After Tang Zhiyang said the last word, Jing Wang Chuyan became furious, kicked over the sandalwood table in the study, and smashed the floor with pen, ink, paper and ink. No one dared to say anything right here.

"Chu Wanning, Chu Wanning, what a Chu Wanning!"

As soon as Princess Jing entered the door, there was a porcelain cup smashed at her feet. She looked down and saw that this was the tea set that she had traced in the early years. The prince always liked it, but now she abandoned it like a shoe. She didn't know if it was impatient. Didn't recognize it, still didn't think much at all.

The fingers holding the scarf tightly tightened, and Princess Jing breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, A Yao has been taken away by his master.

Chu Yanyu's anger did not disappear: "The princess is not in the Yaoguang Pavilion to accompany the guests. Could it be that Chu Wanning said something?"

"Just look at the face of the concubine Chen, in the name of the princess, the prince should still call her the emperor sister, and she should be careful." Princess Jing carefully avoided the broken tiles, walked to him and comforted softly, and quickly suppressed Chu Yan's anger.

The Jing Wang has a strong temper, but he wears a gentle and stable shell. In contrast, this princess is too soft, as peaceful as a pool surrounded by a rockery in a courtyard, and even if the eyebrows are frowning, it is graceful like a spring breeze blowing over the water.

No wonder Jing Wang didn't accept a concubine even if he had only one son. He treated her wholeheartedly. He didn't shy away from big or small matters. In addition to the relationship with the Tang family, many also trusted the princess.

Seeing that Chu Yan suppressed her anger, the princess said: "The princess did not say much, but said,'The inheritance of blood is not easy. Both she and her husband are not young, so you should be very cautious with your children, not to mention your majesty's old age. Pay more attention to grandchildren'."

As soon as these words were made, Tang Zhiyang's face instantly became ugly.

Princess Jing glanced at him and said: "The plan of the Datong Temple should be discussed in the long term. For this matter, it hurts the children and makes trouble with the princess. It is not good for the Tang family or the concubine."

She stopped talking and put down the ginseng tea made by herself when she finished speaking. The maid quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor, and then she took the people away without any delay.

After Chu Yan watched her leave, he motioned to Tang Zhiyin to close the door. In addition to them, there were two people in the study. One was a tall, brave young man, and the other was a middle-aged man with white face and long beard.

Lieutenant Lin, the dark guard of the royal palace, Zheng Qiu, the minister of war.

The dark guards of the Ming army, all here, it can be seen that Jing Wang has been a little uncontrollable.

Zheng Qiu has the highest seniority among the four, so he sneered at Tang Zhiyang and said unceremoniously: "The princess is so powerful, Zhiyang, you married a good wife!"

Since early today, Chu Xun asked himself to pray for blessings, and Chu Yan went back to his mansion to call for deployment, intending to take this opportunity to use his hands and feet, and even if he died, he will peel off his skin. Whether he is disabled or disfigured, he will lose the opportunity to gain treasure , And managed to pour dirty water on other princes, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Princess Yuning went to the imperial court to petition, but this plan had to be shelved.

She is the only daughter of Concubine Tang Chen and the wife of Tang Zhiyang. She is still pregnant now. If it is because of the slightest mistake in their actions, it will be difficult to explain afterwards.

Even though Concubine Tang Chen has said more than once that Princess Yuning is eccentric with her, she is still reluctant to bear the only biological flesh and blood. Moreover, her existence is also a great bargaining chip for Concubine Tang Chen, who died in Emperor Chongzhao. Don't be offended before.

"She did this to make Chu Xun a talisman. For this reason, she threatened her uncle with herself and her children. She went to the palace tonight and put us in front of the father. If something happens, the palace cannot escape. Interrelated." Chu Yan looked gloomy, "Therefore, not only can we not start this time, but we must protect others."

Zheng Qiu frowned and said: "How did Princess Yuning know that we were going to do it?"

