In the afternoon, the flower hall of the Xiangwang Mansion in Luoyang, the capital.

King Li Dan and the princess sat with Aixue, and Aixue held tea in her hand.

The princess said happily, "Goddaughter, how can you have time to come and see your godmother."

Li Dan also said, "It's better to stay here and eat tonight."

The princess hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, my godmother asked the kitchen to make something to eat for you."

Ai Xue hesitated and said, "Godfather and godmother, I came this time, I actually have something to ask you."

The two were stunned, and the princess was puzzled, "Please? Whatever you can do, your godmother will definitely do it for you."

Aixue was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, godmother, you must have heard of it, the beauty's father is the prince of Heng'an......

Li Dan was puzzled, "Are you talking about the murder that happened last night?"

Ai Xue hurriedly said: "Yes, that's it, Tianbao and I have been to the beauty today, Prince Heng'an, he is a good person, he will definitely not kill anyone, I want to beg my godfather and godmother, can you help intercede in front of the emperor, and let the emperor release Prince Heng'an."

Li Dan and the princess were stunned for a moment, and the princess hesitated and said embarrassedly: "Aixue, she is my niece, and I also believe that Prince Hengan is innocent, but I am afraid that we really can't help this favor."

Ai Xue was surprised, "Why? Isn't the emperor godfather's mother? As long as the godfather helps to intercede in front of the emperor, isn't it okay?"

Li Dan and the princess were embarrassed for a while, and the princess hurriedly said: "Aixue, what you think is too simple, yes, your godfather is the emperor's son, but this mouth, he is not easy to open."

Li Dan said helplessly: "Aixue, your godmother is right, if someone else says this, it's fine, but if I say it, I'm afraid it's really not good."

Ai Xue was surprised, "Why?"

Li Dan and the princess were stunned, and the princess said embarrassedly: "Aixue, don't ask so much, this matter ...... It's hard to put into words."

Ai Xue was surprised, "It's hard to say?"

In the afternoon, the Beijing Luoyang Shili Xiang Aixue room.

Tianbao sat at the table, a little anxious, and pondered, "Where has this Aixue gone, it's all this time, and he hasn't come back yet."

I was about to stand up, but when I saw Ai Xue coming in from the door, I was startled, and hurriedly greeted me and said, "Where have you been, you are only coming back now."

Aixue apologized, "I'm sorry for worrying you." Follow Tianbao to the table.

Tianbao wondered, "Then where the hell have you been? Don't tell me a word."

Aixue hesitated, "I, I'm going to my mother."

Tianbao was surprised: "Xiangwang Mansion? What are you doing there?"

Aixue explained: "You and Sister Xiu went to the bachelor's, I don't think I could think of any way to help the beauty at home, so I went to the godmother's, thinking that the godfather was the emperor's son and could help."

Tianbao suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "Did he agree to the godfather?"

Ai Xue said disappointedly: "No, the godfather said that he was not good at opening his mouth to the emperor, I asked why, the godmother asked me not to ask so much, Tianbao, why do you say this, godfather He is the emperor's son, is it so difficult to open his mouth?"

Tianbao was angry and funny, and reproached, "You, you don't even know how to say hello."

Ai Xue hurriedly said, "What's wrong with me?"

Tianbao said: "If you can't figure out the situation at all, you will go to ask your godfather, of course you will touch your nose."

Ai Xue wondered, "The situation? What's going on?"

Tianbao said: "What about this situation, that is, the relationship between King Xiang and the emperor is not as good as you think, King Xiang is now idle at home, basically he rarely cares about political affairs, not to mention this favoritism, how can King Xiang help you open your mouth to the emperor?"

Ai Xue was surprised, "So? Isn't his relationship with the emperor bad?"

Tianbao was puzzled: "Well, I can't say this, right...... But, in short, it would be very difficult for his godfather to open his mouth to the emperor."

Ai Xue seemed to have a comprehension, and said, "Oh, so that's the case, I don't know about it, I thought my son would be very tolerant when he opened his mouth to his mother

It's easy."

