Zu An entered the palace that night, went directly to the East Palace to find the Crown Princess, and told her what he had found out.
Although Zu An should be under "house arrest" in the palace now, what does that have to do with the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Clothes Messenger?
Moreover, with this outfit, the journey into the palace was smooth, and the embroidered messengers had a notorious reputation, and no one wanted to have anything to do with them.
Even when he arrived at the East Palace and met with Bi Linglong in private, no one in the East Palace raised any objections.
After all, the Xiuyi Messenger is a secret intelligence agency, and what they communicate must be confidential. Who among the eunuchs and maids in the entire East Palace would dare to listen?
Looking at the dark red robe and the ferocious mask in front of her, Bi Linglong was a little lost. After a while, she sighed: "I am more accustomed to the clothes of the gold medal eleven."
Back in the secret realm, the two of them worked together to deal with Zhao Hao's split soul, and they lived and died together. There is no secret anymore.
After coming out, because Zhao Hao was a big enemy, the two of them exchanged the resources and energy they had with each other during a tryst in order to better integrate intelligence.
When she learned that the other party also had the identity of Gold Medal Eleven, Bi Linglong was so happy that she almost fainted.
You must know that when the Demon Cult assassinated her, she was almost killed on the spot. Fortunately, she was saved by Gold Medal Eleven. The two of them had several subsequent contacts, and she unknowingly developed a fondness for the mysterious gold medal embroidered garment.
However, in the secret realm, his body was handed over to Zu An by mistake. The two fought bloody battles and couldn't help but fall in love with him.
Emotions are naturally not comparable to those of a gold-medal embroidered man whom you have only met a few times.
But for some reason, in the dead of night, when she thinks of that person, a faint feeling of regret rises in her heart.
right
Fang is like a white moonlight he encountered when he was young. Because he is full of regrets, he will never forget it.
However, after having Zu An, she still buried that shadow deeply in her heart, treating it as a secret she would never tell.
Because of this matter, she often felt guilty. She always felt that she fell in love with two men at the same time and was really not a good woman.
——As for Zhao Ruizhi, that silly fat guy, she has never regarded him as a man.
Who knew that the two people I like are actually the same person!
She still remembers the huge impact of happiness at that moment. No wonder she felt that there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity between the two of them. They turned out to be the same person.
She was particularly emotional that night. She changed her usual shyness and took the initiative to pester him all night long.
Zu An smiled: "When I see you from now on, I will always wear gold medal eleven clothes."
"Okay." Bi Linglong's face turned red, and her heartbeat accelerated a bit.
The two chatted for a while, and Bi Linglong returned to business. She knew that this was a good opportunity to attack the king, so she hurriedly ordered the ministers loyal to the East Palace to be summoned to the palace overnight for discussion.
A group of people discussed for several hours. After Bi Linglong sent everyone away, they found that Zu An had disappeared.
"Momo, where is he?" Bi Linglong asked.
"Which her?" Rong Mo was startled.
"Of course...ahem, it's the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Clothes Messenger." Bi Linglong thought to herself that this maid seemed to be getting more and more stupid.
"He has left long ago."
"When did you leave?"
"It's probably when the empress summons those ministers."
Hearing this answer, Bi Linglong felt disappointed that she had left like this
morning.
She couldn't help but feel a little resentful. She didn't know if it was her misunderstanding. This time he came back and was very estranged from her.
Thinking of the strange questions he asked her before, she frowned slightly. Could it be that something happened that I didn't know about?
…
On the morning of the second day of the morning court, many ministers were discussing on the road. What happened today? They actually started the morning court and summoned all the ministers to go.
You must know that when the emperor is here, he does not have to go to court every day. Since the battle of Zishan, he has not gone to court for a long time.
For many things, one has to either go to the East Palace to ask the Crown Princess for instructions, or go to Kunning Palace to ask the Queen for instructions. Where does one need to go to court?
When all the officials were standing in the Jinluan Hall, the prince finally came belatedly. Looking at his angry mouth, he was obviously reluctant. In his mind, going to court was not as interesting as fighting crickets.
But everyone needed him, the titular Prince of the Supervisory State, to sit there, and they were also afraid of the Crown Princess, so they had to come.
Immediately afterwards, the Crown Princess and Liu Ning hung up the curtains to listen to the government. After all, they were female dependents, so they still had to be separated from the other ministers by bead curtains.
After the fixed procedures of the morning court were completed at the beginning, the ministers of the Meng family and the Dai Wang faction took the lead in launching an attack. They brought up the old story of the murder of King Jin again and asked the court to severely punish the murderer Zu An.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zu An, but they found that the old god was always there, as if he didn't care about this matter.
Many people frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong.
Sure enough, an official from the East Palace came out to refute: "The Empress sent an embroidered messenger to investigate this matter before, and the result must have been obtained by now."
The queen glanced at Zu An from afar and thought to herself, this guy is really handsome, just standing there
It makes people feel hot all over.
She smiled slightly: "Come here, let the messenger of embroidered clothes send someone to reply!"
