The old princess knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Lord, Jian Ning is your son, please save him." ”

Lao Ning Wang Qingjin burst out: "Save him? So who's going to save me? The one in the palace has long been dissatisfied with me, and is looking for an opportunity to stumble on me! Do you think he'll let go of such a great opportunity? ”

"Lord Wang, you must have a way, right? We've all been here for so many years, is it really impossible to get over this time? ”

The old princess unwillingly grabbed the corner of King Ning's clothes and said.

King Lao Ning pulled out the corner of his clothes, gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, send this to Jianning, tell him that I will definitely avenge him for his revenge, and let him go on the road with peace of mind." ”

"Lord Wang! Rajah! No, if he dies, all your years of hard work will be in vain. ”

The old princess cried and stretched out her hand to stop her, but was kicked to the ground by King Lao Ning.

"Ignorant women and children! It is with a mother like you that Jianning will come to the point where it is out of control today! Am I not heartbroken? How much effort have I put into Jianning? But is there any other way? Only when he dies can he exchange the entire Ning Wangfu for life! I can't just give in! I'm going to fight! ”

King Lao Ning said unwillingly.

At this time, Gonggong Hu ran in in a panic and said, "Oh no, Gonggong Chen from the palace is here." said that the emperor wanted to see you and the little prince. ”

"Panic what! Come out with me! ”

King Lao Ning glared at Gonggong Hu and strode out.

Gonggong Chen actually didn't wait where he was, but walked over in the direction that Gonggong Hu left. So as soon as Lao Ning Wang walked out of the courtyard a few steps, he met the oncoming Chen Gonggong.

"The old slave has seen the king of Lao Ning."

Gonggong Chen bowed respectfully and said.

King Lao Ning said with a cold face: "This time should be the time of the early dynasty, Gonggong Chen is not with the emperor's side, what are you doing here?" ”

Gonggong Chen smiled dryly and asked, "The emperor asked me to come over to invite you and the little prince, I don't know if the little prince is in the mansion?" ”

"Oh, in that case, Grandpa Chen can come in and sit for a while. Father-in-law Hu, you go and call Jianning. ”

King Lao Ning looked at Gonggong Hu with deep meaning.

Gonggong Hu's back was cold, he nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, the old slave will go and invite the little prince." ”

After a while, Gonggong Chen felt that his buttocks had just sat down, and he saw Gonggong Hu's face pale, and he ran in sweating profusely, shouting:

"Oh no, no!"

"What's wrong? Speak well! ”

King Lao Ning said unhappily.

Gonggong Chen swallowed and said, "The old princess and the little princess committed suicide by taking poison!" ”

"What? When did this happen? Why don't you go and get a doctor? ”

King Ning asked in shock with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Gonggong Chen did not move, still sitting, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

"Just now, when the slave got there, he saw the old princess and the little prince lying on the ground. I've already asked people to call in a doctor. ”

After Gonggong Hu finished his words in one breath without breathing, he glanced at Gonggong Chen, who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, and his heart was even more uneasy.

King Lao Ning said apologetically: "Gonggong Chen, you go back and tell the emperor that the family is unfortunate, and I will enter the palace after I take care of the affairs in the palace." ”

Father-in-law Chen was naturally not stupid, so he quickly got up and said:

"The old prince, please mourn, and the miscellaneous family will go back and tell the emperor. Leave. ”

"Father-in-law is leaving, I won't send it."

King Lao Ning said with a sad face.

Bidding farewell to King Lao Ning, Gonggong Chen kept urging the coachman and hurried back to the palace.

"Why did you come back alone? What about King Lao Ning and Murong Jianning? ”

Jia Conti asked suspiciously.

Gonggong Chen explained: "When the old slave arrived, the old princess and the little prince committed suicide by poisoning. King Lao Ning said that when he was done with the affairs of the house, he would enter the palace to face the saint. ”

"What? Committed suicide by taking poison? Do they want to commit suicide in fear of sin or do they want to die? What a good means, what a time to die! Tell me, now that Murong Jianning has committed suicide by taking poison, what should I do? ”

Jia Conti said angrily.

The ministers below all looked at each other, and Emperor Jiakangdi's meaning was obvious, his son died, and Lao Tzu was condemned. But many of the people in this court are the henchmen of King Lao Ning, who dares to say that.

At this time, Su Yushi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, death is great, you might as well wait for King Lao Ning." They can't escape the charges anyway, if you are in a hurry to find King Lao Ning now, you will have to leave a reputation for being unsympathetic. ”

Jia Kangdi looked at Zhongyong Gong and asked, "Zhongyong Gong, what do you think?" ”

"The minister felt that the king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. There is no emotion, and he Murong Jianning didn't expect the emperor when he sold his official position to make money. On the contrary, this incident made the minister feel that King Lao Ning was suspected of delaying time. ”

Zhong Yonggong said honestly.

Prince Ying also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is better to give the old imperial uncle a time limit, so that it will not only fulfill the royal feelings, but also not hinder the investigation of Dali Temple." ”

Jiakangdi pondered for a moment and said, "Since Prince Ying said so, then I will give King Lao Ning two days." As soon as the two days pass, King Lao Ning must enter the palace, and Jinyiwei will assist Dali Temple in investigating this matter, and he must give me an answer within two days! ”

Lord Qiu of Dali Temple wiped his cold sweat and stepped forward to respond: "Yes, the minister obeys the order!" ”

"Retreat!"

With a fit of rage, Gacondy got up and left the main hall.

As soon as Master Qiu walked out of the main hall a few steps, he met Commander Luo looking at him with a smile.

"Ouch, my dude, you're still laughing! I'm dying of sorrow! ”

Master Qiu said with a bitter face.

