But who else will there be besides the third child?

Emperor Tianqing's eyes suddenly flashed the faces of the second prince and the fifth prince.

The fifth prince also wanted to marry the Shen family before, so that his mother and concubine had tried Shen Ke's marriage, and wanted to use this matter to separate the people of the Shen family, making it clear that he was unwilling to accept the position of the prince.

But the second ......

Emperor Tianqing remembered that the second prince was gentle and indisputable in front of him, and he had never fought for power and profit like other brothers for so many years, but was filial and humble, and he couldn't help but tighten his jaw and look gloomy.

If it was really the second child who secretly instigated such a thing, and even his father, the emperor, was concealed by him, and he never suspected that he had the slightest ambition for the throne, then how deep and terrible should his mind be.

For the first time, Emperor Tianqing became suspicious of his well-behaved and obedient second son.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhan Changdong couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you still have to continue to investigate this case?" ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at him: "Can you find out?" ”

Zhan Changdong shook his head: "Weichen is just the imperial history of the capital, and many things can't be checked, if Your Majesty really wants Weichen to continue to investigate, you have to give Weichen privileges first, at least let Weichen be able to act above Jinlinwei, otherwise even if you check it, I'm afraid it will be the same as the previous few times." ”

Yan Ling next to him felt a jump in his heart, and couldn't help but look up at Zhan Changdong.

Emperor Tianqing also squinted slightly: "Zhan Changdong, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Zhan Changdong said: "Didn't Your Majesty suspect that Jinlinwei's spies are all over the capital, how did the assassins of the King of Xiling sneak into the capital for many years without being discovered, and why are these few things related to the princes disappear through the hands of Jinlinwei?" ”

"Weichen has no intention of targeting anyone, but he really doesn't understand why the dignified Jin Linwei is so useless, he can't catch Lu Tao, he can't hold the assassin, he can't find out the truth about the poisoning of the criminal department, and he has repeatedly put His Majesty in danger. Your Majesty didn't think about whether the Jinlinwei was still Your Majesty's Jinlinwei, or if they had already chosen another master......"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Tianqing scolded angrily.

Zhan Changdong shut up instantly.

Emperor Tianqing looked at him coldly, as if he was angered by his words, and Zhan Changdong also knew that he had brushed the tiger's whiskers, so he hung his head slightly and said nothing.

The Xinuan Pavilion was obviously as warm as ever, but Yan Ling, who was guarding the side, felt that his bones were cold.

He only wished that he could cover his ears and pretend that he hadn't heard anything, this Zhan Yushi's courage was too big, and it was just enough to attack Feng Yuan and Jin Linwei, and he even dared to say in front of His Majesty that Jin Linwei had chosen another master.

He doesn't want to die?

Xiao Chi was also a little worried that Zhan Changdong's words would cross the line and provoke Emperor Tianqing's anger.

But who knew that after a long time, Emperor Tianqing seemed to have skipped the matter, and only said in a cold voice: "The four princes are narrow-minded and unclear-minded, and they will be punished with fifty rods, fined for one year, and banned from all official positions in the Four Princes' Mansion." ”

"Uncle Pingyuan had nothing to do but provoke the prince's infighting, instigated his wife to frame the Xue sisters and brothers, abolished their titles, removed their official names, and sent them to the northwest. His wife Xue was vicious, deceived the king, and was executed! In addition, all other people involved in this matter were severely punished to set an example. ”

Xiao Chi said: "Weichen obeys. ”

After receiving the order, Xiao Chi hurriedly dragged Zhan Changdong to retreat together.

When he arrived outside the hall, Xiao Chi was afraid: "You are too bold, you actually gave Feng Yuan eye medicine directly, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will turn your face with you." ”

Zhan Changdong said: "Your Majesty will not. ”

Xiao Chi frowned, he didn't understand why Zhan Changdong was so determined, but he still lowered his voice and said: "Feng Yuan is His Majesty's henchman, it is not so easy to move him, and you told me that you can make Your Majesty suspicious of the second prince, but why did I see that Your Majesty did not react at all?" ”

Zhan Changdong glanced at him: "If you don't have suspicion, the punishment of the four princes will not be so light." ”

Xiao Chi's face was dazed, is this still called light?

Zhan Changdong saw that he was puzzled and didn't explain, he only gathered the sleeves of his official robe in the wind, and shivered coldly: "Okay, let's go out of the palace and go to the Shen family." ”

Xiao Chi was immediately overjoyed: "I can also go?" ”

"What if it weren't?" Zhan Changdong looked at him, "Uncle spent a lot of money to beg me to investigate the case for you, and finally got a result, don't you have to take it to please Madame?" ”

Xiao Chi was suddenly happy, he didn't have time to care about those intrigues, he just wanted to see Ah Yan, and he didn't care about the doubts just now, Xiao Chi dragged Zhan Changdong and left:

"Then hurry up!"

