three days later

The imperial concubine was demoted to the rank of noble, and King Yu was imprisoned.

The reason is to find the Qin family to seduce the prince.

Qin was executed.

The prince was detained for three days and then released.

Zhu Gaoyong took her to the East Palace to visit.

When Zhu Gaoyong saw the prince, he was very decadent.

Bai Yueguang died again.

Holding a wine jar in one hand and a portrait in the other, drinking wine to relieve sorrow, seeing things and thinking about people.

Zhu Gaoyong frowned slightly.

He took a step forward and took the wine from the prince's hand.

"Prince, what are you doing?"

"She's dead again."

"A woman who bewitches you shouldn't live."

"No, she is innocent. Someone instigated her. She loves me."

"..."

Zhu Gaoyong felt that the prince was hopeless.

"Your Majesty, it's better to sober up first, and then we can have a good talk."

Fang Xirou came over and met with the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess looked cold and seemed not to welcome her visit.

Fang Xirou didn't stay long. When Zhu Gaoyong came out, she also left.

I went to see the empress Yifei. Yifei had been frightened recently and told them several times to be careful.

Fang Xirou glanced at Zhu Gaoyong. If he hadn't caused trouble, the prince would have died long ago.

If the eldest brother and the third brother are implicated, they will also be imprisoned.

Although the current development of things is somewhat different from the previous life, the eldest brother and the third brother are still imprisoned.

Only the prince is a variable.

Zhu Gaoyong chose the prince.

The two of them did not dare to say anything in the palace and returned to the house.

What neither of them expected was that as soon as they arrived at the residence, a message came from the palace,

The emperor ordered someone to take him into the palace.

Zhu Gaoyong snorted coldly and followed the people into the palace.

Inside the Imperial Study Room

Emperor Ruizhong sat on the dragon throne as if he was decadent, and his whole person was very bad.

Seeing Lao Jiu come in, he asked, "What did you say to the prince today?"

"Father, my son went to see the prince. He hoped that the prince could cheer up. He didn't say anything else."

"But he's dead."

Zhu Gaoyong frowned and asked: "Impossible. I still saw the prince today. He is still alive and well. How could he die?"

"Death from poisoning."

Zhu Gaoyong frowned, and he subconsciously thought of Zhu Gaojian.

"Father, what did you find?"

"Before the prince was poisoned, you were the only one who visited him. Besides you, what else was there to check?"

"..."

Fang Xirou was waiting at the house, unsure of her thoughts.

I sent someone to ask, but I couldn't get any information.

She couldn't sleep, and she didn't enter the palace anxiously until dawn the next day.

There was silence in the palace.

Fang Xirou entered Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Yi seemed to have not slept all night.

The eyes are dark.

When she saw Fang Xirou, she seemed to be going crazy.

"When you went to the East Palace yesterday, was it you who poisoned the prince? Was it you?"

"Go and confess to the emperor quickly, saying that it was you who poisoned the prince, not my son."

Fang Xirou was stunned.

"Concubine, has something happened?"

Yifei's eyes were red.

"The prince is dead."

Murdering the prince is a capital crime.

"The emperor locked up Yong'er. He suspected Lao Jiu."

Fang Xirou frowned.

"How did the prince die?"

"Poisoned."

Fang Xirou frowned again. She didn't believe that anyone in the East Palace would dare to poison the prince.

Prince Xuan's Mansion

When King Xuan heard that the prince was dead, he couldn't help but smile.

"God is really helping me."

He was worried about how to plan.

People just die.

Now the boss and the third child are imprisoned, and the prince is dead again.

Only Lao Jiu was implicated once and for all. He was the only one.

He doesn't have to do anything to get this throne.

Zhuge Qing said: "Fourth Master, now is not the time to be happy. We have to prove Jiu Master's charges. Only in this way can we sit back and relax."

"How to sit down?"

"The Crown Princess..."

When Zhu Gaojian entered the palace, he first went to the Imperial Study Room to greet the emperor, and by the way, he pretended to intercede for Lao Jiu.

The emperor expressed his gratitude for his deep brotherhood and comforted him with a few words.

Wait for someone to leave.

The emperor then said to Marquis Zhongyong next to him: "Now, I only have this good son."

Marquis Zhongyong frowned, seeming worried.

The emperor also saw it.

"Tu Yong, what do you want to say?"

Marquis Zhongyong sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I am thinking about what happened to the royal family recently and feel strange."

"What's so strange?"

"First it was the eldest prince, then the third prince. Now that the prince is gone and the ninth master is convicted, one by one, the only one who benefits in the end is His Highness Prince Xuan."

Emperor Ruizhong said: "The fourth child usually does not fight or grab, he is gentle and elegant..."

Tu Yong knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I just said it casually."

"Now that several princes have had troubles one after another, His Highness Prince Xuan must not let anything happen again."

After what he said, the emperor actually showed doubts in his heart.

"Tu Yong, don't talk to me. Tell me your suspicions..."

Marquis Zhongyong sighed helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, I have been following the Emperor since I was young and have experienced many things. However, if it is said that Master Jiu poisoned the Crown Prince, I will not believe it."

"Let's not talk about the deep brotherhood between Master Jiu and the Crown Prince last year. From the outside, Master Jiu is the Crown Prince's man. How could he poison the Crown Prince? Let's just say that last year, Master Jiu risked his life to save the Crown Prince. He couldn't do the same. I won’t poison the prince.”

Emperor Ruizhong seemed to have remembered

"Laojiu insisted on concealing the accident for the sake of the boss and the third child."

"Now, what should I do?"

Marquis Zhongyong shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is brave and foolhardy, the third prince follows the rules, and the ninth prince is cynical. Now only the fourth prince can be cultivated... I think we can let this matter go."

The more Marquis Zhongyong said this, the more suspicious the emperor became.

Among the princes, the fourth is the only one, so does the fourth dare to be so unscrupulous?

Afterwards, Marquis Zhongyong exited the imperial study, and His Royal Highness King Xuan was waiting not far away.

"Master Hou."

"I have met His Royal Highness King Xuan."

In the past, when Zhongyong Hou met several princes, he was not so respectful.

now?

It seems to be sending some signal.

King Xuan said hypocritically: "Master Marquis, my father is willing to spare my ninth brother."

"This, if Master Jiu is not guilty, he will naturally be forgiven."

"Nineth brother will naturally not murder the prince. He has been friendly with the prince since he was a child and values ​​friendship and righteousness. I am the first one who does not believe that he will murder the prince."

Marquis Zhongyong also nodded.

"I don't believe it either, so the emperor asked me to look for evidence and clear Master Jiu's name."

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Marquis."

"This is my job."
