After the Dragon Boat Festival, Lord Yama seemed to feel that hell was in space, and frequently sent ghosts to the world to hook souls, first a childless and daughterless concubine in the palace was gone, and then the old ladies and old ladies of several mansions drove the crane west, and some old ministers also fell ill. Yan Hao was very worried, and hurriedly went to visit Mrs. Yan and others, and was relieved to see that they were in good health.

On this day, Zhang Weide took someone to King Lu's mansion, King Lu was not in the mansion at this time, Princess Lu was stunned, the sign has not been discovered, how could Dali Siqing bring someone over?

"Princess, excuse me." Zhang Weide saluted.

"Lord Zhang came over and I don't know why?" Princess Lu asked with a smile.

"The lower official found out that Bai Xia, the maidservant of the palace, went to Wuzhuang Guan to ask for a talisman last year, and asked the princess to let her come out, and the lower official wanted to take her back for questioning." Zhang Weide said with a straight face.

Amulet!

Of course, Princess Lu knew that she had found a talisman from the assassin, but she didn't expect that this talisman would have something to do with the maidservants in the mansion, but this is really good, "Come on, go and call Bai Xia." ”

After waiting for a while, Bai Xia came out, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. She timidly asked Princess Lu for peace, and Princess Lu said lightly: "This is Lord Zhang of Dali Temple." ”

"The slave has seen Master Zhang." The look of fear on Bai Xia's face added a little.

"Princess, the lower official has official business, take his leave." Zhang Weide got up and said.

"Your Excellency, you've worked hard." Princess Lu said politely.

When King Lu heard the news and rushed back to the palace, Zhang Weide had already taken Bai Xia away. King Lu angrily asked Princess Lu, "You just let him take people away?" ”

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhang is on an errand on His Majesty's orders, how dare the concubine stop him?" Princess Lu asked calmly.

"Then you can also delay it for a while and wait for the king to come back and deal with it." King Lu said angrily.

Princess Lu defended aggrievedly: "There is a difference between men and women, how can a concubine talk with Master Zhang for too long?" ”

"Y-Won't you let Changshi deal with him first?" King Lu was so angry that the green tendons on his neck protruded.

Princess Lu bowed her head and said nothing, anyway, Bai Xia has been taken away, and if King Lu wants to have the ability, he can go to Dali Temple to ask for someone by himself. When King Lu saw Princess Lu scolding him, he was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away. Princess Lu looked at his departing back, and a strange sneer flashed from her lips.

Concubine Kang learned that Princess Lu was scolded by King Lu, and gloated, "Stupid women can't even hold men." ”

"Miss, it's good that she can't hold the prince, when the prince gets tired of her and takes her off, she can straighten the young lady." Concubine Kang brought her confidant maid from her mother's house.

Concubine Kang was happy at first, and then her expression darkened, "If the prince is just a prince, then I can only be a side concubine." After Princess Lu died of illness, she didn't want to let King Lu correct her, but in the end, King Lu let her settle for the position of side concubine, but married another concubine.

"The princess has no children, and this palace is still the eldest prince in the end." The henchman maid comforted Concubine Kang and said.

Wang fu.

Concubine Kang's eyes flashed slightly, she is not rare, if King Lu succeeds in ascending the throne and becoming emperor, her son will be the Son of Heaven, and the world is his.

Here, Concubine Kang is still dreaming of her son becoming the emperor in the future, and she is the queen mother, and over there, King Lu is anxiously discussing countermeasures with his staff in the study, "That Bai Xia entered Dali Temple, and he will definitely be beaten into a trick, and then the prince will inevitably blame the assassination on the head of this king." ”

The staff said: "Lord, why don't you do something and strike first?" “

"The time has not come, the layout has not been completed, this matter will definitely fail." King Lu disagreed, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "The crown prince is now eyeing this king, if you want to continue to do things under his nose, you have to find something for him to do, and you can't let him be too idle." ”

"The prince is wise." The staff complimented.

Another old aide said: "Diverting the prince's attention is indeed the best policy. ”

"Although the prince has three sons, the most important thing is the eldest son Tang Luan, if something happens to Tang Luan, the blow to the prince must be the biggest." One of the staff.

"Then kill him." King Lu said coldly.

Several people discussed how to kill Tang Luan, Tang Luan had guards around him, and it was obviously not possible to use open knives and guns, so he could only use secret moves, and poisoning was the most feasible method.

Tang Luan, who was learning to deal with the twists and turns with the prince in the palace, had no idea that the shadow of death was approaching.

Although King Lu hated to poison Tang Luan immediately, it still took time to arrange it, and King Lu still couldn't avoid it At the small court meeting the next day, in the face of Zhang Weide's accusations, "Bai Xia asked for two talismans in Wuzhuangguan, one of which she carried with her, and the other she gave to her lover, a guard of the palace." Before leaving Beijing, this guard had told Bai Xia that he would return in two months at most, but this guard has not been seen so far. Wechen had reason to suspect that the assassin with the amulet was this guard. ”

The assassination of Qincha by the guards of the palace is directly related to King Lu, regardless of whether it is directly related to King Lu, and King Lu is guilty. The Holy One did not immediately ask the king of guilt, but ordered him to defend himself.

"Brother Huang, this is a one-sided statement, not enough to believe, and the maidservant who serves the mother of her brother in the inner courtyard has no access to the guards in the palace at all, she said that the lover is a guard, it is obvious that she is lying." Lu Wang Lang said.

"Big companion, show this confession and the test words to King Lu." The saint said indifferently. The Holy Lord supported King Lu in order to make him the whetstone of the crown prince, and now this whetstone has been used to its full extent and can be discarded.

The chamberlain stepped forward to test the confession and the confession in the hands of the saint, took it with both hands, and then handed it down the jade steps to King Lu.

King Lu looked at the confession, and then looked at the confession, his pupils shrank, and Bai Xia's confession contained a description of the details of the assassin's body, which was exactly the same as the one in the test; However, King Lu did not panic, and said calmly: "Brother Huang, how can a woman in the boudoir be so familiar with a man's body?" The younger brother has reason to suspect that this confession was caused by someone to guide Bai Xia to say so. In order to slander the younger brother, I also asked the royal brother to learn clearly. ”

The saint asked knowingly, "King Lu, Zhang Qing has neither old grudges nor new enmities with you, why does he want to slander you?" ”

"The younger brother doesn't know why Lord Zhang wants to slander the younger brother." King Lu pretended to be confused, he couldn't say that he wanted to compete with the crown prince, he wanted the prince to die, and the prince also wanted him to die, "I implore the imperial brother to be the master of his subordinates, and give his younger brother justice." ”

After saying that, King Lu knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

Shengshang smiled slightly, "Eighth brother, please get up, this case is full of suspicions, Zhang Qing must be cautious in investigating the case, and you must know that the evidence is not established." Since the saint didn't say that he didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with King Lu, he didn't make it clear that this matter was related to King Lu, and he also hinted that Zhang Weide would come up with a little more evidence.

King Lu heard the meaning of the saint, and secretly hated, but he couldn't say anything, and made up his mind to lay out as soon as possible, and then take action.

Zhang Weide was gladly taught, "The ministers will do their best to investigate this case and live up to His Majesty's trust." "It is not easy to bring down a prince, and the amulet is only the first step, in order to startle the snake. The snake moves, it's easy to catch.
