Oiran son

These words were on Ouyang Chen's lips, but before he could ask, he was interrupted by footsteps.

"Master Luo, there are guests coming to find Mr. Ouyang." The boy's voice came from the door.

The two woke up like a dream, Ouyang Chen turned his head and asked, "Who wants to see me?"

"It's me." Before the servant could answer, an unpleasant female voice sounded.

Luo Yun turned around and saw Shui Ruochen walking in from the door, "Why are you here?"

Seeing Shui Ruochen brought back many unpleasant memories for Luo Yun. If he hadn't been concerned about Ouyang Chen being by his side, he would have shot her out of the hive with a hidden weapon.

As if sensing the malice from Luo Yun, Shui Ruochen subconsciously distanced himself from him, and then made it clear.

"The master has an accident, you must find a way to help the master."

Ouyang Chen was taken aback, "You said something happened to His Highness, didn't he go to Huguochi to practice, what happened?"

Shui Ruochen glanced at Luo Yun, as if he wanted him to avoid it, but it was useless for him to avoid it at all, as if you like to talk or not.

Ouyang Chen said: "If you have something to say, you can just say it directly. Brother Yun is my own, and I will not hide anything from him."

Seeing what he said, Shui Ruochen had no choice but to continue.

"Today, the master was ordered to go to the Huguo Temple, but he was taken back by someone sent by the Holy One on the way. Because the prince was killed, and now he is in a coma, the people around the prince testified that it was the master who ordered people to poison the prince. , So, I was taken back by the Holy Majesty for questioning."

Ouyang Chen's eyes flickered, "Then, what can I do for Your Highness?"

Shui Ruochen hurriedly said: "I know the Holy Majesty appreciates you very much. As long as you can enter the palace and ask the Holy Majesty to appoint you to investigate the case of the prince's poisoning, the Holy Majesty will allow you to investigate the case. As long as you are in charge of the investigation, the real The murderer will not blame the master, and return the master's innocence."

Ouyang Chen nodded, "I'm going to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit now, but the Holy One also knows about my relationship with His Highness, so I really can't guarantee whether he will allow me to investigate."

Shui Ruochen also knew this truth, so he could only say: "Do your best, it's up to you whether His Highness can get rid of the suspicion... What happened before was all on my own, Your Highness really didn't know beforehand. Love, don't hold resentment towards him... Please do your best to help him."

Facing Shang Shui Ruochen's pleading eyes, Ouyang Chen said soothingly: "I will try my best to help His Highness, you go back and take care of everything first, and then I will enter the palace to meet the saint."

Seeing that Ouyang Chen agreed, Shui Ruochen didn't stay any longer, there were still many things to take care of.

As soon as she left, Luo Yun spoke displeasedly.

"I know that if something happens to Zhu Xu, you will definitely not stand idly by, but you must promise me that you will not get yourself involved for that kind of person. He didn't consider you a brother or friend at all. I don't believe that he sent someone to hunt you down before. He doesn't know anything about us.

Even if Shui Ruochen really made up his own mind about what happened before, but after he returned to Beijing, he grabbed me to threaten you, which proves that he is a bad person, and it is not worth your efforts to help him, so you have to help him He can, but definitely don't be dragged down by him, you know? "

Hearing Luo Yun's worried instructions, Ouyang Chen stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and said with a smile: "I see, I can see clearly what kind of person Zhu Xu is, and I will take care of myself. Actually, this time I Helping him is helping you—”

When Luo Yun heard this, he immediately reacted.

"Just now, Shui Ruochen said that the prince was poisoned and passed out. If his poisoning was not a scene he wrote, directed and acted, and if even the imperial doctor couldn't cure his poison, maybe the emperor would give him the two elixirs in his hand. .”

Ouyang Chen said: "At that time, I will find a way to turn that medicine into a phoenix."

Luo Yun smiled happily at first, then thought of something and said: "What if the emperor refuses to give the medicine to the crown prince? Even if the emperor is willing, how can you steal the medicine and turn it into a phoenix in full view?"

Ouyang Chen said confidently: "There will always be a way, it's getting late, I'll go to the palace first." After finishing speaking, he hurried to the palace.

Royal Palace.

"You want to be in charge of investigating the prince's poisoning case?" In the huge palace, Emperor Jing's voice sounded slowly.

Ouyang Chen said: "Please allow me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jing took a deep look at Ouyang Chen, and said in an unhurried tone: "I know you have a good relationship with Xu'er, but it's better not to get involved in this matter."

Ouyang Chen raised his eyes in surprise, could there be something wrong with the prince's poisoning?The Holy Majesty didn't let him investigate, was he afraid that he would be involved and could not be dragged down, or was he worried that he would find out something that shouldn't be investigated?

After a long while, a resolute look flashed across his face and he said: "Although I have a very close relationship with the second prince, I can guarantee that I will never be biased. Please allow me to participate in the investigation of this case."

Emperor Jing pondered for a moment, "Since you insist on investigating this case, then you should follow Zhongwen to investigate."

Seeing that Emperor Jing finally let go and let himself participate in the investigation, although he was only a deputy, Ouyang Chen was still very satisfied.As long as he participates in the investigation, he will not be afraid of being tampered with during the investigation and return Zhu Xu's innocence.

The most important thing is that he can take the opportunity to get the two elixirs in Emperor Jing's hand.

"What do you think about this case?"

After accepting the appointment of Emperor Jing, Ouyang Chen and Xu Zhongwen quickly started to investigate the prince poisoning case together with Xu Zhongwen.

Although Xu Zhongwen was the person in charge of the case, he did not put on airs in front of Ouyang Chen, but politely asked him about his understanding of the case.

Ouyang Chen sorted out his thoughts before expressing his opinion.

"Just now, I have asked the people in the East Palace that the prince was poisoned after eating breakfast this morning. I had someone check the prince's meal but found nothing. According to everyone's confession, the prince did not touch anything other than the meal today. over other foods.

In addition, I also asked people to carefully check everything that the prince can touch, including tea, potted plants in the house, clothes, etc. Now we will wait and see what the results are.Then Master Xu, is there any progress? "

Xu Zhongwen looked at Ouyang Chen with mixed eyes. He had heard before that Ouyang Chen was a celebrity in front of the second prince. Now, from his cautious attitude in handling the case, it is not difficult to understand why he is reused by the second prince.Concentrated, he also stated the results of his investigation.

"I have sent people to search the second prince's mansion, but I have not found any evidence of poisoning the prince. I have also taken statements from everyone in the palace, and there is nothing suspicious. According to the current evidence, there is no Find evidence that the second prince killed the prince.

It's just that according to the people around the prince, the third prince, the sixth prince, the ninth prince and others have all visited the prince in the East Palace in the past two days. On the surface, it seems that they are all suspected, and I will trouble you to share with them later. confession. "
