Chapter 143 The Emperor's Personal Trial (3)
"What the prince said is very true, and my minister also thinks so in his heart." The eldest prince Yu Wenzhu quickly echoed, he is in a good mood today, so the look in the prince's eyes is quite friendly.

Yu Wentai glanced at the fake eyes of the eldest son, and was quite displeased in his heart, but it was a good thing for his son to speak in unison, so he said: "According to the prince's play."

Concubine Liu De didn't say a word, she quietly watched the actions of the group of people, especially the crown prince's, and cast a sidelong glance at him, only to see that the crown prince bowed his head to drink tea, but he didn't even look at Xun Zhen from the corner of his eyes, It doesn't look like he has anything to do with this court lady?A quarter of an hour ago, she was still wondering whether the prince's series of actions were all for the maid in front of her?Now the prince did not act out of line, so he shook his head secretly, even she couldn't see the mystery behind this act.

Xun Zhen felt a little uneasy. She was attacked yesterday. Did those court ladies have the same experience as her?If those palace maids were all dead, then she would really become an orphan, secretly analyzing the various possibilities brought about by this situation in her heart.

Sure enough, just as Xun Zhen thought, Dali Temple Qing came in with a cold sweat on his forehead, and reported, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die, those maids hanged themselves out of fear of crime."

what?
Everyone was taken aback, especially Concubine Feng Gui. Didn't that person report to her last night that these palace maids were all dead?The first person she went to kill was Xun Zhen, and she left after missing. Who killed those court ladies?At this moment, she tightly squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand. This kind of situation is not what she likes to see, and the uneasiness in her heart spreads like a lake wrinkled by the wind.

"It can be seen that they all committed suicide in fear of crime. Your Majesty, the spices in the sachet that Yi Chenqie saw that were not good for Concubine Shu's sister must have been done by these people. This is conclusive evidence." Concubine Feng quickly said.

Xun Zhen looked at Concubine Feng Gui, "Your Majesty, the slaves don't see it that way. Your Majesty thinks that they committed suicide in fear of crime, but the slaves think that they were killed by others, and someone wants them to die. Let's do this as soon as possible." In the past, besides, the slaves and maids had the same experience last night, Your Majesty, you are a wise king, please investigate clearly and return the slaves and maids to their innocence."

Yu Wenchun looked at his mother dissatisfied, and the first few words made him think that she would agree to help him, but who knew that she was going to beat Xun Zhen to death with a stick, so he said: "Father, my son thinks that mother and this servant What you say makes sense, but everything has to be based on evidence, Xun Zhen, I want to ask you, you said you were assassinated by someone, but can there be witnesses, otherwise it is your one-sided statement." He secretly wiped his neck.

Xun Zhen glanced at Yu Wenchun, she could not testify against him, otherwise what he said for her would no longer be powerful, but seeing his private actions, she immediately understood and opened the collar , showing the red mark caused by the masked man's white silk, and said with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, the strangle mark on this servant's neck has not disappeared. It can be seen that this servant is not lying. Someone broke into the prison last night. Intent to kill slaves. Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, can someone come and test whether the injury is real or not?"

Yu Wentai's face became heavy, could someone go to assassinate the prisoners in the prison?Is there a king's law in mind?It's really hateful, and he said again, "Come here, let her have her injury."

Yu Wenhong winked at the person who inspected the injury, and the person pulled Xun Zhen knowingly, frowned and said: "Father, at first, I just thought that the miscarriage of Concubine Shu was very suspicious. Thinking that so many things could be involved, Er Chen would like to bring someone to examine those dead bodies to see if they hanged themselves? Or were they killed and then put on a hanging posture?"

"Yes, yes, what the crown prince said makes sense." The eldest prince agreed again, and then hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "My son is also willing to make a trip to find out the truth for the emperor."

The sullenness in Yu Wentai's chest dissipated a little, and he nodded, "I will be more at ease if your brothers come forward."

Only then did Yu Wenhong and the eldest prince stand up, salute and leave.

"Your majesty, I am very pleased to see the princes are so respectful as brothers and sisters." Empress Tang said, she was disliked by the emperor just now, and now is the right time to say this.

Yu Wentai nodded slightly, and the quarrel with his wife just now passed without a trace, which made the phoenix on Empress Tang's face even more full.

"Seeing the gestures of the princes, the courtiers are very envious." Concubine Liu De's tone was slightly disappointed.

Yu Wentai looked at her, "Concubine De, don't envy others, I will visit your bedroom more often."

As soon as these words came out, the several concubines present all looked sideways, seeing the shy look on Concubine Liu De's face, and clenched their pink fists even tighter, they were still thinking about inviting the Emperor's favor at this time, Concubine Liu De is really good means.

Empress Tang had long known that the emperor's so-called love was nothing more than that. Many years ago, she didn't care about it and she didn't care about it. The good days of Concubine Shu might be over, so she took a sip of tea to hide her disdain and coldness. Of course.

Xun Zhen, who was taken down for medical examination, came back to the palace and just saw the scene where the concubine was fighting for favor. He was slightly surprised. It turned out that the emperor's love for Concubine Shu was nothing more than that. Concubine Shu had just had a miscarriage. If you want to spend more time with other concubines, the implication in these words is very obvious. Thinking that Yu Wenhong will also be an emperor in the future, is he also this kind of unlucky person?
At this time, her heart was slightly cold. Sometimes he was kind to her and cared for her, but the next moment he was sneering and sarcastic, with a cold expression on his face. Is the emperor's love also like this?
Hot and cold, who can stand it?
It's all at the juncture of life and death, she still has the heart to think about these things, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly, what does the prince have to do with her?It's still reasonable to think about how to escape to be a genius later, and in an instant, her face changed.

Looking up, she noticed that the caring eyes in Yu Wenchun's dark eyes looking at her were obvious, and her heart warmed. The Seventh Prince was still a very trustworthy friend, and she secretly gave him a reassuring look, and then stood there neither humble nor overbearing.

The eunuch who examined her wounds bent down and reported, "Your Majesty, the injury on the maid's neck is undoubtedly a strangle mark, and judging from the depth and color, it can be seen that it happened last night, and it was caused by a tight stranglehold." Caused."

"Your Majesty, this proves that what the servant said is true. If it were not for the fate of the servant, I am afraid that he would have become a dead body at this moment." Xun Zhen's clear voice sounded in the hall.
