Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 728 Undercurrents in Qianqiu Palace, Tong Yan Wuji
"What about the cause of death?"

Su Rao asked.

The crown prince looked at the two, with coolness in his haggard eyes: "He was smashed on the head with a blunt instrument, and died of blood loss. The last explanation given by the imperial army was that the young eunuch in the palace was discovered by him for stealing, and he killed him in a rage."

"Do you have evidence?"

As soon as Su Rao finished asking, Yan Yun said, "The situation in the palace is different from that of the Third Division. Sometimes...it's not very clear."

There is a set of procedures for punishing slaves and investigating cases within the imperial confinement.

The prince nodded in agreement: "That's right, because the emperor's grandfather is critically ill, the palace is very taboo about these matters, and they are punished in private, and they are convicted and executed on the spot."

In fact, if it weren't for the old eunuch being the personal servant of the Supreme Emperor.

Served by my side for decades.

At such a critical moment in the palace, the death of a eunuch will not attract anyone's attention, let alone get to the bottom of it.

"So... all the right and wrong were relayed by the imperial guards?"

Su Rao was thoughtful, while the prince and Yan Yun were silent at the same time.

After a while, she asked in a low voice: "Is the condition of the Supreme Emperor really as it is said outside?"

A look of pain flashed across the prince's face, he was silent for a moment, and nodded.

"There are so many eyeliners in the palace, you will be targeted if you make a slight move, it's better to stay still, I'll figure out a way about this."

Yan Yun looked at the prince and said straight.

"Heqing, the Forbidden Army has always been ordered by..."

Before the crown prince finished speaking, Yan Yun said: "Because of this, it is even more necessary to investigate clearly, the forbidden area of ​​the palace, the emperor's side bed, how can people with ulterior motives be allowed to tarnish the majesty of the royal family."

His tone was always calm and indifferent, especially at this moment.

The prince stared at him for a while, then smiled wryly: "You know, what I'm afraid of is..."

He didn't say the outrageous words.

The two of them knew each other, and Su Rao slandered, how many people could there be in the entire court who could influence the imperial army, imperial hospital, and even the yamen of the inner palace, and make everyone have the same mouth?

"Anyway, I'll investigate this matter."

Yan Yun's tone was solemn, and the prince knew his situation. Because of the sickness, the Tai Tu and others spoke one after another, saying that he should not stay in the Changqiu Palace and neglect the government affairs.

Opposite the East Palace, the second prince stared at him.

How could he not know this truth.

It's just that the emperor's grandfather treated him with great kindness and affection, and his father was a king, so it was impossible for him to leave the government and serve him in front of his bed. As the eldest grandson and the heir apparent, he should shoulder this important responsibility.

Instead of weighing the pros and cons.

Such a person is not worthy of being a human being, let alone a king.

"Heqing, then you should be careful."

It is more convenient to work in the dark.

Yan Yun nodded, he was thinking about another matter at the moment, Yan Jingyao was in a hurry to return home, Princess Yongchang was missing, the Supreme Emperor had a stroke...

These things all happened around the same time.

He had suspected the connection before, so he entrusted Master Qingdeng to keep an eye on the movement of Changqiu Palace, but the master has been away all year round and is not very familiar with the palace, so the things he can see are limited.

What the prince said today confirmed his guess.

Next, let's see what's going on over there...

"Brother, brother..."

Crisp shouts came from outside the hall, breaking the silence of the room. They all laughed and shook their heads when they heard the reputation. They saw a glutinous rice dumpling running towards them with short legs, followed by the princess, who smiled and told him to run slowly and be careful not to fall.

He ran to him and straightened his clothes solemnly.

He made a long bow to the prince: "I pay my respects to my father."

"Get up."

The prince's face turned pale, and he smiled unconsciously, "Have you finished your homework? The teacher will check it tomorrow morning."

"If you go back to your father, it's all done."

Li Eucalyptus replied in a childish voice, although she tried her best to look calm, she couldn't help but glance in Yan Yun's direction.

The prince was amused to see it.

"Okay, stop pretending, that little thought is written all over your face."

A word made Li An feel relieved, and rushed towards Yan Yun's arms with a bright smile. Yan Yun stretched out his arms to catch him, hugged him in his arms, and said in a warm voice: "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Your Highness can't always call it like this, and others will criticize him if they hear it."

"No one else."

Li An's arms like lotus roots were hung around his neck, and he said with a smile: "Father Wang said that this is not good for the elder brother, Lin'er remembers, so I asked my concubine mother before coming here."

He turned his head to look at Su Rao, "Is she the wife of Brother Shi Zi who is about to get married?"

Yan Yun smiled and said, "Yes."

"You guys came together last time."

Li An thought carefully for a while, and said joyfully, "I remember, Mr. Su..."

"Your Highness has a really good memory, I wish His Highness well."

Su Rao bowed her hands.

Li An waved his hands like a little adult, "Privately, there is no need to be formal. Since you are the wife of Shizi's elder brother, His Highness will allow you to call me 'Lin'er' whenever you are alone."

Su Rao was amused by his tone, "Then thank you, Your Highness."

"Lin'er."

Li Yu corrected her with a serious face, Su Rao glanced at the prince and princess, seeing them smiling and nodding at her, she changed her words: "Okay, Lin'er."

After getting her nickname, Li An shrank back into Yan Yun's arms contentedly, and said in a low voice, "Brother, two days ago the teacher praised me for my good handwriting and gave me an inkstone, and my father also rewarded me with a small bow, so what will you reward me for?"

The princess laughed and said angrily: "No wonder you told me that the son must tell you when he comes over, so it turned out to be such a calculation."

The prince was helpless, "You can use this method to cheat a lot of good things. The emerald arowana on your uncle's waist was picked for you two days ago, and your cousin's Yu Linglong... Why did you fall in love with your uncle Yan family again?"

"Heqing, don't pay attention to him, this little guy has become more and more slippery recently."

Yan Yun chuckled when he heard the words, and held Li An's back to prevent him from moving and falling, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness is so progressive, you should be rewarded, what do you want?"

Seeing his look of wanting anything and everything, the princess hurriedly persuaded him: "He Qing, take a kid's joke seriously, don't let him get used to it."

"It's okay."

Yan Yun stared at the little grandson, waiting patiently for his answer.

Li An's dark eyes rolled around, he glanced at his parents who had a warning look, and then looked at Yan Yun, smiling slyly.

After a while, the words came out astonishingly: "Brother Shizi, please give me a younger sister."

Everyone was struck by lightning.

What the hell are you talking about?
The Crown Princess looked at Yan Yun and Su Rao in embarrassment, "Tong Yan Wuji, don't take it to heart."

The prince stared at his son with hatred, "Li Yu, who told you to talk nonsense?"

Seeing his father's serious expression, Li An felt subconsciously afraid, shrank his neck and moved closer to Yan Yun, and said with a pursed mouth, "The palace people said that Elder Brother Shizi is about to marry a wife. After marrying a wife, can't he have a younger sister? I want a younger sister...Everyone else has younger sisters to play with..."

What he said was extremely wronged, and his tears seemed to be crying in the next moment.

Now, it was replaced by Su Rao with a cracked smile.
