This cellar was originally used by Shen Yijia to store ice. After the temperature in the capital dropped, the house did not buy any more ice, so it was left vacant.

Chen Duo'er was leaning on the chair and slept soundly, but was woken up by the surrounding movement. When she opened her eyes, she saw the old prince, who didn't know if she was alive or dead, and her pupils shrank suddenly in fright.

Song Jingchen saw her expression in his eyes. Chen Duoer had not explained the old prince before, did he not know his identity or deliberately concealed it?

He thought about it and waved someone to take Chen Duoer out first, then looked at the old prince and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"It must have fainted from fright." Nan Feng said after he went out and brought in a basin of water, and poured it on the old prince with his head and face covered.

The person who had fainted suddenly woke up: "Assassin, there are assassins..."

The exclamation stopped abruptly when he saw Song Jingchen, he moved his hands and feet and found that his whole body was bound, what else he didn't understand, and said angrily: "Uncle Zhongyi, you are so courageous, you dare to kidnap this king. "

Song Jingchen pulled Shen Yijia to sit down on the chair opposite him, shook his head and said, "I'm saving the prince."

"Save this king?" The old prince was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Joke. You'd better let this king go immediately, and this king can let go of what happened today, otherwise..."

Song Jingchen didn't answer his words, he suppressed the disgust in his heart and asked, "Does your Majesty know why His Majesty brought me back to the capital?"

The old prince didn't know why he asked this, and sneered: "It's not because you are successful in rescuing Xunyang City. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with this, murdering the royal family and relatives, but it's the crime of punishing the Nine Clan."

If it wasn't for his hands shaking, Shen Yijia would have thought he was as calm as he appeared.

Song Jingchen curled the corners of his lips: "I'm afraid only the prince believes this reason, right?"

The old prince was a little annoyed by him, but he had to bow his head when he was under the eaves. He frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Someone in the royal family is arresting young women in various places for the purpose of forming a party. It happened that I got a picture album in Xunyang City... The emperor called me back to let me investigate this case."

When he said this, Song Jingchen kept paying attention to the old prince, and did not miss the shocked look on his face.

It seems that the person behind the scenes did not tell him about it.

Also, if the old prince knew that the emperor was already investigating this case, he would definitely not let those women stay in Mingxiangju, which is under his name, and would blatantly visit it.

"If you investigate the case, what does it have to do with this king?" Even if he tried his best to hide it, he was obviously a little out of breath.

"My lord thinks that if there is no evidence, how can I have the courage to do this to the lord?" Song Jingchen didn't want to continue to detour with him, and reminded: "My lord, don't forget where my people invited you."

What nonsense "please" is obviously kidnapping!

The old prince wanted to scold, but he thought that he had only come out of Mingxiangju with his front feet, and his hind feet had been tied here, knowing that the matter of Mingxiangju had been exposed, his face changed, and he gritted his teeth: "What if there is a universe in Mingxiangju, The women inside were bought by this king, and the reason why this king wanted to hide it was for the sake of the royal family's reputation."

He was not worried at all that those women would betray and open a brothel. Even if Song Jingchen reported the matter to the emperor, the emperor would at most let him shut Mingxiangju off.

And Song Jingchen arrested him here, indicating that only those women in Mingxiangju were found, and there was no solid evidence in his hands, otherwise why not report it directly?

The more he thought about it, the more confident the old man became, and his hands stopped shaking.

Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows: "So you are the only master of Mingxiangju?"

"Hmph." The old prince said coldly, "Is there anyone in Beijing who doesn't know whose property is Mingxiangju?"

Song Jingchen didn't speak, and gave Nanfeng an order. After a while, Chen Duoer was brought back again: "Does the lord know her?"

As soon as Chen Duo'er saw the old prince, he kept hiding behind him, and he didn't even dare to look at him. The old prince just glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze: "I don't know."

There are so many women in Mingxiangju, even if they have seen him, they may not be able to remember, let alone Chen Duoer's unkempt appearance.

"But she came from Mingxiangju. Without her, I wouldn't be able to find Mingxiangju." Song Jingchen waved his hand, and Nanfeng took out Chen Duo'er's confession and held it in front of the old prince for him to see.

"Have you seen him?"

This sentence was asked by Chen Duoer.

Chen Duo'er trembled for a while, and nodded hastily: "See, see..."

Thinking of Song Jingchen's name for this person, he quickly explained: "But I didn't know his identity before..."

Not everyone will be obedient when they enter Mingxiangju. Some choose to run away or hang themselves, while others are submissive and secretly ask for help when picking up guests, but those so-called guests are all nested with them, so no matter what kind they are, No success.

Then those people will be sent to the backyard to be punished...

In order to warn others, at this time, they will take turns to be taken to watch the "penalty", and the so-called criminal law is to be tortured to death by one or more men.

