Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 248 The People Behind the Scenes



As soon as Chu Ci's words came out, the expressions of some people in the field immediately became panicked, and anyone could see his strangeness.

Emperor Tianhe's eyes were dim, and he waved his hand to let the companions and guards leave. Yu Ren never liked to get involved in these things, so he silently saluted and followed. Yu Qiu wanted to stay, but he was too young. Coaxed by the accompanying readers, he reluctantly walked out.

"Brother Dahuang, why is your face covered in sweat?" He was about to leave when he turned his head and saw Yu Ji, seeing a lot of sweat on his forehead, his small mouth suddenly opened wide.

"Jiujiu, the elder brother must be hot, hurry up and wipe his sweat off." The second prince said meaningfully.

Yu Qiu obediently stepped forward, took out the small handkerchief in his arms, and wanted to wipe Yu Ji's sweat, but he just lifted the handkerchief and stretched it over, when Yu Ji pushed him, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Emperor Tianhe caught Yu Qiu and handed him over to the eunuch, telling him to take him away quickly.When only Chu Ci, the First Prince, and the Second Prince were left in the study, Emperor Tianhe suddenly darkened his face and called out "Ji'er".His voice was low and full of anger, obviously very dissatisfied with the actions of the First Prince just now.

Yu Ji seemed to regret it too, but he held his head and refused to admit his mistake, looking like he was still losing his temper.

Tianhedi didn't want to be angry, but he also angered him.

"Yu Ji, brother and friend, have you learned about the dog's stomach?! Also, please explain to me, who is in this painting? Why are you so panicked after seeing the painting?" Tianhe The emperor said sternly, the eunuchs in the upper study were silent, and the timid ones trembled all over, for fear of harming Chi Yu.

Chu Ci lowered his head and watched from the sidelines. He only needed to tell this matter, and the rest was out of his control.If he added oil and vinegar at this time, he might make the eldest prince suffer a little, but when Tianhedi remembered the warmth of father and son in the past, he would be the first to deal with him.

Moreover, he always felt that this matter was a little strange.

Yu Ji opened his mouth, wanting to explain but didn't know where to start, Tianhe Emperor was even more angry when he saw him like this.

"Come on, go to Cheng'an Hall, and find this person for me!" Cheng'an Hall is the residence of the First Prince, and Emperor Tianhe said this, which means that this person was sent by the First Prince.

"No need! Xiao Linzi was sent by me!" Yu Ji said at the moment when the guards were about to step into the door to receive the order, "Because I don't want him to be my lecturer at all!"

"So you blamed the imperial court official, and wanted him to break into the harem, so as to get a crime?" Tianhedi was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He didn't expect that he always thought that the straightforward and informal boss would be such a short-sighted one. people.

"I didn't! I just asked Xiao Linzi to take him around the palace a few more times to delay the time, so that the father thought he was not punctual!" Yu Ji cried out for himself.

After listening to his explanation, Chu Ci inexplicably felt that maybe this was indeed what he was thinking in his heart. After all, with the IQ of the eldest prince, this was probably the only thing he could think of.

If it wasn't the first prince, could it be...Chu Ci began to observe the second prince without any trace, but the second prince didn't show the slightest bit of guilty conscience, maybe he was too good at acting?

"Are you trying to say that Xiao Linzi wanted to frame Chu Siye on his own initiative?" Tianhedi smiled instead of anger, "Then why did he frame Chu Siye without your order? They What's the holiday in between?"

Yu Ji was at a loss for words for a while, and Emperor Tianhe asked again: "Since he wanted to frame Chu Siye himself, how did he get out of the room that was locked in the first place? Who transferred the guards in the harem, and who is the door?" opened?"

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Tianhedi sneered and said, "Can't speak?"

"Anyway, I didn't ask him to do this!" Yu Ji suddenly exclaimed, "Why do you believe his one-sided words? The door of the harem was not opened, and Xiao Linzi was not locked up. Why do you have to be sure that it is Xiao Linzi? Framed him? Maybe he saw through my plan, so he bit back..."

