Uncle Royal has

No one dared to ask what was going on, just watching the Holy One rushing out of the hall like flying steps, leaving them trembling here.

Those newly promoted officials who had been favored by successfully quelling the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River were the first to come to their senses. They sat together indifferently, neither talking to each other nor paying attention to others.

Yu De took a sip of the remaining wine, and saw the emperor's uncle leaning on the table with his head propped on his hands, with a gloomy expression on his face.He withdrew his gaze, squeezed the things hidden in his arms, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief - the emperor's uncle is generous, and the treasures lost by the Yu family have returned to his hands.

Zhuan Sun Su pretended to be depressed and didn't pretend for long, when the palace servants from the Empress Dowager came to report, saying that the empress had been frightened.

In the name of comforting his mother, he hurried to the empress dowager's bedroom.

In the huge palace, only a few lamps were lit, and the cold wind passed through the hall, blowing the curtains like ghosts in the dark night.Zhuansun Suxing wrapped his fox fur tightly and walked forward slowly.

The Empress Dowager was sitting on the throne, her eyes drooping slightly, looking a little tired.

Hearing footsteps, she raised her head and smiled at her only son, "Su Xing, rest assured."

Zhuansun Suxing didn't speak until he walked to his mother and sat down, "Mother, are you alright?"

"It's okay." The Empress Dowager patted the back of his son's hand lightly, "It's just that I woke up a little early today, and I'm a little tired now."

"How did mother do it?" Zhuan Sun Suxing asked again, he was worried that mother would leave clues that would bring disaster, if there were any omissions, it would be better to make up for them as soon as possible.

The Empress Dowager said slowly: "I sent people to watch Mu Zhaoyi for three days. Every morning and evening, she would take a walk in the courtyard for about half an hour. Each time, six palace maids followed her, but they walked beside her. There is only one confidant, Madam Li, but Zhaoyi has no shortage of people to serve, and the palace has always been very peaceful, so Mammy Li is occasionally sloppy."

Zhuansun Suxing suddenly asked, "Who are you sending?"

"The palace man who is responsible for delivering meals to Mu Zhaoyi every day, she is an inconspicuous little girl."

Zhuansun Suxing nodded, motioning for his mother to continue talking.

"The road that Mu Zhaoyi walked was paved with pebbles, and there were plum trees on both sides of the road. It rained two days ago, and I thought the time had come, so I sent someone to sneak into Mu Zhaoyi's bedroom after dark. I chose a place close to the plum tree, knocked loose the pebbles, and turned the soil at the root of the tree."

Zhuan Sun Suxing narrowed his eyes, "When Mu Zhaoyi was walking as usual, he stepped on a loose pebble and fell to the side, subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the plum tree, but the plum tree couldn't hold her back, and Mammy Li I didn't recover, I could only watch Mu Zhaoyi fall."

"Yes." The Empress Dowager nodded, "But it's more than that."

"Also..." Zhuan Sun Suxing thought for a while, "If he just falls, there is still a possibility for the child to survive."

The Empress Dowager said: "That's right, it's not just that one plum tree that has been tampered with, and the plum trees on both sides have also been arranged. As long as the first plum tree falls and falls on the other two nearby plum trees, then the plum trees on both sides will be destroyed." The two trees will also fall, just hitting Mu Zhaoyi who fell to the ground, and the sharp branches pierced her body." Thinking of the bloody scene, she closed her eyes and sighed, "An accident in the harem is also reported. When I came to my place, I took a look and came back, and by the way, when the Holy Majesty came, I cleaned up the scene before there were too many people."

This arrangement seemed to be an accident, but to the suspicious Holy Majesty, the combination of loose pebbles and fallen plum trees was a problem, and it was inevitable that someone had tampered with it.But His Majesty's grief overwhelms everything now, so he won't notice this for a while, and there is still time to prepare.

Zhuan Sun Suxing squeezed his mother's hand tightly, "Mother, you should rest early, after the matter is over, it will never have anything to do with me."

The Empress Dowager replied with a smile, "Be careful too." She also understood the Holy Majesty's suspicion, and was also worried that Su Xing would be implicated in this matter.

After the mother and son said goodbye, Zhuansun Suxing planned to go back to the mansion directly, but he didn't want to meet a mighty group of people just a few steps out of his mother's bedroom, the first were two servants holding lamps, and the next was the current Holy Majesty.

Zhuansun Suxing, who was in the dark, rubbed his cheeks, and stepped forward with a look of pity, "My lord is mourning."

"Does the emperor know?" The firelight in the lantern actually doesn't have much effect in the deep night, but the dark orange light reflects on the face of the Holy Majesty, and you can faintly see the bloodshot eyes, which only makes people feel like A nocturnal ogre monster.

Zhuansun Suxing said: "Yes, I heard from my mother's female officer. My lord, please take the dragon body as the most important thing."

The Holy Majesty nodded slightly, "It's cold at night, Uncle Huang, hurry back to the mansion, don't suffer from the wind and cold."

"Yes, I will leave." Zhuan Sun Suxing saluted, and when he raised his head, he noticed a woman standing behind the Holy Majesty, she should be one of the nine concubines, her appearance was blurred by the dim candlelight, but just at this moment A maid called out "Pan Xiuyuan", and the woman took the cloak handed over by the maid, and came forward to cover the Holy Majesty.

This time, the appearance finally became clearer, and he felt familiar, so he turned and left calmly.

After leaving the palace gate, he saw Hang Yu standing beside the carriage on the left, and he held his hand in distress, "Why don't you wait in the carriage, how cold is it outside?"

Hang Yu showed a gentle smile on the left side, "I thought His Highness would come out soon, and I don't feel cold."

