The eighth prince, Qin Chengzhuo, is set up in the book as a black-bellied person who learns well. On the surface, he is a younger brother who puts the prince first in everything, but it is not the case in reality.

He designed to set up a stumbling block for the prince, and wanted to replace him, but unfortunately he lost to Yu Wenxin in the end.

He can be regarded as one of the last supporting roles.

After reviewing it in his mind, Lu Sixian's heart thumped several times, and he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

After Qin Ruoqian noticed it, she lowered her head subconsciously and said, "Your Highness, just now the imperial physician ordered this servant to change the hot water. It's not good if the water is cold."

The eighth prince didn't pay attention to Qin Ruoqian's words, his eyes were fixed on the hands of the court lady.The rules in the palace are strict, and the etiquette is limited, but the maid's hands are hanging down, which shows that the rules are not good.

He looked at Lu Sixian's hands, and Qin Ruoqian knew something was wrong, Lu Sixian didn't know the rules and etiquette of replying in the palace, and his careless and rude actions aroused suspicion.

She couldn't open her mouth to rescue her, and with a slight movement of her wrist, a bead was thrown towards the palace door.

The palace servants and servants from the outside quickly came over, Qin Chengzhuo frowned, and walked in front of Lu Sixian, still with a gentle look on his face, he raised his head and nodded her forehead: "The rules in the palace are strict, you are so loose, this time it's okay Now, next time someone sees you, your life will be lost."

After finishing speaking, Qin Ruoqian hurriedly went outside the hall to deal with the noise just now, and Qin Ruoqian's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Only Lu Sixian was in the cloud, he didn't understand what was going on, he froze for a moment, and was called away by Qin Ruoqian.

The two left the side hall and quickly left the middle palace, and still met Xiao Lin at the gate of the palace.

Xiao Lin looked at the waist card, but didn't say anything, and ordered someone to let the two out.

Qin Ruoqian stepped forward, and then asked Lu Sixian, "What did you mean when you said that Xiao Lin's eyes are not good?"

The thrilling 'travel' made Lu Sixian's legs weak, he couldn't walk while holding on to the corner of the wall, his body was trembling under the dark night, he shook his head and didn't speak, he didn't have the heart to talk about this question.

There was no one around, and this place was out of the range of the forbidden army. Qin Ruoqian approached her and raised her hand: "Shall I carry you?"

"No, a dignified woman disguised as a man made you recite, hey, hey, can you not be so brave?"

Qin Ruoqian didn't listen to her, and directly carried her on her back. When she raised her foot, she didn't forget to say fiercely: "If you talk so much, I'll carry you back."

"You..." Lu Sixian was so angry that he couldn't say anything more, he hugged her neck, wishing he could bite her and suck her blood to vent his hatred.

The voices of the two were not loud, and did not attract the attention of the imperial army, Xiao Lin still dutifully guarded the gate of the palace.

As he leaned against the door, the number of palace people coming and going gradually decreased. When he was about to close his eyes, a loud voice suddenly came from the silent palace.

Instinctively holding the sword and rushing in, I heard a woman's cries, someone shouted: "The crown prince is dead."

A shrill sound made him almost fall down in fright. After clenching his sword tightly, he glanced at the dark and moonless sky, and the court was about to be in chaos.

The news in the palace quickly spread, and the noble concubine who drank the calming soup was awakened, and when she heard the maid's report, she was so frightened that she opened the brocade curtain, "Say it again."

The palace man's face was pale: "There is news from the central palace that the crown prince has died."

Concubine Wang Guifei trembled, her teeth chattered loudly, and she swallowed hard: "Then, where is the queen?"

"There is no news from the queen yet."

"Is it still alive?" Wang Guifei trembled.

The palace man nodded: "It should be so."

Concubine Wang Guifei lay limp on the couch, secretly rejoicing in her heart that as long as the empress is alive, the matter is related to the previous dynasty, and the emperor will still have some sense of propriety in handling things.

When she was secretly rejoicing, the emperor was furious and wanted to use the imperial doctor to punish him. The eighth prince comforted him and pleaded for mercy, which calmed down the anger.

It was noon the next day when Qin Ruoqian got the news.

When he came back last night, Lu Sixian was so frightened that he wrapped himself in a quilt and hid in a corner to sleep without speaking.

After hearing the news, she poked Lu Sixian's head in the corner: "My son-in-law, the prince is dead."

The sleeper felt that she was irritable, so he slapped her hand away, and said falteringly: "It's early, I can't die, I can live for two years."

