Long before the palace maid picked lotus to make an offering, not far from the place where the eldest prince died, Yijing told the experience in public, naturally streamlined, and did not repeat the dispute in the streamer pavilion: "The concubine was changing clothes at the time, and I heard someone outside the window exclaiming that His Royal Highness fell into the water, but he was very suspicious, and said that His Royal Highness is the prince, and this is outside the Niangniang's bedroom, how can he follow the palace people to serve, which allows His Royal Highness to be in danger, so he asked the maid to push the window to look, but did not see the figure, and it didn't take long to hear the noise, the footsteps shouted, and someone seemed to jump into the water, The concubine hurriedly asked the maid to speed up the sorting of her clothes and feet, and as soon as she arrived in the porch, she heard the crying ......"

In fact, Yijing and Ah Ming "sat firmly on the Diaoyutai" at that time, and they were reluctant to take a step closer to the lotus pond, but in order to make things reasonable, they had to use the excuse that they were "disheveled" and could not show up at that time.

What was anxious was Caiwei, who had attracted her master and servant here, and hurried to come and say that the eldest prince fell into the water, and said that although the person was rescued, he was already unconscious.

How could Yijing not know that the trap had already been laid out, she was still calm when she came, and half of her figure was gone, if the eldest prince was really pushed into the water just now, how could he not call for help? It's not a baby in swaddling clothes, but it's also an age that can run and jump.

What does it mean? It shows that the eldest prince has been killed a long time ago, and when she comes here to change clothes, she will make a noise.

A meadow on the edge of the lotus pond is inevitably wet mud, if she hurried to the rescue, leaving footprints, and then was climbed by those palace people, it was she who pushed the prince into the water, wouldn't she be speechless?

Of course, the beautiful scenery refuses to take a step closer to the water's edge.

Instead, he ordered Cai Wei to immediately send someone to report to the queen and the queen mother of the two palaces, announce the edict to the imperial doctor, and asked if there were palace people who knew how to first aid drowning, and quickly implemented it, and then pretended to be panicked, and instructed to prepare dry clothes and bedding quickly to avoid the eldest prince from catching a cold.

Cai Wei couldn't drag Yijing to the water's edge, so she had to do what she was told.

Yijing doesn't know medical skills, how can he rescue and other things, and it is enough to preside over the overall situation.

The only person who witnessed the prince falling into the water was Cai Lian, who had not yet been allowed to make a confession, and they all knelt outside the palace to wait for the edict.

How did Lu Shangshu immediately find out that the eldest prince did not accidentally fall into the water, but was killed.

The main hall was becoming more and more silent—only the queen was still sobbing.

Yijing actually had the leisure to flex her fingers and scratch Yu Feng's palm - the queen's acting skills are not in place, shouldn't she ask Cailian sharply at this time? What are you choking on, I think I put all my thoughts on the layer of "grief-stricken", indeed, seeing that the treacherous plan is achieved, I am afraid that my heart will bloom, and it is really difficult to cry out tears, the prince is waiting to see, the concubine is about to appear.

Yu Feng couldn't help but cough lowly, and glanced at the beautiful scenery - princess beware, this is not the time to take it lightly.

Hearing a sharp reprimand: "What Lu Shangshu said is true!" The eldest prince was murdered?! What a slave and maid, dare to claim that His Royal Highness accidentally fell into the water, it must be you who did evil, and the palace maid dared to murder the prince! ”

The one who was angry was the queen mother, and it was her grandson who died, who was born by the queen, and still had the blood of her son!!

Where can the Queen Mother endure it.

Yijing glanced at Yu Feng again - the queen mother's reaction was mostly concealed in the dark, otherwise at this time, she would just wait for the queen to start the performance.

And the Empress Dowager knew that things would not be simple, and her eyes were even more cold at this time.

Of course, the Son of Heaven knows that the eldest prince is a prostitute, and the bloodline cannot be guaranteed, and it will never be possible to establish a prince in the future, but although the patriarchy is divided into concubines, the position of the emperor is not limited to the succession of the eldest son, otherwise there will be no dispute between the crown princes in all dynasties, and the eldest prince may still be the son of the saint, otherwise the Son of Heaven would not have decided to replace the concubine when he was in the palace.

The Empress Dowager had no doubt that the death of the Great Prince was the idea of the Son of Heaven.

Tiger poison does not eat children, since the Son of Heaven believes that the eldest prince is his own blood and blood, but after using it, he is ruthless and killer, so vicious, how can he expect him to treat his siblings well?

Although Gaozu has five sons, two were involved in the struggle for the throne and must be executed, Taizong's blood is very thin, only the first emperor left more than ten heirs, and three people have died in the struggle for power, and today's saints are suspicious and ruthless, and there are Qin henchmen and other traitors instigating right and wrong, and now he is still alive, if there is any case, it is difficult to guarantee that the Son of Heaven will kill many hands and feet.

