This Qi You accompanied Xibao in a warm room, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who had just received the guidance of the Fifth Prince, Qi Zhe, was already facing the saint.

The criminal department Shangshu had an extremely tormented day and night, although there were a lot of clues, but there was no suspicious person to be found, and the palace was turned inside and out and still found nothing.

Fortunately, Qi Zhe "raised the point" in time, and the Lord Shangshu Wang of the Criminal Department had a direction, but after all, the emperor's son was involved, and this matter still had to be agreed by Emperor Qi Wen first.

Lord Shangshu Wang of the Criminal Department reported the "suspicious points he found" to Emperor Qi Wen one by one.

And Emperor Qi Wen was stunned for a while before he said, "Wang Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" ”

The king of the criminal department said: "Back to the emperor, after a day and a night of investigation, all the clues point to the courtyard of King Shen, Wei Chen is afraid that there are people with bad intentions who intend to murder King Shen or Princess Shen, and Concubine Zhao is just being unprovoked." ”

Emperor Qi Wen said: "You want me to allow you to search the Shenwang Courtyard?" ”

The criminal department Shangshu said: "If you go back to the emperor, you can't say that you will search, but Weichen was ordered to investigate the case, and this clue does point to King Shen, and Weichen also has to investigate." ”

Emperor Qi Wen smiled and said: "Wang Chong, since I have given the order, then you can check how you want, you don't need to care about anyone's identity, I want to only the truth." ”

With Emperor Qi Wen's guarantee, Lord Wang naturally had a bottom in his heart, and he bowed down and said, "Yes, please rest assured that the emperor will do it." ”

With that, Lord Wang withdrew from Emperor Qi Wen's study.

Emperor Qi Wen glanced at Xue Gong and said, "Hey, I'm afraid this matter is not simple!" ”

Gonggong Xue smiled and said: "Master, since you have handed it over to Lord Wang, just wait for the news, presumably there will be no major incident with King Shen." ”

Emperor Qi Wen shook his head and said, "Gonggong Xue, I don't know why, I always feel that something is going to happen, but I can't tell what it is, hey! ”

Xue Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're too tired these days." You see that you finally came out to relax, and you encountered such a worrying thing, and it is indeed easy to worry. ”

Emperor Qi Wen said helplessly: "Maybe, by the way, how is it with You'er?" ”

Xue Gong said fairly: "I just know that Concubine Zhao was rescued, and the details are not very clear." Now Concubine Zhao's courtyard has long been ordered by Prince Yong, and the three circles inside and outside have to be protected, and outsiders can't approach it at all, and this news is still from the imperial doctor sent to Concubine Zhao. ”

Emperor Qi Wen said: "It seems that the girl of the Zhao family is indeed a big fate, such a thrilling situation." I don't have any illusions, I didn't expect her to be rescued. ”

Gonggong Xue smiled: "Yes, Concubine Zhao is indeed a blessed person, otherwise she would not have been taken to heart like this by our King Yong." ”

Emperor Qi Wen said helplessly: "Hey, I really don't know if You'er is so affectionate or bad. ”

Xue Gonggong said with a smile: "Master, the old saying is not that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and you are worried when you are old." ”

Emperor Qi Wen smiled: "Hey, yes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!" Let them be. ”????

By the afternoon, Xibao had already eaten and gone to sleep. Qi You simply washed up and followed Qi Zhe, who had been waiting outside for a long time, to meet with Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Su Wen and the white ape also accompanied him.

Because Qi Zhe had reminded him before, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not have Qi You's situation about Xibao, he just briefly introduced the investigation of this day and the emperor's reaction.

Qi You felt that since his father had no opinions, this matter was naturally easy to handle, but in the end, he was still thinking about the affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Qi You just asked: "Lord Wang, if you can really catch the murderer, what should you do?" ”

The criminal department Shangshu said: "If you go back to the prince, this is in the palace, and if you really catch someone, you can only try it simply." The follow-up matters will have to be carefully investigated after returning to Beijing. ”

Qi You said: "You mean that the person will be detained first and sent to the prison of the Criminal Department"?

Lord Wang said: "Exactly, well, what do you have to build a yì?" ”

Qi You said: "This king doesn't have any opinions, but this matter is naturally as soon as it comes out, the better." ”

Lord Wang said: "That's right. Xia Guan will take someone to the courtyard of King Shen to take a look first, I don't know if the two princes are willing to go together? ”

Qi You sighed and said: "This incident has hurt the king's side concubine, and the king wants to see who has such courage!" ”

Qi Zhe said: "In this case, Lord Wang and this king will also accompany you, after all, if you want to go to the third brother, it may be more convenient for this king to follow." ”

Lord Wang: "Yes." The two princes, please come with the lower officials, please come here. ”

This Qi Shen was feeding the Murong clan to drink medicine, when he heard the servant at the door say: "Lord Wang, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and King Zhe of Yongwang have come to visit, and they have arrived at the gate of the courtyard." ”

Qi Shen's hand holding the medicine bowl paused for a moment, and then continued to scoop a spoonful of medicinal juice and feed it to Murong's mouth and said, "I know, first ask the three of you to go to the small study and wait for a while, saying that this king will go over after feeding the princess medicine." ”

The servant who replied at the door said, "Yes, lord! ”

Murong leaned on the head of the bed weakly and said: "Lord Wang, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the two princes are here, I'm afraid there is something big, you go quickly, just give the rest of the medicine to the maid." ”

Qi Shen was not worried: "I don't care, the entire palace is thoroughly investigating this matter, I'm afraid that they want to ask about something this time, you drink the medicine first, and it's not too late for this king to go again." ”

Murong said, "Let them wait like this, okay?" ”

Qi Shen said: "It's okay, if you are worried, you should talk less, and drink these medicines quickly." ”

Murong didn't speak again, but drank the medicinal juice that Qi Shen fed one by one???

