Two days later and early in the morning, a command came from the palace, and Xuan Chu Shen entered the palace.

"My leg is still hurting, and my father knows about it." Chu Chen opened his arms and let Mu Mu help him tidy up his clothes, while saying: "So he insisted on letting me into the palace, it can't be because of the fourth brother The matter will be settled after the fall, right?"

The matter of stationing troops in the dark camp in the eastern suburbs came to a conclusion yesterday.

As Chu Chen expected, the secret camp quickly pointed to the fourth prince. Because he was unprepared before, the fourth prince didn't even think of an excuse for sophistry, so he simply admitted it.But after all, he had a bright mind and understood the emperor's mind very well, so he cried bitterly in front of the emperor, and only said that he was worried that the prince would target him after he ascended the throne, so he raised some private soldiers to save his life.

The root of the emperor's taboo against setting up troops was that he was afraid that private soldiers would threaten him. The fourth prince was sure of this, and simply charged himself with the "crime" of being at odds with the prince, which dispelled the emperor's taboo.Anyway, the fourth prince and the crown prince have been at loggerheads, and now it's just another layer of shame.

The Fourth Prince was finally fined and imprisoned for half a year, and the matter was settled with a lot of thunder and rain.

But today the emperor suddenly announced that Chu had sunk into the palace, but why?

"The horse His Highness the Fifth Highness rode was prepared by His Highness Second Highness, and it was His Highness who found the dark camp." Mu Mu helped Chu Chen fasten his belt, and said, "That day you were injured by Lord Lu, and you will return early the next morning. The only thing that has anything to do with you is that you invited the Fifth Highness to the eastern suburbs."

Chu Chen nodded and said: "As long as I bite to death and don't let go, the emperor can't wrong me, right?"

"If your majesty asks why you invited the fifth prince to the eastern suburbs, how would you answer?" Mu Mu looked at Chu Chen, raised his hand to help him straighten the broken hair on his forehead, and said, "The prince instructed you? Or you Deep brotherhood with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince?"

Chu Chen: ...

Neither answer seems to work...

"Your Majesty has already made a conclusion about today's matter. What you should do is not to prove your innocence..." Mu Mu leaned over and hugged Chu Chen, and said as he walked towards the door, "It's to let him believe that, What you said was not intended to prove anything."

Chu Chen was hugged by Mu Mu, and looked at him from a close distance, only to feel that Mu Mu's gaze carried a kind of sharpness and determination that only a strategist would have.He felt more and more that Mu Mu didn't look like a male favorite, but rather a counselor.

"Mu, will you lie to me?" Chu Chen asked suddenly.

"Since you believe me, why bother to ask more questions." Mu Mu leaned over and carefully put Chu Chen into the carriage, and then went in and sat beside Chu Chen.

Chu Chen took a deep breath, and said to himself, what's the use of trusting you, you've been half-hearted all day long!

Only after Chu Chen entered the palace did he realize that he was not the only one who was called.

The Second Prince, Fifth Prince, and even Lu Xiaohou Ye were called together today.

Chu Chen: ...

Is this going to be confronted?

"Tell me." The emperor sat behind the case, writing something with a pen in his hand, without looking at Chu Chen and the others.

The four stood in the hall and looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"What does the emperor want his sons to say?" the fifth prince asked stupidly.

The emperor raised his eyes to look at the fifth prince, and said, "Tell me about each of you, why you suddenly thought of going to the eastern suburbs, and why someone disappeared suddenly, so you just happened to find the fourth brother's dark camp."

Chu Chen: ...

It's okay to be direct, so you don't have to go around in circles.

"My son heard that the frontline war was stalemate, so he thought of calling all the sons of nobles in the capital to hold a horse race, firstly to boost the morale of the sons, and secondly to cheer up everyone." The prince said.

"Heh." The emperor sneered, obviously dissatisfied with the second prince's answer.

"What about you?" the emperor raised his eyes to the fifth prince and asked.

The fifth prince falteringly glanced at the emperor, then at Chu Chen, hesitated for a moment and said, "My son... I know there is excitement in the eastern suburbs, so I want to go and see..." Chu Chen was quite surprised when he heard this, Unexpectedly, the fifth prince did not sell him immediately.

"Oh?" The emperor asked meaningfully, "Is that so?"

The Fifth Prince secretly glanced at Chu Chen, and before he could speak again, Chu Chen answered first: "Fifth Brother doesn't need to hide, didn't I take Fifth Brother to this trip to the eastern suburbs?"

Hearing this, the emperor looked up at Chu Chen, a little surprised by his words.

"Up to now, I have nothing to hide." Chu Chen said: "Before the Shangyuan Festival, the matter of my minister falling into the water while playing with the little boy on a boat was known to everyone in the capital, and I have always been concerned about this incident Yu Huai. On February [-]nd, Erchen went to the lakeside and met Fifth Brother’s cousin named Yang Qin, only to find out that this matter was planned by Fifth Brother, in order to discredit Erchen.”

Mu Mu said that Chu Chen didn't need to prove anything.

So instead of taking himself out, he jumped in clearly...

