Can’t scare the snake away

"Did you do anything in the palace?"

King Jin frowned, but he didn't find this out.

"Yes, the villain's aunt used to be the maid in charge of a certain nobleman in the palace. She suddenly left the palace more than ten years ago for unknown reasons."

"She had no children in her life, and then she became seriously ill and didn't have long to live. It happened that the villain was about to get married, so she gave all her years of savings and some belongings to the villain."

Hearing this, King Jin nodded, then frowned and asked, "How do you say your aunt is dead?"

"Well, he died of illness not long after leaving the palace."

"Then do you know what her name was in the palace?"

Since she is the maid in charge of a certain nobleman, she should have left many traces in the palace.

"This, I don't know, my aunt has never mentioned it. After she left the palace, she rarely mentioned things in the palace."

For example, why she keeps secrets about matters in the palace, and as the maid in charge of a certain noble person, she is an absolute confidant. Under normal circumstances, such a person would rarely leave the palace without her master.

I felt even more unsure.

"How about asking for something?"

"But, it must be able to be delivered."

The person who appeared next was a surprise to them.

"Let's go to Chengyuan Villa."

"Master, what is going on? How could we provoke a prince?"

As soon as King Jin entered the door, Lu Yaoyao asked curiously.

"Take your time and look for opportunities. You can't reveal anything at the moment."

"Well, you are more familiar with the palace than me, so I can't help you much."

He originally thought that he was arrested because of the food harvesting incident, but the appearance of King Jin just now made him feel that something was completely wrong.

King Jin smiled, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, it's been so many years, there's no rush to investigate."

Although the information he just received from Zheng Youcai was not much, some of it still made him feel that it was unusual.

In the Shuntian Mansion Prison, Zheng Youcai was a little trembling after being brought back to the cell.

King Jin did not answer directly, but gestured to Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yu beside him.

This is true. Although there is currently no problem with Emperor Hongwen's performance and attitude, there are still many suspicions.

Soon the carriage slowly left the capital and headed straight for Chengyuan Villa.

"Then do you remember the specific time she left the palace?"

The person who came was none other than their cousin, the person in charge of the Luo family in the capital.

"Oh? What?"

After he left Shuntian Mansion, he originally planned to go directly to the palace to investigate the matter, but then he thought about it and stopped.

"Your Majesty, are we going to the palace or returning to the palace?"

This is true, they have tried many times in the past two days, and the guards in the cell did not miss anything.

Then he reported the time, and the King of Jin secretly noted it down. Then he did not continue to ask questions and asked the guards to take Zheng Youcai down again and lock him up.

"And I think her death was also very strange. Maybe it was not a disease, but murder."

Hearing this, Prince Jin did not answer but walked to sit across from her. He waited until Qiu Shuang brought the bowls and chopsticks, and then said, "I didn't get much, but it reminded him of something."

If we continue to alert the snake and it is completely wiped out, it will be extremely difficult to investigate it again.

The second issue is, of course, why the jade pendant that belonged to his father suddenly appeared in the hands of Aunt Zheng Youcai.

Zheng Youcai is completely out of ideas now.

Zheng Youcai nodded quickly. Of course he remembered this. You must know that his family was still very poor at the time and he was about to get a wife. He was very worried. Fortunately, his aunt came back suddenly.

"To a certain extent, after all, he is the ultimate beneficiary of this matter. If I say that I have no doubts, you won't believe it."

Although Lu Yaoyao trusted these two people very much, after all, this was related to the secrets of the royal family back then, so it was better for them to know less about it.

This allowed his family to have money to do things.

Lu Yaoyao understood immediately and said to the two of them, "You should go down and have a meal first."

After listening, Lu Yaoyao nodded in agreement and said, "Your suspicion is not unreasonable."

Seeing his expression, Zheng Youcai, who was originally full of surprises, immediately showed fear on his face, and his eyes began to dodge.

I saw him smiling and handing some pieces of silver to a guard. The moment he turned to look at them, his face became very gloomy.

Didn't you say that you were going to interrogate Zheng Youcai? Why did you suddenly come here?

"No, we still have to find a way to send a message to my cousin. He is the only one who can save us."

Prince Jin nodded and said, "And she didn't mention a word about the affairs in the palace. She didn't even reveal her name in the palace."

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"The villain also asked me about it before, but she kept it secret. She didn't say anything and didn't let the villain pry around."

After thinking about it, he felt that this matter should not be rushed, lest others notice the clues, and then cover up the few clues again.

After hearing this, the two people nodded quickly and left.

So could this person be the person behind the death of the late emperor and the Duke of Zhen Guoquan taking the blame?

If we go to the palace now to investigate the personnel situation more than ten years ago, will we alert the enemy?

"Why is he here?"

Just the final beneficiary is enough to make people suspicious.

"If we were to alert the enemy, I'm afraid that what happened back then would just go to waste."

"Since we have this suspicion, let's investigate, but we have to keep it secret. Who knows if that noble man still has an informant in the palace now?"

"I thought so too, so I was not in a hurry to go to the palace, and I don't think His Majesty can be involved in this matter."

Just when the two were desperate, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

After the two men retreated, King Jin shared the news he had received from Zheng Youcai, as well as some of his own speculations.

It was dinner time, and as soon as Lu Yaoyao sat down at the table, Qiu Shuang came to announce that King Jin was coming.

"First of all, the time when Zheng Youcai's aunt left the palace happened to be around the time of the late emperor's death. Secondly, how did she get the late emperor's jade pendant in her hand."

So many years have passed, and there are very few clues left, and they are still scattered and confusing.

"So how are you going to investigate this?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded and said, "Do you still have doubts about him?"

If she can get in touch with the emperor, then the status of the nobleman behind her should not be low.

He actually knew that some of his actions were wrong, but he had no choice but to lose all his savings over the years. He was really unwilling to do so and always wanted to try other opportunities.

"Humph, I'm really becoming more and more capable now."

Mr. Luo's cold voice was full of anger.

He really didn't want to take care of this cousin with a brain problem, but he had no choice but to ignore it. His aunt had told him to take care of him before she died.
