Xiao Yizheng and Qingxi hurriedly rushed to the scene of the accident in surprise: the bedroom of the horse Zhangyan.

When the two arrived, the door of the dormitory was already full of attendants, whispering, all shocked. Princess Xiao Lechang of Anping was standing in front of the bed in a daze with her personal grandmother.

Seeing Xiao Yizheng and Qingxi arrive, everyone consciously and automatically saluted and made way of the way.

Xiao Yizheng walked quickly to Princess Anping's side, and looked at her pale face, purple lips, and uncontrollable trembling hands, while her eyes were motionless and lifeless on the bed.

"What's going on?" He asked in a deep voice, noticing a shivering boy kneeling not far away.

The little guy trembled and couldn't say a word.

Mama Zheng, who was supporting Princess Anping, spoke: "The attached horse has the habit of getting up early, and Zhang Shi, who was waiting close to him this morning, saw that there was no movement in the house for a long time, so he kept knocking on the door, and he didn't reply to the panic, so he directly knocked on the door and came in to check, and found that the horse had gone." ”

Xiao Yizheng stepped forward to check and saw Zhang Yan lying on the bed very peacefully, as if he was still asleep.

Qingxi, who was standing behind him, looked around at the furnishings in the house, which were neat and tidy, and there was nothing unusual.

"The princess has already sent someone to Zhangfu to deliver the message." Mama Zheng then said.

Xiao Yizheng frowned and got up: "Does my brother-in-law have heart palpitations?" ”

"This ......," Mama Zheng was noncommittal.

"Nope." Princess Anping's lips moved slightly, and finally she spoke hoarsely: "He didn't." Although he is physically weak, he attaches great importance to maintenance, wakes up early every day to do some exercise, and even maintains the habit of bathing in cold water. ”

Xiao Yizheng bowed. "Fourth sister, I suggest that you ask you to check it out."

Princess Anping breathed rapidly, and her legs and feet seemed to be a little unstable.

Xiao Yizheng's eyes quickly got started and supported her. "Mama Zheng, help the princess back to the room to rest first." He commanded.

As soon as his words fell, Princess Anping had already fainted.

Xiao Yizheng hurriedly carried her back to the room and ordered to invite a doctor.

There was already some chaos in the princess's mansion, so he had to make arrangements and instructed the official to ask someone to let Zhao Xin protect Moon Shadow and Xiao Yiran in the backyard.

Qingxi stayed in the room to take care of Princess Anping.

Soon, the prefect of Taining led a group of people into the princess's mansion, and when they saw Xiao Yizheng, they were sincerely afraid.

Xiao Yizheng waved his hand: "The prefect doesn't need to be polite, take the horse first." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing that something had happened in the princess's mansion, he came non-stop with the strongest equipment of the prefect.

Not long after the prefect entered the mansion, the Zhang family also followed.

Zhang Taishou also took care of some etiquette, and greeted Xiao Yizheng very respectfully.

But Mrs. Zhang was already crying silently with the support of her youngest son, and she completely forgot the rules of etiquette.

Zhang Taishou is also full of tears, but he did not ask for his wife's disgrace in vain.

"Master Zhang doesn't need to be like this, when his relatives have passed away and he is grieving, how can he still force these false courtesies. The princess and the king were also very grieved. Last night, I ....... with my brother-in-law about wine," Xiao Yizheng's voice was also a little choked.

Although he and this fourth brother-in-law have no face-to-face relationship, but people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, people who talked and laughed yesterday are separated by yin and yang today, how can people not sigh.

What's more, it was Princess Anping's husband; How will the fourth sister accept the responsibility?

Wang Zhifu walked back to the lobby at a hurry, and when he saw that the Taishou had arrived, he hurriedly bowed, stabilized his voice, and replied: "Back to His Highness and Taishou, after a preliminary investigation, the horse should have died of poisoning." ”

"What?" Zhang Taishou was startled.

"There will always be someone in the princess's mansion who poisons my son?" Mrs. Zhang hammered her chest and complained angrily.

Xiao Yizheng frowned, glanced at Mrs. Zhang, his lips moved slightly, after all, he took pity on the pain of losing his son, and did not accuse him of the inappropriateness in his words.

"Be specific." He commanded the prefect of the king.

The horse's face was as usual, but there was a black and purple patch on his chest, which was obviously poisoned. According to preliminary estimates, the colt died last night. ”

"Can you be sure what poison it is? How long does it take for a poison to get a hair?" Xiao Yizheng asked.

"Further inquest is needed."

"My son went yesterday

Where and who did you meet? Let Zhang Shi come and talk back. Zhang Taishou's old voice was full of irrepressible anger.

Zhang Shi stumbled into the lobby, and seemed to be more relieved than just now, but he was able to reply normally.

It can be seen that his friendship with Zhang Yan's master and servant is not shallow, and he has burst into tears.

"The eldest prince worked in the government all day yesterday. In the evening, someone from the princess's mansion reported that His Royal Highness King Heng had come to the princess's mansion, and the eldest prince returned to the princess's mansion, and there was nothing special. ”

"After the pony and we had dinner last night, did you go out alone?" Xiao Yizheng asked.

Zhang Shi shook his head: "The eldest prince only went to the princess's bedroom when he was in Hai, and he returned to his bedroom after about half an hour. ”

"In other words, Yan'er only used food and drink in the princess's mansion?" Mrs. Zhang exclaimed, and then whimpered and said, "What does Yan'er owe to the princess, she has been serving carefully all these years, walking on thin ice......

