When Chen Yuan figured out that the cause of Concubine Shu's death could not be revealed openly, he had already started to think about other things. Since he could not reveal it,
Then achieve your goals as much as possible.
As for the communication, he felt that as long as he hinted well, Jingtai would naturally know it in his mind. There was no punishment prescribed anyway, and the worst he could do was just saying that he was not doing things well.
It would be better to do this than to expose this matter...
He didn't want to be new and different, and would rather let himself pay the price than kill Sima Ke. He was not qualified to let Chen Yuan die with him.
Besides, now that the big event is approaching, he doesn't want to make any more troubles.
"Why did Mr. Chen meet with the imperial concubine?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone else's eyes focused on him.
Aren’t you investigating the cause of Concubine Shu’s death?
Why are you suddenly involved with the imperial concubine?
"The place where Concubine Shu fell is not far from Chunhua Palace. Maybe we can get some news from Concubine Shu's mouth." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"this...."
The old eunuch seemed a little hesitant, but when Chen Yuan pressed him with such a thing, he couldn't say anything to refute and could only nod.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, led his people straight towards the Chunhua Palace. The two previous maids were arrested again. It was foreseeable that their end would not be good.
It is estimated that Jingtai will not make such a scandal public, and they are the scapegoats on the surface.
This is not what Chen Yuan can do. What he has to do first is to protect himself. It is impossible to really take risks for the truth. This is not in line with his character.
After some information, Chen Yuan met Yang Guifei again.
She still had a graceful and noble posture, staring at Chen Yuan calmly, seeming to have forgotten all the hatred she had before, and said in a solemn voice:
"If Commander Chen doesn't investigate the cause of Concubine Shu's sister's death, why are you coming to my Chunhua Palace?"
She didn't have any polite words and went straight to the point.
Mainly, there is really nothing to be polite about.
Chen Yuan had disrespected her before and contradicted her one after another.
She also killed her biological brother with her own hands, and now he is driven to the frontier. He will never be able to return to the capital again in this life. It was because of him that her son was reprimanded by the emperor.
He was punished to copy scriptures and meditated in the palace.
With all these things, how can we exchange polite greetings?
Chen Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with going straight to the point. He wasn't good at playing tricks and didn't like it, so he said directly:
"I am here to investigate the cause of Concubine Shu's death."
"It's a joke. Our Chunhua Palace is not the Palace of Concubine Shu. How can it have anything to do with Concubine Shu's sister?" Yang Guifei sneered, with an unhappy look on her face, and continued:
"If Commander Chen wants to frame him because of previous grudges, he has found the wrong person."
Chen Yuan was unmoved, looked around the Chunhua Palace, and said calmly:
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Wei Chen suggested that the empress should withdraw from everyone, lest anything bad gets out."
"Hey, what can you say?"
Seeing that the other party still didn't see the rabbit or let go of the hawk, Chen Yuan said softly:
"It's about His Royal Highness the Fourth."
When Concubine Yang heard this, her eyes flashed with a subtle unnaturalness, and she stared at Chen Yuan closely, while Chen Yuan also stared at Concubine Yang with a slight smile.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and finally it was Concubine Yang who withdrew her gaze first, took a deep breath, and ordered to the two palace maids beside her:
"You go and wait outside the door. I have something important to ask Commander Chen."
"yes."
"yes."
Although according to convention, concubines in the harem are not allowed to live in the same room with foreign ministers, in this situation, the two harem concubines did not dare to say anything.
He quickly bowed and retreated.
However, they did not dare to go far and stayed quietly outside the palace. As long as there was any movement, they would be heard immediately. However, to be safe, Chen Yuan waved his hand to cover the Chunhua Palace.
"What do you want to say?"
Concubine Yang asked calmly.
Compared to before, her energy-raising skills did seem to be much better. She didn't know if her nature was like this, or if she knew that Chen Yuan was a tough guy, he wouldn't give her much face, so she naturally became much more polite.
"As I said just now, it was about the death of the Fourth Prince and Concubine Shu."
"Chen Yuan, don't mistake yourself. How dare you frame such a treacherous and unethical thing?" Concubine Yang stared at Chen Yuan.
