Chapter 171: The whole world is not the king's land

The atmosphere in the room was quiet and terrible for a while, to the point where the needle could be heard, and at this time, the crown princess glanced at the Three Emperors' Palace Xuanqing weakly and fearfully.

Gong Xuanqing had already done something wrong, but with this one look, Gong Xuanqing jumped up and said, "Princess, what do you think I do?" I just came, and I didn't ask someone to poison me. ”

When Gong Xuanzheng heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile, and then he said to Gong Xuanqing with a fake smile: "Third brother, the crown princess didn't mean this. ”

"Didn't mean that she watched me do? It's like I've poisoned me."

"No one said it was you, third brother, don't be angry first."

When Gong Xuanming saw Gong Xuanqing's startled look, he felt that he was a little irritable and noisy, and hurriedly comforted him.

"But this poison has come down to the East Palace, which means that the person is running for the prince's life, please ask the princess to explain all the process in more detail, so that we can also learn more about the situation, so that we can find the murderer as soon as possible, and not let the prince's brother lose his life in vain."

Although the emperor was also sad, but listening to the words of Gong Xuanzheng, he looked at Gong Xuanzheng a little differently, in the past, he only felt that this child was a little eager for quick success, and the concubine of the General's Mansion was kept for his youngest son, the Sixth Prince, and if the child married the concubine of the General's Mansion, General Ning would inevitably have to consider the five princes in the future, so the emperor rejected the child's request at that time.

Now it seems that he just feels that he has looked away before, and every question asked is on the point, the emperor didn't expect that Gong Xuanzheng still has the ability to judge the case like this, and a little Belle Lord really wronged him.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said: "The prince has passed away, the most important thing now is to find out the murderer who poisoned the prince, this matter is very important, you had better alert me one by one, if this matter is related to some of you......."

Although the emperor's words have not yet been finished, everyone present understands what it means, the prince's funeral has to be handled, but the investigation of the case is also a matter of urgency, and when the news reaches the general's mansion Huating Garden, it is already dusk.

The slanting sun lazily sprinkled on Ning Zimo's body, she saw that the jade slave wanted to speak and stopped, looked up, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Xiao Jiu said that Young Master Yan is going to be busy, but here, let you have dinner and rest early,"

Since Ning Xuanli told Ning Zimo that something had happened to the prince, Ning Xuanli hadn't returned to the General's Mansion, and he didn't know what to do.

"Oh, if you are not at home, it must be in the prince's East Palace, the East Palace is now a place of right and wrong, except for the big funeral, everyone will go there, and the rest of the princes will avoid it, lest Gong Xuanzheng find out that it is related to the death of the prince, he is good, he treats the prince as his own brother, and is in the East Palace all day long."

Yunu sighed and stepped forward to polish Ning Zimo's ink: "It's not, but our young master has been the prince's companion since he was a child, and he is always together when he studies in the palace, this relationship is naturally extraordinary, but I heard that the queen has always blamed the princess for not taking good care of the princess and delaying the prince's illness, which led to the prince's death, and forcibly put the name of an accomplice on the princess's head, so that the emperor ordered to ask the princess's mother's family." ”

"It's no wonder that the royal children are difficult to raise, the children who are easy to raise, so many major events such as marrying a wife and having children have come over, and now once someone was poisoned and killed, and the murderer has not been caught, the queen must have taken all the anger in her heart to the princess, but I have never figured it out, why did the princess wait until the next day to notify the palace?"

"Miss, don't bother, but I heard that because of the prince's matter, the palace summoned the six princes to come back."

"I didn't bother, I was just curious. But it's time for the Six Princes to come back. ”

"What do you seem to know, miss?"

Yunu asked what he meant, but Ning Zimo just smiled indifferently and said: "What can I know, everyone is rumored that this child is the sixth prince, the prince died suddenly, the fifth prince went to investigate the case, although Gong Xuanzheng's methods are vicious, but his skills are really a little bit, you can rest assured, the prince's case, he will definitely find out in three days." ”

After Ning Zimo said these words, he threw away the wolf pen in his hand, touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, don't write, go and pass the meal." ”

Originally, she was planning to wait for Ning Xuanli while practicing calligraphy, but since the person didn't come back, she didn't wait.

"Miss, what do you do by always copying the schoolwork that the young master used to do?"

While Yu Nu spoke, he put away Ning Xuanli's previous theory of calamity, which was written in a lot about the love story of Daji and King Xu, which was sprinkled with nearly a thousand words.

Ning Zimo took it casually and put it in the drawer, and then called the jade slave to come over and look at what he wrote, and asked, "Is it like?" ”

Yunu shook his head sincerely and said, "It's not like that." ”

When Ning Zimo heard this, he took the theory of calamity from the drawer again, and after careful comparison, he found that the pen in some places really didn't look like anything, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged: "I've been studying for half a month, and I haven't grown at all." ”

"Miss, I have a personal habit, what do you do to learn from the young master, our young master's words are majestic like thousands of horses galloping, the atmosphere is magnificent, and your words are small and delicate, at a glance, you can know that it is the boudoir word of your daughter's house, this is different, and it will definitely not work in a short time."

