In the morning of the next day, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up around the court. The first thing the emperor did when he came up was to ask the head of the Zongren Mansion: "Master Xue, what did you find out about what happened at the Royal Palace yesterday?"
Yu Jing just stood silently, with a look of neither sadness nor joy on his face, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. What happened just yesterday, before he could even ask a question, the palace guards and people from the clan's mansion came running over as if they had ears. The clan's mansion took full responsibility for the investigation, so he was already in trouble. The anger between him and the emperor.
"Concubine Xiao was poisoned. The murderer was very cunning, but we still found some physical evidence." Mr. Xue said, motioning the eunuch to submit the evidence, "Your Majesty, this was something that Concubine Xiao was holding hard in her hand at that time. Because He was convulsing and convulsing when he died, so he held it very tightly.”
Yu Jing finally moved. He glanced at Master Xue. The guards of the Zongren Mansion surrounded Concubine Xiao's yard. He had not seen the body so far. It’s not that I don’t have the strength to break through, it’s just that it’s too unworthy to be labeled as a rebel.
"What is this?" The emperor glanced at the tray in front of him. It was a cornered piece of wood, the size of a palm, a finger thick, with smooth edges and smooth lines.
Master Xue lowered his head and said, "I don't know, it's probably part of something."
The emperor picked up the object and looked at it. An old man with a long beard came forward and said: "I think this kind of strange things are usually..."
He paused as he spoke, and the emperor snorted, "Just tell me."
"Yes, everyone knows that those objects made by Princess Mingyue can be said to be wood and stone walking, and bronze openings. This... maybe something of hers fell off. After all, it is difficult to find someone with more exquisite craftsmanship than Princess Mingyue. ”
The hall was quiet for a moment, and then everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Sure enough, it's still the same, it's really clumsy. Yu Jing's cold eyes stared directly at the emperor without saying a word. The emperor met the too direct gaze, with a hint of dissatisfaction and anger on his brows.
At this time, Han Yi laughed inappropriately, "If it were her, she would have left nothing behind and it would have become an unsolved case. Princess Mingyue is a great talent. Master Zhao also said that Princess Mingyue's craftsmanship is unparalleled. How could she leave a person behind?" Clues. But Mr. Zhao is more powerful than Princess Mingyue. You can tell at a glance that it was made by the princess? Then why don’t Mr. Zhao look at this thing and tell us what it is made of? "
"You - this is just a guess." Mr. Zhao glared at him in annoyance. He had known that they were good personal friends, so why was his brain so bad? If you attack him now, you will be at odds with the emperor!
Xin Yu lamented exaggeratedly, "What Prince Han said makes sense. My imperial sister is very skilled in craftsmanship, but she can make wood fly. If you ask me to kill someone, I will let the bird fly and fly to the house." Go in and poison."
General Shen said coldly with a dull face: "Princess Mingyue just went to Mingqi some time ago, how could she poison here? I think this thing should be left deliberately to confuse the public, not to mention Princess Mingyue has no reason Killing innocent people indiscriminately.”
Xin Yu looked displeased. Firstly, he didn't want Yu Jing and Wu Sheyue to get together, and secondly, he didn't like the Shen family to be close to Wu Sheyue.
"General Shen is old and has a bad memory. Something happened to Princess Wumeng a while ago, and someone close to Princess Mingyue was identified. But it's strange that the matter was settled in the end~" Xin Yu said Suddenly he turned to Yu Jing and said, "It seems that Yu Jing is very good at doing things. One is the future princess, and the other is a childhood sweetheart. The conflicts are really handled in an orderly manner. I also heard... Princess Wu Meng and Yu Jing Jing is very close, but Concubine Xiao and Yu Jing are on thin ice. It’s really interesting. They are both people around Yu Jing, but something happened to the closest and the farthest relationship."
"It seems that Princess Mingyue has a reason..." Mr. Zhao muttered to himself at the right time, leading to the topic.
"Avenge yourself and the young prince? This is too..."
"That's not necessarily true, is it?"
A sneer appeared on Yu Jing's always stern face, but he still ignored anyone. Xin Yu suddenly felt that he was laughing at him...
"That's enough, what's the fuss about such a little thing." As soon as the emperor said it, everyone else closed their mouths. He threw the lump of wood onto the tray with a muffled sound, "When will she come back!"
"Soon." Yu Jing finally spoke, his voice cold and calm.
Then the emperor made a decision on the matter, "Mr.
"yes."
It wasn't until Yu Jing got on the carriage at the entrance of the palace and left that he said the second sentence of the day: "Go to the private house."
"Master?" Amo paused when he was about to turn the horse's head, and turned back to stare at the dark carriage curtain in surprise, "Aren't you going back to Prince Yu's Mansion at this time?"