"Structure?" Chen Yuan shook his head and laughed:
"Chen is a great loyal man of the Jin Dynasty, how dare he commit the serious crime of framing the prince?"
"Then what are you talking about?"
"Everything depends on evidence. Of course, what I said is supported by evidence. I will tell you the truth. All the doubts at the moment point to His Royal Highness. It was he who accidentally killed Concubine Shu."
"Chen Yuan, do you really think that I dare not deal with you?"
"Does the Imperial Concubine really want to be like this? In that case, come over there, just in time, and let everyone in the harem know what scandalous things the Fourth Highness has done."
"you...."
Concubine Yang glared at Chen Yuan.
But he slowly walked up to Concubine Yang and said calmly:
"Concubine Shu died last night because she was pushed into the pool below. At the same time, she also silently blinded the five senses of the two palace maids below.
It was only at this time that something was wrong was discovered, but by this time, the murderer had already left the scene. No... not necessarily, the murderer might be watching the commotion in Chunhua Palace not far away. "
"This is the evidence you said, it's just nonsense?" Yang Guifei sneered.
Chen Yuan smiled, not angry, and continued:
"That was not the evidence on that day. Chen just let the concubine know the general idea. As for the real facts, does the concubine want to hear it?"
"Just say it."
"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded and began to tell:
"On that day, His Royal Highness the Fourth..."
"you!"
"My dear, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say."
"That day, after His Royal Highnesses finished copying the Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, they had a tryst with Concubine Shu in the attic. The two of them rubbed their hair together. Concubine Shu told His Highness that she was pregnant.
The Fourth Highness was in a panic and wanted Concubine Shu to have an abortion, but Concubine Shu was unwilling and wanted to give birth in other ways. However, His Highness was afraid that this matter would affect his future, so he accidentally pushed Concubine Shu. , there will be a missing piece on the fence.
However, Concubine Shu did not fall, but was held by His Royal Highnesses. In order to avoid suspicion and to completely eradicate the root cause, His Highnesses had murderous intentions and used the secret method of the soul to kill the Concubine.
He also deceived the senses of the two palace maids below and pushed down Concubine Shu. However, in the panic, His Royal Highness did not do many things well.
He should have pretended first. It's a pity that at that juncture, he only thought about killing, not the ending. "
"Is this the story you made up?"
Concubine Yang snorted coldly without any panic.
"This is indeed just a story Wei Chen made up casually."
He is not a god, so he cannot restore the situation 100%, as long as it is roughly the same.
"However, it is very close to the truth. What His Highness the Fourth Highness does not know is that the reason why he is suspected by the ministers is precisely because of the aura of dragon incense he inadvertently carries.
"This trace of dragon-scented ink still remains on Xiang Fei's body, well... Even after special treatment, Chen still smelled it,
It can be known from other people's mouths that this dragon-scented ink is only for His Majesty and several princes, and recently, only the Four Highnesses were punished for copying Buddhist and Taoist scriptures. "
"Based on this, you dare to frame the prince of the current dynasty? Do you still want to defraud me? This dragon ink is commonly used in the palace. It is also possible that some people want to frame the prince for doing something scandalous. Your majestic demon sword Chen Yuan , can’t you even think of this?”
Concubine Yang's tone seemed a little sarcastic.
"Of course I have thought of this, but what Chen said is just the first doubt. In addition, there is also the fact that Concubine Shu had an affair with someone for more than a day or two. I am afraid it has been more than a year. Long,
The time when Concubine Shu was admiring the moon recorded by those palace ladies was that she had an affair with someone in the attic. As long as you check the time when His Royal Highnesses entered the palace and compare it with it, you can naturally find out something.
Madam, do you think we should check? "Chen Yuan said with a smile.
Concubine Yang's face turned unusually gloomy because of these words.
Chen Yuan continued: "This is the second one, and the third one is that there is a dead baby in Concubine Shu's belly. As long as it is taken out and the blood is dissolved with the Fourth Highness, it can also be used as evidence."
"All these points point to His Royal Highness, isn't that enough to explain something?"
Concubine Yang's eyes flashed.
