To tell the truth, before the announcement of the death of the sixth princess, Zheng Wenke dared to use the head of the Xiang Shangshang to vouch for the crown prince, and he definitely did not frame the second prince. Therefore, neither Deng Chang's suspicion nor his good brother Shen Zhizhang's speculation made him suspicious of the prince.

In Zheng Wenke's eyes, although the crown prince of the Great Liang Dynasty is not a good heir with talent and intelligence who has won the hearts of the people, he is definitely not a bad person who has lost his morality and reason in order to seize the throne. In the struggle between him and the second prince for so many years, in the face of the provocation and bullying of the perverse and tyrannical second brother, the prince also used some tricks and feet to make him suffer and have a long memory. But after all, he will not make false testimony in order to eradicate his opponent. Zheng Wenke has always known this in his heart.

But now the sixth princess died unexpectedly, and it was after he saw Shen Zhizhang receive a warning letter. Then, Zheng Wenke can no longer simply think that the death of the sixth princess is just an accident. Combined with what Shen Zhizhang said before, maybe this matter was done by a third person, and the purpose was to make Shen Zhizhang and the prince make a feud.

In this way, Shen Zhizhang in the past was still able to analyze the truth rationally, but now that he suddenly experienced the pain of losing his wife, how can he remain sane?

Thinking of this, Zheng Wenke was shocked by the strangeness, and immediately got up, pulled the cloak next to him and raised his feet to walk out, but only took a step, he heard someone behind him ask coldly: "It's so late, where are you going?" ”

The interrogator is Princess Celestia.

Hearing Zheng Wenke's hurried footsteps, he secretly pinched the cloak in his hand, adjusted his facial expression, turned around and replied calmly and politely: "Back to the princess, I have something urgent to go out." ”

"I ask you where you're going." The eldest princess put down the scroll in her hand, lazily changed her position and continued to lie down. Now the world is a little chaotic, seeing that the New Year is over, he still can't stay at home like this, either he just sits down and is silent in a daze, or he goes out and doesn't come back, never puts people in his eyes, and the eldest princess gets angry when he thinks of this.

Zheng Wenke lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, paused and replied truthfully: "Go to the East Palace." ”

"What are you going to do with my big brother?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Now everyone says that it was my eldest brother who hurt the sixth sister, should you be suspicious of black and white, right?" ”

"Nope." Zheng Wenke's expression was normal, and his tone was flat. He only said a simple perfunctory sentence, and did not intend to say more.

"You don't have to talk to me half-dead like that." Seeing him like this, the eldest princess sat up all of a sudden, and said with a disgusted expression: "You and the past are like two people, this will not have to be so respectful to disgust me." ”

"The princess misunderstood, I really didn't suspect the prince." Zheng Wenke raised his eyes and stared at the eldest princess, his tone was still calm, and he didn't seem to have any emotions at all: "Does the princess have any other orders?" If not, I'm out. ”

The eldest princess only felt that her anger was choked in her throat, and she wanted to say something more to vent, but Zheng Wenke had already turned around and walked out indifferently.

The eldest princess punched the cotton, this breath was not spit out, she stared at the door hatefully, picked up the book she had just read and threw it out: "Bastard! What a bastard! ”

———————————

When Zheng Wenke arrived at the East Palace, he could vaguely hear the sound of things falling and shouting inside. The little eunuch who welcomed him into the door cried with a sad face and trotted all the way to lead the way: "Master Horse, is it time for you to come, but not at the right time, Lord Six Horses are here...... They all alarmed the Royal Foresters. ”

"Why did you still alarm the Imperial Guards?" Zheng Wenke was taken aback: "When did he come?" ”

"Just now, the two masters actually fought when they spoke...... The prince called the Imperial Forest Army, and this will just detain the six horses. ”

When Zheng Wenke opened the curtain and entered, what caught his eye was a room of chaos, the prince was sitting at the table with a blue nose and swollen face, and the imperial doctor on the side was carefully giving him medicine.

"What are you doing again?" The prince endured his anger, gently rubbed his somewhat swollen chin and said, "If you come to Xingshi to ask for sin, I will not send it far." After saying that, he lowered his head and sneered: "He's really going to be the opposite!" ”

Zheng Wenke hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness forgives your sins...... The minister is here, there are some things I want to discuss with His Highness. ”

"Discuss what? Can't you see that Hongu is taking medicine? The prince was not angry, his tone was full of anger, and the movements in his hands became more and more irritable: "It is said that Bengong killed Xiaoliu, in their eyes, Bengong is such a ruthless and ruthless person?" On weekdays, no one is afraid of this palace, which will say that I am a wicked person! ”

Hearing this tone, Zheng Wenke was even more sure that this matter was not done by the prince. He breathed a long sigh of relief and opened his mouth to persuade: "The minister is here for this matter, I am afraid that someone has framed him and wants to provoke the relationship between His Highness and the six horses." ”

"The relationship between Bengu and him still needs to be provoked?" The crown prince sneered and said: "This person is really arrogant and bastard, a gentleman, not very capable and not small-tempered, but he is very handy in the following crimes." Hum! ”

"Your Royal Highness, the sixth princess has just had an accident, and he is out of control...... There is also a reason for it. I also ask for your forgiveness. Zheng Wenke hurriedly interceded for Shen Zhizhang.

