Yanxiang died very suddenly, and it was Wang Ning's father-in-law who did it.

Of course, the prince's action can only be the emperor's will. The keen-eyed person has already realized that what Yanxiang is going to say next must be something that the emperor doesn't want to hear, so let her shut up.

Those who are not sensitive feel that the emperor hates the cigarette and the framing of the prince and the princess Mingzhu, so he asked the prince to get rid of it in public.

As soon as Yanxiang died, it was not only Yan Rongling and Yan Shaoxun who were stunned, but also Gu Fanghua. Only Empress Dowager Zhong and Rong Ling knew that there were some things that the emperor did not allow, and it was exposed in public.

"This slave is full of lies, and I don't want to listen to her. Xiao Yao, without this Diao slave, can you find out who it is who gave saffron to the Qi nobles? ”

Xiao Yao arched his hand and said: "Go back to the emperor, then you will have to wait for Gonggong Lin and them to come back, and Weichen will know." ”

While speaking, Gonggong Lin and Gonggong Tang had already returned, and then there was a bamboo frame, and above the bamboo frame, under the white cloth was the dead Ru'er.

Seeing that Ru'er's corpse had already been carried over, Xiao Yao said: "Your Majesty, Song of the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department is a master of autopsy, and he can be passed on for examination." If it was her saffron, there must be traces to follow. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng nodded, and Song Zheng came.

Yan Shaoxun looked at all this, and the anger in his heart burned his internal organs. All of this is well arranged, Plan A is not successful, and there is also Plan B to spare, how can it be seen that it has become useless?

Song Zheng quickly went to the palace and inspected Ru'er's body in public.

Not only did she find that Ru'er's hands and feet were easy to be ordinary, but she also had many old injuries on her body. And she is disguised and put on makeup, not Ru'er herself at all, she must be an assassin.

The most important thing is that in Ru'er's sleeve pocket, traces of saffron incense pills were found.

And upon closer inspection, she also found the scent of saffron pills between her fingernails. It turned out that it was she who put saffron in Qi Guiren's soup, which caused Qi Guiren to miscarry.

Emperor Hong Zheng saw that the real murderer of the noble Qi and the child in his belly had been found out, so he didn't want to pursue it any further.

He announced, "Give me all this dirt, take it down." This Diao slave and Yanxiang are all the way, colluding to murder me and the prince. What they say is not to be believed. ”

"Yes, the emperor is discerning, long live, long live, long live!"

Soon, the courtiers in the palace got up and said that what Yanxiang said would not be taken seriously, and it was impossible for the prince to murder the dragon fetus.

Emperor Hong Zheng praised Song Zheng a few words, looked at Xiao Yao again, and said in appreciation: "Xiao Yao, it was your interrogation that made the smoke show its feet." What reward do you want? ”

Xiao Yao immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, and said: "Your Majesty, before the battle of Shanhaiguan, Weichen had been serving her mother, and she gave the heirloom of the Xiao family to the princess. During the Shanhaiguan War, Weichen fought side by side with his father and eldest brother. Before his father died, Weichen and Princess Mingzhu were in front of him, and his father also instructed Weichen to be with Princess Mingzhu. ”

Gu Fanghua looked at Xiao Yao in a daze, seeing that he mentioned the days when it was difficult to know life and death in the bloody battle, the sullenness in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Yao paused slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, now my grandmother and father and mother have their own opinions. Wechen didn't know how to practice filial piety, and Wechen had written to keep filial piety for his parents for three years, which was still an oath in Wechen's heart. Therefore, in order not to delay Miss Yuan, I begged the emperor to dissolve the so-called marriage contract between Weichen and Miss Yuan. ”

Yuan Yunwen finally calculated the marriage contract, how could it be over?

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have been waiting for Marquis Xiao for many years, and they have already made an oath that Xiao Yao will not marry. The marriage contract is made by the elders, and there are tokens, please ask the emperor to fulfill it! ”

Emperor Hong Zheng saw Yuan Yunwen pounce out, in public, without any shame, and a little disgusted.

"This man and woman are married, and the emphasis is on your love and my willingness, even if you have a marriage contract, you can withdraw from the marriage. In my opinion, since Xiao Yao doesn't know about it~"

Before Emperor Hong Zheng finished his sentence, Yuan Yunwen suddenly interrupted with a scream: "Your Majesty! If the marriage fails, the courtiers would rather die than be treacherous. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Yuan Yunwen, who dared to be bold and interrupt the emperor's words, and really felt that she had gone mad.

Looking at Emperor Hong Zheng, who looked very ugly, he relieved: "Emperor, let them solve these matters of children's affection by themselves." Since Yingyihou is very capable, he must be able to handle it properly. ”

"Well, that's fine. Someone, send Xiao Yao and Miss Yuan out of the palace, I don't want to see them now. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng was robbed by Yuan Yunwen and lost face, so he naturally wanted to let the two of them lose face. can't kill Yuan Yunwen to vent his anger, and this can only be the case.

Xiao Yao and Yuan Yunwen are equivalent to being kicked out of the Taiji Palace, and everyone has countless guesses in their hearts, secretly looking at Empress Dowager Zhong and Princess Mingzhu.

However, Empress Dowager Zhong and Princess Mingzhu did not see the slightest clue on their faces, and it seemed that Xiao Yao's coming and going had no effect on them. The one who was really angry was the Lord of Fuling.

When Empress Dowager Zhong's birthday banquet was hastily collected, several masters and civil and military officials all had their own plans in their hearts.

Yan Rongling was left in the imperial study by Emperor Hong Zheng. Yan Qihuo tonight, temporarily staying in the original Qingwu Palace, Yan Shaoxun and Yan Qihuo returned to the palace, they were silent all the way.

When he was about to arrive at Qingwu Palace, Yan Shaoxun sighed and said, "Ninth brother, I really envy you, you can go out of the palace and open a mansion." ”

Yan Qihuo smiled coldly: "Fifth brother, there are no fools in this palace. I'm just a half-circled county king, and no one will suspect that it's me. ”

After speaking, Yan Qihuo didn't care, whether Yan Shaoxun understood what he meant, turned around and entered Qingwu Palace.

Yan Shaoxun's face sank, and he walked back to Nanxun Palace quickly, and after sitting down, he asked Xiao Yuzi and them all to go down, and sat alone in the study.

Ru'er is not the real Ru'er, but a death row inmate of her age. Because she is a female thief, she has some doorways and kung fu.

This is the person who he spent a lot of effort to sneak into the palace and put him next to the Qi nobles.

Originally, he wanted to plan A, if he could trick Yan Rongling into letting Tong Ru'er go. Everything is ready in the attic, and when the water is ready, let Ru'er die.

When the time comes, Qi Guiren will attack again, that is, the prince ** Qi Guiren's personal maid, Qi Guiren was angry and slipped the dragon fetus.

Even if the saffron is found, someone will lead it to Yan Rongling and say that he did it.

That Yan Rongling plotted to kill the dragon fetus, ** palace maid, both crimes are in plain sight, Emperor Hong Zheng wants to protect Yan Rongling, but also to comply with the will of the hundred officials.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and Yan Shaoxun also prepared Plan B.

In case Yan Rongling is not fooled, Ru'er will stab him, the best can be killed, and if he can't be killed, he will die at Yan Rongling's hands, leaving him speechless.

When the time comes, Qi Guiren has a seizure, and Yan Rongling is blamed, and if there is no proof of his death, Yan Rongling will not be able to clear his name.