The two hugged each other intimately into the carriage, the dog cocked his mouth and ordered the coachman to drive.

Inside the car, Zhuan Sun Suxing asked in a low voice: "When toasting me, the one who said that he would bring tea to visit me was named Pan, right?"

"Yes."

Zhuan Sun Suxing stroked his mustache and said with a chuckle, "Sure enough, one person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to the sky. If they fly to the sky and fall down, they will surely fall into a pulp."

Hang Yuzuo asked casually: "What's your Highness's idea?"

"No, no, it's none of our business." Zhuan Sun Suxing patted Hang Yu's left shoulder, the curtain blown by the wind let him see the passing carriage, and the lanterns hanging from the four corners showed that it belonged to Princess Songkang.

He raised the corners of his lips slightly, thinking that he could eat twenty meat buns after returning home.

However, if you acted so happy, you would have to avoid suspicion if you asked the spies to report it to the Holy Majesty.

Zhuan Sun Suxing patted his forehead a few times, it's really hard to be a man these days.

The first snow of winter came quietly three days later, and the whole night of wind and snow made Zhuan Sun Suxing not only feel cold after waking up, but also felt downright boring-slippery in rainy and snowy days, which meant he couldn't walk around.

But soon someone came to relieve his boredom.

Shengshang Weifu came to the Emperor Taishu's mansion.

A few side dishes and pastries were served in the kitchen, steam was rising from the small stove, and a wine bottle with a narcissus pattern stood in the gurgling hot water. Together with the loud brazier, people are almost immersed in the warmth and drowsy.

The Holy One drank the whole bottle of wine alone without saying a word.

Zhuan Sun Suxing fought with his upper and lower eyelids, but he still had to resist losing his composure in front of the holy driver.

Seeing that the second bottle of wine was about to bottom out, His Majesty's eyes were red, his face was haggard, and he complained to Zhuan Sun Suxing half drunk and half awake: "This time, let me know that a confidante is rare. Such."

Unsurprisingly, the real purpose of Shengshang's coming to Huang Taishu's mansion was to find out the real cause of Mu Zhaoyi's death.

"My Majesty's condolences." Zhuan Sun Suxing pretended to be sympathetic, but he really couldn't say any touching words of comfort to the Majesty.What's more, talking too much seems like a guilty conscience in the eyes of the Holy One.

The Holy One drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, "By the way, I heard that my grandmother went there that day, and she was frightened?" He raised his hand to cover his eyes, as if the scene appeared before his eyes again, "It's good to be alone They are alive and kicking during the day, but they are gone at night, and they are still dying like that.”

"Yes, I comforted you for a while, and told the female officer to take good care of you before you dare to go back..."

The Holy Majesty suddenly put his hand on Zhuan Sun Suxing's shoulder, and his voice gradually became weaker.

"I just found out that Zhaoyi was pregnant when the imperial physician examined the body." The Holy Majesty suddenly lowered his blindfolded hand and looked straight at Zhuan Sun Suxing, "One dead body, two lives, I still find it hard to accept this fact."

The unacceptable facts were spoken out unequivocally, and he would be damned if he believed him.Zhuan Sun Suxing stared blankly at the Holy Majesty, then slowly revealed a look of surprise and grief, wiped the corners of his eyes, and lamented: "Oh, it's too unfortunate, it's really the pain of my whole family... But Your Majesty, you are a The king of the country, you should put your body first, and don't grieve too much, there will be children... in the future."

"...It must be that I killed too much in the early years, which caused the wrath of the heavens." The Holy One blamed himself painfully.

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, we have to find out about this matter before we talk about it."

"Oh?" His Majesty narrowed his eyes, "Didn't Grandma tell Uncle Emperor that this was an accident?"

"No?" Zhuan Sun Suxing shook his head, "When I arrived at my mother's bedroom, I heard that the female official said that Mu Zhaoyi had died. The Empress Dowager was frightened by the tragedy. After that, I was busy comforting my mother, and didn't dare to mention a word. But, What do I think, in the scriptures, it’s written that there’s an uproar in the small house for favors, not to mention the harem... So, both man-made and accidents are possible, and we’ll only know after we’ve found out.”

The Holy Majesty lowered his eyes and continued to drink.

Zhuan Sun Suxing secretly squeezed his sore waist, and took another sip of hot water.

In just three days, he woke up from the grief, and came to investigate the truth aggressively. Even if it was judged to be an accident in the end, the Holy Majesty would fabricate a "murderer" out of thin air, and then take revenge fiercely to vent his anger and resentment. Extremely brutal.He didn't want to be this "murderer", so he needed to pull a gunner to make the Holy One suspicious.Even if there is no real evidence, as long as the Holy Majesty has doubts about this person, it will be fine.

He looked out the window, his eyes reflected the clear sky after the snow, the weather was extremely cold, which blocked his pace of finishing this matter.

Just when the Holy Majesty was about to finish the third bottle of wine, a figure appeared at the door, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "My Majesty, there is a message from the palace."

The Holy One waved his hand, motioning for the man to speak directly.

"The cause of Mu Zhaoyi's death may be related to Pan Xiuyuan."

The Holy Majesty stopped to take the wine bottle, looked up at Zhuan Sun Suxing, "Uncle Emperor, I have to go back first, and we, uncle and nephew, will get together again some other day."

"Okay, well, send the Holy Majesty off respectfully." Under the gesture of exempting from courtesy, Zhuan Sunsu saluted hastily, and watched the Holy Majesty leave in a hurry.

Who sent Pan Xiuyuan to the butcher's knife?

Zhuan Sun Suxing stroked his mustache, and suddenly felt that the afternoon of melting snow was not so cold.
