Before the beginning of summer, the weather in the capital is still very comfortable, and all families are enjoying the last comfortable time before the arrival of summer. Although the Prince's Mansion also frequently received invitations from the princes and ministers, he had no intention of doing so, and was busy in the palace every day, and the people from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Jiao family had to report to the Prince's Mansion almost every day; Naturally, all of this is because Emperor Li Ming requested a re-investigation of the case of the Yuan family's rebellion and the explosion in Xishan, and all matters were handed over to the crown prince Li Yao for investigation and handling, and ordered the assistant director of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to listen to the prince's deployment arrangements.

Many years have passed since the Yuan family's case, and when Li Yao opened the file from many years ago, the paper was already yellowed, and some pages fell if he accidentally used a little force. Naturally, many of the witnesses of that year have also passed away or have not been heard from at all, and many of the physical evidences that have been sealed for too long have also been corrupted. But Li Yao's attitude is very firm and very convinced: Investigate, investigate to the end, there must be evidence, there must be clues.

Although the Criminal Department and Dali Temple secretly complained about this, but since this matter is the will of His Majesty, it is not rumored in Beijing that the prince has to take over this difficult errand for the woman of the Lin family, and the two departments can only bite the bullet, coincidentally, since the opening of the court to retry the case, the two departments can always receive some evidence and clues sent by someone so coincidentally, but these evidence and clues can be found in one check, everything seems to be really as said in Beijing, "God opens his eyes, if God helps", so this case is handled smoothly. Seeing that it didn't take much time, Li Yao sorted out the whole thing from beginning to end, how the explosion in Xishan was formed, who started to spread the remarks that the Yuan family was punished for rebellion, through whose mouth, the various relationships between this person and the criminal Li Rao, some evidence of the so-called rebellion and the flaws in the exchange of letters, etc., all the important physical evidence and human evidence have been reviewed and retained, the evidence chain is complete, and the case is clear, including all kinds of physical evidence provided by the Lin family during the investigation of the case, which were finally preserved back then, etc. Everything is clear and clear, when Li Yao entered the palace with the file of Chen Yu about the case, he happened to meet Jiao Ran, the head of the household, who was reporting to His Majesty about the situation of the treasury in the first half of this year.

"The sons and daughters knock on their father, long live their father, long live. ”

"Oh, the prince is here, get up quickly. ”

"The son didn't know that his father was discussing with Master Jiao, and thought it didn't matter, so he asked Gonggong Li to come in and report it, and asked his father to forgive him. ”

"Hehe, it's okay," Li Huang looked at the things in Li Yao's hand, and then at Jiao Ran, who was standing next to him, and knew it in his heart, so he smiled: "Presumably the prince has already found out about the affairs of the Yuan family back then?" ”

"Yes, Father. The two cases of the Yuan family's rebellion and the Xishan explosion have now been clarified, and all the physical witnesses and witnesses have been taken into custody by the Criminal Department.

"Present it. ”

Although the re-investigation of the old case caused a lot of sensation in Beijing, it did not cause any waves in the entire Li Dynasty, after all, time has changed, and everyone is not very interested in a Yuan family whose family has been dead for a long time. This matter spread to Xiaonanguo, although Yao Jin thought about it for a while, in the end he only said one sentence: "I heard that the Yuan family was loyal to the martyrs, and they were able to return their innocence, and Yu Yuebai was also beneficial and harmless, this matter is not a bad thing." ”

At this time, although Wang Xiangren sat down, lowering his head as if listening to Yao Jin carefully, it was not until Yao Jin called him twice that he suddenly stood up: "Your Highness, please command!"

"Look at you like this, what's wrong, but you're not feeling well?"

"No, it's a subordinate who has wandered, please forgive your highness. ”

"Could it be...... Isn't it Lu Tao? Hasn't her illness improved yet?"

"His Royal Highness Xie cares, she ...... insider" Wang Xiang finally shook his head heavily, "I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"Why? Didn't the doctor Zhao Sheng find before say that his medical skills are very high?" Yao Jin was a little surprised, got up and walked quickly to Wang Xiang's side, and said with concern: "It's not good, why don't you tell me? If that doctor can't do it, I'll write to Chu Ling immediately——"

"Don't bother, Your Highness!" Wang Xiang looked at Yao Jin, his eyes were dark blue, and there were obvious bloodshots in his eyes, he shook his head, his voice was calm and sad, "The doctor is very dedicated, but her body is really ......"

"How long has it been since you said that she is not in good health? Why is it so serious all of a sudden?" Yao Jin paused for a moment and raised his head and said, "I'll go see her!"

Wang Xiang didn't want Yao Jin to know about Lu Tao's condition, but he also knew that her temperament was naturally unstoppable, so he begged Yao Jin to wait before entering the house and begged Yao Jin not to tell Lu Tao about asking for another famous doctor, until Yao Jin reluctantly agreed, and he led her into the house.

As soon as he smelled the strong smell of medicine and the dull air in the room, Yao Jin felt bad in his heart, and walked quickly to the bed, seeing that Xuannu had just finished feeding a bowl of medicine, and her face was also indescribably sad, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"If you don't tell me, if I don't come again, wouldn't it-" Seeing Lu Tao, who was pale as paper on the bed and so thin that he no longer looked good, Yao Jin's words came to an abrupt end. She really couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the lady of the Wang family who had been smiling gently and sweetly, had a big belly and wandered around, made countless snacks for her, and was repeatedly envied by Yuebai for both children and daughters, and that Lu Tao was only in her early twenties.

"Your Highness......"

Seeing her struggling to get up, Yao Jin hurriedly took her hand and sat on the edge of the bed, "You don't want to get up, you just lie down." ”

Lu Tao nodded effortlessly and looked at Yao Jin gently. Since she was sick, it seemed that she hadn't seen His Royal Highness the Lord, who was in a hurry, and at this moment, Lu Tao wanted to smile at her, as she had done countless times before, and smiled at His Royal Highness the Lord, who should be unattainable, but had always treated her and her children like relatives and friends, but this smile seemed to take a lot of effort, she could only slowly feel the warmth brought by Yao Jin's hand holding her, and tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth. Yao Jin thought she was going to ask Wang Xiang, so she hurriedly turned sideways and pointed to the back and said, "Don't worry, he's here." ”

Lu Tao's gaze slowly turned to Wang Xiang, who was standing not far away. These days he always stays by her side, serving tea and water, feeding food and medicine, and doing everything himself, which makes her very happy, because he has not been with her for so long for a long time, he is always busy, and he always comes to see her and the child, but he quickly goes to the study or goes to the Nanguo Mansion - But Lu Tao seems to feel that she slowly doesn't understand him, just like this time, he has said a lot of things to her, but there are many things that she doesn't want to hear, and she doesn't understand, she can only look at him quietly, pretending that she is still the poor but happy little girl a few years ago, and he is still the little brother next door who is hungry and wants to study, they were childhood sweethearts, they once said that they would take care of each other for the rest of their lives, he did it, she has been so happy these years, but also so lost-
