Chapter Seventy-One: Is the Prince the Real Murderer?
The emperor's brows furrowed, and his eyes filled with sorrow and anger looked at Yulin Piaorou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rou'er is just straightforward and unrestrained, but she is kind in her heart, and she will never do anything evil to kill the son, but ...... Her personality is also impulsive and irritable....... this ......
The emperor's gaze changed from love to doubt, then to worry, and finally to some panic.
Concubine Chen was naturally angry when she saw that her beloved daughter was framed as a murderer, but when she saw the emperor's eyes, she seemed to have some suspicions, and her heart was sudden, but she did not rashly intercede.
Prince Yu Lin Kongyun has always been arrogant, and he doesn't put the second prince Yu Linxi in his eyes, but at this moment, seeing that he dared to speak to his sister in such a tone, he squeezed out a few words from between his lips and teeth: "Second prince, you said that the eldest princess harmed the prince, if it is not true after verification, can you afford the consequences?"
Yu Lin Xi raised his chin slightly and looked directly at Yu Lin Kongyun, there was a freezing cold air in his eyes, and even the second imperial concubine who was crying endlessly, when she saw his changed expression, she also stopped crying in surprise.
The prince's words defended the eldest princess a lot, but it made the younger brother wonder, whether it was harmful to the prince, and the prince was also involved. ”
"What? You even want to frame this palace?" the prince was angry and suspicious.
Yu Linxi has always respected the palace like a god, but at this moment, he has lost his mind because of the loss of his beloved son?
Seeing that the prince was also involved, Concubine Chen really couldn't swallow this evil breath, she groaned slightly, and then sobbed to the emperor with pity tears in her eyes: "Today's incident, someone must have deliberately framed the princess and the prince, the purpose is probably to cause discord between the prince and the second prince and profit from it, the emperor must not fall for the divide!"
When Ru Huan heard Concubine Chen's short two words, she immediately shaped the princess and prince who were originally pushed to the forefront into a wronged little daughter-in-law who was framed, and couldn't help but praise the concubine's quick wit in her heart.
But what Concubine Chen said may not be unreasonable, if the princes present really covet the throne and want to get rid of the crown prince, then making him a murderer on such a grand occasion is indeed a ruthless move!
In particular, the person who was harmed turned out to be the only grandson of the emperor, who would definitely be able to provoke the emperor's anger, even if he didn't cut off the prince's head, he would be removed from the position of prince, and at the same time, he could also provoke the relationship between the prince and his henchman and the second prince, which was really powerful!
This unlucky second prince is really the best candidate for the victim, because he is the most cowardly and incompetent person in this palace who can be bullied!
Ru Huan couldn't help but look at all the princes one by one, was it the lazy and casual and suave King Cheng? Or the King of Ren who couldn't see through his gentle smile to cover his sincerity? Or the seemingly straightforward and mighty King Shu? It wouldn't be the Holy Little Angel King Wen, right?
When her gaze fell on Yulin Xiuze's face, she didn't have any doubts, and immediately shook her head secretly.
It won't be him, he's definitely not a wicked person who can kill his own nephew!
And when the royal family heard Concubine Chen's words, the horror in their hearts was naturally indescribable, and the princes who were still watching the fire on the other side of the river just now immediately had a sense of crisis that they were about to burn themselves!
The emperor's gentle eyes sank like an abyss at this moment, and he sneered heavily: "Now the indiscriminate arguments are useless, Hua Shuyue, I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly immediately." ”
Hua Shuyue bowed his head, and there was a faint majesty in his voice, but it still had that feeling of pity: "Weichen implores the emperor to order the rockery where the crime occurred to be blocked. ”
Concubine Chen looked aggrieved, and seemed to be weak and weak, and got up and pleaded: "Your Majesty, since this matter has involved the prince and the princess, the concubines, as their mothers, must go together to see and understand clearly." ”
When the queen saw that Concubine Chen was going to follow, she was naturally unwilling to be left behind: "As the princess's grandmother, she is also resolutely relieved." ”
The emperor had no time to take care of them in his heart at this time, but just looked at the princes on both sides who seemed to be brothers, friends and brothers and were silent.
Because of Concubine Chen's remarks, he was already suspicious of the princes, could anyone really dare to do such a heart-wrenching evil thing as killing his brother and nephew?
The emperor hid the hidden pain of losing his grandchildren and the disappointment in his sons, waved his sleeves and got up and said, "Since you can't rest assured, let's go together." ”
Faced with the only homicide that could be seen for the only time in their lives, the young ladies of the family collectively turned into curious babies.
Even if a few young ladies had already witnessed the real corpse on the day of the concubine selection, there was still a yearning for exploration in their apprehension at this moment.
A team of more than 100 people came to Taohuawu in such a majestic way.
The rockery group in the northwest corner of Taohuawu is made up of a large number of rugged mountain stones, and the deep hole that can be entered by hollowing out is like a labyrinth, if you are not familiar with the path here, I am afraid that it is easy to get lost after entering.
The entrance of the cave where the prince is hiding is not remote, it is actually facing the avenue from which it came, and it is really just sitting at the entrance of the cave to avoid the sun and enjoy the flowers.
The Emperor's Imperial Retreat had stopped far from the entrance of the cave, and along the way he had suppressed his anger, and his heart was even more suppressed by the deepening suspicion of the princes.
He glanced at Hua Shuyue and said coldly, "I'll leave it to you." ”
Hua wrote the order of the leader of Yuedun, and asked the maid to carry the soft sedan chair to the entrance of the cave, Ru Huan and Yulin Xiuze immediately followed quickly, and the county lord of Fengru hesitated slightly, and then walked at the end.
The second prince and the second princess hurriedly pushed away a few people and squeezed into the cave, and the two of them saw the corpse of the palace maid at the entrance of the cave, but they heard Hua Shuyue's cold voice without a trace of temperature sounded: "If you want to find the real murderer, you will retreat!"
Yu Linxi's eyes trembled and immediately stopped, while the second imperial concubine glared at Hua Shuyue with an angry face and scolded: "You dare to be so disrespectful to this imperial concubine?"
Ru Huan saw Hua Shuyue's full disdainful indifferent eyes, knowing that he would definitely not explain his doubts, and being delayed by the imperial concubine would only delay the time to investigate the case.
So she slowly stepped forward and whispered to the second imperial concubine: "If the prince and the imperial concubine enter the cave, it will destroy the footprints or evidence left at the scene, which is really not conducive to locking up the suspect, and I hope the two of you can bear with it." ”
Yulin Xiuze saw Ru Huan helping Hua write the moon, and a trace of imperceptible displeasure flashed in his beautiful eyes.
The second imperial concubine frowned, and then hesitated to take a step inward before stopping, her eyes were filled with sad tears, as if she was just staring at the cave without giving up.
The eldest princess probed her brain for a while, and she came to the entrance of the cave with great anticipation, but she looked back at her father, and saw that his former loving look had been replaced by fierce words, and she couldn't help but feel a little fear in her heart.
The other princes and the children of the family sat on the round benches brought by the palace people, some of them bowed their heads in contemplation as to guess who the criminals were, some looked around to see the expressions of the princes, and even raised their chins vigorously to peek into the dark cave.
