Yuan Kai looked at Cangxi and brought back a girl, and asked, "Master, how is this girl settled?" ”

"Listen to the princess," Cangxi said.

"Princess, this is ......", Yuan Kai asked with a salute to Fu Ci.

"The fourth sister of the palace, Fu Yan'er", Fu Ci said.

Yuan Kai saluted Yan'er, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the fourth young lady, the slave Yuan Kai, the steward of the regent palace, if the fourth young lady has anything in the future, just tell the slave to be." ”

Yan'er returned the salute, "The housekeeper is polite." ”

"Princess, what do you think of these four young ladies?" Yuan Kai asked.

"Let her live in the east side hall of the palace, and find a few clever girls to choose for Yan'er," Fu Ci said.

Yuan Kai tilted his head to look at Cangxi, Cangxi nodded, "Listen to the princess." ”

After getting Cangxi's order, Yuan Kai responded and hurried down to make arrangements.

Seeing that Cangxi was still not leaving, Fu Ci saluted him, "The concubine sends the prince." ”

Cangxi never expected that Fu Ci would issue an eviction order. Out of inner indebtedness, Cangxi had no reason to refute Fu Ci, so he had to say: "You have a good rest." ”

Fu Ci didn't speak, and went straight into the house. Cangxi looked at her back, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

It's like putting him in a plateau area, and although he can still live, he always feels uncomfortable.

After watching the maid close the door, Cangxi stood for a while before leaving.

When they returned to the Crouching Tiger Pavilion, Cang'er and Hongyu were already waiting for Cangxi in the study.

Seeing Cang Xi enter the door, Cang Er and Hongyu both knelt on the ground and gave him a big salute.

"What are you doing here?" Cangxi asked.

Hongyu was the first to speak, "A fire at Miss Yan'er's house is definitely not an accident, and please ask the prince to be aware of it." ”

Cangxi rubbed his temples, "This king knows that this is not an accident, you guys get up first." ”

After Cangxi said this, he saw that the two of them were still kneeling on the ground and were indifferent, so he had to help the two of them up personally, "You two rest assured, this king will not let my aunt die blindly." ”

Hearing this, Cang'er and Hongyu stood up.

Cang Er took out the token from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Cang Xi, "This is what my mother picked up on the spot of the crime." ”

Cangxi took the token, and after looking at it, he was startled the moment he turned it over.

The word behind this token is a seal script, and there is a "Su" character on it.

Cang Xi held the token, raised his eyes and asked Cang Er, "Do you want to say that Concubine Su did it?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare, but it depends on the judgment of the prince," Cang Er said.

Listening to Cang Er's tone, Cang Xi didn't know what to say.

He was clearly sure in his heart that it was Su Manshuang's hand, but he still said it on his lips, but he judged it by himself.

Cang'er, does this distrust himself?

Cangxi thought about it, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will give you justice." ”

Cang Er answered, and Hongyu then arched his hand and said, "My subordinates still have something to report to the prince." ”

"Speak," Cangxi replied.

"Before the case, Cang'er walked through the back door when he returned home from Jin'an City. According to common sense, no one will pass through this door except for the prince, Cang'er and his subordinates, but the day Cang'er came back, he found that there were women's footprints in the mud in the backyard. ”

"Women's footprints?" Cangxi frowned and asked.

Ruby answered, "Yes." The subordinates have already made a model, I don't know if the prince will check it or not? ”

"Check!"

A one-word answer is the most deterrent.

However, for some reason, Cang Er still felt that even if Cang Xi found out the real culprit, he might not be in charge of them. It's not that he doesn't trust, but he feels that since he dares to do it, he must have some background and power. If the person behind him was Su Manshuang, Cang Er didn't know if Cangxi would enforce the law impartially. After all, the force behind Su Manshuang is Su You.

"Yuan Kai!" Cangxi called out the door.

Yuan Kai heard the sound and hurried in.

"Go, compare it to the template made of red jade, whose sole is exactly the same size as the template," Cangxi said.

Yuan Kai took the order, and after saluting, he went out of the room.

"This king will enforce the law impartially and will never shield anyone," Cangxi said.

