Chapter 175: Suicide

Li Chengqi asked, and he blamed Shen Yan for not making a big fuss. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't want his beloved woman to enter the palace with many doubts and even many speculations, and fall into the gossip of murdering the prince. He thought that except for the nurse of Huaqing Palace, who intended to blame Shen Yan, no one else said that the second prince almost fell to the ground was related to her, and she could not take it seriously, he didn't expect that she would ask the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate her as a suspect.

"The emperor thinks this matter should not be investigated?" Shen Yan only knew that Li Chengqi thought he was making a big fuss, but she didn't know that he was actually trying to protect her because he objected, so she was immediately a little angry, and couldn't help but ask him coldly, and said, "Doesn't the emperor think it's weird?" Huaqing Palace, a little nurse, where did she have the courage to frame me, the queen of the West Palace, who has won the emperor's favor? ”

"You mean......" Li Chengqi was startled, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "It must be because the second prince's nurse was frightened at that time and wanted to blame and steal her life." ”

"If it were that simple, what if not?" Shen Yan looked at Li Chengqi and analyzed with him unhurriedly, "If not, the emperor doesn't want to know who is behind her?" How could that person be so cruel to the second prince? Someone wants to murder the prince and blame the Queen of the West Palace, such a big case should be handed over to the Criminal Department for thorough investigation, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

"Yan'er, what you said is not unreasonable, but the reason why I oppose a thorough investigation of this matter by the Criminal Department is actually because I am afraid that the matter will be big and those gossips will be unfavorable to you." Li Chengqi took Shen Yan's hand and took her to sit down on the soft collapse, intending to persuade her again.

Shen Yan understood his scruples, but still said: "If someone really targets me, gossip has already grown. Instead of covering it up. It's better to shake it out and give an explanation to the people of the world. lest there be so many suspicions. Your Majesty," she spoke softly. Asked softly, "Did you say that?" ”

"Why do you still call me Emperor and use honorifics for me?" Lee Seung-kee is aware of this.

Shen Yan knew that he would no longer dwell on the previous topic, that is, he would allow it, and as soon as he was happy, he smiled and played with his fingers, and said, "The emperor calls himself me, and I will forget." ”

"Okay," Li Chengqi hugged her. "In the future, I will be before you, and I will be me. I will remember, and so will you. ”

"Hmm." Shen Yan nodded in response.

Immediately, Li Chengqi instructed Yuan Ji to send an order to the Criminal Department and let the Criminal Department send someone to thoroughly investigate the case of Huaqingdian.

This matter was taken seriously by the emperor, and the criminal department did not dare to slack off, and the case was quickly filed. and sent someone into the palace to investigate the matter.

The person who came was a foreigner named Guo Xuan from the Criminal Department. Yuan Ji told Shen Yan that although this Guo Xuan's official position was small, he was a delicate person. There is a long way to investigate cases. However, he is proud of his ability to detect cases, so he is a little arrogant. Although he was on an errand in the criminal department, he was not likable. If it weren't for the protection of the criminal department who respects and loves talents, he would have been excluded long ago. This time, he was able to enter the palace to investigate the case of Huaqing Palace. It was also recommended by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

When Guo Xuan came to the West Palace to see Shen Yan, it was already noon. Because the six girls had not woken up because they had fallen on their heads, Li Chengqi had come to Shen Yan's place in the morning and went to the Lingying Hall again, and Shen Yan had to see Guo Xuan alone at this time.

Guo Xuan looks the same age as Li Chengqi, that is, he is in shape, and he is as tall and majestic as Li Chengqi. His skin was dark, and he looked more and more burly. His facial features are marked, and although his beauty is not enough to capture people's souls, he is also handsome and magnificent. However, even in the face of Queen Xigong, there was still a bit of arrogance hidden in his eyes.

Listening to Shen Yan tell what happened in Huaqing Palace, he didn't ask a word, so he said: "Weichen will go to Huaqing Palace and see the nurse." He clearly had the intention of underestimating the case.

In his heart, he must have thought that this matter was just a boring trick played between the women of the harem, right? Thinking of this, Shen Yan couldn't help but look serious, and respected him "Lord Guo". He lowered his eyebrows and listened to his ears, but he didn't hear Shen Yan speak for a long time. He couldn't help but raise his eyes, secretly peeked, and saw a delicate face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and angry but not angry, he unconsciously felt a little jealous in his heart.

His head was lowered, and he thought: In the end, it is the queen who is high, whether it is the saint who won the country, and the woman who spares no effort to support him behind her back, beautiful and noble, but also majestic, not to be underestimated.

"What do you command?" He asked cautiously.

Shen Yan said: "If the nurse told you that she was in a hurry and was afraid of being punished by death, so she blamed the palace, how should you handle this case?" ”

Speaking of this issue, Guo Xuan couldn't help but raise his head confidently and said slowly: "How could Weichen hastily settle a case based on the words of one person? Rest assured, Weichen should start from the micro, first find out what the nurse usually does, and then make a judgment. ”

Shen Yan smiled with satisfaction, waved her hand slightly, and said, "You go", and asked Guo Xuan to go to Huaqing Hall to check.

