The emperor's face was ugly, and his eyes showed a little unbearable and heartache. He took a deep breath, stepped forward and frowned softly, "Concubine De, you go back to the Yang womb first, and I will go over to see you later." ”

Who knows, Concubine De didn't agree, but hugged her son's body tightly.

Seeing this, Xu Chu, who was the closest, was also very uncomfortable. She has seen too many scenes of life and death. Every time a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, it makes people feel even more sad.

She pursed her lips and sighed, and after a while, she whispered: "Niangniang wants to mourn, the most important thing at this time is to help the three princes avenge their grievances, and find the murderer as soon as possible to comfort the spirits of the three princes in the sky." ”

Seeing that she was holding tweezers and a post-mortem knife, and then looking at her appearance, Concubine De immediately dragged her son's corpse in horror and waved her hand: "You get out of the way...... Get away, Hugh is going to touch the son of the palace......"

Seeing her so stunned, although the emperor was sad in his heart, he could only admonish in a cold voice: "Concubine De, what are you doing, don't hinder the investigation of the case by the Three Law Divisions." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she glanced at him, and said with a sad look in her eyes: "Your Majesty, is there no one else in the Three Law Divisions?" Not to mention that the concubine knows, the murderer is King Jing'an, and there is nothing to quibble about. Let's just say that at this time, the concubine took a step back and let people investigate the case again, so it shouldn't be that this person who dissected the corpse should come to examine Huan Rong......"

"Your Majesty, how tragic Huan Rong's death was, can you still bear to let him die without a body, and be blasphemed and insulted by a woman after death?" Concubine De said, and kowtowed deeply on the ground, and the white forehead was instantly touched with blood. However, she seemed to be completely unconscious, desperately begging, regardless of her manners, her face, and even her undisciplined pleas.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "I have already said that even if Lord Xu investigates the case, he must not dissect Huan Rong's body......"

How do you know that when Concubine De heard this, she had no intention of letting go, her eyes were red and she said: "Your Majesty, the whole of the Great Zhou, including everyone in our harem, who has never heard of Lord Xu's reputation." If she really dissected Huan Rong, what would she do? ”

"Huan Rong has always had an old grudge with King Jing'an, and when Huan Rong forced several palace maids to death one after another due to drunken immorality, this matter was just an accident in the final analysis. As a prince, how can Huan Rong not let a few cheap maids serve? However, King Jing'an did not relent, and insisted on investigating to the end, and finally asked the emperor to abolish Huan Rong's position as the prince. Concubine De said with a sneer, "What about now? The legendary King Jing'an, who is clean and self-conscious, raped a married woman and killed Huan Rong, who broke the scandal, what do you let the concubines think, how can you let the quasi-princess of King Jing'an check Huan Rong's body again? ”

"Not to mention how she will perform the autopsy, what if she finds a scapegoat in the future?"

At this time, Concubine De is like a person who has been forced into a desperate situation and rises up, and she can't wait to bring King Jing'an to justice now. Even if it is skinning and deboning, it is difficult to solve the hatred in her heart.

"Huan Rong is in the palace, except for King Jing'an, who else can ask for his life? Even if someone had the intention to harm him, how could they kill him with the short sword given by the emperor? Concubine De's accusation choked up several times, crying blood every word, where is there still a concubine who looks like a concubine?

The short sword was personally rewarded by the emperor at Xiao Qinglang's southbound feast, and Concubine De, one of the four concubines who had attended the feast that day, naturally recognized it. What's more, at that time, in order to show the royal brotherhood, the queen mother, who was born in Jiangmen, also deliberately explained the origin of the short sword, in order to show the importance of Xiao Qinglang today.

In the side hall, there was silence, only Liu Yun's sobbing and Concubine De's questioning. For a while, it was powerless to refute, even Xu Chu could only purse his lips at this time and didn't know where to defend Xiao Qinglang.

The emperor's expression became worse and worse as she reprimanded, his face was as dark as ink, and the grief in his eyes was mixed with anger and surging. That is also his son, even if he is reduced to a commoner, but it is also an imperial technique performed under the imperial power. The position of the prince is unshakable, Huan Rong committed a taboo in the palace at the beginning, and there is indeed a violation of the law, but the deeper reason is that he secretly formed a party and wanted to cause a storm in the court.

Therefore, under the addition of the two, there is his sentence "the prince breaks the law and the common people", and naturally there is the first prince in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be demoted to the common people. However, even if he gave up Huan Rong, he was still thinking about him in his heart, otherwise how could he secretly send someone to escort him to Jizhou, and send someone to warn the officials in Jizhou to act respectfully several times?

And this time, he acquiesced to the Queen Mother's summoning Huan Rong back to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, not necessarily because he was soft-hearted, and wanted to give these three sons a chance.

However, he didn't expect that before he could find the Queen Mother's thousand-year-old banquet, Enzhun Huanrong returned to the capital, and he first heard the bad news that Huan Rong was killed.

