Chapter 326
Unless, that person really lured the wolf into the room, and the first emperor left that person with a follow-up move. Otherwise, even if there will be internal and external troubles in the Great Zhou, the world will not change hands.
Thinking about it this way, the emperor's expression was a little darker.
"I have my own arrangements in mind for this matter, and the inner court of the palace has always been controlled by me and my third brother, and the officials selected have also been carefully screened, but they are worthy of trust. Therefore, it is most appropriate to hand over the hidden stakes of others in the palace to the inner court. Whether the ministers of the DPRK and China are black or white, it needs to be investigated in detail by Dali Temple. ”
In the end, it is a person who has been in a high position for many years, even if he is suspicious, it is only a matter of a moment. At this time, he looked at his two imperial brothers, and his heart was very safe.
"As for Hua Xiang, I will personally ask why he avoided the Dong family back then."
At this time, his face was as usual, even with a little smile, but his tone was really not kind. Even if there is no doubt about the appearance of the flower in these words, it carries a little chill to some extent.
Although Hua Xiang and Hua Wuzhi were implicated in the murder of Ayidai, before the facts are clarified, who can guarantee that this is not their bitter ploy?
Under the current situation, as an emperor, how dare he easily trust his courtiers? You must know that the wisps of clues converged, all pointing to the high-ranking and powerful people in the imperial city.
If it weren't for their deep brotherhood, I'm afraid that even they would have to doubt each other.
And in addition to the three of them, the most powerful one at present is the flower phase. Of course, the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, if it was done by the remaining forces of the Dong family back then, it is not impossible.
With this tacit understanding, several people no longer bothered about the relationship between Xiao Jingzi and the person behind the scenes. Left and right, as long as that person still acts, there will always be another horse's feet.
"The interrogation of the palace maid who identified Hua Wu's disease in the inner court has resulted in results?"
When the emperor saw that Xiao Qinglang did not leave the case, his face immediately became helpless, he raised his hand and asked Liu Deming to send the confession to Xiao Qinglang, and said, "I have checked the meaning of the secret fold you sent, and the palace maid did look for the medical girl who was good friends with her to see her legs." Because the medicine woman received her money, she gave her some mutong and red peony that invigorated blood and relieved pain. ”
"Because she was treating the queen and the concubines at the same time, Na Mutong and Chi Shao stole it when they were grabbing medicine for the two of them, and the amount was not large, so the hospital couldn't find it in time. When I sent someone to check, after purchasing and comparing with the imperial doctor, I found that the two flavors of medicine were missing a penny."
If there is a lack of food in the imperial dining room, no one will investigate it. But the pharmacy of the hospital is different, not to mention a penny, even a penny difference pool can not be had. You must know that medicine can save people, but it can also harm people.
The people in the palace, except for the emperor is the prince and the concubines of the palace, which one is not noble? But if one of them is injured by the medicine flowing from the hospital, the hospital will not be enough to accompany the funeral.
After the interrogation of the inner court, the palace maid couldn't stand the pressure and confessed on the spot. When she was first assigned to serve by Ayidai's side, she thought she had a bright future. It's a pity that I have never canonized Ayidai, and at this time Ayidai was pregnant, because she was afraid of being implicated, and she was afraid that I would kill the palace people around Ayidai because of this, so under the persuasion of Ayidai, I helped her get Mutong and Chi Shao to have an abortion. ”
When she was in the Imperial Garden that day, she was also panicked for a while, and she wanted to escape from it, so she pointed out that the flower was disease-free. In fact, even the matter of identifying Hua Wuzhi was something she had already discussed with Ayidai. Because Ayidai bleed heavily after taking Mutong and Red Peony, making it look like a miscarriage, the two of them thought it was done. However, I was worried that I would be crowned favored by her recently, so I wanted to borrow someone else's hand and be seriously injured to avoid me. It's a pity that the harem concubines have never seen her because they are of different races, let alone hurt her. Just when the two of them were anxious, the palace maid happened to see the sleepy Hua Wuxian in the imperial garden, and she thought that Hua Wuxian was a quasi-county horse and the prime minister's concubine, so even if she hurt the princess, she would not be punished too much, so she notified Ayidai. ”
It's just that she didn't expect that Ayidai would die unexpectedly because of this. Just when she was panicking, Xiao Jingzi secretly told her that as long as she was sure that Hua Wuzhi killed Princess Heqin, the rest of the things would be dealt with by me. ”
Saying this, the emperor evoked a cold smile, "Just like Xiao Jingzi instructed Cao to inspect the official, the behind-the-scenes manipulator of this matter has become the one who wants to suppress the forces of King Qi and the prime minister." ”
"Has she ever seen someone unusual looking for Princess Ayidai?"
