Chapter 436

Thinking of this, he sneered and turned to leave. But at the moment of turning around, a wave of dizziness hit, and before he could react, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he was no longer conscious.

Before fainting, he smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that he was afraid that he would have to cause big trouble to his Xiao Chu this time.

Because he entered the palace for a banquet, he did not bring guards and secret guards. And the Lanzhi Hall was originally used to entertain guests, even if there were royal guards and palace people patrolling outside, they would not break into the palace, not to mention that the emperor would arrange secret guards here.

Therefore, if he was really calculated, I am afraid that those people designed it early on. And it will never be noticed.

After Xiao Qinglang regained consciousness, his first reaction was to sit up and want to check left and right. But the moment he got up, he found that the dark brocade robe he was wearing had been faded, and now only the wrinkled clothes remained......

His gaze turned down slightly, and he saw the quilt made by Shu Jin sliding up and down, and at the same time, he also revealed a woman with a delicate face and long breathing beside him. When his gaze fell on the woman's exposed round shoulders, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

However, what made his heart tighten even more was the smell of blood on the bed and on his body.

At this time, he didn't need to check, and he knew that this bloodstain could not come from his body. Looking at the woman beside her, her clothes were gone, her face was flushed, her expression was stable, and she didn't look like she was injured.

He felt a slight confusion in his mind, so he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and then subconsciously got up to get out of here. However, the moment he got off the ground, he noticed that there were so many blood stains spreading from under the bed that when he stepped on the boots on the ground, the white boots were stained with a dark red.

Xiao Qinglang frowned, and suddenly squatted down to check the situation under the bed, but that situation made him, who had not liked it for a long time, full of shock, and even his face was pale and frightened for a moment.

I saw that under the bed, there was a man with a short sword in his abdomen, and he had long been silent. And that short sword is exactly what he never leaves in his life, and it is also the fish intestine sword cast by Master Ou Yezi, and there is only one in the world.

He stared at the face of the dead man closely, and he didn't know how much turmoil he felt in his heart. How could this be, no matter how ruthless that person was, how could he let the three princes who had been expelled from the imperial city re-enter the palace, and how could he let Liu Yun, the daughter of Liu He, a former inspector who had long been married, appear in the harem out of thin air?

Just when he was about to check what was going on, he suddenly heard a quick knock on the door, and then heard a palace maid say: "Mrs. Yan, the emperor and the queen mother asked you to go to the Lanzhi Hall to show the blessing map of the auspicious sky from the sky." ”

After a while, the palace maid did not see anyone answering, and the knock on the door became even more urgent.

"Mrs. Yan, open the door quickly. The emperor specially summoned Yan Gongzi to enter the palace before, and now he is already in Lanzhi Palace......" She knocked and pushed the door hard.

The door hadn't been inserted from within, so with a little force, she opened the scarlet door. She looked over and saw that there seemed to be a figure behind the screen, so she urged and bypassed the screen to see what was going on.

Just as she saw what was happening behind the screen, the urging came to an abrupt halt, followed by a scream of horror, "Kill someone, kill someone......

In the inner palace, there were already Praetorian Guards patrolling outside, and when they heard her shouting at this time, they naturally didn't dare to be careless. In just a moment, Xiao Qinglang heard a sound of neat and extremely fast footsteps outside the side hall, followed by a group of Praetorian Guards lining up in two teams.

"Lord Wang?" The Praetorian Guards led by him obviously didn't expect that the so-called murderer turned out to be King Jing'an, and he immediately looked at Xiao Qinglang with an uncertain expression with some uncertainty.

Xiao Qinglang got up, ignored the surprised and stunned gazes of others, and went straight to pick up the dark brocade robe that had been thrown down from the floor in the room and put them on one by one.

And at this time, the woman on the bed also woke up with a sigh. She glanced at the roof a little blankly, then rubbed her forehead and sat up, but the moment she sat up, her delicate flushed face faded directly from blood and turned pale.

"Ah......h She looked at Xiao Qinglang in a hurry, and then at the cold-faced and expressionless Praetorian Guards, and two lines of tears fell. "Lord Wang...... This, this, this...... I also begged the prince to let them step back first. ”

Xiao Qinglang glanced at her coldly, and sneered: "I'm afraid this won't work, after all, at this time, this king is a murder suspect, and he is also a suspect in raping Mrs. Yan Shao...... Ho ......"

And the palace maid who bumped into all this at the beginning, her face was like earth at this time, and she didn't dare to look behind the screen, so she staggered and escaped. In a panic, he rushed directly into the Lanzhi Palace, and then broke the scene of Yan Yan Yan with a smile, just trembling and kneeling on the ground and repeating back and forth: "Killed, King Jing'an killed someone...... The prince killed...... Kill the three princes......"

