Emperor Xuan remained silent for a long time. There was deathly silence in the Yangxin Hall. Geng Jing's back was soaked with cold sweat. Father-in-law Quan also lowered his head, not daring to breathe. Only Ning Chen looked up from time to time to look at Emperor Xuan...because he had an injury on his leg and it was too painful to kneel down, hoping that Emperor Xuan would let him get up. When Ning Chen raised his head to peek for the unknown number of times, Emperor Xuan also happened to look at him. Their eyes met, Ning Chen smiled awkwardly. The muscles in the corners of Emperor Xuan's eyes twitched slightly, "Get up!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ning Chen stood up and sat down on the stool, and said with a silly smile: "Your Majesty, actually you don't need to be too angry...whose family doesn't have a few unlucky children?"
Geng Jing and Eunuch Quan trembled in their hearts... What are these words? Is the prince comparable to other children? Emperor Xuan sighed deeply, and his expression softened a lot. He rubbed his brows a little irritably. "If this is really what the prince did...then I should look at him with admiration?" Suddenly, Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "Geng Jing listens to the order." "I'm here!" "I order you to lead people immediately to search the palace." "My lord, take the order!" Ning Chen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to cooperate with Lord Geng." "Just be patient, I have something else to ask you." Geng Jing glanced at Ning Chen and then retreated. Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "Ning Chen, I ask you, do you believe what Di Shan said?" Ning Chen said with a serious face: "My lord, I am half convinced." "Um?" Ning Chen said: "The prince is the crown prince of Daxuan. I don't believe that he is such a person until there is conclusive evidence." Emperor Xuan murmured in a low voice: "Prince Daxuan? But if the second prince is alive, he..." Ning Chen didn't hear the rest of the words clearly. But one can guess that Emperor Xuan meant that if the second prince were alive, the position of heir apparent would not fall to the prince.
Emperor Xuan sighed deeply, looking a little tired, "Ning Chen, do you think I failed?" Ning Chen shook his head, "I sincerely think that His Majesty is a good emperor... How many emperors have there been from ancient times to the present who know people well and make good use of them, who are close to loyal ministers but far from treacherous and sycophants? Your Majesty is a wise emperor through the ages." Father-in-law Quan glanced at him sideways and thought to himself, I don't even have to take pictures of this flattery that you asked me to take. Emperor Xuan smiled bitterly, "Mingjun? What I want is peace in Daxuan, people living and working in peace and contentment, brotherly friends and respectful brothers, and family harmony, but it seems that I haven't achieved any of them." "Ning Chen, do you think I am too greedy?" Ning Chen shook his head, "What your Majesty wants is what the people of the world want, and it complies with the people's wishes... It's just that some people are unwilling to live in peace and contentment. These are not your Majesty's fault." Emperor Xuan was indeed a good emperor, kind, hard-working, and very capable...but his shortcomings were also obvious, that is, he was not decisive enough in his killings. To put it bluntly, he was not ruthless enough! Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth! Emperor Xuan holds the power of life and death in the world, but he cares too much about family ties and sometimes feeds tigers into trouble. It can be seen from his reaction just now that His Majesty probably knew that King Fu had a problem, but he never touched King Fu. Emperor Xuan sighed slightly and said, "Ning Chen, are you willing to help me find out about the prince?" "I obey your Majesty!" Emperor Xuan was silent for a while, and then he said, "Ning Chen, let me get to the bottom of this." "My lord, I obey the order!" Emperor Xuan still didn't quite believe that the prince, who had always been honest and honest, would do such a thing as murdering his own brother? Ning Chen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Di Shan also revealed a piece of news." "what news?" "The left prime minister may have fled to Fuzhou." "Juzhou?" Emperor Xuan thought for a moment, "I immediately issued an order to have the governor of Juzhou start an investigation and find this person out." Ning Chen shook his head, "Your Majesty! What I'm worried about now is that the officials in Fuzhou are from the left prime minister... Let them investigate, but they will alert the enemy." Emperor Xuan nodded, feeling that what Ning Chen said made sense. "Do you have any idea?" Ning Chen said: "I think we can send someone secretly to Fuzhou to find out the news... It will not be too late to take action after we are sure that the left prime minister is indeed in Fuzhou." Emperor Xuan nodded, "I will do as you say. Discuss this matter with Geng Jing and send someone to Fuzhou secretly." "My lord, I obey the order!" Emperor Xuan rubbed his brows irritably, "Ning Chen, it's late at night, and I'm a little tired... You go down first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do." "Yes, I resign!" "Ning Chen, do you want your injury to be checked by an imperial doctor?"
