Chapter 20: The Giving of Death (1st Watch)
Chu Chen smiled happily at Jiang Yunyi's favor, and entered the palace with the evidence he had found, vomiting blood.
He blinked his eyes, thinking that Concubine Cheng entered the palace relatively late, so now the charm still exists, no wonder she can't stand the loneliness after the emperor went, this stealing monk is just that, and even stole a stupid one, and it was also served.
He thought about it in a mess, and suddenly felt less depressed, but very cola, His Majesty has always respected Concubine Cheng, I don't know how ugly his face would be if he knew.
Anyway, His Majesty asked him to investigate, and now that such a dirty matter has been found, His Majesty has to bear it.
Concubine Cheng stopped the sedan chair and greeted her gently and lovingly, "The mourning family heard that the little prince was ordered to investigate the case, but it went well?" ”
Chu Chen immediately changed his sad face and bowed his hand, "Back to the concubine, this investigation is not as easy as I thought, and I followed the adults of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to increase my knowledge, but even so, I was tired to death, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I didn't find out a big progress." I'm going to go to Uncle Huang, and I'm not going to do this. ”
He really hasn't slept all night, from yesterday to now, he looks sloppy and tired, and the former glamorous, gorgeous, neat and clean boy and brother style has long disappeared, which shows that he is tired.
Concubine Cheng knew that whenever she encountered a big case, the Criminal Department and the people of Dali Temple joined forces and did not sleep for several days and nights. He immediately believed Chu Chen's words, thinking that Chu Chen had been under the protection of Prince Shan since he was a child, not to mention such a big matter as investigating the case, that is, eating, drinking, and wearing clothes, he had to use people to serve him, where are the people who have suffered hardship?
She had a score in her heart, and said with a smile, "Investigating cases is hard, especially big cases, you are the little prince, you will attack the lord in the future, what are you doing such a hard errand?" Let the adults of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple be tired. ”
"Well, the concubine is right!" Chu Chen nodded very approvingly, "Don't I think it's funny?" The matter implicated An Huajin's little girl, and I wanted to intervene. ”
At the mention of An Huajin, Concubine Cheng's face suddenly turned bad, he looked at Chu Chen, remembered that the two of them pulled and pulled yesterday, and he couldn't understand it, so he asked tentatively, "The little prince has a good relationship with Lord An Xiaojun?" ”
"Not good." Chu Chen lost his face and said decisively, "She is not a thing at all, she will only bully me." ”
But isn't it, she is devoted to Gu Qingyan, even if he is good to her, she retreats as if she can't see it, and warns him from time to time not to think about her, his mind is up, do you want him to take it back? Is it that easy?
They're unmarried, and they're engaged, so it's amazing!
Well, it's remarkable. At least he didn't have a marriage contract.
Concubine Cheng saw Chu Chen's depressed and angry face, and changed her views on what she saw yesterday, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, she said earnestly, "Little prince, your surname is Chu, no matter how domineering the little county lord An is, she is also surnamed An, this is the capital, not the Nanyang Palace, why can't you worry about taking care of her?" Know how to use strategy. ”
"I don't understand it very well, or you don't want to teach me." Chu Chen took a step forward and put on a posture of listening to his ears.
"Now is not the place to talk, wait for the mourning family to go to the old house of Anjia, and after seeing An Huajin, let's talk about it together on a later day." Concubine Cheng said very schemingly.
Chu Chen thought to himself that if you didn't say it today, you would probably not have a chance to tell me, so he said impatiently, "Concubine, you eat more salt than I walk, so tell me a little way." I want to clean up that little girl right now. ”
After all, Concubine Cheng is from here, and she looked at Chu Chenle, "Do you have any thoughts about her?" ”
Chu Chen immediately vetoed, "Impossible!" I just wanted to clean her up. ”
Concubine Cheng smiled, with a look of see-through, "You, haven't you seen anything from the mourning family?" If you really hate her, you can't do it, when you meet, you can't wait to cut her with a big knife, only annoyed, no hate, and still want to clean up people, this is a thought. ”
Chu Chen's face suddenly turned red and white, and he said fearfully, "No...... No way? Don't be kidding, Toh. ”
"The mourning family is not joking with your junior." Concubine Cheng said shrewdly, "This is easy to do, you first coax her to like you, let her quit Gu Qigongzi's family affairs, and then you abandon her again, torture her, and when she wants to die or live for you, you can clean her up at will, won't she let you frustrate and pinch the round." ”
Chu Chen was dumbfounded, "This ...... An Huajin is not a person who wants to die or live. ”
"Women, how many are there who are not trapped by love? Don't look at that little girl jumping so hard now, no one looks at it. Once she is trapped by love, she is tied to a stake, and she has to endure it no matter how hard you try. ”
Chu Chen: "......"
