Chapter 52: Relating to the Palace

Zhou Ruian couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace, and his eyes deepened.

Within a few days, there was a major development in the case, it was discovered by Guan Youwei, the wound on Chen Hewu's neck was somewhat abnormal, this wound was a repeated injury, there was originally a blade that gave him a fatal injury, and then he was slashed again.

The neck is a fatal place, Chen Hewu was stabbed in the neck, it was enough to kill, and there was no need to cut another knife at all, but the murderer made up another knife after that, and Guan You made an autopsy for his life, and finally found a strange arc in the wound in the neck, which is not an arc that ordinary weapons can cause.

Embroidered spring knife.

The standard configuration of Jinyiwei is the embroidered spring knife, and it can even be said that this is the logo of Jinyiwei.

And this wound is extremely secretive, it is what the murderer tries to hide, it is something that is very likely to reveal his identity!

In this way, Zhou Rui'an's suspicion is even greater, this time Guan Youwei went directly to the door and arrested Zhou Rui'an!

Zhou Rui'an went with a calm expression, and when he heard Guan Youwei's words, he was not in a hurry: "Lord Guan asked me to explain, I actually feel quite wronged, and it is not only the embroidered spring knife A knife can cause arc-shaped scars, is it too hasty for Lord Guan to identify me based on this alone?" Could it be that Dali Temple decided the case like this? ”

"There are many weapons that can cause this kind of scarring, but the only one who has the ability to do such a heinous crime is you, Jinyiwei!" Guan Youwei said coldly: "Jinyiwei is listed as a suspect, the Holy Lord's will will suspend you for investigation, how can this official be disappointed as the Siqing of Dali Temple?!" ”

"Okay, you said that I did it by Jinyiwei, what is the motive? Just because of what Zhao Jiahe? I have been assassinated, but as for whether the person who assassinated me is still to be discussed, it is really him, I can arrest him on the grounds of assassinating the court officials, how can I declare personal vendetta and let people kill him to vent their anger? Zhou Ruian asked calmly: "Even if I want to take revenge, I have a hundred ways to deal with the Weiyuan Dart Game and leave him speechless!" ”

Guan Youwei's eyes shrank: "These officials will continue to investigate, but you, as the biggest suspect in this case, can only put you in prison first!" ”

Zhou Rui'an's expression suddenly changed: "You want to lock me up?" I'm afraid you don't have the ability! ”

"In front of the laws of Dajing, everyone is equal, that is, the prince is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that you are only the commander of the brocade clothes? You killed the people of Dajing, despised the king's law, and today this official will be the master of the people! Guan Youwei said sharply.

Zhou Ruian looked at Guan Youwei coldly, exuding a cold aura all over his body, Guan Youwei's heart trembled, but he didn't avoid his eyes.

"It's so funny that Master Guan wants to make decisions for the people just by virtue of a knife mark!" Zhou Ruian sneered: "I'm still the same sentence, if you have evidence, you can come and arrest me, if you don't have evidence, don't want to slander me!" ”

Zhou Rui'an turned around and left, the officials of Dali Temple immediately surrounded them, Zhou Rui'an's majestic gaze swept over them, and he glanced back at Guan Youwei: "If there is evidence, you can go and ask the saint to decree, I, Zhou Ruian, have nothing to say, otherwise, your little Dali Temple, can't keep me!" ”

After Zhou Rui'an finished speaking, he strode out, and the yacha was shocked by his momentum, but he didn't react, and watched him leave.

When Zhou Ruian returned home, Jiang Qingyue had already heard the news and hurriedly came to see him, of course, with Chen Xiu'er.

