Chapter 42: The Cause of the Princess's Death

"What!" Emperor Qi sat up in shock, struggled to open the bed curtain, and wanted to ask: "What's going on!" ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen purchased a new batch of jewelry yesterday, and was about to be transported into the Imperial Tomb, and found that the main tomb seemed to have traces of being pried open, Wechen went in to take a look, and found that more than half of the gold, silver and jewelry in it had been stolen, and more seriously, the dragon robe was gone." Lord Zhang looked panicked, kowtowed and shouted: "Weichen is not doing well, please ask Your Majesty to give the minister the death penalty!" ”

When Emperor Qi heard that he was not dead, the imperial tomb was destroyed, and he was so angry that he coughed.

"Now that I have given you the death penalty, will the dragon robe come back?" The Empress Dowager is also the first time to hear that the dragon robe was stolen, which is related to the dignity of the royal family, if it is known, it will not be laughed off, "The top priority is to get the dragon robe back, but what clues are there?" ”

Master Zhang looked embarrassed, and then picked up a piece of broken fabric from his sleeve: "This was found next to the door of the tomb, it should be the corner of the tomb robber's clothes that was accidentally torn by the tomb door when he went out." ”

The Empress Dowager made her eyes, and the guards hurriedly presented the fabric, Dou looked at it carefully, but frowned, this seems to be a floating brocade, now this kind of cloth is rare, there are only three horses in the Li Kingdom, and it happened to be given to the three princes, so ......

Dou was suddenly silent, Emperor Qi was puzzled, snatched the fragment and recognized it as Fuguang Jin at a glance, and instantly became angry, he was not dead, his son was in such a hurry to wear a dragon robe to be the emperor, who is it! Emperor Qi's fierce eyes swept over his three sons.

Huo Yan was also shocked when he saw the fabric, he advocated simplicity, the floating brocade rewarded by his father had been placed in the mansion and had not yet been made into ready-to-wear clothes, he was not worried about being framed, but... Who was so bold to do this great thing of rebellion?

Huo Ze's eyes were faint, as if he had expected such a thing, he was not in a hurry, as if he was confident.

On the other hand, Huo Quan, shaking his body and looking panicked, he didn't do this, but if the dragon robe was discovered, he said that it was offered by Lord Zhang, would anyone believe it, he had to go out and ask someone to send a message to Qu Ping and let her destroy the dragon robe.

"Father, the son wants a small solution." Huo Quan made an excuse to sneak out.

"Go behind the screen." Where would Emperor Qi give him this opportunity and order the guards to take him behind the screen.

"Someone, pass on my order, and order Yue Xun to lead the troops to search the mansions of the three princes and find out the floating brocade and dragon robe!" Emperor Qi tore down the curtain of the bed and ordered, he wanted to see who was so impatient.

Huo Quan, who was behind the screen, staggered and overpowered the screen, revealing his white buttocks, and Emperor Qi's face became even darker.

After Yue Xun received the order, he went to the prince's mansion with the Imperial Forest Army, and before leaving, Rou Yun intimately tied a peace charm for him.

"Husband, be careful on the road, I will take good care of the house."

Yue Xun kissed her lightly on the forehead: "I'm afraid there will be big changes in the palace, you help me pacify the family, don't go out, everyone stays in the house." ”

"I know, don't worry." Rou Yun squeezed his hand and motioned for him to hurry up.

Yue Xun mobilized the Xuanwu army to divide into two routes, going to the Three Princes' Mansion and the Six Princes' Mansion, and he himself led the Imperial Forest Army to the Five Princes' Mansion. Huo Yan is a person he believes in and will never do such a rebellious thing, and Huo Ze is insidious and intelligent, and will never leave any handle, so the only person who is most likely to do this is Huo Quan, whether he was framed or not, this matter has nothing to do with him.

When the Imperial Forest Army broke into the Five Princes' Mansion, everyone in the palace was busy hanging white silk for Xue Zhengfei's funeral.

"General Yue suddenly broke in, but what's the matter?" Qu Ping's voice trembled, could it be that the palace already knew the cause of Xue's death?

Yue Xun didn't look at Qu Ping, and took out the token to announce Emperor Qi's will: "Your Majesty has a will, search the mansions of the three princes, and ask the side concubine Niangniang not to stop it." ”

Qu Ping was shocked, Huo Quanlong's robe should still be in the study, if it was searched, the consequences would be unimaginable, she looked at the currently handsome man, tried to squeeze out a few tears, and pleaded softly: "Concubine Zheng just left yesterday, General Yue will let the deceased enter the ground first." "Now the plan can only drag out the time and transport the dragon robe out.

Yue Xun's deep narrow eyes stared at her, slowly frowned, and said coldly: "I hope that the side concubine will not delay His Majesty's orders." ”

Seeing that this plan didn't work, Qu Ping thought that he and the person in front of him almost became husband and wife, thinking of the previous friendship, it should have a role, so he deliberately approached, his cherry lips opened lightly, and he shouted softly and seductively: "Is Xun Lang really not caring about the old love?" Seeing that the man didn't move too much, he simply took the courage to put his whole body close to the coquettish and said, "Is it okay for Xunlang to help Ping'er?" ”

As soon as the woman approached, Yue Xun was choked by the smell of fat powder on her body, and now she actually wanted to try to get close to herself, Yue Xun didn't want to hold the sword directly across the middle of the woman's neck, stopping her movements.

