Chu Junlan said: "I'm here to live, and I didn't kill anyone, I just made those people temporarily incapacitated, if I don't resist, do I want to be killed?" ”

"Sophistry! You disguised yourself as Fu Gongzi, deceived me, and infiltrated the palace with bad intentions. The prince of Huai'an was furious.

"My two mothers-in-law, as well as my sister-in-law, uncle, and the servants of the house have all been arrested by you, if I don't sneak in and take a look, where can I be sure of their safety?"

Chu Junlan said and saluted Emperor Jinghong: "Your Majesty, is it your will that the Huai'an Royal Mansion detain my family's relatives?" If not, I have never heard of the power of the royal family to withhold other relatives under house arrest. ”

"The emperor is clear, and the minister will stay in the palace for a while when he sees Chu Junlan having a bad heart. These days have been good to eat, drink, and entertain. The prince of Huai'an hurriedly explained.

"Good hospitality? How many people are locked up in a room, let the guards and guards, and when the time comes, they stutter and completely deprive themselves of their freedom, which is called hospitality? How about I treat you as well? Chu Junlan was about to be laughed at by the prince of Huai'an.

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, just go and check, my two mothers-in-law, sister-in-law, uncle, and servants are now locked up in the Huai'an Palace, I came to ask them for someone before, and they preferred me to give Xiao Yunchang treatment in exchange, if I don't agree to give the second son a choice, they will be unfavorable to my family."

The prince of Huai'an shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention, the minister just wants to protect Prince Gong's family from being poisoned by the demon girl." What's more, there was a matter of that piece of silver, and the minister did it for the sake of the overall situation, Prince Gong has not been seen so far, and the minister did it to facilitate the investigation. ”

Emperor Jinghong supported himself with one hand, his posture was lazy and leisurely, and he waved his hand indifferently and said: "Since it is a matter of two families, let both families be present." ”

The prince of Huai'an immediately saluted, and turned around and ordered: "Please Prince Gong and her family to come." ”

"Yes." Even if someone listened to the command, he did it.

In just a moment, Princess Zhang, Princess Cai, and the rest of the princes, young ladies and servants of the palace all arrived together.

Although their faces were a little paler, they were still dressed decently, and they didn't look like they were imprisoned.

Seeing Emperor Jinghong sitting in the first place, everyone saluted together, and the mountain shouted long live.

Emperor Jinghong said: "Are you still used to living in the Huai'an Palace? ”

Princess Cai lowered her head and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the Huai'an Palace's hospitality is difficult, and the residence is fine." ”

The prince of Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Zhang said: "It's just that we are not free in action, we have proposed several times that we want to go home, but we can't even see the steward of the Huai'an Palace, let alone the master of the Huai'an Palace, since our family arrived at the boundary of Huaijing, we haven't even entered the door." ”

Emperor Jinghong looked at the prince of Huai'an with a smile: "Oh? I didn't know that Huaijing had such a peculiar way of hospitality. ”

The prince of Huai'an had already prepared, and said solemnly: "Back to the emperor, the ministers have to do this for the theft of 1.8 million taels of silver, if they don't cut off their contact with the outside world, I'm afraid that the lost silver will be even more traceable." ”

Princess Zhang sneered: "What does the prince of Huai'an mean, we are all thieves?" ”

"Tell the emperor, Prince Gong's family has been brought."

At this time, the guards who went to the prison to bring back and forth.

Emperor Jinghong raised his hand: "Xuan." ”

Li Defang immediately said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, declare it." ”

He immediately responded, but in a moment, Zi Yan, Zi Yuan, Ming'er, Huo Yeqing, and Mao Quan, the housekeeper of the palace, and other subordinates who were arrested during the raid that day were taken outside the warm pavilion. Because of the limited space in the warm pavilion, most of the people were left outside the door, and only a few important people were brought in.

Huo Yeqing, Zi Yuan, Zi Yan, and Mao Quan knelt on the ground and saluted.

Seeing Xiao Xu standing aside with Chu Junlan on his feet, Huo Yeqing let out a sigh of relief, and Zi Yuan and Zi Yan's tears of joy swirled in their eyes.

Emperor Jinghong said: "Let's talk about how your princess resisted arrest that day." ”

"Resisting arrest?" Huo Yeqing, Zi Yuan, and Zi Yan were all at a loss.

Mao Quan was even more dazed, and said dumbly: "There is no one to come to the door." Even the last to raid the house were the guards of the Huai'an Palace. ”

No one told them in advance, and their current performance will prove it.

A cold sweat broke out on Zhao Qian's forehead.

Emperor Jinghong didn't even give Zhao Qian a look.

If the emperor asked on the spot, Zhao Qian felt better, but Emperor Jinghong's current attitude really made him panic.

Fu Zhiheng, who had been silent, listened for a long time, and found that if he continued to entangle, at most it would only prove that Chu Junlan did not resist arrest, so he stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Back to the emperor, according to the opinion of the small people, the matter of that day really needs to be carefully investigated, there are three doubts, one is why the people of Jinyiwei went to arrest the Chu family, will they not show their identities and do not show the arrest documents.

"Second, it seems to be an indisputable fact that Prince Gong's family members were placed under house arrest by Huai'an Palace, and no matter what the original reason was, it is also an indisputable fact that King Huai'an used Prince Gong's family to blackmail the Chu family to treat their second son.

"Three, the prince of Huai'an said that the Chu family pretended to be me to sneak into the palace, there should be another hidden secret, although I and the prince of Huai'an have never really spoken, they can have a relationship in the capital before, and they know each other, Chu's makeup was my appearance that day, and a huge difference can be seen from the height or appearance, and the prince of Huai'an can be mistaken for it, which is really suspicious.

"According to Xiaomin's humble opinion, it is useless to discuss these trivial matters at this time, it is better to discuss how Prince Gong and the princess want to kill people while everyone is here."

Fu Zhiheng is not a person in the court, but he is deeply valued by Emperor Jinghong, and every time he participates in something, he can finally solve it vigorously.

When Wang Shizi of Huai'an heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and he was silent for a moment before saying: "Okay, since this is the case, it is not too late to make a decision after the details of the arrest refusal are clarified, but the last time Chu Junlan came to assassinate me, it was an indisputable fact, and this was what Commander Zhao also saw with his own eyes." ”

Zhao Qian arched his hand and said: "What the Chu clan killed that day was the stand-in of the prince. ”

Everyone looked at Chu Junlan.

Chu Junlan had already recovered at this time, and his face was not as pale as just now: "Indeed, because my mother-in-law's family is under house arrest, I am worried about their situation, so I want to meet the prince of Huai'an and have a good talk with him, but I came to the door several times, and it was the prince of the palace who came to deal with me, the prince Shi and the princess of the prince of Huai'an, Yin. I was so anxious that I had to make a decision and climb over the wall that night. ”
