Chapter 252: Induction One

VIP chapter content,

The Wugan people didn't dare to stay any longer after the Queen Mother came, and they all dispersed. www.biquge.info The palace people in the Yuxiang Palace occasionally sobbed a few times to express their heartache for the death of the master, and there were also weak legs and feet hiding in the corner, for fear that they would be involved in the funeral of the master, Li Shuci looked around, and saw a palace maid who cried the most fiercely kneeling under the porch, crying from time to time "Niangniang, you died so miserably!" and other words.

"That palace maid is the Huancao next to Concubine Wei. ”

Zheng Yi nodded yes.

Li Shuci glanced at Huancao again, and felt that something seemed wrong about her, but after staring carefully for a long time, he really couldn't see anything unusual about her. Although she cried not sincerely, it was not surprising that there were a few true feelings between the master and servant in this palace. The fierce crying is just to prove that he sincerely serves his master.

Li Shuci wanted to get closer to Concubine Wei to take a look, but was pulled by the good female official, and the Queen Mother said disapprovingly: "Don't get close, be careful of colliding." Li Shuci had no choice but to stand still, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, but at this time, like others, she was in a fog, and she couldn't figure out the truth at all. Could it be that the Eighth Prince is really young and vigorous, and he did this impulsive act in order to give the noble people hatred?

But could a twelve-year-old spoiled child really have such guts? Where did he get the poison?

But it often feels like it can't prove a person's innocence, all people or things have special exceptions, and they will be affected by some external things, so that some unexpected things happen, so it seems that it is even more difficult to distinguish whether the eighth prince is innocent.

The body of the concubine was temporarily put into the coffin under the will of the queen mother, and the funeral items were also prepared, as for when the funeral will be carried out, it depends on the meaning of the monarch and what the eighth prince can say.

At night, Li Shuci couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, the owl flying out of the window kept cooing, Mu Yun also had palpitations about this kind of bird in his heart, got up and went out to get a stone to beat the bird away, and came back and muttered: "The ghost is not gone, it's really unlucky!"

Li Shuci is not a living bodhisattva, he will not take anyone's affairs into his own hands, although Wei Concubine was unjustly killed, but it has nothing to do with her, there are countless concubines and palace maids who have died inexplicably in this palace, where can they be pitiful? It's just that she always faintly feels that this matter is not simple, and it seems that something will happen later.

Early the next morning, Li Shuci had breakfast with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and routinely said to the Queen Mother's place to say goodbye, and it happened that an attendant came to report the situation of the Eighth Prince.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince stayed in Dali Temple all night, and the whole person was a little stunned, and Lord Yu led the people up and down Dali Temple to wait all night, and he couldn't ask anything. Just say that he doesn't know anything. The chamberlain paused for a moment, and then said: "Later, the Confucian prince went to see the Eighth Highness, and the Eighth Highness came to his senses a little. ”

Li Shuci took the tea with his hand, looked at the waiter, and the queen mother asked: "The eighth has always had a good relationship with his elder brothers, and the fourth is his role model." I guess he said something?"

His Royal Highness said that yesterday afternoon he came out of Qinghua Palace to relax, and saw Huan Cao's girl sneakily returning to Yuxiang Palace from the corner gate behind the palace, His Royal Highness felt strange, so he went up to take a look, and then saw Huan Cao enter the main room, and then there was a scream, His Royal Highness felt that something was wrong, and did not dare to stay, so he wanted to go back, but he didn't expect the corner door to be resisted outside, and he couldn't open it, and the accompanying slave Liu Li was gone. ”

"Where is that Liu Li now, can you be interrogated? Did you say anything?" Seeing that there was finally a third person who could help with this matter, the Queen Mother immediately straightened up and asked.

The chamberlain frowned and shook his head, "Yesterday someone found that Liu Li died in the room, and he also died of poison. Moreover, he was seen secretly appearing near the treasury of Qinghua Palace last night......"

"What!" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "What the hell is going on!"

Li Shuci thought back and forth, on the surface, the eighth prince was moved by the fire because of the noble people again and again, and was repeatedly belittled, and impulsively asked the chamberlain Liu Li to go to the treasury to steal the poison, afraid of leaking his whereabouts, so he killed Liu Li to extinguish his mouth, and then sneaked into Yuxiang Palace to kill Wei Concubine, but he didn't expect that the things that had been calculated before went wrong and were blocked by the people of Yuxiang Palace. Therefore, in the eyes of others, what the Eighth Prince explained to everyone was naturally three parts true and seven points false, and the lies were full of loopholes.

"What did you say?"

