There was still an orange flame burning in the medicine stove, green smoke was lingering in front of the scorched window lattice, and the medical hall was silent.

Chen Yan and his son fell on the threshold, both of them were shot through the vest by crossbow arrows, and they died in peace.The female relatives in the backyard were not spared either. Mrs. Chen and her daughter-in-law had their throats cut in the house, and blood splattered all over the wall, even before it completely dried up.

Shuntian Fu Yin was terrified by the bloody scene: "There is no one left, who is so tricky?"

"I was negligent, the assassin may also be a woman." Yan Chongjin said, "The pregnant woman named Qian'er, the Qianji Nu was hidden on her at that time. Because she is a female relative and pregnant, so the officers and soldiers did not search .”

Zhu Heng sighed: "The neighbors also said that the Chen family does not have a granddaughter named Qian'er at all, so I want to arrest her for her portrait."

Yuan Erfang asked: "Young Master Yan, how do you know?"

"It's musk. The medicine Dr. Chen made for her contains musk, but how can a pregnant woman drink this forbidden medicine?" Yan Chongjin clenched his fists.

From the time point of view, the assassins started attacking soon after the officers and soldiers left the Chen family.If he had understood Chen Yan's request for help earlier, the Chen family would not have been wiped out!

"My lord, Mrs. Chen found this in her hand." The yamen servant presented a piece of green silk with a small silver longevity lock wrapped in the cloth.

Seeing this, Yan Chongjin immediately rushed into the inner room and rummaged through the cabinets.When he found a few pieces of baby clothes and swaddling clothes, his heart suddenly turned cold.

"Chen Yan has a granddaughter, and she was kidnapped, so the Chen family will help the assassin to cover up her identity." He turned to Zhu Heng, "Master Zhu, find that child as soon as possible."

Zhu Heng nodded in agreement, but Shun Tian Fu Yin asked puzzledly: "Since the assassin has escaped, will he keep the child alive?"

But Yan Chongjin said something that made them look at each other in dismay.

"It would be fine if you didn't stay."

.......

After returning to the palace, Liang Han didn't rest, and first went to the Qiongchang Hall to pay his respects.The old emperor also saw that this guy was a fate, so he ordered to replace a group of attendants in the East Palace, and released him after a few words of advice.Empress Minghui was not so calm anymore, she hugged him with both liver and flesh and wiped away half a tank of tears, making Liang Han's body covered in goose bumps.

After finally escaping from Zhonggong, just passing by the Imperial Garden, he was hit head-on by a fancy chicken feather shuttlecock.The young eunuchs around were so frightened that they all lay on the ground, Liang Han only felt that he was a prince who was really in trouble.

"Which kicked the shuttlecock? Let me out!"

A small head was exposed behind the rockery, and the pink and jade-carved little man blinked his big eyes slyly: "Oh, His Royal Highness, how majestic..."

Who is this damn girl?

Liang Han's heart was full of fire, and a group of beauties hurriedly came not far away.The maids smiled pretentiously, and said in unison, "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."

Liang Han was stunned, half of his anger dissipated immediately, he squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "It's winter, are you cold in such thin clothes?" Is this to play the harem temptation?He is only ten years old this year, okay?Well, but the first few are quite pretty...

"I said why is it so lively? It turns out that His Royal Highness has come down." There was another voice with a smile behind him.

Liang Han looked back and saw a woman in a palace dress with a girl's hair standing by the pool.She looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, with two touches of healthy pink on her goose egg face, and her shining eyes are as clear as the eternal brilliance in the galaxy.

"My servant has met Princess Qiudi, Princess Mulan, and Princess Wanan." The maids hurriedly saluted the two princesses.

This is his "Liang Di"... Liang Han glanced at Liang Di, then lowered his eyes to look at the little girl.Which one is this Princess Mulan?Why is a yellow-haired girl still flirting in front of the prince?

He really didn't know the ranking of the two sisters, and he was afraid of calling them wrong and making a joke.When he was struggling, Liang Di spoke first: "I heard from my mother that His Highness was assassinated by Chunsheng, is there such a thing?"

Mentioning Chunsheng, Liang Han's heart darkened: "He is also being persecuted by others, I will investigate this matter myself."

Mulan grabbed his sleeve and looked left and right: "It's okay, it's okay, there are no missing arms or legs."

Liang Han: "..."

"Chunsheng served in the East Palace since he was a child, and he would be instigated against him. It's really chilling." Liang Di sighed, "After His Royal Highness fell into the water last time, Mulan and I have been worried, but unfortunately we can't leave the harem without authorization. Today Since it's a coincidence, come to my place to have a meal! I have your favorite Hushi."

Unable to evade the kindness of the two princesses, Liang Han had no choice but to go to Juxia Palace.

The so-called Hushi refers to food from the Western Regions, such as Hubing, 饆饠, skewers, and mutton pilaf.As a native southerner, Liang Han is actually not used to these tastes, but now he is the prince of the Chun Dynasty, and he has to continue acting if he can't swallow it.

After talking for a while during the dinner, through the two simple-minded girls, Liang Han roughly figured out the situation in the harem.

Today, there are few descendants and few concubines.Except for the queen of the middle palace, even the position of the fourth concubine was not filled.Concubine Rong and Concubine Yan died early, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian only gave birth to two princesses, Dezhi and Junhui.Now it is Orchid who is in the limelight.She gave birth to Princess Mulan six years ago, the emperor had a daughter when she was old, and she doted on the mother and daughter very much.

