Chapter 515: Tracking
The prince was stunned.
Pei Guifei actually took out the note? How dare she? How dare you!
However, Pei Guifei just dared.
Her face was a little apprehensive and guilty, but she didn't have a weak heart.
The Emperor looked at the note, his gaze frozen.
Then went to see Pei Guifei, and the two looked at each other.
Pei Guifei said softly: "Concubine...... I was curious, I wanted to find out, but I regretted it halfway. Just as he was hesitating, he happened to see His Majesty coming. β
The Emperor recalled the situation just nowβ
In the middle of the banquet, he was a little drunk, but he saw Wan Dabao come over with a strange look to report, saying that someone from the palace saw Pei Guifei going back alone.
The emperor didn't sound right, and because he had been sick for a while a few days ago, he was already suspicious, so he left the table and only brought his personal attendants and guards to find him.
Halfway through, I saw Pei Guifei standing at the intersection, hovering, as if something could not be decided.
When the emperor saw that the news was true, he was a little angry, but when Concubine Pei saw him, not only was she not panicked, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as they came to greet the salute, before the two had time to speak, the guards came to report that the prince and the king of letters were ahead.
Then I saw two people scuffling together.
The emperor looked at Concubine Pei for a long time, and said, "So, someone deliberately led Concubine Ai to the Moon Pavilion?" β
Pei Guifei said euphemistically: "The concubine doesn't know, maybe it is." β
The emperor reached out and took the note, his eyes staring at Concubine Pei: "In the harem, it is passed on privately, and this matter must be investigated." Aifei, you don't object, do you? β
Pei Guifei replied softly: "Your Majesty is in charge." β
The emperor's heart was slightly happier, and his eyes returned to the crown prince and the king of letters.
The crown prince was already sweating profusely, and opened his mouth to say, "Father! When this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will arouse criticism. For the sake of the reputation of the concubine, it is better to keep a low profile. β
As soon as he spoke, the emperor's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly: "Oh? Why is this so controversial? β
The prince racked his brains and stammered, "This ...... Someone handed something to the concubine and fell into the ears of someone with a heart, wouldn't it become a private gift? He had an idea, found this reason, and the rest of the words became smooth, "Father, the reputation of the mother is important. What's more, just after praying for the ancestors, it's not good to see blood, so it's better to ......"
"How about it?"
Seeing that the emperor's face was calm, the prince became bolder: "It's better to turn big things into small things and small things into small things." β
How do you know that after he finished speaking, the emperor swept over with another teacup, and instantly changed his face and became angry: "You dare to say, you really dare to say!" β
The prince was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Father and the emperor are angry, and the sons and sons are just worried......"
"I'm so worried!" The emperor sneered again and again, "The harem needs you to worry, is this impatient to sit in this position?" β
This sentence was extremely destructive, and the prince immediately kowtowed, and he didn't dare to come out: "The retainers don't dare, the retainers don't dare!" β
"Don't dare, what don't you dare!" The Emperor was furious.
He looked at the prince and sneered.
I really think I'm a fool, I can't see the mind of this idiot.
Think that not long ago, he also discussed with the second prime minister how to hone the prince and ask him to take on the heavy responsibility.
It's only been a few days, and this idiot has surprised him so much.
Before he sat in this position, he wanted to do something to the people around him!
What would he do if he were to be put in this position?
The dignified prince actually used such a means to do this!
What disappointed him even more was that the means were used, and there were many loopholes!
The Emperor took a deep breath, his heart as cold as ice.
Perhaps, it's time to give up.
"Someone!"
Wan Dabao came in and bowed down to listen to the order: "The slave is here." β
"Call ......," the emperor paused, "call Jiang Wenfeng." β
"Yes."
On the prince's face, the color of blood quickly drained.
What does it mean to call Jiang Wenfeng? That's a courtier, a member of the three grades, Jing Zhaoyin who holds real power! Is my father going to make this matter public? In that case, he's the crown prince......
"Father, father! Erchen is wrong, please be gracious! The prince's soul was scattered, and he didn't care about the broken porcelain all over the ground, and kowtowed, "Father, the emperor is gracious!" β
When Jiang Wenfeng came, he saw such a scene.
The emperor sat in the center, his face pale.
The prince's face was as white as paper, his forehead was bleeding, and his whole person trembled, like a frightened bird.
King Xin didn't say a word, and lowered his head.
After Qian Niang left, Jiang Wenfeng basically lived in the mansion. He also thought that the emperor had government affairs to ask, but he knew that the chamberlain led him directly into Taiyuan Palace.
Looking at the situation in the house again, except for the emperor's father and son, there was no one outsider, and he knew it at the moment.
Something is wrong!
The unlucky one is the crown prince.
Tell him to come over, for fear that there is something unseemly to command.
Jiang Wenfeng frowned, he didn't want to get involved in the royal secrets, it seemed to be an opportunity, but it was also full of crises.
But the emperor's orders were helpless.
Master Jiang thought so in his heart, his face was not revealed, and he respectfully greeted the emperor: "I don't know what the Holy Lord summoned Weichen, what do you order?" β
The emperor's face softened slightly, and he replied: "Jiang Qing, you have always been good at judging cases, and there is a case here, you can try it." β
"Yes, the minister is at the mercy of the dispatch."
Jiang Wenfeng quickly understood the ins and outs.
After more than ten years in the office, he didn't know how many cases he tried, and he knew where the joints were as soon as he heard them, and he sighed secretly in his heart.
A prince with mediocre intelligence is not terrible, and if he thinks he is smart with mediocre intelligence, it will be fatal.
Jiang Wenfeng was not very enthusiastic about the rebellion, but if the prince sought death by himself, he would not stop him.
"Holy Lord," he arched his hand, "there are several suspicious points in this case, and the minister will interrogate several people." β
The Emperor called, "Ten Thousand Great Treasures." β
"Yes." Wan Dabao understood and bowed to him, "Master Jiang, you can just command." β
Jiang Wenfeng instructed one by one: "First, find out the palace people who handed the note to Niangniang." Second, who is the news that Niangniang went to Mochizuki Pavilion? Third......"
He turned to the emperor: "Holy Lord, the minister has a few doubts to ask Niangniang. β
The emperor looked at the curtain and nodded: "Let's go to the east room." β
The crown prince just watched the emperor go out, and wanted to say something, but he flinched under his cold eyes.
The bead curtain shook a little, and Pei Guifei also left.
The prince trembled and knelt in place.
He regretted it very much in his heart, why didn't he wait a little longer and discuss it with Mr. Fu after the Dharma was over?
By the way, Mr. Fu, hurry up and find Mr. Fu!
The prince hurriedly looked outsideβ
"Big brother, who are you looking for?" The voice of King Shin came with a smile but not a smile.
The prince covered his panic with anger: "What do you have to do? β
"What does it have to do with me?" King Xin no longer concealed his jealousy and hostility, and looked at him coldly, "Big brother, you are so vicious! You want to frame me for molesting my mother-in-law, you want my little brother's life! β
