After the poisoned tea case, the grain robbery case was involved, and now there is the poisoned wine case, and for a time the dark clouds in Beijing were covered.

Because of the death of Concubine Cheng, the palace hung white sails, built a mourning shed, His Majesty fell ill, mourned for the concubine, and rested for three days. Your Majesty has an order, and the children of the royal family take turns to guard the spirit of the concubine. The relatives of officials above the fourth rank in the DPRK and China can enter and leave the palace to mourn.

Although the capital is depressing, it is also very rare to be lively.

Although An Huajin is not the heir of the royal family, in the end, it is Concubine Cheng who died for her to prevent disasters, and she can't help but express her condolences and do this drama for His Majesty.

So, after she fell ill for a day after being frightened too much, she dragged her sick body, showed her pale little face, and wore a snow-white plain dress, and on this night, she also entered the palace to go to the vigil for the concubine.

Coincidentally, the people who kept the spirit on this day were Chu Chen and Chu Siyan.

The status of Prince Shan's Mansion is high, after the princes and princesses, the first day is the wake of the princes and princesses, and on the second day, it is the turn of the brothers and sisters of Prince Shan's Mansion.

Chu Siyan didn't know anything, she just felt that Concubine Cheng died in the An family's old house, which was really terrifying, it can be seen that An Huajin is a bad star, whoever contaminates her will suffer. No, did Concubine Cheng lose her life?

When she saw An Huajin, she immediately hid behind Chu Chen, poked her head out, and asked for fear, "You...... What are you here to do? ”

An Huajin glanced at her and said listlessly, "Come and keep a wake for the concubine." ”

Chu Siyan: "...... You don't need to keep a vigil here. ”

An Huajin looked at her, "You drove me?" ”

Chu Siyan: "......"

No, she didn't dare!

She tugged on Chu Chen's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, you let her go." ”

Chu Chen glanced at his unpromising sister, and knew that the persimmon who bullied the soft and gentle, and when she met An Huajin, she became an egg that touched a stone. He waved his hand, "Go back!" I'm guarding it myself. ”

"This ...... Is it done? Uncle Huang has a life...... "Chu Siyan wants to leave, there are red lacquered coffins in this mourning hall, candles, braziers, burning paper, and the wind blows, it seems that she has seen the dark fire, she is already small, but she can't stand this scene. If it weren't for his brother's presence, she would have fainted.

What's more, she was not well scared by An Huajin that day, and now she still has palpitations, and her legs are weak when she walks.

"It can be done! Uncle Huang is generous, and he can also understand that you are still sick after being frightened. Chu Chen instructed, "Come and send the little county lord back." ”

The person who was waiting in the Good Prince's Mansion immediately stepped forward, "Little county lord, let's go." ”

Chu Siyan didn't say a word, and immediately nodded, since her brother said that it was okay to leave, then it was okay, so she left immediately.

Passing by An Huajin's side, her legs were still weak, but she still said, "You...... Don't bully my brother. ”

An Huajin: "......"

She snorted lightly, "This is in front of the Concubine Mourning Hall, who do you know how to be like you." ”

Chu Siyan was relieved, yes, in front of the concubine's mourning hall, even if An Huajin wanted to bully and beat her brother, she didn't dare.

The white cloth of the mourning hall danced in the wind, the unburned paper flame flickered big and small, the coffin was very good, and the specifications were very sufficient, but An Huajin knew that the person lying here must not be Concubine Cheng.

She stepped forward and threw a stack of burning paper into the brazier in front of the coffin, "The concubine is good to go!" ”

There was too much powder on her face, and in the firelight, she looked even more miserable, very weak, and very mad.

Chu Chen watched from the sidelines, and shivered excitedly, he knew better than anyone how this secret was buried, but even if he was clear, seeing An Huajin's appearance, he had to sigh in his heart, this little girl can pretend to be better than His Majesty.

How can she pretend like that?

Whoever sees this look, even if he doubts it, I'm afraid he can't doubt it!

When she burned the paper, he leaned in to her and whispered, "Hey, are you alright?" ”

Anyway, the corpses carried out from the An family's old mansion are facts, was she shocked by His Majesty's thunderous movements? Is there an element of being overly frightened in this way now?

An Huajin glanced at him, "Stay away from me." ”

Yes, this one has no conscience, Bai is worried about her, but she is not shocked at all.

Chu Chen was slandered in his heart, but he still avoided it a little, after all, this is the palace, and countless pairs of eyes are watching.

An Huajin took out the appearance of a guardian and stood in front of the mourning hall, motionless, with a slender body and bones, standing like a soldier. ”

Chu Chen looked at her and unconsciously straightened his waist.

After a while, he couldn't help it anymore, lowered his voice and said, "What about Gu Qingyan?" I thought he would come with you. ”

"What is he here for?" An Huajin's tone was calm, "The concubine didn't prevent the disaster for him. ”

Also...... Right!

Chu Chen stared at her natural appearance, thinking that although what she said was right, it was not right, she wouldn't be reluctant to let Gu Qingyan come to suffer with her, right?

