Leaving from Yaoguang Palace, Song Jingchen returned to Yugan Palace on the original road. On the palace road outside the palace, he happened to meet Yu Shi who was leaving the palace.

A sedan chair followed behind Mrs. Yu, Song Jingchen withdrew his gaze at a glance, stopped and retreated slightly to the side of the road.

"Sir Song." Yu shi stopped in front of him.

Song Jingchen cupped his hands: "Princess Jing'an."

Mrs. Yu asked, "Did Master Song really search for the prince last night to return the token?"

After asking, she seemed to sense something was wrong, she smiled bitterly: "I mean if Lord Song could find the prince earlier last night, the prince might not have an accident."

Song Jingchen ignored her question directly, and said gratefully: "It turns out that Princess Jing'an also felt that the prince was not harmed by her concubine, so the foreign ministers are relieved."

Yu:  …

"I naturally hope it's not her, otherwise the lord would not know how sad he was at the time... But no matter what, I still hope that Master Song can find the real murderer within five days, otherwise Mrs. Song..."

Song Jingchen: "Let's borrow Wang Fei's auspicious words."

Yu:  …

Song Jingchen didn't play cards according to the routine at all, Yu Shi knew that it was impossible to tell whether he knew something from his mouth, so he had to wipe his tears and lead people away.

"Princess Jing'an is also very pitiful. In the past, the prince... didn't return to Fengcheng very often, but now he left suddenly, His Majesty wants him to be mourned from the palace."

"Your Majesty is too concerned about the lord, but if the princess hadn't come forward this time, those ministers would not be able to convince your majesty..."

The two chamberlains walked over in a low voice, Song Jingchen came back to his senses, glanced at the sedan carriage that was far away, and turned to go to the Imperial Palace.

"What? Sorry? Or do you want to tell me that five days is not enough?" Xuanyuan Qi looked at him condescendingly.

Song Jingchen shook his head: "The foreign minister wants to see the servants of the other courtyard again."

Xuanyuan Qi paused and stared at him for a while with a gloomy expression, then took off a token from his waist and threw it on the imperial case.

Eunuch Wu understood, stepped forward, picked up the token and handed it to Song Jingchen.

The servants of the other court are now in jail.

Coming out of the prison, Song Jingchen rubbed his swollen eyebrows.

"Achen."

A carriage stopped in front of him, Song Jingchen paused: "Mother, why are you here?"

Ji Luo twitched the corners of his lips: "I've heard about him..."

After looking around and not seeing Shen Yijia, she asked, "Why are you alone, Jiajia?"

"Jiajia is still in the palace." Afraid that she would be worried, Song Jingchen just wanted to explain that the other end of the carriage curtain was lifted and Xuanyuan Ziming stuck his head out.

"The palace is my territory, you don't have to worry, I will cover my sister-in-law."

After Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen were taken away by the Imperial Guard, Ji Luo immediately took Mo Yuan to find Xuanyuan Ce, not wanting that the other courtyard in Jinyu Hutong was empty, and went to the palace to ask, those servants also refused to say anything.

Ji Luo had no choice but to go to Xuanyuan Ziming.

At that time, Xuanyuan Ziming had just received the news of Xuanyuance's accident and learned that the husband and wife were taken away by the Imperial Guard, so he prepared to take Ji Luo into the palace together.

Song Jingchen said, "Jiajia is fine."

Xuanyuan Ziming's assurance did not reassure Ji Luo, but Song Jingchen's words made her temporarily hold back the idea of ​​entering the palace to save people immediately.

Why use the word "Save", because Ji Luo knew that Song Jingchen would not have left Jiajia alone in the palace if he was not forced to.

"Let's go back first," she said.

Back home, Song Jingchen explained everything that happened in the palace.

Song Jingchen raised her head after not hearing Ji Luo speak for a long time, only to realize that her expression was a little dazed.

"Xuanyuan Ce, this bastard, he did nothing when he was alive, and he would implicate my daughter when he died." She suddenly scolded in a low voice.

Song Jingchen swallowed her comforting words, and heard her ask again, "You went to see the servants in the other courtyard, but what did you find?"

Song Jingchen frowned slightly: "There is indeed something wrong..."

In fact, those people's rhetoric was similar to what they said in front of the monarch, but Song Jingchen still found a problem in it.

The guard said that when King Jing'an learned that he had gone to find him, he didn't say anything!

Ji Luo frowned.

Thirty thousand blurted out: "That's not right, if it's a subordinate, knowing that someone came to look for his subordinate in the middle of the night, he would definitely wonder if he is in a hurry. For example, if that person comes again, bring them in directly..."

