After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Qin Xuechuan walked into the hall with a blank face at the moment, and when he saw Qin Yuan, he showed a very surprised look: "Father...how come you don't let anyone tell me about this son? Extremely sorry."

Qin Yuan frowned tightly after hearing this.

Qin Xuechuan looked around at this moment, and when he saw Xianglu and Concubine Shu, he was surprised again: "Why did uncle and concubine come here too? Father...has something happened?"

Seeing Qin Xuechuan's innocent look, Concubine Shu glared at him furiously: "You still have the guts to ask this, where is Zhen'er? Give me back my Zhen'er!"

Qin Xuechuan lowered his head after seeing Concubine Shu's appearance, and his expression suddenly became sad: "Concubine, I know you are still sad about the eighth younger brother, I have already made prayer flags for the eighth younger brother and copied some Buddhist scriptures, may he reach bliss early."

Concubine Shu's expression at this moment is even more angry than before: "You don't cry like a mouse here, I know that you have always wanted to harm my child."

Qin Xuechuan frowned tightly at this moment, he suddenly looked at Qin Yuan: "Father, my son is not."

At this moment, Qin Yuan winked at the people around him, and the palace servants stepped forward and pulled Concubine Shu aside.

Qin Yuan said at this moment: "Concubine Shu, this matter has not yet been settled, you have to take care of your identity and don't be so reckless."

Concubine Shu retreated after hearing this, she knelt down and wiped her tears again: "I believe that Your Majesty will give justice to my wife."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yuan looked at Qin Xuechuan: "Prince, I ask you, where did you go today?"

After hearing his question, Qin Xuechuan replied: "I know that the noble concubine is sad about my eighth younger brother, so I went to Huguo Temple to burn the Buddhist scriptures I copied myself for my younger brother."

Qin Yuan frowned slightly: "Is this true?"

Qin Xuechuan replied: "If the father doesn't believe it, you can ask the monks in the Huguo Temple. My minister has indeed gone to the Huguo Temple."

"Then you know that your eighth brother's body was stolen today."

When Qin Xuechuan heard this, he suddenly raised his head in shock: "Father...Royal Father, how could this happen?"

Concubine Shu pointed at Qin Xuechuan: "It's you who have always wanted to harm our mother and son, how dare you ask like that?"

At this moment, Qin Yuan waved his hand at Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu closed her mouth after seeing Qin Yuan's gesture.

Qin Yuan looked at Qin Xuechuan and said, "Concubine Shu thinks that you stole your brother's body, prince, what objection do you have?"

When Qin Xuechuan heard Qin Yuan asking him this way, he suddenly looked at Qin Yuan with an expression of disbelief: "Father... how could my son do such a thing? Not to mention that the imperial city is heavily guarded. It is not an easy task in the palace, why do you want your younger brother's body?"

When talking about this, Qin Yuan nodded his head: "It is true that you have never entered the palace, but the palace servants once said that they had seen the eunuch next to the imperial concubine to deliver a message. It's just that they didn't see it clearly, so the eunuch was very angry. Suspicious, I have ordered someone to investigate."

Qin Xuechuan turned pale when he heard this, and said: "Father, even if this is the case, it can't prove that I did it. Besides, I went to Huguo Temple to burn scriptures. All the monks in the temple have seen me, so I am wronged."

Qin Yuan nodded: "I will send someone to Huguo Temple to inquire later."

Concubine Shu still refused to let go after hearing what Qin Xuechuan said: "Even so, if you let your bodyguards punish Zhen'er, Zhen'er died because of you."

When Qin Xuechuan heard her accuse him like this, he suddenly knelt down in Qin Yuan's direction: "Royal father, it's all because of my servant who didn't discipline me well. It's true that my son is also responsible for the eighth younger brother, so my son asked The emperor punishes the sons and ministers."

At this moment, Xiang Lu, who was listening to the three of them talking, suddenly said: "It is true that the crown prince did not discipline his servants well, but hasn't His Majesty already dealt with that guard? And that day, the winter hunting crown prince was almost lost because of an assassin." Fate, I think this matter is quite strange, please forgive the prince for the sake of your majesty!"

Concubine Shu also looked at Xianglu at this moment: "King Nanling is the prince, does he have ulterior motives?"

After Xianglu heard this, he quickly confessed: "The minister is loyal to His Majesty and never dares to have second thoughts. Please also learn from Your Majesty!"

Qin Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this, and raised his hand: "I know, you should get up first."

Xianglu said: "Yes, I obey the order!"

After the two of them finished talking, Qin Xuechuan suddenly raised his head and asked, "Father, is the body of the eighth brother really gone?"

Qin Yuan frowned when he heard him ask this question: "What does the prince mean by this?"

Qin Xuechuan replied: "I think this matter is quite strange, the imperial city is heavily guarded, who would dare to steal the body of the eighth brother in this heavily guarded imperial city? I think the father should send People go to the harem to search again, maybe they will find nothing."

Concubine Shu Gui shouted angrily at this moment: "What is your intention?"

