Shuntianfu, edict prison.

The expression on Sehazhi's face was indescribable, because what he was carrying now was the last thing he wanted to face.

First, the Empress Dowager was assassinated, but she was not injured, and all the assassins who entered the Palace of Heart Cultivation that night were wiped out.

Originally, everyone thought that this matter was over, just wait for the results of Jinyiwei's interrogation, and then go straight to Huanglong to destroy the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, things later went wrong, and all the Assassins bit through the poison sac in their back molars while being escorted, and died instantly.

It's nothing, just take precautions in the future, after all, although assassination is not common, it is definitely not rare.

But no one expected that the second wave of the offensive of the main messenger behind the scenes would come so quickly, and it was not in the form of conventional assassination, but in the way of poisoning.

This is serious, because it shows that the eight bureaus of the Ming Dynasty have been infiltrated, except for the poisoned Shangshi Bureau, no one knows if there are other places that have been infiltrated.

In the end, the task of interrogating these poisoners naturally fell to the head of Saihazhi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

However, looking at the results of the interrogation in front of him, Sehachi didn't know what to do for a while.

The one who ordered the Shangshi Bureau to poison the Empress Dowager was the mother of today's son, the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty?

Let's not talk about the truth or falsity of this confession, but who would dare to believe this confession?

You have to dare to believe it, for fear that everyone will have to stay away from you, for fear of being implicated.

However, now such a confession is placed in front of Sehazhi, which makes him have to believe it, because he has no way to continue the trial, and if the trial continues, I am afraid that the palace maids of the Shangshi Bureau who were arrested will die.

But the question is, what to do with this confession?

Just hand it over? That's definitely not going to work.

Sometimes facts are not necessarily facts, and officials only want to see what they want to see, not facts.

At present, the emperor's vein is facing this situation, and if this confession is handed over again, even if the entire emperor's vein collapses, he, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is the first to be pulled out and operated.

That conceals it and does not report it? Or just pull a substitute for the dead ghost and send it up? Not quite really.

Inside, Sehachi didn't want to believe the results of the interrogation, but for now, he didn't get any confession that differed from the results.

This means that, whether the confession is true or false, it is the most credible confession for now, because there is only one confession from the beginning to the end.

And, most importantly, this confession is directed at the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

It's okay if it's fake, if it's true, he, the commander of the brocade guard, will conceal it and not report it or just pull a substitute for the dead ghost to send it, it will be tantamount to giving the queen mother a chance to do it again.

You know, if the Queen Mother really had this kind of thinking, the chances of success were much higher than that of ordinary assassins.

Didn't you see that this poisoning was silent? If it weren't for the fact that the Empress Dowager had undertaken too many political affairs in the past two years, which led to some problems in her body in advance, which led to the early exposure of the poisoning plan, the Empress Dowager's poisoning plan would have been successful.

If this is concealed and not reported, or if you just catch a substitute ghost and send it to you, and finally lead to the death of the Empress Dowager, then he Saihazhi will not be pulled out as a substitute for the dead, but directly enter the game Nine Clans to eliminate fun.

So, what should he do?

Sehachi was momentarily confused.

With that confession, Sehachi left the prison, and he had to think carefully about how to deal with it, and it had to be quick, because there was not much time left for him.

Just when Saihazhi was worried, Xiangzhou Mansion was full of joy.

Compared with the surging Shuntian Mansion, this Xiangzhou Mansion is like a paradise in the world, and people are immersed in today's special day, because today is the wedding day of Zhu Zhanqi, the second son of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Wu in the Ming Dynasty.

Behind the man is the powerful Wu Wang Yimai, who controls the entire Ming Dynasty, and the female is the Qianning Wang Yimai, which has always been the most important in Wu Wang's first vein.

Now, what kind of changes will be brought about by these two forces becoming in-laws, can only be understood by anyone who understands.

It's just that Daming is not a fair era.

During the Yongle period, Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson of the emperor and the grandson of the emperor, got married, and the entire capital fell into a carnival, and Emperor Taizong gave amnesty to the world.

In addition, as the prince, Zhu Zhanji's wedding can also be described as huge, and the etiquette system is also quite cumbersome, which can be called the most in the world.

In contrast, Zhu Zhanyan, as the eldest son of Zhu Gaoxu, is much worse in terms of wedding regulations, not only can he only go to the Taimiao Temple to worship incense on the second day of the wedding, but he also can't worship heaven and earth at the Sheji altar like Zhu Zhanji did when he got married.

Compared with Zhu Zhanqi, the eldest son of Wu Wangyan, the wedding of Zhu Zhanqi's concubine is even simpler.

In addition to the different identities and the relatively large momentum of the wedding, Zhu Zhanqi's wedding is actually no different from that of ordinary people, the only difference may be that there is the participation of the Ministry of Etiquette, and at the same time, he has to enter the imperial mausoleum to worship.

It's just that it is located in Xiangzhou Mansion right now, and this matter of entering the imperial mausoleum to worship can only be made up in the future.

is different from the original experience as the protagonist, this time Zhu Zhanqi, as Zhu Zhanqi's elder brother, is also the object of everyone's stammering, he just sits in his place, watching his younger brother cross the most important stage in his life, while dealing with the officials who came to slap him.

"It's almost, you can go back first with the child."

Seeing the end of his brother's gift over there, Zhu Zhanyan turned his head and said to his wife first.

It's not that Hu Shanshu is not good at this kind of occasion, it's just that she is not needed to socialize today.

Although it is said that this Daming also has the so-called lady communication, but now it is Zhu Zhanyan's mother Princess Wu who is in charge of these, and it is not Hu Shanshu's turn, at most, Princess Wu and Hu Shanshu, who is the princess of King Wu.

However, Hu Shanshu is still with a child today, and Zhu Zhanyan will naturally not let her be tired of dealing with those who want to stammer.

After all, it was Zhu Zhanyan's idea to bring Zhu Qiming to the banquet, because only when his father, himself and his son were present could he express his importance to this younger brother to others, so that these people would be a little more restrained in the future.

"Then the concubine will retire first." Hu Shanshu looked around, then looked in the direction of Princess Wu, and finally turned around and nodded at Zhu Zhanyan.

Zhu Qiming is not very suitable for the climate here, and today's occasion is a little too noisy, for a child who is not yet a year old, this kind of occasion is not friendly, Zhu Qiming has been crying for a while.

"His Royal Highness."

As soon as Hu Shanshu left with his front foot, Zhu Ling saw a guard hurriedly running from the direction of the door.

It didn't take long for Zhu Ling to get the news conveyed by the guard and send it to Zhu Zhanyan's ears.

"I see." Zhu Zhan Yan was not surprised, as if he hadn't heard anything, and walked towards his younger brother with a wine glass.

For Zhu Zhanyan, everything is still under control, and although things sound incredible, they are all developing in the direction he had never thought about before, but he hoped for the most.

So, he wasn't in a hurry at all.
