All of a sudden, the sixth princess asked nervously: "Is there something wrong with the emperor brother?"
Hearing this, Xiyun shook her head, "This slave girl doesn't know anything about it, I just heard that the emperor suffered some injuries, and now all the imperial doctors have gone to the emperor's place, but they haven't heard the news of His Royal Highness being injured."
Speaking of this, she suddenly said seriously: "I heard that King Zhennan was seriously injured in order to save the emperor, and he almost couldn't come back!"
Liu Yin frowned and continued to hold her head in deep thought. She wanted to not care about anything, but she never thought that this kind of thing would happen to her. Even if she hated the Liu family, killing her would not help. Her father and the queen He is the pillar of the Liu family. It would be too much of a fuss to set up such a big plan to kill him. The other party must have other purposes.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Zhennan Wang directed and acted himself. At this time, he pretended to be loyal to save the king. If he hadn't known that he was going to rebel, Liu Yin would have almost believed it.
For some reason, she suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that the King of Zhennan had a two-pronged approach, sending people to kill the emperor while sending people to kill himself, because if he died, Princess Qiyang would have a chance to become the princess, but this is also No, the crown prince will ascend the throne after the emperor dies. The crown prince has been assisting the government for many years. Even if the emperor dies, the court will not be in chaos, unless the other party has some backhands to murder the crown prince.
The more she thought about it, the more frightening she became. Liu Yin now understood her father's feelings. It was useless to retreat in his position, because he had already become a thorn in the side of others, so he could only go forward against the wind.
"Cousin, don't worry, since there is no news of the emperor's brother being injured, then the emperor's brother must be fine." The sixth princess thought she was still worried, so she couldn't help comforting her.
After a moment of silence, Liu Yin stood up suddenly and was about to go out to have a look, but as soon as she stepped out of the tent, she was stopped by several imperial guards who immediately said respectfully, "His Royal Highness told the princess not to go out in the tent."
After a pause, Liu Yin turned around and went back to the tent while looking at the scene of chaos outside. At this time, she naturally knew that the other party was doing it for her own good. Safe, just remembering the other party's previous intentions, as if he had long expected that there would be danger outside the palace.
Liu Yin didn't understand what the prince was thinking, she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and she didn't know what the other party thought of her, if it was only because she was his princess, why did she always protect her in the forest? , although the other party usually likes to teach people, but he cares about her. Even if he keeps saying that she is a spy, he has never really guarded against himself, and he doesn't even shy away from reading the scriptures.
Liu Yin never dared to have any narcissistic thoughts, perhaps, it was just because she had had skin-to-skin contact with him, and the other party subconsciously defended herself.
Can't get out of the camp, only Xiyun came back with news from time to time, until he heard that the emperor had returned to Beijing with the prince and others first, and the others followed slowly, obviously afraid of any accidents happening again.
Unexpectedly, the emperor would return to Beijing so soon, so it can be seen that the injury was not serious, and the other party took away most of the Imperial Forest Army, but Zhang Mo stayed and escorted them back to Beijing.
After packing up the things, it was almost evening when the big troops returned to the capital. When they returned to the East Palace, Liu Yin immediately wanted to ask the prince about the situation, but the people at the bottom said that the prince was still in Qianqing Palace and hadn't return.
When such a thing happened, the palace must be very chaotic, and there will be another investigation tomorrow, Liu Yin didn't wait any longer, she was indeed scared today, and went back to bed early to rest after taking a bath.
It was late at night and the whole palace was shrouded in darkness. The silent atmosphere was like the calm before the storm, depressing everyone's heart.
In the Changchun Palace, the candles were still lit, the queen was playing chess alone, and Bai Zi was looking at the chessboard thoughtfully, with an obscure expression.
Candles were burning in the hall, Hong Xing came in from outside the hall looking left and right, followed her to her side, and whispered: "The letter has already been delivered."
Hearing this, the empress just slowly put down the baizi, there was no wave on her beautiful and dignified face, under the candlelight, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were so clear, she was no longer young.
"Assassinated? What do you think?" Her tone did not fluctuate.
Hong Xing lowered her head, frowned and thought for a while, "I think this matter is quite strange. If you want to harm the emperor, why would you send someone to assassinate His Royal Highness, and you can also know the route of His Highness and others. You must know that Xishan is a big Very well, unless those assassins have been following His Highness all the time, but with the detection ability of General Liu and others, it is impossible for them not to have been discovered, unless... "
"Unless someone tipped off the news." The queen chuckled lightly.
Another sunspot fell on the chessboard, and Hong Xing immediately filled her a cup of hot tea again, and said seriously: "I heard that the son of Prince Zhennan is also with His Highness, what does your lady mean that King Zhennan moved?"
Caressing the tea cover, the queen slowly lowered her eyes, "Do you still remember the former queen?"
The sudden words made Hong Xing stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to expect her to mention this matter, she nodded immediately, "The first empress has a different temperament, she never fights or grabs, the emperor said that she would be safe when she had a difficult childbirth. However, the empress insisted on keeping her young, but fortunately, the emperor gave the crown prince to be raised by the empress."
"Disease?"
The queen suddenly sneered, "You also entered the palace with me, so now, do you still believe in the coincidence in this palace?"
Hong Xing's expression gradually changed, "This servant has indeed suspected Concubine De, but there is no evidence."
"Evidence? Evidence is the least valuable thing in this palace." The queen took a sip of her tea with a confused look on her face, "It was indeed her who did it, but she admitted it that day, and this palace believes that a person is about to die." She once."
