Neither Minglan nor Chu Li thought that the death of the first prince was caused by Concubine Zhao Shu, let alone the prince and the secretary of the criminal department.

But Princess Jin wrote in the letter, coupled with the sudden death of the former prince twenty years ago, it has always been a headless unsolved case, the queen mother has been investigating for many years, wanting to avenge the first prince, but she has not been able to find evidence, and there is no one who suspects.

Princess Jin's letter, the first one can basically be judged to be true, and the second one is unknown, but it provides everyone with a little clue, so that he can start to investigate this matter from the Zhao family.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the prince and said, "The princess of Jin asked the eldest master of the Jiang family to send a letter, and was chased and killed on the way to Beijing, I am afraid that the princess of Jin will also be more auspicious, and I also asked the prince to send someone to Hongzhou to protect the certificate, it is best to be able to bring it into Beijing, if the princess of Jin has anything in case, this matter can only ask the princess to come out and testify." ”

Saying that, Shangshu of the Criminal Department paused and continued, "The first prince was poisoned by Concubine Zhao Shu, the prince and the princess don't know, and the princess may not know. ”

The princess and Li returned to the Chu family, and it was not easy for the secretary of the criminal department to come to the door to ask about the case, and the case could not be filed in the criminal department, how to tell the emperor, the secretary of the criminal department was also a headache.

With the emperor's temper, Concubine Zhao Shu deceived him for 20 years, and a green hat was worn for 20 years, and the emperor would definitely kill her alive.

And the crown prince......

When things come out, the prince will definitely be abolished.

The prince stood up, "I'll go to the Chu family to ask the princess." ”

Chu Li looked at the prince and said, "I'll ask about this." ”

The suppressed anger of his father is so far away, he can feel that the concubine is stubborn and stubborn, and when the time comes, she will quarrel without saying a word, it is in the Chu family, the uncle will protect the concubine, and the final result can be imagined, it is nothing more than a big fight, and both sides will lose when the time comes.

Chu Li can be regarded as clearly protecting the princess, although the princess did not do it right, but she was deceived by the Zhao family, and she was dedicated to him, not out of selfishness.

But the prince was not happy, and said with a cold face, "You know about this matter, but you helped your mother hide it from me, now I will ask your mother, you are still afraid that I will bully her, do you have me in your eyes?!"

Shangshu of the Criminal Department had a numb scalp, shouldn't he mention it to find the princess, but she is a witness in this case, and she is even considered an accomplice to some extent, and she can't get around.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the study was stiff, Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly said, "I'll accompany the prince." ”

Minglan pulled Chu Li's cloud sleeves, the prince and the princess can't save it, finish the quarrel early, reconcile early, she believes that there is a criminal department Shangshu, and the prince will not take the princess.

Chu Li retracted his eyes, and he agreed, he said, "It's okay to say that the mother concubine, how does my father plan to tell the emperor?"

Young Master An sent the corpse of the eldest master of the Jiang family in such a swaggering manner, and also alarmed the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to take him to the autopsy, and took out the jade tube from the corpse, and the maids in the house saw it.

If it's just a maid, you can still give a gag order, don't forget, there is still the old princess and the third room in this palace, and this matter will soon stab the ears of the Zhao family and Zhao Shufei.

It is estimated that if you can't wait for the imperial history stage to play tomorrow, the emperor will ask about it.

After all, everyone knows that it is better to tell directly than the emperor asks.

The prince's head hurt, he and the criminal department Shangshu glanced at each other, and said, "Let's go to the palace." ”

appease the emperor first, and then make the next step.

In fact, the prince couldn't figure it out, only Zhao Yi was born by Zhao Shufei and the first prince, which was enough to destroy the Zhao family, why did Princess Jin bother to write that Zhao Shufei was the murderer of the first prince.

The criminal department Shangshu guessed, "It should be to take revenge on the Queen Mother." ”

For so many years, in order to help Concubine Zhao Shu, the Queen Mother bullied Princess Jin, and finally helped the enemy who killed her son, and the Queen Mother must not be able to bear such a blow.

But her momentary anger increased the difficulty of the criminal department's investigation of the case, and also delayed the time for this matter to be made public.

This is testimony, he can't cut off half of it to tell the world, if the first prince was not killed by Concubine Zhao Shu, even this testimony can't be trusted.

If it weren't for the fact that the jade cylinder was only so big, Shangshu of the Criminal Department really hoped that these two things would be written separately.

Leaving the study, the prince and the criminal department went straight to the palace.

In Changhui's courtyard, the maid told the old princess the news of the jade tube dug up from the corpse.

The old princess frowned when she heard this, "I've only heard of fish passing on rulers, but I didn't expect to be able to send a message in such a way, but do you know who the messenger is?"

The maid thought for a while and said, "I heard the old man in the mansion say that it looks like Lord Jiang, the brother of Princess Jin." ”

In the past, the Jiang family was also one of the best families in Kyoto, otherwise Princess Jin was no matter how virtuous and virtuous she was, and her family background was average, she would not be able to enter the eyes of the queen mother, marry the first prince, and lose her life.

The old princess's eyes flashed, "Do you know what is written in the letter?"

The maid shook her head, "I don't know, but many people saw the reaction of the Criminal Department Shangshu and the prince, especially the third young master Chu, and his eyes almost popped out." ”

Master Jiang risked his life to deliver the message and took his life, obviously the news is not simple.

The old princess remembered that the queen mother only allowed the princess of Jin to see her father and brother a few days ago, and the queen mother had been holding the princess of Jin all these years, and she was not allowed to see her relatives, she should be afraid that the princess of Jin would say any news, especially that day when the princess of Jin held a banquet, the prince and the princess came to the door, and the queen mother hurriedly summoned the princess of Jin into the palace......

This matter must have something to do with the Zhao family.

The old princess said, "Spread the news to the Zhao family." ”

Selling the Zhao family a favor, and the more chaotic it is, the happier she is, but why hasn't Beiliang moved at all these days, isn't it for the prince?

The maid replied and turned to leave.

Soon, the news was sent to the Zhao family, and when Mrs. Zhao heard the news that Master Jiang was disemboweled, and got the letter from his belly, her body shook, if it wasn't for Second Young Master Zhao supporting him, he would have fallen.

Second Young Master Zhao didn't know anything, and said suspiciously, "Master Jiang sent a message, what did grandfather do with such a big reaction?"

Mrs. Zhao asked anxiously, "What is written in the letter?"

Xiao Wu shook his head, "No one knows, but the prince and the criminal department Shangshu have already entered the palace." ”

Old lady Zhao's face turned pale.

Empress Dowager Zhao's back was soaked, "It's all because the Empress Dowager is soft-hearted, I said earlier that Princess Jin couldn't stay, the Zhao family planned for twenty years, and finally it was all ruined on Princess Jin!"

Mrs. Zhao was unwilling.

And now it's not a matter of unwillingness, but a matter of whether or not you can save your life.

Mu Jinghua sat on the side, looking at Second Young Master Zhao's confused appearance, only feeling that he had married a stupid pig, and he didn't know so many secrets of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family actually wanted to kill Princess Jin!

And the Queen Mother still knows!

"Why don't you let Yi'er leave Beijing and take refuge for a while?" suggested Mrs. Zhao.

Old Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath to calm herself down, and Mrs. Zhao said, "Don't panic first, a small jade tube can't spread much news, and everyone who doesn't dare to make a big fuss about this matter is well known, and besides, there is a princess here, and everyone will die together!"

Hearing this, Mu Jinghua's heart was shocked, she doesn't seek glory and wealth, but if you want to die, don't pull me along.
