Early the next morning, Long Jiu got up with Xiao Tingyun in high spirits. She looked so energetic that it was impossible to tell that she had difficulty getting up before.
In order to follow Xiao Tingyun to the Great Court Meeting to watch the excitement, Long Jiu worked very hard.
After eating breakfast, Long Jiu followed Xiao Tingyun into the speed car. The housekeeper watched the two people leave with a smile, but didn't ask a word.
And when the car drove away from the prince's residence, Long Jiu turned into a small dragon as thick as a little finger and coiled around Xiao Tingyun's wrist, and asked enthusiastically: "What will the great dynasty be like?"
After Xiao Tingyun set up the automatic flight, he touched the little silver dragon's head and said, "You will know later."
The Xingluo Empire still retains the royal system from the ancient Earth period, and all major court meetings are held in the meeting hall of the palace.
The speed car parked outside the palace, and Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu passed through more than ten security monitoring stations before entering the meeting hall.
Long Jiu quietly poked out a little from his sleeves and looked outside curiously. After looking around, he shrank back and said with some disappointment: "There's nothing good to see here, it's just a decent-looking hall." That’s all.”
Many ministers had already entered the meeting hall. Xiao Tingyun gently pressed his hand on his sleeve to signal her to be silent.
Until the emperor arrived and the court meeting began, Long Jiu quietly waited for the show to begin.
Although the attack on the second prince in the royal sanatorium happened in the middle of the night last night, everyone who should know knew it, so the atmosphere of this morning's court meeting seemed solemn and weird from the beginning.
And Long Jiu didn't have to wait long for the show to officially begin.
The second prince Xiao Xingze was pushed in in a wheelchair by the guards. As soon as Xiao Xingze came in, he began to cry miserably to the emperor. After the second prince finished crying, several ministers who supported the second prince also started to cry. While crying, he scolded and made trouble. The whole court meeting was like a vegetable market.
Long Jiu was simply amazed when he saw it.
Emperor Xiao Junchen's face was ugly. He only had two sons, and of the two sons, only Xiao Xingze was considered promising. Even if this son's legs were disabled, with today's medical technology and the transplantation of bionic mechanical legs, he would still be a normal person. .
But it happened that the son he had high hopes for was attacked last night, and he was attacked in the royal sanatorium. If it weren't for the captain of the guard beside him who desperately protected him, he might have been in trouble last night. What a big joke!
Xiao Junchen comforted the second prince for a few words, and then looked at Xiao Tingyun, who was sitting under his right hand. When he knew that the second prince was attacked, the first person he suspected was the prince.
However, Xiao Tingyun didn't seem to notice the emperor's gaze. He looked at Xiao Xingze in the palace with a calm expression.
Xiao Xingze saw the suspicious look the emperor was looking at the prince. In the past, he would definitely blame Xiao Tingyun, but this time it was different. He really almost died last night. Death The fear that brought him turned into raging anger after a night of fermentation, so he hated the queen. His hatred for the queen even exceeded that of Xiao Tingyun.
The emperor only knew that Xiao Xingze was attacked, but he did not know the cause and effect. Therefore, after looking at the prince for a while, he asked in a deep voice: "What does the prince think about this?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the ministers who supported the prince in the court meeting changed. The emperor was clearly doubting the prince.
But before the princelings came out to speak, Xiao Tingyun said calmly: "I don't have any opinion, I'm just shocked that someone dared to attack the prince in the royal sanatorium, and almost succeeded. It seems that the security system of the royal sanatorium needs to be strengthened." .”
The emperor asked reluctantly: "Just shocked?"
Xiao Tingyun glanced at him calmly, and then looked at Xiao Xingze who had his head lowered and said nothing in the palace. He suddenly smiled and said: "Whether I am shocked or something else, shouldn't your Majesty ask the person involved? What do you think? As the person who was attacked last night, the Second Prince himself should know better."
Xiao Junchen frowned and looked at the second prince. He felt that what the prince said was a bit strange, but he couldn't pin the matter on the prince's head without evidence, so he could only ask the second prince: "Xingze , do you have any clues about the attack last night?"
Xiao Xingze raised his head tremblingly. When it comes to acting skills, even the best actors and actresses who are famous all over the world cannot compare to the royal family.
At this moment, the second prince looked like a pitiful little boy who had been bullied. He could not see the arrogance and arrogance of the past at all. Before he could say anything, his eyes turned red, and he almost choked up and said: "Father, Before his son was attacked, his private villa in Jingtianhua Mansion also caught fire inexplicably last night."
The emperor looked at him with confusion, wondering how his son could get involved in the fire in the villa again.
Xiao Xingze continued: "In my son's villa, a family was rescued last night, but it burned down in the middle of the night. Even the fire extinguishing system in the villa couldn't put out the fire. If it weren't for that family's life being saved, it would be impossible." He might have died in the fire."
"Not long after the fire broke out in the villa, my son was attacked in the Royal Nursing Home. My father should know how high-level the security system of the Royal Nursing Home is, but the people who attacked my son last night were like no one. It’s like this, the security system doesn’t respond at all..."
At this point, the emperor finally noticed something was wrong. He looked at Xiao Xingze hesitantly and asked: "You mean the fire in your villa last night and the attack on you in the nursing home are actually the same thing. Those two incidents are actually the same thing. The person who attacked you was because of the family you saved?"
Xiao Xingze lowered his head and said in an aggrieved voice: "My son didn't dare to think so at first, but the two things are so coincidental, so I have to think so."
