ma'am, calm down

Ye Lin heard that Shisan was taken to the palace by the emperor for dinner, so he hurried back to Mu Guofu and reported the matter to the old lady.The old lady screamed in her heart that something was wrong, her grandson was not at home now, and Mei Yu had a strong temper.If Mei Yu offends the emperor by accident, Mei Yu has something wrong, she really doesn't know how to explain it to Ye Peiqing.

The old lady waited anxiously, the sky was already as dark as splashed ink, and it was almost the second watch and Shisan did not come back.The old lady thought that she couldn't wait any longer, so she ordered Ye Lin to go to the Ninth Prince's residence and tell them about it.The Ninth Prince and Concubine were about to go to bed, and when they heard that Mei Yu had been taken to the palace by the emperor and hadn't returned, they woke up one by one.They still don't know the temper of their emperor?If you really like a person, you have to find a way to get it.

The Ninth Prince discussed with the princess for a while, planning to go into the palace overnight to investigate the situation.The princes all had the Queen Mother's letter, and they could enter and leave the palace at night, so the Ninth Prince rushed straight to Yuhua Palace, the emperor's bedroom, to see if the emperor was there.

When the emperor's personal eunuch Qing Xiang heard that the Ninth Prince was running out of breath, he quickly greeted him into the side hall and said, "Why did the Ninth Prince come all night? The Emperor is about to go to bed."

Ninth Prince anxiously asked: "Sleep alone, or is someone waiting for you?"

Qingxiang said with a smile: "We slaves, how dare we talk about our master's affairs? How come the Ninth Prince cares about the emperor's sexual affairs?"

The Ninth Prince said: "I'm an old man, how dare I take care of the emperor's sexual affairs. It's just that Mei Yu, who is with the emperor for dinner tonight, do you know where he is now?"

Just as Qingxiang was about to speak, a young eunuch said, "The emperor said he heard a voice and asked his father-in-law who is here."

Qingxiang hurried away, leaving the Ninth Prince circling around like ants on a hot pot, chanting angrily "I will be away, don't mess with other people's wives".

After a while Qingxiang came back and said with a smile: "The emperor said that if he doesn't want to clarify the matter, I'm afraid the Ninth Prince will not be able to sleep well tonight, so ask the Ninth Prince to come over and talk."

The Ninth Prince straightened his clothes and hurried over.

The emperor was getting dressed, the Ninth Prince looked down, smiled carefully and said, "How is your majesty tonight?"

The emperor said, "What's the matter? Just about to go to sleep, you came here to disturb me. There is no need to talk nonsense. Mei Yu is not here. I let him go back just now."

The Ninth Prince was overjoyed and shouted repeatedly: "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor said angrily: "I really thought that I was a sage, so I wouldn't come to my bedroom to ask for someone in the middle of the night. They all thought that I was so stupid that I would force myself to do so. Get out."

With a smile on his face, the Ninth Prince hurriedly apologized.

As soon as they arrived at Mu Guo Mansion, the old lady's yard was brightly lit, and Mei Yu had indeed returned.The Ninth Prince and the old lady stared at him together and asked, "What did the Emperor do with you just now?"

Thirteen didn't understand what happened, so he said: "The emperor and I were talking and laughing while eating, and they talked about Pei Qing's affairs. Then the emperor called me back."

Things are naturally not that simple, and there is one more thing he didn't say.After the meal, the emperor asked him to show him how to dance the sword. Thirteen was displeased, so he knelt down and said, "My minister's sword dance is not good-looking. I'm afraid it will stain the eyes of the emperor. I beg the emperor to forgive me." The emperor laughed and said: "It's just for fun, it doesn't matter if it looks good or bad, and I won't blame you." Thirteen felt that this was a bit disgusting, so he lowered his head and said, "The general is going out to serve the country. It's not dignified for a humble minister to dance a sword for the emperor to watch. Please think twice, Your Majesty, don't let the general feel cold." His words made the Emperor lose face a bit, he wanted to get angry but didn't take it for granted, he finally held back his anger and told him to leave.

This paragraph made him feel awkward, so he didn't tell the old lady and Ninth Prince.

The old lady instructed: "If the emperor invites you into the palace again in the future, please send someone to tell me and the Ninth Prince immediately."

Thirteen thought to himself: If the emperor invites him into the palace again, he will have an accident in the carriage, break his leg for several months, and pretend to be sick to disappear.

The Ninth Prince also said: "Pei Qing is away on an expedition, so he must concentrate on dealing with the enemy. Don't let him know about this."

Thirteen agreed one by one.

I thought the emperor was narrow-minded and would come to find fault after being rejected, so Shisan was very vigilant for several days in a row.Unexpectedly, once this incident was over, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about it, and never appeared in front of Shisan again.

So Shisan also gradually forgot about this matter and concentrated on investigating the case.

This case was enough to make him nervous.

Since Yang Yun asked everyone to broaden their minds, everyone has their own ideas about this case.Yang Yun added: "Now that we have a general direction, we have to go to the Jin Palace to collect evidence again. Don't give up any details, every little thing may become the key to solving the case."

Twenty people came to Prince Jin's mansion and interrogated them carefully to find out the ins and outs of the matter.At the banquet, everyone was drinking and drinking happily, but Jin Wang accidentally broke the wine glass "Yatzhu".He was furious and wanted to beat and scold the maid on the spot to vent his anger. In order to smooth things over, the princess ordered someone to replace the wine glass with "blue ice".There was a lot of movement in this paragraph, everyone remembered it clearly, and felt that King Jin's temper was really grumpy.At this time, King Jin's wine was finished, and the maid brought another pot, so Wang Huan drank some wine to test the poison for King Jin.After that, he was called out, saying that there was something urgent, and he did not come back until King Jin died.