Chu Yan looked at Xiaowei Lin, his voice turned cold: "Gu Xiao, where did you go today?"

As the master of Chu Xun, and the most junior in the Palace of King Jing, he is indeed the most doubtful person. At the beginning, Chu Yan was willing to let him accept Chu Xun, but he also moved to place it next to Chu Xun as an eyeliner. However, after all, the other party was not a confidant of his own hand, and he should never be negligent.

"Return to the prince, the subordinates don't know." Xiaowei Lin bowed his head in fear, "He is very light, and there are secret guards all over the city of Tianjing. The people under him dare not follow too closely, only knowing that he has not entered today. Palace."

Chu Yan said coldly: "Seven years ago, I handed the dark guard forces into your hands, but it took him only three years to turn you into a blind man."

There was a chill behind Lin Xiaowei. At the beginning, he was the first to kill Gu Qifang and stay Gu Xiao, because compared to the experienced and ruthless Gu Qifang, a junior who had just come out of the world was obviously better in control and use. However, after the past three years of study, when Gu Xiao more than doubled the secret guards in Jingwang's Mansion and spread the dark nets all over the city under the emperor's eyelids, the contempt that had been made had already turned into fear.

If the soul-burial palace lord who lives far away in Mistral Ridge is a demon in human skin, Gu Xiao is a demon tree that grows in light but roots in darkness, growing fast with flesh and blood, regardless of martial arts vision It is still a scheming method, which has made everyone in the house afraid.

They took three years to turn a wolf pup into a hungry wolf.

School Lieutenant Lin wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge more than once, but all his hands and feet have concerns. If you don't pay attention, you will show up. When the time comes, the trouble will be even worse. He can only hook him with Gu Qifang in fear, like walking on thin ice.

Since I can't kill people to seize power for the time being, I can only stay steady for the time being. Fortunately, there were few clues left. Gu Xiao was seen under the eyes of King Jing again, and it was difficult to obtain accurate and useful information on this matter.

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly said: "The prince, although Gu Xiao and Chu Xun have the name of mentor and apprentice, but he and the son of the world are more mentor and apprentice, not to mention that the Datong Temple matter is a temporary motive. He should not Knowing in advance, naturally there is no time to leak information."

"If it weren't for him, how did the news leak?" While speaking, Zheng Qiu fell on Tang Zhiyang with a glance, the unfinished meaning was clearly revealed.

Tang Zhiyang clenched his five fingers: "Master Zheng thought it was the general thief who called to catch the thief?"

Wait for Zheng Qiu's irony, Chu Yan spoke: "There is another possibility... Wang Hao."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all three of them were shocked, and Zheng Qiu muttered: "How could the princess..."

"Today later, she sent someone to send a new fragrance to her mother and her concubine. The maid reported that the princess was also there at the time. The fragrance was named'Tong Ning', and the wooden box had a hand-painted'shougong' pattern." After a pause, Chu Yan picked up the ginseng tea and rubbed the smooth wall of the cup, "I didn't think about it until this tea..."

Lieutenant Lin said in amazement: "Is the tea poisonous?"

"The princess wouldn’t be like this, but she was careful and cautious, and she wouldn’t forget that this king hates this taste the most." Chu Yan threw the teacup on the table and spilled half of rice paper, blurring the unfinished letters on it, "Ginseng is like life, vertical After suffering, she regained her favor, and she was finally classified as Baishui... She is warning the king and stop."

Zheng Qiu thinks more: "Is this the princess's own meaning, or the meaning of Tang adults?"

Tang Zhiyang shook his head: "My father and the prince have already joined forces in a boat. Is there any reason to turn back at this critical juncture?"

"Women are always easy to feel soft, especially if she has Ayao." Chu Yan said lightly, "Ayao is already eleven years old. If this king is not a problem, his life is always safe and prosperous, and the princess does not expect What great prospects can he have, that alone is enough. If this king fails, even this kind of life will never return. She is willing to live and die with this king, but she is reluctant to share the joys and sorrows of Ayao with us."

