Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 32 Thank You, Chu Wuhen

The emperor paused when he heard the words, turned his head and looked at Chu Wuhen with an unpredictable expression, "You mean those assassins are the princes?"

Chu Wuhen was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "The evidence in my hand points to the prince, but I don't think so."

"Oh, why?"

The emperor walked forward again, sounding unfazed.

Xie Shuangge also bit her finger and pricked up her ears.

Chief Eunuch Zhong Qian listened on the other side, silently lowered his head, pretending he didn't hear.

This news is so explosive, if one fails, the one who sees it will die, and the one who hears it will hiccup.

Chu Wuhen was neither humble nor overbearing, and said clearly: "First, the prince himself is the crown prince. If there is no accident, he will ascend the throne smoothly in the future and assassinate His Majesty. It is unnecessary."

The emperor nodded: "Continue."

"Secondly, the other party came here with the intention of dying, so he must have made all preparations. Why did Wei Chen find so many clues? Wei Chen feels like falling into a trap."

"Third, what if this is a trick? If the assassination is successful, the people behind it will benefit, and then push it to the prince. If it is unsuccessful, the prince can also be blamed."

Chu Wuhen kept observing the emperor's expression from the corner of his eye, and saw that there was no fluctuation on his face, and that it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry, so he didn't say any more, but said: "Of course it can't be ruled out that the crown prince did all this. Suspicion of himself, deliberately set himself on fire, making people feel that he is innocent."

"All of the above are speculations by this humble official, His Majesty is clearly aware of it."

After Chu Wuhen's words fell for a long time, the emperor didn't speak, and walked forward on his own. Everyone didn't know what he meant, and they didn't dare to speak easily, so they had to accompany him.

Walking to the camellia bush in the depths of the imperial garden, looking at the flowers in full bloom, the emperor suddenly smiled and asked a question that had nothing to do with the previous one.

"Wuhen, who do you think is better, Jiuyuan or Jiuye?"

Chu Wuhen was startled, but didn't answer immediately, the emperor turned his head to look over, his gaze was still peaceful, but it couldn't be ignored.

Yu Peili's Xie Shuangge also became nervous, and couldn't help but sweat for Chu Wuhen.

This is really a proposition.

If the answer is not good, it is easy for His Majesty to misunderstand one of the people in the team, and thus be suspected by His Majesty. If the answer is too good, it will inevitably make His Majesty jealous.

Even though the heat had not subsided, the people in the imperial garden were all sweating coldly.

"What? Hard to say?"

The emperor asked in a relaxed tone, Chu Wuhen shook his head, looked around, the emperor understood, waved his hands and said: "You all step back."

"Yes."

Everyone felt relieved and quickly evacuated. When Zhong Qian left, he gave Chu Wuhen a look of "seeking good luck".

Xie Shuangge bit her fingertips nervously, her mind spinning wildly, trying to find a just right answer.

But she didn't think about it, even if she thought about it, she couldn't tell Chu Wuhen.

"Go ahead."

The emperor sat down at the stone table, Chu Wuhen walked up to him, lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee, "The crown prince and the second highness are both princes, and it is not up to meddlers to intervene in the affairs of the prince, if we say who is better For a moment, I thought it was Your Majesty, and His Majesty is my reliance."

His tone was calm, but even more convincing.

After hearing this, Xie Shuangge gave him a thumbs up: "Chu Wuhen, you are indeed a person with two big brushes."

Then she stared closely at the emperor to see if he was satisfied with the answer.

The emperor looked at Chu Wuhen in silence for a moment, then clapped his palms and laughed, "Hahahaha—well, well said, there are very few people who are as smart as you at a young age."

Chu Wuhen felt a little relieved.

"Get up, I don't mean to embarrass you, but sometimes, I will also be confused. I want to ask others, but I don't know who to talk to. If it spreads, someone who cares will definitely make a fuss about it. I don’t want to see brothers fighting against each other.”

Chu Wuhen stood up and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, why worry about this too early, the world is unpredictable, and whoever your Majesty chooses in the end will be a wise king of the generation."

Xie Shuangge sighed in admiration, "Aren't you good at talking, why didn't you get angry when you saw me before?"

She snorted, feeling a little lost in her heart.

Her memory still stays in the days when she went to school with her cousins ​​when she was a child, and then beat birds and climbed over the wall. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, they all came to the step of fighting for power.

Those good memories, I'm afraid they can only become memories.

"Okay, I know the matter of the assassin, so let's put it aside for now, and destroy all the evidence found."

The emperor's face showed a bit of vicissitudes, Chu Wuhen cupped his hands, and when he straightened up, he said again, "In fact, I have another discovery, but there is no evidence to prove it, and I have never said it."

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "What?"

"Weichen listened to those assassins, a bit like people from southern Xinjiang."

"Southern Border?!"

"Southern Border?"

Xie Shuangge and the emperor exclaimed at the same time, and the emperor got up from the stone bench, approached Chu Wuhen and asked, "How did you find out? Do you have evidence?"

Xie Shuangge also stood up in Yu Peili, clenched his fists, his expression was not as lively as before, but covered with frost.

Southern Xinjiang is the place where her parents died, and she will never hear these two words in her life!

The emperor was obviously also sensitive to the word "Southern Xinjiang", and his entire aura changed.

Chu Wuhen said: "There is no evidence, it's just that when I was young, I traveled all over the rivers and lakes. I have been to the north and south of the river, and I have dealt with people in the southern border a few times. No matter how good Dayan's dialect is, they still speak with the same tone. The taste of Southern Xinjiang is not recognized by ordinary people, but only those who are particularly familiar with the Southern Xinjiang dialect can perceive it."

The emperor pursed his lips tightly, his expression stern.

Most of the people he brought to the palace were native Jindu people. They had never been to Southern Xinjiang, nor had they met people from Southern Xinjiang. Much more sensitive than ordinary people.

And he knew Chu Wuhen's temperament best, if he didn't speak easily, he must be [-]% sure of speaking.

"If it's really related to Nanjiang, this matter can't be left alone."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Continue to investigate, I want to see who dares to collude with Southern Xinjiang!"

"Yes!"

Chu Wuhen clasped his fists in response.

……

After leaving the palace, Chu Wuhen got on his horse, followed by Xin Zhi and Xin Xing, Xin Xing asked, "Master, where are you going now?"

Chu Wuhen said without turning his head, "Go back to the Chu Mansion."

"Yes."

Riding on a horse, with the wind blowing, Chu Wuhen's sword eyebrows were slightly loosened, his eyes were dim, and he would not let anyone easily expose the matter of the assassin.

He held the rein with one hand, and touched the jade pendant with the other.

The strength was extremely gentle, as if to appease.

Xie Shuangge, who was restlessly wandering around Yu Peili, sensed the strength and temperature, and felt inexplicably at ease.

She raised her head and sighed, holding back her tears, and said silently: Thank you, Chu Wuhen.

At the same time, a slight smile appeared in Chu Wuhen's eyes, and when he raised his head again, his brows were still full of spring, looking ashamed at the flower seller on the street.