These are all the bloodlines of the first emperor, thinking of this possibility, how can the empress dowager not be worried?

The clan Gu Ran wants to be on guard, but the son and nephew are too thin, and the country surnamed Yu is difficult to keep stable!

At this time, the Empress Dowager did not have the leisure to investigate deeply-the Son of Heaven deliberately alarmed the officials of the Criminal Department, and found out that the eldest prince was murdered.

But Cailian, who was frightened by the Queen Mother's scolding, was "full of liver and gall", so she trembled and confessed bitterly.

"The servant is wronged, and the servant has ten thousand guts, and he does not dare to murder the dragon...... It's really ...... It was the princess of Chu who bought the maid to say that, as for how His Royal Highness fell into the water, the maid did not know......"

The Queen Mother never expected that her forced question would get such a result, and she was stunned in the chair.

And the queen ended the "grief-stricken" at this time, and began to transition to "grief and indignation", covering her mouth with a handkerchief with one hand, and pointing directly at Yijing with the other: "Su, you are so vicious, just because you are resentful, you dare to kill Wu'er......" That situation, if it weren't for Mrs. Qin and Qin Ziruo's desperate press, they would have to rush forward and fight with Yijing.

"Bang", but it was the old princess who dropped the teacup, obviously frightened, but her lips trembled and she didn't know how to decompose, and a pair of eyes stared at Cailian: "You dare to spew blood!" ”

The eldest princess was still calm, Gaine heard about the accident in the Streamer Pavilion at first, and later knew that Yijing was actually killed by the eldest prince on the spot, so he realized that something was wrong, and at this time he just sneered, but he held back the old princess: "It's nonsense, this palace maid is waiting by the eldest prince's side, and she must be the queen's confidant, how can she be easily bought by Jing'er?" ”

The Empress Dowager subconsciously bowed her head, her eyebrows were as deep as a lock, and she glanced at the Son of Heaven lightly.

The Son of Heaven was naturally calmer than the queen at this time, but the dragon robe embroidered with bright gold couldn't hide his whole body - his only son was killed, and of course the Son of Heaven wanted to kill some.

"It's not really coming." A deep voice.

Cailian trembled like a fallen leaf in the north wind, and her whole body was prostrate, and her acting skills were indeed better than the queen.

Yi Jing thought that at least for now, Cai Lian did not need to panic, since she was the lead singer, she must be the queen's confidant, and this time she was instructed by the Son of Heaven, even if she was guilty of death, she only thought that she would succeed in "dying", and the emperor and queen would operate in it, and I was afraid that I would not be able to find a substitute for the dead ghost? Cai Lian should have been promised by the emperor and queen to ensure that she "changed her surname" and got out safely, and there must be a glory and wealth that could not be imagined in front of her.

I heard Cailian tremble and said: "The maid got the advice of the maid, went to the backyard to look for His Royal Highness, and saw His Royal Highness climbing on the fake stone, the maid persuaded for a while, and His Royal Highness was willing to come down, so he alarmed the princess, and the princess gave the maid a reward, let the maid avoid for a while, the maid was suspicious, and the people in the Ming Palace were looking for His Royal Highness...... The maidservant beside the princess reprimanded the maid for being humiliated, and took out a purse to reward, and the maid saw that the purse was actually half a bag of golden melon seeds, and it was also a ghost, and the princess would have malicious ......"

As he spoke, he took the "bribe" out of his sleeve and presented it.

Golden melon seeds were originally used as a reward within the imperial court, and Yijing was the prince and princess, so she naturally had it on hand, and she didn't remember it, so she was not afraid of being pinched, and it was reasonable to use it to "bribe" the palace people.

Cai Lian's words naturally did not end there: "But the slave maid was uneasy in the end, and after waiting for a while, she turned back, and saw the princess and the maidservant standing by the pool, and Her Highness was nowhere to be found...... Afterwards, the princess threatened again, claiming that if the servant could not escape the death penalty if she spoke nonsense, she taught the servant that words......"

A bag of golden melon seeds is not enough to buy the palace maid to commit murder, you can use this rhetoric, Cai Lian saw that the eldest prince had been killed and could not be spared, and she was frightened and afraid that the blame would not escape, so she made up a mistake and fell into the water to try to fool the pass.

"A faction of nonsense, a faction of nonsense, Jing'er and the eldest prince have no grudges or hatred, how can they cause harm!" Even if the old princess was pressed by the eldest princess, she couldn't hide her anxiety, and this time it was more like she didn't choose her words.

