Chapter 460
Not long after, Lu Qingyun appeared in Ning Chen's tent and reported his subordinates' findings truthfully.

"I think that En and Jin, the concubine, should know something, so it's better to arrest them for trial."

Ning Chen turned his back to him, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Since you already have an idea, go ahead and do it, and remember not to startle the snake."

"Yes." Lu Qingyun cupped his hands.

Just as he was about to leave, Ning Chen stopped him again, "What can the Third Prince and Concubine Yi do?"

"I haven't found anything yet. It's just that the two of you talked in private for a while. I don't know the specific content. Right now, the third prince is in his tent." Lu Qingyun said.

Ning Chen nodded and waved his hands, "Go ahead and keep an eye on it."

After there was no one else in the tent, he let out a long sigh and turned around.

On the table were the articles written by the princes two days ago. They all had their own opinions and strengths. The third prince and the fourth prince wrote very well, better than the other two older ones. He was very pleased at that time.

But looking at it now, it just annoys me.

No parent wants to watch their own flesh and blood kill each other.

"Your Majesty, the tea is cold, I will give you another cup." Yuan Jiu whispered.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "The children are grown up, and now even I can't control them. I thought that I would grind their tempers a few years later, but looking at it now, I'm afraid it will be too late to grind them for a few more years." It's going to be even more crooked."

All are not fools.

The competition for favor in the harem has long been less intense than it used to be. To put it bluntly, they are all in their 30s. What do they still earn? The fight is nothing more than for their children.

Murdering the noble concubine hurt the fourth prince, no one would really think that the poisoner was just to kill the noble concubine.

Yuan Jiu didn't want to answer, but still pretended to be confused, "Everyone is different, and they always have their own ideas."

Only this time, Ning Chen didn't intend to let him go around.

He said directly, "You don't have to shy away from anything, you have served me for more than [-] years, and you can see things very thoroughly, so you can tell me well, what about the third prince and the fourth prince."

Yuan Jiu raised his head slightly, his gaze met Ning Chen for a moment, and then quickly lowered his gaze.

I also sighed in my heart, but this time I can't say it, I have to say it.

After thinking and thinking, I opened my mouth carefully.

"From my servant's point of view, there are similarities in the temperaments of the two Highnesses, they are both very strong, but the Third Highness is more obsessed, so he is more thoughtful, but the Fourth Highness is more open-minded and always rushes for the best, but if If you can't get it, you can let it go, and you will be more lively."

To put it bluntly, the third prince is very paranoid, and may use any means to achieve his goal, but the fourth prince is different, he can afford it and let it go, he will fight hard for what he can get, and will not force what he can't get.

Although they are equally strong and proud, the third prince is out of face and vanity, while the fourth prince naturally wants to do things the best he can.

Ning Chen looked at this servant who had been with him for many years, shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

"You, your eyes are very poisonous."

As a father, he knew his son well, but it was difficult to choose between the two children. Even Ye Yun's words were not enough to prove it, because Ye Yun was the biological mother of the fourth prince.

But Yuan Jiu is different, he is neutral and loyal to Ning Chen, so today's words are Yuan Jiu's revealing of Ning Chen's thoughts.

Night falls.

Ning Chen was worried about Ye Yun, so he ordered someone to set up a small bed in her tent, and slept beside her to keep watch.

The poison has been experienced, it is something from the Liao Kingdom, the two are eaten separately, it is a chronic poison that will harm the body for many years, but if taken together, it is extremely poisonous.

The third prince will not be able to get this, so there must be others to help.

The first people Ning Chen suspected were En and Jin.

So he concealed the news that he already knew the origin of the poison, and pursued it secretly.

Looking at the sleeping woman next to him, Ning Chen struggled to fall asleep in worry.

But he didn't expect that the next day he would face something that he didn't even want to face.

Lu Qingyun came to report early in the morning. At [-]:[-] last night, the third prince disguised himself as a servant and went to the tent of the eldest son Hong Geer.

If it was just an ordinary meeting, why did they choose to meet in the middle of the night, and why did they deliberately disguise themselves, there must be some secrets in this.

Without waiting for Ning Chen to think about it, Lu Qingyun tore off another fig leaf from the Third Prince.

According to Ang Qin's account, he was instructed by Hong Geer to follow the fourth prince during the horse race. When Hong Geer and the third prince angered the fourth prince and the fourth prince wanted to speed up to catch up, he stuck the silver needle into the fourth prince's horse. body, causing a startled horse.

At first, Lu Qingyun didn't believe that Ang Qin could fly a needle at a young age, but he didn't believe it until Ang Qin demonstrated it specially.

Ang Qin also said bluntly that Enhe Jin had many concubines and concubines, and he managed to gain a firm foothold in the palace by relying on this skill.

After listening to Lu Qingyun's report, Ning Chen was silent for a long time.

It took a while to stand up, "Yuan Jiu, go and call the third prince, and tell me that I have read his article and there are a few problems that I need to correct. Lu Qingyun, you choose some reliable and strict people to guard the camp."

Speaking like this is definitely meant to be liquidated.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Yuan Jiu sighed inwardly, and hurried down to do things.

When he came, the third prince was still reading, so he was polite when he saw Yuan Jiu.

"The emperor specially asked the servant to invite His Highness to come over. There are some things in the article that I want to talk to His Highness, so let's go." Yuan Jiu said with a smile.

Anyway, in terms of attitude, there is nothing wrong with it.

The third prince didn't doubt that he was there, so he came immediately.

It wasn't until I walked to the door of the tent and found that there were more guards than usual that I began to feel something was wrong.

After entering the tent, Yuan Jiu didn't follow, and the third prince didn't know that, outside the tent, Liang Zhao, the servant who came with him, was dragged away with his mouth covered.

"My son sees my father." The third prince saluted.

Ning Chen raised his eyes and looked over, and said indifferently, "Kneel down."

"Father." The hair on the third prince's back suddenly stood up, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, "Father, calm down, I don't know what my son did wrong."

"I tell you to kneel down!" Ning Chen snarled, and smashed the booklet in his hand with a whoosh.

The third prince trembled all over, and quickly knelt down on the ground, and the booklet fell right in front of him.

It was the article written by Ning Chen a few days ago, the content was the way of a gentleman.

"A gentleman cultivates his heart without being good at sincerity. There is nothing else to do when he is sincere. Only benevolence is the only way to keep it, and only righteousness is the way to do it."

Ning Chen's eyes were cold, and he read out the words written in the third prince's article word by word.

"You said in your article that you must be sincere, stick to benevolence, and uphold morality. This is the way for a gentleman to cultivate his mind and body. I only think that you do what you say, but you have done some nasty things. How dare you Have the face to write such words!"
