Chapter 112 Uncle and Aunt

Zongzheng first reported: "The Zongzheng Mansion received reports from Jing Zhaoyin about the King today. One said that the King set up a stage to sing in the mansion, and the other revealed that a murder occurred in the Mansion. The dead body was hidden in the palace. In the garden. After the Zongzheng Mansion arrived at the Great King’s Mansion, after some investigation and excavation, they discovered something unexpected..."

"The witnesses and evidences are all here, please have a look." Zongzheng presented the witchcraft dolls dug out from the palace of the great prince, including the box, in front of Lu Meng.

As soon as Lu Meng saw the words "Prince Lu Wen" pasted on the doll covered with silver needles, he felt chills all over his body, grinding his teeth, and the words of the national teacher before echoed in his mind.

"The word curse should refer to the fact that the prince was deprived of his lifespan by means of witchcraft, so he was short-lived as a young man..."

Thinking about it carefully, the mansion he bestowed on Lu Hong seems to be just to the northwest of the imperial palace...

Those who dare to curse the crown prince, the next step is to do it to themselves?

He narrowed his eyes dangerously, but didn't say anything.

Lu Hong came back to his senses, he couldn't quibble about the things dug out from his mansion under the eyes of everyone, but he never admitted that this thing belonged to him, and hurriedly denied it: "Father, my son is wronged! My son doesn't have such a thing !” Said that he wanted to hug Lu Meng’s leg.

Lu Meng kicked him away and scolded, "Go aside."

Lv Hong was terrified when he heard the news, burst into tears, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and wailed: "This is very strange, how dare I curse the prince behind my back! Father, please be careful and return my innocence!"

Lu Meng paced back and forth, pondering over this matter. He couldn't come to a conclusion without thoroughly clarifying the cause and process, so he asked Jing Zhaoyin, "Who is the king who brought the investigation to Jing Zhao Mansion? Are the two matters the same?" One-shot observer?"

Jing Zhaoyin came out in response, and replied respectfully: "My lord, the two matters were not investigated by one person. The matter of singing was raised by a passerby who passed by the king's mansion all the way. That person was just outside the wall of the king's courtyard. , Hearing the sound of opera singers in the house, knowing that the prince's sacrifice period has not yet passed, he found Jing Zhaoyin in a moment of anger. He didn't know that the owner who lived in the house was the king. And there was a reason for the murder ..."

Jing Zhaoyin glanced at it, and the weeping king asked, "Did your king forcefully snatch a civilian girl back to the mansion a few days ago?"

Lv Hong was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Jing Zhaoyin would bring this up suddenly, hesitating whether to say this is an insignificant matter or not.

Leng Buding raised his head and met his father's piercing eyes. He panicked and admitted: "Yes..." Suddenly understanding what Jing Zhaoyin meant, he shook his head so much that he almost fell off, and said, "But my son didn't Kill her!"

"That's right." Jing Zhaoyin said: "Regardless of whether the civilian girl survived or not, her father heard from somewhere that she was tortured to death by the king in the palace and buried in the courtyard. When I went to Jingzhao Yin, I raised an official and wanted to sue the king."

Lu Meng stared at the face of his concubine, and recalled his usual deeds of being repeatedly recited by the censor, bullying men and women in the fief, and doing all kinds of evil deeds. He didn't expect that he was just allowed to stay in the capital for a few days. This happened again.

Immediately, he slapped the concubine backhandedly, and he asked, "Lu Hong, I ask you, did you really do these two things?"

Lu Hong denied it flatly: "I didn't kill that woman! I didn't! She's still in the palace!"

What Lu Meng cared about was not whether he murdered the Minnv, but the witchcraft incidents involved in the matter of the Minnv.

It may be a coincidence that these two things can come together, but no matter what it is, it is enough to arouse his anger.The former violated his will, and the latter instigated witchcraft to kill his brother and father, even more with ulterior motives.

Lu Hong was wandering on the edge of the abyss of eternal doom.

Lu Meng's face was cold, and he said inexplicably, "Don't think I don't know, it's my misfortune that the prince's death is short-lived, but it's your great fortune."

Before Lu Hong heard what he was saying clearly, he ordered: "Take the king into the Zongzheng mansion, and deal with it after the truth is found out."

"Father! Father! My son and minister have been wronged!" Lu Hong was dragged away by the soldiers while screaming for injustice.

Lu Meng then ordered the Zongzheng Mansion to cooperate with the Ministry of Criminal Justice to deal with this matter, and must investigate to find out the truth.If it is really a disaster caused by the king, and if you find evidence, you will immediately report to him, and he will deal with the unworthy son himself.

After the officials from the Zongzheng Mansion and Jing Zhaoyin left, Lu Meng took a sip of cold tea, served with the elixir, and said again: "Come here, call the national teacher."

Shu Dianhe was doing official business in the Ministry of Rites, and when he heard that Xuancheng had entered the palace again, he put down his brush, lowered his eyes to think for a while, handed over the matter at hand to his subordinates, and went to the palace as well.

When she arrived, Lu Meng was not in the imperial study, and Xuancheng was teaching the little emperor's grandson to draw tigers.

Her footsteps were slow, and she came and went quietly. It was the little Huangsun who accidentally raised his head to spot someone, and shouted: "Uncle!"

