Xia Wangtian soon received His Majesty's order and led troops to blockade the capital, and every household searched for the whereabouts of the prince.The whole capital was in turmoil because of this, everyone was in danger, and many people did not know what was going on.The people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division did not say anything about the prince being robbed, but only that there were fugitives who had escaped, and they were ordered to search for them.The Xie family did not find out that anyone leaked the fact that the prince went to the Moon River to put a wishing lamp, so it was the people in the palace who leaked the news of the prince.In the palace of Nuoda, there must be subordinates installed by others.Xiao Wenyu personally led people to review it, and he didn't let anyone go.The eunuchs and palace maids were all frightened and terrified, Xiao Wenyu looked at the kneeling people, and said in a deep voice: "I give you a chance to expose each other, if you reveal useful information, I will be rewarded." ”In addition to the eunuchs waiting beside him, there were also the people waiting around the crown prince and the eldest princess, as well as the people waiting in the queen's palace.When these people saw Xiao Wenyu's gloomy and cold eyebrows and eyes, and they were indescribably afraid, some of them couldn't help it and began to expose the people around them."
Your Majesty, Xiao Qiu often receives things from the eunuchs in Concubine Nie's palace.""
Midori fooled around with a eunuch, and the eunuch often gave her things.""
Xiaoyun in the pulp washing room of Chaoyang Palace often sends things to Sister Hua Lian, and once the slave maid heard Xiao Yun ask Sister Hua Lian, when will the prince return to the palace?"
As soon as the palace maid's words fell, Xiao Wenyu's eyes looked at her like sharp arrows, and she couldn't help but tremble: "Your Majesty, what the slave maid said is true, the slave maid heard it by chance." ”As soon as the palace maid's words fell, a palace maid trembled and moved out: "Your Majesty, slave maid, slave maid has done nothing." ”Xiao Wenyu looked at the palace maid named Hua Lian with cold eyes: "Say, did you tell the prince about the palace maid named Xiaoyun every day, did you say that the prince was going out of the palace to the Moon River to put a wishing lamp?"
”Hua Lian looked at the emperor's gloomy and bloodthirsty eyes, and was half frightened to death, and subconsciously didn't dare to say that she had said this.Xiao Wenyu said ruthlessly: "If you dare to hide it, I will let people cut you with a thousand knives." ”Where did Hua Lian dare to hide it, and said with a white face: "She did ask the slave maid, and the slave said casually, the slave and maid don't know anything, Your Majesty." ”Hua Lian knew that she would not escape death, and she kowtowed.Xiao Wenyu immediately ordered Zhou Youjin: "Go and arrest Xiaoyun, the palace maid in the Chaoyang Palace Pulp Washroom?"
”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhou Youjin withdrew to arrest people.Outside the hall, a eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Xie of Dali Temple Shaoqing asks to see Your Majesty." ”"Let him in."
Xiao Wenyu wanted to know what was going on on Xie Wenyao's side, and immediately ordered someone to announce Xie Wenyao in."
Your Majesty."
Xiao Wenyu motioned for him to get up, and Xie Wenyao reported the situation found in Dali Temple to Xiao Wenyu."
That child is the child of the ordinary people in the city, someone went to their house this afternoon, gave their children clothes, shoes and socks, told them to wear this tonight, let them cooperate with their actions and do things, and said that after the deed is completed, they will give them fifty taels of silver, and no family knows anything."
Xiao Wenyu pursed her lips, thinking that the prince didn't know what to do now?
He was worried.Xie Wenyao naturally knew the torment in Xiao Wenyu's heart, that was his eldest son, the crown prince.Can he feel good now?
Xie Wenyao looked at Xiao Wenyu and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, those people will definitely be of great use if they rob the prince, otherwise they won't go to such great trouble to design all this, if you want to kill the prince, when there is chaos, you can kill the prince with a sword, instead of taking the prince away." ”"They must have gone to such great lengths to take the prince away for something else, but this shows that the prince will be fine for the time being."
