Chapter 0040 - Knocking on the side to test people's hearts

Aunt Liu was poked in the sore spot, and her face was embarrassed, "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the concubine has always abided by filial piety, and she dare not disobey." ”

"Since it's a helpless move, it's good to keep to yourself, don't be confused for a while, because of a small loss." Shang Jin said word by word, his eyes were sharp, and his tone was pressing.

Aunt Liu instantly understood what she meant, her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly knelt down and explained, "County Lord, the matter of the eldest young master has nothing to do with the concubine, the concubine is a thief who has entered the courtyard that the eldest young master saw, so she immediately notified everyone, and hoped that the county lord would be clear." ”

"What's the hurry? The lord of this county asked casually, and Qingyang called Hui Ran a mother, and she was the second son of Taifu Mansion. Aunt Liu, as a biological mother, a mother is expensive to rely on her son, but if her mother is not virtuous, I am afraid that she will teach the child badly. ”

Although Aunt Liu slandered the county lord in her heart that she was too lenient, she still didn't dare to contradict it on her face.

"County Lord, the concubine dares to swear to the sky that she will never send someone to kill the eldest young master!"

"County Lord, my subordinates have something to report." The voice of the guards was heard outside.

"Come in."

The guard walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Qiyu, my subordinates led people to find several charred corpses in the fire in the forest, which were so badly blown up due to burns that they could not be identified. ”

"Scorched corpses? But what else to discover? ”

"There was obviously a fight at the scene, and in addition to that, blood stains were also found near the strange rock forest."

Shang Jinyan's eyes turned to Aunt Liu, could it be true that it has nothing to do with her? But why would anyone attempt to kill Su Zhen?

"Qin Fei, hand over the body to the government and order them to investigate this matter thoroughly."

She waved her hand and said in a lazy tone, "Okay, let's go down and rest." ”

"Yes, County Lord."

......

The night is getting darker, and in the huge palace, there are guards at ten paces and one post. Janissaries, clad in hard armor and armed with spears or sabers, patrolled back and forth, and a dull and oppressive atmosphere hung over everyone.

The brightly lit East Palace was unusually quiet, overwhelming everyone.

The emperor and queen and many concubines sat anxiously in the main hall, and the eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to raise their heads.

"Say! What the hell is going on! The crown prince was actually taken out of the palace by thieves, and was even seriously injured! Shang Yujiao slapped the table fiercely, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to say more.

Seeing this, Gonggong Xu, who was headed by the East Palace, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sneaked out of the palace by himself. ”

"What do you say? Sneaking out of the palace?! ”

"Back to the emperor... Yes! After His Royal Highness finished dinner, he changed into the clothes of a little eunuch and left the palace. ”

"The prince has always been polite, why would he behave like this? It must have been instigated by you minions! "The imperial concubine Yu Xinyue relied on Shang Yujiao's favor, and never put the queen in her eyes, but at this moment, when she heard that the prince sneaked out of the palace, she wanted to fall into the well.

She deliberately changed into a long skirt with purple smoke and a slender waist to take a slight step, showing a bright wrist in a light yarn. The black silk bun hangs low, and several gilt agate hairpins are inserted obliquely, and the flower-shaped gemstones at the top are lifelike, and the pearls and jade embellishments are like stars in the sky. The forehead is lightly touched with plum blossoms, the face is more delicate than flowers, and the complexion is as fair as new snow. The eyes are charming and bewitching, and a smile is seductive.

"! The minions are wronged! Never! Even if a slave has a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to instigate the prince! ”

"Okay, let's be quiet, don't disturb the imperial doctors to treat the prince."

Since Empress Ning Qiuran was canonized, she has held a golden seal in charge of the harem and is known for being dignified and virtuous. Wearing a red dress, with silver silk threads outlining dark lines, the pattern of Fengxiang Nine Heavens is lifelike. The slender waist is tied with a jade belt, and he is dressed in light smoke tulle, and there are only a few tassels on the top of his head.

She heard that the prince had an accident in the middle of the night, but she couldn't lose her demeanor, so she hurried over with a little grooming. At this moment, she put all her thoughts on the prince, even if Yu Guifei gloated, she didn't pay attention to it at all.
