Xie Xiao changed into Ye Xing's clothes and sneaked into the study room of the East Palace. Chu Heng felt someone sneaking into his study room, but he didn't know who it was.

"You guys go out first." Chu Heng sent Yu Xi and Yu Ran away. He wanted to lead this person out. No one who dared to break into his study alone could go out alive.

After Yuxi and Yuran left, Xie Xiao appeared in front of Chu Heng, "Your Highness the Crown Prince".

"General Xie came late at night, it seems that something is important."

"Of course, I'm telling Your Highness a good thing."

Who would have thought that Xie Xiao, the commander of the Imperial Army who was only loyal to His Majesty, was actually the prince's man.

"What a good thing, let's hear it."

Chu Heng and Xie Xiao sat on both sides of the table. Chu Heng poured a cup of tea for Xie Xiao and put it in front of him.

"Your Highness Xie", Xie Xiao picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and then continued, "Today, Your Majesty sent his subordinates to the palace and asked him about the ownership of the 50,000 soldiers."

When asked about the ownership of the troops and horses, Chu Heng was increasingly unable to understand the father's thoughts, but if you think about it carefully, you can guess a few reasons.

"There are too few neutral parties in the court, and you are the only military general that the father trusts the most."

Most of the people in the Nanchu Dynasty now have chosen parties, and there are a few neutral ones, such as Prime Minister Su and Ge Lao Jiang, who are all literati. The civil servants do not care about military generals, so the father and emperor can only find the only "neutral" Commander Xie.

"Did the father give Chu Yu the 50,000 military power?"

When Chu Heng saw Xie Xiao coming, he said that what he told him was good news, and it was about the 50,000 military power, which should have handed over the military power to one of his people.

"That's right, it's His Highness Ning. Is this good news for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xie Xiao thought Chu Yu was the prince's party, so he was naturally very satisfied with the news. However, Chu Yu was the prince's party, and his father must also know that his father had always been afraid of him, so why would he hand over the military power to Chu Yu who relied on him?

"It's probably not that simple."

Xie Xiao didn't know what Chu Heng was thinking for a moment. His Royal Highness's mind was even harder to guess than the emperor.

Chu Heng looked ahead and was playing with teacup in his hand. His father would hand over the 50,000 soldiers to Chu Yu, not just because Chu Yu had military achievements, but his father liked the best person to control...

Chu Heng suddenly put the quilt on the table, "As long as the Empress Yun in the palace is in one day, the 50,000 military powers in Chu Yu's hands are equivalent to holding them in the hands of his father."

Xie Xiao also instantly understood that since the fall of Lin's Mansion and Prince Zhong's Mansion, Concubine Yun has been lingering in sickness all day long. Except for His Highness Ning, few people in Yanyun Palace will step in. His Highness Ning and Concubine Yun's mother and son have a deep relationship. The emperor wanted to control His Highness Ning through Concubine Yun.

"This time the He family fell, on the surface, Chu Xun lost a general and 50,000 troops. This palace seems to be profitable, but..." Chu Heng looked at Xie Xiao with a very serious expression, "Zhao Shangshu seems to be not from this palace anymore..."

Xie Xiao couldn't believe Chu Heng's words, "Shu Zhao stood on the side of the King of Chu?"

Chu Heng shook his head, "It's not Chu Xun, I feel that a third force is gradually emerging in the court..."

Chu Heng didn't know who the third force was. The behind-the-scenes pusher of He Wei's affairs intensified the conflict between him and Chu Xun. Liu Lanxin was not the daughter of ordinary people on the border. Someone secretly protected her. He also asked Yu Ran to secretly take Liu Lanxin's pulse before Liu Lanxin left. Liu Lanxin had internal strength, which shows that she had practiced martial arts. The two villagers and Liu Lanxin had no eyes and language communication during several interrogations, like strangers. How could the people in a small village and the only three remaining people after the massacre?

"Does Your Highness need his subordinates to inquire about something in secret?"

"No, you just need to continue to maintain your 'neutrality'. For the rest, I will send someone else to investigate. You can go back first."

Xie Xiao nodded and saw that there were no guards outside, so he sneaked out.

I don’t know why, when Chu Heng thought about these things recently, Yun Wange always appeared in his mind. Maybe he was too suspicious. He sent someone to check Yun Wange, but there was nothing suspicious at all. Could it be that he hadn’t seen him for too long?

Chu Heng thought about his life and it seemed that he had not seen him for half a month. He was too busy during this period and could not take time to go to Tingyuxuan. However, now that the matter has been resolved, he should be able to go to Tingyuxuan to have a look tomorrow.

When the emperor went to court, Li Quan asked Li Quan to read out the decree to hand over 50,000 military power to King Ning Chuyu. Although Chu Xun and the Marquis of Jian'an were dissatisfied, they were not surprised. The other generals were convinced. His Highness Ning has made many military achievements in recent years, and at the age of His Highness Ning, they were just ordinary soldiers.

Chu Yu has been paying attention to Chu Heng's expression since Li Quan announced the edict. Chu Heng's expression did not change at all when he heard the edict. He didn't know what Chu Heng's attitude was towards him in charge of the 50,000 soldiers.

His power in the court is still too weak now. Yun Wange asked him to continue to rely on Chu Heng and not show any edge in front of Chu Heng, otherwise, they were definitely not Chu Heng's opponents.

After going down the court, Chu Yu caught up with Chu Heng, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother looks very tired."

"I'm too busy these days and I'm really tired. Congratulations to my eighth brother, you deserve these things."

Chu Yu looked at him from time to time just now, and he knew that Chu Heng was also somewhat suspicious of Chu Yu now, but he would not show it in front of Chu Yu. If Chu Yu really had other thoughts, then he would sooner or later reveal his flaws.

Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Now it seems that Chu Heng still trusts him quite a bit. He doesn't want to be discovered by the other party before he gets any results.

After receiving the news from Linglong that "King Ning obtained He Wei's 50,000 military power", Yun Wange did not completely let go of the stone in his heart.

Chu Yu's gain of the 50,000 military power was just the beginning, and even if Chu Yu has obtained the 50,000 military power now, it is not very meaningful. Yun Wange knew that the emperor was just using Chu Yu's name. As long as Concubine Yun was still in the palace, the real master of the 50,000 military power was still the emperor.

Mei'er's voice came from the entrance, "Girl, the Prince's Palace is coming down."

Yun Wange didn't expect Chu Heng to come to Tingyuxuan again. She threw the note into the incense burner. In an instant, the note was burned to ashes.

Chu Heng walked in, Yun Wange bowed to salute. She remembered that when he first came to listen to Yuxuan, he said not to call him Your Highness outside, so this time he called him, "Young Master".