Of course she knew that the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Clothes Messenger was standing here, and she went out of her way to help him smooth things over.
Soon a silver medal embroiderer arrived, and when Zu An saw it, he turned out to be Xiao Jianren, and his injuries seemed to have improved a lot.
At this time, Xiao Jianren came to the conclusion that King Jin died of anger and there was no external injury on his body, and the whole court suddenly exploded.
"A shady story, there must be a shady story here!" Dai Wang couldn't help but scolded him first.
Meng Yi frowned slightly when he saw this. He, his son-in-law, was too impatient. How could you personally do this kind of thing? Look at what the Queen and the Crown Princess want to do. He never expresses his position easily.
They are all under the control of their subordinates, and they are in a position where they can advance, attack, retreat or defend at any time.
His daughter controls him so strictly that he doesn't even understand these things.
It's a pity that Chan'er is a girl and can only marry this idiot.
At this point, he could only give his subordinates a look, and many ministers began to cooperate with the acting king:
"Yes, so many people saw King Jin die in Zu An's hands, how could there be no external injuries on his body?"
"Wei Chen applied to send people from the Ministry of Punishment and Ting Wei to inspect it together."
…
Hearing the excitement of the crowd below, an official under the East Palace sneered: "Are you questioning the impartiality of the embroidered messenger?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent instantly, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Jianren, whose eyes were cold at this time.
Although the other party is just a silver medal, at this moment he represents the entire Xiulou.
What kind of evil stars are the messengers of embroidered clothes? I don’t know how many ministers have been raped in recent years.
They have ruined their families and people, who dares to offend them.
Seeing that the others were silent, Meng Yi had no choice but to say: "Of course we are not questioning the embroidered messenger, but this matter is related to the death of the prince and the prince, so we should be more cautious."
With him taking the lead, many people echoed: "Yes, we should let people from the Criminal Department also investigate."
"I would rather suggest Jiang Tingwei to investigate in person. Mr. Jiang has always been fair and is the spokesperson of the law. Everyone sees it."
…
Bi Linglong frowned slightly, the power of King Dai and the Meng family was greater than she thought.
We didn't realize it when we worked together to fight against King Qi before, but now we realize that the other party has secretly attracted so many people.
At this time, Xiao Jianren spoke: "You want to send someone else to investigate. We at Xiulou have no objection. However, if we come to the same conclusion as us afterwards, do all the adults who made the noise today want to go to Xiulou to make amends?"
"
Hearing what he said, the ministers who were clamoring just now all stopped. Who dares to put his own wealth on the line?
King Dai was not afraid and snorted coldly when he saw this: "I dare to bet you that the people from the Criminal Department and Tingwei had better be joined by all the people from Jing Zhaoyin and Sili Xiaowei, so that no one can lie.
"
If anyone can handle these different departments at the same time, then his power is no less than that of the emperor, and everyone is still arguing.
As for the threat from the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, he didn't take it to heart. He was a prince, so could they still dare to arrest him in the Embroidered Building?
Thinking that the good thing with Princess Jin was interrupted last night, and that the guardians around him were also arrested by their commander, he looked at the embroidered messenger
Extremely unpleasant to the eye.
Xiao Jianren snorted: "Don't worry on behalf of the king, this matter has a lot to do with you."
"What do you mean?" Dai Wang's heart skipped a beat.
"According to our investigation, the reason why the King of Jin targeted the Murong family, the Qin family, and finally went to the ancestors this time was actually because someone had ulterior motives and secretly provoked him. Speaking of which, this instigator was the one who really caused Jin's death.
His Royal Highness's murderer." Xiao Jianren replied coldly.
Hearing this, the entire hall was in an uproar, and the ministers under the East Palace looked at the king one after another.
Others also looked over subconsciously. Among the ministers who can stand in the Golden Palace, who is not a human being? After thinking about it for a moment, it is clear that the king is the biggest beneficiary of this matter. In other words, he has the most sufficient motives. These days
He was jumping up and down about this matter, obviously he was too concerned about it.
At this time, Bi Linglong smiled slightly: "May I ask who is the mastermind behind this?"
Xiao Jianren uttered a few words coldly: "This is His Highness the Acting King!"
King Dai felt cold all over, but Meng Yi was furious: "That's nonsense. Do you know that falsely accusing the prince is a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan!"
At this time, the queen who was in charge looked at Zu An, and then her eyes fell on Xiao Jianren: "Is there any evidence for what you said?"
Xiao Jianren turned around and saluted: "Report to the Queen, I have some evidence here."
As he spoke, he presented the testimonials from the servants of Prince Jin's Mansion last night and from other witnesses around him.
The queen took one look at it and handed it to the ministers for circulation.
It states that on a certain day of a certain month and year, Princess Dai and King Dai visited King Jin one after another and roughly said something. King Jin then became angry and stormed out.
This is what happened to the palace.
"These are just random bitings by servants. They don't count as evidence. Princess Jin knows best how our couple treats Prince Jin's younger brother. She can testify for us." Dai Wang said hurriedly.
What the Queen wanted to say, Bi Linglong had already said first: "In that case, Princess Jin!"