Tianhedi stared at him silently, as if to see what else he wanted to make up.

Yu Jiyue said that the more he felt that he was justified, he said convincingly: "If I want to frame him, I will not trick people into the harem at all. The harem is under the jurisdiction of the mother. If a foreigner trespasses, he will be the first to be held accountable." It's my mother, how could I do this?"

Chu Ci listened and nodded in his heart.This statement is still tenable, and this is why he felt strange just now.When a male outsider enters the harem, there may be scandals that mess up the court, and the empress, who is the leader of the harem, will naturally bear the blame.Even if Yu Ji wanted to frame him, he probably wouldn't drag his mother into the water, right?

"You really let me down. Could it be that this painting appeared out of thin air? If you hadn't revealed your secrets, how could others find a chance to frame you? Now that things have been exposed, you are still full of lies, and even made your mother Moved out to cover up for you, you don't look like a man at all, I and the queen are so spoiled by you!"

Emperor Tianhe's remorseful expression made Yu Ji very irritated, and he shouted with grief and indignation: "Why are you so spoiled by me? Ever since your father became emperor, you and your mother have changed! You Every day I only know to work hard, I can't rest for a moment, I'm not even as good as a prince before, so what's the point of living like this!"

Tianhedi raised his palm violently, wanting to hit the eldest prince in the face, but finally stopped just an inch away from his face.When Yu Zhi who was on the side saw this scene, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes, and soon disappeared.

It is not a good subordinate to fail to give the boss under the steps in time. Chu Ci sees the needle, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "The Holy Majesty calms down, I feel that this matter is a bit strange, maybe His Royal Highness really doesn't know about it."

Following his words, Tianhe Emperor quickly withdrew his hand, clenched his fist against his mouth and coughed, "Why did Chu Aiqing say that?"

"Firstly, it is naturally because of the deep affection between the empress and His Royal Highness, and I expected that His Royal Highness would not embarrass the empress, so it is impossible for him to have someone trick me into the harem."

"Secondly, the guards guarding the gate were not there at the time, so someone must have transferred them away. Those who can send the imperial forest army are not taken lightly. If the eldest prince didn't go there in person, I thought, an ordinary little eunuch would even be in charge of the Cheng'an Palace." It is also impossible to transfer them away. But it is obviously impossible for His Highness the First Prince to summon them in person. Because this is enough to leave a clue for people to catch."

"Thirdly, they dealt with the aftermath too quickly. When the minister said this, His Royal Highness was sitting in the upper study. It should be impossible to take action in time to deal with the aftermath."

"According to what Chu Aiqing said, the eldest prince is not the one who framed you, and Xiao Linzi is not his one either?"

"That's not what I mean." Chu Ci shook his head, "Xiao Linzi was indeed sent by His Highness the First Prince, but unfortunately this is only on the surface. His real master must be someone else. His Highness must be the It's their plan."

This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. It can not only take the opportunity to get rid of Chu Ci, but also make the eldest prince bear the reputation of framing Zhongliang.It's a pity that they didn't dare to make it too obvious, so they only used Xiao Linzi.

Hearing Chuci's analysis, Tianhedi, who was in a rage just now, also recalled it.

"Chu Aiqing, in your opinion, how to find out who is behind this scene?"

"In my opinion, Xiao Linzi should be found first. The eunuch has no purpose and can't leave the palace without authorization, so this Xiao Linzi must still be hidden somewhere in the palace. As long as you find Xiao Linzi and question him, you will be able to Find the person behind the scenes. On the other hand, you need to ask the four guards guarding the entrance of the harem. They must have been ordered by someone to leave their posts without permission. As long as you follow the clues, the person behind the scene will definitely not escape the Holy One palm of your hand."

Chu Ci kept paying attention to the second prince's facial expression while speaking, especially when he mentioned the people behind the scenes.However, the attitude of His Highness the Second Prince remained the same without any fluctuations, as if he was just a theatergoer, and what happened here had nothing to do with him.

Is there anyone else?But, besides them, who else would frame him?The words of Chu are puzzling.