The emperor shook his head and said with a gloomy expression, "I asked the inner court to interrogate the palace people who served beside Ayidai, and they all said that they had never seen the man who pretended to be a eunuch as Hua Wuxian said. However, I have already gotten angry with the queen about this matter, she will investigate it in detail in the harem, no matter what, I will not allow anyone to provoke the royal authority under my nose! ”
When he said this, his gaze was deep and indiscernible with meaning. If there is a man who can enter and leave the harem at will, then maybe the thorn in the heart of his third brother, that is, the truth of the fifty-six years of the first emperor, will have traces to follow.
Xiao Qinglang nodded with a flat expression, pondered slightly for a moment, got up and said, "If there is nothing else, the younger brother will leave the palace first." ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "The Qingqiu Pavilion where you lived has been sent to clean it, and now that it is more than half of the time, why do you need to go back to the house overnight?" ”
Since the King of Qi and the King of Jing'an returned from the north and the south, when the three of them discussed political affairs, he often let the two stay in the palace every night. For the sake of convenience, he left the Qingqiu Pavilion and the Chunnuan Pavilion not far from the Council Hall for the two of them to rest.
In previous years, Xiao Qinglang often stayed overnight. It is convenient, and the three of them can say some words between brothers, and they can go together to say goodbye to the Queen Mother on the second day, which also makes the Queen Mother happy and happy.
And now, it's this hour, but he is going to leave the palace, which really puzzles him.
Xiao Qinglang coughed lightly, and said with a normal face, "If nothing happens, tomorrow will be a critical day to solve the mystery of the murder of the envoys, so the ministers need to go back to the house early to prepare." ”
Without waiting for his explanation to finish, he saw King Qi grinning and said, "What did the third brother say so high-sounding? I've heard Mingzhu say that you and that Miss Xu are more in love than Jin Jian, and you can't leave Meng Meng. If you want me to say, you must be worried that if you are not alone, there will be people in the capital who are not long-sighted to bully Miss Xu! ”
As soon as King Qi mentioned this, the emperor above suddenly realized, and he said thoughtfully, "It's really a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass, I really didn't expect that the third brother, who is called cold-blooded and ruthless, can also be so concerned about people."
Xiao Qinglang's expression relaxed slightly, and he didn't care about the ridicule of the two brothers, but raised his eyebrows and said, "Speaking of worrying, the younger brother remembered one thing, seeing that it was about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know if the singing skills of "The Pipa Story" that Brother Qi learned back then will still be?" ”
King Qi met his smiling eyes, and immediately blushed. How could he not hear that he was choking on himself? Others don't know, but the three brothers all know that in order to please the princess, they specially learned excerpts from the princess's favorite pipa records
Xiao Qinglang didn't wait for him to laugh, he directly looked at the smiling emperor with his sleeves folded, hooked his lips and smiled, "When I asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye the day before yesterday, I heard an interesting incident, which seemed to say that the emperor was scratched by a kitten raised by the queen's mother. I heard that the emperor was a political affair later, and he didn't even announce it to the imperial doctor, so he went directly to review the fold overnight with his injury? ”
When the emperor heard him casually mention this, his face immediately turned a little dark, and the blue tendons in his head jumped a few times visibly with the naked eye. Especially looking at his serious face and banter in his eyes, it made him even more annoyed and helpless.
Others don't know, but the Queen Mother knows where he has to deal with government affairs that night. Obviously, because the queen wanted to stay in the palace with the princess, she lost her temper with him, and she pushed him out of Fengluan Palace with his regular clothes, shoes and socks!
First, he was ashamed of the queen, and second, he felt sorry for the queen, so he slipped away to the imperial study. Is it possible that he wants to be angry with his childhood sweetheart wife for a foreign princess?
Besides, not to mention anything else, the tiger's fists and feet of her own queen may not be able to compete with the concubine of the former Great Zhou God of War, and her kung fu is not comparable to a three-legged cat like Mingzhu.
Thinking of this, the emperor glared at Xiao Qinglang in annoyance. Seeing that he was still looking at him with great interest, he immediately grabbed a fan and smashed it, and said like a fly, "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
Really, if he doesn't choke to death for a day, he won't be Xiao Qinglang for a day! The Empress Dowager always said in front of herself that there were three of them, but only Xuanzhi was the most well-behaved and sensible, and he was also the most distressing.
If the Queen Mother knew his ability to choke people when he opened his mouth, he would not say that again.
In the palace, Xu Chu had already fallen asleep.
Today's continuous autopsy, coupled with the restoration of the original appearance of the skull, and the screening of suspects with Xiao Qinglang overnight. At this point, she was indeed a little exhausted.
Fortunately, during the day, I found a lot of clues. Whether it is a cow finger bone, or a large dismantling of eight pieces, or the murderer's murder method, it is very clear. Even the suspicion of the murderer's murder, they have some guesses.
Now all that remains is to go to the designated slaughterhouse tomorrow to verify and confirm the identity of that person by the way.
As for the pressure on the envoys' side, after the princess Ayidai was found to be a virgin and pregnant, it was enough to make the envoys lose money.
The dark sky gradually shook away, the sky gradually revealed the fish white, the morning sun gradually rose in the haze, and the morning light also dispelled the silence left by the previous day's thunderstorm.
