Chapter 214: Truthfulness (2nd Update)
After the emperor ordered the three divisions to jointly investigate the case, he additionally appointed King Ruian as the chief judge, and as King Ruian left the palace, the news that he took over the assassination of Princess Qingping also spread throughout the palace and beyond.
Xie Lin was shocked, how long had his father not been so used by His Majesty? Ruian Wangfu has never dared to make mistakes, and his father can also mess around, not seeking merit but no fault. Over time, he almost felt that it was not bad for his father to mess around like this, and he would simply mess around in the future, in short, just support the courtyard of the Ruian Palace. It's easy anyway.
From the dragon's work or something, his father never thought about it, and he didn't want to. Therefore, for so many years, he has not made up with the prince, nor with other princes, and he can mix with it.
What's going on now? Why did His Majesty suddenly hand over such a big matter to his father?
In his opinion, isn't the assassination of Princess Qingping a big deal? At the court meeting, His Majesty deliberately applied for the Dali Temple because of the mistake in the Dali Temple, and ordered the three divisions to join forces, and now he has brought his father out, which is comparable to the imperial assassination case.
He thought that Princess Qingping was really favored by His Majesty, but it was wrong to think about it, even if Princess Qingping was favored again, it would be enough for the three divisions to join forces to investigate, so why use his father?
He couldn't figure it out, so he went to his mother, "Mother, have you heard? Your Majesty has ordered my father, the King, to preside over the assassination of Princess Qingping."
Princess Ryan was watering the flowers and nodded, "I just heard."
She glanced back at Xie Lin, "This matter is very sudden, if Your Majesty had planned it earlier, he would have said it at the court meeting this morning, but he didn't mention it at the court meeting, and after the court meeting, he called your father into the palace, indicating that it was a sudden idea." Wait for your father to come back and see what he has to say."
Xie Lin nodded.
Princess Ryan put down the kettle, "After the scientific examination is released, I want to book your family affairs, except for that Qin Luan, which young lady do you ...... to?"
"Mother, spare me! Except for Qin Luan, I don't want to marry anyone now." Xie Lin raised his feet and left, thinking to himself, he shouldn't have come to ask his mother.
He walked so fast that he was almost gone.
Princess Ryan was almost angry with him, and turned to her personal grandmother and said, "Look at him, when it comes to family affairs, you can't say a word. That Qin Luan has already entered the East Palace, even if he doesn't enter the East Palace, he is already the daughter of a criminal minister, how can he marry?"
The personal grandmother comforted, "The little prince is still young, so he is not in a hurry. The little prince of Zhou in the Protectorate Mansion is about the same age as the little prince, although he has already made a marriage, but what does he care? Isn't it a divorce? After two years, our little prince will be stable, and he will naturally let go of Qin Luan, which girl do you like when the time comes, and then match him, he should not be so resistant. After all, young Muai, it takes time to let go."
Princess Ryan sighed, "That's right."
Speaking of Zhou Gu, she couldn't help but think of Su Rong, Princess Ryan wiped her hands with a handkerchief and sat down, "Su Rong is really like the county lord of Zhenmin back then."
The intimate grandmother nodded, "If the princess sends someone to check, maybe it really matters?"
Princess Ryan shook her head, "Where is my turn to check, but anyone who has seen her, I'm afraid someone has already checked, after all, even the prince, who is not very popular, has been suspicious since he saw her that day, let alone others?" There are many people who know the lord of Zhenmin County in this capital, if you talk about fast movements, who and those princes? Even if they were young at the time and couldn't remember what Lord Zhenmin looked like, someone from his own subordinates told them."
The intimate mother thought about it too.
Princess Ryan added, "Wait and see, you'll always know."
Prince Yan Echo naturally got the news, and immediately thought that the old protector was afraid that he had informed his father Su Rong's life experience, and his father knew that the assassination of Princess Qingping was aimed at Su Rong, so he moved out of the Ruian Mansion to preside over the case.
He thought to himself that it was still the old protector who knew his father, so that he would have to spend a lot of effort and take care of the palace to carefully and thoroughly investigate.
He immediately called the secret guard and ordered, "Secretly let people cooperate with King Ryan."
The secret guard should have immediately withdrawn all the people from the East Palace to thoroughly investigate the case.
Yan Echo thought for a moment and ordered, "Go and pass a message to Miss Seven again, so that she doesn't have to do it recently."
What, just wait with peace of mind. She has done enough in Beijing, and it is inevitable that things will be reversed, and she will not be able to do too much."
The Dark Guard should be.
When Su Rong received Yan Echo's message, he had just woken up and was sitting at the table, lazily waiting for lunch to be delivered from the kitchen.
