The full-level boss really doesn't want to be green tea anymore

Chapter 58 Procrastination
Shuang Feichen remained silent, still looking as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Seeing this, Wen Moyan quickly answered, "His Royal Highness, you are too sensitive. Whenever you involve King Qin and King Xiang in anything, you feel that it is not good for you. But if you think about it carefully, it is not good for you right now." Who is it? Of course it is the murderer who tortured and killed the maid in your Tongque Garden. Your Highness, don’t you want to find the murderer?"

Shuang Yuanxiu froze on the spot, showing a belated expression.

Yes, he always felt that Shuang Feichen and Shuang Yuanxing were framing him.

But think about it from another angle, if what Hu Po and Xu Qing said is true, then all those maidservants he let go all these years really died in his Tongque Garden?
Who did that?
Shuang Yuanxiu looked at Shuang Yuanqi subconsciously, because only Shuang Yuanqi was particularly lustful in his eyes.

Shuang Yuanqi, who had been silent all this time, was slightly taken aback, and then said with some displeasure: "Second brother, what do you think I am doing, I have only been to the Tongque Garden a few times in total?"

Shuang Yuanxiu licked his lips, feeling that the matter was not simple, he faced Emperor Xuanwu, cupped his hands and said: "Father, Rong Erchen will check this matter again."

Without waiting for Emperor Xuanwu to respond, King Shuang Yuanxing of Xiang said, "Why do you need my second brother to investigate? The people from Prince Qin's mansion and the guards of Tongque Garden are confronting each other in Fengqiyuan. As long as my second brother opens the door, let us search for it." The cellar of Fengqiyuan, the answer is naturally clear."

Shuang Yuanxiu sneered and said: "Joke, Tongque Garden is my place. I have lived here and there many times. If there is a cellar under Fengqiyuan, I wouldn't know? Don't talk about it."

Shuang Yuanxing also sneered: "Oh? Since the second brother is so sure, let us search!"

"Search! Just search! But let's smear it first, if we can't find any evidence, what should you do?" Shuang Yuanxiu looked very confident.

Seeing this, Shuang Feichen looked at him and asked back, "What do you think, second brother?"

Shuang Yuanxiu curled his lips and sneered: "If you can't find it, it means that you are too weak to take charge of the Ministry of Punishment. You should be an idle prince."

In other words, if Shuang Feichen didn't gain anything, Shuang Yuanxiu asked Shuang Feichen to hand over the right to control the Ministry of Punishment.

Shuang Feichen didn't hesitate, and immediately responded: "Okay, if evidence is found, it means that the prince has committed the same crime as the common people. If it is not received, everything will be handled by the emperor and the second brother."

Shuang Yuanxiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded: "Okay, one word is..."

"Wait!" Emperor Xuanwu narrowed his eyes slightly, interrupting Shuang Yuanxiu's words.

Shuang Yuanxiu said with some dissatisfaction: "Father, you have to help Lao Qi in everything. Could it be that Father also thinks that my son would do such a cruel and immoral thing?"

Seeing this, the Empress could not help but reprimanded: "Zi Heng, shut up!"

Shuang Yuanxiu pursed his lips and said, "Father calm down, my son said something wrong."

Emperor Xuanwu closed his eyes, looked over the heads of the crowd, and looked at the sky outside.

Eunuch Chen by his side comprehended, took a small step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost dawn, and I guess all the lords have already started entering the palace. Look, do you want to go to court first, and then deal with this matter?" "

Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said: "Place them in the side hall, and go to court to deal with business first."

After Emperor Xuanwu finished speaking, he stood up and took the queen back to change into the dragon robe.

Everyone standing in the Longteng Hall had their own thoughts. Except for the prince, everyone knew that His Majesty delayed the early court just to help the prince Shuang Yuanxiu.

Feng Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the main hall, saw that the emperor was about to leave, and couldn't help but want to shout: "Your Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking here, Wen Moyan answered: "Go slowly, and see you off to Your Majesty!"

As soon as she said respectfully, everyone said in unison: "Respectfully, Your Majesty."

Wen Moyan watched Feng Xiaoxiao shake his head vigorously, Feng Xiaoxiao pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Emperor Xuanwu naturally saw this scene, glanced at Wen Moyan with a half-smile, and then strode away.

-

Side hall.

Emperor Xuanwu changed his clothes in the side hall, and the empress served in person.

Prince Shuang Yuanxiu was also called in for questioning.

Shuang Yuanxiu knelt on the ground, complaining endlessly about what Shuang Feichen did to him, every sentence was rebuking Shuang Feichen, and he didn't pay attention to him as the prince at all.

Emperor Xuanwu heard it impatiently, frowned and reprimanded: "Enough, I just want to ask you a question, will your Tongque Garden survive the search by soldiers?"

Shuang Yuanxiu was slightly taken aback, then widened his eyes and said with great aggrievedness: "Father doesn't trust my son? My son is definitely not a treacherous person! How could he kill those girls?"

Emperor Xuanwu stretched out his hand to push aside the empress who was tidying up his clothes, and walked slowly to Shuang Yuanxiu.

Under the coercion of the emperor, Shuang Yuanxiu lowered his head subconsciously.

But Emperor Xuanwu said coldly: "Raise your head and look at me!"

Shuang Yuanxiu raised his head, looked at Emperor Xuanwu, and repeated: "Father, my son really didn't kill anyone."

Emperor Xuanwu frowned and stared at him. A moment later, Emperor Xuanwu suddenly raised his hand, and with a crisp slap, he slapped Shuang Yuanxiu on the face.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Father calm down!"

The Empress and Shuang Yuanxiu knelt on the ground together, both terrified.

Emperor Xuanwu said coldly: "Zi Heng, don't play word games with me, you didn't kill them, but you did have a relationship with them, didn't you?"

This time Shuang Yuanxiu didn't refute, but just buried his head lower.

Emperor Xuanwu snorted coldly: "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, you think they are all maidservants in your Tongque Garden, as a prince, it doesn't matter if you sleep with one or two maidservants. But don't think about it carefully , one or two of them, who can climb the bed of the crown prince, who would willingly leave the Tongque Garden and return to the hometown to work in agriculture? Ziheng, you are so stupid."

Shuang Yuanxiu froze in place, he suddenly understood what Emperor Xuanwu meant.

Emperor Xuanwu asked him whether the Tongque Garden could withstand the search, not because he suspected that he was the murderer.

Instead, he felt that this incident was true, and felt that the testimony of Xu Qing and Hu Po was not arbitrarily slandering.

In other words, he didn't do it, and it doesn't mean that his subordinates didn't do it.

"Could it be...Could it be Song... Butler Song?" Shuang Yuanxiu, who had been filled with righteous indignation, showed a nervous expression at this moment.

If Steward Song really did such a cruel thing in the Tongque Garden, then when the news got out, everyone would definitely accuse him, the master, of the crime.

He... Isn't he helping people take the blame for no reason?

When the time comes, people and gods will be outraged, and the stigma will spread all over the sky. How can he, the crown prince, sit still?

Emperor Xuanwu has so many sons, it is not impossible to change one.
