Hu Huaian's expression was just right. He was neither anxious as the sky was about to collapse, nor did he dare to have a clear smile. The changes in his facial features were extremely subtle, and he changed completely at the emperor's expression.

Although such changes cannot make the emperor have a deeper impression of him, they can effectively prevent the emperor from venting his anger towards him.

It was like a chameleon. When the emperor was angry, even though others were beside him, they seemed to be hidden.

Sure enough, the emperor gasped slightly and did not put any extra attention on Hu Huaian.

Hu Huaian breathed a sigh of relief, but then the worry flashed across his face and was suppressed by him.

"The emperor's body has declined to this point, and it feels worse and worse." This perception made Hu Huaian feel a deep sense of anxiety.

However, his eyes fell on the person who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and he felt a sense of contrast.

No matter how bad your situation is in the future, can you still be worse than Ma Shunde now?

He also envied Ma Shunde for getting the Imperial City from Zhao Bingzhong and becoming the chief eunuch.

Now it seems that mastering the Imperial City Department is like holding a double-edged sword. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

If Ma Shunde did not control the Imperial City Department, how could such a fatal situation happen today?

Huff, Huff.

The emperor could hear his heavy breathing, which represented the appearance of his aging. The emperor hated these things. He closed his eyes and let the medicine work. After a while, as the medicine works, his emotions gradually calmed down.

The emperor then raised his eyelids again, looked at the person who was still kowtowing and asked coldly: "What have you found?"

Ma Shunde stopped and did not dare to look up. He lowered his head and replied: "Return to the emperor, I found out that the first person to tell the rumors was Zhang Zhou, the manager of the Shu Palace."

"Shu Prince's Mansion?" Hearing this surprising thing, the emperor just said something lightly and his expression became deeper.

"Yes, I have been continuing to check whether this Zhou has any other background or is he framed the King of Shu..." Ma Shunde hurriedly replied.

The emperor signaled the people nearby to serve him, pulled a pair of shoes and robe, and turned around in the hall for a few times. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Hu Huaian who had been following him in a small way.

"Is there any news about Taisun's Mansion?"

Hu Huaian immediately reported: "Emperor, the Taisun Mansion has been left Beijing since Taisun left Beijing and basically stayed in the door. He bought and sold rice, grain, meat and vegetables every day, and the shops he operated were under supervision, and there was no news to pay attention to."

At this time, a eunuch who was far away also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the grandson himself is still in the canal, protected by the guards of the countryside. There is no obvious news every day."

As he said that, everyone present lowered their heads and no one dared to look up and say anything.

Hu Huaian felt cold in his heart: "The emperor suspected that the grandson was so!"

If something like this happens, the first reaction is the grandson?"

But the problem is that everyone can see that even if the emperor does not like the grandson, the grandson's situation is not bad. He can even fight with the emperor at present, have the position of crown prince and have the orthodox status, so there is no need to make such a move. This is not beneficial to the grandson except to be able to breathe!

For those who have power, what's the use of breathing out in a short time?

Taisun is not a fool, how could he do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself? Not only will he encounter the emperor's thunderous anger, but there are many people who will benefit.

No matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that the person who spreads rumors is the grandson.

Although some self-righteous people think that the grandson used this to do the opposite?

But the problem is still that, what are you trying to do?

We are fighting for both sides and even completely finished, just to give everyone a "surprise"?

After hearing this, the emperor stood and pondered. His face turned pale for a moment, and then turned green again, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and his chest was filled with depression.

Not the grandson?

"Who could it be? Could it be King Qi?"

"It's not really what the King of Shu did, right?"

The emperor was unwilling to believe that his son really had it. (This chapter is not finished!)

Chapter 989 Who stabbed me

So stupid, slowly walked back to Ma Shunde and looked down at the slave: "You continue to block the city gate and mobilize the civil line of the Imperial City Department. Be sure to know who is spreading rumors."

