Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 703: Many Cheats 24
But now, because the reputation of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is good, and Linlang is favored by Princess Changle, who gave her 10,000 taels for her dowry (no matter what the truth is, at least it is on the surface), the Jing'an Marquis and his wife are still willing to go to the palace to pay tribute, and naturally brought Linlang into the palace, letting Linlang discover the accident that had happened in the palace.

This accident had nothing to do with Linlang, but was related to Prince Anjiang.

As the cousin of the current emperor, it is normal for Prince Anjiang to be in the palace.

This accident was also very, very simple. If it happened outside, it would be a common plot in domestic fighting novels - the male protagonist was framed, soup spilled on him, and he went to change clothes. The female protagonist was also there, and the two of them were framed, rolled together, and finally had to be together.

Of course, in this matter, the heroine does not refer to Linlang, the legal fiancée, but a female official.

However, this kind of thing is normal outside, but it is very abnormal in the palace.

Women in the palace, even female officials, are tacitly considered to belong to the emperor. If the female official really got together with Prince Anjiang, even if the emperor would not do anything to him because Prince Anjiang is his cousin, even if the emperor knew that he was being plotted against, he would still be annoyed with him. After all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and as long as he is unhappy, he can do whatever he wants to people without any reason.

Fortunately, Prince Anjiang was alert. After entering, he found a woman. There was also something wrong with the fragrance in the room, which made people want to do something. Prince Anjiang immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly retreated. The eunuchs serving him had not been moved away in such a short time and were still outside, so Prince Anjiang escaped.

Otherwise, if something really happened, not only would the female official not have a good ending, but Prince Anjiang would also not have a good ending.

Since making this matter public would be disadvantageous to both Prince Anjiang and the female official, Prince Anjiang left immediately. After he left, neither Prince Anjiang nor the female official planned to tell anyone about it.

The reason why this happened quietly and yet was known to others was that the Prince of Anjiang had just retreated and hurried away with the eunuchs, and he did not intend to wait for the eunuch who had led the way before - that eunuch was most likely bribed to harm him, and led him to that place and then disappeared, so the Prince of Anjiang naturally did not intend to wait any longer - but as soon as he turned the corner, he ran into the emperor and the empress, who came over with their men and had grim expressions on their faces.

Seeing him, the emperor was startled, then his expression eased a lot and he said, "Prince Anjiang, why are you here?"

When Prince Anjiang saw the emperor and empress, his face suddenly turned ugly. He thought, if he hadn't just withdrawn from inside, wouldn't he have been caught by the emperor and empress? Who is plotting against him? Why is he plotting against him?

It shouldn't be his cousin. After all, he is just a prince from a side branch. He doesn't pose any threat to him and there is no reason for him to harm him. So the person who harmed him must be someone else.

He thought so in his heart, but the emperor and empress came at this time, so he had no time to think more. So he listened to the emperor's question and said, "Just now, the palace maid spilled soup on me. I came here to change my clothes under the guidance of the eunuch, but there were people in the place where the eunuch led me, so I retreated. As a result, the eunuch disappeared. There was no one to lead me to the new place to change clothes. I had to go back by myself. Who knew I would run into Your Majesty. Oh, Your Majesty, why are you here? Did the banquet end early?"

Since Prince Anjiang knew that he was being plotted against, he knew that the emperor came to catch him committing adultery, and he must know something about the situation. In this case, it would be easy for the emperor to expose his true identity if he lied to the emperor and said he saw nothing. He would then be charged with deceiving the emperor, which would be very bad, so Prince Anjiang basically told the truth.

The emperor knew that Prince Anjiang had been splashed with soup by a palace maid and had to change his clothes.

And he knew even more. For example, not long after Prince Anjiang left, someone told the Queen that Prince Anjiang was going to meet a beautiful woman in the palace under the pretext of changing clothes.

No matter which woman in the palace, she belonged to the emperor. When the empress heard about it, she told the emperor about it. The emperor naturally became angry and came to arrest the person.

But we didn’t know who Prince Anjiang was having a secret meeting with.

In such a short time, if Prince Anjiang really wanted to meet someone privately, it would probably be too late. After all, the eunuchs would not take Prince Anjiang to change clothes and they would not go too far. The places they could reach were only a short walk away. After all, who would be willing to go too far?

Since it only takes a short walk to get there, the emperor and his men naturally came quickly. With such a short time between them, there was definitely no time for a private meeting.

Moreover, Prince Anjiang was dressed neatly and had already left the target palace, preparing to rush to the front hall, so it was even more impossible for someone to report to the Queen.

And since the emperor saw that Prince Anjiang was not having a secret meeting with someone in the harem as the person who reported to the empress said, the emperor naturally did not blame him.

——It was fortunate that the distance was short, and the emperor rushed over quickly in such a short time, and then met Prince Anjiang outside, which made the emperor realize that nothing could happen in such a short time. Otherwise, if the distance was longer and there was time for something to happen, even if Prince Anjiang explained it this way, the emperor would not believe it, and Prince Anjiang would be finished.

Moreover, the emperor immediately realized the same thing as Prince Anjiang. If Prince Anjiang did not want to meet someone privately, but the eunuch brought him to this place and there was someone waiting inside, it could be that someone was plotting against Prince Anjiang.

But, what is the purpose of this person's calculation?

The emperor has sent people to the palace involved and detained the female official who had not left yet. He is preparing to investigate the truth of this matter. After all, this happened in the harem. The emperor is afraid when he thinks that there are bad people in the harem. He is afraid that the murderer in the dark will harm him one day, so he naturally wants to find the murderer behind the scenes.

Since no one made a big deal about it, how did the others know about it? Of course, they found out after seeing the emperor and empress suddenly pass away.

Each family is rich and powerful, and many of them have spies in the palace. How could they not get the news?

As for Linlang knowing this, it was because she found it strange that the emperor and empress left suddenly, so she sent a little bee to follow and see, and then she found out.

Seeing that such a thing happened, but the original body in the original world didn't know about it, Linlang guessed that this matter either didn't happen in the original body's world, or if it happened, the Jing'an Earl and his wife felt that this matter was not the fault of the Anjiang County Prince, so they didn't tell the original body.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Jing'an Marquis and his wife did not know about this, but this possibility is small, because seeing that other families sent people to inquire why the emperor and empress suddenly passed away, the Jing'an Marquis's wife also sent people to inquire, so she would know the situation.