Guo Xuan, who walked out of the West Palace, thought about his thoughts, and couldn't help but turn around and take a closer look at the magnificent West Palace Palace. There are rumors about Shen Yan in the entire city of Gyeonggi, and he has heard a lot. However, it seems that it was not until this moment that he understood how their emperor was not satisfied with a serious empress, and he wanted to set up a western empress.

When he came to Huaqing Palace, after he identified himself to Jiao Huaiyu, he asked to see the nurse of the second prince Li Huan. As Shen Yan expected, the nurse no longer insisted that Queen Xi did not hold the child well, but admitted that she did not hold the child well, and only because she was confused and anxious for a while, she thought of marrying Queen Xi.

"Master Guo," Jiao Huaiyu stepped forward after hearing this, and said easily, "This has confessed, do you think there is anything else to investigate?" Bengong has already said that it is this cheap maid who is timid and afraid of things, so she wants to blame Queen Xi. Alas," she sighed, she continued, "the Queen of the West is really making a big fuss this time. ”

Guo Xuan only smiled, and then asked the nurse: "Do you know that you framed the Queen of the West Palace and committed the crime of beheading?" ”

When the nurse heard the word "beheading", she didn't seem to be afraid, as if she was ready to die. She said: "The slave knows that she is guilty, but she begs to die, and she still wants to ......" She looked at Jiao Huaiyu, suddenly knelt on the ground, and immediately begged like rain of tears, "I hope that the slave will forgive the slave and the maid for their unintentional mistake and let go of the slave's family." ”

Jiao Huaiyu obviously didn't expect that this slave would kneel in front of him at this time, begging for such a thing, and couldn't help but turn pale. However, she thought about it for a moment and quickly said, "You get up." Fortunately, the Queen of the West caught the second prince in time, and the second prince was fine, otherwise, how could this palace let your family go? Then she turned away and looked no longer at the dying man.

The nurse fell to the ground, thanked Dade, kowtowed to her several times, thanked her for her kindness, and then got up. Her expression was full of calmness towards death.

"Guifei Niangniang," Guo Xuan finally said, "Can Weichen bother Niangniang to make an edict and let all the palace people in Huaqing Hall gather in front of the palace?" ”

"What else are you going to do?" Jiao Huaiyu was a little unhappy to look at him.

"I'll find out later." Guo Xuan was afraid that if he said what he was going to do, someone would take precautions in advance, so he sold it.

He came to Huaqing Hall to follow the emperor's order, and Jiao Huaiyu didn't dare not cooperate with him to do things. Soon, she asked all the palace people in Huaqing Hall to be called to the front hall.

Seeing these palace people, Guo Xuan didn't say a word, but stepped forward and whispered to these palace people. When he started talking to the sixth person, Jiao Huaiyu couldn't hold her breath, and she asked dissatisfiedly: "Master Guo, how long will it take for you to make a fool of yourself?" ”

"Niangniang, don't be impatient." Guo Xuan was not in a hurry, and continued to whisper to the palace people. After talking to more than 20 palace people in Huaqing Palace one by one, he waved his hand and asked these palace people to be busy and what to do.

"Lord Guo can explain now, what did you say to those palace people, right?" Jiao Huaiyu was really a little impatient.

Guo Xuan smiled and bowed his hand, and only then did he tell her: "Weichen is a talent, ask these palace people about what the nurse usually does." They all said that the nurse is a cautious person, rarely makes mistakes in doing things, even if she makes a mistake, she never escapes responsibility, and even when others make mistakes, she will kindly take the blame and suffer for others. How can such a person blame the Queen of the West in a hurry? ”

"This ......" Jiao Huaiyu blinked his eyes a few times helplessly, and finally turned his head sideways, not daring to look directly at Guo Xuan's eagle-sharp eyes and said, "How can there be a certain number of this?" Suddenly, she raised her chin slightly to look at him, and argued, "Serving the prince carelessly, I almost fell off the prince, but it is a capital crime." In the face of death, no matter how noble a person is, it is possible to give birth to the heart of a villain. ”

"What the mother said is also reasonable." Guo Xuan didn't argue with him, and saluted respectfully, "Then Weichen won't bother Niangniang much, and Weichen will go to get the evidence on the side." ”

Side evidence? Jiao Huaiyu couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, but before she could say anything, a palace person came to report in a panic: "Niangniang, Master Guo, the nurse committed suicide in fear of sin." ”

Soon, Shen Yan in the West Palace also heard the news of Huaqing Palace's nurse "committing suicide in fear of sin".

At that time, Wei Min was in Shen Yan's hall, drinking tea and chatting with Shen Yan. Hearing the news, she and Shen Yan were silent for a while.

"But I don't know if it was suicide in fear of sin, or if someone deliberately murdered him." Shen Yan said abruptly.

"Sister......" Wei Min actually didn't say a word in her heart, and when the matter came to this point, she couldn't help but say it. She first asked everyone in the room to step back, and then asked Shen Yan: "My sister suspects that the second prince is not Huaiyu's biological flesh and blood?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan's eyes widened, but she just smiled and said, "I just think that tiger poison doesn't eat children." ”

"Don't hide it from my sister, I have long been suspicious of Huai Yu's birth of the second prince."

"Oh?" In this regard, Shen Yan was interested in listening to it, "What is my sister's words?" (To be continued.) )
