Because the emperor had strict orders that any suspicious person caught must be kept secret, Hua Jiangyue was arrested until the next morning, when the third prince and the fourth prince learned about it. The four princes were just indignant because they didn't believe it, and the three princes arranged eyeliner in various yamen, so naturally they didn't know about the secret purpose, which confirmed that Hua Jiangyue's matter was true.

In the palace and the upper study, the emperor's face was stern, and the ministers were full of helplessness and entanglement, as if they were making some kind of very difficult choice.

With a "snap", the emperor slapped the table and shouted angrily: "You are waiting for the king's luck, this is how you worry about the king? Now that everyone has obtained the stolen goods, what else do you have to consider, just negotiate a verdict, what else is there to say!"

The emperor naturally didn't know what these ministers were thinking, but in fact, these people had been making their own little calculations for a long time. Regarding Hua Qianyue's case, these ministers all have doubts in their hearts, after all, Hua Qianyue didn't have time to transfer the stolen goods, how could she stay in the palace at such a critical moment. If it is judged according to the emperor's wishes, he will not get any benefit, and if the two princes want to commit a crime, he will be regarded as offending them, and the gain will outweigh the loss. Therefore, they would rather be scolded by the emperor than be the first to speak.

"You bunch of waste, I will give you a stick of incense, if you can't give a verdict within a stick of incense, then you just wait for the verdict I give you!" the emperor said very resolutely, which made this group of ministers extremely embarrassed.

An old minister couldn't sit still, after all, the black gauze hat was more important than the prince's joy and anger. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside the upper study, forcing back what he wanted to say. The other ministers on the side all breathed a sigh of relief one by one.

"Father, the son has a play!" As soon as the voice fell, the third prince broke in under the obstruction of several eunuchs.

Looking at the three princes who broke in, the dissatisfaction in the emperor's heart intensified, the emperor stood up, pointed at the three princes and asked: "You are so bold! What kind of place is this, you actually dare to break in!"

"Father's anger! The son-in-law has an urgent matter, which is related to the reputation of his father and the prestige of the court, and I hope that my father will be clear!" The third prince knew the emperor's temper, so he was not in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and said loudly.

Listening to the words of the third prince, the emperor couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, after all, the third prince was not a reckless person, if there was no urgency, it would be impossible to do such a thing that ignored etiquette. After thinking about it, the emperor's attitude also eased a little, and asked, "What do you have to say, say it quickly!"

The third prince saw that the emperor had eased up, so he slowly spoke: "Erchen heard that the national treasure has been recovered, and Hua Jiangyue has been arrested. Sons"

Before the third prince could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor's cold tone. "Do you want to say, Hua Jiangyue was wronged? This time everyone has stolen money, what else do you have to say. I really don't understand, a woman, what's so special about making you and the fourth child so crazy! You don't have to say it, go back to me and think about yourself!"

The third prince listened to the emperor's words, and understood in his heart that the emperor had probably misunderstood himself at this moment, but if he gave up halfway now, how could he be willing, so he ignored the emperor's words and continued: "The son is thinking about his father, so he came to tell a secret text, if the father can ignore the safety of the palace, but the son can not help but think of the safety of his father!"

"What are you talking about, is there any danger in my palace!" the emperor felt more and more surprised, he even suspected that his son was enchanted, although the palace was occasionally stolen, but there was nothing to consider about the safety of the palace, so he felt that the third prince was just alarmist.

The third prince looked at the emperor's attitude and continued: "Enlighten the emperor, now the traitors who steal the treasure are still on the run, if they don't leave the palace, then the father is in danger!"

"That's enough! Hua Jiangyue has been brought to justice, you don't want to talk nonsense anymore!" the emperor was a little angry, and his voice became hysterical.

"Father, what the third brother said is true, and the son asks the father to listen to what the third brother wants to say, and then make a decision!" The fourth prince suddenly walked in from outside.

The emperor looked at the four princes who suddenly came in, and was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything, so he said to the four princes: "You can tell me and listen to it!"

"Erchen obeyed the order, Erchen and the third brother went to see Hua Jiangyue last night, and Erchen and the other three chatted together for a long time, until the middle of the night, Hua Jiangyue went back. Erchen thought that if Hua Jiangyue was a treasure thief, she should have fled, but instead of escaping, she actually chatted with Erchen and others until late at night, so it can be seen that Hua Qianyue didn't know that the treasure was in her room in advance. The fourth prince knelt down beside the third prince and said slowly.

Listening to the words of the four princes, the ministers couldn't help but secretly say that if they had just said the verdict, maybe their official fortunes would be over, and now when they heard this kind of thing, they were secretly calling Amitabha Buddha in their hearts.

