Because Wu Sanshui was arrested, the atmosphere in the entire palace became a little strange.
When His Majesty himself passed away, the whole palace was in panic.
Now something like this happened again.
Although not many people know the truth, but again, the truth is not important to most people. Even if they don't know the truth, they know that this is a struggle between princes, a struggle for power.
And what wins in the end is the truth. As for the real truth, does anyone care?
Maybe saying you care is useful?
The obvious answer is that it is useless.
But it's different for Gu Ling'er. She doesn't want her father to die in an unknown way, so...
At this time, the two of them had returned to the Princess Mansion, because there was no need to investigate the case anymore. They could just wait for news and movements from all parties.
soon! The news came.
Shen Polu said: "Princess Qi, Prince, the Sixth Prince has the preliminary results of the interrogation."
"how?"
She, Gu Ling'er, was obviously very concerned and a little nervous.
Lin Bai had no reaction.
Shen Polu said: "The Sixth Prince also arrested some of the imperial guards in Tianlao. It has been determined that Shen Polu was indeed responsible for Xiao Guizi's transfer of contracts."
"But Shen Polu didn't accuse anyone. No matter how the Sixth Prince tortured him, he only said that he did it, and later said that the cashier was responsible for it."
Gu Linger frowned slightly and looked at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "He is a smart man. He was probably coerced."
"How can I see it?"
Gu Ling'er said in confusion, "Since he is being coerced, then the person behind the scenes can coerce him to transfer the suspect, and naturally he can also coerce him to identify the fourth prince."
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "At best, he has troubles when transferring the suspect, but to identify the fourth prince is tantamount to regicide with the fourth prince, and to punish the nine tribes."
"The person behind it is just threatening his family and killing the nine tribes. Is the threat still useful?"
Gu Ling'er nodded, as if that was the case.
"But if everything is done by the fourth prince, it can be explained and he will not identify it."
Lin Bai said: "Yes! So Prime Minister Wang is right. There will be no evidence at all in this case. In the end, it is still a matter of strength. As for what the truth is, you can only rely on yourself to judge."
Gu Ling'er seemed a little disappointed.
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Don't worry, their trump card hasn't been revealed yet, maybe they will know it after seeing it."
Gu Ling'er nodded and said nothing more. Some cases were destined to be fruitless.
But some things are destined to have consequences.
The entire atmosphere in Kyoto began to become a little abnormal. Storms were coming, and news came from the Shen family. There were unusual movements in the major military camps in Kyoto.
This is really the time to finally fight the bayonet.
Time flies, the sun sets in the west, and when the last ray of light disappears on the earth, the heavy Kyoto city gate slowly closes.
Lin Bai sat quietly in the main hall, with Gu Ling'er accompanying him, seemingly worried.
Because she knew what was about to happen.
And it's most likely tonight.
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Don't worry, what is supposed to come will always come. Besides, we are just spectators."
Gu Linger nodded.
And Shen Polu was instructing the guards that the storm was coming, so the safety of the princess mansion was naturally the top priority.
At this time, a soldier came to him and said something. He frowned slightly and then walked towards the hall.
Gu Ling'er asked: "Is there any news?"
Shen Polu said: "There is some information, but it should be of no use."
At this juncture, any news seemed to him to be in vain, because everything at the moment could not be stopped.
Of course, even though he felt this way, he still said: "It's about Mr. Zhou Yingkui. The people below found out that when His Majesty was seriously ill, Zhou Yingkui went to see Prince Gong. After His Majesty passed away, he also went to see Prince Gong." Prince Gong, and met Prince Gong at the gate of the palace, and then the two had a fierce quarrel, the specific reason is unknown."
Prince Gong?
Lin Bai frowned.
Gu Ling'er was also startled, "Master Zhou and Prince Gong are arguing?"
She looked surprised and continued: "Although Mr. Zhou is meticulous in his studies, he is always kind to others. Prince Gong is also a good old man of the royal family. How could the two of them..."
indeed! Zhou Yingkui doesn't look like someone who is looking for trouble. Moreover, he is still outside the gate of Prince Gong's palace. He shouldn't care about his image like this!
Lin Bai paused and asked, "I remember you said that Prince Gong is very familiar with Zhou Yingkui?"
Gu Ling'er nodded, "Yes! They are indeed very familiar with each other. Prince Gong is an idle prince who has no interest in power. Instead, he is curious about some things in Gewu Palace and occasionally goes to Tianli Academy."
Lin Bai's pupils shrank slightly, "In other words, he may have been exposed to thallium?"
Gu Ling'er was startled for a moment and said in surprise: "My husband, don't you suspect that Prince Gong is plotting to murder your father?"
"No way, absolutely impossible."
Gu Ling'er denied it flatly, "Prince Gong has no intention of power and is a free king. His father tried to persuade him to join the court many times but he refused. Perhaps because of this, his father trusted him more and more and gave him great rights." .”
"And he has no interest at all. He will only come forward at critical moments. Like this time when my father died, he was the only one who could control the royal family. Also, when my father was assassinated last time, he was the one who stepped forward to stabilize the situation."
"So it's impossible for him to murder my father."
Seeing what she said so decisively, Lin Bai couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that he was overthinking it?
But at this time, Shen Polu on the side said: "Actually, it is also possible."
Well?
Lin Bai and Gu Linger couldn't help but look at him.
Shen Polu added: "Because of Miss, he may avenge Miss."
"Miss?"
Lin Bai was startled.
Gu Ling'er explained: "The lady General Shen talks about is the queen mother."
Shen Polu continued: "Back then, the young lady was arrogant and arrogant, vowing to assist a prince to ascend to the throne of God. However, the young lady initially had her eye on two people, one was the late emperor and the other was Prince Gong."
"Later, the young lady chose the late emperor. The reason was that the young lady said that Prince Gong was too fond of children."
Lin Bai looked surprised, "Is the love between the prince and his daughter long?"
Shen Polu said: "That's right! Prince Gong was very affectionate towards the young lady, even to the point of obsession. The young lady said that such a person could not be the emperor, so she gave up on him."
Good guy!
My old mother-in-law, whom I have never met, is also a great person!
Although this was true, and the late emperor was indeed worthy of being an emperor, she probably didn't even think that she would die because of it, right?
Anyone who can be an emperor is too ruthless.
Shen Polu continued: "After the young lady chose the late emperor, Prince Gong was depressed for a long time. Later, I don't know how the young lady persuaded him. Instead, he became a staunch supporter of the late emperor. During this period, he made a lot of contributions."
"After the miscarriage, Prince Gong became demoralized and no longer cared about government affairs, so he withdrew from the front office."
"He has a deep affection for the young lady. If he knew that the difficult childbirth was related to the late emperor, he would be able to avenge the young lady."