"Madame!" Zhang Taishou shouted loudly and cut off her words: "Xun'er, help your mother go back to rest first." ”

"No, no, no," Mrs. Zhang hurriedly got up, "I'm going to see Yan'er first, take me to see Yan'er, he's still so young......." ”

The second son Zhang Xun, who was standing on the side, glanced at Xiao Yizheng and his father who were in the seat, showed a trace of melancholy, and lowered his head to help Mrs. Zhang go out.

Zhang Taishou looked at the lady who was walking unsteadily, shook his head lightly, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Xiao Yizheng: "Clumsy Jing suddenly lost his beloved son, his emotions are unstable, his exit is not inferior, and he still looks forward to His Royal Highness Haihan." ”

Xiao Yizheng was silent for a while, and said calmly: "It seems that this matter is in the princess's mansion, and someone wants to slander Princess Anping." ”

The people in the hall knelt down one after another.

"Clumsy Jing lost his words, he never had this intention, I hope His Highness will forgive his sins." Zhang Taishou was earnest.

"Even so, it is even more necessary to return the princess's innocence. Your Excellency the Prefect, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and the princess's mansion will let you investigate, and the rest of the people involved will also hope that your lordship will not miss the investigation, and you must return justice as soon as possible. Xiao Yizheng showed a majestic aura.

On the other side, inside Princess Anping's house.

After the doctor gave the princess an injection, she gradually woke up.

Qingxi sent the servant to sit beside her bed and serve her tea and water.

Xiao Lechang was half-leaning on the bed, and half of his energy seemed to be drained, his eyes were stunned and expressionless.

Qingxi covered the bedding for her, and she was also sad in her heart.

After a while, she said softly: "Fourth sister, if you want to cry, cry out, if you want to shout, shout, don't hold yourself, don't ...... like this" She said as she spoke, choking up first.

Xiao Lechang's eyes moved to her face, revealing a hint of a smile, still so graceful and peaceful, Qingxi looked at it but felt a touch of misery.

"He's dead?" Xiao Le muttered, "How could he just die like this?" I thought we were going to spend our whole lives like this. How could he just leave......"

Qingxi swallowed her throat, and sat down against Xiao Lechang again, not knowing what to say to comfort, so she kept stroking her arms.

She thought that maybe the relationship between Princess Anping and Zhang Yan's horse was not as plain as water as the outside world saw.

"That year, my father gave me a marriage, and my mother told me that he was a gentle, polite, down-to-earth and elegant son, although he was reluctant to leave the palace, but he was still looking forward to it with trepidation. I know that his name is Zhang Yan, and he is the eldest son of Wonju Taishou. Three days before the wedding, the sixth brother took me out of the palace to visit the Xijin Night Market. In front of the Xijin Post House, I heard someone calling for Zhang and the horse, I hurriedly looked up and saw him. Eight years ago, he was just weak, and he was much more energetic than he is now. I secretly rejoiced in my heart that my father had given me a good marriage. She smiled again, and this time there was a hint of sweetness in her smile.

It turned out that the beginning of this marriage was also full of a girl's sustenance for the future.

It's just that why did it become what it is now?

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Yizheng slowly walked in.

Xiao Lechang and Qingxi looked at him at the same time, naturally wanting to know what was happening in front of them.

Xiao Yizheng wanted to explain tactfully, but looking at Xiao Lechang's expression, he felt that concealment was not the best policy, so he said: "My brother-in-law died of poisoning, and someone wants his life." ”

Sure enough, I heard about this

sentence, Xiao Lechang, who was paralyzed on the bed, had a bright life in his eyes. "Who? Who wants to harm him? ”

"Investigating!"

"What about the others?"

"Later, it will be transported back to the prefect's yamen for further inquest."

"No way!" Xiao Lechang opened the futon and was about to get out of bed. "No one is allowed to take him out of the princess's mansion."

Qingxi hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Fourth sister, your body is still weak, don't be excited." ”

Xiao Yizheng didn't expect her to react so much. "When the inquest is over, I'll ask them to send my brother-in-law back."

"No! Let them go into the princess's mansion to check, and they are not allowed to take people out of the mansion! Xiao Lechang had already gotten up, and he was about to walk towards the door regardless of it.

"Can you still stop people from being buried? Brother-in-law has gone! Xiao Yizheng said in a deep voice.

Xiao Lechang's footsteps froze, and he was fixed on the spot.

Xiao Yizheng stepped forward, sighed, and helped her sit down at the table, but finally couldn't bear to say, "Okay, I'll let them come into the house to investigate." ”

Qingxi hurriedly found a big hat and put it on Xiao Lechang.

Xiao Lechang was silent for a while, raised his eyes and said, "No matter who wants to harm him, I, Xiao Lechang, will never let go." ”

Xiao Yizheng nodded and said, "Fourth sister, there are some things I need to ask clearly, even if I don't ask, someone from the prefect will come to ask you later." ”

Xiao Lechang's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he bowed slightly.

"Last night, my brother-in-law came into your bedroom and talked to you about something?"

Xiao Lechang breathed freely, his face was gloomy, and his head lowered slightly.

Qingxi and Xiao Yizheng exchanged glances and exchanged glances.

Obviously, last night's conversation between Princess Anping and the concubine was very informative.

"Is it important?" Xiao Le asked.

"It's important." Xiao Yizheng replied.

After a while, Xiao Lechang slowly spoke: "He offered to separate from me." ”
