Huo Dudu is a five-grade military attaché, not qualified to go to the court every day to see the emperor, this time into the palace, also scared a lot, but he is in his fifties, and what he does on weekdays is to command soldiers to catch thieves for public security, there is still some courage and prestige on his body, in front of the emperor, he can hold on, he reported the case from Jin Jin to send someone to squat at the gate of Yixin Garden, and then cooperated with the matter of catching the thief again, although the angle is different, but it is very consistent with what Jin Jin said, Emperor Yongchang listened, believed that they did not lie, and immediately issued an order, let Huo Dudu surround Qian Hao's mansion, Everyone was arrested and sent to Dali Temple Prison.

Dong Jin heard the news in the middle of the night, and was scared into a cold sweat: "What did Qian Hao do?" ”

The messenger briefly introduced: "His people pretended to arrest Jin Zhaohui, the second son of the prince of the South China Sea, and then went to blackmail the prince and princess of the South China Sea, I wanted to get some money, but who knew that Jin Zhaohui suddenly came to Beijing, and the matter was revealed, the prince and princess of the South China Sea still remained silent, laid a net of heaven and earth, and arrested all the people.

"Idiot, stupid!" Dong Jin scolded a few words, sat on the chair, couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, and cried, "I'm going to be dragged to death by these two, woo, this time, let alone saving them, even I don't think I can get rid of it......"

"Don't worry, sir, it's right to find a way to redeem it, what the young master did, there are all the human and material evidence, and it is estimated that there is no way to overturn the case, but he said that it was because of the princess of the South China Sea that he was resentful, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, if the case is characterized like this, the master will not be implicated."

When Dong Jin heard it, yes, he raised his head: "You talk about it carefully." ”

"Master, you have to hurry up to the last book, kill your relatives in righteousness, and draw a clear line with your cousin's aunt and grandmother, the sooner the better, otherwise, when those imperial histories hear the news tomorrow, they will definitely bite everywhere, and the master will be full of mouths and can't tell."

"Okay, okay, I'll write a fold and ask the emperor to deal with Qian Hao strictly!"

Dong Jincai ordered someone to make a pot of strong tea and send it to the study, he repeatedly considered and revised it in the middle of the night, and rushed out a confession letter in the morning, which only admitted that as an uncle, he had the responsibility of improper supervision and education, insisted that he had no knowledge of Qian Hao's such a rebellious thing, and even accused the prince and princess of Nanhai and the lord of Yujie of joining forces to defraud Qian Hao and silver, which caused Qian Hao to be angry and made a big mistake. Anyway, in this recital, he refers to the deer as the horse, reversing black and white, and removing his own faults cleanly, but instead beating a rake, in a vain attempt to shift the responsibility to the prince and princess of the South China Sea.

In the court, everyone heard that Prince Ren had passed away less than a year ago, and the concubine had designed to defraud his sister-in-law and almost caused serious consequences, they were very shocked and demanded that the murderer be severely punished.

The interrogation of Dali Temple came out soon, Qian Hao really took all the things, and even wanted to take out the concubine Dong, but for the sake of face, the emperor still issued an order to abolish the edict of Concubine Dong, and agreed to the punishment of Dali Temple: several people who helped Qian Hao commit the murder were all beheaded, but Qian Hao was exiled to Wuliu County, the northernmost part of Jurong, where it was cold and snowy, deserted, and exiled criminals rarely came back alive.

Jin Jin and Qian Qian were very dissatisfied with this verdict, but Wen Jin comforted them: "Don't worry, give them a glimmer of hope, and when they have any changes, we will strike again, so that they will continue to struggle in despair and hope for the rest of their lives." ”

Qian Qian smiled: "I didn't expect the mother concubine to become ruthless now, do you want them to live rather than die?" ”

"Hmm!"

Jin Jin also smiled, things have passed like this, no one expected, a big event, happened at this moment, the prince and Zhang Lan inspected the seawall in Jiangnan, found that there was a section of the seawall cut corners, immediately reprimanded the local officials, they returned to Jiangnan Provincial Government by boat in the evening, disappeared, Qian Jun, the prince of Nanhai who was in Jiangnan for disaster relief, heard the report, immediately made a decision, mobilized the local army to participate in the search, and found that the boat they were on was scuttled, and all the people on board were killed. The prince was killed, the country was shaken, the news reached the capital, and Emperor Yongchang fainted to the ground, and he was physically exhausted for a while, and had to rest for three days.

The crown prince is smart, capable, and talented, both Emperor Yongchang and the ministers of the court and the central government like him very much, and now, the prince was killed for no reason, who is the murderer?

Immediately, news reached the capital, and the prefect who was reprimanded by the prince hanged himself in the study at home, is he a murderer? Or a scapegoat?

Concubine Mei was heartbroken and fell ill in bed, and the emperor had no choice but to recruit the princess of Nanhai into the palace to accompany and comfort her.

Wen Jin is also sad, the prince is a very polite and likable child, although Wen Jin has not met him many times, but he still has a good impression of him, but he is sad and sad, but he can't reveal the slightest in front of Mei Guifei.

When Concubine Mei saw Wen Jin, she cried again, and she fainted, and Caifeng, the palace maid who was waiting for her, anxiously told Wen Jin: "Concubine Guifei faints every day, and the imperial doctor said that if she continues like this, her body will collapse, what should I do, Princess Nanhai, they all said that you are witty, let's think of a way." Caifeng said, and knelt down, Mei Guifei was very good to her, Caifeng is also a kind of kindness, Wen Jin knew that she knelt, she was really anxious, she really had no way to ask for help, and she didn't know what to do.

"Think about it, Caifeng, you get up, the imperial doctor will come to administer the needle in a while, and I want you to assist on the side, the incident is sudden, you can't mess up anymore, the concubine has no relatives in the capital, you, I, are her relatives, so I have to support her."

"Yes!" Caifeng got up and instructed the little palace maid to serve tea and pour water, clean the face of the concubine, etc., while Wen Jin thought hard about how to solve the current dilemma.

The imperial doctor administered the needle, and then prescribed a prescription to take the medicine and decoction, Mei Guifei woke up and lay on the ground, not wanting to say a word, she was sad to death.

Wen Jin motioned to Caifeng to send out the palace and the chamberlain, she moved a small stool to sit in front of the bed, and looked at the concubine at eye level: "You are sad, I can understand, but you must know that you are not me, not an ordinary housewife, the royal family has no father and son, the royal family has no brothers, the prince himself is burdened with too many differences, and you should also be mentally prepared for such a thing." ”

"What a good boy he is—" Mei Guifei's tears flowed again. "No matter how good he is, you can't just cry blindly now, you still have sons, you have to think about them, and you have to think about yourself, otherwise, your tears in the future will be more shed, and the death of the prince will be even more wronged." Concubine Mei gritted her back teeth.