Cang Er and Hongyu bowed to Cang Xi together and exited the room.

After leaving the room, Hongyu saw that Cang'er's brows were still not stretched, so she asked, "The prince said that he would definitely investigate thoroughly, why don't you look happy?" ”

Cang Er stopped, "On weekdays, I check this kind of thing. This time, the prince handed it over to Yuan Kai. ”

"Are you afraid that Yuan Kai will shield the prisoner?" Ruby asked.

Cang Er shook his head, "The prince has a life-saving grace for Yuan Kai, and Yuan Kai's loyalty is no less than that of you and me." ”

"In that case, what are you worried about?" Ruby asked.

"Yuan Kai went to investigate, and the first thing he really thought about was not you and me," Cang Er said.

Being so little by Cang'er, Hongyu immediately became clear.

She knew what Cang'er meant.

Yuan Kai went to find out the truth of this matter, and the first thing he knew was that the answer must be Yuan Kai and Cangxi. Then, when the time comes, if Cangxi wants to shield the real murderer, he just needs to shut up Yuan Kai.

Thinking of this, Hongyu couldn't help but shudder.

How could she think of Cangxi like this?

Could Cangxi be this kind of person?

Ruby didn't know. But she tacitly accepted in her heart that Cangxi was a good person.

Seeing that Cang'er was still sullen, Hongyu changed the topic, "I heard that the princess is back with Yan'er, you and I will go and say hello to the princess." ”

Cang Er nodded, he had this intention. When Fu Ci comes back, he will definitely make decisions for Xiangluo, which Cang'er is sure in his heart.

The two walked while discussing, and soon came to the door of Wutong Garden. Fu Ci had previously explained that Cang'er and Hongyu didn't need to stop when they came, so when Jiang Long and Jianghu saw these two people, they didn't stop them.

Cang'er knocked on the door, "Princess, Cang'er and Hongyu have come to greet you." ”

After hearing the voice, Fu Ci ordered the maidservant to open the door.

After Cang'er and Hongyu entered the house, after the maidservants served the tea, Fu Ci waved his hand at them, and the maidservants understood and withdrew from the room one after another.

"Say it", Fu Ci said with a sip of tea.

Cang'er glanced at Yan'er and motioned to Fu Ci to ask her to step back as well.

"Yan'er is now the righteous sister of this palace, so you don't have to hide this from her."

After Cang Er answered, he said, "The murderer of my mother may live in this mansion." ”

Hearing this, Fu Porcelain stood up suddenly, "What did you say?" But what did you find? ”

Cang Er shook his head, "The subordinates are just guessing. ”

Fu Ci was silent for a moment and asked, "Furong Garden?" ”

Cang Er nodded, and Fu Ci hurriedly asked, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"My mother gave me a token before she died, saying that it was dropped by the murderer. I saw that the token had the words 'Qiu Yecheng' on it, so I guessed that it might come from the Regent's Mansion," Cang Er said.

"Tokens?" Fu Ci muttered a few sentences, and suddenly asked, "What are the words on the token?" ”

Cang Er thought for a while, "It's a bird seal." It is quite similar to the piece that Master Su gave to the prince when I went out of customs that day. ”

"Can you see clearly?" Fu Ci confirmed.

"For such an important thing, the subordinates will definitely not admit their mistakes", Cang Er is sure.

For a moment, Fu Ci didn't know what to say. Seeing that Fu Ci was silent, Hongyu continued: "There is a backyard in the Regent's Palace, and only the prince, Cang'er, and I often go in and out of that courtyard, and the night before the accident, Cang'er came back to look for the prince, but found the woman's footprints in the backyard. ”

"Does the prince know?" Fu Ci asked hurriedly.

Cang Er nodded, and then said, "However, the prince did not let his subordinates investigate this matter. ”

Ying Cang'er said this, Fu Ci couldn't sit still anymore: "I'll go find him!" ”

"Princess!" Hongyu called out and quickly stopped Fu Ci.

"What's the use of you going to the prince at this time?" Ruby asked.

"I want to listen to the results of Yuan Kai's investigation with him," Fu said.

She was agitated and coughed again.

