However, the next day, the news of the housekeeper's escape from prison spread throughout Shangjing, and the emperor was completely angry and ordered a strict investigation, some people suspected that the prince had done it, but there was no evidence.

No matter how much the emperor looked, he didn't doubt the prince's intentions, no one could say for sure about this kind of thing, so naturally no one really spoke.

The prince walked into the prison and saw Song Er who was being imprisoned, and as soon as the latter saw him, he stood up excitedly and begged: "Your Highness, you want to save me, I will do things for you." ”

"What do you mean by that?" the prince laughed proudly, without the slightest attitude of acknowledging, "When did this palace let you do?"

"You ......" Song Erqi pointed at him, and his body fluctuated violently.

The prince's eyes cooled, and suddenly a palm hit his hand, he felt as if his hand was about to be wasted: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, this palace will make your life worse than death!"

"Your Highness doesn't think that if you kill me, you can really sit back and relax, right?"

Song Er only saw his true face at this time, but it was too late, and he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but he couldn't help him.

There are no soldiers around, and the prince is not afraid of his words getting out, anyway, they are all dying people, so it doesn't hurt to let him die clearly.

"Since things have come to this point, you might as well let you die and understand, from arranging for someone to send you out of the city, this palace must let you die, you can't live. ”

Hearing him say this, the assassin he encountered outside the city was really intentional by the prince.

"Even Zhong Jingsong can't help this palace, let alone you are a waste? You have entered here, don't want to get out alive!"

Song Er's eyes were full of unwillingness after being deceived, and he asked angrily: "The housekeeper in the prince's mansion should have been secretly sent out by the prince, right?"

"What does it have to do with you?" the prince did not admit or deny.

After all, the housekeeper took the blame for him, and he didn't want the housekeeper to be locked up in prison, and he didn't want the housekeeper to live outside.

It's just that the emperor is keeping an eye on it now, so he doesn't have a chance to make a move.

"Naturally, it has nothing to do with me, Your Highness is so ruthless, it is impossible for anyone to be sincere to you in the future, Your Highness will be lonely for the rest of your life!"

The prince knew that he was unbalanced, so he didn't say much to him, and before leaving, he asked the soldiers guarding the prison to take good care of him.

Finally waited until the night, Chi Yingchu took advantage of the exchange of forbidden troops to break in, so he wanted to ask Zhong Jingsong for clarification, and found that it was no different from what Lu Yuanbai said.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, even if I no longer be the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, I will stay in Shangjing to help you. "If the cause of Chi Yingchu's death is not clarified, he will not leave for a day.

Chi Yingchu looked into his eyes, and quickly looked away, the corners of his mouth trembled: "I will find out, and the emperor can also return your innocence." ”

"Hmm. He nodded faintly, and the patrol guard checked, and he hid her temporarily, "It's not suitable for you to stay here longer, you better go back quickly." ”

Zhong Jingsong opened the door to push her away, pondered for a long time, as if he had made a major decision: "I can see that Lu Yuanbai will not want your life now, you have him to protect you, it will not be good for the time being." ”

Chi Yingchu's throat rolled, and he couldn't help but glance back at him, and he also knew that it was annoying to be discovered by the forbidden army, and he was still found when he turned out of the wall.

More than a dozen forbidden army weapons pointed at her, and suddenly an assassin appeared in another place, and the forbidden army hurried to chase after her, and Chi Yingchu took the opportunity to be taken away by the guards.

She thought it was the prince's person, but she was thrown into the carriage, pulled out the hairpin on her head to defend herself, and looked up to see that the other party was Lu Yuanbai.

Her heart instantly relaxed, and she inexplicably felt a lot more stable: "Why is the prince here?"

Lu Yuanbai didn't answer her words, the carriage moved forward very fast, and deliberately ran around the long street, until he got rid of the forbidden army behind him, and then returned to the palace.

"If this king doesn't show up tonight, then you will be locked up with Zhong Jingsong. ”

"Then should I thank the prince?" she thought he was talking about the conditions, and asked him tentatively.

Lu Yuanbai still didn't care: "There are too many people who want to thank this king, and this king doesn't lack these two words, but he lacks a warm bed." ”

Chi Yingchu pretended not to hear him, pushed him hard and ran away, Lu Yuanbai's eyes instantly became gloomy.

For the matter of dealing with the housekeeper of the prince's mansion, it was also something that Zhen Guogong didn't expect, since he lost his daughter, Mrs. Chi was depressed all day long, and rarely went out, so that every day when he came back from the court, he would accompany his wife, and he had no intention of anything else.

But since the emperor personally handed over the matter to him, he couldn't shirk it, so he could only seriously investigate and find out, and Mrs. Chi naturally didn't allow it.

"In the first few days, I couldn't sleep well all night, and I dreamed that she was still alive every night, as if she was still alive by our side, but when I woke up, I found that it was just a big dream. ”

Mrs. Chi was teary-eyed, and grabbed Zhen Guogong's hand tightly: "Even if I don't want to face the facts, I have to admit that now that you are the only one left by my side, you can't have anything to do anymore." ”

Originally, Chi Yingchu offended Lu Yuanbai, and this matter must be investigated deeply, and it is the prince who offends, or even more people.

Zhen Guogong was sad when he heard this, and nodded again and again in agreement: "Don't worry, I won't let myself have an accident." ”

"I want you to call yourself sick and leave this matter to someone else to investigate. Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Mrs. Chi simply made her words clear.

Zhen Guogong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at her with complicated eyes: "You know that this is impossible. ”

"All I know is that after my daughter is gone, I can't be without a husband anymore. Mrs. Chi repeatedly emphasized that Zhen Guogong didn't want to quarrel with her, so she had to compromise on her face.

"We won't talk about it, you're not well, I'll help you go back and rest. Zhen Guogong helped her back to the house.

That night, the news came out that Mrs. Chi fell ill again, and Zhenguo Gong was so anxious that he asked for a doctor everywhere to alarm the palace, and the emperor directly sent the imperial doctor over.

In the past few days that the Duke of Zhenguo has been guarding Mrs. Chi, there is no way to investigate the matter of the butler of the prince's mansion, so the emperor has to hand it over to others, and the prince takes the initiative to request an investigation.

"Father, it stands to reason that the sons should not interfere in order to avoid suspicion, but the sons are more willing to share the worries of their fathers, and no one knows this matter better than the sons. ”

"Well, if you can find out, the merits will be offset. The emperor felt that what the prince said made some sense, and the courtiers had no objections, so he nodded in agreement.

When Lu Yuanbai learned about this, he couldn't help but feel funny, with the ability of the prince, how could he investigate?

"Rather than let him investigate, this king would rather leave this matter to Zhong Jingsong......"

Although the prince didn't know how to investigate the case, he did a good job on the surface, and arrested several people in just a few days, but he didn't want anyone to be beaten into a trick, so he complained to the emperor in anger.

The emperor's face was extremely unsightly, this matter was asked by the prince himself, and the emperor personally responded to it, which was a slap in the face of the emperor.

"The minister thinks that Master Zhong's ability to handle cases is first-class, and he also has some reputation among the people, if it is a chance to offset the merits, he should be the best candidate. ”

"Your Majesty, in the hands of Lord Zhong before, there would be no such thing......" Several courtiers stood up to speak for Zhong Jingsong.

The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, and had to nod and agree: "Then let him investigate, if the truth can be found, I will still keep his official position." ”
