Chapter 292: The Last Player
Cheng Ziyu also knew what she said.
"Then, you went back to the feast, intending to report the incident to the Holy One, but you found me on the way?"
"Almost, I won't let you go there, as soon as that place is cordoned off, all those who pass by will be strictly investigated to see if there is any suspicion. According to your footsteps at that time, you were in the range of being questioned.
Tonight's events are already full of weirdness, and Lu Qiao mentioned Zhu Changan in his testimony, so I can't let you go. In case the person behind the scenes is really Zhu Chang'an, in case there are other traps around the guest house, in case Zhu Chang'an's drunkard is not in wine, in case you are also Zhu Chang'an's target, then you will be in trouble.
In addition, I was worried that the eldest prince who left in anger would still pounce, but I was afraid that he would rush forward if he gathered manpower, and I was in a hurry to transfer people, and I was also afraid that you would be in danger in the past, so for the sake of safety, I persuaded you to return to the banquet. ”
Cheng Ziyu nodded.
Thinking of the face that the emperor and queen couldn't hold back at that time, and the anger that couldn't be suppressed, it was obvious that such an unexpected situation caught them off guard.
In the previous life, Wen Lan made a marriage early and married the prince as a side concubine, which became a big help to the prince, and she did not experience such repeated tossing at all.
The Seven Princes? Such a villain, Cheng Ziyu felt a burst of disgust when she thought about it.
The seventh prince, Zhu Changqi, is far from the crown prince in all aspects, and his sense of existence is extremely low. In the previous life, Wen Lan and Zhu Changqi should have no intersection.
In the previous life, Cheng Qingyu, the good sister of Cheng Ziyu's second uncle's family, exhausted her calculations and became a concubine of Zhu Changqi, although she was not a concubine, but Zhu Changqi loved her very much.
When Cheng Ziyu was in trouble, Cheng Qingyu at that time not only did not have the slightest help, but he didn't even set foot in King An's Mansion.
Cheng Ziyu can understand the cruel human nature of flying separately when the catastrophe comes, but when the Cheng family was lost, Zhu Changqi and Cheng Qingyu didn't know what means they used, and they forcibly let the second room and one vein be separated from the thunder fire of the saint and preserved.
The Cheng family was completely destroyed, and even the helpers and apprentices were all implicated, but the second room was still alive and well, and continued with wealth...... With Zhu Changqi alone, it is absolutely impossible!
After Cheng Hao's collusion with the Gao family to sell illicit salt was confirmed, Cheng Ziyu knew in her heart that the second room family was selfish and ruthless, regardless of the despicable villain of the family, and they had the same smell as Zhu Changqi.
In the previous life, when the Cheng family was held accountable for the fuse of "private salt", Cheng Hao, who was the culprit of private salt, was safe and sound.
Therefore, it is very likely that Erfang and Zhu Changqi joined forces to defeat the Cheng family, or betrayed the Cheng family, and even the fall of the Cheng family could not escape Cheng Hao's hands and feet.
And in this life, because of his own troublemaking and Zhu Chang'an's occasional shot from the dream, everything was messed up.
Cheng Ziyu wanted to laugh a little, not to mention that Cheng Hao had been cleared out of the Cheng family now, even if he was still in his place, just tonight Wen Lan and Zhu Changqi had that incident, there is a strong force like Wen Lan becoming the Seventh Princess, Cheng Qingyu will definitely not be able to climb the real villain Zhu Changqi like in his previous life......
She didn't be cruel to the second room family that day, just to ask them to live in the pain of not being able to ask for it. Sure enough, Zhu Changqi in this life will also be their high-ranking and unattainable existence.
Thinking of Zhu Changqi, Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but shake her head again, Wen Lan's choice was just a bad move.
"And then? How's it going? Has the emperor found out the mastermind behind the scenes? How did Wen Lan and Zhu Changqi be arranged? ”
A large pot of chicken soup and rice, Li Chun has already finished eating.
He nestled comfortably in the lap chair and shook his head with a faint smile.
"This is destined to become an unsolved case!"
It turned out that soon after the thorough investigation began, it was found difficult to proceed.
First of all, there are a lot of people Wenlan has come into contact with tonight, and the things she eats and drinks are too messy, so it is even more difficult to trace the source or find out the way and the people who handle it.