"You're still sick!" Ruby hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Then I can't let my aunt die in vain, I can't find out the real murderer, Fu Ci is ashamed of my aunt", Fu Ci's eyes were red when he said this. From her eyes, Hongyu seemed to see the deep hatred of the sea of blood.

Indeed, this is indeed a blood feud.

Xiangluo has taken care of Fu Ci for so long, even if there is no credit, there is hard work. What's more, Xiangluo treats Fu Ci more like his own daughter. At this moment, she left suddenly, how could Fu Ci not be sad?

Cang'er and Fu Ci had the same thoughts, so they took the initiative to say: "My subordinates will accompany you." ”

Fu Ci responded, explained Yan'er, and went to Crouching Tiger Pavilion with Cang'er.

On the way, Fu Ci suddenly remembered something, stopped and asked, "Where is my aunt's body?" ”

Hearing Fu Ci's question, Cang Er clenched his fists and pretended to be relaxed: "Cremated." ”

"Cremated?" Fu Ci asked rhetorically.

Cang Er answered, her voice was very soft, but tears were rolling in her eyes.

"So, what about the ashes?" Fu Ci took a deep breath and asked.

Cang Er took off a small cloth bag from his neck, "Here." ”

Fu Ci trembled and took over the small cloth bag, embroidered a few pieces of Cang'er tea on it, the stitches are very dense, the embroidery is also very realistic, at a glance it is Xiangluo's craftsmanship. Fu Ci held this small cloth bag, and the joints of his fingers were white, "Auntie, Porcelain will definitely take you back to Jinling and let you sleep next to your grandmother." ”

After speaking, Fu Ci put the small cloth bag back in Cang'er's hand, "You keep this thing for the time being, one day, this palace will ask you for it, so that my aunt can sleep peacefully next to my grandmother." ”

After Cang Er took it, he put the small cloth bag around his neck again. He wanted to take Xiangluo's ashes with him, but thinking of Xiangluo's last words, Cang'er felt that she should be more willing to be by Mrs. Qiu's side, right?

"Protect the princess for your mother, protect the jade dragon's head ......", this is Xiangluo's last words.

This is also what Mrs. Qiu told her before her death.

Thinking of this, Cang Er suddenly knelt in front of Fu Ci.

"What are you doing here?" Fu Ci asked.

"Before her death, my mother said that I would let my subordinates protect the princess and protect the jade dragon head", and after that, Cang'er solemnly kowtowed to Fu Ci.

Fu Ci has the impression that Cang'er and Hongyu never kneel easily. Thinking of this, Fu Ci's eyes turned a little red, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Cang'er up.

"Come, get up. You can rest assured, this palace will definitely protect the jade dragon head and will obey the wishes of grandmother and aunt," Fu Ci said.

Cang Er got up in response, and Fu Ci turned around halfway to wipe away his tears.

"Let's go, follow me to the Crouching Tiger Pavilion," Fu Ci said.

Cang Er agreed, and followed Fu Ci to the Crouching Tiger Pavilion.

Cangxi never expected that Cang'er would invite Fu Ci to come and listen to the results of Yuan Kai's investigation.

The three of them just sat like this, waiting for Yuan Kai.

Finally, after the sky was dyed with a layer of black ink, Yuan Kai hurriedly ran into Cangxi's study.

"Master, I found it!" Yuan Kai knelt on the ground and said.

Hearing this, the three of them got up, and Cangxi put his hand on the table and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"There are three people whose shoe sizes match the model made by the red jade girl, namely the green bamboo in our yard, the acacia in the Wutong Palace, and the Qingyuan aunt in the Furong Garden", after Yuan Kai finished speaking, he glanced at the faces of these three people.

That's going to be hard.

There is one person each in Crouching Tiger Pavilion, Wutong Garden, and Furong Garden, how to check this.

These three people, except for Su Manshuang's personal maid who came out of Qingyuan, the other two were rough maids. Although Qingyuan's suspicion is greater, the rough maid may not betray the master.

"Detain all three of these people to this king, and then investigate!"

Cangxi gave the order, and Yuan Kai went out of the study after receiving the order.

Seeing Fu Ci's sallow face, Cangxi said: "It's not too early, this king will send the princess back." With that, Cangxi was about to step forward to help Fu porcelain.