Hearing this, Hong Xing was a little surprised. She didn't expect that it was Concubine De who did it, but yes, the eldest prince was just born, if the previous queen gave birth to an heir, he would definitely be the crown prince, but even if there is no His Royal Highness, can Concubine De be able to guarantee Are there no other princes in the palace in the future
"Do you still remember how the Fang family fell?" the queen said leisurely.
Speaking of this, Hong Xing immediately replied seriously: "My servant remembers that the Fang family was no different than the Liu family back then, and the master had a lot of disputes with Master Fang, but the emperor has always favored the Fang family, just waiting for the late queen to die. Afterwards, the Fang family also deteriorated year after year, and if it wasn't for His Highness the Crown Prince's help, they might have fallen out of the four great families."
Hearing her words, the queen's expression gradually became solemn, and she just looked at the chess game in front of her, "There are some things that I have never understood. Now I think it's not that I don't understand, but I just don't dare to understand. I hope it's still too late."
—
Xu Shi went to bed early, and Liu Yinsi woke up the next day, and it was still cool in autumn outside, and the maids were cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard, whispering to each other in twos and threes from time to time.
While combing her hair, Liu Yin noticed that Xiyun was always hesitant to speak. She glanced at the other maids, who immediately retreated out of the room. Seeing that Nanny Liu was not there, Liu Yin looked at her and asked: Said: "What happened?"
Could it be that the murderer was caught
Holding the comb, Xiyun took a step back, lowered her head with a strange expression, and then faltered for a while, "That's... that's when I heard this morning, the assassination was handed over to Prime Minister Lu for investigation, but the young master is Someone read a book, saying that the young master was responsible for the defense of Xishan, and that the young master was responsible for this kind of incident. Although the emperor believed the young master, the young master was indeed responsible for the assassination, and has now been taken to Dali The temple assisted in the investigation."
After finishing speaking, Xiyun immediately said seriously: "However, the emperor still believes in the eldest young master. Even if he enters Dali Temple to investigate, nothing will happen in the end."
With a tight palm, Liu Yin suddenly closed her eyes, only feeling that the blood in her body was tumbling, her elder brother is the future pillar of the Liu family, if something happened at this time, the Liu family would fall in half, then the Lu family and their Liu family have always been the same The deadly enemy, the meaning of the emperor's move is clearly revealed!
"Is Your Highness back?" She asked suddenly.
Xiyun nodded immediately, "Your Highness came back from the morning court, and he should still be in the study now."
Regardless of having breakfast, Liu Yin immediately got up and walked out of the house, just in time to bump into Liu Nanny who was coming back, without saying anything, she went straight to the study.
She has too many doubts, and she can pretend to be deaf and dumb about everything, but her elder brother can't do it. This matter is clearly premeditated, no matter how good the precautions are, what's the point, if it's someone else, it's okay to be afraid. The Lu family tortured her elder brother, and thinking about it made her feel depressed and panicked.
All the way to the outside of the study, Xiao Luzi saw her coming from a distance, and immediately went up to meet her, "I have seen the princess, Your Highness ordered not to be disturbed by anyone, or... would you like to come back later?"
Liu Yin glanced at him, without stopping, "Don't worry, I'll tell you that I broke in by myself, and I won't hurt you."
Seeing that the study door had been pushed open by her, Xiao Luzi suddenly had a bitter face, how could he not implicate himself
He knew why the Crown Princess came here, but the facts about General Liu are complicated. After returning from Xishan yesterday, His Highness has not rested until now. Not only has the flood in the south of the Yangtze River become more serious, but now General Liu has happened again. How can His Highness not be busy? .
Pushing open the door, Liu Yin looked inside, and saw a familiar figure sitting in front of the desk, suddenly remembered that the other person hadn't returned all night, and wondered if he had a rest, she closed the door, and walked over immediately.
"Brother Prince... Did you rest last night?" She asked softly.
The man looked at the official document and didn't look up, but just gave a "huh" in a neutral tone.
Seeing this, Liu Yin hesitated for a while, then took a deep breath, and slowly came to the desk, a trace of worry flashed across his face, "I... will something happen to my brother?"
The man looked down at the notebook with a serious expression, and didn't speak when he heard the words, but just took a pen to annotate on it, and understood that she only came to him because of the Liu family.
"Your Highness also saw what happened yesterday. The assassin came prepared, so I can't blame my elder brother. Of course, I am not trying to excuse him. A normal investigation is naturally necessary, but I am just worried about Prime Minister Lu. He I have always been my father's deadly enemy, what if he avenges his personal revenge and punishes elder brother?" Liu Yinyue said, the more he dared not think about it.
Hearing the chattering voice, the man suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, the angular outline still showed no emotion.
"Then what do you want to do alone." His voice was calm.
Hearing this, Liu Yin immediately took a few steps forward, held his arm with a small hand, and said seriously: "Can Your Highness... help me take care of my eldest brother, so that he won't be tortured."
After saying that, the whole study room was suddenly silent, Liu Yin stood there a little uneasy, for some reason, she suddenly felt that she was going too far, others seemed to have no reason to help her, so she couldn't help but slowly let go of his arm for a while.
As soon as he raised his eyes, Qin Yan just looked at her like a torch, and said in a low voice, "Is there only the Liu family in your heart?"
Looking at each other, Liu Yin choked for breath, his eyes dodged a little, and for a moment he forgot how to answer.
"Is there any suspicion that Dali Temple will investigate clearly? If this process is skipped because of a single sentence, what will be the rules from now on?" His voice was slightly cold.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became dignified, Liu Yin slowly lowered her head, her pink lips were tightly pursed, and her expression was a little complicated for a while.
Looking at the person in front of him, Qin Yan frowned slightly, put down the official document in his hand, and slightly parted his thin lips, "Did you ever take the husband in your mouth to heart?"
