After lunch, Shen Wan walked around the yard twice before going back to the house to take a nap.

She didn't sleep for long, only half an hour. When she woke up, Yin Shuang told her, "Princess, just now someone from the Huyang Princess's Mansion came to invite Dr. Tao to treat the eldest princess." sick."

There is no need to ask Doctor Tao for Princess Huyang's illness. There are many doctors in the palace, so going to Doctor Tao for treatment is probably the second most important thing. The main thing is to hear Doctor Tao talk about her own flesh and blood, and it is difficult for Princess Huyang. Princess now.

Shen Wan lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Yin Shuang helped her put on her clothes. Shen Wan was thirsty and drank a cup of tea. She had nothing to do and was ready to go to the garden.

As soon as he left the hospital, he saw a young boy leading Prince Xuanping from a distance. Prince Xuanping was holding a few books in his hand. When he saw Shen Wan, he bowed to Shen Wan and then went to find Xie Jingyan.

In the study room.

Xie Jingyan was picking up books from the bookshelf.

Chen Feng came in with tea and said, "Sir, Prince Xuanpinghou is here."

Before Chen Feng finished speaking, Lu Cheng went in and said, "Brother Jing Yan, I'm here to return your military book."

Xie Jingyan sat down with the book and said casually, "Just put it on the bookshelf."

Lu Cheng put the books on the bookshelf and said, "I'll pick a few more and go back to read them."

Xie Jingyan had a large collection of books, many of which were not found elsewhere. Xie Jingyan often selected books from the palace library to read. Some books looked good, so he would have people copy them and put them in the study room so that they could be read at any time.

Although Lu Cheng was the heir to Xuanping Hou and had a high status, he could not go to the library in the palace. Moreover, there were many books in the palace and it was dazzling. It was troublesome to choose. King Ling had read some books that he thought were good. , that must be good. Borrowing it directly from Prince Ling can save a lot of trouble.

As a prince, it is rare to see someone who likes reading so much, but Lu Cheng knew that Xie Jingyan's habit of reading was forced to develop. Guarding the imperial mausoleum was boring, he fell off a horse and broke his leg, and he was in a wheelchair all day long. I can only read books to pass the time.

Lu Cheng picked three books from the bookshelf, and then said, "I still have to pick out a few books for Prince Yanping. I don't know what books he likes to read."

Xie Jingyan glanced at Lu Cheng and said, "Can't he pick it himself?"

Lu Cheng said, "It's just that he couldn't come, so he asked me to help him choose."

Why can't you come?

This morning he went to Yanping Palace to receive the imperial edict, and saw him kneeling on the ground to receive the edict. He looked much better than when he was in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Xie Jingyan felt strange and listened to Lu Cheng said, "The Emperor is retriing the case of Prince Yanping. I just came to return the books. On the way, I met Prince Yanping riding his horse to the Ministry of Punishment. He asked me to help him choose a few books and take them with him when he visits the prison later. Give it to him to pass the time."

Xie Jingyan frowned, "Did the Criminal Department arrest him and put him in jail?"

Lu Cheng shook his head, "He went there by himself."

Xie Jingyan, "..."

Xie Jingyan's eyes twitched hard.

I have seen people who are so heartless, but I have never seen Prince Yanpyeong be so heartless.

The Ministry of Punishment did not ask him to go to jail, but he went to jail on his own.

Wasn't it because you didn't have enough time in jail last time?

Well, everyone in the Criminal Department was also suspicious.

The case of Prince Yanping is clear to everyone in the Criminal Department. There is no need to interrogate Prince Yanping again. All they need is for the eldest daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to provide a testimony, and then ask the servant of the Princess Huyang Mansion to record a confession to prove what the eldest daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion has done. If the statement is true, the son of the eldest princess of Huyang did die in an accident, so the prince of Yanping can be acquitted and released, so there is no need to spend any more time in jail.

But in order to prove his innocence, Prince Yanping took the initiative to come to the Ministry of Punishment to facilitate the Ministry of Punishment's investigation of the case. What the Ministry of Punishment could do was to reluctantly put him in prison.

This level lasts for three days.

The Ministry of Punishment does not want to keep Prince Yanping in prison for so long. It is not difficult to retry this case, but the case of Du Guogong's old lady's murder of the eldest princess of Huyang is bigger and more urgent. The Ministry of Punishment has to focus on the case of Du Guogong's palace first and cannot take care of Yanping. Prince Wang, after two days of delay, Prince Yanping stayed in the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment for two more days.

Prince Yanping, "..."

……

On this day, Shen Wan was leaning on the small couch, eating fruit and studying the chess records.

Since the last time he lost miserably in a chess game, Shen Wan began to study chess. She didn't expect to win against Xie Jingyan, but she just wanted not to lose too badly.

Just as she was watching, Dong'er ran in from outside and said, "Princess, the old lady of Du Guogong's mansion murdered the eldest princess of Huyang nineteen years ago and stole the eldest princess of Huyang's flesh and blood."

Before Shen Wan asked, Yin Shuang couldn't wait to ask, "How was the sentence determined?"

Dong'er hurriedly replied, "Mrs. Du Guogong was sentenced to be beheaded in public. Du Guogong, his wife Du Guogong and their children were sentenced to exile. Mrs. Du Guogong's natal Wang family was sentenced to have her home confiscated. Mrs. Wang's family and Mrs. Du Guogong were beheaded together. Others went into exile.”

Of all the people who directly and indirectly murdered the eldest princess of Huyang, the Queen Mother did not spare any of them. If Du Guogong was not really aware of the plot, Mrs. Du Guogong had not yet entered the house when she plotted against the eldest consort. The Queen Mother even wanted to pick off their heads. Mr. Du Guogong's mansion Not to mention the person's natal family, without the consent of the natal family, how dare Mrs. Du Guogong let her niece use raw rice to cook rice to win the eldest son-in-law, and also exchange children, the Wang family who suffered a dumb loss is the mastermind.

For the sake of the prince's consort, the emperor did not raid Du Guogong's mansion. On the morning of the next day, the emperor allowed the prince's consort to inherit the title. Originally, the title should have been his. The prince's consort just couldn't control the military, not that he couldn't take the title.

The case in Du Guogong's Mansion was settled, and the Minister of Punishment was free to retry the case of Prince Yanping. The Minister of Punishment personally went to the eldest princess's mansion in Huyang and persuaded the eldest son-in-law to hand over the young man who followed the eldest young master to Liuzhuang Changqiao that day. After the young man's confession, all the evidence was sorted out and presented to the emperor for review. The emperor was not dissatisfied with the verdict of the Ministry of Punishment, so the Minister of Punishment pronounced Prince Yanping innocent.

When the news reached Prince Ling's Mansion, Shen Wan was playing chess with Xie Jingyan. After several days of study, he lost even more miserably. Just as he was feeling upset, the little maid Dong'er outside came in and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the Ministry of Punishment has ruled that Prince Yanping is not guilty. , he has been released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

It was considered a verdict. This time the case was retried, Shen Wan was even more anxious than the last time.

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, her clear eyes brighter than the stars in the night sky, and said excitedly, "Prince Yanping was found not guilty, will the gold medal for immunity from death be returned?"

Xie Jingyan looked at her reflection in her eyes and was about to nod when Chun'er ran in from outside and announced the good news, "Princess, good news! Prince Yanping was found not guilty, and the emperor handed Yanping the gold medal to avoid death." King, King Yanping gave the death-free gold medal to the Yun family, and also promised the head of Qinghe County to young master Dabiao..."
