At the beginning, King Qi didn't connect his assassination with King Han's madness, but when Chu Huan said this, he suddenly felt that it was very reasonable, and suddenly, he felt a chill in his body.

Sun Desheng was also horrified, and said in a low voice: "Lord Chu, then...then do you know who is behind the scenes trying to harm His Highness?" Once something happens, he will have no future, and he is very worried at this moment.

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "This is just my guess. Whether it is true or not is still uncertain." Looking at King Qi, he said, "I'm just worried that there is someone else behind the scenes, so I would like to inform Your Highness. Since that person didn't get what he wanted, Maybe it will be unfavorable to His Highness in the future, but His Highness has to be careful."

King Qi looked dignified, pondered for a while, and finally said: "Chu Huan, what you said makes sense, there must be someone who wants to put this king to death." He clenched his fists, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: " Chu Huan, do you still remember Zhongyizhuang?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

"When I was in Zhongyi Village, I was almost buried there." King Qi said with a cold face, "In order to get the blood knife, I was ambushed. If it wasn't for you that day, I would definitely not be able to get out of Zhongyi Village." A cold look flashed in his eyes, "There are very few people who know about this king's whereabouts, so why was someone ambushing there beforehand?"

Chu Huan frowned, and asked softly, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Someone tried to kill me more than once." Yingren said: "I never fight with others, why would someone stare at me? The reason is simple. I am a thorn in my side. He wants to kill me." , it’s nothing more than because this king has become a stone in his way, so he has made every effort to find an opportunity to kick this stone away.”

"Who is His Highness talking about?" Chu Huan asked softly.

King Qi snorted coldly, and said: "Who else can be." He clenched his fists tightly, his veins bulging, "Why did I go to Zhongyi Village? Because someone asked me to take blood and drink a knife, and he knew my whereabouts like the back of the palm of my hand. "

Chu Huan said: "Your Highness is talking about... the prince!"

Sun Desheng was slightly taken aback, King Qi sneered and said, "I have been wondering who is trying to kill me. Although the person behind the scenes is clearly in front of me, I still don't believe it, but until now Today, if I want to deceive myself and others, I would be so stupid." He looked at Chu Huan, "If he really valued that knife, why would he give it to you so easily? This only proves that he cares about that knife Blood Drinking Knife itself doesn't care, he just wants to find a reason to let me fall into his trap in a daze...!"

Chu Huan was thoughtful, Sun Desheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Your Highness, if the assassination that happened in Zhongyizhuang was really done by the prince, is it too obvious? He asked you to get the knife, and When you were assassinated in Zhongyizhuang, only the crown prince knew of your whereabouts beforehand, if so, then it is not clear that the crown prince is instigating it? This servant sees that even if the crown prince really wants to harm His Highness, he will not do it so clearly."

King Qi snorted coldly, and said: "You are belatedly aware. If this king hadn't mentioned it to you afterwards, you would have known about it? If this king really died in Zhongyi Village with Chu Huan that day, who would know? He asked this king to fetch the knife? Who would know that this matter has something to do with him? It’s nothing more than this king’s luck and narrow escape.”

Chu Huan finally said: "Your Highness thinks that the assassination in Tongtian Palace this time is also instigated by the Prince behind the scenes?"

"If Lang Wuxu and Master didn't show up, this king would already be dead." Ying Ren sneered, "This king is dead, and third brother is crazy. Who do you think will benefit the most?"

Chu Huan and Sun Desheng looked at each other without saying a word.

"His legs are crippled. For a long time, there have been rumors of dethronement in the court." Yingren said slowly: "The king has never cared about this. He has always felt that even if the crown prince is deposed and a new crown prince is established, he can only do so. It's the third brother. But there is a good saying in the book, people don't hurt the tiger's will, but the tiger eats the heart. There are some things that this king can't avoid if he wants to. He must regard the third brother and me as opponents , The third brother was too strong before, he couldn't find a chance to do it, but he wanted to get rid of the king first. This time in Tongtian Temple, he found another opportunity, and wanted to attack the king... yes, it must be him!"

