When the news came, Chen Liuhou was having lunch in his mansion.

This was the first meal when he moved to the Hou Mansion, and Chi Tang was inexplicably excited.

Look at Daddy for a while, and look at Uncle Shi for a while.

Why bother, Zhanyu, Xia Hui, and Mei Niang are all here, and the feeling of a neat family.

Just when Chi Changting couldn't help but let her concentrate on eating, a guard ran in with a solemn look and hurried steps, and ran directly to Chi Changting's side and whispered in his ear.

Chi Changting's face changed instantly, and he immediately put down his chopsticks and got up, and instructed: "I have something to go out, you guys clean up at home, don't run out!" ”

As soon as Chi Tang said "oh", he strode away.

With this interruption, except for He Bi and Mei Niang, no one had the heart to continue eating.

Chi Tang turned his head and asked Zhu Xian, who was frowning thoughtfully, "What did they say?" ”

With that level of whispering, how could it escape the ears of a master like Uncle Zhu?

Zhu Xian really heard it: "King Zhao's eldest son drowned in Xihai Pool!" ”

Chi Tang was stunned for a while, and asked in disbelief: "The eldest son of King Zhao?" ”

Seeing Zhu Xian nodding, tears fell at once.

Zhu Xian was surprised: "Didn't King Zhao deal with you?" What are you sad about when his son died? Maybe when you grow up, you will still be against the prince! ”

Chi Tang sobbed, "But, but he's only five years old......"

The last time I saw the child, he was holding a clove of orange, standing on tiptoe and sending it to Princess Zhao's mouth.

Princess Zhao, who was still mourning, smiled gently and beautifully, without a trace of gloom in her eyes.

Such a cute and sensible child, why is it suddenly gone?

What about his mother?

Zhu Xian stopped talking.

Five-year-olds...... What else can be said?

"Tsing Yi!" Chi Tang suddenly got up and called, "You go into the palace to investigate, has the eldest son of King Zhao rescued him!" ”

Zhu Xian glanced at her strangely: "It's said that it's drowned, drowning is dead!" ”

"Maybe it's a miscommunication!" Chi Tang insisted, "Maybe I've been revived by the imperial doctor now!" ”

Zhu Xian's eyes turned red when he saw her, and he didn't say anything anymore.

Chi Tang has always been soft-hearted, not to mention that the child is innocent, and anyone who listens to it will be sad.

……

The new home is very close to the palace, and Tsing Yi came back in less than half an hour.

"King Zhao's eldest son is dead." Tsing Yi Road.

Chi Tang just stood up and sat back down.

Before she began to feel sad, Tsing Yi said again: "Your Majesty is in the Queen Mother's Palace, and you will personally judge the prince!" ”

Chi Tang got up suddenly: "What does this have to do with His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

There is always a relationship, otherwise the emperor would not be able to pull the prince in with great fanfare.

This morning, when the crown prince was invited to the queen mother's palace, it happened that Princess Zhao took Li Zhen, the eldest son of King Zhao, into the palace to greet the queen mother.

After the prince left, the queen mother talked to Princess Zhao, and the nurse took Li Zhen to play nearby.

After the Queen Mother finished talking to Princess Zhao, she remembered to see Li Zhen, but found that the nurse and Li Zhen were gone.

searched the harem until two corpses, one large and one small, surfaced on the surface of the West Sea Pool.

After the body was found, some palace people remembered that they had witnessed Li Zhen and the nurse playing not far from Xihai Pond, and it happened that the prince passed by and stopped to say a few words to Li Zhen.

"She must be lying!" Chi Tang was furious, "How can you suspect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of the words of a palace person!" ”

Zhu Xian sneered: "What kind of suspicion is this? It's a trick that was hard to catch, right? ”

Chi Tang turned around the house twice, and suddenly looked up: "Uncle He!" ”

Why bother jumping out of the seat: "Do you want me to save the prince?" Don't worry—"

"It's not!" Chi Tang interrupted him and said, "You go find Aunt He and say I want to see Wei Ningzhi!" ”

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, he will not be trapped.

This case should not be closed today.

If it can't be over, just keep checking.

It is impossible for the emperor to hand over to the officials of the Eastern Palace Department for investigation, and if it is handed over to the Gao faction, then any evidence of the crime can be obtained.

The most suitable person to take the initiative to investigate this case and not be rejected is Princess Zhao's maternal family, the Wei family.

Among Webster, the one who is in the limelight is Wei Ningzhi.

Daddy asked her not to go out, so it's always okay to probe Wei Ningzhi's tone, right?

Why bother leaving, Chi Tang wanted to go back to his house and wait for news, but unconsciously, his footsteps went to the door.

Chen Liuhou Mansion is near the west gate of Yongchang Fang, out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, you can see the west wall of Yongchang Fang to the west, outside the west wall is a long street, and the long street is the East Palace to the west.

Chi Tang stood at the door and looked west, and could see the tops of several high pavilions in the East Palace.

I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the East Palace......

Just thinking about it in a distraction, he suddenly heard that the horse's hooves were in a little hurry, and he followed the prestige, and saw the guards at the west gate of the fang bowing down, and then, the purple shirt and jade belt galloped in.

"Your Highness!" Chi Tang cheered and ran towards him.

Li Yan hurriedly pulled down the horse, strode up to meet her, took her in his arms, smelled the incense on her hair, and asked gently, "Why are you outside?" ”

Chi Tang raised his face and looked at him a few times, and saw that he was unharmed before he regained his face.

"I heard a little bit about the affairs in the palace, and I was in a hurry to wait at home, and my father asked me not to go out-" She said while pulling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back, "Daddy treats me like a child, what's wrong with me going out?" I'm out the door! She stepped on the front steps of the door and jumped, mischievous like a child, "I'll be fine when I go out!" ”

Li Yan smiled, nodded and said, "It's okay to go out, opposite the west gate of the fang is the east gate of the East Palace, not a few steps away." ”

Chi Tang chuckled: "Your Highness is still riding a horse so close-" for a moment, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

Li Yan took her hand and walked inside: "Lone promised Ah Tang, even if there is a delay, he still has to come." ”

Chi Tang squeezed his hand and asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

What came out of the mouth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was roughly the same as what Tsing Yi heard.

"Gu did talk to Li Zhen near Xihai Pond, and on his birthday last month, Gu sent him a set of painting tools, and he came to thank Gu for his kindness...... Concubine Wei didn't teach him hatred, he was still a child......" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a faint expression.

Chi Tang looked at his hands in a daze.

After he took her hand and sat down, he didn't let go, holding her hand between his hands and kneading it slowly.

At first, it was gentle, but when it came to the last sentence, it suddenly increased its strength.

"Did it hurt you?" Li Yan noticed her gaze and hurriedly let go.

Look at the little hand like clotted nephrite, it has been pinched red by him.

"Ah Tang—"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt!" Seeing that his eyes were full of self-blame, Chi Tang took the initiative to climb into his arms and said with a smile, "I'm just easy to leave a mark, I used to joke with my father that I am so easy to leave a mark, I am very suitable for sueing!" ”

Raising his hand, he stroked his calm eyes in the clouds and mist, and said softly: "Your Highness, don't be sad, we will definitely catch the murderer!" ”
