auspicious time has come

Chapter 228 How is it now?
After a moment of silence, the prince said: "This case is so important that it is not appropriate to draw a conclusion lightly. However, Jiaque Yehu once spoke unkind words to Xiao Jie's envoy at the banquet, and Mrs. Xiao had an accident at this time, and Ye Hu Claiming that the scar on the neck was caused by Gong'e, and the close-fitting bracelet was also stolen by Gong'e, but the identification was wrong, and it is difficult to justify it. All these are really suspicious—"

The prince's eyes gradually became firm: "Therefore, I also invite Jiaque Yehu to stay in the palace until the whole truth is found out."

"I see which of you would dare!" Jiaque's neck turned red and he struggled.

The prince didn't waver at all: "Take the two of you down."

The forbidden army responded and took Jia Que and his subordinate under arrest.

Hearing the gradually receding scolding voice, Heng Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at the people present again, and silently scanned the faces with different expressions.

From the beginning to the end, she just watched from the sidelines and never said a word. Even if Jia Que uttered nonsense at the banquet tonight, Princess He Dong pointed it out.

She just wanted to see how the situation would develop under "letting nature take its course", and what kind of situation it would eventually develop into—

In this way, it is easier to judge.

Jia Que was taken down, but the investigation of other people did not stop there.

Just as the prince said just now, this case is so important that no conclusion can be easily drawn.

And if there is a choice, from the most simple point of view, the prince must also be the one who is least willing to draw conclusions on this matter-disposing of Jia Que at this time is almost equivalent to declaring war on the Turks.And this is tantamount to making matters worse for Dasheng today.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Many family members of officials attending the banquet were able to leave the palace one after another until the sky brightened.

Some people who had left the meeting during Madam Xiao's accident were still detained in the palace for questioning.

After such tossing, when everyone came out of the palace, they all looked tired, but no one dared to complain.

Even those who had never attended the banquet, after hearing a little bit of wind in the middle of the night, they almost stayed up all night, waiting for the news from the palace with tense hearts.

When the morning light first appeared, Heng Yu went out of the palace with Princess Yongyang, and Ji Nanxian stayed in the East Palace to take care of everything and could not escape.

Princess Yongyang pulled Heng Yu into the carriage of Princess Changfu's mansion, and held her in her arms in the carriage, comforting him softly.

Heng Yu leaned against her, and when he closed his eyes, his eyelashes were still trembling.

After a long time, she spoke the first words after getting into the car: "Your Highness, I want to visit the Hou Mansion."

The girl's voice was soft and hoarse, and Princess Yongyang nodded slightly in agreement: "Okay, then go and have a look."

The wheels rolled over the bluestone road with the slight morning tide, and finally stopped in front of the gate of Dingbei Houfu.

At the signal of Princess Yongyang, Qizhen accompanied Hengyu to get off the carriage.

In the carriage driven behind by Cheng Ping, Cui Huai jumped out of the carriage, and quickly stepped forward to help her daughter.

Hengyu stood in front of the gate of Dingbeihou's Mansion with a dazed expression.

Since coming to Beijing, in order to avoid suspicion in front of others, she has never been to this Dingbeihou Mansion in the capital in person.

Now when I came here for the first time, my eyes were completely blank.

Overnight, the Dingbeihou's Mansion was in mourning, and the gate was tightly closed.

Hengyu's chest was painfully blocked, and he didn't know what was going on behind the closed door.

Cuihuai stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, a servant in mourning opened the door, but he opened his mouth and said: "My Lord Marquis told me that today the mansion will not welcome guests, please go back."

Seeing this, Hengyu hurriedly said: "Wait, I have something urgent, if Xiaohou is inconvenient, please send a message to Vice General Yin, I'll just wait here—"

Glancing at the carriage in the Princess's mansion, the servant hesitated for a moment: "Dare to ask your lady's name?"

"Yankang Fangji's house——"

"My lady wait a moment."

The servant came to the mansion to communicate, and Heng Yu was able to see Yin Hai soon.

On the surface of Yin Hai, there was no longer the freedom and casualness of the past, with a mourning belt around his waist, bloodshot eyes, he raised his hand to salute Heng Yu: "Painter Ji."

"He doesn't even see me?" Heng Yu looked in the direction of the mansion, seeing glaring white.

"Painter Ji..." Yin Hai was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "The general has specifically confessed that if you come, let me persuade you to come back... Last night, Painter Ji tried his best to save his wife in the palace. It's very eye-catching, at this moment, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place, secretly speculating about the relationship between Painter Ji and the Hou's Mansion... The general is doing this to try not to implicate Painter Ji and your mansion."

Heng Yu pursed her lips slightly, and then said: "Vice General Yin doesn't need to explain a lot, I understand. I just came here this time to know, but now he..."

She paused before asking, "how is he now?"

Yin Hai was silent for a moment before answering: "Not very good."

Hengyu's eyelashes trembled, and she looked at Yin Hai fixedly.

Yin Hai also looked at her, and said: "The general has countless old wounds, and he was just recovering before he entered Beijing, and the medicine has not been healed yet...Under this kind of blow, grief and anger hit the heart, affecting the viscera, even an hour ago. Vomited blood."

Heng Yu clenched his ten fingers under the sleeves slightly, his tone was a little eager, and he did not forget to lower his voice: "His previous injury was treated by Grandpa Bai... I will let Uncle Ping go back first, and bring Grandpa Bai here secretly." This is for him to see!"

Yin Hai saluted her again: "That's why I would like to thank Master Ji."

"Madam was murdered, the real culprit has not been punished, he must not have another accident..." Heng Yu's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at the mansion again: "Take care of him."

Yin Hai replied: "Painter Ji, don't worry."

Heng Yu withdrew his gaze little by little, turned and left with Qi Zhen and Cui Huai.

Back on the carriage, she fell on Princess Yongyang's shoulders, tears streaming down her face silently.

Princess Yongyang hugged her, her eyes were also red, she sighed and said softly: "Silly boy, you have tried your best, and many times life and death can't be controlled by anyone... The next thing to do is to help Xiao Xiao." Ma'am, seek justice."

Heng Yu hugged her back, tears became more and more violent.

"Cry if you want to cry." Princess Yongyang stroked her back gently, allowing the girl to vent the grief that had been suppressed all night in her arms.

……

When Hengyu returned to Ji's house, everyone in the family was very anxious, and they all gathered in the front hall to wait.

Yu Shi, who planned to stay at her mother's house for a period of time, heard the news early in the morning, and rushed back with Gu Tingnan with her baby before dawn.Seeing Heng Yu's return at this time, her eyes were red and swollen, and she lost her soul, Yu even unconsciously lowered her voice: "Xiao Yu'er, Mrs. Xiao really..."

Hengyu raised her eyes to look at her sister-in-law and grandmother, sister, she was unable to speak for a moment when she met those gazes.

Seeing her like this, everyone in the Ji family has an answer.

Although the answer was almost unsurprising, the hall was still plunged into oppressive silence for a moment.