Song Jingchen nodded: "That's the reason, but the lord didn't say anything, and..."

"According to the servants who met the prince last night, the prince didn't say a word from beginning to end after returning to the mansion."

This is actually not surprising in normal times. After all, many times, the master has a look and a movement, and the servant can know what it means.

If the master is in a bad mood, it is common for him not to speak.

But who made the king have an accident? This had to make Song Jingchen think more.

He continued: "If you don't speak, do you want to speak, or can't speak? Why can't you speak, is it because once you speak, it will be exposed..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Luo asked, "Do you think that the person who died in the study was not Xuanyuan Ce at all?"

There are no traces of fighting in the study...

If that person was not Xuanyuan Ce, the cause of death was suicide, or he was willing to be killed, naturally there would be no trace of fighting...

Only in this way can it be completely correct.

As for the veiled woman, it was only intentional for people to see that she wanted to put the blame on Jiajia.

Song Jingchen nodded, hesitated for a moment before saying unsure: "But I observed carefully, there is no trace of disguise on the body."

Mo Yuan knows how to make a human skin mask. He had watched it from the sidelines. Although the mask can be faked, if you observe it carefully, you can still see clues.

I don't know what to think, Ji Luo's face suddenly turned pale, and there was anger in his eyes: "What if it was someone who looked exactly the same?"

Song Jingchen looked at her suspiciously.

"I..." Ji Luo clenched his fists and took a deep breath: "Back then, I didn't actually leave directly."

Xuanyuance said those humiliating remarks in public, and with her temper, she was ready to walk away, but the child in her stomach calmed her down.

She thought that Xuanyuance might have difficulties.

Now that she has this suspicion, she will naturally find out, so someone sent a letter to the palace to ask him to meet.

"Your Highness didn't come to the appointment?" Song Jingchen asked.

After all, if they went to the appointment, the misunderstanding between the two would not be so deep.

"No, he's here." Ji Luo's eyes were filled with undisguised hatred: "But not to explain, but to kill me."

This was also the reason why Xuanyuan Ce didn't intend to forgive no matter how unavoidable she was.

No matter how much trouble he had, and how much he regretted later, it couldn't change the fact that he had murdered her.

She didn't die because her life was big, it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Song Jingchen didn't expect this one to exist, and she didn't want to say that she didn't want Jiajia to be under pressure.

Can……

"It's impossible for your lord to do that," he said firmly.

"What if it wasn't him who came."

Ji Luo's jaw trembled when he said this.

The hurdle that she couldn't overcome was very likely a misunderstanding, how ridiculous.

"Mother..." Song Jingchen didn't know how to comfort him.

Ji Luo closed his eyes and tried to calm down: "If there really is a person who looks like Xuanyuan Ce in this world, where is Xuanyuan Ce really? Is it possible...he is still alive?"

Song Jingchen stood up: "I'll look for it right away."

"Achen." Ji Luo stopped him. "You didn't rest all night yesterday, even if you want to look for it, eat something before you go."

Song Jingchen wanted to say no, but Ji Luo had already asked Mo Yuan to prepare food.

After instructing her, she looked for 30,000 and took three copper plates, and went back to the room alone.

Song Jingchen paused, because Ji Luo had never shown it before, he almost forgot that people in Tianji Valley were good at divination. As the owner of the valley, Ji Luo is naturally good at this.

It should not be difficult to calculate a person's death through divination.

Not long after, Mo Yuan brought a bowl of hot noodles.

The aroma was fragrant, and Song Jingchen felt hungry, but when he picked up the chopsticks, he lost his appetite for a while.

The girl was in the palace, and she didn't know if she was hungry.

In the Imperial Palace, the clerk repeated the words Song Jingchen had asked in the Heavenly Prison one by one.

When he left, Eunuch Wu gave him a careful look.

"Just say anything." Xuanyuan Qi said.

"The old slave is wondering if Mrs. Song will really be wronged."

Xuanyuan Qi paused and said coldly, "I only believe in evidence."

Eunuch Wu opened his mouth. This does not mean that if Lord Song cannot produce evidence within five days, Madam Song will...

Xuanyuan Qi glanced at him, Eunuch Wu understood and waved the other servants back.

"You can keep an eye on it for the past few days. Someone serving here can send news outside." Xuanyuan Qi said solemnly: "If you find out, you don't have to be alarmed, you just need to figure out where to send the news."

Although he was puzzled, Eunuch Wu still bowed his head.

"How?" Xuanyuan Qi suddenly asked again.

Knowing that he wasn't asking himself, Eunuch Wu obediently stepped aside.

A spear guard appeared in the hall.

"There is nothing unusual about Wu's envoy."

