As Concubine Wan spoke, she cried uncontrollably, and soon passed out with a cry. The emperor frowned, hugged Concubine Wan quickly, and asked for the imperial physician. The imperial physician examined her pulse and said that Concubine Wan was excessively sad, and her anger was attacking her heart. To. The emperor comforted Concubine Wan and asked her to have a good rest. He would personally supervise Dali Temple to handle the case. The emperor returned to Chengxin Palace and sent people to summon King Duan and Su Yuan to come over. King Duan looked sad. Walking in, before she finished speaking, she could not control the tears she shed. "Father, I did not expect that things would happen so suddenly. Jiarong... Although she has been a bit arrogant and domineering recently, she After all, it’s Princess Nan Chu. Someone dares to take action against Jiarong at the risk of offending the royal family’s authority. That person clearly doesn’t take the father seriously.”

The emperor became angry when he mentioned this. King Duan's words spoke to his heart. No matter what, Jiarong was his daughter. Someone dared to blatantly poison a member of the royal family. This was a blatant attack. Are you provoking him, the emperor? He looked at Su Yuan with a deep look and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any progress in the case? I remember clearly that Concubine Wan called more than ten guards to protect Jiarong. After the accident, what about the more than ten guards? Where are they?"

Su Yuan knelt on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the more than ten guards are missing. Wei Chen asked people to search the entire Kyoto city, but no trace of them was found... "The emperor's eyes were filled with anger, and he fiercely swept down the tea cup on the desk at hand. "Check, check it for me... How can a good living person disappear out of thin air? I want to live and die. See the corpse. In addition, according to my decree, these ten guards neglected their duties, causing the princess to be killed. They violated the majestic imperial power of our Southern Crown Prince's royal family, and specifically killed nine tribes... This shows that our Southern Crown Prince's majestic imperial power will never tolerate others. Wanton provocation..." Regardless of whether these ten guards are alive or dead, he will use this to scare the monkeys, so that the murderer behind Jiarong's death can take a good look at how the emperor is angry and his corpse is floating hundreds of miles away. This is an imperial edict. It can be said that it set off a huge wave of bloodshed. Countless people lost their heads, and countless families suffered this catastrophe, resulting in a tragic end of family destruction. For a time, everyone in Kyoto City was in danger, and they were all speculating. , who killed the princess? Who dared to violate the imperial power and kill members of the royal family. Naturally, Concubine Wan refused to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she dragged her sick body, knelt in front of the emperor, and took the initiative He pointed the finger at Xiao Tingyan and the General's Mansion. "Your Majesty, there is something that I must report to you. Yesterday Jiarong came into the palace and wanted to see your majesty. In fact, she has an important matter to report to your majesty."

"Unexpectedly, when I learned that you had favored Ren Xue, I was a little impulsive and didn't mention the incident about Jiarong. Now that I think about it carefully, I may be able to find out the murderer of Jiarong and provide the information for Your Majesty. Some clues..." The emperor put down the book in his hand and looked up at Concubine Wan. He stood up and wanted to help Concubine Wan get up. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan shook her head with red eyes: "Jia Rong is dead. I feel very uncomfortable. .Your Majesty, just let me kneel down and let me do something for her."

"I don't have a daughter. During this time, I really treated Jiarong as my daughter. She left suddenly like this... I feel so sad that I don't want to live."

The emperor watched Concubine Wan cry, and his heart was so soft that it was beyond words. She was the woman he had loved after all... He ignored Concubine Wan's refusal and pulled her up resolutely, and then asked someone to give her a seat. He took the veil, Wiping Concubine Wan's tears with gentle movements. "Speak slowly if you have anything to say... I will definitely avenge Jiarong and will not let her die miserably."

Concubine Wan burst into laughter and snuggled into the emperor's arms. Then, she talked about the incident yesterday when Jiarong was ordered to go to the general's mansion to pick up someone, but was blocked by Xiao Tingyan. The emperor couldn't help being slightly startled: "The king of the banquet was really on the spot. He asked someone to beat Jiarong." "Yes, King Yan not only stopped Jiarong from apprehending the people in the general's palace, but also beat Jiarong, showing off his power. No matter how much he was the emperor's uncle, Jiarong was also a princess of the same country. ...It is really too much for him to let a slave humiliate Jiarong like this."

Concubine Wan said angrily. The emperor narrowed his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes. "What happened next?"

