Han Yan's attitude is very resolute, and he will not admit anything anymore.

Huo Jing had no choice but to cast a gaze on Wan Lin for help.

Wan Lin moved closer to him and said in a low voice: "Shizi, if this matter is investigated again, I'm afraid it won't end well." Why don't you get here here today, and then let's go into the palace and tell Your Majesty what Your Majesty means. ”

Huo Jing weighed it for a moment, and only said helplessly: "What Master Wan said is exact, then let's stop here today." ”

Han Yan was temporarily taken into custody, and today's trial was suspended.

Fu Xiaojiu understood their intentions in doing this, and didn't blame them.

Wan Lin and Huo Jing were about to enter the palace, so they sent Fu Xiaojiu back to the hospital first.

Now that it is almost time for the hospital to close, as soon as Fu Xiaojiu comes back, he is pulled by Wan Feizhi to inquire about the case.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't tell her the truth, only said that today's trial was not going well, and the trial was temporarily suspended, and then she said that she was very tired after tossing for a long time, and she would go to rest early.

Wan Feizhi could see that Fu Xiaojiu was reluctant to say more, knowing that this case involved King Jie, it must be very tricky.

Wan Feizhi was still a little worried about Wan Lin, afraid that he would offend King Jie because of this.

"Feizhi, don't worry, your third brother can handle this matter well, he and the prince are going to face the saint, everything depends on the emperor's will."

Fu Xiaojiu could see Wan Feizhi's worry, but he couldn't hide the helplessness and powerlessness in his tone.

Because she knows who is behind the scenes, but she can't bring him to justice.

At that time, King Jie said that he wanted to enter the palace to find the emperor, but as soon as he came, the emperor knew his intentions.

The emperor didn't give him a chance to speak, first told him something else, and then left him alone in the imperial study.

King Jie waited for half an hour and didn't see the emperor come back, he couldn't wait anymore so he went to Concubine Xian again.

As a result, when he arrived, Han Yan was already about to be taken away.

King Jie later learned from Concubine Xian what she had said to Wan Lin and others, and after knowing it in his heart, King Jie also went back.

Now Wan Lin and Huo Jing came to the emperor again, and the emperor guessed their thoughts at once.

Seeing them, the emperor asked straight to the point: "Have you caught that bold suspect?" ”

Wan Lin and Huo Jing glanced at each other, and Huo Jing replied first: "Your Majesty, the ministers have caught the suspect, but I don't know if he is the real mastermind. ”

"I heard that the person you arrested is Guo Yi, the cousin of King Jie?"

The emperor raised his eyes slightly as he spoke, giving people an inexplicable majesty.

Huo Jing then replied: "Yes, the suspect arrested by the ministers is Guo Yi. Moreover, the ministers also took away a palace maid who was related to this case from Concubine Xian. ”

When the emperor heard this, he showed a meaningful expression, looked at him and Wan Lin and said, "How did you check the palace maid's head?" Could it be that Concubine Xian has anything to do with this case? ”

Wan Lin didn't let Huo Jing answer this difficult question, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that palace maid is the cousin of the killer who assassinated the minister's wife. It was the minister's lady who found the connection between them through the same medicinal smell on the killer and the palace maid. But the ministers didn't dare to say that Concubine Xian was also involved in this matter. ”

There was no joy or anger on the emperor's face, and he asked calmly, "Then what do you two think?" Do you think Concubine Xian might have been involved in this? ”

The emperor's question is more difficult to answer than the previous one.

Wan Lin continued: "Your Majesty, to tell the truth, the minister didn't dare to say that Concubine Xian had nothing to do with this case, but he didn't dare to say that she had anything to do with this case. The minister guessed that if Concubine Xian had nothing to do with this case, it was unlikely that Guo Yi alone would have planned these things. And...... And he doesn't have the ability to bring down the queen. Even if he threatens the minister's wife to bring down the queen, he can't do nothing. ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at the emperor, wanting to read the emperor's meaning from the emperor's eyes.

Huo Jing also peeked at the emperor, and the matter was waiting for the emperor's words.

The emperor looked at the two of them, but did not answer immediately, but stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the room.

Wan Lin frowned fiercely when he saw the emperor, but soon the emperor's brows relaxed, but there was obvious embarrassment on his face.

Neither Wan Lin nor Huo Jing dared to urge the emperor, and there was nothing they could do except wait patiently.

The emperor was silent for a cup of tea before speaking.

"It's not easy for the two of you to get this case to this extent, and I really didn't see the wrong person!"

The emperor came to Huo Jing as he spoke, and patted him on the shoulder with a look of relief, "Huo Jing, you are really a young talent, you can be fearless and well-organized to investigate such a case at such a young age, and your future is really limitless!" ”

After praising Huo Jing, the emperor said to Wan Lin again: "Wan Lin, I don't need to say much about your talent. Now that the Marquis of Zhenting has retired, I feel at ease when you are by my side. From tomorrow onwards, I will send additional soldiers to your palace to protect you and your family. ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, Wan Lin understood.

