Listening to the little eunuch's words, Zhu Hao was not satisfied, because the time of seven days was still a little too long for the conjecture in his heart, since there was a conjecture Zhu Hao was naturally unwilling to let it go, so he asked the little eunuch: "Who knows in the palace, what day was the last time the imperial dining room was purchased?" ”

The little eunuch didn't know at all, what kind of wind did this fifth prince smoke today, and he actually cared about when the imperial dining room would go out of the palace to buy, which made the little eunuch very puzzled, but the little eunuch had a low status in the palace, and he knew since he was a child that in the palace, he shouldn't ask things, he couldn't ask, and the doubts in his heart at this moment were not what he should ask.

Although there was a puzzled face, the little eunuch still said honestly: "Luo Xiang, who is in charge of the purchase of this imperial dining room, is the most clear, and he has always been responsible for this purchase!" ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he nodded and said, "Go back!" When you go back, you will say this to your father, saying that I want to talk to Luo Xiang personally about the purchase of the imperial dining room! ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly bowed and retired, and then withdrew from Zhu Hao's bedroom, and only Zhu Hao and Gongsun Ce were left in the dormitory, Gongsun Ce knew that Zhu Hao had a good intention when he asked the little eunuch just now, but for a while Gongsun Ce didn't understand what Zhu Hao's intentions were?

After the little eunuch left, Gongsun Ce could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart, so he asked, "What did Your Highness find?" Can you tell the truth to the minister? ”

Zhu Hao naturally wouldn't hide this Gongsun Ce, who was fully loyal to him, so he smiled slightly and said: "Gongsun, think about it, among the treasurers in this palace, except for the treasurer who embezzled a barrel of kerosene, there is no shortage of kerosene, so is it possible...... So does kerosene come from outside the palace? ”

Hearing Zhu Hao say this, Gongsun Ce also reacted, nodded and said: "Your Highness is suspicious, the queen used the imperial dining room to go out to buy, and transported kerosene from outside the palace into the palace to cover up the fact that he used kerosene to light the fire?" ”

Zhu Hao nodded and said, "Exactly!" After Luo Xiang from the imperial dining room comes after a while, ask and there will be results! ”

After Zhu Hao's words were finished, he and Gongsun Ce waited for the arrival of Luo Xiang in the imperial dining room in the dormitory, and after about half an hour, they heard a shrill voice outside the door: "The slave imperial dining room buys Luo Xiang, and I am ordered to meet His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince!" ”

Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart: "My father really loves himself, he just told the little eunuch that he wanted to explain to this buyer Luo Xiang what he wanted to eat." As a result, Dad directly issued a holy decree for him to come to see him, it is estimated that Dad is afraid of this Luo Xiang grinding foreign workers, and Dad is really spoiled by himself! ”

Zhu Hao cleared his throat and said, "Luo Caimai, come in and talk back!" ”

As soon as Zhu Hao's words fell, an old eunuch with thief eyebrows and smiling eyes came into the palace, and at first glance he was a flattering and treacherous man.

Zhu Hao's first feeling about this old eunuch was very bad, but at the moment, it was the most important thing to find out about the fire case, after all, this matter was now linked to Gongsun Ce's life!

After Luo Xiang entered the main hall, he bowed to Zhu Hao and said: "The slave imperial dining room buys Luo Xiang, see the five princes, may the five princes be in good health!" ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "Get up and talk!" After a hard trip, the prince really felt a little sorry in his heart! ”

When Luo Xiang heard the body that had just stood up, he instantly knelt down again, and hurriedly said: "The old slave can serve the five princes, it is the blessing of the old slave, not hard, not hard!" Please also ask the five princes to tell the old slave what you want to eat, and the old slave will go out of the palace tomorrow to buy it for the five princes! ”

Zhu Hao shook his head when he heard this: "Don't be in a hurry to talk about this matter first, may I ask Luo Caimai, what day was the last time you bought vegetables in the palace?" ”

Luo Xiang didn't understand why Zhu Hao asked this, but the time of this purchase was not a secret in the palace, and many people in the imperial dining room knew it, so although Luo Xiang was puzzled, he didn't hide it from Zhu Hao, and said honestly: "Back to the five princes, it's the day before yesterday!" ”

Zhu Hao said secretly in his heart when he heard this: "This time is right!" The day before yesterday was two days after the fire, which means that the old demon woman first used the kerosene prepared for lighting this month to ignite the side hall, so that there was no kerosene for this month's lighting in the Kunning Palace, so on the second day of the fire, the old demon woman asked the treasurer to withdraw kerosene again, and on the same day her father said that he would thoroughly investigate the fire case. Another day later, just in time for the imperial dining room to go out to buy, it is estimated that the old demon woman herself is afraid of being exposed, so she asked the imperial dining room to secretly bring back three barrels of kerosene, which is used to supplement the amount of kerosene lost due to arson, so as to cover up the fact of arson. In this way, Gongsun Ce found nothing when he checked the amount of kerosene in Kunning Palace.

