In the palace of the four princes, Tuoba Zeyan got the news, he was very resentful, he didn't expect Cao Shangshu to be so unwilling to let go, obviously caught the queen's person, and let him go, Tuoba Zeyan was angry, strode into the lobby, saw Liu Mengyan, and was in a slightly better mood: "Miss Rong." ”

Liu Mengyan was sitting in the lobby, and she also heard what had happened in the past few days, and she was very happy to see Tuoba Zeyan coming, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and she stood up: "Tuoba Zeyan is here?" ”

Tuoba Zeyan stepped forward and helped Liu Mengyan sit down: "Miss Rong, sit down, you don't have to see outside." ”

Liu Mengyan smiled, sat down with Tuoba Zeyan, saw Tuoba Zeyan so worried, and probably guessed it, Wan Er smiled, and asked softly: "Tuoba Zeyan, what's wrong?" ”

Tuoba Zeyan frowned, raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Mengyan, looking very melancholy: "Miss Rong doesn't know, this king just got the news, my father caught the palace maid next to the queen yesterday, and in a few words, he let people go, obviously it was a sure thing, but it was a catastrophe, and this king really couldn't be happy." ”

Liu Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Tuoba Zeyan on the side: "Tuoba Zeyan rest assured, this matter is not unexpected, the queen is insidious and cunning, and it is reasonable to get away with it, as long as you let Lord Cao confess, the queen will not be proud for long!" ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Ze stared at Liu Mengyan on the side: "What did Miss Rong say?" ”

Liu Mengyan took a sip of tea, very satisfied: "Tuoba Zeyan only needs to make it clear to the emperor and personally interrogate Lord Cao, and there will definitely be a way to make Lord Cao speak!" ”

Tuoba Zeyan was very satisfied, and nodded lightly: "Miss Rong is really smart. As he spoke, the corners of Tuoba Zeyan's lips rose slightly, and he was very happy.

Liu Mengyan also put her mind at ease, very satisfied: "Tuoba Ze praised it falsely. ”

Tuoba Zeyan smiled lightly, also reached out and picked up the teacup, and took a sip: "This king will go to his father and judge Lord Cao in person!" ”

Liu Mengyan was even more satisfied: "Then I'll be tired of Tuoba Zeyan." Between the words, Liu Mengyan smiled lightly, the corners of her lips slightly hooked, and her face was full of spring breeze.

Tuoba Zeyan stood up and stared at Liu Mengyan on the side: "Miss Rong, don't worry, this king will go here." As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and strode out the door.

Tuoba Zeyan took the carriage and rushed to the palace, it was the fireworks in March, the catkins were flying, everything was recovering, the people who were blown by the warm wind were intoxicated, the scenery of Jinling City was very good, the tender wicker on the street had shaded the sun and the sun, spit out the tender buds, Tuoba Zeyan lifted the curtain with one hand, and carefully stared at the scene outside the carriage.

Yellow hair drooping, happy and happy, Tuoba Zeyan is very happy in his heart, since he was born, he has never seen such a scene, he has never had time to take care of what scenery he has come to Jinling City, and now he takes a closer look, it is really a different flavor, which is pleasant.

Tuoba Zeyan was very satisfied, the carriage moved forward slowly, and after a long time, he had already come to the gate of the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace, and the subordinates who drove the car tightened the reins and shouted: "Huh! ”

The carriage had stopped, and the subordinate reached out to help Tuoba Ze and said, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince be careful. ”

Tuoba Zeyan nodded lightly and walked out of the door: "You guys are waiting here!" ”

The subordinates were respectful: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

Tuoba Zeyan was very satisfied, strode towards the palace, a little anxious in his heart, and very much looking forward to it, came to Jinling City only for three months, and the queen and the prince had been cut off completely, Tuoba Zeyan was very proud in his heart, so it seems that within half a year, he is expected to ascend to the throne, Tuoba Zeyan is a little nervous in his heart.

After a while, Tuoba Zeyan had already come to the imperial study, strode over, knelt on the ground and saluted: "The son of the emperor sees his father." ”

The emperor was looking at the fold, and when he saw Tuoba Zeyan coming, he raised his eyes and threw down the fold in his hand: "The city doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly." ”

Tuoba Zeyan was even more respectful: "Thank you to your father." With that, he stood up.

The emperor also relaxed a little, reached out to pick up the teacup, and took a sip: "Cheng'er, why are you here?" But what is there to report to me? ”

Tuoba Zeyan still bowed his hand: "Father, the emperor, I heard that the princess caught the palace maid next to the queen yesterday?" ”

The emperor was a little melancholy, this matter was a family matter, and it was embarrassing for him to say it, and he frowned slightly: "Yes, Cai'er next to the queen was favored by Cao Shangshu before, and when Cao Shangshu was in trouble, she went to see Cao Shangshu and was unfortunately arrested!" This has been explained. ”

Tuoba Zeyan was still a little nervous in his heart: "Dare to ask my father, can Lord Cao confess?" ”

The emperor was still very melancholy, frowning: "I haven't confessed yet, what's wrong?" ”

Tuoba Zeyan bowed his hand: "Qi Qi Father, the crime committed by Lord Cao, the sons and daughters are very clear, and the sons implore the father and the emperor to let the sons and daughters personally interrogate Lord Cao, and they will definitely let Lord Cao confess." ”

