In the palace, red brocades and lanterns are hung everywhere, which is full of festive taste. Emperor Wen of Liang has just passed his birthday, which was originally a happy day for the whole world to celebrate, that is, the taxes in the world have also been reduced by seventy percent, so it is deduced that both palace maids and eunuchs in this palace should have a smile on their faces, because the rewards for these two days are definitely a lot.

However, the situation in front of him was not as cheerful as expected, all the palace maids and eunuchs walked in a hurry, bowed their heads and were silent, and the huge palace seemed to be dead silent. Only the sound of "whooshing" footsteps proves that the people in this palace are still alive, not ghosts.

At this moment, Lord Huang Cheng, the leader of the forbidden army in Southern Liang, was hurriedly stepping forward, and the clothes and armor on his body rubbed out the sound of Jin Ge intertwining, which was particularly harsh in the quiet palace.

Lord Huangcheng is the leader of the 50,000 forbidden army in Nanjing City, which is the last force to defend Gyeonggi, and it is also the most elite force, and all the troops will be screened out and entered into the forbidden army. And only the most trusted person of His Majesty the Emperor can take on such a great responsibility, and obviously, Huang Cheng is such a person.

As the commander and head of the 50,000 forbidden army, needless to say, he is the first martial arts master of the Southern Liang Kingdom, and only by letting such a master guard the palace can Emperor Wen of Liang put his mind at ease. Although the rank of the commander of this forbidden army is not high, the power in his hands is enough to make people frightened. The forbidden army controls the power of life and death in the whole of Kyoto, and Lord Huangcheng doesn't need any reason to kill people. This is a privilege granted by His Majesty Emperor Wen of Liang.

However, this Lord Huangcheng just conscientiously adhered to his duty, which is also what Emperor Liang Wen admired most about the commander of the forbidden army. Today, however, the Commander's footsteps, which have always been calm and calm, seem to be a little hasty, which is not an easy scene to see in normal times.

Lord Huangcheng walked quickly to Emperor Liang Wendi's imperial study, and the little eunuch guarding at the door did not stop him, because the person who came was Lord Huangcheng.

Pushed open the door of the imperial study, and walked in with small steps. Only in front of Emperor Wen of Liang would the commander of the forbidden army appear so well-behaved and cautious.

walked to the desk and knelt down very respectfully: "Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Wen Liang put down the book in his hand, raised his head to look at the commander, and sighed faintly: "What I ordered you to investigate, how is it?" ”

Lord Huang Cheng did not hesitate, and said extremely respectfully: "All evidence shows that it was indeed His Highness who killed the palace maid by mistake after drinking. ”

Emperor Liang Wendi frowned: "What about the specific situation?" ”

Lord Huangcheng said: "On the night His Royal Highness was drunk, His Royal Highness's personal eunuch Xiao Xingzi proved that His Royal Highness had indeed recruited the palace maid into the room to sleep, and all the palace maids and eunuchs in His Royal Highness's palace confirmed that there was indeed a sound of room in His Royal Highness's bed. ”

Emperor Liang Wendi's brows tightened: "Is there any other situation?" ”

"Another of His Highness's personal eunuchs disappeared early in the morning of the incident, and according to the city guards on duty, there was a little eunuch who went out of the palace gate early in the morning with His Highness's token, and it is not clear what he was doing. However, he has not returned to the palace for the past two days. There's something strange about this. ”

Emperor Wen of Liang let out a long sigh: "It seems that everything proves that Beiping has indeed done such a rebellious thing?" ”

"Exactly, Your Majesty."

"Then let me ask you, if you put aside this evidence, do you think Ping'er would do such a thing?"

The Commander of the Forbidden Army chose to remain silent.

Emperor Liang Wendi hesitated for a moment, picked up a letter from the table and threw it down: "Look at this letter, it may be of some help to you in investigating the case." ”

Lord Huangcheng was stunned for a moment, picked up the envelope on the ground, opened it and looked at it himself, his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it was the minister's negligence, and Weichen immediately went to investigate." ”

Emperor Liang Wen nodded: "Go quickly, I hope it will be too late." ”

Lord Huang Cheng stood up and hurriedly retreated.

Emperor Liang Wendi finally stood up and said to the little eunuch on the side, "Go see Ping'er." ”

———————————————————————————————————————

There was silence in the dormitory of His Royal Highness, which was the atmosphere that had been formed in the past two days. No one talked, no one walked back and forth, there was just silence.

All the servants and eunuchs had been newly arranged, making the courtyard a little unfamiliar. In addition to going to the toilet twice in the past two days, the eldest prince of Xiao Beiping drank a little water, so it can be said that he has not eaten a drop of rice. Therefore, the eldest prince's face was already very pale, and there was no blood in his eyes.

There were good dishes on the table, but they didn't move. The palace maid on the side stood tremblingly beside the eldest prince's bed, a little at a loss. Because if the eldest prince doesn't eat again, he will be unlucky.

