Is the prince jealous today?

"Master, do you suspect that the third prince is collaborating with the enemy?" Ye Yi leaned forward in surprise and lowered his voice.

"Not only do I suspect that he is collaborating with the enemy, I even suspect that he is inseparable from King Qi's death." Liu Yi's voice was very low, and her hand to grab the melon seeds did not come down for a long time.

Ye Yi was thoughtful: "Speaking of King Qi, the master ordered to investigate earlier, and my subordinates have heard some things recently. I don't know if it has something to do with the old things of King Qi?"

Liu Yi immediately sat up straight.

"It's not a big deal." Ye Yi scratched his head, "It's just that the emperor recently took out King Qi's armor to wipe it, and it just so happened that your lord was called into the palace, and he saw dark brown marks on the inside of the armor."

Liu Yi knew what the dark brown marks meant, but why was there old blood stains inside the armor?Liu Yi put down the melon seeds, clapped his hands, and made two gestures under his armpit: "Is the trace near here?" King Qi's armor was invulnerable, and the inside was stained with blood. went in.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yi shook his head, gestured twice for the position of his heart, and roughly drew a range: "This subordinate overheard the description of the adults, it seems to be here."

Looking at the large area that passed by in the night, Liu Yi was slightly taken aback, her brows furrowed.

How can it be?The blood-stained part of the armor is actually the heart?However, according to previous news, no one mentioned that King Qi was injured on his chest when he lured the enemy away.

If the blood is not from King Qi, is it from the prince?After all, the only ones wearing this armor are King Qi and the Prince.

The heart was severely wounded, and there were large bloodstains. It was by no means a minor injury. If the prince had really suffered such an injury, news would surely spread, but the fact that the prince was not injured at all meant that the blood definitely did not belong to the prince.

According to the prince's heart, Baojia will never leave his body when he runs for his life, but this blood stain was not left by the prince and King Qi?

Liu Yi silently grabbed the melon seeds, licked them for a while, pursed her lips, thought of several possibilities, and finally shook her head.

Maybe the blood stains were there earlier, not from the last battle. If this is the case, it makes sense, so I have to ask Qi Jian later to see if he has any impression of the blood stains in the armor.

Thinking of provoking King Qi in front of the little Tyrannosaurus Rex, Liu Yi pulled the melon seed shell a few times irritably, her arms were too wide, and she accidentally knocked over the melon seed jar.

"Master?" Ye Yi looked at him inexplicably, and asked tentatively, "Master is worried? Can this subordinate help?"

Liu Yi patted him on the shoulder and shook his head: "By the way, I asked you to pay attention to the direction of the military and private affairs before. What news did you hear?"

Speaking of this, Ye Yi was also deeply surprised.

In the previous victory in Longnan, a batch of military privates were seized, and because of the strange shape of the weapons, they were transported back to the court.And the person responsible for finding the source of the military secrets secretly is the adult in the house. It stands to reason that the source should be easy to find if the things are there, but the strange thing is that the source of this thing really cannot be found.

It is not even known whether Qiang Di was bought or robbed.For this matter, my lord was reprimanded by the emperor several times, but no matter how much he led his men to investigate, they found nothing.

"You mean, that batch of things have strange shapes, and the materials used are not good?" Liu Yi really didn't know about this situation before.The weapons sold were leftovers?And the shape is more commonly used, more awkward?

From this point of view, the person who sold the weapon did not want Qiangdi to win, and this person had a channel to communicate with the enemy and knew how to sell the weapon.

So, is it possible that this person is really the same person who framed the Liu family's collaborators?Could Hua Qiong be the mastermind behind the scenes?Was it also him who died of King Qi?

While picking up melon seeds, Liu Yi thought about it, and after picking all the melon seeds back on the table, he whispered: "Go back and try, can you give your lord a few words behind your back, and say bad things about the Third Prince?"

Ye Yi was stunned: "This?"

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to cheat your lord. He is a good official. I just happened to have such a guess, so I wanted to trouble him to check."

Ye Yi thought about it, agreed with this statement, but was still a little confused: "But to the west and north, can the third prince really stretch his hands so long?"

"If it's not long, you have to check to find out." Liu Yi squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes were fierce, "If it's really him, the crime of collaborating with the enemy, privately selling military supplies, and framing Zhongliang, the three crimes are punished together, and even death by a thousand swords is not counted. Pass."

The old eunuch held a stack of memorials and carefully placed them on the case table.

The emperor raised his eyelids and asked for an hour. After hearing the answer, he took a sip of his tea and put down his cup: "Who are those who are coming soon?"

"It should be soon, I will invite you half an hour ago." The old eunuch took down the teacup tactfully, and stood aside with bowed head and hands, so quiet that people could not consciously ignore it.

The emperor looked at the memorial for a while, and sighed: "There are only two or three ministers of the humerus left."

The old eunuch responded in a low voice and also sighed.

