"This is a long story." Yu Jiujiu kept the story short and introduced the situation of the palace banquet last night.
Pei Shuyan frowned when he heard this.
This Concubine Chu is really non-stop.
"By the way, Brother Imperial Master, what were you doing last night? The attendant said you came back very late and just got up just now. Is there something wrong?" Yu Jiujiu asked again.
"I have some matters to deal with outside the palace."
Pei Shuyan ate slowly and spoke slowly, "A letter came from Tianyan Sect, saying that a disciple who rebelled against the sect was found in the capital recently.
"You two must also know what our Tianyan Sect does.
"This traitorous disciple, relying on his proficiency in this art, spread rumors in the capital, saying that the purple energy is about to fly away, and there will be another severe drought in the next three years. Only by taking precautions and imprisoning the purple energy can we make profits.
Avoid harm and let the next three years continue to be smooth."
When Yu Jiujiu heard this, his face changed slightly.
You can easily tell what this means as soon as you hear it.
Purple air, soaring clouds, and three years of severe drought.
Just don't make it too obvious.
"This clearly means that the little purple dragon will leave one day. Only by killing the little purple dragon and forcibly imprisoning its dragon body can this purple fortune be preserved and the Great Xia Congress continue to be prosperous."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Yu Jiu Jiu's lips, "Last night Chu Mian suddenly attacked little A Yuan, I thought she had lost her mind and gone crazy.
"Today, combined with this rumor, I have to make some malicious speculations. Could this rumor just come from Chu Mian?"
Pei Shuyan slowly swallowed the last mouthful of porridge.
Then, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped his lips while saying with certainty: "That's it. The little princess's guess is very reasonable."
He put down the veil, rinsed his mouth again, and continued, "After I received the secret letter from the sect, I have been secretly investigating for the past few days, and finally discovered the traces of this traitorous disciple. Last night, I set up a trap
The trap caught him.
"Then, I found Long Wuwei's waistband from him."
Having said this, Pei Shuyan's pretty features moved his eyes to Yu Jiujiu again.
Last time, Grandma Bingyan was here and told Yu Jiujiu everything. She did not avoid Pei Shuyan, so Pei Shuyan also knew everything.
If in the past, he found out that this was Long Wuwei's waist card, he would have wondered whether Empress Dowager Yin secretly sent someone to harm Yu Jiu Jiu.
But now, he has determined without any doubt that this is definitely Chu Mian's handiwork.
At this time, only Chu Hanchen asked in confusion: "But isn't Long Wuwei in the hands of Queen Mother Yin? Didn't she say that she loves the little princess very much? How could she send someone to spread such a rumor?"
"Doctor Chu, you still don't know that when the emperor's grandmother accompanied me to the Jiang family to listen to a play, on the way back to the palace, a group of Longwu guards intercepted and killed the emperor's grandmother and I." Yu Jiujiu looked at Chu Hanchen and said.
"Well, isn't there just one Long Wu Guard? Is there another one that is the enemy of the Queen Mother?" Chu Hanchen couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed, this other Longwu Guard is in the hands of Chu Mian." Yu Jiujiu said with certainty.
She wanted to explain it to Chu Hanchen properly.
But it involves royal secrets, so now is not a good time to talk about it.
So Yu Jiujiu vaguely mentioned that it was the late emperor's handiwork, and Chu Hanchen understood immediately.
It goes without saying how much the late emperor loved Chu Mian.
"Could it be that those black-clad thugs who intercepted and killed us in the suburbs of Beijing were actually the Dragon Guards in Chu Mian's hands?" At this time, Chu Hanchen suddenly thought of something and immediately asked speculatively.
"It's very possible." Yu Jiujiu nodded, "Long Wuwei is well-trained, and they have the ability to disguise a targeted interception as a mob attack afterwards, and turn the attack into a
An unsolved case that remains unsolved.
"If they were not Long Wuwei, but just hired thugs and thugs, how could they have remained invisible for so many years in the government's pursuit, with no trace at all?
"Only the professional Long Wuwei can do it."
When Yu Jiujiu said this, Chu Hanchen was even more certain.
"So, this Long Wuwei who is spreading rumors in the capital is from Chu Mian. She wants to use the rumors to deal with you. Although the weather is going well now, the people still have deep feelings about the drought in the past three years.
I'm afraid, once these rumors take shape, there will definitely be people who are instigated and ask the emperor to kill Xiao Zijiao, and there will be more and more people like this."
Chu Hanchen couldn't help but analyze, "At that time, in order to protect the little purple dragon, the little princess will definitely conflict with these people, and even create a rift with the emperor."
As he said that, he couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic look in his eyes, "As expected of Chu Mian, her schemes are always so vicious and so calculating."
"indeed so."
Pei Shuyan listened and nodded, "But fortunately it was discovered early. Now these rumors are just creating momentum. I have ordered people to pay attention at all times. Once I find someone spreading rumors, I will immediately imprison him in Jingzhao Mansion. In addition, this defecting disciple has been arrested."
Once caught, it will be difficult for rumors to spread.
"Although Chu Mian is a good strategist, we are not useless trash.
"What's more, her previous attempt to use Xiao Zijiao to respond to these rumors has failed."
Pei Shuyan's words further confirmed that Chu Mian's attempt to capture Little Zijiao last night was not just a whim, but had been planned for a long time.
It's just that Chu Mian is still too arrogant.
As long as she understood what Pei Shuyan said at the beginning, that Xiao Zijiao was only close to his master and was easily irritable when dealing with strangers, she would not have been burned by Xiao Zijiao's dragon flame.
"Back then, little A-Yuan dared to burn the regent's beard! This Chu Mian, relying on her father's gratitude to her and not having the authority of the regent, dared to provoke little purple dragon. She really deserves it!"
Thinking that Chu Mian actually wanted to attack Xiao Zijiao, Yu Jiujiu couldn't help but said angrily.
"Fortunately, we have now figured out her intentions. Little princess, what are you going to do next? Do you still want to tolerate her?" Chu Hanchen couldn't help but ask.
"Could Divine Doctor Chu be worried too?" Yu Jiujiu couldn't help but ask.
"Not really, it's just that she dared to attack Xiao Zijiao last night, and maybe she will dare to attack you tomorrow. Chu Mian is very thoughtful and vicious, and she is extremely vindictive. She suffered such a big loss from you last night.
I'm afraid I won't let it go." There was a hint of worry in Chu Hanchen's words.
"It's okay, I'm just waiting for her to give up on me and wait for her to take action against me. If she doesn't reach out, how can I find out her true face?" Yu Jiujiu's milky white face looked confident.
