The medical concubine arrives: Prince, don't be arrogant

Chapter 343 The Palace Dungeon
"The minister has seen it."

King Jing did not mention the content of the letter, but to see what the emperor would say.

"That's good. Now that the murderer has been arrested, the empress will make her pay the price she deserves. Now, King Jing should be relieved."

"Your Majesty, I'm a little curious. After so many days, how did the empress find out the murderer?"

The letter only stated who the murderer was, but it didn't clearly describe the process and evidence for catching the murderer.

"Well, King Jing is probably going to ask the Queen about this matter. The Queen's supervision of this matter is not effective. The thief was invited to the palace for a banquet. If something happened, the Queen will naturally investigate it. I don't have the extra energy to ask."

In a few words, the emperor put all the responsibility on the queen's head, and picked himself up.

"In this case, can the emperor allow the minister to interrogate the prisoner himself?"

"Because Princess Jing was killed in Fengyi Palace, the empress blamed herself for several days and couldn't sleep or eat. A few days ago, the empress asked for full authority to investigate this matter, and I complied."

The emperor calmly rejected him.

"After all, this matter is also related to my King Jing's Mansion. What's more, the princess is still lying in the mansion, and her condition fluctuates from time to time. If I can't investigate this matter myself, I'm afraid that in the days to come, both the princess and I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

"The queen's empress cares about the princess so much, I'm really touched by this matter, but it's not good to bother the queen too much, so it's better to let the minister find out, but I also promised the princess that I must personally avenge her !"

As he said that, King Jing suddenly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, his gaze was like a sharp arrow, passing through his pupils and shooting straight into people's eyes.

The emperor's eyes trembled, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he suddenly let out a chuckle.

"The friendship that King Jing has for the concubine is really touching."

Yesterday when talking about the assassin of King Jing's Mansion, he clearly had the upper hand, he only needed to take out the wrench, even if he wasn't sure how he got it, it was enough to make the emperor speechless.

But at such a critical juncture, he easily gave up this good opportunity.

But today, when talking about the murder of Concubine Jing, King Jing showed no compromise, insisting on finding out the facts by himself, which was very different from what he did yesterday.

"So, does the emperor agree to the stubbornness of the minister?"

Before the emperor officially nodded, King Jing thanked him first.

"This matter is of great importance, and it directly involves Prince Jing's mansion. It is reasonable for Prince Jing to want to find out the facts himself. I have no reason to stop it."

"It's just that the prisoner may have been executed by the queen right now... After the morning court, King Jing may only see one corpse."

A slightly regretful smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and in King Jing's eyes, this smile also contained a hint of complacency.

"It seems that the emperor is very concerned about this matter."

King Jing looked back at him with a smile in his eyes.

"How can I not care about the matter of respecting the king. You and I are both monarchs and ministers, and we are also brothers. Naturally, I have to intervene in your family affairs."

"The emperor said so."

At this time, King Tai, who had been silent for a long time, stood up silently, nodded slightly to King Jing, with a polite smile on his face.

Looking at it this way, others only think that these two people will not have any personal relationship.

"The emperor has always been very concerned about Wang Jing's family. Presumably, this is also related to the fact that Concubine Jing is the daughter of the Xiangye. As we all know, the emperor loves the Xiangye very much."

It was a bit inappropriate for the King of Thailand to mention Xiang Ye at this time.

However, as long as the people present think about it for a while, they will know why he said such inappropriate words.

Since Wang An and the prince were removed from the emperor's camp, only Xiangye and King Tai are left.

Both of them are people who serve the emperor, so it is inevitable that they will be at odds with each other.

Now that the Prime Minister is not around, the King of Thailand will of course look for opportunities to belittle him.

And because the Prime Minister was punished recently, he never had the opportunity to participate in the affairs of the court, which made the irony of the King of Thailand's saying "love is more important".

"Since it is related to Concubine Jing, this matter must be handled in a safe manner. I think that since the emperor has already agreed to King Jing's request, it is better to let King Jing participate in the interrogation."

"This condition is not too much, the empress must be able to nod."

What the king of Thailand said made it hard to see who he was helping.

"I understand what the king of Thailand means. It's just that I said it just now, and I agree to this matter. I'm afraid the queen has already closed the case and executed the prisoner."

"That depends on whether the heavens care for me. I implore the emperor to stay in the palace after the early court, and thoroughly investigate the poisoning of the princess."

King Jing didn't seem to care about what King Tai said, but stubbornly insisted on his own ideas.

"Well, this matter is according to what the King of Thailand said. King Jing can intervene or participate in this matter, but the Queen will not stop here. After all, this matter is also related to Fengyi Palace."

The entire morning court was almost exclusively set up by respecting the king and the emperor. The two talked about this matter for a long time, but others could hear it confusedly, and they didn't even explain who the murderer was.

After the court, the emperor sent Eunuch Liu to lead the way, and took King Jing to the direction of the dungeon.

When passing through the East Palace, King Jing couldn't help but take a second look.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been recuperating in the East Palace these days. He won't come to court for a while."

Eunuch Liu turned around and looked at him with strange eyes.

"Please hurry up, Eunuch Liu, I can't wait to meet that man."

King Jing withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Eunuch Liu lowered his head and lowered his eyes, but his steps didn't move any faster.

It was almost noon when I walked slowly to the dungeon like this.

Along the way, Eunuch Liu seemed to be deliberately delaying time, he was stumbled by a stone for a while, and he saw some good scenery for a while, so he stopped to talk to King Jing.

King Jing didn't show any signs of panic, he only made false claims with him, and finally walked into the dungeon as he wished.

"What do you want to do? I am the wife of a cabinet scholar. How dare you lynch me?! What about the empress? I want to see the empress!"

Before entering the depths of the dungeon, the two had already heard the movement inside.

Hearing Fan Xianshu's voice, Eunuch Liu paused, his face changed again and again, and he said something bad in his heart.

"Eunuch Liu, the person here is Fan Xianshu, the wife of a scholar?"

Aware of his pause, King Jing didn't urge him, but said quietly behind him.

"Listen to the movement, maybe it is... King Jing, please."

Eunuch Liu was muttering in his heart, but his feet moved after all, and he continued to lead the way ahead.