Zhou Rui'an saw Jiang Qingyue, his eyes softened, and he said with a smile: "Guan Youwei takes me once, and you can take the initiative to come to me once, but it's worth it." ”

Jiang Qingyue frowned: "What the hell is going on?" Is someone deliberately framing you, why is it so coincidental? This step by step is obviously aimed at you! Didn't you say that Guan Youwei has some skills in investigating cases, why do I look at it like a fool? He couldn't even see something so obvious. ”

"This Guan Youwei has a prejudice against me, this is also a matter of no choice, Jin Yiwei is doing things that offend people, he has a year old, the relationship between the two is very good, and later he was involved in the official and was arrested by me, he has always insisted that he was innocent in the same year, but at that time, the evidence was conclusive, and the person was distributed, and he died of illness within two years, so Guan Youwei had a personal grudge against me, and of course he would be hostile to me." Zhou Ruian said.

Jiang Qingyue was speechless for a while, and she sighed: "No matter how you look at it, I think you are dead this time!" ”

"Brother Ruian!" Suddenly, the voice of Princess Ningyang came from outside.

Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Rui'an playfully, "But maybe, isn't there anyone who thinks you're good?" ”

Zhou Ruian glared at her fiercely, this little conscienceless.

At this time, Luo Bei walked in with a panicked face, "Master, just now Princess Ningyang went to smash Dali Temple!" After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Qingyue meaningfully.

Look at Princess Ningyang, although she is messing around, but it's really good to be their master! Look at Jiang Qingyue again! Hum!

Zhou Ruian sighed: "Come on, it's even more troublesome now." ”

As if to confirm Zhou Rui'an's speculation, soon a eunuch came to the palace to spread the word, and the emperor announced that Zhou Rui'an had come to see him.

Zhou Ruian changed his clothes and followed the conditions into the palace.

Emperor Xuande is forty-two years old this year, which is the peak age of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his facial features are somewhat similar to Zhou Rui'an, and he is also a majestic and handsome face.

Zhou Rui'an saluted, but Emperor Xuande did not let him get up, but said lightly: "Today, Ningyang came to me and asked me to marry you and her, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Ruian clenched his fists with both hands: "Your Majesty! The princess is noble and innocent, but she is from the same family as the minister, it is not suitable to marry, and the minister does not dare to climb high, please think twice! ”

Emperor Xuande stared at him deeply, in fact, the matter of marriage between the same clan is not a taboo in their Zhou dynasty, the Zhou family was originally unveiled after the grass for the Kou uprising, laid down thousands of miles of country, at the beginning of the fortune, there were no fewer such examples, but after the development of such things gradually decreased.

Zhou Rui'an used this as an excuse, but he was smart.

Zhou Rui'an lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the ground, he felt Emperor Xuande's eyes falling on him, like a man's back, he couldn't do anything, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything casually.

"Get up." After a long time, Emperor Xuande spoke lightly.

Zhou Rui'an stood up, still straightening his back, and Emperor Xuande couldn't suppress a wave of disgust in his heart when he looked at him like this, as if he saw the figure that made him look up many years ago.

The first emperor of that year, there were so many princes, and there was no shortage of smart and clever people, but the first emperor's eyes were only on the body of King Jin, and it seemed that in his eyes he only had such a son.

When other emperors were suspicious of each other with their sons, so that the father and son were out of harmony, the first emperor never had such concerns, he did not hide his intentions, he would pass the throne to the king of Jin, and cut off the thoughts of other princes.

At that time, the King of Jin was also like this, with a straight back, bright eyes, and a rebellious face, which was the pride of the King of Jin.

So it was with his son.

Emperor Xuande thought of the second prince, after the second prince came back from Liuzhou this time, the queen was extremely distressed, and the ministers of the court praised the second prince's behavior this time, and even said that he was a tiger father without a dog.

He also felt a little relieved in his heart, but when he saw Zhou Ruian in front of him again, that relief became insignificant.

"What do you think of the second child's performance in Liuzhou this time?" Emperor Xuande asked.

Zhou Ruian did not hesitate: "His Royal Highness is a fledgling, although he is a little rusty with military affairs, but the second prince is very intelligent, and his performance is also remarkable, especially when facing the Tartars, when he was held hostage, he was still calm and calm, maintained the dignity of the prince, and also maintained the face of the saint. ”

But what if it compares to you?

