After Li Yu's order, the yacha hurriedly stepped forward to restrain Prince Li.

Princess Li didn't expect that Li Yu really dared to do something to herself, and immediately said: "Presumptuous, do you know who I am, if you move me today, I will definitely take your life!"

Hearing this, Li Yu looked at Prince Li, and then said respectfully: "Since you have offended, if Prince Lili wants to be held accountable, I, Li Yujue, will not shirk it." It's just that today, the prince and princess of Li made a big fuss about my prison and stabbed my yacha, I have to show my body first, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the innocent stabbing Yacha is not a light crime, and how to determine how to punish the two crimes The minister still needs to ask the emperor. ”

After speaking, he ignored the princess and princess, and just ordered: "Take it away." ”

The yacha escorted Prince Li and Mama Wan away.

Li Yu looked at the poisonous wine placed aside and the dagger that fell to the ground, and there was still some palpitation on his face: "Let the county lord be frightened." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen shook her head, but her eyes were looking at the dagger on the ground.

He immediately picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Lord Li doesn't know where the dagger that stabbed the county lord of Zhaoyang is now?"

"Since the official is in the Criminal Department, it is the murder weapon that assassinated the county lord, and it was all collected by the Criminal Department. ”

Hua Zhen suddenly fell silent when she heard this, thinking that Prince Li might have been a little crazy because of Zhaoyang's death, so she casually picked up a dagger and said that this was the dagger that killed Zhaoyang.

He set the dagger aside.

But because of her action, Li Yu couldn't help but glance at the dagger, and suddenly sighed.

Hua Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Master Li?"

When Li Yu heard the voice, he raised his head: "Oh, back to the county lord, I look at this dagger very familiarly, it seems to be the same as the dagger that assassinated the county lord of Zhaoyang, I don't know if you can lend it to me." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen handed the dagger to Li Yu: "This was brought by the princess just now, and she even kept saying that this is the dagger that assassinated Zhaoyang." ”

Li Yu took the dagger and looked at it when he heard this, and then nodded: "I have carefully looked at the dagger that assassinated Princess Zhaoyang, and it looks like it should be an object in the palace, but I specially asked people to look for it in the booklet in the palace, but there is no record of this dagger." Because there is a * pattern on it, and it is also inlaid with an emerald, it is an extraordinary product. I just checked it in the palace, but I didn't find any clues, now looking at this dagger, county lord, do you say that this matter will have something to do with Prince Li's mansion?"

"What do you mean, the dagger belongs to Prince Li's Mansion?" Hua Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Li Yu nodded when he heard this.

"But if this dagger belongs to Prince Li's mansion, no matter who enters the palace, they may bring such a murder weapon as a dagger into the palace, and they will not be able to pass the level of searching in front of the door. Hua Zhen couldn't help frowning deeper.

Li Yu also frowned slightly, it is true that if this thing is from Prince Li's mansion, it is impossible for others to bring it into the palace.

It is even more impossible to use this dagger to assassinate Zhaoyang.

For a while, Li Yu was also in trouble, looking at the dagger in his hand.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen said softly: "Prince and Princess Li are still in the Criminal Department, Lord Li should go and solve this matter first, although now Prince Li has stabbed Yacha, but if the emperor doesn't want to take care of this matter, it is really not a big deal, and when the time comes, it will not be easy to say that it will implicate the adult." ”

Hearing this, Li Yu nodded: "Then the next official will do it, and ask the county lord to rest." ”

After speaking, he was about to turn around, but was called by Hua Zhen: "By the way, how is the matter of re-examining Zhaoyang's body?"

"It has been arranged for tomorrow afternoon, and it will be presided over by the criminal department's servant and the imperial doctor's order in person. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen responded and asked Li Yu to step back.

The secret edict specially begged by the prince and princess of Li also fell to the ground, Hua Zhen looked at the words on the edict, and understood in her heart that because of Zhaoyang's death, the queen mother was afraid that she had completely abandoned herself.

He immediately bent down and picked up the edict and put it on the table beside him.

If Li Yu didn't know how to deal with Prince Li just now, now it was Prince Li who sent the door herself.

immediately changed his clothes and went into the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor didn't expect that Prince Li and Princess Li would make a big fuss about the punishment department and stab the yacha.

Prince Li was even more shocked when he listened to it, and quickly knelt down to plead.

The emperor also understood that the princess of this ceremony was unhappy because of Zhaoyang's death, so he went to the criminal department to make so many troubles, so he didn't say anything, but asked Li Yu to quickly ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the injury of the yacha, and the prince of Lili took the princess back, and strictly guarded him not to make such a thing happen again.

Prince Li was grateful for Dade's departure, and when he got out of the palace gate, Li Yu said softly: "Lord, when the princess came to the criminal department, she went to the queen mother to ask for a secret decree, and now the minister also knows that the princess is afraid that it is because of the death of the county lord, and it is difficult to accept it for a while, but after all, this case is handed over by the emperor to the minister to find out, and the county lord of Qinghe is the key person in this case. ”

When Prince Li heard this, he immediately understood what Li Yu meant, nodded but did not speak.

went to the Criminal Department to pick up Prince Li and Princess Li.

