When Prince Li got the news, he and the princess hurried into the palace.

When she entered the door, she saw Tang Wan'er kneeling on the ground, her body was covered with blood, and Princess Li only felt that the blood on her body was cold, and she couldn't even say anything for a long time: "Wan'er, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Tang Wan'er raised her head but glanced at Hua Zhen first, and her eyes were full of resentment.

Let Prince Li also see it clearly, and immediately looked at Hua Zhen, her eyes were full of disbelief: "What the hell is going on?"

"Zhen'er has seen Prince Li, Prince Li's princess. Hua Zhen first bowed respectfully, and then said softly: "Zhen'er doesn't know what happened, she was originally going to enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect to see a sneaky person on the long street, and she followed on a whim, and saw that Zhaoyang had been seriously injured and fell to the ground." ”

"You lied to people, obviously you killed the county lord of Zhaoyang, and there is no one else in the whole house except you and the county lord, and you still want to deny it now. ”

Tang Wan'er's voice was full of anger when she spoke, as if she had seen Hua Zhen kill with her own eyes, and she said it very firmly.

When Hua Zhen heard this, she met her eyes: "Miss Wan'er, you must pay attention to real evidence in everything, did you see me kill Zhaoyang with your own eyes, or do you have any evidence, if there is no evidence, it is better not to speak." Zhaoyang died, this case was decided by the Criminal Department, and I believe that Li Shangshu will definitely not let people suffer unjustly, and he will not let the murderer go unpunished. ”

When she spoke, her voice was exceptionally cold, as if she didn't have any emotion.

Tang Wan'er also calmed down: "Yes, what you said is that if you kill the county lord of Zhaoyang, Lord Li will definitely find out the truth and let you pay for the county lord of Zhaoyang." ”

The coldness in his eyes was even worse as he spoke.

Princess Li only heard that Zhaoyang was dead, and suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and the whole person fell backwards.

Seeing this, Prince Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Prince Li and Princess Li, and instructed the palace maid who came to serve: "Don't hurry up and send the imperial doctor, quickly help the princess to rest next to her." ”

Qin Guifei was not worried about Hua Zhen, so she sent someone to follow her to take a look, and when she saw that Prince Li was like this, she immediately stepped forward and helped Princess Li to go to Yanxi Palace to rest.

Watching the people go out, Prince Li looked at Hua Zhen with a very complicated look in his eyes.

For Zhaoyang, the only daughter, although he had the intention of using her to win over Yanbei, he really felt pain from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly heard the news of Zhaoyang's death, in addition to the loss of one less chess piece, it also carried a bit of pain in the world.

"Does Zhaoyang's death have anything to do with you?"

Seeing Prince Li ask, Hua Zhen immediately met his gaze, and her gaze was firm: "It doesn't matter, the prince should be clear, I have no reason to kill Zhaoyang at all, she is my only friend in Beijing, and I will not attack her at this point." ”

"You have. Tang Wan'er, who was listening on the side, glared at Hua Zhen angrily, and her voice was even more cold: "For Xiao Huaijin, you killed the county lord of Zhaoyang." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen turned her face sideways, and a pair of eyes met Tang Wan'er's eyes, which suddenly made Tang Wan'er's heart jump suddenly.

If Hua Zhen's eyes just now were just a little colder, then this glance was the naked killing intent, the kind of coldness that only dead people have.

Rao is Tang Wan'er couldn't help but be a little scared in her heart.

Prince Li didn't pay attention to Tang Wan'er's gaze, but just looked at Hua Zhen.

Seeing that Hua Zhen's face changed because of Tang Wan'er's words, she suddenly sneered: "Okay, I know everything." ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Yu: "Li Yu, this king has left his words here today, if you can't find the real murderer who killed Zhaoyang, this king will definitely be with you!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the inner room.

The grandmother in the palace took Zhaoyang to the inner room, examined the body, and scrubbed and changed into clean clothes by the way.

Naturally, no one dared to stop Prince Li when he entered, and they all stepped aside.

Seeing this, Li Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, looked at the blood stains on the ground, and then walked up to Hua Zhen: "Qinghe County Lord, how did you say this? What is going on, please tell the County Lord the ins and outs of the future." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded: "Today, I was ordered by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace to ask for peace, and when I walked to the long street, the father-in-law who delivered the decree was inconvenient to leave first." At that time, I was waiting, but I saw a palace maid sneaky, but her back was very similar to a maid who died next to me, and I was immediately curious and followed all the way, but I didn't expect to come here.

When I entered the door of this courtyard, I didn't see the figure of the palace maid, I just looked at Zhaoyang lying on the ground, and I was already angry. ”

"What do you mean, when you arrived, the county lord of Zhaoyang had already been killed?" Li Yu suddenly frowned even deeper.

Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this, and Tang Wan'er on the side immediately stood up and looked at Hua Zhen, and asked in a cold voice, "You are lying!"

