Chapter Ninety-Five: Vigilance

Jiang Yuetang closed her eyes, her mind thinking quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Judging from the fact that the emperor did not have a deep hatred with anyone when he was alive, and the queen mother did not have a big holiday with anyone, it is unlikely that the prince and the harem concubines will attack.

Analyzing it on a smaller scale, the third prince was only more than eight months old at the time, except for the outside world's discussion of "maybe His Majesty will make him the crown prince in the future", which would make Li Pei, who was the crown prince at the time, somewhat uneasy, it does not seem to cause pressure and influence on others.

So, could the death of the third prince have anything to do with the crown prince Li Pei? But at that time, the crown prince Li Pei was only four years old, and the crown prince and the prince were Cao Dong, a great Confucian of the Zhao Kingdom who was known for his 'virtuous and upright', it is unlikely that he would have planned such a thing. What's more, the crown prince Li Pei is kind-hearted and righteous, and he doesn't seem to be a person who can't tolerate this younger brother who is only more than eight months old.

Then, it cannot be ruled out that there is another hidden truth in this case, and it is very hidden.

The more Jiang Yuetang analyzed, the more aware of the complexity of the case.

"I'm afraid I can't dig out the truth based on the information we have now. Jiang Yuetang said.

"Hmm. Princess Chang'an agreed and said, "That's it, once there is anything new to discover in this matter, I will tell you, and you can help us analyze it." It's just that this matter must be done secretly, and it must not be publicized. ”

"It's natural, and the princess can rest assured. Jiang Yuetang nodded hurriedly, and asked again: "Do you still keep those wolf hairs and the bloodstained rags?"

"Well, it's all still there, over there in Dali Temple. ”

"Good. The grass people will be on the lookout for any news on this matter in the future. ”

Princess Chang'an nodded, her face gradually returned to her usual liveliness and heartiness, and asked about Jiang Yuetang's study with concern.

As soon as the servants got the sample, they examined it, and in less than three quarters of an hour it came to the result that killed the emperor was a fine powder mixed with several raw materials, among which three plant components could be measured.

At this point, the inference that the emperor was killed by him is valid, and it is very likely that the two fathers-in-law who died one after another were the ones who carried out this plan. It's just that now the two of them are dead, and this mixed powder is different from ordinary poisons/drugs, and has never been seen in the rivers and lakes, so it is impossible to know the name and source of this formula for a while.

Since the name and source of this prescription are not clear, we have to analyze the motives for this case.

Since he had the courage to plot the murder of the emperor, it can be seen that he was coming for the throne, which inevitably makes people suspect Jinshang at first, however, judging from Jinshang's efforts to investigate this case and his usual words and deeds, he doesn't look like a person who would do this.

Therefore, suspicion is suspicion, and no one dares to say anything without evidence, not to mention that the other party is the king of a country.

Of course, the emperor knew what the ministers were thinking, but he did not panic, because he knew that he was innocent and had the confidence to prove it for himself.

Since the evidence was insufficient at the moment, and the discussion could not reach a result, the emperor ordered the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to jointly investigate, and expressed his willingness to mobilize all resources to cooperate.

At this time, the second prince Li Ji, who had been quietly listening to everyone's discussion and neither expressing his opinion nor participating in the discussion, suddenly got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to assist them in investigating this case. ”

The emperor looked at him with a smile and said, "It is enough to have people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and you don't need to go." ”

The second prince Li Ji did not flinch, and still said in a sincere tone: "The first emperor is also the father of the minister, and the minister has been living in inextricable pain after the death of the first emperor. ”

With that, he kowtowed to the emperor.

There is indeed nothing wrong with the second prince's request.

The ministers all looked at the Emperor.

The emperor picked up the teacup and slowly took a few sips of tea, and said, "Zhaoguo has a lot of places to use you, so don't come to join in the fun." ”

Although the tone is calm and unwavering, it is also resolute that cannot be changed.

The second prince, Li Ji, saw that he couldn't move, so he had to sit back in his place silently.

Sima Yu looked at the second prince Li Ji and coughed lightly.

The second prince, Li Ji, deliberately did not make any eye contact with him, so he subconsciously turned his head to look away.

The emperor announced the dismissal of the meeting, and rewarded all the ministers who visited the scene today, and also specially rewarded Jiang Yuetang with a set of valuable four treasures of the study and more than a dozen bags of dim sum, and also sent a few packets of nourishing medicinal materials to Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan.

After leaving the palace, a certain minister whispered to Cao Wende, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "Didn't you say that the brotherly relationship between Your Majesty and Your Second Highness has always been quite deep? Why does Your Majesty seem to be quite wary of him today?"

Cao Wende then replied quietly: "How can the Tian family have simple brotherhood? In the past, it was just a show in front of everyone. It is said that His Majesty was almost assassinated last time when he practiced shooting in the training ground, and the mastermind behind it is very likely to be His Royal Highness. ”

When he said this, Cao Wende looked around vigilantly, and only relieved himself after making sure that there was no one around.

"What?" said the minister's face was full of panic.

Cao Wende hurriedly motioned for him not to speak up, and said, "It's just that some people say so in private, but no one has any evidence." But one thing is obvious - since that time, His Majesty seems to have been more wary of His Second Highness. ”

The minister hurriedly said, "I really don't know about this, thank you for telling me." ”

"Nothing, but don't tell anyone else. ”

"Where do you dare to talk nonsense, don't worry. ”

Shangguan Che hugged Jiang Yuetang and got into the carriage.

It was not too early, so he decided not to go back to his house, and sent Jiang Yuetang home directly, and gave her a lecture by the way.

got into the carriage, Shangguan Che hugged her over and asked, "I see that you just chatted with Princess Chang'an, what are you talking about?"

"Talk about eating, playing, and learning. The little one said with a smile.

Shangguan Che scratched her nose and said, "Your Majesty praised you in the meeting just now, which shows that he is very satisfied with your performance this time. ”

The little one smiled modestly and did not answer.

The carriage drove towards the setting sun, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the thin curtains, so that their faces seemed to be covered with a layer of rich splendor, and a gentle breeze blew in and blew the curtains on their faces.

Shangguan Che quietly looked at the side face of Jiang Yuetang facing the sunset, as if he was looking at a favorite baby.

"Teacher, do you like the sunset?" the little one asked, turning his head to him.

"I like it, the sunset has a magnificent beauty. Shangguan Che said.

"Uh-huh, I sometimes like it more than the rising sun. The little guy looked at the sunset and said sincerely.

Her side face was so holy and lovely, he couldn't help but admire.

He smiled and took her into his arms.
