In fact, as soon as the emperor arrived, the chief guard had already begun to investigate. Not only this place, but also the surrounding palaces. Even today, the actions of the guards in the entire palace have been scrutinized.

The palace gate was ordered at the first time that no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Now, it's finally coming to fruition.

A guard came to report and found two pieces of rope in a hidden corner of the side hall where the incident occurred. Judging by the length and location of the rope, it is likely that the gangsters escaped from the back wall through the ropes......

Cheng Ziyu lowered her eyes. In order to play this scene without loopholes, it was not easy for them to find two pieces of rope in the utility room, threw them to the other side of the wall, and stepped back and forth on the ground, making clues that were different from other places, and directing the emperor's attention to the gangsters' ability to walk around the palace unscrupulously, and to be familiar with the traces of various places in the palace......

And in fact, the group of people who really put down Cheng Ziyu and them probably left the gate openly with the cooperation of that grandmother, when Wen Qing went outside to hook up with the prince, right? ……

On the other side of the wall, however, there are three paths. Two of them shuttled between the walls of various palaces, and one turned directly onto the avenue, which was not easy to trace.

The guards brought in the hounds.

Through those bloodstains, the hound really found some clues.

In a flower bed not far from this side hall, a bag of broken porcelain buried not very deep was found. It was the pieces of flower pots that Gui'er had broken when she was fighting those who were plottering.

In order to let the prince enter the house with peace of mind, the other party had already cleaned and dealt with the outside. If you think about it, you can bury it nearby...... This clue is of no use, but it only confirms the truth of what Cheng Ziyu said and the truth of the prince's plot from the side.

Other than that, the trail is broken.

After some investigation, the chief of the guard and the chief of the dark guard said at the same time that the other party should not only be familiar with the palace, but also have a lot of experience in action. And their judgment is that if they can run rampant in the palace like this, the villain is very likely to be the person in the palace in the first place. Or they have long been placed in the palace, perhaps among the guards, among the chamberlains, or even among the palace maids......

Cheng Ziyu and the prince inadvertently looked at each other, and both of them saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

The current situation is very good.

The more arrogant and bold the other party is, the more daring he dares to kill, even the prince dares to dirty, and he doesn't even take the emperor seriously, the more he can't catch it, the more he doesn't even leave clues and goes without a trace, the more he can make the emperor nervous.

The emperor is jealous, afraid, and uneasy, and he will be haunted.

In short, it is a good thing that there is no evidence for this.

How could the emperor not have thought that his recent suppression of Zhu Changjue might cause him to backlash?

How could he not have thought that the concubine had controlled the harem for several months, which was enough to secretly cultivate and install a lot of people?

How could he not have imagined that the concubine fell to a high position, and the chess pieces of the dark cloth might not be used again, and might be rebelled or invalidated?

How could he not have thought that Zhu Changjue had also assassinated Cheng Ziyu before? Will this time be a comeback, a more vicious revenge?

How could he not have thought that that assassination was the same as today, in a certain sense, it was directed at Li Chun?

How could he not have imagined that except for Zhu Changjue, there were not many people who had the ability to lay out in the palace at all?

How could he forget that Cheng Ziyu just ignored the emperor and queen, and looked directly at Zhu Changjue, thinking of that glance full of deep meaning at this moment......

Cheng Ziyu knew very well that the emperor would never ask her who she suspected. Then, she took the initiative to prompt. The emperor is suspicious, and he will only continue to think more. In addition, he had intended to clean up Zhu Changjue before, and when the opportunity came, he would definitely be clean this time! ……

Of course, Cheng Ziyu thought more than the prince thought.

In this way, Li Chun's power can be greater. Everyone can feel that the heir is gradually entering the white heat, and the unknown dangers will become more and more, and the little opportunity she has about her past life will gradually become more and more useless.

Therefore, before the new emperor is established, she hopes that the forces that she and Li Chun can control will be as strong as possible. It's best to be so big that someone is not afraid of rebellion. And the palace, as the center of power, is even more so.

In addition, she also hoped that the emperor would be more vigilant. She hoped that the Emperor would stop playing with his balance. It is precisely because his attitude has always been too ambiguous that several princes have not stopped. While there are many advantages to doing this, the disadvantages are now unignotable. She just wants him to know that if he continues to play, the imperial power will be in danger.

No matter how powerful Li Chun is, he is also a foreign minister. No matter how capable the princes are, they also have a father on top of their heads. Therefore, as long as the emperor is willing to press, weaken, and act, it is a matter of course!

