It seems that the guard is indeed Zhou Huanchun's person, and since she has come to mention it in person, it means that he can tell the truth. It's just that if this truth is said, I'm afraid that inside the palace, the sky will change.

At this time, he really had mixed feelings in his heart.

Zhou Huanchun smiled, "Okay, then I won't say anything, go back first, remember to be obedient, and avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”

Usually Long Xuanji is arraigned in the afternoon, just to provide a convenient time to visit the prison, in the morning.

And usually in the afternoon, it is the time when people are most relaxed, sleepy, and relaxed, so if Long Xuansi handles the case at this time, the prisoner may be confused, and he may really tell the truth.

Unless, those who are particularly psychologically strong, maybe need some means.

After the prison visit, in the afternoon, Liu Heng was arraigned.

The person who interrogated him was tried by Shi Lin, the deputy director of the Long Xuan Division, and the director was only responsible for interrogating the royal heirs and harem concubines. And these people related to the royal case are tried by the deputy director.

Shi Lin sat in the hall, Liu Heng knelt in the hall, no matter what your identity is, how majestic you used to be, when you come to Long Xuansi, you must kneel, this is a way to kill power, if you are not guilty, after you go back, he should kneel for you, or kneel for you.

However, since you have entered the gate of Long Xuansi and entered the prison of Long Xuansi, you must kneel under the hall to be tried.

Other yamen don't have this rule, this rule is set by the emperor himself, other yamen, when they meet people with high status, they are all asked to stand, in case they are not guilty, it will be very embarrassing to see it when the time comes.

"Liu Heng, the official asked you, who gave you bribes for these things?" Shi Lin asked.

"It's Princess Zhou Ning." Liu Heng replied calmly, at this time, he was also calm in his heart, anyway, he should come, forget it, the mood is up and down, looking forward to more, disappointing more, it's better to take refuge directly with peace of mind.

It seems that Princess Zhou Ning has no intention of giving up on him, since she wants him to tell the truth, there must be a way to save him.

"Oh? Why did Princess Zhou Ning give you these? Shi Lin asked curiously.

He also thought that Liu Heng would say something about others, for example, the sixth prince, or the second prince or something, there will always be someone who is framed, right? And this person, I am afraid that whoever the Zhou family supports, who is the biggest enemy of the Zhou family, who will slander him.

Who knows, Liu Heng actually said that it was Princess Zhou Ning directly!? Could it be that Princess Ning came this morning this morning, really not to collude, but to really let Liu Heng tell the truth?

Liu Heng sighed, "Because, Princess Zhou Ning suffers from gains and losses, she always feels that she is a princess with a different surname, she has no biological father, I hope the emperor can really treat her as her own daughter."

So, she thought, give me some gifts, so that I can say more good things to her in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can spoil her more. ”

Shi Lin frowned, "Is it really that simple?" ”

Liu Heng nodded, "Princess Zhou Ning, you can inquire for yourself, whether it is the rumors I heard or the real person I came into contact with, she is such an innocent and stupid child." With a little power, she is arrogant and domineering, and she wants to take revenge on the person who offended her when she disagrees, and I have seen a lot of this kind of person.

It's easy to get the identity of a princess, how can she not suffer from gains and losses, compared to when she was the county lord before, she is more cautious, and even, I advised her to learn some rules, she has learned, although she didn't learn well, but fortunately, the emperor didn't care at all. ”

Shi Lin frowned, "However, someone saw that you received a gift from the Sixth Prince!" ”

Liu Heng sneered, "Deputy Director Shi, I think, you are also a person who mixes with officialdom, you don't understand, right?" Now, several princes are vying for power, you should also know. At present, according to the emperor's intelligence, only the six princes are particularly capable of competing with the second prince and the crown prince.

You say, if I, the closest person to the emperor, collude with the most powerful person, then isn't there only the second prince and the crown prince left? In this way, the closest person to the emperor will be taken down, which is equivalent to missing a right-hand man. At the same time, he also pulled the most powerful prince into the water.

