Whether it was done by the prince or not, it can be seen that someone is dividing the relationship between the prince and the Ning family and Hua Zhen.

Thinking of Shen Lianxing, Old Lady Ning couldn't help but sigh.

For Hua Zhen and the crown prince, they are both the children of his niece, and he is in pain.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen comforted softly: "Grandfather and grandmother, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very kind-natured, even if he does something now, Xu will be deceived by others, and he will be used by others, otherwise he will definitely not be able to do such a thing." ”

When Old Lady Ning heard this, she looked at Hua Zhen, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes: "Child, you look at things too simply, and the prince is definitely not as simple as you think." ”

Seeing this, Hua Zhen's heart jumped, but she pretended not to understand, and then looked at Old Madam Ning.

Old Madam Ning sighed, and then took Hua Zhen's hand: "When did your cousin have an accident, but it was only after he went to your county lord's mansion that he had an accident, Zhen'er, think about it, what happened when he went to the county lord's mansion?"

"What does my grandmother mean is that the prince is murderous because his cousin went to tell me those things, and he wants to get rid of his cousin? Or maybe the prince is not really wanting his cousin's life, but just a warning to us, telling us that if he really hinders his affairs, he will never show mercy?"

Hearing this, Old Lady Ning and Old Lady Ning didn't speak, but looked out of the door with a very complicated expression.

Hua Zhen didn't say anything anymore, and quietly stayed by Mrs. Ning's side.

When it was late, Wei Guogong came in from outside, and his face was very ugly.

Seeing Wei Guogong's face, Old Lady Ning immediately frowned slightly: "How is it?"

When Wei Guogong heard this, he looked at the old lady Shangning, and the expression in his eyes was complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was annoyed or angry, but more disappointed.

"I went to see the prince and asked about Xiao Luzi, and the prince said that Xiao Luzi died of illness a few days ago. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning asked, "Sick and dead, when, can you ask?"

"I asked, just the day before yesterday, I deliberately pretended to be worried and asked what the disease was, and the prince only said that he was infected with the epidemic and dealt with it according to the eunuchs in the palace. The more Wei Guogong spoke, the more ugly the look on his face became.

Old Madam Ning immediately leaned back on the chair and sighed, "How could it be so coincidental." ”

Yes, how could it be such a coincidence, just assassinated here, this little road died of illness.

At this moment, not to mention Old Lady Ning and Old Lady Ning, even Wei Guogong himself didn't believe that it would be such a coincidence.

My heart also cooled down a little bit.

Wei Guogong turned around and sat down on the side, glanced at Hua Zhen, and then turned back to Old Lady Ning and said, "In addition, the prince also asked me if I went to the county lord's mansion again, and..."

"What else?" Old Lady Ning immediately had a little anger on her face when she heard this.

Xu is because of the long-term battlefield, compared with others, a little more slaughter, usually smiling and can't see it, but now with a cold face, it suddenly makes people look scared.

"Also, he asked me to go to the county lord's mansion, but he said that he suspected Zhen'er's identity, and asked me if I was going to collude with Zhen'er, and then come to deal with him. Wei Guogong said, his voice getting quieter and quieter, almost inaudible.

Old lady Ning was suddenly angry, and slapped the coffee table hard, and slapped the good yellow rosewood coffee table with a crack.

Wei Guogong didn't dare to come out with this atmosphere, but just looked at Old Lady Ning.

"Bastard, deal with him, if you want to deal with him, Zhen'er will not risk her life to save him in the first place, it is a crime of raising soldiers privately, and he, the prince, is waiting to be imprisoned to death. It's really confusing to be able to say such things now!" said Old Lady Ning, Xu is breath didn't come up, and he couldn't stop coughing.

Hua Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help smooth out: "Grandfather, don't hurt your body because of this, the prince didn't mean that, he just said something hurtful, grandfather don't care, otherwise, wouldn't it be in the hands of those who pester." ”

When Wei Guogong heard this, he hurriedly nodded and responded: "Yes, Dad, don't be angry, this matter must be instigated by someone behind your back, just like Zhen'er said, if we mess up now, we will be in the hands of others." I have thought about it, the person behind this designed the prince to be separated from the Ning family and Zhen'er, but I am afraid that it is not the real purpose, his real purpose is not to make the prince lose the Ning family and Zhen'er, so that he can attack the prince. I guess the real purpose of the person behind it is the position of the crown prince. Dad, let's not fall for someone else's fool. ”

Hua Zhen knew that Wei Guogong was afraid that Old Lady Ning would be angry with the prince, and he would really ignore him in the future, so he deliberately said this.

