"You have stayed here for so many years, don't you just want to help him to the top? How to deal with the two princes?"
With disdain in the corner of Qian Su's eyes, he glanced lightly at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager didn't care, and said indifferently, "Don't worry, the two of them don't need your help!"
"That's best, I'll go first!"
Qian Su didn't care about the result here, and turned to leave, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.
"With your ability, how could she have the chance to save you?"
What the Empress Dowager suddenly said was another matter.
"Don't you think you have too much to do?" Qian Su's face darkened for the first time.
"I have no other intentions, but I still want to remind you that that woman is not simple, not to mention that she is Chu Li's princess!"
Apparently in the Jiangnan Palace, the Empress Dowager knew all about Xiao Ting's rescue of Qian Su on the flower boat.
"You don't need to tell me about this, you better take care of yourself, don't accidentally bury it here!"
Qian Su didn't explain much, tossed off her robe, and strode away.
"hehe… "
The empress dowager was not angry either.
Standing there like a solemn painting.
"Take everyone down, and it doesn't matter if you encounter resistance!"
She gave such an order with a smile, obviously not caring about the life and death of the Great Elder and others.
In the underground palace, under the leadership of the Ninth Prince, Xiao Ting didn't know how far she had gone. Her legs felt numb and she couldn't stand upright at all.
"Where is this?"
It is impossible to tell the direction in the ground, Xiao Ting may be surprised that this very narrow passage seems to be very long, and she does not know where it leads.
And there isn't a single fork.
It is said that it is for people to escape, but it is too scary to walk so far.
Could it be that it leads directly to the outside of the imperial city
"I don't know either!"
How is Xiao Ting? She didn't expect the Ninth Prince to give her such an answer.
There is only one word in her mind at the moment.
Depend on!
He got to the entrance of the tunnel so eagerly, but he didn't expect him to say something, he himself didn't know where it led.
Don't just step out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den.
"Then let's go on like this, do you want to go back and have a look?"
Xiao Ting tried her best to speak calmly.
Although it is not a good idea to look back, but there is no light in the front.
"No, the road over there must have been blocked by them!"
Ninth Prince said bluntly.
"You don't have to worry about this passage, although I don't know where it leads, but the concubine told me!"
Xiao Ting let out a sigh of relief when she heard this, she is Concubine Yan, so she will not harm the Ninth Prince no matter what.
They can only choose to move forward at this moment.
As night fell, Yuchi arrived in front of Emperor Renxiao on time with a chill.
"Subordinates see the emperor!"
Emperor Renxiao waved his hand and asked him to stand up a little tiredly.
"I don't know if the emperor summoned his subordinates, but when it's time to do something?"
Yuchi felt a little puzzled, and looked around, but found no trace of the Ninth Prince.
"There's no need to look for it, the Ninth Prince's life or death is uncertain at this moment!"
Emperor Renxiao did not hide Yuchi's disappointment, and told him everything that happened in the underground palace.
"What do you think of this matter?"
Yuchi clapped his hands and replied without hesitation, "A Li will never betray you, the Emperor!"
"Look, even you believe him, but I dare not gamble!"
Emperor Renxiao got up and went to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast night outside, but couldn't open his brows.
"Your majesty, lord, he will never betray you!"
Yuchi was disappointed and eager to add.
"Besides, Sixth, he only heard the general idea."
Emperor Renxiao raised his hand to signal him not to say any more.
Then he asked another question.
"You said, if Xiao Jiu really betrayed me one day, what would it be because of?"
Yuchi looked at Emperor Renxiao with a chilling heart.
Finally, he realized that what he just said was superfluous. This time Emperor Renxiao obviously didn't believe that the Ninth Prince would betray him at all.
But obviously, something else happened that he didn't know about.
"The emperor..."
"No need to say much, you just need to answer me and think carefully about this possibility!"
Yuchi's heart was chilled, of course, it was Emperor Renxiao who heard the words and began to think seriously.
Not long after, he suddenly raised his head to look at Emperor Renxiao.
His lips trembled slightly but he didn't say anything.
"You thought about it too, didn't you?"
Emperor Ren Xiao sighed, "It is said that heroes have been saddened by beauty since ancient times, and I thought Xiao Jiu was an exception. After all, it doesn't matter how the world spreads him, but I understand that he will not be tempted by anyone, let alone pity anyone, but it is different now..."
"But Your Majesty, the Ninth Concubine never asks about these things, how could she?"
"Who can tell clearly about the affairs of the world, I hope that day will never come!"
"Okay, let's pretend that I have never mentioned this to you, and no one is allowed to say it, including Xiao Jiu."
Emperor Renxiao's solemn exhortation, Yuchi was heartbroken and naturally hurriedly responded.
"Have you found out the identities of those people?"
Speaking of serious business, Yuchi hurriedly replied in chills.
"Back to the emperor, Cheng Yunyi took Prince Yun to Yue Kingdom!"
"Yueguo, what are they going to do?"
In fact, after the Ninth Prince and Xiao Ting left, Yuchi Xinhan was assigned another task by the emperor.
