"Don't explain, I know it, because you know that I killed Xie Mengying, so you don't want to be nice to our mother and son, and you want to support that Dugu Jialuo, is this the case, for this you don't hesitate to have children and our son." Empress Jiang burst into tears.

"No, Lei Lei, you really misunderstood me." The emperor wanted to explain, but his body was very weak.

At this time, several officials of Dali Temple came to report: "Your Majesty, the matter of the prince has been investigated clearly, and the mastermind has been found." ”

"Who is it? Isn't it Dugu Jialuo? Empress Jiang couldn't wait to ask.

"Back to the queen mother, no, it is a female prisoner in the prison, after she heard about the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, she repeatedly lured His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kiss her, and spread poison in her mouth, causing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to die violently." The Chancellor returns.

"Female prisoner? It's impossible, she and Zheng'er have no grievances, why do you do that, it's illogical? Empress Jiang roared with red eyes.

"Don't worry about the queen's mother, after the investigation of this official, this female prisoner's origin is extraordinary, and she has a deep relationship with the queen's mother." The minister said slowly.

"How can it have anything to do with this official? Who the hell is she? What's the origin, tell me quickly? Hearing this, Queen Jiang was a little panicked, she couldn't believe that her son's death had something to do with her.

"Queen Mother, I don't know if you still remember Huo Zhongliang, a loyal minister who was beheaded by the whole family because of you?" The minister spoke cautiously.

"Huo Zhongliang?" Empress Jiang was stunned for a moment, tried to recall, and found that this person did have, and it seemed that he was wrongfully imprisoned a few years ago, and then his whole family was killed, just because he did not cooperate with him and did not support his son Dugu Jiazheng as the crown prince.

"Does this female prisoner who poisoned Zheng'er have anything to do with this Huo Zhongliang?" The emperor spoke leisurely.

"Back to the emperor, the Huo family's tragedy, Huo Zhongliang's youngest daughter Huo Xuerou escaped, and was later caught in the process of strangling the rebellious party and put in the prison, which was originally going to be killed, but just in time for the emperor's birthday, the amnesty was granted to the world, so she spared her life, and then she has been imprisoned in the prison, and it just so happens that this time the prince was imprisoned by her to know, so ......?" The minister didn't say anything about the rest, but everyone knew what it meant.

After hearing this, the emperor closed his eyes painfully: "It's really self-reaping." ”

"Impossible, how can this be the case, it must be Dugu Jialuo, he killed Zheng'er, Your Majesty, if you have a concubine in your heart, kill that evil seed, he must have done it." Empress Jiang insisted that it was Dugujia*.

Several ministers couldn't stand it: "Queen Mother, wake up, His Royal Highness King Chen is still negotiating with the general of the Wumeng in Zhuankou, how can he frame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" And after verification, the female prisoner has been in prison for three years, if it is His Royal Highness King Chen, how can he wait for three years, this is not logical? ”

"Leilei, did you hear that? This matter has nothing to do with Jia Luo, if you hadn't insisted on eradicating the Huo family and excluding dissidents, how could there be today's affairs? The emperor was obviously tired too, and this was the first time he publicly blamed Empress Jiang.

"Your Majesty, how can you blame your concubines? Zheng'er is also your son? Don't you care at all? "Queen Jiang is crazy, yes, roaring.

"What do I care about, people are gone, after so many years, don't be obsessed." The emperor let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, you can't ignore it, this matter can't be counted like this, I want them to pay for my life." Empress Jiang shouted hysterically.

The emperor waved his hand weakly: "Take the queen down, she is emotionally unstable, don't let her go out of the Phoenix Pavilion at will." ”

"Your Majesty, our son is dead, you can't treat your concubine like this, even if I framed Xie Mengying, you shouldn't treat me like this, for so many years, the concubine has done her best to protect your ......?" Empress Jiang's cry faded away.

At this time, another soldier came to report: "Good news, Your Majesty, King Chen has just sent back the news that the negotiations at Zhuankou have been successful, and the general of the Ukrainian League is willing to return to the border pass to continue to guard." ”

"Okay, it's good that the crisis is over, ahem." The emperor said tiredly.

"Your Majesty, ...... How to deal with the female prisoner who poisoned His Royal Highness the Prince? Several other ministers of Dali Temple asked cautiously.

"Three days later, at noon, the door will be cut." After all, the emperor still wants to avenge his son.

The death of the prince can be said to be quite unjust, and it is ridiculous that he can die in Huangquan after kissing a female prisoner, but it is no wonder that he is so unlucky that he can meet the enemy offended by the queen mother when he is in prison.

Inside the prison

late at night

A man dressed as a guard walked in and was stopped by the jailer: "Stop, what kind of person, the prison is forbidden, outsiders are forbidden to enter and exit." ”

"I am a member of His Royal Highness King Chen, and His Royal Highness King Chen still has many questions about the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I want to interrogate the female prisoner." The guard was right, and he was not afraid of the jailer.

"Oh, it turned out to be His Royal Highness King Chen's people, go in." As soon as the jailer heard that it was King Chen, he immediately let him go.

The reason is very simple, recently His Royal Highness King Chen has done a big thing, persuaded Pan Baoping, the general of the Umeng, to do a good thing for the people of Liuyun Country, and I heard that the emperor promised King Chen before that once the negotiation was successful, he would be canonized as the crown prince.

The previous prince has died, the new prince is going to appear after all, the emperor has only four princes, the second prince is now in prison, because of gambling, selling the tribute of Xuechen State, waiting to be issued, the fourth prince Dugu Jiabao is less than ten years old, still young, so the most thoughtful new emperor must be His Royal Highness King Chen, as soon as he heard that the person was His Royal Highness King Chen, the jailer naturally did not dare to slack off.

The guard walked in, slowly walked to the edge of the prison, looked at the woman in white and called out, "Xue Rou? ”

"Derivation, why are you here?" When the woman saw her, she immediately looked surprised.

"My master called me, how are you? Are you alright? Have you ever been sentenced? Derivation asked with concern.

"No, they didn't embarrass me, and now that the emperor has issued an order to behead me, it doesn't make sense for me to be punished." The woman smiled faintly.

"It's hard this time, the master said, the day of the beheading, the bag will be dropped, rescue you, and then reward for meritorious deeds, this time to get rid of the prince, you are indispensable." Derivation looked at the woman in prison gratefully.

"It's nothing, do things for the master, and die without regrets." The woman seemed content.

"Xue Rou, for this task, you have been waiting in prison for three years, you have really been wronged, obviously you are not from the Huo family, but you have to pretend to be Huo Zhongliang's daughter, it is really a challenge for you." There was a look of pity in the derivative eyes.

"There's no way, the master originally wanted the real Huo Xuerou to go, but it's a pity that she has a short life and died too early, otherwise I wouldn't need me Mo Xuerou." The woman in white said slowly.

"In the past three years, I have been worried about you all the time, I wanted to come to see you several times, but I was stopped by the master, for fear of revealing clues, now that Queen Jiang is gone, the overall situation has been decided, I can finally rest assured, I am waiting for you outside." Derivation said excitedly.
