Chapter 610
After the beginning of the new year, both Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice were busy with the case of Princess Rong'an's death in Yeting Palace.But at the end of the investigation, only one insignificant person was found——a small servant in the imperial dining room who lit the fire.

And his motive for killing Princess Rong An, after speaking out, made everyone feel unbelievable and impossible to doubt.

This little servant lived in a village outside the city of Shendu. His parents died when he was young, and he and his younger brother were left to depend on each other.

The younger brother is quite talented in reading and literacy, so he voluntarily entered the palace as a servant, and used his monthly salary to support his younger brother's education.My younger brother is also very competitive. He was selected as a scholar when he was less than 20 years old, and he is very good at poetry, so he is well-known in Shendu City.

Princess Rong An also likes to recite poems and compose Fu, so she told the people below to often collect new poems and compile them into books to make her happy.The poem written by the little servant's younger brother was in it, and Princess Rong An caught his eye and wanted to meet the poet.

After seeing it, I realized that this person wrote good poems, and he looks even better!

This person was favored by Princess Rong An at the age of 19, and after one year in the mansion, he became the most favored face.At the same time, nature has completely cut off the relationship with the official career.

However, most of Israel's servants cannot last long.A few years later, Princess Rong An had a new favorite, so he naturally fell out of favor.

After falling out of favor, this man wanted to leave Princess Rong An's mansion and return to the life of a normal man.He pleaded with Princess Rong An, but made her unhappy.

Not only did Princess Rong An not let him go, she even gave him to a friend as a gift.That friend had an ulterior motive, and the servant's younger brother was tortured to death less than half a year after he came to her house.

But it was a coincidence that half a year after his death, Princess Rong An was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Ye Ting Palace, which happened to give the servant a chance to avenge her hatred.

So on New Year's Eve, he secretly colluded with the servant who was in charge of guarding Princess Rong An, and entered the Yeting Palace avoiding other people's eyes and ears.

Princess Rong An was strangled to death first, and then hanged to the beam of the house.

……

He killed Princess Rong An with his own hands, and all the details he confessed to were consistent with the inspection results he made.

So after checking here, the case should naturally be over.

This was very different from Shisi's initial guess, but she went through the case files several times, but she didn't find any loopholes.

Could it be that she is really suspicious?
……

After the death of Princess Rong An, the frequency of the Empress' daily intake of decoction became higher and higher.However, only the inner palace knew the news, and did not spread it to the outside world.

This day, a family of three came to the Hall of Eternal Life as usual, but the atmosphere in the hall was a bit abnormal.

The eldest grandson Zhao'er served beside the empress, and there was a person kneeling on the ground, a person wearing a prince's costume.

Fourteen and Zuo Qiuyue stopped at the same time, wanting to leave first.

"Great-grandmother." At this moment, Xiao Mo shouted very loudly, and the couple had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter.

Seeing Xiao Mo, the empress smiled briefly.

Zuo Qiuyue put Xiao Mo on the ground, she ran over with her little hands open, and hugged the empress' legs.

After Shisi and Zuoqiu Yue approached, they could see clearly who the person kneeling on the ground was - King Huan's eldest grandson Qi.

Why is he kneeling here?Fourteen wondered, although this King Huan was the younger brother of the empress and his mother, his talents and abilities were far different from those of his elder sister or his son.He found a false job in the court, enjoyed the treatment of the prince, and the thing he cared about and loved the most was hunting for women everywhere.

Generally, except for large-scale ceremonies and banquets, he rarely appears in the palace.

"Sister." The eldest grandson Qi lay on the ground and begged, "My brother and Gesang really love each other, please help me."

Fourteen almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

Who?
Who is he in love with?
"Bastard!" The empress was so angry that she picked up the memorial on the case and threw it at Changsun Qi.This annoyance was not the emperor's anger towards his courtiers, but as the eldest sister, she felt ashamed to have such a younger brother.

"Sister..."

"I don't have a brother like you!"

"Great... great grandma..." Xiao Mo had never seen the empress lose her temper before, and was a little frightened.The small mouth is curled and retracted, as if about to cry.