He hadn't seen her in days.

Emperor Tianqing in the hall looked at the two of them after leaving, but his face was full of gloom, and his mind was full of the words that Zhan Changdong had just said.

Feng Yuan's recent affairs have indeed been unfavorable, and he had already been suspicious of Feng Yuan before, Zhan Changdong's words were like an awl, making him feel angry as long as he thought that Jin Linwei had become an outsider.

"Yan Ling."

Yan Ling, who was guarding the side, hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at him: "You say, Jin Linwei has chosen another master?" ”

Yan Ling's scalp was numb.

Feng Yuan is also Emperor Tianqing's confidant, so he can't move easily, but Zhan Changdong's words may not be unreasonable, even he feels that Jin Linwei has been a little strange recently.

Whether he said yes or no, this question was a dead end, but in the face of the emperor's questioning, he couldn't say nothing, and in the end, Yan Ling could only bite the bullet and whisper: "Weichen is stupid, Weichen doesn't know." ”

Emperor Tianqing glanced at Yan Ling when he heard this, leaned on the Minghuang brocade couch and asked, "How did you check the matter?" ”

Yan Ling hurriedly said: "Weichen has already gone to check the pulse cases and records left by the Tai Hospital, and also found the Tai Doctor who had been to the Xue family and had already told the old man, there was indeed a girl in the Xue family who ruined her appearance because she fell off the rockery, but because she did not record her name, and it was too long, the Tai Doctor couldn't be sure whether it was Xue Linglong who was injured by the fall." ”

The people of Tai Hospital will occasionally go to the clinic for some officials and magnates in Beijing, and they must leave a pulse record after returning from the clinic according to the rules, but they will rarely record the patient's name, and will only record such and such a family, such and such an event or such and such an illness.

For example, the records of the Xue family's visits only remember that there was indeed such an incident back then, and the imperial doctor had treated the Xue woman's injury, but it was difficult to determine which Xue woman's daughter it was.

Yan Ling said: "Xue Yu rarely left Jing'anbo's mansion after following Jing Anbo into Beijing, Jing Anbo has asked for medical treatment for her several times, she is indeed suffering from the disease of losing her soul, and she can't remember the past, as for Xue Nuo, she has never had anything to do with the Xue family after entering Beijing. ”

"The people sent to Fengyang by Weichen also came with news yesterday, the Sun family is a wealthy family in Fengyang, that Sun Xue was indeed abducted to Fengyang in his early years, and was later rescued by the Sun family, Sun Xue has lived in the Sun family for nearly 20 years, many people in Fengyang know her, and all kinds of traces of the past cannot be faked."

"If you just look at these, the identities of Xue Nuo and the others are fine, the only thing that is uncertain at the moment is the Jiangnan side, and I am afraid that it will take some time for the people who went to investigate to come back."

Yan Ling knew what Emperor Tianqing suspected, in fact, let alone Emperor Tianqing, even he was a little suspicious of the identity of Xue Nuo's sister and brother, but at least what had been found out so far could not see the problem.

Seeing Emperor Tianqing frowning, Yan Ling subconsciously said: "Actually, Lord Feng has already sent someone to Jiangnan earlier, and he has always stayed near Chengzhou, why don't you ask him......"

Halfway through the conversation, he bumped into Emperor Tianqing's cold gaze.

Yan Ling shut up suddenly, eager to raise his hand and slap himself.

He has water in his brain, and he can't even open any pot!

Emperor Tianqing glanced at him expressionlessly, got up and walked out: "Go to Guangning Palace." ”

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside."

Yan Ling hurriedly chased him out with Da Yu.

After Emperor Tianqing put on the dark color coat, Yan Ling hurriedly asked someone to carry the sedan chair over, and Emperor Tianqing sat on it and let people carry the sedan chair to the Guangning Palace.

When he arrived in front of the Guangning Palace, Emperor Tianqing ordered Yan Ling to wait outside with a group of guards, and he himself entered the Guangning Palace.

In the huge Guangning Palace, the courtyard is lined with dry trees, which is particularly depressed.

The dumb slave who was waiting saw Emperor Tianqing hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and Emperor Tianqing asked, "Where is Gonggong Liu?" ”

The mute slave pointed to the inside of the temple.
