Tang Fan was silent for a long time and asked, "You want to avenge Concubine Ji, why do you want to murder Han Zao?"

Yuan Liang sighed, "I am now by the prince's side. No matter what I do, I will always be involved in the prince's side, so I can't do anything. Even if I hate Concubine Wan to the core, I have to endure it. But suddenly one day, Furu, the grand palace maid of Concubine Wan, came to me and asked me if I still wanted to avenge Concubine Ji. When I said yes, she said she could persuade Concubine Wan to send soup to the prince. How to do something at that time depends on me."

"Wait!" Tang Fan interrupted him, "Why did Furu betray Concubine Wan? Also, if she was also dissatisfied with Concubine Wan, why didn't she poison herself? With the conditions of serving Concubine Wan, it should be easy."

Yuanliang shook his head: "I don't know, Furu is a very strange person. Before His Highness was born, she was the one who came to give birth to Sister Ji by the order of the imperial concubine. At that time, she should have someone beat Sister Ji with a stick and beat Sister Ji to death. Your Highness would not be able to survive, but she just gave Sister Ji medicine at that time. The medicine was only half a bowl, so Your Highness could survive by chance. Speaking of which, Furu was also kind to Your Highness, so I believed her words. The imperial concubine often beat and scolded the palace maid. Although Furu was a great palace maid, she was hard to escape, but she only had a fewer times. Maybe she had resentment in her heart, but she didn't dare to take action on her own. She needed to use such a roundabout way."

Tang Fan nodded: "You keep talking."

Yuanliang said: "At that time, I thought this was a good opportunity, but the prince should not have any trouble. The person who died was best to die was the one around him, and he must have a certain status, otherwise it would not be enough to attract the attention of His Majesty. In this way, the candidates were the prince's master and Han Zao."

"There are many masters who teach the prince, headed by the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, including the Zhanshishi, the Shao Zhanshi, etc. They take turns to give lectures to His Highness every day. His Highness often gives them food to show respect, but these foods are prepared by the kitchen and sent over, and have nothing to do with Concubine Wan. If you want to choose a certain day, you can only stay with the prince every day. Because His Highness has a good relationship with Han Zao, the two of them will often share food. Empress Dowager Zhou often prepares two servings. So I finally chose Han Zao."

"But poisoning is too simple and easy to be found. It doesn't matter if I die, it's not good to implicate Your Highness. It's just that when I send Han Zao to the palace, I often hear him mention things that his mother is not good to her adoptive brother. Han Zao is kind-hearted and respects her brother very much. He thinks that his mother is not good at doing this and is powerless to dissuade him. He is very distressed. When I get familiar with him, he will tell me."

"After listening too much, I knew that unless Han Hui was a saint, it would be impossible for him to be resentful to his adoptive mother. So I came to Han Hui and told him that if Han Zao died and the second wife was cut off, he would be the only heir, and he could also make his adoptive mother heartbroken, so that his revenge would be avenged. Han Hui was frightened at the beginning and didn't send Han Zao over for a few days, so I was not worried because he did not directly refute me at that time. This shows that he actually had this idea deep down. If he took a step back, even if he didn't want to, I naturally had another way."

"After a while, Han Hui came to me and agreed to my previous proposal. You will know what happened later."

After saying this long passage, his face became more and more ugly. The sound of breathing from his throat was like a broken bellows being pulled hard, which was very unpleasant.

Tang Fan couldn't help but say angrily: "Can you kill a completely innocent person in order to avenge Concubine Ji? Han Zao has nothing to do with the matter back then. What's the use of killing him? Isn't this a pain for the relatives, and how about the enemy?"

Yuan Liang laughed and cried and said in tears: "I know Han Zao is innocent, but there is no way to be forced! I was originally a disabled person who was living a life of silence. I was killed twice when I was trying on Sister Ji. I was lucky enough to die, but my health was also ruined. The imperial physician said that even if I was careful to regulate it, it was the past few years. If I could not see Wan's unlucky before I died, I would have the face to meet Sister Ji! But I can't kill Concubine Wan himself, so I can only choose such a roundabout way! Once Han Zao dies, Concubine Wan will definitely be suspected. Everyone will think that she is going to kill the crown prince. Concubine Wan is a serious crime. Concubine Wan will definitely be deposed! Wan has countless enemies in the palace. As long as she loses the position of Concubine and the favor of His Majesty, there will be many people who want her to die, and then there will be no need for me to take action!"

