Chapter 467 Come at the Right Time

Qin Wu didn't quite believe it, "Qiying, what are you thinking?"

"No, Qin Wu, I still have a headache now, I think it's very strange, I seldom have a headache, and I'm still groggy now."

Qin Wu heard the words, "Oh, why don't I go and investigate with Qiying."

"Alright, you guys go check it out. After a while, I should also go to court."

Qin Wu and Qiying were about to get up, when outside, the butler suddenly ran over again, "Fourth Highness, Fourth Highness."

"what happened again?"

"Your Highness, someone came to the palace and said that they want you to enter the palace as soon as possible?"

"Are you in such a hurry? It's not time to go to court yet." Qiying said.

"The slave doesn't know either. The other party came in a hurry, and his attitude was not very good. So I hurried to tell His Highness."

"Okay, I'll go into the palace now, Qin Wu will follow me, Qiying will stay, and I will tell the princess when I turn around."

The people in the court arrived suddenly.

Luo Ziyan had a bad premonition in his heart.

It shouldn't be a good thing to find him so early in the morning.

If it is a good thing, it can wait until the court.

Luo Ziyan entered the palace together with the eunuch who came.

After entering the palace, they headed all the way to Long'an Hall, the emperor's bedroom.

In Long'an Palace, only the palace servants got up to do a day's cleaning at this time.

As soon as Luo Ziyan entered, he saw Wei Mingru.

Wei Mingru was wearing bright yellow obscene clothes and only a fur coat, sitting on the couch, his eyes full of anger.

And Zhang Tiannan, whom he had just met last night, was also there.

Luo Ziyan fell to his knees: "I see my father."

"Hmph." Wei Mingru hummed softly from his nostrils, "You came in time."

"Father, my son doesn't know what happened? It made my father angry."

"I don't know, look, what is this?" Wei Mingru sternly pointed at the table beside him.

On the table were two daggers wrapped in white cloth.

He took a brief look over it, and it was very similar to the two that Zhang Tiannan found yesterday.

"Well, what does this have to do with Erchen?"

"Look carefully, this dagger belongs to your fourth prince's mansion."

Luo Ziyan didn't believe it, so he copied it and looked at it carefully.

On the blade, the Wei character of the Wei family's royal family was clearly engraved, and at the same time, there was a golden "四" character on the back.

This is indeed the property of the fourth prince's mansion.

He remembered that when he first entered the mansion, Qian Yan had counted them, and there were indeed several such daggers.

At that time, Mu even told him that every prince would have one.

In other words, it should be every member of the royal family, all their things are marked with the royal family, so that it was originally to show their identity.

But now, the existence of these two daggers has become evidence of his murder.

Luo Ziyan put the dagger back on the throne, "Father, this man was not killed by my son."

"Then why, the dagger of your fourth prince's residence will be on them."

"I don't know here either. But when I arrived last night, the two of them were already dead. I didn't even know who these two people were. Why did I kill people? Commander Zhang was also there last night."

"Alright then, Zhang Tiannan, tell me what you just said to me, and tell the fourth one again."

Zhang Tiannan said: "It's like this. Last night, the patrolmen told the general that it seemed that someone was chasing people with knives and saw three or four figures. The general thought at the time that this was near the palace, and he was afraid that it would do something to the palace. Unfavorable. So I took a lot of people to track it down."

"At the beginning, the last general didn't find anything. It was only after he heard the voice that he discovered it in the alley. Someone was indeed killed, and at that time, His Royal Highness was also present."

"Go on."

"At that time, the general did not recognize the fourth highness, because the fourth highness was dressed too discreetly. The fourth highness would investigate carefully, and the final sent someone to pull out the dagger from the deceased, and found that it was the dagger of the fourth prince's residence. "

"At that time, the last general was really startled, but the Fourth Highness was very calm at that time, and the last general didn't know how to tell the fourth highness. So, he took people and things back and continued to investigate."

As Zhang Tiannan said, Luo Ziyan also listened patiently, "What about the back?"

"Later, the general went back and called Wu Zuo to investigate. When Wu Zuo said that the deceased died, it actually coincided with the time when the Fourth Highness arrived. In addition, the two daggers were here, and the general thought over and over again, I don't know. What to do, so I came early this morning and told the emperor."

Zhang Tiannan finally concluded: "Fourth Highness, the final general does not mean that this person must have been killed by His Highness, but His Highness is really the most suspicious."

"Fourth, do you understand Zhang Tiannan's words?"

Luo Ziyan nodded, "Yes, I fully understand."

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Father, maybe the time of the deceased's death is more consistent with the time when the son appeared. But father, it is true that the son did not kill the person. How can the son say that he is also a prince. If you want to kill someone, you can kill him openly. , there is no need for the minister to do it secretly. Besides, there is no need for the minister to do it himself."

Luo Ziyan's words seemed to have reminded Wei Mingru.

Wei Mingru sighed, "Yes, your words are also reasonable. But why did you come out in the middle of the night?"

"That's because in the middle of the night, a young servant said that someone was looking for Erchen at the back door, and Erchen went there. Who knew that after chasing all the way there, he found the dead."

"Your Highness, the place where the deceased died is still some distance from the residence of the Fourth Prince."

"Yes, that's because I found footprints." Luo Ziyan repeated what happened to him last night.

He is well-founded, and his emotions are very stable.

This surprised both Wei Mingru and Zhang Tiannan.

So it looks like, isn't it really him?

So, who will it be?
At this moment, Director Wang's voice broke the brief silence of Long'an Hall.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Second Prince has arrived."

"Huh? Wei Zhi is here too? Let him in."

Hearing Wei Zhi's footsteps, he came in.

Luo Ziyan couldn't help but fell into thinking.

This Wei Zhi came at the right time.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhi arrived in front of Wei Mingru, "Your subject sees my father."

"You get up."

"Father, huh? Isn't this the fourth brother? Fourth brother, why are you here?" Wei Zhi looked at him and asked in surprise.

"Oh, I'm because there are some things that need to be explained clearly."

Wei Zhi nodded, and looked at Wei Mingru again, "Father, my son came so early, I have something I want to talk to my father, and this is before the time to go to court."

"What's the matter with you?" Wei Mingru asked impatiently.

"My son just got the news that Zhang Tiannan, the commander of the guard capital, found the two dead."

"Yes, there is such a thing. How do you know?"

"Father, this is because someone reported to my son that two of the guards in our palace disappeared overnight, so my son wanted to come over to see if the dead man found by Commander Zhang is the same person? "
