After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Yingshu quietly returned to her tent. It took a while before she let out a long breath.

"I didn't hear the young master's order just now, so I didn't dare to act without authorization. But I could see clearly that the murderer appeared from the pass, quickly approached the deceased, and succeeded with one blow."

"Forget what happened tonight." Yingshu said to Xuanying, "Listen carefully, today you accompanied me around Qingying Lake and chatted until late at night before returning to the camp."

"My servant obeys the order."

Yingshu knew that this night would not be peaceful, but she did not expect that it was Concubine Liu Shu who caused the incident first.

Mrs. Liu had been waiting for Zheng Lianzi to return to the camp. According to the plan, Zheng Lianzi "discovered" that Xianhua was missing. She had no choice but to tell Her Majesty the Queen to send people to search for Xianhua. When Xianhua's body was found, she would follow up step by step. A plan to frame the Xuan family.

Xianhua was indeed missing, but even Zheng Lianzi did not return to the camp on time.

Mrs. Liu was so anxious that she couldn't sit still, so she had no choice but to go against the plan and went to Empress Yu for help: "Isn't it because Lian'er was too nervous that she lost her way? Although there was a dangerous barrier between the inner and outer areas, Lian'er didn't Maybe I entered the inner circle by mistake, and there are no ferocious beasts outside, but I still feel uneasy, can you... secretly send someone to find Lian'er first?"

"It stands to reason that there will be no accidents, and the distance is not far. Moreover, we have already told Lian'er to only walk along the paved road. She also went to explore the road first. No matter how nervous she is, she will not get lost. But It stands to reason that she should have come back a long time ago. No one has been seen yet. She lives in the same camp as you. If you don't report it, it will make people suspicious. That's all. Lian'er's safety is the most important thing. I will report it right away. His Majesty."

Tonight, it was Li Bin who was still "serving" in the imperial tent. The palace servants did not dare to wake up the emperor directly, so they had to wake up Li Bin first and ask her for instructions. Li Bin didn't care about anything else, she only cared about someone competing with her for favor, that is, the queen. She didn't want to give in, so she went out of the imperial tent. When she asked about Zheng Liangren's disappearance, she said impatiently: "Your Highness, the Queen, must be confused. Zheng Liangren has already been given to the prince's concubine, but the prince has not yet married. She didn’t go to the East Palace first, so how could His Majesty care about her whereabouts?”

Mrs. Liu, who has always been good-tempered, was furious: "What Li Bin said is so unreasonable! The palace family members were lost in the paddock. What a big deal is this?! Of course, you must report it to Your Majesty. Otherwise, if Zheng Liangren has an emergency, Li Bin, you can take the responsibility." ?!”

"Concubine Shu, you don't even know what time it is. How dare a dear man like you, who is just having fun and not returning home at night, dare to disturb your majesty's rest for such a trivial matter? Besides, Mr. Zheng lives with you, she's going Don't you know where he is? Although you can't mobilize the central army of the Palace Guards, Her Royal Highness the Queen is here, how can you not mobilize the guards of the East Palace? You should look for it yourself first to avoid making a fuss. As a result, Zheng Liangren didn't know what to do with him. Whoever drinks too much and sleeps in another tent, and His Majesty blames him, will really ruin Zheng Liangren's future."

Mrs. Liu still wanted to argue, but the queen pulled her away.

After she was far away from the royal tent, the queen said in a deep voice: "You are confused. You just said that Lian'er was lost in the paddock. How could she be in the paddock at night?! Okay, since Li is blocking the way. , we must show off first."

As a result, this behavior actually caused a big incident.

Yingshu was actually "awakened" by the middle girl Yi.

"This is terrible, hurry up and go to the imperial tent. Just tonight, two murders happened in the paddock. Your Majesty was furious! Alas, Concubine Shu somehow insisted that it was Lord Xuan Dian who killed Zheng Liangren. Master and servant, we are in the midst of the first ceremony and something like this happened... Ah Shu, please change your clothes quickly."

"Mr. Zheng Liang, which Mr. Zheng Liang?"