And last night, the Second Highness came down once, and his master only drank two sips of wine, and still didn't eat anything. This is not a good thing.

Then I heard someone outside shouting, "The emperor has arrived." ”

The maidservant trembled when she heard this, hurriedly took two steps to open the door, and knelt at the door to greet the arrival of the lord of a country.

When Emperor Liang Wen took steps into the room, Xiao Beiping did not make any moves, as if it was not the Ninety-Five Honor, nor his own Lao Tzu, he was like a spectator who had nothing to do with himself. Until the Ninety-Five Venerable sat on the bed, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his child's head: "Ping'er! ”

Xiao Beiping's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head, and finally there was a trace of blood on his pale face: "Father." ”

Emperor Liang Wen smiled and nodded, holding the head of the eldest prince and embracing him into his arms, at this moment, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, there is just a father-son relationship whose blood is thicker than water. gently patted Xiao Beiping's back: "Child, it's okay." ”

Xiao Beiping struggled out of Emperor Liang Wendi's embrace, staring at his father with bloodshot eyes, but he didn't say a word. Emperor Liang Wendi felt a little sad, and finally smiled: "Why don't you justify." ”

Xiao Beiping was stunned: "Father, do you believe that I was framed?" ”

Emperor Liang Wen let out a long sigh, neither nodding nor shaking his head: "I want to believe, but I can't believe it." There is a lot of content in Emperor Liang Wendi's words. Emperor Liang Wendi was a smart man, and he knew everything that happened in Kyoto. However, he chose to stand by and let his two sons mess around, after all, the palms and backs of his hands are meat, and the two sons are his own hearts, as long as he doesn't violate the bottom line, he can make trouble as much as he wants.

However, this time it is a little different, this kind of absurd and unruly thing, Emperor Liang Wendi will never believe that his son will do it, but if he really chooses not to believe it, then if he investigates thoroughly, it is good that he can't find out, and if he finds out, the one who accepts the punishment must be his other son, and the punishment he accepts is much more severe than the punishment of his eldest son. Murdering one's own brother is a great crime, and even if he doesn't die, he must be sent to the frontier or reduced to a commoner. This is not the result that Emperor Liang Wendi wants to see.

Emperor Liang Wendi's family are all smart people, and His Royal Highness is no exception. The reason why Xiao Beiding chose to do this was to control his own Lao Tzu's proportions. This matter of strangling a palace maid can be big or small, but if Xiao Bei's crime is really happy, it is a serious crime. And Emperor Liang Wendi definitely doesn't want to see such a situation, so he would rather let his eldest son bear a crime that is not serious.

Xiao Beiping looked at his father, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and finally did not speak. Emperor Liang Wen smiled and opened his mouth: "The reason why you have chosen to remain silent for the past two days is because you are waiting, right?" ”

Xiao Beiping's body was shocked, and he looked at his father in some surprise, but he still didn't speak. Emperor Liang Wendi smiled and said, "I must admit that you do have a good senior brother. Duan Chong, this kid, does have some doorways, but I can't see through it. Although as far as I know, he is now in trouble himself, but he still hasn't forgotten to help you. That little eunuch of yours should go out of the palace to find Duan Chong. ”

Xiao Beiping's body trembled a few times, and his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at his father: "You know everything? ”

Emperor Liang Wendi nodded: "I don't know much, but I know everything I should know." The reason why I didn't investigate this matter thoroughly with great fanfare is that I don't want you two brothers to turn against each other completely. However, I realized that I had been wrong all along, I had been too indulgent with Ding'er, and you were a good boy, so I didn't want you to be wronged. ”

Xiao Beiping's expression was a little excited, so that he couldn't speak. Emperor Liang Wen continued: "Duan Chong, this kid is extremely smart. The last time I entered the palace, I told him that he could enter and leave the palace at will, but I didn't expect him to keep an eye on it and find a way to send me a letter. Although this Duan Zhong did not see the scene of the incident, he listed many possible suspicious points in the letter, and it happened that these places would be negligent. ”

Xiao Beiping was stunned: "What place?" ”

"Everyone knows that this palace maid died naked in your bed, since you missed it after drinking, there must have been bodily fluids splashed on the bed when you had sex last night, your quilt and sheets have not been changed, as long as you check, you can always draw some conclusions."

Emperor Wen of Liang paused: "The commander of Huangcheng has already led people to the morgue to check the corpse at this moment, but fortunately, the body of this palace maid has not had time to deal with it, after calling the imperial doctor to check it, there should be a result, and whether it is okay or not, you will know." ”

Xiao Beiping was stunned: "Then why would anyone confirm that there would be a sound of sex in my bed?" ”

"Since one person can frame you, there may be a second person, a third person. The sound of this room is not impossible to imitate. The eunuch who exposed you committed suicide last night. ”

Xiao Beiping sighed, this is not suicide for fear of crime, but murder.
