Conspiracy

Chapter 40

Aunt Liu was poked at the wound, her face was embarrassed, "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the concubine has always followed the filial piety, and dare not disobey."

"Since it's a helpless move, it's good to keep your own place. Don't lose the big because of a moment of confusion." Shang Jin said every word, with sharp eyes and a compelling tone.

Aunt Liu understood what she meant in an instant, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly knelt down to defend herself, "Princess, the matter of the young master really has nothing to do with this concubine. I saw with my own eyes that a thief entered the courtyard that the young master saw. Immediately notify everyone, and hope the princess will find out."

"Why are you in a hurry? The princess just asked casually. Qingyang called Huiran his mother, so he is the second son of the Taifu's mansion. Aunt Liu, you are the biological mother. Mothers are more expensive than children, but if their mothers don't De, I'm afraid it will spoil the child."

Although Aunt Liu slandered in her heart that the princess was too lenient, she still didn't dare to contradict her on the face.

"Princess, this concubine dares to swear to the heavens that she will never send someone to kill the young master!"

"Princess, this subordinate has something to report." A guard's voice came from outside.

"come in."

The guard walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "I want to report to the princess, my subordinates led a team to find several charred corpses in the forest where the fire broke out. The burns were so severe that we couldn't identify them."

"The charred corpse? Are there other discoveries?"

"There was obviously a fight at the scene. In addition, blood was also found near the strange stone forest."

Shang Jinyan turned his gaze to Aunt Liu. Could it be true that it has nothing to do with her?But why would someone intend to kill Su Zhen?
"Qin Fei, hand over the body to the government and order them to thoroughly investigate the matter."

She waved her hand and said lazily, "Okay, let's all go down and rest."

"Yes, county lord."

As the night darkened, in the huge palace, there were guards at every ten steps.Guards in hard armor and armed with spears or sabers patrolled back and forth, and a dull and depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts.

The brightly lit East Palace was unusually quiet, making everyone suffocate.

The emperor, the empress, and many concubines waited anxiously in the main hall. The eunuchs and maids knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to look up.

"Speak! What's going on! The prince was kidnapped out of the palace by thieves, and was even seriously injured!" Shang Yu slammed the table hard, and everyone lowered their heads and dared not say more.

Seeing this, Eunuch Xu, headed by Donggong, stepped forward and said, "Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sneaked out of the palace by himself."

"What did you say? Sneak out of the palace?!"

"Go back to the emperor, yes! After dinner, His Highness changed into the clothes of a young eunuch and left the palace."

"The prince has always been polite, why would he behave like this? He must have been instigated by you slaves!" Imperial concubine Yu Xinyue relied on Shang Yu's favor and never paid attention to the queen. At this moment, she heard that the prince sneaked out of the palace. , more want to add insult to injury.

She purposely changed into a long dress of purple smoke, and she folded her slender waist to take small steps, showing her bright wrists in the light gauze.The black silk bun hangs low, and several long gilt agate hairpins are inserted obliquely. The flower-shaped gemstones on the top are lifelike, and the numerous pearls and jades are embellished like stars in the sky.The forehead is lightly touched with plum blossoms, the face is more delicate than the flowers, and the complexion is as fair as new snow.The eyes are charming and coquettish, and the frown and smile are seductive.

"Your Majesty! This servant has been wronged! There is absolutely no such thing! This servant would not dare to provoke the crown prince even if he had a hundred guts!"

"Okay, be quiet, don't disturb the imperial physicians treating the prince."

Empress Ning Qiuran has been in charge of the harem with a golden seal in her hand since she was canonized, and is known for her dignity and virtuousness.Wearing a bright red dress with dark patterns outlined with silver thread, the pattern of the Phoenix and the Nine Heavens is lifelike.The slender waist is tied with a jade belt, and the body is covered with a light smoke tulle, and only a few tassels are inserted obliquely on the top of the head.

She heard about the prince's accident in the middle of the night, but she couldn't lose her manners, so she rushed here after a little modification.At this moment, she put all her mind on the prince, even if Concubine Yu was gloating, she didn't take it to heart at all.
