Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 5
"Liu, Liu Bowen?" Zhu Zhen raised his brows when he heard the words, his eyes stared like copper bells: "Are you still called Liu Ji?!"

"That's right, this old man is Liu Ji." After the grandfather announced his family name, he seemed to have become a fairy, and he didn't know if it was a fan filter. "I have been teaching Your Highness for a whole year."

Although I didn't attend two classes...Liu Bowen silently added.

But the old man has worked hard and made great achievements, what happened to his old Zhu's family for a few years?
"Did the emperor ask His Highness to come down to look for the veteran?" Liu Bowen thought that Boss Zhu had always been stingy, and wondered if he didn't want to support idlers?

"Sir, you are too careless! I came to find you myself." Zhu Zhen felt that the idol filter was showing signs of being broken.

Is this suspicious old man, who seems to be suffering from paranoia of victimization, really Liu Bowen, the incarnation of justice and wisdom in the legend, who is as famous as Zhuge, with great calculations?
Why do you feel like a frightened bird that has been spoiled by the game?

"You came to find me yourself?" Liu Bowen looked Zhu Zhen up and down.After being 'ass-kicked' by Boss Zhu for half his life, it was hard for him not to wonder if Boss Zhu was playing with himself again.

"Yes, I want to ask something." Zhu Zhen said, walking to the window and looking out.Sure enough, he could look over the rockery and see the lotus pond.

"Your Highness wants to ask, did the old man see you fall into the water?" Liu Bowen understood.

"Yes." Zhu Zhenxin said, this IQ is right.

"Does Your Highness suspect that this matter is related to King Qi?" Liu Bowen asked again.

"That's right." Zhu Zhen nodded, looked back at Liu Bowen and said, "If you see something, sir, please tell me."

"Sorry, it was windy at that time, and the windows were not opened." Liu Bowen replied bluntly: "His Royal Highness has already come to ask, and the old minister answered in the same way."

"Sir, this is the leeward vent, there is no need to close the window." Zhu Zhen said.

"Prevent drafts." Liu Bowen said lightly.

"But once the window is closed, how do you read?" Zhu Zhen said, closing the window on tiptoe, and the room became dark immediately.

"It was lunch break time, I was taking a nap." Liu Bowen said without changing his face.

"There isn't even a bed here..." Zhu Zhen said helplessly.

"I sleep sitting up, lying down, or standing up, can His Highness control me?" Liu Bowen already felt that he was indeed not sent by Boss Zhu.The attitude became more and more perfunctory.

"Your Highness, you should ask others. The old minister's eyesight is dim, and it is difficult to read, let alone look outside."

"Sir Guigeng? You don't look very old." Zhu Zhen seemed to be still struggling in vain.

"You'll be 65 after the new year, isn't it old enough?" After speaking, Liu Bowen ignored him and immersed himself in the book.

"65 ah..." Zhu Zhen seemed to have thought of something, he said it twice silently, and stopped stalking him.

~~
At night, the cold stars are few and far between, and everything is silent.

"Bang, bang..." At the exact hour of Xuzheng, on Xiyi Long Street, the sound of bangs from the street cleaning army sounded.

The sound of the clapper can be clearly transmitted to Wan'an Palace.Hearing this signal, the eunuchs who had no errands hurried out of the palace.A moment later, the palace gate was locked and no one could come in or out.

Outside the Wan'an Palace, there are Jingjun patrolling.In the palace, the maids are on duty at night.

Mu Xiang is not the only one who is on duty at night in the palace.There are two gatekeepers at the gate, one outside the second gate and one outside the Nuange gate, each with their own responsibilities.If the empress is here, the number of maids on duty at night will be doubled.

The one who waits in the inner room is the head of the maids of Shangye, only the most favored confidants can do it, and they can even be promoted to female officials if they do well.No wonder Mu Xiang begged His Highness not to throw her out.

Zhu Zhen took a bath under the service of Mu Xiang and the others, then lay on the bed and asked Mu Xiang to dry his hair.

Mu Xiang first wrapped a strand of his hair with a cotton cloth, and gently rubbed it up and down to absorb the moisture as much as possible.

Then change to another piece of cotton and absorb the water from the other strand of hair.