"There is only one county lord here, there are no palace maids at all, when I came, I saw you standing next to the county lord of Zhaoyang, covered in blood. Where are there any palace maids, or they look similar to your dead maids, you are simply lying. Hua Zhenmo is either weak in heart now, or you don't even know how to say it when you lie, you are making up nonsense. Tang Wan'er said that she hated to kill Hua Zhen to relieve her anger.

But it caused Hua Zhen to be even more uncontrollable, and her eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Tang Wan'er, I kindly remind you to pay attention to your identity. Although I don't know what method you used to let Zhaoyang take you into the palace, don't forget, you are just a folk girl living in Prince Li's mansion, and I am the emperor's own Qinghe county lord, what is the crime of calling the monarch by name, I think you understand it very well in your heart. No matter what happened today, whether it has anything to do with me or not, you must not forget that you are not qualified to call me Hua Zhen's name. Saying that, he looked at Li Yu: "That's what happened to Lord Li, when I saw Zhaoyang lying on the ground, I didn't care about it anymore, and then it was this Tang Wan'er girl who entered the door and screamed that led the palace guards over, and the rest of Lord Li should also know." ”

Li Yu nodded when she heard this, she understood that Hua Zhen was not the kind of stupid person, even if she really wanted to deal with Zhaoyang because of any contradiction, she would never choose to be in this deep palace.

It's just the current situation, and anyone finds it hard to believe what she said.

It's not easy to prove her innocence for a while.

Thinking about it in his heart, he could only say softly: "I'm afraid that this case will not be clear for a while, and I have to be wronged by Qinghe and the county lord to follow this official back to the Criminal Department." ”

Hua Zhen also knew in her heart that this prison of the Criminal Department would not be avoidable.

He nodded immediately, and then said softly, "I wonder if I can trouble Master Li with something?"

"The county lord, please speak. ”

"Zhen'er's maid Jiang Fu is still waiting outside the palace, please ask Master Li to send someone to inform her, don't let her wait for a while. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu nodded: "Don't worry about this matter, the county lord will send someone to inform him, and ask the county lord to go back to the criminal department first." ”

Hua Zhen immediately blessed her body, and then followed Li Yu out.

From beginning to end, she didn't look at Tang Wan'er again.

For Tang Wan'er's words, she didn't put them in her eyes at all, she was just thinking about who killed Zhaoyang and why she killed Zhaoyang.

Who is the one who brought him here?

Although it is not clear that the real murderer of Zhaoyang is killed, Hua Zhen can be sure of one thing, this matter must be inseparable from Ruoyun.

Because the palace maid who led her over, although she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, the flowers on her head and the bun she combed were not in accordance with the rules of the palace at all.

It's exactly the same as when Ruoyun was in Hua's house.

Hua Zhen was really in a trance for a while because she saw this, and she followed along the way.

Now that I think about it, I am afraid that this person was arranged by Ruoyun, otherwise she would not know Ruoyun's dress and preferences in the Hua family at all.

Because it was the only daughter of Prince Li who died, Li Yu did not dare to slack off.

All the people in the courtyard were brought back to the Punishment Department.

Hua Zhen and Tang Wan'er, as well as a few eunuchs who rushed in first, were all imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Although they were all locked up in prison, Li Yu ordered Hua Zhen to open a room, and clean things were waiting.

also specially selected two old mothers from the house to follow and wait, don't look at staying in the prison, except that the light is dim and not as good as outside, the side is not bad.

Li Yu saw that the arrangements were in place, and then said to Hua Zhen: "Please also ask the county lord to grieve for some time." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

On the other side, Jiang Fu got the news and hurried back.

Xia Zhu saw Jiang Fu coming back alone, and was immediately very curious, and immediately asked, "Why did you come back alone?"

Jiang Fu didn't speak, and ran directly towards the corner gate.

As soon as Xiao Huaijin sent someone to check on Xiaoluzi's affairs, he saw Jiang Fu coming in in in a panic, and his heart suddenly jumped.

A bad premonition rose in my heart, and I immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Jiang Fu hurriedly said: "The county lord entered the palace and had an accident, Princess Zhaoyang was killed in the palace, and the county lord was lured to the courtyard where Princess Zhaoyang was killed, and now he has been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin only felt as if his heart had been hit hard by a hammer, and his heart sank to the bottom, and then looked at Jiang Fu.

"Who told you that?"

"Lord Li Yu of the Criminal Department sent someone to tell me, and asked me to hurry up to find the son, Lord Li's people also said that when the county lord was led over at any time, but when she saw that the county lord of Zhaoyang had an accident, she also took care of it. Everyone hurried to go, and the county lord was the only one in the house in the entire courtyard, so if there was no evidence now, the county lord was afraid that it would be difficult to get out. Jiang Fu said that his anxious face turned white: "What should the prince do now?" Last time, the county lord of Zhaoyang came to make a fuss, and everyone in the whole capital knew that the county lord of Zhaoyang was not in harmony with the county lord because of the refusal of the prince to marry, and the slave was afraid that it would spread in the capital at that time, saying that the county lord had a grudge against the county lord of Zhaoyang because of this matter, so he killed the killer. ”
