After being reborn, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Chapter 244 Suspicion (third shift)
The jailer quickly grabbed his hand, lifted the girl up and pulled her behind her.

Zhao Chen stared at him, "What happened to Ling Ai?"

Envoy Liu shouted angrily, "Your Highness poisoned her! Her eyes... are blind!"

Pain flashed in Zhao Chen's eyes, and his tone was cold, "So you can diagnose it."

Worry too much!
He actually believed that!Really stupid!

Three generations of grandparents, layer after layer of design, framed one after another.Poor You Ning, she has lived in darkness for more than two years, and no one even believes in her!

Zhao Chen walked up to Court Envoy Liu and stared at him, "It's enough for you to participate in those evil deeds once, and it's enough for you to die without a place to bury you."

Court Envoy Liu quickly calmed down his anger, and then knelt down and begged bitterly, "Your highness, I have never participated in this! They are afraid that they will reveal their identity, and they have never let me do bad things. They will not do anything. Tell Xiaguan... I beg Your Highness to give Xiaguan a pen and paper, Xiaguan will prescribe a prescription, Lan'er can still be saved..."

Zhao Chen sneered, "Don't think about it. She will be blind until she dies."

"Tsk tsk, the prince is a bit ruthless."

King Chengjun walked into the interrogation room, looked at the miserable condition of the envoy Liu on the ground, and sighed, "It is said that His Royal Highness is not in a good temper now, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that the rumors are still conservative."

Zhao Chen walked out with his hands behind his back, "Uncle Wang is not staying in the palace, what are you doing in Dali Temple?"

King Chengjun walked beside him, and said with a loud smile, "The prince should have guessed it. Without the emperor's assignment, I can't come out easily."

Zhao Chen's expression was indifferent, "Someone must have impeached Gu in the early court. The emperor dislikes others challenging his authority the most, so he must be angry."

Cheng Junwang smiled and said, "I don't understand how the prince is acting so forcefully despite knowing this."

Zhao Chen said lightly, "There are some things that Gu must do. Gu used to claim to be smart, but in fact he was very confused."

King Cheng frowned, becoming more and more confused.

Has the prince ever been confused?It's hard to find someone who is more scheming than him!
"Just now when I was out of the palace, I met Eunuch Lin of Yikun Palace, and wanted to ask Court Envoy Liu to check the pulse of the imperial concubine. He asked me a lot..." He smiled, "I didn't know until the end. The Lord Zhaoping went to Yikun Palace to pay his respects to the empress."

The gloomy look on Zhao Chen's face dissipated, and he asked, "Why did the Lord Zhaoping go to Yikun Palace?"

"Eunuch Lin invited me to go. The lady has a terrible headache, thinking that the county magistrate has the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" handwritten by Master Xuanzhi, and wants to borrow it."

Zhao Chen said indifferently, "The scriptures are so useful. They can't eliminate disasters, and they can't save lives."

The two went to the royal study.

The air-conditioning in the imperial study room was very cold.

In the pile of memorials that Emperor Qingming buried his head in, he raised his head and gave Zhao Chen a faint look, "The prince smells like blood, what's going on?"

Zhao Chen bowed his hands to say hello, "My son was tortured just now."

"Torture envoy Liu?"

"Yes."

Emperor Qingming said indifferently, "The prince is acting more and more arbitrarily now. Although Dali Temple is in charge of Xing Prison, the family of third-rank officials can be confiscated. They have to go through the joint trial of the Three Jurisdictions and then get approved by Zhu Zhu before they can do anything."

Zhao Chen said in a deep voice, "Emissary Liu is the adulterous son of Wen Ruchun and his slaves, and he is a family member of the Yongping Hou family. In fact, he is still the tail left by the Yongping Hou case. My son thought that the Yongping Hou case father had already died. Zhu Pi, there is no need to ask for instructions in this raid."

"So, the prince feels that he did the right thing."

"Yes."

Emperor Qingming stared intently, "As a ruler, it is good to act resolutely and have a strong will. But now you are still the crown prince, and I am still the emperor, so you have to abide by your rules."

Zhao Chen's tone was firm, and he said calmly, "My son always abides by the rules and dare not go beyond. Copying Liu's residence is to act according to the rules."

Emperor Qingming sneered, "I let you take charge of Dali Temple, which gave you confidence. Dali Temple, has it stopped listening to me?"

"I don't dare. The officials of Dali Temple dare not disobey what my father said. My father wants to take over now, so that Dali Temple can still operate as usual. My son is in charge of Dali Temple, which is completely different from Yongpinghou who is in charge of the household department. "

Speaking of the household department, Emperor Qingming frowned.

Yongpinghou is in charge of the household department, but the officials of the household department only listen to Yongpinghou.He wanted to intervene, but he couldn't do anything.Even after Yongping Hou was confiscated and detained, the rectification of the household department was a headache for him, and it is still a mess.

The deficit inside was too big, and the accounts were too chaotic. The officials below pushed the responsibility on Yongpinghou.There is no one who really does practical things and takes the lead.

He talked to several ministers in a row, but no one dared to take over the mess of the Ministry of Household Affairs, for fear of being dragged to death by accident.

In desperation, he promoted a capable minister from the local area, and after only a few days in the household department, he reported illness and resigned from office.Lost a good minister in vain.

This is an important reason why he has not been able to make up his mind to kill Yongpinghou. If the household department leaves Yongpinghou, no one can operate.

But there can be no more household department, nor can there be another Yongping Hou.

Emperor Qingming rubbed his jade wrench finger with consideration in his eyes.

"Since you are so swearing, then I will issue an oral order to ask Dali Temple to release everyone in the Liu family to see if Dali Temple is still in my hands. If they refuse to let go..." Emperor Qingming's eyes turned cold, "The prince should think about it carefully, how to explain it to me."

Zhao Chen looked indifferent, his father never trusted anyone.

He nodded slightly, "Father ordered it."

Emperor Qingming said in a low voice, "Prince Cheng..."

Wu Jian heard the message from the little eunuch outside the door, and reported, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is asking to see you."

Emperor Qingming waved his hand to make King Chengjun, who came forward to listen to the order, to step down, "Let her in."

Wu Jian went out of the palace to greet Wang Guifei, "Your Majesty, please slow down."

The Royal Concubine walked slowly into the hall.

Her dress was plain, with only a plain hairpin in her hair, and her face was so pale that couldn't be concealed by makeup.

Han Youning supported her by the side, Zhai Yi and Zhai Guan were gorgeous and dignified, with a ruddy and plump face, making the concubine Wang Guifei look weaker and weaker.

The two knelt down and saluted.

Wang Guifei fell on the ground but was powerless.

Han Youning got up and went to help each other, but Wang Guifei was so weak that she couldn't help her up alone.

"Mother concubine."

Zhao Chen took a few steps forward, supported Wang Guifei's arm on the other side, and finally helped her to sit on the chair.

When he entered the palace yesterday, although the concubine had a headache and fainted, she was not so weak.He couldn't help but wonder if the two of them came hand in hand to do something.

Zhao Chen looked at Han Youning when he straightened up. She lowered her eyes and did not make any eye contact with him at all.

Those half-covered eyes had a clear and energetic light.

He withdrew his gaze and sat beside Wang Guifei.
