When Sima Xuan arrived at the Jinluan Palace, the emperor was angry at Li Fugui, Sima Xuan stood outside the hall and heard that the anger inside was almost extinguished, so he let the eunuch go in to report, the emperor heard that Sima Xuan was coming, suppressed his anger, and asked the eunuch to pass him in.

Seeing Sima Xuan's calm appearance, a trace of emotion flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he quickly covered it up, he sighed, and asked lightly, "I didn't come to the court this morning, what are you doing in the palace at this time?" If you don't feel well, it's good to rest. ”

When Sima Xuan heard the emperor's words, a sneer flashed in his heart, but his face was meticulous, he stood up after saluting the emperor, and said softly, "Erchen didn't want to see those people with different hearts arguing with the court, so he didn't come, but Erchen has already thought about how to catch the murderer quickly and relieve your worries for your father." ”

The emperor originally didn't have the heart to listen to Sima Xuan's words, but when he heard Sima Xuan say this, there was a gleam in his eyes, when his stupid son was also useful? It seems that as soon as this Qin Changning died, this kid also recovered his intelligence, instead of blindly thinking about that woman, it seems that it should be somewhat useful now.

"You say, come and listen." The emperor glanced at Li Fugui, Li Fugui answered, and took the little eunuch out, leaving Sima Xuan and the emperor's father and son in the main hall.

When Sima Xuan saw the emperor's move, he snorted coldly in his heart, but with a meticulous smile on his face, he said in a low voice, "Father, you said that in this capital, who has an enmity with Sister Changning?" Who wants to put Changning's sister to death and has been persevering in sending people to chase and kill? ”

The emperor listened to Sima Xuan's words, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he squinted at Sima Xuan, and said in a deep voice, "Who?" ”

"Of course, he is the powerful prime minister of the dynasty." Sima Xuan said calmly, "At the beginning, the Jin Wangfu family met Jialing Province on the way back but encountered two ways to chase and kill, although this matter was later closed, but the son also sent someone to investigate, which is inseparable from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the last Jin Wangfu fire, although it was said that the escaped prince concubine did it, but I heard that the concubine was arranged by the champion Hou, if the father and the emperor follow this line to check, he must be able to find the connection in between." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment, thinking of the letter that Sima Xuan had given him a few days ago, his fingers tapped it lightly on the table, and after a while, he looked at Sima Xuan and said in a deep voice, "Who do you think is the best way to handle this matter?" ”

"Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and Champion Hou are both first-class ministers in the court, and low-ranking officials are naturally not suitable for this kind of thing, the only one who can do it is the prince or prince of the dynasty." Sima Xuan was silent for a moment when he said this, "But now that Uncle Huang has traveled around the rivers and lakes, he can't find anyone anymore, and Erchen and Xiao Chengxiang ... Therefore, Erchen is even more unsuitable to appear in that capacity, for the sake of fairness..."Sima Xuan raised his eyes to look at the emperor, knelt down, and said in a deep voice, "So Erchen is sure that his father will release the eldest imperial brother from prison, and let the eldest imperial brother serve as the presiding official of this case, and make decisions for the Jin Wangfu family!" ”

The emperor looked deeply at Sima Xuan, who was kneeling on his knees, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice after a long time, "You said this sincerely?" Do you really want me to release your eldest brother? ”

"There is no definite evidence in the case of the eldest brother so far, which means that the eldest brother may really be killed by a traitor, now the queen mother is gone, and the second emperor brother also committed suicide, for the son, the eldest brother is the only sibling of the son, naturally I don't want the eldest brother to be wronged, so please father... Be magnanimous and let the eldest brother out. ”

Sima Xuan's face was calm, his eyes kept looking at the emperor, and he snorted coldly in his heart, he probably doesn't know it now, now the outside world has made a fuss because of the fact that the Heavenly Maiden was burned to death by the fire, as soon as Qin Changning died, it gave other countries a reason to attack the Great Zhou, the originally glamorous Great Zhou, I am afraid that it is about to become history, and the Great Zhou, which is about to become history, he Sima Xuan has no interest at all.

As for those people, even if he doesn't want the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will still put them to death before he gives up the country!

The emperor looked at Sima Xuan deeply, and after a while, he nodded in response, "What you said makes sense, just do what you say." ”

In the prison, Sima Chen was still immersed in the grief of the queen's death, but when he suddenly heard the jailer's conversation, he was stunned, hurriedly grabbed the cell door and stood up, and asked urgently, "What did you say?" What is the Jin Wangfu family is dead! What's going on! ”

The jailer looked at Sima Chen's appearance, snorted coldly, and continued his topic just now and ignored Sima Chen, in their eyes, Sima Chen was the prince who had been abandoned by the emperor, and now he was just a prisoner waiting for death, they didn't need to obey him, let alone serve and please him, so now Sima Chen is just an existence more humble than air for them.

Seeing that the two jailers ignored him, Sima Chen sighed and pleaded in a low voice, "Two adults, please make it clear, what's wrong with the eldest princess's family?" Who started the fire? Did the killer catch it? Do they have survivors? No, are they all injured, eldest princess? ”

"Yo, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked in such detail, could it be that he wants to find out the truth and make decisions for the Jin Palace?" One of the jailers scoffed, "You can't protect yourself now, so why do you care about other people's affairs?" ”

When Sima Chen heard the jailer's words, his face froze, and he slowly sat on the ground leaning against the wall, looking ahead with blank eyes, and muttered, "You're right... You're not wrong... I'm a dying person, so how can I care about other people's affairs... It's just that I've killed too many people... Queen mother... My grandfather's family... And also... Jin Wangfu, they all died because of my stupidity... It's all my fault! ”

"How can you blame the imperial brother for this." A cold voice came from outside, and the jailer, who was originally casual and lazy, quickly stood up and saluted Sima Xuan, "Third Prince, why are you here?" ”

Sima Xuan didn't even look at the two of them, walked straight to Sima Chen's prison door, stood in front of you, looked at the decadent Sima Chen condescendingly, and said in a deep voice, "All this is the fault of the person who framed the imperial brother, what does it have to do with the imperial brother, so, for the sake of the Changning family, you will be their chief judge!" ”
