During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Jiang Miao didn't even want to see the sun tomorrow.

Under the same night sky, some people are afraid that they will not see the sun tomorrow.

That night, Yuan Li arrested many people in the palace. Some were captured and released, some disappeared without anyone noticing, and some came back with injuries.

The whole night, the people in the palace were trembling with fear.

Early on the next morning, Hou Cheng slowly arrived outside the execution room, daring not to go in.

Yuan Li came out of the execution room with a fierce look, and when he found someone peeping, his eyes flew away like lightning.

Hou Cheng was so frightened that he lost sight of his three souls and knelt down with a snap.

Yuan Li: "..."

The people in the execution room were not surprised and curled their lips. Everyone who came to the execution room didn't have many strong bones.

Yuan Li walked to the door and looked at him condescendingly. Seeing his legs trembling, there was a bit of disgust in his eyes, but he still stretched out his hand to pull him up.

"Why are you here? Did something happen to Princess Huandu again?"

Hou Cheng was stunned for a moment and waved his hands in a panic, "No, no, the princess is fine. There is no serious problem after taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Ouyang. However, the princess is worried about this and specially asked the servant to come over and ask if the murderer has been found. ?"

Hou Cheng glanced at Yuan Li carefully and quickly looked away as if he was pecked by an eagle.

Yuan Li: ...Is he so scary?

"After interrogating it all night, it seems initially that it was the Third Prince's people who did it."

Sure enough, it was him. Ever since Luo Jingce abandoned the city and fled, no one from the top officials to the slaves looked down upon him.

The more Hou Cheng thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't bear it anymore. "He's already gone, why do you still want to harm the princess? Did the princess provoke him?"

"The case is still under investigation. You should go back first and take good care of the princess."

Hou Cheng was startled, "Don't you think they have been arrested yet?"

Yuan Li frowned, with a cruel smile on his lips, "How can it be that easy?"

"By the way, please accept your little thoughts from the princess."

Hou Cheng took out the banknote and wanted to hand it to him, but he didn't dare to move because he was afraid of him. His hand was frozen and his forehead was sweating.

After interrogating the prisoner all night, Yuan Li felt like a firecracker ready to go off, but seeing Hou Cheng scratching his ears and cheeks, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

With a wave of his long arm, he grabbed a corner of the bank note.

Hou Cheng didn't know what was wrong. He should have let go, but he grabbed the banknote and pulled it into his arms.

A cold light flashed in Yuan Li's eyes. Could it be that he was teasing him on purpose?

Hou Cheng's heart trembled inexplicably, and he felt a chill. He hurriedly let go of his hand, "I, I didn't mean it, I just... I just..."

Hou Cheng was almost crying. How should he explain that he just loved money too much and couldn't hold it back for a while?

"Okay, let's go back!" Just when Hou Cheng's legs were weak and he was about to kneel down, Yuan Li let him go in a soft voice.

Hou Cheng watched him leave, his eyes filled with disbelief.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the young eunuchs in other palaces, and Hou Cheng's waist suddenly became worth his weight in gold.

"What are you looking at? Do you have the ability to go in and see for yourself?"

The little eunuch who was named was also a familiar person. He ran up with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Hou, I just saw you and Eunuch Yuan talking and laughing. What did you say?" Hou Cheng thought to himself, he was laughing. ?

Wasn't he crying just now?

"Actually, it's nothing, just talking and chatting normally."

The little eunuch looked admiring, "Brother Hou, what kind of luck did you have to be able to talk to Yuan Li? There are not many people who dare to talk to him in this palace. If there is any bad luck in the future, Brother Hou can Don’t think about mentioning your brother.”

Hou Cheng was stunned for a moment, then coughed with a scratchy throat, "No problem."

When the little eunuchs following him heard this, they rushed up to say hello to Hou Cheng, and they all praised Hou Cheng so much that they went to heaven.

Eunuch Fulin kept the Imperial Study a secret, but he did not want the murder of Princess Huandu to be hidden from the emperor.

Eunuch Fulin glanced at the two servants in charge of sweeping with a cold look.

"Don't look at them and just ask, what happened?" After the emperor said this, his face turned pale to the naked eye.

Eunuch Fulin ignored the two young chamberlains and hunched forward, "Your Majesty, this matter is still under investigation. I was worried that it would disturb His Majesty's recovery, so I didn't say anything. I didn't expect these two shallow-eyed people to actually When gossip comes out.”

"So, something really happened to Huandu?"

"Doctor Ouyang has seen it and everything is fine. His Royal Highness has asked Yuan Li to investigate thoroughly. There should be news soon."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay. I thought it was another traitor!"

After saying that, he noticed something was wrong with Fulin's expression, "Is it him again?"

Eunuch Fulin knew that he couldn't hide it, so he waved away the people in the palace and whispered: "Your Majesty, Yuan Li arrested a few people. They confessed that it was the third prince who did it, but Yuan Li thinks there is something wrong, so it is not sure yet."

The emperor also thought it was impossible. There was a reason for Lao San to harm Luo Tingye, but there was absolutely no reason to harm Huan.

Is it because Huandu did a better job than him in resisting the Huns?

Besides, after Xiaoba and Xiaoshi died, Lao San’s reputation in the capital was ruined. Didn’t he force the court to kill him?

and many more?

The emperor suddenly looked at Eunuch Fulin, "Is there someone who wants to take advantage of the imperial court and kill the third child?"

Eunuch Fulin smiled dryly and did not answer.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more headache he got. He was going to die. Why were one or two of them still so unstoppable?

In the afternoon, Luo Tingye finished handling government affairs and came to have dinner with the emperor.

The emperor had no appetite and gave up after eating a few bites.

After the meal, Luo Tingye helped the emperor walk around the courtyard, "Father, are you worried about Huandu's affairs?"

"Huan Du is my most caring daughter. All the princes combined are not as caring as her. If it is the third child who wants to harm her, I will definitely not be able to spare the third child. But if it is not him, I do not want to wrong him."

Perhaps it was because old people are particularly susceptible to sentimentality, and the emperor who had previously shouted at Luo Jingce became soft-hearted.

Luo Tingye was not surprised and said bluntly: "Does the father want his son to spare the third child?"

"I know that he caused you to live among the people and suffered a lot, but you also know that he cannot do this alone. Didn't you find a few people?"

Luo Tingye helped the emperor sit down at the stone table, and the palace servants brought tea and snacks.

"Father, I can spare the third child, but it is unknown whether the third child can come back alive."

The emperor's expression paused, and after a moment's thought he understood, "Did he do something again?"

"The spy reported that the third child had a quarrel with Song Liyun for some reason."