"Huaguiren seemed to be sober a lot in the morning, and when he found that the Eighth Prince was not there, he made a fuss again, and the king ordered that the Qinghua Palace be sealed, and no one was allowed to enter and leave at will. As for the eighth prince, he only said that he would continue to interrogate, and if he did not confess the truth, let him continue to stay in Dali Temple. ”

The Queen Mother sighed and waved her hand to let him go down. turned back to Li Shuci and said: "Look, you see, it's all a bad thing, in this harem." Live for a lifetime and make trouble for a lifetime. Now that the prince has actually made the matter of poisoning his mother-in-law, it is not shameful enough. ”

Li Shuci persuaded a few words, and then talked with him, and walked out of the Phoenix Immortal Palace. said to Xia Xing: "You go and inquire, have you had too much contact with people these days Huancao and the Liu Li beside the Eighth Prince." ”

This winter's snow is so urgent, but the sky is clear these days, as if to show that the eighth prince is not wronged at all.

Three or four days passed, Dali Temple sentenced Yu Chengzhi rubbed his bloodshot eyes, waved his hand to send away a group of subordinates, rubbed his forehead and ordered the little servant to take homely civilian clothes, and fetch water to clean his face, only to feel a lot better, he has been staying up here for several nights, but the eighth prince just doesn't spit out, he can only accompany this! These days, don't talk about sleeping, there is no hot air when eating!

After the Shen family's case was concluded, the court officials changed the water, and Yu Fucheng was also mentioned to the Dali Temple for judgment, thinking of being a good official, sharing worries for the king, and being the master for the people.

Alas!

Yu Chengzhi sighed and told the little guy to get some food, and at this moment, the little guy came in to report that the Confucian prince was here. Yu Chengzhi reacted and immediately jumped up and went out to greet him. The Confucian King had a handsome posture and a gentle face, Yu Chengzhi stepped forward and said: "The prince is driving, and the lower officials are far away." ”

"Lord Yu doesn't have to be polite, this king came to see the eighth brother and sent him some food, presumably you can't eat or sleep well here, so I brought your share with you. ”

Corporal Lixian of the Confucian King is famous, and Yu Chengzhi is not surprised, he happily took the food box handed over by the servant next to the Confucian King, and thanked: "Thank you for your concern, the lower official will accompany you in." ”

"No need, Lord Yu still hurried to eat, after staying up for a few days, his body is critical, and the king can enter by himself. ”

Yu Chengzhi didn't insist when he saw this, and when he saw that the Confucian King had gone inside, he sat down to eat. The warm meal greatly stimulated Yu Chengzhi's appetite. Immediately use the meal seriously.

In the deep prison, the eighth prince Jin Yu sat in the corner blankly, the prince is the prince after all, and no one dares to slack off. It is said to be a prison, but in fact it is just a stone room, clean and tidy, and has all kinds of utensils. However, how can this place be compared to the palace of the 'most favored' prince.

He hugged his knees and buried his head and face in the crook of his arm, and the confidence in his heart had been eroded away little by little. At first, he didn't think that he would really be regarded as a real murderer, and the king would definitely find out the murderer in a hurry, and then he would let him out, and he would love him more than before, and maybe he could be kind to his mother and concubine because of this, but he was completely wrong, not only did he not have any life in the past few days, but he also became more and more pressing.

Footsteps could be heard outside. Jin Yu immediately got down and rushed to the iron bar. Squeezed his head between the two fences, wanting to see if Emperor Xuwen had come to pick him up. "Father, is it you! Father!"

The Confucian King paused, thinking that the Eighth Emperor had been beside Emperor Xuwen since he was a child, and the gloom in his eyes flashed, why couldn't he get it in his heart, others could always have it easily. "Eighth brother, it's the fourth brother. His voice was still as elegant and warm as the one he had practiced a thousand times.

"Fourth brother?" Jin Yu was disappointed for a moment, and immediately became happy again, "Fourth brother, do you have a way to save me?"

The jailer opened the cell door and retreated. The Confucian King approached Jin Yu, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "The eighth brother has lost a lot of weight these days, let's eat something first, the fourth brother brings all the food you like." ”

Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at the Confucian King's face that seemed to be a little sad, and said, "Fourth brother...... What did my father say, did my father know that I wasn't the murderer of Wei Concubine?"

The Confucian King was silent for a moment before he said, "Eighth brother, don't think nonsense......"

"Fourth brother, tell me the truth......" Jin Yu was very sensitive at this time, he couldn't get the news from him, everything could only be judged from the look and words of the person who came, and the strangeness of the Confucian King made his heart cool down a little. He leaned against the cold wall and muttered, "How so? impossible...... I didn't kill her......"

"You said that Liu Li was following you at that time, but after you were imprisoned in Dali Temple, someone found him in his own house, and died of poison like Wei Concubine. ”

Jin Yu shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible...... Someone must be trying to frame me, maybe it's Liu Li's dog minion! Fourth brother, you said you would save me...... Fourth Brother ......"

The Confucian King pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, looking at Jin Yu, who had just reached his chest, "Eighth brother, fourth brother must try his best to ......" As he spoke, he spread the meal on the table, "Come, eat something first, it's all what you like to eat." ”

Jin Yu stepped forward and knocked the food to the ground, hugged his knees and buried his head in his arms, and refused to say a word.

The Confucian King sighed and left silently.
