Seeing that Concubine Yin De was actually in front of her, Li Yuan was furious and yelled at her: "Answer me." ”

Concubine Yin De's body trembled, and she blurted out: "The concubine did not participate, the concubine did not take Princess Jinyang from the assassins, the concubine was from the ......"

At this point, she paused.

No, you can't give up the crown princess, otherwise you will betray the crown prince.

It seems that yesterday, His Majesty ordered to search the palace not only to find Wang Yu, but also to find the assassin who assassinated King Qin.

Later, the palace lifted the ban, and until now, the harem has not heard the news of the assassination of King Qin, that is, His Majesty has blocked the news.

Why did Your Majesty block this news?

Unless...... King Qin's life was in danger, and he was afraid of causing turmoil in the court.

Since King Qin will not live long, the prince's position is as stable as a rock, and if she betrays the prince, the prince will never save her.

Thinking about this, Concubine Yin De immediately changed her words: "The concubine took Princess Jinyang from a palace maid, but the concubine didn't look carefully at that time and didn't remember the appearance of the palace maid.

"The concubine didn't know about the assassination of King Qin at all, how could she be involved, Your Majesty misunderstood the concubine......"

"Shut up!" Li Yuan drank violently.

Concubine Yin De's desire to speak and the look of thinking just now did not escape Li Yuan's eyes, in Li Yuan's opinion, Concubine Yin Defei was a thief with a weak heart, and she was thinking about what kind of lies she could use to escape responsibility.

Therefore, Li Yuan was very angry and immediately ordered: "Send Concubine De back, from now on, Concubine De and King Yu are not allowed to leave Shujing Palace for a single step, if you violate the order, you will be severely punished." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Yin Defei was deeply shocked and sat on the ground in a dejected manner.

When she saw the palace maid walking towards her, she grabbed Li Yuan's dragon robe again, and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine is really just angry for a while, and she doesn't want to hurt Princess Jinyang, concubine...... Ah......h

Before she finished speaking, she was kicked out by Li Yuan.

Immediately, two palace maids grabbed her, covered her mouth, and dragged her out of the palace.

Li Yuan angrily walked to the back of the imperial case and sat down, and then issued a series of orders: "Pass the will of Gu, close all the palace gates of the East Palace, and no one in the East Palace will be allowed to enter or leave, including the crown prince."

"Xuanzhang entered the palace, and ordered the Praetorian Guards to secretly search for the famous doctor and bring him into the palace as soon as possible.

"Let Xun Guogong bring the assassin he caught yesterday over, and he will interrogate him personally......"

After giving the order, Li Yuan picked up the sachet on the imperial case and sniffed it vigorously.

This is the sachet with special spices that the eldest grandson gave to Wang Yu, and the fragrance is the same as the sachet that Li Shimin destroyed.

When he smelled the sachet, Li Yuan saw the jade pendant placed on the side, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift into the distance.

This was the first New Year's gift he gave to Wang Yu that year, and that year, Wang Yu also gave him a New Year's gift, that is, the construction diagram of the bed crossbow.

Every year since, Wang Yu's New Year's gift to him has surprised him, and his daughter has never disappointed him.

However, his daughter almost died at the hands of his concubine......

Thinking of this, the anger in Li Yuan's heart burned even more vigorously.

However, he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then put the jade pendant into his pouch and instructed Yue Yu: "Send this thing to Princess Jinyang." ”

Yue Yu took it and went to the side hall.

"Princess, this is what Your Majesty asked me to send, and the thing will be returned to the original owner."

Wang Yu took the sachet and opened it to see that the jade pendant was still there, but the sachet was not there.

He looked up and asked, "I still have a sachet in it, was it taken by the Assassins?" ”

Hearing this, Yue Yu couldn't help but tremble: "Princess, your sachet is now with Your Majesty, these things were originally taken away by the assassins, but later Li Dalang retrieved them."

"Your Majesty...... It's to borrow your sachet and it will be returned to you later. ”

Wang Yu let out an "oh" and let Yue Yu go.

Not long after Yue Yu went back, Qian Jiulong took Shan Xiongxin and the others into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the minister has brought the assassin."

