Chapter 171: A conspiracy to kill two birds with one stone

With mahjong, Zhong Xiaoshu was stunned to find the joy of staying at home.

All day long, Ning Shuya and Zhao Linglong played cards, and they were very happy.

In the end, Yin Zhige and Shen Xingjian, who were ruthlessly ignored, formed a team of resentful husbands, and together they strongly opposed these few who were so addicted to mahjong, and they all came up with many reasons, such as pregnant women should not sit for a long time, the injured person's arm should not move frequently, and the princess should not stay outside the palace......

Therefore, under the interference of the two husbands, the card playing team had to be temporarily dispersed.

So much so that in the past two days, Zhong Xiaoshu has been a little unpleasant to see Yin Zhige at home, and sure enough, men can't be petted, and if you spoil him, you have to take care of everything.

Yin Zhige also knew that he was a little unwelcome in the past two days, but he did feel that the sense of mahjong madness was too powerful, and he said that he didn't dare to let Zhong Xiaoshu play more, so he had to come to another infinite spoiling in other aspects - to eat with osmanthus cakes!

However, the trick was still fresh the first time he used it, and when he used it for the second time, Zhong Xiaoshu was already a little immune, which made Yin Zhige a little unfolded.

This day is not yet the next dynasty, I saw Yin Zhige return home, when Nian Wu came to report, although Zhong Xiaoshu was a little surprised, but he didn't think so, just Gu Zi pursed his lips and snickered, and said in his heart, he didn't know where to learn some new methods, and see how he coaxed people.

As a result, he saw Yin Zhige's hurried steps, his face was a little solemn, and he waved away a group of slaves when he entered the bedroom.

What kind of routine is this? Was it a surprise?

Zhong Xiaoshu was dragged into the inner room, a little confused, "Stop? What are you doing here? ”

It's not like that.

"Xiao Shu, the last autumn hunt, the emperor investigated the person behind the scenes." Yin Zhige's voice was a little low, and he solemnly revealed the news.

"Who is it?!" Zhong Xiaoshu immediately straightened up, leaned a little towards him involuntarily, and hurriedly asked.

Yin Zhige raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and naturally leaned forward, still lowering his voice, and his words were still serious.

"It is said that it is the second prince, and the Imperial Forest Army found out that it was stabbed on the top of the handle of the dagger of the horse attendant, engraved with a small unicorn pattern, although the horse servant died of oral poison, but this evidence pointed directly to the second prince, and the emperor had already begun to send someone to get him."

Second prince Zhao Qi?!

It stands to reason that those who dare to use the unicorn pattern in the royal hunting ground, except for Zhao Qi, there is indeed no second person in the world.

He has always used the unicorn as his emblem symbol, and the dagger with a small pattern is indeed ironclad evidence.

However, Zhong Xiaoshu's brows furrowed tightly, she was sure that the murderer was not the second prince!

Not to mention that there is no brother who wants to harm his sister, and the second prince has no basis to harm her!

That's right, the key clue little red horse was that the fifth princess and her Zhong Xiaoshu exchanged horses, so if the second prince is the real murderer, then his target would be Zhong Xiaoshu from the beginning.

That makes even more sense.

"Xiao Shu?" Yin Zhige saw that Zhong Xiaoshu was furious after listening to it, and patted her gently.

Zhong Xiaoshu shuddered, his thoughts pulled back, and he immediately turned around and grabbed Yin Zhige and asked, "Zhige, are you sure that the emperor has identified the murderer as the second prince now?" ”

"I went out of the palace at this time to cooperate with the Imperial Forest Army to get people, but the leader of the Royal Forest Army remembered that I was under the second prince before, and it was embarrassing to arrest him now, so I temporarily avoided it, it is estimated that the second prince has been escorted into the palace for questioning at about this time, I also thought that this matter was related to you, and I rushed back to inform you."

"However, there shouldn't be a need to wait until tomorrow, the emperor's will will be down. At that time, it was clear what was going on, and now I just know that it is the second prince. ”

Yin Zhige saw that something was wrong with her, "Xiao Shu, do you think there is something wrong?" ”

It's not just wrong, it's a big mistake, but listening to Yin Zhige's meaning, it seems that there is still some inside story about the autumn hunting incident?

Then wait for what the emperor says and think about it again.

Zhong Xiaoshu reluctantly suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart, and smiled lightly at the corners of his mouth, "Not for the time being, I just didn't expect it to be the second prince." ”

She looked so soft, as if she was really frightened, it was just in Yin Zhige's heart, and she immediately reached out to take her lady into her arms, comforting her, "Don't worry, if that's the case, this matter will finally be over." I'm never going to put you in danger again. ”

Coaxed for several days, there was no improvement at all, and sure enough, as soon as I came back today, I told her the news, and the effect was immediate.

Yin Zhige's heart was full of joy, and while he really comforted Zhong Xiaoshu with concern for a while, he secretly smiled in the corner of his eyes, but it was a pity that Zhong Xiaoshu's mind was full of things behind the scenes of the murderer, and he didn't notice it at all, so he obediently leaned in the familiar embrace and was quiet for a while.

After stealing half a day's grace, Yin Zhige immediately rushed back to the palace again, and gently kissed Zhong Xiaoshu's forehead.

"Don't worry about these things, your arm is almost good now, rest at home for a while, if it's okay, I'll accompany you to the Shen Mansion to see Miss Ning, okay?"

"Well, it's a good ......" Zhong Xiaoshu's heart warmed, Yin Zhige was really good to her, smiled lightly, and said to him gently, "Don't delay, hurry up and go to the palace to get busy." ”

This time, Yin Zhige didn't let the general go back until midnight, with a tired body.

What followed was the emperor's decree that was also issued overnight.

Before Zhong Xiaoshu stopped Ge first, he heard the news from the palace brought by Nianwu.

said that the second prince has always been at odds with Prime Minister Ying, and he resented the prime minister for persuading the emperor to manage the second prince and reorganize the military power several times, which made the second prince have a long-standing hatred.

Taking advantage of this autumn hunt, the second prince wanted to harm Ying Shuangshuang, the young lady of the Ying family, but Ying Shuangshuang befriended the five princesses, and the little red horse prepared was ridden by the five princesses, which almost caused a big disaster.

The emperor was furious, and directly detained the second prince in the palace and grounded him, and he didn't mention it when he was released, as if he was going to stop until he was angry, which showed that Long Yan was really angry.

If at noon, Zhong Xiaoshu still didn't understand how the second prince could be involved, then now when he heard that there was a Ying family, he immediately understood.

What prince harmed the princess was exposed, or the real murderer murdered her Zhong Xiaoshu, these two things together are a big drama.

It turned out that the whole thing was simply the plan of the real murderer behind the scenes to kill two birds with one stone!
