Chapter 8: The Truth That Is Not the Truth
But no matter what these envoys thought in their hearts, the stone in the heart of the prince of Qianguo finally fell to the ground.
By saying this, King Yuan said that he was willing to settle the matter peacefully.
This is really good for the prince of Qianguo.
As for who killed Prince Mutuo, as long as it has nothing to do with Qianguo, he doesn't bother to care.
"The prince might as well say it directly, what is the method?"
King Yuan looked at His Royal Highness Ye Rong, "Does Your Highness Ye Rong remember what kind of wine my imperial brother invited you to drink that day?" ”
His Royal Highness Ye Rong was stunned, and thought for a while before saying: "It seems that there is more than one kind of wine, we talked about it that day, and we also enjoyed the famous round wind dance of your country, and then the dancer came to toast us, and the wine was actually red, very delicious." ”
"That's red cherry wine." King Yuan answered: "That's right, the crown prince and brother are allergic to red cherry blossoms, as long as they touch it a little, their skin will turn red and dotted." Therefore, Su Ri never drinks red cherry wine, let alone touches red cherry blossoms. ”
Hearing him say this, many envoys nodded their heads.
Apparently they are also in the know.
King Yuan turned his head to look at the prince of Qianguo again, "There should still be some in the post house, His Royal Highness the prince can order someone to fetch some." ”
Prince Qianguo nodded, agreed, and immediately sent someone to fetch red cherry wine.
The wait was long.
But looking at the soldiers and generals of the Qianguo who were wearing armor and holding a majestic style, none of the envoys dared to be presumptuous, and they all sat in place and waited in a proper manner.
Two quarters of an hour later, the soldiers who went to fetch wine from the Heguo Post House finally returned, and by the way, they brought two imperial doctors into the palace together.
King Yuan took the red cherry wine, and did not ask for help, but personally sprinkled the wine on the two corpses that had been dead for many days.
Soon, the corpse that was identified as Prince Mu Tuo had dense red spots on his body, and his skin was red and bright, and he looked really beautiful.
The other corpse, stitched with fine threads, did not react at all.
The two imperial doctors stepped forward to examine them one by one and confirmed King Yuan's words.
This time, there is no need for King Yuan to say, everyone understands.
Obviously, Prince Mu Tuo, who drank with the four princes of Qianguo and His Royal Highness Ye Rong at the Heguo Post House that day, is fake, that is to say, even if it is true that the four princes of Qianguo went crazy and killed people after drinking, it was only to kill the fake Prince Mu Tuo, so his crime of killing Prince Mu Tuo was not established.
As for who killed the real Prince Mutuo, how he killed him, and why did he kill him, these are the affairs of Heguo himself.
……
After the envoys dispersed, the prince took a long breath, and his nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally eased up, and while smiling and talking to Lord Yang beside him, he raised his feet and walked towards the side hall.
Shuoyang Hall is built during the reign of Taizu, imitate the palace of the emperor pole hall and build, in addition to the main hall there are left and right side hall and apse, the red wall and green tile bucket arch cornice, quite royal momentum.
There were already people waiting in the side hall.
It is the fourth prince Zhao Yunting (Ziyu).
Beside him stood a white-clothed young man wearing a silver mask, and a beautiful girl dressed as a maid.
The three of them stepped forward to salute together.
"Thank you, Brother Prince!" The four princes' expressions were full of excitement and joy, and this salute was respectful and sincere.
The prince smiled and helped him, "My own brother, what's polite...", his eyes turned to look at the white-clothed young man beside him, "I really want to thank you, we should all thank Tingrui, if it weren't for him, you would still be a prisoner in the post house of Heguo." ”
"Or maybe I've been sent to Nagaze Island by Honno." Ji Nancheng (word Tingrui) Road.
He said it without even thinking about it.
