Chapter 61 Born to be a Chess Piece

The person who submitted the post was Wei Zhiji.

That man was Wei Zhiji, who was tall and majestic and had a righteous face.

Tang Junning thought about it and felt that this man was upright and a man who could be built.

She changed into luxurious clothes and went to the front hall. The housekeeper did not leave, but was waiting for the two of them.

Tang Junning looked up and saw the man in the hall, and almost didn't recognize him.

I just met him some time ago, and now he has changed from a handsome and handsome appearance to a haggard face, and his eyes are black and blue.

She was doubtful in her heart, but she didn't ask it in front of him.

"Princess, I have come here today to do two things." Wei Zhiji always went straight to her and did not make any excuses with her.

"Wei Zhiji, please tell me."

"The first thing is that I heard that the princess was injured, so I came to visit her and wish her a speedy recovery."

"Thank you." Tang Junning nodded slightly, with a calm attitude.

What I want to talk about next should be the business of Wei Zhiji coming over this time.

"The second thing is, I would like to ask the princess to help with the autopsy." He looked solemn.

"How do you say this?" Tang Junning became interested, sat on it, and asked Xi'er to serve tea to Wei Zhiji.

Wei Zhiji sighed and then recounted what happened.

He was ordered to investigate the murder of the Ninth Princess, but the maid who was originally taking care of the Ninth Princess died suddenly.

It's not man-made, it's a disease.

The symptoms are generally the same as those when the Ninth Princess passed away.

"I'm not sure if this is a kind of plague." He never thought that he would encounter something like this again. If it was really a plague, then I'm afraid a large number of people in the palace would suffer.

As for the imperial doctors who were responsible for the Ninth Princess's physical condition, I am afraid they will also be beheaded by the queen.

The matter was serious, and it was urgent for her to go there.

Tang Junning also understood the seriousness of the matter: "Where are those people in the hospital? Can't they even find out this little thing?"

Wei Zhiji shook his head, with an ugly expression on his face: "It's not that we can't find out, but that we don't want to find out at all. No one dares to investigate this matter after hearing that the Ninth Princess's maid suddenly fell ill."

Those in the hospital refused to prescribe prescriptions, and secretly suggested that he burn all those people.

Wei Zhiji is stubborn. If it were anyone else, he might just cover it all up. Then, recalling the people the Ninth Princess usually comes in contact with, he can deal with these people secretly, so that everything can be peaceful. You know, in the palace

The probability of such a thing happening within the country is tantamount to the evil concubine bringing disaster to the country.

Only Wei holds the halberd and is willing to seek justice for the dead Ninth Princess.

"I remember that the biological mother of the Ninth Princess assassinated the Queen because of the Ninth Princess. Is she still in the clan mansion now?"

After Tang Junning heard this, she suddenly asked.

Wei Zhiji continued to nod: "He is indeed there, but I don't know if he is still alive."

"How about this, let's find a time to deceive her." Tang Junning gave her own solution, "I'll go with you and wait until tomorrow for the autopsy. I need to discuss it with the prince first."

Wei Zhiji hurriedly thanked her and kept praising her.

Tang Junning was a little embarrassed. From now on, she would rely on Wei Zhiji to get promoted and make a fortune to protect Prince Rui's palace.

Xiao Tingyan heard the news when he came back.

Tang Junning said seriously: "If there is really a plague in the capital city, it will be a disaster that will cause earth-shaking consequences."

"I will discuss this matter with my father." He finally put aside his grudge and was willing to believe her.

"No." Tang Junning rejected his proposal, "The emperor is still weak now. If he really knows this and becomes suspicious, what should he do?"

When you become an emperor, you are very suspicious and ill. Who doesn't climb to the throne by stepping on many bones?

Xiao Tingyan thought about it and was more cautious than her: "I'll take you to Jingcai's place."

"Did you protect her?" Tang Junning guessed it right away.

"Yeah." Xiao Tingyan didn't explain, he just felt that things in the palace were starting to get tricky.

After noon, Tang Junning entered Jingcai's cell. He didn't know whether to say that the Zongren Mansion was scary or that Jingcai was really miserable.

There were still rats squealing in the damp and dark cell, and messy straw was spread in the corner as a bed for the prisoners.

There were dark red blood stains everywhere on the floor, walls, and cell door. Some were old and some were fresh. They were mixed together, making people fearful.

Jingcai was huddled in a pile of straw, with dried blood on his prison clothes. He was staring blankly at the wall, unable to tell what he was thinking.

The cell door opened, and Jingcai said without even raising his head: "I really don't know about Concubine Shu. Don't come here to torture me anymore. If you still treat me as a human being, let them end it as soon as possible."

Leave me alone."

"Jingcai, what did you say?"

When Jingcai heard this voice, he raised his head suddenly.

"It's you!"

He seems to recognize it.

Tang Junning didn't want to go round and round with her, and asked directly: "You shouldn't have anyone here to tell you about the outside news, right?"

"The Ninth Princess is dead, did you know?"

Jingcai didn't know that no one said anything about it after she was arrested.

"Impossible!" Jing Cairen immediately denied, "My daughter is the ninth princess. She is raised by the Queen. How could something happen? No matter how cruel the Queen is, she will not kill my daughter at this juncture!"

Jingcai was originally a woman who grew up in a harem. All kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies came to mind, and she gritted her teeth with hatred.

However, what Tang Junning said next was even more shocking.

"The ninth princess is very likely to have contracted the plague. I am here to give you a chance to repent."

"Jingcai, let's do it. For the sake of the Ninth Princess, can't you bear to see the Ninth Princess' soul in heaven unable to live in peace?"

Jingcai needed some time to deal with his psychological problems, but Tang Junning was also patient and spent half an hour.

Jingcai Cai finally figured it out, his shoulders slumped, and he wiped away tears with trembling: "It was my fault, I failed to take good care of Jiu'er..."

She originally thought that as long as her ninth son was raised under the name of the most powerful woman in the harem, she would be safe and worry-free for the rest of her life, but who knew that in the end her daughter would become a pawn of those in the harem.

When Tang Junning came out of the clan's mansion, the expression on her face was so weird that the guards sent by Xiao Tingyan couldn't help but take a look.

Could it be that things were very difficult this time, that's why she showed such an expression?

Everyone began to speculate.

Tang Junning wrote a note and handed it to the guard beside her, and said in a deep voice: "Send this letter to the prince and tell him that there is something the prince wants here."

What does Xiao Tingyan want?

It's nothing more than the causes and consequences of Concubine Shu's death.
