Chapter 698: The case leads to speculation one after another

Concubine Xian lowered her head and replied, "The concubine didn't go to question the queen's mother, she just went to chat with her." Although the concubine did not have much contact with the queen, with the concubine's understanding of the queen, she did not look like a person who would murder Yun Guifei, and it was impossible for her to attack Fu Langzhong. ”

Concubine Xian's analysis made the emperor a little interested, and continued to ask: "I listen to the meaning of your words, it seems that you already have someone who doubts in your heart, right?" ”

Xian Guifei didn't answer immediately, she lowered her eyes and looked at her feet, as if she was hesitating about something.

The emperor encouraged her: "You don't have to worry about anything, just say what you want." ”

Concubine Xian hesitated for a moment before she said, "Then the concubine will talk about her guess, and please don't blame the concubine after listening to it." ”

The emperor said very generously: "Say whatever you want, I won't blame you!" ”

With the emperor's words, Concubine Xian finally said the guess in her heart.

"The concubine suspects that this matter is Concubine Yun's bitter trick, and she is directing and acting herself."

Sure enough, after Concubine Xian said this, the emperor's face was slightly ugly.

But the Son of Heaven has promised not to be angry no matter what Concubine Xian says, so he can't go back.

"Why do you have such a guess?" The emperor asked as calmly as possible.

Xian Guifei replied: "Because once something happens to the queen, the biggest beneficiary is Yun Guifei." And you know Yun Guifei's character best, so you don't need to say more about the concubine, right? Also, the power of Concubine Yun's mother's family is all over the capital, and it is easy to do something. ”

Concubine Xian immediately knelt down after speaking, "If the concubine said that sentence is not right, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up, I didn't blame you." Although the emperor said this, his tone was somewhat displeased.

Seeing that the emperor was so protective of Concubine Yun, Concubine Xian was resentful, and after getting up, she said: "Your Majesty, the concubine's temperament has always been calm and quiet, and she has never participated in the battle of the harem, and she is not interested in these battles. And the concubine is stupid, I'm afraid she will live up to His Majesty's trust. Your Majesty, the concubine resigned to temporarily take charge of the Sixth Palace, investigate the case of Concubine Yun, and ask Your Majesty to agree! ”

Concubine Xian knelt down again after speaking.

The emperor knew that she was angry with herself, and he also knew that he did prefer Yun Guifei.

The emperor helplessly held his forehead and said, "Why did you kneel down again?" Get up quickly. Didn't I say anything? ”

Concubine Xian slowly stood up and said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, the concubine really feels that she is incompetent and unworthy of your trust. While the concubine hasn't done anything wrong now, you should ask the concubine not to get involved in this matter anymore, lest if the concubine does something wrong or says something wrong, it will be more than worth the loss to make you unhappy. ”

Although Concubine Xian's temperament is bland, her temper still has a strong side.

Even Yun Guifei didn't dare to say what she thought so directly when she was talking to the emperor, and the people in the entire palace who dared to say what she thought so directly were probably no second person except her.

Concubine Xian's character sometimes makes the emperor feel bored, but sometimes it is also what the emperor admires most about her.

Now in this special period, there is no one around the emperor to be available, so he can only continue to let Concubine Xian temporarily manage the six palaces.

The emperor personally helped her up, coaxed her and said: "I know that you are complaining that I am biased towards Concubine Yun, okay, you dissipate your anger, I will no longer favor her." ”

The emperor said so, even if Concubine Xian was unwilling, she couldn't help but give the emperor a son.

"Where do the concubines dare to complain about Your Majesty? The concubine really thinks that she doesn't have that ability......"

Before she could finish speaking, the emperor said, "I said that you have this ability, and you have it." If you are free to investigate, I will not take sides. ”

"Yes, the concubine understands."

Concubine Xian sorted out her emotions in time.

Seeing that she had regained her composure, the emperor asked again, "Yun Guifei, have you been there?" ”

"The concubine hasn't been there yet."

The reason why Concubine Xian didn't go was because she was afraid that she would have an unpleasant quarrel with Concubine Yun if she went rashly.

The emperor knew that she had always been at odds with Concubine Yun, so he took the opportunity to say: "You go to find her now, if she doesn't cooperate with you, you will say that I asked you to ask her, if she is not convinced, she can come to me." ”

With the emperor's words, Concubine Xian instantly had some confidence, and went to find Concubine Yun when she left the imperial study.

While the harem was busy, the former dynasty was also busy.

Wan Lin was kidnapped and almost poisoned to death, which shocked all the ministers, who didn't know that Wan Lin was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and someone dared to touch him?

The matter between the queen and Yun Guifei has not been resolved, Fu Xiaojiu was assassinated twice in succession yesterday, and Wan Lin had such a thing again, these things are connected together, which can't help but attract a lot of speculation from people.

Huo Aobang, the Marquis of Zhenting, who was originally going to stay away from the temple, also came to the court today for this matter.

His relationship with Wan Jia is also known to everyone, and no one dares to come forward to talk to him when he sees his solemn look and frowning brows.

Dou Xianji and Dou Xianxu also frowned, because they knew in their hearts that many people suspected that this matter was related to their Dou family.