This Qi You, Qi Zhe and Lord Shangshu Wang of the Criminal Department were already waiting for Qi Shen in the small study, and there was a team of guards guarding martial law at the door.

When Qi Shen finished feeding the medicine and changed his clothes, he came to the door of the small study and was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you?" ”

The guard at the door said: "I see King Shen, and the humble duty was brought by the King Shangshu of the Criminal Department to protect the safety of King Shen and Princess Shen." ”

Qi Shen smiled after a moment: "Lord Wang has a heart, so it's hard for everyone." ”

The guards nodded and did not speak, then made a way for Qi Shen to enter the small study.

Qi Shen took a personal attendant into the small study and looked at this posture and said, "Second brother, fifth brother, Lord Wang, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Qi You nodded and said, "Third brother, how is your princess?" ”

Qi Shen smiled slightly: "I just drank the medicine and rested, second brother, for your life-saving grace yesterday, my younger brother thanked this generation of Murong Clan first." ”

Qi You said: "The third brother is polite. ”

Qi Shen said: "Second brother." How's your side concubine? ”

Qi You said: "I just got out of danger, and now I am observing." ”

Qi Shen said: "That's good, that's good." Qi Shen asked, "Second brother, since Concubine Zhao is still observing." Then why don't you stay with her, it's ??? for my brother to come here?"

Qi You said: "I also want to stay by her side to take care of her, but the situation reported by Lord Wang of the Criminal Department makes me more worried, so I came together, as for the specific situation, let Lord Wang talk about it." ”

Lord Shangshu Wang of the Criminal Department took over and said, "Lord Shen is polite. Today, the official was also ordered to investigate the case, and he failed to notify the prince first, and asked the prince not to be surprised. ”

Qi Shen was stunned for a moment and said: "Lord Wang, since it is an investigation, this king will naturally not be surprised, but what is the situation, this king is a little confused." ”

The criminal department Shangshu said: "Lord Shen, it's like this, when the princess was startled, someone saw a maid who could be at the scene. Later, when the lower officials investigated this clue, they found that only you were missing four maids, so this time I always asked about the situation. ”

Qi Shen frowned and said: "It's just for this matter, but it's because the king feels that the four of them have neglected their duties and failed to protect the princess, so they came back yesterday and were directly punished. ”

Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Then Lord Shen, have you found that there are extremely abnormal people among the four of them?" ”

Qi Shen said: "This king didn't pay attention. ”

Lord Wang said: "Did Princess Shen find something abnormal?" ”

Qi Shen said: "The princess has been in a state of fright, and after a little better, the king asked, but maybe she was too frightened." She doesn't quite remember the events of that day. ”

Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "In this way, Lord Shen, do you know where the four maids who were punished by you are now?" ”

Qi Shen smiled: "It's just a few minions, and they've all been punished." How could the king know where they were? ”

Qi You spoke at this time: "Third brother, this matter is not trivial, me and the fifth brother accompanied the criminal department Shangshu to come this time, you should also understand the severity of the matter, if the villain is among the four maids who were punished by you, the consequences will be unimaginable, she dares to target you and me this time." So will it be directly targeted at the father next time, so such a dangerous person needs to be arrested and brought to justice. ”

Qi Shen was surprised: "Second brother, isn't this shocking incident accident? ”

Looking at Qi Shen's appearance, Qi You sneered in his heart, but his face was still worried: "Yes, Lord Wang has found out that the horses ridden by the Murong clan and my family's Concubine Zhao were secretly drugged with poisonous needles, which shows that this incident is no accident." ”

Qi Shen was a little worried: "Then since the poison needle has been detected, is someone trying to harm my princess." ”

Qi You didn't answer again, but Lord Shangshu Wang of the Criminal Department continued: "I'm afraid that yes, that's why Xia Guan is worried, if that villain is really hidden in the maid of Prince Shen, then the safety of you and Princess Shen will be greatly threatened." ”

Qi Shen said: "Among the king's maidservants, what do you mean, even if it is one of the four people, this king has already punished them all, how can it still be among the king's maidservants?" ”

Lord Wang said: "Don't hide it from the prince, it took a day and a night to find such a clue, I have to say that the person who committed the murder is afraid that he is a middle master, and the most afraid of such a person is that she is a thief, and she is afraid that she will not be able to make a plan again, so??"

Qi Shen was stunned for a moment and said, "Who of you said that the villain might sneak back secretly?" ”

Lord Wang said: "It is very likely, after the analysis of the lower officials, it was found that the target of the murderer this time was most likely to be your princess, because only two silver needles with different poisons were found on the white horse." ”

Qi Shen was stunned, he coughed twice unnaturally, and the little guy behind him hurriedly handed the tea to Qi Shen.

Qi Shen took it and took a few sips before he eased up and said, "How could it be, this king and the Murong clan have always been low-key, how could anyone want to put her to death, it's impossible." ”

Lord Wang sighed and said, "Lord Shen, if you say that, the lower officials are even more worried. ”

Qi Shen said: "Why? ”

Lord Wang said: "If you know why someone wants to assassinate Princess Shen, you may be able to find some clues, but now that you don't even know, it may be more like looking for a needle in a haystack to catch this person???" (To be continued.) )