"Look at Hongu's face! How to forgive? The crown prince pointed to his face angrily, and gasped in pain as he spoke: "You don't have to excuse him, this matter has already alarmed my father, and I just called him away." ”

"This ......" Zheng Wenke's eyes widened, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Running into the palace and beating the crown prince is a big crime!

"This palace said that he had never written a warning letter, and he was not afraid of shadows, so he told him to go and check, do you know what he said?" The crown prince described Shen Zhizhang's behavior with a shocked face, as if his three views had been challenged: "He said that he would naturally find out, but whether it was the hand of the palace or not, Xiaoliu's death was inseparable from the palace!" What kind of logic do you listen to? ”

The little eunuch next to him secretly raised his eyelids and glanced at the prince, and quickly lowered his head and pursed his lips. Zheng Wenke, the eldest horse, didn't see the scene just now, so he could only listen to the prince's relay, but Shen Zhizhang's arrogance came out of the prince's mouth at least half.

Just now, the two of them didn't talk right, and Shen Zhizhang jumped up and punched the prince in the face. After the beating, the prince said the classic line that all people who were suddenly beaten in ancient and modern China and abroad would say: "You dare to beat me? ”

In this regard, Shen Zhizhang raised his hand and punched again: "No one else, I am the one who beats you!" ”

The prince never thought that he was punched again, and he was completely stunned: "But what I said is true, this matter really has nothing to do with me, what can I do if I kill Xiaoliu?" ”

"Whether you killed her or not, this incident is caused by you, and it has nothing to do with you!" Shen Zhizhang was even more arrogant than the prince, and slapped the table and yelled at the moment: "Who else is there besides you?" You name it and I'll hit him! ”

Prince:???

If only the I knew I could still be beaten by you here!

Hearing the prince say this about Shen Zhizhang, Zheng Wenke didn't know how to answer for a while: "Then ......"

"Don't talk about him, what's the matter with the warning letter? Can there be handwriting? The prince asked angrily while rubbing his head. The most important thing at the moment is to prove one's innocence.

——————————

The emperor also had a headache after hearing that Shen Zhizhang had beaten the crown prince. He sent someone to arrest Shen Zhizhang and wanted to admonish him, but in the end, for the sake of the sixth princess who had just gone, and now the Shen family has many disasters, so he understood that he was hit and emotionally out of control, so he only hung him in the side hall for a while, and left him with a sentence of "Don't take it as an example, go home early" and let him go.

As soon as he came out of the emperor's Qinzheng Pavilion, Shen Zhizhang was invited by Concubine Jing's palace maid Qiu Xuan. Since Jinshu's accident, this is the first time he and Concubine Jing have met.

At this time, the whole sky was dark. The sky was pitch black like an overturned ink tray. When Shen Zhizhang went to Concubine Jing's palace, there were only a few lights in the entire hall, which looked extremely lonely and lonely. Concubine Jing sat alone on the chair under the window, she only stared blankly into the distance, silent. When he saw Shen Zhizhang come in, he realized that he ordered the palace maid to light more lights.

But after the lights were lit, the hall fell silent again. Concubine Jing still maintained her original movements and did not speak, so Shen Zhizhang followed her, standing in place and silent.

After the sixth princess had an accident, Concubine Jing only cried once, and sat in silence for the rest of the time. Qiu Su saw her so distracted again, and reminded softly: "Niangniang...... The horse master is here. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Jing turned her head blankly, and looked around slowly, only to notice Shen Zhizhang's existence: "Oh...... Yes, I called him. ”

"Concubine Jing, Niangniang......" Shen Zhizhang said in a dumb voice: "Please take care of your body......"

Concubine Jing didn't seem to hear what he was saying, so she leaned forward slightly, and asked softly and sadly, "Is it painful for her to walk?" ”

There are not many people who know what happened to the sixth princess after her death, hearing her ask, Shen Zhizhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied with red eyes and kindness: "It doesn't hurt......"

"That's good, that's good." Concubine Jing nodded, lowered her head and whispered to herself, as if she was comforting herself: "Everything has a cycle of life and death, but it is only a matter of one day sooner or later. After death, they will go to another world, and everyone will have to go sooner or later. That's how I said it to myself, that's what I said, yes, I ......"

Listening to Concubine Jing's speech, which seemed to be getting faster and faster, her voice was almost choked, Qiu Su hurriedly patted her on the back and persuaded: "Niangniang, Niangniang, the master of the horse is here, he is here." ”

Concubine Jing raised her head stupidly, looked at Shen Zhizhang blankly, and reluctantly smiled and said, "Yes, oh...... Yes, I called him. I have something to ask the horse master, is it painful when she leaves? ”

"Hui Niangniang, it doesn't hurt." Hearing the same question, Shen Zhizhang's nose was sore, and he was about to cry, he raised his hand to wipe the tears in the corners of his eyes and said, "She doesn't hurt...... Xia Aya and Xiaohuan are protecting her...... It really doesn't hurt. There is a thick layer of snow on the ground...... She landed on it...... It really doesn't hurt......"

"That's good, that's good." Concubine Jing smiled a little, and then looked up uneasily and asked Qiu Kun, "What else do I have to say to him?" ”

At this time, Qiu Kun's face was also full of tears, she suppressed her emotions, and replied softly to Concubine Jing: "You said you have important words......

"Yes, I remember!" Concubine Jing's body trembled, turned her head to look at Shen Zhizhang, and said with a serious expression: "Shu'er gave me a dream!" She said she was alive! ”
