The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 976 I don't want to die with you! (2)
Before he could speak, thinking about Chu Xunyang's aura today, he immediately regretted his words.

And sure enough, at the next moment Chu Xunyang's face turned cold, and he said sarcastically: "What do you mean by the words of the great scholar? My second brother is the heir of a country. Where is he going, what is he going to do, and when is it his turn?" I went to tell you whereabouts, big and small? Could it be that you are relying on your old qualifications in the court to deceive my brother's youth?"

With such a big hat on, how can Master Yao stand it?Immediately, the cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly knelt down tremblingly, and said: "I dare not, it's because I made a slip of the tongue, and I have no intention of presumptuousness, it's just—it's just that it happened suddenly, and I was worried about the safety of His Royal Highness." Second, secondly——secondly, His Highness left Beijing so suddenly, and never gave any instructions to the officials in advance, so I don’t know—I don’t know—”

Neither the emperor nor the crown prince was in the capital, and apart from Chu Qifeng, there was no other prince in the court who could act on his behalf. Speaking of which, it was hard for everyone to believe that Chu Qifeng would leave Beijing rashly like this.

"That's right, princess! Master Yao didn't mean anything malicious, it's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is leaving Beijing right now, and there is no one to take care of the government. I'm afraid that the people's hearts will be uneasy and the government will be unstable." Some people weighed the pros and cons, and began to echo with long sighs.

Is it an excuse to seize power?Or is he taking advantage of the fire to surrender to Chu Qiyan?

Chu Xunyang sneered in his heart, and when he spoke again, his tone became more and more mean: "How far is this place from the northern border? My brother is worried about the safety of the father, and back and forth - no matter how late it is, more than a month will be enough The six ministries each perform their duties, and deal with the papers from the localities according to the procedures. Those that need to be approved by the elder brother are sent up, and the processing is postponed. Now that there is no famine or war in the whole country, what is the important thing for the papers from the localities? Is it worth buckling such a big hat like yours? If there are any troubles during this period, after the father and elder brother return to the court in the future, if any of you make mistakes, you can resign and go home to take care of your children. .”

Now that the end of the new year is approaching, there are naturally more brochures delivered to Beijing from various places than usual.

But the facts are just as Chu Xunyang said, there is neither natural disaster nor man-made disaster at present, it is just a year's political achievements reported by various local newspapers, and the delay of ten days and a half months will not have any impact at all.

She kept putting pressure on her like this, even if the courtiers tried to suppress her while Chu Qifeng was not there, she forced everyone to feel insecure, instead they dared not say more, saying "dare not".

Chu Xunyang didn't spend much time talking with them anymore, he just looked at Chu Qiyan who was sitting on the horseback and said, "What else do you have to say?"

"Let Xunyang tell you everything, what else can I do?" Chu Qiyan said, casually flicking the horsewhip in her hand, closing her eyes suddenly, looking up to the sky and exhaling slowly, then her eyes darkened, and she looked slightly Leaning forward, he asked rhetorically, "You said that Qifeng left Beijing secretly, and went to visit His Majesty in northern Xinjiang?"

Chu Xunyang said nothing, just looked at him coldly.

Chu Qiyan did not feel embarrassed by such a cold reception, and further said: "The whole story of His Majesty's assassination is still an unsolved mystery. Doesn't it feel inappropriate for Qifeng to leave Beijing at this time? Let alone the government and the government, as long as it is now." There are rumors that the assassination of His Majesty has something to do with him, and he went to northern Xinjiang in such a hurry, who can guarantee that he is going to save people instead of killing people?"

No one thought that he would bring up this matter again, and he did not hide it like this.

The scene in front of me seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

All the courtiers present were silent, sweating in secret, closely watching every move between the two.

Chu Xunyang's face darkened, his eyes glistened with obvious anger, and he said coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

"His majesty is surrounded by his cronies. How could it be so easy to fall into the hands of others? It is likely to be related to the people around him, right? And who does not know, your majesty's The methods have always been strict, and who can bribe the people around him to plot evil?" Chu Qiyan's reaction was extremely calm, and she continued in an orderly manner: "You said that rumors stop with wise men, but there is another saying that'There is no wind without waves. ', is this matter really groundless? Once something happens to His Majesty, who will benefit the most? This point, you, me, and all the adults present are all clear. Before everything is clear, Chu Qifeng But he went to the northern border secretly without saying a word, if things are true as you said, it’s fine, otherwise—"

As Chu Qiyan spoke, her gaze became more and more serious, and she paused word by word: "If Your Majesty makes another mistake, who will bear this responsibility?"

"Do you doubt my brother?" Chu Xunyang asked, sneering like a joke, "If you want to say this, I would say that you, Chu Qiyan, conspired to murder my father, and you came here again because of your wolf ambition. Put blame on my brother."

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words!" Chu Qiyan said nothing, but the attendants around him couldn't help but speak.

Now that their identities are different, it is no longer the time for Chu Qiyan and Chu Qifeng to compete for favor in front of Guangdi Chu Pei. Chu Qifeng is a true prince of a country, and it is too serious for Chu Xunyang to spread the word.

"Could it be that this palace is still wrong?" Chu Xunyang gave him a sarcastic look, then looked away again, "Uncle Si Huang and others unfortunately suffered, no one knows, the emperor's relatives and nobles, Is it your Nanhe Prince's family that dominates? Bengong also said, this is so good, who on earth dared to openly attack my father and emperor, but now that I think about it—this is really killing two birds with one stone A plan. One murdered my father, and then spread rumors, pouring dirty water on my brother, if you can kill my father and at the same time drag down my brother——Son of Prince Nanhe, according to your statement , it seems that the suspicion of your Nanhe Palace is even bigger, right?"

It's not that Chu Qiyan and his son had no reason to do this, but no one took the lead to mention it, so the courtiers all pretended to be confused.

And one thing is clear -

They came to the East Palace today to make troubles, all on their own initiative, not for Chu Qiyan.

It can also be regarded as a wise way to protect oneself.

I didn't want Chu Qiyan and Chu Xunyang to expose each other's scars at this time, and they actually brought these rebellious words to the table.

The people present were afraid that it would harm Chi Yu, so they really regretted rushing to the East Palace to make trouble today.

But Chu Qiyan was the only one who was unfazed by favor and disgrace, and calmly raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's not impossible for you to be so skeptical, but if you can produce evidence today, what's the point of convicting and beheading all of my Nanhe Palace immediately?" No? Anyway, our father and son have a clear conscience, and everyone is here, waiting for the truth to be revealed. On the contrary, it is Qi Feng—you said he went to visit His Majesty? Since it is filial piety, then he went, why? Going to sneak away again? If there are people who suspect it, it is also caused by his own actions. I said that he went to the northern border with evil intentions. This is still a conservative estimate. He absconded in fear of crime because he did something wrong!"