He pretended to be threatened by the empress, and stayed in the palace to inquire about news for the emperor, paying attention to everything here.
But he must not act rashly.
Therefore, regardless of whether the emperor was poisoned later, or the third prince's private actions, or the empress destroyed Zuo Xiang's mansion, he dared not take any action.
The deployment and temptation of Emperor Renxiao cannot be broken.
If not, the Empress Dowager would not show up at this time.
This is a tragedy in Zuo Xiangfu, he still feels a little guilty after all.
Fortunately, he saved Zhaohua at the last moment, otherwise he would not be at ease in this life.
"According to my subordinates' inquiries, Prince Yun is the daughter of Princess Yue!"
As Chu Yun is a daughter, the people near him have always known about it, and it is even more impossible for the Ninth Prince to hide it from the emperor.
It's just that this news still surprised Emperor Renxiao.
"Isn't Xiaoyun born to the eldest girl of An Guogong's mansion?"
The Ninth Prince married two concubines in his life, and the first Ninth Concubine was the eldest daughter of An Guogong's mansion, Yun Huizhi and Chu Yun were also descended from her, this is known to the world.
"Xiaoyun was brought back by the prince!"
When he got the news, Yuchi Xinhan was also taken aback.
Later, after many twists and turns, I checked a lot of past events and found out that the news was true.
Chu Yun is not the daughter of the Ninth Prince.
Of course it wasn't born between him and Yun Huizhi.
"Nonsense, it's lawless!"
Emperor Renxiao was so angry that he slapped the jade table, the inkstone was overturned, and the folds scattered all over the table.
The ink mixed together and smeared, it was very chaotic.
"The emperor calm down!"
"You don't have to speak for him."
Emperor Renxiao was furious. Chu Li dared to hide such a big matter from him.
"Royal blood, how can it be confused? Let me find out, who is the so-called Princess of Yue Kingdom?"
"And who is Chu Yun's father?"
Emperor Renxiao was about to die of anger. The person he had always trusted the most was hiding such a big matter from him. The niece he had always loved was an outsider, or was he born to a princess from another country
Yuchi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly replied.
"It has been found out."
"Who is it?" Emperor Renxiao noticed that there was something wrong with Yuchi's chilling expression.
But insisted that he tell the truth.
"Yes, it's Mrs. Chen!"
Yuchi replied bitterly, ready to be punished.
When Emperor Renxiao proclaimed himself emperor, Chen Guiren was a taboo, and no one could mention it.
Especially in the palace, it is simply a taboo existence.
Because this Chen Guiren is the only emperor's woman who dares to have an affair with a foreigner openly and aboveboard.
And in full view.
At that time, when Emperor Renxiao first ascended the throne, Chen Guiren was a beauty presented by the State of Yue.
Emperor Renxiao loved her very much, but the good times didn't last long, but she was discovered to have an affair with the king of Yi.
When Emperor Renxiao knew about it, he went to ask her.
As a result, this Chen Guiren was also straightforward, and even knelt down on the spot to let Emperor Renxiao fulfill her and the king of Yi.
One can imagine how tragic the result was.
It would be impossible for any man to agree to her, let alone the monarch of a country.
The final result of this matter is said to be that both Chen Guiren and Yi Wang died of love.
Of course, this is the harem version. Everyone knows that Chen Guiren died of illness.
As for the truth, even Yuchi Xinhan, who is a hidden guard, doesn't know.
After all, he did not handle this matter, and he was not in the imperial city when it happened.
Royal secrets, the less known the better.
"What did you say? It's her? How could it be her?"
Emperor Renxiao was so sure that Yuchi believed that Chen Guiren was indeed dead that year, but why she gave birth to Chu Yun after so many years is unknown.
Obviously, someone interfered with this incident and saved Chen Guiren back then.
"It can't be her, she can't live till now."
In Yuchi's chilling impression, Emperor Renxiao has always been gentle and generous, sitting there steadily, holding everything in his hands, that high and mighty king.
He had never seen Emperor Renxiao so irritable.
Anxiety, irritability, disbelief.
With so many emotions suddenly concentrated on him, Yuchi felt a little overwhelmed.
This was not the Emperor Renxiao he knew at all.
However, the most obvious emotions in Emperor Renxiao's eyes were unwillingness and anger.
Could it be
A flash of wisdom flashed in Yuchi's heart, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"How could Xiao Jiu betray me? At such an early age."
Before Yuchi was disappointed and proved his conjecture, Emperor Renxiao said it himself.
Sure enough, the matter of that year was handled by the Ninth Prince himself.
That is to say, the Ninth Prince released Chen Guiren back then.
"Then who was the person who died in Bishuixuan?"
Emperor Renxiao muttered to himself as if he was crazy, and from his mouth, Yuchi learned the truth of the year with a chill.
After learning about such things, Emperor Renxiao did have plans.
Naturally, it was impossible to let the two of them go, but they didn't want to execute Chen Guiren either.
But that night, Chen Guiren set Bishuixuan on fire, and she herself was also buried in the sea of flames.