In the final analysis, his heart is still towards the prince.

Although it is clear, it is not clear that it is not a wise move to say that the prince is not at the moment, but it is easy for people to misunderstand that all this is her design.

Immediately followed Wei Guogong's words: "Grandfather, what my cousin said is that my grandfather should not forget, the emperor still has nine princes, so don't talk about this, Zhao Ting was rescued, and I don't know what I want to do now." ”

Old lady Ning was relieved at this time, sat aside, and looked at Wei Guogong: "Can you find any abnormal people around the prince?"

Hearing this, Wei Guogong shook his head: "I didn't see any abnormal people in the East Palace, maybe it was because I hadn't entered and left the Prince's East Palace for too long, and the people who served in this palace had changed a few times. ”

Old Lady Ning nodded when she heard this: "Since this is the case, send someone to investigate." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the sky outside and said, "This kind of thing happened today, I can't say what kind of chaos will happen, and it's dark now." If you arrange a few more people to send Zhen'er back, I'm worried that something will happen. ”

Wei Guogong responded and arranged a few powerful henchmen to send Hua Zhen back.

Hua Zhen naturally didn't stay long, thinking about Xiao Huaijin, she immediately blessed her body and took Lu Wei back to the county lord's mansion.

Passing by the alley where Wei Guogong was assassinated, Hua Zhen couldn't help but ask someone to stop the carriage and look inside the alley.

Seeing this, Lu Wei immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the county lord?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen pointed to the residents on both sides of the alley and said, "I remember that this courtyard is empty, it seems that there are no people living there, right?"

Lu Wei nodded when he heard this: "The family doesn't seem to live here, and there is an old servant who watches the door on weekdays." ”

"You go and find out who this family is. Vera said as she lowered the curtains.

Lu Wei immediately paid attention.

When the carriage arrived at the county lord's mansion, Jiang Fu helped Hua Zhen into the theater.

Seeing Xia Zhu waiting at the door, as soon as he saw Hua Zhen, he immediately said, "County Lord, Xiao Shizi invites you to come over." ”

Hearing this, looking at the look in Xia Zhu's eyes, Hua Zhen's heart immediately sank slightly, then nodded and followed inside.

Because Xia Zhu said that Xiao Huaijin invited her to come over, it was naturally not pity the theater.

Hua Zhen took Jiang Fu Xia Zhu directly from the corner gate to Xiao Huaijin's villa.

As soon as I passed through the door, I saw that the lights in the annex were bright, and there were six corpses in the open space in Xiao Huaijin's courtyard.

Because it was already dark, Xiao Huaijin deliberately lit a few more torches, just to make people see clearly.

Listening to the movement, he turned around and saw Hua Zhen coming, and immediately walked over quickly and helped her.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen couldn't help frowning slightly: "What's the matter, aren't these people?"

"These are the ones found in the alley where Wei Guogong was assassinated, and if you guess correctly, these people should be the assassins who assassinated Wei Guogong. Xiao Huaijin said and looked at the six corpses on the ground, and the look in his eyes was unpredictable.

Hua Zhen looked at the six corpses, one of them was wearing clothes, different from the five next to him, it was the coachman of the Wei State Mansion, and suddenly looked up: "No." ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Huaijin couldn't help asking.

"According to my cousin and Lu Wei, there are six people who assassinated, and at the moment, in addition to the corpse of the coachman, there should be six, but there are only five here, and what about one person?" said Hua Zhen, frowning.

Then he looked at Xiao Huaijin: "Where did you find these corpses?"

"There was a courtyard in the alley, and the people who cleaned up the corpses, maybe they knew that it was daylight to take away so many corpses in a short time, and it was not so convenient, so I left these people in the yard, and I asked people to take advantage of the night to move them all over. The courtyard was seen by the north wind, and there were only these six corpses, and there was nothing left. ”

"Yard?" Hua Zhen paused when she heard this: "But it's not far away, the one where no one lives?"

"Hmm. ”

After getting the answer, Hua Zhen immediately turned around and instructed Xia Zhu: "You go back and let Lu Wei come here." ”

Although Xia Zhu had seen the corpse once before, he was still a little scared at the moment, and after listening to Hua Zhen's instructions, he quickly nodded and went back to the theater along the corner door.

After a while, he led Lu Wei over.

On the way here, Lu Wei had already listened to Xia Zhu say everything about this side, and at this moment he saw Hua Zhen and Xiao Huaijin standing next to the corpse.

