A day passed. The matter of Sang Woruo's disappearance continued to grow stronger.

On the palace wall in the night, the cold wind blew very tightly. Crown’s Master, Xu Chang, accompanied by the emperor, stood on the palace wall as they listened to the cold wind whistle past their ears.

"To the King's Couch?" Chu Zhe sighed, he did not want to go back to the King's bed!

The son he just found wasn't willing to return to his clan, nor did Cheng Wan's daughter, Xu Rouzhi, return. Cheng Wan's heart was already heartbroken to the extreme, and right now, his heart was also in turmoil, so she really wanted to avoid Cheng Wan for a while.

"It has already been a day, so Madam Sang should not be able to find it. Who exactly do you think she has fallen into? "

"Your Majesty, are you really doubting the crown prince?"

Chu Zhe frowned: "Until now, don't tell me all of the evidence isn't pointed at him? the person who is most likely to kidnap Madam Sang, isn't that him? "

Xu Chang immediately took a step forward, lifted his robe, and knelt down.

Chu Zhe was confused: "What are you doing?"

Xu Chang lowered his head and said: "This matter concerns Your Highness the crown prince and Princess Qi, one is this old subject's student and the other is this old subject's daughter.

Chu Zhe was silent for a moment, then slowly stepped forward, extending his hand to support Xu Chang. "We have been friends for many years now, and we have come to talk to you in our capacity as monarchs, not to mention as your Crown’s Master and its father-in-law. So, if you have any ideas, you can freely speak out. "

Xu Chang looked down in thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at Chu Zhe: "If this old subject speaks bluntly, His Majesty will not blame this old man?"

Chu Zhe nodded: "Just say it directly."

Xu Chang was silent for a moment, then said: "In these few years that His Highness has been in charge of the Eastern Palace, His Highness is well aware of his actions. Does His Highness really believe that His Highness will do something to seduce his sister-in-law?"

Chu Zhe frowned, and said unhappily: "Of course not!"

Xu Chang continued: "But Your Highness might think that His Highness had kept it a secret for too long and lied to Your Highness?"

When her words stabbed into Chu Zhe's sore spot, her heart involuntarily tensed up. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Xu Chang said: "Maybe there is that possibility, but this old subject is still here, how could I allow that to happen?"

Chu Zhe looked at Xu Chang and fell silent.

Xu Chang continued, "His Majesty valued this old subject, and this old subject was ordered to comply with Your Highness's orders for many years, to give him the authority to rule the country, to supervise his actions and to use all his strength. I was deeply afraid that I would betray Your Majesty's trust and not slack off in the slightest. His Highness the Crown Prince was good and honest, and was rather obedient to this old subject's words, always requesting of him that he be the king and act the part of the king. Although the Crown Prince had treated the Prince Qi wrongly, but in other ways, nothing dishonorable had happened. Moreover, the Crown Prince and his daughter have never interacted with each other. In addition, the Eastern Palace and the Prince Qi Palace are both connected to different places, and the two of them are always under the watch of everyone, with servants and servants following them from all over. How could they have the chance to do such a thing, lose their own reputation, and ruin their own future prospects? "

Chu Zhe frowned silently as he listened to Xu Chang's long and detailed explanation. He did not express any sort of opinion.

Xu Chang could only kowtow once again, "Please clear this time, Your Majesty."

Chu Zhe said slowly, "Trust me, it seems that you trust Zhao'er quite a bit!"

"Trust" was Xu Chang's word. Currently, Xu Chang himself was over fifty years old, and his parents were no longer around. It had been a long time since he had heard of the word "Trust"!

Hearing these two words coming out of Chu Zhe's mouth at this moment, was actually still as intimate as ever, and was exactly the same as in the past.

In the past, he had a close relationship with Chu Zhe, and their relationship was deep. Chu Zhe had a lot of trust and respect towards him, but he did not disappoint the trust that Chu Zhe had in him, and with great foresight, he helped Chu Zhe get rid of all the obstacles and ascend to the throne. During those times, Chu Zhe had always called him by his name, and his title seemed to represent the attitude Chu Zhe had towards him.

Now, the title that Chen Feng had given for many years had returned? Chu Zhe still told him to believe it?

Xu Chang lowered his head, and spoke in a solemn voice: "I believe that Your Highness understands his character, and will trust Your Highness as if you were your majesty."

Chu Zhe once again extended his hand to help Xu Chang up, and sighed: "Zhao'er was raised by us, so how can we not understand what kind of person he is?"

"So His Majesty still believes in His Highness the Crown Prince!" This old official is worried for nothing. "

"That's not true." Chu Zhe said, "But seeing you being so loyal to Zhao'er, we are also very pleased. It is Zhao'er's fortune to be able to trust you as my master, and also the fortune of my Dongluo. "

"Your Majesty, you flatter me. This old man dares not disrespect you!" Xu Chang raised his head and looked at Chu Zhe, "However, from Your Majesty's words, you suspect that someone is behind this matter?"

"Do you think that's possible?" Chu Zhe asked.

Xu Chang lowered his eyes, "For such a major matter, this old subject does not dare to second things."

Chu Zhe stared at Xu Chang, and asked: "Do you think that the Sanlang still has more villains behind them, and is secretly playing tricks on them?"

Xu Chang was startled, and raised his head. His Majesty suspects His Majesty the Prince Qi? "

"Do you think it's possible?"

