At the end of noon, the emperor and Hu Ronghua arrived at the palace together with Hu Ronghua's father, Hu Yuzhi and Hu Jiqing.

Hu Ronghua's face was pale, the tears on his face had not disappeared, and after seeing his daughter's body, he mourned in his heart and fainted on the spot. His father Hu Yuzhi has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, the officialdom has been staggering for so many years, he looks very old, and his only granddaughter is gone, Hu Yuzhi understands in his heart that she is a victim of power, he was disheartened for a while, and knelt in front of the emperor without saying a word.

The emperor personally helped Hu Yuzhi up, comforted a few words, and saw that Hu Yuzhi looked demented, as if he didn't listen to his words at all, the emperor ordered someone to help him to the side hall to rest, and ordered someone to move Hu Ronghua to the side hall, and sent the imperial doctor to Hu Ronghua to see him.

For Hu Yuzhi and Hu Ronghua's father and daughter, the emperor is actually not very impressed, the women in the deep palace, the concubines who can be a little bit in front of him over the years, either disappeared for no reason, or were blatantly harmed by Rong Guifei's means, and those who can survive either become Rong Guifei's pawn, or live as a transparent person, Hu Ronghua is undoubtedly this latter kind of person.

In the previous dynasty, Hu Yuzhi had not spoken seriously in the court for all these years, and the emperor's impression of him was only that he seemed to have a concubine who was his daughter, and his daughter gave birth to a princess.

If it weren't for the accidental death of Blooming Green, the emperor probably wouldn't have remembered the existence of this Hu Ronghua and Hu Jiqing.

Originally, the emperor didn't want to come in person, but Yang Ling was involved, and after he heard the report, his first thought was that someone was framing Yang Ling again. These sons of his are really not worrying.

As soon as he came in, he observed that Yang Ling had always been calm and relaxed, and he couldn't help but praise this son even more.

In fact, from the moment the head of Jing Lie was sent to the palace, he began to care about this son in his heart. Ruthless and spicy, this is the most basic quality that an emperor should have. There is also a quality, that is, you must have a good mind, otherwise, you will be eaten by those tigers and wolves in the court.

He is a living example of this.

has been sitting on the throne for more than 20 years, and to this day, he has to admit that he is a failed emperor, and now the Great Liang Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and a gust of wind can blow it down, but his sons are still killing each other for the throne under his ass, and none of them think about the Great Liang Dynasty and the Lu family.

The emperor has always believed that he was clever and brought the Great Liang Dynasty to where it is today, and he always felt that it was not because of his ability, but because of bad luck. For example, now, he is very proud of his vision, and before Yang Ling arrived in the capital, he had already seen the excellence of this son.

The future of the Great Liang Dynasty may be saved.

No, not perhaps, he will definitely not let the Great Liang Dynasty end like this. What he can't do, he'll let his son do.

Blooming Qing's death did not make the emperor feel a trace of sadness, on the contrary, the emperor was a little happy in his heart, because he finally saw a hope that he could inherit his mantle.

Although he was happy in his heart, on his face, the emperor still showed great anger and sadness.

It was the eunuch Feng Bao who came out with the emperor today, and Feng Bao, who always looked like a smile, was also the same as the emperor today, with a sad look, under the emperor's instructions, Feng Bao called back the princes who were checking clues outside. The emperor asked them about the situation, and the second and fourth princes made no progress, so they hung their heads and prevaricated a few words that were not painful.

Concubine Rong recommended the work to the emperor and explained that it was Yang Ling's proposal.

Concubine Rong knew the emperor's personality too well, and she knew that he would definitely let him do the autopsy. Family affection is negligible to him, but he does not allow anyone to challenge his absolute power.

Although he doesn't have much "power" now.

After examining the corpse with trembling trembling, it was reported to the emperor that the little princess was killed by the power of the inner family, and the little princess's internal organs had been shattered.

The emperor was furious and ordered the crown prince and several princes to quickly find out the murderer.

When the prince asked the second prince about the torture, did he find that there were masters of the inner family among those people, because all the people who had been close to the little princess were tortured by the second prince, and the ones who had the most chance to attack were their group.

The second prince shook his head and denied it, saying that he hadn't found it, but in order to ensure that there would be no loopholes, he still asked the prince to check it himself.

The prince chose an internal master among the horsemen, and tested those attendants one by one, and made sure that none of them had internal strength.

These people don't seem to be suspicious.

The prince was cautious, and did not release them immediately, but ordered them to be escorted to a nearby courtyard and imprisoned.

Things seem to have reached an impasse. The fourth prince proposed to pull all the guards over and ask again, after all, when it comes to martial arts, they are all powerful characters, and there should be no shortage of masters in them.

