It stands to reason that this jade tube should be shown to the prince first, but the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Criminal Department Shangshu have forgotten, so they should only leave the palace and hand over the case to the Criminal Department Shangshu for investigation, so they will look at it first.

Two lines of small print, but write two earth-shattering things.

One line reads: Zhao Yi is from Empress Zhao and the first prince.

Another line reads: The first prince was poisoned by Empress Zhao.

No matter which one of them, it can shake people, and it is impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

The eyes of the criminal department were glazed, and everyone looked at him, judging from his face what was written on the tulle.

Minglan and Chu Li guessed one point, this is also what they wanted, there is no evidence, but Zhao Shufei and the Zhao family can't, Princess Jin worked hard to let her brother pass the word, but she was killed halfway, this is murder, and it also proves from the side that the letter passed on by the eldest master of the Jiang family is undoubted.

The prince walked over and asked, "What is written in the letter?"

Shangshu of the Criminal Department came back to his senses, and hurriedly restrained the shocked look on his face, looking at the hand stretched out by the prince, Shangshu of the Criminal Department hesitated.

Zhao Yi is older than the prince of Liwang, if what the letter says is true, then Concubine Zhao Shufei hooked up with the former prince with the identity of the princess who did not leave the king, and wore a bright green hat for the king, even if Zhao Shufei is the emperor's person now, no one can deny that this green hat exists.

It's a man who can't accept it, and the emperor......

Shangshu of the Criminal Department is also a headache, and the cases in his hands are bigger than one another, is this forcing him to find out the beginning and the end, and his name will go down in history?

The criminal department did not move, the prince frowned, and said, "Can't show me?"

Shangshu of the Criminal Department sighed in his heart, what can't be shown to the prince, this is a letter from the princess of Jin to the princess of the princess, he can't hide it, and he won't help to hide it, so he handed over the tulle letter to the prince.

Like him, after reading the letter, the prince was like being struck by thunder, his face was black, and he was as ugly as he looked.

Third Young Master Chu quietly leaned behind the prince and glanced at him, his expression was rich, and every word was full of surprise, "I'm a mother...... ”

He has grown so big, and he has never encountered such a complicated case, Empress Zhao...... No, it should be Concubine Zhao Shu, she is really not an ordinary person, the whole Great Zhou was turned upside down because of her, killing the first prince, the son of the queen mother, and the queen mother also praised her to ascend to the back seat......

Such a powerful person was actually beaten by his mother-in-law, no, he had to offer up the mother-in-law when he went home.

Not only the Third Young Master Chu, but the five princes all came over to take a look, their faces were varied, as if someone had knocked over the paint plate.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the prince and said, "Lord, this matter is very important, let's go to the study and talk about it." ”

The prince raised his feet and walked to the study, followed by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Chu Li and Minglan also followed, poor Minglan and Chu Li knew early on that Zhao Yi was the green hat that Empress Zhao and the first prince wore to the prince and the emperor, but they never thought that the first prince was killed by Queen Zhao.

Even the Third Young Master Chu knew about this matter, and they were still in the dark until the prince questioned them, "You already knew about Concubine Zhao and the Zhao family?"

His own son, the prince understands, if he didn't know the inside story, he couldn't be so calm.

Chu Li admitted, "I know a little, because there is no evidence, I haven't told my father and the emperor. ”

The prince's face was cold, "Is there no evidence, or is it hiding it for your mother?!"

Chu Li couldn't deny that in addition to Princess Jin, Princess Jin could testify about this matter, and his mother could also testify, but he didn't want to force the princess.

But Chu Li didn't accept the blamed eyes of the prince, "The father has forced the mother to ask the mother for more than ten years, has the mother concubine ever said half a word?"

One sentence choked the prince half to death.

Minglan had a headache, she hurriedly said, "The Zhao family forced the mother concubine to swear a poisonous oath, and the mother concubine blamed the disappearance of the county lord of Zhaoning and the old prince on her own oath, she would rather die than open her mouth, she loves Xianggong, and the mother said that the effect is not good if Princess Jin does not say that the effect is good, and Xianggong and I will not embarrass the mother." ”

After speaking, Minglan looked at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and said, "The letter in the jade tube is enough to convict Concubine Zhao Shufei and the Zhao family, right?"

The criminal department Shangshu shook his head, "The evidence is insufficient, this can only be regarded as the princess of Jin's words, if you want to convict Concubine Zhao Shufei and the Zhao family, it is best for the princess to come out to testify, and the emperor may not ......." ”

Speaking of this, the voice of the Criminal Department Shangshu stopped abruptly.

They are all smart people, and they don't need to be too straightforward.

This matter is no longer a matter of insufficient evidence, but the emperor may not be willing to make this matter public.

Concubine Zhao Shu's actions are related to the face of the prince and the emperor, the prince is okay to say, especially the emperor, a woman with an innocent net worth has been the queen's mother for nearly 20 years, and the secretary of the criminal department is afraid that the emperor will vomit blood angrily if he knows about it.

There is also the death of the first prince, he knew that the first prince died violently, but no one suspected that it was Zhao Shufei who killed him.

Before today, Concubine Zhao Shu and the former prince were two people who couldn't be beaten by eight poles.

Seeing Minglan's disappointment, the Criminal Department Shangshu said, "Princess Jin said that the first prince was killed by Concubine Zhao Shu, and this matter is too ...... a big deal." ”

Ming Lan suddenly looked up at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, "The first prince was killed by Concubine Zhao Shu?"

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department was stunned, "Doesn't the princess know?"

The look of shock on Minglan's face was not fake, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at Chu Li again, he was also shocked, but Minglan stood still, Chu Li went to take the letter and read it, and said in shock, "Minglan and I didn't know that the death of the first prince was related to Concubine Zhao Shu. ”

Minglan nodded again and again, "I know that the first prince demoted the crown princess to a side concubine in order to make room for Zhao Shufei to make up for the position of the crown princess, since he hooked up with a traitor, why did Zhao Shufei kill the first prince?"

In Minglan's opinion, this is completely a hole in the head.

For the sake of Queen Zhao, the first prince made a demotion to the concubine as a side concubine, which shows the favor for her, she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the first prince in her belly, and the princess of Jin is pregnant with a county lord, which does not hinder her from doing anything at all, the first prince ascended the throne, she is naturally the queen, and Zhao Yi is the prince.

It's obviously a justifiable thing, why did you end up making trouble with a bad name, plus committing the capital crime of punishing the nine clans?

Is it because of the prince?

Afraid of the prince's revenge?

Impossible.

The Zhao family made a decision to let the princess marry instead, obviously not taking leaving the palace in their eyes, Minglan couldn't figure it out, and only felt that his head was in chaos.

Of course, there is also some happiness in the chaos.

Fortunately, she gave up forcing the princess and chose Princess Jin, otherwise how could she have such a big secret popping out of Princess Jin's mouth?

Guarding such a big secret, she has been in the Jin Palace's mansion for eighteen years, which is really hard for her.

Kill the first prince, if the queen mother knew that it was Zhao Shufei who killed her son, it is estimated that she would have the heart to peel her skin.
