Chapter 322



322 Meeting the Crown Prince (4)

The bailiff hurried in.

A quarter of an hour later, the official of the Supreme Court came out with two junior officials and a group of officials.

“Lord Xu, I’m sorry for not coming out to welcome you.” The official of the court of judicial review came out with a smile.

Xu Qi ‘an got off the horse and greeted him warmly, “”Aiya, why did Sir PEI have to come out personally? I am ashamed, ashamed.”

Xu Qi ‘an had asked the chief of the court of judicial review to come out and receive him, in order to make him look bad and embarrass him. As one of the nine ministers, he had personally come out of the Yamen to meet a small gong. He had lost a lot of face … Everyone had a grudge against each other, so how could he not make good use of this opportunity to make things difficult for her?

“I should, I should.”

The official of the Supreme Court led Xu Qi ‘an inside and said, “”Lord Xu has returned just in time, Fu Fei’s case is definitely yours. However, this Minister must remind Lord Xu that this case is dangerous, so don’t get too deep.”

He was gloating.

Consort Fu’s case was handled as offending the Crown Prince. He couldn’t offend Emperor Yuan jing.

. At least I’ll get a Viscount in exchange. What’s the big deal about offending the old Emperor … Xu Qi ‘an laughed and said, ”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Before I fall in, I’ll definitely take those eyesores away. Since I have the gold medal in my hands, it would be a waste not to use the power of acting first and reporting later.”

The official of the Supreme Court narrowed his eyes. Lord Xu really knows how to joke.

“Lord Xu has come to the Supreme Court for the Crown Prince?”

“Yes, I am.”

……….

Xu Qi ‘an saw the Crown Prince in the ” prison cell. the so-called prison cell was actually a clean and tidy room. The decoration was not luxurious, but it was full of all the essentials.

The Crown Prince was confined in his room. He could not leave before the case was solved.

As expected of the Crown Prince, even in prison, he was different from ordinary people … Xu Qian said.

After the clerk who closed the door left, he cupped his fists and said, “”I am Xu Qi ‘an. Greetings, Your Highness.”

“You’re here to interrogate me, right? did Imperial father let you be in charge of this case?” The Crown Prince sat at the table and looked at Xu Qi ‘an.

the three law divisions tried to avoid this and refused to interfere in this matter. They could only look for me, this pain in the ass. I’ve already offended enough people anyway. Xu Qi ‘an shrugged, sat down at the table, and poured himself a glass of water.

His actions were all seen by the Crown Prince.

“Your Highness, please describe what happened that day in detail.”

The Crown Prince nodded slightly. After a moment of dictating, he slowly said,”That day, when Japan finished my lunch at consort mother’s residence, the snow had yet to melt. I returned to the eastern Palace with the guards and met a Palace maid by Consort Fu’s side on the way. That Palace maid said that Consort Fu invited me over for a chat.

“So I followed her to the clear wind Palace, which is Consort Fu’s bedroom. After entering the clear wind Palace, the palace maid led me up to the loft and told me to wait in the outer hall, saying that Consort Fu was changing her clothes.

“At that time I drank too much wine and was very thirsty, so I drank the tea on the table to quench my thirst. I don’t know how but I fell asleep in a daze.

“Then she was awoken by a scream. I didn’t expect that it was Consort Fu who fell to her death, and bengong became the biggest suspect.”

Xu Qi ‘an asked without any expression, “”There were no Palace maids in the pavilion at that time?”

“There’s no one in the outer hall, I don’t know what’s inside.”

“What about the palace maid?”

“He’s missing.”

He had gone missing … A sharp light flashed in Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes. He put his arms on the table and stared at the Crown Prince.”How did His Highness the Crown Prince know that the palace maid had gone missing?”

For a moment, the Crown Prince was intimidated by the sharp aura of this little Gong.

“Although bengong is in prison, but I have my own way to inquire about the outside world.” The crown prince’s face was cold as he said indifferently.

He was furious at his momentary shock.

Xu Qi ‘an believed the crown prince’s words after seeing his calm expression.

“Does Consort Fu usually have any interactions with the Crown Prince?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

“Naturally not.”

