Rong Jin returned to Qingzhu Garden, and walnuts and almonds were anxiously pacing back and forth outside the door. Seeing Rongjin coming, he immediately stepped forward together, with tears in his eyes: "Miss, you are back!" ”

"Ahem, I'm fine." A smile appeared on Rong Jin's pale face, and he ordered, "I want to bathe and change clothes." ”

After a while, Rongjin sat in the bathtub, which was covered with rose petals and overflowing with fragrance. She leaned on the wall of the barrel with her chin in her hands, her delicate and fair skin slightly flushed with the rising steam. She frowned slightly, thinking carefully about seeing Shen Yanzhi today. He was still wearing the brocade robe he had attended yesterday's banquet, with a slight wrinkle on it, his hair was messy, and the red bloodshot in his eyes was obvious, obviously he had not slept all night, and his anxious expression did not seem to be fake, he really did not seem to know.

Does last night's incident have anything to do with him? She vaguely remembered that when she was drunk last night, Shen Yanzhi appeared in front of her just right, and then, he called the palace maid and ordered her to be taken to the side hall next to her to rest, but in the end, the palace maid took her all the way to the prince's bedroom, obviously on purpose. Could it all be a coincidence?

Looking at Shen Yanzhi now, she couldn't help but have a look of doubt in her eyes. There is a reason for everything, she is still bearing the name of his Shen Yanzhi's wife, how can anyone desperately put a green hat on his head? Finally, he shook his head again, denying his idea.

Or is it that the palace maid was originally arranged by the prince, and she has been waiting on the sidelines, seeing the right time to take her away, and Shen Yanzhi just happened to appear? But when did the prince think about her? No matter how lustful you are, you won't be able to attack the wife of a court official, right? Rong Jin felt that her head was "buzzing", reminding her that her brain capacity was insufficient.

At noon, in the study of the Five Princes' Mansion. After coming out of the Shen Mansion, Song Jin went directly back to his mansion. At this time, Song Jin's henchman Pepper was talking back to him about last night.

Song Jin: "Can you find out what happened to you?" ”

"The fifth prince has found out, but the person is already dead. The one who brought Mrs. Shen to the prince's side hall last night was a palace maid named Ye Mo..."

"Where did Mrs. Shen come from?" Song Jin swept over with an angry look, and said gloomily: "I'll give you another chance to reorganize the language, and I'll talk about it after I think it clearly!" ”

Pepper felt her legs go a little soft.

"Yes, yes, it's Mrs. Shen, no, no, no. It's Miss Li! It's Miss Li's house! "Pepper was dripping with cold sweat.

Song Jin: "Go on." ”

Pepper raised her hand to wipe the sweat stains on her forehead, and continued: "Last night, I sneaked into the side hall to look for clues. I found a bloodstain in a bush near the side hall, and I followed the bloodstain, and finally found a corpse in a dry well, not long after she died, and her body was still warm, and it was confirmed that she was the palace maid who took Miss Li Fu away at the banquet. There was a bloody hole in her chest, and the other party was quick and accurate, killing with a single knife, and no murder weapon was found nearby. After investigation, the dead palace maid, named Ye Mo, was the palace maid who served the prince's daily life, and had been with the prince for many years. Last night, she took advantage of Miss Li's drunkenness to take people to the prince's side hall. ”

"Wait." Song Jin made a gesture, he lowered his head, his fingers tapped on the countertop, carefully recalling every picture of last night, and always felt that something was wrong. Was this the Prince's order? There was always a hint of doubt in his heart. For the crown prince Song Yin, he still understands that although he usually does a lot of things to marry people's daughters, but this object is Rongjin, Shen Yanzhi, a third-grade life official, he may not take it in his eyes, but it is impossible for him not to put Li Xiang in his eyes. Can he have that guts? Are you really bewitched by lust? The palace maid named Ye Mo died like this, is it the mouth of the prince who extinguished? Now there is no proof of death. However, Song Yin is now attacking him one after another, and now he is also using his dirty and dirty methods on Rongjin, how can he bear it!

"You go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person, this letter must be handed over to Li Xiang in person, let him go to the palace of the concubine, and say that there is something important to negotiate." Song Jin laid out the pen and ink, and it was done with a wave. Then he put the written letter into an envelope, with four big characters on it, "Li Xiangqi", and was about to hand it to Pepper.

At this time, hearing the knock on the door, Song Jin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The fifth prince, the princess came to bring you ginseng soup." It is the voice of the housekeeper in the courtyard.

"Send her back, and say I'm busy." Song Jin's expression was cold, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone. As soon as his words fell, a clear and graceful female voice sounded: "Brother Jin, I am Chu Xi." I came in. With that, he pushed the door straight in, but fortunately, Pepper had quickly hidden the letter in his waist, and seeing this, Pepper saluted the five princes and said goodbye.

Song Jin wanted to scold Murong Chuxi and trespass into his study without permission. But seeing that she was now pregnant, he had to give up, and in the future, his great cause would still depend on her father Murong Lingyun, and the military power in Murong Lingyun's hands was an important help for him that could not be underestimated.

Song Jin's expression was cold: "You don't have a good rest in your own courtyard, what are you doing here?" ”

Murong Chuxi was accustomed to Song Jin's cold attitude, and there was still a smile on his face: "Xi'er came to deliver ginseng soup." ”

Song Jin looked at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to smile: "What you sent?" I can't drink it. "Because not long ago, Murong Chuxi also sent such a bowl of ginseng soup, and something was added to the soup that made people confused, otherwise, how could the two of them have children today?

Hearing Song Jin say this, Murong Chuxi was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, if she didn't do this, when would they have a round house? How could there be a child today, and instantly said confidently: "Isn't it good now?" You see that yesterday my father was so happy and gave him a lot of rewards! She walked over, grabbed Song Jin's arm, and said coquettishly: "Brother Jin, now that we have a child, don't worry about me, okay?" I won't dare again. ”

If his child can be born safely, it will be the first child of the royal grandchildren, so Emperor Wei will be particularly happy. The crown prince Song Yin is the eldest son of Emperor Wei, and now he is born in the queen, and he has nine out of twenty this year, and the concubine has nothing to do, even his group of concubines have not come out. And over the years, Song Jin has made great achievements in the court, and sometimes the limelight has even overtaken Song Yin, and Emperor Wei has praised him more and more, no wonder the prince's party has been impatient and frequently attacked him. Song Jin thought about this, and his expression softened slightly.

Seeing that Song Jin's expression was somewhat relaxed, Chu Xi continued: "Brother Jin, where did you go after the banquet last night? Xi'er can't find you anywhere. The maid said you won't be back until noon today..."

Song Jin's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked at Murong Chuxi carefully, not letting go of her every expression. Could it be that she deliberately lured the prince forward? She knew that the person in her heart was Rongjin, and she had long hated Rongjin, did she want to use this incident to ruin Rongjin's innocence and reputation. His voice was like three feet of ice: "Is that you?" ”

Murong Chuxi was confused, and was stunned by Song Jin's eyes, "What are you talking about?" ”

Song Jin said sharply: "Let me ask you, where did you go after the banquet last night?" ”

"After the feast was dispersed last night, I couldn't find you, so I went home. But what happened? Murong Chuxi replied truthfully.

Song Jin was silent, considering how much truth was in her words. After a while, Song Jin said: "It's better to be like this, if you do something behind my back, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
