In ancient times, it was really not easy to be a maid.

Not only are people waiting for each other, but there is no time to sleep steadily. Some of the daughter's personal maids are all sleeping on the foot pedals next to the bed. Chonghua really couldn't stand it, so he only approved that there could be a maid to sleep on the smoke cage outside at night. That's it, Chonghua didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear that people outside would hear it.

Luo Chen drove people away with just one mouth. The two of them were left in the room.

"What are you afraid of, I'm here." Luo Chen muttered: "You don't stay up at night, if you want to drink water, I'll bring it to you." ”

Reaching out and holding Chonghua tightly in his arms, a heart can be regarded as more steady.

Chonghua was hugged by him, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. I want to know who the Nine Emperor Princes were hurt by. There is no discrepancy with what she deduced. I was about to look up and ask, but found that Luo Chen had fallen asleep.

Look at his slightly tired sleeping face. Chonghua sighed silently. In modern times, Luo Chen is the age when he is about to go to college. The children at that time were carefree. Enjoy life desperately, and you don't need to worry about food and clothing.

With expectations and yearning for life, he is ready to conquer the world.

But Luo Chen has been busy in the past few days, and everyone has been haggard more than once. At such an age, you have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. Even if such a burden falls on his shoulders, he still trusts him and can't shirk it.

Chonghua sighed, closed his eyes and prepared for bed. Who it is, you can also ask tomorrow. He slept so soundly, he really shouldn't bother him.

Because of his peace of mind, Chonghua soon fell asleep.

Only when the sound of breathing in his ears was even out did Luo Chen slowly open his eyes. The golden eyes shimmered with a cold light in the darkness.

Look carefully at the unsuspecting woman sleeping in her arms. Luo Chen frowned and closed his eyes.

Originally, I planned to ask Luo Chen which version it was at breakfast the next day. But when he got up early in the morning, Chonghua found himself lying alone in bed.

The green kite, who came in to serve her to wash her face, told her that someone had come to the palace in the morning and called Luo Chen. Luo Chen didn't even eat breakfast.

Chonghua's heart sank, could it be that the injury of the Nine Emperor Princes was exposed. Is the family going to have a showdown to discuss whether they need to beat the mandarin ducks next?

This kind of royal thing is too commonplace. Even if the Nine Emperors may not inherit the throne in the future, his concubines will not marry whoever he wants.

Chonghua took a chopstick side dish, sighed and stuffed it into his mouth.

In the Chengqian Palace. The emperor looked at Luo Chen's investigation report in the past few days with a cold face.

"In this way, there are many wolf tamers in the Western Regions." The accident was too sudden. It's inevitable that people will think crookedly. But nowadays, almost every family has losses, and if there is an attempt, they should not attack their own families.

The only possibility is that it was an accident. But the emperor said that he couldn't accept anything for such a reason.

"Father, Xiao Jiu told me about something yesterday. Eighty percent has something to do with this beast's flute control of wolves. Wait for the sons to find out, and then report to the father. Luo Chen twisted his eyebrows and grimaced.

The Emperor nodded. Without conclusive evidence, all is empty talk. But......

"Why do you look so bad?" The emperor felt that there was something wrong with Luo Chen's aura today. How to put it, there is always a feeling of cold murderous aura.

Luo Chen bowed: "It's Erchen's, isn't it." Let my father worry about it. ”

The emperor looked at him and smiled: "What's the difficulty?" Just say it. It's okay. ”

Luo Chen thought for a while and said, "Actually, someone sneaked into Qinghui Garden last night to assassinate Erchen's side concubine. The man has been caught. But that man was a dead man, and he would not obey him. Now in prison, I plan to pry his mouth open even further. ”

The emperor originally thought that it was such a trivial matter as working overtime, but he never thought that someone would assassinate his son's concubine.

"How could anyone assassinate your concubine?" If the emperor was so foolish, he would not have sat as an emperor for so many years.

Luo Chen's way of nature was that any lie in front of his father could be digging his own grave, so he told the truth: "Actually, Erchen doesn't know why someone would assassinate Erchen's side concubine. The side concubine of the son has not gone out of the door since she married in. Except for the summons of the Queen Mother, he never attended any banquet. However, during this spring hunt, she heard the sound of the beast flute and informed her son. Nothing else. ”

When the emperor heard him say this, he wondered in his heart: "Could it be that it is because your concubine exposed the matter of the beast flute controlling the wolf, and people came to retaliate?" ”

This is highly likely. Not only to take revenge, but also to destroy the mouth in it. If Chonghua could hear the whistle all the time, then this trick could not be used lightly.

Luo Chen's face was gloomy, but he thought about another person who was very likely to do something to Chonghua. It's just that there is no evidence, and we have to wait for the man to come out.

Father and son have their own agendas. Suddenly, a eunuch hurried in from outside. Poof, he fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince committed suicide." The eunuch's face was covered with cold sweat, obviously frightened.

