In the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Qiu Lu, who had just returned from outside, had a heavy face.

"Princess, there will be news from the court today."

Lu Luoxi saw Qiu Lu's expression and knew that the situation was not optimistic.

"Tell me, what's going on."

After listening to Qiu Lu's narration, Lu Luoxi knew that although there were now human and physical evidence, the Qi family was so powerful that no one dared to take the case.

In the court today, Zhao Yue impeached Concubine Qi for poisoning Concubine Qin.

said that he already had conclusive evidence and hoped to start the trial of Concubine Qin's poisoning.

The emperor allowed the performance, and because of the major involvement, it was decided that the three divisions would be tried.

That is, the Zongren Mansion, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department jointly tried the case.

However, it was difficult to determine the presiding judge.

Because Zhao Yue released the news in advance, Zongren Mansion Zong Ling and Dali Siqing didn't want to go to this flood, so they directly took leave and did not come to the court.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department came, but he was also a good person, and he fainted directly in the court.

When you wake up, you will say that you are old, please allow yourself to return to your hometown.

The people of the prince's power, because they don't involve their interests, don't want to fight with the Qi family at this time.

The rest of the hundred officials above the court are not stupid, and no one wants to mess with the Qi family.

For a while, no one dared to take the case.

The emperor also knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and asked Prime Minister Shen Yangze what his opinion was.

Shen Yangze directly reconciled with the mud, saying that the emperor could consider the presiding judge before starting the trial.

The emperor didn't say much, saying that he would wait for him to think about it.

Knowing that no one dared to take on this case, Lu Luoxi remembered someone.

Dong Boyi in Dali Temple Prison.

Imperial City, Dali Temple Prison.

The sunlight that came in through the small window was swallowed up by the darkness and fell on the ground as a small white spot.

On both sides of the road, there are not very bright oil lamps.

The prison is even more gloomy in the dim light of oil lamps.

Lu Luoxi, under the guidance of the jailer, walked on the damp road in the prison, and the stench of the prison made Lu Luoxi cover his mouth and nose with no help but can't help it.

Qiu Lu, who was following behind Lu Luoxi, was not abnormal.

"Dong Boyi, the eldest princess has come to see you."

After the jailer shouted Dong Boyi, he looked at Qiu Lu and withdrew first.

Obviously, I also understand that when the big man asks, it's better not to be next to him.

Dong Boyi, who was unkempt in the cell, stood up when he heard the voice, approached the fence, and bowed slightly.

"The minister has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"No courtesy."

After the salute, Dong Boyi stood up straight, with a raunchy appearance, but his eyes were extremely focused.

"I don't know why the eldest princess came here to find a minister?"

Dong Boyi, who is in prison, is still neither humble nor arrogant.

"The mother concubine of this palace was killed by Concubine Qi, and now the ministers are afraid that no one will dare to try the power of the Qi family, so they want to ask Lord Dongbo to try this case."

Lu Luoxi understands that it is better for upright people to explain their intentions directly.

"Why does the eldest princess think that Weichen dares to take this case."

"Lord Dongbo is upright, not afraid of power, dedicated to the people, and known to both the government and the opposition."

Lu Luoxi's words of praise did not change Dong Boyi's mood, Dong Boyi seemed to hear very ordinary words.

"It's true that I, Dongboyi, am dedicated to serving the people, but I won't be a tool for your power struggle."

To Dong Boyi's words, Lu Luoxi smiled slightly, and his smile was a little bitter.

"Lord Dongbo thinks too much, I just want you to try the case, handle the case well, and avenge the concubine, and I will leave the imperial city with the Seventh Prince."

Dong Boyi was a little surprised, how could the Seventh Prince have the support of the Zhenbei General Zhao Yue and the Jiuyan forces, how could they have no intention of competing for the throne.

Seeing the change in Dong Boyi's expression, he didn't speak for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

Lu Luoxi said again:

"Concubine Qi also injured the Seven Princes when she poisoned her mother, and the Seven Princes may not be able to have a healthy body in this life."

When Dong Boyi heard this, he already wanted to try the case in his heart, but he still had some doubts.

"The minister is in prison, and I am afraid that I am powerless."

"Tobo-sama is actually using this as an excuse? Unexpectedly, the upright Dong Boyi was also afraid of power and did not dare to try the case. ”

Lu Luoxi saw that Dong Boyi already had the idea of taking over the case, so he spoke aggressively, and he was about to turn around and leave.

"Why don't I dare, I am willing to take this case."

Hearing Dong Boyi's words, a smile of victory appeared on Lu Luoxi's face, but when he turned around, he had already put away a smile on his face.

"What the minister said just now is just a test of words, the eldest princess should not think too much."

"Bengong Gang is also just angry with words, he just wants to seek justice for his mother's concubine, don't blame Lord Dongbo."

After that, Dong Boyi laughed, and the smile was very open.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall.

"Father, now that the evidence is available, I also ask my father to seek justice for my mother."

Lu Luoxi knelt in front of Emperor Shangyuan Lu Yunzhao, his eyes were red, and tears were already rolling in his eyes.

Lu Yunzhao hurriedly walked to Lu Luoxi and stretched out a pair of powerful hands to help her up.

"Xi'er rest assured, my father has put Concubine Qi under house arrest, and I will definitely give your mother a justice, but now no one is willing to preside over this case."

"Does the father mean that if there is a suitable presiding judge, the case will be heard?"

Lu Luoxi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked this question weakly.

"Of course."

Lu Yunzhao saw Lu Luoxi's pitiful appearance, and he didn't doubt him in his heart, so he blurted out.

"Na Xi'er, I am willing to recommend someone to my father, and he will definitely try this case fairly."

Lu Yunzhao suddenly felt that this Xi'er had set a trick for himself, but it was also difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to ask:

"Who do you want to recommend?"

"Dong Boyi."

Hearing Dong Boyi's name, Lu Yunzhao's brows furrowed slightly, thinking about the stakes.

Dongbo Yilian Zhongsanyuan, the champion hand-picked by himself, has nothing to say about his ability.

This time, he was imprisoned, but he also wanted him to sharpen himself and become a pillar of the court in the future.

It's just that if he intervenes in this matter this time, I don't know if it will make him fall to Jiuyan.

"Father, after hearing the case of Concubine Qing, I want to leave the imperial city with Jing Qian to go to my fiefdom."

Lu Luoxi saw Lu Yunzhao's doubts, and hurriedly spoke to try to dispel his concerns.

Lu Luoxi's words made Lu Yunzhao feel a little surprised, but there was no change in expression on his face.

"Why does Xi'er have this idea, you and Jing Qian stay by your father's side, so that your father can take good care of you both for your mother and concubine and ensure the safety of both of you."

Lu Yunzhao's words are mostly caring.

Lu Yunzhao understood in his heart that Lu Luoxi mentioned this matter at this time to reassure himself that Jiu Yan had no intention of forming a party, but just wanted to find someone to try the case.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, this Xi'er is really getting smarter and smarter.

"Father, rest assured, we will take care of ourselves, and we will come back to see our father often."

Regarding the departure of Lu Luoxi's sister and brother from Beijing, Lu Yunzhao still has to think about it.

However, Lu Luoxi's words made Lu Yunzhao understand that Old Yan did not have the idea of winning over Dong Boyi.

Immediately approved Lu Luoxi's idea.

"Xi'er, let's discuss the matter of leaving Beijing later. The father decided to let Dongbo Yi preside over the case. ”