When he said this, he felt that his judgment was not wrong, and he felt a great resentment towards the prince in his heart.

"If His Highness is killed, and the King of Han is insane, such a situation is indeed in the best interest of the Crown Prince." Chu Huan nodded slightly, "Based on common sense, everyone would think that the Crown Prince did this."

King Qi was stunned, and asked: "According to what you mean, isn't this what the prince did?"

"That's not true." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure that the prince ordered all of this, but I also dare not deny that it was not done by the prince." There's something weird about it."

"What's the matter?"

"If the crown prince really arranges people to attack the King of Han and His Highness at the same time in the Tongtian Palace, then he must know in advance everything that is about to happen in the Tongtian Palace." Chu Huan said slowly: "He knows that the Huang family will rebel, and he also knows that the Holy Majesty will turn defeat into victory. I knew that there would be a scuffle in the Tongtian Palace, and I even guessed that the King of Han would be captured...Your Highness, do you think the Crown Prince has such ability?"

King Qi was startled.

"Your Highness, in your eyes, which one is stronger or weaker, the King of Han or the Crown Prince?" Chu Huan stared at King Qi and asked, "Apart from the forces behind them, who is better in terms of their personal talents and wisdom?"

"It's not certain." King Qi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although the prince has disabled legs, but... he was once brilliant and brave. You know, he has a very good relationship with the military. Whether it is Lei Gu Whether Heng or Chi Liandian both praised the prince, I think the prince's ability is not weak if he can get the appreciation of these two people. However, the third brother is also a smart person. .”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and asked again: "Compared to the strength around them, who is better?"

"Of course it's third brother!" King Qi said immediately.

Chu Huan said solemnly: "But His Royal Highness is full of talented people. The Tongtian Palace rebelled. The King of Han didn't know anything beforehand. How could the prince know what happened that night in advance? Huang Ju's rebellion must be cautious. Even His Royal Highness the King of Han concealed the past, let alone leaked the news to others, and only the Holy Majesty knew the deceit and made arrangements in advance. The opposite of Huang Mo, no one expected, and the Holy Majesty planned strategies, except for a few people, it was even more impossible in advance Let others know, so how will the prince know it?"

King Qi was a little dazed when he heard that, and frowned, "Then, in your opinion, who is behind the scenes instigating the assassins to assassinate me?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I thought the matter was very clear at the beginning, but after careful consideration of the clues, it was full of weirdness... It is also because of this that I am not sure that this matter is really planned by the prince." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "And I still have one thing that I am very puzzled about."

"what?"

"If this matter was really done by the crown prince, then why did you treat His Highness and the King of Han in completely different ways?" Chu Huan asked suspiciously, "Why did you always kill His Highness and then quickly, but finally got the chance, but why It just caused the king of Han to go mad, but didn't kill him? Compared with making the king of Han insane, killing him must be easier, but why do you have to sacrifice the easy for the hard? It stands to reason that the crown prince is far more resentful towards the king of Han than his highness , since you want to kill His Highness, there is no reason not to kill the King of Han, why do you just let the King of Han go crazy and not take his life? The madness may not last forever, maybe one day the King of Han suddenly wakes up, wouldn’t that be trouble for himself? ?”

King Qi also fell into deep thought immediately. He naturally didn't see things as deeply as Chu Huan, but after Chu Huan mentioned this, he suddenly felt that this matter was really strange, and many things in it were unreasonable.

"Chu Huan, you mean that the prince who instigated Wu Jingwei to assassinate this king and cause the third brother to go crazy may not be the prince, but someone else?" After a long time, King Qi raised his head and finally asked.

