She wanted to talk, but she didn't know where to start.

After a long time, Mother Dou said in the smoke: "Madam, Yuyin's matter ......" The person ran away without a trace, it was her dereliction of duty and she should be punished, even if Mrs. Yun Zhen didn't say it, she should also mention it on her own.

However, Dou's mother didn't expect that before she finished her words, she asked Mrs. Yun Zhen to interrupt.

Mrs. Yun Zhen leaned lazily on the couch, her tone was a little cowardly, and her voice became more and more hoarse: "I'm tired, let's postpone anything and discuss it." ”

When Dou's mother heard this, she was stunned, the corners of her mouth were twinning, and she only responded to the word "yes" in the end, she ordered someone to prepare hot water and personally serve Mrs. Yun Zhen to change clothes and wash. The weather is getting colder, but the clothes worn by Mrs. Yun Zhen are still very thin, and they are still summer clothes.

She took off her outer shirt for Mrs. Yun Zhen, and then went to her middle coat, and her movements suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she didn't move, Mrs. Yun Zhen frowned.

Dou's mother came back to her senses in a trance, didn't even say anything, and helped her into the bathtub. The heat was pervasive, obscuring her vision, but Mother Dou always seemed to be able to see Mrs. Yun Zhen's bare back.

It's only been a month, how did Madame lose so much weight?

The white back muscles have lost their former brilliance, if they used to be like a lustrous jade, now they are just pale stones, hard and cold. Her shoulders were much thinner, and the butterfly bones on her back stood arrogantly, making her more and more indifferent.

The confusion and suspicion in Dou's mother's heart all turned into astringency at this moment.

The world only saw Mrs. Yun Zhen living a glamorous and wanton life, but they didn't know behind it. Full of sadness and bitterness. She has survived for many years, and now, she still can't stand it after all.

Mother Dou thought so, her nose was sour, her eyes were red, and she lowered her head.

After bathing, Mrs. Yun Zhen fell asleep. That night, it was quiet in Qianzhong Garden, and she never said anything to see others, whether it was the housekeeper's third wife. It's still even the second master and Ruosheng's father and daughter. She didn't mention it at all.

But this slightly eerie calm is limited to the Pingkang Fang house.

At night, the sky is sparsely moonlit, the wind is light and soft, and it is a pleasant and pleasant good weather. But the imperial city is overhead. But it was as if a rain was coming. It was already dark clouds, and all that was needed was lightning and thunder.

Emperor Jialong went out and spent a few days idle. When he returned to the palace, he couldn't rest, so he ordered someone to come over with a large pile of folds, and he opened the instructions one by one. Looking at it, he saw the excerpt played by Yang Xian of the Criminal Department, and looked at it carefully, the red pen in his hand trembled slightly, he suddenly became angry, threw the fold and the pen to the ground together, and said angrily: "Pass the prince to come!" ”

Seeing this, the big eunuch who was waiting by the side jumped his eyelids, and hurriedly retreated, so that someone could pass on the prince.

At this time, the night was already thick, the prince had already rested, and after receiving the emperor's order, he hurriedly got up from the woman's bed, changed his clothes and went to the imperial study. Along the way, he thought worriedly that Emperor Jialong passed him late at night, and I was afraid that nine times out of ten it was for that confused case.

He was so angry that he grinded his teeth, his face changed, and he was unlucky.

But something even more unfortunate was waiting for him later, and as soon as the prince entered the door, he called a piece of Chengni inkstone flying in front of him to hit his shoulder impartially, and he screamed out in pain. He immediately walked away and knelt down in front of the table: "Father's anger! ”

Emperor Jialong, who was sitting on the wide chair behind the table, heard this and sneered: "I passed you late at night, do you know what it is for?" ”

"Erchen knows." The prince poured beans and told the story again.

Emperor Jialong's anger was a little less: "Just a servant, you can't manage it, how should you govern the country in the future?" ”

As soon as the prince heard that the hat was buttoned up too much, he was so wronged that it should have snowed in June, and he kowtowed again and again: "It's the incompetence of the sons, and the father is worried." ”

As early as after the body of the little eunuch was found, he went to find Lu Lizhan and scolded King Yu for doing it, but Lu Lizhan said that this matter did not necessarily come from King Yu, if King Yu knew that they were going to pick someone to send to the Criminal Department, he would definitely not get another corpse out. When a person dies, the clue is broken, and these alone can make Emperor Jialong annoyed with the prince, what else is there?

This corpse doesn't look like King Yu's means.

He swore by it and was very sure, and although the prince was suspicious, he was willing to believe it.

But if it's really not King Yu, things will be difficult.

The person who digs the pit hides in the shadows, and no one knows who it is, and no one knows what the other party will do again.

It is because the prince can only take one step at a time, and Emperor Jialong trained him, and he was like a puppy, lying there and letting him train.

Sure enough, just as Lu Lizhan taught him when he was a child, Emperor Jialong came and went, and when he saw him obediently admit his mistakes, there was a big fire in his heart, and it slowly went out. Hitting cotton with an iron fist is really boring.

At last, the prince got up from the ground, respectfully about to leave, and took a step, when he suddenly turned back and hesitated. Emperor Jialong saw it clearly and immediately asked, "What is the matter?" ”

The prince hesitated and said, "That little eunuch is not a subordinate of Erchen, but he has a waist card on him. ”

Emperor Jialong looked at him with a torch, and did not say whether he believed or did not believe his words, but said: "I will order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

Early the next morning, he gave an order that the case would be solved no matter what.

For a while, this case, which no one cared about, suddenly became a major event that attracted the attention of the capital.

Even He Xian couldn't help but come to ask Su Yu how the emperor cared about the death of the little beggar.

Su Yu sneered and said, "The emperor naturally doesn't care about the death of the little beggar, all he cares about is the prince." ”

The case involves the prince, so naturally it must be thoroughly investigated.

Su Yu's top boss Yang Xian didn't know that Emperor Jialong's appearance was due to Su Yu's behind, and thought that his letter was beautifully written, so he immediately put up a posture and dialed people to send them out, and it was the monks who thoroughly investigated the Banshan Temple, and they searched for those beggars all over the capital to ask questions.

But in one day, the news spread all over the huge capital.

The city gate is strictly guarded, and if the murderer wants to escape, he can't.

At night, the number of officers and men patrolling back and forth on the long street also increased considerably.

Someone panicked.

But there are also people who are not afraid at all.

Because of this lack of fear, those who were already afraid became even more afraid.

Xue Gonggong knew that no matter how much he investigated this matter, it would be impossible for officers and soldiers to rush into the princess's mansion to interrogate, but if a person did something wrong, he was afraid that the ghost would knock on the door, and he was so weak and at a loss.

But the eldest princess of Fuguang still had to blame him, and she made her own opinion, killing the little eunuch was not counted, but she dared to frame the prince.

Xue Gonggong cried, and the slave thought that since someone was suspicious of His Royal Highness the Prince, it was better to simply push everything to that room, and we could get rid of it.

The eldest princess raised her hand and slapped it. (To be continued......)
