Chapter 108 The Stinky Ditch in Prince Yu's Mansion
Ajiu was led by Xiao Yu and sat at the lower seat with Chu Xuanyi.
However, Ajiu had no appetite for those delicious-looking snacks. Her big eyes kept involuntarily moving back and forth between Prince Yu and the Queen Mother.
She saw that Uncle Prince Yu would pick up food for the Empress Dowager, talk to her, and tell her some interesting stories to make her happy.
Every time Uncle Prince Yu smiled, the gray mist on the big golden flower above the Empress Dowager's head would become a little thicker.
And those lazy little black bugs will become a little more active.
This discovery made Jiu feel very uncomfortable.
She quietly moved her little butt and leaned over to Chu Xuanyi, who was resting with his eyes closed and pretending to taste the wine, and whispered in his ear:
"grown ups……"
"Hmm?" Chu Xuanyi didn't open his eyes, but just responded softly in his throat.
Ah Jiu hesitated for a moment, "Sir, that Empress Dowager... there seem to be some black bugs on her head that belonged to Uncle Yu."
"Puff—cough cough cough!"
Chu Xuanyi didn't swallow a mouthful of wine and spat it out directly, choking him and causing him to cough violently.
The princes and ministers around him all cast concerned (gossipy) glances.
Xiao Yu also frowned and handed over a handkerchief.
Chu Xuanyi waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, but his handsome face was filled with shock and fear at this moment!
He didn't care about losing his manners. He turned his head sharply and stared at Ah Jiu, confirming every word he said: "Ah Jiu, what did you just say? Say it again!"
Ah Jiu was startled by his serious expression, but she still repeated in a low voice: "I said... there are black bugs on the head of the Empress Dowager, just like Uncle Yu, the Prince of Yu. Although there are very few, but... there really are some."
boom!
Chu Xuanyi felt as if a bomb was thrown into his brain!
He instantly understood what this meant!
King Yu!
This scheming and extremely vicious "Big Spider" actually...even didn't let go of the Queen Mother who had always been partial to him!
He actually dared to attack the Queen Mother!
Chu Xuanyi's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He looked at Prince Yu, who was still caring about the Queen Mother with a gentle smile, and felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The palace banquet ended in a strange atmosphere.
Back in the carriage at the Prince Regent's Palace, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost depressing.
"Xuan Yi, what happened to you just now?" Xiao Yu spoke first.
Chu Xuanyi let out a long breath, "Your Highness, please forgive my loss of composure. It's just... Jiu's discovery is truly... appalling."
"The Queen Mother...is controlled by him."
"What? Queen Mother?" Xiao Yu's pupils shrank suddenly.
"He took advantage of the Queen Mother's guilt over her deceased sister and the love she had shown him since childhood! The Queen Mother herself probably had no idea and only felt that she was doting on her nephew more and more."
"If we produce evidence, the Queen Mother will only see us, her sons, as jealous and framing her poor nephew! If we force our way out, she'll even protect him at all costs!"
Xiao Yu almost gritted his teeth when he finished speaking. He looked at the street scene rapidly receding outside the car window, his eyes full of frost.
"What a great Prince Yu! What a way to kill people without shedding blood!"
Inside the carriage, Ajiu sat quietly in the corner, her little hands tightly grasping Xiao Yu's clothes.
"We can't wait any longer." Xiao Yu said coldly.
"If we wait any longer, the entire palace will become his puppet farm."
"But Your Highness, we still have no evidence." Chu Xuanyi looked troubled. "Prince Yu is a meticulous person, and his actions are flawless. It would be extremely difficult to find evidence against him. Moreover, the Queen Mother..."
"Evidence can be found, and the tail can be dug up." Xiao Yu's tone was firm, "Tomorrow, I will personally go to Prince Yu's Mansion."
"What?" Chu Xuanyi was shocked. "Your Highness, this is too risky! Going there now would be telling him openly that we've begun to suspect him!"
"I have to let him know." Xiao Yu sneered, "I want to show him a warning. The more he thinks he's hiding well, the more I will show up in front of him. He has something to hide, and he's bound to reveal his flaws."
He paused and looked at Chu Xuanyi: "Besides, my going there is just a facade. The ones who really took action are you and Ah Jiu."
Chu Xuanyi immediately understood Xiao Yu's plan: "Your Highness wants to... make a feint to the east and attack in the west?"
"That's right." Xiao Yu nodded. "I'll attract his full attention in the open, and you'll be in the dark, letting me see through the underwear of his palace!"
"Sir, Xiong Xiong, Jiu can do it!" Jiu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly raised his little head. "Jiu's eyes are the most powerful! No matter where his stinking ditch is hidden, Jiu can find it!"
Looking at the little girl's "I'm so brave" expression, the heaviest stone in Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi's hearts seemed to loosen a little.
Yes, they have Ah Jiu.
The next day, early morning.
In front of Prince Yu’s Mansion, there was a lot of traffic and a peaceful atmosphere.
When the black and gold phoenix carriage of Regent Prince Xiao Yu, which symbolized supreme power, stopped in front of the palace gate, all the servants in Prince Yu's palace felt the air freeze instantly.
His Royal Highness the Regent...why did you suddenly come?
Prince Yu Xiao Jing came out to greet them personally, still looking gentle and harmless.
"Oh! Why are you here, cousin? You didn't even inform me in advance so that I could have made the bed ready to welcome you!" He stepped forward quickly and saluted warmly.
"No need to be so polite." Xiao Yu's voice was light. "I was passing by today and remembered that I had some military affairs regarding the garrison in the northwest that I needed to discuss with you, so I stopped by."
"Military affairs?" Xiao Jing was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Cousin, you really embarrassed me. I am just an idle prince, how can I understand military and national affairs. But since you are here, let's chat in the study."
Xiao Yu stepped in, his eyes seemingly casually sweeping over the pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water of the palace.
The layout of Prince Yu's Mansion, like the temperament of its owner, is elegant and scholarly everywhere, and everything seems just right.
At the same time, on the top floor of a tall restaurant a few streets away from Prince Yu's Mansion.
Chu Xuanyi was standing by the railing. On the table in front of him was an antique bronze mirror. However, the mirror did not reflect any scene at the moment, but a chaotic mist.
Ajiu sat next to him, his small body leaning on the railing.
"Ajiu, are you ready?" Chu Xuanyi asked softly.
"Ready!" Jiu nodded vigorously.
"Okay." Chu Xuanyi took a deep breath, made a hand seal with both hands, and pointed a finger at the bronze mirror. "Open your clairvoyance! Use the mirror as a medium, and travel through the universe. Go!"
Buzz——
The bronze mirror made a slight humming sound.
Ajiu only felt that his body suddenly became very light, and he jumped from the restaurant and flew high into the sky.
The entire capital city is clearly visible to her eyes.