Then the easiest way can only start from Zhu Changan and Zhu Changjue, who were identified by Lu Qiao.
Zhu Changan, on the other hand, did not attend the banquet tonight, and was alone in the house to copy the scriptures. When the saint's cronies went to invite someone, Zhu Changan had not yet put down his pen, and his reaction was too shocked, and it really didn't look like he was acting. Even the people he brought with him when he went south this time didn't leave the yard.
As for Concubine Zhao, she was stimulated too much during the day, so she took the medicine early and fell asleep.
No matter how you look at it, Zhu Changan's mother and son really don't seem to be motivated.
As for Zhu Changjue, it is interesting......
After Zhu Changjue couldn't break through and left, he also went to invite King Xiaoyao, and brought a lot of people with him, wanting to break into the courtyard again. He thinks he is at the peak of morality, and he has no fear. As soon as King Xiaoyao heard that it was a clan scandal, he naturally hurriedly followed him.
However, at that time, Li Chun had already obtained a warrant from the emperor, so he simply transferred people to surround the courtyard layer by layer, Zhu Changjue not only failed to enter, but he was also temporarily invited to wait for tea with "the emperor's will......
After the banquet, it was Zhu Changjue, who was personally interrogated by the emperor.
When the emperor arrived, the eldest prince was still thundering at Li Chun.
"Evil Barrier!" Before the emperor arrived, the scolding had arrived. "Tell me clearly, what have you done today? Have you calculated Vinland's mastermind? ”
The emperor asked him to explain why he didn't wait for his best lively banquet in the past, and preferred to go to this guest house? Asked him why he was just changing clothes, why did he have three subordinates with him? Ask him why he ran into Vinlan so coincidentally? Ask him why he tried to pull with Vinlan, persecute Vinlan, and hurt her? Why did he have to keep people on the side of the road and control the entry and exit? Ask him why he keeps shouting and jumping? Is it a weak heart, or is it unwilling to fail? ……
"If you can't give a reasonable explanation and come up with evidence, then in order to give an explanation to Wenlan, Lao Qi, and North Korea, it is not you who did it, but you can only do it!" The emperor slammed the table and stared at the eldest prince like a torch.
As far as Lu Qiao's testimony is concerned, Zhu Changjue's suspicion is much more than Zhu Chang'an's.
Zhu Changjue was still bouncing until the end of the banquet, and he always targeted Wen Lan. If it weren't for Lao Qi's sideways, it would be obvious that the person lying next to Wen Lan at this moment would be him.
Therefore, whether it is from the motive or the purpose to the means, the boss has become the number one suspect with his physical performance!
Of course, even if the eldest son is not the mastermind, but it is true that he has bad intentions, he has caused Wenlan to be injured in many places, in case of trouble, Wenlan will be killed, and I don't know how many incidents will be caused after that.
The emperor was naturally annoyed.
He is not against fighting, but that does not mean that he will be willing to be challenged.
Wenlan's object was changed from the fourth to the crown prince, and at this time he had an affair with the seventh, but this matter was still related to the boss, and the shame was his majesty as the emperor, the face of the royal family, and the face of the entire Great Zhou.
The North Korean envoy is still on the road, but there is another accident here, in just a few days, repeated many times, it is simply embarrassing.
The emperor's anger was rising slowly, and his sons were all disappointed and disgusted at this time.
And at this moment, Zhu Changjue was stunned!
For a moment, he had no idea what his father was talking about. He even wondered if his father was cheating him to talk such nonsense?
It's just that he still doesn't know that Wen Lan is not drunk, but drugged!
Although he didn't know anything at this time, one thing was almost certain: someone had set him up.
He knelt down in a panic, kowtowed again and again, and told him what happened to him tonight......
Zhu Changjue's wine tonight is indeed a little too much, and when he was drunk and hazy, a maidservant girl served him tea.
As soon as the maid raised her head, Zhu Changjue, who was looking at her, was fluttering.
It's not that the maid is so beautiful, the key is that the kneeling maid has a foxy face, and when she secretly sends Qiubo, her eyes full of charm also have a hint of longing and hope.
