The emperor spoke coldly, raised his eyes and looked at Nuan Jin, his eyes were cold, and Nuan Jin was a little frightened.

She got up and replied: "Back to my father, my son did visit Xuanzi yesterday, because I heard that she was seriously ill, so I went to the house. ”

"What did you say to her? Why did she kill herself when you were gone? ”

The emperor asked so bluntly, shocking Nuan Jin's cold sweat, which shows that the emperor also suspects, he is right to pamper himself, but after all, he is the emperor, and he will not allow his children to do things that kill their siblings.

"Erchen just asked her about her current situation and comforted her a few words, but it was only a stick of incense before and after, and the rest was not said again."

"Is she telling the truth?"

The emperor looked at Prince Xiangrong, and Prince Rong hurriedly got up: "Back to Long Live Lord, when Princess Yan was talking to the little girl, she sent everyone and Wei Chen away, Wei Chen really didn't know what Princess Yan said to the little girl, but it was true that it was only a stick of incense before and after." ”

Prince Rong's words are equivalent to saying in vain, and there is a little bit of shirking responsibility, to put it bluntly, the words are said, and I didn't hear what I said!

Nuan Jin can also understand that saying this is just to push out the responsibility for his poor care.

"Prince Rong said this, it seems that this palace said to Xuanzi in private that he shouldn't have said it?"

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Prince Rong trembled and knelt down towards the emperor, "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to blame anyone!" It's only to blame Weichen for not taking good care of the little girl, my daughter is sad to leave, and her tongue is spit out, it's so miserable! As he spoke, Prince Rong began to howl, causing the listeners to grieve with him.

Prince Rong's description was chilling, which made Nuan Jin frown slightly, and looked at the emperor's eyes without a trace.

The emperor frowned, his eyebrows gloomy, and he didn't know what to think. No one in the room dared to speak, but no matter what, Nuan Jin always couldn't escape the danger of being suspected, thinking that the emperor was also hesitating, so he didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li Lanyu asks to see you."

The emperor's brows frowned more deeply, everyone knows that this Li Lanyu is an important minister of the two dynasties, and he is also the emperor's assistant minister, he is an upright person, and he has always been unreasonable.

He said this, and he did the same, and he was loyal to the current emperor, that is, he was straightforward and said whatever he wanted, which was quite a headache. Fortunately, the emperor knew that he was loyal, and sometimes even if he couldn't get off the stage, he would just do it.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Lord Li Lanyu walked in, saw the emperor first asked for peace, and then asked Princess Yan and Prince Rong for peace, and then stood up in a proper manner.

"Master Li came to find me?"

Li Lanyu is over sixty years old, but he is very strong, he stands there, he is very burly, I heard that when he was young, he often sent troops to fight, and then because he was old, the first emperor was compassionate, so he became a civil official.

Lord Li glanced at Princess Yan and Prince Rong beside him, still with a straightforward temperament, and arched his hand: "Back to the emperor, Weichen came to kill Master Xuanzi for the sake of his master." ”

Nuan Jin's face was helpless, after all, he was going to involve the front court, I was afraid that things would not be so easy to do.

"Xuanzi killed himself? What is Master Lee's opinion? The emperor asked quietly, in a flat tone.

"Your Majesty, the master of Xuanzi and the master of Xuancheng have been eliminated from the clan because of the involvement of the Jia clan

caused repercussions, and now Xuancheng and Xuanzi masters have killed themselves back and forth, whether it is the previous dynasty or the market, I am afraid that even the harem is full of rumors, and if it goes on like this, it will definitely damage the emperor's reputation. ”

The emperor was silent and waited for Master Li to continue.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yan visited Master Xuanzi before he committed suicide, so Weichen asked the emperor to investigate thoroughly!"

As soon as Master Li finished speaking, Prince Rong knelt down: "Please ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly." ”

Their performance seemed to have determined that Nuan Jin was the murderer who forced Lou Xuanzi to commit suicide, she was helpless, but she also had a clear conscience.

Nuan Jin also knelt down, raised his hands to his eyebrows, and bowed deeply: "Please ask my father to investigate thoroughly, and it is good to return the innocence of my son." ”

The emperor took a deep look at Nuan Jin, his expression was dripping, and no one could spy on his thoughts: "This matter will be handed over to Lord Li to investigate, Princess Yan is implicated in it, and now she is back in Qiwu Palace to be grounded, and she will make a decision after the matter is settled, Prince Rong." The Emperor looked at Prince Rong, "Do you have any objections?" ”

"Wechen don't dare! Emperor Shengming! ”

The emperor nodded, and just wanted to wave everyone away, he listened to Jin Xiangrong outside the hall and asked to see him.

The corners of Nuan Jin's lips were slightly raised, and for some reason, her heart was relieved.

Her subtle little expression was fully seen by Cen Run, who was standing beside the emperor, and now that she had a difficult matter, what she wanted to rely on was no longer herself.

"Let him in." The emperor glanced at Nuan Jin and said coldly.

Jin Xiangrong walked in and greeted the emperor with a salute.

The emperor said goodbye: "Today's Qiande Palace is really lively, the little prince is here, presumably for Xuanzi to kill himself, right?" ”

Jin Xiangrong was not in a hurry: "Back to the emperor, yesterday it was Weichen and Princess Yan who went together, and they have never been separated during this period, so what Princess Yan said, Weichen knows clearly." ”

"But the little prince is the fiancé of Princess Yan......" Although Prince Rong's voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly.

