When Murong Mian arrived in the south study, Gao Shenghai was standing at the door, and when he saw him, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Say hello to the prince." ”

Murong Mian snorted, raised his feet and walked inside, Gao Shenghai turned sideways without a trace to stop him, "Lord Wang, please stay, the emperor is talking to Lord Zhang and Lord Huang inside, and the servants went in and said hello." ”

Murong Mian glanced at him, didn't say anything, and nodded.

When did he enter the south study...... Murong Mian smiled bitterly, the mountain rain was about to come, and some things had changed unconsciously......

He stood for a while, but he didn't see Gao Shenghai come out again, he didn't feel strange, he paced in place with his hands in a circle, and in the afterglow, a little eunuch looked at him in the door, and they suddenly understood that the emperor was giving him a dismount!

He couldn't help but laugh, such childish behavior was really the emperor's character. The one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, under the training of Bai Guifei, the dark side of the emperor has begun to show its dew.

He remained silent, continued to pace, pretending to look at the surrounding scenery, and slowly walked into the distance, just after walking out, he heard the voice of Gao Shenghai coming from behind, "Lord, the emperor invites you in." ”

Do you think that leaving him out will make him impetuous? Murong Mian smiled secretly in his heart, and indifferently followed Gao Shenghai into the door.

Zhang Jisheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Huang Zhongyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood next to the emperor on the left and right, but the emperor raised his eyes to look at him, and there was something strange to him in his eyes.

He saluted in a proper manner: "I don't know what the imperial brother is in such a hurry to call his younger brother here, what's the matter?" ”

The emperor didn't give him a seat, so he let him stand like this, his face was cloudy, and after a while, he raised his chin to Huang Zhongyuan, "Let Lord Huang speak." ”

Huang Zhongyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, arched his hand upward, a pair of small eyes were shrewd, but his attitude was respectful, "The emperor called the prince to come, it was for the case of King Yu, King Yu died tragically, the emperor was furious, and handed over the case to the lower officials and Lord Zhang for investigation, the lower officials and Lord Zhang did not dare to slack off, after many investigations, before the disappearance of King Yu, there was a little unpleasantness with Princess Chu in the palace, this was the last appearance of King Yu, and since then, no one has seen him.

According to the words of Princess Yu, when the prince broke into the palace, he was full of murderous energy, and he also instructed people to stir up the backyard to make the chickens and dogs restless, looking as if he had a common enmity with the king of Yu, and moved away the most precious strange stone of the king of Yu, which has not been returned so far.

As for why the prince is in a hurry to find King Yu, the lower officials also checked, on the night of Concubine Rui's birthday, King Yu wanted to misbehave with Princess Chu by getting drunk, at that time, the emperor, Concubine Rui, Guifei, and Concubine Xian were all present, and it was determined that there was something going on, and the court knew that the King of Chu loved his wife as his life, and the Princess of Chu was humiliated, and the prince must have been angry, and it was difficult to eliminate the anger in his heart, so he went to the door to find trouble with King Yu, and after King Yu woke up, he knew that he had done something wrong, so he hid and did not dare to show his face, and later, King Yu's body was found by the moat......"

While Huang Zhongyuan was speaking, the emperor had been observing Murong Mian's expression, but his face was calm and he couldn't see any emotion. originally thought that leaving him out would make him impetuous, and then accuse him, the king of Chu would definitely be furious, as long as he was out of control and the minister was present, he could not be identified as the king of Yu who he killed, at least he could be held accountable for a crime of disrespect.

But he was disappointed, and the king of Chu was very calm, standing there in silence, listening to Huang Zhongyuan's accusations against him like an outsider.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly felt a kind of powerlessness, the person standing in front of him, with a majestic posture, a firm gaze, he even saw a kind of kingly demeanor in him, and these were what he lacked......

All along, he wanted to extinguish his majesty, to see him surrender at his feet, begging for mercy with a gaze full of fear. But in this moment, he knew that his hopes had been dashed.

After Huang Zhongyuan finished speaking, he glanced at the King of Chu, "What objection does the prince have to the words of the lower officials?" ”

"No," Murong Mian said, "what you said is the truth, on the night of Concubine Rui's birthday, King Yu wanted to misbehave towards Princess Chu, and was bumped into by the emperor, Concubine Rui, Guifei and Concubine Xian, this king was not present at the time, and only heard about it afterwards, so he was naturally angry, this is human nature, there is nothing to explain, if the adult's wife is insulted, the adult will definitely want to kill that beast as bad, right?" ”

Huang Zhongyuan was a little annoyed, pulled what his wife was doing, and said coldly: "So the prince killed King Yu to vent the hatred in his heart!" ”

"Lord Huang must have evidence when he speaks!"

"The motive of the prince is obvious!"

"Can motive be the same as murder?" Murong Mian looked at Huang Zhongyuan and said word by word, "Lord Huang's third lady once got along with a dramatist, and then the actor disappeared, can this king say that he was killed by Lord Huang?" ”

"You?" Huang Zhongyuan didn't expect the King of Chu to say this ugly thing in public, and he was annoyed and angry for a while: "The King of Chu must have evidence when he speaks." ”

"This is exactly what this king wants to say to Lord Huang."

"Alright," the emperor shouted, "I don't want to say a word." He looked at Murong Mian, "On the night of Concubine Rui's birthday, you didn't stay with the princess, where did you go?" ”

Murong Mian smiled a little contemptuously: "Didn't the imperial brother see it, the younger brother is talking to the queen." ”

"What do you have to say that night?"

Murong Mian replied to the question, "Don't you think it's strange to the imperial brother, the imperial brother, Concubine Rui, the noble concubine, and the virtuous concubine bumped into King Yu's desire to do wrong to the princess of Chu, and then bumped into the courtier's brother and talked to the queen. How did it happen so coincidentally? ”

The emperor was silent, his gaze slowly withdrawn from his face, and cast it on the gold bricks, thoughtful.

Zhang Jisheng, the secretary of Dali Temple who had not spoken, spoke at this time, "Your Majesty, Rong Laochen also said a few words." ”

The emperor agreed, "Say it." ”

Zhang Jisheng cleared his throat, "This case was investigated by Xiaguan and Lord Huang together, what Lord Huang said is indeed the truth, the prince has motives and suspicions, for this reason, Xiaguan checked the itinerary of the prince during that time in detail, and did not find any abnormality in the prince, the lower official thought that as long as he did it, he would leave traces, if nothing could be found, there was only one explanation, King Yu's death had nothing to do with the prince." ”

Huang Zhongyuan said angrily: "Lord Zhang, you are clearly covering up. ”

"Lord Huang, Xiaguan is a Dali Siqing, and he has sentenced eight thousand, not to mention 10,000 big cases, and he is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, but it is the criminal department," he snorted, "I am used to extorting confessions by torture, and I have made a lot of false cases." ”

"You!" Huang Zhongyuan glared at him, turned his head and bowed his hand to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks ......"

The emperor waved his hand, "If there is no conclusive evidence, don't say it again, this case should not be delayed for too long, you must give Princess Yu an explanation, you can watch it." King Yu is the prince and my imperial uncle, so don't be too ugly about the face of the clan. ”

When the emperor said this, Murong Mian knew that he had passed this level, and Zhang Jisheng and Huang Zhongyuan also knew how to close the case.

The person who has the courage to kill the king of Yu, of course, is not an ordinary person, not the king of Chu, but also a big man with the same high power as the king of Chu, once the matter here is involved, it will inevitably cause chaos in the government and the opposition, with the character of the emperor, he would rather cover it than show the rot under it to others.
