Chapter 053: Planning and Adaptation (2nd Update)

The prince, who was about to come to the inquisitor to find out the facts of the case, saw the messenger from afar, and saw that he was in a hurry, and that he was groping in his pockets from time to time, and knew that something important was coming, so he hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Do you want to send a letter to the judge?" ”

When the messenger saw that it was the prince, he hurriedly saluted: "Yes." ”

"I'm about to go to the Inquisitor, I'll hand it in for you, so you don't have to wait for a long time." Chu Zican knew that this was an extraordinary time, and every increase in evidence could directly affect the direction of the case, so it was inevitable to be cautious.

In addition, he also vaguely felt that this matter might be related to the queen mother, so he was particularly sensitive when he saw any wind and grass.

"This ......" The sender's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the crown prince, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.

But he is the crown prince, and the messenger doesn't dare not give him face, not to mention, he can't afford to offend him.

Without waiting for the messenger to make a statement, Chu Zican unexpectedly clicked on his acupuncture point and took out the letter in his pocket.

When he had the letter in his hand, he untied the acupuncture points of the messenger and said, "I will take it to the judge now." With that, he walked briskly to the judge's office.

The messenger saw that Chu Zican had been walking into the judge's room, so he left with a nervous mood.

The Inquisitor's office was at the back of the courtyard, so you had to walk through a long corridor to get to it after entering the gate. After Chu Zican entered the door, he immediately hid in the corner, and opened the letter with his hands and feet to read it.

He had wanted to read the contents and then turn them back to the way they were and hand them over to the Inquisitor, but now after reading them, he changed his mind in an instant.

What he had suspected was actually the truth. This incident was really done by the people closest to him.

Chu Zican hurriedly put the letter in his pocket and turned to leave.

The contents of the letter pierced the prince's heart like a knife.

If he wanted to protect his mother, he would have to watch Xizhen be wronged and even lose his life. If you want to save Xizhen. The contents of this letter will have to be made public, and the lives of the queen mother and Liu Shijiao will be at risk.

This trip of more than a month in micro-clothing made him personally realize how difficult it is to be a monarch who can be closely connected with the hearts of the people, but it is so necessary. To be such a monarch, we should respect every life and respect justice, so that it is possible to create a brighter future.

Yes, from this point of view he should publish the truth. is also happy to be innocent, this is just a gesture.

However, when he thought that the letter was about to fall into the hands of the judge, he could not help breaking out in a cold sweat - he still subconsciously wanted to protect the queen mother.

Recall this qiē that the queen mother did for him. He couldn't help but feel full of emotion and sadness.

But I have to admit that she was all for him, although the way it did disgusted him.

The crown prince returned to the East Palace in a distraught.

Lying on his back on the bed, he turned his head to look out the window at the blue sky. The prince's mood was extremely gloomy. For the first time, he developed a disgust with his identity.

Suddenly, the prince thought of something, and ran towards the prison.

"Yun committed suicide in fear of sin." The keeper said to the prince.

The crown prince suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Chu Zihou, who had just learned the news of Yun's suicide, also arrived.

"It's not divination, it's biting your tongue and committing suicide." And the keeper said unto them.

Yun is dead, the most important clue is gone, and Chu Zihou's heart can't help but be anxious.

"Second brother, don't be in a hurry, the clear will clear himself. What's more, the evidence is not enough now, Miss Shen will definitely be fine. The prince walked over and patted Chu Zihou on the shoulder and said.

Chu Zihou nodded.

…………………….

As the saying goes: Skynet is magnificent but not leaky. But he said that since the letter was intercepted by the prince, the messenger had been very uneasy, so the next day he quietly came to the inquisitor to confirm whether he had received the letter, and the inquisitor was shocked when he heard it: "I didn't receive it at all, I didn't even see the prince in person yesterday." ”

This can make both of them anxious.

But the crown prince has a special status, and none of them dares to offend him, how can they get the letter from him? Obviously, there must have been some important clues in that letter, otherwise the prince would not have taken it away.

But the inquisitor knew very well that he had to get it in order to find a breakthrough in the case.

Seeing that something new was about to happen, but it was in the hands of the messenger, the inquisitor was so angry that he almost jumped.

The inquisitor slapped his palm on the table, causing the messenger to kneel down and beg for mercy.

But the inquisitor dismissed him anyway.

For now, he had to find a way to get the letter from the prince's hand.

In case the prince tore up the letter, he had to act as soon as possible, preferably today.

But how easy is it to get it from the prince?

The Inquisitor paced the room incessantly.

He racked his brains for a long time, and his scalp was about to break, but he still couldn't think of a feasible solution.

If this continues, maybe the prince has already torn up the letter? The Inquisitor thought anxiously. However, the more anxious he became, the more clueless he became, so he simply left the house and went outside to sober up.

