After refusing to marry the prince, the general regretted it too much

It was nearly dusk when the emperor drove to the Bieyuan.

When Qin Ye was dragged out of the quilt by Xie Heng and arranged to hide, he was still a little dazed.

"I just returned to De Palace around noon today, and I summoned the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment in the afternoon, so I'm leaving the palace now?"

With the emperor's earlier work and rest, it is impossible for someone who came back from a tiring trip and did not rest for three to five days to get up and read the book.Now that the diligence has reached such a point, it seems that it is really imminent.

Xie Heng was pressed in front of the window by Gong'e, and his originally rosy complexion turned a little pale. Qin Ye got up neatly dressed, looked around the room to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then said: "This pulse... Are you going to lie?"

Xie Heng's breath was filled with the scent of powder, and he waved his hands unaccustomed: "Do you think he came here because he was really concerned? Can you bring an imperial physician?"

With the temperament of the emperor, it is impossible.

When Emperor Hui was helped into the inner bedroom by the eunuch, the prince was struggling to get up to greet him. His originally delicate and fair face was a little sharp, and he looked a little empty in the moon-white pajamas. A bit obviously weak.

The emperor couldn't say what he had prepared all the way for the time being, so he had to step forward and push the prince back to the bed, without courtesy.

Xie Heng half-lyed back, and naturally, Gong'e stepped forward to straighten the soft pillow and help him sit up. He coughed lightly, looked at the emperor and said, "Father is driving back to Beijing, and my sons are not out of the city to meet you. I have always felt ashamed in my heart, and now I am so tired that my father and relatives come to visit..."

He spoke slowly, but his eyes seemed to be full of water.

The prince was cowardly by nature, and he was always timid when getting along with the emperor, but he didn't rely much on intimacy. The emperor was rarely looked at by his son like this, and his heart moved slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

He sighed softly, then turned to ask about Yun Zhou who was next to him, and after caring about every detail from the severity of the prince's injury to the daily diet, sleeping time, and every detail, the fluctuation in his heart was suppressed again, and he looked at him again. Prince.

"I sent the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to question me today, and Chen Ziyue said that he searched all over the capital, but he couldn't find the mastermind behind the assassin..." The emperor spoke slowly, with a little imperceptible weakness, "But the assassination of the prince Whether it is a matter of emotion or reason, there should be an explanation."

He directly omitted the emblem from Prince Jin's Mansion, like a helpless father.

Xie Heng lowered his brows, and his eyes were stained with helplessness and grievance: "Father, I really didn't send anyone to intercept and kill Ning Xun..."

The prince's tone was a little anxious, but he seemed to have to take a deep breath because of the wound: "He went to Xijiang to inspect the Yanzheng, and Xijiang was guarded by Ning Guogong. I will never kill him at this time!"

"If you really want to attack the ninth brother's people, I should also kill Xuan Pinghou. Kill Ning Xun... What's the use of killing Ning Xun?"

The prince didn't need to analyze the critical point, the emperor could think it through clearly.

But the prince's words, don't you think that Jin Wang is behind the scenes?

The emperor choked, obviously the current situation was expected, but he still felt an indescribable sadness.

"I have seen the emblem on the assassin's clothes. I also know about Ning Xun's disappearance on the way back to Beijing. It's just..." The emperor felt the bloody smell rolling in his throat, and he was extremely uncomfortable, "Even if you really want to send someone To assassinate, you must disown yourself, how can you be so stupid to wear clothes with the emblem of the Prince Jin's mansion to assassinate?"

"As for Ning Xun... since it was not done by the East Palace, at most it was just an ordinary bandit who went missing. I have ordered the local officials to do their best to search for it. If they can find it, it's good. If they can't, it's okay to explain the matter clearly. gone."

Xie Heng was silent for a while.

The last time he saw the emperor was before he left the capital, the emperor was majestic and graceful, and under his profound prestige, he looked quite dignified and dignified.

Now the emperor is coughing and wheezing in front of him, his face is paler and more sluggish than his deliberate disguise, like an ordinary old man who has lost his halo, barely covered by the thin dragon robe around him, maintaining the status of a king of a country dignity.

It's just... who would sympathize with a frail old wolf?

Especially, this wolf is ready to snatch away the person he likes.

He didn't speak, and the emperor was not in a hurry, he just covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "You and Ke'er are both good, don't be deceived by traitors, and hurt the brotherhood."

The prince's eyes finally moved.

"A traitor is blind," Xie Heng's voice was a little dry, "What kind of traitor? He has a hand and an eye."

The emperor seemed to be indecisive, and remained silent for a long time, before he said: "The evidence presented by Chen Ziyue vaguely points to Guo Xian's mansion, but I don't know...whether Prince Duan knows about it or not."

Xie Heng's pupils shrank slightly.

Guo Xian?Duan Wang's father-in-law, the official servant who was already arrested?

He was involved in the assassination from the beginning to the end. Don't he know whether Duan Wang's tail is clean or not?

That man was as shrewd as a ghost, and he cleaned up all the first and last evidence long ago, without leaving any traces.

How did the emperor find out?

There was a turbulent wave in his heart, and he was a little flustered for a while, but he woke up instantly when he saw the emperor's hesitant expression.

The emperor didn't find out at all, and didn't need to.

It's just that the prince was assassinated, there must be an explanation for this matter, and it cannot be explained casually.

Who can have the motive to plot against the crown prince and King Jin, and send people to intercept and kill Ning Xun?

