Chapter 453 Killing Intent

"In addition," Cheng Enbo glanced around, "from now until His Highness moves into the East Palace, the Palace needs to send more people to carefully watch everything around."

Uh?
Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and they all looked at him in surprise.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

This is Xingji City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there anyone who dares to risk the world?
hum.

Cheng Enbo sneered, "Do you all remember the anecdote about the royal family that appeared in the newspaper?"

"What royal secret..."

Just as King Qin opened his mouth, he reacted immediately and closed his mouth thoughtfully.

Cheng Enbo looked at his grandson and nodded approvingly.

He gently blew on the hot tea in his hand, and said emotionally: "The descendants of the Chen family are thriving!"

Not only did Emperor Changxing have several adult sons, but there were also countless offshoots of the royal family all over Yunchui.If there are so many descendants of dragons and grandchildren who are really ready to move, they really have to be guarded against.

When King Qin thought of this, his face darkened.

Four years ago, when civil unrest broke out in the west, Emperor Changxing sent Chen Xiujian to take charge of the unrest.

This prince has no power and power, everyone regards him as a mascot, and no one expects Chen Xiujian to play any role in calming the chaos.

Unexpectedly, he appeared out of nowhere and unexpectedly released a series of astonishing measures, which quickly disintegrated the rioters everywhere, and finally accelerated the process of calming down the chaos.

When this news spread to Xingji City, it did not fail to brighten the eyes of all the senior officials in the imperial capital.

But at that time, the Qin Palace was not worried at all.

Because no matter how capable Chen Xiujian is, he will soon marry Princess Heqin from Baekje according to the will of Emperor Jangxing.

This means that he has nothing to do with the throne for the rest of his life.

As a result, within a few days, a good Baekje princess was suddenly attacked and killed.

Although Jin Linwei's investigation turned out to be the work of the Japanese pirates, in the end Emperor Changxing was so angry that he transferred the Xingluo Legion to the north to give the Japanese pirates a good look.

But more people still think that it should be Chen Xiujian who killed his fiancée.

And at that time, he didn't have any help on the surface.

As for King Qi...

When King Qin thought of this imperial brother, his face became even more gloomy.

Although he didn't want to admit it from the bottom of his heart, Emperor Changxing was more optimistic about Chen Xiuzhu, which was known to almost everyone among the princes.

As a result, at the most critical moment, the biggest opponent suddenly disappeared.

For a moment, everyone, including Jin Linwei, turned their eyes to Prince Qin's Mansion.

Some of them did come to get closer, but more people were skeptical.

The position of the emperor is occupied by the virtuous.

Even if an immoral person steals by accident, it never lasts long.

Qin Wang naturally understood this point.

At that time, he was really dumb eating yellow lotus, he couldn't tell what he was suffering...

hum.

While thinking wildly, a sneer interrupted King Qin's thoughts.

He looked up.

Cheng Enbo squinted his eyes and looked towards the northeast.

"Your Majesty has already decided on the candidate for the crown prince, and a grand ceremony will be held in a few days. If some shady villains still have wishful thinking, it is estimated that something will happen in the near future. We have to guard against it."

The staff members in the hall nodded thoughtfully.

"Wait." Cheng Enbo put down a sip of untouched tea in his hand, "If something happens in the past few days that can affect the position of the crown prince, it means that our worries are correct. There are indeed some collateral royal families who are thinking about it. throne."

"Everyone should think of a way to remind His Majesty."

"Yes!" The staff members looked at each other and responded one after another.

boom!
King Qin slammed his fist on the coffee table, "If this is the case, I will thank you gentlemen in advance."

If he is still defeated by other brothers after fighting hard, Chen Xiumei has nothing to say even though he is not convinced.

If those offshoots who suddenly emerged from some "royal family secret" dared to imagine Yunchui's supreme throne, then he would be the first to refuse.

Prince Jin's Mansion, main hall
It is rare for Fan Wen to visit his granddaughter's house.

Princess Jin was surprised and delighted when she got the news.

In the years after she got married, she still saw her parents occasionally, but Fan Wen was too rigid, and it was very rare for the grandparents and grandchildren to see each other up close.

Regardless of her big belly, she quickly changed her clothes and rushed from the backyard to the main hall.

Chen Xiulan was also in the hall, and they were talking about something.

