However, in the end, neither Dongchang nor Jingzhao Mansion could give a clear answer.

It has been five days since the eldest prince was imprisoned.

This time was enough to break the prince's mental defense, but it didn't make the queen's side too proud.

After all, I originally thought that it would be easy to find evidence, but it took so long that no other evidence was found.

At this stage, the only evidence is that the two dead strategists are indeed the people of the Great Prince.

But of course, the eldest prince would not admit that he had ordered these two people to do these things.

It became an impasse.

For the eldest prince, of course, it is good news, after all, there is no direct evidence to prove that he did it.

For the queen, she was very angry, this is all a duck to her mouth, but she can't eat it.

The emperor severely reprimanded Cao Tingyu and Jingzhao Mansion Yin, but he didn't mean to ask them to continue to investigate.

After a long time, he received Cao Tingyue's words, and he actually knew very well that the emperor was not angry at all, and even breathed a sigh of relief because Cao Tingyue did not find more direct evidence.

Therefore, even if it is said that it is to be punished, it is not light or heavy, and the punishment is just a month, for people like Cao Tingyue, it is equivalent to no punishment.

This shows the attitude of the emperor.

It's just that externally, he always has to make himself angry.

Since this is the case, I have been waiting for my opportunity to come.

This opportunity soon came, that is, someone returned to the emperor and said that since there is no direct evidence to prove that this matter has something to do with the eldest prince, it should be necessary to release the eldest prince from the Zongren Mansion.

After all, this great prince has been locked up in the Zongren Mansion for so long for no reason, and His Majesty should even give some relief.

But, of course, the queen refused.

She immediately went to the emperor and said, now even if there is no direct evidence to prove that the eldest prince is the mastermind of this matter, but now the biggest suspect is still the eldest prince.

After all, no one else is suspicious, the only one who is suspicious is the eldest prince, and he should give an explanation for this matter no matter what.

The queen spoke sincerely, and she was the master of the harem, she said such a thing, the emperor inevitably had to hesitate more and more, in fact, Chi Chi knew in his heart that the emperor's hesitation was because there was no suitable reason and excuse, so that the queen could shut up, so that those civil and military officials could shut up.

He has an eccentricity for the eldest prince, and it is because of this eccentricity that he can't make things more obvious and direct.

The emperor hesitated, but he was the emperor, and as soon as he hesitated, it was natural that someone should hand over the sleepy pillow.

This person is waiting for the opportunity for a long time.

On the first day of announcing that he could go out, Chi Chi went directly to the emperor's imperial study.

This Lu Cheng was still guarding outside, and when he saw that he was coming over, he hurriedly said "ouch", and then greeted him, "Your Highness, your body is not yet well, why are you running around, but you are here to ask Your Majesty for peace?" ”

This Princess Jinyang is the most filial and knows the rules, this matter, everyone in the palace knows about it.

So at this moment, Lu Cheng was just thinking about whether she had come over to say goodbye for a long time.

But Chi Chi shook her head, her lips were still a little white, and now under this sun, her skin seemed more and more transparent, and the whole person was indeed weaker.

She blinked, "Is Father in there?" ”

Lu Cheng nodded, "Naturally, do you want the slave to go in and reply?" ”

Chi Chi looked a little apprehensive, and pursed his lips again, "Father, is today's government affairs busy?" ”

"This ...... The minions just don't know, but there is really no minister in it at this time. ”

Chi nodded his head, "Then please ask my companion to help me bring a word." ”

"Your Highness, please speak."

After a long time in front of the imperial study, he suddenly knelt down, and Lu Cheng was startled, "Your Highness, what are you doing?" If you have anything to say, just say it, this body is not good in the first place, but it will make Your Majesty feel distressed. ”

Chi Chi shook his head, "I beg my father to forgive me for the responsibility of the eldest brother." ”

Lu Cheng was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Ouch, Your Highness! I can't say that. ”

Now that he has said this, he has directly stated that he is on the opposite side of the queen.

The eldest prince is nothing, anyway, he lives outside the palace, and he is a prince, even if he doesn't deal with the queen, it's nothing.

But for a long time, a princess still lives in the palace, which is big or small.

If the queen wants to wear small shoes for her, she doesn't know how much of a bad time she has in this harem.

Lu Cheng was really good for this newly rising princess, so he could only sigh and say, "Your Highness, you have thought it through." ”

Lu Cheng actually knew the emperor's thoughts, but this matter was indeed too difficult, and if the queen did not let go, it would be difficult for the emperor to reveal this matter.

