After the man in black was caught by the Praetorian Guards, he was sent to the yamen in the capital for interrogation.

When Shangshu and Jing Zhaoyin of the Criminal Department heard that they had caught a suspicious person, they immediately rushed over, and after some interrogation, they found that the suspicious man in black was really one of the people who assassinated Ji Qianmo at the beginning, and they got a shocking conclusion, that is, the mastermind behind them turned out to be the prince.

Shangshu and Jing Zhaoyin of the Criminal Department both felt that the matter was important and did not dare to make decisions on their own, and after the two discussed, they took the man in black into prison, and then took the painting of the man in black and entered the palace to see the emperor.

When Luo Mingyuan told Ji Qianmo what happened today, Ji Qianmo's face sank slightly, and said, "How did the emperor decide?" ”

Luo Mingyuan said: "The emperor immediately ordered to summon the prince into the palace to confront him, but who knows, the prince did not come, it was Prince Huan who came." ”

Ji Qianmo was slightly stunned and said: "At this time, the prince didn't come, so presumably, the emperor will be very angry." ”

Luo Mingyuan nodded and said: "The emperor was not angry for a while, but he just asked why the prince didn't come, and the people below said that the prince was not in the East Palace, and he didn't know where he went." ”

Luo Mingyuan paused and said, "Prince Huan said that the prince may be by the river, and the two of them went to the riverside to investigate the case together last time." So the emperor ordered someone to go to the riverside to spread the prince, this time, but the drunk prince was carried back, the emperor was furious, and asked the prince why he sent someone to assassinate you, and the prince was also frightened to wake up, and he could tell in every way.

At this time, Prince Huan said a word and directly put the prince into the well. ”

Ji Qianmo raised his eyes to look at Luo Mingyuan with doubts in his eyes.

Luo Mingyuan said: "Prince Huan said, no wonder the royal brother was so concerned about tracking down the murderer, it turns out that the person behind the scenes is yourself." Prince Huan also asked the prince, why did he attack you.

The crown prince kept shouting grievances, but the emperor naturally wouldn't believe him, put him under house arrest in the palace, and ordered him not to go out for half a step, but there was no other punishment. ”

Ji Qianmo's eyes deepened, and he said, "You said that Prince Huan pushed it at the end." ”

Luo Mingyuan picked up the tea on the table, poured himself a cup and drank it, and said: "It's not, but it's not surprising, the two have been at odds with each other, this time the prince has something to do, Prince Huan will naturally not let go of this good opportunity." ”

Ji Qianmo pondered for a while, didn't say anything, just went out, called Tao Yi and the others in, and instructed them: "Pay close attention to Prince Huan's movements, any movement he makes every day, he must come over and tell me." ”

Momoichi and the others agreed to go down.

After Luo Mingyuan and a few others left, he asked a little strangely: "Do you suspect that the person behind this scene is Prince Huan?" ”

Ji Qianmo nodded and said: "I should have suspected it a long time ago, I found out before, the people in black have the token of the East Palace, if they are not the people sent by the East Palace, then the target of the people behind this scene, in addition to himself, is the prince, in the city of Wanjing, the people who can compete with the prince, except for Prince Huan, there is no one else." ”

Luo Mingyuan nodded secretly, he felt that what Ji Qianmo said was very reasonable.

He thought for a while and said: "Now, the emperor is just putting the prince under house arrest in the palace, and also instructed the criminal department Shangshu and Jing Zhaoyin to suppress this matter, it can be seen that the emperor wants to keep the prince, so I am afraid that Prince Huan will make some changes." ”

"Well, I think so too, but I don't know what he's going to do next, so I can only keep an eye on him first."
