When the results of the search were reported to the emperor, there was silence.The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, squinting and looking ahead, but his eyes didn't fall on the real place.

The amount of information in this news is indeed a bit large, Wu Chuang poisoned Xu Ming, this is indeed something he did, the emperor did not doubt it.However, the poisoning was done through the hands of the nobles in the palace, and the face of the emperor was a bit embarrassing.

Wu Chuang must be severely punished, but if this matter is announced, it will definitely become a palace scandal and stain his life as a king.In addition, those literati who are in a hurry will attack him for harming the country and harming Zhongliang because of Buddhism.

If you want to punish Wu Chuang, you have to find another reason.

Holding the protruding dragon head on the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, the bones at the ends of the emperor's fingers were raised. Although no emotion can be seen on his face, in those narrowed eyes, there is a dark tide surging violently, as if Qiantang River water at high tide.

In the spacious king's bedroom, the bright yellow curtains swayed left and right with the breeze coming in from the unclosed windows, making the whistling wind, and there was no other sound.

In order to ensure that his mother and concubine would not be implicated by this matter, the fourth prince specially found an excuse to come to the emperor at this time. Seeing that the room was too quiet at this moment, he was very anxious.

"I know that my mother and concubine can't do this, and my mother and concubine are honorable, so why would I dirty my hands because of a filthy monk?" The fourth prince has always been flamboyant, and at this moment he just thinks that he is in the bedroom, and he doesn't need to pay too much attention to the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers. While speaking, he raised his chin unconsciously.

The emperor was very angry, when he heard the fourth prince's words, his gaze was like a knife blade, and his words were cold: "I already know about this matter, you go down first, I am also a little tired."

The emperor's gaze was like a powerful medicine, and the fourth prince knew instantly that he had accidentally said something wrong, but the emperor had already turned into the inner room at this moment, and there was no way to admit his mistake, so he had to retreat temporarily in fear.

It's just that the fourth prince Ning Lang didn't take this gaffe seriously, even though he was frightened. No matter how he was a prince, he was a blood relative, so his father would not do anything to him.

However, the fourth prince Ning Lang forgot that he was indeed a prince, but he was only a prince.

Another half a month later, Wu Chuang, who had lived in Jinling for more than ten years, was suddenly sent to the southern border to lead the army to suppress the Southern Chu that was about to move.Although Wu Chuang didn't understand what the emperor meant by this move, but he had always been aggressive and successful, and he had been too busy in Jinling for more than ten years, so he readily agreed.

Along with it, there was another decree - the fourth prince, Ning Lang, was loyal and upright, he was enshrined as King Jing, and he was stationed in the fief within ten days.

When the decree first arrived at the fourth prince's mansion, the fourth prince refused to accept the decree, only saying that the father made a typo, and there was absolutely no reason to release him.It wasn't until the eunuch who delivered the decree mentioned the slip of the tongue that day that he accepted the decree as if he had lost his soul, forgot to thank him, and wandered back to his room.

Wu Chuang's team going to the southern border and the fourth prince's going to the fief happened to be on the same day, one was beaming with joy, the other was downcast, and the contrast was stark.

When the two teams met, Wu Chuang turned towards the original fourth prince, and the current King Jing sneered, pretending to say: "King Jing was the first to be crowned king among his brothers, and he got a good place, unlike a minister who has to work hard in the army. The minister is really envious."

The team of carriages and horses swayed forward, and the bells on the horses' necks were crisp, urging them to go far.The fourth prince's eyes were very empty, these few days nestled in the mansion, he already wanted to understand that if he had no chance, the hope of the little half of his life would be gone from now on, and he would just be an idle prince for the rest of his life.

The fourth prince turned his head to look at Wu Chuang, but his eyes did not fall to the real point. He said in a tone of indifference that he had never seen in more than 20 years, "Master Hou should take care of himself first."

After speaking, he whipped his horsewhip and walked away without further words.Leaving Wu Chuang on the spot, he frowned in confusion, and then smiled dismissively.

-----------------------

But one year, the southern border was humid, and the old leg disease of Pingdong Marquis Wu Chuang relapsed, and the news of his death on the battlefield spread to Jinling City. The emperor was so sad that he ordered Marquis Wu to be buried on the battlefield where he fought for the first time. , there is no need to bring the bones back to Jinling.

This incident caused everyone to lament that such a great general just disappeared.But dying on the battlefield is still a worthy death.

However, there are also some discerning people, who have seen some clues in the attitude of the empress, knowing that there is another article in this matter, so they obediently keep their mouths shut.

When the news reached the second prince's mansion in the east of the city, Ning Zhi just nodded to show that he knew it, and Zhao Bai, who was writing with a pen on one side, was also calm and unaware.After all, from their point of view, Wu Chuang had already been removed from the plan when the order to send him to the south came down.

It is another spring at this time, the oblique willows outside the window reveal their green buds, the streams brought in by manpower are gurgling, and the flowers and plants of various colors show a little bit of colorful color. It is the time when the colors swallowed by the snow in winter return to the world.

The willow twigs gently patted the window lattice, sending a little breeze along the cracks of the window. Zhao Bai stood beside the window with a pen, carefully copying the works of famous masters.