"The side concubine is self-respecting, and the insiders are jealous, don't let Yue be a bad person." Yue Xun's words were as cold as the long sword.

Qu Ping wanted to go further, but she was directly cut off by Yue Xun's sideburns in front, and there was also a faint blood mark on her neck, she hurriedly stepped back and staggered to the table.

"Offended." Yue Xun waved his hand: "Search!" ”

The Imperial Forest Army broke into each room separately, Qu Ping wanted to stop it but couldn't find any excuse, so he could only clench his fists and pray that Huo Quan had destroyed the dragon robe, but unfortunately, people who are greedy for power, where are they willing to give up this thing, and soon the Royal Forest Army held the dragon robe and presented it.

Yue Xun took his hand and found that there was an obvious pool of blood on the dragon robe, and the color seemed to have just been dyed, he looked at the curved screen that collapsed to the side, thought for a moment and moved his gaze to the coffin, and ordered in a deep voice: "Open the coffin." ”

Qu Ping raised his hand to stop something, and finally lowered his head to Shang Yuexun's emotionless eyes.

After the coffin was opened, Yue Xun looked at the red cloth covering Xue's head, and when he opened it, he saw that it was really good, and there was an obvious wound on Xue's forehead.

"What's going on?" As soon as Yue Xun's words came out, no one around dared to answer.

Seeing this, Yue Xun sneered: "What is the situation in the house now, I think you also know that both horizontal and vertical are a death, if someone is willing to atone for their sins, maybe they can still save a small life." ”

Yue Xun's words were indeed very attractive, and soon a maid stood up: "Back to the general, the slave knows what's going on!" ”

With the drive of this maid, more and more subordinates soon stood up, scrambling to talk about the secret affairs of the prince's mansion that they knew.

Yue Xun stopped everyone and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to bring them into the palace, Huo Quan's affairs he didn't dare to be interested, what did he say to Emperor Qi, when he passed through Quping, he did not stop, and ordered her to be imprisoned in the cell with his subordinates.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, when Yue Xun placed the naked evidence in front of Emperor Qi, the king's eyes were so dark that he fainted, but fortunately, the imperial physician applied the needle in time to make him slowly wake up.

"In addition to stealing the dragon robe, what other crazy things have you done, huh?" Emperor Qi gasped, he was already planning to pass the throne to him, he was so anxious!

Huo Quan cried and shouted: "My father is wronged, my son has never done it, my son doesn't know why the dragon robe is in the house, my son is wronged!" Huo Quan didn't dare to say that it was offered by Lord Zhang, wouldn't this be tantamount to admitting that he had formed a party for personal gain? He wanted to step forward and hug Emperor Qi, but was kicked away by Emperor Qi's best efforts.

Emperor Qi picked up the floating brocade with broken horns just presented by the Imperial Forest Army, and threw it in front of Huo Quan: "You didn't do it?" What is it? Coincidentally, the corners of your broken clothes match those found in the Imperial Tomb? Well? ”

Huo Quan shuddered and compared, how did he know how it could be like this, he couldn't find Xu Cheng in this dress, why did he suddenly run out by himself, he wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to speak.

"Your Majesty, the concubines think that the five princes are not this kind of people, is there any misunderstanding, let's listen to what the people in the prince's mansion have to say." Concubine Wen Guifei helped Huo Quan speak for the first time, and Empress Xue's heart was sudden, it would never be so simple at this time.

Emperor Qi was ruthless after all, and it happened that the concubine gave the steps, so he temporarily suppressed his anger and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to escort the prince's mansion up.

"I say I say it, I say it all!" A maid was frightened and seemed to be a little crazy, she looked at everyone's eyes and brightened, crawled over and grabbed the skirt of Queen Xue and shouted: "Niangniang, Queen Niang, you have to be the master for Miss, Niangniang." ”

Empress Xue screamed loudly, and when the guards pulled the maid away, she looked at it and realized that this was not the personal maid next to her niece, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the maid's sleeve and asked, "Liuli, what's going on!" ”

Liuli cried: "Concubine Zheng went to visit the five princes last night, but who knew that there was a noise in the courtyard, and the slave maid did not dare to approach without an order, but after a while, there was no sound, and after a while, Concubine Zheng was carried out, and her head was so bloody that she didn't even close her eyes." Liuli cried heartbreakingly: "Today, the house will bury the concubine with the death of the concubine, but where is the concubine who died of illness, the queen, you have to be the master of the young lady." ”

After hearing this, Xue Hou's body was crooked, but fortunately she was supported by Huo Quan on the side, she looked at Huo Quan's empty eyes, anger came from it, and she slapped him to the ground.

"Bastard thing! What have you done! Empress Xue burst into tears, although she was a distant niece, but Concubine Zheng was sensible and respected her a lot, and she was related by blood, how could she not care.

Concubine Wen pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that the hidden dragon robe was broken, kill the concubine." After that, the concubine patted her head and pretended: "Look at what I say, the wife of the chaff, the fifth prince should be unbearable." ”

But Huo Quan's appearance of being hit by someone affirmed the concubine's thoughts, and Empress Xue pushed Huo Quan, who was holding him, and it was useless, how could he fall in love with such a fool.

The Empress Dowager clenched the scepter, killed his wife, and plotted rebellion... This great-grandson was even more ruthless than his father, and she swept over the people kneeling outside the hall, and simply ordered someone to bring them up, and said enough at once.
