The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 41 Breaking News
The third watch had passed, but the whole of Prince Jing's mansion was brightly lit.Especially in the main hall of the palace, sixteen large lanterns were hung, illuminating the whole hall as bright as day.

However, this was not in vain for Prince Jing's bleak face.

In the past, the good-natured Prince Jing was sitting in the hall. Although he was wearing several layers of brocade jacket and fox fur, his figure was still thinner than ordinary people, and now he was even more desolate.He stared at the object on the ground with a dull face, his blue lips trembled slightly, his hands raised and then fell weakly.

The side concubine Huang and the eldest daughter Yun Ruochen, the daughter of Princess Huarong, were at the top respectively. They both looked at Prince Jing silently, waiting silently for his instruction.

There were dozens of people standing and sitting in the whole hall, but they didn't even hear a cough, everyone held their breaths for fear of causing trouble.

"Ugh……"

Prince Jing let out a long sigh, raised his hand to cover half of his face, the corners of his eyes were a little red.

He didn't get much warmth from his parents since he was a child, and he never expected the brothers from the Tian family to be as close as ordinary families.

However, even though he also has a desire for the throne, at most he only wants to perform well so that his father can look up to him.But his brother tried to suppress and persecute him again and again, and now...even...

He remembered the words of his teacher Gu Yuan.

"Your Highness, you must fight for the throne. Otherwise, it will be a doomed situation."

It turned out to be true.

He has a cowardly personality, subconsciously always wants to avoid fighting, and relies on his teacher and his companions wholeheartedly for many things.But now he finally knows that from today onwards, he can no longer escape.

His eyes moved to the other corner of the hall, and looked at the court lady Ruifang who was lying on the ground and tied up like rice dumplings.Ruifang cried and screamed when she was tied up, but when she was taken to the living room and saw the doll box dug up, she immediately passed out.

"...Xu Banban, report to the Shuntian Mansion and the Clan Mansion!"

After a long silence, Prince Jing gave instructions to his companion Xu Heng.There was endless exhaustion and boredom in his voice, even though he had just started fighting for the position, he already felt very tired.

It's finally going to be big...

Prince Jing still had a brain, and he didn't intend to calm down and keep the matter at home.It's better to make a fuss!

While Yun Ruochen breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but stepped forward and held his father's hand, wanting to give him some comfort.

Her gentle and cowardly father is really not suitable for living in this whirlpool of intrigue and conspiracy all the time.He has such a soft heart and a simple mind... He really should be a private school teacher, relying on the students' training every month, even though he is poor, he may not be unhappy.

However, fate did not give him a chance to live in poverty and leisure.

Everyone can't choose his origin, no matter it's noble like a prince, or humble like a domestic slave, even her Yun Ruochen.They can only accept the starting point given by fate, work hard to pave the way for the future, and move forward step by step.

Prince Jing felt a warmth in his cold palm, he looked up in astonishment, and found that his eight-year-old daughter was holding his hand tightly, her clear eyes were full of worry.

"Chen'er..."

A faint warm current rose in Prince Jing's heart, and he couldn't help pulling his daughter into his arms, and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid. Father will protect you."

"Well, Chen'er is not afraid."

Yun Ruochen snuggled into his father's arms, not without being moved.

He is not a capable father, but he also has a heart that wants to protect his daughter.It doesn't matter, father, your wings may not be able to protect me from wind and rain, but I am already very satisfied.

Concubine Huang bowed her head not to look at the tenderness of the father and daughter, feeling a little sour in her heart.In King Jing's mind, he probably will never be able to compare with Yun Ruochen.

However, Concubine Huang is an old-fashioned woman after all. Although she longs for her husband's love and affection from the bottom of her heart, she will not show it on her face anyway.And she also understood that Prince Jing only loved his daughter, but he didn't have much affection for the deceased concubine, which somewhat comforted her.

She didn't lose to another woman, but she just lost to a family whose blood is thicker than water, right?
His Royal Highness King Jing has too few heirs, so he attaches too much importance to the only child.Things will definitely be different when her son is born! ——
As soon as the sky turned white, the heavy news of the witchcraft case at Prince Jing's Mansion last night exploded in the capital.

The chief executive of the capital city, Shuntian Fu Yin, and the clan order of the Clan Mansion both personally dispatched to take over the case.Even the old emperor in the deep palace was alarmed, and issued a secret decree to the clan mansion to investigate thoroughly.

Emperor Yuan Qi didn't mind his sons fighting openly and secretly for the throne, but he also had a bottom line.As a senior superstitious person who has practiced Tao all the year round, his tolerance for witchcraft is lower than that of ordinary emperors.

Because I believe, I am more afraid.

King Cheng couldn't stay silent this time, otherwise he would have committed the blame.After the last time when the refugees attacked King Jing's other courtyard, people in the capital began to talk about how cruel King Cheng was, and how he wanted to harm his own brother—although he did, but he did not do the refugees , he really didn't want to admit it!
The last time he ate the dead cat, he endured it, and who knew it would happen again.