Then, the maid's hand shook, and a cup of tea turned over to the hem of his clothes. He was just about to get angry when the pair of snow-colored soft wattles had already rubbed against his clothes.
The maids who can come out to serve tea are all well-trained, and it is rare enough to spill the tea, how can you be reckless in stepping forward to wipe the guests?
Where does Zhu Changjue, who has read countless women, still not understand the meaning of this profligate hoof?
Zhu Changjue was condescending, seeing that the maid's figure was concave and convex, and the fragrance on her body was even more intriguing, and her actions were ......
Leaning over, she pressed almost her plump, soft breasts down to his knees, and her fingers grabbing the handkerchief scraped restlessly over his legs, so that he could not ignore them if he wanted to.
"The eldest prince wants to change his clothes?" The servant shook his leg slightly. "The slave can take the eldest prince to change clothes."
The intent and implication are obvious enough!
Zhu Changjue was originally good at this, and his interest was suddenly aroused, and his heart was in this lively place, when no one knew about it, it was also very interesting to have a wandering girl.
In this way, Zhu Changjue followed the maid to get up and go to "change clothes".
He brought three people with him at that time, naturally for his "good deeds". He is not afraid of being discovered, mainly because he is afraid of bad things.
The hooves carried Qiu Bo all the way, leading him to the guest house to receive it.
It was also a coincidence that as soon as they arrived near the guest house, they heard a knock on the door, and they subconsciously looked over, but no one appeared when the door opened.
Zhu Changjue's subordinates almost walked to the gate of the courtyard and probed, but they made a big discovery.
He saw that Princess Vinland seemed to be very drunk, and her henchman Green Qiao was thinking of moving her to the gate of the courtyard. The reason why she opened the door and didn't see anyone was because Lu Qiao didn't have enough physical strength, so she could only open the door first and then turn her back, she staggered, one step at a time, and there were nearly ten steps from the door......
Zhu Changjue's eyes deepened, and he suddenly stopped.
The maidservant tried to lead him to the western courtyard, but when she saw that he was not moving, she leaned in.
Zhu Changjue was suddenly annoyed and bored, slapped out, smashed a silver ingot, and ordered the servant to get out of the way before he counted to three.
The servant was kicked by his subordinates again, and he was so frightened that he crawled with him, grabbed the ingots and ran away......
"When the son saw the princess fall, where could he stand by and watch, he naturally went to help. But apparently Miss Green Qiao had misunderstood. The son didn't mean to spoil the princess's name, absolutely not! ”
Zhu Changjue is not a stupid person, he knows what to say is in his best interest.
At this moment, it seems that the maid is clearly a pit. deliberately brought him here, but he was well versed in his psychology, and he didn't make him suspicious at all.
Zhu Changjue suddenly remembered that at that time, this maid was only afraid of pinching the time, and said that the courtyards in the east were the best......
At that time, the princess was very drunk, holding a knife in her hand, and her son was afraid that something would happen, so she transferred someone over. Oh, by the way, my son also sent someone to find the imperial doctor. ...... that Imperial Doctor Shen can testify to"
Zhu Changjue took out a bottle of hemostasis from his body and scattered it to the emperor.
What he said was true, after he was frightened back by Vinlan's madness for the first time, he went to the imperial doctor and got a bottle of medicine. In order for him to really get close to Vinland, in case the other party makes another radical move, he can also have a way to deal with it......
The tracing continues.
The Imperial Doctor Shen admitted this, but Zhu Changjue mentioned the maid in his mouth, but the world evaporated.
The maidservants who served at the banquet searched and searched, but there was no such person at all.
The emperor swept Zhu Changjue again with a suspicious inquiry, which shows that it is very likely that this maid who took the eldest son to the guest house by such a coincidence was made up to get rid of the crime!
"How is that possible? The son didn't do anything, what's the crime? How can we get away with it? Why did you say that the son calculated Princess Vinland? Princess, what happened to her? Is there some misunderstanding? You have to tell your son what happened so he can argue with it, right? ”
Zhu Changjue was a little manic and slammed on the ground.
The emperor deliberately smashed the tea bowl to his lap, but he still looked ignorant.
The emperor had a headache, and all the evidence pointed to the eldest prince, but this guy's expression didn't look like a lie. Is this guy a great acting man, or is he really plotted?
