Chu Li glanced at him and told him the real matter: "There is something wrong with the Second Prince."
"oh?"
Chu Dichi put his arm around her neck, half of his body lazily pressing on her, "What's the problem?"
"Just now at the palace banquet, he strongly recommended Prince Xian to ascend the throne and asked for it to happen within seven days, the sooner the better. Isn't that too hasty?"
When you are anxious, you will forget your disguise and expose yourself.
He chuckled, "Indeed."
Holding her in his arms, he walked into Prince Xian's palace. When Master Jiang saw the two of them hugging each other and talking about something, his eyes widened.
The morals of the world are going downhill, men and women... men and women should not touch each other?
Push the door open and go in.
"How is the idle king?"
Bai Jinyi sat in front of the bed, looked back and shook his head.
"Jingying, continue to block the news about Prince Xian. No news about Prince Xian's movements can leak out in the next seven days."
"yes."
"Chongfeng, you must immediately bring your men to conduct a thorough investigation of the Second Prince's movements over the past half month, as well as all those who have had close contact with him. It is better to kill the wrong person than to let go of any suspicious person."
"yes!"
Now that the right direction has been found, King Xian may be saved.
Chu Li had been nervous for three days, and finally he felt a little relieved. Next, he just had to wait for news.
On the first day, Chu Dichi ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the regulations and the embroidery workshop to prepare the dragon robe, and began to arrange the enthronement.
The next day, he ordered people to rebuild the Hall of Mental Cultivation and begin repairing the new emperor's mausoleum.
Day 3…
During this period, Prince Xian did not attend court and never showed up in public.
All the officials were preparing to welcome the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne without any suspicion, but the second prince was the only one who knew the secret.
This is just superficial peace.
Maybe the Prince of Xian is already dead, but the Regent doesn't dare to announce it.
Then let him drag it.
The longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for him. By then, it would not be a bad idea to accuse him of murdering the new emperor.
During this period, Concubine Xin came several times, but was sent away with excuses every time.
The first two times were fine, but gradually I became suspicious.
When she was stopped by the shocking figure, she pretended to leave, then quickly made a feint and looked inside. She saw a lotus-colored dress passing by and the woman's profile was as delicate as a painting, which made her stunned in place for a moment.
That is...
Ninth Prince?
impossible!
How could the Ninth Prince be a woman?
Just as she wanted to take a closer look, Jingying took a step forward and blocked her view: "Empress Xin, the Regent is here. When the official duties are finished, His Royal Highness Prince Xian will come to visit you."
Concubine Xin hesitated to leave, but the quick glance just now remained in her mind for a long time.
Return to the harem.
Seeing Concubine Wen and three concubines sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun and playing mahjong, he strode over:
"Sister Wen, I think I saw the Ninth Prince."
Concubine Wen touched a card and sighed, "I see my son every night."
"No, I just saw it in my son's palace."
Concubine Wen frowned: "This child, is he more concerned about Prince Xian than me, his mother? He would rather visit Prince Xian than to send me a dream, but I seem to remember that Prince Xian seems to be afraid of ghosts?"
"Sister Xin, I won't fight anymore. I have to go burn some paper money for my son."
Xin Fei stretched out her hand: "Hey..."
Just leave like that?
She was telling the truth.
Why don’t you believe it?
Could it be that she saw it wrong?
Day 4, Day 5…
Day 7 – The day when the new emperor ascends the throne.
Looking at Chu Aotian who was still unconscious on the bed, Chu Li overturned the table and smashed the tea set on the floor.
"Why is there no progress yet?!"
Chong Feng lowered his head: "Miss Xie, the Second Prince is sitting still and we don't know where to start. There are too many people who have come into contact with him. We are investigating..."
It’s been seven days!
"He wants to sit back and wait and see, but I don't believe there is an airtight wall in the world!"
Chu Li flicked his wrist, holding the soft sword, and walked out.
Outside the door, Chu Dichi walked in:
"What do you want to do? At this time, all the civil and military officials have gathered in the Dacheng Hall, waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne."
"The Second Prince is not at home, so I will cut off the source of the trouble and raid his lair!"
"Chongfeng, follow me."
Chu Di walked slowly to the bedside, looking at the silent Chu Aotian with dark eyes.
Your aunt and I have been so worried about you!
Something that is not promising.
After a while, a eunuch came to say, "Your Excellency the Regent, all officials have arrived at the Dacheng Hall to welcome the new emperor."
"Let them wait!"
"This is."
How dare the eunuch say anything? When the news was brought back to the Dacheng Hall, all the civil and military officials were in an uproar:
"What?"
"We are almost past the auspicious time. Why hasn't the new emperor arrived yet?"
"What the hell is going on?"
What else could be going on?
The King of Idleness must be dead.
The Regent cannot conjure up an idle king out of thin air, and now he is under fire with no way out, so naturally he dare not come.
The second prince curled his lips, stopped pretending, and said loudly:
"Since the regent returned to the capital, Prince Xian has not attended court once. Could it be...something has happened?"
At this moment, outside the palace, a man walked over:
"Second Prince is so sure that something has happened to Prince Xian, what is the basis for this?"
