Chapter 272: Post-mortem results
After waiting for a long time, Cheng Zuo and Cheng Donglai walked out of the morgue, Cheng Donglai's face was not very good, after all, it was the first time he had watched the process of the autopsy, and it was really bloody.
Seeing that Qi Zhaoyu came out, Qi Zhaoyu immediately stepped forward and asked, "What are the results of the autopsy, but someone framed the princess's brother?" ”
He spoke: "Back to the eldest princess, I have examined the body of Qi Gongzi, and there is no sign of poisoning, and the traces on the body should be left by Huanai." According to his experience, it is very likely that Qi Gongzi and these people were too excited, resulting in the death of the exhausted people. ”
This work is the best in the entire capital, there are countless autopsies, there is no need to flatter others, after all, the officials who are older than him also require him to do things, so he speaks very straightforwardly. But hearing these words, Qi Zhaoyu was absolutely impossible to believe: "How is this possible? Are you wrong? ”
"If the eldest princess doesn't believe in the results of the autopsy, she can find someone she trusts to do the autopsy." The temper of the puppet also came up.
Qi Zhaoyu said coldly: "This princess just asked you to test it first, and then she will find a trustworthy person to re-examine the autopsy." ”
"In that case, then I wish the eldest princess can test the results she wants." Then he took his leave and left.
Qi Zhaoyu didn't expect a puppet to be so rampant, and was about to stop him, Wen Zhiyan spoke: "Zhaoyu, don't make any more troubles, the most important thing now is to solve Qi Min's matter." ”
"Your Highness, you know, my brother is not a good person with Longyang, how could he be entangled with a group of men, you must help the concubine find out the truth."
"Zhaoyu, you are the princess of this king, and this king will naturally help you, but you have to think about it, if everything is really as that pretend to be, then it will be the face of the Qi family to continue to investigate. The Duke of Qi is in the suburbs of Qi, so you can not be affected by rumors, but you are still in the capital. ”
Qi Zhaoyu's eyes changed a little when he looked at Wen Zhiyan: "Your Highness wants to stay out of the matter now, you refuse to let me investigate, isn't it because you are worried that this matter will implicate you?" ”
"If this king is really afraid that it will be affected, he will not accompany you today." Wen Zhiyan said, "This king is just reminding you that if you continue to investigate, it will only make this matter even bigger." ”
Qi Min's plan, Qi Zhaoyu couldn't be clearer, she just didn't expect that the ending that was supposed to be Wen Yunxi actually fell on Qi Min.
"This matter is already strange, my brother is dead, do you want me to stop there?"
"This king has said that if you want to investigate, I will never stop you. But the consequences of continuing to pursue should also be considered first. ”
"I have to get justice for my second brother." Qi Zhaoyu said resolutely, "Your Highness, can you help me?" ”
"If you lack manpower, this king will not refuse." After Wen Zhiyan finished saying this, he raised his feet and walked out, "This king still has something to deal with, so he will leave first." ”
"Your Highness!" Qi Zhaoyu wanted to stop Wen Zhiyan, but Wen Zhiyan didn't stop this time, "Since you don't believe it, then I'll check it myself." ”
As soon as Wen Zhiyan came out of the yamen, he saw Cheng Manqing coming towards him, Cheng Manqing saw Wen Zhiyan, and immediately stepped forward to say goodbye: "Your Highness." ”
"Miss Chen, why are you here?"
"There was a big case in Beijing, and my father was too busy to go back to eat, so the courtiers sent it to my father." Cheng Manqing explained.
"You have filial piety."
"These are the things that a courtier should do."
"Then the king won't bother you."
Wen Zhiyan was about to leave after saying this, Cheng Manqing thought about it, and still called out to him: "Your Highness, the courtiers are brave, I want to ask you a question." ”
Wen Zhiyan stopped, turned around and looked at Cheng Manqing with a puzzled look: "Miss Cheng has anything to say, just say it." ”
"Your Highness, the courtiers received a lot of things from the Treasure Pavilion, and they felt puzzled, so they sent someone to the Treasure Pavilion to inquire, only to know that you bought a lot of things for the courtiers." Cheng Manqing asked, "Your Highness, is it the people of the Treasure Pavilion who made a mistake, or is it true?" ”
Wen Zhiyan smiled, with a little melancholy in his smile: "It's nothing, I just feel a little pity, I was only a little ...... at the beginning."
Wen Zhiyan deliberately said half of it, causing Cheng Manqing to reverie: "Your Highness, do you also think it's a pity?" ”
"Miss Cheng is a very good person."
"Why did Your Highness give your courtiers those jewelry, and you still hide it from your courtiers, if your courtiers don't find anything abnormal, everything Your Highness has done is in vain."
