Chapter 338 Something is wrong

(Third watch! There is not even a safety talisman...cry!)
Tomorrow is the ceremony for the inscription. The celebration in the Third Prince's Mansion has reached its peak, and the anxiety and tension in Zhu Xuanming's heart have also reached its peak.

There was not much joy on his face, but it became more and more gloomy. Even looking at the nine-pronged crown that symbolized his status, he didn't have much joy in his heart.
He was worried about whether tomorrow's ceremony would be successfully completed, and whether there would be any mistakes; he was worried about the situation after moving to the East Palace, and whether he could adapt; he imagined whether he would be better than now after becoming the prince...
It wasn't until this moment that he finally realized that the most festive words said by Emperor Chongde also meant the most dangerous.Accompanied by Rong Xian, it was a panic like facing an abyss.

He is about to be canonized as a prince, he is different from other princes in Dading, he is the most honorable prince.This also means that there is only one path for him to take in the future: becoming king!

Otherwise, what awaits him is a death beyond redemption.Since ancient times, I have only heard of the abolition of the prince, but there is no such thing as the abolition of the prince.If he can't be enthroned as king, then the current prince's honor will be lost!He could only keep moving forward, unable to stop for half a step.

At this moment of glory, what Zhu Xuanming felt was not the joy of having power and glory in his hands, but... the anxiety that could not be relieved!

The officials of the Third Prince's Mansion have already left, leaving only the guards here.These people all understand that His Highness the Third Highness is nervous, what they need most is to figure it out quietly by themselves, and what they hate the most is someone walking around.

In December, the sun was sinking rapidly to the west, and the sky was already dark before it reached You hour.Wearing a fox-fur cloak, Zhu Xuanming walked silently through every palace and pavilion in the mansion, recalling what happened inside, as if saying goodbye and wandering in nostalgia.
Finally, he stopped outside Wuben Building, the small building he was most familiar with.

The Wuben Building is modeled after the Qinzheng Building in the palace. In the past six years, he has spent the most time here.Here, he listened to the reports of his subordinates, discussed matters with the officials, bit by bit, laying out and accumulating power, and only then will he have tomorrow's glory.

In the Wuben building, he heard too many things and saw too many people. Subordinates, staff, and officials who came and went, all flashed in his mind like fragments.
Some aides died of illness, some officials were transferred, some went, some stayed, even the chief history of the Third Prince's Mansion changed, from Chu Bei to Xie Deng, he was constantly adjusting the power he needed.

However, during the six years in Wuben Building, there was a person who always stood by his side, accompanying him through these things and meeting these people.No matter how many subordinates, staff, and officials have been added or removed, or how many times his power has been adjusted, that person is always there.

He still remembered that that person laughed wantonly, as if holding the whole world in front of him, and said: "Your Highness, I believe that you will become the emperor of Dading! Whether it is to appoint a crown prince or ascend the throne as emperor, I I will definitely be with you..."

However, now this person is no longer around, not with him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xuanming's eyes became more lonely.Maybe everyone has had such a moment, when someone is with you, you are used to it and don't feel anything, until the person has left, you will not realize how important this person is.
Zhu Xuanming stared blankly at Wubenlou, and couldn't help but gather his cloak, feeling a little cold in his heart.

At this time, an attendant hurriedly came to the front of Wuben Building and reported to Zhu Xuanming: "Your Highness, Cheng Guogong is waiting outside the door, saying that he has something urgent to see His Highness."

After hearing what the attendant said, Zhu Xuanming couldn't help frowning, and suddenly worried.Tomorrow is the canonization ceremony, Qin Yi still has urgent matters, is there something wrong?
"Bring him to Wuben building immediately!" Zhu Xuanming ordered immediately, strode into Wuben building, and put away all kinds of worries and loneliness.
Qin Yi soon came to Wuben Building, and he was accompanied by a follower who bowed his head and couldn't see his appearance.

For some reason, at the moment when the attendant walked in, Zhu Xuanming felt a little trembling in his heart. His eyes fell on the attendant involuntarily, but he asked Qin Yi: "It's so late, what's the urgent matter for the Duke to see?" ?”

He was waiting for Qin Yi's reply, but his eyes still stayed on the entourage, and he felt that this entourage gave him a sense of familiarity, what's going on?
He thought to himself, he didn't wait for Qin Yi's reply, but saw the attendant raised his head, and then slowly looked at him.The eyes of this entourage are so familiar, the pupils of the eyes are dark, like top-grade black jade, the eyes are glistening in a moment, the deep affection in the eyes is completely exposed, and it seems to overflow.
Zhu Xuanming's mind was shocked, he stood up abruptly, and said tremblingly: "You...you..."

The attendant raised the corners of his mouth, and then smiled: "Your Highness, I'm back, and I'm here to give you a congratulatory gift. Congratulations, Your Highness on becoming the crown prince..."

……

……

When Qin Yi left, he still brought a follower with him, but it was not the original one, but the follower of the Third Prince's Mansion.The guards of the Third Prince's Mansion did not notice the difference.

But Qin Yi went to the Third Prince's Mansion at this time, but it attracted the attention of interested people.It's so late, what is Qin Yi going to the Third Prince's Mansion for?
"Master, Qin Yi came out after less than a moment. The subordinates didn't find out what happened to him." Ru Nian said.

The Third Prince's Mansion has always had the secret sentry of the Shen family, so this matter was sent out like this.Now that the officials of the Third Prince's Mansion, big and small, have left, Qin Yi came instead, which is really unusual.

Shen Du had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked: "What's happened in Cheng Guogong's mansion these two days?"

"There is no movement, but the atmosphere seems to be a lot more tense." Sui Sui replied immediately.He is in charge of the affairs of Duke Cheng's mansion, and the people under him also regularly report the relevant situation.

The people below didn't say anything about the atmosphere in Cheng Guogong's mansion. This was judged by the fact that Cheng Guogong's mansion added guards and the concierge didn't answer posts.

Shen Du frowned slightly after hearing this.The atmosphere is tense, what is it for?His Highness the Third Highness is about to be registered, so the Duke of Cheng is waiting in full force?
"Continue to investigate, find out why Qin Yi went to the Third Prince's Mansion, and find out the source of tension!" Shen Du ordered.

He couldn't ignore the intuition in his heart, he always felt that something had happened, otherwise Qin Yi would not have gone to the Third Prince's Mansion, and the atmosphere in Duke Cheng's Mansion would not have been tense.

What is it?What is wrong?There is too little information now, Shen Du can't figure it out, so he has to order Ru Nian and others to continue to investigate.
