The palace is heavily guarded, and those who can sneak in late at night to avoid patrolling soldiers are either martial arts masters who are higher than the forbidden army, or they are familiar with the palace.

He lives here at the emperor's will, the emperor's disposition has not yet come down, if he escapes at this time, he will become a fugitive, and then it will be really unclear.

It's just that he didn't expect those people to get the news so quickly.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" the patrol soldier broke through the door roughly, his eyes looking around vigilantly, and his weapon in his hand tightly.

Lu Yuanbai's expression returned to calm and told him everything about Fang Cai, but he didn't really expect these soldiers to catch that person.

"You have to report to the emperor quickly, just because the king escaped by chance, don't let him hurt others. ”

"Yes!" the soldier closed the door and went out.

There was no further movement that night, and early the next morning, the maid who was cleaning the pavilion found a female corpse on the side of the stone road, and was so frightened that she panicked and slurred her speech.

This incident quickly alarmed the emperor, and soon found out the identity of this woman, who was the person Zhong Jingsong brought into the palace yesterday, and also an important witness to Lu Yuanbai.

The emperor's gloomy face turned blue again, and with a wave of his big hand, he asked Zhong Jingsong to investigate again, and learned that someone saw Lu Yuanbai's guards appear in the palace last night.

It just so happened that Lu Yuanbai was not here now, so some people wondered if he was rescued by the guards, and he was bumped into by the woman on the way to escape, so he chose to kill him.

"Although this situation also makes sense, but there is no evidence, you can't make a conclusion easily, I don't want to wronged anyone!"

"Your Majesty, then bring the prince here now and see how he can explain it. As soon as the minister proposed, the emperor nodded and agreed.

Another courtier stood up, and his voice was indignant: "The minister thinks that the words of the fourth prince cannot be trusted, he is clever and skillful, relying on the emperor's tolerance to deal with it, and he will be even worse next time." ”

The two were evenly matched, the woman's body was carried down for disposal, and the emperor's eyes fell on the unknown Zhong Jingsong: "What does Lord Zhong think?"

Zhong Jingsong came back to his senses and expressed his opinion: "The minister also feels that before the matter is settled, he can't make a conclusion, and he should give the fourth prince a chance to explain." ”

"Hmm. The emperor nodded in response, and the people who went out to find Lu Yuanbai did not come for a long time, and some people began to wonder if he really absconded without permission.

"Please give the emperor an order to search for the four princes throughout the process!" Lu Yuanbai walked in from outside the hall, and the first thing he heard was this.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth lukewarmly, but he wasn't really smiling, and coldness oozed from his eyes: "Isn't this king still standing here?

"This ......" The person who had just spoken looked at him stupidly, and did not dare to speak again.

The emperor saw this scene in his eyes, and did not blame him too much, and focused his attention entirely on Lu Yuanbai: "It's best to tell the truth with me, what do you have to say about the woman's death this morning?"

Lu Yuanbaijun's face was slightly raised, an unknown smile flashed at the bottom of the pool, and his thin lips curled a little: "Does the imperial brother think that this also has something to do with me?"

"In the face of human life, the four princes can also laugh, it can be seen that they do not pay attention to the people, not only for people, but also for psychological problems!"

The emperor's face sank, on one side was the Zhao family, and on the other side was the sick and weak younger brother, this is indeed a thorny question, not to mention that he is still the emperor.

"Didn't you go out last night? Then why do some people claim to have seen your guards, even the forbidden army in the palace can't protect you?"

Lu Yuanbai chuckled twice, and his attitude was still calm: "The younger brother has never gone out, but there are thieves who broke into the younger brother, but he can't catch him with his own hands, because the younger brother is ineffective." ”

This incident also alarmed the soldiers patrolling at that time, and the emperor knew as soon as he asked. ”

"Oh?" the emperor was amused, and then asked, "Then can you see what the other party looks like?" ”

Lu Yuanbai shook his head indifferently, "No, the younger brother said this just to prove that the woman's death had nothing to do with the younger brother, and the younger brother did not abscond in private." ”

The prince's eyes were full of disbelief, and he sneered and said, "Then Uncle Huang's words, isn't it the same whether he said it or not?"

"If this king had the intention to kill her, he would not have let her survive in the first place, and he would not have let her body be found so easily, in short, this king has a clear conscience!"

Lu Yuanbai said just a few words, biting the attitude of not admitting it, although the emperor and everyone doubted it, there was no definite evidence.

The emperor snorted angrily, and his brows twisted into a Sichuan shape: "Then give me a good check!"

Zhong Jingsong turned around and looked at Lu Yuanbai's meaningless gaze, he took the lead in looking away and walked out, and the prince quickly followed when he saw this scene.

"Lord Zhong stayed. ”

"Your Highness. Zhong Jingsong turned around and saw that it was the prince, so he stopped and saluted.

The prince looked at him very haughtyly, and knew his ability to do things, so he wanted him to find out about it, so that he could have a long face in front of his father.

"You didn't tell your father about the last time, this palace is very satisfied with this, I hope you don't take that joke last time, you don't take it to heart. ”

Someone patted him on the shoulder, Zhong Jingsong subconsciously dodged: "Naturally not." ”

The prince's face was stunned, although he was a little displeased, he didn't attack at this time, and raised his head and swept towards Lu Yuanbai's figure: "This imperial uncle in this palace is really a trouble, how does Lord Zhong plan to solve it?"

Zhong Jingsong pretended not to understand his words: "It depends on what the emperor means." ”

"Something that doesn't look good!" the prince saw that he didn't know how to lift, so he left him and left.

However, in the Four Kings' Mansion, Lu Yuanbai was not in the mansion, Chi Yingchu felt relaxed wherever he went, and Liu Yuezhi was worried that something would happen, so he always asked the maid to come over to inquire about the news.

"The Zhao family must not have done this thing from the prince, the prince has a bad reputation on weekdays, but he will not be unkind to such a field, then the Zhao family is completely innocent!"

"Since it's not, then the emperor will definitely let him come back, what do you have to worry about?"

When Chi Yingchu saw her walking around, she really felt a headache and wanted her to sit down and rest.

Liu Yuezhi looked at her deeply, and said angrily: "But the prince was in the palace all night, and now I don't know what happened......... I wonder why you're not nervous at all?"

"It's useless to be nervous, so I'm not nervous. Not only was she nervous, she wanted to laugh, and this rival was very difficult.

If he is involved this time, he can't be uprooted, and it can also hurt his vitality.

Chi Yingchu didn't want to worry about Lu Yuanbai with her, so she found an excuse to go out, and happened to see Zhong Jingsong dismounting, she ran over quickly.

"How's it going?"

Zhong Jingsong glanced at her, and the guards at the gate of the palace were also there, so it was inconvenient to say some things, so he could only say simply: "That woman died yesterday." ”

Chi Yingchu's eyes were shocked, her face changed suddenly, and she felt incredulous: "Wasn't she still ...... yesterday?"

"She was killed by an arrow at night, although her death was not directly related to Lu Yuanbai, but she did lose her life after identifying Lu Yuanbai. ”

Then Lu Yuanbai's suspicion should be greater, but why hasn't there been any news yet?

Chi Yingchu's eyes became solemn, and Zhong Jingsong suddenly grabbed her hand: "I have evidence of his crime, and now I need you to follow me into the palace." ”
