In the end, even Cen Junhan frowned when he heard this.

"I say, I say." The man looked at the boxes full of torture instruments and shouted.

"Lord Lin, you can judge it next." Linghu turned his head to look at the squire of the criminal department.

The squire of the criminal department subconsciously dodged back, looking at the fear that the spirit fox couldn't hide. "Yes, the lower officials will be tried."

"Let's go back." Linghu glanced at Cen Junhan.

"Well, go back." Cen Junhan glanced at her thoughtfully and responded.

Soon, the man signed the pledge.

"Lord, princess. It's been signed. Yun Yi came in with the paper, handed it to Cen Junhan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The squire of the Criminal Department said that the man insisted that the fourth prince instructed him to do this. ”

"Got it, let's go down." Cen Junhan was not surprised when he heard Yun Yi say this. If his eldest brother was caught so easily, he wouldn't have been in a stalemate with him for so long.

"Then, Lord Wang, there is no need to try him again?"

"No need. Now the main purpose is to get the palace out of this matter, and if the trial continues, some people should say that we have tortured to extract confessions. Linghu had already expected it, "But this fourth prince just carried the black cauldron for others." ”

After hearing what Linghu said, Yun Yi glanced at Cen Junhan. Seeing that Cen Junhan didn't say anything, he retreated.

On the second day, the court went up. The squire of the criminal department repeated the prisoner's statement.

The emperor was furious and ordered the four princes to be brought to the top of the main hall.

Gonggong Xu took a few guards and dragged the four princes out of the Yuyun Palace.

"You let me go. I'm a prince. Cen Xiuzhu shouted all the way, and no one paid attention to him.

Until the main hall, Cen Xiuzhu saw so many people, and he was stunned for a while, shook his head, and stopped shouting.

The emperor looked at him coldly and threw the fold in his face.

Cen Xiuzhu picked up the fold in a panic and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more panicked Cen Xiuzhu became, and even the fold was a little unstable.

"No, Father. It was not at the behest of the retainers. Erchen didn't let people kill the daughter of Wu Zhifu. Cen Xiuzhu knelt on the ground, "Erchen really doesn't have it." ”

"No?" The emperor was furious, "No, why did the killer keep saying that it was because you hated Princess Han, instructed him to kill and then blamed Princess Han?" ”

"Erchen really doesn't, father." Cen Xiuzhu felt desperate, it was clearly written on those folds, and the source of everything was because he lost to Princess Han at the gambling table and angered the emperor, and he held a grudge. Now he can't argue.

"Erchen knows, even if Erchen says that his father won't believe it." Cen Xiuzhu raised his eyes to look at his father, who he once respected the most, "Since I was a child, my father has always favored the three emperor brothers. Don't even look at me, no matter what I've done well or not, you've never looked at me squarely, father. Now, for the sake of the reputation of the three emperor brothers and the three emperor sisters-in-law, my father does not hesitate to use me as a scapegoat. ”

"Presumptuous." A ninety-five honorable man was angry in his heart when his son said this in the main hall.

"Oh, that's it. Since the father said that the son did it, it was the son who did it. The sons were left to their father's disposal. Cen Xiuzhu wiped away two lines of tears, straightened up, and slowly kowtowed.

The emperor sat on it, looking at Cen Xiuzhu, a trace of unbearable crossings in his cold eyes, fleeting. Cen Xiuzhu was right, even if he knew who the real murderer was, but before he took back half of the tiger talisman in Cheng Kun's hand and the iron deed given by the previous emperor, he couldn't easily move the eldest prince.

Every time I think of this, the emperor secretly hates in his heart, as an emperor, he has to be jealous of a minister, and he has to give up his children, which is really incompetent.

"In that case, herald." The emperor looked at Cen Xiuzhu on the ground, "From now on, the position of the fourth prince will be cut off and demoted to the common people." Never enter the capital. His mother was not strict in discipline and was guilty of dereliction of duty, and was expelled from the capital together, and was never allowed to set foot in the capital. ”

"Thank you for your grace." Cen Xiuzhu's expressionless face thanked him.

"Your Majesty." The ministers said in unison.

Governor Wu thought in his heart that he had finally caught the murderer for his daughter. But even so, it can't erase his hatred for Princess Han, because without her, Xuan'er would not have died.

Governor Wu is now at the door of Wu Mansion, looking up at the sky, "Daughter, it's good over there, don't worry, those who hurt you, my father will not let any of them go." ”

Governor Wu turned around, and just as he was about to enter the mansion, a voice came from behind him, "Lord Wu, please stay." ”

Governor Wu turned around and saw that it was Cen Jingyun. "Xiaguan has seen the eldest prince."

"Lord Wu, please get up." Cen Jingyun still has the same smile.

"I don't know if the eldest prince is coming to the humble house, but what's the matter?"

"Why don't you go in and talk?"

"Please."

"I don't know what the eldest prince has to do?"

"I know that the loss of his daughter in the Governor of Wu must be very painful in his heart, and he must also hate Princess Han." Cen Jingyun still has that iconic smile.

"If the eldest prince has something to say, you might as well say it directly." Governor Wu didn't know what Cen Jingyun wanted to do.

"You hate Princess Han, and my target is the Han Palace, I think Governor Wu should be a good choice when making a choice, what do you say?"

"This ......" Cen Jingyun's words, of course Governor Wu understood, but he never thought of choosing any one. He didn't want to get involved in the party fight, but he wanted to avenge his daughter, and now he was a little shaken.

