After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Ah Ying was able to do things well, and soon found a clue, and Qin Xuechuan proved that this matter was indeed inseparable from Chang Jianzhi.

He privately sent someone to investigate, and found that Chang Jianzhi did have a younger sister, who was very sensible and stable at a young age, thinking of their Chang family in everything.Moreover, his younger sister was not much older than Qin Yuan, and was rumored to be very intelligent.

Chang Jianzhi's younger sister is called Chang Biyun, and Chang Biyun is still holding it in the hand of the mastermind behind the scenes.The Chang family also has a little real power at the border.

General Chang has been on the battlefield for years, and there are many soldiers in the barracks who are his confidantes.As long as the Chang family still has a bit of military power, it is still worth using. If the mastermind behind the scenes can use Chang Biyun to blackmail Chang Jianzhi, then he will definitely use Chang Biyun's life to blackmail Old General Chang to do things for him.

Qin Xuechuan thought that those assassins sent clearly wanted to put himself to death, and what those assassins said to him...

If he is really dead, then who is the one who has benefited the most in Fengdu?

Qin Luochuan?

Qin Xuechuan knew in his heart that the emperor had trained Qin Luochuan as the crown prince from the very beginning, no matter whether it was Wenzhi books or learning martial arts riding and archery, he was the best among the princes.And the emperor loved him very much.

If he died, then the crown prince must belong to Qin Luochuan.

Could it be that the emperor wanted to kill him?

Qin Xuechuan once had such a second thought, but then he found that his thought was wrong.If the emperor wanted to kill him, how could he survive?

Could it be the land of the king in the whole world, he is in it, the imperial power is so huge, although he has already been ranked as the prince, but in front of the imperial power, he is just like an ant.If the emperor wants to kill him, he must die.

And Qin Yuan still wants to spare his life to defend Qin Luochuan.

At this time, Qin Xuechuan thought of the two people who had attacked Qin Xuechuan in the novel before, and one of them was Xiangsheng.

Xiangsheng was arranged by King Xianglu of Nanling to enter the imperial court. Although this person was a dishonest official and often did things that harmed the common people, he was very careful not to let others take advantage of him.

Therefore, this is also his way of being an official in Fengdu.In the original book, because of his prudence, Qin Yuan didn't catch any of his faults when he was alive. Later, Qin Luochuan didn't take care of him until Qin Luochuan succeeded to the throne.

But when Qin Xuechuan attacked, he used poison, not an assassin.Moreover, Xiangsheng had nothing to do with military power, so naturally there was no need to go to great lengths to kill him in the Winter Hunting Emperor's camp.

Even though Qin Xuechuan knew that he hadn't done anything harmful to him at this moment, he knew in his heart that this Xiangsheng would be eliminated sooner or later.

There was another person, Zou Zhi, the hidden stake that King Linchuan planted in the court.

Zou Zhi and Xiang Sheng have the same temper. Both of them are very careful and keep a low profile. They never make any mistakes.And these traitors were all removed after Qin Luochuan succeeded to the throne.

Zou Zhi was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.The state of Chu has attached great importance to etiquette since ancient times, so the winter hunting arrangement is also arranged according to traditional etiquette. Zou Zhi also participated in it, but if he arranges assassins, isn't the mastermind behind the scenes the King of Linchuan?

Not to mention that King Linchuan is currently at the border and cannot return to the capital, even if he returns to the capital, he does not know Chang Jianzhi, let alone threaten him with Chang Jianzhi's sister to murder the prince.

Qin Xuechuan thought that if he wanted to find out about this matter, he had to start with the familiar people around Chang Jianzhi, so he asked Ah Ying to handle this matter.

Ah Ying was neat and clean, and the two soldiers who followed him were also very dedicated.They will definitely do whatever Qin Xuechuan ordered.

Qin Xuechuan is also very thankful at this moment that he left Aying in the camp to watch Qin Zhen and his two brothers on the day he went hunting in the forest. If he followed, the emperor would kill everyone who followed him in a fit of anger. Ying died when he was in a coma.

Speaking of the two brothers, Qin An and Qin Zhen... Not long after Qin Xuechuan woke up, their biological mother, Concubine Shu Gui, complained to him in front of the emperor, crying.

Concubine Shu cried and said how ruthless His Royal Highness was, and even severely injured her own brother.She cried and said that Qin Xuechuan beat her brother for no reason, and she must ask the emperor to give her justice.

Qin Xuechuan's health just improved a lot, so this kind of thing happened, because Concubine Shu wanted justice, so Qin Xuechuan had to go to the palace to confront the two brothers and Concubine Shu.

This is also the will of the emperor.Concubine Shu monopolizes the power in the harem, Qin Yuan is only in charge of the affairs of the previous court, he rarely inquires about the harem affairs, and ignores those concubines who are jealous, but this matter involves the prince after all.The emperor meant that he was afraid that if this matter was spread out, it would damage the prince's reputation, so he ordered the prince to go to the palace to confront them face to face.

