Chapter 393 Proud
When the eldest prince followed Lin Yi to the imperial garden, he saw from afar the twelfth prince sitting in the corridor drinking tea, looking very leisurely.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

The eldest prince snorted twice, walked in with two big strides, sat down opposite the twelfth prince, and asked: "Why did you ask someone to come to me in such a hurry? What do you want to tell me?"

The twelfth prince asked the eldest prince to sit down and asked straight to the point: "I heard that eldest brother is still asking about the incident of Jinse being taken away before?"

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and looked at the twelfth prince: "That's right, you can't interfere in this kind of thing, but I can."

Although Concubine Wu De didn't like the eldest prince to be too closely involved with Jinse, she was still willing to help if the eldest prince wanted to investigate Jinse's affairs.

Although Concubine Wu De did this not only because the eldest prince wanted to investigate, but more because she wanted to do something with this investigation...

But sometimes when people work together to do something, it doesn’t matter if they have different goals. As long as a result can be achieved, it’s good, right?
The twelfth prince looked at the eldest prince and said, "Brother, I wonder what the Empress Defei has found out?"

This question was asked.

The eldest prince snorted. Although he knew that the twelfth prince's question was very accurate, he was not happy when he heard it.

The way he asked this sounded as if he couldn't do anything except asking his mother for help.

The twelfth prince didn't care whether the eldest prince was happy or not, he just wanted to know what Concubine Wu De had found out: "Eldest brother?"

The eldest prince paused for a moment and did not answer the twelfth prince's question, but asked: "Old Twelfth Prince, you are still young. You don't need to worry about this matter. I will investigate it."

According to the information obtained from her mother, Jinse's past incident seemed to have something to do with the Queen.

It’s not that the eldest prince feels sorry for the twelfth prince, but is afraid that he will get into trouble because of this matter.

Honestly, he felt that the twelfth prince didn't even have a mother to help him in the harem, and he was just a child. What could he do even if he knew?
If you can't do anything, it's better not to know.

The twelfth prince insisted: "Big brother, I just want to know. Please tell me about it!"

"Why are you so stubborn!"

The eldest prince looked at the twelfth prince with displeasure, and after a long while he snorted: "Forget it, it's okay to talk to you, but you just listen and don't do anything else!"

After saying that, the eldest prince pointed at Jin Wu who had just returned and said, "You, tell the twelfth prince everything you found out before."

Jin Wu looked at the eldest prince in confusion, not knowing what his own prince was talking about.

He had just come back from delivering a message to Concubine De, and he didn't even know what his own prince and the twelfth prince had said!

Lin Yi looked at the eldest prince, then at his own master, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "What our prince wants to ask is the incident in which Miss Jinse was kidnapped."

Jinwu understood instantly and hurriedly told the news he had found out and the news he got from Concubine De.

Jinse was originally captured and tortured in private, so it is difficult to investigate, but not that difficult.

Although it was raining heavily and the weather was bad that day, there were still people in Sui'an Courtyard who saw who went there and took Jinse away. By paying some money, people in Sui'an Courtyard were willing to come out and point out the person.

In addition, the two maids who tortured Jinse were caught red-handed by the eldest prince.

The two maids were from the harem torture room. Although they didn't have any obvious masters, they could still find some traces of who they had seen before and where they had gone after they imprisoned Jinse. They might not be able to find out who the mastermind was right away, but there was always a trace of what they did.

Finally, Concubine Wu De's men traced the case to a second-class maid in Fengzhao Palace.

It’s just a pity that before Concubine Wu De could find the second-class palace maid and get any information from her, the palace maid was demoted from Fengzhao Palace for doing something wrong and then disappeared.

In this way, there will be no evidence to prove his guilt.

Therefore, although Concubine Wu De found out that someone in Fengzhao Palace was responsible, she had no evidence and therefore could not point out that it was someone sent by the Queen who did it.

Even if Concubine Wu De had an eight percent suspicion that this was done by someone sent by Queen Li, it was useless.

In this harem, any suspicion without evidence is nothing but self-suspicion.

Since Concubine Wu De had such suspicions, the eldest prince would naturally have the same suspicions.

Oh, or rather, Concubine Wu De was just very suspicious, while the eldest prince was almost certain that this matter was related to Queen Li.

After Concubine Wu De found out about these things, she repeatedly warned the eldest prince not to interfere in the matter, to prevent him from doing too much. In the end, not only did he fail to do anything to Queen Li, he also got implicated.

The eldest prince obviously didn't like to hear it.

But after being nagged by Concubine Wu De so much, he could only nod perfunctorily and pretend to be obedient.

At this moment, after listening to what Jin Wu and the twelfth prince had said, the eldest prince snorted coldly and continued, "My mother said that it was just a suspicion and could not be concluded. But as soon as I heard this, I knew it was definitely the Queen. Hasn't the Queen been looking for trouble with that girl Jinse over the years?"

No matter what, Queen Li would find an opportunity to deal with Jinse.

The eldest prince sometimes thought that it was fortunate that Jinse had always been a maid in the Dizhao Palace, which was why Empress Li was a little wary of her. Otherwise...

Thinking about it, the eldest prince said irritably: "At the beginning, I went to see my father and wanted him to give the girl to me, but he was unwilling."

I feel unhappy just thinking about it.

If the emperor had agreed at the beginning, and assigned Jinse to him, and had her follow him out of the palace, then there wouldn't have been all these troubles.
The twelfth prince glanced at the eldest prince with a slightly cold look in his eyes.

Obviously, the twelfth prince was not happy about the eldest prince wanting the emperor to assign Jinse to him.

After a while, the twelfth prince seemed to have thought of something and smiled again, with a hint of pride in his expression.

He said to the eldest prince: "But, father has agreed to let Jinse go to my twelfth prince's palace!"

The eldest prince first said "oh" nonchalantly, then he got angry and stared at the twelfth prince: "What did you say just now? I think I heard something wrong!"

The twelfth prince had a smile on his face and repeated, "Didn't the emperor grant us a mansion a while ago? Perhaps he was worried that I don't have anyone reliable around me, so he specially sent Sister Jinse to be by my side. Once the mansion is built, Sister Jinse will follow me out of the palace."

After saying that, the twelfth prince deliberately asked the eldest prince: "Eldest brother, I heard that our mansion was supervised by you. I wonder how it is going now and how long it will take for me to move out of the palace?"

He had an expectant expression on his face, as if he was going to take Sister Jinse out of the palace as soon as possible.

The eldest prince almost had a heart attack after watching this.
