Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

The news of the sudden death of the sixth prince soon alarmed the emperor.

To everyone's surprise, the emperor came to Chonghua Hall in person, and he came so quickly.

The emperor obviously rushed here as soon as he got the news. When he entered the Chonghua Palace, he didn't even fasten his cloak to keep out the cold, so he rushed behind the screen without stopping.

Because he walked too fast, he almost bumped into the waiter who was holding a basin of blood. The waiter was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground, uttering sins.

The sixth prince's stiff body was lying on the bed, and his face was covered with a white cloth.

Beside the bed, the imperial physician, whose hands were covered in blood, knelt on the ground and did not dare to lift his head. Only a woman dressed as a palace concubine threw herself on the bed, clutching the sixth prince's hand tightly and weeping uncontrollably.

The sons of the aristocratic family and the family members of officials and officials were forcibly detained in the side hall. The remaining concubines, princes and princesses all surrounded the hall and did not dare to speak out. They only saluted when they saw the emperor.

The emperor didn't speak, and walked to the bed in silence. After seeing the cold body on the bed, he swayed slightly as if he couldn't stand still.

The empress took the initiative to step forward, kneeling at the emperor's feet with tears in her eyes: "My majesty, please give me some condolences...these are all incompetent concubines who failed to protect the sixth prince, so... let this kind of thing happen in the Chonghua Palace... Your Majesty, please keep the dragon body safe, and don't be too sad!"

Before she could finish her sentence, the emperor slammed the teapots and cups on the table to the ground, and the shattered tiles almost scratched the queen's cheeks, so frightened that she almost fell to the ground, forgetting her pretended sobs. continued.

——The emperor was really angry.

All the people in the room knelt down on the ground, afraid that they would make a little noise, and even the queen was silent, not daring to say a word.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent, only the distraught sobs of the Sixth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Jue.

That sudden toss seemed to drain all the strength of the emperor, and his hunched back made him look ten years older in an instant.

Concubine Jue threw herself on the emperor's lap, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, holding on to the dragon robe tightly. Her tears stained all the well-dressed makeup, making her soft face It looks hideous:

"Your Majesty! Someone wants to kill our child, Your Majesty! I beg you... I don't have anything now, and I don't ask for anything, but I beg you to catch that thief and cut him into pieces! Your Majesty , I beg you, Your Majesty—”

Her words awakened the emperor, he cheered himself up, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "What is going on!"

The imperial doctor almost crawled out from the crowd, the poor old man had never seen such anger, his voice was trembling: "Hui, back to the emperor, it is the soul-severing grass, someone put the soul-severing grass in the fifth prince's wine glass , was eaten by the sixth prince by mistake..."

"Fifth prince?" An imperceptible trace of resistance flashed across the emperor's face, his brows were tightly furrowed, "Why is there a soul-severing grass in his wine glass? How could he be drunk by the sixth prince?"

The second prince took the initiative to stand up, and told the emperor the cause and effect of the matter without haste: "Fifth brother doesn't want to write a poem, so he asked himself to punish himself for a glass of wine. That glass of wine belonged to fifth brother...Sixth brother somehow, The sudden snatch of that glass of wine led to a catastrophe. In the final analysis, it was all my son's fault. If my son hadn't lost his temper with the sixth brother because of a trivial matter, the sixth brother would not have taken the wine from the fifth brother. drank..."

The emperor only felt a tight headache: "Is there anything to do with you?"

The queen secretly winked at the second prince desperately, signaling him to stop talking.

The second prince seemed to have not seen it, with deep self-blame on his face, and continued: "The sixth younger brother is ignorant, and he spoke rudely to Shen Shizi at the banquet, and this son-in-law said a few words to him. Who knows He thought that my son was angry, and wanted to punish himself with a cup of begging for forgiveness, but such a disaster happened... There are thousands of mistakes, all of which are the fault of my son, please punish me."

After he finished speaking, he knelt down straight, with his knees on the ground making a dull sound.

Gu Chiyuan was on the outermost side of the concubine and prince, watching the mother and son acting coldly.

The emperor was silent.

At this time, the third prince, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Isn't the sixth brother's glass of wine only touched by Shen Shizi? Father, you should ask him carefully, is it balsamic vinegar that is poured into that glass of wine? something else."

"Valsamic vinegar?"

The third prince said: "No, Shen Shizi was the only one who added something to that glass of wine. Everyone at the scene saw it for real. Father, you can ask everyone to ask about it. Shen Shizi has never been pleasing to the eye. Fifth brother, even if he really poisoned his wine, it wouldn't be a strange thing."

"Bold!" Although Concubine Jin didn't know what happened to the second prince's Yan Yangju, she felt that she would not allow others to frame her precious nephew at will, "Before the matter is investigated, the third prince should not act rashly." Good discussion. My nephew is not here now, how can we directly determine that he is the real murderer? There is no reason in the world to directly convict without being refuted!"

The third prince wanted to say something more, but was glared at by his concubine mother, and then he didn't dare to speak out.