The emperor was stunned for a moment and shouted: "What did you say!" ”

The eunuch's head was buckled to the ground, and he replied tremblingly: "Return to Your Majesty, the fourth prince...... Committed suicide. ”

Luo Chen was also taken aback, got up and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Back to the Second Highness, the palace maids came to report just now. said that the four princes didn't know where to take the knife to cut the fruit and cut the veins. ”

Luo Chen wrinkled his eyebrows: "Who has visited the Four Princes today?" ”

If you want to die, you should die when you know that you are missing a leg. Where would it be so long.

The eunuch bowed his head respectfully: "No one went to visit the four princes today. ”

Luo Chen squinted, it seemed that it was not made in a day.

The Emperor was furious by this time. In ancient times, suicide was a great shame. Suicide is also considered a type of homicide. He will go to hell in the future. How could such a scandal occur in the royal family.

"Spread my word, the four princes will not be buried for the time being. Let people look it up. I don't believe that the fourth child committed suicide. "How can a child who is alive and well suddenly disappear. Besides, the fourth prince is not the kind of child with a fragile heart.

Luo Chen pinched his chin, his mind quickly filtering this information.

"Father, son-in-law take a look." At this time, it is useless to think about it, seeing is believing.

The emperor nodded: "You go, you see it clearly, come back and talk back." ”

Luo Chen saluted and left the imperial study. went straight to the Chengfeng Pavilion where the four princes are now cultivating. Because of a broken leg, the emperor left the four princes to stay in the palace temporarily and let the imperial doctor treat his injuries. It's good to see him on weekdays, although it's a little difficult to control the feelings, but the spirit is still good.

It took many days of persuasion to make him give up the idea of committing suicide, how could it have exploded today.

When Luo Chen arrived at Chengfeng Pavilion, the four princes were already dressed. But that hideous expression doesn't look like a face that would only have if you commit suicide anyway.

A man kneeling on the ground. Luo Chen wrinkled his eyebrows and glanced at them.

"Who is serving the Four Princes today? Luo Chen's voice was cold.

Immediately, a little palace maid came out and knelt on the ground in a proper manner: "It's a maid." ”

Luo Chen looked at her coldly and asked, "Is it true that no one came to visit the four princes today?" ”

The palace maid lowered her head: "No one has come to visit the Fourth Highness today. ”

Luo Chen squinted: "What did the Fourth Highness eat today?" ”

The palace maid seemed to recall carefully before replying: "His Royal Highness has not had a good appetite in recent days, and he rarely eats. However, the eldest princess sent a snack, which was very much in line with the appetite of the fourth highness. Ate three pieces. ”

Luo Chen looked at her deeply: "Where's the dim sum?" Take them all. ”

The things sent to the palace are all subject to strict inspection. And it's not just going to send one or two. It must be the whole plate.

Delicate plates are a thing in the palace. The dim sum is also just an ordinary fine point, and there is nothing strange about it. And it was sent by the eldest princess, who dares to say a word.

Luo Chen picked up a piece of snack, looked at it carefully, and took a bite. Sweet but not greasy, it is really a fine thing. Besides, the four princes died by cutting their veins, so it shouldn't have much to do with dim sum. Since it has nothing to do with dim sum, it has something to do with the person who delivers it.

"What? Did the Four Princes commit suicide?! Chonghua was startled, and a needle was plunged into his finger. Suddenly, his face wrinkled in pain.

"Look at you, what are you thinking? How can you be so stupid. Luo Chen gave her a blank look, picked up her blood-oozing fingers and pressed them with a handkerchief.

Chonghua shook his head: "That's not the point. The point is: How could the fourth prince commit suicide? ”

If it was because of a broken leg, then he should have committed suicide a long time ago. How could he wait until the matter was almost investigated, and he chose to commit suicide when the truth was about to come to light. Isn't that weird? It is said that the fourth prince should hate that mastermind very much. Committing suicide without looking at the mastermind is definitely not a reaction that a normal victim would have.

"That's what I thought about too. That's why I suspect it...... On the head of the person who delivers the refreshment. Luo Chen was reluctant to mention the eldest princess. Never looked at each other.

Chonghua nodded: "In this way, Zhou Wenyuan is married to the eldest princess's daughter, right?" ”

Although it seems to have nothing to do with Tongjiang Palace, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no handwriting by Zhou Wenyuan here. There is no basis, no reason. Chonghua feels this way.

"Yuwen Yaoqin?" Luo Chen has never paid attention to Zhou Wenyuan's affairs, and no one has inquired in detail about marrying a wife. Listening to Chonghua mention it at this time, he really has this idea.

"The fourth child is usually not close to Zhou Wenyuan, so he shouldn't have anything to do with him." Luo Chen wrinkled his eyebrows, his eyes full of questions.

Chonghua shrugged: "Sometimes things are not necessarily as simple as they appear on the surface. You have to understand it in detail to know the truth of the matter. ”

Luo Chen looked up at her: "You mean Zhou Wenyuan and the fourth child, maybe there are some ulterior secrets?" ”

Chonghua thought for a while: "Actually, I want to say, maybe Princess Tongjiang and the eldest princess have some ulterior secrets." ”

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment. R1152
