Chapter 633

Looking at the letter in his hand, the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty looked gloomy.

Gu Yizhen, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, said: "Your Majesty, this is the latest clue I found. The imperial doctor Zhang Yaoshun accepted a bribe of 10000 liang of silver and deposited it with his concubine. Although the imperial doctor Zhang has died, the concubine Li's words can be used as evidence. I have found out the truth. It's just... The person who bought the imperial doctor Zhang..."

At this point, Gu Yizhen hesitated and didn't know whether to say it or not.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove who bought Zhang Yaoshun, Gu Yizhen has experienced so many cases for decades. How can a pair of fire eyes not see through? Although there are more than ten thousand Liang silver, it can let Doctor Zhang, the master of the hospital, do such a thing at the risk of beheading. The identity of the man behind it can't be underestimated.

If you want to know who is the mastermind behind this, you just need to see who benefits from the result.

Now the princess of Chu has escaped and doesn't know her whereabouts. Her Royal Highness the prince is under house arrest. It's useless for the queen to plead. A prince died directly in the palace of King Wuyang. Princess Qinghe was going to be the crown princess. As a result, I'm afraid the matter will be suspended.

Only the second prince, who can see him from beginning to end, was not involved, or even had nothing to do with the case. Can you really prove that the second prince has nothing to do with it?

On the surface, it is true, but Gu Yizhen dare not imagine the facts.

If your Highness the prince is implicated in this matter, poisoning the prince of the palace, killing so many royal guards in order to hide criminal evidence, and even mistakenly killing many innocent people, such a great crime, not to mention being stripped of the crown prince's position, it's even difficult to save your life!

Then the next one on the top can only be the second prince!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt frightened. It was clear that the name had come to his mouth, but Gu Yizhen couldn't say it. It's so much involved that he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty was silent. He held the letter tighter and tighter, and finally squeezed the paper into a ball.

His face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't vent his anger. Gu Yizhen didn't understand what he said. It was because he understood and understood that the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty was more and more silent.

How to choose the two sons you value most?

Although the evidence proves that everything was done by the boss Lin Yixuan, there is no reason to seriously analyze it. Why did the boss kill Zhao Shizi? Was it just to vent his anger on Princess Chu? The boss is so smart, how can he do such a thing for a woman?

Even if you want to retaliate against Zhao Shizi, according to the boss's mind, it will never be so obvious. The southern Wei emperor was convinced.

If the boss didn't do it, it could only be the second Lin Xiaochen. The southern Wei Emperor himself had experienced this kind of struggle between brothers. Every prince, before he ascends the throne, can accept that he kills his father, but he can't accept that his son will follow suit after he is emperor.

The emperor of Southern Wei only hoped that his two sons would love each other and support each other, so as to make the development of Southern Wei more and more powerful. But why didn't he know what his dick had done? Before the Congress of the four countries, the second son had secretly attacked the boss, so that the boss almost died in Xichu. He didn't know it.

He endured it and beat his dick to let him know his identity. The crown prince is the boss.

But the second son promised on the surface, turned around and made such a thing again, and this time he led many people and even killed the prince's son. Would he have to appease the traitor? Will you continue to tolerate him for the sake of his own son?

If he goes to question, I'm afraid the second will not admit it?

With a deep sigh, the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty was as listless as if he were ten years old.

"Your Majesty is not well?" Gu Yizhen is waiting for the decision of the southern Wei emperor. Seeing his majesty like this, he knows that he is also in a dilemma.

The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty helped the forehead and said for a long time: "well, this case is temporarily suspended until I think about it. Gu Aiqing, I'm a little tired. You let the people below continue to look for the whereabouts of Princess Chu, but don't say much. Everything will be fine as usual."

Gu Yizhen said respectfully, "yes, your majesty."

Slowly back to the warm Pavilion, the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty sat down for a while, and empress Xiao came again.

Seeing empress Xiao's expression, the emperor of Southern Wei knew what she was going to say. Before, he was impatient for Empress Xiao's loving mother, but now he also tasted it. He was in a dilemma and felt a headache.

"Yes, your majesty." Empress Xiao Yingying bowed with countless sorrows in her eyes.

"Don't use these hypocrites, Queen. Come and sit here." The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty looked lonely, and he had no smile. In his mind, he always thought that his two sons were competing for positions and did not hesitate to frame each other, but he couldn't make a decision. Even if it's solved this time, what will happen later?

Empress Xiao sat down, but for a moment she began to cry again.

"Your Majesty, my concubine dreamed again last night. I dreamed that the prince was killed by an assassin in the Forbidden Palace. He was covered with blood. My concubine woke up at once. Your majesty, my concubine, please, can you let my concubine go to see the prince?" Empress Xiao cried as she spoke. Her loving mother's heart was full of tears.

