Once the suspicion was founded, it turned into a knife that cut the cloth that wrapped the things in my heart that had been what I once believed in.

If his belief in the love and mutual trust of his parents has become a lie, then the truth of many things is also questionable, isn't it?

Lu Zhan's hands trembled, and the soup shook twice before it was sent to his mouth.

"Chuan Su Mu came in."

……

After the night wind was quiet, there was a slight sound of peeling and pecking. Princess Jin opened her eyes in the dark night, and the King of Jin beside her was breathing evenly, she looked at it, got up and got off the ground.

Yingniang waited for her outside the door and said, "Wei Chun has been here." ”

"What did you say?"

"Said that the prince suddenly asked about the prince and the princess, as well as the king of Taiping."

Princess Jin paused and wrapped her clothes: "Is there anything else?" ”

Yingniang shook her head.

Princess Jin said, "Go down." ”

Ying Niang went down, and Princess Jin stood in place before turning back.

King Jin in the house had already sat up with his hands propped up, and asked her in the moonlight, "What's wrong?" ”

Princess Jin poured a cup of tea and walked over: "Yingniang is here, saying that Zhan'er is looking for Wei Chun again, Wei Chun has just come." ”

"Isn't Wei Chun quite concerned?" King Jin took the tea, "Zhan'er's tricky temperament is not like you and me." ”

"yes, that's what I'm used to." Princess Jin hung her head and stroked her knees.

King Jin drank the tea, raised his lips and said, "Wei Chun is also a little wordy. If Zhan'er really doesn't like him, I'll replace him with Ming'er. ”

"Why?" The princess took the teacup and put it back on the table, and re-laid the quilt: "Although it is long-winded, it is still thoughtful." A person like him, you replaced him halfway, who will he live on for the rest of his life? No matter how much Zhan'er messes around, he won't be unable to tolerate him. - Sleep, I'm tired. ”

She lay down and turned sideways inside.

King Jin looked at her, also lay down on his side, and looked at her who closed his eyes behind his back: "You're still angry with me, aren't you?" ”

"Nope."

King Jin was silent, looked at her cheeks, and the corners of his lips were a little astringent: "Yes." Why are you mad at me? But if you can be angry with me, it's fine. ”

The moonlight spread on the wall like mercury, and Princess Jin opened her eyes to look at it, not moving.

The people behind him also lay down, and the room was quiet again.

……

All speculations cannot be determined before there is evidence, but Princess Jin reminded Song Xiang and asked Song Xiang to help Lu Zhan investigate the case of falling from the horse, but it already showed the meaning of pointing.

After Su Mu arrived, Lu Zhan sent him to inquire about the guards who left the palace to walk their horses that night through the groom, and then stayed awake all night, washed up and went straight to the yamen.

Busy official business also has the advantage of being busy, and you don't have to let your thoughts fly away when you are buried in piles of case files all day long.

Su Mu came back when he was sitting in the public court without saying a word to watch the trial, and when he came, his back was almost completely wet with sweat, and his breath had not yet calmed down.

Lu Zhan directly cleaned up and led him back to the palace, and asked him, "How is it?" ”

"Through the guards locked by the groom, in the morning the subordinate had asked the groom to find one of them to ask them about their movements that night, they did leave the palace, but the place they went was not in the direction of the south city, but only to the nearby town to drink. In order to prevent mistakes, the subordinates went to the town to inquire again, and they were confirmed in several taverns that closed late. ”

Lu Zhan leaned back in his chair: "You mean, the incident of the horse fall has nothing to do with them?" ”

"It's hard to say whether it has anything to do with it, but my subordinates have thought about it, even if they want to go to Xingping to plot horses, they don't need those many people, there are four of them."

Lu Zhan stood up. After standing still in front of the window for a moment, he turned around and said, "Even if the town asks about the whereabouts, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no cat." Besides, it is their duty to follow the prince to run errands outside and be on call at any time, and it is not right to walk horses and drink in the middle of the night.

"You go and ask the servant who accompanied the prince to the imperial tomb that day, and see if there was anything unusual on the prince's side that night?"

"Yes!"

Lu Zhan listened to the footsteps and walked away, and his clenched hands rested on the windowsill.

The news brought back by Su Mu can't help but be frustrating, if it was really the King of Jin, then the four guards arrived in the town in the name of drinking and walking horses, and it was not impossible for two people to sneak away during the banquet. Therefore, this cannot be the king of Jin, and there is no basis for suspicion.

On the one hand, he was afraid that the result of the investigation would be what he did not want to see, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to let go of any possibility. He didn't want to be suspicious of his father, but once he had this opening in his heart, he couldn't stop.

Now all that can be proved is to let the truth come out, he can no longer believe that his father will attack him, he has already died again, he must have a truth to justify his fatherly love - even if it is to prove that everything is just that he thinks too much, everything is just his unfilial piety, he would rather bear the consequences after asking the answer.

When Chonghua entered the door, he saw the back of Mo standing in front of the window.

"Shizi."

The voice interrupted Lu Zhan's thoughts, he turned sideways, and walked over with a fixed concentration: "What's the catch?" ”

Chonghua sighed heavily: "Did the prince go to the Carrier Hall last night?" ”

"You see?"

"The subordinates have been lying in ambush beside the prince and have not seen the prince, but this morning the prince came out of the Qiwu Palace and returned to the carrying hall, and the subordinates saw that person coming to see the prince again. He told the prince that someone had been to the Carrier Hall last night after the prince left! ”

Lu Zhan's pupils shrank: "How did he know?" ”

"It's not that he has great powers, it's that when he entered the Carrier Hall this morning, he found that someone had touched the things in the house. It is not clear which place it is. But it is certain that he is not guessing, but well-founded, because he has clearly said that he has been to the Hall of Carriers! The subordinates couldn't guess who else had been there besides the prince, so they asked. ”

"The prince is not in the palace, he can actually enter directly?" Lu Zhan approached him, "You didn't track him?" ”

"Originally, I was going to track it down, but because my subordinates got something more important, they decided to come back to see the prince first." As he spoke, Chonghua took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Shizi, please take a look." ”

Lu Zhan took it, and his gaze fell on the city gate seal above: "Go to the pass of Luoyang City?" Where did it come from! ”

Chonghua looked at him: "Did the prince send Su Mu to find a few guards around the prince?" ”

Lu Zhan frowned: "How?" ”

"After those guards returned to the room after seeing the prince in the Carrier Palace, they mentioned the 'Luo family' and told each other to be careful with their words and deeds, and the subordinates found this according to their words, this is the pass they used when they went to Luoyang half a month ago! This shows that they went to Luoyang half a month ago! ”
