Chapter 172 The strange place
"Brother Huang, why do you look unhappy?" Outside the hall, the second prince looked at the prince and asked with concern.

Even though they are brothers and sisters, because they are the prince, their status is more noble than others. The prince stood at the front, and when he heard the voice of the second prince, he turned his head and squinted at him.

"I didn't expect you to observe so carefully, standing alone in front of you, you can see it."

The second prince didn't care about the prince's sarcasm, "I came in with the emperor just now, so I naturally noticed it."

"Emperor brother, as the crown prince, is the foundation of the country, so you must take care of your health."

"Thank you for thinking about it, I won't bother you any more." The prince replied coolly, and looked away at the second prince.

The palace people came out of the palace and conveyed the meaning of the official family.

"Since that's the case, I would like to ask my father-in-law to convey that Father Wanwang must take care of the dragon's body." After the palace man finished speaking, the second prince said.

The palace people hurriedly responded and saluted the second prince. The prince looked at the second prince again, feeling a little displeased.

Everything he wanted to say was said by the second prince. After thinking about it, he didn't have anything to add, so he walked away first.

The second prince noticed it, but he didn't care, and after a few more instructions to the palace servants, he turned and left.

The rest of the princes and princesses also followed behind them and left the Queen's bedroom together.

The palace people returned from outside the palace and reported everything outside the palace just now to the officials.

The two brothers were talking, when the palace man came in, they stopped for a while, after listening to the palace man's report, the official asked a few more questions, knowing that only the second prince had told him to pass the message, they couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xiao Jin stood aside, knowing that the official's heart must be unhappy.

It would be fine for other princes and princesses, but the prince didn't say anything, so it's no wonder the officials were unhappy.

But if the second child spoke first, according to the prince's temperament, he would definitely not repeat what he said, and it was normal to have nothing to say.

Thinking of this, he looked at the official family, saw him waving his hand to let the palace people back, so he expressed his thoughts.

"Prince, this child..." For a moment, the official didn't know what to say, his eyes fell on Xiao Jin's hands again.

"I also think that he can't be..."

"Your Majesty." Outside the hall, there was another voice from the palace, which was the voice of the official's servant.

The official responded, and the palace servants came in from outside the palace and saluted the two brothers, "Your Majesty, you have already asked."

The queen fainted because of the objects she picked up, and when the officials came, she asked her servants to take her down for interrogation.

When the queen asked people, she didn't use tricks, but the servants around the official family did.

The concubine refused to confess in front of the queen, but when she came to the servants, she couldn't stand the punishment, and she answered whatever she asked.

Xiao Jin noticed that after the official spoke, the valet's expression was a little strange, which made his heart turn a little bit.

"Your Majesty..." The servant hesitated, stealing a look at Xiao Jin, as if he should avoid saying this.

"It's okay." The official saw it and gave an order, so the attendant informed the official of the result of the interrogation, and let Xiao Jin hear it clearly.

Through his interrogation, the concubine admitted that she was with him, and it was the owner of the object in Xiao Jin's hand, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After the servant finished speaking, he quickly knelt down, not daring to look at the official's face, Xiao Jin was also afraid that the official would get angry, so he quickly reached out to support him.

"I'm fine." Even so, the official's footsteps were still a little staggering, Xiao Jin supported him and let him sit on the soft couch.

"Brother Huang, if someone really wants to frame the prince, the confession can also be arranged in advance."

"The crown prince is the crown prince of a country. Even though he has some discord with the crown princess, the crown princess is not the only one in his East Palace."

"Taking a step back, even if the people in the East Palace are no good, there are court ladies in the harem, there is no reason for him to have an affair with his concubine, and he is still in such a place."

"What should I do if I am caught by someone? So I still feel that there is something strange about this matter."

Xiao Jin knew that the prince had always disliked him as the emperor's uncle, and was full of hostility towards him, but they grew up together anyway, so he knew a little about what this child was like.

If he was really allowed to choose, he would still choose the crown prince, not the second prince.

Because of the discord between the prince and the concubine, coupled with such and such things, the emperor's wife became more and more dissatisfied with the prince, and even affected the emperor's brother.

This will make some people wonder whether they should move or not. They don't need to do anything else. As long as the empress's hatred for the prince continues to deepen, the chances will increase.

The official didn't speak, he heard what Xiao Jin said.

"Brother Huang, sister-in-law let the younger brother guard this place, and you go to the meeting too. As for this matter... it is safer to have someone check it out."

Xiao Jin said everything that should be said, and he couldn't say more, looking at the white hair on the official's temples, Xiao Jin began to persuade.

"You go out of the palace too, I will personally guard the queen here." The official waved his hand, seeing his insistence, Xiao Jin had no choice but to respond, and after saluting, he gave the object in his hand to the nearby attendant, and after a few more words, Only then did I leave.

When Xiao Jin left, the valet held the object in his hand and asked the official in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Let's... check it out again." After pondering for a long time, the official ordered, and the waiter responded, and retreated with his things.

After leaving the queen's residence, Xiao Jin didn't leave the palace immediately, he first went to the place where the palace people caught the adulterer, and walked around a few times.

Then he took a look at the place where the object was picked up, and looked at the surrounding environment, and then walked along this road.

This road can indeed lead to the East Palace, but as he said, even if the prince really thinks that the people in the East Palace are boring, there are many court ladies in the harem, even if it is wrong to touch the palace ladies, it is better than touching the emperor's concubines.

"My eldest nephew, although he is not very smart, he is not so confused, after all..."

Talking to himself, Xiao Jin returned along the original path. Suddenly, his eyes froze and he vaguely saw something on the ground, so he walked over to pick it up, and found that it was a small object that could be tied around his waist.

It's just that this object doesn't look like it's used by the master.

Holding the object, he looked around and found that it was very convenient to look at the place where the incident happened from here.

This confirmed his thoughts even more.

After leaving the palace, he asked someone to find out the owner of this small object. At the same time, he tried to find a way to contact the concubine and ask him carefully.

In addition to sending people to investigate, he himself was not idle. The matter was related to the prince, and it was not just a matter of one person.

-

People outside the palace naturally had no way of knowing what happened in the palace. Aunt Fang took the initiative to take over the matter, and after she arranged it in her own way, she sent the person to Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin cross-examined them carefully, and thought they were all good, so she lent them to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng thought that she would not agree in the end, and was a little surprised when she saw the person sent to her...