Chen Yuan walked forward slowly and lowered his voice:
"Actually, the empress herself knows about this, doesn't she-->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again! 】
? It's just that the time that I know is relatively late, hmm... let me think about it, did it just happen to crash the tryst between the Fourth Prince and Concubine Shu? "
This inference was deduced by Chen Yuan from watching Concubine Yang's changing expression.
When she heard these words, a look of horror flashed across Yang Guifei's eyes. Obviously, Chen Yuan was right. It was indeed that night that she found out that this traitor dared to collude with the concubines in the harem.
It was precisely after she encountered their scandal that she instructed Sima Ke to find a way to kill Concubine Shu. As for the child in her belly, she really didn't know about it at the time.
When the fourth prince killed Concubine Shu, he did not think of a way out and was too panicked. The only way to clear yourself of suspicion is to frame another person.
He didn't do it, so Chen Yuan could easily guess him.
"I don't know what you are talking about!"
Concubine Yang spoke after a long silence.
"At this point, there is no need for you to cover up in front of me. This will not be good for our communication."
Chen Yuan said with a smile, then slowly approached Concubine Yang, and said calmly:
"Empress, you don't want His Majesty to know about this, right?"
He was very close, and the hot air blew on her earlobe, like a hand gently caressing her. Concubine Yang was startled, her eyes flashed and she whispered:
"Chen Yuan, what do you want to do?"
"I just want to make a deal with the imperial concubine. If you don't want to expose this matter to His Majesty, I can help you."
"You would be so kind?"
"Haha."M..coM
"I understand. You also know that you cannot speak out about such scandals. Otherwise, you will not only have no merit, but also have a fault. You are a smart man and will not offend His Majesty."
Concubine Yang also thought of this easily.
"What the empress said makes sense. This is indeed an area that makes Chen hesitate. However... no one knows the specific situation. If this matter is only reported to His Majesty alone, it seems... it doesn't matter."
Of course, this was just a bluff.
After thinking about it, he felt that he should not report the matter to Jingtai, otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable. As for the reason why he was asked to investigate the case, I am afraid that it was within the scope of the Imperial City Division's authority.
Secondly, I think he is a smart person and will not really investigate. Even if he finds out, he will not say anything.
The third is to block Youyou's mouth.
An investigation must be carried out. After all, there is indeed something fishy about Concubine Shu's death. Failure to investigate would cause disgrace to the royal family and would lead to endless speculation.
But this 'cha' refers to just pretending.
Naturally, Jingtai wouldn't make it too clear. Chen Yuan only needs to understand this for himself.
He now even guessed that Jingtai might have known the truth about Concubine Shu's connection.
"what do you want?"
Chen Yuan's request was naturally in their best interest. Otherwise, once he was exposed, Ke'er's future would be completely ruined. Even for the sake of appearance, Ke'er will be crippled or even executed...
Now it was Chen Yuan who controlled Sima Ke's destiny. Even though he was also on the line, she didn't dare to gamble. No matter what request he made, she would try her best to satisfy it.
"What can your Majesty give me?"
Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I will naturally try my best to satisfy you." Yang Guifei whispered.
"My dear, please don't tell me that I seem to be some evil person. Now, it was Chen who saved your mother and son regardless of past grudges. You are repaying this."
Chen Yuan's eyes were a little cold and stern.
If there was a chance, it would be best to kill them, but the time was not yet available, so it would be detrimental to him to do it rashly, and killing them would not bring any substantial benefits to Chen Yuan at the moment.
Stay steady first, then figure it out slowly...
Concubine Yang stared at Chen Yuan, looked at the unscrupulous look in his eyes, and sighed softly:
"That's what Mr. Chen said."
"What Chen wants is very simple. In the future, the hatred between you and me will be wiped out. If Sima Ke is found to have the slightest intention to target me again, he will definitely die as soon as this incident comes out.
In addition, I heard that the imperial concubine has a ban on free entry and exit of the harem. Give me a piece. Maybe there will be an opportunity someday to support the empress's grace. "Chen Yuan looked indifferently and said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.
Sima Ke was not in his eyes at all. As long as the other party calmed down temporarily and he accumulated strength, he would have the opportunity to make him repent for what he had done.
