Chapter 195: Rivalry

Su Sheng said.

"This king boldly guessed, maybe the crown princess already knew that the queen or the emperor would be poisoned? Therefore, it is no coincidence that this antidote was prepared in advance. ”

Shen Ruoxi raised her eyebrows.

"What does Prince Rong mean, I directed and acted in this detoxification scene? Isn't it ridiculous that I'm tossing like this? ”

"The more ridiculous it is, the more true it is, because no one will suspect you, and maybe you will use someone else as a scapegoat."

Su Sheng looked at her coldly, and said word by word.

He has been in the top position all year round, and his eyes are oppressive.

Shen Ruoxi stood in place and looked at him, although he felt pressure, he was also calm and fearless.

"Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, according to Prince Rong's meaning, if I don't take out the antidote to save my mother today, I am not suspicious, but now I have saved my mother, not only is it useless, but I am guilty?"

With that, she bowed her hand slightly towards Emperor Renjing.

"Father, the son of the queen of detoxification, did not think much about anything else, only wanted to save the queen mother, but now Prince Rong is so suspicious of the son, he is really a villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman!"

Hearing this, Emperor Renjing's eyes sank slightly, and he was about to speak, but he saw that the great commander Song Tao had returned.

But he didn't come back alone, there were several guards behind him, carrying a man.

A wet corpse, to be exact.

Shen Ruoxi glanced at it and recognized it, it was the eunuch Xiaoshunzi beside the emperor.

Song Tao knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the minister took someone to investigate, and the others were not very suspicious, but the father-in-law of Xiao Shunzi, who often served by your side, was very suspicious, and the minister was ready to bring Xiao Shunzi to interrogate, but his body was found in the lake behind."

Xiao Junzi's wet body was put down and lay down on the cold temple.

The imperial doctor next to him stepped forward and investigated.

"The body is not stiff, it is not swollen by the lake, and it is expected that the time of drowning will not exceed half an hour."

"Such a big person drowned in the lake, and no one found out?"

Emperor Renjing's voice was filled with anger.

Song Tao bowed his head in shame.

"It's a dereliction of duty."

After that, Song Tao took out a porcelain vase and handed it over with both hands.

"When salvaging Xiao Shunzi, the minister found this from his body."

Emperor Renjing took it, it was an empty bottle.

He motioned to Imperial Physician Zhou on the side.

Imperial Physician Zhou hurriedly took it, opened it and sniffed it carefully, and then said to Emperor Renjing.

"Your Majesty, there is still a trace of smell left in the bottle, and Weichen can be sure that this is a porcelain bottle containing a thousand snake venom."

Hearing this, Emperor Renjing looked at the corpse in the hall, and his eyes became colder.

Although Xiao Shunzi is not as intimate and trustworthy as Wang Defu, he is also a slave he chooses, and he has served by his side for several years, but now this kind of thing has happened.

Was he instructed or was he made a scapegoat?

Murong Yu couldn't help but arch his hand.

"Father, this matter will never be so simple, there must be a big secret behind it!"

"I know."

Emperor Renjing looked displeased.

It was so obvious that he didn't need to be reminded.

It's just that as soon as Xiao Shunzi died, the clue was broken.

If you want to check further, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Emperor Renjing frowned deeply and pondered for a moment.

Then he said sharply.

"This matter must be investigated, on the day of the canonization of the prince, such a big thing happened, and the person behind it must be found out!"

If the truth is not known, he will not be able to sleep peacefully!

Su Sheng gave up.

"Your Majesty, there must be a shocking conspiracy behind this matter, please hand over this matter to the minister, and the minister must find out who is behind it, so that the emperor and the queen can rest assured!"

Murong Heng also spoke.

"Dali Temple is under the jurisdiction of Erchen, father, this matter should be handed over to Erchen."

The two of them stood in front of the hall, both of them had a rare and peerless demeanor, but they both had a fearful edge.

Emperor Renjing's gaze swept over the faces of the two, and not only was there a burst of doubt in his heart.

Both of them have reasons why it's impossible to do it, but they both have the motivation to do it.

He couldn't be fully trusted.

It would be a great risk to leave this matter to any of them to investigate.

Emperor Renjing narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said slowly.

"I think there is another suitable person for this matter."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Murong Heng and Su Sheng were silent.

As long as the other party doesn't take over the matter, that's fine.

On the side, Murong Yu couldn't help but have hope in his heart.

Father Emperor doesn't trust Murong Heng and Su Sheng!?

Then his chance will come, as long as he does this well, there will be room to turn over!

Murong Yu cleared his throat.

"Father, the son is willing to investigate this matter, please give the son a chance!"

Emperor Renjing said coldly.

"You're not a good fit either."

Murong Yu's expression froze.

If this matter is not handed over to him, then to whom?

Murong Xiu, who had been silent on the side, was a little surprised by Emperor Shangrenjing's eyes.

He waved his hand subconsciously.

"Father, I'm not good at investigating cases......"

"I don't need to tell you that I know!"

Emperor Renjing looked irritated.

These two sons are overwhelmed!

He turned his gaze and fell on a slender jade-like figure in the hall, and spoke.

"Qin Chengxuan, I think it's best to leave this matter to you!"

Hearing this, Qin Chengxuan, who was standing among the courtiers, looked slightly stunned.

When he came back to his senses, he looked surprised.

"Your Majesty, this matter ...... Do you want to hand it over to the ministers? ”

"Not bad."

Emperor Renjing's eyes were firm.

Qin Chengxuan is capable, and the Wuding Marquis Mansion is loyal, not a princeling, nor Su Sheng's faction, so it is best for him to leave this matter to him.

Besides, Qin Chengxuan had been silent for two years because of a leg injury before, but now this time is an opportunity.

If this matter is done, there will be one more capable minister in the DPRK!

Seeing that Qin Chengxuan seemed to have some concerns, Emperor Renjing's eyes were a little more stern.

"Why, you won't? Or do you have doubts about your own abilities? ”

"I didn't mean that."

Qin Chengxuan bent down and knelt down: "The minister will definitely investigate this matter well, and he will definitely not dishonor the holy order!" ”

"Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you, and the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department will fully cooperate to present the truth to me in the shortest possible time!"

Qin Chengxuan bowed.

"Yes!"

Murong Heng turned around slightly and looked at Qin Chengxuan in the hall: "Although the prince of the world lets go to investigate, if necessary, Dali Temple can also let the prince send him." ”

Su Sheng also looked at him.

"If there is anything that needs this king, just ask, and this king will have the power to assist you."

Qin Chengxuan gave up.

"The minister has thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Rong first."

The moment he put his fingers down, he was a little embarrassed.

These two ......

It's clearly a fight in the dark.

Just don't pull him in.
