Kuai Chuan starts from saving Daiyu

"That's true," Zhou Xueqian sighed, looking at the tiredness between his son's brows and eyes, "But King Shun doesn't care if the emperor's original intention of this marriage is not in the end. Since he took revenge on you, he has already made it clear. , to tear faces with us."

"Tear your face?" Zhou Chen chuckled, "Didn't you tear your face when the Princess insulted Daiyu? Although King Shun and Princess Shun both apologized on behalf of the Princess and prepared an apology, but who can't see it?" When they came out, they punished the princess secretly? The apology would have to be made by the princess himself to Daiyu, right?

But what about the facts?King Shun had indeed prepared generous gifts to come to apologize, but the outsiders only thought that King Shun intended to win over Lin Shishu. If the emperor was more suspicious, Lin Shishu might have been suspected by the emperor and took refuge in King Shun.

It is said to be an apology, but in fact it is to oppress the Lin family not to pursue the matter of bullying Daiyu by the princess.Of course Lin Shishu didn’t dare to turn his back on him. He has just returned to Beijing now, and his foundation is not stable. Not to mention his whole family, he might not be able to seek justice. I won't turn my face on the spot. "

Lin Daiyu can be said to be Lin Ruhai's darling. How could Lin Ruhai not hate being humiliated and belittled so much?

how?

Your Shun Wang's daughter is a treasure, but his Lin Ruhai's daughter is a grassroots?

Even though King Shun was the prince and his daughter was the princess, Lin Ruhai never felt that his daughter was inferior.

Now that the feud has been made, at most Lin Ruhai will not turn his face on the spot, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he does not hold grudges in his heart.

Even Zhou Zichen, who is so gentle and considerate, has hated Princess Qingyang, so how can he talk about Lin Ruhai?

Hearing his son's words, Zhou Xueqian sighed, "Speaking of which, our family also had a lot of holidays in Tongshun Palace. Your second brother rejected Shun Wang's solicitation at the beginning. Although there was no rumor about it, His Majesty must know about it." of."

King Shun has made a lot of small moves recently, and the emperor has noticed all of them, and he is already dissatisfied. By giving the princess of Qingyang a marriage and marrying Prince Jin's son, the emperor is beating King Shun.

But Zhou Xueqian looked at King Shun's posture, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of His Majesty's move at all.

Zhou Chen frowned after hearing Zhou Xueqian's words, "What does the master mean, the emperor is already dissatisfied with King Shun?"

"The emperor bestowed a marriage on Princess Qingyang and Prince Jin, which is to beat King Shun."

"But it's a pity," Zhou Chen understood the old father's meaning, and said with a light smile, "His Royal Highness Shun Wang didn't find any reason on himself at all."

I'm afraid it's because his father put eye drops in front of the emperor.

The emperor was dissatisfied with King Shun, and even wanted to beat him, but King Shun took revenge on him. The emperor would not fail to see these calculations, but when he saw it, he listened to King Shun's recommendation and ordered him to investigate the murder of Prince Jin. ...

Zhou Chen's thoughts changed sharply, and he vaguely made a bold guess.

"Chen'er, you just have to remember one thing, I, the Marquis of Chuanning, will always only be loyal to the Holy Majesty."

This is a hint.

Zhou Chen understood, and smiled back at Zhou Xueqian, "I understand."

The emperor does not want people from this dynasty to be involved in the case of the murder of Prince Jin. The point of this case is not who the murderer is, but that the outcome of this case must have nothing to do with this dynasty.

Now that he knew that the emperor intended to suppress King Shun, Zhou Chen didn't need to keep an eye on Princess Qingyang.

Even if Princess Qingyang was the murderer who killed Prince Jin, in Zhou Chen's opinion, that Prince Jin might not be a good person either. He deliberately approached Jia Baoyu, and maybe he had other plans, but his plan was still there. If you don't finish it, you will be killed first.

Zhou Chen can't let the emperor think that he is a person who doesn't care about the overall situation.

The conflict between the emperor and King Shun comes from the throne. Now the emperor is in his prime, but King Shun has grown up, and his power has begun to threaten the emperor's ruling power. The two stand on opposite sides. It can be said that King Shun is now basically Not being destined for a high position, not to mention Princess Qingyang, as long as King Shun cannot become the next emperor, then there is nothing to worry about.

"Go back when you understand, and do your job well, the emperor will not treat you badly." Zhou Xueqian said.

Zhou Chen nodded, exited the study, and returned to Qingsongyuan with a relaxed body.

When he got home today, he was called to the master's study before he had time to go back to his yard. He was already very hungry.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to Qingsongyuan, I saw hot meals on the table in the room.

He frowned, "Sister Yuzan is really caring as always."

Yuzan was startled when she heard the words, and immediately realized that the young master had misunderstood, "This is not due to the servants, Yun Cui who is in front of the master just came, these are all prepared by the main courtyard."

Zhou Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, "Master, did someone prepare it?"

Looking at the situation, he guessed that Zhou Xueqian had been paying attention to him all the time today, and of course he also knew that he only had one breakfast today, and now he was probably hungry, so he just called him to the study, which was simple He said a few words, and they all went straight to the point. It seemed that he wanted to hurry up and finish speaking, and let him go back to the room for dinner.

