Both Yunshang and King Jing frowned, and after Xia Huanyu left for a while, Yunshang frowned, raised his eyes to look at King Jing, and said, "What does he mean?"

Prince Jing smiled coldly, with a cold look in his eyes, "What do you mean? I'm afraid he already guessed that his son was in my hands and wanted to ask me to let him go, but after sitting for a long time, he really couldn't let go of the noble emperor's face." Come to discuss with me, and simply issued an order."

"But, the Seventh Prince killed the Crown Prince Xia." Yun Shang was a little surprised, "Emperor Xia can tolerate it?"

Prince Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's because one son is already dead, that's why I don't want to sacrifice another one. Xia Huanyu doesn't have many heirs, but the princess has six or seven sons. But there are only three, Xiahoujing, Xiahouyan, and Xiahouchang who is not yet ten years old."

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, "Then what does the prince plan to do? Let it go?"

Prince Jing didn't answer for a long time. He stared at the emerald hairpin on top of Yunshang's head for a while, and then said lightly, "Let it go, why not let it go? Since I'm going to Xia Country, I'm going against Xia Huanyu's wishes at this time. It’s sad. What’s the matter if I let it go? Since I can catch it once, I can catch it the second time, and the third time..."

After another pause, Prince Jing sighed faintly, "This matter has dragged on for too long, and it's time to understand."

Knowing that he was talking about the previous two cases, Yun Chang asked curiously, "The prince has already found out?"

Prince Jing lowered his head and glanced at Yunshang, smiled lightly, hugged Yunshang and said, "I have found out, but I have to ask Princess Wang to help put on a show..." As he spoke, he and Yunshang slowly talked go to the backyard,

In the early morning of the second day, at the gate of Dali Temple Minister's mansion, two women were suddenly found lying down in the middle of the gate. body, looked closely, but almost fainted. After calling the guard in the mansion to raise the lantern to see the appearance of the female corpse clearly, Dali Siqing trembled all over, and hurriedly called the guard to carry the two women to the mansion.

"Master, this one is not dead yet, this one is still alive." When the nurse moved one of them, he suddenly found that the woman still had a little bit of faint breath, so he hurriedly said.

The Minister of Dali Temple rushed over to take a look, and if he was still breathing, he quickly ordered his servants to invite the doctor, but he himself hurriedly got on the soft sedan chair and headed for the palace gate.

After entering the palace, he didn't wait in front of the Jinluan Hall, and went straight to the Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Ning just got up and was dressing. He frowned when he heard the servant's voice, and then turned to Mr. Zheng, "He must have something important to come to Qinzheng Hall so early. , announce it."

Manager Zheng responded, turned around and said, "Xuan..."

The door was opened, Dali Siqing hurriedly walked behind Emperor Ning in a few steps, and knelt down.

"Let's talk, so early, what's the important thing?" Emperor Ning stretched out his hand and let the maid put the dragon robe on him, his voice was flat.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this morning, when I came out of the mansion, I found a female corpse and a woman in a coma lying in front of the mansion gate. I turned the female corpse over and saw that it was Princess Huajing. The state of death was very miserable. I am in a hurry, so I dare not delay, and hastened to report to the emperor." Dali Siqing's voice was slightly trembling, and his breath was also a little unsteady.

Emperor Ning froze slightly, "Who? Hua Jing?"

The Minister of Dali Temple hurriedly put his head on the ground again, and said in a low voice, "It is Princess Huajing."

"Where are you now?" Emperor Ning turned around and looked at Dali Siqing, his brows were slightly frowned, and there seemed to be some darkness in his eyes.

"Weichen moved Princess Huajing and the unconscious woman to Weichen's mansion, and he has invited a doctor." Dali Siqing replied in a low voice.

Emperor Ning was silent for a moment, then turned to face Mr. Zheng, "Proceed with the decree, and the morning court will be canceled today." Mr. Zheng quickly responded, and hurriedly left the Hall of Qinzheng. The cancellation of the morning court is a major event, and he must go in person Proclamation.

The palace servants had already put on the dragon robe for Emperor Ning, and Emperor Ning walked back and forth in the hall twice before turning his head and saying to Dali Temple Qing, "I'll take a look with you, come and prepare the car." He strode towards the outside of the hall.

Dali Siqing responded quickly, and hurriedly followed.

Hua Jing's body was placed in a wing room in the Dali Temple Qingfu, and it was placed on the bed. There was also a soft couch in the wing room, and the woman lying on the soft couch was the woman who was discovered together with Ning Huajing earlier.

Emperor Ning stared at Hua Jing's corpse in silence for a long while, then turned his head to look at Dali Siqing, "Has Wu Zuo come for an inspection?"

The Minister of Dali Temple quickly responded, "After the inspection, Wu Zuo is waiting outside the door, do you want to pass it on?"

"Let's pass it on." Emperor Ning said indifferently, Dali Temple Minister flirted with the attendants at the side, and quickly brought a mahogany chair over, bent down and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down."