Shan Xiongxin immediately knelt down, and first saluted Li Yuan: "The minister greets Your Majesty." ”

Then he said to Qian Jiulong: "What Xun Guogong said just now is not right, we are not assassins, we are His Majesty's courtiers. ”

"Isn't it, we'll find out later." After Qian Jiulong finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuan.

Seeing Li Yuan nodding at him, Qian Jiulong instructed the chamberlain to invite Cheng Shanggong and others to come in.

"Smell them carefully, and report them to Your Majesty after smelling them."

"Yes."

So, everyone stepped forward and sniffed around Shan Xiongxin and others.

Among these people, there are people from all rooms of the Shang Palace Bureau, as well as chamberlains, palace maids, and even Praetorian Guards, all of whom have one thing in common, that is, their noses are more sensitive than ordinary people.

Looking at the waiter who was almost close to his body, Shan Xiongxin resisted the urge to hit someone, leaned back, and tried to avoid "close contact" with the waiter.

Xue Wanche, who was standing next to Shan Xiongxin, straightened his body like a pillar, allowing these people to smell his body like dogs.

Li Yuan held the sachet under his nose and kept inhaling the fragrance in it, and his eyes kept shuttling between Shan Xiongxin and the others.

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Shanggong and the others stepped forward together and reported the results to Li Yuan in turn.

"Your Majesty, there is a stench on them."

"Your Majesty, they have a smell of men's sweat on them."

"Your Majesty, they don't smell anything on them......"

They said everything, but they didn't say that they had a strange scent.

Li Yuan glanced around at these people, then got up and walked out from behind the imperial case, his left hand holding the sachet tightly.

After a long time, Li Yuan didn't speak, and then saw Li Yuan walking down again, and everyone was puzzled, but they didn't dare to look at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan went straight around them and came to Shan Xiongxin's face.

Shan Xiongxin immediately became nervous: "Your Majesty...... Next ......"

"Shut up."

Under Li Yuan's reprimand, Shan Xiongxin immediately closed his mouth, but his heart began to become flustered.

Li Yuan glanced at him, then leaned over slightly, took a deep breath, then exhaled, took another breath, repeated this several times, and then walked towards Xue Wanche after confirmation.

Xue Wanche was also panicked, but he couldn't see it from his face.

Li Yuan also stood in front of him for a while, but after only hearing Shan Xiongxin and Xue Wanche, Li Yuan angrily reprimanded Cheng Shanggong and the others: "Lone, let you smell it carefully, you actually dare to lie and deceive Lone?" ”

Cheng Shanggong and the others were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is angry, we have indeed sniffed it carefully." ”

"If you smell them carefully, why can't you smell the fragrance on them? It's a shame that you still boast that you have a sensitive nose, and you are bold enough to dare to lie in front of Lone. ”

In the face of Li Yuan's anger, Cheng Shanggong and the others trembled with fright: "Your Majesty is angry, we really haven't smelled it." ”

How can it be?

Li Yuan opened his palms and said to them, "You guys smell this, and then go and smell them carefully if they have the same fragrance." ”

Cheng Shanggong and the others immediately stood up, first sniffed the sachet each, and then went to smell Shan Xiongxin and the others.

In the end, they gave the answer: "Your Majesty, General Shan, they don't have this fragrance on them." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan's face instantly turned iron-blue, he could smell it, but these people who boasted of having a sensitive nose didn't smell it, could it be that the power of the crown prince was so strong that it had infiltrated all parts of the palace?

No wonder he dared to commit an assassination in the palace.

"Stand down."

Li Yuan quietly sent Cheng Shanggong and the others, and then personally interrogated Shan Xiongxin and them: "Say, why did you assassinate King Qin?" By whom?

"If you confess truthfully, Lone will spare your lives.

"If you lie, you will be destroyed by the Nine Tribes, and you will die without a place to bury."

Under Li Yuan's powerful dragon might, everyone couldn't help but tremble.

However, after Shan Xiongxin trembled, he said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, the minister was wronged, the minister did not assassinate the King of Qin, and the minister stayed in the East Palace yesterday and never went out. ”

Xue Wanche followed up and said the same thing.

Then, one, two, three...... All the Changlin soldiers said the same thing as Shan Xiongxin.

After Li Yuan listened, the corners of his mouth crossed a touch of self-deprecation, heh, he is worthy of being a person from the East Palace, and he is really loyal to the prince.

It seems that they are more loyal to the young and strong prince......
