The princess of Huanghuo loves farming

Chapter 49
"Prince, the matter is like this." Seeing that Huangfucheng's face was extremely pale, Feng Yunkai got up immediately.

She gave the Xu family brothers and sisters a wink, and after the two of them went up with her, she said to Huangfu City: "They are the sons and daughters of the magistrate Xu Xiaolian who were rescued as the consort said.

Not long ago, a group of murderous bandits pretended to be officers and soldiers broke into Xu's mansion and killed everyone they saw. In the end, only the brothers and sisters of the Xu family survived. "

After a slight pause, she laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's just that the brothers and sisters of the Xu family were not rescued by me or the seventh son, but by a knight-errant who saw injustice in the road and saved them both."

The corners of Seventh Young Master's lips curled slightly, she was really a frank woman, and she seemed to be expressing her dissatisfaction with his failure to make a move from time to time.

"What? There is such a thing?" As Feng Yunkai wished, Huangfu City's attention was suddenly drawn away, and he stood up in shock.

The brothers and sisters of the Xu family seemed to see hope, and immediately knelt down on the main hall, weeping together and said: "His Royal Highness, please be the master of the late father (my father)!"

Huangfucheng's eyes froze all of a sudden. Although he was young and loved to mess around, he had the basic patriotic heart of a prince.He has been the prince for many years, even though his position is in jeopardy, he has long regarded the people of the Da'an Dynasty as his people.

At this moment, when he heard that one of the brothers and sisters of the Xu family called Xu Xiaolian "Father" and the other called Xu Xiaolian "Father", the string in his heart was immediately touched - the person who was supposed to be the father became the late father overnight , or die in vain, how can we not teach him to be extremely angry!
"Don't worry, I will never let the real culprit go unpunished. I will take you to face the Holy Spirit right now, and ask the Holy One to make decisions for you!" Huangfucheng was about to leave his seat with excitement on his face.

The brothers and sisters of the Xu family were also very excited. They didn't expect that the prince was not as bad as the outside rumors said, so they secretly made a decision in their hearts: when the Xu family's affairs are over, they will follow the prince and stand by the prince!

"Wait a minute!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, Nangong Bai got up and took a step forward, reaching out to block the way of Huangfu City: "Prince, the fourth prince is on his way to the East Palace, and the fourth prince also wants to see the brothers and sisters of the Xu family. Why don't the prince wait for the fourth prince?" After the prince arrives, how about going to see the emperor with the fourth prince?"

Before Huangfu City got mad, the brothers and sisters of the Xu family had already stood in front of Huangfu City, Xu Weipin who was the older brother glared at him and said, "The prince said to go now, how dare you stop the prince?"

To be honest, the prince's status in the court is second only to the emperor, a small son-in-law is still the hostage of another country, so he really has no right to stop the prince.However, what if the crown prince's status is already in jeopardy, and he is useless in the court?

"I'm just following the order of the fourth prince. Besides, the fourth prince has a few words to ask you. Don't you want to hear what clues the fourth prince has?" Nangong Bai is really a guy who knows how to manipulate people's hearts. The hint made Xu Weipin calm down.

Xu Weipin and Xu Weihong both heard the meaning of Nangong Bai's words. Maybe the fourth prince found something, logically speaking, they should really listen, but the prince...

No matter how ignorant the brothers and sisters of the Xu family are, they also know what all the subjects of the Da'an Dynasty know - the crown prince and the fourth prince are in the same boat, the fourth prince regards the prince as a thorn in his flesh, and the prince wishes to get rid of the fourth prince and hurry up.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, lost their mind for a moment, and this effect was what Nangong Bai wanted, so he showed an imperceptible smile.

"Bold! You..."

Huangfucheng was very angry and was about to reprimand Nangong Bai, but Feng Yunkai took a step forward and interrupted him with a smile: "Prince, since the brothers and sisters of the Xu family are willing to wait for the fourth prince, then the prince will take me and the seventh prince to meet him first. Holy, I want to report to the emperor about some specific matters about the manor."

Huangfucheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what she meant, but then the seventh young master stepped forward and nodded to him, and he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I will take you there first." Since it is the seventh young master Agreed, presumably the two of them had other deep meanings, so he just followed suit.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the main hall, the brothers and sisters of the Xu family became anxious.

After all, Feng Yunkai and 'Green Immortal' are friends, and 'Green Immortal' is their benefactor, benefactor entrusted them to Feng Yunkai, and Feng Yunkai really asked the prince to promise to take them to face the saint, now they In order to wait for the fourth prince and not go, what will be the reaction of benefactor when he finds out?
And will the fourth prince be able to find out the real culprit of the Xu family murder?Does the fourth prince love the people like a son like the prince?
A series of doubts grew in the hearts of the two brothers and sisters. The moment the two brothers and sisters saw the three of them stepping out of the palace gate in Huangfu City, they immediately ran after them.

"You..." Nangong Bai, who was quite proud before, suddenly frowned, with a hint of displeasure floating on his pretty face.

Princess Jingyue, who had been sitting in her seat without saying a word, got up slowly after she and Nangong Bai were the only ones left in the hall, and for the first time ignored Nangong Bai, the son-in-law, and walked dignifiedly outside the palace gate.