Tianbao said helplessly, "Now that you know, you won't rush to ask your godfather again, right?"

Ai Xue said embarrassedly, "If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have been busy working and would have died of shame."

Tianbao said helplessly: "I didn't know that you were so clever that you suddenly ran to beg your godfather and godmother in such a hurry."

Aixue said: "Beauty, she really helped us a lot, not to mention that she helped me find ginseng fruit, just because he saved you so many times, I have to find a way to repay her."

Tianbao was moved for a while, nodded and said, "You know it's good to think so."

Ai Xue hurriedly said, "Then, is there any way for the bachelor?"

Tianbao was a little disappointed and said: "There is no good way, the bachelor said, this case will be tried by Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History Yamen, and there should be no favoritism."

Ai Xue wondered, "The three divisions will be tried?"

Tianbao explained: "It is tried by the highest officials of the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History Yamen, which will ensure fairness compared to a yamen, and generally only in relatively large cases."

Ai Xue suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I see, is it possible for the prince to be released?"

Tianbao thought for a moment and said, "The physical witnesses are very unfavorable to him, and we can't go to the scene to check, it seems to be difficult."

Ai Xue was surprised, "This ...... Well, what if...... What will happen to the prince of Heng'an?"

Tianbao thought for a moment and said helplessly, "In this case, only a decisive decision can quell the rumors."

Ai Xue was surprised, "Kill the decision? This, what should I do, if the prince is killed, she will definitely be very sad."

Tianbao was helpless for a while, and said hurriedly, "Who is this person who planted the blame? Why did he do it? It's disgusting......" clenched his fists.

In the evening, the capital Luoyang Guo Mansion.

Guo Shangshu, Mei Mei, and Shimei were eating dinner, and the housekeeper, Wu San, and Xiaomeng were waiting on the side.

Guo Shimei pondered for a moment and said carefully, "Dad."

Guo Shangshu said, "Huh?"

Guo Shimei said cautiously, "The child heard that there was a murder in the capital last night?"

Guo Shangshu nodded and said, "You know it too?"

Guo Shimei hurriedly said: "Such a big murder case has spread throughout the capital, can you not know?"

Mei Mei wondered, "I heard about the dead, Dad, is this true?"

Guo Shangshu nodded and said, "It is indeed a dead person, such a big murder case is very rare in the capital recently."

Guo Shimei hurriedly said, "Hey Dad, I also heard that the murderer is the prince of Heng'an, is it true?"

Guo Shangshu was stunned for a moment, hesitated and said: "Sometimes it is really a person who knows the face but does not know the heart, this King of Heng'an, my father usually thinks that he is kind and kind-hearted, but he didn't expect that he would be the murderer, it is really unexpected."

Mei Mei was puzzled, "Prince Heng'an? Brother, isn't that the father of a beauty?"

Guo Shangshu said: "Fortunately, your eldest brother didn't marry their family, otherwise we wouldn't be able to raise our heads."

Guo Shimei hurriedly said, "...... Then according to my father, does Prince Hengan still have a chance to overturn the case?"

Guo Shangshu was surprised: "Turning over the case? This is a mountain of ironclad evidence, how can it be turned over? If you want to overturn the case, it's simply delusional."

Guo Shimei was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Father, according to this procedure, how will the imperial court handle this case?"

Guo Shangshu was puzzled for a while, and said, "Hey, I said Shimei, why are you so concerned about this case today, you are usually not interested in the trial, what is wrong today?"

Guo Shimei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Dad, look at what you said, isn't the child going to send an official? Child, I want to learn more from you about the experience of investigating cases, besides, Prince Heng'an is the father of the county lord, we are always friends, and we should be concerned."

Guo Shangshu nodded and said, "Well, if you really want to learn from your father to investigate the case, I am your father, so naturally I will not hide my secrets, and I will definitely teach you with my heart."

Guo Shimei hurriedly said, "Thank you Dad, the child will definitely learn with an open mind."

outer part

Shang Shu nodded and said, "Well, as for this case, my father has already played the emperor when he was in the court this morning."

