After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Of course I don't only doubt the Queen." Chu Huanyan said in a deep voice, and before Xiao Emperor could speak, she added, "However, I can only doubt the Queen."

"What's the reason?" Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan.

"Because Your Highness the Crown Prince." Chu Huanyan was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I want to avenge my parents, want to seek justice for them, and want the truth to be revealed to the world. If the murderer back then was just the Queen, Xiao Jinzhi's position as prince may still be preserved, but if not..."

Chu Huanyan trembled slightly and looked up at Emperor Xiao.

"This result is too terrible. Although I have hatred and resentment in my heart, I don't want to ruin my fiancé's future."

"If everything you said is true, then the queen is already dead, why are you still investigating what happened back then?" Emperor Xiao stared at Chu Huanyan's eyes, as if he wanted to scrape her apart piece by piece to see clearly what was going on inside. intestinal.

There was a dead silence in the entire royal study, as if one could hear the heartbeat clearly.

Even Eunuch Zheng, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel excited and quietly looked at Chu Huanyan with his peripheral vision.

But the latter just remained silent. It was not until Emperor Xiao lost his patience and asked again with an increasingly cold expression that Chu Huanyan finally spoke.

"It's also for His Royal Highness."

"What do you mean?" Emperor Xiao was obviously a little dissatisfied with this answer, and said with a sullen face, "Do you think I will believe your words whenever the prince is involved?"

"Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are both sons of the Queen, it is well known in the court that the Queen prefers the Third Prince. If the events of that year are revealed, the Third Prince will obviously be more implicated. As for His Highness the Crown Prince, although it was also the Queen who made the mistake , but since he made a meritorious report and killed relatives in a righteous manner, he may not be praised by others for this incident."

Chu Huanyan pursed her lips, and the look on her face seemed to be that she was completely willing to give up, and she didn't intend to hide anything anymore.

"Your Majesty, I am bold. This time, the Emperor suddenly sent His Highness the Crown Prince to suppress the bandits. I think it was because of Chunwei. Whether the Emperor wants to favor the third prince or balance the power, the Emperor can ignore His Highness the Crown Prince, but I cannot. After all, the only person I can rely on now is His Highness the Crown Prince."

There is no way to cover up Jiang Zhou's matter. If he bites the bullet and refuses to admit it, I am afraid that not only will it not dispel Xiao Emperor's suspicion, but it will make him even more jealous and make him take action immediately. It is better to simply admit it.

However, Xiao Jinzhi's identity cannot be revealed under any circumstances. If Emperor Xiao knew that they had learned about this matter, I am afraid that he would not be able to leave the imperial study alive today.

So it is better to lead the whole matter to the fight for the crown prince's position. Even if the method makes Emperor Xiao completely believe it, it should be able to stabilize him for the time being.

As Chu Huanyan finished speaking, the imperial study became quiet again.

Emperor Xiao's eyes fell directly on Chu Huanyan's face. Although there was still suspicion and suspicion, he was still slightly relieved because of what she just said.

If what Chu Huanyan said was true, then they were indeed not investigating the incident because of him. However, no matter what the reason was, he would never allow the incident to be revived.

"Chu Huanyan, this matter is related to the royal family's reputation. If you really want to think about the prince, you'd better be careful in your words and deeds and don't get involved in the slightest, otherwise..." Xiao Emperor didn't finish what he said, but there was something in it. The threat is obvious.

Chu Huanyan trembled slightly, showing a bit of nervousness, "I dare you, my lord, to ask your Majesty, what do you think of His Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince..."

"Shut up!" Emperor Xiao interrupted Chu Huanyan and reprimanded him coldly, "This is not a matter that you, a boudoir woman, can arbitrarily interfere with. I can forgive you a little this time, but if it happens again, I will definitely Severe punishment will not be spared, including the cancellation of the marriage contract between you and the prince, nothing more."

Her expression changed, and Chu Huanyan lowered her head in panic, "Yes, I know my mistake."

Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan for a moment, and finally picked up the memorial in front of him again.

"Go back."

"Yes, I will leave." Chu Huanyan lowered her head and slowly exited the imperial study.

Soon, the little eunuch guarding outside led her away the same way, towards the palace gate.

In the imperial study room, Eunuch Zheng looked at Emperor Xiao and asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, do you think Miss Chu's words are credible?"

"Hmph." Emperor Xiao snorted coldly, "Of course she can't tell the truth, but..."

After a moment of pause, Emperor Xiao looked at the memorial in front of him, with a mocking smile on his face.

"However, as long as she still cares about Xiao Jinzhi's position as crown prince, she should know that this matter is of great importance and must not be leaked out easily. If my title to the throne is not justified, then Xiao Jinzhi wants to inherit it. It’s not that easy either.”

Fortunately, it seems that they don't know anything about Xiao Jinzhi's identity.

Since Chu Huanyan values ​​power and status, he will not act rashly. However, if they want to investigate what happened back then, they may not only want to damage Rong Xuan's reputation, but also want to hold a handle to use it. Take care of yourself to ensure that Xiao Jinzhi can successfully ascend the throne.

"Your Majesty, do you need someone to take action?" Eunuch Zheng asked carefully.

Emperor Xiao shook his head, "Send someone to monitor Chu Huanyan closely. Don't touch her for the time being, so as not to leak the news and put Xiao Jinzhi on guard."

Chu Huanyan has nothing to fear. The most troublesome thing is Xiao Jinzhi and the people who hold the handle and are hiding in the dark.

……

Palace entrance.

Seeing Chu Huanyan come out safely, Xian Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted her.

"Miss."

"No need to say more. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it after we get on the carriage." Chu Huanyan interrupted Xian Yue, lifted up her skirt and quickly got on the carriage.

"Miss, since you came out safely, are you all right?" Xian Yue asked in the carriage.

Chu Huanyan shook her head, "At most, you won't do anything to me for the time being."

According to Emperor Xiao's character, he should not take him seriously yet. For him, the most difficult person to deal with is Xiao Jinzhi.

Fortunately, he didn't know that Xiao Jinzhi's identity had been exposed. He had a preconception that even for the sake of reputation and the position of prince, he and Xiao Jinzhi would not dare to reveal the truth rashly.

Wait, first impression...

Chu Huanyan was suddenly stunned.

Yes, she was the first to think about Jiang Zhou!

The things may still be hidden in the Jiang family courtyard. In fact, it is just a speculation on her part, and there is no evidence. It was only because Jiang Zhou quietly left that night and appeared outside the Jiang Family Courtyard, and because he looked at the Jiang Family Courtyard before he died, that she firmly felt that the things should be hidden in the Jiang Family Courtyard.

However, what if she had preconceived ideas and fell into a misunderstanding?

Just because Jiang Zhou went to the Jiang Family Courtyard does not necessarily mean that the evidence must be hidden there.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion. After Chu Huanyan returned to the courtyard, she immediately ordered Xian Yue to call the secret guard who was the first to rush to the Jiang family courtyard that night.

"Tell me carefully what happened when you met Jiang Zhou that night. You must detail everything."
