"Who found the body first?"

Wei Zhao suppressed his anger and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, it was the chamberlain of the East Palace who first discovered it."

Feng Hui didn't dare to hide it, he organized the wording in his heart, and tried to remain objective and said: "Your Majesty, the guard who saved the crown princess is surnamed Pang." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent the attendants in the East Palace to send silver taels to the Pang guards, but when they arrived at the Pang Mansion, they found that the gate of the Pang Mansion was open. The chamberlain entered the main house suspiciously, but unexpectedly, he saw the Pang guard hanging on the beam of the house, and the person was no longer breathing. ”

"Is it the official reported by the people of the East Palace?" Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows.

Feng Hui whispered, "That's not it. It was Pang Guard's neighbor who heard the movement, and several people rushed into Pang Mansion together, and happened to see Pang Guard, who had hanged himself, and ...... There is also an attendant in the East Palace! ”

Wei Zhao sneered: "In other words, there is no second person in the house except for the chamberlain of the East Palace?" ”

Feng Hui lowered his head, and he replied very cautiously: "Pang Guard's wife returned to her parents' house with her children yesterday, and when she heard the news from the neighborhood, she hurriedly rushed back to Pang Mansion. Pang Guard's wife insisted that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had killed and killed him, and this matter had already alarmed the Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Wei Zhao was not surprised by what Feng Hui said.

The guard, surnamed Pang, saved the life of the crown princess.

Wei Jin kicked the guard away in front of the courtiers and the clan, if it wasn't for Fuqing squeezing him a few words in front of everyone, there would never be a reward and a mansion behind.

As the crown prince, Wei Jin should have been humble and corporal Lixian, even if he was narrow-minded by nature, he had to pretend to be generous in front of people. But he can't even do superficial kung fu, so it's no wonder that he will give people a chance to take advantage of it.

The emperor's face was dark and inexplicable, Feng Hui had been with the emperor for twenty years, but in the past few years, he could not guess His Majesty's thoughts.

He stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, this murder case involves the East Palace, and the Jingzhao Mansion does not dare to be arbitrary. In order to maintain the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Zhongshu Province has secretly suppressed the twists. ”

"How can the laws of a country be child's play!" Wei Zhao lowered his eyebrows, looked at the Zhu pen on the table, and said lightly: "If it weren't for the crown prince, how could he catch fire." Since the Pang family handed the pleadings to the Jingzhao Mansion, they let Jingzhao Yin dispose of it impartially. As for the crown prince......"

Wei Zhao snorted lightly: "Let the prince defend himself first." It can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world. ”

"Your Majesty, I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

Xie Yanhe listened to the ins and outs of the case clearly, until she heard that Wei Zhao was going to let the prince defend himself, and couldn't help but interject.

"In front of me, I will allow you to speak freely."

With Wei Zhao's mind, he didn't take this murder case into account at all. What he cares about is the ambiguous attitude of the Chinese Book Province.

Suppressing Jing Zhaoyin's twists and turns seems to be maintaining the reputation of the prince, from another point of view, why not identify the prince of the East Palace as the mastermind behind the scenes, this kind of behavior similar to covering up will only make the prince speechless.

Zhang Fuming and Wang Jin are both old foxes who have become fine. Although Pei Tongguang is upright, when it comes to dealing with the world, he is also round on the outside and square on the inside. I just don't know...... Which of the three of them would have ordered this?

"Your Majesty, Pang Guard's guard was killed, but his wife suspected that the prince was the mastermind behind the scenes, and a piece of paper made trouble in Jingzhao Mansion. However, there is no evidence in this case to prove the East Palace. His Majesty let the prince defend himself, which inevitably wronged His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Xie Yan said in a gentle voice.

"Mianmian, you just heard it, at the time of the crime, only the chamberlain of the East Palace was present in the Pang Mansion, and he was the most suspicious."

Wei Zhao was most dissatisfied with this, if it weren't for the prince's carelessness, how could he step into the trap set by others.

From the princess falling into the water, to the Pang guards saving people, to the Pang guards hanging themselves, they are interlocking, and every response of the prince is in the calculations of the people behind the scenes.

Wei Zhao didn't know whether to say that the prince was too stupid, or that the people behind the scenes had seen through people's hearts.

Xie Yanhe said calmly: "But Fang Cai Feng Hui also said that the Pang guard obviously hanged himself. Although the chamberlain of the East Palace happened to be present, how could it be proved that the Pang guards were forced to death by the East Palace? ”

"Back to the county master, the slave forgot to say that the Pang guard did not hang himself, but died of his homicide, and it was the murderer who faked the scene." Feng Hui hurriedly added.

Wei Zhao raised his hand and motioned for Feng Hui to step back.

The palace in the hall came out, and the entire hall instantly became empty.

Wei Zhao glanced at Xie Yanhe and motioned for her to sit down beside him.

Xie Yanhe pouted and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, I'm not speaking for the prince. It's just that this case involves the East Palace, and if it is confirmed, it will only bring shame to the royal family. ”

"That Mian Mian told me who was hiding behind the scenes, intending to frame the prince." Wei Zhao was not stunned by her soft voice, he already had a judgment in his heart.

Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes widened in astonishment, and then he smiled "poof", and said with a snort: "I'm not an immortal who can pinch and calculate." Your Majesty asks me, and who do I ask? ”

Wei Zhao smacked on his face, but he was not amused by Xie Yanhe's urging, he suddenly changed the topic: "Mianmian, I am going to advance the wedding date, Qixi is a good day, what do you think?" ”

Xie Yanhe had a bunch of drafts in his mind, ready to deal with Wei Zhao's interrogation.