As he walked down the path, the judge's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a solution.

He immediately returned to the house and asked someone to accompany him to the prison to find Shen Xizhen.

Xi Zhen, who had already calculated the trend of things, was contemplating at this time, and when she heard his footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes as bright as a mirror.

After listening to his request, Shen Xizhen said calmly: "I am willing to help you with this, but I have a request." ”

"You say." When the Inquisitor heard that she was willing to help, he relieved himself and responded briskly.

"Let King Qingping come and meet with me tonight, but don't let anyone else know." Xi Zhen said.

"No problem." The inquisitor gladly answered.

Xi Zhen once again concentrated on the exercise and meditated on the tips.

About half a cup of tea. Xi Zhen figured out where the letter was currently - it was still on the prince's body, and it had not yet been torn up.

Then, the next thing is to find a way to get it from the prince.

This stumped the judges.

Hee-jin smiled again. Say, "I have a way." With that, he quietly told the judge of his thoughts.

After hearing this, the judge suddenly realized that he would immediately go about it.

…………………….

Chu Zihou changed into the clothes of the prisoner and strode towards the prison.

Soon, he saw Shen Xizhen sitting on a dilapidated wooden bench.

Her expression was quiet, her eyes closed, as if she were meditating.

Looking at such a beautiful place, she has to live in such a dirty place, and she has to face an unpredictable future. He couldn't help but feel sad.

"Ah Zhen." He called her name softly, and his eyes instantly filled with tears.

Now that Yoon is dead, the case has come to an unprecedented standstill. He was sorry for his inability to do anything. But he never gave up and has been working hard to find a breakthrough in the case.

He's going to face it all with her.

He held out his hands to her.

Hearing his voice, Hee Zhen immediately opened his eyes and looked at him.

"You're here." She smiled and got up and walked over to him.

Even though she was separated by a thick iron bar, she immediately stretched out her hands to hug him. The two of them hugged each other tightly in an instant.

The familiar sense of happiness suddenly rippled in the hearts of the two.

"You've been wronged during this time. I'm sorry! Chu Zihou stroked her much thinner face and said.

"No, I don't feel wronged, it's the best arrangement."

"You're always so open-minded and optimistic, you're really a role model for me." Chu Zihou said lovingly and kissed her forehead.

"I have a few things to tell you." Shen Xizhen knew that the two couldn't meet for too long, so he immediately took out a letter from his pocket.

Chu Zihou hurriedly put the letter in his pocket.

The prisoner walked in and announced: "It's time, please leave King Qingping quickly." ”

Chu Zihou immediately cupped her face with both hands and imprinted a deep kiss on her lips. Then leave.

……………………

After returning to the dormitory, Chu Zihou immediately asked Gonggong Zhang to lock the door tightly. After ensuring the safety of the surroundings, Chu Zihou opened the letter that Xi Zhen wrote to her:

One or four days later, there will be a usurpation in the palace, and the emperor is very likely to wake up on that day, and you will find a way to prevent the crown prince from ascending the throne, which is also the only way to save the prince's life.

Second, go and tell my mother that I am safe in it, and let her feel at ease. Please don't tell my two brothers about this, so as not to worry.

Third, the palace maid who was placed next to the emperor can be arrested and interrogated.

Chu Zihou's face suddenly flashed with surprise.

He closed the letter, carefully tore it up, and then arranged for someone to monitor the whereabouts of the crown prince, Liu Shipai, and Empress Wenci.

At the same time, he also arranged for someone to secretly arrest the palace maid for interrogation.

The palace maid thought that the matter had been exposed, and hurriedly confessed that she had been placed to monitor the conversation between the emperor and Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen.

Chu Zi clenched his fists hatefully.

"In the past few days, you will still go back to serve the emperor as usual, and wait for my fate in a few days." Chu Zihou said to her.

She was ordered to retreat.

That afternoon, the maid quietly jumped into the lake in the back garden.

It was only in the evening that everyone found her, and by this time she was no longer breathing.

Empress Wenci, who learned the news, was both happy and afraid, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Liu Shipai to come.

"The palace maid is dead." When Liu Shiji came in, Empress Wenci hurriedly said to him.

"Oooh. It's good that there is one less witness. Liu Shipai said.

"But don't you think she's died a strange death?"

"It's not difficult to understand, she was afraid that things would be exposed, so she committed suicide in fear of sin."

"I wish it was, but I didn't think it would be so coincidental."

"What does the queen mean ......"

"I'm worried that someone knows something."

"If she doesn't say it, who can know, Queen, you think too much, relax."

"Well, so many things have happened lately, how can I relax?" Empress Wenci said with a sigh.

"Yes, since this Shen girl was arrested and put in a prison cell, things have become more and more out of control." Liu Shijian also feels the same way. (To be continued......)