The prince was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and his face changed slightly, "It's not impossible." ”
The fourth prince stuck out his tongue and was terrified after thinking about it, "If that's the case, then won't I never come back." ”
Ji Nancheng looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll go and change you back then." ”
Lord Yang on the side didn't interject until this time: "According to the old minister, the king of Heguo has been ruined by us, and he must be unwilling, so he has to guard against him." ”
"Well, I thought so too...... This wall king is not a good thing. Ji Nancheng said.
The mask covered most of his face, and there was a faint coldness in his long, narrow eyes that were exposed.
The fourth prince looked at him like this, it was really an eyesore, "Third brother, what are you pretending to be cold, you obviously have a prosperous and beautiful face, but you prefer to wear a Raushzi mask, you are a big man, you are afraid of being looked at!" ”
"Well, I'm afraid of being watched." Ji Nancheng followed his words and said seriously.
The prince smiled at the two of them and smiled, his thin lips pursed slightly.
The fourth child has always been close to the Ji family.
The biological mother Hui Concubine Niangniang and the mother of the Hou Mansion are sisters of the same clan, the two are the same age, and they are cousins, so the relationship is naturally very good.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Lord Yang took the initiative to bow and leave.
The four princes didn't know what they thought, their eyebrows curled and they suddenly laughed, "Okay, without you Zhuyu in front, I, the fourth prince, will be the number one beautiful man in Kyoto, and I will also be the target of their fruit and car!" ”
"Congratulations to the Four Princes for being the number one!" Ji Nancheng exaggeratedly slammed at him to the end.
The fourth prince jumped away with a smile, glanced at the girl behind him, and couldn't help but sigh, "Third brother, who is she?" ”
Ji Nancheng turned his head, his eyes were hesitant for a moment, "She is Ayu." ”
"Ayu?" The fourth prince was surprised: "Third brother, don't you never take a maid when you go out?" What's the matter, it's changed? ”
Ji Nancheng said: "It's not a maid, she is Shen Yu, the only daughter of Vice General Shen, and she has been living in the Hou Mansion." ”
The fourth prince said "oh", and his expression was slightly clear, "It's the one who blocked the arrows for Hou Ye when he suppressed bandits last year?" ”
Ji Nancheng bowed slightly, and turned his head to look at Shen Yu again.
Shen Yu didn't know what he was thinking just now, but he came back to his senses at this moment and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The prince said a few words of praise to Vice General Shen, and Shen Yu saluted and thanked him again.
The fourth prince also accepted her gift, and by the way, he rewarded her with two boxes of jewelry.
Of course, it was only verbal, saying that he would personally send it to the Hou Mansion after returning to Beijing.
Since he was a child, he has often been in and out of the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and he does not treat himself as an outsider. Since she is the daughter of the deputy general who saved the Hou Ye, of course you have to get close. I didn't see her still living in the Hou Mansion, such a beautiful little lady, it is really pleasing to the eye.
I was really blind in the past, and I didn't even see it......
Shen Yu let him look at it generously, with a smile on his face, "That folk girl is better to be respectful than to obey her fate, and she will wait for His Royal Highness in the Hou Mansion." ”
"Okay, I'm here for you to entertain."
"Definitely. It is an honor for the people to be able to get to know His Royal Highness. ”
Ji Nancheng silently watched the interaction between the two, and his expression was gloomy for a moment.
The prince on the side shook his head.
Among the many brothers, this fourth brother is the most unreliable.
The people who are about to get married, and sneak out of the palace all day long to fool around with a group of gentlemen, either as lackeys and cockfights, or drinking and listening to music, and several times they have been bumped into by themselves.
If he hadn't begged bitterly, he would have gone to his father.
At this moment, the two of them didn't seem to look down on his bear-like appearance, and walked to the side of the table with a tacit understanding.
A table of wine had already been set up there.
The night was busy, and after dawn he was busy inviting the envoys to come here to discuss matters, and even if he was the crown prince, he didn't have time to eat a good meal.
At this time, the troubles are finally solved, and it is time to sacrifice the Five Organs Temple.
