The Xianwang Mansion is the largest, most luxurious, and most feng shui mansion in this dynasty besides the imperial palace.

Meng Hui returned to Sun Youyi's bedroom from the main hall where the princess lived, and walked for nearly half an hour.

Back in the dormitory, Meng Hui immediately asked Agarwood to go to the outer courtyard to invite a clever chamberlain. "I have something I want to send someone to do, and it's best to find someone who is not very inconspicuous and is very familiar with the situation in the capital."

Agarwood quickly said: "There is a little chamberlain named Duofu in the outer courtyard, although he is only eighteen years old, he has been on an errand in the palace for ten years, his mouth is very strong, and he is also clever and reliable. ”

"Okay, that's him." Meng Hui nodded and asked her to hurry up and invite someone to come. Seeing a group of maids busy in and out of the hall, her mind was not idle. She felt that the whole thing was starting to become clear, but it needed some key points to connect.

So Meng Hui closed his eyes and began to clean up the clues that were known now and analyze them briefly.

The conspiracy revolves around one thing, the throne. As for the beginning of the conspiracy, Meng Hui thought that it should not be Sun Yi'an's death, nor Song Ming's violent death, but the love between the two of them.

Someone in the DPRK had already proposed to let Sun Yi'an and the pro-Ulan State go, and it should have been two and a half months ago when the envoys of the vassal state set off.

From that time on, Sun Zhao was thinking about how to avoid becoming a foreigner's brother-in-law, squeeze out the eldest prince and the seventh prince to monopolize the reception task, and get the most out of it.

The eldest prince's personality is a little boring, he doesn't like to have a deep friendship with anyone, he looks a little withdrawn but not a yin owl, he is calm, and when he hears that he is going to receive envoys, most of them will choose to take it seriously rather than take the opportunity to make trouble.

The Seventh Prince is young and has no ability to make decisions on his own for the time being, and when he encounters such an important matter, he must listen to the opinions of teachers, staff and concubines. As long as these people don't want their heads to move, they won't provoke the Seventh Prince to make trouble at this time.

This caused the two parties to quickly put away all kinds of small actions, trying to pretend to be brothers, friends and brothers, and unwilling to fight in front of the envoys.

"If the two of them don't make small moves, Sun Zhaoke can't wait." Meng Hui closed his eyes slightly, supported his chin with one hand, and pinched the tea bowl with the other and thought, "He can't just watch the envoy arrive, so take Sun Yi'an away smoothly." ”

If Sun Yi'an can stay in the capital and find a suitable colt, he will be able to help him in the future. If it is transported to Ulan like goods, not only will it not be able to create benefits for him, but it will also have an extremely bad impact.

Therefore, when the courtiers mentioned that Sun Yi'an should be reconciled, she became a half-useless pawn in Sun Zhao's hands.

Seeing the envoys of the vassal kingdom leaving, but the eldest prince and the seventh prince were rarely calm, Sun Zhao must have felt that he had no idea what to do. The closer the envoy got to the capital, the more he could feel that time was pressing. ”

More than ten years ago, five-year-old Sun Zhao was able to kill for a little thing, and more than ten years later, he could also squeeze the last trace of Sun Yi'an's value in order to achieve his goal.

"Sun Yi'an was killed, and the suspects were the eldest princess and the seventh princess's mother, which happened to kill three birds with one stone. can not only drag the two princes, but also not compete with him for the reception task; can untie the dead knot of harmony and kiss, so that he will not have an extra brother-in-law of Ulan Country for nothing; At the same time, he can also use the death of his sister to win the emperor's mercy. ”

Sun Zhao's abacus crackled, and even an excuse to persuade Concubine Liang was ready.

When he thought of Concubine Liang, Meng Hui felt a very conflicted mood.

"Poor people must have something to hate, this is really appropriate for a good concubine!" When Sun Zhao was not born, Sun Yi'an was also her favorite person. "But in order to help his son succeed, he can sacrifice his daughter ruthlessly, what's the use of regretting it now?"

Meng Hui didn't want to judge Concubine Liang's choice, let alone try to understand her, so he shook his head and put aside the things about her, and continued to think about the case.

"This case seems to be difficult to solve from the beginning, but is it really so difficult that even professionals can't find out? What haven't you seen the old driver of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department? I think it boils down to the fact that they don't dare to go deeper! ”

Meng Hui knew very well that she had a few catties and taels, and she could piece together a general truth from these small clues, and of course those case-handling personnel could do it.

The conversation between the two officials that Coral overhears is limited to the mystery of the secret room, and does not mention the murderer, the cause, or any details about the case.

Meng Hui felt that there were only two possibilities, one was that the case was unsolvable, and they couldn't find the real suspect; The second is that the identity of the suspect makes them have scruples, and they can't mention it in private.

"All kinds of details and clues prove that the mastermind behind the scenes is Sun Zhao. Before the situation is clear, rashly offending Sun Zhao is definitely not a smart choice, who knows if the throne will fall to him one day? ”

These officials also have to drag their families and families to mix in the capital, and instead of offending Sun Zhao, it is better to have a reputation for incompetence from the emperor. At least they know the current emperor very well, and they know that he will not ask them for their heads because of this matter.

Therefore, these investigating officials simply pretended to be half-blind and only tried to solve the mystery of the mystery of the room itself, and did not care about what was going on in the whole case. Such a declassification without beginning and end, of course, will not be able to close the case for a long time.

"Moreover, the emperor may not be willing to 'know' the truth, right?" Meng Hui suddenly thought that when she first entered the palace, the queen had asked her if the two suspects she had found were ridiculous. At that time, she didn't think there was anything to laugh at, but now that she thinks about it, doesn't this mean that the queen has seen through everything a long time ago?

"Since the queen's door is clear, how can the emperor have a black eye! As the king of a country, if you can't figure out what is under your nose, I'm afraid you will be pulled off the horse a long time ago! "But why didn't the emperor move for a long time, let Sun Zhaoman jump up and down in the world, and let him go to receive the envoys?

"Could it be that Sun Zhao is ruthless, unjust, and vexatious, which just meets the emperor's requirements for the prince?" Meng Hui shook his head amusedly, afraid that a fool would hand over the country to a person with a broken outlook.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Meng looked back to see that Agarwood was walking respectfully from outside with a white and fat young man.

"Little Duofu, please say hello to the county lord."

Duofu's face is ordinary, and he does not look eye-catching, and he belongs to the type that cannot be found after being thrown in the crowd for a while. Meng Hui nodded in satisfaction and asked the low-level maids to retreat, leaving only agarwood and red sandalwood.

"There is a family surnamed Song in the south of the city, and there is a young man named Song Ming in the family. He had been a guard in the palace, and then he died suddenly, and I wonder if their family reacted to it. And ......"

Meng Hui paused, and involuntarily lowered his voice: "I want to know if the Song family has any connection with the third prince. ”
