"My lord is fine, it's just that the assassin is extremely skilled, so he broke through and escaped." Seeing the emperor's anxiety, the commander had a slight suspicion in his eyes.Say it again. "The noble concubine died unfortunately."

Rong Zhuo hummed, as if he was relieved.While frowning and thinking, but no sadness; "Where is the person now?"

"It has been handed over to Dali Temple for disposal." The leader said, but was startled by the sudden anger in the emperor's eyes, and hurriedly said again. "It's what the prince meant."

"For such a big matter, Dali Temple should always ask." Rong Zhuo's expression slowly calmed down.Said lightly. "It's the one from Dali Temple who took over and asked him to come see me."

A sentence changed from handling to asking, and the leader thought about the meaning in it, and always wanted to excuse it.It's just that this matter is too strange.While thinking secretly in his heart, Nuonuo agreed.

"People are allowed to come and go in the backyard of the palace, and you are also responsible for negligence." The emperor frowned, paused, and said slowly: "If you have something to do in the future, report it to me first."

Hearing this, the commander quickly pleaded guilty, preparing for the emperor's thunderous wrath.Don't want to wait for a while in silence.look up.The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "Go."

When the commander went out, Rong Zhuo grabbed Xiao Ruan who was stunned by the side, and was furious: "You told me that the emperor fell asleep? Why did he leave the Baize Courtyard? Why did he go to the Pixiang Hall in the middle of the night?"

"Your Majesty." Xiao Ruan hurriedly knelt down, not daring to hide any more, and told how he communicated with each other.

The emperor looked ferocious, but he knew that getting angry at this time would not help.He just held on to Xiao Ruan.

"Behind the three nobles are important courtiers. The emperor can't offend them all." Xiao Ruan didn't dare to break free.Just kowtowed. "If the imperial concubine is willing to tell the truth to the prince, she can share the emperor's worries."

"So you let him go to Pixiang Palace, and you still lied to me?" Rong Zhuo threw him away, Xiao Ruan got up and still knelt down, daring not to answer.

"Get up." The emperor stood in a daze for a while, his expression gradually calmed down, and he said suddenly. "You don't have to interfere with my affairs in the future. I can't tolerate being controlled by others. Those old ministers rely on their merits and bully me when I am young. They never take my words seriously. Sooner or later, I will eliminate them one by one. Big, what kind of talent do I want to use?"

These few words were spoken calmly, but they seemed even more austere.But it was what the emperor really thought.

Xiao Ruan heard it in her ears, this is exactly the principle of the emperor and the courtiers, secretly startled, not knowing how to reply.

Rong Zhuo ignored him, his expression calm and calm: "I'm going to Dali Temple, you come with me."

Xiao Ruan originally wanted to persuade the emperor that there was something wrong with him personally, but seeing the emperor's face clearly, he shut up wisely and got up to call someone to prepare, and took a robe for the emperor to put on.Seeing the emperor's peaceful eyes, he couldn't help but whispered: "Has the emperor... really suspected the prince?"

Before the words came out, I already knew it was not appropriate to ask, so I couldn't help but panic.Rong Zhuo glanced at him, rarely getting angry.Sighing slightly, he said lightly, "Uncle Huang is different."

Xiao Ruan didn't dare to ask what was different.

The general of Dali Temple 'please' go back and ask questions.The etiquette is still sufficient, and I found a room in the back hall to house Rong Xuan. Although it is a bit simple, it is complete with tables, chairs, beds and quilts.This is considered to be able to escape from the palace, Rong Xuan voluntarily followed and was not dissatisfied with this.

It's just that before we had time to ask, the emperor came in person, and he came so quickly, which was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

"Little uncle." No matter how calm and composed the emperor was, when he saw him, he couldn't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed.Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the idea of ​​rushing forward to see what happened.said softly. "Let the doctor take a look first."

It was only then that Rong Xuan noticed that Lu Jing was following behind him.After thinking about it, I didn't refuse.

Lu Jing was brought here by the emperor, but the reason is unknown.Although there was doubt in his expression, he knew it was not the time to ask.Silently consulted, resigned and left.

"Little uncle." The emperor saw that there was no one else around him.Finally unable to restrain himself, he stepped forward and pulled Rong Xuan, and looked up and down carefully, and there was indeed no injury.Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.But seeing that Rong Xuan's face was a little pale, he couldn't help worrying.He kept asking if there was any discomfort there.

The emperor's worry was sincerely expressed, Rong Xuan was slightly taken aback, he had gone through tonight's accident, and he really didn't want to think about other things.But being held by the emperor was still a little uncomfortable, and he broke free: "I'm fine."

Rong Zhuo knew whether it was because he didn't want to be touched by him and didn't dare to do it again, or because Rong Xuan handed over the letter and told the truth in a low voice.When it came to business, he let go of many worries for a while and was able to get along with him calmly.

After hearing this, Rong Zhuo frowned slightly: "How does my little uncle know that Kung Chia is not the real murderer." When it comes to Kung Chia, he is naturally jealous and hateful, but knowing that this is not the time to care about it, his tone can be considered balanced.

"If Kung Chiu made a move, that knife would be enough to split the person in two. And even though the man used a knife, his moves were too delicate and nimble, which is not the same as him. The injury on his back was already fatal, and the murderer even cut his throat , should be silenced."

