After thinking about this, Emperor Tiansheng paced back and forth in the palace with his hands behind his back, thinking about what to do next.

Liufu watched Emperor Tiansheng frowning and pacing, but the letter confused him, and he was worried about the few people involved, which was a tricky matter. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is a major crime that will punish the nine clans.

Emperor Tiansheng has been on the throne for decades, and he knows the intrigues hidden under the hearts of this person and the city walls, everyone wants power and wealth, and there is often no pure trust between people.

He recalled that when he was a teenager, he was also secretly harmed by forces from all sides, and he almost lost his life.

At this time, Emperor Tiansheng had already made up his mind that such a treason must be behind someone's back.

Tiansheng Emperor thought about this, and nodded involuntarily, feeling a big sigh of relief in his heart. He began to suspect that there must be someone in the palace who was deliberately targeting his son and daughter-in-law, and by correcting these people, he could find out the truth of the matter and overturn these vague hints.

These people first rumored that Long Yuanxiu died in battle, and then counterattacked Zhuang Mingyue's treason, there must be a big conspiracy behind this.

The ministers of the DPRK and China asked for clarification of the life and death of the Second Highness every day, and for a time the people's hearts were in turmoil. The frontier is still at war, this war has been going on for too long, but how can a country without a spine stand in this melee.

Recently, one thing after another has been circling in Emperor Tiansheng's heart, he waved his hand, signaled Liufu to step forward, his eyes drifted out of the window, and he lowered his voice and said to the eunuch: "Spread my news, order the secret guard to come to see me quickly, remember not to leak the news."

After Liufu got the emperor's dictation, he understood that this was a big deal, and walked out of the palace quickly.

Liufu understood that Emperor Tiansheng's secret guards were scattered all over the palace in places that no one could see.

The code Emperor Tiansheng wrote it down on a piece of paper and handed it to him, and after he found a secluded corner and did so, the secret guards quickly arrived in front of him from their hiding place. Liufu quickly explained Emperor Tiansheng's message, and after hearing it, several people went to the palace in hiding.

Emperor Tiansheng had already retreated before this, and then looked at the secret guards in front of him, and gave them an order: "You are all masters in this palace, now I want to give you a task, the two highnesses and their husbands have been framed many times recently, and there have been treasonous letters recently, and now I order you to find out who is smearing Zhuang Mingyue's girl behind her back."

Luofu handed the letter to the side, and Emperor Tiansheng handed the letter to one of the secret guards.

He rubbed the corners of his sour eyes, and then said: "This is evidence, someone sent it to me to slander Zhuang Mingyue's girl for treason." The dark guard took it over and took a closer look and found that it was a fragment that someone had deliberately spliced, and everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.

"Presumably you also know that in the recent frontier battle between our dynasty, His Royal Highness is now uncertain about his life and death, I hope you will find out the truth as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation."

Emperor Tiansheng gave the final order, thinking in his heart: his son could not die so easily, he had a lot of kung fu and strategy, someone must have harmed him, and when the matter is clarified, he summoned Mingyue's girl to ask what happened.

After listening to Emperor Tiansheng's next order, the secret guards who were kneeling on the ground and waiting for them said "yes" in unison, and then flew out of the window to find clues.

After Emperor Tiansheng watched the dark guard stay away, he went to deal with government affairs, and the next thing to do was to wait. These guards will find out who is behind the scenes, and then the truth will be revealed and everyone will be explained.

The imperial city was full of people, and every day was bustling, and the faces of the people were full of pleasure in a comfortable life.

These guards interspersed among the people, investigating without leaving a trace, and the first thing they investigated was the treasonous letter. The guards divided them into three routes, one to investigate the source of the letter, the other to investigate the messenger, and the other to investigate the source of the rumor.

The source of the letter was soon discovered, and the messenger had been in and out of a mansion on the outskirts of the city, and his whereabouts were secret. After the secret guards roughly determined the direction of the next investigation, three secret guards infiltrated the mansion and hid in the shadows to follow the clues. The doors of this mansion are closed on weekdays, no one goes out, and everything is very strange.

Several other secret guards later investigated the messenger along the way, and found that Zhuang Mingyue's letter had been intercepted.

Investigating along the way, a suspicious person was found, and after inquiry, a portrait of this person was drawn, and the person who intercepted the letter was identified by the guards who were lurking in the dark, and he was also from the family of this mansion.

Everything looks like it's about to surface, but it's hard to catch the tail.

After observing the mansion for a few days, the three secret guards who infiltrated the mansion found that most of the people in the mansion were extremely skilled and suspicious, and they were at risk of being exposed at any time, so they stopped collecting clues and quietly left the mansion.

All the guards converged and told the results of their investigation for a few days, and after discussion, it was decided to investigate the mansion again and find out who was behind it.

The three secret guards disguised themselves as big businessmen who traveled north and south during the day, and after explaining the situation to the township chief who managed the area, they were told that the mansion had been bought by the dignitaries in the capital.