Who is benefiting, I don't need to say more, right? You, Long Xuansi, have tried cases for so many years, and over the years, there have been rebels and those who want to rebel, and there are many of them who are disconnected. ”

Shi Lin pondered for a while and said, "This matter, the official will naturally investigate, and you don't need to talk too much." All you have to do is explain! If the official finds out that you have a relationship with the Six Princes, be careful, at that time, they will not give you a chance to defend themselves. This time is your last chance, and you must think about it. ”

Liu Heng nodded, "I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, just look for evidence, I and the six princes, the south and the north are not close to each other, the emperor doesn't even go to the concubine Niangniang, and the six princes have never appeared in the court, and even, he rarely comes to the palace."

Let's ask, these things are all sent over time, when did his sixth prince come to the palace with such a big box? Even if you count the number of times the six princes have entered the palace in the past 20 years, I'm afraid it's not even a tenth of these gifts, right?

What's more, except for the Zhou family, I'm afraid no one can buy these rare items. Let's just say that this Linshen country, after the destruction of the country more than a hundred years ago, when the last princess was buried, the chilling cicada jade in her mouth was not something that the six princes could afford.

To put it bluntly, the sixth prince, his money is used to support the army, how can he spend such a large price to buy a chilling cicada for me? He's struggling to raise an army now. Do you calculate how much this chilling cicada is worth on the market? This is a priceless thing, not a priceless thing, this is the only one in the world! ”

Liu Heng chuckled, although he knew that this was just a means of the emperor, but since he told the truth, he wanted to develop things in the direction that was most beneficial to the Zhou family.

Only if the Zhou family does not fall, it is possible for him to live a good life. But for now, if it really can't be saved, or the Zhou family itself won't make a good move.

When the time comes, it will be none of his business. At that time, even if he died, it didn't matter, he just hoped that before he died, no one would be involved.

Liu Heng was locked up again, and after Shi Lin sorted everything out, he handed it over to the emperor.

He and the director are two positions, and they are in charge of different positions, although they have official ranks, they are both directly under the emperor.

The two directors did not need to explain anything to each other, but directly to the emperor.

The so-called director and deputy director is an official rank, and the role is that the director will retire or be transferred. Then, the deputy director can take the position of the director.

After doing that position and dealing with things, it naturally changed. What remains unchanged is that they all report directly to the emperor and do not interfere with each other.

When the emperor saw the fold sent by Shi Lin, he was immediately furious, "Bastard! At this time, you still want to push it to the Zhou family?

Old thing, I've been too good to you for so many years, and the justice you said a while ago is awe-inspiring, so don't touch this money bag!

What now? The East Window Incident, you actually want to move your money bag! You want to kill me with the sixth child! Ahem......"

The emperor suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood, and the eunuch who temporarily replaced the emperor saw this, and immediately shouted: "Oh, quickly pass on the imperial doctor, pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

When the imperial doctor came, the emperor coughed up blood and couldn't even stop coughing.

When the imperial doctor took the pulse, he instantly felt strange, "Your Majesty, your body was originally fine, how can you ......?"

The emperor looked at the imperial doctor, his eyes narrowed, "Ahem...... What do you mean? ”

The imperial doctor frowned, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's a little strange, your body is not as good as before, could it be that this medicine is no longer effective?" In this case, it's like you're not taking your medicine.

Today, did you take your medicine? Emperor? ”

The emperor snorted coldly, "Nonsense, I take this medicine every day, how can I not take it?" ”

The imperial doctor sighed, "That's strange, then why doesn't this medicine work?" Your Majesty, can you show the medicine you are taking to your ministers? ”

"Xiao Wuzi, go, bring the medicine! Ahem...... "A hint of gloom flashed in the emperor's eyes, "What do you mean, is there something wrong with this medicine?" ”

The imperial doctor shook his head, "The minister doesn't know yet, wait for the minister to check it clearly, and then make a distinction." ”

After Xiao Wuzi took the medicine back, the imperial doctor immediately poured it in his hand and looked at it, smelled it, and frowned, "There is no problem, it's still this medicine." But why, does it feel like it's not taking any medicine? ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed, "Maybe it's not that there is a problem with the medicine, but that my body is sick!" Recently, Liu Heng has been stirred up, and he is in no mood! I used to be relieved, but now I can't! ”

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have something to tell you!" A voice came from the air, but no one was in sight.