Wang Zhi didn't say anything, and at this moment he couldn't help but say coldly: "It was indeed a serious crime to murder the crown prince. If you were to use your plan, whether it was the Emperor Taizu or even in the late emperor's dynasty, Concubine Wan might have been deposed as you said, but your mistake was to underestimate the weight of the imperial concubine in His Majesty's mind! For the sake of the imperial concubine, he could even depose the queen, and even the queen did not dare to say anything, for fear that the crown prince's weight in his mind was not as heavy as you imagined."

"But it's not that light?" Yuan Liang had a deep sense of fatigue on his face: "I heard that His Majesty had a big fight with Concubine Wan after Han Zao's death, right?"

Wang Zhi stopped talking.

Yuanliang smiled: "If you don't speak, that's true. In fact, many things are betting. Back then, we helped conceal the existence of the prince. It was originally a gamble. Later, the identity of the prince was exposed. We don't know how His Majesty would deal with him. We are also gambling. Now I'm just using my life to bet. If I can really pull Wan off the horse, then the prince's future will be smooth and I will no longer have to worry about being assassinated. It's a pity that I bet wrong."

"Forget it, as long as you don't involve the prince, I will die if I die. Han Zao is innocent. If I die, I will be considered to be a life-threatening person. Your Highness is a good person and a wise ruler. Unfortunately, I can't see that day."

Wang Zhi sneered: "Aren't you afraid that I will shake out all the things you did in front of the imperial concubine!"

Yuanliang shook his head: "I know you don't know, otherwise you wouldn't have come over to ask me in advance. Thank you, Neijian Wang, I always looked down on you because you were the one around the imperial concubine. Now it seems that you still have great righteousness in your heart."

Wang Zhi spat: "You killed Han Zaoduo, why are you here to tell me the righteousness! Besides, I'm not for you, but for Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yuanliang's expression was dim: "Yes, so I'll pay him my life now. I can't repay your protection to Your Highness."

Seeing his voice getting lower and lower, blood was overflowing from the corner of his mouth, Tang Fan couldn't help but take a few steps forward and grabbed him and asked, "Where is Furu, do you know what Furu is from? Did she really want to trip her up just because she was dissatisfied with Concubine Wan?"

Yuanliang shook his head, his expression became more and more confused, his eyes gradually lost their focus, his expression was twisted and hideous due to the pain, and finally he lost his breath in the moan.

Tang Fan let go of him and placed Yuan Liang on the bed.

This person is very hateful. In order to avenge Concubine Ji, he blamed Concubine Wan and dragged the innocent Han Zao into the water. In the end, it proved that all his efforts were in vain. Concubine Wan was destined to escape, and Han Zao died unjustly.

But this man was very pitiful. Everything he did was not for himself or for the pursuit of fame and fortune, but for the grace of Concubine Ji back then. How many people have received favors from others in their lives, but how many people still remember the favors of others? Yuanliang not only remembers them, but also firmly engraved them in his heart, and he will not hesitate to save his life for this.

Wang Zhi said: "Yuanliang died of illness suddenly and he didn't even have time to invite an imperial physician, which is a pity."

Tang Fan's heart moved and he immediately understood what he meant: "Where is Furu?"

Wang faced the face with no expression: "She was resentful because she was scolded by the imperial concubine, so she encouraged the imperial concubine to send soup to the prince and used Han Zao's death to blame the imperial concubine."

This is equivalent to directly eliminating the role of Monroe.

Tang Fan shook his head: "No, there are so many flaws. Don't forget that there is Han Hui's side. How can Furu be connected with Han Hui in the imperial concubine's palace? Yuan Liang's role will inevitably be indispensable in the middle."

Wang Zhi thought for a while and said, "That's it! It's said that Furu was scolded by the imperial concubine on weekdays and held a grudge, but did not dare to take revenge. Yuanliang was Furu's food. After hearing Furu's complaint, Han Hui happened to have the intention of killing his brother, so he came up with such an idea, asking Furu to persuade the imperial concubine to give him soup, and then asked Han Hui to attack Han Zao in advance. The three of them conspired to stage such a play to blame the imperial concubine."

He took great pains to remove the prince's suspicion.

Tang Fan was silent for a moment and said, "Will Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine believe you if you say this?"

Wang Zhi asked back: "Why don't you believe it? Now that Yuan Liang dies, there is no evidence of death. Furu and Han Hui are connected with each other. No matter how they deny it, they will not cause any storm. I might as well tell you honestly. Your Majesty will never want any major prison to arouse this matter. In his heart, the prince is older and he is the son he has finally obtained. Even if he is not as important as the imperial concubine, he will have a place. He will not hope that this matter will be implicated in the crown prince. The key now is the imperial concubine. As long as there is no evidence, even if the imperial concubine has any grudges against the prince, he cannot use this as an excuse."

