Chapter three hundred and sixteen offering suggestions
Zhao Xingzhi frowned and looked up at Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu's eyes were full of shock and anger, and she didn't feel guilty at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Xingzhi's brows immediately relaxed. He ignored the third prince's accusation and calmly said to Zhao Qian: "Father, the repeated confessions of this palace maid are suspicious."
Zhao Qian squinted his eyes, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, "Continue."
Zhao Xingzhi knelt on the ground, straightened his back, and said with cupped hands: "Yue Wan first identified Concubine Lan as the mastermind behind this. The so-called evidence, apart from her one-sided statement, is only a jade bracelet."
As he said that, Zhao Xingzhi glanced at the fragments of the jade bracelet on the ground, and continued: "Of course I can't believe Yue Wan's words alone, and as for this jade bracelet..."
Zhao Xingzhi looked at Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan reluctantly calmed down and realized that Zhao Xingzhi was not just trying to excuse Concubine Shu, so she said: "The jade bracelet does belong to me, but I did not reward her with the jade bracelet. It was stolen."
No matter what, Concubine Lan insisted that the jade bracelet was stolen.
She gave this jade bracelet to Yue Wan for two or three days with a red face to reward Yue Wan for causing Concubine Shu to become allergic.
But now, Yue Wan must not be involved with her. If she doesn't tell people, it will easily make people suspect that the matter is related to her.
If His Majesty were to know that she had placed people in other palaces, he would probably dislike her in the blink of an eye.
Who knows that Your Majesty likes to be gentle and knowledgeable, but such behavior has nothing to do with knowledge.
Zhao Xingzhi nodded slightly, and did not say whether he believed it or not. He just said: "Never mind whether this jade bracelet was really given to her by the imperial concubine."
"Taking a step back, even if this jade bracelet is really a reward from the imperial concubine, it doesn't necessarily mean it has something to do with this matter."
"Furthermore," Zhao Xingzhi turned to look at Yue Wan, his tone became more severe, "You keep claiming that Concubine Shu ordered you to slander Concubine Concubine. Do you have any evidence?!"
Yue Wan was speechless, it was obvious that she was gone.
"Father!"
Zhao Xingzhi bowed down towards Zhao Qian and said, "I suspect that someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between the two empresses, as well as between you and the three emperors."
Zhao Xingyu, who was standing to one side, had a dim and unclear gaze. When his gaze occasionally fell on Yue Wan, it was like a knife.
Zhao Qian slapped the desk hard, "This is unreasonable! The person behind this must be found out!"
However, Yue Wan didn't want to say that there was nothing anyone could do now.
It's not like they never thought about starting somewhere else, but the other party's thinking was so meticulous that Zhao Jin and others couldn't find any clues.
The secret guards around Zhao Qian also found nothing.
The more this happened, the more frightened Zhao Qian became.
Zhao Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that there is no result for the time being. How about we escort the person back to Dali Temple first and then find another way."
Concubine Shu sneered directly, "I heard that Marquis Xuanping was responsible for this matter? I have always heard that Marquis Xuanping has outstanding talents, but I never thought that he was so outstanding."
"It's just that we still haven't been able to find out who's behind it, and we still let Yue Wan bite her everywhere."
Everyone in the palace is a keen and shrewd person. Concubine Shu has almost made her dissatisfaction obvious, and everyone can naturally hear it.
Concubine Lan and others were extremely surprised. Didn't it mean that Zhao Jin had a good relationship with the fourth prince and had a deep relationship?
Why now, it seems that Concubine Shu is full of hostility towards Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin just glanced at Concubine Shu lightly, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Your Majesty, you may not know that this case is complicated and it will inevitably take some time."
"Furthermore, in addition to me, the Dali Temple is also responsible for this case."
"Finally," Zhao Jin refuted Concubine Shu in an orderly manner, "Yue Wan's biting and biting is the work of the mastermind behind the scenes, not my instigation."
With Zhao Qian's words, she might not be able to move even an inch in the harem.
The people in the palace always looked down on those who were superior and supported those who were inferior. Concubine Shu could almost see the vicious faces of those villains.
She glared at Zhao Jin, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything.
Zhao Xingzhi saw all this in his eyes, and his throat seemed to be choked.
Now that there were many people in the imperial study room, he couldn't say anything directly to his mother and concubine, so he could only wait until later.
Zhao Qian was exhausted after all the fuss. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go down."
Yue Wan was put into prison again, and everyone retreated one after another.
The prince's face had not looked good since he left the imperial study.
Although Zhao Xingzhi's words did not completely dispel the suspicion in each other's hearts, the effect was far from what he expected.
However, no matter what, no one now doubts him.
After everyone left, Zhao Jin turned back.
Shouquan looked at Zhao Jin in surprise, "Why is Marquis Xuanping back again?"
"I have something to report to Your Majesty."
Although Shouquan felt a little strange, he still went in and passed the news.
"Marquis Xuanping?" Zhao Qian frowned, and then said: "Let Marquis Xuanping come in."
Zhao Jin walked in quickly and said, "See Your Majesty."
"Tell me." Zhao Qian rubbed his brows tiredly.
Seeing this, Zhao Jin got straight to the point and said: "Your Majesty, prolonging Li Gui's case is not an option. I have a way to expose the person behind it."
Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Expose yourself? Marquis Xuan Ping will come one by one."
Zhao Qian even leaned forward slightly and stared at Zhao Jin closely.
"It seems that it is impossible to pry open Yue Wan's mouth now. We might as well lead the snake out of the hole."
"After a few days, Yue Wan will stop talking. With a little more force, Yue Wan can be forced to reveal the person behind the scenes."
Zhao Jin smiled slightly and said, "In this case, the people behind the scenes must be restless."
"Hahaha!" Zhao Qian brushed off his fatigue and said with admiration: "Marquis Xuanping's plan is so clever! It's so wonderful!"
"We just need to have people in the cells waiting for them to get into the fishing nets!"
"Exactly." Zhao Jin also had a smile in his eyes.
The plan was directly on him, and it was absolutely impossible for Zhao Jin to let them escape easily.
He had to take some skin off the people behind the scenes.
"I'll give you the token. You go find the commander of the Forbidden Army. The two of you are responsible for this. From tonight on, someone must keep an eye on the cell in secret at all times."
Zhao Jin immediately responded, "Yes, I obey your order."
Zhao Gan handed a golden token to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin bent down, raised his hands above his head, and spread his hands together.
The slightly heavy token was placed in Zhao Jin's hand.
"With this token, you can not only go to the commander of the Forbidden Army, but you can also enter and leave the palace freely in the future."
