County Lord Changning

Chapter 496 Brother Siblings
When Sima Xuan arrived at the Jinluan Hall, the emperor was angry at Li Fugui. Standing outside the hall, Sima Xuan heard that the anger of the man inside was almost extinguished, so he sent the eunuch to report. The emperor heard that Sima Xuan was coming, and suppressed himself. He was so angry that the eunuch asked him to come in. When Sima Xuan heard the announcement, he put away his pressure and disgust, and walked in quickly.

When the emperor saw Sima Xuan's calm look, there was a flash of emotion in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up. He sighed and asked lightly, "I didn't come to the court today. How about going to the palace at this time?" What? If you don’t feel well, just take a rest.”

When Sima Xuan heard the emperor's words, a sneer flashed in his heart, but his face was meticulous. After saluting the emperor, he stood up and said softly, "I don't want to see those who disagree with each other arguing, so I didn't I came, but my son has already thought about how to catch the murderer quickly and relieve your worries, father."

The emperor didn't have much interest in listening to what Sima Xuan said, but when he heard what Sima Xuan said, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, when his stupid son is also useful?It seems that after Qin Changning's death, this kid also recovered his intelligence, instead of just thinking about that woman blindly, now it seems that he should be of some use.

"Come and listen to me." The emperor glanced at Li Fugui, Li Fugui responded, and took the little eunuch out, leaving Sima Xuan and the emperor and his son in the hall.

Seeing the emperor's actions, Sima Xuan snorted coldly in his heart, but with a meticulous smile on his face, he said in a low voice, "Father, who do you think has enmity with sister Changning in this capital? And who wants to set Changning up?" The younger sister has been persevering in sending people to hunt and kill her since she died?"

When the emperor heard what Sima Xuan said, a gleam flashed in his eyes, he squinted at Sima Xuan, and said in a deep voice, "Who?"

"Of course he is the most powerful prime minister in the current dynasty." Sima Xuan said calmly, "At the beginning, the family of Prince Jin's family encountered two chases and murders on the way back from meeting the provincial relatives of Jialing. The minister also sent someone to investigate. This has something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the last time the Prince Jin's Mansion was on fire, although it was said that the concubine of the prince who escaped did it, but I heard that the concubine was arranged by the champion. If the emperor follows this line to investigate, he will definitely be able to find out the connection between them."

The emperor was silent for a moment, thinking of the letter that Sima Xuan had written to him a few days ago, he tapped it lightly on the table with his fingers, and then looked at Sima Xuan after a while, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think about this matter?" Who is best to hand it over to?"

"Prime Minister Xiao and Champion Hou are both first-rank ministers in the court. Officials with low ranks are naturally not suitable for doing this kind of thing. The only ones who can do this are the princes or princes of the court." Sima Xuan was silent for a moment when he said this, " But now the emperor's uncle has traveled around the rivers and lakes, and he can't find anyone anymore, and the son-in-law is with Prime Minister Xiao...so the son-in-law is not suitable to appear in that capacity, for the sake of fairness..." Sima Xuan looked up at the emperor, Kneeling down with cupped hands, he said in a deep voice, "That's why I affirm that the emperor released the elder brother from prison, and let the elder brother serve as the presiding officer of this case, and be the master of Jin's family!"

The emperor took a deep look at Sima Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground with a sincere look, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice after a long while, "Do you mean it sincerely when you say this? Do you really want me to call your emperor Brother let it out?"

"There is still no definite evidence for the case of the big emperor brother, which means that the big emperor brother may have been murdered by an adulterer. Now the queen empress is gone, and the second emperor brother also committed suicide. In other words, Brother Dahuang is the only sibling of this subject, so naturally I don't want Brother Dahuang to be wronged, so I ask Father, you... be magnanimous and release Brother Dahuang."

Sima Xuan's face was gloomy, his eyes kept looking at the emperor, and he snorted coldly in his heart. He probably doesn't know yet. Now the outside world has turned upside down because of the fact that the heavenly girl was burned to death. Once Qin Changning died, he gave it to other countries. The reason for attacking the Great Zhou, the originally glamorous Great Zhou, may soon become history, and Sima Xuan has no interest in the Great Zhou that is about to become history.

As for those people, even if he doesn't want Da Zhou's country, he will still put them to death before he gives up this country!

The emperor looked deeply at Sima Xuan, and after a while he nodded his head and said, "What you said makes sense, let's do what you said."

In the dungeon, Sima Chen was still immersed in the grief of the queen's death, when he suddenly heard the jailer's conversation, he was taken aback, hurriedly grabbed the prison door and stood up, asking anxiously, "What are you talking about? The whole family of Prince Jin's Mansion has died! What's going on!"

The jailer looked at Sima Chen's appearance, snorted coldly, continued the topic he had just said, and ignored Sima Chen. In their eyes, Sima Chen was a prince who had been abandoned by the emperor, and now he was just a prisoner waiting to die. They didn't have to To obey his orders, there is no need to serve him to please him, so now Sima Chen is just an existence humbler than air to them.

Seeing that the two guards ignored him, Sima Chen sighed and begged in a low voice, "My lords, please explain clearly, what happened to the eldest princess's family? Who set the fire? Has the murderer been caught?" Are there any survivors among them? No, are the eldest princess and the others injured?"

"Yo, our Crown Prince asked in such detail. Could it be that he wants to find out the truth and make decisions for the Jin Palace?" One of the jailers laughed and said, "You can't protect yourself now, so why do you care about other people's affairs? ?”

Sima Chen's face froze when he heard the jailer's words, and the whole person in the room slid slowly against the wall and sat on the ground, staring blankly at the front, and murmured, "You are right...you There is nothing wrong with what I said...I am a dying person, so how can I care about other people's affairs...It's just that I killed too many people...My mother's mother...Grandfather's family...and...Prince Jin's mansion, they are all because of My stupidity will kill me...it's all my fault!"

"How can I blame you, Brother Emperor?" A cold voice came from outside, and the sluggish jailer hurriedly stood up and saluted Sima Xuan, "Third Prince, why are you here?"

Sima Xuan didn't even look at the two of them, and went straight to Sima Chen's cell door, stood there, looked down at the depressed Sima Chen, and said in a deep voice, "It's all the fault of those who framed the emperor's brother!" , has anything to do with Brother Huang, so, Brother Huang, for Changning's family, you come to be their presiding officer!"