"Who else is Zheng Liang?! Is there any good person who can accompany me? Isn't it that Zheng Liang?"

Zheng Lianzi is actually dead?

Yingshu was completely stunned, how could Zheng Lianzi become the deceased! ! !

When Yingshu rushed outside the imperial tent, she saw Li Bi, who was about to cry without tears, pacing back and forth. When she saw Yingshu, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She rushed forward and shook Yingshu: " Prisoner Wang, you have to be fair to me. I never thought that someone would actually dare to commit a crime in the paddock?! Besides, Zheng Liangren, master and servant, why did they go to the paddock for no reason? How could they have been caught if they had stayed in the camp? The way of the 'evil devil'!

This is none of my business, how could I have thought of it? This matter is very strange. Maybe it is exactly what Concubine Shu said, and it is Zheng Liangren who was harmed by Mr. Xuan Dian. Who would have thought of this? Who would have thought! "

"Li Bin, shut up."

Yingshu turned around and saw Mrs. Zheng arriving at the scene.

"The fact that you are still standing outside the royal tent safe and sound means that His Majesty has not blamed you at all. If you just want to clear yourself up, you can accuse the Emperor of the Palace with your empty teeth. Even if you have nothing to do with Zheng Liangren's death, you will still offend the Emperor of the Palace. of guilt.”

Yingshu silently saluted Mrs. Zheng and followed Mrs. Zheng into the imperial tent.

At a glance, Concubine Shu, whose heart was broken, and the Queen, who was hiding her face and weeping, obviously only one of the two women showed her true feelings.

Is Zheng Lianzi really dead?

Yingshu was confused, but before she could take a closer look at Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu had already pounced on her like a vicious dog. Fortunately, she was stopped by Minister Zhongchang.

"Wang Yingshu, you must be an accomplice! Xuan is so ruthless and can't do without you fanning the flames! My Lian'er was first resented by Wang Yingshu because of her outspokenness. It was you who masterminded the plan and instigated Xuan to also treat my Lian'er. With jealousy in your heart, you, you two... are simply snake-hearted!"

A gust of cold wind blew in, and Mrs. He also rushed to the scene.

"Your Lian'er?" Mrs. He was overjoyed: "Shu Fei, have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Even when you call your biological daughter, you call her aunt and princess, and you have never said 'my Yu'er'. By the way, what is the relationship between Mr. Zheng and you? She is just a chosen girl, how come she becomes your Lian'er? "

"Concubine He, such a tragedy happened suddenly. Concubine Shu made the mistake of speaking indiscriminately, but you can't misinterpret what she said when she was grieving. Zheng Liangren's aunt and Concubine Shu were close friends. She treated Zheng Liangren naturally. Unusual, Your Majesty is also aware of this matter." The Queen sighed.

But I forgot to sigh with sobs.

"The History of Chinese Women is written." Sikong Tong, who was fully aware of the case, spoke in the tone of the emperor: "My beloved Zheng and the palace maid Xianhua were suspected of being killed by the murderer 'evil ghost' hiding in the palace. The concubine Liu accused the real person in public The murderer was not an 'evil ghost', but was ordered by Lord Shenyuandian to commit the murder. Since the victims were not courtiers, they were all family members of the palace, and because the crime occurred during the Autumn Hunting Ceremony and the crime occurred in the paddock, I decided not to take the case. It will be handed over to the Tingwei Office for trial, and I will try it myself. In this case, the trial will officially begin. The accuser Liu must understand clearly. During the interrogation process, you must not tell the truth. Otherwise, you will be charged with deceiving the emperor. Discuss."

Yingshu accepted the order, sat down aside, pondered for a while, and wrote down the year, month, day, exact time, reasons, etc. She knew that although this record was only written down by her, a female official, she would not hand it over. It is kept by the Imperial Court Office and can be related to murder cases that occurred within the palace. This record should be kept in the Internal Affairs Bureau. If necessary, it will most likely be recorded in the history of the country in the future.

