In the middle of the night, he led people to follow the city guards to guard the city gate all night, and no one left the city except for King Ryan.

Got up early, opened the city gate on time, and sent someone to ask Zhou Gu for instructions at midnight.

After Zhou Gu listened to the report, he learned that Su Rong and Ye Guixue had not returned overnight, and sent him a message so that he could come back, but arranged for someone to watch at the city gate to see who went out of the city and entered the city today.

In the middle of the night, he got a message, arranged a few people, and went back to the Protector's Mansion by himself.

The emperor was woken up by a shout earlier, and when he woke up to see that the person serving was not Yu An, remembering that Yu An was still being detained and waiting to be disposed of, he rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "What happened last night?" ”

The eunuch who was temporarily promoted to serve the emperor was called Dewang, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, there was nothing wrong last night." ”

The emperor nodded, and the early dynasty was served by people.

The second prince Yanlin was not held accountable by the emperor, and he still appeared obediently in the early court today, in fact, he wanted to be sick and not go to the court, and he didn't want the emperor to see him at this time, think of him, and be implicated, and also sent him to the Imperial Forest Army to be encircled in the palace.

However, the staff advised him that the more he was at this time, the more he could not be vain, and he had to stand upright in the early court, so as not to have something that involved him, and he could not defend himself in front of the court.

Yan Lin thought about it, so he could only bite the bullet and go to the early dynasty.

He originally thought that the princes except for the prince Yan echo, he would come to the early court today, after all, among the four princes who can be qualified to go to the court, the eldest prince is trapped in the mansion, and the four princes are about to be decided because of Li Concubine's involvement, and now although there is no holy decree to deal with him, he no longer dares to go to the court. But he didn't think about it, he saw the fourth prince Yan Shen in the early court.

Moreover, Yan Shen's face was not a little frightened.

Yan Lin was very surprised in his heart.

The emperor came to the early court on time, glanced at the courtiers standing below, and a little of them were sick. Obviously, they are all people from the big prince's faction and some timid people, for fear of implicating themselves.

The emperor snorted coldly in his heart, his eyes swept over Yan Lin, Yan Lin only felt that his heart was tight, and his scalp was a little numb, but the emperor quickly looked away, his eyes fell on Yan Shen, and his face sank suddenly when he remembered what happened to Concubine Li and yesterday in the palace.

Yan Shen clenched his hands hard in his sleeves, as if to cheer himself up, staring at the emperor's heavy gaze that fell on him, he paced out of the ranks with difficulty, knelt on the ground, and said word by word: "Father, Concubine Li Niangniang is wronged, Erchen requests to continue to investigate thoroughly, for Concubine Li's mother's body, and Erchen is also willing to die to prove the innocence of Concubine Li." ”

As soon as he said this, the hall was in an uproar.

The emperor was also surprised, he didn't expect Yan Shen to make this matter clear in the court, and his words were so unsparing, he actually said the words that had died to prove Concubine Li's innocence? The emperor's gloomy face looked at Yan Shen in disbelief for a moment.

Yan Shen lowered his head and still said: "Please call the shots, Concubine Li's case is full of suspicions, King Ruian went out of Beijing to investigate the case in the Big Buddha Temple last night, and it is also related to Concubine Li's case." Therefore, the son asked his father to put aside the case for the time being, and wait for King Ryan to find out the truth before making a final conclusion. ”

Hearing this, the emperor looked at the courtiers, "King Ryan went out of Beijing to investigate the case last night?" ”

The courtiers replied in twos and threes: "Back to Your Majesty, exactly." ”

The emperor looked at the crown prince Yan and echoed, "Yesterday in the palace, didn't you find out?" Why did King Ryan go out of Beijing at night again? ”

Yan echoed his hand, "Back to my father, King Ruian has found suspicions, and there are still doubts about the case of Concubine Li. ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and said to Yan Shen, "Get up!" I'm right. ”

Yan Shen stood up and returned to the queue.

Yan Lin was shocked, looked at Yan Shen, then at the emperor, and then at the crown prince Yan echo, and seemed to understand something. Annoyed in his heart, why did Yan Echo help Yan Shen? Recently, King Ruian has been close to the East Palace and the Protector's Mansion, and King Ruian went to the Big Buddha Temple to investigate the case, specifying that it is the meaning of the East Palace.

Is it because he is not deeply involved enough that you want to drag him into the water?