When Qin Ruoqian heard the words, the smile in his eyes turned into doubt, "But he is already dead, you can count with your fingers, when will the eighth prince who bullied you last night die?"

"There are still five years left, to die behind the emperor." Lu Sixian turned over and continued to sleep, just after lying down, he was startled, and immediately sat up, his eyes widened in shock: "Dead?"

Qin Ruoqian, on the other hand, looked like he was watching the excitement, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he smiled faintly, Ruo Taohua Fenyan, Ru Bailian Gaoya, "He is indeed dead, I checked his pulse last night and found out that he won't live until tomorrow morning. "

Lu Sixian exploded, clutching his head, looking hopeless, changing the plot of a book as he pleases.

Seeing her in such 'pain', Qin Ruoqian calmed down and pointed to the hands on the quilt: "Pinching fingers doesn't work, I'm going to chop them off."

Lu Sixian subconsciously retracted the quilt into the quilt, pretending not to care, and said: "So what, if you die, you die, it's in your interest."

Ever since the queen's hexagram failed to work, she had noticed something was wrong. The butterfly effect was too strong, and the general plot was still there, but it was too early for the characters to receive their lunch.

Qin Ruoqian is used to being cold and indifferent, she wasn't moved by the prince's death at all, and didn't have much emotion, just like encountering an ordinary thing.

He had no time to talk to Lu Sixian, so he called the palace servants to wash and change his clothes, and changed into a moon-white palace attire, which was elegant and simple.

After breakfast, the concubine Wang Guifei sent someone to invite her.

Lu Sixian from the palace came over and called her eagerly: "Do you have a way to save the queen?"

"Why should I save?" Qin Ruoqian returned to his cold face, and waved his hands to signal the palace servants on the side to retreat.

Lu Sixian didn't want to reveal his life experience, so he came up with a plan and said nonsense: "My father feels guilty towards her, and he should relieve his worries as a man and child. If the princess needs anything, can I do my best?"

Qin Ruoqian sneered, Xiao Shizi was like her, he had no feelings, only money was on his mind, at this time he was asking for an explanation for someone who had nothing to do with him, so there must be a reason.

"I have nothing to do right now, why don't you owe me first?"

"Yes." Lu Sixian agreed, and continued to hide in the hall.

Qin Ruo touched Liyue's white silver woven lapel, her eyes were calm, and she ordered the palace people to guard the Linhua Hall so that no one would come in.

The palace is in chaos.

The mother of the country and the prince were taken down.Poison is a big deal, and the prince died because of it, and the direction of the court suddenly changed.

In the afternoon, it began to drizzle, and the sound of the rain was loud, and the sound of the death knell was repeated.

The crown prince's body had been moved back to the East Palace. It was foggy and misty, and the white flag was wet and drooped listlessly in the water. All the palace staff had changed into white clothes.

Today there is a big funeral and the court will be exempted from court, and courtiers have come to the East Palace to express their condolences in the afternoon, showing sadness.

The rain was pattering, and it didn't seem to stop. The princes were all gathered in the East Palace, but the emperor never showed up.

What happened last night was so sudden that even through the rain, one could tell that the prince's death was too strange, but the emperor stayed with the empress in the central palace.

The crown prince had a great funeral, and the life and death of the mother of the country was uncertain. Several princes dared not speak casually in the middle palace. Even the fifth prince, who had always been lazy, lost his anger and stood silently in the palace.

What happened last night was jointly investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and Yushitai. Shangshu Zhang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice had a cold face with extremely thin corners of his lips, and his eyes were like blades inadvertently. scars on the heart.

Wei Yunqing from Dali Temple is the complete opposite, with a round face, gentle as jade, feminine and handsome, with a three-pointed smile when seeing people, and the two go to investigate the case together, as if black and white are impermanent.

Zhang Zheng didn't say anything, just raising his head lightly, the palace servants were too frightened to speak, and they faltered and were about to cry.

The two went to see Concubine Wang together, Qin Ruoqian was also by her side, she rolled her eyelids to see Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng stood in the hall, the corner of his official robe was stained with water, the cold and hard silhouette made Wang Guifei gasp, he has always known that Zhang Zheng is cold and hard, does not form cliques, does not seek selfishness, he does not know what will happen to this matter.

She ordered someone to give a seat and serve tea, but Zhang Zheng refused: "The ministers are foreign ministers, and they should not enter the back garden according to the law. They only entered the empress's palace after being ordered by the sage, and they can leave after asking about the case."

Soft and hard do not eat.

