After the autopsy, Li Yu sent someone to tell Hua Zhen that Tang Wan'er was not poisoned, but died violently in a self-styled death hole. And found a bloody silver needle on Tang Wan'er's body, and also found a suicide note on her, she confessed how she killed Zhaoyang, how to blame Hua Zhen for all the experience, and also told her feelings for Zhaoyang.

Li Yu was so shocked when he saw the suicide note that he almost didn't ease up, he couldn't have imagined that Tang Wan'er was actually because she loved the county lord of Zhaoyang, and she couldn't think about it, so she killed the killer, and wanted to blame Hua Zhen, who had the best relationship with Zhaoyang, all of this was just out of jealousy.

It's unbelievable.

But now that Tang Wan'er is dead, Li Yu can only present this suicide note written by Tang Wan'er to the emperor.

Prince Li and Princess Li were unbelievable, not only them, but even the Queen Mother was very surprised, no one wanted to believe that this Tang Wan'er had such a dirty mind.

Prince Li didn't believe it, and insisted that Li Yu deliberately killed Tang Wan'er and made such a suicide note, just to exonerate Hua Zhen.

Li Yuqi's face turned red, and he looked for calligraphy among the civil officials, and everyone found the articles written by Tang Wan'er in the past to compare the handwriting, and confirmed that this was Tang Wan'er's handwriting, plus Tang Wan'er's maid who served her also confessed, Tang Wan'er did have a love for Zhaoyang, and the princess fainted on top of the Golden Palace.

Emperor Yan Wen didn't expect to pull out such a matter, but he felt that this matter had lost the face of the royal family, so he had to order Li Yu to suppress this matter.

It is said that Tang Wan'er was jealous of the Zhaoyang County Lord's brocade clothes and jade food, so she killed the killer, and was unfortunately framed by Hua Zhen.

Li Yu was full of responses, and the case was closed like this.

This came out of the Lin De Palace, and the Duke of Wei and the crown prince were the first to get the news and personally went to the prison of the Criminal Department to pick up Hua Zhen.

Li Yuzi also sent someone to tell Xiao Huaijin that because of Xiao Huaijin's identity, he was not suitable to come forward, so he asked Beifeng to go to the Criminal Department and send Hua Zhen back to his home for himself.

Now that the case has been closed, Li Yu has also released all the eunuchs who were imprisoned in the Criminal Department.

Qinglian had to be relieved and went back to Shuihua Palace directly.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ruoyun sitting on top of the soft collapse, picking the spices in the incense burner with his ear spoon, and the look on his face made people unable to see joy and anger.

Immediately, he walked over with a slight expression: "The slave maid visits Concubine Yun." ”

Hearing this, Ruoyun didn't speak, but just glanced left and right, and the palace maid who was waiting on the side immediately understood, retreated and closed the door.

When only Ruoyun and Qinglian were left in the room, Ruoyun looked at Qinglian with a little coldness in his eyes: "How did I tell you?"

"Niangniang, slave maid is also for the good of Niangniang, if this Hua Zhen is not eliminated, it will definitely cause trouble for us in the future, Niangniang still don't be soft-hearted. Qinglian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she was doing, she just lowered her head and replied.

Ruoyun looked at Qinglian when she heard this, and there was a little more anger in her eyes: "You are just a minion, how can you ever need to meddle in the affairs of this palace, don't forget your identity!"

"Rest assured, the slave will never forget the identity of the slave and the maid, and will never forget the master's instructions. Saying that Qinglian blessed her body: "If the mother has nothing to do, Qinglian will go back to change her clothes and freshen up first, and then come to serve the mother." ”

Saying that, he turned around and walked out, Ruoyun only felt annoyed in his heart, stood up, and watched Qinglian go out, his eyes full of anger.

The palace maids waiting outside the door watched Qinglian come out, and they didn't dare to come out one by one, they were just guarding the door, and they heard the conversation between Ruoyun and Qinglian clearly.

It took a long time for a palace maid wearing a light purple gown to walk in, looking at Ruoyun's pale face, and persuaded softly: "Niangniang, don't be angry about this kind of thing, beware of your body." ”

At this moment, the people in the county lord's mansion had already received the news, and they waited at the door early, waiting for the Duke of Wei and the prince to escort Hua Zhen back to the house, and immediately greeted him with joy on their faces.

Jiang Fu walked to the carriage first, helped Hua Zhen get off the carriage, and said softly: "County Lord, my mother is back." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen's movements paused, and the hand holding Jiang Fu also tightened, and then looked at Jiang Fu: "When did you come back?"

"Last night, I was waiting in the courtyard now, just waiting for the county lord to come back. Jiang Fu said in a very soft voice.

Hua Zhen nodded, and because the prince was still there, she didn't mention it again, but just smiled lightly and ordered Lu Wei to open the middle door to welcome the prince and Wei Guogong to take their seats.

Lu Wei immediately led someone to open the main gate of the Baishi Tower and welcomed the prince and Wei Guogong in.

Hua Zhen instructed the people in the kitchen to prepare and invited the Duke of Wei and the crown prince to stay and eat.

Wei Guogong saw that Hua Zhen had just returned from the Criminal Department, and he was afraid that there were still a lot of things to deal with, so he wanted to leave.

The prince was immediately displeased when he saw this, but Wei Guogong insisted that he was not good at staying, so he could only smile and politely and go out with Wei Guogong.

Hua Zhen took Lu Wei Jiangfu to the Mercy Theater.