On the contrary, the queen, who inexplicably ate a bunch of soft nails at Concubine Jin today, was suppressing her anger secretly, and now that Concubine Jin spoke, she put on a pitiful expression:

"Yes, Your Majesty, Shen Shizi is the nephew of Concubine Jin's sister. After such a big incident, Concubine Jin is inevitably a little anxious. It is also right to speak up for Shizi Shen. Don't blame Concubine Jin for scolding the prince without authorization." It's a mistake..."

In a few words, she was saying openly and secretly: Concubine Jin and Shen Rongci are related by blood, even if Shen Rongci is the real murderer, she would cover Shen Rongci; Moment charges.

If it was the former Concubine Jin, she would have already quarreled with the queen by now.

But she remembered that Shen Rongci had taught her about it.The more someone wants to pour dirty water on her and turn black and white, the more she must hold her breath and must not be led by the nose, otherwise she will fall into the other party's way.

The queen was waiting for Concubine Jin to become angry from embarrassment, but she saw the woman put a handkerchief against the tip of her nose, and said in a choked voice:

"The empress is right. The concubine is indeed a little impatient, but the concubine also loves the sixth prince! The most urgent task is to find the murderer for the sixth prince who died in vain, so that the sixth prince can rest in peace. It's not too late to discuss the minutiae later..."

Concubine Jue, who was out of breath from crying, immediately went crazy when she heard this, pointed at the queen and cursed: "Your empress, please put away your fake mercy! Now you want to bring the topic to other topics. Is the matter getting worse? Then how can my son rest in peace? Empress Empress! It was my son who died, not your son. If you don’t feel sorry for yourself, don’t think that others are as ruthless as you!”

"you--"

The empress failed to splash dirty water, but touched a soft nail with her hand, and was scolded bloody by a little concubine Jue for no reason, and was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while.

"Enough! Shut up!"

The emperor pinched his brows, looked at the sixth prince who was covered with a white cloth, and immediately averted his eyes in pain.

After a long time, he said wearily: "Go, put Shen Shizi into the prison."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Jin was shocked, she was very puzzled, why the emperor would not give Shen Rongci a chance to distinguish, and sent him to prison indiscriminately.

The emperor looked at her beautiful face like a lotus in clear water, as if he had lost all his strength, he let out a long sigh:

"Do you remember that I told Shen Shizi myself that I wanted him to work like a dog for the future prince?"

The second prince's hands behind his back slowly closed, his nails firmly embedded in his palm.

Concubine Jin didn't know why the emperor brought up this matter, but she just nodded in a daze: "I remember, but..."

She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened her eyes wide, her face full of astonishment.

The emperor looked at her, the bloodshot eyes contained endless remorse and anger:

"The Prince Chu in my heart is dead, and Shen Rongci, no matter what, cannot escape the blame!"

-

Shen Rongci was invited into the prison.

Not everyone can enter the sky prison in the palace, only relatives of the emperor, powerful officials and dignitaries who have committed serious mistakes are eligible to be imprisoned in the sky prison.

Shen Rongci was brought into a spacious and clean single room. Not only were the windows opened, but there were also clean bedding. Even the haystacks on the floor were dry, which looked pretty good.

The two guards who invited him in, one tall and one short, one thin and one fat, were simply the best combination of cross talk.

The tall one took advantage of the short guards to go out, and flattered Shen Rongci with a smile: "Shen Shizi, let's work hard here, this is already the best single room in the sky prison, and the subordinates are also following orders, so treat them well." Yours, if you still need to buy anything, feel free to come and find your subordinates."

As he said that, he stuffed him with clean clothes, which were taken from the yard inside his Luanzhu Terrace.

Concubine Jin did not know where to find the relationship, and sent these to this heavily guarded sky prison for him.

This time, she should be worried.

Shen Rongci sighed, just as he hid the bundle under the quilt, he was dragged to a corner by the short guard.

The short guard winked at him: "I'm afraid Shen Shizi will stay here for a while, and the meals during this period will be arranged by his subordinates, but you have to avoid others when you eat, and don't be fooled by those next door." I saw the pickled stuff. By the way, do you have anything to help your subordinates take out?"

The two guards obviously didn't know that the other side was also opening the back door for Shen Rongci, and avoided each other when whispering to Shen Rongci.

It must have been bought by a different person.

Shen Rongci guessed that the tall guard was ordered by Concubine Jin, but he couldn't figure out who the fat guard was.

Just about to ask again, the fat guard noticed Guard Gao's gaze, coughed twice, and raised his voice: "Shizi Shen, your personal servant has been taken for interrogation, and when it's over, it's time It's your turn. Before that, you can think carefully about what you want to confess later, and then don't forget what you said or what you missed."

After finishing speaking, he secretly spread his hand towards Guard Gao where he couldn't see.

Shen Rongci knew it in his heart, and by flicking his sleeves, he put the marrow pill in his hand into the hands of the fat guard:

"Go away, don't bother me until my servant returns."