Emperor Xuande almost asked this sentence, but he still didn't say it, because he was the emperor, and his son didn't need to be compared with a dying person!

How about the first emperor and then the king of Jin? The king of Jin is still dead, and he is now on the throne; No matter how good and smart Zhou Rui'an is, he is just a grasshopper in his hands, and life and death are up to him.

Thinking about it like this, Emperor Xuande's expression softened a lot, "There is also the matter of the treasure, are you sure that the treasure is fake?" ”

Zhou Rui'an had a strange feeling in his heart, he always felt that Emperor Xuande was referring to the treasure at this time, but when they returned to Beijing, he had already made it clear, why did he suddenly mention it now?

Zhou Rui'an's doubts only flashed in his heart, and he arched his hand and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this treasure is indeed nothing, there is no treasure in Nanshan, I think it should be the common people." ”

Emperor Xuande nodded with an uncertain expression, "Okay, you go down first." ”

"Yes! The minister retired. ”

"Remember what you say." Emperor Xuande's voice came suddenly.

After Zhou Rui'an walked out of the palace, he still had a strange feeling in his heart, he always felt that Emperor Xuande's attitude was a little wrong today, but he couldn't think of it.

When Zhou Ruian returned home, he saw Jiang Qingyue asleep in the living room, she supported her chin, her little head turned slightly sideways, revealing her white and small ears.

Even the ears are so good-looking!

Zhou Rui'an's eyes softened, and he couldn't help but sit next to her, stretched out her hand, and gently put it to his lips, and the originally noisy emotions in his heart gradually became calmer.

She always seemed to have the ability to calm his pain and make his heart calm, and he had never experienced such a feeling in anyone else, which was new to him, but he was strangely addicted to it.

Her lips were close at hand, he was just right, but the gentleman also wanted to do some good for himself, so he slowly lowered his head and gently covered her lips.

"Bad guys! You're the bad guy! Chen Xiu'er's voice suddenly sounded: "The bad guy bullied Qingyue!" The bad guys want to eat Qingyue! ”

Chen Xiu'er pushed Zhou Rui'an away, and almost threw Jiang Qingyue down, Jiang Qingyue had already opened his eyes and looked at them blankly for a moment.

"What, what's wrong?" Jiang Qingyue couldn't help asking.

Chen Xiuer dragged Jiang Qingyue's hand, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry, pointing at Zhou Ruian and began to accuse: "He, bully, Qingyue!" After thinking about it, he was probably afraid that Jiang Qingyue would not believe it, and then he pouted and wanted to kiss Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue: "??? ”

Zhou Rui'an quickly dragged Jiang Qingyue aside, turned his head and glared at Chen Xiu'er, is this really stupid or fake stupid? A crazy person, dare to belittle his Qingyue?!

Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Rui'an, and Zhou Rui'an was confident: "I'm kissing, what's the matter?" Do you want to come back? ”

Jiang Qingyue sighed, there was nothing she could do about such a brazen prince, she coaxed Chen Xiu'er to go home, Chen Xiu'er looked unhappy.

"He's a bad guy!" Chen Xiu'er held Jiang Qingyue's hand tightly and glared at Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Rui'an, and couldn't help but be a little funny, daring to point at Zhou Rui'an's nose so openly and scold him for being a bad person, probably only Chen Xiu'er, right? I'm afraid that even the saints are not so freewheeling.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help laughing, pulled Chen Xiu'er out, and just walked into the yard, Chen Xiu'er saw a butterfly, let go of Jiang Qingyue, and happily chased after it.

Jiang Qingyue looked helpless, look, she is not as good as a butterfly!

Walking to the door, Jiang Qingyue suddenly heard Chen Xiu'er scream, and then Princess Ningyang's sharp voice: "Who are you?!" Dare to ram this princess! Come on, give this princess a slap! ”

Jiang Qingyue was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly followed, and saw that the guards beside Princess Ningyang were about to arrest Chen Xiu'er.