"I'm not going to force you to make a choice now, I'll give you time to think about it." Cen Jingyun got up, "It's not too early, this prince is waiting for your news, Lord Wu." After speaking, Cen Jingyun left the Wu Mansion.

Governor Wu thought about it, since he had to choose, he would definitely not choose King Han, but compared with King Han, the eldest prince is more ruthless and cunning. Cooperating with such a person is the so-called seeking skin with the tiger.

Wu Zhifu thought for a long time, looked at the cold courtyard, and thought of his daughter, since he wanted to avenge his daughter, he could only choose the eldest prince. If he did it on his own, he couldn't do it at all.

Thinking of this, Governor Wu made a big decision. He turned around and went back to the study, wrote a letter, and ordered the letter to be delivered to the eldest prince.

Cen Jingyun put the letter on the table with satisfaction, and it seemed that everything was under control.

At this time, Cen Xiuzhu and his mother had already been sent out of the capital.

When Linghu heard the news, he said softly, "Although these four princes haven't done anything good, it's pitiful to be dragged out as a scapegoat like this." ”

"I can't think of a time when there is still your poor man?" Cen Junhan was surprised when he heard her say this.

"It seems that I am already a ruthless person in the eyes of the prince?" Linghu looked at Cen Junhan with a smile.

Cen Junhan didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, "This king doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, and he doesn't need to be merciful to the enemy." ”

"It seems that we are very consistent on this." Linghu held the pastry in his hand, looked at Cen Junhan, and said.

"In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve." These busy days almost forgot that it was almost the New Year, Cen Junhan thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zhou, the mansion was too deserted in previous years, so let's handle it well on Chinese New Year's Eve this year." Let the people in the house live a little more lively. ”

"Yes, the old slave will do it." Steward Zhou heard Cen Junhan say this, and hurriedly responded.

In fact, he is so old, and he doesn't care whether this New Year is lively or not, but Wang Ye's first Chinese New Year's Eve of his wedding naturally has to be handled well. The prince, who has always liked to be deserted, suddenly asked for this, it seems that it is also for the princess.

Steward Zhou happily instructed a few Xiao Si and maids to go out to buy New Year's goods.

In this way, the atmosphere of the whole palace suddenly became lively. In previous years, they didn't dare to be lively if they wanted to, but this time the prince spoke, and they were very happy.

"Thanks to the princess, I can finally have a lively year." Yun Yi said as he put his arm on the shoulder of the lone shadow.

"You say, it's the New Year, what kind of gift should I give?" Duying pondered.

"You mean to give it to the prince? Or is it~ huh? Yun Yi raised his eyebrows and asked?

"Forget it, I won't ask you. You're a big man, and you probably don't know what to send? The lone shadow didn't answer him directly, and turned to leave.

"Hey, what's wrong with me as a big man? Walking so fast, you won't be shy, right? Yun Yi looked at the back of the lone shadow and shouted, "What's so shy about giving things to other little girls." ”

The lone shadow was said by Yun Yi, and the roots of his ears were red.

"What the hell is it good to give?" Duying lay on the bed, thinking carefully, "Otherwise, tomorrow will go to stabilize the princess, right?" ”

Thinking about the lone shadow fell asleep.

On the second day, Duying got up early in the morning, waited for the guards to return from two rounds of patrols, freshened up, and went to the antechamber.

At this time, Linghu and Cen Junhan were eating. Duying had to stay outside, glancing at Fang Ling standing aside from time to time.

I was a little nervous in my heart, didn't I just ask something, what was there to be nervous about. Lone Shadow comforted himself in his heart.

Soon Linghu and Cen Junhan finished breakfast, and Linghu just went out, "My subordinates have seen the princess." The lone shadow saluted.

"Shadow Guards, get up." Linghu thought he was just saluting, and turned around to leave.

"Princess." Duying hurriedly stopped.

"What's the matter with the Shadow Guard?" Linghu looked puzzled.

"Princess, my subordinates have something to ask the princess."

"Just ask."

The lone shadow swallowed and looked at Fang Ling behind him.

"Fang Ling, you go back first. I have something to talk to the shadow guards. ”

Fang Ling nodded and left.

"This time, the shadow guards can talk about it."

"The subordinates just want to ask the princess, what does Miss Fangling like?" Duying scratched his head embarrassedly.

"You want to give a gift? Tell you about things like gifts, as long as you really give them, others will like them very much. Linghu held back the urge to laugh, looked at Duying and said seriously.

"My subordinates know." The lone shadow left as if he had fled.

"It seems that my family's Fangling's marriage doesn't need me to be too careful." Linghu looked at the back of the lone shadow running away and said with a smile.

Linghu returned to Qinqing Garden, and Fang Ling was teasing the rabbit in the cage.

"You're still feeding. Look at this rabbit, it is several times fatter than when Duying first gave you away. Linghu walked over and touched the rabbit in the cage.

"It's cute when you're fat." Fang Ling looked at the rabbit and smiled.

"I like rabbits so much."

"Of course, rabbits are so cute."

"Oh, so what do you like rabbits? Or do you like to give rabbits? ”

"Jingshu, what are you talking nonsense?" Don't overdo it.

"Oops, I'm sorry." Linghu regulates Fangling.

"You, I'll be angry if you say it again." Fang Ling looked at Fang Ling seriously.

"Okay, I'll not say anything. Don't be angry. Linghu patted Fang Ling's shoulder.
