Hearing that His Majesty was in Jingren Hall, Qin Wenxian and Zheng Lixiao rushed to Jingren Hall together, and met Dali Temple Minister Wu He and You Shaoqing Xiao Desheng on the corridor, and they were about to report the case to the emperor.

The two greeted Zheng Lixiao and went to see the emperor together.

Wu He's stern face was more dignified than usual, obviously worried about the royal bloody case last night, but Xiao Desheng looked at Qin Wenxian intentionally or unintentionally, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Mrs. Qin was imprisoned in Lingchen Zhai last night. ,Are you OK?"

Qin Wenxian shook his head, indicating that he was fine.When Xiao Desheng worked with him in Dali Temple, the relationship was not lukewarm. Qin Wenxian knew that because the teacher was an old friend of the Qin family, Xiao Desheng was somewhat dissatisfied because the teacher had been taking good care of him all the time.

At this moment, even though Qin Wenxian was worried about his mother, he was unwilling to talk too much to Xiao Desheng, lest if he said too much, he would lose it.

In Jingren Hall, the atmosphere was very gloomy.

The emperor sitting in the upper position had a painful face and frowned. The queen massaged his temples and persuaded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well, you should take a good rest. Just leave the investigation to the Crown Prince and Dali Temple." .”

The crown prince stood on the left hand side of the emperor, and King Yi stood on the right. King Yi sighed and looked at the emperor with compassion, "It's a good intention for the mother to be so considerate of the father, but now the father has lost his child. The truth is unknown. How can I rest assured?" ?”

Empress Xie frowned, and glanced at Zheng Lixiao, "Isn't Qin Yao the murderer? What else can we investigate?"

Zheng Lixiao looked down, "I have to ask Mr. Wu, how did the investigation go?"

Wu He brought Xiao Desheng and Qin Wenxian to stand under the hall, and Wu He reported: "Your Majesty, I ordered you to inspect the bodies of the sixth princess and the seventh prince. They were all poisoned and were thrown into the lake later. go."

"Poisoned?" The emperor was so angry that his chest was tight and short of breath, "Can you find out, what kind of poison is it?"

Empress Xie changed her expression slightly, and glanced at the prince, who lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Wu He said: "It's a quack poison called Ruanjinsan. It can temporarily numb the limbs, make the whole body weak, and fall asleep. I have already asked General Shan Lie about everything that happened in the palace last night. At the banquet, Mr. Tang’s guard Mo Xie asked for a martial arts competition with Qin Shaoqing. Mo Xie’s wooden sword flew out, knocked over the candlestick and caught fire. After that, everyone left Zixia Palace in a panic and went to Lanyue Pavilion. This is the sixth princess and the seventh prince. At that time, he was taken away by the murderer in the chaos.

Mrs. Qin was also missing at that time. After investigation by the minister, Mrs. Qin also suffered from Ruanjinsan.

The minister thinks that Mo Xie is very suspicious and has already put him in prison, but he refuses to say anything, insisting that the matter has nothing to do with him, and after the fire broke out, he followed everyone to Lanyue Pavilion, and there were many people around him certificate. "

After hearing this, Qin Wenxian looked at Wu He gratefully. When Rong Fei returned to Yunqing Palace to take over this morning, he said that as soon as Grandpa got the news last night, he went to see Wu He in person. Wu He has always respected Grandpa. I will find a way to help his mother get rid of the charges.

The queen's face was ugly, and she glared at Wu He and Qin Wenxian.

And the emperor's head seemed to be hurting more, and he coughed with some difficulty breathing.

"Father, please drink some hot honey tea." The prince thoughtfully handed over a cup of hot tea to the emperor, and the emperor took a few sips before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Lixiao clenched his hands in his sleeves.

Father hesitated like this, as if the love he had for Princess Anyang was fake.That's right, the truth of losing one's own flesh and blood seems to be nothing compared to the stability of the country.

Zheng Lixiao thought of his mother's concubine's words, the most unfeeling thing is the emperor's grace, it is very reasonable.

There was no time to be sentimental at the moment, Zheng Lixiao took a look at the prince who was serving him attentively. This morning, a subordinate told him that his father passed out last night, but it was the prince who waited by his side all the time. His filial piety moved his father.

Although the prince usually looks honest and honest, obedient like a queen's marionette, but seeing this person is too well-behaved, he always feels a little strange in his heart.

Seeing the emperor's delay in making a statement, Qin Wenxian felt chills in his heart. He probably guessed what His Majesty was thinking. Tang Linghao was the son of Tang Chengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and the nephew of General Tang Chengmeng. Well, back then when His Majesty successfully ascended the throne, the Xie family contributed a lot, so the daughter of the Xie family was able to become the queen. This move of the Tang family will inevitably involve a lot of people, and I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble again.

But yesterday, His Majesty still praised him so much and cared about his sister, but at night they still arrested their mother.

Although it was because the mother was found next to the bodies of the sixth princess and the seventh prince, and the empress and concubine Li were aggressive, His Majesty was so angry that he had to arrest the mother.

However, the biggest reason for His Majesty to make this decision is that the truth is not as important as the stability of the country, and the strength of the Qin family is not as good as that of the Tang family, so the members of the Qin family are not immovable.

Although he can understand the checks and balances of being an emperor to weigh the pros and cons, he cannot accept the utter loyalty of a generation of loyal officials who were sacrificed innocently.

Fuquan, the chief eunuch, came in and reported, "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ning and Concubine Li are asking to see you outside."

The queen persuaded softly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li's mother and son must have come here for the Seventh Prince's matter. Now that this matter has not been resolved, there is no way to explain it to them. Why don't you see their mother and son and let them calm down."

The emperor frowned and thought for a while, "Who can stop that quick-tempered second prince, let them in."
