"Smooth ride?"

There were only Xiao Zhen and Xiao Ming in the main hall, and in the face of Xiao Zhen's words, Xiao Ming's brows couldn't help frowning.

"That's right, this time while the seventh brother is in Chang'an, I will take the initiative to confess the matter of the Dutch to my father, and my father will inevitably be furious at that time, and I hope that the seventh brother can say a few good words for me."

Xiao Ming couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "The third brother is not the third brother, before I can make trouble, the third brother will take the initiative to confess to his father, it seems that the third brother has already guessed that I will shake this matter out in the court." ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming finally figured out Xiao Zhen's purpose.

Since the Cao family transferred part of their industry to Qingzhou, the king of Chu probably knew that the Cao family had told Xiao Ming about the Dutch, so he discussed the matter with Xiao Zhen.

At this time, Xiao Zhen also learned that someone was going to assassinate Xiao Ming, so such a scene was staged in front of the palace gate.

If Xiao Ming died, he naturally didn't need to worry about anything, if Xiao Ming didn't die, he could use this matter to trade with Xiao Ming, in order to prevent Xiao Ming from taking the initiative to sue.

Otherwise, once Xiao Wenxuan learned about this, he would inevitably be very dissatisfied with the King of Chu, and even thought that the King of Chu was going to rebel, and his throne was far away from then on, and even lost Xiao Wenxuan's favor.

Xiao Zhen smiled wryly, "Isn't it?" The Cao family visited the seventh brother more than once, and even supported the seventh brother's Northern Expedition, I don't believe that Cao Zhengyang didn't tell you about the Dutch. “

"Needless to say, the Cao family said that this king is also clear, my fleet has not only seen the Dutch, but also the Britons." Xiao Ming said lightly.

Xiao Zhen glanced at Xiao Ming again in surprise, and he couldn't see through Xiao Ming's details more and more.

After a pause, Xiao Ming said: "Let's talk about the clues you know, and I will speak for you in front of my father when the time comes." “

After receiving Xiao Ming's promise, Xiao Zhen sighed, "So far, it seems that only the East Palace has not been searched." “

"Prince?" Xiao Ming's heart sank.

"I didn't say this, I only know that the prince has a hobby, which is to pretend to be a barbarian to have fun in the East Palace, so he has always liked to collect mongrels with barbarian blood." Xiao Zhen smiled lightly, "I only learned this secret recently. “

With his eyes rolling, Xiao Ming stood up, he couldn't get any clues from Xiao Zhen, and now he could only start from the East Palace.

But the crown prince is the prince, this time Du Yu did not dare to lead people to search the East Palace, after all, without Xiao Wenxuan's order, no one dared to go.

"In that case, I'll go to my father and search the East Palace now." Xiao Ming said loudly.

Xiao Zhen also stood up and hurriedly said, "I don't know about this matter, I hope that the seventh brother will no longer be father and the emperor will not mention me." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, ignored Xiao Zhen anymore, and left Xiao Zhen's palace directly.

Looking at the back of Xiao Ming's departure, a sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Zhen's mouth, and at this time, a person walked out of the corner, it was Li Zhong, the household servant.

"Your Highness, this trick is really clever to kill two birds with one stone." Li Zhong said with a smile.

"Uncle has won the award, this is just a small trick, now Xiao Ming is gaining the favor of his father, if his father learns that this matter was done by the prince, he will definitely strengthen his determination to abolish the prince, because it will be difficult to appease Xiao Ming if he does not abolish the prince."

Li Zhong smiled: "What's even better is that Xiao Ming can also use it for us to prevaricate the matter of the Dutch." ”

Xiao Zhen laughed, but his face changed, and he suddenly said, "But is this really the prince's doing?" I've always felt like it's not that simple. ”

"It doesn't matter if the prince did it or not, as long as the assassin is found in the East Palace, the prince's position will not be kept." Li Zhong said.

Xiao Zhen nodded slowly.

Outside the door, Xiao Ming returned to the palace with the guards.

He wouldn't believe all of Xiao Zhen's words, but he also believed that Xiao Zhen wouldn't joke with him about the Dutch, and now Xiao Zhen's words were the only clue.

When he arrived in the palace, Xiao Ming went straight to the imperial study, where he met Du Yu.

"Ming'er, the left and right guards searched Chang'an City, but they didn't find any clues of the assassin." Xiao Wenxuan said to Xiao Ming with a headache.

Du Yu glanced at Xiao Ming cautiously, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is actually one place that has not been searched. ”

"Where?" Xiao Wenxuan rubbed his brows in pain, because of this assassin's matter, all his plans were disrupted.

"East Palace." Du Yu said cautiously.

Xiao Wenxuan opened his eyes suddenly, he stared at Du Ming, then looked at Xiao Ming, and said slowly for a long time: "I will go to the East Palace with you." ”

"Father, the crown prince is the future prince, the matter is big, forget about this matter, Erchen believes that the prince's brother will not do this."

Xiao Ming didn't expect Du Yu to be the first to mention this matter, but he said it to the province.

However, on the surface, he still has to refuse, after all, this matter is very sensitive, and he doesn't want to be hung up as a coveted prince.

"The prince is my son, and you are also my son, since you believe that the prince is innocent, why not search it, let's go." Xiao Wenxuan stood up and took the lead in walking towards the East Palace.

The East Palace and the Imperial Palace are adjacent palaces, and once the crown prince is promoted, the prince will move into the East Palace.

Since then, the East Palace has been like a small imperial court.

From the side hall of the palace, the group directly entered the East Palace, and when they learned that Xiao Wenxuan was coming, the prince immediately greeted him.

But when the prince saw Xiao Ming, his face immediately changed.

The news of Xiao Ming's assassination had already reached the East Palace, which made him gloat a little, but now that Xiao Wenxuan brought Du Yu and Xiao Ming to the East Palace, the meaning was different.

"Search!"

Xiao Wenxuan's expression was cold, not to mention the assassination of Xiao Wenxuan, even the assassination of an ordinary prince was enough to make him angry, this was a provocation to his imperial power.

Du Yu answered, and searched the East Palace in the stunned eyes of the prince.

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with the sons, Xiao Ming, are you framing me!" The prince said angrily.

Without waiting for Xiao Ming to speak, Xiao Wenxuan said: "This matter is my idea, the entire Chang'an City has been searched, why can't you search your East Palace." ”

The prince opened his mouth in surprise, cold sweat gradually broke out on his head, and his eyes also swirled around with Du Yu.

Knowing that the son is not as good as the father, the strange appearance of the prince was seen by Xiao Wenxuan, and his heart suddenly cooled in half.

At this time, the searching soldiers suddenly shouted, "He's a barbarian half-blood, catch him!" ”

As the voice came out, the sound of swords clashing came.

Xiao Wenxuan's expression changed greatly, he kicked the prince to the ground and scolded: "Bastard! You really did it, and you've disappointed me so much! ”

The crown prince looked dazed, and he said eagerly: "Father, this is not what you think!" (To be continued.) )
