A quarter of an hour later.

Liu Zhong came to the Five Princes' Mansion to deliver the decree.

"I've seen the Fifth Highness!"

"Father-in-law Liu, what is the will of my father?"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty."

"The five princes are shrewd and intelligent, and they are discerning, and they specially ordered the five princes to thoroughly investigate the assassination case and save the royal face." Gonggong Liu was very skilled in conveying the dictation of Emperor Xiaoyuan.

Ji Tianci pondered the dictate of Emperor Xiaoyuan.

Emperor Xiaoyuan's dictation is very interesting.

In addition to thoroughly investigating the assassination, it is also necessary to save the royal face.

What does it mean?

It's the assassin's mastermind, and he has to be caught.

If the mastermind behind the scenes is an outsider, it must be cracked down on and the royal majesty should be restored.

If the mastermind behind the scenes is a member of the royal family, in order to save the face of the royal family, he will deal with it privately internally, and find a backstabber externally to bear the charge.

In short, no matter what the results are.

The external statement is that there are traitors who want to harm him, and the assassination cannot be related to the royal fight.

Ji Tianci comprehended, a little dissatisfied, and then asked.

"Father-in-law Liu, what else does my father want?"

"Your Majesty also said, what about Xiaque?"

Ji Tianci pursed his lips.

As a cheap father, he can't give it well, and he is hungry for his poetry, which is too much.

"Father-in-law Liu, Gu was frightened by the assassination yesterday and suffered from selective amnesia."

"Selective amnesia?"

Liu Zhong was confused for a long time, what kind of disease is this?

"Your Highness, is it serious?"

"It's not serious!"

"It's just that in my head, something I forgot!" Ji Tianci's tone was full of ridicule.

Liu Zhong felt a sigh in his heart, and had a bad premonition.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, what have you forgotten?"

"Unfortunately, I just forgot about Xiaque!" Ji Tianci said in a flat tone.

Liu Zhong was momentarily stunned.

Selective amnesia!

I forgot about the next que!

Isn't this a scoundrel!

The excuse used is so bizarre.

"Fifth Highness, do you want the imperial doctor to take a look?" Liu Zhong asked tentatively.

Ji Tianci shook his head again and again.

"A little illness, don't bother the imperial doctor!"

"Lone was surprised by the Assassin and developed selective amnesia."

"When the assassin is brought to justice, Lone's amnesia will naturally be fine!"

Liu Zhong's face was very embarrassed.

Of course, he knew that Emperor Xiaoyuan liked the poems written by Ji Tianci very much, and he tasted them every day these days.

I can't get it myself, so it's hard to explain it to Your Majesty.

"Your Highness, you really can't remember?"

"Humph!"

"Gonggong Liu, are you questioning me for bullying the king?" Ji Tianci snorted coldly, looking displeased.

"Don't dare! Can't! ”

"Your Royal Highness, your filial piety is commendable, how can you bully the king?"

Liu Zhong shook his head again and again.

Seeing Ji Tianci's appearance of not entering the oil and salt, he was really sad.

Ji Tianci also knew that Liu Zhong was embarrassed, and said.

"Gonggong Liu, you will truthfully report Lone's words to your father. If your father scolds, you will bear it alone! ”

Liu Zhong opened his lips and squirmed a few times, but finally there was no word in his throat.

The embarrassment and melancholy on his face finally turned into a faint sigh.

As soon as Gonggong Liu left with his front foot, another uninvited guest came from his back foot.

The visitor was Ji Tianci's third brother, the third prince.

"Bring the third prince to the study to see me."

"In addition, please ask the princess and Hu Bo and others to sit behind the screen."

Ji Tianci commanded in an orderly manner.

Soon, the third prince came to the study under the leadership of the maid.

"I've seen the third brother!"

"Fifth brother, you're welcome, are you feeling better?"

"Third brother, I heard that the fifth brother was assassinated and injured, so I specially brought a hundred-year-old vermilion fruit to replenish your vitality for the fifth brother."

As he spoke, the third prince put the sandalwood box on top of the coffee table.

The sandalwood box was opened, and the rich medicinal fragrance of Zhuguo permeated the study.

"Thank you, third brother!"

Ji Tianci was not polite at all, and accepted the hundred-year-old Zhuguo very happily.

He knew that it was fake for the third prince to visit him.

The real purpose is to definitely hear about Steward Zhang's bite on him, and he wants to be in a hurry to clear up the relationship.

Ji Tianci was not in a hurry, and chatted slowly with the third prince.

After greeting for a while, the third prince couldn't sit still, and took the initiative to involve the topic on Steward Zhang.

"Fifth brother, third brother heard that the eldest brother's housekeeper was sent to Dali Temple, and the charge was to collude with me."

"This charge is ridiculous!"

"That housekeeper, I've never seen it before, how can I collude with him."

"Fifth brother, you can't listen to the sophistry of the dog minion."

Ji Tianci took a sip of fragrant tea and did not reply immediately, but showed a noncommittal smile on his face.

"Third brother, you really have nothing to do with Steward Zhang?"

The voice fell, and the atmosphere in the study was a little cold.

It's silent.

The pin drop can be heard.

"Fifth brother, you have to believe the third brother!"

"The third brother can swear to the sky, Steward Zhang is definitely not my person."

The third prince was a little anxious.

Steward Zhang bit him, which was obviously the prince's plan, in order to muddy the water.

He was really afraid that Ji Tianci would believe Steward Zhang's nonsense and aim the finger at him.

Because of this, after he got the news, he couldn't wait to come to the Five Princes' Mansion.

Ji Tianci secretly observed the demeanor of the three princes.

found that what the third prince just said did not look like a lie.

Moreover, Ji Tianci originally felt in his heart that the possibility of the assassination case being related to the third prince was extremely low.

"Third brother, don't worry!"

"Between you and me, there is a deep brotherhood."

"How could I believe the words of a dog minion to sow discord."

Ji Tianci said with a smile.

When the third prince heard this, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

I thought to myself.

Fortunately, this old fifth brain is not stupid.

For a while, in the study, it was like this again, and it was happy.

If people who don't know see it, they really think that between Ji Tianci and the three princes, there is a deep brotherhood and brotherhood.

After a while, the third prince took his leave under the pretext of late at night.

After the third prince left, Ji Tianci walked behind the screen.

Behind the screen, there were four people: An Weiyang, Aunt Qing, Hu Bo and Mama Li.

Ji Tianci's gaze looked at Hu Bo.

He knew that Hu Bo had a conscience and could see the truth of what the three princes said.

"The oath that the third prince made just now did not lie."

"Steward Zhang, it's really not his person."

Huber said slowly.

His judgment did not surpass the judgment of everyone present.

"Steward Zhang is most likely a pawn pushed out by the prince to divert his attention."

"As long as you can pry his mouth open, you can be sure that the prince is behind the assassination." Ji Tianci's expression was calm and methodically analyzed.

The current clues and confessions are only missing from Steward Zhang.

As soon as Steward Zhang speaks, the assassination case can be deducted from the prince's head.

"This is a great opportunity to hit the crown prince, and we can't let it go!"

"We must take advantage of this opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on the prince!"

An Weiyang's eyes revealed a deep excitement.

She felt that the plan she had made to lure the snake out of the hole was too correct.

Sure enough, the big snake of the prince was introduced.

Ji Tianci's response was also perfect beyond her imagination.

stabbed himself and made it look like he was seriously injured, and suddenly occupied the moral high ground.

With lightning speed, he made a big fuss in Shaofu Temple, made a big fuss, and got the most important confession.

"Now it's just Steward Zhang's confession!"

"I hope Lin Datong can surprise me!"
