Outside Jingzhao Yin's mansion, snow fell. The snow between the branches is like a mist that silently spreads from petals to stamens, and a few wisps of life are obliterated under the snow.

The only thing that touched the snow was an umbrella.

The umbrella bone is actually made of jade, exquisitely clear, reflecting the knuckled hand of the owner of the umbrella. A few pieces of snow fell on the umbrella surface, and then melted into water droplets, washing the umbrella pattern. On the surface of the umbrella is a red-beaked cuckoo, with heavy wings outlined, as if it wants to cry on the umbrella.

"The minister greets His Royal Highness King Qi." In Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, everyone bent their knees.

The man under the umbrella smiled slightly, and said softly, "No need to be polite." ”

He wore a jade white robe, the sleeves were outlined with auspicious cloud textures, and the dragon pattern of the four claws on his shoulders and the python pattern were intertwined to complement each other. A white jade pendant is tied around the waist, which reflects the embroidered beads on the belt. His black hair was tied to a jade crown, and the rest was idle and drooping.

"This king heard that there were two Nanyue jade hooks in the case of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, Lord Feng, can there be such a thing?" He has a clear face, gentle and elegant, like a son of a family who does not know the affairs of the court. But no one present dared to despise him for not being good at strategy.

The third son of the emperor, Qi Wang Gongxun, is a figure who can be under the oppression of the current Suwang Palace, and there is still room for turnaround, and even the court can resist the court. It is very likely to be made a prince.

"Back to Your Highness, this is indeed the case." Feng Lichuan bowed his head, his expression was still indifferent, but there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.

What Jiang Ziyu was waiting for was actually King Qi Gongxun.

Gong Yu seemed to smile slightly, she looked at Gong Xun through the curtain of black yarn, but there was no smile in her eyes, and she was as silent as a pool of snow.

"In the whole world, there is only one Nanyue jade hook, and two of them appear at this time, there must be one true and one false." Gong Xun said in a low voice, he looked at the two jade hooks on the desk, and his smile reflected the crystal clear jade body, which was elusive.

"Your Highness, but there is a way to distinguish the authenticity of the jade hook?" Liu Shengshi said respectfully.

"This king came to Jingzhaoyin Mansion to help solve this case." Gong Xun said, "The reason why this jade hook is called 'Nanyue' is because the jade pattern on the jade body is from the hands of the Nanyue royal family, and it is carved and decorated by craftsmen who belong to the Nanyue royal family for 49 days under the moonlight. The jade pattern of the Nanyue jade hook is no different from those ordinary jade hooks on weekdays. However, if the Nanyue jade hook is cleaned by snow water, the difference in this jade pattern will naturally emerge, and it will be as silver and white as the moon. ”

Zhao Hong knelt in place, a cold chill ran in his bones, and this matter had completely exceeded his expectations. The person behind him is King Su, and this case has reached the ears of His Majesty, and it will definitely become a dispute involving the throne due to the arrival of King Qi. This will undoubtedly arouse His Majesty's suspicion. King Qi wants to come to Jingzhaoyin Mansion despite His Majesty's suspicions, what is the meaning of this?

"As Your Highness says, go get snow water." Feng Lichuan said lightly.

It was only a moment before I saw a small official carrying a basin of snow water.

Feng Lichuan threw the two jade hooks into the basin filled with snow water.

Zhao Hong hung his head, his face was already dead at the moment.

In front of everyone's eyes, I saw that in the clear snow water, two jade hooks sank quietly at the bottom. Suddenly, the relatively damaged jade hook showed a few plain silver lines, like a bright moonlight.

Whether it is true or false has already been decided.

- At this point, Zhao Hong should be an outcast.

Gong Yu lowered her eyes, her eyes were uncertain, like a mist.

At this moment, the prince in a jade white robe looked at her.

There was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Zhao Hong, you actually want to confuse the truth with the fake and expect to hide it from the official." Feng Lichuan raised his hand and picked up the piece of shocking wood carved with the pattern of cloud geese. "The sin of losing the imperial gift, Zhao Hong, can you admit it?"

There was a shocking sound, and the case was broken.

Zhao Hong looked at the two jade hooks, his face was pale, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "Everything is done by the lower officials, and the lower officials admit their guilt." ”

"Lord Jing Zhaoyin, I," at this moment, unexpectedly, Zhao Mengde was heard trembling: "My father is carried by the current King Su, and now this Nanyue jade hook can be tested with snow water, but it is King Qi." I'm afraid—"

When Zhao Hong heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous, above the court, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Mengde's implication is that Qi Wanggong Xun is very likely to show favoritism due to the battle for imperial power with Su Wanggong Che.

It is too naïve to want to use this to win a glimmer of life for Zhao Hong. Liu Qingsheng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Zhao Mengde, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qi will still be unjust? ”

"It doesn't matter." Gong Xun was still smiling, as if he didn't understand Zhao Mengde's voice. I saw him take out the broken jade hook from the snow water, looked at Xu Zhen for a moment, and asked, "Zhao Hong, this is your only son?" ”

Zhao Hong gritted his teeth, he clutched the dark green cuffs tightly, kowtowed, and said: "Your Highness, you are a minister's godson, and all the blame is committed by the minister, I hope Your Highness will punish you." ”

"This king is just asking casually." Gong Xun looked at the lines on the jade hook, but said leisurely: "After all, this only son is not very similar to you." ”

Zhao Mengde was stunned when he heard this, and looked sideways, but saw Zhao Hong's miserable white face.

Gong Xun looked down at Zhao Hong, he put down the jade hook in his hand, and his smile was undiminished. "What your son said is also reasonable, after all, you are the person carried by the fifth brother, and the fifth brother came on behalf of the king, so it may be more appropriate. It's just that this king is here today at the behest of his father. ”

Zhao Hong followed Gong Xun's line of sight.

I saw an old man in a dark red robe standing on the steps outside Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, he held a whisk of dust in his right hand, and the snow-like tail hung down, covering the hook pattern on his right wrist.

It turned out to be the personal eunuch of today's saint, Xia Jinzhong.

Xia Jinzhong said in a loud voice: "Passing on Your Majesty's holy message, I heard that the case of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion involves imperial gifts, and I specially ordered Qi Wang Gongxun and Jingzhao Yin Feng Lichuan to jointly try this case. ”

"Obey."

It was His Majesty who ordered King Qi to come. Feng Lichuan was silent for a moment, he was holding the shocking wood, but what he was holding was cold.

King Qi and King Su fought in the dark, and His Majesty always watched the fire from the other side, and never personally ordered to interfere. Now, His Majesty has ordered Qi Wanggong Xun to try the case with him.

Seven years later, there is only one variable that can make His Majesty change.

It is Princess Yuanxi Gong Yu.

Zhao Hong obviously realized this, he knelt on the ground, but his heart became colder and colder. He was very puzzled before, why Jiang Ziyu came with the woman Li Muzhen, Jiang Ziyu's appearance means that this matter is instructed by Princess Yuanxi, and the imperial heir's participation in this case has aroused His Majesty's suspicion for no reason, and for Princess Yuanxi, it is a hundred harms and no benefits.

Now he has come to his senses, and this is clearly a ploy. The person behind him is Su Wang Gong Che, and behind Jiang Ziyu is Princess Yuanxi. Feng Lichuan, as Jing Zhaoyin, involves the things given by the emperor, and it is difficult to judge after all. And for the sake of the justice of this case, if His Majesty does not come in person, he will inevitably order a prince to come.

Ling Qi Wang Gongxun tried the case, but it was the balance of the three parties.

——This Shengjing's chess game, since Princess Yuanxi returned, has been completely chaotic.