The fifth prince wanted to explain when he heard the words, but Chu Chen didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued to say: "My son is small-minded, and I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. That day when I heard that my second brother was going to hold a horse race, I thought I must do it." Take Fifth Brother to go together, when the time comes, all the honorable sons of the Manchu Dynasty will be present, and my son just needs to let Fifth Brother make a fool of himself at the horse race, and let him also taste the taste of discredit."

When Chu Chen said this, "sincerely", the fifth prince was surprised and asked in disbelief: "Sixth brother, you pretended to invite me to the eastern suburbs, and you actually want to take revenge on me?"

"Unfortunately, Lord Lu didn't know what enmity he had with me, so the Jockey Club knocked me off the horse with a stick the first day." Chu Chen said and gave Lu Jing a look.Lu Jing raised her eyebrows helplessly, and thought to herself that the Sixth Highness was really a big deal, and with a few words, she was completely wiped out, and she even pointed the finger at herself.

"Your Majesty was reckless and accidentally injured His Highness the Sixth Highness, but I still hope His Highness will forgive you." Lu Jing hurriedly cupped her hands.

The emperor set his eyes on Chu Chen's legs. When Chu Chen entered the hall just now, he came in with a cane, so he saw it all.But before that, he had some doubts about Chu Chen's injury. Today, since Chu Chen took the initiative to mention it, he didn't care about finding someone to verify it on the spot.

"Send the imperial physician to take a look at His Highness Six's leg injury." The emperor said.

Hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, the emperor, an old fox, still suspects that he and Lu Jing are in collusion?

After a while, the imperial doctor came. After examining Chu Chen's leg injury, he confirmed that the injury was indeed caused two or three days ago, and that he could not move freely for nearly half a month.After dismissing the imperial physician, the emperor looked at Chu Chen less coldly.

"My good sons, none of them know what brotherhood is." The emperor sighed, his expression quite sad.

The emperor knew exactly who was behind the scenes in this matter.I called these people over today, but I just wanted to use the topic to play and beat them.Unexpectedly, the topic was so biased by Chu Chen, the emperor had no intention of continuing to pursue it, and only felt a little sore in his heart.

These few sons of his can be regarded as the most vivid interpretation of the royal family's indifference.

Between each other, there are only calculations and disputes, and each of them fights to the point of bloodshed.

"It's all gone, I'm tired." The emperor sighed.

After hearing the words, everyone knew that this test was passed, so they hurriedly saluted and left.

Chu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. When he turned around, he forgot that his leg was still injured. This step made him stagger and almost fell out. Fortunately, Lu Jing quickly supported him.

Looking at Chu Chen's appearance, the emperor calmed down and said, "Lao Liu, let's rest for a while and talk to me."

When Chu Chen heard this, his heart tightened, and he saw Lu Jing raised an eyebrow at him, and walked away gloating.

There were only father and son left in the hall, and Chu Chen walked closer to the emperor leaning on his crutches.

The emperor looked up at him, and saw that there was a bit of guilt in his brows, like a child who was afraid of being punished after making a mistake.The emperor's heart softened, he stepped forward to support Chu Chen, and said, "You are narrow-minded, unlike your mother, she has always been magnanimous."

"Mother and concubine are generous, so I have been bullied by the imperial concubine, and I don't want to be bullied by the fifth brother." When Chu Chen said this, he deliberately slowed down his voice, and there was a bit of grievance in his red eyes .

Seeing this, the emperor thought of Concubine Rong who had been begging for perfection all these years, and felt a little guilty in his heart.He looked at Chu Chen, and said, "The queen gave me a list a few days ago. She selected a few unmarried people who were about your age from among the honorable children of the court. I will call you whenever I get a chance. Go into the palace and take a look, pick someone who matches you in appearance and character, and help you get married as soon as possible."

"Ah?" Chu Chen was startled, and said, "So fast?"

"It was I who neglected you in the past, which caused you and your mother to suffer a lot of grievances." The emperor said: "In the future, when you become a family and have someone to support you, you will suffer less grievances. I don't care. I hope that you, like the prince, will make some achievements in political affairs, and I only hope that you will have a stable and stable family, and let the princess give you a few more children in the future."

Chu Chen: ...

What's wrong with the emperor, why is he so interested in his marriage all of a sudden?

Could it be that something happened to Princess Ning'an who was presented to Yao by Cangsui before?

Otherwise, the emperor is so good, what kind of father-son love scene is he suddenly singing to him?

"How is the male pet in your house serving you?" the emperor asked suddenly.

"Uh..." Chu Chen smiled embarrassedly, and said, "He's very nice, and he takes care of you well."

The emperor nodded. The eyeliner of the palace had reported to him before, saying that the male favorite followed Chu Chen to serve him day and night, and he was quite dedicated.The proton of the Yao Kingdom has always been aloof, so being so obedient this time is beyond the emperor's expectation.

In addition, he just received the military report yesterday, it seems that there is something wrong with the alliance between Yao and Cangsui, maybe the war will turn around.The embarrassment of the emperor before has almost worn away now, and the matter of humiliating Yao's proton should have come to an end by now, and people can't always live in Chuchen's mansion.

If the matter gets out, it will make people think that he, the king of a country, acts too petty.

With this in mind, the emperor secretly made a decision that once Chu Chen's marriage was settled, he would have someone take Yao's hostage away.
