Lin Zhihuai hurriedly walked to the palace, bowed to Zhou Chang'an, and lamented: "Your Majesty, what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said is true. The minister's daughter is really miserable, she has been weak since she was a child, and she has suffered many disasters. I was frightened at the palace banquet last time, and it took a few months to fully recover, and the day before yesterday I suffered another catastrophe, and I don't know if I can fully recover. If you delay the concubine selection feast of Xiling Kingdom because of this, you will be ashamed of your trust in the emperor, your love for His Royal Highness Prince Ximen, and your love for the people of the world. ”

Zhou Changan's brows furrowed even tighter, he looked at Lin Zhihuai with his eyebrows, and secretly muttered in his heart, is Lin Wan'er really so intimidated?

Lin Zhihuai immediately bowed to Zhou Chang'an and said gratefully: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, I have asked the doctor to see it, Wan'er is not physically injured, but she is frightened, she just needs to recuperate." I have been prescribed a prescription and take it on time, and I hope to recover soon. The doctor couldn't help much with this mental illness, it all depended on the child's own willpower. ”

Zhou Changan nodded slightly, and said in his heart, there is no shortage of doctors around Lin Wan, when this heart disease will be cured depends entirely on herself, if she doesn't want to get better, no one can force her. couldn't help but sigh lightly, secretly feeling a headache.

The hall suddenly fell silent, Zhou Changan didn't speak, and no one dared to say anything, except for Zhou Changying.

Zhou Changying glanced at Lu Zhenting, who was standing in the crowd without saying a word, his eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty, the thief is too bold to dare to assassinate Princess Wanxin." Ignoring the royal law of my great feudal country, ignoring the majesty of the emperor, and ignoring the safety of the common people in the world, please let the emperor be aware of everything and severely punish the rebellious ministers and thieves!"

Zhou Changan's face sank, nodded, and said, "Wu Aiqing, how did you investigate this case? It's been two days since the incident, have you found out the details and origin of those assassins?"

Wu Tong hurriedly lined up, walked to the hall, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has received information that someone saw the leader of the black-clothed man who fled hiding in the Lu Guo Mansion. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince led the Yulin Army to surround the Lu Guogong Mansion for the first time, and Weichen also arrived at the scene last night. However, the assassin's accomplices rescued the assassin, and the ministers were embarrassed, and they were entrusted by the emperor to ask the emperor to punish him. ”

Zhou Changan actually already knew what happened last night, and when Wu Tong sent someone to ask for an order, he had already rested in the palace of Concubine Yu. When Gonggong Qi came to report, he didn't want to get up from the gentle township and go to the Lu Guogong Mansion to listen to Lu Zhenting's complaint to Zhou Tianqi, so he asked Gonggong Qi to send the comer.

At this moment, Zhou Changan pretended not to know anything, and asked Zhou Tianqi to come out and tell the story of what happened last night.

Of course, no one will expose Zhou Changan, let alone mention that Wu Tong once sent someone to the palace to ask for a decree.

Zhou Tianqi walked to the hall, his face was cold, and he bowed down and said: "Father Qiqi, my son received a report from his subordinates last night, saying that he saw a man in black enter the Lu Guo Mansion. Due to the urgency of the matter, Erchen did not have time to report to his father, so he found Vice General Li of the Yulin Army and ordered him to lead Erchen to the Luguo Mansion to capture the assassins. The son-in-law is arrogant, please punish the father!"

Zhou Changan waved his hand, frowned and said: "It's a matter of urgency, although Qi'er is not in accordance with the rules in doing this, but there is no punishment to talk about." In the future, if you encounter this kind of thing, remember to inform Commander Feng, if you bring more people last night, maybe you can catch the assassin back. ”

Zhou Tianqi hurriedly waved to Zhou Chang'an, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your father's grace of not punishing, and your sons and daughters should remember your father's teachings." After a pause, he continued: "Father Qiqi, last night Erchen took Yulin Army to the Lu Guogong Mansion to search for the assassin, but he was stopped by Lu Guogong, and the Erchen had no other choice but to surround the Lu Guogong Mansion first, so as not to escape the assassin. However, as his father said, the number of sons and daughters was limited, so they still took care of one thing and the other, and let the assassin's accomplices take advantage of the opportunity to rescue the assassin. ”

Zhou Changan's eyes sharpened, swept towards Lu Zhenting, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lu Aiqing, how do you explain this matter?"

Lu Zhenting knew that he couldn't hide, so he had already made preparations, strode to the hall, knelt on his knees, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!

Zhou Changan's face softened, raised his hand to support him, and said, "Lu Aiqing, get up and speak, I naturally won't wronged you." ”

Lu Zhenting nodded, slowly stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Princess Yuanxin have no grievances, why do you want to send someone to assassinate her? There are ministers' wives and daughters in the minister's back house, how can so many big men rush in like this? If so, how will the ministers have the face to meet people in the future? How will the minister's daughters marry in the future? Please let the emperor know and be the master of the minister!"

Zhou Changan frowned, and he couldn't tell right or wrong for a while. There is nothing wrong with everyone, but everyone is unrelenting, and the only headache is Zhou Changan. had to appease Lu Zhenting first, and said: "Lu Aiqing, Qi'er was indeed a little reckless and not thoughtful enough about last night's incident, but he was also to arrest the assassin, which is understandable, and I hope Lu Aiqing will not blame him." ”

Lu Zhenting had a grudge against Zhou Tianqi in his heart, of course he was unwilling to let him go like this, but at this moment, the situation was unfavorable to him, and with the emperor's help to intercede, of course he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to hold back his breath first, bow to Zhou Chang'an, and said angrily: "The emperor is serious, how dare the minister blame His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince? His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince does not blame the minister for blocking him from searching the mansion last night, which led to the assassin successfully escaping, and the minister is already thankful." ”

Zhou Tianqi hooked his lips slightly, arched his hand to Lu Zhenting, and said: "Lu Guogong laughed, the assassin's escape was not in the favor of this prince and the Yulin army, where can you blame Lu Guogong? ”

Both of them had something to say, and even if everyone present understood, they pretended not to hear the meaning of their words, bowed their heads, and did not express any opinion.

Zhou Changan hurriedly played a round and said: "Since the words have been made clear and the misunderstanding has been resolved, this case will be handed over to Wu Aiqing and Zhao Aiqing to handle it together, and give me and Lin Aiqing an explanation as soon as possible." ”
