Before dawn, the paddock was packed up.
The eldest prince got up early, thinking of what Yin Shuo said yesterday that his subordinates' conversations were overheard, he was still brooding.
He wanted to go to Yin Shuo to inquire about the situation of the investigation, but there were people coming and going, so he finally chose to avoid suspicion for the time being and walked towards Concubine Xian's tent.
Concubine Xian has already washed and dressed, she has changed into a plain dress, and she only wears a plain silver hairpin on her head.
Her complexion was slightly pale, she hadn't used any rouge and gouache, she seemed to be mourning the death of Emperor Ning, only the First Prince knew that she was scared and excited at the same time.
"You came?"
Concubine Xian smiled when she saw the eldest prince, "Sit down and drink a cup of hot milk, and I have to go back to the imperial capital in a while. This hour is the coldest."
The eldest prince glanced out of the tent, the north wind roared like a roar of unwillingness.
He suddenly remembered that Emperor Ning didn't even say a last word before his death, his heart was quickly shredded by the lotus arrow, and he just glanced at the second prince, then at him and Yin Shuo as he died.
At that time, everyone didn't react, but the three of them saw Emperor Ning's eyes clearly.
He looked at the second prince in astonishment and shock, but when he looked at himself and Yin Shuo, he was clear and resentful.
He closed his eyes, "Yeah, it's really cold."
Concubine Xian said earnestly: "How is it? Did the person who eavesdropped yesterday find out? Who is it?"
The eldest prince took a sip of milk, there were cows in the paddock, this milk was freshly squeezed from the cows in the middle of the night, it was the sweetest.
But for some reason, he had a fishy smell after drinking it, and put it down after taking a sip.
"When I went to look for Prime Minister Yin last night, I didn't find him yet. He promised that he would find that person. It's a man in dark green clothes. Does my concubine have any clues?"
"The man in dark green clothes..."
Concubine Xian frowned, unable to think that she had seen such a person before, "All the men who could ride and shoot yesterday went hunting in the mountains with His Majesty, and only the female relatives and soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were left in the big tent. The soldiers wore bright yellow Needless to say about military uniforms, the female relatives..."
"Wait!"
Concubine Xian suddenly remembered something, "Are you sure Yin Shuo is talking about a man?"
The eldest prince had a lot of meaning when he heard her words, "If it's not a man, what clue does the concubine mother have?"
"Yesterday, Princess Xikun was wearing dark green clothes. The other women were all dressed up gorgeously, but she was the only one wearing a man's hunting suit. I was very impressed."
The eldest prince frowned, "I saw her yesterday, she was wearing a pink and green dress, not a dark green hunting suit."
Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "She was originally wearing dark green clothes, but later she said she would go back to change, and she hasn't returned for a long time. Then we saw a woman riding a horse towards the mountains and forests, it was she who changed into a pink dress and a green dress!"
All the clues point to Kun Yuyang, and Concubine Xian felt that she was the one who eavesdropped, "Hurry up and go to Yin Shuo's place now, and ask if you can confirm that the person who eavesdropped is a man. After all, she is wearing a hunting suit. Yin Shuo's subordinates didn't see clearly that they mistook a woman for a man, wouldn't that be a mistake?"
The eldest prince got up immediately, "Okay, son, go ask Yin Shuo right now!"
Yin Shuo's tent was brightly lit, he didn't sleep at all that night, he kept sending people to inquire about the man in dark green clothes.
"My lord, we found out that there are only three men wearing dark green clothes in the paddock today. But these three people have been hunting with His Majesty's team in the mountains and forests, and it is impossible for them to appear within the tent at that time."
Yin Shuo listened to his subordinate's report and pondered for a moment, "Regardless of whether they may appear within the scope of the big tent, they will be killed to avoid any future troubles. We can't leave any possible clues about this matter. I would rather kill three thousand people by mistake." Let go of one."
The subordinates were about to take orders to do it when the eldest prince suddenly broke into the tent.
Yin Shuo's eyes showed displeasure, and he glanced outside, only to be reassured when he saw that there was no one outside.
"Why did the eldest prince come here suddenly?"
The eldest prince glanced at the two subordinates standing at the bottom, and said directly: "The Prime Minister is sure that the person who eavesdropped is a man?"
Yin Shuo didn't know why he asked this question, and looked at the two subordinates, "These two are the ones who have been eavesdropped on the discussion. If you have any questions, the eldest prince can ask them."