Mulan and Liang Han are about the same age, one is the emperor's darling, the other is the emperor's lifeblood, they are both treasures that are held in the hands and afraid of falling in the mouth, so the two are more familiar than other royal heirs.It's just that compared to Qiudi's stability, Mu Lan was playful and willful since she was a child. The feather shuttlecock not only smashed Liang Hao, but even the head of the emperor and queen was not spared.

Liang Han really didn't expect that there was actually a little girl who was more favored than himself hidden in the deep palace.But fortunately, Mu Lan is a girl, if she is a prince like herself, whether she can grow up smoothly or not will be a question mark.

He already understood why Yan Chongjin took him to the Ministry of Punishment.

In less than a month, he has already been murdered twice. I am afraid that King Lian and King Qing are not as content with the status quo as they think.

After finishing the mutton soup slowly, Liang Hao looked up at the blue sky under the eaves of the hall, feeling rather sad.

Where does the heavenly family come from father and son brothers?This seemingly resplendent inner garden of the imperial palace hides a lot of blood and dirt.

After lunch, the imperial eunuch sent the emperor's oral order, urgently summoning the prince to the imperial study for an audience.

Liang Han didn't have time to change his clothes, so he went there smelling of cumin barbecue. As soon as he entered, he found that there were still many people inside.Besides his emperor Lao Tzu, Yan Chongjin was also there.There were also Minister of Criminal Affairs Zhu Heng, Yuan Tongling, Shuntian Fu Yin and two unfamiliar officials. A row of flamboyant patchwork stood crowded together, like well-shaved clubs.

There were two people kneeling before the case.When he got closer, he saw that it was King Lian and an old eunuch in red.

"My son sees my father."

"The prince is free." The emperor rubbed his sore brows, and waved to Yuan Erfang, "You continue."

"Yes." Yuan Erfang clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I happened to have some clues the day before yesterday about the investigation of the inner prison's clique. This Eunuch Ling from Fengtian Palace often goes out of the palace to go to a restaurant. Today, I went to investigate. But I happened to meet His Royal Highness Lian Wang, it seems... the wine in this restaurant must be exceptionally delicious."

Liang Yu's expression changed: "What does Commander Yuan mean by this?"

"It's just a coincidence, Your Highness, don't worry, what I said at the end is literally. The wine in Taibai Winery is really delicious, especially Xiao Jingui."

Hearing the words "Xiao Jingui", the emperor's face turned green, Liang Yu's face turned pale, and Ling Xuanqing silently closed his eyes.

After the crown prince was assassinated, the female assassin fled into the Meridian Hall, and Prince Lian was in the nearby Taibai Winery at that time.Yuan Erfang brought out the matter of King Lian's secret relationship with the inner prison, just to remind the emperor: this coincidence is not normal.

Next, Liang Yu's face was even more ashamed by the investigations presented by the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

The murderer who murdered the prince in Linghan Mountain was Chunsheng, the little eunuch of the East Palace, and Chunsheng revealed that someone threatened his family members before his death.The officials of Shuntian Mansion searched and found the bodies of his parents and younger brother in the ditch of the Qili River outside the city.

Chunsheng's father held a piece of dried lotus stalk tightly in his hand.The lotus is the lotus, and the message left by the deceased is probably alluding to King Lian.

"Father, my son was wronged!" Liang Yu kowtowed in panic, "My son never instigated anyone to murder the crown prince, please check it out!"

The emperor stared at the past coldly: "Then why did you appear in that restaurant?"

"My son... just met a few friends and had a drink there." Of course, he couldn't admit that it was his base for forming a clique and spreading news for personal gain.

"Wine? Is Little Jingui delicious?"

Liang Yu trembled all over, bent down on the ground tremblingly, and didn't dare to say any more.

"Sinister! I knew you were flirting with this old bastard!" The emperor raised his eyebrows, pointed at Ling Xuanqing and angrily said, "Ling, you know in your heart who saved your life for the sake of your life. I didn't expect that all these years The more you live, the more confused you become, how dare you put your mind on the crown prince and treat me as a dead person?!"

"Father! Father, calm down!" Liang Yu hurriedly shouted, "I have never colluded with the inner eunuch, I... I don't know him at all!"

Ling Xuanqing shook her body, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Don't know?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Is this true?"

"Exactly!"

"Okay." The emperor said to Yuan Erfang, "Give your saber to King Lian, and let King Lian dispose of this old thing."

The heavy gilt waist knife was held in his hand, as heavy as a thousand weights.Liang Yu raised his head slowly, and met Ling Xuanqing's old and empty eyes.

Pulling the knife out of its sheath, the cold-glowing blade pointed at the opponent, but the hand holding the knife couldn't stop shaking.

"Your Highness, let's do it." Ling Xuanqing closed her eyes resignedly.

Liang Yu bit his lip tightly, raised his waist knife hesitantly, his expression was so tangled up that he was about to cry.

Liang Han couldn't sit still anymore, just stood up, but was grabbed by Yan Chongjin.He glared at him angrily, but the other party was unmoved.Liang Han was in a hurry and flicked his sleeves violently.

"It's stabbed." His Royal Highness cut off his sleeve in public.

Hearing this strange movement, Liang Yu froze, and everyone in the room turned their attention.

Yan Chongjin coughed in embarrassment, let go of someone, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Lian may have been wronged."