Until all the hair has been sucked once, it is replaced with a hollow gilt ball filled with incense and charcoal fire, and dried thoroughly.

This is a technical job. If it is not done properly, it will burn the hair and even burn the scalp.But Mu Xiang's technique was so skillful that Zhu Zhen didn't feel hot at all, but just felt warm and comfortable.

Well, that's what makes sense... Zhu Zhen finally felt that this prince was not in vain.

But when he thought of his mother and concubine still suffering in the cold palace, he regained consciousness and silently reviewed today's harvest.

~~
The biggest gain, of course, is to lock down the suspect who pushed him into the water!

Liu Bowen helped him narrow down the scope to his own brothers.He still knows a lot about his brothers.

First of all, the brothers in front can be excluded.Because the youngest fifth brother is already fourteen, more than a head taller than him.

As for the younger brothers at the back, only the seventh and the eighth are studying in Dabentang.

Although the eighth child was born of Concubine Da Ding, he was only six years old, and had just entered Kaimeng for a few days.

Therefore, there is one and only Lao Qi who is half a year younger than him—Qi Wang Zhu Mi, who is also ten years old, who fits the characteristics of the perpetrator!

Moreover, his mother concubine beat his mother concubine, and he made himself avenge his mother concubine, and his motives made sense.

So what's the next step?Zhu Zhen scratched his head a little.

After the rest of the maids had retreated and Mu Xiang was the only one left by his side, he asked, "Is there any clue about what I asked you to inquire about?"

Although it feels that the concubine mother is unreliable, her confidants may not be reliable either.But Zhu Zhen has no one available right now, so he can only rely on Mu Xiang to collect information.

Mu Xiang first put the gilt ball back into the copper tray, and then said softly: "My servant has inquired. These days, the palace is indeed arresting spies. Those with questionable backgrounds and those who are not of my race are all taken away." The interrogation has gone. No one has come back yet.”

In fact, this incident caused panic in the palace, and Mu Xiang knew about it a long time ago.But she deliberately waited a day before reporting, because she didn't want to leave an impression on His Highness as a gossip who knows everything.

"Where's Changyang Palace, is it affected?" Zhu Zhen asked again.

"Of course, Da Shi is a Tartar. There was a period before that. How many innocent people in her palace?"

"I thought she was favored and powerful, and no one dared to investigate." Zhu Zhen said pleasantly.

"She is only in charge of the Sixth Palace for a while, and she will show her original shape as soon as the queen comes back." Mu Xiang looked at Zhu Zhen, as if seeing Boss Zhu's shadow, and said in a trembling voice: "Besides, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, who ate the bear?" A leopard with a heart that dares to cover up for selfishness?"

"Well, it makes sense." Zhu Zhen nodded, indeed, who in the palace would dare to fool Boss Zhu.

The intelligence investigation is almost done, and the next step is to formulate an action plan.

Zhu Zhen stopped talking and lay on the bed silently thinking.

Now there are two options, one is to go to the elder brother or the father to report the crime.

Although Liu Bowen didn't see anything and didn't find any other witnesses.

But Lao Qi, a mere ten-year-old fart kid, even intimidated and deceived, would definitely make him tell the truth.

But the question is, so what if the old seven moves?A tiger's poison does not eat its son, so it is impossible for the father to kill his ten-year-old son.It is even very likely that the major incident will be reduced to a minor one, so that Lao Qi will not be charged with murdering his brother!
The reason is very simple - he is still a child...how can a child have any bad intentions...

It is estimated that he will open his ass at most, and then be locked up for a period of time, right?

Maybe they will turn around and persuade themselves to be magnanimous, not to bear grudges against brothers and sisters.

For Zhu Zhen, it was worse than eating ten thousand flies.

Fuck you, I... oh no, this king is not magnanimous at all, even if I become a prince, let me be magnanimous?Pooh!
If the prince still has to swallow his anger and take care of the overall situation, then why should I be a prince? !

And that may not necessarily save the concubine mother.

Because he stabbed his father, he completely became a dead enmity with Concubine Dading.She would definitely kill her and not let go, and maybe she would try every means to harm the concubine mother.

It doesn't matter if it harms others, the key is to harm yourself.Therefore, this method does not work.

Then there is only one other option left...