Emperor Ning nodded, sat down on the chair, and saw Wu Zuo coming in, walked slowly to Emperor Ning and saluted, Emperor Ning asked, "How is the test going?"

That Wuzuo hurriedly said, "Princess Huajing died in a very miserable state. There are also many scars on her body, there are traces of whips, and there are also trails crossed by thin knives. Her fingers were also pinched and tortured. Moreover, Huajing The princess seems to have been hit hard in the abdomen, causing the fetus in the womb to fall, but what really killed Princess Huajing was the wound on Princess Huajing's neck, which should have been struck by a sword, and the blow was fatal."

Emperor Ning's hand was on the armrest of the chair, and his brows had not been loosened since he just left the palace, and now they were even tighter.

"Any other discoveries?" Emperor Ning's voice was calm.

That Wu Zuo hurriedly said, "Wei Chen found this on Princess Huajing..." Wu Zuo took out a few items from his sleeve and handed them to Emperor Ning. The servant at the side quickly picked it up, and opened it one by one for Emperor Ning to see.

"I found out that there are letters and tokens from the third prince of Yelang Kingdom, as well as letters from the rebel minister Li Jingyan." Wu Zuo said softly.

Emperor Ning nodded, his eyes fell on the letters in the servant's hand, he read each letter carefully, he didn't speak for a long time, he just said indifferently, "Put it away."

Emperor Ning's eyes fell on the woman lying on the soft couch. The woman was dressed in a maidservant. Emperor Ning felt that the maid looked familiar, so he didn't speak for a while.

Dali Temple Minister hurriedly said, "The doctor has already treated this girl just now. This girl seems to have been insulted by someone, and her lower body was seriously injured. It's just that she fainted because she was too tired and she hadn't eaten for a long time. She should She will wake up soon. Or, Weichen, ask the doctor to prescribe some stimulating medicine for this girl, so that she can wake up earlier."

Emperor Ning nodded slightly, with a bit of thought in his eyes.

Dali Temple Minister hurriedly went down to make arrangements, and after a while, he took a medicine bag and put it on the nose of the unconscious woman on the soft couch. After a while, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and screamed, "Princess , princess, you will be fine, this servant will take you away, take you back to the palace, take you to find the emperor..."

"What are you looking for?" Emperor Ning opened his mouth slowly, his voice was a little low, which made the woman startled, and suddenly fell silent. The woman turned her head to look at Emperor Ning, she was stunned for a while, but her expression suddenly became agitated, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save Princess Huajing, the third prince will kill her, kill her to silence..."

When Emperor Ning heard the words, he frowned again, and said coldly, "Why did the third prince kill Princess Huajing?"

The servant girl fell silent all of a sudden, bit her lip and stayed for a while, her eyes seemed a little wet, before she opened her mouth, "This servant girl is Qingmei, the maidservant of Princess Huajing in Princess Ningguo's mansion. She used to accompany Princess Huajing After entering the palace, the emperor should have seen the servants too. After Princess Huajing returned to the imperial city a while ago, she said that the servants in Yelang Kingdom were not serving them well, so she sent the servants over. Princess Huajing was actually very early. Arriving at the imperial city, living in the Qianshui Pavilion in the city, the prince of Yelang dotes on the princess very much, but the princess is a little unhappy, the servant finds that sometimes someone will come to the princess in the middle of the night to talk to the princess, and the servant will stay in the side room Waiting in the midst, the princess thought the slaves had fallen asleep, but in fact the slaves heard it."

Qingmei bit her lip, and then continued, "The person who came to find the princess said to let the princess act earlier, saying that the third prince can't wait, and the slaves don't know, so they pretended not to know anything."

"Later, within two days, the princess went to Ningguo Temple with her servants. In fact, she didn't do anything in Ningguo Temple. When she returned to the imperial city, there were two more monks." Qingmei paused and said, " Later, something happened above the palace banquet, the princess was locked in the dungeon, but the slave was kidnapped. After the slave was kidnapped, it was discovered that the person who kidnapped the slave was Prime Minister Li. The slave also did not Thinking of meeting Princess Huajing at Prime Minister Li's place, Prime Minister Li only ordered the slave to take good care of Princess Huajing, and the slave stayed by the princess' side all the time. Later, the yard where we stayed caught fire, and the slave and the princess escaped together , I saw Prime Minister Li and a young man who was with him surrounded by a group of men in black. The servants were afraid, so they hurriedly pulled Princess Huajing and ran away. Halfway along the road, they met a group of men in black clothes. The one with the knife didn’t look like a Ningguo person, Princess Huajing said we were saved, and those who held the knife took the servant and Princess Huajing away together.”

When Qingmei said this, her body began to tremble, and she continued after a while, "The princess and the servants thought they were saved, but they didn't expect that after we were taken to a courtyard, those people arrested the princess and tortured them. They were asking the princess, where is the contract? The princess was tortured severely, so she told the whereabouts of the contract, but they were unwilling to let the princess go, took the wooden stick, and smashed the meat in the princess' belly. The child was aborted, and he scolded at the same time, saying that he wanted to give birth to the third prince, and he deserved it?"\u003c
