Emperor Jing Ming's hand holding the white jade paperweight tightened unconsciously.

The sky was getting warmer, and Emperor Jing Ming was afraid of the heat, so he had asked the servants to withdraw from the brazier in the imperial study. At this time, he felt the coldness when he touched the smooth paperweight, as if he was in the mood at the moment.

Did he hear it wrong, Cui Yi said that Cui Mingyue was killed by the old man?

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Jing Ming insisted and asked calmly, "Yi'er, where did you hear the news?"

This child hasn't shown up for a long time after his parents died. Could it be that he was bewitched by someone with a heart, where did he hear the rumors?

Cui Yi's eyes were red, and his voice was trembling: "It's not where I heard it, but I saw Mingyue's corpse in the Xiangwang Mansion with my own eyes!"

"What?" Emperor Jing Ming never expected to hear such an answer, and the white jade paperweight in his hand almost flew out.

He immediately looked at Zhen Shicheng and said sternly, "Zhen Aiqing, please explain the details carefully!"

By this time, although Emperor Jing Ming did not want to admit it, he had already believed Cui Yi's words.

If Cui Yi was just hearsay, Zhen Shicheng would not have come to the palace together.

Zhen Shicheng bowed his hands to Emperor Jingming: "Report to the emperor, not long ago, Wei Chen received a report from the Xiangwang mansion, saying that several princes found a corpse in an abandoned well in the Xiangwang mansion——"

Hearing what the princes found out, Emperor Jing Ming's brows twitched, and he held the white jade paperweight and pointed at Zhen Shicheng: "Go on!"

Zhen Shicheng hesitantly stepped back quietly.

I heard that the paperweight on the dragon case has been exchanged for several pieces. Now that the emperor is holding the paperweight in his hand, it is still scary.

Zhen Shicheng continued with this hidden worry: "As soon as Wei Chen heard this, he rushed over with his staff—"

"Talk about the point!" Emperor Jing Ming's paperweight seemed to fly out.

This old Zhen is usually not very neat, so why is there so much nonsense today.

Zhen Shicheng hurriedly recounted what happened after he arrived at the Xiangwang Mansion. When he said that his beard was shaking when he was excited, Pan Hai, who was standing beside and behind Emperor Jing Ming, bowed his head silently.

Lord Zhen really forgets himself when he talks about the case, can't you think about the emperor's mood?

Pan Hai started to worry when he thought of this.

It's over, it's the emperor's son who committed the crime, and it will be difficult for him to serve him like this in the next few days.

Although the emperor is not a tyrant who takes people's lives at every turn, an emperor who is in a bad mood will become picky no matter how good his temper is.

Just like the aunt in charge of personnel, who usually sees him, this eunuch with a pen and a low brow is pleasing to the eye, and there are always so many days every month that he dares to choke with him.

He is magnanimous, and he is too lazy to care about women.

After listening to Zhen Shicheng talk for a full two quarters of an hour, Emperor Jing Ming asked gloomily, "Is it finished?"

Zhen Shicheng came back to his senses, and secretly screamed: I was so happy to patronize the unsolved case, and I forgot the emperor's position for a while...

He hurriedly bowed respectfully to Emperor Jing Ming, his tone as calm as possible: "That's the way it is, please make a clear decision--"

Emperor Jing Ming was silent with a livid face.

When it comes to investigating the case, looking at Da Zhou, he trusts Lao Zhen the most. At this time, he can't convince himself that Lao Ba was not the real murderer who killed Cui Mingyue.

When the atmosphere was stagnant, another servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the King of Xiang asks to see you."

Emperor Jing Ming shot the dragon case: "No!"

The inner servant who went out to spread the word didn't take long to return: "Your Majesty, several princes are here."

Emperor Jing Ming wanted to say that they were all gone, but when he thought that several sons were present when the incident happened, he changed his mind in the hope of an emergency: "It is said that a few of them came in with General Xiaotian."

Not long after, the chamberlain rushed over to pass on Emperor Jing Ming's oral decree.

King Xiang watched a few people enter with the servants, and even a dog followed, but he was left alone outside, and his face was ashen.

Emperor Jing Ming's face was also not much better. He glanced at the sons who came in, and his eyes fell on the big dog.

Seeing this, the old emperor almost didn't recognize it, and he was relieved when he saw the rounded white cat Jixiang out of the corner of his eye.

"The bones were found by Er Niu?"

Several princes nodded.

Emperor Jing Ming asked some more details, and finally asked Yu Jin: "Lao Qi, why did you think about bringing Er Niu with you when you went to see Lao Ba?"

It was Er Niu's credit that the abolished prince was dismantled and pretended to have amnesia, but it was Yu Jin who brought Er Niu into the palace at that time. This time King Xiang was unlucky again, and Emperor Jing Ming inevitably had some doubts in his heart.

Because of this suspicion, although Emperor Jing Ming's face was not obvious, there was a deep exploration hidden in the bottom of his eyes.

King Lu was unaware of this, and hurriedly replied: "Father, it was my son who brought Erniu there!"

Emperor Jing Ming was stagnant, and his thoughts were momentarily sluggish.

Could it be that he remembered wrongly, Erniu actually belonged to the fifth family?

The King of Qi and the King of Shu lowered their eyes and thought in unison: Find a chance to beat the old fifth.

Yu Jin's recent actions have brought a strong sense of crisis to the two of them. Seeing that Emperor Jing Ming finally had some doubts about him, he was snatched by King Lu.

King Lu didn't think about the mood of King Qi and King Shu at the moment. Of course, even if they thought of it, he didn't care. He said a little excitedly: "My son is going to see the eighth brother today, so he asked the seventh brother to go together—"

"You went to Lao Qi's?" Emperor Jing Ming interrupted King Lu.

King Lu nodded and continued: "Then I saw Er Niu, and my son was bored by the Er Niu, so he took it with him."

If you don't chew on good meat and bones, you have to hold his trouser legs, it's so boring, he's not wrong at all.

After listening to King Lu's words, the doubts that Emperor Jing Ming had had quietly dissipated, and he turned to look at Er Niu.

"Since the bones in the well have become white bones, how did Er Niu find them?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Yu Jin's face.

Yu Jin bowed his hands to Emperor Jing Ming with a calm face: "Probably Erniu is very talented. Back then, when my son took Erniu to Qianhe County for disaster relief, Erniu knew in advance that Koi Town would move, and that's how he saved the people of the town. …”

Emperor Jing Ming turned his attention to Er Niu again.

Er Niu seemed to realize that he was being questioned, and suddenly walked towards the dragon case with his tail waving.

"Stop!" Pan Hai shouted loudly, fearing that Erniu would hurt Emperor Jing Ming.

Erniu really stopped, and yelled at Emperor Jingming twice.

Seeing this, Emperor Jing Ming, who was a little nervous at first, was relieved and waved his hand: "Let's see what Er Niu is going to do."

"emperor--"

Emperor Jing Ming glanced at Yu Jin and said lightly, "It's okay, King Yan is here."

If he is really going to be bitten by Er Niu, he will find Lao Qi to settle the account.

Under everyone's attention, Er Niu raised his two front legs and grabbed the edge of the table, arching his dog's mouth to and fro in the mountains of memorials.

A group of people were shocked: What are Er Niu doing?

And Emperor Jing Ming woke up like a dream after the initial sluggishness and shouted: "Retreat!"

The big dog, who was burying his head in the music, raised his head and looked innocently at Emperor Jing Ming.

A booklet fell from the dog's mouth and fell in front of the crowd.
