Chapter 383: Progress
thought that there would be a quarrel, but he didn't want these guys to be trained very well by Liu Ji and Qin Yan, not only did he not fight back, but he kept laughing, and in the end, even Xu Wang himself was bored.
was already aggrieved, but at this time, he was slammed into it, Xu Wang was about to get angry, but when he turned his head, he was a familiar face.
"Do you know the guy who hit you?" Jin Yuan asked.
"Yes! Of course I know! ”
Xu Wang hurriedly said: "I met the eldest lady a few times before, oh no, it should be the prince's side concubine, and this girl can always accompany me." ”
"Are you sure?" Jin Yuan stood up violently and asked, "Are you sure that woman is the person who is serving beside the crown prince's side concubine?" ”
"Yes! The villain has seen it several times, and he will never admit it! Xu Wang replied affirmatively.
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, everyone didn't speak, Xu Wang didn't know if he said something wrong, and he didn't dare to squeak in his heart.
After a while, Jin Yuan took the lead and said, "The man is sure that the prince's side concubine only brought a maid to serve by his side, but the shopkeeper Xu met a second maid. ”
"This maid came but didn't show up, she left in a hurry before the banquet ended, it's nothing to put in normal times, but that night the prince's side concubine and his party were drugged, and Lord Chen passed away......"
Jin Yuan looked at Liu Hongren as he spoke, and asked, "What does Lord Liu think?" ”
Liu Hongren rubbed his fingers back and forth a few times, and then said: "This matter involves the crown prince's side concubine, and the official needs to report to the emperor before making a decision." ”
"Good!" Jin Yuan leaned back into the chair and said, "Then according to what Lord Liu said, first talk to the emperor." ”
He looked at the sky, stood up, and said, "It's getting late today, so let's stop here." Lord Liu, this official has taken his leave first. ”
Leaving the Kyoto Yamen, Jin Yuan went straight back to Shangshu Mansion, he did not mention when Ning Zhao would be able to return, but did not mention Ning Zhao from beginning to end.
When he arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Jin Yuan asked Liuying to follow him to the study, the door was closed, and it was reopened after a while, Liuying retreated from the study, and a few figures disappeared.
The next morning, Liu Hongren truthfully told the old emperor about the situation found out yesterday, and when it came to the prince's side concubine, Liu Hongren also looked at Jin Yuan, hesitating and not knowing how to speak.
Jin Yuan caught his gaze, immediately stood up, saluted the old emperor, and said, "Weichen participates in the whole process, and the rest of Weichen will come to mind." ”
The old emperor raised his hand and nodded, "You say." ”
"But before Weichen said, I also ask the emperor to forgive Weichen for the crime of trespassing." Jin Yuan bowed his head and said respectfully.
The old emperor raised his eyebrows, paused, and waved his hand: "The matter is urgent, I forgive you for your innocence, just say it." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Jin Yuan thanked him, got up and stood up, and then said: "The emperor knows that Neiko is involved, and Weichen is flesh and blood after all, and he can't see Neiko being wronged coldly, so he asked someone to investigate secretly. ”
"Before the emperor allowed me to investigate the case together, Weichen thanked His Majesty for forgiving Weichen's trespassing." Jin Yuan said.
"Did you find anything?" The old emperor crossed the words in front of him and asked directly.
"Wechen sent someone to check the people who were serving around several nobles that night, as well as the guests who came and went, but it was really discovered by Wechen." Jin Yuan said.
The old emperor did not urge, and waited patiently.
"Lord Liu also said before, according to the dictation of the Liuliju guys, the items and food needed in the box that night were not only through the hands of the Liuliju guys, but also transferred to the hands of a maid on the way."
"And this maid is the personal palace maid of the prince's side concubine." Jin Yuan raised his voice and said.
"The personal palace maid of the prince's side concubine?" The old emperor changed his posture and asked, "So what?" ”
"If it is normal days, it is naturally not unusual, but what this palace maid took over was the drugged Gu Dong pot, so this palace maid is very suspicious!" Jin Yuan said.
The ministers whispered one after another, but they didn't expect that Jin Yuan would find out so many things overnight, and even involved the crown prince's side concubine, and everyone became more and more curious about the truth of this case.
"What Aiqing said is not unreasonable."
The old emperor also agreed, but the evidence was still insufficient, and the most was speculation, "But this does not mean that the person who drugged the medicine was the palace maid." ”
"Indeed!"
Jin Yuan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It's just that I have handled a drugged Gudong pot, and I can't conclude that it was this person who gave the medicine." ”
"You can be drugged before her, or you can be drugged after she has done it, and the real culprit will be unstable."
"The so-called difference is thousands of miles, how can Weichen be so arbitrary." Jin Yuan said.
The old emperor nodded, with a little smile on his face, and said: "It's rare that Lord Jin is so impartial and doesn't protect his shortcomings, since Lord Jin is so determined, but what else has been found?" ”
Jin Yuan arched his hand towards the old emperor again, nodded and said: "Emperor Shengming, you can't hide anything from the emperor, yes, in addition to this palace maid, Weichen also found out that there was another person who secretly hid outside the box that night, and then left in a hurry." ”
"Hiding outside the box for no reason, and finally leaving in a hurry, this is enough to make people suspicious, and what's more, Weichen also found out that this sneaky person is another palace maid who serves the prince's side concubine in the East Palace!"
"Is that true?" The old emperor narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Weichen's words are true, the emperor can ask Lord Liu to testify." Jin Yuan arched his hand.
The old emperor looked at Liu Hongren, and Liu Hongren also hurriedly arched his hand and replied: "Yesterday, Lord Jin reported that such a person was indeed found at the scene, and there were witnesses who saw it with their own eyes, which can confirm that this person is indeed the palace maid next to the prince's side concubine. ”
At this point, Liu Hongren can only tell the truth.
Everyone in the palace, including the old emperor, didn't expect that there was such a person, and the old emperor immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Pass on the prince's side concubine!" ”
Since learning that Lord Chen died violently that night, Ning Jian has always said that he has never left the East Palace because of his illness, not for anything else, and the few people who drank and feasted with him have all had problems, if he is still good, it is not obvious that he is wrong.
Originally, I also planned to frame Liuliju this time, making it difficult for Ning Zhao to do business, and maybe he would have to bear the reprimand of the old emperor.
But what Ning Chuan didn't expect, the little Xiaoice piece actually wanted Lord Chen's life!
She never thought of anyone's life, even if she thought about it, it was only Ning Zhao and Ning Hong, as for others, she didn't have the heart to be ruthless to such an extent.
What's more, Lord Chen is still her maternal grandfather, after Chen's death, although Lord Chen was alienated from Ningfu, but for the sake of Chen's face, Lord Chen was still very good to her granddaughter.
Thinking of calling Lord Chen to eat together, although there will be minor problems, it will not be serious after all, and because Lord Chen's status is quite high, so the old emperor can't let Ning Zhao go easily.
But now Master Chen is dead directly!