As the brother of Princess Jing, Tang Zhiyang immediately said coldly: "From a woman’s point of view, he will grow others' aspirations and destroy one's prestige before a major event!"

"The worries of the princess are not unreasonable. This king does not blame her, but...this king hates losing the most, so naturally he will not lose." Chu Yan squinted his eyes to Xiaowei Lin. "Three years, Yi In your opinion, do you think Gu Xiao is still credible now?"

Xiaowei Lin said: "As long as he doesn't know the truth for a day, he is credible."

Chu Yan lightly pressed his forehead: "But how can there be any paper under the sky that can hold the fire?"

He was embarrassed and hesitant, because he was reluctant to pay attention to the benefits brought by Xiao. After all, as the prince, countless people saw his every move. Secret planning is very important, almost representing the eyes and ears of the decision-making.

Lieutenant Lin was in charge of the dark guards for seven years, and he could barely fight against other forces until Gu Xiao came and spent three years reorganizing some of the descendants who had glimpsed in the past, and then re-arranged the deployment of the dark guards for training. Now the entire Tianjing City All of his voice and face were placed in front of Chu Yan, and Gu Xiao was held between his palms.

It is for this reason that he has fear.

Gu Xiao can grow up like this, how long can Gu Qifang keep things from him?

Since breaking the arm to avoid future troubles, or try to delay and deceive?

Zheng Qiu said: "About Gu Qifang, besides the four of us, how many others are insiders?"

Lin Xiaowei said: "At that time, the dead soldiers who went to the Soul Burial Palace with his subordinates have all become sealed dead. Afterwards, their subordinates also personally took people to burn Feiyun Peak. The living creatures in the mountain are desperate and there is no grass. , In this world who knows the truth and can still live, only Palace Master Helian is left, but..."

Chu Yan frowned: "But what?"

"This time the subordinates went to Mizongling and contacted the Soul Burial Palace. The Lord Helian sent a person and said that the prince might be useful."

Tang Zhiyang asked: "Who?"

"One of his men is said to have taken orders to guard the Weeping Blood Cave three years ago and tortured Gu Xiao."

Chu Yan was startled, then laughed: "Okay! Thank you Helian Palace Master for this king!"

Lin Xiaowei said: "Palace Master Helian handed over the people to his subordinates and asked his subordinates to bring a word to the prince."

When Chu Yan was in a happy mood, he said: "What did he say?"

Lieutenant Lin hesitated for a moment before he said: "Palace Master Helian said that his old injuries have recurred, and the spirit of the soul burial palace is in urgent need of rectification. At the same time, Mizongling is far away from Tianjing Mountain. This incident has more than enough heart but insufficient energy. , I have to wait for the day when the prince gets what he wants, and then go to Tianjing to toast and congratulate you."

The smile on Chu Yan's face disappeared.

Zheng Qiu and Tang Zhiyang frowned. The cooperation between Prince Jing's Palace and the Soul Burial Palace has always been secretive and vital. At this critical juncture, the Soul Burial Palace does not advance and retreat, which is not good news.

What does He Lianyu mean?

For a long while, Chu Yan asked unclearly: "The palace lord’s old injury relapsed, what kind of injury? Is there a serious problem now? You, but have you seen it?"

Lin Xiaowei hesitated for a moment, and said: "This time his subordinates have been invited to the forbidden area of ​​the main peak by an exception. He saw Palace Master Helian practicing luck in the cold spring. He did have three sword wounds on his body.

Tang Zhiyang was startled: "Sword wound?"

"The two are on the front of the chest and the back, both of them are very close to each other, and the other is on the shoulders. You can cut the neck and seal the throat by two minutes... With subordinates' eyesight, you can confirm that this is old Wound, but the wound was difficult to heal, and it cracked again recently."