Nangong Bai shouted sharply: "Stop!"

Princess Jingyue paused, but she didn't look back.

"Why did you come to see the prince?" Nangong Bai really found out that the letter had been read, and he came here to confirm whether Princess Jingyue really came to the East Palace.

Princess Jingyue smiled faintly: "Don't you already know? Why do you need to ask me?"

Nangong Bai walked up to Princess Jingyue and looked at her for the first time. After a while, he showed a charming smile: "You may have something on your mind, but it's not enough to tell the prince."

This woman loves him so much, he is 100% sure that she will not betray him.

It's a pity that he was wrong, because this woman who loved him so much had an extraordinary status. No matter how stupid Princess Jingyue was, it would be difficult for her to give up her status and position.

Princess Jingyue's eyes flickered, because of Nangong Bai's charming smile, she was a little dazed - this was the first time he smiled at her like this, right?
"It's not a comfortable thing to be understood so well by a person." Faced with Nangong Bai's determination, she didn't refute or ridicule, but just said something specious.

"Let's go." Nangong Bai got a reassuring answer, and immediately turned around, not looking at her anymore.

Princess Jingyue sighed in her heart, knowing that he still had to wait for the fourth prince, she walked out of the palace gate gracefully.

Perhaps in the future, Nangong Bai would think that she betrayed him, but she didn't think it was a betrayal. As the princess of the Da'an Dynasty, she just did what she was supposed to do - discover spies and report them.

Another reason that prompted her to do so was that she had selfish motives.

Her selfishness is - if Nangong Bai is no longer Nangong Bai, if Nangong Bai loses everything, if Nangong Bai is abandoned by his country and the father of the sixth prince, if Nangong Bai is only left with her Huangfu Jingyue Now, would he be willing to live with her for the rest of his life?

At this time, Huangfu City had brought Feng Yunkai and others to meet the old emperor. After listening to Huangfu City's excited narration, the old emperor fell into deep thought.

Perhaps the old emperor's reaction was not as intense as that of Huangfu City, and even looked cold-blooded and heartless to others, but anyone who knew the old emperor's temperament knew that he was already furious.

It's just that the old emperor is more mature and calm than his son, and he doesn't easily show his anger on his face.

"check."

After a long time, when the old emperor said such a word, the brothers and sisters of the Xu family, who had been kneeling for a long time, were instantly surprised.

The old emperor said slowly: "No matter who the other party is, no matter what forces are involved in this case, we must investigate and find out."

"Father is wise!" Huangfucheng knelt down and shouted after bowing.

The old emperor waved his hand and motioned him to get up, and when he got up, he asked, "Prince, I'm afraid this matter is very involved. It is impossible to find out the truth if it is handed over to the Ministry of Punishment or even Dali Temple, but what if I leave it to you to find out?"

to him?Huangfucheng was stunned for a moment, Father Huang had never asked him to handle government affairs, let alone such a big case now.If he is really asked to investigate, where should he start?
"Prince, I am waiting for your answer." The old emperor reminded with displeasure in his eyes.

"My son... my son..." Huangfucheng came to his senses and hurriedly spoke out, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing that the old emperor's face was getting darker and darker, and Feng Yunkai's forehead was covered with fine sweat, she couldn't think of a way to remind the prince, so she had the courage to go forward, knelt down and said, "Report to the emperor, the manor of the civilian girl The construction is about to be completed, and the prince promised the girl before that he would go to the manor to help the girl, because the prince said that this is a major matter for the country and the people, and now the prince is probably worried that the investigation will conflict with this matter."

Huangfu City's inner shirt was already wet with thin sweat, at this moment Feng Yun opened the siege, and quickly echoed: "Yes, father, my son has this concern."

Although the two sang together, but what kind of city man is the old emperor?How could he not see that Feng Yunkai was helping the crown prince?However, he didn't expose it on the spot, but just stared at Feng Yunkai for a while with no clear meaning.

Then, he said slowly: "So that's the case, so in your opinion, how can these two things not conflict?"

These words were obviously addressed to Feng Yun.

Why didn't Feng Yunkai notice that the old emperor's gaze had been on her face, so he naturally understood that the old emperor was asking about her, not Huangfu City, so he answered bravely: "The people's daughter thought that it would take ten and a half days for the manor to be completed. , with the ability of the prince, he should be able to investigate the bloody case of the Xu family within this time limit."

Huangfucheng almost fainted when he heard that, Feng Yunkai, Feng Yunkai, are you helping me or hurting me?Do you know that in front of the emperor, saying this is equivalent to a military order?If the murder case of the Xu family is not investigated before the completion of the manor, I will not be the only one who is unlucky!

"It seems that you know the prince's ability very well." The old emperor suddenly laughed and said, "That's okay, the prince has been doing nothing since he was born, so I use this bloody case of the Xu family to come and see Let's see the prince's ability."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Huangfu City: "Prince, I ordered you to investigate the bloody case of the Xu family before Feng Yunkai's manor is completed, can you do it?"

Huangfucheng slandered and said: This is the end of the talk, if you can't do it, you have to accept the order!
"My minister accepts the order, and I will do my best to serve my minister." Huangfucheng accepted the order bitterly.
