The second prince probed for several days, but he really found some clues.
"Return to the emperor father, Erchen has taken his subordinates to work tirelessly these days, and repeated investigations, and finally let him catch some clues."
Above the court, the second prince was in brilliant and brilliant clothes.
The emperor has always liked this son, and immediately encouraged the second prince to continue.
The second prince stepped forward and said: "The son-chen sent people to search around the Takigawa stronghold and found the real palace people. Their bodies were thrown on the beams of the toilets. The son-chen asked these palace people to be investigated. There were no knife wounds on these people's wounds, but they were killed by poisoning needles."
"After the son-chen ordered the imperial physician and Wu Zuo to check together, they found that the poison in them was called'seeing blood seals the throat.' The son-chen investigated and learned that the poison was produced in Qiongzhou, so the son-chen thought that the murderer came from Qiongzhou or had a relationship with Qiongzhou close relationship."
"Erchen proposed to send someone to Qiongzhou to investigate and see if there is any murderer in Qiongzhou."
The second prince finished speaking in a hurry, feeling that his idea was very clever. When he was so proud, he didn't notice the strange color flashing on the emperor's face when he heard his words.
The mountains of Qiongzhou are long and distant, and it takes nearly a year to come and go. I am afraid that the real murderer has already heard the wind and fled before his men and horses have arrived. How easy is it to find the real murderer
The courtiers who had reacted secretly lowered their heads and smiled with their wide sleeves covering their faces.
The second prince was confused and said hurriedly: "But is there anything wrong with the method of the son?"
The emperor gave a dry cough, "If the order is passed on, the martial law inside and outside the palace will be strengthened from now on. Anyone who enters and exits the Imperial Capital must be carefully interrogated, especially some foreigners must be carefully interrogated, be sure to understand the details before letting go."
But he didn't mention the suggestion made by the second prince.
After the emperor had finished speaking, the commander of the imperial army who was in charge of patrolling the capital hurriedly stepped forward to take the order.
"As for you, you have been working hard these days, so I will give you a bunch of Hepu Nanzhu and ten brocades for your concubine."
The second prince still had something to say, and the emperor Feng Qingyun glanced at him lightly. He had forgotten everything, and was busy thanking him for grace.
After a period of recuperation, Concubine Gao's body finally recovered. She leaned on the collapsed ground, eating the peach meat that the palace maid had fed her.
"The Concubine Xian will only show off the prestige on her lips. She doesn't have the Sacred Heart. The Sixth Prince is still young, so what threat can she pose to this palace?"
"Niangniang is wise, it's the servant girl's short-sightedness."
Concubine Gao Gui said and twisted her eyebrows, "It's the matter of your Majesty to explain to Zhuo'er this time. Zhuo'er couldn't grasp such a good opportunity."
The little palace lady asked in doubt: "Manny, didn't your majesty reward your majesty in front of the ministers?"
"If Zhuo'er really satisfies him, would he just skimp on this matter without mentioning it? Your majesty, with twists and turns, will not leave this matter to Zhuo'er alone. Don’t forget, we also have a "Tian Er" in Da Zhou who is only ordered by the emperor."
Concubine Gao Gui said that at the end, a layer of mockery appeared between her eyebrows.
Tianzi has a secret department called Xuanli that specializes in investigating cases for him. Because Xuan Li is powerful and pervasive, and knows all secrets, everyone calls it the ear of the emperor, that is, the'ear of heaven'.
When the courtiers and subjects heard the name of Tianer, most of them were in awe.
"The assassination of the emperor is such a major event, the emperor must have been privately handed over to those in Xuan Lisi to investigate."
"Then your Majesty will ask the second prince to investigate again, isn't it a superfluous act?"
noble
The concubine shook her head, "He is not making a fuss, but wanting to give Zhuo Er a chance to display his talents. I don't know if Zhuo Er is too unbearable to use, or the gang behind the assassins is truly powerful. Zhuo Er missed this. opportunity."
Concubine Gao blew her fingertips dyed with bright red Dankou.
In any case, the second prince showed his face in front of the ministers.
Because of this incident, the four princes caused the emperor to have suspicion and suspicion against him. The second prince is now the most proud of the princes. The more at this moment, the more he has to keep a low profile.
"You let people tell Zhuo'er that he should stay in the house this time, and he is not allowed to hang out with those fox and dog friends." Gao Guifei closed her mouth with a charming smile.
"The servant understands."
"Also, let him treat the prince and concubine well, and don't be foolish. Does he really think that your majesty doesn't know about his messy things? Your majesty rewarded the prince and concubine in public to appease the prince and concubine. Zhuoer will continue to behave like this and watch the royal family. Still willing to work for him."
The little palace lady Weiwei said: "His Royal Highness is a little younger now, and I still don't understand your good intentions. When the second prince and concubine give birth to heirs, Your Highness will become a father, and he will be temperamental and become stable and mature."
Concubine Gao also nodded, smiling deeply.
"As long as Zhuo'er has an heir as soon as possible, he will add another bargaining chip to the position of the prince."
In Xie's mansion, Xie Yunqing is playing chess with Ji's.
Ji's chess style is steady, but Xie Yunqing is good at surprisingly winning, and the two are on the same side.
"Your eldest brother said that the emperor only rewarded the second prince one Hu Hepu Nanzhu, and did not say much." Ji clan left a son.
"Because your Majesty didn't say much, then there was more room to figure out."