By the time Xiao Huaijin arrived, Prince Li and Princess Li had already been picked up.

Hearing that Hua Zhen was almost killed, Xiao Huaijin was very nervous and went straight to the prison with the north wind.

When he saw that Hua Zhen was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen knew in her heart that it should be Xiao Huaijin who Li Yu sent someone to inform when Prince Li and Princess Li came.

Immediately said softly: "I'm fine." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin waited for the yacha to open the door, stepped forward quickly, hugged her in his arms, and then said softly: "It's me who is not good and puts you in danger." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen patted him on the back with a smile, then raised her head to look at Xiao Huaijin, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and pulled him to sit down on the side: "I think Prince Li is a little strange." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Just now, when she wanted to kill me, I deliberately provoked her with words in order to delay time, but looking at her reaction at the time, it seemed a little strange. Hua Zhen said with a slight frown.

Seeing this, Xiao Huaijin couldn't help asking, "What did you say?"

"I said that she wanted to kill me to hide the truth, and she wanted to cover up the real murderer of Zhaoyang. I just said this nonsense, just to delay the time, but I didn't expect her to be stunned for a long time when she heard this. Hua Zhen said and remembered Princess Li's reaction at the time, and paused: "So I'm thinking, will this Princess Li know something?"

Although I said this, I was not sure in my heart, after all, Prince Li and Princess Li were Zhaoyang's biological mother, and how she loved Zhaoyang herself was also in her eyes.

If she really knew who killed Zhaoyang, she was definitely not the kind of person who could watch her daughter die tragically, but she wanted to cover up the real murderer.

Seeing Hua Zhen's frowning, Xiao Huaijin immediately comforted softly: "I'll check this matter, by the way, I will tell you a good news, you will definitely not expect it." ”

"What?" Hua Zhen couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, looked at Xiao Huaijin and asked.

"That cousin Tang Wan'er in Prince Li's Mansion is not the real Tang Wan'er. ”

"What? who is she?" Hua Zhen was even more shocked when she heard this.

"I also found out by accident, you asked me to send someone to check on Wang Mingquan, but I didn't expect that Wang Mingquan was not in Huainan Yamen, but he stayed quietly in the capital. My subordinates found out that he was quietly in contact with the maid who was serving Tang Wan'er, and then I learned that Tang Wan'er was not the cousin and niece of Prince Li, but Wang Mingquan's illegitimate daughter. Xiao Huaijin said, and his face became solemn.

Hua Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Wang Mingquan's illegitimate daughter, why did he let her infiltrate Prince Li's mansion?"

"It's not very clear now, but as far as Tang Wan'er's identity is concerned, Zhaoyang's death must be inseparable from her. At present, Tang Wan'er and Concubine Yun in the palace have nothing to do with Wang Mingquan, and what I am most concerned about now is not Zhaoyang's death, but what they are planning behind it. Xiao Huaijin said and looked at Hua Zhen.

Hua Zhen immediately understood, and then said softly: "Not only Concubine Yun and Tang Wan'er, but also the beauties around the prince are also related to Wang Mingquan. ”

Saying that, a thought flashed through Hua Zhen's mind, and then looked at Xiao Huaijin: "Do you think these things are actually done by them?"

"You mean..."

"Instigated the prince, assassinated his cousin, Zhaoyang's death, Ruoyun entered the palace. Hua Zhen paused as she spoke, but the look in her eyes became more and more firm: "If I didn't know Tang Wan'er's identity, I wouldn't have thought about it, but now these things are all worn together by a Wang Mingquan." Think about it, Ruoyun was sent to the Dongjun Mansion by Wang Mingquan, and the woman who instigated the prince was also from Wang Mingquan, and now we suspect that Tang Wan'er is Wang Mingquan's illegitimate daughter. Looking at it this way, all this is like a bureau, a bureau made by Wang Mingquan. ”

"If this is really a game made by Wang Mingquan, then people are scared behind it. Xiao Huaijin said, with a little coldness in his eyebrows.

Hua Zhen understood, and immediately took a deep breath: "You sent someone to keep an eye on Wang Mingquan, and Lu Weike has arranged it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin nodded: "You just wait for the news, tomorrow afternoon he will follow the imperial doctor's order to conduct an autopsy on Zhaoyang." ”

Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this, but her brows were furrowed.

After waiting for a day, this Li Yu took Lu Wei to see Hua Zhen.

Because this was related to Zhaoyang's case, Hua Zhen asked Li Yu to stay with her, and then asked Lu Wei: "How is it?"

"As the county lord guessed, the county lord of Zhaoyang should have been seriously injured half an hour before the county lord entered the palace, and the medical skills of the person who started the attack were very superb, and all the bloodlines of the county lord of Zhaoyang were sealed, which left her last breath, and only waited for the county lord to be brought over, and then pulled out the silver needle that sealed the blood acupuncture points of the county lord. So when the county lord arrived, the county lord of Zhaoyang still had a breath of air, and it looked like he had just had it in his hand. ”

"And I checked the county lord's ankle, the girl who served the county lord said that the county lord sprained his foot, I have since checked, the county lord's foot is indeed injured, but it is not accidentally sprained, but it was misplaced by someone with all forces. ”
