"Your Highness, it's not good!"

Waking up early in the morning, before He Qianxiao woke up, he was woken up by Yuan Yuan's voice.

He sat up startled in his dream, but he was not yet fully awake, so he responded, "Ah?"

"This morning's news, He Yu committed suicide!"

He Qianxiao asked vaguely, "Who is He Yu?"

"It's the little eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment."

He Qianxiao woke up immediately.

Yuan Yuan approached and brought him a robe. He Qianxiao didn't even bother to put it on and ran out, then stopped suddenly, "Self-inflicted? That means he committed suicide? When did it happen? It was yesterday..."

"It is said that it is night, when the inspectors see it, everyone will be cold." Yuan Yuan said.

No, in the book it was clearly on the third night after He Yu entered the punishment department.

Yesterday was the second night, and the person who did it was a day earlier.

Because he was going to investigate the case recently, the emperor specially approved his qualification to leave the palace, so He Qianxiao didn't need to give special approval, and rushed directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

After arriving, He Qianxiao wanted to see He Yu's body, but was stopped.

The words of the Ministry of Justice were that he was afraid that he would be bumped after seeing the slave's body, which is the same reason as not being able to see blood in front of the emperor.

He Qianxiao knew that the corpse was definitely not good-looking, but he had to confirm it.

I don't know who gave the order, even when He Qianxiao was about to force his way in, the people from the criminal department still didn't let go and stopped him. When the two sides were in a stalemate, He Qianxiao heard Yan Gui's voice behind him .

"The most important place in the Ministry of Punishment, what's the noise?"

Yan Gui also came yesterday, so he probably has something to deal with here.

He was dressed in black uniform today, tall and tall, more than half a head taller than He Qianxiao, standing beside He Qianxiao, as if he could lift He Qianxiao up with one hand.

"See the sixth prince." He seemed to see He Qianxiao just now.

He Qianxiao didn't care about him, and pursed her lips tightly.

The official told Yan Gui about the matter, basically saying that it was difficult for them, and asked for help to persuade He Qianxiao.

"This matter is easy to resolve." Yan Gui said.

He Qianxiao thought he was going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

After all, in the original text, Yan Gui was unsmiling, and he was very rude to him in the early stage, even the original owner didn't like him.

But in the next second, Yan Gui said: "If you let him in, it's over?"

Officer: "???"

He Qian smiled: "?"

Now, it becomes pressure from both parties.

The official's head was covered with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and got out of the way.

He Qianxiao didn't expect that helping Yan Gui after he was drunk would have such benefits, and Yan Gui repayed his kindness too quickly.

After thanking him, He Qianxiao hurried in to see He Yu's body.

As a person who grew up in a peaceful age, this was the first time he faced such a thing directly, and it was unavoidable that he felt a little nauseous and his legs were weak.

Yan Gui also followed in, and chuckled lightly upon seeing this.

He himself was a person who walked out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and this kind of scene, to him, was not even considered exciting.

Regardless of whether he was mocking him or what, He Qian asked with a smile, "Has the autopsy been done?"

"Back to the sixth prince," said an official next to him, "After the judgment of the lower officials, he should have hanged himself to death."

Same as in the book.

He Qianxiao couldn't see the condition of the wound, but there was no need to guess this time, He Yu was indeed killed. It is estimated that he changed the plot of the original book, which caused He Yu to be killed one day earlier.

Just when He Qianxiao found nothing and was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something tightly clutched in He Yu's right hand.

The body is so hard that it cannot be broken apart.

The official stood beside him, and He Qianxiao was inconvenient to do anything. At this moment, Yan Gui who was beside him stepped forward and looked at He Yu's corpse for a moment.

When some officials tried to stop him, Yan Gui had already retreated.

"It's a pity to lose one's life at such an age."

It is said that the general is used to seeing life and death, but he still expresses what kind of emotion.

The official wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an apologetic smile, "It's because he doesn't live well, and we can't do anything about it."

"That's right," Yan Gui turned around and smiled at He Qian, "I've seen it too, let's go, benefactor?"

He Qian's smiling face paled and turned red, but he nodded.

When I went out, I still couldn't help feeling guilty.

He clearly told the people in the Ministry of Punishment to take good care of him, but this kind of thing still happened.

Does this mean that he can't change the plot in the book at all, the damned person, whether he dies sooner or later, will die?

While contemplating, Yan Gui said, "Here you are."

He Qianxiao turned his head, and found that it was the purse that fell into his arms.

It's what He Yu is holding in his right hand!

"Obviously I can't watch it, but I still want to watch it," Yan Gui said indifferently, "I still have something to do, so I can't accompany you, benefactor."

He Qian smiled: "...don't call me that!"

It's a pity that Yan Gui didn't hear his words, because he had already stepped on the horse and drove away.

In the end, he took the purse and planned to go back to the palace. On the way, Yuan Yuan saw that he was depressed, and hurriedly comforted him, "Your Highness, you poured so much money into the Ministry of Punishment yesterday, and you have tried your best to protect him."

He Qian smiled and closed his eyes.

It is one thing to know that He Yu will be killed, but another to actually face it, and the corpse he saw just now did not pass away because of pain, but was killed by someone!

When he thought about it for a while, his heart sank heavily.

The purse in his hand felt soft to the touch. He Qianxiao looked at it for a while and found something.