The reason why he came to Chunhua Palace to threaten Concubine Yang was because of the ban on the harem in her hands.
Yang Guifei is the imperial concubine, second only to the queen. She has a high status in the harem. Naturally, she has a token in her hand that allows people to come and go freely. If he wants to wait until the ancestor worship ceremony to sneak into the harem, he must have a ban to help.
Otherwise, there is only a dead end if you force your way through.
Even if Jiang He and others attracted most of the court's attention, there must still be strong people sitting in the palace.
His main purpose is to rescue Moro, not to fight...
"Harem ban?" Yang Guifei frowned and asked:
"What do you want this for?"
"As I said just now, I just want to support my empress from time to time. Why, you can't satisfy Wei Chen with such a small request?"
Chen Yuan has the opportunity to enter the harem with the help of Li Hongshuang, but it is inevitable that he will be interrogated and may be tricked, which is not very appropriate.
"I can agree to your request, but you have to know that even if you know this in your heart, you can't be too rude."
Concubine Yang closed her eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, you think too much."
Chen Yuan chuckled lightly. He had no interest in becoming Sima Ke's stepfather. Although Yang Guifei, who was nearly fifty years old, still looked good, she was not that attractive to him.
Moreover, he, Chen, has never been a womanizer.
Concubine Yang looked at Chen Yuan deeply for a moment and handed him the ban on the harem. She knew that Chen Yuan must have other plans, but she had to act according to his words at this moment.
For the sake of my son, this is something I have to give.
She just hoped that what Chen Yuan did would not go too far, otherwise... even the imperial concubine's waist card would be her life-saving talisman.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave." Chen Yuan did not stay any longer and turned to leave. But halfway through, he suddenly turned around and said, "My Majesty, I would like to warn Your Highness, please be careful when doing this kind of thing in the future."
After saying that, Chen Yuan left directly.
Only Concubine Yang was left with a gloomy and uncertain expression.
After a long time, he regained his composure, turned around and walked towards somewhere in the palace.
The fourth prince Sima Ke was currently writing Buddhist and Taoist scriptures according to Jingtai's order, but his arms were shaking a little and he couldn't calm down to write.
After killing Concubine Shu, he has been worried.
He was afraid that because of this incident, his furious father would directly kill him.
He...is scared!
This incident is actually related to Chen Yuan. After Chen Yuan broke through the barrier before, he was reprimanded. His heart was full of depression and resentment. He wanted to vent it out on this kind of thing, but in the end, something like this happened by accident. Son, he was caught by his mother and concubine...
You can only commit suicide, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
But now, the consequences have come. The person who traces Concubine Shu's death is his enemy...Chen Yuan.
If he found any clues, how could he be tolerated?
And he had just learned that Chen Yuan was meeting his mother-in-law in the hall.
Hearing the familiar footsteps approaching, Sima Ke swallowed, quickly put down the brush in his hand, stood up and walked quickly towards Concubine Yang, and asked:
"Mother, why did Chen Yuan come to Chunhua Palace...?"
Before he finished speaking, Concubine Yang slapped him in the face and scolded:
"You bastard, you dare to touch the emperor's woman!"
"Concubine...I..."
"Do you know that Chen Yuan has already investigated this matter on you?"
"Then what should I do, concubine, you have to find a way to save me." Sima Ke said quickly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Hmph, I will settle this matter for you for the time being. Chen Yuan will not report the scandal you have done to His Majesty." Yang Guifei took a deep breath and said.
"How is it possible? How could he let me go?" Sima Ke asked subconsciously.
In his opinion, he had completely broken up with Chen Yuan. How could he let him go? This is absolutely impossible.
"Don't worry about this matter, and don't provoke Chen Yuan again in the future. Your destiny is in his hands, and he can destroy you at any time."
Concubine Yang said solemnly.
"I..." Sima Ke's tone was choked. Looking at the graceful figure of his mother-in-law, he was suddenly startled and thought of a possibility. Could it be that because of this matter, his mother-in-law... committed herself to Chen Yuan?
He had heard that Chen Yuan had a plump woman in Tangshan, known as Mrs. Xu...
Her hobbies are also different from ordinary people, she is a good wife...