Yan Lin immediately forgot that he should shrink back, and bowed his hand, "Father, do you know that last night, the people in the Protector's Mansion held the token of the eldest princess of Sheng'an, and guarded the gate gate of the capital with the city gatekeeper, saying that except for His Majesty's will, no one is allowed to leave the capital late at night?" ”

Naturally, the emperor didn't know about this, and when he heard it, "Oh? "Why?" ”

Yan Lin shook his head, "Erchen doesn't know why, this is to ask the people of the Protector's Mansion?" ”

Today is not a big court, no one is standing in the court, the three grandsons of the old protector are in the army, the younger grandson has not yet entered the court and is waiting for the list to be released to recuperate, and the old protector himself will only go to the court in the court, so the emperor wants to ask the people of the protector's mansion, but he can't find anyone.

He could only look at Prince Yan's echo.

Yan echoed his hand, "Back to my father, Miss Su Qi and the second son of the night went out of Beijing to the Big Buddha Temple last night, Aunt Sheng An's grandmother didn't worry about the safety of the two, and she didn't want to alarm her father and emperor in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep well, so she informed the ministers that the master sent someone to guard the city gate with the soldiers guarding the city, in case someone in Beijing followed the two of them out, which was not good for them." ”

As soon as the emperor heard that Su Rong and Ye Guixue were in danger, the safety of these two people was naturally tightened, and his face suddenly softened, "What are the two of them going out of the city to the Big Buddha Temple late at night?" ”

Yan Huisheng replied, "During the day, Miss Su Qi saved her aunt and grandmother and mother, and found doubts at night, so she went to the Big Buddha Temple." ”

The Emperor's jaw.

Yan Lin said: "In that case, why did you let King Ruian out of the city later?" ”

Yan Echo glanced at Yan Lin, "Lord Ruian is investigating this case, and he was going to go out of the city, but Miss Su Qi and Ye Er Gongzi took the first step." ”

Yan Lin was blocked, and there were no words.

The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, Concubine Li's case is very involved, involving several major cases, and the eldest princess of Sheng'an should be cautious." ”

Yan Lin was speechless, thinking that his father had really changed, if before, he heard that the eldest princess of Sheng'an actually used the token, and sent people to guard the city gate with the soldiers guarding the city gate in the middle of the night, and he suspected that the Protector Mansion had any purpose of threatening the imperial power, but now it is good, just with the prince's explanation, this matter will be passed lightly.

Although Yan Lin was dissatisfied, he had no reason to do so, so he could only go back.

The Emperor waved his hand, "Go on!" There is a play. ”

The emperor was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that the Protector Mansion and Aunt Sheng An began to ignore him as the emperor again, but he flowed out all the silver from the treasury, which was indeed a loss, so he didn't care about it for the time being.

When he returned to the house, Su Rong had already gone to the East Palace, and when he woke up in the morning, he knew that he had not returned to the house all night, and asked Mrs. Shen, only to learn that she had somehow found the night to return to the snow and went out of the city last night. Su Xing didn't know what was going on, thinking that Jingzhong was not good at all, what his sister was doing, unlike in a small place in Jiangning County, if he stared at her from time to time, it would be difficult to know what she was doing at the first time.

Su Xing went to the Protector's Mansion as usual to look for care.

Zhou Gu saw him coming, put down the scroll, and asked Su Xing, "Brother Su, do you know what she did when she went out of the city with Ye Guixue last night?" ”

Su Xing was surprised, "You don't know? ”

Zhou Gu looked at his expression and shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Su Xing also shook his head at him, "I don't know, when I went back last night, she wasn't in the mansion and didn't see her." However, I heard Aunt Shen say that she should have decided to leave from the East Palace temporarily, otherwise she would have informed Aunt Shen when she left yesterday. ”

Zhou Gu was silent, "It shouldn't be going to Nanchu, right?" ”

Su Xing immediately shook his head, "No, she said that she didn't help the prince break the game, she didn't see the prince's position stable, she didn't wait for me to release the list, and she didn't see her sisters make a family appointment, she won't leave Daliang." ”

Zhou Gu nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered, "She has a lot to do." ”

Su Xing speculated: "My sister should have found some clues, so she left Beijing in a hurry last night, probably to check something, and she was in a hurry, so she didn't inform me and Aunt Shen." ”

"It should be related to several cases." Zhou Gu bowed, "My injury is really slow." Otherwise, you don't have to stay in the house honestly and can't go out. ”

Su Xing patted him on the shoulder, "It's a big deal for you to recuperate." ”
