   Chapter 625 One Leaf (II)

   The dignified and dignified emperor in the past can only lie on the bed now. If you want to turn over, you have to be served by someone around you. What kind of stance of the emperor is put on again, there is nothing to be afraid of, it just looks ridiculous.

  Lu Mingyu groaned in his heart, but his face remained calm: "My daughter-in-law returned to Beijing from Jiangnan all the way, and she was shocked to hear the change in the palace, and she was very anxious. Only by seeing the father and emperor in person can you feel at ease."

   Without waiting for Emperor Yongjia to say a word, he continued: "Father Emperor trusts General Liang, and entrusts the safety of the palace to General Liang. He refuses to see anyone, and only makes General Liang stay by the dragon's couch."

   "This letter is heavy and touching."

   "However, the daughter-in-law thinks that this is not right. The daughter-in-law has no doubts about General Liang's loyalty to the father and the imperial court. I'm afraid that someone who has a heart will make trouble and release rumors to hurt General Liang."

   "If the father really loves General Liang, he should also think about General Liang's reputation and the future. At least one person who can control General Liang should be kept."

   Words are as sharp as knives, where is the stupid General Liang who is his opponent?

  Emperor Yongjia snorted coldly in his heart, and said lightly: "According to what you said, who should I ask to control General Liang? Are you planning to recommend yourself?"

  Lu Mingyu didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Emperor Yongjia's words, and said calmly, "My daughter-in-law has exactly this intention."

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

  General Liang: "..."

"My daughter-in-law is the Crown Princess of Wei, and His Highness is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. The daughter-in-law can speak and act on behalf of His Highness in the palace." Lu Mingyu said eloquently: "This is one. General Yu Liang. In case of any change, the daughter-in-law can also lead someone to rescue the father and emperor."

   "My daughter-in-law is full of filial piety, and I hope the father and the emperor will be fulfilled."

  Emperor Yongjia was so choked by his daughter-in-law's "filial piety" that he almost couldn't breathe.

  General Liang took a deep breath and unexpectedly agreed: "Your Majesty, this minister dares to say something. This minister thinks that there is some truth to what the princess said."

  Emperor Yongjia glared at General Liang.

  It was difficult for Lu Mingyu to say some words. However, Emperor Yongjia's anger and dissatisfaction were clearly and unmistakably revealed.

  Lu Mingyu didn't bother about the matter, opened his mouth and said, "The fifth brother died of poisoning in the ancestral mansion. There are many doubts. The daughter-in-law has some speculations and wants to report to the father and emperor."

  Emperor Yongjia's eyes were gloomy: "Oh? If you have any guesses, you might as well tell me, and I will listen to it."

Lu Mingyu and Emperor Yongjia looked at each other, and said calmly: "My daughter-in-law thinks that the assassination of the prince was definitely not the work of the fifth brother. From the beginning to the end, the fifth brother was deceived and used, and he was guilty first of all. , has hidden poison in his body."

"The bodies of Qian's family were found in Eunuch Ge's house. If the fifth brother was implicated, the people from the Ministry of Punishment would definitely go to the dungeon to inquire. The fifth brother took the poison and committed suicide at this time, and everyone would think that the matter was secretly done by the Queen Mother or Her Royal Highness. Hands-on."

   "This person used the fifth brother to set up this terrible situation. Even the father and emperor were blinded by a leaf, and there was no suspicion of this person at all."

  Emperor Yongjia's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes cold: "Lu Shi, it's ridiculous that you are so suspicious."

   "Ahao cherishes and cares for Achang, and the brotherhood is deep, and everyone sees it. Others will harm Achang, only Ahao can't!"

Emperor Yongjia spoke decisively, and Lu Mingyu replied in a light voice: "This is the most terrifying part of this game. Li Hao did not set up this game in a day or two. Maybe two years ago, or even three or four years ago, He started to make arrangements slowly."

   "It is best to successfully assassinate the prince. Even if the assassination fails, he also has many ways to deal with it."

"If I guessed correctly, the fifth brother didn't think that the poison was real until he was about to die. Li Hao definitely lied to him, saying that the poison was fake and would only cause symptoms of poisoning, not at all. It will damage lives. When the time comes, the mother and the prince will be blamed, and their brothers will be freed from the crime."

As he said that, he looked at General Liang again: "General Liang, the father has handed over this case to you. You are not good at investigating cases, but you can call an experienced officer from the Ministry of Punishment to conduct an autopsy on the fifth brother. As long as The discovery of the hidden poison on the corpse is enough to prove the innocence of the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness."

   General Liang was also shocked and stunned, unable to say a word.

   The words of the Crown Princess and Empress are absurd at first glance. After thinking about it, there is some truth to it.

   It’s just that for the autopsy, the autopsy must be carefully dissected, and finally sutured.

   Li Chang was poisoned during his lifetime, and he had to be subjected to an autopsy after his death. He didn't even have a whole corpse, which was really miserable.

  Emperor Yongjia shot angry flames in his eyes, and said word by word: "Okay. I will order the Ministry of Punishment to carefully examine the corpse of the fifth prince."

   "Mr. Lu, if what you said is true, both the Jiaofang Palace and the East Palace can be unsealed. If not, I will punish you for your false words!"

  Lu Mingyu's eyes were calm: "If the daughter-in-law's guess is wrong, and the fifth brother suffers after his death, the daughter-in-law is willing to accept the punishment!"

  Emperor Yongjia snorted from his nose and closed his eyes: "Go back!"

  Lu Mingyu saluted and retired.

   After Lu Mingyu left, the bedroom returned to a deadly silence.

   After a long time, Emperor Yongjia said: "Liang Zhan, pass on my will, and order Zhu Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment to take the Zu Zuo to autopsy for the fifth prince."

   General Liang surrendered.

  Emperor Yongjia looked very ugly, and squeezed out a few words: "In your opinion, is this what A Hao did?"

  Lu Mingyu's words, Yongjia Emperor still listened to it.

   If Li Hao can kill his own younger brother, it would be too scary! General Liang couldn't bear to look at Emperor Yongjia's face, and replied in a low voice, "I dare not make random guesses."

  Emperor Yongjia closed his eyes: "Go!"

   General Liang retreated in response.

  …

  Lu Mingyu returned to the East Palace.

   One hundred prince concubines' personal soldiers also entered the East Palace. They all lost their weapons, but each one of them was tall and strong, and the guards of the Royal Forest guarding the East Palace were shocked.

   Zhao Rui felt relieved when he saw that there were so many soldiers in the East Palace.

   When Li Jing went to Jiangnan, he took all his hands with him. Only dozens of personal soldiers were left to guard the East Palace. Now that there are so many people, I always feel much safer.

  Lu Mingyu ordered Zhao Rui to settle down the personal soldiers.

   In fact, she brought back more than 2,000 personal soldiers to the capital. However, it is impossible to bring so many personal soldiers into the palace. I only ordered this hundred elites.

   After a long journey, I finally relaxed a little, and exhaustion also swept over.

  The children are snuggled up beside you, and you talk to me every word.

  Lu Mingyu cheered up and chatted with the children. As he talked, he fell asleep on the chair.