The emperor frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Who are the families you saved?"
Many ministers in the court had strange expressions on their faces. After all, there were a lot of well-informed people here, and one night was enough for them to find out something.
On the contrary, the emperor who lives in the palace is not as well informed as the ministers who live outside the palace.
Xiao Xingze glanced at the emperor timidly, expressing his hesitation in speaking vividly.
But the guard who pushed him in before knelt down on one knee and spoke for the second prince: "Your Majesty, the truth is that the captain of the guard saw a few people on the way to the sanatorium last night. A man in black who was suspected to be a bodyguard kidnapped a couple from a residential building. The couple was gagged, but they were struggling desperately. The captain of the guard was afraid of something happening, so he stopped the couple. As a result... ..."
Konoe hesitantly raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then continued; "As a result, the captain of the Konoe learned the truth from the couple. The cause turned out to be that their daughter was taken away and was suspected to have been killed. And the couple My daughter is the ex-girlfriend of His Highness the Third, named Yan Su. When she was taken away, Yansu was already more than five months pregnant, and the child in her belly was His Highness’s.”
As soon as these words came out, the emperor stood up suddenly. He couldn't believe it and couldn't hide his anger: "What did you say?"
The guard lowered his head, but still insisted: "The captain of the guard didn't believe it at the time, but if Yansu is really pregnant with the child of His Highness the Third Highness, then the child is of royal blood. The captain of the guard immediately sent someone to investigate. The whereabouts of Yan Su were finally found in a villa in Lifang Water Garden, but unfortunately it was a step too late and Yan Su had already been killed."
"The captain of the guard took Yan Su's body back and settled the Yan family in His Second Highness's private villa. I wanted to go back to the nursing home and tell His Highness about this matter, but who knew that the villa caught fire in the middle of the night? , the Yan family was almost burned to death inside, and His Highness the Second Highness was also attacked here."
Although the guard did not say who the suspect was, every word in his words pointed to who the murderer was.
Xiao Junchen's face turned completely ugly. It was not that he suspected that the guard was lying, but he thought of a possibility.
How old is the third prince? Just because a girl got pregnant outside, the third prince had an illegitimate child. With his temperament, the third prince would definitely not think of a solution on his own at the first time, but run back to the palace to find his mother.
Xiao Junchen knew that her queen looked gentle and gentle in front of others, but was actually more vicious than a snake or scorpion. With her methods, for the sake of the reputation of the third prince, her first thought must be to get rid of him and her children, and then in order to eradicate Eradicating the root cause will then deal with the girl's family.
As a result, the second prince saved that family, and the queen simply refused to do anything and even wanted to deal with the second prince as well.
Xiao Junchen quickly guessed the outline of the matter in his mind, which is why his face looked so embarrassed.
But at this moment, Xiao Tingyun suddenly asked in a nonchalant manner: "Does the person who attacked you last night have any clues? The Royal Nursing Home is not something that ordinary killers can invade."
Xiao Xingze glanced at Xiao Tingyun without saying a word.
The guard immediately said: "I have no clue, but those people are well-trained. They don't look like killers. Instead, they look like...regular soldiers who have received systematic training."
Xiao Tingyun suddenly smiled, his meaning unclear: "Are you kidding? Regular army? The only regular army in the Imperial City is the Royal Legion, and the Royal Legion cannot enter the central area. The only ones that can move in the central area are the Imperial Guards. , do you mean that any regular army has sneaked into the Imperial City, or are you suspecting the Imperial Guard?"
The guard lowered his head, "I don't dare."
He didn't dare to say that, nor was he so suspicious, but Xiao Tingyun's words were heard by the emperor and entered his heart.
The emperor's face was as beautiful as a palette, but he was wondering in his heart where the queen was from?
No matter where the queen came from, it was definitely not the time to think about this now. Xiao Junchen had a sullen face and looked at his son with some hesitation.
This matter cannot be investigated at the high court meeting. Once it is investigated, it will not end well later.
Xiao Xingze seemed to have noticed the emperor's hesitation. He immediately gritted his teeth and slid out of the wheelchair, knelt on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "I beg the father to make the decision for his son. As the prince of the empire, his son was attacked in the royal sanatorium. This If the matter is not investigated strictly, will he die in his own mansion next time?!"
The two princes on the side also bent down and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly. Assassinating the prince is not a trivial matter. This is contempt of national law and contempt of royal dignity. This time they can kill the prince without any scruples. Next time they will kill the prince." How dare you plot to assassinate His Majesty."
"Not only was His Highness the Second Highness attacked, but the Yan family also needs to give them justice. What's more, the daughter of the Yan family is also of royal blood. Now one person is dead and two people are dead. Once the matter is spread, the citizens of the empire will probably start to question it. Royal ability.”
Not only did the people from the second prince's party ask the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation, but even the people from the princeling party began to come out to make fires and build rice seedlings.
"In the universe, there are still people who are so heartless. We must investigate to the end. Otherwise, how can we give an explanation to the people of the Imperial Star and how can we give an explanation to the victim's family?"
"Your Majesty, please order us to investigate this matter thoroughly. I am in charge of the Security Department. This matter should have been handed over to us for thorough investigation."
It was rare for a court meeting to see such a scene of unity. The emperor looked at his ministers with a pale face. Finally, under pressure, he could only grit his teeth and agree: "Zhang Guangbai, I will leave this matter to your security agency for thorough investigation."
Zhang Guangbai, the top administrator of the Security Agency, immediately accepted the order in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Majesty."