A few people tossed and turned. found that it was actually in the name of His Royal Highness, and no one entered or left this mansion on weekdays, but there were often voices, and no one dared to ask on weekdays, which gave them a new direction to trace.

The dark guard conducted another three days of investigation, and almost had mastered most of the clues of the matter, and the people were unpredictable, and the investigation of the source of the rumor was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

But at present, all the evidence they have collected points to Long Zhengning and the mansion, and they secretly asked among the neighbors, and some storytellers said that if His Royal Highness died in battle, it would be His Highness who would benefit the most, and several people were confused.

The secret guards took advantage of the night to return to the palace and explain the results of the investigation to Emperor Tiansheng. Emperor Tiansheng was furious when he heard this, it was Long Zhengning who framed him behind his back and smeared his own brother.

Emperor Tiansheng also understood at this time that Long Zhengning had no desires and no desires on the surface, but in fact, the wolf's ambition was clearly revealed, and he actually laid out such a big game of chess.

Emperor Tiansheng already had a grudge against this former prince, and after that incident, he was even more wary of him everywhere. He was not as healthy as before, and he couldn't deal with that incident in time, so he demoted him to the lord of the prefecture, never thought that he would not be satisfied, and even more intensified, which was really hateful.

The lights of the palace flickered in the wind and struck on people's hearts one by one. Emperor Tiansheng understood that he was too old, and he was no longer the young man he was at the beginning. There is no extra energy left to suppress Long Zhengning, otherwise it is not impossible to be counterattacked.

After that, it's all a contest between young people, and he's already old, for these

The affairs of political parties are already more than enough.

He sent Liufu to summon Zhuang Mingyue at night, all of this was going on in secret, so as not to be noticed by Long Zhengning's people.

Zhuang Mingyue hadn't been in contact with Long Yuanxiu for a few days, and she was a little tired and tired in her heart.

Today, Emperor Tiansheng's attendant eunuch Liufu suddenly came to visit, brought Emperor Tiansheng's message, and ordered her to enter the palace at night to meet her. When night came, she lifted her spirits and entered the palace while it was dark.

She was led all the way to the palace of Emperor Tiansheng, who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Emperor Tiansheng saw Zhuang Mingyue dressed in the night, waved his hand hurriedly, and said: "It's all a family, don't be polite, sit down, summon you today, I have something to say to you, let's have a good chat today."

Zhuang Mingyue was slightly short, and responded, "Yes, Your Majesty." After that, he sat down on the chair across a table from Emperor Tiansheng.

The candle swayed slightly with the night breeze, and Emperor Tiansheng took a sip of hot tea and said, "Mingyue, take a look at this letter first, this is indeed your handwriting, has someone tampered with it?"

Zhuang Mingyue was shocked when she saw the letter, this was the letter she contacted Long Yuanxiu, but at this time, part of the content was intercepted, pointing to her treason.

Zhuang Mingyue immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Mingyue is not treasonous, this is a good correspondence between me and Yuan Xiu, but part of the content has been intercepted, which is slandering the courtiers."

After hearing this, Emperor Tiansheng understood that his guess was correct, and he helped Zhuang Mingyue up and said, "Mingyue, I believe that you are not treasonous, otherwise I would not have summoned you today."

Zhuang Mingyue smiled when she heard this, she raised her head and said: "Your Majesty is willing to believe me, great, a few days ago, Sanqing sent a letter to tell Mingyue the news that he and Yuan Xiu were both safe, but there have been too many rumors recently, and I was afraid that the rumors would leak, so I didn't tell you in time." However, they wanted to cooperate with their neighbors to attack the Yue country, which was tantamount to seeking the skin of the tiger, so I wrote to persuade him. ”

Emperor Tiansheng thought about it at this time, it is inevitable that neighboring countries will bite back, and Xiu'er is still too young for political matters after all.

He understood Zhuang Mingyue's decision very well, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Mingyue, why hasn't Xiu'er returned to China yet?"

Zhuang Mingyue's eyes darkened, and then he said in a low voice: "He was framed during the frontier campaign and escaped by luck."

The calculations of this palace are hidden under the hearts of the people, and these are often the things that people can't see through.

After hearing this, Emperor Tiansheng understood why Long Yuanxiu had not returned to China so far, Long Zhengning wanted him to die on the battlefield without doing anything, and he created rumors again if he couldn't do it, once the news of his return to China was leaked, if he returned to China at this time, he didn't know how many plots he would encounter.

Emperor Tiansheng took Zhuang Mingyue's hand and patted it gently to show comfort, and he continued: "Mingyue, I have already investigated, all this was done by my eldest son, I don't have much energy to help you anymore, I really don't have enough energy to help, I can only help you after the incident."

Zhuang Mingyue understood Long Zhengning's viciousness, and Emperor Tiansheng was right not to interfere.

Besides, all this is a matter between several of them, and it is not appropriate to have many involvements. She was not surprised at all when Emperor Tiansheng made this decision, fortunately, Emperor Tiansheng was on their side.
