"The emperor is frowning. He has racked his brains, but he has no good plan. After thinking about it, he still can't find any clues, "Ai Qing!Is there really no other way?I can't just watch my precious daughter being murdered to death with my own eyes, but I can't do anything about it, can I?Then how can I be worthy of my dead concubine!I promised her that I would take good care of my daughter when she grows up. "While speaking, tears had already flowed down like rain, and he shook his head helplessly.

Hanyuan hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty! Don't be sad, we have to do our best if there is a glimmer of hope. I remember that when we investigated the poisoning case last time, I reminded you to start the investigation from the people who the princess had close contact with. It has indeed achieved results, and according to the old minister, our investigation is not over yet!"

"It's not over yet? The investigation was obviously over last time! Nothing suspicious was found!" the emperor said puzzled.

Hanyuan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty! This is something we have neglected!"

"What was overlooked? What was overlooked?" The emperor was even more puzzled.

"Your Majesty! We have neglected the most important person, who is also the person who is most helpful to the case. How can we ignore such an important person?" Han Yuan pretended to be a mystery.

The emperor asked impatiently: "Aiqing! Stop teasing me! Who is it? Tell me!"

"We only pay attention to the people who are in close contact with the princess, but ignore the princess herself! After all, there are many things that the princess knows best! How can we ignore such an important person?" Han Yuan pointed out the crux of the problem .

After hearing this, the emperor suddenly realized, "That's right! Why did you ignore such an important person? Immediately announce the princess to the palace!" The emperor hurriedly said to his servants.

But was stopped by Hanyuan, "Wait a minute! Your Majesty! We all know that you love the princess very much, and it is common for the princess to play childish in front of you. It may be inappropriate for the princess to go to the palace now. After all, when you are present, it is impossible to ask anything." I can't ask anymore!

Not as good as this!I personally went to the Fengluan Pavilion to learn about the situation from the princess. After all, the old minister is not talented, and he has some prestige in this big court, and he is getting old. Even if the princess wants to play a child's temper, I will Rather than talking about the seriousness and seriousness of the matter, I believe she will tell the truth. "

The emperor couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed, it was the prime minister who thought everything through, he knew the princess' temperament and temperament thoroughly. "Then Aiqing Lao will go!"

Princess Xueyan has recovered well since that dangerous day.However, the scene of billowing smoke and burning flames is still vivid in my memory. When I was sleeping soundly at night, I was often awakened by that nightmare.

She felt a little restless, and all these incidents were directed at her.She always has a feeling of being a prey in the eyes of others.She cannot predict when the next disaster will befall her, let alone guess what kind of disaster it will be.

It is not an exaggeration to describe her mood with apprehension and trepidation.While hesitating, the servants came to report that Prime Minister Han Yuan had something to ask for an interview.

The princess guessed his reason for coming, presumably because of those several assassination incidents, she could guess how anxious and restless the father was, after all, his own safety affected his heart.She still can't guess what is the motive of the person who murdered her?She only felt that she was very innocent. In this deep palace compound, she had no grievances with others, so why would they harm her?She was also puzzled by this.

The princess respects Hanyuan very much. On the one hand, Hanyuan is highly respected and a well-known figure in the court; on the other hand, he is also his father's teacher.The emperor had to respect her very much, let alone her, so Xueyan came out to welcome her, "Master Hanyuan, you are here! Please come inside!" Then she greeted the servants and poured tea for Hanyuan.

"Princess! You are welcome! The princess must have already guessed the purpose of the old minister's visit today. Your Majesty is very concerned about the princess's affairs, and specially sent me to understand the situation.

In these few assassinations, the princess should be the one who knows the most. It is not accidental. The behind-the-scenes orders must put the princess to death. It can be seen that this person must have something in the hands of the princess. Because the situation is very urgent, maybe it is just us. At this moment of the conversation, the behind-the-scenes commanders have already begun to plan the next assassination. It can be said that the princess is in a very dangerous situation now. After all, we are in the open and others are in the dark.No matter how many guards we send to protect them, it is impossible to defend against them. "Hanyuan explained the severity of the matter to the princess.

"My lord! These things you said are also what I am most worried about. I am a little at a loss, and I don't know what I should do next?" The princess complained helplessly.

In order to alleviate the princess's nervous and anxious mood, Han Yuan kept comforting her, "Princess! You don't have to be so nervous. Your father and I have been discussing the countermeasures. We have many guards. It is not easy to take action again.