Wei Yun on the other side had a different attitude, with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty loves you, the tea here must be good tea, I'm sorry to bother you."

The two sang in opposite tunes, so that the palace people in the palace didn't know what to do, whether to serve or not?

The palace man stood there for a while, then gritted his teeth and refused to serve tea, the former was too fierce.

Wang Guifei also had no time to take care of this matter, so she asked someone to invite the person in charge of the dining room, and while they were both present, she handed a list to them: "This is the person who served the banquet last night, and they are all in the list."

After returning to the palace last night, he immediately ordered someone to investigate. As long as he was present, even the palace servants and servants who hadn't been touched would be recorded in the register.

Zhang Zheng took the list, but Wei Yun only glanced at it, and had no intention of competing with him.

Qin Ruoqian, who did not speak from the beginning to the end, has been observing the two of them. Dali Temple is under the Ministry of Punishment, but its management is bigger than that of the Ministry of Punishment, but it is still under its command.

Qi Guogong once analyzed Wei Yun and Zhang Zheng to her. You can't look at their appearance, you need to look at them from the inside.

Zhang Zheng was born as an official, he was good at judging cases and rose through the ranks, while Wei Yun was the number one scholar handpicked by the emperor.

The battle between literati is not much worse than palace fighting.

Wei Yun is gentle and gentle, but he has both sides, making himself feel like a fish in water in the court, but it is Zhang Zheng who can really make people feel at ease.

Chu Junzhong.Zhang Zhenglai still needs to deal with the poisoning matter, and Wei Yun's back is more or less unclean.

She got up and walked towards Zhang Zheng.

Seeing this, Zhang Zheng and Wei Yuan bowed to each other, she raised her eyebrows, and said with a half-smile: "Master Zhang, do you have evidence?"

Zhang Zheng judged the case like a god, and he was sure to get something in half a day.

Hearing this, he didn't speak.

"Last night, His Highness saw through the mystery of the wine at a glance, and gave the ministers great help." Seeing that the boss was silent, Wei Yun answered on his behalf, with a smile on his face.

With a clear voice, Zhang Zheng pursed the corners of his lips and did not answer.

Qin Ruoqian was annoyed, and glared at him furiously: "It's Mr. Zhang who asked the question alone, and the minister of Dali Temple answered it on his behalf. Do you have a boss in your eyes?"

Zhang Zheng frowned.

Wei Yun didn't expect the princess to reprimand him directly, and immediately blushed, bowing to apologize.

Qin Ruoqian continued to ignore him, and asked Zhang Zheng in a pleasant manner.

Zhang Zheng was expressionless, stared at his feet for a moment, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "I have no evidence in my hands."

The autumn rain became heavier again, and the bleak look swept over, crackling like drums, making people dare not look up.

"Your Majesty Zhang has worked hard." Qin Ruoqian said, and turned around to sit back.

The appreciation was very obvious, and a cold light flashed in Wei Yun's eyes.

Wang Guifei didn't know her daughter's intention, she praised one person and demoted another, this method was too obvious, she was curious, many palace people came from outside, she ordered them to bring them in.

Zhang Zheng refused: "The ministers are foreign ministers, and cannot stand in the hall for a long time. Since everyone has come, the ministers will go outside for questioning."

He was always like this, Qin Ruoqian was not curious, Wei Yun couldn't hold back his smile, go outside to ask questions in such a heavy rain, you go by yourself, I won't go.

He stood still, Zhang Zheng raised his foot, and when he walked to the gate of the palace, he saw him not moving, and said in a cold tone, "Your Majesty of Dali Temple doesn't ask questions?"

Only then did Wei Yun reluctantly follow him.

Qin Ruoqian's gaze moved with their footsteps. Zhang Zheng looked like Zhang Tang, a cruel official in the Han Dynasty, but he was so upright and upright.

Wang Guifei saw that her gaze was moving away, she really didn't understand, so she asked her: "What did you mean just now?"

"Zhang Zheng judges the case like himself, and Wei Yun is a cruel judge. The two of them are together. There is a great possibility that this case will be solved." Qin Ruoqian said solemnly, "What I want is that this case will not go to trial, and everyone will be able to solve the case." His Majesty has suspicions in his heart."

The emperor is suspicious. In this way, almost all the princes will be terrified, so she has a chance.

Wei Yun was not convinced, and he would definitely trip Zhang Zheng, and the trial of the case would be much more difficult.

After all, the emperor blamed his boss, Zhang Zheng, and Wei Yun was less guilty. It is very likely that Zhang Zheng's official will be slapped at that time, which is exactly what he wants.

