Chapter 490 Case Breakthrough
Su Zhan talked a lot and didn't stop until the carriage entered the city.
They no longer struggled with the New Year's ceremony, but the eldest princess of Huai'an was still worried about what Shen Congrong said, and she was still thinking about it after returning home.
"Hubo, why do you think Ajue is doing these pictures? Is it possible that he has nothing to do in Zhaohua County?"
Hu Hu looked troubled and replied weakly: "Princess, I feel that the young master will not do useless things. He must have some purpose in helping the Shen family like this."
The eldest princess of Huai'an looked at Hu Huo, "I think so too, but... what does he want for the Shen family? As far as I know, the Shen family has an ordinary background. If Shen Yi had not become the adopted son of Yong'an Marquis and was promoted by Yong'an Marquis, he would still be just a child now. A farmer is just a country squire at most, and he will never be able to reach the position of county magistrate today.”
"Princess, I think it's different. Didn't Shen Yi make great achievements in the border area before? I heard that he was originally the commander of a small capital. If he has made great achievements, he can be promoted further. It was because he didn't want it, so the emperor gave him the money and the plaque.
He saved the life of Marquis Yong'an. This noble promotion was inevitable. It was reasonable for Shen Yi to be where he is today. What I couldn't understand was that no matter how talented Shen Yi was, the young master would not do anything just to win over someone. So many, especially the young master raising children for Shen Yi! This is incredible! ”
Amber told her true thoughts in front of Princess Huai'an.
She had watched Murong Jue grow up when he was still in the imperial capital. She knew how much Murong Jue hated children. When the eldest princess of Huai'an brought Murong Jue into the palace for a banquet, several children made a noise at the banquet, and he directly Beat those kids up.
At that time, Murong Jue bluntly expressed his dislike for the child, so that from then on, no female family member dared to take the child to the eldest princess' mansion.
The eldest princess of Huai'an stroked her forehead and frowned, "Don't say you can't understand, even I think this matter is incredible! If those two children were older, I could still think about men and women, but they are just Eight years old! My son is not crazy, he can’t have that kind of thoughts!”
Amber pondered for a moment and suggested: "Princess, you might as well write to the young master directly to ask for a clear explanation. It is better than thinking like this! In addition, it is time to inform the young master about Miss Zhao's affairs."
The eldest princess of Huai'an sighed, "Before Zhao Furong's accident, I thought this marriage was very good. Only after her accident did I know that she was so inconsistent, and almost harmed A Jue. When you wrote the letter, by the way Ask Ah Jue what she thinks about the marriage, so that I won’t make any fuss here and it will be all in vain.”
Amber quickly went to do it.
At the same time, Shen Tian also returned to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
He casually mentioned to Murong Chen what happened at the Buddhist temple.
"Your Highness, why do you think Murong Jue helped Brother Shen raise the child and gave the token to Congrong?"
She remembered that Murong Jue did not leave the imperial capital in his previous life. Because of his embarrassing status, he kept a low profile and had no reputation in the imperial capital. When he reached the age of marriage, the palace issued an order to marry Zhao Furong.
Murong Xu's ascension to the throne had no impact on the eldest princess of Huai'an, so she did not hear anything about Murong Jue's deeds until her death.
I didn't expect that such an unknown person in the previous life would do such a shocking thing.
Murong Chen came up to Shen Tian and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that my cousin is in trouble!"
"How do you say that?" Shen Tian was very curious.
Murong Chen saw that it was rare for her to be interested in one thing, so he didn't hide it.
"I don't know how much you have heard about my aunt. Back then, my aunt's prince-in-law took care of my aunt's wife and had a child with her. My aunt was so sad and angry that she sued the prince-son-in-law. The matter was very big. My father The emperor is angry After all, Jue's cousin was his aunt's only son, and it was impossible for her aunt to give her child to the Prince Consort's family. For this reason, the father gave Jue's cousin the surname Murong. >
But after all, Jue's cousin is not really from the Murong royal family. He has been bullied since he was a child, which has also developed his low-key style.
Even though this guy doesn't show off his appearance, he is actually very weak! In order to prove himself, he did not hesitate to put himself in danger and entered his father's secret guard camp. He held real power in his hands!
Not much is known about this matter, so I’m telling you, please keep quiet. ”
Shen Tian nodded hurriedly, "Your Highness, what does this have to do with Murong Jue raising a child for Brother Shen?"
Murong Chen was happy, "Don't worry! I haven't finished speaking yet! Ajue has hated children since he was a child and will never do such a thing. His current behavior is more like trying to please Shen Yi. If I hadn't If I remember correctly, Shen Yi has a daughter about the same age as A Jue, right?”
Shen Tian's eyes widened in astonishment, "You mean Murong Jue is looking at Yue Zhang? That's impossible!"
Murong Chen shrugged, "Except for this reason, all other reasons are untenable! Should we take a gamble?"
"What are you betting on?" Shen Tian came closer.
Murong Chen's smile deepened, "Just bet on the purpose of Ah Jue's doing this! If I lose, I'll let you do it. If you lose, let me do it. How about that?"
As he said that, Murong Chen looked at Shen Tian in a look that was gradually becoming a little unserious.

Shen Tian smiled angrily and hummed softly, "Your Highness, I am a woman and not a fool. Besides, do I look so easy to cheat? There is no benefit to me whether I win or lose this bet. If I don't play, I won't play."

The matter of Murong Jue was just ignored.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and the closer to the end of the year, the stronger the New Year atmosphere in the imperial capital becomes.
Only in the palace.
As the identities of the deceased in Jinlan Court came to light one by one, the Empress's mood became heavier day by day.
"Twenty-three skeletons, five pregnant palace maids, three elderly palace ladies, six fifteen-year-old palace ladies, and the rest are all eunuchs! These people were not working in the imperial kitchen before, Even in the Huanyi Division, there are two people who are suspected to be attendants of the Taiyuan Hospital. How interesting!" The emperor gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
The Queen was also frightened, "The Imperial Kitchen and the Huanyi Department are in charge of the food and clothing of the various masters in the palace, and they are also the places where it is easiest to manipulate. I am afraid that there are endless conspiracies behind the deaths of these people!"
The queen closed her eyes deeply and thought deeply.
At this moment, Eunuch Zhou hurriedly came in and reported, "Your Majesty, all the people that Xiao Muzi contacted frequently during his lifetime have been identified. They include the chef, steward, nuns in the imperial kitchen, and the maids who set the fire, in addition to that."
"Who?" The emperor showed signs of anger.
Eunuch Zhou hurriedly knelt down, "There is another person. She is Chuntao, the manager of the Huanyi Department. She is the maid of Empress Libi. After the death of Empress Libi, she has been taking care of the second prince. Later, the second prince left the palace and opened a mansion. Chuntao received the favor of the Queen Mother and became the steward of the Huanyi Department.”