The Crown Prince denied it. As the eastern Palace, he could not and should not have any private interactions with the emperor’s concubines.

“Then why did Consort Fu send someone to invite the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince didn’t even think about it and went to the appointment?” Xu Qi ‘an hit the nail on the head.

“Bengong … I drank too much and didn’t think it through.” The crown prince’s expression was somewhat unnatural.

PEI, wasn’t it still touching her body?

In fact, as a man, Xu Qi ‘an knew what the Crown Prince was thinking. Consort Fu was a beautiful woman with excellent appearance and temperament, and the Crown Prince might have had his reverie in the past.

It just so happened that he had drunk too much wine that day, and it was wine that could strengthen the Yang and kidney … Those who had drunk to the point of tipsy knew that in that state, one would be very floaty. He dared to do things that he usually didn’t dare to think about.

Words that he usually didn’t dare to say were blurted out at the first touch of his lips.

It just so happened that Consort Fu invited him. He didn’t even invite her, and he just went over with a thought …

“It sounds like someone is setting a trap for His Highness.” Xu Qi ‘an analyzed.

“Naturally, someone is trying to frame this Prince. Does Lord Xu also think so?” The Crown Prince heaved a sigh of relief.

“No, no, no, you can’t be so subjective when handling a case. I’ve only described one of the possibilities. There’s another one.” Xu Qi ‘an once again supported himself on the table and leaned closer to the Crown Prince. He said word by word, ”

“That day, His Highness the Crown Prince drank too much wine and his heart was restless. He couldn’t help but think of Consort Fu, who he had been coveting for a long time. In any case, His Majesty was addicted to cultivation and did not get close to women. The crown prince’s lust rose from his heart, and he was filled with evil. He turned around and went to Qingfeng Palace, attempting to Sully Consort Fu.

“Who would’ve thought that Consort Fu would be so unyielding and stubborn? during the dispute, you accidentally pushed her down the pavilion and accidentally fell to her death. After that, you sent someone to secretly get rid of a Palace maid and pretend that you were framed.”

“Nonsense!”

The Crown Prince slammed the table and stood up, unable to restrain his anger.”Xu Qi ‘an, how dare you slander me! How dare you frame me!”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. This is only your humble servant’s guess. As for the truth, it still needs to be verified,” Xu Qi ‘an complimented him with a smile.

Tsk, the crown prince’s shrewdness was still not deep enough. Was he too concerned about his position? How could he become an Emperor in the future with this level of skill?

The Crown Prince and Lin an, this pair of siblings, were not extremely intelligent people. Xu Qi ‘an became more and more suspicious that Emperor Yuan jing had other intentions in making the eldest son of a concubine the Crown Prince.

After the Crown Prince calmed down, Xu Qi ‘an asked again, “”Did the sorcerers from the Imperial astronomer come to see your Highness?”

“This matter involves me, Consort Fu, and the foundation of the great Feng Empire. Do you think father will believe the sorcerers of the Directorate of Celestials?” The Crown Prince sneered.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. After living in the capital for so long, he could see some things.

The Directorate of Celestials had to rely on the imperial family and the Fortune of the dynasty. This could be seen from the fact that Yan Caiwei needed the ” approval ” of the people in the capital to advance to the sixth stage.

However, a first-rank supervisor was really too powerful, so the Directorate of Celestials was not purely a vassal, but more like a cooperative relationship with great Feng.

Emperor Yuan jing might not trust the Directorate of Celestials when it came to the case of the Crown Prince. And the Directorate of Celestials might not be willing to intervene in this kind of trivial matter.

I still need to check the crown prince’s body. I hope that the Crown Prince will cooperate.

Xu Qi ‘an grabbed the crown prince’s hand and examined his wrist, arm, and neck … There were no claw or scratch marks.

I will find out the truth as soon as possible. If the Crown Prince is innocent, I will naturally clear your name. Xu Qi ‘an stood up and cupped his fists.

“Wait!”

The Crown Prince stopped him and said in a deep voice, “”Isn’t xu Daren and Lin an too close?”