Fu Ci took a step back, avoided Cangxi, and squatted down slightly to salute, "Thank you for the prince's kindness, just let Cang'er send the concubine back." ”

Cang Xi didn't speak again, and watched Cang Er do something to him and then left his study after Fu Ci.

This woman is hiding from herself!

Cangxi put the teacup on the table and supported his head with his hands. In his mind were the three requirements that Fu Ci made to him.

"First of all, I'm going to take Yan'er back. In the future, she will be my sister-in-law, whose name is Fu Yan'er. I want the prince to keep her safe. ”

"The second case, I do anything, as long as I don't touch the interests of the prince, please don't ask the prince."

"When it's done, let me go."

"When it's done, let me go. When that's done, let me go. When it's done, let me go! Cang Xi's mind kept echoing this sentence.

He shuddered suddenly, and awoke from his sleep.

"What time is it?" Cangxi asked Yuan Kai who was standing aside.

Without waiting for Yuan Kai to speak, he heard three bells.

Cangxi rubbed his temples and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Yuan Kai waved his hand at Cangxi, "Lord Qiqi, the side concubine has been kneeling outside the door for two hours." She didn't want to see you, and the slave couldn't stop her, so she wanted to come in and say hello, but she didn't expect you to fall asleep at this table. ”

Cangxi didn't raise his head and said, "Let her go back." Tell her that the king will deal with it impartially. ”

"My lord, the slave feels that it is your impartial handling that makes our Concubine Su restless," Yuan Kai said.

Hearing this, Cangxi raised his head, "What do you mean?" ”

Yuan Kai waved his hand and said, "Those three people, the slave has already been tried. Bizhu is indeed innocent, and there is an alibi, but Bizhu and Qingyuan are difficult to say. Qingyuan was tortured, but she couldn't pry her mouth open, but this acacia vomited cleanly. ”

"What did she say?" Cangxi frowned and asked.

"Do you remember the last time you punished her for rewarding her concubine?" Yuan Kai asked.

Cangxi nodded, "This acacia received a lot of benefits at that time. Therefore, the situation of Wutong Garden, as well as your whereabouts, is clear to the Furong Garden. ”

Hearing this, Cangxi suddenly remembered those coincidences that seemed to be coincidences - the night he accompanied Fu Ci in Wutong Garden, Qingyuan came to report that Su Manshuang was pregnant; Every time I go to Furong Garden, Su Manshuang has exquisite makeup.

Are these coincidences really all coincidences?

"Go on!" Cangxi commanded.

Yuan Kai responded, and then said: "They can find out the details of Wutong Garden and know your whereabouts, so the matter of the princess's return to Jinling ......."

Yuan Kai didn't say any more. Speaking to this extent, if Cangxi still can't understand it, then his webpage will be in vain.

"Was it the fire that the Su clan sent someone to light it?" Cang Xi asked directly.

Yuan Kai shook his head, "Hehuan said that Concubine Su just wanted to destroy the jade dragon's head. For the princess Niangniang, the side concubine didn't have the courage to start. ”

Hearing Yuan Kai say this, Cangxi was confused. Since she just wants to destroy the jade dragon's head, why do she still have people set fire to Yan'er's house?

Also, why did she destroy the jade dragon's head?

Could it be that Su Manshuang is Zhou Ze's person?

No way! No way!

He didn't believe that Su You would collude with Zhou Ze, otherwise Su You would not have sent someone to send him a message, saying that if he didn't return to Qiu Yecheng, the news of his departure would be discovered.

"What else did she confess?" Cangxi asked.

He Huan also said that Concubine Fang had asked her to steal the jade dragon head and promised her the benefit of a large sum of money. This girl's family is sick and needs money urgently," Yuan Kai said.

Cangxi answered and didn't speak again. He still couldn't understand why Su Manshuang cared so much about the whereabouts of the jade dragon's head.

"But-", Yuan Kai paused.

"Speak straight," Cangxi commanded.

Yuan Kai saluted Cangxi, "However, Hehuan's arrest should be an accident." ”

Cangxi didn't squeak, gave Yuan Kai a look, and asked him to continue.