What he meant was that even if Nuan Jin said something about persecuting Lou Xuanzi, Jin Xiangrong, as Nuan Jin's fiancé, would be partial to Nuan Jin, and it was impossible to tell the truth.

Jin Xiangrong naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to rely on this to turn the tables for Nuan Jin, he smiled at Prince Rong: "That's natural, what Weichen means, if Princess Yan is at fault, Weichen is also at fault." ”

Master Li stood silent, silently watching their every move.

Jin Xiangrong retracted his gaze, glanced at the warm brocade beside him, gave her a reassuring look, and looked at the emperor again: "Your Majesty, this morning after Weichen learned that Xuanzi had committed suicide, he felt that something was wrong, because when Weichen and Princess Yan went yesterday, although she had mood swings, there was no sign of suicide, so Weichen quietly went to Prince Rong's mansion again, and also saw the bodies of Xuanzi and her maidservant. ”

Prince Rong frowned and did not speak.

"According to the news reported by Prince Rong, after Lou Xuanzi committed suicide, the servant girl also followed him in fear of sin?"

Jin Xiangrong is question, Prince Rong listened to it, and answered yes.

"That's strange, Wei Chen checked the body of the maid and found that she was wearing a high-necked satin dress, such clothes are heavy, not like the clothes worn in May, more like the autumn or early spring when the cold season, Wei Chen felt strange, so he investigated carefully, and found that the maid's clothes were buttoned in a few wrong places, and even the tie on the waist of the skirt was also reversed, very much like ...... Someone else dressed her. ”

Jin Xiangrong looked at Prince Rong's expression carefully, and saw that his eyes were erratic, and continued: "Naturally, this is not enough to explain anything, so Weichen thought, what is she wearing clothes that are not in season?" Or is it to block something? ”

Jin Xiangrong looked at Nuan Jin again, Nuan Jin was listening attentively, and when he saw him suddenly ask himself, he suddenly realized: "Neck!" ”

Jin Xiangrong nodded approvingly: "Princess Yan is right, isn't it strange to wear high-collared clothes at this time?" So Weichen untied the maid's collar, and saw something incredible. ”

"What's the matter?" The emperor listened very carefully, and asked after hearing the words.

"Under the slave's collar, in addition to the strangulation marks of the rope, there are ten clear fingerprints."

Lord Li Lanyu said in a deep voice: "She was strangled to death? ”

Jin Xiangrong nodded: "Weichen dared to guess that it should be that this servant girl saw something she shouldn't have seen in the middle of the night, and was killed and killed, and then disguised as a suicide and hung on the beam of the house with Lou Xuanzi." ”

"That'...... Maybe Lou Xuanzi was about to kill himself, but it happened that the servant girl saw it, and Lou Xuanzi killed the killer first, killing the servant girl first and then killing himself? Prince Rong sweated on his forehead and hurriedly explained.

This possibility is not impossible, so Weichen also found a doctor to conduct an autopsy, proving that Lou Xuanzi died at least an hour before the maidservant. Therefore, the servant girl must have been killed after Lou Xuanzi's death, and Wei Chen also found a little flesh and blood in the nail of the servant girl, as if the murderer scratched the skin and remained in the nails when he was killed, but Wei Chen asked the imperial doctor to check Lou Xuanzi's body, and there was no damage on the whole body. ”

"But ......"

"Alright." The emperor interrupted what Prince Rong was about to say, "Lord Li." ”

"Wechen is here!" Master Li arched his hands and bowed to the emperor.

"Did you hear that?"

"Wechen heard it clearly."

"Hmm." The emperor played with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and looked at everyone with heavy eyebrows, "I ordered you to investigate this matter thoroughly, and you must investigate it carefully, I want to see who is making trouble in the middle, and I want to frame Princess Yan." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will strictly investigate this matter! Be sure to give the emperor an explanation! ”

"Okay, since this matter has nothing to do with Princess Yan, there is no need to ground."

Nuan Jin smiled and went down: "Son, thank your father!" ”

After making a fuss for this little day, the emperor was already a little tired, and waved his hand to tell everyone to kneel down.

Everyone knelt down and quit the Qiande Palace, but when they came out again, they had their own thoughts.

"Lord Li, the matter of Xuanzi is entrusted to Lord Li, and the real culprit must be found out and severely punished!"

Li Lanyu said: "Princess Yan, please rest assured, Weichen will do his best!" ”

Nuan Jin nodded, and turned to Prince Rong again: "Prince Rong can rest assured this time, with Master Li here, Xuanzi will definitely be fair." ”

"Weichen ......" Prince Rong knew that he had offended Princess Yan and Jin Xiangrong, and wanted to explain something, but he didn't think that Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong were not holding him around at all, so he turned around and left.

"Thank you for coming to my rescue." Nuan Jin walked beside Jin Xiangrong, and this sentence was very sincere.

"If you call me, even if it is the end of the world, I will go to you non-stop."

What he said was honest and affectionate, Nuan Jin listened, her heart beat fiercely unconsciously, she pretended not to care, and turned her head: "It's just that I pity Lou Xuanzi, who died so inexplicably." ”