"grandfather!"

Princess Jin ran in, "How are you, old man?"

Fan Wen frowned, "Lanzhi, why are you such a big maid, why don't you hurry up and help the princess?"

He didn't answer his granddaughter's words, he got up to tidy up his descriptions, and saluted politely.

"The old minister has seen the princess."

Etiquette is formal and of course tedious.

Chen Xiulan winked at the side, as if it really did.

Princess Jin quietly rolled her eyes.

It's just that she is familiar with her grandfather's temperament, so she had to wait patiently and dare not say much, so as not to suffer round after round of continuous teaching later.

After a long while, Fan Wen finished his salute and carefully looked at his eldest granddaughter. Seeing her ruddy face and happy expression, he was relieved.

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted for a while, and Princess Jin couldn't help being a little curious.

"Grandpa, why are you here at this time?"

Now is an extraordinary time.If her child is born in another two or three months, no one will say anything.

Looking at the harmonious couple in front of him, Fan Wen rarely smiled.

He didn't explain, but said indifferently: "Grandfather came to talk to the prince about some important matters, and he will return to the manor in a while."

Princess Jin understood.

Although her heart was itchy, she had no choice but to retreat first, "Grandfather is hard to get to the palace, don't rush to leave. Granddaughter will tell the cook to cook something you like."

"Go, go." Fan Wen replied vaguely.

Chen Xiulan watched his wife go away, and shook his head slightly.

Given the relationship between Prince Jin's Mansion and the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, even if Fan Wen stayed in the mansion honestly after he came down, would Jin Linwei or Emperor Changxing really think that the two of them have no connection?
He sat up straight, "Chang Shi, go outside and watch! This king wants to discuss important matters with Master Shang Shu, and no one is allowed to come near the study."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

The head of the palace, Shi, had a serious expression, and hurriedly left the main hall.

The two entered the study.

It was the first time for Fan Wen to visit Chen Xiulan's study, and he looked up at the surrounding layout.

cough.

Chen Xiulan blushed a little.

"My king doesn't like reading very much. Most of the books in the study are strange stories or folklore that can't be put on the table. My grandfather laughed at me."

It's not surprising that Fan Wen knows the temperament of his grandson-in-law.

His heart suddenly moved slightly.

"There was a secret story about the royal family in the September newspaper. I wonder if the prince has read it? I heard that Jin Linwei has been looking for the author of that story, and I don't know if he has found it."

Chen Xiulan was startled, then nodded and smiled, "I really know about the so-called secret story."

cough.

Facing Fan Wen's strange eyes, he explained a little.

"Princess usually has nothing to do. As soon as she got the newspaper, she wanted to read it dozens of times from beginning to end. She even told me that story as a joke several times."

"By the way." Chen Xiulan was curious, "Has the Jinlin Guard been too busy to do things lately? Such a story full of mistakes and omissions has attracted their attention?"

Fan Wen nodded, "Not only has it attracted attention, but it seems that a large number of people have been sent to investigate."

"That's right." Chen Xiulan laughed.

"Then Du Ziming, the leader of the Jinlin Guard, seems a little sad again. Last time he investigated the source of the newspaper with great fanfare, but he still can't come up with decent results. This folk rumor has no head and no name. I guess it will end up in the end. It’s also an unsolved case.”

Fan Wen glanced at his son-in-law, but said nothing.

The two chatted for a few words, and finally turned to the topic.

Fan Wen has always advocated being upright, so he couldn't help but lower his voice at this time, "My lord, the old minister should not stay for a long time, so I will make a long story short."

"You say."

"En." Fan Wen pondered for a moment.

"According to the veteran's observation, His Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition. These days, he is often irritable and explosive in the morning court, and his temperament becomes more and more erratic. Occasionally, when he mentions the major legions, his face shows a faint murderous intent."

Chen Xiulan's heart sank, she couldn't help straightening her back, "You mean..."

He shook his head quickly, "Not at all."

The major legions are the pillars of Yunchui, and they will not fall for hundreds of years, so Emperor Changxing can move if he wants to.

Fan Wen took a deep look towards the east, "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. If the commanders of the major armies really have something to fall into His Majesty's hands, it's hard to say..."

He didn't wait for his granddaughter's food, and left directly after finishing talking, leaving Chen Xiulan sitting silently in the study.
