At this moment, the Ninth Prince, Yuchi Xinhan, Li Mo and the Fifth Young Master are all here.
The moonlight was very pale, and there were faint clouds floating, covering the glimmer, and they didn't notice anyone approaching.
"Uncle Nine Kings, my father really has no intention of rebelling against you, please be aware of this."
When the Ninth Prince questioned him, the Fifth Young Master was right, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Young Master Yuchi, he went to the south of the Yangtze River with me, and he has already found out for so long. All this is the idea of the first counselor under the King Father."
Yuchi Xinhan followed with a wry smile and nodded, "We were all deceived."
"First Counselor, you mean that Cheng Yunyi is another master?" Li Mo also looked at them in surprise, with an unbelievable expression on his face.
Ninth Prince thought deeply, "Who is he working for?"
They stared at King Jiangnan for so long, but they didn't expect to be used by someone to divert their attention. No wonder there was no big movement on King Jiangnan's side, and the contact with other vassals was infrequent.
Yuchi shook his head in dismay and said, "I only know that this person should be in the imperial city, and his foundation is not shallow."
In fact, the last time Cheng Yunyi appeared alone in the imperial city, they found something strange, but because there was no evidence at that time, and they did not find out the purpose of his coming here, so they did not act rashly.
Now it seems that when he came here, he must have come with an important purpose.
It's a pity that he returned to the south of the Yangtze River later, and then the Ninth Prince sent Yuchi Xinhan to go south to investigate the clues under the cooperation of the fifth son.
The Ninth Prince raised his eyes, cast a chilling glance at Yuchi, and said, "Are you going to give me this answer?"
Hearing the voice of the Ninth Prince, Yuchi Xinhan immediately said solemnly, "Please rest assured, the Prince, I will be able to investigate this matter very soon."
"Do you have any eyebrows?"
Yuchi nodded in disappointment, "Yes." He didn't continue, because the Ninth Prince raised his hand to stop him.
"Okay, you take over the matter in Li Mo's hands and investigate it thoroughly, maybe it will help you."
"Your subordinates obey!" Li Mo and Yuchi were disappointed and accepted the order at the same time.
"By the way, Uncle Nine Kings, this time when Yuchi Xinhan and I returned to the capital, we met a woman on the way, who seemed to be the granddaughter of Nanny Li in the palace."
"They said they came to pay homage to her."
The fifth son mentioned this matter.
"Continue talking." The Ninth Prince raised his hand, motioning for them to sit down.
Fifth Young Master and Yuchi Xinhan looked at each other, and finally Yuchi Xinhan spoke up and talked about this matter, because he was the one who did it in the first place.
That Nanny Li was the one who committed suicide when she was investigating Concubine Xiao some time ago, and she left a blood letter.
It was also that blood letter that confirmed Concubine Xiao Gui's crime.
Yuchi Xinhan was a little embarrassed when he talked about this matter. Although it was to investigate the case, the aunt of the Ninth Princess was found.
But the Ninth Prince didn't feel his mood at all, and asked: "You mean that the Li Nanny that this girl worshiped is not the same person as the one Yuchi Xinhan saw?"
Both of them nodded in unison, Yuchi said bitterly, "I'm afraid there is something else going on in this matter."
The Ninth Prince glanced at him indifferently, and Yuchi felt a little embarrassed because he had failed repeatedly in these few things recently.
Although everything was done, it always proved that what he did was not very useful in the end, and sometimes it was counterproductive.
"So, the reason why my aunt was thrown into the cold palace is because of your suggestions."
The sudden sound made several people startled, Yuchi stretched out his hand to lift the bamboo curtain, and saw Xiao Ting standing there in white clothes not far away, moving against the wind, walking slowly.
Her voice didn't have much emotion, it was very calm.
On the pavilion, Xiao Ting didn't look at other people, but at the Ninth Prince.
"It's really not easy for the prince, even such a hidden matter can be found out, um, it seems that this concubine took the lead in this matter, and finally asked the prince to help, but I didn't expect to kill my aunt in the end."
Xiao Ting walked forward, and the other three immediately moved away from the stone table and stepped aside.
The Ninth Prince waved his hands, and the other three bowed their hands in salute, and then retreated. For a moment, only the swaying four lanterns flickered on the gazebo, and Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince sat facing each other.
Xiao Ting took an empty wine glass and poured herself a glass of wine.
"Isn't your lord going to explain?" Xiao Ting was a little annoyed, but she was very rational. Yuchi's cold hearted intervention just let the matter be exposed in advance. After all, it was all done by my aunt, and the truth exists.
"These things are very relevant, and it's not for you to know."
The Ninth Prince finally said only this sentence, Xiao Ting drank the wine in her hand, raised her head and poured it into her mouth, and then made a 'hissing' sound.
"I shouldn't know, my lord asked himself, since I, Xiao Ting, entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion, why did I ask you
What happened to meddling with you again? You are the first priority in everything, but you must give me an explanation for my aunt, otherwise, I will investigate by myself, and if it breaks your business, don't blame me. "
Xiao Ting is the kind of person who respects me a foot, and I respect him a foot. Since I came to this time and space, there are not many people who are sincerely kind to her, her cheap father is counted as one, her brother Xiao Shi is also counted as one, and the other is her aunt, Concubine Xiao Gui, who really loves her.