"This …"

"Whatever you want to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, based on the incident in the grove of poplars where Rou Zhiqiang saved His Highness the crown prince, you think that the Prince Qi was the culprit behind this? His Majesty thought that Rou Zhi had saved the crown prince, so the Prince Qi was unhappy, and wanted to vent his anger on his? "

Chu Zhe frowned: "Is that kind of person in Sanlang?"

"This old official feels that the four princes nowadays are the same as His Majesty, possessing a benevolent heart. This is also the reason why the four princes have been getting along so well over the years. Especially since the Prince Qi has always been weak and sickly, with a calm personality, he … How could you do such a thing? "

"You don't have to speak up for them. Trust them." Chu Zhe interrupted Xu Chang somewhat impatiently, "If you are going to say it directly, even if your words are not pleasant to listen to, we won't blame you. I'm still quite clear on the nature of these four princes of mine. "

"Although Rou Zhi has married into the Prince Qi's Palace for two years and did not receive the favor of the Prince Qi's Highness, the Prince Qi's Highness …"

"Alright." Chu Zhe raised his hand and interrupted Xu Chang's words, "There's no need to speak further if you are going to defend me, I only want to hear the truth."

"This …"

"Has there been any news from Ruoshi?" Chu Zhe changed the topic and asked.

Xu Chang shook his head silently: "I have also sent people to look for him, but there has been no news from beginning to end."

Chu Zhe frowned: "If she left, why didn't the Forbidden Army s that were guarding the Prince Qi Palace see his that day? But to say that she was still in Prince Qi Palace, that shouldn't be the case! We still have left a portion of the Forbidden Army s to search the Prince Qi Palace, but we did not find any traces of his. "

Xu Chang said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, for you to value your daughter so highly has moved me. Your majesty is worried about me. "

Chu Zhe slowly turned his head: "I heard that two mysterious people had entered the Xu Mansion the night before. Are they endangering the safety of the Xu Mansion?"

Was she suspecting him?

Xu Chang remained calm and replied softly: "They are not mysterious people, but the two martial artists that this old official sought out to find Soft End. "However, they are asking for too much, and this old official feels that they don't have a certain level of confidence. Thus, I still have to send them off."

"Oh!" Chu Zhe nodded his head, "If I can find her using the power of the martial arts world, it would be a good idea. Maybe those martial artists could do what the Forbidden Army could not. How about this! With both of us working together, I will send someone to find her. You have to find a way as well and see if you can find her as soon as possible. Once you find the soft end, everything will be revealed! "

"Yes, this old official will do his best to find her as soon as possible."

Chu Zhe nodded and sighed, "Let's go back! As for the Eastern Palace, you don't need to bother about him. I too would like to see how he will react and handle the situation after what has happened. "

"Yes, this old official will obey."

After sending Xu Chang off with his gaze, Chu Zhe descended from the palace wall.

In the shadows under the lanterns in front, a petite and slender figure was standing still. Cheng Wan?

Chu Zhe was startled, he quickly walked down and held Cheng Wan's hand, "Qing`er, what are you doing here in such a cold day?"

Under the orange-red lantern light, Cheng Wan's eyes seemed to flicker with tears. "Qing`er is here to fetch His Majesty back to the palace to sleep."

Chu Zhe quietly embraced Cheng Wan's shoulders, "Alright, let's go!"

Crown’s Master Xu Mansion.

Deep into the night, Xu Rouzhi's room was still brightly lit, and there were occasionally shadows of people passing by the windows. It was Bi Su, who was busy preparing tea for Qi Yu to eat.

Xu Chang appeared at the door. This sudden visit caused Bi Su to be shocked.

"Yo, Lord Father still hasn't slept at such a late hour?" Qi Yu held onto the soup bowl and looked at her father.

"He's eating again?" Xu Chang did not answer his question, "If you eat like this day and night, you might get fatter and lose your shape."

"I've only eaten five meals a day, and my father already feels heartache?" Qi Yu curled her lips.

"I don't feel bad." Xu Chang slowly pulled up his robes and sat down by the side. The Uncle Du behind him waved to the followers behind him, and everyone followed him and left.

Seeing that, Bi Su also silently went out.

"Is there any confidential information?" Qi Yu blinked her eyes.

"Tonight, I entered the palace."

"What did he say?"

Xu Chang looked at Qi Yu silently: "If you want to save your husband, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Why?" Qi Yu was on guard, the old man was going to go back on her words?

Xu Chang said: "Listening to the tone of the emperor, he believes in the crown prince more. Maybe he felt that the Prince Qi was brooding over the matter of saving the crown prince in Yang Lin, and planned this to ruin your reputation so he could vent his anger. "

"It can't be?" Qi Yu immediately stood up, f * ck, is this emperor really going to be my father's man? He actually didn't know what kind of person Chu Yixuan was, and actually thought that Chu Yixuan would do such a despicable thing?

So, Chu Zhe was actually still biased towards Chu Yizhao, right? No matter what happened, he was willing to exclude Chu Yizhao?

And in order to solve the problem, he had to find someone to go through the motions, would he be willing to throw Chu Yixuan out?

When he thought about how Chu Yixuan had actually sent a large number of Forbidden Army s to guard the Prince Qi Palace after he was injured and how he was supposed to protect the safety of the Prince Qi s, but in reality, he was monitoring the actions of the Prince Qi s.

Was a father really that biased? Was Chu Yixuan not pitiful enough? He had been taking medicine since he was young, and his bones were about to become crippled. Not only did his father not feel any pain, he actually still suspected his son?

In this matter, Chu Yixuan is clearly a victim, alright? Why did he think that Chu Yixuan was the one plotting this, why did he not f * cking suspect that bastard Xin Wang?