Ning Zimo nodded when he heard this, feeling that he still had to persevere, and turned his head to see that dinner had been served, so he sat down at the table and had dinner.

Now the only thing that can still eat is this Ning Zimo, so the emperor and queen naturally don't need to say it, she can't swallow her sad and grief, especially the queen, her eyes are red when she is crying at the moment, and she seems to be able to burst into tears, pointing to the crown princess who is kneeling on the ground and saying: "It's all you, it's you who delayed your illness, come here, take care of this sinner to the palace." ”

The crown princess didn't expect the queen to be so angry with herself, but now that she is ready to fly, she can't go back on her word and say that the prince cheated to death, and I don't know what kind of accident will happen when the time comes, and now the murderer who poisoned has not been caught.

The emperor's heart palace separated by a palace, Gong Xuanqing, Gong Xuanming, and Gong Xuanzheng all knelt in front of the emperor smoothly at this moment, and the emperor was also hit, and in one day, the emperor's backbone sank a lot, and he looked at these three people with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know, the prince's matter must have something to do with one of you." ”

The emperor did suspect them, but the emperor was the first to rule out the Fourth Emperor Palace Xuanming, because Gong Xuanming himself knew that his sick and weak body, even if there was no prince, the throne would not be his turn.

But Gong Xuanqing was so frightened that he trembled, but he still barely knelt up straight, kowtowed, and said: "Father, the prince's brother died suddenly, and those of us who are brothers are very sad, but you can't doubt us for no reason." ”

The emperor was not annoyed when he heard this, but continued to snort coldly: "Whether you are really wronged or fake sadness, I will know early tomorrow morning, and I also came here when I was young, and the temptation of the throne to the princes is really terrible." ”

Gong Xuanming has been sick all the year round, and today the cold wind has been blowing in the East Palace for a whole day, and at this moment he can't kneel, and his face is also pale and terrible, the emperor also noticed, and ordered with a wave of his palm: "It's not early today, the fourth child, you go back to rest first, come here, take the four princes down to bed." ”

"Yes, thank you for your kindness."

Gong Xuanming was indeed a little physically exhausted, and he immediately went down after getting the emperor's amnesty, leaving Gong Xuanzheng and Gong Xuanqing still kneeling on the ground, the emperor's eyes brushed between the two of them, but Gong Xuanzheng still didn't change his face, but Gong Xuanqing was different, and the emperor ordered that all the princes must rest in the palace tonight, and they are not allowed to step out of the palace gate for half a step.

Although Gong Xuanqing didn't know what the emperor's purpose was, Gong Xuanzheng knew that the emperor suspected him and Gong Xuanqing, and restrained people in the palace and forbade people to arrange anything outside the palace.

Simply, outside the palace, he has already arranged everything,

"Do you remember your uncles in the Zongren Mansion?"

"Remember, remember."

Gong Xuanqing is a typical thief with a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, and when he heard this, he was a spirit, and hurriedly said.

"What about you? Remember? ”

Gong Xuanzheng nodded, and said very sadly: "Father, you mean that Erchen understands, but Erchen really has nothing to do with the death of the prince's brother, Erchen asked the princess a few more words today, just want to know more details about the death of the prince's brother, so that it is easier to investigate the case." ”

The emperor nodded, and the coldness in his eyes eased slightly: "I know that the prince's brother is usually not kind to you brothers, but today he died badly, and you are naturally sad in your heart." But don't meddle in the investigation of the case, I will investigate it myself. ”

When he heard that the emperor went to check in person, Gong Xuanqing's heart almost missed half a beat, if this Gong Xuanqing was going to check, Gong Xuanqing still had room for maneuver, but now he found that this was impossible, and now Gong Xuanqing's heart only prayed that there was no shadow in the ninth best run that day, so that the emperor's people could not find it was the best.

But the whole world is not the king's land, Tianjiu cowered and wanted to go out of the city gate, and because of the prince's incident, the city gate had already sent additional manpower, and he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to leave the capital.

The cowering Tianjiu immediately attracted the attention of those guards, and Tianjiu was still carrying a package, and the sky was about to get dark and he had to go out of the city, which couldn't help but make people suspicious.

"It's getting dark, you go out of the city gate now, can you sleep on the road?"

The person at the head was sent by the palace, so he naturally had more eyes than others, and as he spoke, he motioned to his subordinates to snatch the package on Tianjiu's back, and those people opened the package on the spot, and there were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and ornaments in it.

The petty official looked at the cowering Tianjiu, and said in a question-like tone: "Where did you get so much money?" ”

"The Lord's reward."

"I look like I stole it. Come on, press it up, and bring these stolen goods with me. ”

Although Tianjiu also pretended to struggle, he still couldn't stand the hands and feet of those people, and Tianjiu was tied up in three or two times.

"My lord, this person sneakily wants to get out of the city with a lot of money, at this time, it is going to be dark, but this person wants to go out of the city, and his subordinates think it is strange and bring people to him."

That person was Mu Deputy Dutong's subordinate, and when Mu Deputy Dutong heard this, he nodded and said, "Bring the people and the stolen goods together, I will interrogate them first." Check to see if it is related to the murder of the crown prince. ”