Xiao Wenyu listened to Xie Wenyao's words, and his heart relaxed.Zhou Youjin quickly brought someone in: "Your Majesty, the little cloud of the pulp washing room committed suicide in the room, and the slave led someone to arrest all the people in the pulp washing room." ”Xiao Wenyu and Xie Wenyao heard it as soon as they heard it, Xiao Yun was killed by someone."
The person who went to check the pulp washing room, who this Xiaoyun usually came into contact with, no matter who it was, he was arrested and interrogated, and he didn't let go of any clues.""
Yes, the minion will do it."
Xie Wenyao got up and said goodbye: "The minister has left the palace first, if there is news from Your Majesty's side, please send someone to Xie's house to say something." ”Xiao Wenyu nodded, Xie Wenyao walked outside the hall, and when he walked to the door of the hall, he stopped and looked back at Xiao Wenyu: "Your Majesty, Father and Mother, he loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much, His Royal Highness has such an accident, it is not what they want, and at this moment, they are afraid that the sadness in their hearts is no less than Your Majesty." ”Xiao Wenyu knew what Xie Wenyao meant when he heard it, he didn't want him to resent his father and mother in his heart.Xiao Wenyu smiled bitterly, does he have such a distinction between right and wrong?
He knew that he didn't blame his father and mother for this, who would have thought that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there would be a kidnapping of the prince, and he should blame himself for blaming him, and he didn't arrange it."
You go back and talk to your parents, I don't blame them."
Xie Wenyao nodded and walked out.He walked on the front foot, and the queen brought someone over on the back foot."
Your Majesty, how is it?
Have you found Jing'er's whereabouts?
”Xiao Wenyu raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows: "I haven't found it yet, I'm asking people to check." ”When Wang Mengyao heard Xiao Wenyu's words, she couldn't help crying worriedly, and while crying, she looked at Xiao Wenyu and said pleadingly: "Your Majesty, if Jing'er didn't have an accident this time, can you let him stay with his concubine in the future and don't let him go to Ningzhou again?"
”Xiao Wenyu turned around and looked at Wang Mengyao in disbelief, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke: "As the crown prince, he will encounter a lot of tribulations in this life, do you want him to stay in the palace all the time and not go out." ”Wang Mengyao cried and shook her head: "Your Majesty, the concubine can't take care of this, the concubine just doesn't want to go through such a thing anymore, do you know that the concubine can't wait to go through it on behalf of Jing'er now." ”Xiao Wenyu was sad to see her like this, but she didn't stimulate her anymore, and of course she didn't promise her not to let the prince go to Ningzhou in the future.Zhou Youjin quickly found out some useful news, the palace maid named Xiaoyun is often close to a eunuch named Hefu, the two of them turned out to be fellow villagers, and later entered the palace and made a pair of food, these two people turned out to be the people waiting in the palace of Princess Mingzhu."
Your Majesty, they were originally eunuchs and palace maids waiting in Princess Mingzhu's palace.""
Go and arrest this Hefu and bring it over for trial.""
Yes, Your Majesty."
As a result, Zhou Youjin led people to arrest Hefu, and Hefu also committed suicide in his own palace.The clue was broken here, regardless of Xiao Wenyu's suspicion of Xiao Yue, the princess of the pearl, at this time.Princess Xiao Yue has always been at odds with him, and she has been unaccustomed to him since he entered the palace, and later she hated him because he drugged her.Although they are brother and sister on the surface, in fact they both know that the other party hates themselves to the bone and wants to kill them.The reason why Xiao Wenyu assigned Xiao Yue to the second son of Jiang Cifu's family as his daughter-in-law was because the Emperor Taishang asked him to marry Princess Mingzhu, and he didn't want to see this woman in the palace, so he pointed out Xiao Yue to Jiang Cifu's second son Jiang Tao as his daughter-in-law.Xiao Yue did not object, Xiao Wenyu saw that she had a good attitude, and specially ordered the household department to build a princess mansion for her.He thought that the woman would live her life in the princess's mansion in peace, but he didn't expect that now she was involved in the robbery of the prince.Xiao Wenyu thought that his son was now in the hands of the other party, and he couldn't sit still anymore, so he immediately took people out of the palace, ordered people to surround the princess's mansion, and ordered people to search the princess's mansion.
