Outside the city gate, officials of the Ministry of Rites and guards went out of the city to greet the holy car. Zhong Wan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, his eyes narrowed, "How important can it be at this time, can't wait to enter the city to deliver it first?"
Yu She raised her eyes, "What?"
Zhong Wan lowered the curtain of the car, "There was a guard who took a note and sent it to Luan's car."
After a while, an old eunuch in front of the imperial eunuch hurriedly ran to Yu She and Zhong Wan's carriage, and said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, Young Master Zhong, Qian'an 800 miles, something has happened! Former Qian'an Wang Xuanrui... passed away."
After a moment of silence in the carriage, Yu She asked, "A good person, why not?"
"It's said that they encountered robbers on the run! Those outlaws are often robbing businessmen in the past, and they may be regarded as wealthy businessmen. This... alas."
Yu She said, "Where's the body? Has it been brought back?"
"No, there are always wild beasts in that wild place, and there were not many whole corpses when they were discovered." The old eunuch coughed and sighed, and said tremblingly, "Master Zhong, please mourn."
In the carriage, Zhong Wan didn't say a word. After a while, Yu She said, "Zhong Wan is too sad and can't speak. You go first."
The old eunuch turned away.
In the carriage, Zhong Wan dipped his hands in tea and wrote on the table: Are you testing me
Yu She was not sure, and wrote: We have no reason to kill Xuan Rui. We are afraid that he suspects that we hid Xuan Rui. We will pretend to be a little bit like for a while, and don't let the emperor see the flaws.
Yu She was a little worried after writing, this letter came too late, just in time to be with Emperor Chong'an, Emperor Chong'an was suspicious. He and Zhong Wan both know that Xuan Rui is fine now, but if he looks wrong for a while, he might be able to tell something.
Before Yu She could think of a solution, Zhong Wan had already made up his mind. He remembered what Emperor Chong'an had said to him when he first saw Emperor Chong'an when he returned to Beijing.
Emperor Chong'an said that before Shi Jin passed away, he did not write half of his family on the book that should have been seeking blessings for his descendants, but only mentioned a person with a foreign surname, Zhong Guiyuan.
The last book written to Emperor Chong'an in the history of the present reads, Gui Yuan was young and experienced hardships, and he has endured too much hardship in these years. Don't make him suffer any more.
A few days after the book was delivered, the old lady was gone.
And Zhong Wan, who was far away in Qian'an, didn't get the obituary until more than two months later, and even the old man Wei Qi didn't catch up.
Zhong Wan never dared to think about it, but now she thought about it happily, and tears rolled down instantly.
Yu She was startled by Zhong Wan, "Guiyuan..."
Zhong Wan waved his hand with a wry smile. He wanted to pretend, but when he thought of the long kneeling outside the old lady Fu's palace and the envelope before his immortal death, the tears couldn't stop.
Afraid of Yu She's worries, Zhong Wan dipped some tea on the table and wrote: I have failed many people over the years. I have owed you a lot before, but now I can still make up for one or two. To the teacher, but...
Zhong Wan paused for a moment, and then wrote again: Heaven and man are forever separated, and I can't repay what happens. Looking back now, I am afraid that the person I am most sorry for in this life is Mrs. Shi.
Zhong Wan's tears fell on the table, and she couldn't write anymore.
After entering the city, all the frames had to follow Emperor Chong'an into the palace. After going around and finally entering the inner palace, Emperor Chong'an got off the drive and really asked Zhong Wan.
Zhong Wan was helped by Yu She to get out of the car.
Zhong Wan was tall, but he was too skinny. He seemed to be even more shattered by Yu She's support. He walked up to Emperor Chong'an and reluctantly saluted. Emperor Chong'an saw that Zhong Wan's eyes were red as if he was about to drip blood, and sighed, "That's all. , I was afraid that you would be too sad to ask, you... sigh, don't kneel, go back to the mansion first, I will let the Ministry of Rites handle Xuan Rui's funeral properly, and let him go."
Zhong Wan bowed deeply and was helped by Yu She.
"Go back to the house and let the imperial doctor take a good look." Emperor Chong'an said a few words of concern, looking at Yu She, "Ziyou stay first, I have something to explain to you."
Yu She supported Zhong Wan, and under his wide cuff, he quickly wrote the word "North" on Zhong Wan's palm, and then let go of him.
Yu She followed Emperor Chong'an into the bedroom, Emperor Chong'an accepted the regretful look he had just given to the crowd, and sat down slowly, "Ziyou, what are you talking about...isn't something wrong?"
Yu She said indifferently: "Of course it's not right."
Emperor Chong'an looked at Yu She, and Yu She's tone was calm, "The robbers who robbed the merchants of small households are not necessarily able to kill people. Now that the robbery is on the head of the royal family, there is no one alive? Seriously heroic."