The emperor gave Li Chun a gesture.
Li Chun stepped forward and briefly said what happened to Wenlan in the ear of the eldest prince.
Zhu Changjue woke up like a dream.
At this time, the head of the Jiang family knelt in front of the emperor and said that all the maidservants serving at the banquet tonight had been counted, a total of one hundred and eight, and there was no shortage of one.
The eldest prince bowed again.
He got it!
No wonder he felt calculated early in the morning, when he couldn't find the point that was calculated, it turned out that someone had dug such a big pit for him and was waiting for him.
"My son is so stupid? Would you choose such a stupid way to trap yourself? Haven't made it yet? Also made up a non-existent person to lie? Father, not son! Tonight's events are too suspicious, don't you think the evidence pointing to your son is too obvious?
That's right, his son is suspicious, but in addition to his son, the fact is that he is also suspicious! How can there be such a coincidence in this world, he doesn't appear sooner or later, but when the princess has an unbearable seizure, he appears and heroically saves the beauty when his son has already arrived at the door? Also, there are eight of these courtyards, which one of them can he choose, but he can choose next door to the princess? Or just a wall? Please also ask the emperor to take a look! ”
Naturally, the emperor wants to be discerning.
The eldest prince was temporarily invited out.
The subordinates of the Seven Princes knelt on the ground.
After a lot of coercion, nothing was found.
It's nothing more than their master taking a drunken nap, a normal condition. They were afraid of affecting their master's sleep, and they were careful not to make any noise during the master's sleep, perhaps because of this, they gave people the feeling that the courtyard next door was empty......
Several guests who had been drinking with Zhu Changqi before also proved that Zhu Changqi was indeed a little drunk too much, and they persuaded him to rest.
And his guards guarding outside the courtyard also proved that the Seven Princes were a little drunk when they arrived, and they passed on the soup and tea, and then the Seven Princes rested......
Although the Seventh Prince was in a hurry, it was Lu Qiao's testimony that was most beneficial to him.
Lu Qiao said that the Seven Princes were not suspicious. Because the Seven Princes and his people were passive from beginning to end.
She did the call for help, she locked the door, and even the people were knocked down by her master. Even during this period, the Seven Princes almost escaped. The Seven Princes have not taken the initiative from beginning to end, so it is definitely not the Seventh Prince's doing......
Lu Qiao said this in order to gain a wave of favor from the Seven Princes. After all, her future is a foregone conclusion, she wants to live well, and the male master can't be offended in the first place......
The emperor pressed his temple, and just as he was about to speak, he received news that several guards who were supposed to be guarding outside the courtyard of Vinland but had suddenly disappeared had been found.
There were three people in total, all of whom were bitten by a snake and fainted to death in a flower bush not far away.
When they were discovered, there were poisonous snakes with severed heads and tails at the feet of the trio. After some treatment, one of the guards woke up first, but did not give any useful information. It was only said that they were on patrol, and suddenly felt that something had fallen on his head, and before he could see clearly, he was unconscious. It is believed that his companion was also bitten while fighting a poisonous snake......
The imperial doctor examined the dead snake and found that the snake was not only highly venomous, but also fed with a fierce drug that caused excitement, so it was extremely lethal......
Obviously, the people behind the scenes were prepared.
However, at this point, it seems that there are many suspicions, but in fact, there is not much actual evidence at all. The emperor was in a very bad mood, but the queen was still outside asking to see him.
The emperor did not want to see her. But from the prince of the capital, he knew that the queen had already passed the word of mouth, and the prince's face was also to be given. The Emperor waved his hand, and the Empress came in.
The queen is menacing, and what she did is naturally to ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly and severely punish the real culprit. The queen meant something, and the emperor snorted.
"After the queen is finished, go back! I have already announced in public that I will entrust Wenlan's food, clothing, housing and transportation to the queen. At this moment, something happened to Wenlan, and the queen asked me to punish him severely, don't forget it first, if you don't take care of it, you won't be able to run away! ”
With this sentence, the emperor sent the queen away.
Father-in-law Yu secretly gave Li Chun a thumbs up, and secretly said that Jiang is still old and spicy, and the emperor is amazing!
