The news of the death of the crown prince soon spread everywhere. Except for Xiao Zimao, who was imprisoned in Jiangzhou, the remaining seventeen princes returned to Beijing from all over the country to mourn.

In the prison, He Jingying curled up in the corner, trying to let the sun shine on herself. She was so hungry that she picked up a piece of hay from the ground and put it in her mouth to chew.

"Princess, princess!"

He Jingying raised her head and saw that the person who called her was Yan Xiaodao.

Yan Xiaodao looked anxious, and when he saw He Jingyi's low spirits, he asked, "Princess, are you okay?" I just heard that something happened in prison, how are you? ”

He Jingying barely pulled out a smile: "Isn't this still alive." ”

Yan Xiaodao took out a cake from his arms: "Princess, I didn't buy anything good, just this one cake." You will eat. ”

It's the yellowed oiled paper again. A hot cake, still steaming, like the roast chicken.

Xiao Zixiang's foaming appearance clearly appeared in front of He Jingying's eyes. He Jingying turned her head and looked out the window silently, without saying a word.

Yan Xiaodao paused with his hand holding the cake: "What's wrong with the princess?" It's still hot. Don't be disgusted. It's late, and I've run two streets to get this. ”

He Jingying didn't look at Yan Xiaodao: "You take it, I won't eat it." ”

Yan Xiaodao looked at the cake in his hand again, and suddenly understood. Yan Xiaodao looked at He Jingying embarrassedly: "Princess, do you not believe me?" ”

He Jingying did not speak.

Yan Xiaodao wrapped the cake sneeringly, put it in front of the prison door, and said, "Princess, I really bought this two streets." It was bought by the pockmarked woman at the corner of Yashi Street. Other houses have already closed their stalls, but she still sells some wonton stew at night, and it is still open. Princess, you ...... If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. I put it on. ”

After that, Yan Xiaodao left a little lonely, as if he had lost a very cherished friend.

When all the seventeen princes arrived at the prince's mansion, Xiao Lian had already knelt in front of the spirit for five days. Kneeling behind Xiao Lian were the second brother Xiao Zhaowen, the third brother Xiao Zhaoxiu, and the fourth brother Xiao Zhaocan, who had just turned seven.

Xiao Zhaowen heard the bad news, and hurried from Yingzhou the next day; Xiao Zhaoxiu was far away in Jingzhou, and he only arrived yesterday; It was Xiao Zhaocan, although Gushu was not far from the capital, but because the place of study was in the mountains, the news was sent late, and he only rushed back to the prince's mansion now.

On the way back from Gushu, Xiao Zhaocang heard a lot of rumors and was convinced that He Jingying was the murderer of the prince. As soon as he arrived in the mourning hall, he took the lead in setting fire on Xiao Lian: "Big brother, how are you going to deal with the murderer of your father, Dali Temple?" ”

Xiao Lian frowned and glanced back at Xiao Zhaocang. Although this little brother is mature when he speaks, he has only just turned seven years old, and if he is placed in modern times, he is a little kid who has just entered the second grade of elementary school. Xiao Lian didn't want to meet him in general: "Dali Temple has not been found out. ”

Xiao Zhaocang didn't relent: "Is it big brother, you don't want to find out, or can't you find out?" ”

"Your sister-in-law has been wronged."

Xiao Zhaocang said angrily: "When I came back, I heard that so many people up and down the prince's mansion can testify that my sister-in-law wanted to do misdeeds in my father's academy that day!" If you say that your sister-in-law was wronged, then what about the real murderer? What did you find again? How do you comfort your father's spirit in heaven? ”

Although Xiao Zhaocang is not tall, he is standing, and Xiao Lian is kneeling, which is actually a condescending posture. Xiao Lian really wanted to slap this stinky boy on the head, a little kid who didn't have any hair, and he didn't understand any politeness when he spoke. But Xiao Lian knelt solidly for five days, and when he wanted to get up, he found that his legs were numb. Xiao Lian was about to reprimand him back, but he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "This king has found out the real culprit, and he will give his father an explanation in a few days." ”

Although the voice of this word was not loud, it was like a thunderbolt falling in the mourning hall. Everyone looked at Xiao Lian for a moment. Even Xiao Zhaowen and Xiao Zhaoxiu came over: "Big brother, what you said is true?" ”

Xiao Lian didn't answer, with a cold face, and there was no emotion. Although he was in the position once, his look made people believe that he had indeed found evidence.

Xiao Ziqing, King of Luling, Xiao Zijing, King of Anlu, and Xiao Zizhen, King of Jian'an, had just entered the mourning hall when they heard Xiao Lian's words. Xiao Zijing and Xiao Zizhen just changed their complexions. Xiao Ziqing started a fire: "Where is the murderer?" Lao Tzu wants him to know what life is better than death! ”

Xiao Ziqing's princess Xi Yan frowned slightly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "How can you make a noise in front of the prince's spirit?" ”

"I ......" Xiao Ziqing, who has always been arrogant and domineering, was reprimanded by Xi Yan like this, and his arrogance suddenly became smaller. Hey......" Xiao Ziqing slapped her thigh, her face was full of helplessness, as if she had a thousand words blocked in her heart, and she didn't know how to vent. Xiao Ziqing knelt in front of the prince's spirit with a "bang", and knocked his head three times with a bang, and there was a black blue on his forehead for a moment, and blood was faintly oozing.

Most of the people in this mourning hall know that Xiao Ziqing once sued the prince for raising auspicious white deer in Dongtian Xiaoyuan. It was precisely because of this incident that the prince was punished that he fell ill. Therefore, Xiao Ziqing's actions were strange to everyone. There are many people who have had festivals with Xiao Ziqing, and those who are not used to seeing Xiao Ziqing as a person, and they can't help but laugh.

Xiao Ziqing frowned, scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, looked remorseful and annoyed, and finally said after a long hesitation: "Big brother, if Xiao Yunying harms you, Lao Tzu will never let him go!" ”

Xiao Zizhen couldn't help but say: "Third brother, you said that this matter was done by the second brother, do you have any evidence?" ”

Xiao Ziqing said angrily: "What evidence is needed, who doesn't know that it is Xiao Yunying who wants to harm the eldest brother?" ”

Xiao Zizhen felt that Xiao Ziqing's words were really funny, and couldn't help but say: "The people who have harmed the eldest brother are not only the second brother, right?" ”

"Ninth brother, what do you mean!" Xiao Ziqing said angrily.

Xiao Zijing frowned and said: "Old Jiu, don't be presumptuous in front of the eldest brother's spirit!" ”

As soon as Xiao Zijing spoke, Xiao Zizhen really stopped arguing, and knelt back again with a hum.

Xiao Ziqing still felt puzzled, and wanted to drag Xiao Zizhen over to have a good theory, but was glared at by Xi Yan, so he had to kneel back obediently.

From beginning to end, Xiao Lian didn't pay attention to the quarrel in the mourning hall. He just called Da Meng and whispered a few words. Before Xiao Ziqing and the others finished arguing, Da Meng had already withdrawn from the mourning hall.