Xuancheng then raised his head, his eyes were filled with that person's figure, as if he had his own radiance, hindering the little emperor's grandson from being here, he dared not be too presumptuous, but he still couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth from curling up and his dimples were shallow.

Shu Dian closed his eyes and bowed: "Your Highness." I don't know which Highness she is respecting, maybe there are both.

Little Huangsun looked at Xuancheng, then at his uncle, and nodded sensiblely.The etiquette he had received since he was a child made him unable to express joy unscrupulously like ordinary children.

Xuancheng asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Come and pick up the princess home." Shu Dian agreed, this made the smile on Xuancheng's face more intense, and it was so sweet to the bottom of his heart.

"Lingjun doesn't want my aunt to leave the palace so early." Little Huangsun clutched Xuancheng's sleeve, reluctant to let the two leave, pouted and said coquettishly.

In his heart, uncle and aunt are the people who treat him and his sister the best besides his father, queen, mother and concubine.Although the emperor is good, he is usually fierce to them.Now that the father and mother are gone, the people they can rely on the most are their uncles and aunts. They can't wait to let them enter the palace to accompany him every day.

Shu Dianhe didn't say he wanted to leave immediately, he sat on the ground with them, touched the emperor's head, and asked, "Where's Yi'an?"

In the eyes of the palace people in the distance, the princess son-in-law and the little emperor's grandson sitting like this really look like a harmonious family of three.

"Imperial sister doesn't like reading, that's why she won't come to the imperial study. Now she should play with the nuns and maids in the harem." The little emperor's grandson replied.

An eight-year-old child has undergone tremendous changes. Both his parents have passed away, leaving only himself and his younger sister helpless in this deep palace.Ling Shu Dianhe was half out of distress, and half out of pity for their fate.

Xuancheng listened to this, and thought about it carefully, why did he feel a bit like his brother Huang when he was a child, one studied hard and learned the way of a gentleman, and the other was ignorant and knew how to play all day long.

Shu Dianhe noticed that her mood suddenly sank, reached out and walked around the little Huangsun's back, and quietly held her hand.

Xuancheng raised his head to meet her gentle gaze, the lost warmth seemed to have returned.

The shadow on the sundial turned to noon, and the bell from the bell tower resounded throughout the palace. Lu Meng hadn't come back yet, and the emperor and grandson were accompanied by their uncles and aunts after eating snacks, and then were sent to have a nap by the mother.

Shu Dianhe and Xuan Cheng met Lu Zhi, the eighth king who was riding on the road, on the road to the palace.

Lu Zhi saw the two of them from afar, and wanted to turn the palace man who was carrying him around, pretending to miss it, but suddenly had an idea, stopped this idea, and let the two of them meet face to face.

When he was in front of Xuancheng and Shu Dianhe, he immediately stopped shouting, walked up and down, his expression was a little stiff, but he pretended to be familiar, and said: "Sister, brother-in-law is also coming into the palace today?"

Shu Dianhe let go of Xuancheng's hand, saluted first, looked at Xuancheng, and Xuancheng replied: "Xuancheng came to the palace to see his father."

Lu Zhi nodded his head in understanding, and then he didn't know what to say, holding his nails in his sleeves.

Xuancheng felt a little embarrassed seeing him, knowing that this elder brother was shy, and he rarely met him on weekdays, and hardly talked to him.Today, she would take the initiative to talk to her and call her a younger sister. She must have some intentions. In order to maintain the superficial feelings, she moved the corners of her eyes and asked, "Brother Huang, what is the purpose of entering the palace this time?" Why?"

Lu Zhi seemed to have caught hold of the savior, and replied stupidly: "This king is here to see the concubine mother." His eyes fell on the hands of the two holding each other, and he sighed inexplicably: "The relationship between brother-in-law and imperial sister Really good."

What he said was dead words, making it impossible for people to answer, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Lu Zhi came to his senses later, he froze the occasion, the polite words got stuck in his throat, and he was having difficulty up and down. Suddenly his purpose came and he asked, "Sister, you should have received those gifts from me, right?" ? Can you have a good heart?"

Shu Dianhe told Xuancheng about the gifts from the kings, Xuancheng didn't show joy or annoyance on his face, but thanked him in a flat tone: "I have received it, thank you for your kindness."

"That's good, that's good..." Lu Zhi couldn't find the right words to say that he was going to leave, so he had nothing to say, and continued to chat with Xuancheng for a few words.

Shu Dianhe saw that Xuancheng's cheeks were slightly red from the sun, and he didn't want to be delayed for a long time, so he asked: "If the eight kings have nothing to do, the minister and the princess will leave first." The two should have been like Lu Zhi They were also driven out of the palace, but Xuancheng had to say that he wanted to go for a walk with her before letting Lu Zhi meet them both on the palace road.

Lu Zhi was relieved of his embarrassment, he glanced at Shu Dianhe gratefully, bid farewell to them, and drove away again.

After Lu Zhi and his men left, Xuancheng mocked and sarcastically said: "When the emperor was here, I never saw them being so affectionate to me. Once the emperor left, they salivated." , came up to flatter Bengong, and kept talking about one sister after another, and the voice was sweet. If you really treat Bengong as a fool, don't you know that they have evil intentions?"

The author has something to say: ask yourself, is Xuancheng really suitable to be an emperor?