Of course, there is another reason.

In the previous life, in addition to the Queen Mother's Sword, it was a little inexplicable, and the speed of the emperor's collapse was also a little strange. The emperor doesn't seem to be poisoned, but how can he be described as withered in four years? There must be a reason in it. Therefore, in the situation that the emperor in this life has actually become the umbrella of her and Li Chun, she doesn't want the emperor to fall too soon...... At least not until the situation becomes completely clear!

Half an hour later, no suspects have been caught.

Even those artists who came to the palace to perform today have been checked one by one and have not found any problems. Several major teams are well-known in Gyeonggi, and it is not easy to hide from the world.

In this way, the chief of the guard is even more certain that those villains are hiding among the palace people, which can also explain that those people can avoid everyone's sight and disappear in the palace from the time they enter and leave.

can also explain that today's defense in the palace is twice as strong as in the past, but it is still exploited. I'm afraid that those people already have today's specific defense distribution, and even the patrol route of the guards, so that they can easily avoid the ears and eyes.

As for the secret guards, the main task is only to focus on the safety of today's banquet, and they are basically hidden in Cining Palace, and the changing place like the one where the crime occurred today is not within their scope of responsibility.

Of course, according to the time given by Cheng Ziyu and the crown prince, they found that at about the same time, someone fell into the lotus pond drunk at the banquet in Cining Palace; Someone had a tongue and argued so much that they almost got into a fight; The favorite corner of the queen mother of the troupe lost her costume, and after transferring a lot of palace guards to help rummage, she found that the costume ran to the beam of the dressing room at some point......

Although it seems to have caught a suspicious point at this moment, it was found that the guests who fell into the lotus pond were really drunk, and they were not sure whether their feet slipped or they were pushed; Several people were also provoked, and some people deliberately spread the word, causing misunderstandings. The troupe was even more innocent, and they thought that it was another troupe that came to perform that was deliberately framed, and the two groups of people were fighting with each other......

It seems that someone did it deliberately, but it is plausible and has no evidence. But such a trivial matter is enough to attract the attention of the guards and even too many people, and it is enough to distract the defense and even divert the tiger from the mountain......

And the little mess in the same period of time is not only in Cining Palace?

The prince's accident was in the changing place in the direction of Kunning Palace in the east of Cining Palace, but there were incidents in the northwest and south that were not big or small, and they just attracted the guards who patrolled nearby to help settle the matter.

Coincidental? Unbelief!

Evidence? No!

The emperor was even angrier. Obviously, someone's power in the palace has seriously affected and threatened him. It terrified him. Imagine if the other party's plan is successful today, how can he know that someone is so rampant? Such a disregard for imperial power? At that time, it will be too late for him to send the prince to clean up the mess, and who cares about these details? ……

Soon, Mama She was found.

It's just that she's a dead body.

It was found in a dry well that went to the back gate of Cining Palace.

Suicide or homicide?

Unimportant.

At the same time that the other party was exposed, it already meant that this grandmother who had been inciting Qing Concubine from the beginning would die. The mastermind is afraid that she will confess, and he must let her die.

This point, in fact, is in Cheng Ziyu's estimate.

It's not a pity that I didn't catch it alive.

Because there are also loopholes in the testimony of Cheng Ziyu and the prince. If this grandmother is caught, it will show their testimony.

So as the prince said, Qing Concubine is also dead, and the effect is better.

It is safer to die without proof. The lack of evidence is good for ensuring the credibility of their stories that have no other witnesses.

In terms of the overall situation, it is not easy to let this fire burn to Vinland and North Korea.

However, hearing that Mama She was dead, Cheng Ziyu still spoke.

"I heard it so well before, some people kept saying that they saw Mama She enter this side hall with their own eyes? If that's the case, how did she, a grandmother who doesn't know martial arts, is not young, and has a wide body and a fat body, climb over this nearly two-zhang high wall and run so far? ”

After her reminder, everyone remembered the bear nobleman who had been jumping outside the door of the side hall at the beginning.

Xiong Guiren, she was more than sure that she saw Mama She enter this side hall with her own eyes, and she kept saying that Mama She must have stolen Chang Guiren's peacock hairpin. At present, Mama She's body was found a hundred zhang away, and there was no peacock hairpin on her body at all, which shows that what Xiong Guiren said was untrue.

But what she said before, it seems that she has clearly a plan, even if she is not the culprit, it is an important part of all events today. Very evil!