Thinking of this, his heart warmed up, it was different with his father caring.

After dinner, Zhou Chen asked Jiang Ping to be called back.

He kept Jiang Ping watching Jia Baoyu. On the night of Shangyuan Festival, they must have been watching Jia Baoyu and Prince Jin nearby. Maybe they would know something.

Jiang Ping came back soon, and he didn't hide anything from Zhou Chen's questions, and answered whatever he asked.

The two brothers were indeed by the river that night, Jiang Ping stared at Prince Jin, and Jiang Tian stared at Jia Baoyu.

During the period when Prince Jin fell into the water, the number of people putting river lanterns on the bank suddenly increased. When the crowd dispersed, Prince Jin fell into the water. Across the crowd, they didn’t see exactly how Prince Jin fell into the water, but some One thing they can confirm is that when Prince Jin fell into the water, the maid named Miaochun and Jia Baoyu were two body distances away from Prince Jin.

"You mean, when Prince Jin fell into the water, neither Miao Chun nor Jia Baoyu touched Prince Jin?" Zhou Chen frowned slightly.

Jia Baoyu's suspicion can be completely ruled out, but Miao Chun's suspicion has been aggravated by him.

Although the Jiang Ping brothers are not considered his confidantes, they are people arranged by the master to be by his side, and they will never deceive him about this matter.

Since when Prince Jin fell into the water, both Miao Chun and Jia Baoyu were separated by two body distances from Prince Jin, that is to say, neither of them could push Prince Jin into the water.

That being the case, why did Miao Chun insist that it was Jia Baoyu who pushed the Prince of Jin?

"At that time, was there anyone else by Prince Jin's side?" Zhou Chen asked after thinking about it.

Jiang Ping shook his head, "Before Prince Jin fell into the water, only Miaochun and Jia Baoyu were closest to him."

"Hmm..." Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Ping, "You followed Prince Jin and Jia Baoyu that night, did you meet anyone on the way?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ping thought for a while, then shook his head, "Prince Jin was talking to Jia Baoyu all the way, and they had a good chat. Jia Baoyu even showed Prince Jin the piece of jade he was wearing. The prince just looked at it for a while and then returned it to Jia Baoyu," said hesitantly after a pause, "I always feel...Prince Jin seems to care about the piece of jade on Jia Baoyu's body."

"Oh?" Although Zhou Chen had never met Prince Jin, since he knew that Prince Jin was deliberately approaching Jia Baoyu, he had suspected that Prince Jin wanted the piece of jade on Jia Baoyu. Now that Jiang Ping said the same thing, he was even more Affirm your guess, "Why do you say that?"

"When Prince Jin got Jia Baoyu's piece of jade, his eyes were indescribably strange, as if he wanted to swallow that piece of jade."

Is Jia Baoyu's piece of jade some rare treasure?Or... Prince Jin knows the origin of the piece of jade on Jia Baoyu?

Although Zhou Chen didn't know much about Dream of Red Mansions, he did know that the two protagonists of Dream of Red Mansions were immortals, and Jia Baoyu's predecessor was the waiter of Shenying in Chixia Palace.

These information all come from the system and will never go wrong.

Prince Jin... Could it be that he traveled through time?

This idea came out of nowhere, but Zhou Chen felt that only this guess was reasonable.

A traveler who knows the details of the plot of Dream of Red Mansions well, may be forced by some special circumstances, and he needs Jia Baoyu's jade.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain that a foreign prince who just came to the capital is so enthusiastic about Jia Baoyu's affairs. Even if Jia Baoyu was born with jade, how can a foreign prince be sure that the birth of jade is true? And not the rumors fabricated by the Rongguo Mansion?

Since he approached Jia Baoyu so deliberately, he must have confirmed that the jade on Jia Baoyu's body had a real origin, otherwise the explanation would not make sense.

Suddenly, Zhou Chen thought of Zhou Zichen.

The system said that Zhou Zichen would have died if he hadn't appeared to disrupt the secret.

So... Could this Jin prince be an anomaly?So it was cleared by heaven?

In this case, there may be no murderer at all.

The next day, Zhou Chen rushed to the Yamen of Dali Temple early in the morning to interrogate Miaochun.

Miaochun was not locked up at first, but after he said Miaochun was suspicious in front of the emperor yesterday, Miaochun was detained in the prison of the Yamen of Dali Temple.

Kneeling in front of the hall, Miaochun was very haggard and in a trance, not at all as decisive as she was in biting Jia Baoyu on the Lantern Festival.

"Miao Chun, I want to ask you, did you really see Jia Baoyu push Yan Mao on the night of Shangyuan Festival?"

Miao Chun raised her head in a daze, "I don't know...I don't know anything."

Zhou Chen frowned slightly, and asked again, "How did Yan Mao fall into the water, did you see it with your own eyes?"

Miaochun still didn't know, no matter what Zhou Chen asked, she always said she didn't know, looking like she was insane.

Unable to ask any questions, Zhou Chen had to ask someone to lock Miao Chun back.

Rubbing his forehead, he became more and more sure of his guess.

There was never a moment when he felt that death was so close to him.
