Shentu and Xing sent the confession of the little eunuch to the palace and applied to King Rongshe to investigate the palace of Qi Guan Rongzheng.

Hearing that King Rong She was furious, he still granted Shentu Hexing's request.

I followed Shentu Hexing and the little beggar to the palace of Qiguan Rongzheng, but I didn't expect Dongfang Yubai and Bai Rongtian to be there.

Bai Rongtian's bewitching face was slightly gray, I don't know what he has experienced recently, in short, he looks very bad.

And Dongfang Yubai, who was originally an irritable and impulsive lord, saw us with his troops coming, he instantly exploded, drew his sword at his waist, and looked at us with an unkind face.

Shentu Hexing took out the token and said coldly: "Is General Dongfang trying to resist and disobey the order?" ”

Dongfang Yubai scolded: "Your criminal department has always been beaten into tricks in handling cases, who is Lord Shentu instructed to slander His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Shentu Hexing put away the token and said lightly: "Since General Dongfang feels that His Royal Highness the Prince has been wronged, then let this official take someone to search for it, and if there is no problem, won't it prove Prince Rongzheng's innocence?" ”

The tip of the Oriental Imperial White Sword pointed directly at Shentu Hexing: "How can the prince's palace be defiled by you at will!" The prince is not guilty, if you go in and do what you are doing here, how can you prove the innocence of His Royal Highness the prince? ”

Shentu Hexing's eyes stared directly at Dongfang Yubai, "General Dongfang blocked the official from handling the case and poisoned the queen, so why not have a share of General Dongfang?" In addition, the king has said that it is forbidden to form a party for personal gain, and the general of the East is desperately guarding His Royal Highness the prince, but don't let people misunderstand. ”

Bai Rongtian reached out and grabbed Dongfang Yubai's sword-holding hand, pressed his arm down, and said coldly: "Those who are pure are self-purifying, what the prince has not done, they don't dare to slander the prince." Let them search. ”

Dongfang Yubai glanced at Bai Rongtian, as if he was puzzled, and then snorted coldly at Shen Tu and Xing, and withdrew the sword from the scabbard in anger.

Shentu Hexing led people in to search for things, and the little beggar and I stood in the courtyard and chatted quietly.

"Xi'er, do you think Shentu and Xing can find anything?"

I glanced at Bai Rongtian, who was staring at me, there was something inexplicable in his eyes, a little eerie.

"Something should be found. You think, since the little eunuch said that Qi Guanrong was poisoning him, it was nothing more than two situations. First, if this matter is true, then Qi Guanrong really poisoned the queen, if anyone wants to know, unless he does nothing, since he has done something, he will leave clues. Second, if this matter is false, then the little eunuch framed Qi Guan Rongzheng, he is a small palace slave, he must not have the courage and no need to harm Qi Guan Rongzheng, so the person who instructed him to testify against Qi Guan Rongzheng must have made a complete plan and will leave something in the palace of Qi Guan Rongzheng, such as poison and evidence of buying palace people. ”

The little beggar took a strand of my hair in his hand and played with it, and I snatched it back in disgust.

He twisted his fingers and smiled, "The water in your head is cleared?" ”

I kicked him while he wasn't looking.

He hurriedly grabbed my hand and continued, "There is another situation. What the little eunuch said was true, but his confession was also instructed. ”

I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Are you saying that Qi Guanrong really hurt the queen?" But why did he harm his biological mother? ”

The little beggar squeezed my hand, and his voice seemed to float from afar, ethereal and unreal: "Born in the emperor's family, how can there be family affection?" Power and interests allow them to do anything. ”

Although I could understand what he said, I couldn't, his eyes were deep and he wanted to help him wipe away his sadness, but I found that I couldn't touch the bottom of his heart at all.

He interrupted my thoughts: "However, even if I can find something this time, it shouldn't hurt Qi Guan Rongzheng." ”

I followed his gaze and saw that Bai Rongtian was holding his phoenix tail fan and shaking it gently.

I screwed the little beggar: "You killed Bai Eminem, and I was blamed!" Bai Rongtian won't frame me this time, right? ”

The little beggar hurriedly apologized and explained: "Bai Emu knows too many of my secrets, but her heart does not belong to the Xizi League, she wants to betray me, I can only strike first." Don't worry, with me, Bai Rongtian doesn't dare to do anything to you. ”

I said, "Do you say that Bai Rongtian already knows that you are the leader of the Xizi Alliance?" ”

The little beggar said, "I just want him to know." ”

I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said in amazement: "Bai Rongtian asked Dongfang Yubai to let us in, in addition to knowing that the king's order is difficult to disobey, he also knows that he will definitely find out something this time." He just looked at me with such a gloomy look, did he want to frame me for this? And you deliberately became so intimate with me in front of him, so that he could see who you were. Therefore, he doesn't dare to frame me now, so who will he frame to keep Qi Guan Rongzheng? ”

The little beggar smiled and said nothing, I gave him a blank look, and said, "Let's make a bet, if I can guess correctly, you will make meat for me every day, if I guess wrong, I will change to a vegetarian diet." ”

The little beggar shook his head, suddenly leaned close to my ear and said, "If you guess correctly, only twice in the evening, if you guess wrong, you have to let me have fun, okay?" ”

It's so bright in broad daylight, how can this person talk about it in public!

