When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 66

"Mrs. Liang advised him to drink less, and usually Liang Shangshu gave him some face. But once he drank wine, he would go crazy and ignored it. After Mrs. Liang became pregnant, she wanted to keep the baby, so she didn't care about him. Unexpectedly ..." Jin Xi said this, and sighed, "I didn't expect the Minister of the Ministry of War to mess around after drinking and defile Mrs. Liang's dowry maid. In a rage, Mrs. Liang went to find Liang Shangshu to reason. Liang Shangshu was still drunk at the time. Mrs. Liang argued with him, which made him feel irritable, and pushed Mrs. Liang to the ground. At that time, Mrs. Liang was five months pregnant, and she saw red immediately. The child was not kept, and Mrs. Liang also..."

"Drinking is a mistake." Cheng Muqing sighed.

"Yes." Jin Xi nodded, "So today Liu Shangshu saw him drinking all the time there, maybe he thought of his sister and felt uncomfortable, so he had a few quarrels with him."

"Get back to business." Cheng Muqing signaled her to continue talking about the case.

"Then Jin Yingwei called Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment to question him, of course Liu Shangshu said it wasn't him." Jin Xi said, "But the Feiying who questioned said that when Liang Shangshu left the banquet, Liu Shangshu also left the banquet. Of course, this doesn’t explain anything, there are too many people leaving the meeting.”

"But Fei Ying also said that Liang Shangshu should have been held in the water and then arranged to drown." Jin Xi said, "The time of death was almost at Xu time, and at that time, a palace lady happened to see Liu Shangshu. His clothes were soaked. Liu Shangshu said that it was because a court lady poured water on him."

"Where's the palace maid? Could it be that I can't find it?"

"Yeah." Jin Xi nodded, "Today is really evil, I don't know why... there are so many palace ladies with strange movements."

"Yes." Cheng Muqing rubbed his temples, "And then? How did Lin Yan solve it? Grab Liu Shangshu?"

"No." Jinxi shook her head, "Later, a slave... pleaded guilty."

"Slave?" Cheng Muqing looked up at her, "The scapegoat?"

Jin Xi shook her head, "That man is Liang Shangshu's personal servant."

Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Quan Li said that the murderer was originally a servant of Liu's family. Later, when Miss Liu got married, he went with Liang's family as a dowry. There was an old mother and two children on the man. Liang Shangshu did not treat him well. , but never missing anything. No matter how you look at it, he has no motive for committing the crime. But princess, guess why he said he wanted to kill Liang Shangshu?"

"Why?" Cheng Muqing smiled, "Could it be that it's written in the storybook? To avenge the one you love?"

"That's right!" Jin Xi nodded repeatedly, "That's what he said to Jin Yingwei and the crown prince."

"I didn't admit it at the beginning, why did I wait until Liu Shangshu was found out?" Cheng Muqing laughed, "Is he taking others for fools?"

"He said that he didn't want to watch Liu Shangshu because he was suspected." Jin Xi explained, "He also said that Madam Liang cared most about her elder brother, and if Liu Shangshu's official career was hindered because of this. He went to the underworld, and he was speechless to Madam Liang. "

"Hmm..." Cheng Muqing leaned back on the teacher's chair, picked up a book and flipped through it, "But what he did is more suspicious."

"The Ministry of Punishment belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince. The addition of such a scapegoat now makes the truth confusing. His Highness the Crown Prince must be devastated." Jin Xi said.

"He's really busy today." Cheng Muqing curled his lips, "Tonight, send a greeting card to the East Palace. Let's see if the Crown Princess will be free to see me tomorrow afternoon?"

According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, the bride will go to Zhengyang Palace to serve tea the next morning, and let people rest in the afternoon.

"Yes."

"What about tomorrow morning?" Cheng Muqing asked again, "Isn't this time coming?"

Say who will arrive.

There was a knocking sound from the pear-blossom wooden window, three long and two short.

Pug walked over and pushed the window open.

Mingchen jumped into the room and bowed to her.

"Please sit down." Cheng Muqing stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Mingchen didn't sit down, but lowered his head and reported to her, "Ah Feng usually behaves in a well-behaved manner. But... always let his subordinates stay outside and get along with the prince alone. Sometimes, the prince still will throw him out."

"Get out?" Cheng Muqing raised her eyebrows. In her impression, Lin Heng didn't seem to express her dissatisfaction with A Feng.

"Yes." Ming Chen nodded, "My subordinate suspects that Ah Feng has a face in front of you. But in front of the prince, he has another face... just the one in secret, and has never been shown to us."

"So, you think there's something wrong with him?" Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, leaned back with a rather relaxed expression.

"If the concubine doesn't think there is something wrong with him, how can I let my subordinates rush over from the Hou's mansion?" Ming Chen said calmly, "How can I restrain my edge, not fight or grab, and stay by the prince's side without any sense of presence?" ?”

Isn't all this just to observe A Feng secretly?
Cheng Muqing couldn't see any joy or anger on his face.

"What happened to the banquet today?" Cheng Muqing asked, "Shouldn't you be by the prince's side too? Why did the prince leave with Ah Feng?"

"Ah Feng asked his subordinates to go down to fetch water, and when his subordinates came back, the two of them had already disappeared." Ming Chen replied, "Ah Feng will always avoid me on purpose."

"Then be careful recently, don't startle the snake." Cheng Muqing urged.

"Yes." Mingchen bid farewell and jumped out of the window again.

"Princess..." Jinxi stood to one side, her face full of shock.

"What?" Cheng Muqing smiled.

"Princess! Since you doubt...why?" Jin Xi said dryly, with a puzzled expression on her face.

Aren't you afraid that something might happen if you still let Ah Feng stay by Lin Heng's side despite having doubts?
"You also said, I'm just suspicious." Cheng Muqing said, "If he is friendly, it's best to stay with the prince. If not, then we also need to know his purpose. Since he wants to get close to Lin Heng, then we Let him approach...Anyway, tomorrow morning is here, nothing serious will happen."

"Princess, you are too bold!" Jin Xi said, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

No wonder the concubine asked her to investigate A Feng last time... so she was suspicious at that time?
"Since you've heard it all, you should know what to do." Cheng Muqing smiled, "I didn't want you to know, but I heard from Bai Lu and the others that you and A Feng..."

"No!" Jin Xi quickly vetoed, "I have nothing with him!"

Her voice trembled a little.

Cheng Muqing gave a "hmm" and said, "Go back and rest."

The room was quiet for a moment.

"Slaves leave..."

Jinxi exited the room, and just as she closed the door, a stone hit her on the head.She was in pain, turned around, and saw A Feng outside the courtyard at a glance.

I don't know where he got the strength to throw the stone on his head from such a distance.

"What are you doing?" Jinxi bit her lip, trying to control her emotions.

"I just came to see you." Afeng smiled, "Princess suffered a lot today, are you okay?"