The so-called guards, except for the little men and horses of the three princes, belong to the prince's horses.

If the horse is censored, it will undoubtedly affect the prince's reputation, even if the murderer is not found out from the horse in the end, the emperor is suspicious of the prince, which is also a big blow to the prince's foothold in the court.

Yang Ling stood under a pillar of the palace, sneering in his heart, it seems that the mastermind behind this scene wants to kill several birds with one stone, and if he can't hit this, he will hit that.

It's a pity that the little princess named Blooming Green is gone.

The emperor agreed to the proposal of the four princes, but this heavy responsibility still fell on the head of the second prince, and the four princes were sent to the lotus pond to find clues.

The three princes and the crown prince were not assigned tasks, and they were uncomfortable staying in the depressing hall.

The emperor asked Yang Ling what he thought, Yang Ling said that he had no opinion, but his eyes stayed on the body of the sixth prince Lu Zhan, and looked at him with interest.

The emperor's concubine and several people present noticed his expression, and the emperor said suspiciously: "What are you looking at the sixth child?" ”

Yang Ling moved the corners of his mouth with a smile, "Oh, it's nothing, I just think that when the Sixth Prince called for help at that time, he didn't call the people next to him, but called me, who was quite far away, which was really prescient." ”

The emperor's cold gaze couldn't help but move to the sixth prince, and his voice was steep: "Little Liu, what's the matter?" ”

The sixth prince was frightened, and without much interrogation, he told the truth, he said, Blooming Qing admired Yang Ling at first sight, and when everyone was playing in the lotus pond, she wanted to attract Yang Ling's attention, so she jumped off the lotus pond herself, and before jumping into the lotus pond, let him help call Yang Ling to save his life.

Yang Ling frowned, knowing that the words of the sixth prince were probably true, but he had diagnosed the little girl's pulse at that time, and there was no big problem, and this matter must have been made by someone later, who wanted to use the little princess's death to hit the opponent.

The emperor was so angry that he trembled, scolded the six princes, and ordered someone to send him to the palace to think about the garden for two months.

Siguoyuan doesn't sound terrifying, but it's actually a place in the palace that is similar to a cold palace, specially used to punish the children of the royal family who have made mistakes.

Lu Zhan was so frightened that he begged for mercy, except that the prince begged him for a few words, and did not help him speak, the emperor did not give the prince face, and ordered someone to drag the six princes away.

The prince was already in danger of himself, but he was still so benevolent, the emperor was very dissatisfied with him, and asked him why he made things like this, the prince was weak, but not confused, he naturally understood that some of his brothers were framed by this, and his emperor Lao Tzu was also dissatisfied with him, and wanted to suppress him, he was panicked, and he didn't know how to defend himself, so he had to kneel on the ground and ask the emperor to punish him for his dereliction of duty.

The Hu family was already in chaos, and no one asked the emperor for an explanation, but the emperor didn't want people to think that he was a confused emperor, so he still made a monarch with clear rewards and punishments, scolded the prince, and limited him to quickly find clues within two days to bring the murderer to justice.

Yang Ling always felt that this matter was not the same thing as the trap that Lu Xiaoxiao reminded him to pay attention to, this may have happened suddenly, it was an accident, and the real trap didn't know where it was hidden at this time, the black hand behind the scenes, and he didn't know where to start.

If you dodge, you can certainly prevent getting into trouble, but Yang Ling doesn't want to do it.

The outer hall of this palace is not large, and he can see the expressions of all the people present, frightened, dazed, and gloomy...... These unfamiliar faces, this strange place, made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Xiaoxiao walked up to him and asked with concern, "Your face is not very good, do you want to take a rest?" ”

Yang Ling shook his head, "I'm fine, probably because I drank a little too much." ”

The Seventh Prince suddenly stood up and said, "The place where I live is not far from here, and it is quiet, so why don't you go to my place to rest." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao was about to refuse for Yang Ling, but Yang Ling had already agreed, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen is unwell, can he ......?"

The emperor didn't listen to the words of the Seventh Prince and said, "You go and rest with Xiao Qi." Xiao Qi, you follow the past, if Yang needs to join the army, you can help with it. ”

The difference between the seventh prince and the sixth prince is only a few months old, a little more than fifteen years old, and he looks like a soft and weak child, slender and slender than the other princes, and his appearance is also better-looking, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of eyes like frightened beasts, flickering, and his voice is also soft: "Yes, father." Turning to look at Yang Ling, he said softly: "Yang joins the army, please come with me." ”

Yang Ling glanced at the Seventh Prince and nodded: "Okay." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao also followed: "I'll go with you, I'm tired too, go to Lao Qi to take a rest." ”