The emperor frowned, stared at Tuoba Zeyan in front of him, and thought for a moment: "You want to personally judge Cao Shangshu?" ”

Tuoba Zeyan is still very respectful: "The son is willing to share the worries of his father and the emperor, and personally interrogate Lord Cao, and he will definitely be able to make Lord Cao confess." ”

Seeing this, the emperor nodded helplessly, what Lord Cao committed has aroused the anger of the people, if he is not severely punished, the people of the world will not give up: "Since this is the case, let you go, it will be judged!" ”

Tuoba Zeyan was very satisfied, and there was a slight smile in his eyes, and he hurriedly bowed his hand: "Thank you to your father, rest assured, your son will find out!" ”

The emperor also put his mind at ease, did not say anything more, and was very satisfied in his heart: "Go down." ”

Tuoba Ze was respectful, and saluted with his fists: "The son of the minister retires!" With that, he strode out the door.

At this time, the emperor also saw Tuoba Zeyan's ambitions, and felt that Tuoba Zeyan must have ulterior motives when he came this time, however, the emperor didn't think much about it, the eldest prince and the second prince had long been out of fashion, and only Tuoba Zeyan had some ability, and the emperor was very satisfied.

Tuoba Zeyan walked out of the imperial study, and hurriedly walked towards the Shen Criminal Division, Tuoba Zeyan knew in his heart that the Shen Criminal Division had always used strict punishments, and if he killed Lord Cao again, he would no longer be able to clean it up.

In the Punishment Division, a row of people are enslaving, the palace people are holding leather whips, staring at the people viciously, the scene is shocking, Tuoba Zeyan's heart is tight, it is the first time to see such a scene, and his heart is slightly nervous.

After a while, the palace people hurriedly walked over and bent down to salute: "Slave maid to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, please be safe." ”

Tuoba Zeyan was very satisfied, and nodded lightly: "No need to be polite, get up quickly." ”

The palace people still didn't dare to slack off: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

The fourth prince stared at the row of subordinates in front of him, shocked: "Auntie, what about Lord Cao who was just arrested yesterday?" ”

The palace people were very respectful: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, please." ”

Tuoba Zeyan nodded slightly, and walked forward with the palace people, feeling a little nervous and uneasy, and after walking a few steps, he came to Lord Cao's cell.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, this is Lord Cao who just came in yesterday."

Tuoba Zeyan was very satisfied, and nodded lightly: "You all go down!" This king talked to Lord Cao alone. ”

The palace people still didn't dare to slack off: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." With that, he walked away quickly.

Tuoba Zeyan raised his eyes and stared at Lord Cao in front of him, thinking that he was so glamorous before, only a day, he was like this, and he couldn't help but feel that the world was hot and cold, and his heart was slightly sad.

Tuoba Zeyan walked slowly and walked towards Cao Shangshu: "Cao Shangshu, do you still remember this king?" ”

Cao Shangshu was tied up with iron chains, covered with dirt, his unkempt hair was not shiny for a long time, he was beaten all over his body, and his body was full of scars, and his body was not full of skin, so he raised his head and looked at Cao Shangshu in front of him: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, thanks to the blessing of the Four Princes, the old minister has become what he is today, and the old minister naturally remembers His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

Tuoba Zeyan was very satisfied, and pursed his lips lightly: "Cao Shangshu's words are wrong!" It should be thanks to the blessing of the queen's mother, Cao Shangshu will become what he is today. ”

Cao Shangshu snorted lightly, very displeased: "The four princes can't resist how clever they are!" ”

Tuoba Zeyan felt a little emotion in his heart, and raised his eyes to stare at Lord Cao: "What Lord Cao said is good, this king is indeed unacceptable, but this king is for the sake of those innocent people in the west of the city, so what is Lord Cao for?" It's just for power! ”

Cao Shangshu seemed to be a little excited, his brows were tightly locked, his dark eyes were already full of tears, and his heart was very sentimental: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said that he was so high, isn't it for the sake of fighting for power and profit?" If it wasn't for power, why did you come to the palace? ”

Tuoba Zeyan raised his eyes and stared at Cao Shangshu, at this moment, Tuoba Zeyan could see that Cao Shangshu was not a heinous person, I was afraid that there was something unavoidable, so he would help the queen and the eldest prince to do such a thing: "Lord Cao is wrong, this king has no interest in fighting for power and profit, this king came to Jinling City, just to live, just to get the antidote to the poison of yin and yang body exchange!" ”

Cao Shangshu had already heard about the four princes, but he didn't expect him to say this, and he felt a little emotional in his heart for a while: "What? His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been poisoned by the Yin and Yang body swap? ”

Tuoba Zeyan nodded lightly: "This king has been poisoned for many years, and he has been seeking medical advice, but he has never recovered, but this king has not died for so many years, so he decided to come to Jinling City and give it a go." ”

Lord Cao was very sentimental in his heart, staring blankly at the four princes in front of him, slightly panicked, and his sharp eyes were a little sluggish: "Is what the four princes said true?" ”

Tuoba Zeyan nodded slightly, very satisfied: "It's true." ”

Lord Cao was even more sentimental, with mixed feelings and mixed feelings in his heart, he thought for a moment, pursed his lips, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it was the queen who arranged for me to do the plague incident in the west of the city, since His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is so well-intentioned, I will not hide it from His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”