Chu Huan looked dignified, shook his head and said: "Everything is unknown. As I said just now, there are many unreasonable things in it. I don't know if it is the other party's omissions or other reasons. But the other party is good at calculating, so it shouldn't be too late. There are these unreasonable omissions. If this is the case, it can only mean that the other party has other plans. This person's purpose makes people very suspicious... But no matter what, the other party must be a sinister, cunning, vicious person, and must be extremely dangerous , Your Highness must be careful everywhere in the future, this person must be a member of the imperial court, if he really knows everything that is going to happen in the Tongtian Palace in advance, then the way this person gets the news is surprising...!"

Sun Desheng only felt hairy on his body, and his voice trembled, "Master Chu, do you mean that His Highness is still in danger in the future? And this person is near His Highness?"

"This is my guess, but it is definitely not alarmist." Chu Huan said slowly: "Eunuch, you must pay more attention when you are beside His Highness, and you must ensure His Highness's safety."

Sun Desheng hurriedly said: "Even if I risk my life, I must protect His Highness."

At this moment, I saw the old servant from before rushing over and asked, "Your Highness, I wonder if Master Chu Huanchu is here?"

The old servant didn't know Chu Huan, and he didn't know that it was Chu Huan who was following King Qi.

King Qi glanced at Chu Huan, and asked the old servant, "What are you looking for with Chu Huan?"

"It's not the old slave looking for it." The old servant hurriedly said: "It's Eunuch Shui from the palace who found this place. He heard that Master Chu is here, so he came here and asked if Master Chu is here!"

At this time, I saw a few voices coming from not far away, and the first person was Shui Lian, the general manager next to the emperor, who saw Chu Huan from a long distance, and said with a smile: "Master Chu is indeed here, it is easy for miscellaneous families to find... It turns out that His Highness is also here, and this servant has seen His Highness...!"

"What are you looking for with Chu Huan?" King Qi stood up, Shui Lian had already approached, and said, "How dare you bother Mr. Chu, the sage wants to summon Mr. Chu, and the slave went to Mr. Chu's mansion. I heard that Mr. Chu His Highness came to visit the King of Han, so this is why he came here in a hurry to pass the news...!" Xiang Chu Huan said: "Master Chu, the Holy Majesty is still waiting, let's go quickly, don't let the Holy Majesty wait in a hurry."

Chu Huan was a little surprised. At this time, the emperor was looking for what he was doing.

King Qi had already said: "It just so happens that the king is going back to the palace, Chu Huan, you enter the palace with the king." He looked up at the stables not far away, but turned and left the King of Han without saying anything. government.

Because the emperor was in a hurry to summon him, Chu Huan didn't have time to go back to the mansion to change his official robes, so he could only enter the palace in casual clothes.

The Guangming Hall was the place where the emperor had been practicing Taoism before. Although the Tongtian Temple was completed, after a bloody disaster, the Tongtian Temple will be a big mage. The Tongtian Hall still stays in the Guangming Hall to practice Taoism.No matter who wants to enter the Guangming Palace, he must have the permission of the emperor. Even Qi Wang Yingren, without the emperor's summons, cannot enter the Guangming Palace. Although Yingren also wants to go to see the emperor with Chu Huan, he wants to Knowing why the emperor summoned Chu Huan at this time, but the emperor only ordered Shui Lian to summon Chu Huan alone, so Yingren naturally did not dare to come along.

The Guangming Palace was as quiet as ever. After Chu Huan entered the Guangming Palace, it was like meeting the emperor for the first time in the palace. However, the emperor's face today looks the same, he looks very calm, beside the jade platform, there are also two officials present, one is Xu Congyang, a scholar in front of the Zuodu Yushi Palace of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Huang Ju was arrested. After the killing, the Zhongshu Province has no leader, and now Xu Congyang is temporarily in charge of the Zhongshu Province. Besides Xu Congyang, Ma Hong, the Minister of the Household Department, is also here. When he saw Chu Huan coming, Ma Hong had no expression on his face, but he seemed to remember Chu Huan. Huan just snatched a few shops from him.

After Chu Huan stepped forward to worship the emperor, he saw the emperor slowly opened his eyes, looked directly at Chu Huan, and asked coldly, "Chu Huan, are you guilty?"
