Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

After a brief silence, Emperor Chongrui smiled comfortably and said:

"Tell me, what did you ask just now?"

Seeing that Emperor Chongrui didn't intend to blame him at all, Jia Chen relaxed slightly, and said with a calm smile:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after my inquiry and analysis, I can confirm one thing."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Chongrui urged impatiently: "Speak quickly."

The corners of Jia Chen's lips raised slightly, and said:
"Your Majesty Zhou has ulterior motives, so he must have something to do with the second prince's disappearance."

Emperor Chongrui nodded in agreement.

Just now nobleman Zhou actually wanted to frame Jia Chen, which shows that nobleman Zhou was guilty of a crime, he jumped the wall in a hurry, and wanted to frame Jia Chen first, so as to escape Jia Chen's interrogation and investigation.

Because of Jia Chen's unparalleled wisdom, if Jia Chen continues to preside over the case, sooner or later the truth of Zhou's murder of the second prince will be revealed.

If it were someone else who presided over the case, there would be no need for Zhou Guiren to make such a bad move.

It's a pity that the presiding interrogator is Jia Chen, who is extremely scheming.

In desperation, Zhou Guiren had no choice but to use a beauty trick.

But Jia Chen's heart was like a rock, and he remained unmoved.

Zhou Guiren had no choice but to frame Jia Chen for molesting himself.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongrui was not a fool, so he easily saw through nobleman Zhou's tricks.

I have to say that although Emperor Chongrui was a little out of tune, his mind was still bright and he was not an idiot.

Emperor Chongrui asked, "Jia Aiqing, what key information did you ask?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Chen replied with a firm expression:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I just pretended to tell Mr. Zhou that the second prince has been found.

When the minister said this, Zhou Guiren showed concern, and asked the second prince what happened? "

Emperor Chongrui asked coldly:
"Then how did you answer?"

Jia Chen said: "My minister said that the second prince is safe and sound. After Mr. Zhou heard this, doubts appeared on his face."

Hearing these words, Emperor Chongrui's expression darkened, and a flash of resentment flashed in Yan's eyes.

It seems that the second prince is in danger.

The second prince should have been killed by nobleman Zhou and others, so when Jia Chen told nobleman Zhou that the second prince was safe and sound, nobleman Zhou showed a puzzled look.

This hateful vicious woman!
Emperor Chongrui wished he could peel off her skin and stretch her tendons right now!

But Zhou Guiren's accomplices have not been found out yet, so Emperor Chongrui can only bear with it.

Although there is no definite evidence, he already believes most of it in his heart.

Zhou Guiren is one of the masterminds behind the murder of the Second Prince!

Emperor Chongrui said sharply:

"Your Majesty Zhou is just a woman, and she lives in the palace. She definitely can't assassinate the second prince by herself. There should be an accomplice. How are you going to find out her accomplices?"

After the words fell, Jia Chen thought for a while and said:

"Your Majesty, only after confirming the identity of his accomplices can he be caught."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chongrui hurriedly asked:

"Jia Aiqing is unparalleled, what can you do?"

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high, but I did come up with a plan."

Emperor Chongrui said impatiently:

"Then tell me in detail!"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Chen came up to him and said something cautiously. …

"Good! Great idea!"

Emperor Chongrui's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he nodded in approval and said:
"Just follow your plan!"

"Wei Chen obeys!"

Jia Chen saluted.

After a while, Zhou Guiren came to the main hall again after tidying up his appearance.

However, to her surprise, Emperor Chongrui and Jia Chen were no longer in the hall.

Between doubts, Zhou Guiren waited alone in the hall.

In the empty hall, she was the only one sitting withered, and the temperature seemed to drop a bit.

Sitting anxiously for a while, Zhou Guiren's eyes moved around the hall.

After looking around a few times, her eyes suddenly fell on Emperor Chongrui's dragon chair.

Somewhat oddly, there was a ball of paper on the ground there.

what is that?
Could it be a note written by Jia Chen to Emperor Chongrui?
Could it be related to the second prince?
The more Guiren Zhou thought about it, the more flustered he became.

She looked around and saw no one, so she ran over with a low waist, leaned over and picked up the paper ball.

After reconfirming that there was no one in the hall, she hid behind the door and carefully unfolded the note.

There are not many words on it.

Only a few names are written:
Prince Zhongshun, the old concubine, Zhou Jun, Wang Shouli.

Seeing the names of these people, Zhou Guiren's eyelids trembled and his face turned pale with shock.

Because of the high status of Prince Zhongshun, he even competed with Emperor Chongrui for the throne.

And Zhou Jun is her grandfather, and Wang Shouli must also be an important member of Prince Zhongshun's party.

In fact, Prince Zhongshun is the mastermind behind the murder of the second prince!
Through the connection between these names, Zhou Guiren immediately understood that Emperor Chongrui might have noticed something!
Perhaps Prince Zhongshun has already been suspected.

But do you doubt yourself?

Zhou Guiren still has a little luck in his heart.

At this moment, the palace door was suddenly pushed open.

A figure stepped in.

A majestic voice suddenly sounded in the ear:

"My concubine, what are you looking at?"

Hearing this, Zhou Guiren's complexion changed drastically, and he followed the prestige, but saw Emperor Chongrui standing beside him at some point.

Oops!

It was discovered!

Panicked, Zhou Guiren hastily squeezed the ball of paper in his hands, and murmured:
"It's nothing, the concubine just memorized some calligraphy experience that Mr. Jia taught me."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongrui deliberately snorted coldly and said:

"Then Jia Chen actually played tricks on you! This traitorous minister, what do you remember about his experience? From now on, you are not allowed to mention him in front of me!"

"The concubine obeys!" Zhou Guiren was overjoyed and quickly responded.

This is really a surprise.

Unexpectedly, his poisonous plan really worked!

Emperor Chongrui squeezed the center of his brows, and said a little tiredly:

"Forget it, don't mention that bastard, it's useless to spoil your mood, Mr. Zhou, let's go and rest. I still have important things to deal with." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand.

Guiren Zhou was eager to leave quickly, and immediately blessed him with a salute: "Yes! The concubine resigns!"

After speaking, she turned and left.

However, just a few steps away, a majestic voice suddenly came from behind:

"Wait a minute."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongrui actually stopped her.

Hearing these two short words, Zhou Guiren's heart trembled, his breathing stagnated, his blood flowed backwards in fright, his back felt cold, but he turned around and said softly:

"The concubine is here, what is your majesty's order?"

After the words fell, Emperor Chongrui just took a deep look at her, waved his hands and said:

"Forget it, you go ahead and talk about it later."

What does this mean, Your Majesty?

Zhou Guiren didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he turned around and left quickly.

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Chongrui's gourd, Guiren Zhou felt a little uneasy.

But she didn't realize how cold and resentful Emperor Chongrui looked at her behind her.

Like a beast ready to eat her alive.
