The fourth prince was lying on the bed, his eyes were open to the ceiling, his face was faint, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, Eunuch Chen walked in from outside, saluted the four princes, and then said, "Your Highness, the eldest princess has come to see you, do you want to let the eldest princess in?" ”

His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince pulled the quilt to cover his face, and his voice buzzed out of the quilt, saying, "Just say that I fell asleep." ”

Eunuch Chen sighed, but still bent down and said yes, and then went out, and said to the eldest princess at the door with a smile: "Eldest princess, the fourth prince is a little uncomfortable today, why don't you come back tomorrow?" ”

The eldest princess's face was a little gloomy, of course she knew that this was an excuse for the fourth prince not to see her.

She didn't say anything, pointed to the soup cup held by the palace maid behind her, and said: "This is the Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup that I stewed with my own hands, to replenish my body, the fourth brother has just recovered from a serious illness, I have asked the imperial doctor, drinking this is good for the body." You bring this in, and when the fourth brother wakes up, you serve it to the fourth brother. ”

Eunuch Chen said yes, and then took the soup cup from the palace maid's hand.

The eldest princess glanced at the door with some worry and some loss, and then left with the palace people.

After Eunuch Chen watched her leave, he entered the house with the soup.

The fourth prince lay on the bed again and stared at the ceiling, and Eunuch Chen said to him with a smile: "Your Highness, the eldest princess gave you a meal of Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup with her own hands, saying that this is the best way to replenish your body." ”

The fourth prince grabbed the quilt with a little guilt on his face.

He didn't blame Concubine Hu or his eldest sister, but the death of his biological mother made him a little unsure of how to face them.

After a while, the fourth prince sat up from the bed and said to Eunuch Chen, "You give me the soup to drink." ”

Eunuch Chen was happy when he heard this, and hurriedly smiled and said yes a few times, and then asked someone to find a bowl, and took out the soup and handed it to the four princes.

The four princes' eyes turned red while drinking the soup, and after a while, suddenly a tear fell down his cheek into the soup, and the four princes didn't care, and continued to drink the soup.

When Eunuch Chen saw it, he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

The fourth prince shook his head and said, "The soup is so delicious." ”

And at the same time, in the palace of diligent government.

The emperor turned the pages and pages of the investigation on He Meiren's death handed over by Gonggong Wan, the movements of his hands were unhurried, but his face became more and more gloomy, and it was a little cold and frightening.

Gonggong Wan glanced up at the emperor's face, but he didn't say anything, still standing quietly aside.

He Meiren's death, although the results of his investigation are not entirely conclusive, but they are inseparable from Princess Hui, and if they are inseparable from Princess Hui, then King Hui will be involved. Husband and wife are one, even if all father-in-law dare not guarantee that King Hui has nothing to do with this matter, what will the emperor think?

The emperor threw the things in his hand on the table casually, his face was obscure, and said, "There is no need to investigate this matter further, this is the end." ”

Gonggong Wan bent down and said yes, and then said in his heart, it seems that the emperor still doubts King Hui.

The emperor paused for a moment, and then said, "Go and summon King Hui!" ”

Gonggong Wan said yes again, and then went to King Hui's mansion in person to deliver the decree to King Hui.

King Hui entered the palace quickly, without any discoloration on his face, and after entering the Qinzheng Palace, he saluted the emperor, and then said with a smile: "Father, I don't know what is the important thing for you to summon your sons?" ”

The emperor did not speak, looked at him, just looked at him deeply, and then did not have any expression.

Although King Hui was apprehensive, he showed the emperor very calmly on his face.

After a long while, the emperor threw the things on the table in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Look at what is written on the paper, what do you have to explain to me?" ”

King Hui looked at the emperor with some confusion, and then picked up the white paper with black letters written on it scattered on the ground to look at it.

Only two things were written on the paper.

One is that Princess Hui once brought strychnine into the palace, and the guards at the palace gate once smelled the smell of strychnine in Princess Hui's carriage.

The other is that someone once came into contact with the family of the palace maid who brought food to He Meiren, and this person gave the family an objective sum of silver, and took away a bracelet that the palace maid's mother often wore, and then the family left the village where they lived, only to die in the middle of the robbery. And the person who came into contact with the palace maid, identified by the people of the same village, was the son of Princess Hui's nurse.

And Princess Hui's brother has completely disappeared since this incident and doesn't know where to go.

King Hui was a little shocked, He Meiren died of strychnine. With these things, it is enough to make people think that the death of He Meiren is related to Princess Hui.

After reading it, King Hui hurriedly put the paper back on the ground, knelt down, and said to the emperor: "Father, someone must have framed the princess, and the princess and He Meiren have no grievances, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing." ”

The Emperor's voice was still calm, but with anger, and he said, "Did I tell you what your princess did?" ”

King Hui glanced up at the emperor and called: "Father, the emperor ......" King Hui understood that what he said just now did mean that he did not have three hundred taels of silver here and did not confess himself, but he really couldn't say nothing.

The emperor looked at him, but did not speak coldly, waiting for him to continue.

King Hui said: "My father asked his sons to see this, isn't it that he suspects that the princess has something to do with He Meiren's death." The princess is the pillow person of the princess, and she knows best, and the princess has to defend the princess a few words. The testimonies of just a few people don't say anything at all. The guards at the palace gate are not doctors, how can they smell so clearly that the princess has strychnine on her, as for the princess's nurse, the princess's nurse has left the palace since the princess was ten years old. The princess had been in the southwest with her father before marrying her son, and the princess's brother was in the capital, so she didn't have much friendship at all, and the princess didn't know what he did outside.

Nux nux is not a difficult medicinal material to obtain, if you really want to talk about it, Concubine Hu has used strychnine, and the Hu family outside the palace has also purchased a large dose of strychnine. ”

In short, King Hui means just one sentence, if you really want to talk about who poisoned He Meiren is the most suspicious, is that Concubine Hu Shu is not Princess Hui, Concubine Hu Shufei still has a motive to kill, but Princess Hui has no grievances with He Meiren.

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Your ability to quibble is getting bigger and bigger, do you think that if you look closely, I really can't find out?" ”

King Hui knelt on the ground with an awe-inspiring appearance, and said: "Father Emperor Mingjian, although the sons don't know what the princess does on weekdays, if there is conclusive evidence that it is really the princess who did it, the sons will never cover it up, and will personally escort the princess to apologize." If it wasn't for the princess, please ask your father to return the princess's innocence. ”

"What an awe-inspiring and calm King Hui."

If it is found out that it is not Princess Hui, he is a good husband who protects his wife, and if it is finally found out that it is Princess Hui, then he will leave himself clean without knowing it, and Princess Hui will carry the pot.

The emperor continued to look at King Hui and said, "You really don't know anything about what your princess has done? I ask you, does He Meiren's death have anything to do with you? ”

King Hui raised his head suddenly when he heard this, looked at the emperor in disbelief, and then said with a sad face: "I didn't expect that Erchen would be such a person in the heart of his father. (To be continued.) )