Concubine Wang didn't know what she meant, everyone would be suspicious at that time, and it would be bad for Qin Chengzong, "I don't think it's right, you should clear your brother's suspicion first."

Qin Ruoqian sneered: "Do you think it's clear? How many times has he tripped up the prince, and the two of them are fighting, do you think the majesty can't see it?"

"This, I..." Wang Guifei faltered and sighed deeply, the prince was poisoned.She was very happy to die, but she happened to die at the palace banquet, which made her doubts completely cleared.

She was annoyed that she was in charge of the power of the harem. Others didn't have to worry about anything, but she was walking on eggshells.

She still didn't understand Qin Ruoqian's explanation. She wanted to ask clearly, but Qin Ruoqian got up and left without giving her a chance to ask again.

In the evening, the emperor went to the East Palace and left after standing for a while.

The coldness of father and son is chilling.

When the rain fell at night, it fell harder, and the torrential rain fell like pearls and jade.

Lu Sixian was lying under the window, wrapped in a blanket, and in the distance, he saw a person in a moon-white dress approaching, half of his body was wet, and he walked hurriedly.

After a while, the door of the temple opened and a figure entered.

Qin Ruoqian's body was completely soaked, from the autumn rain to the cold, the palace servants prepared clean clothes and waited for her to change through the screen.

Looking at the figure behind the screen, Lu Sixian blinked, not knowing what words to use to describe it, after a few more glances, Qin Ruoqian turned around and came out, catching her squarely.

She giggled, "Where did you go?"

Looking at her squinting eyes, Qin Ruoqian walked over a few steps and grabbed her ear: "Take it if you want, what are you doing secretly?"

"Well, I didn't see it..." Lu Sixian felt aggrieved, as if she didn't see anything, what a shame.

Qin Ruoqian's eyes flashed with hot light, and he wasn't angry. He just found it unbelievable that a miser would also become lustful, "Have you ever seen a thief admit that he stole something?"

"I don't think so." Lu Sixian said with a smile, and pushed her hand away vigorously, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

Did she just peek?

When she raised her eyes, Qin Ruoqian's apricot red dress came into view, and she looked really pretty.

Perhaps because of his temperament, Qin Ruoqian is suitable for bright eyes, and can stand up to heavy makeup, while plain makeup is more indifferent and peaceful.

She turned her head for no reason and looked at the rain curtain outside.

Qin Ruoqian didn't know her mood change, leaned over and sat down on one side, thinking about the business, so she stopped teasing her, and talked about Zhang Zheng seriously.

As for the supporting role of Zhang Zheng, Lu Sixian was compared to Bao Qingtian at the beginning, but it seems that he was killed by the Ninth Prince in the end, which is quite a pity.

Zhang Zheng has a good ability to solve cases. He is a detective type of person. He has a stubborn mind and doesn't know how to adapt. When the Ninth Prince's olive branch was thrown over him, he kicked it away.

She thought about it, pretended to think hard, and then replied: "Zhang is just as his name suggests, he is upright, he is a clean guy, you don't need to solicit, just behave properly."

There is no need to solicit, he doesn't need to listen to you at all.

Qin Ruoqian leaned sideways on the case table on the soft couch, recalled what happened today, and felt that these words were good, "If the empress did it, this case cannot be closed, and everyone will be involved."

"Involved?" Lu Sixian didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, as far as Zhang Zheng's virtue, how could he not be found out, unless he was not allowed to take over.

Lu Sixian's eyes were so clear that he couldn't understand Qin Ruoqian's thoughts.

It was because she was too pure and didn't want to harm others, but Qin Ruo was so shallow that she couldn't speak.

The noise of the rain made her unable to calm down. Facing Lu Sixian, she suddenly felt guilty and didn't know how to face it.

Just like white and black, she stands in the darkness, and a white person cannot feel the pain of the darkness. She comes from the darkness, so she is destined not to be as white as a lotus.

Zhang Zheng is stubborn, but based on what he has done today, it is still difficult to let this matter go.

She stood up, went to the table to get tea, and took it out again, feeling a heavy weight, "I want Zhang Zheng to stop, if the murderer cannot be found out, all the princes will be suspected by the Holy Majesty, so my chances of winning will be greater."

"Oh, it's not difficult. The water transport silk boat capsized, you can ask him to investigate, otherwise it's fine." Lu Sixian said lightly, Qin Ruoqian was embarrassed.

