There was silence all around.

Li Dan was a little incredulous, and thought for a while before saying, "Prince, what do you say?" ”

Li Longji sighed lightly: "Water and fire are ruthless, how was he rescued from the fire, although Aya didn't see it with his own eyes, he could learn from the mouths of the ministers present." If it weren't for the crown princess's decision, Er would not have stood in front of Aya at this time. How to be cautious on weekdays, everyone must be in their eyes, throughout the ancient and modern times, who has ever seen such a prince walking on thin ice? ”

Many courtiers chimed in. Song Jing was just about to speak, but was inadvertently stopped by Yao Yuanchong, and saw that Li Dan seemed to be touched by Li Longji's bitter tone, and he didn't speak.

At this time, Princess Taiping said proudly: "The prince is trapped in the fire, and who is the person who set the fire in the palace is two different things. The prince only needs to answer, whether what Ah Chang said makes sense. ”

Li Longji said obediently: "Ah Chang is very reasonable, but there is one thing that he seems to have forgotten. ”

Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows: "Oh? ”

"At first, there was only Xiao Jiangyuan in the fire, and the fire was so big, it was obvious that it was to kill people. I'm the arsonist, it's very likely, and since I'm already planning to kill Xiao Jiangyuan, why risk my life to save her? ”

"Arson doesn't have to be about killing, it can be about taking a blame. You ordered arson, and then went to save it yourself, so you thought that you could clear your suspicions, and blamed others for the crime of arson, so that the ministers thought that it was that person who wanted to kill Xiao Jiangyuan. In this way, Xiao Jiangyuan's identity can be imagined, there is almost no need to test, and you have also obtained innocence, isn't it killing two birds with one stone? ”

"My aunt has a point. Then I want to ask, Ah Chang, why are you loyal to me? ”

Ah Chang said: "Naturally, for the sake of glory and wealth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised the slave maid, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended to the ninth five, the slave and maid were the first person to serve the inside......"

Li Longji immediately rushed and said, "Aren't you now?" ”

Because Ah Chang is the personal servant of the Son of Heaven, his identity is naturally extraordinary, but because of his age and qualifications, he is still in the Inner Servant Province to receive the position of the fourth rank of the permanent attendant, and Yang Siqiao has a position. But when it comes to who is the first person to serve in the house, everyone will say that it is a chief. He holds the real power of the first person in the inner servant, but he does not have a legitimate name, and no matter how much real power the eunuchs have, he despises fame and fortune, after all, his identity is there, no matter how powerful he is, he will definitely not be able to fight the courtiers, only saying that this name will not be long after, the Son of Heaven will naturally give it to him, how could he take refuge in the prince for such a false name?

Not to mention the glory and wealth, he has reached the pinnacle that a eunuch can reach in history, what else can he do?

Ah Chang also knew that he was wrong, but he didn't know how to save it, so he had to say: "In short, it was the slave maid who was blinded by lard for a while, made such a big mistake, betrayed everyone's trust, and asked everyone to die!" And before the slave dies, the slave must reveal the truth to the world! Xiao Jiangyuan is a woman! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loved her very much in her early years, and this time she saw that her identity was exposed, and she was afraid that the beauty would not be protected and hurt herself, so she took advantage of the time when everyone locked up Xiao Jiangyuan and set fire to everyone! The slave is willing to die as a witness! ”

As he spoke, Ah Chang stood up and crashed into a pillar, but was pulled back by Yang Siqiao lightly.

He thought that he had said this, and even that he had already proved this matter with his own life in the heart of mortality, and the ministers should react a little, but he didn't want the ministers to watch him perform expressionlessly, as if they were watching a good show.

Could it be that you are acting wrong?

Even Li Longye frowned: "Actually, Ah Chang's move is powerful enough, but he is not fully prepared." What the third brother said was not right, why did he forget a little? As he spoke, he walked up to Ah Chang and said, "Let me ask you, how many days has Ah Yuan lived in Yeting Palace?" ”

Ah Chang said: "Three days." ”

"Who left these three days?"

“…… Everyone. ”

Ah Chang immediately understood. It turns out that the mistake is here! Xiao Jiangyuan was locked up for three days completely because of Li Dan's meaning, what did Li Dan for, he didn't immediately identify Xiao Jiangyuan, but had to lock her up first, the reason for this is so greasy, who can not see it?

Obviously, Li Dan was not sure of Xiao Jiangyuan's identity at first, for fear that he would make a mistake, but later he wanted to lure the prince over and get the stolen goods.

The prince will not be ignorant of this. If Xiao Jiangyuan is really a woman, it will be a catastrophe, if the prince really wants to kill people and destroy his mouth, or do something to blame the trouble, he must do it as soon as possible, but now he has waited until the third day to do it, is he not afraid that the saint will remember it in the first two days and directly examine Xiao Jiangyuan? After all, Xiao Jiangyuan is in the hands of a saint, and the saint's approach is often unexpected, everything is possible, and the prince can't afford to take this risk.

In addition, the prince almost died in the fire, so it is even more unlikely that he was the arsonist, which is obviously because Ah Chang is too slippery, and he blames it.

The ministers are not stupid, but sometimes it is difficult to be confused, and tonight is not that time.