"Ah Fei is not afraid." The empress' voice softened immediately, she raised her hand to caress the little guy's forehead hair, and coaxed, "Great-grandmother didn't lose her temper with Ah Fei."

"Get out of here immediately!" Lowering her voice, the anger in her tone did not lessen, "Go to the ancestral hall and think about the ancestors of the Changsun family!"

"Ah...Your Majesty, calm down first." Changsun Qi knew that the Empress would not do anything to him even if she got angry, so even though she was afraid, she still said boldly, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, just call Gesang and ask him. "

"Get out!"

"Granduncle, step back first." At this time, Changsun Zhao'er came to Changsun Qi with lotus steps, pulled him up, and said in a low voice, "Granduncle, Your Majesty has been ill recently and cannot be angry. Please, Granduncle Go back first, Zhao'er will find a way to help you with your matter."

"really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

Only then did Changsun Qi listen to the persuasion, and kowtowed to the empress again: "Sister, take care of the dragon body."

Then he got up, and was supported by the eldest grandson Zhao'er to leave together.

The empress was not looking at him, out of sight and out of mind.

"Grandmother..." After Changsun Zhao'er and Changsun Qi left the hall, Ah Qian hugged the Empress's arm and shook, "Don't be angry."

"Good boy, good boy." The empress put her arms around Xiao Mo, and said to Shisi and Zuoqiu Yue, "Stop standing still."

The two found a place to sit down, and just as they were seated, they heard the Empress ask: "What do you think of this matter?"

This...is really a problem.Fourteen Hearts thought: I thought that the red-faced princess would pick on the eldest grandson Jingxu, but who knew that he would choose his father directly!

The Empress was angry, of course not because Changsun Qi's move violated human relations.He would take several concubines into the mansion every year, and most of those beautiful girls could be his granddaughters.

The Empress was angry because she was angry that he was old and stupid, and that he was extremely stupid.

He is an old man who is close to his ears, but he really thinks that Princess Gesang, who is as young as a flower, will really love him.

The concubines he brought back to the mansion may still have some sincerity towards his power and wealth, but the majestic red-faced princess, even if she was sent to a foreign country for marriage, would not be moved by them.

Fourteen and Zuo Qiuyue looked at each other, and said after deliberation: "Prince Huan loves beauty, everyone knows it. Princess Gesang is as young as a flower, with a beautiful face, so she is naturally lovable."

"It's probably true that King Huan fell in love with her at first sight, but she's probably asking for something else." Zuo Qiuyue answered the words, unceremoniously, "The red face sent the princess to our court for marriage, but in fact it was a wolf with ambition, and she didn't intend to marry her. I will be friends forever."

This truth is not difficult to understand, and many people in the court understand it.There is no long-term friendship between countries, but they are all interests.The Red Faced Kingdom wants to benefit from the dispute between Dali and Tule, and if Tule stands in its current position, it will do the same.

But to understand is to understand, but to pretend not to understand.A group of people, just acting.

"People have taken a fancy to you, so you don't have to speak so harshly." The empress made a rare joke.

Fourteen thought she would continue to talk about Princess Gesang and grandson Qi, but the empress didn't mention it again.

After a while, the servant brought over the auspicious date calculated by Qin Tianjian for Xiao Yan's marriage.There are three auspicious days this year, namely the sixth day of June, the sixth day of August and the sixteenth day of September.

"A Yan is busy with military affairs now?" the Empress asked.

"Yes." Zuo Qiuyue responded, "Form a navy in Dengzhou."

Xiao Yan secretly left the capital on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Afterwards, he said to the outside world that there was an urgent military matter in the army, and he rushed to deal with it.

Zuoqiu Yue naturally sent a memorial in advance to build a port and set up a navy in Dengzhou, and the Empress knew about it.

"In your opinion, which day is suitable?" asked the Empress.

"Your Majesty, you are the one to decide." Zuoqiu Yue said.

The empress held three wooden signs with auspicious days in front of her, bowed her head and said to Xiao Mo, "Ah, come and pick a good day and auspicious day for your brother."