Chu Yan finally showed shock: "Who can hurt him so far?"

Lin Xiaowei said: "A dead man."

The other three people in the house finally settled. Since they are dead, no matter how terrible the other person was in his lifetime, they are not afraid now.

Chu Yan slowly took his seat and tapped his finger on the table: "Since the palace lord is not rejecting, that's it. With his gift, this king can completely tie Gu Xiao onto the battleship. But rest assured for the time being...Lin Dynasty, the guests from the north are coming, you have to be prepared."

He said vaguely, Xiaowei Lin immediately understood: "Yes!"

At this moment, a confidant announcement came from outside the door: "Lord, Lieutenant Gu, please see me."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the four people in the room looked at each other. Zheng Qiu's special identity first left from the secret road. Lieutenant Lin quickly recovered the machine. Then Chu Yan said: "Let him come in."

Gu Xiao walked into the entrance door with a full body of Fengchen. He didn't look at or talk a lot, and he went straight into his arms and presented a thin page of paper, saying: "Tonight, the genus went down to the Zuichun Tower and watched. When he went to the Ministry of Rites to engage in prostitutes illegally, he used some means to ask out something, and asked the prince to have a look."

There were only a few words on the paper, but Chu Yan's eyes stayed on it for a long time, before turning it to Zheng Qiu for a long while, staring at Gu Xiao closely: "Is this serious?!"

"Your Majesty will establish the emperor's grandson three days later, and the edict has been drafted." Gu Xiao said, "The will has not been officially issued. Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to prepare, which shows that the determination has been made."

Chu Yan's face was sullen, and Tang Zhiyang said coldly: "Although taking a concubine but not a concubine, but if this grandson does not establish a son, your majesty is not afraid of incurring objections?"

"He can't believe us." Chu Yan smiled coldly, "Even though Brother Erhuang is silent now, but his remaining power is still there, he is backed by the Situ family, plus the resentment and resentment of Qin Gong's case, if the father is elected He, I'm afraid he can't even close his eyes...As for the king's younger brothers, except for the fifth, they are all useless. Unfortunately, he is a natural nine-finger. How can he be the emperor if he lacks physical form?"

Gu Xiao said: "If this is the case, the prince should be what everyone expects."

Chu Yan's face is even more ugly. It is a thick resentment and resentment, which is fleeting and returns to normal in an instant.

Tang Zhiyang said at the right time: "Master, we might as well try again."

Jing Wangdao: "What to try?"

"Try the views of the hundred officials on this matter, and try your majesty's attitude towards his descendants." After a pause, Tang Zhiyang said solemnly, "Ten princes are straightforward, if they learn about this, they will definitely not be silent... Come, if it succeeds, it will be hard to violate the consensus. If it fails, it will make it difficult for King Duan to take care of himself. The more muddy the water, the more beneficial to the prince."

Jing Wang was startled, then laughed: "Okay!"

Gu Xiao didn't say a word, and became a silent stone statue with Lieutenant Lin. It is the right way to be a secret guard with few words. Don't say a word when you should not speak.

When King Jing saw him, he suddenly said: "Lieutenant Lin, you have been to the southwest for more than a month, have you found news about the Burial Palace?"

When Xiaowei Lin heard the words, he immediately remembered the sum of the talents, and came up with the words that he had already thought about: "Return to the prince, his subordinates were ordered to investigate who the royal family colluded with the funeral palace, and ventured into the Wandering Ridge, accidentally found the past participation One of the victims of the Lieutenant Gu’s matter has been taken back to the palace secret..."

Lieutenant Lin didn't finish his words, because he looked at Gu Xiao and his voice stopped abruptly.

The young man who is not as weak as the crown has a faint complexion, looks too calm, a hand on the handle of the Jinghong knife, slowly rubbing, his voice is colder than this autumn night cold wind: "Oh?"

He caught Gu Xiao's eyes.

The blade broke the cold light from the square inch box.