Jiang Qingyue grabbed the other party's hand, and then pulled Chen Xiu'er to step aside: "The princess forgives her sins, this woman is mentally disordered, and she didn't mean to offend the princess, and the princess should not be concerned with her in general." After a pause, she continued: "Miss Chen is the fiancΓ©e of Lord Zhou Tongze, Lord Zhou has always been a brother and sister in the army, and the princess looks at Lord Zhou's face, and asks the princess to open up." ”

Princess Ningyang narrowed her eyes and swept her gaze over Jiang Qingyue's face.

"Quite a clever one!" Princess Ningyang snorted coldly and said, "I still know why this princess can't punish her!" ”

Jiang Qingyue lowered his head: "The princess praises falsely." ”

Princess Ningyang snorted coldly: "That's it, this princess still has something to do today, so I won't worry about you!" ”

Princess Ningyang swaggered away with the people, and the guards followed closely behind.

Chen Xiu'er shrank beside Jiang Qingyue in fear, and Jiang Qingyue comforted her gently.

Chen Xiu'er raised her head, suddenly met a pair of familiar eyes, and suddenly screamed: "Ah! No! Ahh ”

She looked like she was crazy, her emotions were completely uncontrollable, and Jiang Qingyue couldn't calm her down no matter how much she appeased.

Jiang Qingyue was worried that Princess Ningyang would be punished, so he raised his hand and knocked her unconscious.

Jiang Qingyue raised his head, Princess Ningyang just turned her head and couldn't help but say, "It's really unlucky!" "Then he took the people away.

Jiang Qingyue's eyes followed Princess Ningyang closely, what did Chen Xiu'er see just now that made her emotions so out of control?

Could it be the murderer?

Jiang Qingyue just felt that the poor prince was afraid that he would be entangled by Her Royal Highness the princess again, which was really a sin.

Jiang Qingyue hugged Chen Xiu'er back, Lin Zheyuan saw that Chen Xiu'er was unconscious and nervous, Jiang Qingyue comforted Lin Zheyuan, and told him about today's events.

"How is this possible? The guards beside the princess, how could they harm my Weiyuan Dart Bureau? There's no reason for that! Lin Zheyuan said with a shocked face.

Jiang Qingyue nodded, "Maybe Xiu'er recognized the wrong person, maybe there were guards who were similar to the murderer, so Xiu'er reacted so violently." After a pause, she continued: "However, if it is really a person from the palace, it can actually be said to be reasonable. ”

can mobilize so many masters at one time to destroy the Weiyuan dart game, Jinyiwei can do it, but the people in the palace can also do it!

Jiang Qingyue originally suspected the saint, but Zhou Ruian denied it, because the saint didn't have to be so troublesome to deal with Zhou Ruian, but there may not be only the emperor in the palace.

Jiang Qingyue thought a lot for a while, this Princess Ningyang was raised under the knees of the queen mother, and the guards around her must have been arranged by the queen mother, the queen mother was born in the Dingguo Mansion and was one of the best nobles in the capital.

Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed with deep thought, but why did the queen mother do this? Everything went back in circles, and the motive was still unknown.

So, did Zhou Ruian already know? Jiang Qingyue felt that it was very possible, with Zhou Rui'an's wisdom and understanding of the palace, he might not have thought of this, but he never said it, what was he thinking in his heart?

Jiang Qingyue discovered for the first time that except for the ordinary man who was a bit of a scoundrel but very affectionate in front of her, at other times, Zhou Ruian was a man with great ambitions and resourcefulness, such a man, he had his own ambitions and goals, he would never be like what he showed!

What is he thinking, what is he going to do, Jiang Qingyue is not unguessable, but she doesn't know, in order to achieve this goal, what will Zhou Ruian do, and who will be sad?