Zhu Hao thought that he had analyzed the facts clearly, so he asked Luo Xiang again with hope: "Luo Caimai, this prince asks you, the last time you went out of the palace to buy vegetables, did you not only buy vegetables, but also other items?" For example...... Kerosene or something? ”

When Luo Xiang heard this, his body trembled slightly, as if he had been found by a cat and was hiding in the corner, looking at Luo Xiang's performance, Zhu Hao thought that his analysis was correct, so he waited for this Luo Xiang to open his mouth to confess, and he didn't want this Luo Xiang to raise his head after a moment and said: "Back to the fifth prince, the old slave went out of the palace to buy vegetables last time, and he didn't buy other things, let alone kerosene!" The old slave buys a royal dining room, what does he do when he buys kerosene? The fifth prince should not joke with the old slave? ”

Zhu Hao saw that this Luo Xiang didn't admit it, so he thought about deceiving him to see if he could deceive Luo Xiang's truth.

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao snorted coldly and asked, "Luo Xiang!" You are so bold, this prince already knows that you bought kerosene, and it was the queen mother who assigned you! Now you don't confess truthfully? As long as you tell the truth about the whole story, this prince will definitely intercede with his father for you, and he will not blame you for the past! ”

When Luo Xiang heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Hao, just when Zhu Hao thought that his words just now had moved the old eunuch, but he didn't expect Luo Xiang to open his mouth and say: "The old slave thank you for the love of the five princes, but the old slave really hasn't bought kerosene, the five princes don't have to scare the old slave, the old slave will definitely admit it, but the five princes who have not done it will not dare to admit it even if they force the old slave to death, not to mention that the five princes said that the old slave was instructed by the queen's mother, it is even more impossible. How noble is the status of the queen mother, how can the old slave have the opportunity to get close to the queen mother? The fifth prince didn't want the old slave to do the thing that was intolerable to frame the queen's mother! If that's the case, even if the old slave dies, he won't help the five princes! Besides, the old slave is allowed to say something that shouldn't be said! Although the five princes are not the biological children of the queen's mother, but the mother is the elder of the five princes after all, and the five princes are against humanity by doing this, and the old slave begs the five princes to stop, so as not to be punished by God! ”

When Zhu Hao heard Luo Xiang's words, he understood in his heart: "This old eunuch, although I don't know what he has to do with the old demon woman of the queen, but judging from the meaning of these words, this old eunuch is actually the diehard loyalist of the old demon woman, it is really TNND!" ”

Although Zhu Hao scolded the street angrily, but at the moment he really couldn't take this old eunuch Luo Xiang what, in the afternoon, the reason why he could scare the treasurer official and say that he was sent to Jinyiwei was because he had found that the treasurer's treasury was missing a barrel of kerosene, and the treasurer had broken the law.

But at the moment, he doesn't have the evidence of this old eunuch's illegality in his hands, so naturally he can't scare him like that, even if he scares like that, this old eunuch probably won't believe that he can send him to Jinyiwei!

It seems that it is basically impossible to ask something from the mouth of this old eunuch today, so Zhu Hao waved his hand and said, "You go down first!" ”

When the old eunuch Luo Xiang heard this, he got up three steps and made two steps, and quickly walked out of Zhu Hao's bedroom, as for what Zhu Hao wanted to eat, he didn't care about asking at all.

Although Luo Xiang showed such a weak heart, his intuition told Zhu Hao, the old eunuch, that there was a problem, but he couldn't let Zhu Hao determine whether the kerosene in the queen's palace had anything to do with Luo Xiang.

Even if the extra kerosene in the queen's palace has something to do with this old eunuch Luo Xiang, but now this old eunuch doesn't admit it, and just now he has educated Zhu Hao with the road of humanity, which makes Zhu Hao really have a headache at the moment.

Zhu Hao thought in his heart, wanting to pry open the old eunuch's mouth, it seemed that he couldn't count on it, so he could only think of other ways, and the words of the old eunuch Luo Xiang just now made Zhu Hao unable to determine at the moment whether the extra kerosene in the queen's palace came from outside the palace.

Just when Zhu Hao was in a stalemate again, one of Zhu Hao's attendant little eunuchs entered the house and said, "Your Highness, it's time to add kerosene to the lamp in this room, and the slave will add it to you now!" ”

Zhu Haozheng was upset and didn't pay attention to this, so he nodded and agreed with the little eunuch's words. After the little eunuch got Zhu Hao's affirmation, he added kerosene to the lamps in the room one by one.

In this little eunuch, add the lamp closest to Zhu Hao, the little eunuch just took off the lampshade, Zhu Hao smelled a faint fragrance of osmanthus, and suddenly Zhu Hao remembered that Liu He, the deacon and eunuch of Kunning Palace, said to him in front of the treasurer: "The kerosene in this palace is specially treated, and there will be a faint aroma of osmanthus when burning, but today there is a lamp in Kunning Palace, and after adding kerosene, it produces thick black smoke!" This faint fragrance of osmanthus made this sentence linger in Zhu Hao's mind, and after a while, Zhu Hao found a way to check it out from this sentence.
