Uncle, don't overdo it

Yang Chen recalled that more than two months ago, upon receiving the instruction from King Xuan, he dug up a tree branch in the place where Mrs. Mei had weeded during the day.If King Xuan hadn't dug up several branches of that kind in several places one after another, he would have mistakenly thought that what he had dug were just ordinary broken branches.

At first glance, it was just an ordinary tree branch, only the length of the fingers was thick and thin, but upon closer inspection, it was not the variety in the garden of the palace, and the branches were put together neatly, as if they had been specially treated by someone.

Yang Chen didn't expect that the soft and weak Mrs. Mei would play tricks behind her back without making a sound on weekdays. It turned out that she had other intentions in tending flowers and plants all day long.

However, Leng Yanqiu couldn't tell what those broken branches were. He only knew that they were plants from the south and were not poisonous.

However, Leng Yanqiu also said that even plants that are not poisonous themselves will change when they encounter certain things. They are not poisonous but can be used as medicine. As for the specific function of these broken branches, he does not know.

Later, Ximen Jingxuan ordered Yang Chen to bury those broken branches in their original positions.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Mei quietly dug out those broken branches and burned them. At that time, Mrs. Zhiqi was still looking for the smell of smoke and found Mrs. Mei to inquire. Mrs. Mei said that she wanted to burn ashes to fertilize the flowers and plants.

Later, Mrs. Mei began to serve tea to Ximen Jingxuan.

"What I'm curious about is why she burned those things?" Ximen Jingxuan said, "According to the time, it was after this king brought her into the palace to see Ximenhen."

"The lord suspects that Mrs. Mei will follow the arrangement of the second prince?" Yang Chen asked.

"She must have something to do with Ximenhen." Ximen Jingxuan said, "This king deliberately brought her into the palace to get close to Ximenhen. She also promised me to pay attention to Ximenhen's situation, but later she told me that she was I saw Ximenhen but didn't have a chance to say anything more, but when she said this, I saw her hands tightly crossed, that was her nervous reaction."

"She lied." Yang Chen said, "It means that the second prince really has a problem."

Ximen Jingxuan nodded, "To return to the capital from southern Xinjiang together, there is no way that there will be no problems between them, but what I don't know is who ordered what she is going to do."

"Isn't it the Second Prince?" Yang Chen asked.

"This king believes that burning the broken branches of Wumei is the same as Zhiqi returning the dagger. The result came from Ximen Hen, but the cause may not be him." Ximen Jingxuan said.

"The lord once analyzed that the cloaked man should have something to do with Zhiqi and Ren stealing the dagger, so what about Mrs. Mei? Is it another line that the cloaked man arranged next to the lord?" Yang Chen asked.

Ximen Jingxuan shook his head, "Wumei comes from Yuehua Country, so it should have nothing to do with the cloaked man in the capital. I think it's rooted in Yuehua Country, but when I think about the situation when I met Wumei, there is no one behind her." Yes, otherwise, she would not have fallen into such a miserable situation. If this king hadn't appeared, her fate would have been unknown. If something happened to Wu Mei, she should have been targeted when she finally arrived at Prince Xuan's mansion and was considered useful. of."

"This Mrs. Mei really repays virtue with hatred!" Yang Chen was dissatisfied.

"I can't blame her. Originally, my intention to rescue her was impure. It was just a private deal with the monarch of Yuehua Kingdom." Ximen Jingxuan said, "If she had any deals with others, I What can the king say?"

"No matter what, it was the prince who saved her from fire and water, and it would be wrong for her to assassinate the prince together with others!" Yang Chen said.

"But hasn't she already burned those strange broken branches?" Ximen Jingxuan asked as he drank his last sip of tea and leaned back on the chair.

"The Second Prince must have said something to her that made her change her mind." Yang Chen said.

"Yes, the problem of the change must be with Ximenhen. Ximenhen is really making me more and more incomprehensible, and I don't understand what he wants to do. I can be sure that we were all deceived by him before, but he Unlike the design of the cloaked man, returning daggers and burning broken branches, they all made plans for me before I knew the situation."

Ximen Jingxuan thought about it, "He first grasped something that the king didn't know, and then quietly kept himself out of the matter. On the surface, he was still on the side of the king. Now that I think about it carefully, I first appeared in the Zhiqi courtyard. The female corpse in the story, that is what Yan'er said, the Yinzhi that Lin Xiner told her wanted to impersonate but was removed, was thrown into Xuan Palace by Ximenhen's people. The purpose was obviously to remind the king, It was only later that Xiner disturbed her."

"The prince said so, the second prince seems to be really on our side, but he did it so mysteriously, behind his back there was an accident, and he hid himself for so many years, the second prince's scheming is deep enough." Yang Chen said, "I don't know what his intentions are? But the purpose can be imagined, it must be for the throne. Before the crown prince and the prince were united as one, he didn't dare to act rashly. Now that the prince lost the protection of the prince, he turned against the prince. It started to squirm."

"He is not the only one who is ready to move. Before anything happened between the crown prince and the king, some people could not bear it. If he hadn't played tricks behind the scenes, why would the king, Xin'er, and the crown prince get into the field today!" Ximen Jing There was a bit of chill in Xuan's eyes.

Fighting for power and position has been an indispensable thing over the years, but it endangers him and Xin'er, and it is really hateful to make a fuss about their relationship.

"The man in the cloak... who the hell is it?" Yang Chen murmured to himself.

"Although I haven't got any evidence, it should be him." Ximen Jingxuan leaned on the back of the chair and looked up at the roof. It seemed that two mosquitoes were flying and fighting.

Having followed Ximen Jingxuan for many years, Yang Chen still knows a lot about his words and deeds.

Yang Chen knew who this "he" was, but it was still too unbelievable to think about it.

He is obviously a sick and weak person, with a reputation appreciated by everyone, could it really be a man in a cloak hiding in the dark?

Although both Ximenhen and "he" are surprising now, the man in the cloak is supposed to be darker than the second prince.

"The situation back then is finally going to happen again. If the emperor knows that his other two sons are not what everyone sees, will he be happy? After all, if they have such a movement, it means that no matter which one is better than Ximen Che Qiang, I wonder if the emperor will still love the prince even though he doesn't like him like before?"

As Ximen Jingxuan said, he stared intently at the mosquitoes circling on the roof, and finally one fell down and fled out the window.

"Now that the crown prince has gone to northern Xinjiang, I wonder if there will be any movement in the capital?" Yang Chen also thought about it.