"Also, if you pass the imperial edict on Shuntian Mansion and the Nine Gate Admiral, whoever dares to spread the rumor will be rectified immediately." The emperor said gloomyly: "Be sure to hear a word after dawn."

"Yes!" Ma Shunde responded immediately.

"Emperor, Lord Zhao Xu, Lord Zhao and Lord Qian Xu, have urgently ordered Shuntian Prefecture to dispatch a patrol with swords to suppress the spread of rumors." Hu Huaian said with his hands down.

“It’s done well.”

The emperor had a gloomy face, gritted his teeth, and continued to order: "Issue the order, and the King of Shu is not strict, so he is temporarily confined!"

"Just investigate anything else thoroughly. Anyone who dares to hide it will be punished."

"yes!"

At this time, the sky gradually became brighter. Because the sky was cloudy, the hall was still a little dark. The rain was not heavy, but it was still endless. The raindrops drifting in with the wind fell on their faces, with a coldness.

The emperor still had doubts.

"Not the grandson?"

"It's true that he can't know the inside story, but will there be a suicide note telling me?"

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly became a little dizzy and returned to the couch.

"No, it's not that. If Fu'er knew the inside story, how could he be so distracted? This matter is a secret. Not to mention that it was back then, even now, few people know it."

"Who stole my secrets? Everyone knows it?"

"This is really something to be punished, and the nine clans are killed!"

When the emperor thought of this, his heart tightened and he couldn't help but turn his eyes outside, but he saw dark clouds, making it dark and the wind blew softly.

Then I thought about what I just said.

Zhao Xu and Qian Xu have mobilized?

On the one hand, the emperor praised him slightly, and he had to rely on ministers to do things. It was not that the officials in the country could compare with him. Ma Shunde had disappointed him many times. Although Hu Huaian could serve him, he was just a servant who served him, and he had not seen his ability elsewhere.

"But Zhao Xu and Qian Xu both knew the rumors, those officials..."

The emperor was a little afraid to think about it, and he ordered Hu Huaian to be so gloomy: "This kind of rumor should not be passed on to the inner palace, especially the queen. Go and see. If anyone dares to do this, peel and fill in the weeds!"

"...Yes!" Hu Huaian received the oral order and immediately went to do it.

"Ma Shunde is so incompetent, alas, it's really unavailable!" The emperor thought about this and spoke again: "Hu Huaian."

"Emperor." Hu Huaian, who was about to leave, immediately bent down and returned, waiting for the emperor's instructions. @美\/Shuge* First update~~

The emperor frowned: "Transfer the order to let Zhao Bingzhong enter the value again."

"...Yes!" Hu Huaian and Ma Shunde responded respectfully, but changed slightly.

"You guys, why don't you go and do the job?" The emperor saw the two of them, but he smiled and said, "I am shocked by you, and I have to rest for a while."

"Yes!" Ma Shunde had blood on his forehead, tears in his eyes, kowtowed, glanced at the emperor, and staggered backwards.

Some time ago, Ma Shunde was more proud, but now he is more down and out, just like an eggplant made from frost, and he is completely wilted.

The emperor asked Zhao Bingzhong to be on the quota again, without saying it explicitly, is this to make Zhao Bingzhong become a close eunuch again, or even control the Imperial City Department?

If Zhao Bingzhong returns to the emperor’s side, what’s going on with his own Ma Shunde?

The emperor is disgusted.

For the eunuch, there is nothing more desperate than the superiors who hate it.

In the bedroom, the palace that was originally full of people was empty, and the emperor was the only one left.

Although there was a palace servant standing at the door, no one dared to enter without the emperor's orders.

The emperor took a few steps back and sat back on the couch.

Ma Shunde and Hu Huaian were not aware of the seriousness of this matter, but the emperor knew in his heart that he was sitting there, stunned. At this moment, the face that had already shown its old look suddenly became much more haggard.

Where can the eyebrows and eyes have the strength and tenacity of their youth?

"Who is it, who is spreading the rumors?"

"Who stabbed me?"