"This king doesn't mean anything else, he just thinks those things are very good for you, so he bought them for you, if it's abrupt, don't be surprised."
Cheng Manqing's heart moved slightly, if there was no Qi Zhaoyu, he would have been the one who became the eldest princess in the first place. It's a pity that Qi Zhaoyu's appearance changed everything, she is just the daughter of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, how can she compete with the daughter of the Duke of Qi?
Cheng Manqing asked, "What about the princess?" ”
At the mention of Qi Zhaoyu, Wen Zhiyan's smile became even more bitter: "She is still inside, you should be able to see her when you go in." You also know that Qi Gongzi has an accident, she is Qi Min's sister, so naturally you have to care a little more. ”
"Then why didn't His Highness leave with the princess?" Cheng Manqing asked.
Wen Zhiyan said euphemistically: "This king still has some things to deal with, so he left first." ”
"Then the courtiers will not disturb Your Highness."
"It's still Miss Cheng who is empathetic."
Wen Zhiyan left after saying this, and Cheng Manqing continued to deliver food to Cheng Donglai.
As soon as Cheng Manqing entered the door, he heard Qi Zhaoyu's hoarse command: "Cheng Donglai, this princess has limited you to find out the truth of this matter within three days, otherwise it is undecided whether you, the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, can sit firmly." ”
"Princess, you also saw the situation of the second prince of Qi, this fact is in front of you, how can you let the lower officials investigate?"
"What a waste, what's the use of Xi Chu raising you?"
Qi Zhaoyu vented his anger on Cheng Donglai, and the words were hard to hear, and Cheng Donglai could only respond submissively.
Cheng Manqing watched from the side, and only felt that Qi Zhaoyu was no different from the shrew in the market, how could such a person be a princess?
However, Qi Zhaoyu's posture still scared Cheng Manqing, she stood next to her, and she didn't dare to intercede for Cheng Donglai at all.
"If the eldest princess really wants to find out about the second son, she can go to the emperor, as long as the emperor orders a strict investigation, my father will never shirk half a point." Cheng Weizhe didn't know when he appeared behind Cheng Manqing, Cheng Manqing was startled by him, and Cheng Weizhe didn't even look at her, walked directly past her, and walked straight to Qi Zhaoyu.
Qi Zhaoyu looked at Cheng Weizhe who suddenly appeared, and his eyes were unhappy: "Is Lord Cheng dissatisfied with this princess?" ”
"As the so-called food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, Weichen's father is the Jingzhao Mansion Yin of Western Chu, and he heard the emperor's order, when will it be your turn to point fingers?" Cheng Weizhe looked at Qi Zhaoyu expressionlessly, "As Wei Chen said, if the eldest princess can bring the holy decree, Wei Chen and his father will have no different words." ”
"You're just a little Hanlin Bachelor, how dare you talk to this princess like this?"
"Princess, Weichen is absolutely disrespectful to you, but there is a rule to be paid attention to in the affairs of officialdom, Jingzhao Mansion Yin obeys the orders of the saint, only the matter that the emperor asks to investigate, Jingzhao Mansion Yin can continue to investigate, doesn't the princess even understand this rule?"
Cheng Weizhe is the champion of the new department, and he is in the limelight, and even Qi Zhaoyu doesn't dare to do anything with him for a while.
"is worthy of being the champion, and the words he says are so loud." Qi Zhaoyu sneered, "Since you want a holy decree, then the princess will ask her father to make an edict." ”
"If the princess can ask for the holy decree, Weichen and his father will definitely not have any words of refusal." Cheng Weizhe said in a deep voice.
Qi Zhaoyu saw that Cheng Weizhe didn't enter, so he could only leave with his sleeves brushed up.
Seeing Qi Zhaoyu leaving, Cheng Manqing stepped forward: "Father, you haven't had lunch yet, I've brought you food." ”
Cheng Dong glanced at Cheng Manqing, in fact, he didn't blame Cheng Manqing for not speaking for himself just now, but under the backdrop of Cheng Weizhe, Cheng Donglai was always uncomfortable in his heart: "You put down the meal and go back first, there is nothing for you here." ”
Cheng Manqing didn't plan to stay longer, so she asked the maid to put down the food box and go back.
Watching Cheng Manqing leave, Cheng Donglai was a little helpless: "This girl, when will she be sensible?" ”
"When she just talked to the eldest prince, she looked very sensible." Cheng Weizhe said lightly, obviously, just now he saw the scene of Cheng Manqing and Wen Zhiyan talking.
Cheng Donglai was a little surprised when he heard this: "What did you say?" How could Manqing still have an intersection with the eldest prince at this time? ”
