One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Rong Jiu was originally the most suitable person among the princes to be the crown prince, and many people had secretly begun to think about how to have a relationship with him.
Unexpectedly, he would be imprisoned for such a heinous crime overnight!
Suddenly, the entire imperial capital changed!
"I heard that the third prince's biological mother, Ying Guiren, was murdered by the queen back then. He had been holding a grudge against her for many years, so he took action against her!"
"Who can know about the harem? But even if it is true, this third prince is too impulsive. As long as he can win the position of prince, he will do whatever he wants? He just did it at this moment."
"After returning from the Northwest Army, His Majesty has not let him go back for a long time. He is naturally anxious. After all, the Queen's funeral ceremony is so simple. Don't you still see the problem?"
"Even if His Majesty hates the Queen, he cannot allow the Third Prince to kill her. It can only be said that he is doing his own thing!"
"These princes are now useless, imprisoned, and ill. If they continue like this, there will be nothing left to choose from."
When Chu Liuyue walked through the street, she could still vaguely hear some whispers.
Although no discussion is allowed on the surface, there are so many things happening in the palace that it is difficult to ignore them.
When she arrived at Prince Li's Mansion, she found that the security here had been significantly increased.
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
The entire imperial capital was almost in chaos, and it didn't seem that easy for Prince Li to stay out of the incident.
Seeing Chu Liuyue, the guards at the door quickly greeted him diligently.
"Miss Liuyue, you are finally here! Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chu Liuyue curled her lips slightly and walked in.
When he saw Rong Xiu, he was taking a nap in the bamboo forest in the backyard.
On the stone table, there were two cups of freshly brewed tea and a half-played chess game.
The breeze blew, and a few emerald green bamboo leaves fell on Rong Xiu's snow-white brocade robe, making him even more cold and noble.
"Your Highness, did you know I was coming?"
Chu Liuyue brushed the branches and leaves in front of her eyes and walked over.
Rong Xiu picked up the porcelain cup that was as clear as jade, and a white mist curled up, making it almost impossible to see the deep expression in his eyes.
His crimson thin lips were slightly raised, and his smile was as gentle and calm as ever.
"This is the tea I brewed myself. How does it compare to yours?"
Chu Liuyue sat down and picked up another cup.
The fragrant fragrance hits the nose, lingering in the nose, refreshing the heart and mind.
Chu Liuyue took a sip.
After the slight bitterness, there is an endless aftertaste of sweetness.
She nodded honestly:
"Your Highness's skills are much better than mine."
Compared with him, the ones she picked up were really not worth it.
Rong Xiu smiled and shook his head.
"But I only like the ginger tea made by Yue'er. These teas are good, but I don't like them."
Chu Liuyue gave him a slightly angry look.
"Your Highness is still in the mood to joke at this time?"
"This king indeed thinks so."
Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Besides, what does this mean?"
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes.
The entire imperial capital was in chaos, but this guy was the only one who could still be so leisurely making tea and playing chess in his backyard.
It's really calm.
She shook her head and asked straight to the point:
"You already knew that His Majesty was going to attack His Highness the Third?"
Rong Xiu had mentioned before that someone wanted to frame Rong Jiu and blame him for the queen's death.
But Chu Liuyue never expected that that person turned out to be Emperor Jiawen!
No matter what, Rong Jiu is his biological son. What he does is tantamount to sending Rong Jiu to death!
Rong Xiu's expression remained unchanged, with a casual smile on his lips.
"Since Yue'er already knows what's going on, why bother asking me again?"
This is admission.
Chu Liuyue frowned, still full of doubts.
"But why would your Majesty do this?"
If he doesn't want Rong Jiu to inherit the throne, there are many ways.
At the very least, Rong Jiu is now trapped in the imperial capital, with almost all military power confiscated, and cannot make any waves at all.
What's more, Rong Jiu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has made great achievements in battle. Even if he throws away his identity as a prince, he can definitely be considered a big credit.
Why did Emperor Jiawen insist on killing everyone
"Your Majesty knows full well that the person who killed the Queen is—"
Situ Xingchen!
Until now, this news has been tightly blocked.
"Yue'er is suspicious that Father is looking at Situ Xingchen?" Rong Xiu asked with interest.
Chu Liuyue shook her head.
Judging from the situation that night, Emperor Jiawen definitely did not want to let Situ Xingchen go.
He just wanted something from her.
But there is really no need to blame the queen's death on Rong Jiu.
The royal family is ruthless, she knows this very well, and even has unforgettable painful memories.
However, Emperor Jiawen obviously had another purpose in doing this.
Rong Xiu smiled lightly and said:
"If he keeps his peace and becomes an idle prince in the imperial capital, his father will naturally not do anything to him. It will make him determined to do this."
Looking at the meaningful look on his face, Chu Liuyue suddenly understood something.
"Your Highness means that the Third Prince—"
Rong Xiu dropped a chess piece.
Snapped.
Chu Liuyue lowered her eyes and took a look, and her heart was shocked!
As soon as this piece fell, the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard that were originally in a stalemate suddenly broke the deadlock! Fight like crazy!
Rong Jiu actually wanted to rebel!
Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any other reason for Emperor Jiawen to do this!
"How does Your Highness know?"
As soon as Chu Liuyue asked this question, she couldn't help but regret it.
As long as Rong Xiu wants it, he can know everything!
However, Rong Xiu's expression became a little subtle.
Chu Liuyue looked into his eyes, and suddenly felt blessed, and her eyes widened in shock:
"Could it be—"
Rong Xiu looked at her deeply, suddenly the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he waved to her.
"Yue'er, come here."
Chu Liuyue stood up and walked over without knowing why.
Rong Xiu held her hand and looked at her intently. There seemed to be a whirlpool in his deep and clear eyes that made people sink unconsciously.
".Your Highness?"
Chu Liuyue called him softly.
"The one who knows this king is Mo Ruoyue'er."
Rong Xiu closed his eyes and held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to keep her by his side forever and never let her go.
She always knew what he was thinking.
From then till now.