However, Jiang Qingyue's guess is based on the fact that Chen Xiuer did not recognize the wrong person, if Chen Xiuer admitted that she was wrong, the guards she saw just happened to be somewhat similar to the murderer, and then stimulated her, then her guess couldn't stand, there was no evidence, she couldn't pull Chen Xiuer out, saying that this was Chen Xiuer's abnormality, right?

Jiang Qingyue didn't even know whether to tell Zhou Rui'an about Chen Xiuer's discovery.

Jiang Qingyue had doubts about Zhou Ruian for the first time, should he tell him? What will he do? Does he really want to investigate the truth about the destruction of Weiyuan's dart game, or does he also have his own purpose in this?

There is also the mystery of her life experience, she has done so much and walked so far, the only purpose is to find out her life experience, and now, Jiang Qingyue feels that her life experience is very likely to be related to the destruction of Weiyuan Dart Bureau!

Jiang Qingyue stood in front of the door, across the wall is the Zhou family, this place was bought by Zhou Rui'an, the house on this street can be said to be hard to find, Zhou Rui'an had to use coercion and temptation to get the owner to agree to sell the house, all this is just to make her get closer to him.

That person, doing such a thing, sometimes it really makes people feel moved and warm, obviously he is the prince of the world, and he is the terrifying leader of the Jinyi Guard, it is really hard to believe that he will be like an ordinary man.

Lin Zheyuan walked over, sat down beside her, and followed her gaze, his eyes couldn't help but understand.

"I'm thinking about the prince." Lin Zheyuan said with a smile, paused, and said: "Actually, the prince treats you really very well, very few men will be so good to a man, uh, even a man to a woman, it will not be so good." ”

Jiang Qingyue's expression couldn't help but darken, alas, he accidentally broke his sleeve.

Jiang Qingyue turned his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about you to Xiu'er?" ”

"That's different, the master has a life-saving grace for me, and treats me like a mountain, Xiu'er and I are also childhood sweethearts, the feelings are different, of course I will end up with Xiu'er."

"And do you love her?" Jiang Qingyue asked: "If it weren't for the kindness of the head of the dart, would you love Xiu'er alone?" Is it because of a man's most genuine feelings for a woman, or because of the responsibility that has to be done? ”

Lin Zheyuan smiled lightly: "For men, is responsibility the most important thing?" As for the reason? Why does it matter? ”

Jiang Qingyue frowned, it is indeed the case for people like Lin Zheyuan, responsibility is heavier than everything, so no matter what he thinks, whether it is because of love or not, being responsible is his promise.

"The prince is different from me, he has more things on his shoulders than me, and the honor of the Jin Palace, it is even difficult to live in peace." Lin Zheyuan turned his head and continued: "With an identity like the prince of the world, he can't say what he likes, it's not easy for him to take responsibility, he always has to think a lot before he does anything, because he has too many concerns, and if he makes a slight mistake, his life will be lost." ”

Jiang Qingyue's heart moved, met Lin Zheyuan's eyes, and listened to him continue: "So Qingyue, it is actually very difficult for him to take that step for you, regardless of the world, leave aside his worries, and be willing to say his heart for you." He was actually aware of you as early as when he was in Zheng County. ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment: "Won't it?" You'll be able to see it at that time? We're two men! ”

Is broken sleeves so common now? Is it strange that Lin Zheyuan is so strange? And in Zheng County, at that time, he could actually see it? How did he not know?

"Qingyue," Lin Zheyuan reluctantly called: "With the status of the prince of the world, do you really think he is so approachable?" Think about it, he wasn't pampering enough with you? If you want disaster relief, he will try to help you with disaster relief, yes, he may have his own purpose, but at that time he really had no other way? Not because of you? ”

"Besides, at that time in the inn, he insisted on sharing a room with you, do you think that with his martial arts, and living in such an environment since childhood, vigilance is already instinctive, how can he need others to sleep with him for protection?" Lin Zheyuan asked again: "It's just you, only you will believe his words." ”

Jiang Qingyue: "!! She always thought she was very smart, but she didn't expect that she didn't know anything about what others were looking at!