Commander Luo patted Master Qiu on the shoulder and said:

"What are you afraid of, what the emperor wants is the answer, can't we find out the truth?"

Master Qiu said with a headache: "Ouch, your straightforward nature deserves to be done in Jinyiwei now." ”

"Is there any other way for you?"

Commander Luo asked rhetorically.

"Well, let's go, let's go. Go back to Marble first, read these things, and then look for human and physical evidence. ”

Like throwing a hot potato, Master Qiu threw the stack of folds handed to him by Gonggong Chen to Commander Luo.

Ningwangfu

"Imperial Doctor Hu? What about the Confucius Envoys? Why didn't he come? ”

King Lao Ning said dissatisfiedly.

Seeing the disgusted expression of King Lao Ning, Imperial Physician Hu couldn't help but sneer: Hmph, who wants to come to this place of wrong.

"Back to the old prince's words, it is my turn to be on duty today, and the Confucius Academy envoy is not in the palace. If you want to see the Confucius Envoy, I'll call him right away. ”

Imperial Physician Hu said reluctantly.

King Lao Ning stretched his face and said, "No need, you hurry up and show me, are Jianning and my wife still saved?" ”

"Yes."

Imperial Physician Hu put down the medicine box, squatted on the ground and probed the snorts of Murong Jianning and the old princess, touched the pulse again, shook his head, and said:

"I'm sorry, the little prince and the old princess have already lost their breath."

King Lao Ning nodded and said, "Okay, you go and tell the emperor, just say that my house is going to hold a funeral, and I will enter the palace to face the saint when I am busy with the affairs of the house." ”

Imperial Physician Hu was so frightened that his mouth trembled, what? Do you want me to tell me about this? Isn't this clearly cannon fodder? Won't the emperor directly take me under the knife?

"Imperial Doctor Hu, why don't you speak? Is it unwilling? ”

Lao Ningwang's voice was very loud, and it dragged on for a long time, and Imperial Doctor Hu deeply felt that every word was beating in his heart, and he was almost out of breath.

"This, this, after all, the emperor didn't ask me to come over, it's not appropriate for me to go to the emperor so rashly, right?"

Imperial Physician Hu said tremblingly.

Lao Ning Wang snorted coldly and said, "I can't leave now, please help me convey it, won't it work?" How? Do you look down on this king? ”

Imperial Physician Hu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

At this moment, a slender voice came from outside,

"Yo, which ignorant person actually made the old prince angry?"

King Lao Ning looked up and saw that it was Gonggong Chen beside the emperor. What did he come to do? Did you come to see the corpse?

"Grandpa Chen, since you are here, then I won't bother Imperial Doctor Hu. Originally, I wanted him to make a trip in person and tell the emperor that I was busy with funerals here, and I was afraid that I would have to wait a few days before I could enter the palace to face the saint. ”

Imperial Physician Hu's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Since Gonggong Chen is here, then I will retire first." There are still a few ladies in the palace waiting for me to come and heal. ”

"Mrs. Hu is good to go, be careful and bump into it."

Lao Ning Wang said in a strange manner.

I don't know if it was King Ning's words that worked, but before Imperial Doctor Hu walked out of the door, he almost tripped over his own foot.

"Hehe, thank you for the reminder, I will definitely pay attention."

Imperial Physician Hu reluctantly turned around and saluted, and then ran away with a puff of smoke, which was definitely the fastest run ever for Imperial Physician Hu.

Gonggong Chen glanced at Murong Jianning and the old princess lying on the ground, with a sad expression on his face, and said:

"The little prince is a talent, but he is so young, it's a pity."

King Lao Ning closed his eyes tightly, and after a while, a line of clear tears flowed down, and said sadly:

"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate."

Gonggong Chen pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly and said, "King Lao Ning, please mourn, and the emperor also deeply regrets it. However, the emperor said that today it is widely rumored that the little prince has sold his official position to collect money, and the impact is bad, and the face of the royal family has been disgraced. The emperor would never believe that the little prince would do such a thing, so please go to Dali Temple in two days to cooperate with the investigation, the royal reputation cannot be ruined like this, and the rumor-mongers must not be let go! ”

Say it sounds so good, and cooperate with the investigation? I think it's house arrest in disguise, right?

King Lao Ning was on fire in his heart, but when he looked at Gonggong Chen, he still brought a polite smile:

"It's not mine to worry the emperor, please rest assured, in two days, I will definitely go to marble."

That's impossible!

Lao Ning Wang silently added in his heart.

Gonggong Chen's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that this time Lao Ning Wang was so easy to speak, and he actually agreed so readily? Hurriedly said:

"Good, good, good. I'll go back and tell the emperor, King Lao Ning, please stay. ”

Lao Ning Wang nodded, watching Gonggong Chen's back disappear quickly in front of him.

"Master, do you really want to go to Dali Temple? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? With the emperor's wariness of you over the years, this time I finally caught your handle, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let you go. If you add some trumped-up charges, I'm afraid that it will be impossible for you to come out again. ”

Gonggong Hu asked worriedly.

"You're dying a happy death. It's coming, it's coming, you still only care about your son and ignore me, so don't worry! Then I'll put on a play for the world to see! ”

King Lao Ning closed the old princess's eyes with his hand, stood up and said:

"Gonggong Hu, you go and call Murong Jianchang to me, saying that I have something to look for him."

Gonggong Hu was in a dilemma and said, "Master, the third prince is not in the mansion now. ”

"Didn't I tell him not to run around and stay in the house if it's okay? Wherever he is, get him back for me. ”

King Lao Ning said unhappily.

"Yes, the old slave will go."

Gonggong Hu nodded and exited the room.
