Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1200 The chess piece that has been hidden for many years

As soon as Emperor Xixuan said this, cold sweat broke out on Eunuch Cao's forehead.

This question is of great importance, how could it be his little slave who can casually talk about it?It is wise to protect oneself!

Eunuch Cao bowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty doesn't understand, and this old slave doesn't even understand. I just feel that Miss Chu's family is not inferior to those famous ladies in terms of appearance or talent."

Emperor Xixuan turned his head to look at the old guy who had been with him for decades before him, and couldn't help but sneered, "You cunning, every time I ask you something, you always falter, no one can offend you, so what should I do? Do I share my worries?"

Eunuch Cao bent his waist even lower, and said in fear, "Your Majesty, the old slave is soft-spoken, stupid and stupid. Now that he is getting older, his brain is even worse. In the future, if you want to do physical work, you can ask your servant to do it. It’s a big deal, the old slave really can’t help.”

Seeing that he was so frightened by himself, Emperor Xixuan was not in the mood to ask any more questions. He sighed softly, "Time makes people old, and I am also old. From now on, the country will be handed over to the next generation."

Eunuch Cao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is still so young, how can he be old? Today the world is peaceful, and it is because of His Majesty's ability to govern the country well."

Emperor Xixuan shook his head and laughed, "You don't have the ability to do things, but your skill in flattering is beyond compare."

Eunuch Cao smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"You, you—"

There is really nothing to do with this old guy!

But after Emperor Xixuan restrained his smile, he became gloomy.

Ran'er's matter can only be postponed temporarily. After talking with Ran'er today, he found that Ran'er was too attached to Chu Qingyan, so obsessed that he had blinded his eyes. Yan has no feelings, but in fact, Xu'er is very satisfied with Chu Qingyan as his fiancée.

If he forcibly broke up the two of them, even if Xiao Xu had no feelings for her at first, to revoke the marriage in public would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to him. Even if he didn't like Xu'er, the son, he still wanted to protect the face of the royal family.

Moreover, Xu'er had already handed in the token at this time, and planned to return to Liancheng and never return to Beijing. For him, it was a great thing, and he could justifiably become the heir apparent, so he didn't want to make any more troubles.

Just thinking of Ran'er's pleading eyes before leaving, he suddenly hesitated again.

It is not impossible to betroth Chu Qingyan to the youngest son, but he needs some time to weigh it.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xixuan supported his forehead with a headache, "Cao Zhi, go back to the imperial study."

"Yes." Eunuch Cao followed immediately.

a few days later.

Concubine Yue knew that her son had already revealed his heart to His Majesty, but since His Majesty left the palace, he had no thought of bringing up this matter at all, and she was very anxious.

However, her condition has improved a lot in the past two days, but her mood is still very low. She is sick all day long and completely decadent. She is not as active as before. She feels that she should do something.

On this day, Dong Tingfan appeared in the Moon Palace.

"You sent me several letters one after another, but what's the hurry?"

Dong Tingfan was still dressed in a black robe, and his black hat tightly covered his face, only two eyes were exposed, making him look very gloomy.

Concubine Yue was very pleasantly surprised when she saw him suddenly appear. She didn't hide anything, she told about Ran'er's falling in love with Chu Qingyan, and then asked him what he thought.

Dongting Fan frowned when he heard the words, "Now is the critical moment for the establishment of the crown prince. His Highness is sick and troubled by love. If it gets out, it will affect the evaluation of those neutral ministers."

Concubine Yue said worryingly, "This is exactly what I was worried about. I originally thought that I could use His Majesty's hand to dissolve the engagement between Xiao Xu and Chu Qingyan, and then arouse Xiao Xu's resistance and confront His Majesty. At that time, we will accuse him of any crime." If it is planted on him, then he will have no room to stand up."

"Your plan is advisable. Xiao Xu is a sleeping lion. In the past, he accepted it just because he didn't touch his bottom line. Now it's a matter of face. If he resists, then it is considered a place for him." It is not impossible to be charged with treason, but the key is, will His Majesty do this?" After Dong Tingfan finished his analysis, he asked the most critical question.

After hearing this, Concubine Yue patted the table bitterly, "Up to now, His Majesty hasn't even heard from you in the past two days. The most recent ones are all sleeping in his bedroom. Maybe it's because he was afraid that I would ask questions, so he avoided me. .”

"Since Your Majesty is unreliable, did you have other plans to find me?" Dong Tingfan went straight to the point, he didn't like hearing her talk about the matter with Emperor Xixuan.

Concubine Yue couldn't help but said, "Brother knows me best, I do have an idea, I hope you can help me."

"Say it straight!" Dong Tingfan said without any surprise.

"You just said that now is the sensitive period for the crown prince, but there can't be any mistakes, so the uncertain factor of Chu Qingyan will affect his future journey, so I want you to solve her secretly If you don't break it, you won't stand. Maybe it will be painful for a while, but you won't be sad for the rest of your life. Only when Chu Qingyan dies can he marry Jing Mingzhu with peace of mind and concentrate on preparing to become the prince. .”

Concubine Yue has a vicious heart, and everything stands in the way of her son and the bright future of her family. She must uproot her and not allow even the slightest accident to happen.

Dong Tingfan neither agreed nor objected to her proposal.

"Don't you have a son who is very skilled in martial arts? It should be more than enough to send him to kill Chu Qingyan." Concubine Yue's eyes lit up, and she suggested.

Dong Tingfan remembered that he had just been hurt a few days ago, and it was inappropriate to send him out at this time, so he thought of someone.

"More than ten years ago, I planted a pawn beside Xiao Xu, and now it's officially coming in handy."

Concubine Yue also remembered that she had suggested to him back then that he would send someone to lurk beside Xiao Xu in order to be able to use it in the future, but after so many years, she had already forgotten it. Impressed.

"Can this work?" Concubine Yue was a little worried.

Dong Tingfan smiled softly, "I'm afraid no one would have imagined that this person would be from the Moon Palace, and he has won the trust of the entire Yingwang Palace, so this person is perfect."

With his words, Concubine Yue felt relieved, "Okay, I leave this matter to you."

Dong Tingfan nodded.

In the palace of the King of England.

Huang Yi was checking the newly purchased steamer, because Master Chu wanted to eat steamed buns recently, and the steamer in the kitchen was broken because it had been idle for too long, so she specially asked someone to buy another one.

After opening the steamer, she suddenly found a bamboo tube that was as long as a finger and wide. She picked it up and saw a note inside. She paused for a moment before taking it out and unfolding it.

Kill Chu Qingyan.

The inscription below is the unique symbol of Moon Palace.