Guo Shimei hurriedly said, "What did the emperor say?"

Guo Shangshu was dissatisfied: "Originally, this case was ironclad, and there was no need for many twists and turns, who knew that Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia actually stood up to question this case."

Guo Shimei was surprised: "Questioning?"

Guo Shangshu said disdainfully: "Hey, what can he question, it's just those innocuous details."

Guo Shimei hurriedly said, "What did the emperor say?"

Guo Shangshu sighed and said, "Alas, the emperor still trusts that Zhang Khan Zhi more, and actually adopted his opinion and asked Dali Temple to try the case together with the Criminal Department and the Three Divisions of the Imperial History Yamen."

Guo Shimei was surprised: "The three divisions will be tried? Wouldn't that be variable?"

Guo Shangshu said proudly: "Variables? You can rest assured that the case handled by your father and me has never been successfully overturned, even if the three divisions will try it, it will be in vain."

Guo Shimei was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly said, "That's all because Dad, you handled the case carefully, and nothing was missed."

Guo Shangshu said: "In this case, although there is no strong evidence of people present, this physical evidence is enough to convict him."

Guo Shimei was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what Dad said is true."

In the evening, Guo Shimei's room in Guo Mansion, Luoyang, Beijing.

The door was closed, and in the room, Guo Shimei and Wu San were discussing something.

Wu San was pleasantly surprised: "Young Master, from this point of view, it is absolutely impossible for them to overturn the case with their own strength."

Guo Shimei nodded and said, "Well, what we did this time is not leaky, let's see what they do."

Wu San said proudly, "Now, we just need to wait until the last moment, young master, and then you will go out."

Guo Shimei said, "By the way, how is the situation in Heng'an Palace?"

Wu San smiled, "What else? Of course, I'm as anxious as an ant on a hot pot."

Guo Shimei said with satisfaction: "Well, very good, Wu San, you did too well this time, and you really didn't disappoint Young Master Ben."

Wu San thought for a while and said, "By the way, young master, at noon today, Gao Tianbao and Bai Aixue went to the palace once, and it seems that they heard some rumors."

Guo Shimei said: "It's not strange for them to hear the news about such a big thing, even if they know, what else can they do? It's just a hurry."

Wu San smiled, "That's ......"

Guo Shimei felt proud for a while, and said hatefully: "Wu Meiren, you toast and don't eat and drink, this is all your own fault."

In the middle of the night, the room of Mrs. Wu of Heng'an Wangfu in Luoyang, Beijing.

As soon as Mrs. Wu fell asleep, the beauty sat on the edge of the bed, holding Mrs. Wu's hand, as if thinking about something, and Xiaozhi sat at the table and dozed off.

At this time, Wu Zhong came in from outside, and Xiao Zhi found himself standing up and said, "Young Master."

Wu Zhong nodded, walked over to the beauty and said, "Mother is asleep?"

The beauty nodded, "Well, I haven't closed my eyes all day, I just fell asleep."

Wu Zhong looked at the beauty with a tired face, and hurriedly said, "Sister, you go and rest, just leave it to me here."

The beauty looked at Mrs. Wu and said worriedly, "Mother, she ......."

Wu Zhong stopped and said, "Sister, just leave it to me here, you haven't eaten anything, you haven't closed your eyes since last night, and you're tired."

The beauty beat her spirit and said, "I'm not tired yet......

Wu Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't hold on, this family can do without me Wu Zhong now, but I can't do without you, if even you are tired, I really don't know what to do." As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.

The beauty was sad for a while, and said urgently: "Wu Zhong ......."

Xiao Zhi persuaded, "County Lord, Young Master Zhong is right, you haven't closed your eyes since last night, and if you continue like this, you won't be able to support it."

Wu Zhong persuaded: "Yes, sister, you go and rest, save your father and the king, it depends on you to find a way."

The beauty was wounded

Sad, shed tears, held back sadness and said, "Well, I'll go, I'll rest...... Father, he'll be fine."

Wu Zhong nodded and said, "Hmm."
