On the same day, the news of the shipwreck reached the Twelve Princesses' Mansion, and Qi Zihuan, who was wiping the celadon vase, accidentally broke his favorite vase.

Broken porcelain tiles were spread all over the floor, sharp porcelain tiles pierced into the embroidered uppers, and red blood soaked out, but she unconsciously took two steps forward as if she didn't feel pain.

"What do you say? Say it again! ”

Chun Cai knelt on the ground, endured trembling and repeated: "Princess, there are officials entering Beijing today...... I heard that the ship that was heading south for Xunyu sank. ”

The ship sank?

How is that possible!

There has never been a problem with the ships built by the royal family, so many years have passed, how can it be the turn of the prince's brother to have an accident?

Qi Zihuan took a deep breath: "Is the news true?" ”

"It should be true, the news of the shipwreck spread too quickly, and now many people know about it."

The bottom of my heart is terrible.

Qi Zihuan grimaced, kicked the broken porcelain piece at his feet expressionlessly, and said, "Go and prepare for the car, this palace will enter the palace to see my father immediately." ”

Hearing this, seeing that the situation seemed to be a little wrong, Chun Cai hurriedly persuaded: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty is only afraid that you are not in the mood to see you at this time, so you should enter the palace another day." ”

"Can't you understand what Hongu is saying?" Qi Zihuan's patience was exhausted, and he said sharply: "This palace will prepare if you want to prepare, dare not listen to this palace's words, do you want to be with Fu Xia?" ”

Hearing this, Chuncai's complexion changed slightly, and he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly went down to prepare for driving.

Qi Zihuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

She took two steps forward, and before she could get out, she heard the familiar sound of a wheelchair outside.

Not long after, Qi Zihuan happened to run into Jiang You, who was getting started.

However, she walked out without squinting, as if she didn't see anyone.

Jiang You's face sank, and he stretched out his hand to block her way: "Where are you going?" ”

"Enter the palace." Qi Zihuan went to break his hand, but when he saw that he couldn't move, he reprimanded impatiently: "Don't stop me!" What are you stopping me for?! ”

Jiang You's forehead was bruised, and he said angrily: "I can't watch you go to death." ”

Qi Zihuan threw away his hand and sneered: "It seems that you know what I want to do in the palace." ”

"Yes, I know." Jiang You pursed his lips: "That's why I can't let you go." ”

"Are you crazy?" Qi Zihuan asked: "Do you know, the shipwreck is very likely not an accident, I want to enter the palace and tell my father, I want my father to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”

"Do you have proof?" Jiang You pursed his lips and said, "For everything you suspect, you have no evidence, who can you go to?" ”

"Believe it or not, once the news of your entry into the palace and your nonsense spreads, your situation will become very dangerous!"

"Huh." Qi Zihuan said coldly: "It seems that you also know that this matter must have nothing to do with your father, so you said this, too, even your own son can be framed, Master Taishi just taught my prince brother a few years, how can he not do it?" ”

"Twelve, I don't want to quarrel with you, and I don't mean to take sides, but the stakes are high, and you can't be too arbitrary, I admit it...... Father is indeed inscrutable at times, but ......"

"No, but." Qi Zihuan's voice became colder and colder: "The reason why the Taishi did this is very sufficient, after all, with the prestige of my prince brother in the court and the people, if she doesn't have an 'accident', who can usurp her position in the East Palace?" ”

Jiang You didn't choose to say: "According to what you say, Lian Ji Niangniang must also be one of the accomplices, how are you doing?" ”

"Whoever does something wrong has to pay a price." After saying this, Qi Zihuan glanced at Jiang You who was blocking the way in front of him expressionlessly, and said, "If you still have a little conscience, don't stop me." ”

Seeing that she was about to step out of the door, Jiang You said, "Wait." ”

Qi Zihuan suddenly looked back at him and scolded sharply: "Do you really want to protect him?!" Do you know that Taishi's move is shaking the foundation of the country? It will stink for thousands of years! ”

"I know." Jiang You said tiredly: "So, I won't stop you." ”

"And what do you mean now?"

"I have to find out the truth of the matter first, if this matter really has something to do with my father, I will never say half a word for her."

"But you can't go now, you don't have any evidence that my father or your mother had anything to do with the shipwreck, and if you get into trouble with your father, he can punish you for the crime of framing the court officials, and no one will believe you."

Words without evidence can be counted as slander.

Even if Twelve is a royal princess, once it involves a first-class minister, it will never take advantage.

"And what do you think I can do?"

Qi Zihuan took a deep breath and quietly waited for his next words: "And then?" ”

"You wait for me." Jiang You said this very difficult, as if squeezed out from between his teeth: "If you want to sue, no one is more suitable than me." ”

"I'm his son, and it's easier to believe my words."

Qi Zihuan paused: "Did you do it?" ”

"I can."

After thinking about it for a long time and calculating his chances, Qi Zihuan was finally willing to take a step back: "Okay, I believe you can, but my patience is limited, at most in five days, I will definitely enter the palace." ”

On the fifth day, it happened to be the time limit set by Emperor Jin An to investigate the cause of the shipwreck.