"Later, the King of Banquet killed several imperial guards on the spot... Jiarong was frightened to death and did not dare to confront him head-on. He even took the people away and entered the palace. Your Majesty, I suspect that Jiarong's death should be It has something to do with the King of Banquet... and it can’t even be separated from the General’s Mansion.”

Concubine Wan said solemnly. There was a hint of anger in the emperor's eyes. "King Yan is really brave. Jiarong was just following orders, but he actually had someone beat Jiarong and kill me without saying a word." The imperial guard. He clearly knows that he doesn't take me seriously..." "When someone comes, please immediately banquet the king into the palace. I want to ask him carefully what he wants to do, does he want to rebel? In addition, instruct Su Yuan to focus his investigation on King Yan and the General's Mansion... Jiarong's death is absolutely inseparable from them."

A smile flashed across Concubine Wan's eyes. If Jiarong's death could be used to bring down King Yan and the General's Mansion, it would not be a good thing. I hope King Duan and Su Yuan can be more powerful and not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An opportunity to overthrow the King of Banquets... When Xiao Tingyan received the emperor's summons, he didn't feel any surprise. There was a dark light in his eyes, and he asked people to take a bath and change clothes, and set off into the palace in court clothes. When he was on the carriage , Divine Doctor Lu hesitated and looked at Xiao Tingyan and asked: "Your Majesty, the death of Princess Jiarong..." Xiao Tingyan knew what he wanted to ask, so he interrupted him and immediately replied: "Her death has nothing to do with me... In fact, I am also very curious about who killed Jiarong."

Divine Doctor Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He reminded again and again: "Your Majesty, at this critical moment, we must not be impulsive. We must do it slowly..." He suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't help but frown and asked: "Your Majesty, this Jia Princess Rong, could it be someone from the General's Mansion who killed her?"

Xiao Tingyan shook his head, his fingers gently stroking the jade ring on his thumb. "They are not from the General's Mansion. Our people are guarding outside the General's Mansion day and night. If there is any movement from them, I will definitely You will receive the message."

Doctor Lu's eyes were full of confusion: "Then who killed Jiarong? In addition to enmity with the General's Mansion, did she also offend other enemies?"

This seems to be a mystery that makes people puzzled. Xiao Tingyan stared deeply, and he couldn't figure out who killed Jiarong. However, he did feel that someone would use this to try to blame this person. There were some things on his head that he had to prepare in advance. Xiao Tingyan turned to look at Shi Li: "Are you all ready?"

Shi Li nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

"Okay..." Xiao Tingyan then leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Doctor Lu stopped asking questions and disturbed the prince's rest. About half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the palace gate. Xiao Tingyan jumped off the carriage and went straight into the palace. , went to Chengxin Palace. When he arrived, the emperor was still calming Concubine Wan's emotions. Seeing this scene, Xiao Tingyan raised his eyebrows, and a bit of surprise flashed in his eyes. Unexpectedly, Jiarong's death made Concubine Wan regain her confidence. Obtained the emperor's favor? It has to be said that Concubine Wan is really quite capable. When the emperor saw Xiao Tingyan coming, his face immediately darkened. "Tingyan, are you here? Regarding Jiarong's death, have you heard anything about it?" What do you want to say?"

Xiao Tingyan raised his eyebrows, raised his lips and looked at the emperor with a smile. "Brother, what do you want to say? Just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."

The emperor looked at his calm and indifferent attitude, and his heart was inexplicably filled with unknown fire. He looked at Xiao Tingyan with a stern face. "Ting Yan, let me ask you, Jiarong's death, does it have anything to do with you?" Does it matter?"

Xiao Tingyan sneered, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. "If my brother said that there is no relationship, would you believe it?"

Concubine Wan couldn't hold it anymore and immediately raised her voice: "King Yan, do you think it doesn't matter if you just open your mouth and say it doesn't matter? Yesterday, you led people to not only prevent Jiarong from arresting the people in the General's Mansion, but you actually had people beat him up. She. She is a princess of a country. If you don't give her face like this, aren't you slapping His Majesty in the face?"

"Jiarong injured someone in the general's palace. You beat her and you still couldn't get over it, so you sent people to intercept her carriage in the middle of the night, took her outside Kyoto, and strangled her alive. No. We know what the situation was like when the child Jiarong died. She must have been in great pain and helplessness...crying for father to save her life."

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but his eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Tingyan: "Tingyan, now that things have happened, you still want to shirk your responsibility and refuse to admit it. Did you kill Jiarong yourself?"