She also heard Mrs. Liu crying and begging: "Your Majesty, I dare to guarantee with my life that Lian'er's death will be caused by the Xuan family. I beg your majesty to interrogate the Xuan family in public."

Then the queen said: "There is something wrong with Concubine Shu's wording. The evidence is still unclear. The Lord of Shenyuan Palace has a distinguished status. How could His Majesty be in a hurry to interrogate her? However, since we want to find out the case, we must invite the Lord to inquire." Speaking of which, my concubine is also at fault in this matter. I have indeed heard that Dian Jun and Lian'er had conflicts before. Because her health was not always good, she did not teach Lian'er in time. However, even if Lian'er's words did offend Dian Jun, It can't be... After all, Lian'er was the chosen one in the palace and was brutally killed. No matter who the murderer is, we must find out."

Ying Shu wrote smoothly, but she felt very depressed. Empress Yu and Concubine Liu Shu had not realized the seriousness of the case until now, especially Empress Yu. She said that Zheng Lianzi died unjustly and must be investigated to the end, but her In your heart, why did you ever regard Zheng Lianzi's life as a human life? Queen Yu didn't know how to hunt, and had never even touched a bow and arrow. However, she clearly appeared as a hunter on this hunting ground. Zheng Lianzi was her prey. In this life, Zheng Lianzi died before she had the chance to become a jackal. Under the crossbow of Queen Yu.

What's even more ridiculous is that Zheng Lianzi should not be Queen Yu's prey at all. She has always been Queen Yu's lackey. Who would have thought that the deadly trap Queen Yu deliberately dug this time was actually to shoot the hound she raised. !

The trial of the case in the imperial tent has not yet officially begun, but the princes have already heard about this sudden murder. However, the emperor did not summon him, and the princes did not dare to break into the imperial tent without permission. However, Sikong, who witnessed the incident with his own eyes, Yuehu, on the other hand, showed an indifferent attitude towards the whole case, but a visitor broke into his tent.

After Xiao Bozhu heard the news, he became very anxious. When he broke into the fourth prince's tent, he put his arms into the sleeves of his cloak. Regardless of how much the fourth prince was sleeping on his pillow, he opened his mouth and asked: "Your Highness, is it really true that Mr. Zheng Liang was killed? Mr. Zheng Why was he killed in the paddock? And why did Liu Bin... accuse Lord Shenyuandian of being the real murderer?"

Sikong Yuehu opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

"Prime Minister Xiao Lingcheng, there is no need to be so anxious. Even if Her Royal Highness the Queen intends to choose Zheng Liang as the concubine of the East Palace, my father has not yet made a final decision on whether Zheng Liang will go or stay. Zheng Liang is still selected by the inner palace. Why was she killed and merged with the East Palace? There is no direct connection.”

"Your Highness, you should know that although this is the case, the situation must be related to the East Palace!"

"Even so, Xiao Lingcheng should wait and see what happens."

"The matter involves the Lord of Shenyuan Palace. If the Lord really misunderstands that His Highness the Crown Prince instigated Concubine Shu to frame her, I'm afraid... the second and third princes are both vying to marry Lord Shenyuan Palace as their royal concubine!"

"Then what does Xiao Lingcheng think?"

"I hope His Highness can find out the truth and prove the innocence of everyone in the East Palace!"

"Who does Xiao Lingcheng think is the murderer of Zheng Liangren?"

"I firmly believe that Lord Shenyuandian is definitely not the murderer."

"Why?"

Xiao Bozhu was furious, but he finally sat down and looked at the fourth prince's still cold and indifferent eyebrows under the dim candlelight. He remembered that year, he mustered up the courage to ask for an audience with Lord Xinsu, who was now the assistant king. He reminded Mr. Ansu, isn't he worried that the Queen Mother is greedy for power, manipulates the government and refuses to return it to the king? Mr. Ansu looked at him calmly.

Question: "Your Majesty, can you make decisions on political affairs now? The courtiers are always jealous and anxious about things that have never happened. So I would like to ask Xiao Qing, who should decide the political affairs in the court now, so that the ministers will not worry about the loss of monarchy? , causing disaster?