Who let everyone know that after the queen fell, Yun Guifei was the biggest beneficiary?

But some people think that the queen feels the crisis, and is afraid that Yun Guifei will be too arrogant after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, and without the emperor's support at that time, the queen's life can be imagined.

Therefore, I believe that the queen ordered someone to drug Yun Guifei, and sent someone to assassinate Fu Xiaojiu.

But there are also some people who suspect that this matter was done by a third person, because why would the harem battle involve Wan Lin?

There may be something else hidden in this.

Everyone argued about this matter in the early court, and the emperor had a headache when he heard it.

"Stop arguing! I have already handed over this matter to Huo Jing, the prince of Zhenting Hou, to investigate, and I have appointed him as a special envoy for supervision, and the Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department must fully cooperate with Huo Jing and listen to him at any time! ”

Everyone was unconvinced, how could a teenage child be allowed to investigate this matter, and the Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department could all obey him?

"One by one, don't think that when you are old, you can rely on the old and sell the old. Huo Jing is young, but he has killed countless enemies, not only is he extremely brave, but he also has a strategy beyond ordinary people. I'll leave it here now, this errand is only the most suitable for Huo Jing to do! ”

After the emperor finished speaking, everyone suddenly fell silent.

In fact, looking at the court, I am afraid that only a noble-born, upright and fearless young man like Huo Jing has this momentum, and he dares to investigate anything.

If the officials present were to investigate Wan Lin's kidnapping, if they found out that they were involved with a certain nobleman, their first thought would be to protect themselves, rather than find out the real culprit.

So these people pondered for a while, and they all closed their mouths in amusement.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Huo Aobang went to find the emperor alone.

The emperor expected that he would come to him, thinking that he was afraid that Huo Jing would be too young to take on such a heavy responsibility, so he came to ask the emperor to use someone else, but as soon as the Marquis of Zhenting opened his mouth, it was beyond the emperor's expectations.

"Your Majesty, when Jing'er went home last night, she told the minister something, and the minister thinks that this matter should be told to you."

The emperor asked curiously, "What did he tell you?" ”

Zhenting Hou replied with a solemn look in his eyes: "Jing'er said that he suspects that the assassination of Fu Xiaojiu and the kidnapping of Wan Lin should have been instructed by the same person. The kidnapping of Wan Lin may be a warning to Fu Xiaojiu, and the purpose of the warning to Fu Xiaojiu may be related to the queen and Yun Guifei. ”

When the Marquis of Zhenting said this, he cast a look of wanting to speak to the emperor.

When the emperor heard his words, he furrowed his eyebrows and pursed his lips, "Huo Jing, this kid is very smart, and he sees the problem very thoroughly, and I really didn't look away." I thought of what he said. But to be honest with you, I can't believe anyone is so bold, and it's not much different from rebellion. ”

Huo Aobang said: "Your Majesty, although the person who did this is bold, isn't it a bit serious to say that it is almost like a rebellion?" ”

"I don't think I'm serious. AUBANG, since you can say it in front of me, it means that you are also aware of the seriousness of this matter, and the reason why you are persuading me again is just worrying about one thing. ”

As he spoke, the emperor walked closer to Huo Aobang and asked in a low voice, "Do you also suspect that Concubine Yun and the Dou family are on their heads?" ”

Huo Aobang didn't speak, but his expression was obviously acquiescing.

The emperor's eyes suddenly showed a trace of disappointment, and he said helplessly: "Actually, I have thought this way for a long time, but I really don't want to believe it." In this way, you help me tell the prince and let him be bold to investigate, even if he really finds the Dou family and her head, don't be afraid, I will definitely not protect them. ”

Huo Aobang was going to stay away from the court, but now that Huo Jing suddenly had such a task, Huo Aobang didn't dare to leave in a hurry.

In order to appease Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu, the emperor gave them rich rewards, and allowed Wan Lin to recuperate at home for half a month.

This time, the holy decree was directly conveyed by Huo Aobang, and he and Zhen Yingzi came to visit Wanlin together.

Wan Lin's complexion had recovered well, and when they came, Fu Xiaojiu was helping him take a walk in the backyard.

Huo Aobang saw Wan Lin and first asked about his body, Wan Lin said that he was fine, Fu Xiaojiu also said that he was indeed fine, Huo Aobang and Zhen Yingzi were relieved.

Several people carefully discussed the case, and Huo Aobang told Wan Lin all about Huo Jing's speculation, and Wan Lin listened to it, but put forward a different opinion.

"Master Hou, do you really think that Yun Guifei is the most suspicious?"

Huo Aobang asked puzzledly, "Don't you doubt her?" ”

Wan Lin replied: "Xia Guan just thinks that if Concubine Yun does this, it will be easy to be suspected, even if she is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and then covets the position of the queen, but she will not be so anxious for the sake of the prince, she should be restrained, right?" ”

Huo Oubang thought for a while and asked, "Wan Lin, you don't doubt Concubine Yun, then do you want to doubt the queen?" ”

Wan Lin replied seriously: "No, Xia Guan is not suspicious of a certain person, Xia Guan thinks that Yun Guifei slipped a tire, Xiao Jiu was assassinated, and I was kidnapped may not have been planned by one person." We should probably look at each of these things separately. ”