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. The medical skills of the Sixth Division of the Supervision Department are also very good." Emperor Xuan nodded slightly and waved his hand. Ning Chen retreated. Emperor Xuan sighed softly: "Quansheng, I really didn't expect that he would still reach this point?" "Didn't I give him enough? Before his death, my father held my hand and asked me to treat them well... I have always done this, but why are they not satisfied?" Grandpa Quan lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. In fact, he was like a mirror in his heart. Emperor Xuan sat blankly for a while! Suddenly, he spoke: "Quansheng, prepare the decree!" Quan Sheng hurriedly said: "Yes!" Not long after, two imperial edicts were drawn up. Emperor Xuan looked at the two imperial edicts, his eyes gradually becoming firm, and said: "Quansheng, these two imperial edicts are secretly sent out of the palace. One is for Old General Chen. The other is for Ning Chen." "Slave obeys the order!" Eunuch Quan immediately went to make arrangements, and the two imperial edicts were secretly sent out of the palace. "Your Majesty, the imperial edict has been sent out." Eunuch Quan came back to report. Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "Quansheng, you and Nie Liang, accompany me to see Prince Fu!" Getting up and walking to the door, Emperor Xuan suddenly stopped and turned back to order: "Quansheng, go and get two Jade Dew Pills presented to me by the fifth prince." Jade Dew Pills, produced in Xiliang Kingdom, can cure all kinds of poisons! ...... At this time in Furong Palace. The queen burned the paper in her hand to ashes, her face was pale, and her big face was terrified. Although she was under house arrest, she had been operating in the palace for so long after all? The news could still be passed in. Just received the news that the death warriors she trained were all wiped out. Di Shan was arrested. And Geng Jing and Ning Chen entered the palace overnight. She had a bad premonition, always felt that a disaster was coming, and she was restless at this time. At the same time, a young eunuch slipped a small note into Prince Fu's detoxification room through the crack of the door. Prince Fu has been staying in the palace to quit drugs recently.
But he didn't take the magic powder at all, and he pretended to have drug addiction every day. Prince Fu received the small note and opened it to see: Di Shan was arrested, Geng Jing and Ning Chen entered the palace late at night, and Geng Jing left first. Prince Fu's face suddenly became panic. He paced back and forth in the room in panic. Di Shan was arrested, Ning Chen and Geng Jing entered the palace late at night to meet the emperor. They must have found something? Otherwise, they would not enter the palace at night and disturb His Majesty! The King of Medicine was hiding in his house, but Di Shan sent someone to escort him. Prince Fu suddenly stopped and his eyes became sinister. He walked to the candle, burned the small note, blew out the candle, took it down, walked to the bed, and first used the jade hairpin on his head to poke a small hole at the top of the candle. Then, he tore open the corner of his clothes, took out a piece of wood the size of a fingernail, crushed it, poured it into the small hole poked by the jade hairpin on the candle, and took a little runny wax to plug the small hole and smooth it out. After doing all this, he inserted the candle into the candlestick and returned it to its original position. Prince Fu looked at the tampered candle with a sinister look. "Your Majesty is here!" At this moment, the shrill voice of Eunuch Quan came from outside, causing Prince Fu to tremble suddenly and his face to turn pale.
