Hua Qiao didn't meet Zhang Yue in Shou'an Palace, and Heidou didn't meet Hu Yanjin in Princess Lane.

Hai'an took out the bamboo pipe of Chonghua Palace, took another of their empty bamboo pipes and tied it, and rewarded it with a chicken leg, and the black bean was not polite, and went back to the palace with the chicken leg in his mouth.

"Look! The black dog of Chonghua Palace will go out to find food by itself! ”

"It's really a black bean, there is no female dog in the palace, it must run out, pick up the female dog, and come back to supplement some nutrition."

Black Bean: You stinky rascal!

The palace guards knew that it was the dog of Chonghua Palace, and they didn't hurt it, and several people giggled and pretended to grab its chicken legs. The black bean definitely didn't do it, he dodged left and right with a hum, rolled his eyes a few times at the palace guard, and entered the Shenwu Gate.

Xiao Gao saw that he had changed the bamboo pipe in Huyan Mansion and knew that Heidou had already delivered the letter. Black Bean, the messenger, was sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the fruits of his labor.

Hu Yanjin hasn't returned home yet, because Zhang Yue has already sent Li Yuan and his confession back to Wuying Hall together.

The emperor called him over as well.

"Zhang Yue, tell me, what did you interrogate?"

Zhu Zhanji has already read the confession, although there is a reason for the incident, he can't let such a thing happen around him, no matter what the reason.

"This time we left the palace and arrived at the Wild Wolf Valley in Lingshan, Yi Chengjin's camp had been burned down, and there were no new witnesses. After I returned, I interrogated Jin Wuwei, who claimed to have seen Zhao Xi. Results ......"

Zhang Yue glanced at Li Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Then Jin Wuwei retracted his confession and said that no one actually came to Wang Zhen, but Li Yuan instructed him to say so. So the minister asked the emperor to interrogate Li Yuan. ”

Li Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head, but his back was straight.

My father-in-law said, "The servants in the palace are bent when they stand, because we are missing something, and we are servants of the lord's house." But when we kneel, our waists are straight, because then we belong to ourselves.

The emperor looked at Li Yuan and sighed:

"Your intentions are good, but what you do cannot be forgiven."

Li Yuan kowtowed to the emperor and asked angrily, "Then did my father-in-law die in vain?" If Wang Zhen hadn't taken away the wood from my father-in-law's hands, it would have been my father-in-law who was alive, not him! ”

"Take Wang Zhen and Chen Tao."

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, Wang Zhen, who was waiting outside the hall, was brought in, followed by a person, who was Chen Tao, an internal servant who fell into the water with the same boat when he went to Nanjing last year, but was rescued in the end.

Seeing Chen Tao kneeling beside him with a wrinkled face, Li Yuan was taken aback.

"Chen Tao, tell the saint, what did you see when you were struggling in the Cao River that night?"

At that time, Chen Tao, like Wang Zhen, was a eunuch working in the outer hall of the Prince's East Palace. fell into the Cao River, and in the end only three eunuchs survived, including two of them.

Chen Tao landed on the ground with his hands, how could he dare to say anything more? Today in the Jinyiwei prison, I heard those ghosts crying wolf, and my scalp is still numb.

"That ...... Late, it was too dark, I sank and floated again, I was too busy to take care of myself, and I didn't see anything......"

Chen Tao saw Li Fu and Wang Zhen floating in front, as if they were still holding a wooden plank, but later only Wang Zhen was alive, and he also replaced Li Fu and went to the inner hall on an errand.

This made Chen Tao think about it very much, not to mention envy, jealousy and hatred.

Back in Beijing, the crown prince became the emperor at once, Wang Zhen only entered the palace when he was an adult, and he was also a scholar who had passed the Tongsheng examination before, and he was the only literate eunuch around the emperor.

The emperor is willing to let him do things, so his status has skyrocketed.

Once Li Yuan came to ask him about the situation of their drowning in the Cao River that night, Chen Tao added fuel and vinegar to his conjecture.

"The first time I surfaced, I saw Gonggong Li and Wang Zhen holding a wooden board together in front, and when I sank down and struggled again, I heard the sound of splashing water in front of me, and if I looked closely, I was the only one on the plank......

He said mysteriously: "That wooden board can't bear the weight of two people, Gonggong Li is like this, how dare I step forward?" Fortunately, a boatman found us and was saved. ”

He didn't mention that Wang Zhen killed Li Fu, but he said every word that Li Fu was killed by Wang Zhen.

In front of the emperor, how dare he talk nonsense, Xiao Zhong is still standing in front, he was also in the water that day, floating on the river, he could see a few meters away, could he not know?

Saying "I didn't see anything" is the most appropriate.

At this time, Li Yuan's back is not straight, I don't know if Chen Tao lied to him, or was he threatened by Jinyiwei and changed his words?

"The Emperor...... Emperor! That's not what he said before! He said...... "Li Yuan himself stopped, what's the point of saying this now?" He sighed secretly in his heart and said:

"Your Majesty, for the sake of my father-in-law and me, who have served you for many years, you will leave a whole corpse of the little one."

This is the best treatment that a eunuch who has been punished to death can get, and the treasure hidden in the purification room can be buried with his body.

"Exactly."

"Yes, I am avenging my father-in-law, so I took the opportunity to trip over the prince and go forward to help him, threw an old rope that had been replaced on the ground, and pretended to fall out of the arms of the princess.

Once I heard that Zhao Xi was from Wei County, Hebei, I remembered that Wang Gonggong was also from Wei County, so I bribed the palace guard and asked him to denounce Wang Gonggong, saying that Zhao Xi had come to him. ”

Wang Zhen didn't say a word, but he was secretly frightened in his heart, it seems that if he wants to sit firmly in the position of the first courtier in the imperial front, he still needs greater power and more ruthless means.

And all of this comes from the one on the dragon chair.

"Li Yuan, I miss your filial piety, and allow you to be buried with all your corpses, so you can go with peace of mind. Chen Tao, with sinister intentions, I can't leave you, so you can be a companion on Li Yuanlu. Take them both down. ”

When Hu Yanjin and Zhang Yue left the Wuying Palace, they happened to meet Xiao Zhong who came back outside the hall.

Xiao Zhong looked at Huyan Jindao:

"The emperor already knows that you are hiding the fact that you are not dead because of your wealth, and you have to make plans yourself. And ......"

Thinking about it, he felt that he was talking too much, so he swallowed the half of the words hard, and bowed his hand to the two of them and entered the Wuying Palace.

"I think ...... too The emperor called you today, but he just used Li Yuan to beat you. Zhang Yue frowned:

"Tomorrow on the fifteenth, I will send the Empress Dowager to Tantuo Temple, and it will take three or four days to come and go. Just before you came, the emperor told me that he had told the empress dowager that he would not let Hua Qiao see her off, but I was afraid that your plans would change. ”

Hu Yanjin had doubts in the palace just now, the emperor asked him to come to see a lawsuit that had nothing to do with him, Xiao Yan had been missing for more than ten days, and the half of the sentence that Xiao Zhong had just swallowed......

"That'...... Can you go tonight? ”

His instincts told him that all of this added up to a bad sign.

"I won't be able to enter the harem unless summoned by the Queen Mother." Zhang Yue knew that even if he went in, it would not be easy to bring out several people.

"Let's go back separately first, tomorrow Hua Qiao will always go to the palace gate to see him off, so we can only improvise. If you can go, you wait at the pavilion outside the city gate. ”

Hu Yanjin nodded, and outside the palace gate, the two hurriedly said goodbye.