But Wei Zhao's temptation seemed to be mentioned casually, as if advancing the marriage date was his goal.

"Your Majesty, it's only been a month until Qixi Festival, isn't it too hasty. Will the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple be in chaos? ”

Xie Yan and Meimu blinked lightly, didn't say agree, didn't say disagree, but followed Wei Zhao's words.

"I have already asked the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple to prepare, and it just so happens that Ming will come back from the northwest, and tomorrow I can let the Ministry of Rites Shangshu pass over the house to pay the bride price."

Wei Zhao had already had a plan in his heart, and the idea of advancing the wedding date to the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month had been thinking about it for a long time in his heart. If you say hasty, it is indeed hasty. But everything that the Ministry of Rites should have prepared has already been prepared, and there is not much resistance to it if it is really to be implemented.

Wei Zhao was afraid that Xie Yanhe would not agree at first, but Xie Han had returned to the capital, and she should no longer find any excuse to refuse.

Xie Yanhe's heart was depressed.

If you enter the palace, although you have the status of the queen, you can use this to suppress Wei Jin and Chen Rong to death, but it is equivalent to putting yourself under Wei Zhao's nose, and it will be difficult to do something in secret.

Xie Yanhe couldn't guess whether Wei Zhao had linked the death of Guard Pang to himself. But Xie Yanhe is certain that he did not leave any traces about the princess falling into the water.

Even if Wei Zhao had doubts, he could not produce any evidence. Of course, it would be best if his suspicions could be dispelled.

"But Your Majesty, I'm not ready to get married." Xie Yanhe's eyes moved lightly, shaking Wei Zhao's arm and playing tricks.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen my brother for several years, can Your Majesty let me spend more time with my brother to comfort my feelings?"

Wei Zhao's arm was shaken violently by Xie Yanhe, but Wei'an's body was as immobile as a mountain, he grabbed Xie Yanhe's soft body and imprisoned her delicate body in his arms, lest she continue to mess around.

"After you enter the palace, you can summon your mother's family at any time. As for Jiang Ming...... Although you two are brother and sister, you can not sit at the same table at the age of seven......"

Before Wei Zhao finished speaking, Xie Yan and "Teng" jumped up from Wei Zhao's arms, and her forehead accidentally hit the jaw of the man Fang ~ Yi, like an iron mountain, Xie Yanhe's tears "brushed" and fell.

"It hurts!" She covered her forehead, tears rolling down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads.

"Why was it so careless?" Wei Zhao hurriedly pulled the person to her side, removed her slender hand covering her forehead, and looked at it carefully.

I saw that Xie Yanhe's skin was like ice and snow, and there was a shallow red mark, like a white flaw, which was heart-wrenching.

"It's not Your Majesty's fault, even my brother's vinegar is eaten."

Xie Yanhe opened a pair of misty peach blossom eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you said it yourself, did you want to hinder the reunion of our brothers and sisters, so you deliberately advanced the wedding date?!" ”

"Am I so stingy?"

Wei Zhao took out a tube of Hundred Flowers Cream from the drawer under the bookcase, dug out a fingernail, and carefully applied it to the red and swollen area of her forehead. He coaxed gently: "Jiang Ming is also a family person, and he still has to be an errand and go to the court, where can he revolve around his sister all day long?" I was afraid that you would be lost, so I wanted to bring you closer to the palace early. Besides......"

Wei Zhao's ink eyes revealed a hint of pampering, he raised his hand and scratched the tip of Xie Yanhe's nose, and said with a teasing tone: "I can only feel at ease if I keep you by my side." Even if your tears drown my palace, I will be happy. ”

"Is Your Majesty afraid that I will cause trouble outside?" Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she pouted, looking very angry.

"Before I married you, you began to dislike me?"

Wei Zhao faced Xie Yanhe's indiscriminate accusations, and his face was helpless. He asked softly, "When did I ever dislike you?" You are the treasure in my palm and the treasure in my heart, and no one who I dislike will dislike you. ”

"Your Majesty, don't coax me with these sweet words."

Xie Yanhe was crying so much that she was sobbing and choking, and even her sweet and glutinous voice revealed a hint of sand, and she said without hesitation: "The crown princess fell into the water, and the Pang guards were killed, Your Majesty is clearly suspicious of me." ”

"Why do you think that?" Wei Zhao chuckled. The little girl's angry appearance seemed to be not admitting herself.

"The crown princess fell into the water, didn't Yao push her down. As for the slain guard...... No one in the Marquis of Jingping Mansion has ever been in contact with him, how can I suspect you. ”

Xie Yanhe's heart suddenly changed, it turned out that Wei Zhao had already investigated.

Therefore, even if Wei Zhao suspected that he was not innocent, he only had some doubts.

Xie Yanhe was extremely fortunate at this moment, thanks to Cui Fuyao's secret chess move, he was able to retreat with his whole body!

Now, what she wants to do is to use the death of Pang Guard to firmly stick to the East Palace, so that the crown prince will have a bad reputation for killing Zhongliang.

"Your Majesty, I still need to discuss this matter with my brother. If my brother and sister-in-law agree, then I will naturally not object. ”

Xie Yanhe could only offer a delaying tactic. Although she also knew in her heart that since Wei Zhao had made a decision, her marriage would not be delayed for long.