Swipe up and down, there are only a few people who are qualified to top the vat.Xie is the only one who has not caused a shock in the government and the public after topping the tank.

Xie Heng lowered his eyelids slightly, his fingers trembled, and he said after a while, "Guo Xian? That's the fourth brother's residence, how is that possible?!"

Looking at his expression, the emperor knew that the crown prince had already wavered. He nodded lightly and said, "How is that impossible? Guo Xian happened when you were in charge of the government. It is common sense for the Minister's House to hold grudges, and both the East Palace and Prince Jin's House were frustrated. It is not clear who will benefit in the end.”

"Prince Duan is weak, so he may not know about this matter, perhaps some villain took advantage of him, but it cannot be escaped anyway."

Xie Heng completely understood.

The emperor wanted to pin the prince's assassination on King Duan's head, but he didn't want his life either.

The father-in-law, Guo Xian, was the first to be among them. Maybe the Guo family was sentenced to copy the accounts and implicate the nine clans. Duan Wang Xie Wei, who didn't know about it but was involved in the assassination of the prince by the Yue family, might be deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner.

In this way, such a catastrophe disappeared invisible.The crown prince vented his anger, but the king of Jin kept it, and the court and China were still in a state of mutual checks and balances, as if nothing had happened.

It was the person behind the scenes who claimed to be in control of everything, who was picked out out of nowhere and lost completely.

Shocked by the emperor's vicious and decisive thoughts, the prince clenched his palms slightly, his eyes were full of shock and trance, and he murmured after a long while: "If that's the case...if that's the case... I think I'm wrong."

He seemed a little unwilling: "However, it is better to invite the three courts to conduct a joint trial, so that this matter can be investigated clearly."

The emperor was finally satisfied.

The prince may or may not have believed it, but as long as there is such an idea in his heart, it really makes sense after careful consideration, and there will be no obstacles.

Such things as evidence can always be produced.

The emperor led his people away in a mighty manner, and Qin Ye, who was hiding from the side, came out quietly, looked at the dazed expression of the prince, and was a little worried.

He came up and straightened the crown prince's messy hair with his hands: "What did your majesty say? Why is your majesty so worried?"

Xie Heng stretched out his hand to hook his demon's hand, held it in the palm of his hand, and murmured: "I didn't say anything, I was just thinking, why is this thing so easy?"

Qin Ye didn't know the cause and effect, and wondered, "Why is it so easy?"

"The matter of scheming against King Duan," Xie Heng said, "I thought Father would definitely not be able to accept that King Jin was accused of assassinating the Crown Prince, maybe the Sanju will delay it again and again, and this time let someone who has little to do with the East Palace Come forward, find out the traces of Prince Duan's mansion from the clues, maybe go down the donkey, and you can firmly pin this matter on Prince Duan."

This was his original plan... and he was prepared for a long time.

Now it's good, the emperor wants to go with him!

There is no need for the crown prince to finish speaking, Qin Ye already understood.

He hooked Xie Heng's hand with his back, fearing that the crown prince would feel cold because of the emperor's ruthlessness, he comforted: "Our Majesty has always been like this, since he got what he wanted, he should be happy."

"That's right." Xie Heng was coaxed by him, obviously he didn't care about this, and he didn't bother to explain clearly, so he really hooked the corners of his mouth.

A big event in my heart has landed, even though it is different from what I expected, it is still a little bit refreshing.

Qin Ye looked at him and smiled, then thought about something, and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty is returning to the capital, and the people who look like they are surrounded by Prince Jin's mansion should also withdraw. After today, this other garden can no longer be so lively. Bar?"

The people gathered around the Bieyuan were worried about the situation in the capital, and now that the emperor returned to the capital, the focus of things had naturally shifted.

Xie Heng nodded, and he smiled even more heartily, stretched out his arms to hug the person in front of him, buried his head and sniffed greedily.

Xie Heng's face was flushed by his tossing, and he understood a little bit in his heart, and then heard the man whisper something in his ear.

"Since that's the case, we can go back to the past? Don't hold back like this anymore?"

-

The emperor returned to the palace and summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

"The assassination of the crown prince...don't keep staring at the Prince Jin's mansion, check the other places."

Chen Ziyue knelt at the foot of the steps, for a moment she really couldn't figure out where the emperor was referring to by this place next to her.

The emperor was lying on the soft bed with a bad expression. Seeing his expression of not being able to comprehend but not daring to guess, he waved his hand without interest: "Go and check Guo Shilang's mansion."

Guo Shilang... Guo Xian?

Duan Wang's father-in-law?

Chen Ziyue's body trembled, she didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly responded.

Emperor Hui sat with heavy eyes for a while, and then summoned the imperial physician.

Physician Liang, who often served by the emperor's side, took the pulse tremblingly, knelt down on the steps and explained a lot of pharmacology, and then said: "Your Majesty took too much medicine a few days ago, and now I have stopped the medicine, so I can rest and recuperate. Worrying about..."

The emperor has heard this bunch of nonsense these days, and it doesn't interest him at all.

With the troubles in Beijing like this, how can he avoid worrying too much?

The emperor who closed his eyes before finishing listening was lost in thought, even the voice from the steps below felt extremely far away, and even felt like he was in a dream, after suddenly waking up, he said: "Go to Dingguo Duke's Mansion to have a look. "

Physician Liang, who was about to continue persuading the emperor, paused, not understanding why the emperor's mind suddenly drifted so far away.

"Go, take the pulse carefully, and see if he is really sick, and if he can get up."
