The news that the sixth prince was assassinated once again shocked the entire capital, this time in the palace.
In Luo Fei's palace, the sixth prince was actually assassinated, but the servants around him blocked everyone's hands. Fortunately, the daughter of Zuo Xiang who entered the palace at that time saved the sixth prince, otherwise the sixth prince would really be dead. Life.
However, even so, the sixth prince also hurt his eyes.
In the panic, I injured my eye. Now I can barely see. The imperial doctors are treating me. It's hard to say what will happen next.
Two consecutive assassinations, from outside the palace to inside the palace, are they bound to kill the sixth prince? The emperor was furious and scolded several officials who were in charge of criminal matters. He smashed the papers on the floor of the royal study.
The prince was seriously ill. At this time, the sixth prince was assassinated one after another. Although the assassin's chamberlain died, the entire harem was turned upside down. Anyone who had contact with the chamberlain was locked up for questioning.
Luo Fei's palace was searched again and again, and his accomplices were bound to be found.
There was a turmoil in the harem, and there was a quarrel in the previous dynasty. The ministers almost fought in the court. You said yours, and I said mine. Everyone had their own opinions. The emperor was sitting in the high hall, looking at the quarrel below with a heavy look. The regiment's ministers suddenly picked up a few booklets and threw them down hard.
Suddenly everyone fell silent, and the hall was silent.
Jiang Xuncheng stood in front of the steps, motionless. When the courtiers were making a fuss just now, he didn't move at all and only frowned tightly.
This matter concerns the Sixth Prince, so it is a big deal.
Now is the time when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill. People say that the Crown Prince is seriously ill and will die soon. At this time, the sixth prince was the first to have an accident. It was beyond everyone's expectations, but they felt that there seemed to be some traces.
The sixth prince liked the prince very much. The prince was in poor health, so he was the best to the sixth prince who was also in poor health. Some people said that the prince raised this younger brother as a son.
The two brothers are quite different in age. The prince liked this sixth brother when he was young. From time to time, he brought the sixth brother to the East Palace to raise him for a period of time. Their relationship was a bit closer than that of ordinary brothers. In the past, the sixth prince often went in and out of the East Palace when he was out of the palace. At such a critical moment, something happened to the Sixth Prince and even caused him to go blind, which made people feel a little strange.
Storm is coming...
The ministers were reprimanded, and several ministers had several books smashed. Seeing the right minister standing motionless, Jiang Xuncheng's body was as if he had grown up on the steps, without wavering at all, and he was respectful with the courtiers. He listened to the emperor's rebuke.
The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were scolded by the emperor again, and they were ordered to seize the time to solve the case...
The emperor left the court in a hurry. Jiang Xuncheng was not in a hurry to leave. He only stepped forward after watching other ministers leave in twos and threes.
"Brother-in-law, wait a moment." Suddenly a voice came from beside him.
Jiang Xuncheng turned around and saw the smiling face of Marquis Anxin. His eyes were unhappy, but his face didn't show it: "Is there something wrong, Marquis Anxin?"
Today is the court meeting, and Marquis Anxin also went to court.
"Brother-in-law, I heard that something big happened that day. My brother-in-law brought many people to check it out?" An Xinhou said with a smile, as if he didn't know that his old lady had offended someone, and even trotted two steps to Jiang Xuncheng. , "Tell me, what happened next? Are there any clues?"
The emperor had just asked about Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment in the main hall. He did not ask Jiang Xuncheng in the court hall. Jiang Xuncheng had already reported the previous matters directly.
"Not yet." Jiang Xuncheng said vaguely and walked out, not wanting to say anything more to Marquis An Xin.
"Not at all? No wonder the emperor is angry. In the past few days, nothing has been found." An Xinhou clicked his tongue twice, and the last sentence was very low. He looked around and saw that there was another person behind him, so he hurriedly accompanied him. Smile and nod.
When he turned around, Jiang Xuncheng was already a few steps away. He hurriedly jogged a few more steps, hugged Jiang Xuncheng tightly, and asked with concern, "Is everything okay at your house?"
"fine!"
"Is the second sister frightened? I'm afraid Jin'er was also very frightened. It's really... scary for something like this to happen at a good banquet. It's just outside your house, separated by a wall. Brother-in-law, what do you think? Did someone know about the banquet at your house and did it on purpose?" An Xinhou asked.
Jiang Xuncheng glanced sideways at An Xinhou, knowing that he couldn't get rid of him now, so he simply slowed down.
"Marquis Anxin, be careful what you say." He warned coldly.
"Brother-in-law, we can't say more about this kind of thing?" An Xinhou glared.
"Of course I can't say more. The matter is still under investigation. I don't know what will happen in the end. At this time, please ask An Xinhou Moduo. Moduo will say." Jiang Xuncheng said.
"Okay... okay!" An Xinhou was startled by his cautious attitude. He looked around and found no one noticed him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, his voice became lower and lower, and he came closer to Jiang Xuncheng, " Brother-in-law, are my sister and Jin'er really not scared? Are Linhan scared?"
Mentioning his son, Jiang Xuncheng's expression softened slightly, and he looked at An Xinhou's lumpy face again: "It's okay."
"How could it be okay!" An Xinhou stamped his foot, "Jin'er also saved the sixth prince!"
At this point, he finally spoke out: "For such a big thing, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily."
Jiang Xuncheng's face turned slightly solemn. He didn't pay attention to this before.
"Brother-in-law, this matter is important to Jin'er..." An Xinhou was still talking.
"Marquis Anxin, be careful what you say." Jiang Xuncheng had to remind him again.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I will go back to my house later and tell my mother that after I went back that day, she fined several servants in the house, especially a few stewards, and gave them a nice gift. Not only did she not get any Well, even if Ermei and Jin'er don't like it, it's because a few people in charge have tampered with it."
"A good set of jewelry was secretly changed by a servant, which made Jin'er and the second sister embarrassed. My mother had to take over the matter at the banquet. After returning home, she became very angry. She will lie in bed now. On the bed, I insisted on dealing with the person and even replaced all the good jewelry and materials. These servants are really brave."
An Xinhou said angrily.
This is an explanation of what happened at the previous banquet. Although this matter was suppressed due to the redress by the Prime Minister, some aristocratic families still knew what happened at the banquet.
The eldest daughter of Zuo Xiangfu burst into tears in public. The reason was partly because she was greedy for her younger sister's new clothes, and partly because the clothes Anxin Houfu sent to the Prime Minister were not good ones and they didn't have the materials for the clothes. There are many women who touch and see bad jewelry.
There were faint rumors that the Anxinhou Mansion was extremely mean and even sent cheap jewelry and clothes to Zuo Xiang's Mansion.
This is not only a slap in the face of Zuo Xiangfu, but also a slap in their own face.
If you pass it off as good, everything sent out by the Anhou Mansion in the future will have to be carefully investigated, or the incident with the Zuo Xiang Mansion can serve as a lesson for the future.
Speaking of this, Jiang Xuncheng couldn't stand it any longer. He sneered, flicked his sleeves, and strode forward.
"Hey, brother-in-law, why are you leaving? Wait a minute, wait a minute." An Xinhou's chubby body was chasing after him, not caring what others thought. This was something his mother asked him to do, and he had to do it well no matter what!
No matter what others think, Jiang Xuncheng is his brother-in-law, and then his mother can take action...