According to these circumstances, if Wang Huan is the murderer, then he did not poison after the maid brought the wine.If Wang Huan is not the murderer, then there is no poison in the wine.

Yang Yun asked, "If Wang Huan wasn't the murderer, how did the poison get in?"

Shisan was dumbfounded: So Ye Peiqing poisoned the wine glass.

At this time, several people thought of it and said anxiously: "Could it be poison in the wine glass?"

Li Pin said: "The murderer saw that King Jin smashed the 'Jade Bamboo', and the princess ordered people to exchange it for 'Blue Ice', so he quickly poisoned the 'Blue Ice'."

Yang Yun said with a smile: "If Wang Huan is not the murderer, then what Mr. Li said is very possible."

One person said: "'Polygonatum' is a common item used by King Jin to drink. It is invaluable. It is usually locked in King Jin's room and kept in a safe place. It is not easy to get it. 'Blue Ice' is the dowry of the princess. It looks good, the princess will put it in King Jin's study."

Li Pin said: "The murderer must not have known in advance that King Jin would smash the 'Yatzhu', so this incident was an accident. After the princess ordered someone to fetch the 'Blue Ice', the two maids ran away quickly.If the murderer wants to poison, he must know where the 'blue ice' is stored, and poison the 'blue ice' before the maid arrives. "

Everyone fell into silence.It's a bit difficult...

Yang Yun frowned and said, "What if the murderer knows that King Jin will smash 'Polygonatum'?"

Thirteen looked at him silently: how do you know?Prophet?Ye Peiqing from his family doesn't have that much ability.

Thirteen whispered, "It's also possible that those who poisoned were the two maids who went to Gou Lanbing."

Yang Yun said with a smile: "I'm just talking casually, and you are definitely not convinced. How about this, why don't we investigate the case separately. Some people will investigate the two maids, some will continue to investigate Wang Huan, and the rest will investigate with me. guests."

Li Pin whispered to Shisan: "This case is too strange. It seems that neither direction is right, and people have no choice. Who do you want to investigate now?"

Thirteen thought: He naturally wants to follow Yang Yun.Ye Peiqing probably didn't expect the appearance of Yang Yun, otherwise, relying on the mediocre officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, this case should have been over by now.He said, "Let's learn something from Master Yang."

So Shisan and Li Pin said: "I would like to follow my lord to investigate the guests present."

Yang Yun led them and asked about the guests coming and going in the Jin Palace every day, like looking for a needle in a haystack.He is not irritable, and has a very good temper, smiling all day long.

After many days, the servants in Prince Jin's mansion could not remember clearly what happened at the banquet, but one servant remembered that when he passed by King Jin's study, there was a sound from there.

The young man said: "I didn't care at the time, I thought someone was cleaning it. When I walked away and looked back, it seemed that there was a young master in a flash."

Thirteen: "... Read that right? What clothes do you wear? What do you look like?"

The boy said, "I just remember being tall and pretty, but I didn't see clearly. Is the clothes blue...or purple? No... blue? The lights were a bit dim at the time, so I can't tell."

Ye Peiqing wore a set of blue clothes that day.

This guy was probably talking about him.

If Yang Yun hears this, it will be terrible. I'm afraid he can follow the clues and find out more cases.

Fortunately, this boy was interrogated by Thirteen alone.

Thirteen hurriedly said: "I didn't see the appearance clearly, and I couldn't remember the color of the clothes. You are fooling me! Tell me, did you see anyone at the time? When you go to the court to testify, if you don't speak clearly, It's going to be boarded!"

Is it okay to be boarded?When the servant heard that he was scared, he immediately covered his head with a smile and said, "My lord, please forgive me, I can't remember clearly. I didn't see anything at the time, and I forgot everything. My lord, please don't ask me to testify!"

Thirteen then gave some gentle instructions and left.

After a few more days, everything that could be investigated was almost exhausted, and Yang Yun finally gathered everyone together: "After careful investigation these days, it is guessed that Wang Huan may have died after the death of King Jin. If Wang Huan It was killed by one of the guests, so after the death of King Jin, the murderer must have disappeared from the banquet for a while. This period of time was very chaotic, everyone go home and think about it, who is missing?"

Li Pin said: "The murderer can also let his servants deal with Wang Huan, and he doesn't have to do it himself."

Yang Yun said: "That's right, we need to investigate this too. We can't leave any clues behind."

A small official showed a strange look, but lowered his head and remained silent.

Yang Yun asked sensitively: "What's the matter? What did you remember?"

The man looked at Thirteen, but still didn't speak.

Yang Yun said to everyone: "You go down first, I will talk to him alone."

After saluting, everyone filed down. When Shisan walked out the door, he stared closely at the little official's lips.Their voices were too small for him to hear, but he could see them clearly.The junior official said: "After King Jin died, Mei Pingshi and General Ye disappeared for about half an hour. The two of them sat at the same table and disappeared, which made them especially conspicuous."

Thirteen thought: During that half hour, I was thinking about Ji's affairs.Ye Peiqing should have killed Wang Huan before King Jin died. What did he do during that time?

He walked out with his head bowed, and he calmed down after a gust of cold wind blew.

Ye Peiqing went to war, so he had to think about how to deal with the aftermath.
