Listening to Zhao Ling's 'truth of the facts', although it sounds reasonable at first glance, and it is also linked to the real cause of Zhou Guifei's death, but after careful scrutiny, it can be found that there are still many loopholes in it.

Luo Cheng is an upright person, and he immediately pointed out his suspicions in front of Zhao Ling, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Wei Chen thinks that the real murderer in this case may not be the palace maid. ”

Zhao Ling's expression didn't move, but he subconsciously raised the corners of his eyebrows and looked at Luo Cheng, whose face was pale and weak, "Oh? What is Lord Luo's opinion? ”

Luo Cheng didn't notice Zhao Ling's abnormality, his upright personality made him always straightforward in everything he did and spoke, even in front of a high-ranking and powerful person, he would not observe what he said.

Weichen believes that the real culprit in this case may be someone else. The simplest analogy, if the real murderer is really the palace maid, then the palace maid's ability is inevitably too great, she can know the progress of our investigation of the case outside the palace, can kill the work we found to help, and can hurt Weichen even more; Your Highness, think about it, if she was just an ordinary palace maid, would she have such a great ability? ”

Looking at Shang Luo Cheng's frank and direct eyes, Zhao Ling felt a headache while being relieved.

In the court of the Son of Heaven, of course, there is a need for people like Li Ze who are well versed in officialdom, and there is also a need for people like Luo Cheng, but when dealing with the kind of people in front, the monarch is more relaxed, but he also needs to be guarded, and dealing with people like the back, although he is not guarded, he is very tired.

Zhao Ling's eyes were bright and he looked at Luo Cheng, who was upright like a big boy, and boiled: "Lord Luo, you and I both know that Chu Shizi was wronged in this whole case, and since he was wronged, then he should be Zhaoxue; But sometimes, the truth doesn't matter, it's the result that matters. As long as we tell everyone that the death of Concubine Zhou has nothing to do with Chu Shizi of the Marquis Mansion in Jingbei, everyone will believe in Chu He's innocence, as for who killed that woman, how many people will care? ”

"You have also seen that my father has become disgusted with that woman, so disgusted that he will not even let her enter the imperial tomb, in such a situation, do you really think the truth can make her blind after death? There is nothing we can do about the dead, but we have to help the living as much as we can. Chu He is the young marshal of the 400,000 Black Armor Army in Qingzhou, and he is also the next Marquis of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, such a person should not tarnish his reputation because of a woman who is not loved by the Son of Heaven; What we have been doing all this is to help Chu Shizi restore his reputation, and now that we have a 'result', let's use this 'result' to face the world." ”

Luo Cheng is not stupid, of course, he understands the meaning of Zhao Ling's words clearly.

It's just that he still has an upright temperament and is still a little difficult to accept for a while, and looks at Zhao Ling with clear eyes: "What about the palace maid?" Just let her die in vain? ”

"Don't worry, she won't sacrifice in vain, His Royal Highness will send someone to comfort her family, and will give her relatives good care, and these care can't be given when she is alive."

Looking at the prince with a faint smile on his face, Luo Cheng slowly lowered his head; In fact, he should have been numb to this kind of thing a long time ago, shouldn't he?

When he was on an errand, he would often encounter this kind of case of sacrificing innocent people to let go of the real murderer, but what he didn't expect was that the prince would do such a thing today; In fact, he also wanted to ask, the palace maid is willing to be a scapegoat, what about her relatives? Are you willing to continue to live a rich life in exchange for your daughter's life?

After all, Luo Cheng still held back and didn't ask.

He did not live in vain after living such a long age; It is clear that some questions are not good if they are asked.

In fact, the prince was able to sit in front of him and explain so much to him, he should be satisfied, after all, not any person in power is willing to patiently explain so many words to him.

However, Luo Cheng had already gained insight through the prince's actions that he might already know who the real murderer of Zhou Guifei was.

can make him so bothered to arrange these, and even do not hesitate to find a scapegoat, then this person must be a person with a special status, so the prince has to arrange for others to sacrifice in order to give an explanation to the people of the world.

So who will this person be? Could it be ......?

Luo Cheng's eyes subconsciously widened, and he already had a name in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, because he knew that if he said it, the peace of Luofu would probably be shattered.

Thinking of his daughter who was about to marry King Xi, Luo Cheng fell silent and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arranged everything, then Weichen also knows what to do; In addition to visiting Wechen's injuries today, His Highness still wants to tell Wechen not to stand up and talk nonsense. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Cheng smiled reluctantly and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, Weichen knows the measure, and Weichen who shouldn't say anything will definitely not mention a word." ”

Zhao Ling believes in Luo Cheng's personality and credit, so as long as he personally promises not to talk too much, he will believe that he will definitely do it.

Looking at Luo Cheng's weak and pale face, Zhao Ling didn't want to disturb him anymore, and after saying a few words with concern, he got up and said goodbye.

Watching the tall figure slowly walk out of the room, Luo Cheng felt as if the strength of his whole body had been taken away, and the whole person fell back heavily, lying down on the bed tiredly.