Xiao Tingyan felt it was extremely ridiculous. He couldn't help but sneered: "Brother, you are indiscriminately blaming Jiarong's death on my younger brother? Dali Temple hasn't found out the cause of the matter yet, so you just Because of Concubine Wan’s few words, I’m going to be convicted like this?”

"If my father were still alive, he would probably be so angry that you would have to commit suicide."

The emperor's eyes were full of annoyance: "You...you are so presumptuous."

Concubine Wan was extremely angry, pointed at Xiao Tingyan and scolded: "Xiao Tingyan, you are really getting more and more arrogant and domineering..." Xiao Tingyan sneered and replied: "Isn't the arrogant and domineering person not Concubine Wan? In my opinion, Jiarong's The death should be your fault, Concubine Wan. You took advantage of Jiarong's confrontation with me and wanted to use her death to suppress me."

Concubine Wan's eyes turned red with anger, and her chest kept rising and falling violently. "You...I didn't. Don't slander anyone."

Xiao Tingyan suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. "Concubine Wan also knows that talking about things that are empty and unfounded can lead to spewing blood. Then you just looked at me in front of me in front of the emperor. Medicine, isn’t it just a mouthful of blood?”

Concubine Wan was speechless for a moment. She looked at the emperor at a loss. The emperor opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Tingyan with a cold face: "Brother, I advise you to speak. You must think carefully before you say anything. As the king of a country, you easily judge others' guilt without any evidence. Isn't it too hasty and childish?"

"If you want to blame Jiarong's death on me, then bring evidence to make me shut up. If there is no evidence, you can just slander me with empty words and try to make me confess. That's not possible. Presumably, our more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the North will not agree."

Concubine Wan pulled the emperor's sleeve and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Xiao Tingyan is really too arrogant. Does he not take you seriously at all now?"

"He actually used the 100,000 troops from the North to threaten you. It's really unreasonable."

Xiao Tingyan stared at Concubine Wan coldly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes. The emperor felt extremely unhappy. For so many years, Xiao Tingyan had always been very submissive to him. I don't know what happened, but Xiao Tingyan's attitude today was like this. Tough. Before he said anything, his reaction was so loud. He kept saying one sentence after another, and each sentence seemed to have the smell of gunpowder... At this moment, Eunuch Zhou came in from the outside with an unclear expression and reported: "Your Majesty, Hui The concubine is asking for an audience outside the palace..." The emperor frowned, with a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "What is she doing here at this time?"

Concubine Wan suddenly stood up and said to the emperor quickly: "Your Majesty, please quickly ask someone to bring sister Hui Concubine in... Jiarong is her daughter, a piece of flesh that fell from her body. Jiarong is now tragically killed. Death, her mother must be very sad."

"Sister Huifei must have heard that the culprit, King Yan, was here, so she wanted to avenge Jiarong."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Tingyan coldly, and then he asked Concubine Hui to come in. Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui came in not to accuse Xiao Tingyan, but to ask the emperor to take a look at Xiao Xuanming. The emperor couldn't help but be startled, and Concubine Wan's eyes were even brighter. A bit of surprise passed through her. She walked up to Concubine Hui and held her hand. "Sister Concubine Hui, has something happened to Prince Ming? Did he feel sad when he heard that Jiarong was gone? Body?"

Concubine Hui was a little afraid of Concubine Wan. She couldn't help but take a few steps back when she came closer. She almost didn't dare to look into Concubine Wan's eyes. "Tomorrow is not about Jiarong's injured body, but because of Jiarong's injuries last night. He stabbed Ming'er with a dagger. Originally, the imperial doctor had already looked at him, but today, Ming'er's injury suddenly worsened."

Concubine Wan was startled, but she didn't expect that this happened yesterday? Jiarong stabbed Xiao Xuanming? How is this possible... Just Jiarong, that idiot, would she have the courage to stab her own brother? So does the emperor. Unexpectedly, Jiarong actually hurt Xiao Xuanming. He frowned and his eyes flashed with worry: "How is Prince Ming doing now? Is there nothing the imperial doctor can do to save him?"

Concubine Hui's tears flowed down uncontrollably, and she shook her head slowly: "The imperial doctor said that Ming'er's injury is too deep, and I'm afraid the chances are bad."

"I really don't know what to do. Jiarong is that rebellious girl. She didn't care about the feelings of her brother and sister and hurt Ming'er without hesitation. I really wish I had never had this daughter."

Concubine Wan frowned and replied disapprovingly: "Sister Concubine Hui, how can you say that? I think Jiarong is quite well-behaved and obedient. It is impossible for her to kill her brother... …Is there any misunderstanding here?”
