prince Regent. He couldn't help but wonder when he learned that both of them were fine.

Didn’t it mean that Her Majesty the Queen was crying all day long?

His mental state must not be very good.

However, these details were obviously not worth mentioning when it came to the appointment of the crown prince and the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The emperor suppressed the strange feeling that came up in his heart from time to time and finished the necessary talks with Rong Zhan in a friendly manner.

"I'm preparing a grand banquet tonight——"

"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Xuanyuan Rongzhan declined gently, "Mr. Be prepared in advance.”

The emperor then looked at Chu Qinghuang and said with a smile: "I will order the inner court to have you measured tonight. The prince's clothes, crown, and accessories must be prepared in advance. When Qintian has calculated the auspicious day, I will do it for you." Hold the registration ceremony.”

Chu Qinghuang was not particular about the registration ceremony and nodded lightly: "Just keep everything simple."

"We can't be simple." Xuanyuan Rongzhan said, "You are the newly recognized daughter of the Regent of Dongling, and I can barely be considered your brother. Since we have come all the way here, we have to witness the grace of my sister being appointed as the crown prince. ”

"Yes, yes, the King of War is right, it must be grand." The emperor nodded, "Don't worry about the treasury, this amount of money is still affordable."

The money saved by Sui Gong is enough for Qinghuang to hold ten registration ceremonies.

"It doesn't matter." Xuanyuan Rongzhan said domineeringly, "If the Xiqi treasury is tight, I, Dongling, will be responsible for all the expenses required for the registration ceremony."

Is this because he is afraid that others will not know that Dongling is wealthy?

Chu Qinghuang looked at them silently, speechless for a moment.

One dares to speak and the other dares to answer.

People who don't know think they are the same.

But since they cooperated so happily, she didn't need to say anything more. Although only they knew that this reserve was obtained by relying on the strength of their natal family, there was actually no difference in essence.

Anyway, she was destined to win the throne. Whether she had strong help from her mother-in-law or not, the only difference was the time and how many people died.

After the business talk was over, the eldest princess returned home, and the two distinguished guests went with her to the eldest princess's mansion.

On the way out of the palace, she met some officials one after another, as well as several princes who were specially waiting for her. They all had complicated expressions and seemed hesitant to speak.

Chu Tianzheng and Chu Tianyin had cold expressions on their faces, as if they were raising an army to accuse them. However, when they saw Dongling War King and Chief Assistant walking over with her, they were unable to say a word.

"What do you two have to say?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, "It looks like someone has cheated on you, with an expression of bitterness and hatred."

Chu Tiankuo and Chu Tianzheng were instantly furious, and almost wanted to order someone to pull him out and kill him with a stick. However, when they thought of this man's identity, their rationality returned instantly, and they turned pale and pale with anger.

Chu Qinghuang was reluctant to take another look at them before, but now she was naturally not interested in entangled with them anymore, and quickly walked towards the palace gate.

The group left the palace.

At this time, in the Yugan Palace, the head of the dark pavilion flashed in like a ghost, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty."

His Majesty the Emperor was immersed in the joy of appointing Qinghuanghuang as his heir. When he heard the voice, he raised his head and glanced at the minister: "Is something wrong?"

"yes."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, please step back."

The emperor's smile faded slightly, he glanced at him thoughtfully, and casually ordered: "Chen Hai, go and inform the Qintian Supervisor and ask him to come see me in half an hour."

"Slave, go right away."

Chen Hai raised his hand and dismissed all the chamberlains and maids in the palace, and followed him out with lowered eyebrows and eyes.

Only the emperor and the head of the dark pavilion were left in the palace.

The manager stood up and walked to the case, presented a secret letter with both hands, then stepped back a few steps, bowed his head and knelt down.

The emperor frowned, and without saying a word, he reached out to take the secret letter, opened it to read carefully, and his eyes fell on the clear and familiar line of handwriting. His pupils suddenly shrank, his expression condensed little by little, and his whole person became gloomy and cold.

The air in the hall seemed to be falling rapidly, and there was a biting cold current.

No one spoke for a long time. The emperor stared at the words on the secret letter, his fingertips clenched until they turned white, and his eyes were so cold that he seemed to burn through the rice paper.

The head of the dark pavilion knelt quietly, waiting for his imminent death - those who knew the secrets of the royal family had only one way to die.

Only the dead can keep secrets.

Time passed little by little, and the air became uncomfortably oppressive.

It seemed like a long time passed. It was so long that the emperor's body was as stiff as a stone sculpture. It was so long that his eyes were sore and sour. Then he raised his head stiffly and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Where did you get this?"

"In the third prince's study."

"Has anyone else read the contents of the secret letter?"

"The third prince has seen it, and my subordinates... my subordinates have also seen it." The head of the Ange lowered his eyebrows and replied, "King Zhenbei had previously entered the third prince's mansion and had a secret conversation with him in the study. Soon after, Feng The family was sentenced to exile because of Feng Wanyue's poisoning to kill the eldest princess. The subordinates have found out that the poison Feng Wanyue handed to the maid of Prince Xuan's palace came from the hands of the third prince's aunt A'dai. "

very good.

The emperor slowly clenched the secret letter into a ball in his palm.

If he didn't understand before, why Chu Tianyin had to abandon the Feng family after having the King of Zhenbei - and even took the initiative to frame the Feng family.

Then now, he understood everything.

If he didn't understand before why the Queen Mother insisted on supporting Concubine Feng and Chu Tianyin, and ignored the other grandchildren, then now, he also understood.

So that's it.

The emperor exhaled gently: "So apart from Chu Tianyin and you, no third person knows?"

"Should..." An Ge clenched his palms and whispered, "Should not."

Paused, "Such a confidential letter, the third prince should not let others see it easily."

"But he had a secret talk with the King of Zhenbei." The emperor's tone returned to normal, slowly took the lid of the gilded incense burner, raised his hand and threw the rice paper in his hand into it, and watched coldly as the flames instantly devoured the rice paper, "The King of Zhenbei should have known it."

The swaying flames reflected the majestic eyebrows of the emperor, and there was a sense of sinister and treacherous for no reason.

The head of the secret chamber didn't say anything, but his attitude was tacit.

It didn't matter whether Chu Tianyin showed the secret letter to the King of Zhenbei or not. What mattered was that the emperor thought he had seen it, so he must have seen it.