"Where's Princess Jing'an?" he asked again.

"As soon as I returned to the mansion, the princess personally led someone to set up the mourning hall, and then stayed by the prince's side, and didn't go anywhere."

Xuanyuan Qi frowned: "Continue to stare."

"Yes."

Eunuch Wu almost thought that he was hallucinating. His Majesty made people stare at Wu's envoys, but why should people stare at Princess Jing'an?

Could it be that His Majesty suspects that the death of the prince has something to do with the princess?

God, he knows so much, won't he be silenced?

But he has no money to buy his life!

Xuanyuan Qi didn't know what he was thinking, and after he finished the command, he leaned back on the dragon chair tiredly, staring at a certain place with dark eyes.

At this time, the inner servant's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen has brought lunch."

Xuanyuan Qi closed his eyes.

Eunuch Wu thought for a while, and boldly stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, the real culprit who killed the prince has not yet been found, so you can't fall down first."

Seeing that he had no objection, Eunuch Wu hurriedly went out and brought in the maid who delivered the meal.

Xuanyuan Qi didn't like extravagance and waste, and the people in the imperial kitchen knew this, and the meals prepared for him on weekdays were as simple as possible.

Today, however, as soon as the food box was opened, Eunuch Wu became angry: "Be bold, the imperial kitchen will send this kind of thing to His Majesty?"

I saw a bowl with a clear bottom in the food box... Let's call it porridge, and I'll say a few grains of rice.

In addition to a plate of green vegetables, the leaves of the green vegetables are still yellow, not to mention, there are not many pieces in total.

The waiter who delivered the meal was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Injustice, wronged, this, this..."

The food he put in the food box is obviously not these.

Xuanyuan Qi looked over and frowned: "What is this?"

Thinking of walking away for a while after packing the food box, the waiter in the meal delivery hurriedly said, "This, this should be because the servant took the wrong food box."

Eunuch Wu sternly reprimanded: "The imperial pantry has always provided meals for His Majesty and the Empress Dowager. You said it was wrong. Do you mean that it was originally intended for the Empress Dowager?"

The concubines in the harem either opened small kitchens in their palaces, or they were provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was impossible for them to be wrong.

Besides, that's all... not to mention the concubines and concubines of the harem, even the servants like them can't eat it.

"But slaves... slaves..." The waiter in the meal delivery trembled and was speechless.

The palace is a place that eats people, and if it is not good, it is easy to lose one's life.

Not to mention that he also bumped into Xuanyuan Qi when he was in a bad mood.

Impatiently listening to his explanation, Xuanyuan Qi closed his eyes again.

"Drag down..." The word stick came to his mouth, and he paused for some reason.

"Go down," he said.

Eunuch Wu was surprised, when did His Majesty become so... good to talk?

Reclaiming his life, the waiter who delivered the meal kowtowed several times: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty."

Afraid that Xuanyuan Qi would retort at some point, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly exited with the food box.

"Wu Zhengde." Xuanyuan Qi knocked on the imperial case: "Go and check, what food has the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared for the girl surnamed Shen."

Eunuch Wu was slightly stunned, and responded that he was going to do it.

As the general manager of the big house, the popular people around the monarch, there are many people in the palace who fawn on Wu Gonggong, and it is not difficult to find out.

Not long after, Eunuch Wu returned with a complicated look.

"Say."

"If the old slave guessed correctly, it should be Mrs. Song who changed His Majesty's food box."

Most of the people in the palace are looking at the dishes. Knowing why Mrs. Song was left in the palace, she...

"Heh." Xuanyuan Qi sneered: "I don't know that there are still people in this palace who dare to be my master."

If he didn't find out this time, what else would they dare to do in these five days?

"Go and find out whose idea was, and find a way to deal with it."

Eunuch Wu understood, no matter what the excuse was, anyway, the crime could not be for treating Mrs. Song harshly.

I can't help but think that those people are really mindless. No matter what, Mrs. Song is the daughter of the prince. As long as she is not convicted for a day, it is not something they can bully.

"It's not good, it's not good." As soon as Eunuch Wu left, a servant hurried in.

Xuanyuan Qi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The inner servant knelt down tremblingly and said, "Song... Mrs. Song smashed to death the crane that the county master gave to the empress dowager."

Xuanyuan Qi: ...

————

The prince who can't eat: I don't know if the palace will prepare meals for the daughter-in-law, oh.

Jiajia: Don't give me food? I grab it myself.

Monarch: You stole my meal, so why did you smash the crane that was the queen mother to death?

Shen Yijia, who deeply remembered that her husband made her have a good time: I'm not full!