The color on Zhao Bai's face was a little paler than when he first arrived, but he was much more energetic than before.

Ning Zhi glanced at him and said, "The next step is Ning An himself."

After putting down the last stroke of ink, Zhao Bai leaned the bamboo brush on the pen holder with his backhand, and looked at Ning Zhi dissatisfiedly: "Don't you ask if Wu Chuang let down the poison that day?"

Ning Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm not good at planning, Zhuge Liang can do it afterward. Although Wu Chuang is arrogant, he is not confused, so it's not like this. This time he suffered from being dumb."

The last trick to defeat Wu Chuang this time is a common dirty trick in the harem. It is really indecent to put it on the table, but it unexpectedly works for the current emperor and Wu Chuang.The more this tactic is involved with the inner palace, the harder it is to say it, and the more dumb Wu Chuang suffers.

Today's emperor is suspicious and saves face, and Wu Chuang's nature is rough and arrogant.

After thinking about it, Ning Zhi hesitated, and asked, "How dare you be sure that monk won't run away and eat that poisonous food?"

The fine sunlight outside the window, through the windows partitioned by wooden lattices, sprinkled on Zhao Bai's pale face, and reflected the transparent spots. Zhao Bai closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth of the spring sunshine, and said slowly: "When I first saw that monk, his whole body was full of pain. It is the ashes of Wannian, but he has the intention to travel thousands of miles from the east to the north, and has endured for ten years. The hatred must be extremely deep, but Wu Chuang's life can be exchanged for death, and he will not hesitate. "

He opened his eyes and sighed softly: "Speaking of which, Wu Chuang can't blame other people for daring to use the heads of common people to make up one hundred thousand military exploits, just to make a good number. It's really abominable! Wu Chuang was able to hide this matter from Jinling City and the East. There are so many people in the environment, but it is impossible to hide the truth from the victim's orphan, he should have expected this day."

Ning Zhi didn't respond to this, as if he had seen such things too much, he asked another question: "Would it be too light for Wu Chuang to take the position of Marquis to die?"

This question is not only for Zhao Bai, but also for that monk.More than ten years ago, the whole family of the monk died as villains in Silla, which is really cheap for Wu Chuang.

"That's what the monk asked me to do." Zhao Bai hooked the corner of his mouth, "He said, born in sorrow and died in peace."

"If Wu Chuang ends up tragically and his reputation is ruined, if there is any orphan in the Wu family, he must be the same as him, with hatred and revenge. In the current state, Wu Chuang is already an extremely disgusting person in the emperor's heart. After Wu Chuang's death, the Wu family The days of life will only be miserable day by day, and if there is no support for hatred in my heart, there will be absolutely no possibility of rising in the future."

This trick is actually more ruthless and kinder than the simple evil will be rewarded.

Suddenly, Zhao Bai tilted his head and stared at Ning Zhi, and asked, "Are you afraid that I persuade others to die for my own plan?"

This question is really hypocritical, but Zhao Bai cares about the answer, so he asked.Acting like this, I don't know whether it is hypocritical or straightforward.

The bamboos in the yard are reflected on the sky-blue window screens, drawing a picture of black bamboo, and the wind in the house also carries a three-point bamboo fragrance. Ningzhi has always been aggressive, but at this moment it is mixed with the soft-tempered bamboo, The corner of the mouth is pampering.

"You won't treat me like this, even if you do, I'm willing."

Raising his eyebrows, Zhao Bai smiled, moved to sit cross-legged in front of Ning Zhi, poured himself half a cup of tea, and said leisurely: "Ning An's illness is paranoid, you said earlier that the emperor intends to marry Ning An recently, the candidate It's decided, but it's just not easy to speak?"

Ning Zhi nodded: "She is the granddaughter of Tai Shigong's family. She has a hot temper and is competitive. If I speak, Ning An will definitely be suspicious of this prince-to-be, and this prince-to-be is not gentle and submissive. If I make trouble with my father from time to time, it means that Ning An is dissatisfied with the marriage and still has affection for the sinful daughter of the Wu family, so my father will definitely be displeased."

Although Tai Shigong is called "Gong", it is not a title. It is just that this adult has been Tai Shiling for nearly 30 years.

The emperor found such a relative for Ning An, firstly because he did not want the Wu family to bond with the royal family, and secondly because Tai Shi Ling had no power.The emperor's intentions for this move were very subtle, it seemed that Ning An was inevitably implicated by Wu Chuang.

The act of intentionally bestowing a marriage reveals that the emperor has already become suspicious of Ning An. If Ning An expresses dissatisfaction after marrying the granddaughter of Tai Shi Gong, if he does not do anything to break the boat, he will basically be cut off from the throne.

only...

"It's too cheap for him." Ning Zhi frowned, somewhat unhappy in his words.

Zhao Bai smiled and shook his head, "Naturally, it's more than that for Ning An."

The act of getting married seems to be aimed at Ning An, but in fact it is aimed at the heroine Wu Qingwan.

The trivial matter of her biological father, and the red matter of bumping into her loved one, these pain points can probably repay her "kindness" to the original owner.