He looked at Concubine Cheng with admiration, sweat broke out on his forehead, "Concubine, you are so amazing!" ”
Seeing that he had been taught and listened, Concubine Cheng seemed to have a bad breath in her heart, and said in a charitable tone, "Okay, the mourning family has already shown you the way, you should let the mourning family go, right?" ”
Chu Chen stood still, blocking the way, "You said you want to go to Anjia's old mansion?" Is it to find her? Why should you condescend? Just send someone to announce her into the palace. Can she still give you face? ”
"The mourning family sent someone to invite, she will naturally enter the palace, but she will not bring a cook into the palace." Concubine Cheng said, "The mourning family will go to her today to ask for the cook." ”
Chu Chen understood, "It turns out that you don't have a heavy appetite, and you also like that cook!" ”
"The mourning family is old, and the appetite is small, and I can't see the little girl bullying people." Concubine Cheng has never been angry with anyone for so many years, An Huajin is the first, she can't swallow this breath.
Chu Chen got out of the way, "Then you can go quickly!" He also instructed, "You bring more people, that little girl is not stingy, don't make trouble and hurt you." ”
Concubine Cheng looked disappreroving, "How dare she take this palace!" It's the other way around. ”
Chu Chen watched Concubine Cheng out of the palace, thinking that His Majesty would go to the old mansion of the An family to get people, and take down Concubine Cheng in the old mansion of the An family, who would dare to provoke that little girl in the world in the future, three years ago in Beijing first beat him, and now two days after entering Beijing, Concubine Cheng found fault and had an accident with her, and everyone in Beijing saw her in the future, wouldn't they all have to take a detour?
He walked quickly towards the south study.
The emperor heard that Concubine Cheng went out of the palace to the old house of Anjia, but he didn't care much, thinking about not letting Concubine Cheng make trouble, she was afraid that she would be sick, the Queen Mother went early, and now the emperor's people are in the palace to recuperate in their old age, and he doesn't want Concubine Cheng to go early.
Chu Chen came to the south study with a look of indescribable emotion, and after seeing the emperor, he stopped talking again and again, but he didn't hold back his words.
This was not the same as what he usually looked like when he saw him, and the emperor's intuition was not good.
"Say! Find out what is difficult to do? "After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he is the best at observing words and feelings.
Chu Chen nodded, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Uncle Huang, I may have really found out a fatal matter, don't blame me, let's say it first, I told you, can you anger me and punish me." ”
The Emperor frowned, "Okay, I promise you. ”
Chu Chen immediately stood up and presented the evidence to the emperor.
Because Gu Qingyan promised to protect the ten-year-old innocent child, he erased all traces of the child one step ahead. also transferred him to another place, so what Chu Chen found out later was naturally just evidence of Concubine Cheng's affair with Fang Yuan.
After the emperor saw it, his face was red orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple for a moment, his hands trembled, and his body trembled with anger.
Even if he is the concubine of the former emperor and the concubine in the palace, as a woman of the royal family, such a scandal is no different from his own woman cheating.
The emperor didn't speak for a long time.
Chu Chen secretly looked at the emperor's face, admiring it in his heart, thinking that it was not easy for the emperor's uncle. How much he respects Concubine Cheng is well known to the court, and it is precisely because of this that Concubine Cheng's audacity has been created.
In his opinion, the monk was stupid to death, and he was still called a high monk, which was less than one-tenth of the shrewdness of Concubine Cheng. Concubine Cheng has a bad eye.
After a long time, the emperor slammed, "Presumptuous!" ”
Chu Chen immediately lowered his head, not daring to peek.
The emperor stood up angrily, walked back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back eight laps, his face was still ugly, and he couldn't calm down for a while, "Zhang De, where is Concubine Cheng?" ”
Zhang De immediately bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, not long ago, the concubine left the palace to settle down in the old house." ”
The emperor clenched his fists with both hands, "Give her to me ......" He thought about the scandal of the royal family, and kept quiet, suppressing his anger, "Xuan He Lanlai." ”
He Lan was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he came after a short time.
The emperor said angrily, "You took someone to the old mansion of the An family, gave Concubine Cheng a cup of poisonous wine, and announced to the public that someone broke into the old mansion of the An family and murdered the little county lord An, and the concubine blocked the disaster for the little county lord." ”
He Lan was taken aback and took the order, "Yes!" ”