"Naturally, it may also be that they didn't know about it at first, and they lost their way after they started, so they could only try to destroy the evidence, but before Xuan Rui left, Zhong Wan specifically asked me to ask me to bring a message to the Zongren Mansion and let them Haosheng took care of me, and my people actually went to see it, and I was relieved after learning that they had indeed brought a lot of people on the road." Yu She said, "There are also guards, servants, dozens of people, it will be so easy. Was Loose killed by the robbers without leaving behind a piece of armor? How many robbers must there be?"
Yu She sneered, "The big gang of more than 100 people must have a name. How many can there be along the road? Check them one by one."
Emperor Chong'an looked at Yu She scrutinizingly, and seeing that there was no sadness on his face, he said, "Yes, I have to give an explanation to the Qian'an Prince's Mansion, Zhong Wan was born in the Ning Prince's Mansion, if you don't check, he will definitely want to. An argument, but…”
Emperor Chong'an said calmly, "Since Zhong Wan doesn't trust Xuan Rui to go on the road alone, he didn't let your people follow him? If your people followed, would they be killed together, or..."
Yu She sneered in his heart, unfortunately, he really had been prepared for this long ago.
"Zhong Wan explained it to me, but I only asked my people to send Xuan Rui out of the city. After leaving the city, my people came back." Yu She said frankly, "The emperor does not believe it, you can investigate thoroughly and ask the sectarian. The relevant officials of the government asked the officers and soldiers who were guarding the city that day to see if I had lied, if I had used my hands and feet to kill Xuan Rui."
Emperor Chong'an laughed, "You child, I have no doubts about you! I just hoped that your people would be better, escaped, and told us what happened, Xuan Rui was cowardly and incompetent, and he had nothing to do with others. Hatred, this is too strange."
Yu She stopped talking, and Emperor Chong'an said to himself, "But maybe, there are really a few cronies around you who want to share your worries, or did you sneak away after hearing Zhong Wan's private explanation? So... let's investigate. Check it out."
A sneer flashed in Yu She's eyes, but he didn't speak.
Emperor Chong'an immediately ordered the palace staff to send a message to investigate, turned his head to comfort Yu She and said, "Don't worry about it, I'm doing it for your own good, in case I find out that it was someone on your side who made up their own minds, I would have known earlier, and also Can cover up for you, stop standing, sit down, and wait with me to see what they can find out."
An hour later, the palace servants turned back and knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor, on the day that the original Qian'an King was sent out of the capital, the people of Prince Yu Xiaowang did follow, but they came back after ten miles out of the city, and they were all from the other courtyards of Prince Yu's mansion. Family generals, there are records of entering and leaving the city gate, the servants have just checked, and the dozen or so family generals have all shown up in Beijing these days, and they have all the witnesses."
Only then did Emperor Chong'an feel completely relieved, he shook his head and smiled, and said to Yu She, "Look, isn't this clear? If someone says that you did something, I will be able to decide for you. ."
Yu She's face was frosty, and the palace servant was afraid that Emperor Chong'an would not come to the stage, so he hurriedly said, "Yes! With the testimony of the saint, no one dares to doubt the little prince."
Yu She really didn't want to hear these words, so he endured his disgust and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Chong'an winked and ordered the palace servants to go down. Now that he was relieved of Yu She, he dared to discuss with him, "You said... Xuan Rui is really dead?"
Yu She said coldly, "I don't know."
Emperor Chong'an was most annoyed by Yu She's lukewarm appearance toward him, and said annoyed, "What if I checked you? What are you doing with this look? If you hadn't been close to me all the time, I would have harassed you. Doubtful?"
Emperor Chong'an's face also relaxed, "Ziyou, thunder, thunder, rain and dew are all graces, don't you understand?"
Yu She's face was as usual, and she knelt down, "Thank you Lord Longen."
"You!" Emperor Chong'an couldn't help beating his chest angrily, he wanted Yu She to go away, but he has been restless for the past few days. Best of all, among the sons, they could only rely on Yu She, "That's it! Get up and talk."
Yu She got up, stroked the corner of his clothes, and said, "If you live to see people die, you need to see corpses. Now, I can't find a single corpse. It's impossible to say that Xuan Rui is really dead. If you want a result, you can only check."
Emperor Chong'an thought that this was nonsense.
Although Yu She was the minister of the Dali Temple, he had been messing around for so many years, and he didn't really know anything. Emperor Chong'an said without hope, "How to check?"
"I immediately ordered that the officials of the government offices within 200 miles of the accident point to report by themselves. There are several bandit villages in the territory. How many people are in each bandit village, and they may have fled in the past month."
"Explain to them that the past condone the robbery of the bandits is not to be blamed, but those who dare to not report, conceal, or lie about the information will be shot to death."
"And then order all the government officials within 300 miles along the way from the accident point to picket the pawn shops in the local area, search all the property that has been collected in the past month, and check whether there are any items of high or official use. In the case of bandits, there will be something to gain.”
"The son of the clan died inexplicably on the way, and the officials along the way will be held accountable, but the officials who have done a good job in picking up this matter will be credited to the grades of the year, and they will be promoted after the case is cleared up."
Emperor Chong'an was stunned for a while, and looked at Yu She in a trance.
Yu She frowned and continued, "If the emperor thinks it's feasible?"
