”Teacher, what should I do?” Zhu Youtang felt unease in his heart, but it was as if he was imprisoned in a dark night and he could not find a way out.
Former Empress Wu didn't speak at this time, but the expressions on his face showed that Zhu Youtang was capable of doing so. You already know in your heart that you have a solution. It's too late today. I should also be going back now. ”
September 18th, the first seven disciples of Ji Shufei passed. Zhu Youtang no longer had to be filial to the Ji Shufei, whether or not the national and family laws were the same, they were also far apart. Zhu Youtang was the crown prince of a country, so he represented the country's laws. According to the law of the land, even if the emperor mourned for the late emperor, it would still be a day for a month.
Zhu Youtang's intention was clear, he wanted Cai He to help him find the spy in the Eastern Palace. Even if he didn't get rid of them, he should at least keep them by his side. If he had someone disloyal by his side, wouldn't he be placing his life in someone else's hands?
Zhu Youtang himself wasn't a reckless person, what's more, he was still brooding over the death of Ji Shufei. The Eastern Palace's purge was already imminent.
With the help of Empress Dowager Zhou or even the Shao Chen Fei, Zhu Youtang had been able to resolve the difficulties Wan had gone through in the past few years. But Consort Wan was getting more and more outrageous, and Zhu Jianshen still allowed him to do so. Now that Zhu Youtang had been hit on the head, his own royal father was truly an unreliable person.
If he really wanted it or wanted it, he could only rely on himself.
”My six sons and Shunzi are no longer serving in the inner hall. As for the four pears, the duck pear and chicken pear are reliable. It's just that Du Li was previously promoted out of the 24 yamen's houses. To date, I still do not know who was behind him. ”
Now that Zhu Youtang had leaked a secret to Cai He, it would be easier for him to look for it. Cai He herself wanted to get Zhu Youtang to use him heavily, so she naturally had to do this kind of thing even more wholeheartedly.
”The servant will definitely find out what kind of power Du Li and the avocado belongs to. This matter will come to light. ” When Zhu Youtang was in the Eastern Palace himself, he was accompanied by two people. One was the son that the Consort Wan had planted while the other was the sixth son that the Empress Dowager Zhou had planted.
The six of them were silent and were only responsible for listening to Zhu Youtang. Although he could not say it was perfunctory, Liu Zi still guaranteed that Zhu Youtang would not die, and did not care about the rest.
But it was different with Shunzi, as he had always coaxed Zhu Youtang, the master. However, because Former Empress Wu did not like Song Zi's trickiness, Zhu Youtang, who was implicated, could only arrange for Song Zi to stay far away.
After Zhu Youtang became the crown prince and studied some of the kings in front of the Tutor Ye, he finally started to understand why Song Zi and Liu Zi's attitudes were so weird. It was just that Zhu Youtang never thought of killing him!
But the situation now was different, the Consort Wan was afraid of him. And Zhu Youtang also knew from Former Empress Wu that she had underestimated her opponent, so everything that happened now was all her own fault. It was just that after implicating her own mother, Zhu Youtang already regretted it in her heart.
But if he regretted it, he could only think that making a ruckus in the Yao Guang Palace was already a probe by the Consort Wan. Now, Zhu Youtang did not dare to underestimate this evil woman. The Tutor Ye said that those who succeeded in doing so had to hide their strength.
”Your Highness, your servant has one thing that I don't know if I should tell you or not, it concerns my master before he died.” ”Your servant does not dare to speculate rashly, so I need you to make the decision.” Zhu Youtang saw that Cai Xiang did not seem to be lying, but he felt that this was probably a little unusual.
”Go ahead.” After clearing the room, he left Cai Xiang kneeling in front of him. Zhu Youtang wanted to know what exactly was related to his mother. His aunt, who would also make him wait on her, would be very careful.
”This servant used three months to investigate the Caiyue Sisters that were by the Empress's side before. Now, this servant finally has some clues.” So it turns out that a sister of the Inner Weaving Office had seen Caiyue in contact with the servants of the Yao Guang Palace. ”
Speaking of which, Cai Xiang herself was also overjoyed. She had gone through so much to find some clues. After all, if not for that sister's accidental words, the death of Ji Shufei would have been inconclusive.
”Aunty, you don't need to investigate this matter. Even if you do, other than causing you to be implicated, there won't be any results.” Zhu Youtang was very calm now, and this kind of calmness was already very unusual.
”Your Highness, are we going to give up like this?” Cai He was unwilling to accept this, his own sister was loyal and devoted, the Crown Prince had abandoned his sister like a pair of shoes just like that.
”Not to give up, but to lock the Caiyue sisters up. Even if we have to take revenge, the timing is not right. Everyone is afraid that the Consort Wan cannot protect you all with just me, the crown prince. ”
”Little sister, do you want His Highness to confess?” Indeed, Cai Xiang was more stable, ”It's all because the servants' eyes are shallow, and it's hard for them to serve Your Majesty with less knowledge.” After Cai Xiang finished speaking, she no longer asked Zhu Youtang what exactly he wanted to do.
”Right now, there are very few people around me who can use it. Aunt, you have always been very good to Understand. So amongst the two servants by mufei's side, Understand wants to entrust to aunt for protection. ” Without the protection of the imperial concubine, Cai He was mainly accompanied by eunuchs.