The emperor coughed twice, and immediately waved his hand, "Disperse, I'll call you in later." ”

When everyone was gone, the emperor lay on the bed, his eyes a little hollow and dull, "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, my subordinates investigated that the people of the six princes have been collected and are setting off, I am afraid that they are going to rush to the imperial capital, and the people guarding the gate at the checkpoint are the people of the six princes, and they are being released all the way." The Dark Guard immediately appeared to report.

The emperor snorted coldly, "I'm not dead yet, he actually wants to rebel!" Hehe! Now that the evidence is conclusive, I see what else he has to quibble! Go ahead, get your hands together, do what I told you, and be sure to find the evidence! ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" The Dark Guard vanished instantly.

And, before leaving, tell them that they can all enter the door.

After entering the door, the imperial doctor walked over and said, "Your Majesty, there is another possibility, can you show the elixir to the ministers?" ”

"Haven't the elixirs been checked, and there is no problem?" The Emperor frowned, but he still took a bottle from under his pillow.

After the imperial doctor took the medicine bottle, he opened it and poured out a pill, smelled it, pinched it, licked it in his mouth again, shook his head and said, "There are no irritating herbs, it stands to reason that there will be no problem." This is strange, could it be that it really made Gonggong Liu angry? ”

"Don't talk to me about that dead eunuch! Do you know what the dead eunuch said in prison today? He actually began to slander the Zhou family, he wanted to touch my money bag! Even if he is dying, he will pull me into the water! Am I bad for him? Yes? Tell me!? ”

The emperor was furious, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the imperial doctor hurriedly said, "Quick, come and serve the emperor." Your Majesty, the minister will prescribe a prescription and stabilize the dragon body for you, don't worry, don't be angry! By the way, Your Majesty, do you want to send a lady to accompany you? ”

The imperial physician asked as he wrote about the house.

The emperor's thoughts were distracted, and he began to think, "Call Concubine Lin, this girl is likable, and she is also lively, with her, seeing her smile is also very eye-catching." ”

The imperial doctor immediately ordered, "Go, call Concubine Lin Niangniang to serve the emperor." ”

"Yes!" The palace maid received the order.

After the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine, he kept checking the emperor's pulse and controlling the condition. It wasn't until the medicine was boiled and the emperor drank it that he eased up a little and stopped vomiting blood.

It's just that there is still some coughing, and when I cough, there will still be a little blood streaks out. But it's much better than before.

When the imperial doctor was about to leave, Xiao Wuzi immediately asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to continue to take this medicine?" ”

"Yes, after all, this medicine is for this disease, without this medicine, I'm afraid it won't last long. Remember to eat on time tomorrow, you know? "The Imperial Physician instructed.

Xiao Wuzi immediately nodded, "Hey, okay, our family will tell the emperor to take medicine on time, your lord, you go slowly." ”

After sending off the imperial doctor, Xiao Wuzi returned to the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you still have to continue to take this medicine, let's see the effect tomorrow, that is, don't be angry anymore, for this matter, you are angry, isn't it in vain?"

The dragon body is not yours alone, it belongs to the thousands of people in Jingguo, you must take care of the dragon body, your majesty. ”

The emperor listened to Xiao Wuzi's words, and Liu Heng once said that he knew that anyone would say it, but he believed Liu Heng's words. But now, he can't even believe Liu Heng's words, let alone this person he has only used and is not very familiar with?

Zhou Mansion

Zhou Huanchun's eyes rolled and asked, "Lingmo, when are you going to make a move?" ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "You don't need to worry about this, you just need to have a good baby." ”

At this time, Zhou Lingmo was sitting on the edge of the bed, lying on Zhou Huanchun's stomach and listening to the sound. Wang Hai said that after four months, he could hear the movement.

"I want to know the process!" Zhou Huanchun patted Zhou Lingmo's head.

"My son moved, do you feel it?" Zhou Lingmo looked up excitedly.

Zhou Huanchun pursed her lips, "Nonsense, he's in my stomach, how can he not feel it?" Besides, how can you be sure it's a son? Every day the son and son are talking about it, what should I do when I give birth to a daughter? ”

Zhou Lingmo laughed, "It's best to have a son for the first child, in this way, if you have another daughter, my brother can protect my sister!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Huanchun knew that she still loved her daughter! In order to love my daughter, I look forward to the first child being a son, and then I just want to protect my daughter!
