Xie Mingxi looked calm and did not show any emotion.
Li Xiangru saw this in his eyes, and for some reason he sank again.
She had been classmates with Xie Mingxi for several years, and she knew the temperament of Xie Mingxi, her old rival. At this time, Xie Mingxi was clearly showing that Zhizhu was planning everything...
What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind Sheng Hong's assassination?
Who took those three crossbows from the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War?
Who was it that secretly planned that earth-shattering assassination?
It can't be the fourth prince, absolutely impossible. The fourth prince has been living in the Ministry of War for a month, and he must have tracked down the real culprit. Soon, the truth will come to light. The fourth prince will be able to clear all suspicions...
Li Xiangru tried her best to convince herself in her heart, but uncontrollable panic surged in her heart.
Xie Mingxi, who was sitting diagonally opposite, looked over with a smile but not a smile: "Why is the Fourth Emperor's Wife so unstable?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Xiangru's slightly pale and pretty face. Looking at the dignified and calm Li Xiangru, he squeezed out a stiff smile and denied it: "The seventh brother and sister misunderstood."
"I was just thinking about who it was that dared to tamper with the Ministry of War, take away the bow and crossbow, and assassinate the Seventh Emperor. Thinking that the truth will be revealed today, I am also happy for the Seventh Emperor."
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Li Xiangru and said pointedly: "No matter who this person is, our husband and wife are sworn to be incompatible with him! If we don't cut him into pieces, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in our hearts!"
The last sentence reveals a deep coldness.
Li Xiangru's heartbeat was rapid and chaotic again.
Before a crisis comes, people always have some inexplicable premonitions and intuitions. At this moment, Li Xiangru's heart was inexplicably cast into a shadow.
Queen Yu's eyes glanced over Li Xiangru's face, and a sarcastic curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Yin Xiaoxiao quickly exchanged glances with Xiao Yuhan.
The clash of swords and shadows in the court hall was frightening.
The verbal exchanges in the harem also contain shocking murderous intentions.
Xie Mingxi has never been a merciful person who just accepts the situation. On the contrary, she is best at "hitting the snake only seven inches" and "taking advantage of the victory to pursue".
Li Xiangru's momentum had been completely crushed, but Xie Mingxi had no intention of sparing her, and said calmly: "Brother Four Emperors has been thoroughly investigating this matter at the Ministry of War. The sister-in-law of Four Emperors must have heard a few words from Brother Four Emperors."
Words are.”
Li Xiangru was stabbed in a painful place again.
The fourth prince has been living in the Ministry of War and has never returned to the mansion. To say the least, even if he returned to the mansion, he would never tell her such important matters.
When Xie Mingxi said this, it was clear that she deliberately hurt her heart.
Li Xiangru refused to show weakness and responded calmly: "Your Highness is worried about this matter. In order to find out the cause of the matter as soon as possible, he has been living in the Ministry of War and has never returned home. I have no way of knowing, which has disappointed my seventh brother and sister."
Xie Mingxi smiled leisurely: "Sister-in-law of the Fourth Emperor is serious. The truth will come out today. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. I still have this little patience."
I've always been very patient.
Because I know that victory will eventually belong to me and Sheng Hong.
…
After this, it was time to wait until the dynasty dispersed.
Eunuch Lu came with a normal expression, bowed respectfully and reported: "To inform the Queen, the Emperor has ordered his servants to come and deliver the message. I have to summon several princes to discuss some trivial matters, so I will not come to Jiaofang Hall for lunch."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Queen Yu asked calmly: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be secretive when speaking. Why did I summon the princes to discuss matters? Did something happen to the court?"
Eunuch Lu hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice: "As for your Majesty, today at court, His Highness the Fourth Prince will first report the results of a thorough inspection of the Ministry of War. Unexpectedly, His Highness the Third Prince then came up with a secret letter. The secret was
Only the emperor has read the letter, so I really don’t know what is written in it.”
"However, I think the content of this letter is quite important. Therefore, after the emperor dismissed the dynasty, he summoned all the princes to Yiqing Palace."
Secret message?
Queen Yu's eyes flashed and she nodded slightly: "I understand. You go to the Yiqing Palace to wait for me first. If there is any change, you will send someone to deliver a message to me."
Eunuch Lu respectfully accepted the order and retired.
Empress Yu glanced at Li Xiangru's suddenly stiff expression, and then glanced at Xiao Yuhan, whose expression was equally serious, and said half-jokingly: "You two don't have to worry. The third prince and the fourth prince are all the emperor's beloved sons, and the emperor is
No matter how angry you are, you won't be able to lift a finger from them. Just relax."
After hearing this "comfort", Li Xiang, Xiao Yuhan and others became more and more uneasy. They looked at each other subconsciously. Soon, they moved away.
"That's what the mother said." Xiao Yuhan stood up first and responded softly: "It's my daughter-in-law's wild thoughts that make me laugh."
Li Xiangru also stood up quickly, with a look of shame on her face: "My daughter-in-law is also worried too much, so she has lost her etiquette. Please forgive me, Queen Mother!"
Queen Yu smiled slightly: "It's just a trivial matter. I only joke casually, so you don't need to take it to heart."
"It's already noon. I ordered people to pass on the meal. You all will stay and have lunch with me."
All the daughters-in-law immediately stood up and responded together.
At this time, they were all worried about their husbands and had no intention of leaving the palace. They would rather wait in the Jiaofang Palace.
…
Move to the Qing Palace.
Emperor Jianwen sat at the top with an expressionless expression, his gaze passing over the faces of his sons like a knife blade.
All the princes have grown up. Each one of them has a slender figure and handsome face, each with his or her own style, standing neatly in front of them. It is enough to make a father proud.
In the past, Emperor Jianwen had always been proud of his outstanding sons.
Especially the fourth prince whose appearance and temperament resemble his own when he was young.
If it weren't for the fact that he liked the fourth prince too much, he would have already followed Queen Yu's wishes and made the third prince his crown prince. It is precisely because he prefers the fourth prince that he has delayed it until now.
But what on earth did the son who made him most proud and favored him do?
"Sheng Hao!"
Emperor Jianwen called him by his first name: "Take this secret letter and read it carefully!"
The fourth prince's body tensed up slightly.
Only when Emperor Jianwen was really angry would he call him by his first name.
What is written in this secret letter?
The fourth prince stepped forward and took the letter, opened it and read it. Before he finished reading the page, his handsome face flushed with anger. He knelt down with a plop: "Father, calm down! What is written in this letter is pure slander.
I have never tried to buy people's hearts in the Ministry of War, nor have I placed any personnel. This letter was definitely not written by Chief Ding! There must be someone with malicious intentions who deliberately framed my son! Please enlighten me!"
Emperor Jianwen was already suspicious, so how could he be moved by these empty excuses?
What's more, there was Sheng Hong on the side who added insult to injury: "Brother Four Emperors, it's better to be patient and read the letter before complaining!"