This time, King Cheng clamored to find out the truth louder than anyone else, he almost didn't kneel in front of Emperor Yuan Qi and wept bitterly, swearing to the sky that he had never done it... If it worked, he would cry , It's a pity that his emperor's father has always been hard-hearted.

The witchcraft case in Prince Jing's mansion involved a lot.

Because the maid who buried the doll had left the palace, Emperor Yuan Qi expressed serious doubts about the safety of his inner palace.A vigorous investigation was launched. As for how many concubines and concubines Gong'e took advantage of this opportunity to come to Jinzhi to commit crimes, and how many wronged souls and how many high-ranking officials, it was difficult for outsiders to know.

In the court, King Cheng's family will try their best to clear the suspicion of King Cheng, and the people of King Jing's family will not let go of this opportunity to defeat King Cheng. The two sides are fighting openly and secretly.

Yin Cheng Lanxi of Shuntian Prefecture has become the busiest civil servant in Beijing this year, not one of them, because not only is he busy solving cases during the day, but he also has to receive big bosses from various parties at night. Being able to live in the government office means working overtime day and night.

I can't afford to offend, this case is too sensitive now, even if he is the chief executive of the capital city, he can't afford to offend so many forces!
There were fierce fights on the outside, but the key to the case was actually very clear, that was the court lady named Ruifang.Her confession is directly related to the progress of the case, and everyone wants to hold such an important witness in their own hands.

But Cheng Fu Yin is not a vegetarian, so how could he be so easily influenced by others.As the chief executive of public security and government affairs in the capital, although he is only a middle-level official of the third rank, he can directly go to the palace, how can a person of ordinary quality sit in this position.

He put the court lady Ruifang in the big prison, and arranged for the heads of the two rooms to watch her in turn, no matter who came, he would not be allowed to see her.But on the third day after the incident, when people from all walks of life in the capital were fighting happily, the court lady Ruifang who was about to be interrogated——

died.

The court lady, who hadn't said a word since she was arrested, let alone ate or drank, died quietly in the cell without any wounds on her body.

The autopsy results of the three gold medalists are: she died of poisoning.

After Ruifang's death, all the yamen servants on duty became the object of suspicion again, because she was searched when she was locked in, and it was basically impossible for her to hide drugs.After a rigorous investigation, the latest autopsy by the authors saved this group of desperate government servants.

Ruifang bit the poison pill hidden in her molars and died of the poison.

Ruifang's death made the case more complicated and confusing.She had long expected that she might be discovered one day?It can be seen that this matter has been carefully planned from beginning to end. Who is the instigator behind the scenes?
Her death made Cheng Wang's family more passive.After all, on the surface, the ultimate beneficiary of the murder of King Jing is undoubtedly King Cheng. Is there anyone else besides him?
In addition, some people linked this incident with the auspicious appearance in Prince Jing's mansion, thinking that King Cheng was desperate to kill his brother's family by any means.From a rational point of view, the logic is to fight for it, but it is impossible for Cheng Wang's family to sit still and wait for death.

All the people Ruifang had contact with before leaving the palace were quarantined and interrogated day and night, even her three companions who were sent to Prince Jing's mansion were not spared.At the same time, Nanny Zeng who was out of the palace was almost taken away by the Shuntian Mansion, but Yun Ruochen personally stopped the servants who came to ask for someone.

"I guarantee as the Princess Huarong of Daqing that my nun will never have any collusion with that maid. You can't take her away!"

Madam Zeng never expected that the little princess who had always criticized her strict discipline would stand up and speak for her.If Yun Ruochen defended her in front of Prince Jing last time and moved Nanny Zeng deeply, then Yun Ruochen's actions this time undoubtedly made Nanny Zeng completely subdued by Yun Ruochen.

Concubine Huang heard that Yun Ruochen was determined to protect Nanny Zeng, so she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't intervene.

The daughter of another family who is under ten years old naturally cannot make decisions in everything, but the status of their aunt in the family is different.If she insisted on Yun Ruochen handing over Nanny Zeng and causing some unhappiness with Yun Ruochen, Prince Jing probably wouldn't be on her side.

Suppressing the faint unhappiness in her heart, Concubine Huang turned her head and was busy examining the servants at home who had contacts with Ruifang.Ruifang probably didn't bring this puppet with her from the very beginning, perhaps there might be a young lady from the second gate to pass it on for her.And Yun Ruochen's three jade hairpins have not been found yet, and Concubine Huang has a lot of things to do, and Madam Zeng's matter is finally settled.

Yun Ruochen saved Nanny Zeng, but the fate of the others was out of her control.For example, the three innocent court ladies who were implicated.

However, Yun Ruochen is not the Holy Mother, and he will not take the responsibility for other people's disasters on himself.The thing is that she made a fuss quite well, but the reason was that someone ordered Ruifang to perform evil methods in Prince Jing's mansion.

She can't guarantee that everyone who is implicated can escape unscathed, she can only choose to protect her closest people.Political battles are like fighting on the battlefield. If you want to save everyone, you will not be able to save anyone, and you will even lose yourself.
