Chapter 13: Entering the palace with Charlotte
The investigators reported that there was nothing suspicious at the scene, and that everything happened so suddenly that it really seemed to be just an accident. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the poison on the sword is not detected, maybe the matter can be simply over.
But once it happens, it is not destined to end easily. No one could say who smeared the poison on the sword, and all the minions who carried the sword and touched the sword were investigated one by one and eliminated one by one.
Although the poison on the sword is not fatal, it also requires a year and a half of cultivation, and this matter is destined to be charged with a crime, and the owner of the sword, the sixth prince, can only temporarily become the object of the emperor's suspicion. After all, some people say that the crown prince is mediocre, and the sixth prince is likely to replace him.
On the one hand, the emperor listened to the rumors outside, and on the other hand, he speculated about the possibilities of the matter, and his face full of clouds was daunting.
Lin Ruochen did not leave the Six Princes' Mansion, and he still stayed where he was after everyone left, and even restored the action of the Six Princes falling and throwing his sword again and again. How could it be so coincidental? Coincidentally, when the sixth prince slipped and fell, the crown prince happened to be standing next to him. Since the sword is poisonous, it means that someone knows that the prince will be injured today. Who could have predicted where the crown prince would stand? Wouldn't this move be too risky? If the sixth prince hadn't fallen, or if the crown prince hadn't stood there, wouldn't the plan have failed?
Lin Ruochen suddenly raised his head, and he could know where the prince was standing - only the prince himself.
Lin Ruochen was taken aback by the idea that suddenly came to him, but this result was the easiest to hold.
Lin Ruochen walked up the steps again, and after having a general idea in his heart, he could see some problems that were not easy to see. For example, now, Lin Ruochen found a little white ash on the ground. The white ash is rarely melted in the hot weather, so it is difficult to be found, which made Lin Ruochen check it many times before seeing it.
Things can almost be straightened out, Lin Ruochen assumed that the prince asked the prince to apply a little white ash on the ground in advance, and when he came to the stage to play with the sword, he would find an opportunity to apply poison to the sword. In the end, he stood at the front and waited for the six princes to fall and be a sympathetic victim.
It was a reluctant explanation, but it was the only one that worked.
"Does the prince have such a deep scheming?" Lin Ruochen asked himself.
Although no direct evidence was found, Lin Ruochen told himself: I should pay more attention to the prince in the future!
In his previous life, he always thought that the second prince was the most scheming, but in the end, the sixth prince ended up being secretly executed, and the second prince became the object of everyone's attention. There is only the crown prince, although the outside world always says that he is not favored and may lose the position of the prince at any time, but he sits firmly in that position. It is very difficult to climb to the position of the crown prince, and it is even more difficult to keep the position of the crown prince, but the prince Lin Lin has done it! Why didn't he notice this in his previous life?
If this life is the same as the previous life, then three days later, the six princes will come out of the palace, because Lin Ruochen knows that Jiang Guifei will intercede with the emperor tonight. I don't know if the emperor likes Jiang Guifei or if there is something else, anyway, the emperor finally let the six princes go home, and there was no severe reprimand.
In the eyes of others, the six princes are deeply loved by the emperor, only Lin Ruochen knows that the six princes after returning to the house in the previous life had an estrangement with the emperor because of this incident, and the emperor always thought that the six princes did not respect their brothers, which laid the groundwork for future distrust and suspicion.
The next day, the prince got into a carriage and left the palace, saying that he was going to a summer resort a hundred miles away to recuperate from his injuries. Lin Ruochen didn't know what the injury was, but he only knew that these things had happened in his previous life.
Lin Ruochen wants to change the fate of the Six Princes, although he doesn't know if it's feasible, but how can he know the result if he doesn't try?
Ouyang Wanru had anger on her face, and took her daughter's hand to tell her husband about her dissatisfaction.
"Jiang Guifei is really ridiculous, the sixth prince obviously already has a favorite person, today is she trying to let our daughter be a concubine for her son? We are not the people who climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, we only hope that our daughter can have a good home in the future, marrying into the royal family is someone else's pursuit, our family is ......"
"Yes, ma'am. Charlotte interrupted her wife and told her what she had just learned.
"The sixth prince has been placed under house arrest by the emperor in the palace, I don't know how things will develop, where does Concubine Jiang still have time to care about us?"
"Huh?" Ouyang Wanru seemed to be surprised, he didn't expect that the emperor would really put the six princes under house arrest.
"I think the six princes are good, and they shouldn't deliberately kill the crown prince. Is there any misunderstanding in it, maybe it's really a miss. ”
Xia Chuyan looked at his mother, who was still indignant just now, but now he immediately softened his heart when he saw others suffering a little. You must know that as a prince, how could he suffer even if he was under house arrest? Fortunately, his father loved his mother deeply, otherwise with his mother's character, he would not be suitable to live in a deep house.
Here, as soon as Lin Ruochen walked to the gate of the palace, he met Xia Luo, who was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace.
Xia Luo took the initiative to walk to Lin Ruochen's side, put his arm around Lin Ruochen's shoulders and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I haven't thanked you for saving the little girl's life, if you need anything, you just have to speak." ”
Lin Ruochen smiled, looked at Xia Luo and said, "It just so happens that I need your help with something, I wonder if you are willing to help?"
Xia Luo was stunned, thinking to herself, didn't you calculate it in advance? But since he opened his mouth, why should he first ask Lin Ruochen what he asked him to do for him, and then decide if he could help?
"It's very simple, I came out in too much of a hurry, and I only remembered that I didn't have a token to enter the palace when I came here, can you take me into the palace with you?"
Xia Luo breathed a sigh of relief, with Lin Ruochen's identity, if he wants to enter the palace, he only needs to say to his father or eldest brother, and it is not easy to enter the palace once. This matter is easy to do, as long as Lin Ruochen is brought into the palace, as for whether the emperor is willing to see him, it is not a matter for him to decide.
Lin Ruochen followed Xia Luo into the palace smoothly, looking at the tall figure in front of him, Lin Ruochen thought about another thing: Do you want to tell Xia Luo that his wife will have a difficult birth? If so, will Xia Luo believe it? He wants a son-in-law so much, is he willing to lose this child he has not yet met?
"I had a dream before!" Lin Ruochen finally spoke.
Charlotte looked back curiously: "What dream?"
"I dreamed of a poor man who had always wanted a son but never got it, and just when he was losing hope, his wife became pregnant. ”
Lin Ruochen raised his head and glanced at Xia Luo, smiled at him kindly, and then continued: "Her wife died of dystocia when she was giving birth. At last he was very sad and soon went with his wife!"
Xia Luo didn't speak, he didn't know what Lin Ruochen wanted to tell him.
"The stories in the dreams are all fake, and you really don't have to feel sorry for the people in the dreams. ”
Lin Ruochen almost fell down when he heard this: Could it be that Xia Luo thought that he was just panicking when he had nothing to say?