In the past, the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty would only think that empress Xiao's loving mother had lost more children, but now he knows that the crown prince may have been wronged, and the person who started it is still his second son. As long as he wants to find out the case, he must deal with one.

Can empress Xiao stand that the eldest son has just been released and the second son has been disposed of again?

The palm and back of the hand were all meat. The emperor of Southern Wei finally tasted the embarrassment and pain of the emperor as his father. How on earth should we make a decision?

"Your Majesty, what kind of temperament has Yixuan since he was a child? Has your majesty forgotten? He will never do that kind of thing. Ask your majesty to make a clear observation and let Yixuan go? Even if you want to investigate the case, you will put the crown prince under house arrest without authentic evidence, which will damage his reputation. If you later verify that the crown prince did it, that's all. But if the crown prince didn't do it, wouldn't you have wronged him? His father's wife How to compensate for the first Qingming Festival? "

In order to save Lin Yixuan, empress Xiao broke out. Even if she was punished by the southern Wei emperor, she couldn't care.

With a long sigh, the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty said, "I know well. The queen doesn't have to worry. I have something to deal with. The queen will step down first."

Seeing that the southern Wei emperor seemed indifferent and didn't listen to her, empress Xiao knelt down directly: "your majesty!"

"Empress, you are..." the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty didn't expect the queen to be like this. He was a little unhappy: "get up quickly. As a queen, how can you kneel down at will? If you are seen, won't it lead to gossip again?"

Empress Xiao insisted: "no, your majesty, what if my concubine kneels once for Yixuan? My concubine is willing to protect her life. Yixuan is innocent. If your majesty doesn't let Yixuan out, my concubine will be unable to kneel."

"Nonsense, not yet."

The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty directly went to pull empress Xiao up, but she couldn't afford to be gentle and dignified at ordinary times. It was like touching the ground. Her eyes looked at him eagerly: "Your Majesty, can't you please? As long as you let Yixuan go, your majesty can investigate whatever he wants. My concubine only wants that."

The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty was also angry when empress Xiao forced him. He said directly, "well, I ask you, since the empress is willing to be a guarantor, it can be found out that the crown prince did it?"

"No, it's impossible. Yixuan won't..."

"What if!"

Listening to the gloomy words of the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty and her expressionless face, empress Xiao said without hesitation: "since my concubine protects Yixuan, I believe in my son. If Yixuan really does this kind of dehumanizing, vicious and cruel thing, it proves that I, the empress of my mother, have not educated him well. My concubine is willing to accept any punishment from your majesty. If I want to kill or cut, I have no complaints."

With a cold smile, the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty said, "what if you find out that the second son actually did it? What about you?"

"What, Xiao Chen?"

Unexpectedly, the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty turned so fast that empress Xiao was stunned on the spot.

Even though she was a woman and never participated in the government, as a queen, how could she not understand the implication of the words of the southern Wei emperor? Lin Xiaochen, her second son... How is it possible? She absolutely did not believe that the southern Wei emperor casually mentioned Lin Xiaochen.

There is only one possibility. The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty has long found out that this case was not done by crown prince Lin Yixuan, but by second prince Lin Xiaochen!

Everything is clear.

Empress Xiao was cold all over. Her previous toughness and determination melted like ice and snow, and her body was soft and paralyzed on the ground. Such a strong blow and stimulation made her completely unable to believe that Lin Xiaochen, the second son she also valued, how could he do it?

"Your Majesty, are you... Mistaken..."

Empress Xiao forced a few words from her teeth, clenched her fists and stiffened.

The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty didn't want to hurt her, but some words didn't work, and some things had to be solved: "I also like to make a mistake, but some things can be done if I don't want to? Empress, I'm also embarrassed, do you understand?"

"Really... Really Xiao Chen?" The words of the southern Wei emperor could not be clearer. Empress Xiao was like a thunderbolt with a dull look. "It's impossible, it won't be. How can it be Xiao Chen? Yixuan is his eldest brother. How can he harm his eldest brother? How can it be!"

"What's impossible? The heavenly family is ruthless. Has the queen forgotten?"

The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty said sternly, "the queen still remembers what I did when you were the third prince and concubine? How did I ascend the throne and how much you paid to have today's glory? Have you forgotten?"

Like a basin of ice water, empress Xiao suddenly remembered.

Yes, isn't she the same way as her majesty? Why could she be so cruel at first, but now she can't accept it? Yes, because it was her two sons who killed each other. As a mother, she didn't want to see any harm among them, but in fact, she couldn't control it at all.

"Does your majesty want to deal with Xiao Chen?" Empress Xiao could not bear it again, and her tears rolled down.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but the queen knows it. Don't think about it, because it's useless to think about it." The emperor of Southern Wei said coldly, "I have said enough today. The queen should go back and don't go out of the palace these days."

Seeing empress Xiao leave, the heart of the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty is like a snake.