She didn't expect that the old protector guild rushed to the court meeting today, entered the palace and told the emperor her identity, she took the identity of the old protector, stood in his point of view, thought for a while, and basically guessed the intention of the old protector.
The old protector is helping her, and he is also indirectly helping Yan Echo.
If the emperor knew her identity, he would definitely not allow anyone to kill her in this capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven. Especially the forces infiltrated by Southern Chu, he is so powerful that even the crown prince can't tolerate it, let alone the people of Southern Chu to make trouble?
In addition, whether he knows or not, whether he knows the relationship between the prince and her, it does not prevent him from knowing that the person who wants to kill him must not be the prince, since the queen of Nanchu has found the queen, she can also find others, and the queen has taken it because of the prince, so what about others? This is instead an opportunity for Yan Echo.
Thinking of this, Su Rong sighed lightly, worthy of being an old protector of the country, on foresight, on judging the situation, if she didn't make a move, she would make a move, and the situation that she stirred up was pushed to the peak in an instant.
The prince was right, now she really didn't have to do anything.
King Ruian went to Dali Temple, read the file, and after questioning everyone, he sent someone to call Jingzhao Yin Yin Li Shu for questioning, after Li Shu confessed, King Ruian always felt that something was wrong, and asked Dali Temple Qing on the side: "What about the young man named Feng Ling?"
Dali Siqing hurriedly said: "He said that the investigation of the case was boring, and he left early this morning."
King Ryan asked, "Where have you been?"
Dali Siqing immediately said, "It should be to go to the Shen Mansion, after all, I heard that his sister has lived in the Shen Mansion, that is, that Miss Su Qi."
Ryan nodded.
Dali Siqing asked, "If the prince asks him, the lower official will send someone to call him?"
"No need, this king will go to the princess's mansion first, and if necessary, he will go to the Shen mansion to ask him personally." Ryan Wang waved his hand.
Dali Siqing asked, "Can the prince be accompanied by the lower officials?"
The Ryan Mansion shook his head, "This king can go by himself, and you will carefully check the people who were on duty that day, since the poison cannot fly in out of thin air, it must be that you have neglected something, so you have not found out the omission."
Dali Temple should be.
King Ryan went to the princess's mansion by himself.
When Princess Qingping heard that King Ryan personally brought someone to the door to investigate her assassination, she thought about it several times and called a person to order, "Go and call the horse back quickly."
The man should have been, and went immediately.
Princess Qingping sent someone to serve tea to King Ruian first, saying that she would arrive later, but in fact she was sitting in the house, waiting for the horse to come back, and discussing with him whether the cold arrow was aimed at Su Rongfang that day, whether it was truthful, or according to the original words of her entering the palace to sue the emperor that day.
If it is true, then it will overturn the earlier statement, and it will be a deception. But if she doesn't tell the truth, this case is obviously not easy to investigate, and she still hopes to find out who is behind the scenes.
He couldn't get out of his body for a while, so he lowered his voice and ordered the visitor, "I can't go back for a while, tell the princess that since it is King Ryan who came to the door in person, His Majesty ordered him to preside over the case, which is the intention of investigating to the end, so that the princess can tell the truth."
The person who came got the word and immediately went back.
King Ryan drank three cups of tea before Princess Qingping was late.
Princess Qingping deliberately looked uncomfortable, "Lord forgive me, I suffered from the cold yesterday, and I feel a little unwell today, so I have kept you waiting for a long time."
King Ryan hurriedly said, "Soon it was the unfortunate arrival of this king. This king has a few words about the assassination of the princess, and he specially came to ask the princess, and he will leave after asking."
Princess Qingping nodded and directly described the situation that day, this time she didn't hide it at all.
When King Ruian heard this, he thought that something was wrong from here, he didn't believe that Dali Siqing didn't notice it, but the old fox didn't dare to come to the door to question Princess Qingping
After all, when this princess entered the palace to sue the royal court, she said that the cold arrow was placed on her, and if she turned over her confession, it would be considered a bully. He would rather be reprimanded by His Majesty than be burned. new
Qingping did not admit that he had deceived the king, "This palace was frightened at the time, and was frightened for two days, and when the matter was over, after thinking about it carefully, I remembered what had happened. Lord Wang, since you are trusted by the imperial brother and take on this important responsibility, you must find out. Regardless of what happened to that arrow at the time, if you put a cold arrow at the carriage of the main palace, you will murder the main palace."
King Ryan nodded, "Rest assured, Princess."
He stood up, "Rest Princess, this king should do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust."