When Huo Jing was pondering what the emperor meant by this, the emperor had already returned to his seat and looked at the two of them, his expression was extremely kind.

"Now that the suspect has been caught, let's close the case as soon as possible. You've been tired these days, and when the case is closed, I'll be rewarded. ”

"Case closed?" Huo Jing looked puzzled, but soon he stopped wondering, and only unwillingness was left in his heart.

Wan Lin glanced at him and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is sorry for you." This case is nearing completion, and the ministers will definitely close the case as soon as possible. ”

Wan Lin's interest made the emperor very satisfied, and the emperor smiled at him and said, "I am waiting for your good news!" ”

When Wan Lin and Huo Jing were leaving, the emperor first rewarded the two of them with a ginseng for them to go back to replenish their bodies.

When he walked out of the palace, Huo Jing revealed his unwillingness.

"Lord Wan, is this case really going to end in Guo Yi? How earnestly Your Majesty hoped that we would get to the bottom of this case! How can you ...... today? This really doesn't look like His Majesty doing it. ”

Although Wan Lin thought of this possibility, after the emperor really did this, Wan Lin couldn't help but feel disappointed.

However, Wan Lin knew that the emperor was helpless in doing this, if they really found out that King Jie was the real mastermind behind the scenes, and he wanted to bring down the queen, then it was not only King Jie who was punished, but also Concubine Xian and the Guo family would be implicated.

The royal family has such a scandal of "killing mothers", how can the people of the world surrender? How to set an example for the people?

The emperor already knew the truth of the matter in his heart, and even if he wanted to punish King Jie, he would choose a more obscure method, or charge King Jie with other crimes.

Wan Lin figured out the emperor's thoughts very thoroughly, and after he told Huo Jing about the emperor's thoughts, Huo Jing sighed deeply.

"Alas—I thought I was really going to solve a big case that would bring a lot of shame on my father's face! I didn't expect this to be the result, it's really aggrieved! ”

Wan Lin was not aggrieved in his heart, but he had to succumb to such a reality.

Wan Lin said to Huo Jing with relief: "Shizi, after all, this case is different from ordinary cases, and you know best who is involved. Not long after the establishment of the reserve, the world was peaceful, and there have been foreign missions visiting recently. If such a thing to discredit the royal family broke out at this time, not only the royal family, but also the entire Dachen would be disgraced! ”

Huo Jing naturally understood these truths, but it would take some time to completely suppress this anger.

"Okay, Shizi, should we go drink some wine and relieve the bitterness in our hearts?"

Wan Lin asked with a smile.

Huo Jing also smiled helplessly, "Okay, let's use wine to eliminate our sorrows!" ”

When Wan Lin went home, he was full of alcohol, and when Fu Xiaojiu saw his lost appearance, he knew that he must be depressed.

"Did Your Majesty let you close the case as soon as possible?" Fu Xiaojiu guessed.

Wan Lin smiled bitterly and nodded, "The lady guessed right!" Your Majesty sympathizes with me and the hard work of the prince, look, Your Majesty also gave us one ginseng for each person, so that we can nourish our bodies! ”

Fu Xiaojiu put the ginseng aside, and couldn't help but feel a little blocked in his heart.

"Since Your Majesty said that the case is closed, let's close the case. Anyway, the suspects have been found, and it is easy to confess to everyone. ”

After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, he went to get a face towel and wiped Wan Lin's face.

Wan Lin was lying on the bed and looked at Fu Xiaojiu's busy figure in a daze, and suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

"Lady, I didn't let the people who really hurt us get punished by the law, I'm sorry for you!"

Fu Xiaojiu walked over with a face towel, wiped his face gently with his movements, and said, "You've done a good enough!" This result is actually something I have long predicted, and Xianggong does not need to feel guilty. Besides, didn't we find the suspect too? This matter is over, and His Majesty will take care of the rest. ”

"Lady ......"

Wan Lin grabbed Fu Xiaojiu's hand, and a tear slowly slipped from the corner of his eye.

Fu Xiaojiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for him distressedly, and really wanted to say to him: "Resign, let's go to business together and strive to become the richest man together!" ”

But Fu Xiaojiu kept this sentence in his heart.

She knew that Wan Lin's ambition was to be a good official with the world in mind.

Since Wan Lin became an official, he has not encountered any setbacks and unhappiness, and the unwillingness and depression brought to him by this case should be regarded as a tempering for him.

Think about it from another angle, this time Wanlin can find out the heads of King Jie and Concubine Xian, which can be described as the "peak", even if you are wronged this time, you will not lose.

Wan Lin fell asleep the moment he grabbed Fu Xiaojiu's hand last night, and he didn't know that he actually cried in front of Fu Xiaojiu.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't mention this matter in order to save his face, and he went to cook first when he came in the morning.

When the meal was almost ready, Fu Xiaojiu suddenly heard a movement outside the door, looked out through the crack in the door, and saw a group of soldiers coming to the door.

Fu Xiaojiu was surprised why they suddenly appeared at the door of his house, and a soldier who looked like a team leader had already buttoned the knocker.