The eldest prince looked menacing, and one of them hurriedly said: "Return to Your Highness, that man knows martial arts, very light. When we chased them out, we only saw a dark green corner of his clothes, which looked like a hunting suit, so Judging that it is a man in dark green clothes."
The eldest prince slapped the man backhanded, "Stupid! Anyone who has martial arts and wears a hunting suit must be a man? Dong Ling's women really don't know martial arts after living in a boudoir for a long time. Have you never thought that they are Xikun women?"
Yin Shuo stood up from his seat, "What does this mean, Your Highness?"
The eldest prince said angrily: "My concubine said that yesterday Kun Yuyang was wearing a dark green hunting suit, which was changed into a pink green dress later. They Xikun girls will be martial arts, and she suddenly rushed into it at that time. In the mountains and forests, who else but her?!"
The two subordinates knew that they had made a mistake, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty, "This subordinate knows his mistake, so this subordinate will go and kill that Xikun princess!"
"Wait!"
Yin Shuo stopped the two of them, "That's Princess Xikun, Dong Ling's royal family wife, killing her would be a big move. That person Ning Xuan looks like a playboy, but in fact he is more successful than anyone else in his heart. How easy is it to kill his wife under his nose?"
Having already confirmed who it is, but unable to kill her, the First Prince was so anxious that he completely lost his usual demeanor, "Then what should we do? Are we going to let her live and tell others our secret?"
"Of course not."
Yin Shuo took a deep look at him, "Your Highness needs to be more rational now. Those ministers in the court are all human spirits. If Your Highness can't hold back, you don't need Kun Yuyang to tell others. You think others can't see you. Is it abnormal?"
The eldest prince was stunned, took a deep breath, recalled that he had never been normal from yesterday to today, no wonder Yin Shuo would say that.
He personally planned to kill his own father, seeing Emperor Ning die in front of him, how could he be normal? !
It can't be normal, it has to be normal.
After a while, the eldest prince finally recovered his strength, and asked in a deep voice: "If you can't kill her, does the prime minister have any better ideas?"
Yin Shuo nodded and said: "The second prince is in custody. Now the edicts of the concubine Xian and the eldest prince are respected here. Now the eldest prince might as well ask the empress Xian to come forward and mobilize the imperial army to search everywhere. Let's say that the second prince assassinated Your Majesty has a serious matter, and it is inevitable that there are still accomplices left, for the safety of your relatives and ministers, you must search it."
This reason is good, the eldest prince said: "You want to take this opportunity to search Kun Yuyang's place?"
"Yes, at that time, you can find an excuse at will and arrest her first. She is the princess of Xikun and her status is sensitive. No one dares to talk about her being detained at this juncture."
The eldest prince immediately walked out of the tent, "It's not too late, I'm going to ask my mother and concubine for help."
…
Amidst the noise of pulling out the camp and returning to the palace, there was the sound of guards from the Imperial Forest Army searching everywhere.
The yawning sound made everyone in the camp lose their sleepiness, and when they searched the place where the royal family members lived, Uncle Ning got up from the bed yawning.
His eyes were sleepy, and he looked puzzled when he saw the eldest prince bringing someone in, "What is the eldest prince doing here?"
The eldest prince looked around, but he didn't see Kun Yuyang's figure, but he saw Kun Yuyang's changed clothes on the screen, only the pink and green skirt.
He smiled awkwardly at Uncle Ning Tang, "Yesterday, the second prince assassinated the emperor father, and the concubine mother was worried that the accompanying women would be unsafe, so I asked someone to search around. Where is Uncle Tang's wife?"
Uncle Ning Tang didn't agree with him, instead he snorted softly, "It's a good thing she's not here, otherwise the women's relatives in the inner room are disheveled, and the eldest prince rushed in like this, do you want her boudoir reputation?"
The eldest prince's face was a bit ugly, he thought that he really regarded himself as an elder, even though he was still a few years younger than himself in terms of age.
When he was about to have a seizure, he suddenly heard Uncle Ning yelling outside, "Cui Ya, where is Madam? Did you go to make breakfast?"
There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Cui Ya's servant girl gave a blessing, "Go back to your son, the maidservant didn't see Madam, hasn't Madam been in the tent all the time?"
Uncle Ning Tang frowned, stood up and scratched his hair, "What's going on? It's a big living person, but it's gone when I wake up? No, I know!"