Emperor Chong'an returned to his senses and nodded, "It's very comprehensive, but if... If this is the case, what can't we detect?"
Yu She said, "That means that Xuan Rui may not have died, but was taken prisoner by a scoundrel. What is it for... I don't know."
Emperor Chong'an was uneasy. The recent events always made him a little flustered. He vaguely felt that things were not so coincidental. Xuan Rui should not have been suddenly attacked by robbers at this juncture.
Emperor Chong'an raised his head and glanced at Yu She, the only consolation in his heart now was that he felt more and more that Yu She was not so absurd.
Emperor Chong'an couldn't help but think, is it really a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix begets a phoenix
The toughest son of yours, was born to be an emperor
Emperor Chong'an looked at Yu She and thought about the successor, and felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and said, "Okay, then do as you said, let's make arrangements, I'm really uncomfortable, I want to rest for a while..."
Before Yu She got up, the palace servants hurried in and looked at Yu She with a strange expression.
Emperor Chong'an wanted Yu She to retreat, but he was unwell, knowing that he had no energy to deal with anything else, and said tiredly, "Forget it, say it."
The palace servant took two steps forward and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with Prince Yu..."
Emperor Chong'an frowned, "What's wrong?"
The palace servant hesitated and whispered, "Yu Wangye still doesn't recognize the assassination..."
"There are all human and material evidences, what exactly do you do?" Emperor Chong'an said angrily, "Of course he doesn't admit it! You have no other way?"
"But, but..." the palace servant said anxiously, "Yu Wangye confessed his guilt, but he didn't admit it. He said that he has indeed done something wrong to the royal family over the years, and there are many more things. Now that he has entered the clan's mansion, he is willing to Tell me, Your Majesty!"
The palace servant said in fear, "Yu Wangye, what is he going to say?"
The blood on Emperor Chong'an's face faded instantly.
The palace servant said anxiously, "Yu Wangye has not yet explained, the old clan relatives have been alerted! Now the clan family wants to invite the clan relatives, there Yu Wangye means that he has a lot of evidence in his hands, If anything happens to him, everything will be revealed to the world, Your Majesty…”
Emperor Chong'an's hands suddenly trembled, and he fell down on the dragon chair.
Emperor Chong'an suddenly thought of something, looked at Yu She, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xuan Rui, Xuan Rui... Could it be, could it be... "
Yu She's expression was calm, and she nodded lightly.
Emperor Chong'an's voice was hoarse and he gritted his teeth, "Yu Mucheng..."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" An old eunuch outside ran in with a few memorials in his hand, looking eager, "Your Majesty, something happened!"
Emperor Chong'an didn't care about anything else, and said gaily, "Get out!"
The old eunuch was startled, fell to his knees with a plop, and looked at Yu She tremblingly.
Yu She said lightly, "Your Majesty is not feeling well, so all ordinary things will be put on hold."
"It's not normal." The old eunuch said in a trembling voice, "This is a memorial sent by the cabinet, Your Majesty, something really happened..."
Emperor Chong'an had a splitting headache, "What's wrong?! What's wrong?!"
The old eunuch said eagerly, "Your Majesty, something happened in the north! There is trouble in Bei Di, and, and..."
"There are only a few Beidi soldiers in total!" Emperor Chong'an lost his demeanor and roared, "Fight or retreat! Is the Ministry of War out of order? Does the cabinet have no brains? What do you say to me?!"
"No, Your Majesty." The old eunuch cried, "Someone came to play an hour ago, saying that His Royal Highness Fifth Highness colluded with Bei Di in private, and wanted to help King Bei Di break my border! For this reason, he forced Yu Xiaowangye to lead his troops to go on an expedition, and then framed it again. Yu Xiaowang is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!"
The four big characters of collaborating with the enemy and treason fell into Emperor Chong'an's heart, and his mind exploded instantly.
No one is more familiar with this way of framing the blame than him.
Emperor Chong'an listened to the old eunuch's words and thought about the sin that Yu Mucheng was about to confess. For a while, the world was spinning, and he couldn't even tell whether the old eunuch was talking about Xuan Qiong or himself.
The old eunuch said eagerly, "The blood book that King Beidi gave to the Fifth Highness privately has been sent! Although the blood book is broken, it is very clearly recorded. Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Your Majesty! Someone..."
Emperor Chong'an vomited a mouthful of black blood and fell straight from the dragon chair. In the hall, the pot was fried in an instant, and it seemed to be in chaos.
Palace maids, chamberlains, imperial physicians... Countless people passed by Yu She hurriedly, Yu She narrowed her eyes, and she hid the happiness in her eyes.
If it wasn't for the clarity of Zhong Wan still in his heart, Yu She couldn't restrain himself from laughing in this hall.
The time is not yet, he still needs to hide the madness in his heart.
Yu She closed his eyes and listened with enjoyment to the chaotic footsteps of the crowd and the terrified groan of Emperor Chong'an.
Yu She knew that she was not clean, so she suffered every day for seven years.
Now, the fruit of this sin is finally up to others to taste a thing or two.