This thought couldn't be suppressed, and he lowered his voice again and said, "You are his fiancée, shouldn't he accompany you?" ”

An Huajin didn't raise his eyelids, "You also said that you are a fiancée, and you are not a real wife, what do you want to accompany you?" ”

Chu Chen: "......"

This sounds inexplicably comforting.

He didn't think much about it, and whispered, "Little girl, it's a long night, let's chat, right?" ”

"What are you talking about?" An Huajin didn't lose face this time, after all, she also wanted to talk, especially if she wanted to know the tricks that were locked up in the prison? Chu Chen followed the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to try the case for a day yesterday.

Chu Chen's eyes rolled, Fenghua Xueyue naturally couldn't talk in front of a dead man's coffin, it was not appropriate, he could only talk about what An Huajin was interested in, "What about the chef of Jokhang Temple?" Are you still settling down in your old house? Do you cook with him? ”

An Huajin was not interested in this and did not speak.

Chu Chen understood, this was not right, and immediately changed the topic, "Yesterday, I led people with Jiang Yunyi to arrest Fang Yuan, this monk was stupid to death, he fled in the middle of the night, he landslided, fell down the mountain and fell unconscious. The abbot of the Jokhang Temple said that he didn't know that there was a secret passage in the dark room where he was retreating, hmph, I didn't bother to grasp the trial one by one, and the abbot, elders, and deacons were all arrested and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

An Huajin was speechless for a moment, "Well done." ”

It's not that the monk is stupid, it's that he doesn't know that Gu Qingyan's people are fast, so he deliberately let him pick up a ready-made one.

"That forgetful shuttle didn't say whether he was dead or alive, but when he saw Fang Yuan and the monks of Jokhang Temple, he finally couldn't stand it." When Chu Chen saw her answer, he was obviously interested in this, but he was not stingy and talked to her confidentially. Anyway, there is nothing to say about this matter, and the case will be announced sooner or later.

"What did you recruit?" An Huajin wants to know this.

He first said that he was instructed by Fang Yuan, and then Fang Yuan woke up and scolded him, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but he changed his words again, saying that he was instructed by Concubine Cheng. Gibberish. In the end, he was tortured, and he recruited useful people. said his identity, he was the grandson of the military department Shangshu eighteen years ago. ”

An Huajin nodded.

In the case of grain robbery that year, in addition to the people who escorted the grain and grass were killed, it also implicated the military department to the unfavorable escort of military salaries, the military department Shangshu was pushed to the noon gate and beheaded, and the rest of the military department officials were executed and dismissed, and the end was not good, and the men in the military department's family were exiled for 3,000 miles, and the female dependents were confiscated into the court.

It is said that during the exile, he contracted the plague, and all the men of the Shangshu family in the military department died. Unexpectedly, there are still alive.

"When he was exiled, His Majesty had a clear decree that during his lifetime, the male of the military department would never come out of the bitter cold land. It is precisely because of this that although he stayed in the capital, he could only hide in the Jokhang Temple, and did not dare to reveal his identity, but somehow, his identity was still known, so he was threatened and asked to do something. ”

"Who threatened him?"

"He said a person's name, a staff member of the Third Prince, named Xu Cheng." Chu Chen said.

An Huajin narrowed his eyes, "You've already arrested that staff member?"

"When we went, the staff member was not at home, nor was he in the Three Princes' Mansion, he was missing. But even so, the third prince was frightened, and entered the palace to cry to His Majesty, saying that he did not instruct anyone to do this, and that the staff member is now missing, and he does not know what is going on. Please Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly, he has been wronged. ”

"What does Your Majesty say?" An Huajin smiled.

"Your Majesty asked the Three Princes to return to the Mansion and ordered the Three Princes' Mansion to be sealed, and no one was allowed to see the Three Princes, and no one in the Three Princes' Mansion was allowed to go out, waiting for his suspicion to be investigated. At the same time, he ordered to trace Xu Cheng's traces. ”

An Huajin nodded.

It is not surprising that Xu Cheng is missing, since Gu Qingyan took the first step and asked Fang Yuan for Xu Cheng's name from his mouth, he would not allow anyone to take the lead. wanted to be tried, and he secretly tried the reason first, and then released the person.

Therefore, there is no doubt that this person should be in Gu Qingyan's hands at the moment.

"What about Fang Yuan? What did you confess? ”

Fang Yuan explained a lot. He was happy, probably knowing that the general trend was gone, so in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, everything that should be said was said. Chu Chen paused, "I presented his confession to His Majesty first, and after His Majesty looked at it, he gave it to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for record. The most useful thing is that he explained his identity back then, and behind the scenes of the grain robbery case, there are still a little doubts. When His Majesty saw it, he was also furious. This time I was really sick. ”

An Huajin understood, it was nothing more than Fang Yuan's suspicion about Zhang Zaifu, and His Majesty must have remembered this old current incident. It is a loss to him to value Zhang Zaifu, appoint important positions, high-ranking officials, and also value the second prince, and now he must be vomiting blood in his heart.

Even if there is no conclusive evidence, once the seeds of the emperor's suspicion are planted, it will be dangerous.