"Of course the knife wound can be faked." The emperor disagreed.

"Although Yan Yuan held on to him, he didn't look like he hated him." Rong Xuan shook his head.

When Rong Zhuo heard that he was still called Yan Yuan, his eyebrows twitched slightly.At that time, Kejia broke out from the siege, so the guards regarded him as the murderer.As for Rong Xuan, it can be said that they met by chance, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Just like this, Dali Temple can't keep you here."

"Yan Yuan seemed to be a little frightened, and kept holding me and refused to let go, just for fear of making people a little suspicious." Rong Xuan smiled bitterly, and he naturally only said that he happened to be passing by Pixiang Palace and encountered this incident, skipping the previous Not to mention all kinds.But it is unreasonable for the two of them to dress up as maids and go to the secluded Pixiang Palace in the dead of night.Meeting an assassin, just letting him meet, and Yan Yuan holding him back, is always extremely strange.If it were someone else, he would be suspicious too.

But the real situation cannot be told to others.On the contrary, he was a little worried that Yan Yuan didn't understand the strength of it, so he said it for a while.So he said: "Yan Yuan should have seen the real murderer, the emperor asked her privately."

"She was so frightened that she seemed to be speechless for a moment." Rong Zhuo said, understanding what he meant.Ke Jian is not the murderer, if Prince Li Yuan is involved in this matter, I'm afraid it will be more complicated. "I'll take her back to the palace for treatment later."

Rong Xuan recalled that Yan Yuan did not say a single word afterwards.Presumably, she had never seen such a scene, and she gradually felt sympathy.But he wondered: "I can't say it, but she can still write it."

"She was frightened too much, the little emperor's eyes flickered, and he pointed to his head." Some things were unclear. "

"Alright." Rong Xuan thought about it and said in a low voice.

At that moment, the two had a detailed discussion, but they hadn't spoken so calmly for a long time.

It is not uncommon for a person to die in the palace, but the one who died was a noble concubine, the biological mother of the only prince, but it was unusual.Moreover, the location and scene at that time could not help but make people suspicious.

Rong Xuan thought, even if there is no evidence, but there were many rumors before, this matter will only be different opinions, and I am mixed in it, it is difficult to wash it off completely.However, telling the truth does not know how much disturbance will be caused in the court.

After thinking about it, he smiled at Rong Zhuo and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to make things difficult. If there is really no other way, I did it. If the Emperor shows grace, he will be reduced to a commoner and exiled to other places."

"What nonsense." Rong Zhuo's face changed, and he was shocked to find that his tone was sharp, and then slowed down: "You are not allowed to go."

"Rather than allow others to suspect wildly, I would like to have a real crime." He has thought it through so far, and his tone is indifferent. "The minister is really tired."

"You're talking nonsense." Rong Zhuo looked stubborn. "You're talking nonsense, don't go."

Continuing to argue with him will only lead to a stalemate again.Rong Xuan said indifferently: "The emperor is talking nonsense as a minister."

Rong Zhuo was startled, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Don't worry."

The two quietly listened to more drums.It was Rong Xuan who spoke first: "Your Majesty, please come back. You won't be able to rest for long, and it's time to go to court again."

"I'm leaving." Rong Zhuo stood up and said in a low voice, "You should also rest more."

This situation has happened before, but the state of mind is different from one moment to another, which makes people feel awkward and melancholy.

Rong Xuan stopped talking, the emperor stood for a while, then said again slowly: "Don't worry." He turned around and left.

This is a big matter, Xie Kuang, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, personally intervened.Although Yan Yuan was an important witness, the emperor said that she was insane and wanted to bring her back.With the imperial physician at his side, Xie Kuang couldn't refute.

"Dali Temple thoroughly investigates this matter, and it is right for my uncle to ask questions. It's just that people in the palace let people come and go freely, and I don't have anything to do with it, so there is no need to spread it. It is shocking." Xie Kuang said: "If the questioning is over, I will send the emperor back properly."

Xie Kuang said yes, and respectfully sent the emperor away with Yan Yuan.

After returning home, Yan Yuan was still placed in the palace, and the usual female palace was transferred from Fengxing Palace to serve.It doesn't make things difficult for her to extend the medicine.It is also strictly ordered to mention this matter again.

It was time to go to court without resting overnight, the emperor looked calm and did not mention this matter at court.

It was just that a decree was issued to the concubine's elder brother, only saying that the concubine died of a sudden illness, and the details were conveyed in an understatement.Afterwards, the noble concubine was named the imperial concubine, and her brother was promoted to the third rank, and he was rewarded heavily to appease him.In memory of the friendship between Yan Yuan and the noble concubine during his lifetime, the emperor took pity on him and granted him the title of Xiuyi, and still gave the noble concubine his former residence in Ganquan Palace.Jingren, the son of the noble concubine, was registered as the prince.

Xiao Ruan went to deliver the decree in person, and when he came to answer the emperor, his expression flickered.

The emperor didn't need to look at his face, and asked, "Lin Xie will enter the palace with you?"

"Yes. Master Lin is kneeling outside, begging to see the emperor." Xiao Ruan replied with her head bowed.The emperor did not discuss these matters with anyone, and he made his own decisions.He also didn't know what the emperor was thinking. "The emperor wants to see him? Or send him back?"

"Xuan," said the emperor.