Hearing the sound coming from the room, the subordinate who was waiting outside hurriedly trotted in to check, and found that his master was looking at the top of the tent with wide eyes, and was so frightened that he thought that the master's injury had recurred, and almost shouted.

At the critical moment, Luo Cheng opened his mouth to stop the panicked subordinates, drove out all the people who were waiting around him, and stayed quietly in the room by himself, quiet and silent.

For such a result, in fact, he should be satisfied; After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to protect too many people, and the murder of Concubine Zhou Guifei involves too many people, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can thoughtfully arrange such a result, and he also bothered.

It's just that there are inevitably regrets in my heart, after all, the real truth is not so simple.

……

Besides, Zhao Xi and Luo Qing, after coming out of the Zhenguo Mansion, Luo Qing looked at Zhao Xi, whose face was faintly pale, and couldn't help worrying, and said, "Lord Wang, you are injured, let's let the imperial doctor come and show you, Qing'er will send you back to the house first, okay?" ”

Listening to Luo Qing's gentle and caring words, even if Zhao Xi was suffering from pain in his body, his heart was sweet.

touched the stupid girl's head, smiled slightly, and said: "Although I suffered a loss in front of the third brother, this king is also good at fists and feet, don't worry, you don't need to see a doctor for this injury, you can rest for two days." ”

"How can it be done, if you are injured, you are injured, Qing'er is here to ask the prince, don't be reckless."

Luo Qing knew that Zhao Xi's reluctance to see the imperial doctor was also worried that someone would spread rumors that were not like words; If it is known that he was kicked and injured by the prince, there may be something spread outside; However, she didn't want to care about this, she only knew that he was her man, and it was what she should do to care about his body and take care of his body, and as for what trouble it would bring to others, that was something she couldn't take into account.

"Lord, you and I are about to get married, Qing'er believes that with your wisdom and martial arts, you will definitely pick up Qing'er heroically when we get married, but Qing'er is more willing to let her newlywed husband be healthy and safe; Lord Wang, even if it is to make Qing'er feel at ease, Imperial Doctor Xuan will come and take a look, okay? ”

Zhao Xi's weakest leg in his life is in the face of Luo Qing's coquettishness, the beloved little girl coquettishly pulled his hand and shook it again and again, asking him to agree to her request, even if he is really hard-hearted, he can't refuse; What's more, the little girl said this all for him.

In the face of her sincere concern, how could he completely refuse?

Zhao Xi looked at Luo Qing helplessly: "Okay, well, I listen to you; It's just that this king is not going to Xuan Taiyi, so let's just take a look at Luofu. ”

With that, Zhao Xi took Luo Qing's hand and walked to the carriage.

Luo Qing looked at Zhao Xi puzzled, "Lord Wang, the imperial doctor in charge of my father's body in Luofu has returned to the hospital after my father woke up, and you won't be able to see anyone at this time." ”

"There is no imperial doctor, and the famous doctor in the capital that this king found for you is in the house, isn't it?!"

Zhao Xi smiled at Luo Qing with the same gentleness, "It just so happens that many people now know that your father is recuperating in the mansion, and this king uses your father as a cover to let the doctor in Luo Mansion show this king; Whether it's sticking plasters or drinking medicinal soup, this king will obediently cooperate, so are you satisfied? ”

It turned out that Zhao Xi was planning to do this, and Luo Qing suddenly laughed; As far as she is concerned, as long as he is willing to watch the doctor obediently, she can ignore the rest.

Luo Qing helped Zhao Xi to get into the carriage, and after walking for about two sticks of incense, he came to the gate of Luofu.

Coincidentally, at this time, Zhao Ling was walking out of Luofu, and the three of them happened to collide.

When Zhao Xi saw the third brother, he quickly let go of Luo Qing's hand and walked up nervously, with a look of shame and a trace of imperceptible grievances in his eyes, and a nervous tone in his tone, he looked at the third brother and said, "Third brother, you didn't have trouble with your father, did you?" ”

You must know that the moment he saw the third brother walking out with a long sword, his heart hung in the air; I was afraid that the third brother would anger his father at this time, and at that time, he would really have no shame to face his brother again.

Zhao Ling is still angry with Zhao Xi, he has loved him very much as a younger brother since he was a child, but as long as Zhao Xi speaks to him, even if he wrongs himself, he will be satisfied with him.

It's just that what he never dreamed of was that his younger brother, who had been spoiled for so many years and had been rare for so many years, would one day betray himself, and he also stuck a knife in his heart, how could he easily forgive?

Therefore, in the face of Zhao Xi's concern, Zhao Ling almost didn't want to look at it more, and walked towards the carriage of King Ling's Mansion that was parked not far away with a cold face.

Seeing that the third brother didn't even want to pay attention to himself, Zhao Xi almost cried, just like when he was a child, like a child who was cheating, he caught up and grabbed Zhao Xi's sleeve tightly, and didn't let go: "Third brother, I really know it's wrong, I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but please don't turn a blind eye to me, okay?" You say, you say how you can forgive me, either you hit me, scold me, or simply stab me with a knife. As long as you don't ignore me, you can do whatever you want me to do. ”