The back of Qin Ruoqian drinking tea was stained a bit by the bleakness of the autumn rain, and she understood something in a trance. When she saw her holding her teacup in her hand and drinking again and again, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm not a devil, nor an angel, just A person who knows good and bad. I am too lazy to do the way of a gentleman. A villain is treacherous and has no ability to do it. But I will not deal with a gentleman with a villain's method, nor will I repay a villain with a gentleman's method."

The devil is evil, the angel is good, and she is the most mediocre kind, doing nothing in between.

The herbal tea tasted cold to the bone, Qin Ruoqian tasted some taste from her words, and smiled sarcastically: "Am I a gentleman or a villain?"

"You say you are a gentleman, and I can't help it. If you say you are a villain, that's what you said yourself. You put your tongue in your mouth anyway. Anyway, the behavior of the flower picker you did here, as I said before, will You don't have to have too many burdens to help you become an empress, but as for me, I'm not a good person."

Lu Sixian really didn't have too many burdens. After all, in this dynasty, although there was a legal system, the imperial power was on top of his head, so he couldn't use common sense to decide things.

Qin Ruoqian held the herbal tea and fell silent.

Lu Sixian saw that she drank his own tea without knowing it, mourned in silence, and couldn't help but say a few more words: "There was once a place where there was no emperor, democracy was paramount, and everyone was equal. There were few crimes, monogamy, and equality between men and women. , suitable for people like you to live in."

In other words, if there is no sad ending, she would still like it here, after all, there is such a beautiful woman who is devoted to her.

"Where did you say it was?" Qin Ruoqian came back to his senses, and the haze on his brow dissipated a bit.

Lu Sixian sighed deeply: "I can't go back, and you can't see it either. But you told Zhang Zheng to stop and went to promote Wei Yun. She is also very greedy for money. Oh, by the way, do you think she is beautiful?"

Speaking of Wei Yun's appearance, Qin Ruoqian's eyes flashed with surprise, Wei Yun's appearance was too feminine, and seeing Lu Sixian's unusual smile, he was shocked and said, "She is also a woman just like you?"

Lu Sixian pretended to be teachable, and said in a deep voice: "She belongs to the Eighth Prince, or she used the Eighth Prince to climb to the position of Minister of Dali Temple step by step. She bears blood and blood, and the Eighth Prince avenged her. Punish the wicked, so she works for others. She seems to be smooth, but she will not turn back easily."

Qin Ruoqian was surprised, "How do you know so much?"

"I have a nickname, pinching fingers is a magic trick." Lu Sixian's slender fingers moved, causing Qin Ruoqian, who was opposite him, to raise his eyebrows, and immediately strode over, squeezed the 'finger pinching' hand, and quickly pressed him down on the couch Up: "Then pinch your fingers and do the math again, will you commit yourself to me today?"

"This, this really can't be counted..." Lu Sixian was so surprised that he couldn't speak clearly, and almost stuttered.

Things happened too fast, and what was said in the first breath was serious, and then suddenly it was not serious.

Qin Ruoqian smiled lightly, Lu Sixian was like a vortex with secrets, knowing that the danger was great, she still jumped into it recklessly.

There is no room and no turning back.

She is also willing.

"I think it can be calculated." Qin Ruoqian's eyebrows moved slightly, and the fingertips slowly slid down from her slender eyebrows, touching the tip of her nose, rubbing the corners of her lips, pinching the jade neck, skipping the mountain peaks, He lingered for a while, and finally landed on the soft waist.

Lu Sixian didn't move, and instead stared blankly: "Has Her Royal Highness Princess Zhen Guo played with many women?"

Qin Ruoqian's expression remained unchanged, her eyebrows and eyes remained the same, as if I was very serious and I had never played with women before, "Many women undressed and seduced me in front of me, but I didn't even look at them."

"I believe you are a ghost." Lu Sixian was furious, "Am I still, still, you go away."

Qin Ruoqian didn't move, felt her anger, and proudly said, "I don't know how to get out, why don't you try to get out again?"

Lu Sixian didn't listen to her, and deliberately looked outside the hall. Qin Ruoqian was keen, and followed her gaze.

When she was distracted, Lu Sixian quickly squeezed her chin, "You have the ability to undress in front of me, I will not take my eyes off it, concentrate on it, and have nothing to do with it."

Feeling her strength, Qin Ruoqian gently pinched her hand, touched it to his mouth, and licked it with the tip of his tongue, "Why don't you take it off for me first?"

"No, I won't take it off, it was you who took the initiative." Lu Sixian refused coldly.
