But the emperor didn't pick up the teacup.

Instead, he looked at Sheng Xia.

Regarding the fact that Ji Chiye married a fool, the emperor did not despise Ji Chiye.

In his eyes, he only cares about the result, and the process is not important at all. The power of the Duke's Mansion cannot be underestimated, and it is a good opportunity to ascend to a high position.

After all, he was able to stand out from many princes, become a prince, and finally sit on the throne, all because of the power of the women around him.

Taking advantage of the power of the concubines' mother's family, she gained a firm foothold among the many princes.

Especially in the eyes of the emperor, although Ji Chiye married a man who could not continue to have children, he would definitely marry many more women who could bear children for him in the future.

However, the fact that the son of the Duke's Mansion is a mentally incompetent fool has always made the emperor feel extremely uncomfortable.

Considering whether to let the foolish son live in peace, or to create an accident.

But even though the emperor thought so, he couldn't accept Ji Chiye's thinking like this. Ji Chiye also knew his father who was duplicity in appearance very well, so he acted as a three-good veteran in front of everyone.

Sheng Xia kept holding the teacup, obediently and honestly not saying a word.

"But I'm not so stupid as to be hopeless! I still know how to obey." The emperor sighed.

After finishing speaking, he reached out to pick up the teacup in Sheng Xia's hand.

Suddenly, a guard rushed in, saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is dead!"

what?

Everyone present was shocked.

The emperor immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

Although the queen on the side was shocked, she was happy in her heart, so there was one less person to compete with his son, the eighth prince, for the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, when the subordinates found the Eldest Prince, he had been dead for a long time and his body was hardened. He should have died at nightfall last night." The guard said, "He committed suicide by hanging himself."

"How is it possible?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Is there anything that can make him want to commit suicide!"

Obviously the emperor did not believe that Ji Zeyin committed suicide.

When the emperor said this, Sheng Xia glanced at Ji Chiye without a trace, as if he already had a guess in his mind.

At the same time, Ji Yutang spoke, he said: "Brother Huang, some accidents happened last night, maybe because of this accident, Zeyin couldn't think about it for a while..."

He didn't continue talking, but everyone present understood the meaning very well.

"What accident happened last night?" The emperor asked anxiously, "It made Zeyin want to commit suicide!"

Sheng Xia lowered his head and took a sneak peek at Ji Chiye. He didn't expect that this matter would extend to the murder case.

Ji Chiye didn't see any guilt at all, he stood upright.

Things have developed to such a point, so to tell the whole story of the eldest prince's suicide, it should be Ji Chiye, the person involved.

Then, in front of the emperor and everyone else, Ji Chiye told all the things that Ji Zeyin wanted to do to Midsummer.

Meanwhile, Gong'e, who saw Ji Zeyin forcibly dragging Sheng Xia into his room, was brought to testify.

Of course, Ji Zhanxiao and Ji Yutang, who were present at the time, also told the emperor exactly what they saw when they opened Ji Zeyin's room.

The eldest prince Ji Zeyin is obviously lustful, and everyone present knows this.Although the eldest son of Zhen Guogong's mansion is stupid, he has a delicate and beautiful face.

People who have evil thoughts in their hearts will inevitably have evil thoughts to get some sweetness from him.

Furthermore, Ji Zhanxiao and Ji Yutang's remarks, and Gong'e's testimony that Ji Zeyin forcibly dragged Shengxia into the room, Ji Zeyin's charge of belittling his sister-in-law is solid.

Midsummer is not at fault, Midsummer belongs to legitimate self-defense, she sticks to her chastity for her husband, and cannot be punished.

At this moment, Ji Chiye said: "Father and mother are tired from the journey, and the minister wanted to report this matter to father after he had rested, but unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened."

The emperor's brows were deeply furrowed, as if he was thinking and analyzing something.

After a while, he said: "Although a man's dignity and the most important thing is nothing more than his lifeblood, Ze Yin probably committed suicide because his lifeblood was abolished, and he couldn't think about it for a while." possibility of murder.”

As he spoke, the emperor narrowed his eyes and glanced at the princes present.

"That's why everyone who stayed in the palace last night was suspected of committing a crime. We must explain to you one by one what you were doing during the time when the First Prince died!"

How can the emperor not know that all the princes are secretly competing for the crown prince.

After all, without a prince, there would be one less competitor.

After the emperor finished speaking, the guards took the assistant to make the exact time of Ji Zeyin's death again.

After hearing the time of Ji Zeyin's death, all the princes present recalled what they were doing during this time.

Sheng Xia pretended to be stupid and continued to hold the teacup, but his eyes sneaked to Ji Chiye who had been calm and calm beside him.

He wasn't in the bedroom during this time.

Could it be that what he said last night to wipe my ass was to kill Ji Zeyin.

But this is not to wipe his ass, but to paste shit on himself. Killing the prince is not a child's play. He made such a big mess, and the emperor is not a fool. How can he deal with the aftermath?

Will the emperor find out that it was Ji Zeyin who killed him, and then snap him in a fit of anger?

Sheng Xia began to worry. After all, Ji Chiye burped his fart, and his life was over.

This is what the person in the space said to him.

When midsummer was worried, the Ninth Prince took a step forward and said, "Father, at this time last night, my son was soaking in the hot spring in the bathroom."

As he said that, he looked at the Eighth Prince, "Mynah can testify."

Hearing this, the eighth prince took a step forward and said, "That's true, my son and my ninth brother are taking a bath in the hot spring."

In this way, both the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince were cleared of suspicion.

The twelve princes took a step forward and said: "My son and Bailihong are fighting crickets."

Bai Lihong is an imperial physician at the Imperial Hospital.

Fight crickets!After the emperor gave the twelve princes a helpless look, he sent his guards to find Bai Lihong to collect evidence, but the result was exactly the same as what the twelve princes said.

The second prince and the third prince are brothers from the same mother. Whenever they meet, they play chess according to their preferences. In addition to testifying to each other, because they play chess with lights in the gazebo of the imperial garden, the eunuchs and eunuchs in the past can all play chess. Witness for both of them.

There were still a few princes present, who had just rushed over today, so there was no suspicion of murder.

So at this moment, Ji Zhanxiao and Ji Chiye are left without telling the time period of Ji Zeyin's death last night, and what they were doing.
