If you don't go to the house, you are not a gentleman

The third prince's departure from the capital was a secret matter, except for a few cronies, few people knew about it, so the one who stayed in the third prince's womb was just a puppet borrowed from Mo Xianwang.

The carriage drove directly from Zuo Xiang's mansion to the third prince's mansion.

Although it has been away for many years, the capital city is still as prosperous as before. It was just when the lights first came on, and the capital city illuminated by thousands of lights was as bright as day.

The third prince got out of the carriage and looked at the high-hanging plaque, and was a little lost. He stood still in a daze, until the man in black walked up to him and called out softly before he realized it, and slowly raised his foot to step in.

The servants had already received the news and were waiting respectfully at the door holding candles. A tall maid stood at the front with a calm expression and elegant demeanor, without any servility.

The third prince glanced at the tall maid and said, "How is the situation?"

The servant girl said lightly: "As usual, there is nothing unexpected for now."

The third prince raised his eyebrows, he noticed the word "for the time being" in her words, which echoed Mo Xinwang's "extremely careful".

It seems that the capital city is indeed in a state of being full of wind and rain.

The third prince walked in, and the maids followed with candles, but the third prince said: "Everyone else step back, Emei, come here."

Emei still responded lightly, and the other servants retreated one after another. The man in black thought that he was not included in the "others", so he followed. The third prince glanced at him and didn't say anything. The man became more at ease, but the third prince and Emei shut him out the moment they entered the study.

The man in black: "..."

Emei slowly lit the candle lamp, and took a pot of tea to brew.

The third prince sat on the chair covered with expensive fox fur cushions, with a heavy expression on his face.

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Emei gradually restrained her casual posture and asked, "Your Highness, is there something else on your mind?"

The third prince: "...what is you?"

Emei said lightly: "That's the expression you had on me the night you left the capital, and the request you made at the beginning was not to let your whereabouts be exposed. Has your Highness never thought about how troublesome this is?"

"..."

Emei accepted it as soon as she saw it, "So what's the matter, Your Highness?"

The third prince's face became more and more serious.

Emei, who was always calm, couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

The third prince said slowly: "How... can I be noticed by others?"

……

silence.

A silence.

In the dead silence, only the sound of making tea can be heard.

After being stiff for a while, Emei finally recovered her voice, "Who would His Highness want to pay attention to you?"

The third prince coughed and said, "Just such a special person."

Emei understood immediately, and she mumbled: "Your Highness may have asked the wrong person."

The third prince said: "There were so many suitors back then, but none of them could win your favor? How did they do it?"

Emei was completely silent.

She looked down at the tea pot in her hand, feeling a little sad.

Back then, she was so proud of her spring breeze, with her beautiful face and colorful clothes, her silver hair and silver grate, so many amorous young men spent a lot of money to smile for her, and bought a song with countless red silks, but——

"So what's the point of gaining favor once? In the end, it's just a play on the occasion, a passer-by in life."

Only when you are in trouble can you know people's hearts, and only when you are in trouble can you see the true feelings. In the end, it is just that you spend a lot of money, I will play a song, you come to find fun, and I will act.

The third prince suddenly said: "I am not joking."

Emei was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since it's not a joke, why bother that person doesn't know? The fate is always there, and if there is a fate, it will eventually become a positive result. If there is no fate, it is only a sigh."

The third prince pondered, and there was a faint noise for a while, the third prince's expression changed, and he got up suddenly.

The sound of swords and swords became louder and louder, Emei frowned, hurried to open the door, and asked the man in black outside the door: "What happened?"

The man in black held the scabbard at his waist and said, "It seems to be someone from the imperial court!"

The third prince paused at the door, and just about to turn around, he heard a series of footsteps behind him, followed by the sound of sharp swords colliding.

A man in official uniform walked over slowly, "Why does this guy have to fight so hard?"

The man in black said coldly: "Why did you break into the prince's mansion privately?"

The man said calmly, "We came here on orders."

Emei said, "What are you here for?"

The man smiled coldly and said: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince seems to intend to murder the Emperor, and poisoned the Crown Prince!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.

The man in black roared, "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since it's nonsense, it's okay to let us search over there, right? The so-called body is not afraid of shadows."

The man in black snorted coldly, "Just check."

The man glanced at everyone present, stared at the Third Prince and said, "Could it be that His Highness the Third Prince is you?"

The third prince is not favored, just like his mother and concubine, it seems that he has been thrown into the cold palace of the cold palace, few people have seen him.

The third prince nodded naturally.

Halfway through nodding, he regretted it.

If he admitted it, wouldn't the puppet he arranged conflict with him?

The third prince suddenly shook his head again, and he whispered to Emei: "Where is the fake prince?"

Emei said: "It should be reading in the bedroom at this time."

Seeing the Third Prince nodding and shaking his head, the man couldn't help being speechless, "...is it right?"

The third prince said: "No."

The man saw that he was dressed luxuriously, and the sable fur set him off even more extravagantly, he said speechlessly, "Then who are you? Why are you dressed so luxuriously?"

The third prince said without changing his face: "It's just a servant with a relatively high status."

That person: "..." All the servants in the third prince's mansion dress better than him? !

At this time, a group of people came over in mighty force, and came to escort a handsome young man.

The man raised his eyebrows, "This is probably His Highness the Third Prince, right?"

The young man remained silent with a cold face.

A group of people behind him came and threw out a bunch of things, a pack of medicine powder, four or five letters and a string of bracelets.

The third prince had a bad feeling when he saw the package of medicinal powder.

Sure enough, a person said: "My lord, this packet of medicinal powder contains poison, which is the same as the poison that His Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned by!"

Cold sweat broke out on the third prince's forehead, and his eyes became colder and colder.

The fake prince said: "This is not my prince's stuff."

The man retorted: "Since it's not His Royal Highness's, why did it find out in His Highness's room?"

As he said that, the man picked up the bracelet and the letter again, "And why is there the bracelet that the prince lost earlier? Why is there His Highness's own handwriting? It contains the process of assassinating the emperor!"

The fake prince's face turned pale, and the third prince was also terrified when he heard it. He had already guessed seven or eight points.

This situation is clear at a glance, where the bracelet did not come from, the poisonous powder is naturally not his, and the letter is naturally not written by him, and these things that should not appear in his house are obviously plotted by someone. Let him take the blame and kill him!

And it happened that on the night of his return, they came to search with his back foot as soon as he stepped in.

Either it is a coincidence, then he can rest assured for the time being.

It's just that if it's done on purpose, then it can be seen that the instigator behind him has completely grasped his identity and movements!This is tantamount to checking him to death!

If he doesn't have a strategy to deal with it, then his game of chess may not only be completely defeated, but may even lead to death!

Thinking of this, the Third Prince's back was drenched in cold sweat, and the smell of tea wafted from the study behind him, but the situation in front of him was not a good time to taste tea at all.

At this moment, a figure came running from a distance, and a small official hurried over with a scroll in his hand.

The little official said out of breath: "The portrait of the third prince is here."

The third prince was startled, his palms felt cold, and the fake prince's shocked and flustered expression was gradually revealed. The leading man opened the portrait, and what caught his eye was the face that claimed to be "a servant with a relatively high status". , Nobility, not this handsome young man.

The officials were stunned for a moment, and the leading official sneered, "It's better to get the stolen goods at the same time. It's better now, and the crime is added to the crime! Take them all back!"

The third prince calmly looked at the officials rushing towards him, and what flashed in front of his eyes was actually An Le's bright and bright smile.

It seemed that no matter which game of chess it was, he would end up in complete defeat.
