Chapter 163

"Deputy Commander Song?" The emperor frowned, only to find that Song Yuheng was standing straight not far from the door, like a doorpost. "Explain!"

The emperor is sitting in danger, today is the first day of Song Yuheng's errand in the palace, when such a thing happens, the emperor can't help but beat a little drum in his heart, is the decision to let Song Yuheng be on an errand in front of him, is it a little too rash?

"Back to the emperor," Song Yuheng took a few steps forward and recounted the matter succinctly, "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was attacked and rescued by the virtuous concubine Niangniang who came to the Guanxin Pavilion. ”

"When Concubine Xian Niangniang found His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, the Seven Princes were tied hand and foot, blindfolded and discarded by the arch before entering the Guanxin Pavilion, the imperial doctor had already examined it, there were traces of being hit on the shoulders and neck, traces of hands and feet being tied by ropes, as well as colds and surprises, and nothing else."

"When His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was found, he didn't leave any traces except for a handkerchief in his hand."

"So, Hao'er has seen the murderer?" The emperor looked at Long Zehao, "But Hao'er, what about your entourage?" How come they don't know to protect you? Where were you attacked? ”

Long Zehao lowered his head and said nothing. Su Nianjin was already the object of key suspicion, and he couldn't tell his father that he deliberately threw off his guards in order to see her.

"Hao'er? Why don't you talk back? The emperor looked at Long Zehao with some doubts.

Long Zehao held the sleeve of Concubine Xian's hand, looking frightened. ”

"Your Majesty, you better listen to Deputy Commander Song and continue." Concubine Xian didn't understand why Long Zehao wanted to shield Su Nianjin, he shouldn't have had any contact with Su Nianjin.

The emperor raised his hand at Song Yuheng and motioned for him to continue.

"After His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince woke up, he only remembered that he himself was knocked unconscious at Merlin, as for who knocked him unconscious, who brought him to Guanxin Pavilion, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince doesn't know anything." Song Yuheng picked the key point and said, "Because of today's Doushi Conference, Concubine Xian Niangniang sent the four eunuchs kneeling here to guard the entrance to the only water pavilion promenade that entered the Guanxin Pavilion, so the four eunuchs who were guarding the door were tied up, and they have been guarding the door, and they should have seen the prisoners." ”

"That's right," the emperor nodded, very satisfied with Song Yuheng's way of reporting, "What is the result?" What did you find? ”

"The four eunuchs all said that before Concubine Xian Niangniang came to Guanxin Pavilion, only the county lord of Su had come." Song Yuheng said, "This can also be testified to by humble duties." ”

"Huh?" The emperor looked at Song Yuheng with some surprise.

"When I was looking for Prince Yan before I was humiliated, I happened to meet the palace maid kneeling beside the eunuch and leading the county lord of Su was about to enter the water pavilion corridor." Song Yuheng said, "Because I was eager to find Prince Yan because of my humble position, I stopped the county lord of Su and wanted to ask her where Prince Yan was." After a few brief conversations, he didn't get the whereabouts of Prince Yan, so he left with someone. As for whether the county lord of Su had entered the Guanxin Pavilion before he saw the lowly post or after the humbleness left, the humbler did not know. ”

"Oh?" Following Song Yuheng's words, the emperor looked at Su Nianjin, "Nianjin girl, what Deputy Commander Song said is true?" Why didn't you follow Concubine Xian, but instead came to Guanxin Pavilion first?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Nian Jin was distracted when she was appreciating the plum blossoms in the plum forest, so she was singled." Su Nianjin replied, "Just when Nian Jin didn't know what to do, Nian Jin met the palace maid in front of Concubine Xian, she said that Concubine Xian Niangniang was in Guanxin Pavilion, so she brought Nian Jin over... And this palace maid... She has been urging Nian Jin to enter the Guanxin Pavilion alone, thinking that she knows the situation inside, so she let me go in alone, right? ”

"Your Majesty, the county lord of Su is lying!" The palace maid who was kneeling beside hurriedly opened her mouth and denied it.

"Lying?" The emperor doesn't like the palace maid's interjection, but seeing that she is the big palace maid in front of Concubine Xian, the emperor has to give Concubine Xian a little face, "Where did she lie?" ”

"Back to the emperor's words, when he arrived at the Warm Heart Pavilion, the slave maid found that the county lord Su was missing, so she mentioned it to the mother. Niangniang was worried that the county lord Su didn't know the way in the palace, so she sent a slave to find the county lord Su and took her to the Warm Heart Pavilion. The palace maid said, "But after the slave maid found the Su County Lord, the Su County Lord was not only unwilling to follow the slave and maid to the Warm Heart Pavilion, but also insisted on going to the Guanxin Pavilion." ”

The palace maid said very aggrievedly, "The county master of Su is the master, and although the slave maid is on an errand in the virtuous concubine, she is only a slave." The county lord of Su used his identity to coerce, and the slave had to obey, thinking that the mother was about to go to the Guanxin Pavilion, so she obeyed the county lord of Su. The slave maid was worried that the mother would remember the Su county lord and was in a hurry to go back to restore her life, so she took the Su county lord to the front and back of the water pavilion corridor, and the slave and maid took their leave. When the slave and maid left, whether it was the four fathers-in-law guarding the door, the deputy commander of Song and the forbidden army behind him, they could all testify for the slave and maid. Su County mainly came to Guanxin Pavilion, and she took the initiative to mention it, not the slave maid who brought her over. The slave didn't know why the county lord of Su came to Guanxin Pavilion..."

Concubine Xian looked at Su Nianjin with unkind eyes, she was just a nominal county lord, she was so arrogant that she didn't even pay attention to the big girl in front of her. "Qing'er, don't be afraid, this palace won't let people pour dirty water on you."

The palace maid's eyes were full of tears, and her eyes were full of gratitude to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian Niangniang was a little protective of her palace maids, "Your Majesty, Qing'er is the eldest maid beside the concubine, not only loyal to the concubine, but also has many opportunities to contact Hao'er, so I can't make a move on Hao'er in full view of everyone today." ”

"What does Concubine Xian mean by this, the matter of the Seven Princes is done by Nian Jin?" Prince Yan, who had been sitting next to him, was not happy, and he also spoke out to protect Nian Jin, "Although Nian Jin is from the countryside, she is also the daughter of a big family, and she is usually pampered, where would she have the ability to attack the Seventh Prince?" Besides, what good is it for her to attack and kidnap the Seven Princes? ”

Prince Yan was full of anger, originally Concubine Xian was not so angry, but as a result, Prince Yan was so protective, as if he wanted to go against himself, Concubine Xian was not happy.

Before the emperor came, the atmosphere in the Guanxin Pavilion was not right, because Concubine Xian and Prince Yan had a quarrel. And Long Zehao also helped Prince Yan say a few words in order to protect Su Nianjin, and the anger in Concubine Xian's heart was even more irrepressible.

Concubine Xian can't take Prince Yan, but it doesn't mean that she can't be angry with Su Nianjin, "Lord Su, this palace asks you, why do you want to attack the Seventh Prince?" And he also poured dirty water on the big palace maid in front of the palace, what did the palace do to make you so dissatisfied? ”