He paused and regretted, "If I had asked me to catch Xiao Zhou directly, how could so many endless troubles come? Tang Fan, I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense and had to make a good relationship with the prince. But now I'm fine, but I can't get off the boat, so I can only walk on the dark side. I was originally from the imperial concubine, but now I want to help you deceive the imperial concubine. If the imperial concubine knows, the fate will definitely not be as good as Yuan Liang!"

Tang Fan was also upset by Yuan Liang's incident. He could only comfort her with a slight consolation after hearing this, "It may not be possible. In this incident, I always feel that Furu's purpose is not that simple. A person who is resentful to the imperial concubine, knowing that he is dead, just brings a dagger to assassinate her in close proximity. Why go around a big circle to frame her? If you can dig something out from Furu, you might be able to get rid of the suspicion of the prince."

Wang Zhi snorted coldly: "You think too simple. Just because Yuanliang is the prince's person, this is enough. No matter what other motives are, the imperial concubine's doubts about the prince cannot be erased. It takes a reason to like someone, and does it require a reason to hate someone?"

Tang Fan really couldn't quite understand Concubine Wan's fear of the prince's persistence. On this point, Wang Zhi obviously understood better than him.

The two of them didn't say a few words. Not long after Yuanliang's death, Wang Zhi left the East Palace and went to the West Factory to interrogate Furu.

Tang Fanze silently looked at Yuanliang's body for a while, then walked out and said goodbye to the prince.

Today, the prince didn't have to study. He sat alone in the inner hall in a daze. When he saw Tang Fan coming in, he shut up his servants and immediately asked, "Tang Pui Guan, Yuan Eunuch..."

Tang Fan bowed: "The Yuan eunuch was seriously ill and died just now." He agreed with Wang Zhi's plan just now.

The prince's eyes suddenly turned red.

Tang Fan said: "Your Highness mourns you."

He looked calm on his face, and his heart was also messy.

According to Tang Fan's principle of doing things, everything should be handled impartially. How did Yuan Liang die and what happened from beginning to end? It should be reported in a complete and complete manner and handled by the national law. In this way, how could Han Zao, who died innocently and innocently, rest in peace?

But he also knew that if Concubine Wan knew that Yuanliang wanted to avenge Concubine Ji, he would definitely think that the prince was surrounded by such people, and therefore he would think that the prince had always had resentment towards her because of the death of his biological mother.

Who would be so kind to keep someone who hates him all day long, let alone Concubine Wan? It would be great if Concubine Wan did not instigate the emperor to depose the crown prince.

Therefore, the so-called principle of "handling impartially" in Tang Fan's mind was equivalent to giving Concubine Wan an excuse to cleanse her harem.

Pursuing fairness in something will kill more lives.

In this case, how to choose?

It was precisely because he knew this that he was very conflicted.

In such a world, it is so difficult to be an honest and selfless official who enforces the law impartially.

I could only hear the prince say, "I know that everything the Yuan Eunuch did is for my mother."

Tang Fan asked: "How much does Your Highness know?"

The prince said, "I know Xiaozao died unjustly, and I also know that this case has nothing to do with Concubine Wan. The eunuch Yuan refused to tell me, but I guessed it. He thought I had forgotten my mother's death, but I didn't. I knew that her death had something to do with Concubine Wan, and I just didn't want to take revenge."

He sniffed and choked and said, "I know that someone will die if he takes revenge. I don't want someone to die. Is it okay for everyone to do this? Why do you have to take revenge? My mother is in heaven, and she definitely hopes that the eunuch Yuan will live well and will not want him to kill Xiaozao for himself!"

Tang Fan sighed: "From the beginning of his birth, His Highness has been destined to be extraordinary in the future. Everyone has great expectations for you and everyone hopes that you can become a wise ruler in the future, so they hope to use their lives to help you pave the way forward first, so that when you go in the future, it will not be too difficult."

The prince said with tears in his eyes: "That shouldn't be exchanged for human life, right?"

Tang Fan was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."

Things in the world are never complicated, but the complexity is just the human heart.

Tang Fan said: "But since the Yuan Eunuch has used death to exchange for His Highness's reluctance to be implicated, please do not let down his wishes. This matter ends here. No matter who asks, it will be said that the Yuan Eunuch died of an emergency."

After coming out of the Eastern Palace, Tang Fan felt as if he was rushing back and forth between the inside and outside the palace that day, both physically and mentally exhausted.

Yuanliang's body is easy to deal with, and the East Palace has always been strict and loyal. Only the cause of Yuanliang's death, Tang Fan and Wang Zhi, knew that as long as the prince himself did not let him go, he would report an emergency disease to the outside world and send it out of the palace for burial.