After saying that, she broke down and cried, obviously overfrightened, and lost her sense of proportion for a while.

When the Queen Mother, who was a little tired, heard this, she only felt a palpitation, and then fainted on the spot.

The scene became chaotic for a while, and even the singer and dancer Himeno below was instantly silenced, lest she be implicated under the emperor's wrath.

Xu Chuer got up, bit his lip with a worried expression, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I'm ...... The minister begged the emperor to allow the minister to go to the autopsy. ”

At this time, she naturally had no way to continue the banquet as Xiao Qinglang's quasi-princess. In addition to the title of the quasi-princess of Jing'an, she is also the Dali Temple Temple where the three law divisions serve. Although the official position is not high, he is also qualified to conduct an autopsy and investigate the case.

The emperor looked at her with a solemn expression, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at Liu Deming and said: "Let people take King Jing'an to the warm pavilion of the side hall where the incident occurred first, and take care of him, without my will, no one can see him." In addition, let the Praetorian Guards surround the Raneige Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission. ”

"In addition, I sent someone to Dali Temple to pass the decree to the inner court, and asked Tang Qiaozheng and Lou An to bring the inspectors of the three law divisions into the palace to assist Lord Xu in investigating the case. This case is handed over to Xu Chu of Dali Temple to be fully responsible, and if necessary, he can act cheaply after cutting first. ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he hurriedly gathered his broad brocade sleeves and stepped forward and saluted: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Just when Liu Deming went to deliver the decree, the imperial doctor also came in a hurry, and after diagnosis and treatment, the queen mother came to her senses, but she no longer looked like Kangtai before.

The emperor felt uncomfortable, but it was not suitable to comfort the queen mother at this time, so he could only hand his queen a look, and hand over the queen mother, Princess Qi, Mingzhu and other female dependents to the queen to take care of.

It wasn't until the queen had left with a few ladies that he squinted and said coldly, "I want to see what kind of ghost dares to do evil under my nose." ”

Just one sentence is not heavy, but it makes everyone feel the majesty and oppression in their faces. Probably, he was provoked by someone, so that at this time, even if he didn't bleed thousands of miles in anger, he still had a state of not being angry and arrogant.

Seeing his cold eyes, King Su couldn't help but turn pale for a moment, and then opened his mouth but didn't say anything. It can be seen that he is also very panicked at this time, and he doesn't know how to deal with the scene at this time.

However, when Xu Chu heard this, he was slightly relieved. In other words, up to now, the emperor still trusts Xiao Qinglang, and he is not so angry that he loses his reason and judgment because the deceased is the third prince who was demoted to a concubine.

Xu Chu got the will, and he didn't stay any longer, got up and asked the palace maid who was still trembling with tears on her face, and asked, "You can tell me in detail about what happened just now." ”

This palace maid, Xu Chu is actually no stranger. Just at the banquet, when everyone was talking and laughing, the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned that a few days ago, there was an auspicious omen in the land of Jizhou, and Yan Ruming, the son of the prefect of Jizhou, and his wife Yan Liushi also took advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to return to Beijing to offer treasures.

And it happened that after the third prince was demoted to a concubine and expelled from the imperial city, he went to Jizhou City to make a living. This time, the queen mother thought that since King Su was allowed to enter Beijing, and she couldn't be surrounded by children and grandchildren when she was on her birthday, she also asked for the emperor's will and allowed the three princes to return to Beijing to celebrate her birthday.

So by chance, Yan Ruming and the third prince walked together. Moreover, because of the three princes, Yan Ruming, who should have offered the treasure in the future, was known to the Queen Mother early on, and ordered someone to bring Mrs. Yan into the palace to see the so-called blessing map made by the sky.

At the banquet, the queen mother saw that the emperor was in a good mood, so she specially asked a palace maid in the palace to look for Mrs. Yan Shao, and asked her to bring the treasure map into the palace to display.

Unexpectedly, without a cup of tea, the palace maid not only did not call Mrs. Yan Shao to go, but even ran into a murder case.

"The slave maid didn't know, the slave maid just knocked on the door, and no one answered inside, so she pushed the door and went in by herself......" The palace maid said, wiped a handful of tears, choked up, "Who knows, as soon as the slave and maid bypassed the screen, they saw the prince...... I saw that the prince was withdrawing his outstretched hand, and the three princes on the ground were covered in blood......"

As she spoke, the tears flowed even more fiercely, and her legs were so weak that if she hadn't been supported by someone, she was afraid that she would have run out of strength to walk by herself at this time.

"The slave maid also saw that the prince was not wearing a robe, but only a profane dress, and there was a woman on the bed......" After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Chu and cried, "The slave and maid don't know what's going on, it's obviously Mrs. Yan's room......"
