Chapter 497: No Plans

(3rd Update!) )

On the eighth day of the fifth month, there were still seven days before Emperor Chongde visited the south of the Yangtze River, and the crown prince Zhu Xuanming vomited blood in the East Palace and fell into a coma.

Subsequently, the Tongyun Palace, the palace of the prince Liangdi Jiang in the East Palace, caught fire. Soon, the Tiger Ben soldiers found Wushisan in the room of the palace maid Qiaolu, who had touched the pillar and died, and Jiang Shi was also unconscious.

These are the news circulating in the palace. In just half a day, these news spread throughout the palace and also outside the palace.

Although these things have happened, there are many doubts inside. No one knows what happened to the prince vomiting blood and falling into a coma, why the Tongyun Palace caught fire, and why the prince Liangdi was involved.

Things are complicated, the silk threads are entangled, and they can't figure it out for a while, including the officials who are now in the Zichen Hall and know the most inside information, they all feel like seeing flowers in a fog, and they can't see clearly in a daze.

After the crown prince vomited blood and fell into a coma, Emperor Chongde ordered to summon the crown prince Zhan Shi Peng Yifang, Dali Temple Qing Shao Lianxing, and Zong Zhengqing Jiang Qin into the palace. Originally, Emperor Chongde also planned to summon Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong into the palace, but later did not give an order.

The matter of the East Palace, when it has not yet been investigated, he does not want to use the political affairs hall.

For this matter, it is enough to have Zhan Shifu and Dali Temple. As for Jiang Qin, he is Jiang Yu's grandfather, how can he not come?

When Jiang Qin heard that the prince's coma was related to Jiuhe Xiang and Wushisan, his breath was already held, and when he heard that Jiang Yu had hidden Wushisan, he couldn't breathe.

The matter is already very clear, Jiuhe incense is made by Jiang Yu, and Wushisan is hidden by Jiang Yu. If it is said that the prince vomited blood and fell into a coma, it has nothing to do with Jiang Yu. Jiang Qin, who is Jiang Yu's grandfather, thinks it is impossible.

However, Jiang Yu is his granddaughter and the crown prince Liangdi, how could she do such a thing? No way, there's absolutely no way she'd do such a thing. Then, there is only one thing left to blame, and the granddaughter was planted by someone to blame!

"Your Majesty, the minister is afraid, but the minister dares to defend himself. A granddaughter wouldn't do that. Ask the emperor to see it! Jiang Qin gasped and opened his mouth to defend himself.

He had to argue that if the prince's vomiting of blood was really related to Jiang Fei, not only Jiang Fei would not be protected. He's going to have an accident too. The Jiang family is also finished.

"Discerning? I will see it. That's why I called the ministers to come. Peng Yifang, Shao Lianxing, the two of you carefully check the situation in the East Palace, I want to know what is going on. As soon as possible! Emperor Chongde ordered.

Find out Zheng Xinglin, interrogate Jiang Fei, and track down Jiuhe Xiang...... Of course, these things were done by his subordinates, and Emperor Chongde only had to wait for the final result.

As for Jiang Qin, Emperor Chongde only wanted to ask him one thing, or something related to Jiuhe Xiang.

After Peng Yifang and Shao Lianyu left, Emperor Chongde asked, "Jiang Qin, I will ask you." Is Jiang Yu good at perfumery? This Jiuhe incense, will she mix it in her mother's house? ”

Almost without thinking, Jiang Qin replied categorically: "The granddaughter of the courtier is good at making incense, but she is not proficient. This Jiuhe incense, she only blended it when she entered the East Palace, and the minister had only heard the name a few times, but she didn't know the shape and aroma of the fragrance! ”

Before entering the Zichen Palace, Jiang Qin had already thought about it: Jiuhe Xiang, that is the business of the prince Liangdi Jiang Yu, not the Jiang family, no matter what happens to this incense, it has nothing to do with the Jiang family!

Emperor Chongde looked at Jiang Qin quietly, and for a moment he couldn't see whether he seemed to believe Jiang Qin's words.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin's back was soaked, and he said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is true!" The emperor can also summon everyone in the courtier's family to come and interrogate......"

His words, under Emperor Chongde's calm gaze, gradually became ineffective. In such a situation, he knew that it was useless to say this, but he also didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Emperor Chongde said, "I know." ”

Got it, know what? Whether he trusts Jiang Qin and the Jiang family or not, only he really knows.

On the other hand, Peng Yifang and Shao Lianxing's investigation did not improve. What they found out was similar to what Emperor Chongde knew.

The extra content is nothing more than that a palace maid and maid once saw Jiang Yu and Zheng Xinglin greeting. Now, Zheng Xinglin is nowhere to be found, and Jiang Yu only complains about wrongdoing, but she doesn't get much.

Even the spices in the treasury of the East Palace couldn't find out why. The whole investigation was stalled as if it was blocked by something, which made Peng Yifang and Shao Lianxing frown.

"Lord Shao, this official thinks that the key to the investigation lies in Jiuhexiang itself. How Wushi San and spices came to the East Palace must be traced clearly. It seems that it is still necessary to ask Jiang. Peng Yifang said.

He was amazed. Originally, according to what His Royal Highness said, the spices in the treasury of the East Palace had already been marked, and as long as he followed the signs, he could find out the five highnesses.

However, the spices in the storehouse were clean, and there were no hands or feet. Even if Peng Yifang had the heart to bite the Five Princes' Mansion, he didn't dare to speak easily. If you rashly pull the clues to the Five Princes' Mansion, a vigilant person like Shao Lianxing will definitely find out that something is wrong.

In this matter, Peng Yifang is unwilling to take any risks on her own.

The only way to do this is to start with the Jiang family, which is why he said this to Shao Lianxing.

Whether His Highness's plan will work or not depends on ...... The Jiang family has a deep affection for His Royal Highness.

After listening to Peng Yifang's words, Shao Lianyu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Chengzhang Hall and interrogate the Jiang family again." ”

Chengzhang Palace, is a relatively remote palace in the East Palace, almost deserted. The Tongyun Palace had been destroyed by fire, and Emperor Chongde ordered Jiang Yu to be imprisoned here until the truth about the prince's vomiting of blood was clarified.

Now, there are tiger soldiers inside and outside the Chengzhang Palace, and there is only one palace maid who was transferred from the Zichen Hall to serve, this palace maid is actually to guard Jiang Yu and prevent her from having an accident.

Anyway, Jiang Yu is involved in the truth of the East Palace. Emperor Chongde was afraid that Jiang Yu would commit suicide or be killed.

As soon as Peng Yifang and Shao Lianyu approached the Chengzhang Palace, they heard a noisy voice. At this time, how could it be so noisy outside the Chengzhang Palace?

I saw that at the gate of Chengzhang Palace, several palace maids were noisy and noisy, and I heard the big palace maid who was the leader of them say: "We came to see Prince Liangdi on the order of Concubine Shuniang, why can't we go in?" ”

Seeing the appearance of this talking palace maid clearly, Peng Yifang's eyes flashed, and her worried heart suddenly settled.

Not long ago, Peng Yifang had seen this palace maid beside His Royal Highness. It turned out that she was the big palace maid next to Concubine Shu!

Now that she has appeared outside the gate of Chengzhang Palace, things will be easy to do.
