Almost on the same day, no matter how much the news leaked out, the murder of the eldest princess was still reported, and the initiator was unknown, and this incident caused a boom in Kyoto.

After all, in addition to the identity of the eldest princess, she is also the wife of the Marquis of An Guo, and she is also a member of the royal family, no matter which point it is, it is enough to make this matter a casual conversation after dinner, but it must be discussed quietly, otherwise it will be pulled out and convicted if the people in the government hear it.

This incident also caused a sensation among the upper class, the people below only knew that the eldest princess of the dynasty was killed, and the others did not know, and the people above not only knew this, but also knew that the princess of His Royal Highness the Prince had escaped from the palace not long ago, which made everyone stunned, and the news came too quickly, and they said that they could not react.

These two things will definitely not be hidden, so simply follow the guidance to narrow down this matter, then this matter will be turned into a small matter on Song Zhancheng's body, it is much better than putting Cheng Jingyun in front of the emperor.

However, it was also a few hours, and a decree came from the palace, and Song Zhancheng, the crown prince of Xuan, entered the palace to face the saint.

Song Zhancheng was not surprised, and even felt that this holy decree was a little late, even if he was like this now, but how could he not put his mind outside at all, otherwise it would be him, His Royal Highness the Prince, who might be pulled into the dead alley at that time.

It took a while to clean himself up before entering the palace, but it was still difficult to hide the sadness and low pressure on his face, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Royal Highness the Prince, who was already very cold, was even colder after this incident, almost no one dared to approach within a radius of ten miles, for fear that one would be killed as anger if he was not careful, of course, this was also impossible, but it was not hindered that they were afraid of offending Song Zhancheng, so they both drilled aside, but the people who supported the princeling Song Zhancheng still felt that it was okay.

Naturally, this matter would not be said in public in the Taihe Palace, so Song Zhancheng was summoned to the emperor's imperial study.

"The sons and daughters see their father, and greet their father." Song Zhancheng saluted the Wing Emperor and bowed his head.

It's still dawn, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is pleased, this is just the time before he went to the court, and all the civil and military officials are still in the future, but he has already arrived in the imperial study.

The emperor just looked at Song Zhancheng quietly and didn't speak, the two of them were here and no one spoke, they both knew what the other party meant, but Song Zhancheng didn't want to open his mouth and didn't want to say it, that incident had already made him sad too much, and he didn't want to mention it again, but no, how could the emperor not answer when he asked, so he could only wait for the other party to speak first.

In the end, it was the emperor who couldn't hold his breath first, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”

Song Zhancheng naturally knew what he was asking.

The emperor didn't let him be exempted, so he could only kneel like this, after all, this is what he should do, and he himself has not forgiven himself.

Song Zhancheng pursed his lips and was silent, then sighed again, and finally said, "Yesterday night, I suddenly heard that someone came to report that the eldest princess died in the room, and there was Mengxi in the room, holding a personal sword blade in her hand, lying in a pool of blood. ”

"It means that Mengxi killed Zhaohua?"

The emperor directly grasped the key with a single word, and asked Song Zhancheng to admit that it was not a denial or a denial, and he was simply silent.

He is very confused about this matter now, and he doesn't want to believe that it was Cheng Jingyun's personal figure Tanmengxi who killed Song Zhaohua, but the factual evidence is placed in front of his eyes one by one, so he has to believe it, refute and refute each other, and have a headache.

"I remember." Emperor Yu Guang saw that Song Zhancheng was silent and didn't say anything, he had already admitted it in his heart, and then said slowly, "This Mengxi is the person next to Cheng Jingyun, right?" ”

Just this sentence made Song Zhancheng's head suddenly raised, his eyes were very complicated, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his lips were straight like a sharp blade, "It is not ruled out that he was instructed by someone else." ”

But he himself didn't believe it when he said this, Mengxi's loyalty to Cheng Jingyun was in his eyes, and it was almost impossible to say that there would be a betrayal, unless Song Zhancheng himself didn't want her, but this is an even more impossible thing, and if these things are strung together, then the evidence will point directly to the person behind Mengxi, Cheng Jingyun.

This is something that Song Zhancheng definitely doesn't want to see, but he still can't explain it to An Guohou, even the emperor here he doesn't know how to speak, could it be that with his trust and relationship with Cheng Jingyun, she is not the one who will kill Song Zhaohua?

But if he says this, he will definitely be scolded by a group of people, saying that his sister was killed, and he still helped the murderer speak, Song Zhancheng is now in a dilemma, and it is difficult to find a way to compromise.

So, what to do?

The emperor seemed to sneer when he heard Song Zhancheng's words, and laughed at Song Zhancheng's infatuation and did not change his words.

Song Zhaohua's death did make him very angry, but he was far from being so angry that he lost his mind, they were all his children, and he would naturally seek justice for the other party, but if this matter involved another prince and he was still a prince, it would be a different matter.

In fact, it is not unreasonable for him to think of the words that Song Zhaohua said to him before, now that she is dead, Song Zhancheng still protects Cheng Jingyun like this, if Cheng Jingyun is really made the crown princess, then the sunny thing will definitely be Song Zhancheng was eaten to death by Cheng Jingyun, and it is difficult to become a unification.

So looking at Song Zhancheng's gaze, there was a hint of hatred for iron and steel, and he naturally appreciated the deep affection of people, but this fell on the heart of the emperor is a joke, how many kings throughout the ages have been unable to judge the example of beauty being killed in the end without even a piece of clothing, he can't see that Song Zhancheng will repeat the same mistakes in the future.

"Regardless of whether that Mengxi was instructed by others or not, then at least she is still the person next to Cheng Jingyun, right?"

The emperor didn't give Song Zhancheng a chance to take a breath, and then asked again, "Then this matter has nothing to do with her, where is the person who killed Zhaohua now?" ”

Song Zhancheng clenched his fists, "In the dungeon of Prince Jin's mansion." ”

Seeing this, the emperor directly ordered, "Okay, put it in your dungeon first, now, lead the army to find Cheng Jingyun, and then bring it back to listen to the trial, as for the truth about the killing of the eldest princess, block the news and not spread it to the world." ”

Song Zhancheng paused, was silent for a long time, and knew that this was a compromise on the part of the emperor, otherwise he would have directly ordered Cheng Jingyun to be captured by the whole country, so he still had to agree. "Son's command."

He then retired.

This matter is too complicated, Song Zhancheng thought, what if this matter was really not done by Mengxi? Didn't she just deny it all the time last time, and who was the person who killed her sister? When did it come out again? How long has it been since God appeared and buried again?

None of this is known, and if this is the case, it will be even more difficult.

And at present, he is asking him to lead his troops to find out.

What is the truth of the facts?

Whether it is really Cheng Jingyun or someone else, whether they can find the real culprit or not, they will all go to get the result.