I glared at him, "Can you be serious!" ”

He didn't feel shy at all: "What I'm talking about is obviously a serious matter, how important it is to pass on the ancestry~"

I hurriedly diverted the topic: "I guess that Bai Rongtian wants to frame Qiguan Mengya." ”

Before the little beggar could speak, Shen Tu Hexing came out, holding a small porcelain vase, which looked like something of great value.

Shentu Hexing said: "There is powder in this small porcelain bottle, I don't know if it's 'ice silkworm corpse poison'." ”

The little beggar took it and groped for the bottle: "This is a porcelain vase commonly used in the Daqian Palace, Xi'er, look at the contents inside." ”

I opened the porcelain bottle, poured out some powder, twisted my fingers, light yellow powder, delicate and smooth, I sniffed again, there was a hidden medicinal fragrance under the fragrance.

I said, "It's the 'Ice Silkworm Corpse Poison'." ”

Bai Rongtian suddenly stepped forward and said, "I don't know if the poison was found in His Highness's bedroom?" ”

Shentu and Xing said: "Exactly." Bai Gongzi wants to defend His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Bai Rongtian chuckled: "I remember that Miss Xi'er was slandered and poisoned the Queen Mother a few days ago, and poison was also found in her room. Doesn't Lord Shentu feel that this kind of framing and punishment is familiar? ”

Shen Tu and Xing said: "The Feng poison doctor was framed, she can prove that she did not use the poison, but if His Royal Highness the prince also has a way to prove that the poison does not belong to him, we will naturally judge the case fairly." ”

Bai Rongtian said: "The grass people remembered one thing, not long ago, Princess Mengya came to find Prince Rongzheng, and Prince Rongzheng happened to be absent at that time, she waved back left and right, and I didn't know what to do in the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it took about a cup of tea to come out." ”

Shentu Hexing asked: "Do you mean that Duke Mengya wanted to harm the queen and also framed Prince Rongzheng, yes or no?" ”

Bai Rongtian lowered his head and looked respectful: "The grass people just told the adults what they saw truthfully, and the grass people didn't dare to slander the princess." ”

Dongfang Yubai interjected: "Lord Shentu, the queen is the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince will definitely not do such a thing that loses his conscience." But Qi Guan Mengya's biological mother has long since died, and she has not been happy in the palace all these years, and she may resent the queen for robbing the king, or resented the queen for treating her badly. In short, she is much more suspicious than His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Shentu Hexing said: "This is just a guess, the king may not necessarily check Princess Mengya, I will go to the palace to report first." Mr. Chu, let them continue to search, and if there is a situation, you can help me look at it first. ”

The little beggar bowed slightly.

Shentu Hexing took three or two steps, and suddenly turned back to me and said, "Trouble Miss Xi'er to go with me, I have to trouble you to explain this poisonous matter to the king." ”

Shen Tu and Xing were really polite to me for the first time, but he treated me as air a few days ago, and there was no one else in his eyes except Xiaoyuan and Granny Mo.

I sighed that this person was really good at pretending, and followed him to the palace of King Rongshe with his eyebrows lowered.

King Rong She was resting, and the great eunuch told us to wait outside first.

After an hour, the great eunuch announced that we were in.

King Rong She hadn't seen him for two days, as if he was ten years old, with white hair on his temples and a little blue on his face.

In the past two days, the daughter killed her grandmother, and the son killed her mother, and all the children came to collect debts from him.

King Rong She said weakly: "Shen Tu, how is the investigation?" ”

Shentu Hexing truthfully reported what he had investigated, and let me prove it.

King Rong She probably still wanted to keep Qi Guan Rongzheng, but when he heard that it might be Qi Guan Mengya's doing, his face suddenly regained its brilliance.

"Check, go check, no matter who is involved in this case, check! Whether it is what Qi Guan Mengya did or Qi Guan Rongzheng did, don't care about their identity, what to do! ”

Shentu Hexing received the order and transferred people to the palace of Qiguan Mengya.

The palace of Qiguan Mengya was deserted, and there was not even a palace person to serve.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the mess didn't look like a princess's dormitory at all.

Shentu Hexing and I entered the main hall, and I saw Qiguan Mengya resting on the chaise longue, holding a wooden doll in her arms, drawing her nose and eyes with ink, but the eyes were very large and terrifying.

Shentu and Xing stepped forward to wake up Qiguan Mengya, who seemed to be frightened, screamed, and then hugged the big-eyed doll in his arms and shouted: "Get out, get out of the way, no one is allowed to snatch my child!" ”

I stepped forward and shook her: "Mengya, I'm Xi'er, wake up." ”

After a long time, Qiguan Mengya's casual eyes looked at me: "Xi'er, why are you here?" ”

She rubbed her eyes, quietly stuffed the big-eyed doll under the small blanket, stood up, and straightened her clothes.

"Lord Shentu is also here, what's the matter, the poisoning incident of the imperial grandmother is brought up again? Can't get used to seeing me at ease and regret letting me go? ”

Shentu Hexing said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Royal Highness is here to investigate the case of the queen's poisoning on the orders of the king, and please ask Her Royal Highness the princess not to embarrass the lower officials." ”