The emperor didn't know what the ministers thought, but in his heart he thought about what happened to the princes, who would be so disregarded for a woman. The emperor actually wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Hua Qianyue, but at this time there were many suspicions, and if Hua Jiangyue was sentenced like this, he was afraid that it would cause criticism, so the emperor could only think about it.

Just when the emperor was silent, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department suddenly spoke, and said to the emperor: "The minister has this book!"

"Come!" the emperor said very succinctly, in his opinion, the other party most likely wanted to help him speak, so he did not hesitate at all.

The criminal department Shangshu seemed to be a little hesitant, so he spoke very slowly. "The minister thinks that there are many doubts in this case, and since His Majesty has ordered the two princes to investigate this case, you might as well wait for more time and wait for the answers of the two princes!"

"The ministers think that Lord Shangshu is reasonable!" The voices of approval suddenly came one after another, after all, standing up at this time, the emperor could not be surprised, and he could still leave a good impression on the prince and achieve their status.

The fourth prince suddenly spoke: "Erchen, please be calm for a while, and allow Erchen to go to the scene of the incident to check the scene!"

The emperor had no breakthrough at the moment, so when he heard the request of the four princes, he naturally agreed.

After getting the emperor's clear decree, the four princes, under the leadership of the inner servants, arrived at the place where Hua Jiangyue lived not long after.

The fourth prince was already a prince who was proficient in martial arts, so without the help of any props, he rushed to the beam of the house to search.

The third prince stood below, looked around, and after a while, he shouted, "There is a clue here!"

The four princes were just about to come down when they noticed something abnormal. So he took out a handkerchief and wrapped something, and then asked the third prince, "What's wrong?"

"All the boxes and cabinets here are still dusty, so most of them have not been touched here!" said the third prince happily.

Going up to the study, the emperor saw the two princes come in, so he asked, "How is it?

"Father Qi, sons, and others have already found clues!" said the third prince very confidently.

Seeing the appearance of the third prince, the emperor suddenly became interested, so he asked: "Tell me about it, let me see what clues you have!"

"Erchen checked all the cabinets and boxes, and the locks on them were intact and full of dust, which showed that they had never been touched, and if Hua Jiangyue wanted to hide the national treasure privately, she would have to choose a place, and it was impossible to store so much dust in the room. The third prince said as he glanced at several ministers, hoping to see some information from their tables.

The emperor smiled: "In this way, if Hua Jiangyue wants to make this kind of scene, it is not difficult, if there is no empirical evidence, I am afraid it will not be possible." ”

"Father, if there are footprints and box marks on the beams of the house, is this considered evidence?" the fourth prince suddenly asked.

The emperor was caught off guard by the question, and said after a pause: "If this is the case, it can also be regarded as evidence, could it be that you found out?"

The fourth prince escaped from his handkerchief, presented it to the emperor, and continued: "This is collected by the retainer from the beam of Hua Jiangyue's room, this is clearly the soil outside the palace, Hua Jiangyue has always been that dress when she entered the palace, and the other clothes are provided by the palace, there is no chance to stain the soil, and the queen mother has to search her body, so it is impossible to hide it privately." Therefore, Hua Jiangyue should be blamed!"

The emperor seemed to be very unwilling, and still hoped to find something to refute, but now that the evidence was in front of him, he was helpless, and finally could only say: "Since this is the case, then temporarily detain Hua Jiangyue, you two will do your best to solve the case, and the day of solving the case is when Hua Jiangyue regains her freedom!"

The fourth prince seemed to have expected the emperor to have such a hand, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, but his body had already knelt down. At this moment, almost everyone had already concluded that the four princes were planning to ask for a holy decree for Hua Jiangyue to temporarily restore their freedom, and the three princes on the side glanced at the four princes, as if they were telling him not to slam into him.

However, the fourth prince turned a deaf ear and slowly spoke: "There are two things that the son of the prince begs for his father's permission!"

"If you want to say that Hua Jiangyue will be released temporarily, then you don't need to say it, I can't agree to it. The emperor was very confident in his heart, as if he had already understood the thoughts of the four princes, but at this moment, the faces of the four princes were still the same as before, revealing a kind of confidence and courage.

The fourth prince arched his hand and said to the emperor: "The case of Hua Jiangyue is a big matter, and the sons dare not abolish the public for personal reasons, and the first thing the sons and daughters ask is to ask the father and emperor to temporarily transfer Hua Jiangyue to the imperial prison for detention, and allow the sons and the imperial brother to be interrogated at any time!"

The emperor couldn't help but wonder what kind of place the edict prison was, and the emperor knew best in his heart, nine out of ten who could enter the edict prison would die. And the fourth prince actually proposed to put Hua Jiangyue in prison, which really made the emperor puzzled. The third prince on the side was also confused, but at the moment of the situation, he was inconvenient to say anything, so he had to remain silent.