The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at him: "You can be regarded as following me all the way. At that time, no matter how dangerous or difficult it was, you would survive by gritting your teeth. Calculation?" The old eunuch watched his heart carefully, so he didn't even agree with him this time.

Not long after, several ministers were introduced into the palace. After paying their respects, the emperor thought of their old age and frailty, and granted them a special seat. Talk to yourself." The emperor signaled to move over to a table, and then watched the old eunuch serve them tea.

Seeing that the tea was placed on the side table, no one dared to serve it. The emperor drooped his eyelids and took a sip of the freshly served tea: "You really are the old people around me, remember the way of the monarch and ministers, and don't take half a step. Willing to stray."

Hearing what he said, several ministers took a breath in their hearts. It seems that the emperor really didn't come to ask one of them to ask for a crime today.

"You just listen to what I'm going to say next, and you can speak freely after listening, and I won't blame you." The emperor put down his teacup, his voice was old and low.

"My sons and daughters are rare, and the only ones available are Hua Cong and Hua Qiong. Among them, Hua Qiong is older and born of the empress. He was established as the crown prince a few years ago."

After saying this, the emperor paused for a long time, staring at the three ministers below with cloudy eyes.

"But what happened to King Qi back then has little to do with him." Looking away from the ministers, the emperor looked out of the window instead.

King Qi has a temperament, and he knows it himself. If he is said to be greedy for merit, there is no one who does not venture into greed for merit in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.Moreover, he has been stationed in the north for so many years, and has fought countless battles, large and small, why is it only this one, when the prince left, he took the risk of greedy for meritorious service and lost his troops, almost annihilating the entire army?

How could the emperor not understand the reason for this?Just because I understand, how many times I saw the prince, I almost couldn't suppress my anger?

However, people cannot be resurrected after death, even if things are straightened out, what's the use of punishing the prince severely?It just shamed the royal family again and added some laughing stock to others.

In order to protect his son, King Qi did not hesitate to die. Thinking about it, for the sake of himself and the glory of the royal family, he knew well and would not care about his reputation.

During those years of ups and downs, when did he really care about fame and glory?The emperor lowered his eyes, under the gloomy gaze, there was a hint of sadness.

However, the grief was fleeting, he immediately raised his eyes, and continued: "Hua Cong has had the problem of great joy for a long time. Fortunately, after the matter of King Qi, he has restrained a lot, and his temper seems to have calmed down a bit, but I never It is expected that while his mind is calm, his heart will also grow up."

Several ministers did not dare to breathe, staring at their toes and waiting for the next sentence.

The emperor changed the subject: "Hua Cong is like this, Hua Qiong may not be any better. These days, when I review the papers, I saw a strange thing, saying that the batch of weapons handed over by Longnan earlier seems to be similar to Hua Qiong. There is also some connection."

After talking about the prince, you actually mentioned the third prince?Several people didn't know what the emperor was going to say, and no one dared to answer the words without authorization.

"Not only the two of them, but also Qi Jian, don't let me worry about it." The emperor sighed, his brows furrowed slowly.

Why is Qi Prince's son involved?The three people present all followed the emperor and King Qi and had bloodshed, so they naturally saw King Qi's ability and character in their eyes.

If it weren't for the relationship between the emperor and King Qi, two of them would have almost sworn brothers of the opposite sex with King Qi. King Qi is a noble character, and his son would not be bad, why would the emperor suddenly say that?

The emperor frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Qi Jian is the same, don't let me worry, look, what does he do all day long?"

With a snap, the emperor pulled out the secret booklet and slapped it on the table.

The old eunuch hurried forward, took up the booklet and handed it to the head minister. After reading it, the man frowned and handed the book down. After the three of them had finished reading the booklet, their faces coincided with each other, showing a look of surprise.

"You can't think of it? I can't think of it either." The emperor took the memorial back from the old eunuch and read it again, "Who would have imagined that with King Qi's character, his son would be so nonsense?"

The three lowered their heads in embarrassment, wiping cold sweat from time to time.

"Look, is this something that the nobleman of the family can say?" Throwing the secret booklet heavily back on the table, the emperor gasped for a long time, his throat whistling.

How could the son of the elegant and unparalleled King Qi be like this?Thinking of the situation of the Qi mansion reported by the spies, the emperor caught his breath in his throat and gasped and coughed for a while.

My two sons were fighting endlessly for the throne, and the court was in turmoil. At this time, the son of King Qi ignored government affairs and military affairs, and didn't think about how to serve the court or share his worries, but he kept working hard on the bed ?

He even said that he missed the morning court several times due to illness, because he was nostalgic for the warmth of the mattress, and the gentle village did not want to get up?

Also, before, the queen gave her a concubine many times, but Qi Jian found various reasons to refuse her. Later, he simply knelt in front of the imperial court, saying that he and Liu Yi were a couple for life, and insisted on giving him a concubine , is to force them both to die for love.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and swept the teacup down.