Under the shroud of various doubts, time flies quickly.

Five days later, March 18.

The cause of the wreck has finally been investigated.

When he learned that all this was because the old wood used in the construction of the cruise ship from previous years was used, Emperor Jin An was furious: "The cruise ship was built by the Ministry of Industry, but now because of your neglect, the ship board cracked and sank, what should you be guilty of?!" ”

Hearing the question of the superior, the Ministry of Works' Shangshu Luomu knelt on the ground sweating profusely and pleaded guilty: "The minister deserves to die, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Condemnation?

It was not easy for him to cultivate a prince of the East Palace who had both ability and political integrity, and Wen Taowu was strategic, how could he pass it with a sentence of condemnation?

Emperor Jin An's face was calm, and the depressed color between his eyebrows became more and more obvious.

Seeing this, Jiang Bowen seemed to inadvertently look at Luo Mu, who was kneeling in the center of the main hall.

The eyes of the two converged in midair.

However, after just a blink of an eye, the two looked away in unison.

No one perceives the undercurrent flowing between them, nor does he know their calculations.

The time moved to the day before and night.

Jiang Bowen visited Luofu at night.

Luo Mu knelt behind his desk, staring at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since they've been together face-to-face like this.

Jiang Bowen took off his black velvet hat and quietly looked at Luo Mu.

Faced with such an uninvited late-night visitor, Luo Mu was not half surprised, as if he had known that there would be such a show.

Even when Jiang Bowen came, the tea he brewed with his own hands just began to steam, as if it was specially designed to entertain guests.

Luo Mu pointed to the futon opposite, and said softly, "My lord, please take a seat." ”

"Nope." Jiang Bowen refused: "I came to you for business." ”

Luo Mu knelt on the ground and had a deferential and humble attitude: "Your Excellency, please speak." ”

Facing Jiang Bowen, regardless of the reason, there was a sense of blind obedience in his heart.

Because they come from the same place, owe allegiance to the same master, and share the same faith.

"Tomorrow, no matter what happens, you just have to confess."

Luo Mu was not surprised: "My lord wants to put the responsibility of the shipwreck on the lower officials?" ”

"You should know that this is the best option."

Disguising everything as an accident is more conducive to their plans.

In this way, no one can find fault with them.

"It is an honor for the lower officials to be able to cover the adults and retreat." Luo Mu said respectfully: "Xiaguan has only one wish, I hope that after the matter is completed, the adults can bring the Xiaguan family back to Liangguo, if possible, Xiaguan hopes that he can return to his homeland." ”

"Yes."

When the words fell, the person in front of him had already pushed the door and left.

As quietly as he came, he didn't alarm anyone when he left.

There was a 'bang' sound, until the tea cup was burned and cracked, and the room was already empty.

In the main hall, Luo Mu was full of comfort.

When he first came to the Jin Kingdom, he never thought that he would be able to go back with all his beards and tails.

However, it is worth it to be able to achieve great success with the current switch.

He was always ready to make meritorious contributions, and he was also ready to sacrifice.

harmed the prince of a country, just when everyone thought that Luo Mu was in a catastrophe, a person suddenly broke into the hall and replied in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Works, in fact, there is another hidden secret!"

Hearing this, whether it was Emperor Jin An, who was sitting on the dragon chair, or the civil and military officials who were trembling, they all looked towards the source of the sound for a while.

After seeing who it was, several of them looked at Lord Han in unison.

The latter lowered his eyes, as if he didn't know anything.

"No noise is forbidden in the Jinluan Palace!" Yuan Yi shouted, then looked in the direction of the palace gate, and after seeing the appearance of the man, he was surprised: "Master Han? ”

That's right, the person who came was Han Zhengting.

Han Zhengting strode to the hall, knelt on the ground first, and apologized to the person at the top: "Your Majesty, Weichen did not intend to trespass into the hall, but just did it in a hurry, and asked Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

"I forgive you for your innocence." Emperor Jin An raised his hand, and said without anger after supporting him: "Han Qing said that there is another secret in the matter of the shipwreck, I don't know what the secret is?" ”

Han Zhengting didn't dare to get up, and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, just a few days ago, Mrs. Yang served Yang." The emperor ordered to go to Yanhe to settle people's hearts, and in order to find out the truth about the shipwreck, he worked tirelessly for several days, making the cruise ship piece together. ”

"In the end, a hole about 18 feet wide was found in the bilge of the pleasure boat, and according to Taifu's guess, it was precisely because of the hole here that the river could not stop entering the pleasure boat, and eventually increasing the weight of the hull, which would cause the shipwreck, and there was no remedy after the people on board found it."

Otherwise, there would be hundreds of people on board, and it would be impossible for no one to notice the anomaly in the hull.

The only way to do this is that anomalies are piled up.

Emperor Jin An narrowed his eyes, and his voice was like ice ballast: "Is this incident an accident or man-made?" ”