Qin Xuechuan suddenly raised his head and looked at her: "The imperial concubine led troops to surround the East Palace, and she never searched for the body of the eighth younger brother in the imperial city. Why is the imperial concubine so sure that the eighth younger brother is here in this palace? Could it be that the imperial concubine would not know the foresight?" ?”

After hearing his words, Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be a hint of panic in her eyes.

At this time, Qin Xuechuan begged: "I ask Father to conduct a thorough investigation in the imperial city, so that my eighth brother can be treated fairly."

When Xianglu heard Qin Xuechuan's words, he also followed Qin Yuan and said: "Your Highness said it is very true. The imperial concubine has searched the East Palace and has not found the Eighth Highness. I think it is better to search the area around the imperial palace. Especially Your Majesty should conduct a thorough investigation of the Qingluan Hall where the coffin of His Highness the Eighth Prince is located, maybe you will find some clues."

After Qin Yuan heard what Xianglu said, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He looked up and glanced at Concubine Shu, who was still angry, and then looked at Qin Xuechuan, who had no expression on his face.

After a while, he got up and walked forward: "Withdraw all the forbidden troops, take back the decree from Concubine Shu, and let the guards of the imperial city go to the harem to search. Concubine Shu will be placed in her own palace first, and the crown prince will also stay in the East Palace. Without my order, The two of you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate."

At this moment, Wang Ping, who was beside Qin Yuan, said after hearing the oral order: "This old slave obeys the order."

Qin Xuechuan also said: "Your servant obeys the order!"

Concubine Shu Gui suddenly sat down on the ground after hearing what the emperor said.

Qin Xuechuan knew that the emperor was a cruel and suspicious person, so he would not trust anyone in the current situation.But even if he doesn't believe in himself, he will take Xianglu into consideration.Concubine Shu was originally just a maid beside Xiang Muling. Her background was not high, and she had no one to support her.

Qin Yuan is scheming, his thoughts are so deep, so it is impossible for him not to know how Concubine Shu colludes with officials on weekdays.So the emperor doesn't trust Concubine Shu at the moment.

***

After everyone had left, Qin Xuechuan spat out the blood that was pent up in his chest.At this moment, he felt a heavy pain in his chest, as if he had been bitten by something, and the blood he spit out was dark black.

Seeing this, Herring hurried forward and handed the handkerchief to Qin Xuechuan: "Your Highness! Are you alright, Your Highness?"

Qin Xuechuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, he suddenly got up and turned his head to look at the gate of the palace, it was already late at night, the night outside was as cool as water, and there was a waning moon hanging in the night sky.

He pushed herring aside: "I don't want to harm others, but others want to kill me."

After hearing what he said, Herring quickly knelt down: "Your Highness! Your Highness, that's not the case."

Qin Xuechuan turned to look at Qingyu at this moment, he lowered his head to look at her: "Hingyu, how many years have you been with Ben Gong?"

Qingyu replied at this moment: "It has been 12 years since I returned to Your Highness. The servant girl was assigned to serve His Highness when she was 12 years old. Two hearts!"

After Qin Xuechuan heard this, he suddenly sneered: "It's that woman again."

Qingyu said again: "No matter what His Highness does, Herring will go through fire and water for His Highness, and will not hesitate to do so. Your Highness... please trust your servant once."

Qin Xuechuan raised his hand at this moment: "Get up first."

Seeing this, Herring quickly got up.

Qin Xuechuan said: "It's inconvenient for me to go out now, you go and pass a word to Chang Zuo Ling's family, saying that there is no problem with me here, and let him rest assured."

Qingyu knew that Chang Zuoling that Qin Xuechuan mentioned was Chang Jianzhi, she quickly said: "Yes, this servant obeys."

After finishing speaking, Herring walked out of the palace gate.

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan still felt some pain in his chest and wrists. He opened his sleeves and found that his wrists were wrapped in circles of white bandages, and there was a not too deep and not too shallow wound on his wrist...

***

Qin Xuechuan never thought of harming anyone when he came here, but if he didn't harm others, so many people plotted against him and wanted to kill him.He doesn't harm people, but he can't just be murdered by others without knowing why. Since he already knows that the assassination of Winter Hunting is inseparable from Concubine Shu, he will simply do nothing and keep doing what those people did. Evil deeds are given to others in the same way.

It's just... why did he wake up in Huguo Temple?Moreover, he seemed to have heard Xiao Yu's voice when he was asleep...

He remembered that the last person he saw before he fell asleep was Xiao Yu, but when he woke up, Xiao Yu was gone, and he was lying in the upper room of Huguo Temple to rest.

The abbot of the Huguo Temple said that he came to copy scriptures for his brother who passed away not long ago and burned them to pray for his early ascension to bliss.Later, he said that he was tired, so he fell asleep in the meditation room of Huguo Temple.

When he returned to the East Palace, he saw such a big formation.Although there are still many doubts, but now that things have developed into this way, he can only move forward.

Qin Xuechuan wanted to wait until this matter was over, and then he would personally go to Xiao Yu to find out.