The emperor must press the empress down there. If such a big incident happened, it is difficult to guarantee that the queen will not use this matter to fight, and use this opportunity to chase and beat the eldest prince fiercely, and bite hard.
If that's the case, there is absolutely no possibility of finding out the truth, but the eldest prince will be in an extremely disadvantageous state, and the queen will use all means to convict the eldest prince!
Therefore, even if the crown prince is a little wronged, the emperor must eliminate the possibility of the queen's interference from the source......
In this way, we can only wait for the testimony of the last two protagonists.
The Seventh Prince soon arrived, and when he was done, he was taken to bathe and change his clothes, so he appeared.
The Emperor asked him a few questions, and he continued as usual, seemingly neither aggressive nor assertive. At least on the surface, it's still a promise.
Of course, the emperor didn't hear any suspicions.
The sons grew up little by little, and they went through the emperor's various trials every day. If this son did this, it can only be said that his acting power is too strong, and everyone's eyes are too blind.
Therefore, the emperor neither believed that Lao Qi had this ability, nor could he admit that he had seen the wrong person, he believed that it was definitely not Lao Qi!
And the reason why Wen Lan hasn't been able to meet the emperor at this time is because after the seventh child is finished, Wen Lan's medicinal properties are still not over.
The doctor girl went to administer the needle, the imperial doctor went to prescribe the medicine, and prepared a cold water bath, and the multi-pronged approach allowed the medicinal properties of Vinland to be completely withdrawn.
And Vinlan still has many wounds on her body, because she has soaked in water several times, the condition of the wounds is extremely bad......
So, when Wen Lan knelt at the emperor's feet, the emperor was unbearable and extremely unhappy at the same time. At this time, Vinlan is like a soft-footed shrimp, almost dying, and its face is like white ash.
Such a bargaining chip, not to mention, and lost face, the emperor can only be comforted by his pleasant face.
"Uncle Huang, Vinland has no other requests, only two."
The first is the matter between her and the Seven Princes. The emperor naturally responded, at such a point, she is naturally the concubine of the Seventh Prince! In order to comfort her, the emperor also promised that he would not allow Lao Qi to take a concubine within five years.
And in the second one, Wen Lan bit Zhu Changan and Zhu Changjue.
She didn't know who was behind the scenes, but she just wanted an explanation.
She bluntly said to the emperor that she had a grudge against Concubine Zhao's mother and son, and there was a big fuss today, and they were very suspicious. And the eldest prince, because he has always been aggressive and wants to be unfavorable to her, almost forced her to death and forced her, and it is absolutely impossible to escape the blame......
She only had these two requests, but begged the emperor to fulfill them. Otherwise, she can't be at ease!
It's hard to settle! There is also a faint sense of intimidation!
The Emperor paced back and forth several times.
At this point, there are all doubts, but there is no solid evidence. The only point of pointing is also on the eldest and fourth.
He really couldn't find out anything, but here in Vinland, for the follow-up, in order to calm down, he still has to give an explanation. Maybe the queen and the crown prince also have to give a result, so be it!
The emperor shook his fist and responded to Vinlan, telling her to calm down for a while, and told her to rest well, and gave her a large reward......
After listening to everything, Cheng Ziyu was slightly speechless.
"How?" Li Chun asked with a smile.
On the surface, it seems that Zhu Changan and Zhu Changjue are the most suspicious. Wen Lan hates them, even if it is not them, but she has suffered such a big loss, how can she bite them, and it is in line with Wen Lan's temperament to be retribution. ”
"Do you think it's not them? Which one do you think it is? The Seven Princes? ”
"I thought it was useless, you all looked all over and didn't find any other evidence, didn't you?"
Cheng Ziyu played with the cup in her hand. "On the surface, it is the Seven Princes who have benefited the most, but in reality, it may not be, right?"
Cheng Ziyu and the emperor feel the same, and she also feels that Zhu Changqi is not so comprehensive.
"I think maybe the least suspicious, cleanest one is the last player!"
"Perhaps!"
Li Chun nodded.
……
In a courtyard in the northwest corner of the Jiang family's compound, there are servants who come to pay tribute.
"Master, the Seventh Prince brought a message, saying that the master was clever and wanted to see the master."
"Let him go! Let him just be a nodding friend with me for a while now! ”
"Yes!"