Even though she was in the cold palace, she still told herself to live her life well, listen to the Ninth Prince, and hug this thigh.
It's a pity that Xiao Ting is not the kind of person who doesn't want to repay her kindness. She originally thought that this matter would eventually pass.
In addition, her aunt didn't seem to be uncomfortable with the situation in front of her, so she didn't intend to ask more questions.
After all, she had seen many such plots in her previous life, and because the woman was nosy and smart, she didn't help in the end, and even harmed her relatives.
She is not ready to intervene, but now, after listening to the Ninth Prince and the others, it turned out that part of the reason why her aunt was thrown into the cold palace was because of the Ninth Prince and Yuchi's disappointment, as well as that so-called Nanny Li, she must know about it.
Otherwise, the conscience will be troubled.
The Ninth Prince looked at her slightly flushed face, added another glass of wine to her, and poured himself another glass.
Qing Yin took a sip and said, "Since you want to know, I will give you an explanation when I find out about this matter."
Xiao Ting slapped the stone table with her palm, and said, "No." She waved her hands again and again, and her hand hurt from slapping it, it was really a miscalculation.
"The king is still investigating this matter."
The Ninth Prince looked at her actions, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Xiao Ting weighed the evidence and information of each other, and finally made a compromise, but also said that once the Ninth Prince knows about this, he must explain it to her as soon as possible.
She is not someone who is ignorant of current affairs. With her current status and background here, it is far inferior to what the Ninth Prince has mastered.
So no matter whether it is coercion or bribery or making concessions, Xiao Ting will reach an agreement with the Ninth Prince and ask him for help.
After talking about this matter, Xiao Ting mentioned Xiao Shi's condition again.
"The doctor has said that it's not a serious problem, but the body function is a little delayed."
"It's not a serious problem, does the lord believe it? Such a small child changes every day, but now he lies there and sleeps for three days, breathing and other things are all there, but it is obviously abnormal."
"The king is visiting famous doctors, there will be news soon, you don't have to worry too much."
If Yuchi's heart was chilled, they would surely drop their jaws in shock when they saw the Ninth Prince's performance at this moment.
How could the Ninth Prince explain his work to anyone? Even the emperor did not have this honor.
And what he is worst at is comforting people. Even Chu Yun didn't know what it was like to be comforted by his father when he was young.
Ninth Prince himself was a little awkward, but he couldn't help it.
The elusive Mu Butler and Anwei Ding appeared in the dark with a small notebook, and Mu Butler smiled even more happily.
The dark guard Ding, who was holding a small notebook, said that he was going to change his guard too, so don't do this, it's too dangerous, if his master finds out, he'll be assigned to Wuya Pavilion immediately, but his subordinates didn't dare to be idle, and wrote down Butler Mu's words stroke by stroke.
"Can I not be worried, Miss? That's my younger brother, please stop making sarcastic remarks here, my lord."
Xiao Ting was drunk and rolled her eyes at him.
Ninth Prince was not angry.
The two of you shared a glass with each other, and soon, several wine jugs became empty.
Xiao Ting drank so much that she lay down on the stone table, she didn't know how many fingers were in front of her eyes.
But the Ninth Prince deserved the title of Immortal, and still maintained his original posture, not even changing his angle, making people marvel at his drinking capacity and patience.
The night is slightly cool and the moon is slightly round. At this time, silence is better than sound!
Ninth Prince looked at the messy girl opposite him.
His mind was a little erratic.
Finally got up helplessly, walked to Xiao Ting's side, bent down and stretched out her arms to hug Xiao Ting naturally, and walked towards Lanyue Courtyard under the moonlight.
Sometimes he really can't understand this girl, she is so innocent, but the things she does are unimaginable.
When impulsive, even the Empress Dowager dared to contradict, but sometimes she was very rational, just like she knew that everything about Concubine Xiao Gui was caused by Yuchi's disappointment, or it could be said that she did it herself.
If he hadn't intervened, Concubine Xiao Gui would not have been convicted so quickly, but after Xiao Ting knew these things, she just asked a few words, didn't say much, and didn't show any special emotions.
I really don't know if she is going to settle accounts after the fall or if she is real, she just doesn't care.
It's impossible for an ordinary person to do it, so he couldn't understand more and more what kind of person is this woman who is his concubine
What kind of temperament is the woman he married back from a coma
But this does not prevent him from feeling a little different about her, especially when Xiao Ting said in the hall, "As my man, there is only one woman, I am the only woman", a sense of pride rose in his heart, and he did not feel any restraint.
The moonlight was hazy, the Ninth Prince carried Xiao Ting back to Lanyue Garden like this, Hong Shao was so shocked that he didn't know whether he should salute or say hello first
"Take good care of the princess." The Ninth Prince ordered lightly and was about to leave.
Hong Shao bit her lip, suddenly stepped forward to stop the Ninth Prince, and knelt down.
"My lord, can you stay?"
