Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 501

Concubine Ling is Han Zhan's aunt. It is said that Concubine Ling should protect Han Zhan, but instead of protecting Han Zhan, she wants to put Han Zhan to death.

The prince didn't know the reason, but Zhongyonghou knew it clearly.

Sure enough, after getting the prince's affirmative answer, Zhongyonghou sneered: "This woman has a vicious mind, I should have—"

Realizing that it was inconvenient to say this to outsiders, Zhongyong Hou stopped suddenly.

He said to the prince: "Since Concubine Ling has intervened, you must be careful. This woman is very insidious and cunning. I am afraid that she will play tricks behind her back and harm my son."

The prince nodded: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely protect Han Zhan."

Zhongyonghou asked the crown prince and concubine Xian to make arrangements early, just in case, and he returned to the mansion to contact General Qi to discuss the matter together.

As soon as Zhongyonghou returned to the mansion, Chu Zhi asked, "Father, how is Ah Zhan?"

"Temporarily imprisoned, His Majesty has orders. The case will be presided over by the Fourth Prince, with Chen Yong's assistance, and the concubine Ling will be in the way. I'm worried that his life in it will not be easy." After Zhongyonghou said this, he laughed again. "Forget it, if it's not easy, it's not easy, we men of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, what a bit of suffering!"

Chu Zhi knew that Zhongyonghou was comforting her, telling her not to worry.

She pursed her lips and asked: "Between Concubine Ling and mother...why did she frame Ah Zhan like this?"

Chu Zhi asked gently, but Zhong Yonghou understood what she meant.

Laughed, and said helplessly: "Speaking of which, this matter has some origins. I told you earlier that she was at odds with your mother, and that's why she opposed us everywhere."

What Zhongyonghou said was anticlimactic, and he seemed to have said it, but in fact he didn't say anything. In summary, the concubine Ling couldn't understand the Hou Mansion, and wanted to kill the Hou Mansion, but she didn't know any grudges or grievances.

That being the case, why did they have to wait until now to take action against the Hou Fu when they were safe and sound before?Is Concubine Ling planning something?
Thinking of this, Chu Zhi's eyes darkened slightly, and she boldly guessed that in her previous life, the Zhongyonghou's mansion was ransacked overnight, could it be related to Concubine Ling?
And Luo Shi, if Luo Shi is stupid enough to join hands with Chu Xi to help the fourth prince deal with Han Zhan, will Luo Shi in the previous life be used by the concubine Ling for the sake of being the son, and betray the Hou's mansion, so that the Hou's mansion will be destroyed overnight? It no longer exists, and there is no room to fight back.

Otherwise, how could it be explained that the Hou Mansion had made a perfect plan and had been in contact with General Qi all the time, so how could it be suddenly suppressed without any power to fight back?Moreover, Chu Zhi vaguely remembered that Gu Changyan mentioned that after the house of Zhongyonghou was ransacked, many treasures were found out, and many of them were rewarded by Emperor Xiao to Gu Changyan. Those things may be the ones she saw in her life , Put gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room to be used just in case.

Only the closest people know these things, and only the closest people will be defenseless.

The more Chu Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right, so he said to Zhong Yonghou: "By the way, Father, I have something to tell you about my mother."

"Luo Shi?" Zhongyonghou asked, "What happened to her?"

"I thought that my mother's behavior was intentional, so I called the people around me to pay attention. Only then did I find out that my mother had been in contact with Chu Xi all along, and joined forces with the four princes to secretly frame Ah Zhan. That's why Ah Zhan..." Chu Zhi sighed, "Since The fourth prince was able to hide the dragon robe in the East Palace, so he was fully prepared, and I am worried that this matter is not as optimistic as imagined."

"What did you say?" Zhongyong Hou subconsciously denied, "Impossible! Although Luo Shi is petty and narrow-minded, he is not so stupid as to commit suicide. You must know that she framed Zhan'er, and the Hou family also She will suffer, she won't be so stupid!"

Chu Zhi knew that Zhongyonghou would not believe it, not to mention Zhongyonghou, even Chu Zhi felt that Luo Shi's head was confused when he first heard the news!

Fortunately, Chu Zhi knew that Zhongyonghou was a sensible person, the reason why he said that was because he didn't believe that Luo Shi could do such a thing.

He said: "It's true. I have sorted out the specific evidence. I will make a decision after my father has seen it. Just in case, I have sent someone to guard my mother in the yard. Qian'er asked Xiang Bo to send a reliable person early in the morning." Sent back to Shanxi, now on the way."

"It's hard for you." Zhongyonghou knew that without definite evidence, Chu Zhi would not make decisions without authorization. It was precisely because he understood this that he was very angry, but the most important thing right now was Han Zhan, "Father knows that you are a man with ideas." Man, I never kept it from you from the beginning, so I told you that if there is any accident, the Hou Mansion will probably assist the crown prince to win the throne, and when the time comes..."

"Father, don't worry, I understand."

Zhongyonghou put a piece of jade pendant in Chu Zhi's palm: "This is Qilin Jade, which can be used to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the house at will, and it is also a token of communication with Brother Qi. I will give it to you. If there is an emergency, you can use it at will. "

"This……"

"You can take it if I give it to you." Zhongyonghou said with a smile, "Now that you are married, you are one of your own."

Chu Zhi bit his lip and nodded solemnly: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Hou Zhongyong's move was just in case, he was worried that Emperor Xiao would really ignore it and attack the Hou's mansion, but he did not expect to be guessed right.

Early the next morning, Marquis Zhongyong was called into the palace urgently.

It turned out that the fourth prince found out that the Hou Mansion had bought a lot of gold thread and silk from the state of Chu privately. Because of the concealment of the business, they bought them in batches, so no one noticed, but these things could really make a dragon robe if they were put together. The proof must be that Zhongyonghou's mansion wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, deliberately blaming the prince.

The fourth prince knew that Zhongyong Hou didn't believe it, so he said in front of Emperor Xiao: "When your wife Luo Shi and Xi'er attended a banquet together, she slipped her tongue and said that these gold threads and silks were bought by someone from your Houfu. The person next to you, do you still want to deny it?"

Roche!

Hou Zhongyong's eyes narrowed, and he didn't say anything for a while, because Chu Zhi had told him yesterday that Luo Shi had colluded with the fourth prince to frame Han Zhan, so facing the fourth prince's correction, Zhongyonghou said: Sure enough.

He paused for a while, and in the eyes of others, he became a guilty conscience, so he arrested Zhongyonghou on the spot and took him to prison.

Taking advantage of the victory, Xiao Yide chased after him, and said to Emperor Xiao: "Father, since the Zhongyonghou's mansion is ambitious, why don't we just capture all the people in the mansion, and deal with them after interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment. What do you think?"

Emperor Xiao glanced at Xiao Yide, but did not speak.

In fact, Emperor Xiao knew in his heart that it didn't matter whether the Zhongyonghou Mansion was guilty or not. Crown Prince.

Emperor Xiao could see the thoughts of these people, all of them said nice things on the surface, but they were all staring at his position!

Just listen to Emperor Xiao's way: "The Zhongyonghou's mansion has committed a felony of treason, so we really can't stay any longer."

After hearing this, Xiao Yide was overjoyed.