She has seen the old prince because after every wrong woman is sent, he has to choose first, and he chooses the rest before giving it to others.

Song Jingchen didn't think she was lying, so he waved someone to take her down.

"Slander, this king doesn't know her at all." The old prince had finished reading the confession, and said angrily, "Song Jingchen, don't think that just finding a woman and talking nonsense can convict this king."

"I have all the personal and physical evidence. Does the lord say that His Majesty will believe you?" Song Jingchen said lightly: "Besides, I said, I am saving the lord."

Naturally, the emperor would not believe his empty words.

The old prince knew that he was planted this time, and he just smiled coldly when he said to Song Jingchen to save him.

"I know that Wang Ye was also used by others." Song Jingchen gave him a sympathetic look, and said in a persuasive manner, "I have a picture album in my hand, including the case that His Majesty asked me to investigate. That person knows that not only did he send someone to block me from entering Beijing, but he even sent people to stop me from entering Beijing. He removed all the women in Xunyang City immediately, but he didn't tell the prince about it, obviously planning to make the prince the scapegoat once the incident happened..."

His analysis made the old man's face change again. I don't know what he thought, he snorted coldly: "Then you can go and tell this good nephew of this king, but if you want to know something from this king, then you The wishful thinking was wrong."

Song Jingchen frowned, the old prince's behavior was unexpected to him.

In fact, he couldn't understand why the old prince wanted to participate in these things.

He had neither merit nor fault in his life, and he never intervened in government affairs. It can be said that no matter who became the emperor, his days would not be sad.

If it is said that he has a son under his knees, it can be said that he is planning for future generations, but who in this big Xia knows that the king and wife of Xia only have one daughter under his knees, so it can’t be for his grandson, right?

Thinking of this, Song Jingchen paused, and the outside world said that the old prince and the old princess were deeply in love, and there was no concubine in the mansion, but what I saw last night was obviously not the case. Woolen cloth?

If there is such a son, the identity of the royal illegitimate child is destined to make that person unable to lift his head...

No, concubinage is the norm. If such a woman really exists, the old prince can completely pass the person on the road when the woman is pregnant. There is no need to hide it. Affectionate reputation, right?

What is the reason why he would rather carry such a big crime on his back than tell the real person behind the scenes?

Song Jingchen was a little irritable. If the old prince didn't let go, he wouldn't be able to report the matter for a day, otherwise he would have let go of the real mastermind.

"I don't hesitate to die for someone who pushes you to take the blame at any time. Those who didn't know it thought it was your son." Shen Yijia said contemptuously.

Song Jingchen most suspected that the old prince had a heir that he didn't know existed. He cooperated with that person in order to pave the way for him, but Shen Yijia didn't dare to think so.

However, it was Shen Yijia's casual taunt that made the old prince change his face instantly. Although he concealed it very quickly, Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen still saw it.

That fleeting shock can never be misunderstood.

The two looked at each other in disbelief, and got clues from Master Liu that this was the work of a certain prince.

The old prince can't sleep with his niece, and even let her get pregnant, right?

This is also terrible. Knowing such a scandal as the royal family, will they be silenced?

"Nonsense..." The old prince began to curse after reacting, but Song Jingchen directly pulled Shen Yijia out of the cellar.

He tried to calm himself down, took a pen and paper to write down the ages of all the princes, and began to analyze the possibilities.

Since the death of the late emperor, the old prince has rarely entered the palace, let alone stayed overnight. Obviously, it is impossible to have an affair with a woman in the East Palace.

As for the late emperor, although he often asked the only younger brother to enter the palace to accompany him to talk, sometimes he even stayed overnight. But at that time, the emperor, who was still the crown prince, was always empty, and...

"No." Song Jingchen said suddenly.

Shen Yijia: "What's wrong?"

Song Jingchen circled Shangguanpu. Shangguanpu was 21 years old this year, and this year happened to be the 21st year of Chong'an.

He looked at Shen Yijia with burning eyes: "If your guess is right, only the First Prince fits."

At that time, it was not bad that the emperor had no children, but in the second month after the death of the emperor, Liu Guifei revealed that she was three months pregnant.

And the late emperor was already in poor health a month before his death. The old prince was worried about him, and he basically stayed in the palace for that month...

Shen Yijia: Can she say that she is just talking nonsense?

"Master, someone sent a letter." A voice suddenly came to mind outside the door.

Send a letter at night?

Song Jingchen let a tube in, the letter was tied to the stone, he untied it and opened it to see what was inside.

He tightened his hands and asked with a frown, "Who sent it?"

"The subordinate was on duty at the concierge, and suddenly someone threw this in. The subordinate went out to check but didn't see anyone."

Shen Yijia curiously leaned over and glanced at it, and was also surprised: "This, this, this is all true?"
