Qin Fengwan arrived at the palace with Xiao Lingyao. He had just said that he had no chance to enter the court in this life, but today he was taken into the Zichen Hall. Passing through the Zichen Gate is the Zichen Hall, and to the west of the hall is the Yanying Hall. That place is right

This is where Song Qingming’s father currently works.

Qin Feng entered the Zichen Palace for the first time. Perhaps he had seen such scenes on the screen too many times in later generations. He was not even a little bit excited. When he entered the palace, he found that the Queen, Concubine Yuan and others were also there. If he was with

Political affairs have nothing to do with them, how can they appear in the Zichen Palace?

The news had been suppressed these days, and Xiao Lingyao's secret guards didn't get much information. However, when she saw Xiao Lingyao standing next to a concubine who looked somewhat similar to her, she turned around and saw Qin Feng calm and composed. She just calmed down.

.

That person should be the biological mother of the fourth prince who did not appear last time, and she is somewhat similar to Xiao Lingyao's biological mother, Concubine Shu.

I saw her for the first time today, but I felt that she was not as good as Xiao Lingyao. I thought she was only a little bit similar to Xiao Lingyao's birth mother's zodiac sign. It happened that Emperor Yuan got drunk and mistakenly thought of her as an old friend. As the saying goes - drinking can cause trouble.

When Qin Feng came in, everyone's eyes turned to him, and his heart tightened.

There were no officials entering the palace at this time, but apart from Emperor Yuan and his concubines with children, there were four princes and him, as well as the left prime minister, the right prime minister, a group of people from Dali Temple, Zhao Lun, and others.

There were a group of people kneeling on the ground waiting.

Those kneeling on the ground were all guards, palace maids or people dressed as father-in-law. There was only one who was dressed luxuriously and didn't look like an ordinary palace maid.

It’s just that I don’t know what kind of blow the woman suffered, she looks downcast and her eyes are cloudy.

Qin Feng was shocked when he saw Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were present. He was shocked. Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all present. This was to prepare for the trial of the three divisions, but this

It was too hasty!

"My son, I pay homage to my father and the empress. I have met all the mothers and concubines, the emperor and my lords." Qin Feng was also a neat person. He greeted everyone as soon as he entered the palace. Emperor Yuan signaled, and he immediately stood up and stood next to Xiao Lingyao.

.

The two people's eyes met, and they were both a little confused. It seemed that even Xiao Lingyao didn't understand what was going on.

Over the past few days, Dali Temple and the palace have been watertight. Although there have been some moves secretly, they have not been made public.

When going to court, all the officials seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and did not mention anything about the assassination of the prince. The atmosphere in the court was extremely weird. Since the last time Tang Xiang met in the street, Qin Feng choked him. Today, this time

The two just met again.

It stands to reason that they are also Qin Feng's grandparents, but the old and the young don't like each other. When Tang Xiang saw Qin Feng, he unconsciously made a muffled sound in his throat. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he wanted to skin Qin Feng.

.

Song Luo, on the other hand, felt inexplicably at ease. After all, they were ministers walking barefoot, so what were they afraid of?

This man was temporarily summoned to the palace. Although the battle was quite large, he knew nothing about it. Now he has to thank himself for not being well-informed.

Zuo Pingdao looked like a human after putting on his official uniform. When he saw him coming in, his eyes were not very friendly. However, Qin Feng knew that personal grudges should be put aside for the time being. Today, he was mainly here because of the assassination of the prince.

"Everyone is here?" As soon as Emperor Yuan said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn. Even if everyone was not here, no one dared to respond.

It was Eunuch Hong who said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess will be later."

Emperor Yuan did not say anything. Empress Chen stood at the lower step of Emperor Yuan with her hands slightly clasped together. Concubine Na Yuan glanced at her and said: "The prince is injured, so it is reasonable to go slower. The princess has been working hard these days, and it is also hard."

.”

The queen remained silent. At this time, the prince Xiao Lingzhao entered the palace with the support of the prince concubine Cheng Cen. Because he was injured, Emperor Yuan did not allow him to salute. He also gave him a special seat, which was covered with soft fox fur.

Qin Feng thought that it was because he was sick and his treatment was different from that of a healthy person. The princess stood beside the prince. One was weak and the other looked like a lady. The two of them always felt like they didn't match each other. Well,

The prince is not worthy of the princess.

Perhaps sensing Qin Feng's gaze, the Crown Princess raised her head slightly, but she did not dare to look at Qin Feng.

The situation today is so weird. They actually summoned the harem ladies and their families to the Zichen Palace. Almost everyone had a tacit understanding - this is a big deal.

Eunuch Yuan watched the prince take his seat, then turned around and waved his fly whisk: "Your Majesty, everyone is here."

Emperor Yuan then looked at Zuo Ping and said, "Zuo Aiqing, let's get started."

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat. Zuo Pingdao was in charge. It was time to find the real culprit of the prince's assassination. With such a huge formation, coupled with Emperor Yuan's gloomy expression, he didn't know how long this would take.

He regretted giving the melon seeds he had just peeled to Song Qingming. If it had entered his stomach, it would have lasted longer.

Zuo Pingdao bowed and stepped forward with a clear voice: "Your Majesty, the prince was assassinated in the East Palace four days ago. This case involves the royal family. Dali Temple has been investigating for days. Now we will present the witnesses, physical evidence and confessions."

Emperor Yuan waved his hand and continued: "Let's start with the assassin himself. The assassin committed suicide, but the autopsy showed that the assassin took the chronic poison in advance and died three days later. He did not take the poison on the spot."

"This man's stomach was empty, which showed that he had not eaten in three days. In addition, the palace servants said that the East Palace was suspected of being robbed one day, but the thief was not found at that time. Therefore, I and others suspected that the assassin did not enter the palace on the night of the assassination, but

He has been lurking in the East Palace for a long time."

"In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, this person has not eaten or walked outside for three days. He is calculating the time when the poison will be released. He should be a dead man. Regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, he will die."

"On the night when the prince was assassinated, there were footprints on the wall of the West Palace Gate, and a guard guarding the wall gate was killed and his waistband was taken away. However, the guard's waistband had a limited range and was not enough to enter the East Palace. I thought this was the reason.

It’s a cover-up, to confuse the audience.”

Qin Feng had to admit that although Zuo Pingdao was not a very good person, he still had nothing to say about his insight and his professional standards were first-rate.

The queen felt a heavy stone stuck in her chest. She felt uncomfortable for no reason, but she did not speak after seeing Emperor Yuan's face.

Zuo Pingdao was satisfied with the cold and silent atmosphere at the moment, and continued: "After investigation, I found the owner of the shoe prints. There were witnesses who saw this person climbing the city wall and acting strangely, but there was nothing unusual at the time.

, didn’t pay attention.”

"Afterwards, the prince's assassination was reported, so he took the initiative to go to the peak to report it. Unfortunately, the person who left the shoe prints committed suicide." Zuo Pingdao only lamented: "His identity outside the palace was faked, and there is no way to find out.

.”

Qin Feng felt shocked in his heart. Even a soldier who left footprints to create suspicion had made a false identity in advance and let him sneak into the palace. How could this be the work of an ordinary person?

The more he listened, the weirder he felt. Xiao Lingyao next to him glanced at her. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if telling him that the matter had nothing to do with her. Qin Feng put his hands behind his back, looked at her calmly, and told her -
Chapter completed!