Such a big thing happened in the house, why does the master seem to have no intention of taking care of it
"Yes." Yu Jing closed his eyes and leaned on the cushion to take a nap. Since the emperor didn't want him to take care of it, he would leave it alone. I hope no one would regret it in the end!

Everyone outside knows that the few masters in the Royal Palace are no longer good. For such a big event, the young prince remained silent in the court, which was really unlike his previous harsh style.
And I heard that this matter may have something to do with Miss Wu San. Maybe it was her... or she teamed up with the young prince to do it. Otherwise, why would the young prince not be allowed to enter the Royal Palace
However, Yu Jingna was not kicked out of the door, but he did not intend to go back at all...
at night.
Zhu'er just exited the room and turned around to see Wu Yin'er. The girl carefully hid behind the tree and looked around, but in fact she had already been seen. Zhuer sighed helplessly and prepared to step forward to persuade people to leave.
As soon as she walked over, Wu Yin'er jumped up and shouted: "That, that... Sister Zhu'er, I, I want to go and see..."
"I know Miss Fifth is worried, but the master is busy these days and it's not convenient."
Wu Yin'er's bright eyes dimmed, "I heard about the incident at Prince Yu's Mansion, and they all said it was the third sister... But the third sister went to Mingqi to recognize her marriage a long time ago, how can those people slander her."
Zhu'er softened her tone, reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Hey, Fifth Miss, just relax. Worrying is of no use. Master and Third Miss are both powerful people, and they won't be bullied like this." . The cold dew was too heavy at night and it has rained a lot these past two days. Be careful and your injury is not healed yet."
"Yes... But I just can't let go of the fact that my third sister is such a good person..." Wu Yin'er sighed and fiddled with the covering cloth on the basket.
Pearl also noticed her behavior and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
"Oh! This is intended to be given to the young prince." Wu Yin'er smiled sheepishly, "It's also embarrassing to ask questions empty-handed all the time. After all, it's an intrusion. After much deliberation, it just makes sense to give this to the young prince. The young prince always If you’re working at night, this soup can help you feel refreshed.”
"Oh." Zhu'er felt a little unbearable when she saw two red and swollen spots on her fingertips. She must have been burned. After all, there are good kids in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wu Yin'er glanced at the study unwillingly and continued to apply: "Sister Zhu'er, can I... just ask a few questions..."
Zhu'er sighed heavily, "Then Fifth Miss, let's go and try. However, the master has been very uncertain these two days, and we are not sure. Don't make the master upset by asking endless questions."
"Okay, thank you Sister Zhu'er!" Wu Yin'er happily ran over holding the basket in her arms.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a cheerful child, and Pearl couldn't help but smile.
"Jewel."
"Yes." Zhu'er heard the sound and looked over. Ayan was coming over, and the drizzle wet his shoulders. She ran over to meet Ayan.
Ayan stroked Zhu'er's temple with one hand, looked at Wu Yin'er's back and said, "Miss Third is not here, so it would be inappropriate for you to let other girls in."
"That's Miss Third's sister." Zhu'er scolded, "Why should she be so worried all the time?"
Ayan nodded, feeling a little strange in his heart, but did not mention it any further.

The door to the study room was open. When Wu Yin'er walked to the door, she felt the wind blowing from the hall, which made her head feel cold and clear. She shivered, poked her head in, and then moved in carefully.
Yu Jing was writing with his head down and paying no attention to it. Wu Yin'er thought for a moment and felt that he should know that he had come in, so he bowed and said, "Yin'er pays homage to the young prince."
"What's the matter?" he asked without raising his head.
Wu Yin'er stood up straight, and cautiously took out the soup bowl from the basket and handed it to the table, "Yin'er just wanted to ask the third sister, she... she..."
Yu Jing dipped his pen in ink, and at the same time raised his head and glanced at her, "She will be fine. You can go back. It's very cold at night and your injuries are not fully healed yet."
Wu Yin'er's face turned slightly red, and she continued stubbornly: "But Yin'er is too worried, the rumors outside are so scary! And the young prince is not here during the day, so I don't know who to ask."
“…”
"By the way, can you leave as soon as possible to pick up your sister in Mingqi?!"
Yu Jing's pen stopped on the inkstone, and after a while he said softly: "It's not clear yet, I'll try my best."
Wu Yin'er breathed out, as if she had finally received some assurance, "This is Yin'er's sincerity. Thank you, young prince, for taking me in these days. Yin'er has resigned." As she spoke, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and nervous about the excitement just now. He turned around and ran out.
Will you take her back? Yu Jing thought, looking down at the letters on the desk.
"Amo."
"Master?" A shadow flashed through the window. After A-Li left, it was A-Mo who took A-Li's place.
"Go check Wu Meng." Yu Jing's brows were struggling a little, "I want to know what she did in Longfu Palace, and more." He handed over the paper on the table.
Amo's face changed as soon as he took it, "Master... wouldn't it be too risky to do this?"
"Just do it." (To be continued)