Naturally, Qin Xuechuan was not afraid of them.

***

This is Qin Xuechuan's first time entering the palace after he recovered from his illness. In fact, he is not recovering from his illness, but his health is better.

He once heard that he was going to die, and at the most critical moment, he heard someone calling his name, that person's voice was so gentle... wanting to call him back again and again.

Qin Xuechuan knew that the direction of the light in his dream was the road to the underworld, and the voice that woke him up and called him back was the road to the world. He knew that he had not gone wrong.

The emperor called Concubine Shu and her son to his bedroom, and Qin Xuechuan arrived shortly after that.

As soon as he arrived at the bedroom, he saw a woman in a Chinese robe and a five-tailed phoenix crown knelt in front of Qin Yuan's knees and cried repeatedly: "Your Majesty... have you seen our Zhen'er's injuries? He is so injured." It's so heavy, I'm still lying on the bed and can't get up, the crown prince is so cruel and merciless, he even killed his younger brother like this, His Majesty must give justice to his concubine!"

Obviously, Qin Yuan was a little annoyed by Concubine Shu's crying. He pinched the Jingming acupoint with both fingers, and coaxed her perfunctorily, "My concubine, I know your grievance. Wait until the prince When I get here, I will ask him clearly."

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan walked into the hall, he knelt down and said, "I see my father."

Qin Yuan hurriedly said after seeing him: "You are just recovering from a serious illness, you'd better get up quickly and sit next to him first."

He spoke in the same tone as he spoke to Concubine Shu just now... very perfunctory.

Qin Xuechuan felt that he was a little tired, so he responded and walked to the soft couch beside him and sat down.He found that Qin An was the only one who came today, and Qin Zhen hadn't come yet.

Concubine Shu was very dissatisfied with Qin Yuan's handling, so she continued to cry in front of him: "Your Majesty..."

Qin Yuan knew what she was going to say, so he roared: "Okay! I know, didn't I say it, wait until the prince comes to ask clearly."

Concubine Shu saw that Qin Yuan's expression was a little irritable, so she obediently closed her mouth and dared not speak any more.She was originally a maid by Concubine Xiang's side, and she was used to observing words and expressions on weekdays, so she naturally knew how the emperor was happy and angry.

If it weren't for this, she might not be able to survive the current position of imperial concubine.She got the position of imperial concubine firstly because of her own cautious ability and scheming, and secondly because she gave birth to the pair of twins and princess.

Although she is already the mother of three children, she still looks like a woman in her 30s and [-]s, without any fine spots or brown spots on her skin. Obviously, there are many reasons why she climbed to this position due to her beauty. So she also cares about and maintains her appearance very much.

Qin Yuan seldom entered the harem these years, even if the beauties in the harem are like clouds, they are useless. There are only two fates for them after entering the palace.

Qin Xuechuan vaguely remembered that in the original book, the reason why Zou Zhi poisoned him was to kill him, and then the King of Linchuan forced Qin Yuan to make one of the sons of Concubine Shu the crown prince.

It's a pity... Although Concubine Shu has the ability to climb up, she doesn't know how to educate her children. Her two sons may be beaten to pieces by others if they go to guard a game. How can such a person be the crown prince?

***

In the emperor's bedroom.

Qin Yuan looked up at Qin Xuechuan at this moment, and he asked: "Prince, Concubine Shu said that you punished your younger brother Zhen'er and An'er, is it true?"

When Qin Xuechuan heard him ask this question, he stood up and replied truthfully: "It's true."

Concubine Shu interjected at this moment: "Look, Your Majesty, the crown prince has confessed to the truth. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for An'er and Zhen'er!"

Qin Yuan frowned again, and continued to ask Qin An who was kneeling next to him: "The prince punished you for kneeling, and the prince punished your brother with thirty lashes?"

Qin An was crying like his mother: "Yes, father, my brother is still lying on the bed."

After hearing the two of them finish speaking, Qin Yuan turned his head to look at Qin Xuechuan again.

Qin Xuechuan was not in a hurry to defend himself, he knew that the emperor was the most suspicious, if he was in a hurry to defend himself, he would really be overestimating his capabilities and fall into the trap of a traitor.

Qin Yuan frowned slightly at this moment, obviously he was thinking about something.

Qin Xuechuan thought, the emperor must be thinking at this moment whether he should give himself a chance to defend himself.In the eyes of outsiders, he is a good emperor and father who loves the prince, he is generous and benevolent, and he governs the world with integrity.

For such a good reputation, he did not hesitate to give a fief to the person who saved the prince, but now it is in the inner courtyard of the palace, what happened here will not be known by anyone, the emperor will gag everyone.

Qin Xuechuan was not afraid of punishment, he knew that the emperor didn't want to do anything to him, and he didn't want to defend himself, so he waited for the emperor's execution calmly.

Qin Yuan pondered for a while, then looked at Qin Xuechuan, and said, "Prince, do you have anything to say?"

Qin Xuechuan was stunned when he heard this...