Li Dan also came back to his senses, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at his sister, who he had always trusted very much, thoughtfully. Princess Taiping was also turning her eyes to look at him, and when she saw him looking at herself like this, she said a little sarcastically: "The saint is doubting me? ”

You doubt me, and I doubt you! I only asked him to scare Xiao Jiangyuan, where was he so stupid to do such a thing as arson and murder?

In the eyes of Princess Taiping, this kind of unbelievable thing is very much like Li Dan's handiwork.

After all, although Ah Chang was her person in his early years, he is now Li Dan's confidant. Ah Chang is a person, people are complicated, what he thinks, she is really not sure.

Li Dan said: "I didn't doubt you, I just ...... I really didn't let him do that......"

Li Dan's words were very pale and weak.

In fact, even if Li Dan really asked Ah Chang to do something, in order to maintain the reputation of the Son of Heaven and save her trust, Princess Taiping should take this matter, no matter whether she did it or not. It's a dumb loss, but she can only swallow it. That's why she was even more angry, but she couldn't open this mouth.

The atmosphere was a little frozen. At this time, Yao Yuanchong withdrew to block Song Jing's hand. Song Jing lowered his eyes, and at the same time stepped out, stood still and arched his hand to Li Dan, and said: "Qi Sage, the minister thinks that there is such a thing tonight, there are different opinions, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it makes the palace smoky, all because the identity of Xiao's inner servant has not been verified. It is better to choose the day than to hit the day, it is better to verify the body of Xiao Nei for today, one is sudden today, no matter who it is, it is difficult to prepare in advance, enough to prove his innocence, and the other is that this matter is imminent, if it is not verified, I am afraid that the East Palace will be unstable and the country will be unstable! ”

Yao Yuanchong immediately continued: "As for who is the arsonist, it doesn't really matter, no matter who it is, the purpose is nothing more than one - to kill Xiao Neishi, which shows that Xiao Neishi's identity is indeed suspicious." Tonight's incident can be handed over to Dali Temple to investigate slowly, but the identity of Xiao Neishi's servant can't wait a little longer, and it must be confirmed. ”

The voices of the ministers echoed one after another, and they were endless. Li Dan immediately understood that these courtiers thought that he had done the fire, and even their doubts about Xiao Jiangyuan changed from whether she was a woman or not to whether she was a man. Song Jing is just that, he didn't say that he must find out what happened tonight, it's already very good, and then look at Yao Yuanchong, it is clearly a tone to cover the Son of Heaven - what does it mean to "hand it over to Dali Temple to 'slowly' investigate"?

Isn't this just saying, okay saint, I know it's you, it's not good to spread this matter, just let Dali Temple drag it out, but Xiao Jiangyuan's identity must be verified, otherwise the arson will not be over?

Li Dan unconsciously glanced at his sister again. She must have asked Ah Chang to scare Xiao Jiangyuan, but Ah Chang's subordinates were unstable and made the fire bigger, this is good, she was angry, and she had a clear posture, but she left all the suspicions to him!

No matter how gentle Li Dan's temperament is, he can't bear it anymore at this time: "What does Taiping think?" ”

Princess Taiping looked at Li Dan in surprise, and with a turn of her eyes, she understood what Li Dan was thinking, she was angry and funny, and immediately said: "Test it!" Isn't it me who should be afraid? As she spoke, she set her eyes on Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan.

Ever since someone spoke for him, Li Longji began to remain silent, listening to what everyone said and brushing his thoughts. Recently, since Xiao Jiangyuan was imprisoned in the Yeting Palace, things have been very strange, and now they are developing like this, like a net, gradually tightening. In fact, this fire can't solve anything, with Song Jing here, Xiao Jiangyuan can't escape the physical examination, how dare she ......

Was she really prepared?

Li Dan looked at Li Longji: "What does the prince think?" ”

Regardless of the surging tide in his heart, Li Longji said with a smile on his face: "Obey Aya's orders." ”

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with this person who can't escape, at least she won't want to be a eunuch in the future. As for her life...... It's better for him to go to the table and give back the crown prince to the eldest brother.

It's not that he gave up, but he plans to retreat as advance, after all, the prince is the foundation of the country, how can he say that he can be abolished, Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing will still help him, so Xiao Jiangyuan's life still has a glimmer of life.

The palace people immediately cleaned out a single room. The ministers' side is naturally represented by Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing, Li Dan is the Son of Heaven, a symbol of justice and fairness, and the overlap of the forces on both sides. Li Longji and even Li Longye wanted to avoid suspicion, but Princess Taiping was not convinced, and she couldn't trust Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing, and insisted that her side also send someone in.

Song Jing said coldly: "If it's Cui Zuocheng, if it's a villain, I can't believe it." ”

Xue Chongjian, who hadn't shown up for a long time, stood up from Princess Taiping's side at this time and said, "I'll come." The prince is my cousin, and the princess of Zhenguo is my aunt, I will not favor anyone, I will only tell the truth. ”

Xue Chongjian's reputation is still excellent. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Dan agreed.

plus Xiao Jiangyuan, the four of them walked into the empty room at the same time in full view of everyone. The door closed and opened in a moment, and the truth was revealed—

Xiao Jiangyuan is a man.
