Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 524 Your Highness, Please Respect Yourself

This is a small courtyard, which looks very ordinary, but there are four guards in front of the main house.

When Su Yizhao arrived at the door, the guards let him go without asking any questions.

As soon as Su Yizhao entered, he saw a familiar figure sitting in the main room.

"I thought you wouldn't come." The fourth prince looked at Su Yizhao with a smile and said.

"How dare I be an official? You will be the crown prince in five days." Su Yizhao saluted and stood aside.

"If I wasn't the crown prince, you wouldn't have come, would you?" The fourth prince's eyes were a little inexplicable, and there seemed to be hurt emotions in the eyes that were always calm.

"The lower official is only loyal to the emperor and the East Palace. Before the crown prince is established, it is inappropriate to have a close relationship with the prince."

The fourth prince chuckled, "You always have these high-sounding reasons."

"I know you are very close to Xiao Wu, he has helped you, so you don't have much defense against him."

Hearing what the fourth prince said, Su Yizhao was very strange.

She doesn't want to talk too much with this man, this man is deep in his thoughts!
"The Fourth Highness asked the officials to come over, but I don't know why?"

"I know what the fifth brother said to you, but what I want to say is that I didn't kill the third brother." The fourth prince put down the tea bowl in his hand and said seriously.

"Since this matter is related to the third brother, there is no need for me to intervene. If you say that you want to put blame on the fifth brother, then there is no need to harm the third brother."

"Because I have a lot of things against the fifth younger brother, such as the flood three years ago, the fifth younger brother was rich in private pockets; and the matter of supervising the construction of the imperial tomb, do you think he didn't do anything?"

Su Yizhao believes that the money in the hands of every prince is not clean, and before taking the position, money and talents are indispensable.

"There is also the sale of military positions below the sixth rank. I don't know how many benefits he got in the year he supervised the Ministry of Officials."

"Then why didn't you expose him?" Su Yizhao felt strange. With so many crimes, the fifth prince should lose his job for several years, right?
The emperor couldn't bear it just because of the flood, because the emperor hated these things the most.

The fourth prince looked at Su Yizhao, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Because I want to keep the fifth prince and let him deal with other princes. Among these princes, the fifth prince is the smartest and good at strategy."

Su Yizhao didn't know whether to say that this man was honest, or that he had no scruples.

"I did it, and I admit it. Now that things have happened, there is no need to lie. The third brother was not killed by me, nor by the fifth brother."

"Aren't you afraid of changes? There are four more days before the ceremony for the crown prince." Su Yizhao didn't understand why he said it so early.

"Don't be afraid, I have so many things about Lao Wu, why should I be afraid of him?"

The fourth prince is confident, "But I grew up with the fifth child. He has relied on me since he was a child. I can't bear to lock him up in the clan's mansion. When he comes out, I will let him go to the fiefdom and show my brother's affection."

Looking at the deep eyes of the fourth prince, she felt that the fourth prince was more terrifying than she imagined.

"Then who do you think killed the third prince?" Su Yizhao continued to ask.

"I can't be sure, but you can go and find out who Wu Huo is working for and who he usually contacts with. You should have been investigating, right?"

It turns out that the fourth prince knows the latest movements of Dali Temple like the palm of his hand, and it seems that Dali Temple has an internal response.

"There is also the previous Xuanwu case. Since there are two Xuanwu cases, there can be three or four. With those people, can it really be done? From outside the pass to the court, the penetration is so thorough, there must be a huge people network."

Su Yizhao's heart suddenly moved when he heard the fourth prince's eloquent talk.

"Then who do you think it is?"

"Maybe you can look up the capital?"

Looking at Su Yizhao's surprised eyes, the fourth prince suddenly said: "Maybe you don't believe it, but if you go to investigate his concubine E Liman, you will find something important."

"The lord of the capital is still respectful to the emperor today, asking the emperor to make you the crown prince. If he has two hearts, why should he do this?" Su Yizhao said suspiciously.

"I said you wouldn't believe it, but if you go to check E Liman, you will know that what I said is true. But this person has not revealed his identity yet, he is the border guard general Dingyuan General Zhong Fuyuan."

"Have you checked everything out?" Su Yizhao said.

Su Yizhao knew about Zhong Fuyuan, he was not from a noble family.

"No, you need to check the rest."

The fourth prince spoke and walked to Su Yizhao's side. Su Yizhao was about to retreat, but the fourth prince held his shoulder.

He lowered his voice, leaned close to Su Yizhao's ear and said: "I know you are a girl, as long as you are loyal to me, I will not only let you be promoted to a noble position, but even the master of the harem can be given to you if you want."

As he spoke, he suddenly touched Su Yizhao's cheek with his hand, Su Yizhao suddenly felt angry, and she slapped the fourth prince's hand away.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself!"

The fourth prince suddenly smiled, "I won't expose you, just do whatever you want!"

Su Yizhao just wanted to say, what a shame, what's the difference between this and a threat?

When Su Yizhao returned to the mansion exhausted, he didn't want to hear the emperor summoning him again.

When I asked the time, it turned out to be the beginning of Haishi.

The father and son of the Qin family really know how to enslave people!You two have too many things to do, and she hasn't slept well for several days.

After getting dressed, I saw Su Huai carrying a tray outside.

"My lord ordered that refugees have entered the capital recently, and they are afraid that there will be epidemics, so I asked you to drink a preventive decoction."

This is in the middle of the night?Su Yizhao took a look at the dark soup, but took it up and downed it in one gulp.

Even if she wanted to kill herself, it wasn't for a while. She had also heard about the outbreak of plague in the capital recently, but she heard that she was expelled by the commander of the Jingwei and the commander of the five cities.

"Grandpa hasn't slept yet? The chief steward told Grandpa to have a good rest, so don't worry about it."

"Hey!" Su Huai agreed, and then stopped talking.

"Dafu's ability is good, but he lacks experience and will become more and more sophisticated."

Only then did Su Huai smile in relief, and then left.

Just when Su Yizhao was about to leave the front yard, Su Wenqing suddenly appeared.

It is said that Su Wenqing was often not in the mansion during this time, and the dragon could not see the end.

Su Yizhao saluted, "Are you still asleep?"

"Don't run around in recent days. I heard that there are refugees rioting. They all gather outside the city, and there are many inside the city. They all carry the plague on their bodies. The disease is very serious and there is no good medicine."

Su Yizhao frowned. He had been investigating the case some time ago, but he ignored these things. Thinking about it, the matter was quite serious?It seems that we have to ask the emperor if he has any countermeasures.

After Su Yizhao arrived at the imperial study, he found that the emperor also had a sad face.Remembering that he had just lost his son, he sighed slightly in his heart.

"The emperor's condolences!"

At some point, the emperor also had gray hair all over his head.

"You are here! I always feel that there is something mysterious about this case, so I asked you to come as a staff officer."

The emperor didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries, so he said directly.

Isn't it because you are in a hurry and don't have time to announce it?She clearly said before that there are still doubts that have not been resolved, and wait.

"Second minister! Therefore, the case is still under investigation!"
