Yan Nanwan listened, she didn't believe it in her heart, but she didn't show it.

Since the matter of Liucun was taken over by the crown prince Xue Hanmu, he tried to do it himself, and even the people from the East Palace used to investigate the case, and Qin Zhao and the officials of Dali Temple were idle.

Xue Hanmu investigated the matter of Liucun, and his methods were ruthless and resolute, but he got rid of the people in the harem in two days.

Above the early dynasty, Xue Hanmu stood in the center of the main hall and said loudly: "Father, the ministers of Liucun have found out that it is related to the people in the harem. ”

Last time, Xue Yan went to Liucun to investigate the case, was seriously injured, made trouble in the court, and hastily closed the case, except for Qin Zhao, who knew that the matter of Liucun was related to the people in the harem, the other courtiers knew nothing.

Hearing Xue Hanmu's words, the courtiers were all shocked and whispered.

The emperor frowned, listening to the buzzing discussion, and was bored: "The prince continued." ”

Xue Hanmu arched his hand and said: "Erchen found that some of those corpses were eunuchs and came from the harem, so he checked the harem by the way, and finally found out this person hidden in the harem. ”

"Who is it?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

He naturally knew that there were people in the harem involved in this matter, but he didn't expect the prince to investigate it so quickly.

"Concubine Qi. ”

The emperor frowned slightly: "Concubine Qi?"

Xue Hanmu nodded: "Yes, the corpses of those eunuchs have the fragrance of Concubine Qi's palace." ”

The fifth prince, Xue Li, said suspiciously: "Brother Crown Prince, those eunuchs have been dead for a few days, how did you smell the fragrance on their bodies?"

The ministers of the court were also puzzled, and they all looked at Xue Hanmu, and he slowly spoke: "I happened to know an old man in this palace, and he can distinguish various aromas. No matter how long the man had been dead, he could smell it if he touched it. ”

The emperor said: "There is such a person, and the rumor will open my eyes." ”

Xue Hanmu arched his hand: "This person is waiting outside the hall, and the retainer has the courage to let Concubine Qi come to confront him, after all, this matter is very important." ”

"Someone, pass on Concubine Qi. ”

"I heard that there is a big event in the court today, and this prince came to join in the fun. Xue Yan lazily walked in from outside the main hall, holding the collar of a thin old man in his hand, "I heard that he is a master of the Dao, and this prince brought him in." ”

"Old Seven, you are too presumptuous!" Xue Hanmu was annoyed when he saw Xue Yan carrying Master Deyun into the main hall by the collar and throwing it on the ground.

Xue Yan lazily glanced at Xue Hanmu, and hooked his lips slightly: "Why should the crown prince and brother be so angry, my father didn't say that I was presumptuous." ”

The emperor looked at the thin old man lying on the ground, looked at Xue Yan, and looked serious: "Seventh, don't mess around!"

Xue Yan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, walked to the side and stood, holding his arms with both hands, glanced at the thin old man on the ground, and sneered.

"Prince, is this the old man in your mouth?" The emperor looked at the thin old man lying on the ground, and was slightly suspicious in his heart.

Xue Hanmu looked at Master Deyun's embarrassed look, and frowned between his eyebrows: "Yes, Master Deyun is old and can't stand the toss of the old seven." ”

"Brother Crown Prince, what you said is wrong. Xue Yan replied, "This prince used to like to toss women, but now he likes to toss late, how can he ever like to toss men, he is still a thin old man." As he spoke, he glanced at the thin old man with disgust.

"Old Seven. You ......" Xue Hanmu was naturally not as thick-skinned as Xue Yan, and said after a while, "This palace doesn't mean that." ”

"Since it doesn't mean that, I'll trouble the crown prince and brother to make it clear next time. Xue Yan casually glanced at the courtiers in the main hall, and raised his eyebrows, "Lest my father and the ministers misunderstand, and there are some rumors in the capital." This prince is used to it, but Wan'er is a face-heavy, so she will inevitably be sad when she hears it. ”

Xue Li said with a smile: "The seventh is really good to the seventh princess. ”

"After all, it's the woman I married, no matter how ...... it is," Xue Yan waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, why hasn't Concubine Qi come yet, this prince is still waiting to see the excitement and go to Chunfeng Tower!"

The emperor sank his face and said solemnly: "Old Seven!"

A group of ministers cast a very sympathetic look at Yan Chengyi, although the daughter is married to the royal family, but these seven princes are too dissolute and romantic, I don't know how the only daughter of Yan Mansion lives?

Although Yan Chengyi was worried in his heart, he remembered that when the Three Dynasties returned to the door, Xue Yan took care of Yan Nan in the evening, and he was also comforted a lot.

Concubine Qi was brought into the main hall by two guards, saluted the emperor, and waited quietly aside.

The emperor looked at her and asked coldly, "Concubine Qi, are you guilty?"

Concubine Qi smiled: "The concubine doesn't know what crime she has committed?"

"Prince, you talk to her. ”

Xue Hanmu gave up his hand and walked in front of Concubine Qi, with a respectful face and a cold tone: "There is a lack of eunuchs in Concubine Qi's palace?"

Concubine Qi was slightly stunned, and said slowly: "Less, not long ago, a little eunuch in the palace made a mistake clumsily, and the concubine sent him out of the palace. ”

"So easy?"

"What does the prince want to ask?"

Xue Hanmu glanced at her and looked at Master Deyun who was standing not far away: "Master Deyun, I'm tired of smelling the fragrance on Concubine Qi's body." ”

The thin old man nodded, walked to Concubine Qi's side, and leaned towards her.

Concubine Qi's face changed, she took two steps back, and her eyes were resentful: "What does the prince mean by this? This palace is the emperor's concubine, is it his turn to humiliate me?"

Xue Hanmu looked at the emperor in the high position, the emperor glanced at Concubine Qi, and said, "The prince is investigating the case, you should cooperate." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines ......"

Xue Li spoke: "Concubine Qi, if you want to prove your innocence, you should cooperate with the crown prince and brother, otherwise you ......."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she looked at Xue Li deeply, and then looked at the emperor in the high position complainingly, standing in place and not saying a word.

Xue Hanmu beckoned, and the thin old man stepped forward, sniffed around Concubine Qi, nodded, and arched his hand: "It's indeed the same." ”

The emperor was furious: "Concubine Qi, you still don't admit your guilt!"

Concubine Qi has always liked to develop various spices, and the incense she used is also blended by herself, so it is impossible for anyone to frame her.

Concubine Qi said coldly: "The emperor believes in him so much, what if he is here to frame his concubine?"

"Prince. ”

"Father, Master Deyun is willing to accept any test. Xue Han said.

The emperor asked Gonggong Cui to take hundreds of spices and mix them together, so that the thin old man could distinguish them one by one, and the thin old man quickly distinguished hundreds of spices one by one, and they were all the same.

"Concubine Qi, what else do you have to say?" the emperor was furious.

Concubine Qi raised her head, looked at the emperor in the high position, and sneered sadly: "The concubine has nothing to say." The corpses found in Liucun were indeed made by the concubines, and the emperor wanted to kill or chop them, so he listened to them. ”

"You ......" The emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time when he saw her like this, "You slut!"

Concubine Qi sneered: "The concubine is indeed cheap enough!"