But what can he do?

It was his parents who died, but the biggest suspect was his third brother who had been cared for since childhood. What's more, deep down in his heart, he also has doubts about this matter, but he has no clue until now.

Thinking of this, his eyes looked coldly at Yan Ruming, who was being held, and his expression was like looking at a dead thing.

His heart was tumbling, and he felt that his third brother would never sit down and do such an inhumane thing. But on the other hand, there is also a slight suspicion, could it be that the third brother really hated because of love, and then thought about Liu Yun indifferently? After all, when Liu Yunyuan got married, the third brother was decadent for a long time due to emotional injuries, and even did not participate in any banquets since then......

Just when the emperor was silent, Concubine De suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you don't look down on the concubine and Huan Rong. The existence of the concubine and Huan Rong has always been an obstacle between you and the queen, but now that Huan Rong is dead, can't you pity the poor concubine. The concubine didn't ask for much, she just hoped that Huan Rong would not be desecrated by a woman after her death, how could she not do it? ”

"In the final analysis, Xu Chu is a pariah, even if he enters the official register, his background and gender cannot be changed. The old people all said that a woman's yin qi is heavy, if she examines it, how can Huan Rong be stained with yin qi and ascend to Elysium? "The excitement that Concubine De said, although it was a little incoherent, was better than the excitement before." No matter what kind of ability the concubine has, whether it is a female official of the Yin Division, or what is the king of Yama, in short, she can't touch Huan Rong. ”

As she spoke, she suppressed her grief, kowtowed deeply, and said sadly: "The concubine is such a son, and now that he has an accident, there is no hope for the concubine in the future." As long as the emperor promised his younger brother to protect Huan Rong's body and let him enter the earth with dignity, the concubine was willing to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a long time. If the emperor insists on letting a woman check Huan Rong's situation, then the concubine would rather not agree, the concubine is not a pity to die, but the concubine's father has worked hard for the court all his life and has not even left one more son and a half daughter to inherit the family business, and now his only grandson has been killed, if he knows that his grandson will be despised after his death, how can he be chilled? Your Majesty, please think twice about ......"

It is not so much that she is threatening the emperor at this time, but rather that she is advancing by retreating. But even if she is retreating, she really has a little determination to break the boat, so that people can see the determination in her eyes without thinking too much.

If today, the emperor really asked Xu Chu to conduct an autopsy, I am afraid that she would really be able to kill herself on the spot like the third princess.

Although the emperor does not have too special feelings for Concubine De, she is also a concubine who has accompanied him for many years after all. What's more, he really couldn't ignore the old minister's heart, so after a few thoughts, he looked at Xu Chu and said, "Later, Cao Xianguan and others will come to inspect Huan Rong, and Lord Xu will guide him on the side." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Chu couldn't say anything else, so he could only bow his head.

Never before, she had felt so powerless. But now, she suddenly felt that her gender was such a big barrier. actually made her unable to clear up her grievances for Xiao Qinglang in the first place.

She smiled bitterly in her heart and glanced at Concubine De and the third prince who had been dragged to the side, and said in her heart If she was a man, wouldn't the scene be ruined by the excited Concubine De?

But no matter what she thought, at least in front of Concubine De, who was eyeing her, she didn't dare to step forward and touch the corpse. Because she was worried, worried that Concubine De would run out of jade under her impulse, and even more worried that she would inadvertently erase more clues.

At this time, all Xu Chu could do was to wait quietly, and by the way, try to connect everything in his heart.

Who set up this matter?

Is it the real King Su who is hiding behind the scenes, or is there someone else? 、

No, it won't be the King of Su who wants to control everything behind the scenes. King Su did so many things, all of them were to take revenge on the royal family, so that Emperor Chengzong and even the current emperor lost face, he wanted to trample people under his feet, bow to him, and let those enemies he thought fall into the dust, and there was no possibility of turning over. However, his ultimate goal, of course, is also the throne.

If this is the case, it is impossible for him to frame Xiao Qinglang at this time, especially when Xiao Qinglang finds out the inside story that the person behind the curtain wants to reveal. If it was King Su who was hiding behind the scenes, then he should be happy to see everything Xiao Qinglang found out at this time, and even pushed Xiao Qinglang and himself to expose the improper bloodline of the two generations of emperors of the royal family.

But the current situation is that Xiao Qinglang is under house arrest and is not allowed to enter and leave the warm pavilion at will, let alone continue to investigate the case. Even, it is likely that the future will be lost.

If the three divisions change the power at this time, then the things they have been pursuing may be forever gone.

But if there are others, what is the purpose? Such a premeditated trap can never be a whim, since it was planned in advance, it must be to cover up something.

Suddenly, Xu Chu remembered what she and Xiao Qinglang had just found out. Could it be that there are still people in this palace who know about the secret affairs of Emperor Chengzong and the first emperor?