Aunt Zhou had been waiting in the house for a long time, and when she saw Hua Zhen, a trace of self-reproach flashed in her eyes: "The slave maid visits the county lord." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and helped Aunt Zhou up, and then asked: "Aunt Zhou has worked hard all the way, she just returned to Beijing last night, and now I am afraid that she will not have a good rest, and she will go back to rest for a few days." ”

"Lord of the county, the slave is fine. Aunt Zhou only felt that her eyes were slightly hot when she heard this, since she left, what happened in Beijing, the death of Mama Cao and Jiaoyue, Jiang Fu had already told her about it.

She felt aggrieved and blamed herself for replacing Hua Zhen in her heart, if she was in Beijing, she would not be able to make her suffer so many grievances.

Thinking about it, I felt a slight sour nose.

The corners of his eyes were also filled with tears, and he quickly pressed the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then pointed to the two behind him, and introduced to Hua Zhen: "County Lord, these two are Nightingale and Vulture. ”

After speaking, two people who looked no more than thirty years old stepped forward and knelt on the ground respectfully: "Subordinate Nightingale, vultures meet the young master!"

Hua Zhen looked at the two kneeling on the ground, this was the first time they had met in this life, but in the previous life, these two people followed her and were also her right-hand men.

They were originally brothers and sisters, and they were not the eldest among the dead soldiers trained by the Ning family at the beginning, but they were the best, and later all the dead soldiers of the Star Pavilion were handed over to them.

They have been responsible for controlling these dead men all these years, and when Empress Renxiao handed over people to Shen Chongmao, she did not let his brother and sister follow Shen Chongmao, but let them secretly stare at what Shen Chongmao was doing with these people.

So when Aunt Zhou rushed to Tubo, these two people appeared and recalled all the dead soldiers of the Star Pavilion.

Hua Zhen already knew about this, so she didn't ask too much, but just told the two of them to get up.

Then let Xia Zhu close the door and guard outside.

Aunt Zhou looked at Lu Wei and frowned slightly: "Lord Lu Gu." ”

Lu Wei nodded when he heard this, with a light smile on his face, as if he didn't care about anything.

"Aunt Zhou, don't come unharmed. ”

Hua Zhen looked at Aunt Zhou's brows, and immediately said: "I invited Mr. Lu to the mansion, because of the fact that Jiaoyue was poisoned at the beginning, there is really no one in the mansion who is proficient in poison, and I can't prevent it, so I asked Mr. Lu to come into the mansion to help me." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou nodded, just looked at Lu Wei's eyes, and was a little more vigilant.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen asked softly, "Aunt Zhou, did you say that Shen Chongmao asked the people of Xingchen Pavilion to help the prince of Tubo usurp the throne in Tubo?"

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou shifted her attention and nodded: "When I arrived in Tibet, the nightingale said this, but later we found out that Shen Chongmao's mind was not so simple, he clearly wanted to help the second prince of Tibet, but in fact, the second prince was just a puppet, and the one who really wanted to seek power and usurp the throne was the king of Dongyang in Tibet." An agreement was reached between Shen Chongmao and the King of Dongyang, and he helped the King of Dongyang seize power, and the King of Dongyang dealt with the opponents of the Shen family in the court on his behalf. ”

Vera immediately looked at the nightingale.

Seeing this, the nightingale glanced at the vulture, stepped forward and said very respectfully: "Originally, the queen asked us to keep an eye on Shen Chongmao, and let us wait for the young master's order to return to Beijing, so we followed Shen Chongmao all the way. Seeing that he asked Shen Chongwen to contact the king of Dongyang, he pretended to seize power with the help of the second prince, and asked the second prince to respond, and when King Qi seized the throne in the future, he would help out. In fact, he used the second prince as a puppet to let the king of Dongyang seek power and usurp the throne. ”

"What else, have they done this in more than a year?" asked Hua Zhen.

The vulture immediately nodded: "Ever since the Empress died of illness and handed over the dead soldiers of the Star Pavilion to Shen Chongmao, my brother and sister have been following them. After the Shen family got someone, they directly asked Shen Chongwen to take someone to Tubo without doing anything else. ”

Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this, and then looked at the vulture: "Where are all these people now?"

"It's all arranged in Beijing, and the county lord can rest assured that no one will find out. In addition, when these dead soldiers of the Star Pavilion withdrew, Shen Chongwen also rushed back to the capital, and now he should have returned to the Shen family. The vulture said, frowning.

Hua Zhen didn't speak, but the look in her eyes flowed.

Then he instructed Lu Wei to settle down in the mansion for them, so that the nightingale and the vulture could also change into the clothes of the county lord's subordinates, and stay in the mansion in the future.

After saying that, he asked Lu Wei to take them away, leaving Aunt Zhou alone.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhou knew that Hua Zhen had something to say, so she just stood aside quietly.

Waiting for everyone to leave, Hua Zhen looked at Aunt Zhou and said, "What's the situation in Tubo now?"

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou responded: "The current king of Tubo is now almost fifty years old, and he intends to pass on the throne to the eldest prince, these two princes have coveted the throne for a long time, so they united with the king of Dongyang to seek power and usurp the throne. The king of Dongyang behind the second prince is the cousin of the king of Tubo, obviously helping the second prince, but in fact he is ambitious, in order to seek power and usurp the throne, he has been planning for more than ten years, because he has been restrained by the king of Tubo, so he can't do anything, so he pushes the second prince as a shield. ”