At this moment, everyone searched, but found that the person was long gone. At this time, they heard a woman's cry for help.

The guards rushed out, and even the emperor was shocked and driven out.

In front of him, it was Xiong Guiren and Chang Guiren, and the two scuffled together.

It turned out that Xiong Guiren began to think about running away as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, and Chang Guiren, who had suffered a clear loss and a secret loss, had already hated him so much that he almost wanted to vomit blood, and almost all his attention was put on this good sister who used him.

So, as soon as Xiong Guiren wanted to retreat into the crowd, Chang Guiren went up and grabbed him.

"Sister, let's go inside and have a look, shall we?"

"Good sister, there are too many people in there. Inconvenience. ”

"Didn't my sister say that I had to help my sister get things back today no matter what?"

"My sister suddenly felt a little unwell in her abdomen, so she went to the next door to clean her hands first, and then she would be back immediately. Sister, you go in first. As he spoke, the Xiong Guiren came up to push Chang Guiren away.

Chang Guiren saw the alienation and impatience of Xiong Guiren, and naturally he would not let him leave easily.

"Sister, bear with me." Chang Guiren's hand grasped tighter.

The two nobles are familiar with each other, and at this moment, the other party's temperament has changed greatly, and they have confirmed what the other party thinks.

Xiong Guiren got a signal from an attendant not far away, guessing that the master had made arrangements for her, and she was in a hurry to find a way out, how could she have time to grind here.

With a look, a few minions she had brought with her squeezed up, surrounded Chang Guiren at once, and squeezed in the middle to help Xiong Guiren get out.

Chang Gui is extremely popular, how can he be willing to flee from the culprit and suffer alone.

But her hands and waist were secretly attacked by those minions, so that she couldn't hold people anymore. She was so ruthless that she simply pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and tied it to the waist of the bear nobleman.

Xiong Guiren was in pain, but he was afraid of attracting attention, so he endured it, and while continuing to retreat, he ordered those minions to stop Chang Guiren.

Chang Guiren figured out the sneaky psychology of those people, and knew that they only dared to secretly attack and did not dare to make a noise, so she was ruthless again, and rushed the hairpin in her hand to poke the eyes of the youngest and shortest palace maid who was about to pull her.

The little palace maid was startled and hid with her head.

As soon as the gap came out, Chang Guiren rushed over.

They all thought that she was going to rush out, and several palace people hurriedly went to stop her, but they didn't want her to just bend down and pick up the roadside flower pots, and then suddenly rushed out and smashed out at the feet of Xiong Guiren, who ran out a few feet away.

This smash was loud enough to make everyone nearby look at it.

In this way, Xiong Guiren's minions didn't dare to make a move, so they could only stomp their feet and let Chang Guiren fly out, pounced on Xiong Guiren who tripped over the flower pot and fell to the ground.

So, when everyone came to watch, the two were scuffling together. The two faces are scratched, the bun is scattered, the hairpin ring has fallen to the ground, where is there still a little bit of the dignity of the concubine. Especially the noble man Chang, he desperately hugged the waist of the noble bear, no matter how he pushed and kicked, he didn't let go......

The palace people pulled the two apart.

The emperor was just about to scold angrily, but Chang Guiren quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Xiong Guiren deceived his concubines, and his evil deeds were revealed to be fled, and he was discovered and caught by his concubines. The concubines did not dare to ask for atonement for their sins, but only asked for severe punishment for the culprit. "A naked invitation to credit.

Cheng Ziyu also glanced at this noble person.

It's a clever one.

She has a way to make Xiong Guiren inseparable. She can make a big deal early in the morning, and she can ask for help from the guards and even her own palace people early in the morning. But she did it herself.

She just let everyone see her embarrassment in their eyes, let everyone see her determination, and see the reality that she and Xiong Guiren are not in the same camp. She is using practical actions to minimize her punishment this time.

At this moment, she is a victim in everyone's eyes.

It's just a victim who was innocently used, but in the end got a little bit of merit.

As long as the emperor's anger towards her was reduced even a little, it was a good deal......

She's doing pretty well.

Sure enough, the current emperor put all his anger on Xiong Guiren.

Xiong Guigui and her palace people were all detained.

When Xiong Guiren's palace people were searched, one of the palace maids was found in the personal clothes of the Chang nobleman's peacock hairpin.

In this way, Xiong Guiren's evil deeds are already a certainty, and there is no power to refute them.