The princess need not worry so much.As for what you should do next, it's not complicated, you just need to actively cooperate with our investigation, as it concerns the safety of the princess, I hope the princess can tell me everything you know, remember to To be honest, only in this way can we hope to find out the black hand behind the scenes as soon as possible.Then let the princess get rid of that nightmarish entanglement. "

After the princess heard this, she gradually let go of her hanging heart. The arrival of Hanyuan made her feel more secure and increased her confidence. "My lord! If you have anything you want to know, just ask, and I will answer truthfully."

After Hanyuan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, as long as the princess can cooperate, it will be extremely beneficial to the detection of this case!

"Princess! We have already conducted a detailed investigation on the people around you who are in close contact with you. The servants who serve you can basically be excluded, but apart from these people, we calculate that you are the one who has the most contact with you on weekdays." His father and son-in-law are gone!" Han Yuan told the situation slowly.

But the princess was very surprised. These two suspects were all her closest relatives!Are they going to harm themselves?This is impossible!She couldn't help but feel a little funny about the prime minister's speculation.

"My lord! These two people can also be ruled out! They can't harm me! Let's analyze it from another angle!" The princess said a little unhappy.

Hanyuan smiled slightly, "Princess! I know you feel a little incredible! One is your father, who is the emperor, and the other is your husband, who is the son-in-law. These two are the closest people to you, so there is no doubt about it." Maybe the suspicion is on their heads, right?"

The princess just bowed her head and didn't answer.

Hanyuan continued to explain to the princess: "Do you know! You are in this deep palace compound, in the boudoir warm pavilion, and you have very little contact with people, which makes us have to doubt the people who have close contact with you. We also don't want to believe that the people closest to you are the ones who murder you, but that's the way things are going, even though we don't want to accept that reality.

Among the two most suspicious objects, your father did not have a clear motive for committing the crime. As the emperor, he had no reason to murder his own daughter. Besides, if he wanted to murder you, would he have to wait until now?Therefore, the suspicion of your father becomes very slight.Then all doubts are concentrated on one person! "

After hearing this, the princess couldn't help feeling like a knife was twisting her heart. She could never believe that it was her husband who wanted to put her to death. She and the son-in-law were so in love with each other. Although he was busy with state affairs, the mutual thoughts never stopped Pass.

This handsome boy is my favorite!How could he hurt himself?Thinking of the princess defending the son-in-law, "My lord! Are you saying that the son-in-law is the biggest suspect, the manipulator behind the scenes? This is impossible, he has no motive for committing the crime! He was recruited into the palace, but he enjoys endless glory Fugui, besides, we are very much in agreement, how could he hurt me. This is not logical!"

"Princess! We are using the method of elimination. I am not alone. Judging from the direction of the situation, the son-in-law is the most suspicious! I can see that you and the son-in-law have the best relationship! But this matter is not trivial, it is It's about your safety!
What you need to do now is to tell everything you know about the consort, which will be very helpful to the case.Again, you must tell the truth! "Hanyuan once again emphasized the importance of this matter to the princess.

The princess didn't dare to hide anything, and asked helplessly, "My lord! What do you want to know about the son-in-law?"

"Is there anything suspicious about him?" Han Yuan went straight to the point and asked the question straight to the point.

The princess reluctantly revealed the things buried in her heart, "My lord! I have very sincere feelings for the son-in-law, but what makes me feel strange is that this son-in-law is always busy every day and can't spare time to accompany me at all." To be honest, my lord, we have been married for a while, but we haven't had any joy.

At first I thought it was the son-in-law who respected me as a guest and fully respected me. He is also a refined man and did not wish to force himself on me. He has a thin skin and is just a little embarrassed!
I took the initiative to flatter, but it seemed that I was not interested in that matter, and I always said that I was busy with one or another, and left with an excuse! "

Han Yuan frowned slightly, "Princess! You mean that the son-in-law has been married to you for many days, but they have never slept together in the same bed. What kind of sex is there?"

"Yes! My lord! Indeed not! I don't know if it's because the son-in-law simply doesn't like me, or because of some other things!" The princess wiped away the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief somewhat aggrieved.

After Hanyuan heard this, he suddenly felt that this matter was very strange. The princess is so beautiful and of noble birth, which man would not be tempted?This son-in-law would rather be busy with state affairs than have the joy of fish and water with this beauty, isn't it surprising?

"Princess! You said it was because of something else?" Hanyuan asked curiously.

"That's right! On the night of our wedding, my son-in-law's childhood sweetheart, her childhood sweetheart's first love, attempted to commit suicide. Hearing this news, my son-in-law rushed to her boudoir to persuade her, and came back at dawn!" Tell Han Yuan what happened in the evening.

After Hanyuan heard this, he couldn't help being surprised!This makes the case even more confusing! "