The queen immediately found the "loophole": "My son is just a child, of course he has no grudge against the princess, but the princess has long been dissatisfied with my Qin family, thinking that those who played the impeachment of her imperial history are the prime minister's envoys, and they have long held a grudge, otherwise they would not have instigated everyone to embarrass at the grandfather's birthday banquet in the palace, that is, the palace held a banquet today, because she was dissatisfied with Concubine Su's arrogant attitude, and intended to persuade the police, but Concubine Su encouraged everyone to refrain from forgiving...... I'm afraid that Cai Wei's mistake in pouring wine was deliberately aimed at embarrassing her, and when she met the emperor when she was changing clothes, she got that vicious heart! ”

Only at this time, seeing that the "beloved son" died young, the queen was more concerned about her demeanor than usual, and did not howl and splash, only covered her mouth with one hand and sobbed her chest with the other, which was far less sad and indignant when the power to "control the harem" was taken away.

"Niangniang's words are biased, today's fifth sister does not have any disrespect, but Zhang Xuanzhi and Sun Yiren provoked first, and Qin Qiniang was rude later, but the queen mother blamed the fifth sister for protecting her sister, the fifth sister is not a narrow-minded and vicious person, nor is she an ignorant person, how can it be unfavorable to the eldest prince? It is clear that this palace maid is a woman. Yichen got up to maintain, swept away the usual warmth, and stared directly at the three mothers and daughters of the Qin family, cold as frost.

"Knock knock" two fingertip strikes, but the Son of Heaven is finally going to appear on the stage, of course, he will not entangle the rights and wrongs of the female dependents, and ask Lu Ze directly: "What traces are there at the scene?" ”

Lu Ze did not expect that the matter would involve the princess of Chu, with his many years of experience in judging cases, he also noticed that it was extraordinary, but at this time, he could not cover it up, so he had to say according to the truth: "According to Weichen's investigation, His Royal Highness has not stumbled, the soil by the lotus pond is wet and soft, and if it slides down, it will leave traces...... There are messy footprints, but there are no slip marks that have fallen into the water...... And His Highness wore a hook around his waist, and hung a brocade handkerchief used by a woman, which seemed to be left behind while struggling......"

Jinpa?! It turned out to be the eldest prince.

Yijing lowered his eyes slightly-it must have been Cai Wei who took advantage of the opportunity to salvage the eldest prince ashore without the officials of the Criminal Department being present, and someone left Jinpa on the eldest prince.

The queen also sneered - this time look at how Su Wu defended herself, although Cai Wei failed to lead her to the water's edge, she was also prepared in advance, Huang knew the size of Su Wu's embroidered shoes, and had already found a general size to arrange the scene, and there was that Fang Jinpa, many women could have "admired" in advance, which was enough to prove that it was Su Wu's thing!

"Does Princess Chu have anything to say?" The Son of Heaven asked in a deep voice.

As soon as the evidence is not available, the princess will be questioned on the basis that the eldest prince did not stumble but was killed!

Yu Feng let go of his hand, and Yijing also got up generously and bowed in the hall: "The concubine's earlier words are true, and I learned that the eldest prince fell into the water because of the palace maid Cailian's exclamation and Cai Wei's report, and I can't figure out why the eldest prince was killed, and Cailian insisted that the concubine had poisoned her." ”

"Su still dares to quibble? If it weren't for you, how could Cailian bite it! The queen couldn't hold it back, and her eyes were full of flames: "Kneel down for the palace!" ”

The queen waited for a long time, and she didn't forget to be humiliated at this time.

"Qi Qi Sheng, just rely on the words of the palace maid to ask the guilty son, please forgive the ministers for disagreeing."

Yijing didn't kneel, but Yu Feng also Shi Shiran got up, stepped forward in two steps, stood beside Yijing, and first waved at the queen: "Niangniang's grief can be understood by the minister, but the minister still has advice, and I hope that Niangniang is a little sensible, and Mo Xin's one-sided words." ”

Seeing that Yu Feng came forward to defend it, Qin Ziruo's face turned pale, and he didn't care too much, and saluted everyone in the upper seat: "The maid has a word, I hope the saint will allow it." ”

The Son of Heaven was worried that the queen was not strong enough, and he didn't get to the point, and when he saw Qin Ziruo on top, he didn't delve into whether it was polite, and Chijin waved his sleeves: "The matter is urgent, and today it is bound to come to light, no matter who is in doubt, you can speak out." ”

Qin Ziruo agreed gently, and said softly: "At present, the princess and Cai Lian have their own words, as the prince claimed, Cai Lian's one-sided words alone cannot prove the truth, so please Cai Wei and the princess and maid Ah Ming to go to the palace together to confront each other." ”

At this time, Miss Ziruo still maintained a fair attitude, because she was sure that as soon as Cai Wei came, Su Wu would be speechless!