Xie Yunqing stared at the chessboard, thinking about how to place the pieces, while returning to Ji's words.
The emperor's favorite is this second son, even if Xiao Zhuo returns without success, the emperor will not just ignore Xiao Zhuo like this.
Unless, Xiao Zhuo did not satisfy the emperor with this matter.
"As everyone knows, Qiongzhou is just a remote and remote island in the sea, with no more than a thousand families. Those killers will take poison and kill themselves immediately after they fail, leaving no trace of evidence. Then when the real palace maidens are killed, How could it be possible to leave such a big mistake? Then it can only show that the real culprit behind the scenes is directed to make people mistakenly think that he is hiding in Qiongzhou."
"'Seeing the blood to seal the throat', this kind of poison, although most of the emperors have never heard of it, it is not difficult to get it."
In the past few years, the ground movement in Qiongzhou caused a tsunami, causing more than half of the casualties. Among the people of Qiongzhou who survived, young and middle-aged people sailed out of Qiongzhou to make a living, and this poison was gradually circulating.
It's just that the second prince never walked in the alleys, so naturally he didn't know about it.
"On the basis that those few people were infected with this kind of poison, they made the judgment, saying that the murderer was hiding in Qiongzhou, and the second prince couldn't talk and do things too much." Xie Yunqing dropped the chess piece.
Ji looked up at Xie Yunqing.
I saw the girl drooping eyebrows pleasingly, her face covered with a thin layer of fluff, delicate and smooth skin, her eyes were misty and misty like light smoke, dark, soft, but so quiet and peaceful, as if not With a little emotional swing.
Since when, the girl who was as brilliant as the sun became so introverted, she had condensed all her vigor, and exuded a quiet and gentle temperament all over her body. The speech and behavior are dignified and generous after the glitz has settled, just like the bright moonlight, seemingly soft and uncontroversial, but in fact cold
And indifferent, people will always be able to see but not touch.
The Ji family actually grew up watching Xie Yunqing.
When she passed the door, Xie Yunqing was still swaddling, not to mention, Xie Yunqing was only three years older than her eldest son.
The two of them are not so much aunts, it is more accurate to say that they are aunts and nephews. She has the love of elders for younger generations to Xie Yunqing.
However, in a blink of an eye, I saw the girl become so good, and I sighed in my heart.
Ji's thoughts were not placed on the game at all, but just in the words of Xie Yunqing: "You mean that the real murderer behind the scenes may exist anywhere in the north and south of the sky, and may even stay in the capital."
Xie Yunqing rested his chin with his hand, and placed his child at will.
"But it's impossible for him to come out to commit a crime again in a short time, but I don't know if our emperor will have nightmares when he sleeps at night."
Just as Ji wanted to scold her, he could say this nonsense, and he heard Xie Yunqing's lazy voice.
"Sister-in-law, you are absent-minded, I won this round."
Qing Luo came over to count her sons, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you lost half a glance."
Ji shook his head helplessly, "I still remember the first time I saw you, such a small and soft person, I didn't dare to reach out and hug you, now you have grown into a big girl, you can see Time flies so fast." Ji's hand stretched out his hand and gestured.
Xie Yunqing smiled, "Sister-in-law, you are still so young and beautiful, and you sighed there that time is passing quickly, let A-niang hear it, and I have to scold you."
The two were talking and laughing, and Brother Zhen ran over like a whirlwind, spreading his arms around Xie Yunqing to hug.
Xie Yunqing picked him up and let him sit on his lap.
Brother Zhen twisted his body and grabbed a few chess pieces and put them in his hands to play, and the sound of jade collision was exceptionally clear and sweet. Brother Zhen seemed to have found something interesting and became more and more excited.
Ji Clan felt that the sound was too noisy, so he said, "Brother Zhen, listen to your aunt, and my mother went to the front yard to deal with the matter."
Brother Zhen looked up, showing a big smile.
Ji squeezed his fleshy cheek, nodded to Xie Yunqing and left.
After Ji's departure, Xie Yunqing let Brother Zhen sit on the opposite side and teach him how to play chess.
Brother Zhen made a bitter face, "Auntie, I don't want to learn to play chess, it's too difficult."
"No, Sister Rong is younger than you, so she can eat my sons. As an older brother, you can't be compared to your younger sister."
These words have added fuel and vinegar, and Xie Yunqing's chess skills can be won even if he meets Gu Pingzhang. Sister Rong is just getting started. In order not to discourage Sister Rong's enthusiasm, she has always let Sister Rong's child.
Brother Zhen is the strongest. He especially likes to fight with Sister Rong. He was immediately agitated by Xie Yunqing's radical method and patted his chest and said, "Auntie, just teach me, and I will learn it seriously."
Xie Yunqing taught him to know the chessboard, guess the first, and then teach him how to make moves.
Brother Zhen is a clever man, and gradually gains interest, but he also delves into it.
The two of them were playing chess while you were coming and going. Su Wen walked over without expression and handed a letter to Xie Yunqing.
Xie Yunqing unfolded the letterhead and took a look, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
Bring a cup of tea at hand, soak the letterhead in the tea until the ink is smeared, then fish out the letterhead, tear it up, and throw it away.
Brother Zhen, who was ignored by the side, glared at Xie Yunqing with dissatisfaction.
Xie Yun hurriedly shifted his attention to the chessboard, and only then did Brother Zhen show a cheerful smile.
Su Wen quietly withdrew, as if he had passed by in the future.
