Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 399 The Man in the Dark

Situ Xu leaned over and helped Chen Bin up, looked at Situ Jin with cold eyes and said back: "I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can handle it impartially, and don't chill our hearts!"

Situ Jin didn't even look at them and responded coldly: "I will deal with it impartially without bothering my brother."

Turning around and facing Jiaoyang, he said: "If you want to see my father, he is awake right now and there are many people on the road. Please follow him back to the palace soon!"

Jiaoyang nodded: "Thank you, Brother Prince!"

Jiaoyang waited outside the palace for a while, and soon the people inside came out to let her in.

The atmosphere in the hall was still a bit depressing at this moment, but perhaps because there were fewer people, it was not as dull as before.

"I've met my father!"

"Get up!"

Seeing her coming, Situ Lin asked in a deep voice, "Have you been to the Penal Department Prison?"

The scorching sun blessed Fu Shen and said, "Yeah!"

Situ Lin took the medicine bowl handed over by Wang Gonggong, gently shook the black medicine soup with a spoon, and said pointedly: "You also think that your third emperor brother was not killed by him?"

Jiaoyang lowered his head, wringing his handkerchief and said: "He is not that kind of person. He did not get news about his parents from Brother Sanhuang. There is no reason to set fire!"

Situ Lin snorted coldly: "The one who died was your half-brother. You actually trust others so much."

Jiaoyang frowned deeply, raised his head and looked at his father in front of him: "My father is a wise king, and this is not the first time I have seen this kind of trick of blaming others. I believe that my father will definitely give Xiao Feng justice." .”

Situ Lin raised his eyelids and glared at her: "You are a good talker!"

Jiao Yang responded generously, and Situ Lin ordered people to go back to the palace. When he got on the carriage, he accidentally saw the bracelet on Jiao Yang's wrist and asked lightly: "I remember that you never like such plain things. This bracelet looks... It doesn’t look like something from the palace.”

Jiaoyang pulled his sleeves, covered the bracelet, lowered his head and replied, "My son has grown up, and his character will naturally change."

Situ Lin's eyes lingered on her wrist for a moment, and he said calmly: "Don't run around these days. Now that something happened to your Third Emperor brother, and you stepped out to defend Xiao Feng, it will inevitably cause people to gossip. Don't worry about this, Prince." I’ll take care of it myself.”

Jiaoyang nodded obediently: "I understand."

As soon as Situ Lin returned to the palace, he saw Situ Xu waiting for him outside Chengde Hall.

He knelt in front of Situ Lin with a grief-stricken expression: "Father, so many people have seen this. The third emperor's brother died so tragically, and the mother and concubine are now in pain. The imperial doctor said that her current mental state is extremely bad. She is already weak, so please ask your father to seek justice for your younger brother!"

Hearing Situ Xu's words, Situ Lin looked coldly: "He is also my son, so why don't I feel sorry for him, but the prince has already found out that Xiao Dongcheng and his wife were indeed killed by someone sent by the third party, not to mention that Xiao Feng was there at that time. He was in a coma at the scene, and no one saw him setting the fire with his own hands. He went in to find his parents. Why did he set the fire if his parents were not found?"

Situ Xu's mind was racing and he said, "Maybe the emperor's younger brother threatened him with his parents' lives, which made him angry, so he decided to set fire to the third child."

Situ Lin's eyes became almost inaudibly cold, and he sneered coldly: "You were not at the scene at the time, how did you know about it?"

Situ Xu lowered his head and did not notice the change in Situ Lin's expression. He gritted his teeth and said: "Although I am not at the scene, Xiao Feng is the only one at the fire scene. He is definitely not involved. I am heartbroken because I lost my brother. My mother and concubine are also sick in bed now, which makes my son sad even more. Father, I must not let Xiao Feng go because of his identity."

Situ Lin said coldly: "Do you know that the lives of Xiao Dongcheng and his wife are uncertain now? Jincheng has lost its commander. If the people in southern Xinjiang find out, there will be another war. Xiao Dongcheng has been stationed in Jincheng for more than 20 years. Now if his son If something goes wrong, if this matter reaches Jincheng, the morale of the military will definitely be unstable. If it attracts the attention of Southern Xinjiang again at this time, the stable situation that was finally maintained will be turbulent again, and how many people will be displaced by then!"

Situ Xu said again: "But Father, is there no royal land in the world? Even if Xiao Dongcheng has been in Jincheng for more than 20 years, Jincheng does not belong to his Xiao family. If he dies, just replace him with another general." Yes, I think Feng Qian is quite suitable."

Hearing this, Situ Jin couldn't hide the look of disappointment in his eyes, and waved his hands: "You are exhausted today, so go back and have a good rest. You have to help take care of the third child's funeral, so go back first."

Situ Xu raised his eyes and glanced at Situ Lin. He was a little unsure of his father's thoughts, so he had to retreat first.

Just as Situ Jin returned to the East Palace, Muying hurried back from outside and called him out.

"Your Highness!"

Situ Jin responded and then walked into the mansion.

"Is the matter settled?"

Muying hurriedly followed him and said slowly.

"My subordinates have followed your instructions to find a house in the city and settled them in the house. They have also sent people to guard them. They have not restrained their hands and feet, but they are not allowed to leave the house. They have not shown any signs of weakness yet! "

Situ Jin's eyes flashed slightly: "Let the people in the dark keep an eye on them. Those people with Kong Wencai in the city will definitely show up. Now they must have known the news of my uncle's death. The people in the city will soon Take action."

"They are hiding and we are hiding. Now we can only use this method to lure those people out. But Kong Wencai is your brother after all. If you really meet with swords in the future, if you can't make a move, you will You can also let An Yi keep an eye on it!"

There was a look of struggle in Muying's eyes for a moment, and soon he said calmly: "Your Highness has spared him once, because he is so obsessed with it. If he still refuses to repent and insists on being a traitor, let him It would be better for me to die by someone else's sword than to do it myself. Although he and I are related by blood, he uses me in everything and does not regard me as his brother. It's okay to not want such a family member!"

Situ Jin nodded: "If you can realize this, it will not be in vain that your uncle saved your life!"

Mu Ying looked ashamed: "To tell you the truth, I am sorry for General Xiao. If it weren't for me, nothing would have happened to him, and Master Xiao was imprisoned. So many brothers died, I..."

Situ Jin patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him: "Don't feel guilty. This is not your fault. Even if it's not you, it will be someone else. What we have to do now is not to let their plan succeed. Otherwise, more people will die!"

Muying asked again: "Will Master Xiao be okay?"

Situ Jin replied: "He will be safer in prison now. The newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice is upright and upright. He is by no means a person who follows people's influence. He will suffer some injustice, but his life will not be in danger."

Muying nodded: "That subordinate will retreat first!"

Situ Jin waved his hand and walked towards the inner courtyard.