The pattern on it is not common among folks, it is made of a special kind of white silk thread.

He Qianxiao gave the purse to Yuan Yuan, "Go find someone to find out what thread is on this purse, go and return quickly."

Yuan Yuan nodded.

After noon, Yuan Yuan returned to the palace in a hurry. The original owner, He Qianxiao, was an idle prince who didn't listen to anything outside the window.

Yuan Yuan said: "I found out about the origin of this thread, it is a kind of silver thread, the thread is spit out by a precious silkworm, and it is spun by the best craftsman, there is a special quantity for each year, it is an ordinary embroidery They all use ordinary cotton thread, which can't be used by non-rich families."

He Qian smiled and asked: "What kind of rich and powerful do you have to be?"

Yuan Yuan thought for a while, "The family of the richest man is a relative of the emperor."

But the range of suspicion suddenly dropped a lot.

He had previously suspected that this matter was done by the prince. After all, he was like a thorn in the flesh to the prince. However, in recent days, the prince did not even look for him, so his thoughts no longer leaned towards the prince.

But this cannot be fully confirmed.

Now, his thinking is that the crown prince is less suspicious. After he came to this world in the past few days and observed the palace, he found that the crown prince has more hole cards than him. On the surface, he is more favored by the emperor. The crown prince has greater rights than him.

In this case, there is absolutely no need for the prince to harm him, and he doesn't bother to do such things.

While He Qianxiao was caressing the pattern on the purse, a servant came in and raised his voice, "Preach the Holy Spirit."

The emperor told He Qianxiao to go over.

Said it was for lunch.

When He Qianxiao passed by, he realized that there was not only the emperor, but also the queen.

In the original book, the queen doesn't appear on the scene very much, and she basically cleans up in her own palace. She is the prince's biological mother and has another daughter, but she died young when she was still young, and because of that incident, she was left behind. The root of the disease is found, and the body is not very good.

When He Qianxiao walked in, he heard her coughing.

The emperor was next to him, and he was a little concerned.

This couple is also seemingly incompatible, and the queen has always been displeased with He Qianxiao. When the queen is around, the emperor cannot summon He Qianxiao, unless the eunuch calling him has just left, and the queen is here.

Not only that, when He Qianxiao finished his ceremony and was about to take his seat, the crown prince also arrived.

The prince's face was not very good-looking, but he maintained his superficial skills, and called He Qianxiao "Sixth Brother".

He Qian smiled and saluted him.

What a sinister scene.

The empress looked elegant, and the clothes on her body were mostly plain. Except for the embroidered phoenix, she couldn't tell she was an empress, just like an ordinary housewife.

He Qianxiao originally wanted to get closer to the emperor and try his best to stay away from these two people, but unexpectedly, the prince took the initiative to sit down beside him.

He Qian smiled: "..."

This person took the initiative to come together, and it has nothing to do with him.

The dishes on the table, probably because of the queen's arrival, also became clear and watery.

The emperor sighed and said: "You have lost a lot of weight recently, eat more."

The queen said lightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring."

Looking at her, it didn't look like she was thanking her at all.

He Qianxiao remembered that long ago, the empress liked the emperor, but although the emperor was not too hardworking, there were still some bad qualities in men.

He dotes on that concubine today, and will be favored by a newcomer tomorrow. Many concubines were favored at least before they fell out of favor, but the queen has never been truly loved by the emperor.

Over time, he died.

As for not liking He Qianxiao.

Probably it has something to do with his mother concubine Luo Shi's favor back then. Luo Shi was the most favored in the six palaces, and until now, there is no other concubine who can match her. The queen's dislike for him is actually her dislike for Luo Shi.

Just when He Qianxiao was deep in thought, the prince suddenly said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I think the sixth brother is getting fatter."

He Qianxiao came back to his senses suddenly, and heard the prince mocking him.

Although the prince's tone was not the same, but he heard it in his ears, no matter how he heard it, it didn't sound right.

He has been worried these few days, and he has not had a good life. It turns out that he is fat?Can this be tolerated?

"Brother Prince, too," He Qian smiled, "Looking more handsome and handsome, amiable."

He Zichen:? ? ?

His sixth brother has really changed.

Since it was just an ordinary meal, the emperor didn't criticize him too much, he just pretended to blame and said: "Your prince's elder brother is the crown prince, so he should be serious, but he doesn't look like he's amiable."

When He Zichen heard the words, he followed the emperor's wishes and echoed a few words.

Only the queen never spoke from the beginning to the end.

Although they are in the palace together, they are not considered as a family, so naturally they cannot chat and laugh like ordinary people.

It is estimated that the people present are not thinking about eating.

It didn't take long before everyone couldn't eat anymore, but no one proposed to leave. He Qianxiao looked at the queen and the prince, and obviously had something to say. Both of them were older than him, so he had to back down first.

It is not easy for the emperor to take the initiative to drive the queen away.

Just when He Qianxiao was about to go out, the queen coughed again.

It is true that her body is not in good condition, and she has to maintain her majesty as an empress so as not to show her sickness.

He Qianxiao raised his head, and saw the attendant around the queen take out a handkerchief, and wiped the queen's mouth.

His eyes froze suddenly.

The pattern on the veil was too similar to what he saw on the purse.