Otherwise, the emperor and queen will lose harmony because of this matter, and the final impeachment of the official can only be the eldest prince, which is also no benefit.

Chi Chi lowered his head, "Please pass it on." ”

Then there was nothing Lu Cheng could do, he just went in, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at him, and asked him, "Didn't I hear that Jinyang was coming?" But out there? ”

Lu Cheng said, "Yes, it's really outside." ”

"Just announce her in." The emperor dipped the ink, "There is still a cold wind from time to time, and her weak body blows, and she will go back to lie down for several days." ”

Lu Cheng was embarrassed, "Your Highness...... Kneeling outside. ”

The Emperor frowned at him, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Cheng said, "Your Highness begs Your Majesty to forgive His Royal Highness the Great Prince's guilt." ”

The Emperor put down his pen, "What? ”

"The slave persuaded him, but he didn't listen, His Highness knelt down when he came, and he refused to say a word next to him, the slave thought, their brother and sister are deeply affectionate, and His Royal Highness has been lying in the palace for a long time, but he is afraid that he has already been worried, and now he can come out, so he hurriedly came over."

The Emperor frowned, "Tell her to come in and talk back." ”

Lu Cheng went out to call, but he refused to move, she said, "Erchen knows that this matter was originally against his father, and it is already the fault of Erchen to make his father angry, how can he dare to go in to meet Tianyan, Erchen just knelt at the door, whether his father agrees or disagrees, just express Erchen's own intentions." ”

It's stubborn and hard enough.

Who the hell is it like.

The Emperor thought she was like himself.

Originally, Lu Cheng thought that the emperor might be angry, but what he didn't expect was that the emperor just sighed, then put down the red pen in his hand and stood up from the front of the dragon chair, "Since you don't want to come in to see me, then ask me to go out to see her." ”

With such accommodation, this princess has really completely turned over.

Lu Cheng was amazed in his heart, but his face did not show it at all.

The emperor came out, he looked down at Chi Chi, "It's windy outside, what are you doing here?" ”

Chi Chi just kowtowed, "Erchen knows that this matter is the eldest brother's mistake, but Erchen knows that the eldest emperor's nature is not bad, and this matter must be that the eldest emperor's brother is about to take a wrong step, so fortunately, it did not cause a catastrophe, and it can be remedied." ”

The emperor thought that she would say that there was no evidence that the eldest prince did this, but she didn't expect that she knelt down and directly confessed to it.

The Emperor snorted, "Remedy? How can it be remedied? ”

"It is to ask the eldest brother to take care of the second emperor brother carefully, if there is anything else in the second emperor's house, the eldest brother will be held accountable. Erchen knows that the eldest brother must have regretted his mistakes now, and even if he says a thousand things now, he can't go back to the past. In that case, why should we continue to look into the past? Let's just think about what we want to do in the future. ”

This is said to the emperor's heart, since the past has already happened, it is useless for you to say it again, so why bother to continue to say it, it is better to look at the future.

The Emperor asked her, "Then as you say, this is the end of the matter?" ”

"If this matter is not in the past, I am afraid that there will be a brother wall in the future, the eldest brother and the second emperor brother were originally brothers with great feelings, where is there really anything bad, even if I thought wrong at the beginning, I must regret it now. If the father really convicts the eldest brother, or drives him out of the capital, the two brothers will never have a chance to shake hands and make peace. ”

Tears fell into his eyes, "Father, everyone says that the kindness of the heavenly family is thin, but Erchen feels that as long as they are brothers and sisters, this is kindness, how can he give up lightly, if the father is gracious, please give the eldest brother a chance, Erchen believes that he must not dare, and he will not do it anymore." ”

"You promise, how do you promise?"

Lu Cheng felt in his heart that this Princess Jinyang was really too powerful.

Such a passage, no matter who it sounds like, is a statement that a sister should make.

She is not on the side of the eldest prince, nor on the side of the second prince, she is on the side of the emperor.

She didn't want the emperor to watch flesh and blood kill each other, and she didn't want the emperor to see his son and brother fighting against each other.

She believed in her brother, and dared to kneel before the emperor for such a thing.

"Erchen is willing to vouch for this for the eldest brother."

The emperor looked at her for a moment and did not speak.

But Lu Cheng already knew what the emperor meant.

Originally, I thought that this matter was a big victory for the queen, but what I didn't expect was that the fisherman benefited at this time, and it was this Princess Jinyang who had been lying for so long and had just gone out today.

Chi Chi lowered his head and knelt in the cold wind.

Her expression was resolute, and she had the meaning that if you don't agree, I won't get up.

The emperor has long been shaken.
