The emperor took a deep breath after hearing Chu Yan's words.
He sat stiffly on the dragon chair for a while, and then he realized that Chu Yan was right. After eight years, there is no guarantee that Nan Qi and Nan Liang have recovered, and if they come back again, it is possible.
Why hasn't he thought that Nan Qi and Nan Liang would come back again in these years?
Probably the battle at Yuxueling was so brutal that it gave him the illusion that the next few decades would be stable. The Nanyang Palace no longer threatened the imperial power, and Nan Qi and Nan Liang did not dare to invade the great Chu. As everyone knows, there is no absolute in everything!
Chu Yan looked at the emperor's expression and couldn't explain what he felt in his heart. This man was his father and his legitimate son, but it was obvious that he still had no intention of making him the crown prince.
On that day, An Huajin rode out of the palace, and what he said to him echoed in his mind for three days. If he could not be crowned the great treasure, the An family might really have no descendants.
Alarmist? No!
He enjoys the treatment of a legitimate son. He has been taken by his side to teach him since he was a child. He really knows his father very well.
"I know, you go ahead!" The emperor didn't say to investigate, nor did he say not to investigate. These words were so sudden that he had to think carefully.
Chu Yan nodded and left the south study room.
The queen waited impatiently and ordered people to search for information three times before bringing Chu Yanpan into Fengqi Palace.
"You went to see His Majesty about the murder of little An'er? What did His Majesty say?" Although the Queen knew that An Huajin was fine, her heart was still clenching. How could a thief be so bold in broad daylight?<
/p>
Chu Yan nodded and told the story of his meeting with the emperor without concealing it.
After hearing this, the queen's face turned pale and pale, and after a while, she lowered her voice and said, "Are they really from Nan Qi and Nan Liang?"
Chu Yan had no expression on his face, "As long as the father believes that it was the spies of Nan Qi and Nan Liang. As for who did it, as long as the father orders a large-scale investigation and turns the surrounding area of the capital upside down, we can always find out.
There are some people who are hiding behind the scenes."
The queen understood, and she suddenly felt resentful in her heart, "If one of them really did it, I will definitely not be able to spare him."
"Apart from us, my father is the one who least wants anything to happen to my cousin." Chu Yan said calmly, "Mother, there is no need to be angry. My cousin is not easy to mess with. She will not give up if she knows someone is going to kill her. What's more, she won't give up.
With Gu Qingyan by her side, something happened just today, and Gu Qingyan had people seal off all people coming and going at the foot of the Jokhang Temple. It can be seen that she is very concerned about her cousin's safety."
The Queen's face softened slightly, "I was born in the An family, and with the word "An" on my head, I would not be able to harm His Majesty's heirs. When your grandfather entered the palace, he also specifically warned me, warning me if I was not virtuous.
, he does not recognize my daughter. In the past twenty years, Your Majesty has been a womanizer, with three thousand beauties in the harem, and concubines and beauties born one after another. I not only do not cause harm, but also protect me with all my heart. But even if I am like this
, Your grandfather is so loyal and loyal, but His Majesty still has no intention of making you his heir. I don’t understand why An’s family has been loyal to his duties for 150 years and his descendants have been buried in the battlefield. Why can’t he warm the emperor’s heart?”<
/p>
Chu Yan was silent.
The queen's resentment has been suppressed, and now it seems to have reached its peak, "He wanted to kill the eldest prince, but I had to protect him back then. The eldest prince did the right thing, why did he kill him? Now you are right to protect him. Da Chu's weapons are old.
This is a big hidden danger. Now I will take a look. If Nan Qi and Nan Liang really make a comeback, what will Da Chu use to fight against? Who will go to the battlefield? Is it his father who is in poor health? Or Xiao An'er? Or who has the ability to take charge of the Nanyang Army?
?Even if someone goes, will they still take old weapons? If they don’t take old weapons, then they have to use the weapons privately made by the eldest prince. As long as they are used, the eldest prince must be released."
"I just want to see if it hurts to be slapped in the face by Your Majesty."
Chu Yan remained silent.
The queen vented her anger. Seeing her son's calm and indifferent face, she also calmed down and asked, "Are you suspicious of anyone?"
Chu Yan shook his head, "No."
No doubt, just doubt.
The queen took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, nothing can happen to little An'er again. She is the only one in the An family. If something happens to her again, I will..."
"Mother!" Chu Yan interrupted the queen, "With my cousin's ability, the queen should believe that no one can harm her."
The queen stopped her bad thoughts and said, "I heard that Chu Chen went to the foot of the Jokhang Temple. Shouldn't you also go and have a look?"
"I don't plan to go. I stay in the capital and secretly order people to keep an eye on some movements. Gu Qingyan is here and Chu Chen has gone again. It's useless for me to go." Chu Yan shook his head and suggested, "But my mother can
Send someone to see my cousin, and follow the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to see the progress of the investigation."
The queen nodded, "What you said makes sense, I will send someone there right away."
The people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple did not dare to delay at all. Even if Chu Chen worked hard, they did not catch up with him until the crime scene was at the foot of the Jokhang Temple.
When the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple heard that Young Prince Chen had brought His Majesty's order to investigate the case together, they were stunned. They hurriedly greeted each other and arrived in front of Gu Qingyan and An Huajin together.
Gu Qingyan and An Huajin were still staying in the tea shed. Gu Qingyan was sitting upright, and An Huajin was lazily leaning on the back of the chair. In addition to three dead bodies on the ground, there were also two gagged and tied bodies.
There is an old man with gray hair and a young bald monk.
When people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple came, they naturally wanted to understand the situation first. Although they came in a hurry, they were fully prepared and brought their work with them.
After the group of people greeted each other, Chu Chen looked at the tea bowl in front of An Huajin and asked, "Is the bowl in front of you poisonous tea?"
"Well!" An Huajin glanced at him sideways, "Why are you here to join in the fun?"
This unwelcoming tone is really unconcealed.
Chu Chen suddenly felt depressed and glared at An Huajin, "You and my sister had a dispute first, and then something like this happened in the blink of an eye? Do you think I can still sit still? Even if I'm not worried about you, I still have to come and clean it up quickly.
To put an end to the suspicion and injustice of Prince Shan’s palace.”
"It makes sense." An Huajin nodded, "Okay, I'll leave this to you." After saying that, he asked Gu Qingyan, "Since everyone is here, shall we go?"
"Yes." Gu Qingyan nodded and said gently to Chu Chen, "The two people on the ground were suspected of being sneaky after the incident, and they were probably accomplices. Now that the young prince, the Ministry of Punishment, and the adults from Dali Temple are here,
, then I’ll leave everything here to you.”
"You want to leave? Don't you want to stay here and follow the investigation?" Chu Chen was shocked.
"No, which victim still follows the investigation after reporting the case." An Huajin stood up.
Gu Qingyan smiled and stood up, "Please leave it to the young prince and all the adults."
"...Where are you going?" As soon as he arrived, they were about to leave?
"Go to the Jokhang Temple. It is said that the vegetarian food in the Jokhang Temple is delicious. I originally wanted to go to the Jokhang Temple, but I can't stop going just because someone wants to poison me." An Huajin looked at Chu Chen, "Since you have given the order to His Majesty,
According to the imperial edict, we will investigate the case carefully and try to find the murderer as soon as possible. We are leaving."
Chu Chen: "..."
He watched the two of them leave the tea shed and leave on horseback, with a confused look on his face, and countless questions in his mind. Why did he come here in a hurry???