Immediately stepped forward quickly: "County Lord." ”

"Look, these are the same people who assassinated my cousin today. ”

Lu Wei didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward to take a closer look, and then nodded: "These are all of them, I and Wei Guogong have seen them one by one at that time, but there is one person missing." ”

"Who?" Hua Zhen's heart jumped.

"It's the little road recognized by Wei Guo. Lu Wei's eyes were very determined.

He already had the ability to never forget, not to mention the face of Wei Guogong at that time, he naturally remembered it more clearly.

Looking at these people at this moment, he immediately said firmly: "County Lord, I can be sure that there is that little path missing from these corpses!"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Lu Wei and immediately asked, "Could he not have died, and escaped by fraud." ”

Lu Wei shook his head when he heard this: "Impossible, only this person is the one I originally wanted to keep alive, and finally committed suicide by taking poison." The rest of the people were poisoned to death by my silver needle, just by looking at their faces. At that time, that little path was also hit by my silver needle, even the Great Luo Immortal couldn't save him, he was absolutely dead. ”

"Then why did the corpse disappear?" Xiao Huaijin was even more puzzled when he saw Lu Wei finish speaking.

Yes, these people disposed of the corpse, why did they just take away Xiaoluzi's corpse, what did they want to hide?

Xiao Huaijin saw Hua Zhen's brows furrowed, and couldn't help but whisper: "Is there a secret in this little way, since Wei Guogong recognized him, what is his identity, who sent him?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen's face condensed slightly: "Xiao Luzi is the personal eunuch next to the prince, and he is a dead soldier trained by the Ning family, and the Ning family arranged him by the prince's side to protect the prince." ”

"In other words, these people were sent by the crown prince to kill Wei Guogong?" Xiao Huaijin said in shock.

Hua Zhen shook her head: "Not sure, it may or may not be." But if you just follow the small path, no one can call him except the prince and the Ning family. ”

"Then it can't be that someone else bribed Xiao Luzi and asked him to assassinate Wei Guogong to blame the crown prince. ”

"Whether it's or not, what I can't figure out now is why they hid Xiao Luzi's body. If it was because he didn't want his identity to be exposed, it would be too late, Lu Wei and his cousin had already seen Xiao Luzi's face, and at this time, they still wanted to hide his body, wouldn't it be too much?" Hua Hao said, turning to lean against the pillar beside her.

Xiao Huaijin also couldn't figure it out, so he had to persuade him: "Maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

"Absolutely not. Hua Zhen said, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and then a thought flashed in her heart, and she immediately looked at Xiao Huaijin: "You may find out about the things in the palace?"

"What is it?" Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

"The eunuch who died of illness the day before yesterday and was disposed of in accordance with the rules of the palace, Xiao Luzi!"

Listening to Hua Zhen's mouth after the song, Xiao Huaijin was stunned: "Xiao Luzi is sick and dead?"

"When my cousin went to see the prince, he specially mentioned Xiaoluzi, and the prince said that this Xiaoluzi died of illness the day before yesterday, and he was infected with the epidemic. According to the rules of the palace, if the eunuch Gong'e, who was infected with the epidemic, died of illness, in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading, their corpses and some commonly used objects would be burned. That is to say, there is no body to be found at all, but this is recorded in the Internal Affairs Office, can you find out if a eunuch who went out of the East Palace the day before yesterday died of the epidemic, and you must also be sure that this person is a small way. Hua Zhen said, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Xiao Huaijin immediately understood and nodded: "I'll arrange it for someone." ”

Seeing Hua Zhen bowing her head and saying nothing, she was very worried: "I'll send someone to investigate this matter first, do you want to make sure that assassin is Xiaoluzi?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Xiao Huaijin, and then shook her head: "I hope my guess is right, now I'm not sure, you can let someone check first." ”

After speaking, Xiao Huaijin was very tired when she saw this, and gently hugged her into her arms, and then said: "Okay, I'll send someone to check, you're tired today, go back and rest early." ”

Then he personally sent Hua Zhen back to the county lord's mansion.

On the second day, before Xiao Huaijin's news came, the news came from the palace first.

It was the father-in-law next to the Queen Mother who came, saying that the Queen Mother summoned Hua Zhen into the palace.

Because the Queen Mother hadn't seen Hua Zhen for some days, someone suddenly summoned her to the palace at this moment, Hua Zhen only felt some bad premonitions in her heart.

Even the eyelids kept jumping.

Seeing this, Jiang Fu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the county lord?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen shook her head: "I don't know, but I feel very flustered from now on, and I always feel that something is going to happen." ”
