After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

The emperor frowned and put the tea cup in his hand on the table.

There was a "click" sound, neither light nor heavy, like a heavy hammer, hitting the Queen Mother's heart.

She immediately fell silent and just looked at the emperor silently.

"Mother, I have also considered what you said. Not to mention that the Ninth Prince and Qiao Wanshu are still young now, so they are not in a hurry to talk about marriage. Even I am also in the prime of spring and autumn, and I am in my prime years. I am not at all interested. It is urgent to establish a prince again.

In addition, the forces in the DPRK are complicated and complicated, and the Ninth Prince is not able to deal with them now. How could I easily issue a decree to grant a marriage. There is really no need to worry about it, Queen Mother. "

When the Queen Mother heard this, she knew that this would have to be stopped temporarily.

The Ninth Prince's biological mother has always been a thorn in the Emperor's heart. He loves the whole family and wants to make up for the Ninth Prince too eagerly.

In addition, the queen did go too far this time, which gave the emperor a lot of stimulation.

I am afraid that it will be necessary to establish the Ninth Prince as the crown prince. Just to minimize the opposition, the emperor will put more effort into the timing of the announcement and the previous momentum building.

The Queen Mother thought about it in her heart, but couldn't help but sigh secretly.

She really didn't want a prince with the status of the former dynasty to sit in the position of the ninth-five-year-old prince in the future.

However, there is no better way to change the emperor's mind now, so he can only try to do it slowly.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, the prince's affairs cannot be delayed any longer. He must be buried in mourning, and he should be given an explanation by the civil and military officials."

The Queen Mother finally changed the subject temporarily.

This is the top priority now and what should be dealt with.

"There is no need to worry about this Queen Mother. I have already made a decision in my heart and will announce it to the world soon. I will also let the prince rest in peace as soon as possible."

As the emperor spoke, he stood up and said calmly to the queen mother: "It's getting late, so my mother should rest early. I'll go now. If your mother needs anything else, please let me know at any time."

Then he turned around and walked away.

Seeing the emperor's figure hurried away, the Queen Mother sighed deeply and said with some worry: "The emperor has been completely blinded by a dead man. If he can't wake up in time, I'm afraid... it won't be a blessing to our court. "

……

In the Ninth Prince's palace, Qiao Wanshu was holding a small spoon and eating a bowl of goat's milk soup.

Although I live in the palace without any familiar relatives around me, I have to say that the food prepared in the royal kitchen of the palace is really delicious!

[If there are such delicious food to eat every day, it is not impossible to live in the palace for a while. 】

Qiao Wanshu's thoughts were just temporarily tempted by the delicious food.

She had no interest in living in this cold and gloomy palace.

The Ninth Prince's dining etiquette was impeccable.

He ate the food from his bowl quietly, without even making a sound.

This aroused Qiao Wanshu's great interest, and she ate every bite of her goat milk soup. She just looked at the Ninth Prince to see how he managed to eat silently.

Just when the Ninth Prince looked a little impatient and glanced over, a guard hurried in.

"For the Ninth Prince, your Majesty's young father-in-law has come to deliver a message, saying that the murderer of His Royal Highness has surrendered. Fourth Young Master Qiao and Miss Qiao can leave the palace and go home at any time."

"The murderer surrendered? What happened?"

The Ninth Prince put down the bowls and chopsticks in surprise, and even Qiao Wanshu also put down the dishes and stared at the guard with piercing eyes.

Soon, a young chamberlain was brought over and the matter was recounted again.

It turned out that not long ago, a woman went to Dali Temple to complain.

He said that he was motivated to murder the prince because of love and hatred.

She deliberately lured the prince to leave midway, took the opportunity to use stolen poison to make the prince lose his ability to resist, and then brutally killed him.

So now not only the prince, but also Qiao Jingyang's suspicion has been completely cleared.

【How can it be! 】

Qiao Wanshu marveled in her heart: [There are obviously so many doubts. Whether it was the poison that only the Ninth Prince's biological mother had, or the fragments of the costume that the prince was holding in his hand, it seemed that the woman who appeared out of nowhere couldn't get it. 】

[This is obviously just looking for someone to take the blame. Don’t make it too obvious! 】

She couldn't help but look at the Ninth Prince.

His face was also ugly, and he seemed not to have expected that this would be the final result.

"Okay, I understand, father-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

The Ninth Prince was silent for a long time, signaled to the guard, stuffed some money into the little chamberlain, and then sent him away.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

The guard asked for instructions carefully.

Originally, the Ninth Prince was in charge of this case, but now it has been closed for no apparent reason.

Although it seems that the suspicion of the Ninth Prince has been cleared, whether the civil and military officials will believe this ending is simply a tacit understanding.

"Your Majesty has already made a decision, so we can only comply with it."

After the Ninth Prince finished speaking, he seemed to have lost his appetite, stood up and walked out.

Qiao Wanshu saw the guards following closely behind, and followed the Ninth Prince into the courtyard.

After the two of them stood still, they seemed to be talking about something.

[This kid actually wants to avoid me! He must be telling you something shameful! 】

Qiao Wanshu complained in her heart.

Unfortunately, she hasn't finished her meal yet, and other palace maids are following her around.

Even if you avoid the maid's gaze and want to hear the conversation between the Ninth Prince and his subordinates, it doesn't seem that easy.

She tried hard to prick up her ears, but the distance was too far and it was not easy to hear what they said clearly.

Fortunately, Qiao Wanshu's eyesight and memory were both good. She tried her best to memorize the lip shapes of the two people talking, and through half-trying and half-guessing, she was still confused.

The Ninth Prince said that although the Emperor gave this explanation to the outside world, he almost did not use the collected evidence submitted by the Ninth Prince.

This shows that in his heart, he still believes that the Ninth Prince is the real murderer.

This matter is only finished on the surface, but there are still many hidden dangers left.

For the sake of caution, the Ninth Prince asked his subordinates to turn light into darkness and continue to investigate in secret until the matter was completely revealed.

In this way, if the emperor's mind changes in the future and he wants to bring up old matters again, he will not be confused and unable to deal with it.

Qiao Wanshu took a hard guess and felt that it was almost exactly what it meant!

She saw the Ninth Prince suddenly looking up, and quickly lowered his head, pretending to be working seriously.

But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

[No wonder the Crown Prince had to kill the Ninth Prince. It was because the Emperor was too partial. If the Ninth Prince does not die, his crown prince position will not be secure. 】

[Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on people, and in the end, I made wedding clothes for others. But things have changed in this life, and the unlucky prince is still doomed. 】

[I just don’t know who will win the battle between the Ninth Prince and Liu Zhan in the end if the Ninth Prince is still alive in this life. 】
