Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 516 The third prince died

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" There was a sudden exclamation from outside the door.

"Who is making noise?" The emperor was very displeased.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince..." A servant hurried into the imperial study, his legs were trembling.

The emperor became more and more displeased, what happened to these eunuchs?I'm getting more and more ignorant of the rules.

Seeing this, Xu Luo, who hadn't had time to invite Su Yizhao over, immediately scolded, "Why are you so panicked, don't you know that the emperor and the adults are discussing something?"

Why is this little pavilion so blank?Is this boring?Don't pull him if you don't want to live!

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is dead."

"What?" The emperor stood up in shock, he took two steps in three steps, and came to the small pavilion.

"What did you say?" the emperor confirmed again.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Mr. Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion that the Third Prince hanged himself after returning from court."

The emperor froze on the spot, he didn't believe it, he couldn't believe it.

The ministers present were also shocked. In the early court, the third prince seemed to be fine, so why did he commit suicide?

"Don't spread the word, how is it possible? Why did the third prince die? In the early dynasty, the third prince even made suggestions on how to control the river. How is this possible?" Zhu Hongchang, Minister of the Household Department, questioned.

"Slaves don't dare to talk nonsense! Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is just outside the Imperial Study Room."

"Quick! Let Qian Guiyong come in!" The emperor panted, and Xu Luo quickly stepped forward to help him.

When Jingzhaofu Yin came in, several ministers immediately set their sights on him.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is dead." Qian Guiyong knelt down on the ground after entering, crying directly.

The emperor tightly grasped the armrest of the dragon chair, "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

"The third prince committed suicide by hanging himself, and left a suicide note, saying that he was ashamed to meet the emperor, let alone the people and important officials in the court."

Qian Guiyong took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Xu Luo, who quickly trotted over to take it.

The emperor took a look at the suicide note, and his face suddenly turned gray.

He was silent for a long time, his eyes were a little moist.

"Why is he so stupid? Why did he commit suicide?" The emperor couldn't help crying bitterly, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he became suspicious.

"Impossible! He is the prince, how could he commit suicide? This is absolutely impossible!"

The emperor thought of something, and immediately ordered Xu Luo to call Su Yizhao and Kang Shiwen.

"I don't believe my son would be so cowardly, he must have been murdered."

The emperor thought of the eldest brother and the second child, he could tolerate even supporting the army, leaving them alive, how could he be so heartless towards the third child?
As long as the third child is not stupid, he will never commit suicide in fear of crime.

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, they haven't figured out the situation yet, why would the third prince commit suicide?
Well done, now there are only three princes left, and the three princes have a great chance to be crowned the Great Treasure!

"Where's Su Yizhao? Let him go to the Third Prince's Mansion with me." The emperor got up, but the dragon body was crumbling.

"My majesty's condolences!" Xu Luo stepped forward to help and consoled her.

"Please mourn the emperor!" Several ministers quickly knelt down, no one would mention Su Yizhao without winking at this time.

When Su Yizhao received the news, he was carefully checking the confessions.

Su Yizhao frowned when he saw the words "Marquis of Lin'an".

Jiang Yishou, Marquis of Lin'an, was the commander of the Jingwei Commander Division. His father was originally one of the heroes of the dynasty.

However, this person is the father-in-law of the third prince!The eldest daughter, Jiang Lishi, is married to the third prince, and she is the main concubine. Isn't this inappropriate for the third prince's party?
"Su Sicheng! Hurry up and head to the Third Prince's Mansion with me."

Suddenly Kang Shiwen walked in, and said to Su Yizhao with a very serious expression.

Su Yizhao quickly tidied up the things on the table, "But what's the rush? The case has not been investigated yet, it's just a one-sided statement from these people."

It would be unreasonable to win the third prince just like that, right?Besides, the third prince is not directly mentioned here!

"The third prince is dead!" Kang Shiwen said solemnly.

"What?" Su Yizhao was incredulous, "When did it happen?"

"Just an hour ago."

At this moment, the Third Prince's Mansion is in chaos, and the Prince's Mansion has been surrounded by heavy soldiers, and no one can enter or leave.

The female family members in the mansion were crying, especially the third concubine Jiang Lishi, who knelt outside the door with her six-year-old son and cried uncontrollably.

"Your Highness! You just left, how can we live as orphans and widows?"

The third concubine was young and had only been married for seven years. Her husband passed away. One can imagine the blow to her.

The youngest son is still ignorant of the world, how will she, a widowed woman, raise her youngest son?

Originally a bright future was waiting for them, but unexpectedly, the world was impermanent, and they fell into pieces.

"Third Imperial Concubine, let's quickly decorate the mourning hall! The whole family has not yet put on plain clothes, and the emperor will arrive soon."

Mother Qin, who was beside the third concubine, stepped forward to advise, that this incident was too sudden, she was fine in the morning, but now she is gone.

"What kind of mourning hall will be set up? How could His Highness leave us? It is impossible for him to commit suicide. Yesterday he said that when Si'er was older, he would ask a famous teacher to teach him. How could he abandon us and my wife?"

The third concubine still can't believe it, she can't figure it out, really can't figure it out!

Su Yizhao and Kang Shiwen arrived at the third prince's mansion. Because of the emperor's will, the case has been handed over to Dali Temple, so when they enter, they only need to show their tooth cards, and no one will stop them.

As soon as I entered, I heard the sound of a woman crying, as well as the crying of several women. It can be said that the person who heard it was sad and shed tears.

Jiang Lishi and Su Yizhao had never seen her before. When she went to the wedding, she had already changed into her wedding dress and hijab.

"Su Yizhao, minister of Dali Temple, has met the third prince and concubine."

Su Yizhao stepped forward and saluted Jiang Li.

Jiang Lishi was immersed in sadness, and she didn't seem to have heard of Su Yizhao's salute.

"I was ordered to investigate the case of the third prince's suicide by hanging from the beam. Before the investigation is made, it is not ruled out that he committed suicide. The autopsy will be carried out next, and the third prince's concubine Haihan will be invited."

"What?" Jiang Lishi was shocked when she heard the word autopsy, "My husband just left, and you actually desecrated his body?"

"The minister is also following orders." Su Yizhao saw that this person objected, so he simply didn't say any more.

"There has been an autopsy already, and it is said that he died of suffocation. Can it be false? Why do you still need an autopsy?"

The third concubine looked at Su Yizhao with disgust. Dali Temple has always been domineering.

"Because just based on the preliminary autopsy, it may not be sure that it was not a homicide. It has to be carefully checked, otherwise many clues will be missed." Su Yizhao asked a woman casually as he spoke.

"Where is the body of the third prince?"

"Are you going to disembowel His Highness's body? If you dare, I don't agree."

The third concubine immediately got up and blocked the door, shouting angrily at everyone.
