After listening to the emperor's words, Chang Gonggong was like an initiation.

Thinking of the rhetoric of Mrs. Wu and others just now, it was obviously carefully designed, and there was a posture of vowing not to give up until the goal was achieved, and the Queen Mother was helping from the side......

Come to think of it, if the emperor exposed all this on the spot, those people would not give up.

Rather than facing their more elaborate comeback, it is better to take a closer look at this incident first.

Gonggong Chang asked tentatively: "Has the emperor thought about the candidate for this investigation?" ”

The emperor still closed his eyes and asked rhetorically: "Tell me first, is there any suitable candidate?" ”

Gonggong Chang was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out what the emperor meant: "Since the person is locked up in the Criminal Department, it is better to let Lord Lang Di, the servant of the Criminal Department, go and investigate......

He proposed, carefully observing the Emperor's reaction.

I saw that the emperor still didn't open his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he laughed, and said, "You understand my thoughts!" ”

"I locked people up in the Punishment Department out of protection. But the waiter of the Criminal Department and Jiang Xuan are a little related after all, and it doesn't hurt to guard it, if he is allowed to preside over the trial, it is inevitable that there will be gossip. The Emperor said slowly.

Chang Gonggong's suggestion was rejected, but instead of being half frustrated, he felt more confident.

"The minions are dull, far less thoughtful than the saints."

The emperor paused for a moment, then opened his eyes and ordered: "You go and find Chu Qing, he is a relaxed and moderate person, and he can suppress those who are on the sidelines." I think it's the right person! ”

Chang's father-in-law hurriedly promised to retire on an errand.

The Emperor quickly called out to him.

"It's not a hurry, let him come over early tomorrow morning!" The Emperor suddenly thought again. "You'll have to be there when he comes."

Father-in-law Chang was slightly stunned, not understanding why he was still there.

The emperor asked, "Just now, Mrs. Jingyuan still has that ...... Wu Qiniang, do you remember what they said? ”

"Remember." Chang Gonggong replied.

"That's right! When Ming'er Chu Qing came over, you relayed it to him! The emperor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "I saw those two or three just now, all of them are from the Wu family." I only have a headache, where do I remember what they said! I only knew that they said that Jiang Xuan deliberately frightened Marquis Jingyuan...... It's a shame they figured it out! ”

"Jiang Xuan's daughter-in-law, it's also a little interesting! In front of me. He even refused to call Mrs. Jingyuan 'mother', and she was stunned as a 'lady'...... Is her temper a bit similar to when I was young? ”

The emperor's tone was full of playfulness.

Chang Gonggong's heart was a little calm, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. He immediately replied: "Mrs. Shizi is just being blunt. Where can it be compared with the emperor's uprightness and unyielding......"

The emperor smiled silently, and slowly closed his eyes again, concentrating.

Father-in-law Chang stood aside and stopped making a sound.

However, Lu Qingrong is not so leisurely.

As soon as she came out of the Diqin Zheng Palace, her heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and her thoughts were chaotic. I can't figure it out for a while.

Mrs. Wu's accusations are full of loopholes.

Lu Qingrong definitely didn't think that the emperor imprisoned Jiang Xuan because of this.

But if it weren't for that. And for what?

It has always been the unique right of the superior to play on the topic.

It's just that Lu Qingrong racked his brains, and he couldn't think of anything that Jiang Xuan had offended the emperor.

Is there anything else going on that you don't know?

Puzzled, Lu Qingrong involuntarily slowed down.

She didn't leave the palace directly, but turned around and went to the harem to ask to see Cheng Concubine Niangniang.

Lijuan didn't ask her to wait any longer, and immediately sent someone to invite her in.

Lu Qingrong didn't see it, and told what happened in the Qinzheng Hall just now, and at the same time mixed with his own incomprehension.

"I really have a lot of questions in my heart, and it is difficult to be self-consistent, so I just want to ask Niangniang for advice or two, I don't know where the emperor is dissatisfied with the prince?"

Lu Qingrong asked directly.

Lijuan didn't think it was wrong, and thought about it seriously in her heart.

"I'll tell you the truth, these days, the emperor is in poor health, and he hasn't been to my palace for many days." Lijuan was quite helpless, "If something happens these days, I'm afraid I don't know......"

In the middle of her words, Lijuan suddenly paused and remembered something.

"Speaking of which, there is something that I don't know if it is related." Lijuan said honestly, "I used to be an errand in the palace back then, and I met many people in the Fengning Palace, and some of them were good, and they mentioned something to me a few days ago. ”

"It is said that many days ago, Mrs. Wu went to Fengning Hall for two consecutive days to ask for peace, and the next time, she also specially picked the time for the emperor to ask for peace...... It's just that the emperor came to me a few times later, and he didn't see anything abnormal, so I didn't think much about it. ”

Lijuan did not avoid taboos, and directly told Lu Qingrong all the words she heard at the beginning.

Hearing the end, Lu Qingrong began to panic a little.

Mrs. Wu's mind is really vicious!

Making a fuss about Jiang Xuan and Lijuan is indeed a way to get twice the result with half the effort.

The emperor is a suspicious person, and the affairs of men and women are often the most difficult to explain.

No matter how much Jiang Xuan paid attention to avoiding suspicion at that time, Lijuan lived in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion after all, and although there were a large number of Yulin Guards in charge of guarding, they were all Jiang Xuan's subordinates.

Mrs. Wu didn't want to show her face, she just wanted to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart, it didn't matter if she believed it or not, as long as she had doubts, this kind of seed might be able to take root and sprout when she could......

Lu Qingrong kept his eyebrows locked.

Lijuan saw it in her eyes, and she was also anxious: "Otherwise, I'll go and persuade the emperor to ......"

"Don't!"

Lu Qingrong hurriedly stopped: "If those provocative words really worked, if you intercede in the past, not only will you not be able to save the world, but you will also go around yourself......"

Lijuan knew that she had lost her words, and her face was immediately full of apologies.

Lu Qingrong continued: "After the mother's mention, I finally have some clues in my heart. I hope that Niangniang can pretend not to know about this matter, and don't mention it in front of the emperor! ”

Lijuan nodded solemnly.

Lu Qingrong didn't stay long, and left with a lot of heart.

Walking to the palace gate, she calmed down a little, got into the carriage, and pondered every word of the emperor in the palace just now.

Just when the carriage had already driven back to Rong'en Street, Lu Qingrong suddenly ordered: "Don't go back to the house first, go to Jinglin Hutong, I want to go to the Lu Mansion!" (To be continued.) )
