The prince longs for me every night after mastering thought-reading

Chapter 231 Missed the auspicious time



Tomorrow's dress was delivered yesterday, and Xiao Jinyan kept it in the side hall without even looking at it.

Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan sitting still, neither walking nor sleeping.

"Your Highness, I have performed well today, haven't you?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Well, if nothing unexpected happens, we can find out the mastermind behind this tomorrow."

Shen Chu frowned slightly: "Your Highness also performed very well today."

Xiao Jinyan was amused, "Tomorrow, I will send you a sheep, and you can roast it and eat it."

"Really?" Shen Chuwei hasn't eaten roasted whole lamb for a long time. She ate it with Xiao Jinyan last year. Now that she mentions it, her mouth is watering.

Xiao Jinyan chuckled: "When has I ever lied to you?"

Shen Chu slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "I have a whole roasted lamb to eat tomorrow. Your Highness, do you want to eat together tomorrow? I don't use spicy food..."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused and he pursed his lips tightly.

After Shen Chuwei said that, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. It was at this time that she remembered that tomorrow was the big day for the appointment of the Crown Princess. She would be very busy and would not have time to eat roasted whole lamb.

"His Royal Highness is busy with official duties every day. When you want to eat, I will ask Chunxi to bake it for you." Shen Chuwei tried to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Xiao Jinyan nodded in agreement, "Well, you should rest early."

"Yeah." Shen Chuwei took the soft pillow behind him, lay on the bed, pulled the quilt, and was about to close his eyes, but saw Xiao Jinyan sitting still.

"Your Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan stood up, covered her with the quilt again, stared at her for a while, "Go to sleep."

After saying that, he stood up straight and walked out.

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan's leaving figure. It wasn't until she heard the door closing that she looked away and closed her eyes to sleep.

After Xiao Jinyan returned to the palace, he went directly to the study. Because he couldn't sleep, he planned to get to the bottom of the matter overnight to avoid harming others in the future.

Liu Xi worked very quickly and soon found out the details about Dr. Zhao.

Xiao Jinyan asked: "How was the investigation?"

"Your Highness, Imperial Physician Zhao was originally a doctor on Chang'an Street. He had two elders, a wife and children at home. He was recommended by regular bachelors to work in Tai Hospital. He has been serving for more than a year. Among them, Doctor Zhao's mother is the nanny of Bachelor Chang. ”

Chang Xueshi is the second brother of Chang Liangdi and the second son of General Chang Da.

Immediately, Liu Xi took out another purse and handed it to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, this was found from Dr. Zhao."

Xiao Jinyan took it and took a look. It was just an ordinary purse. It was quite heavy when weighed. After opening it and pouring out the contents, he found three gold bars. He seemed to have guessed something. He ordered: "Go to the prison."

"Here." Liu Xi responded, holding a lantern and leading the way.

At this time, it was already the second watch, and the entire palace was shrouded in darkness.

Liu Xi led the way to Tianlao.

Wei Chi guarded Imperial Doctor Zhao every step of the way, just in case.

Wei Chi raised his head when he heard the noise and saw His Highness coming. He stood up quickly, bowed and saluted, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan stood outside the cell door in a black brocade robe, looking at Dr. Zhao inside. Dr. Zhao was currently tied up with a rag in his mouth.

Wei Chi has always been straightforward and prudent in his work.

He asked: "Did he confess?"

Wei Chi shook his head, "Your Highness, no."

At this time, Imperial Doctor Zhao was already exhausted. Although he was tied up by Wu Hua Da Da and faced with imminent disaster, he still couldn't resist his sleepiness and fell asleep leaning against the wall.

Xiao Jinyan ordered coldly: "Wake him up."

"I obey." Wei Chi came to the corner, picked up a bucket of cold water from the ground, opened the cell door, raised the bucket and poured it on Dr. Zhao's head.

The cold water poured down on his head and face, stimulating Dr. Zhao to wake up instantly.

Xiao Jinyan waited for a while, and when Doctor Zhao raised his head, he asked sternly: "I have already investigated. You have a close relationship with the Chang family. The mastermind behind the scenes is Chang Liangdi."

The last three words were spoken after careful consideration.

There may be some prejudice, but Chang Liangdi is the most suspicious.

The Chang family and Dr. Zhao had a chance to meet each other, and it was very possible that they could work for Chang Liangdi.

"Your Highness, this is really the fault of this humble minister alone and has nothing to do with anyone else."

Dr. Zhao originally wanted to hold on, but after all, there was no evidence to prove that it was related to Chang Liangdi.

But just as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Jinyan's cold voice, "You still refuse to tell the truth now? Do you want me to invite all your family members here and question them one by one?"

Without waiting for Doctor Zhao to refute.

Xiao Jinyan took out the purse again and showed it to Doctor Zhao, "You should know this, right?"

Imperial Doctor Zhao recognized at a glance that it was the gold bar rewarded by Chang Liangdi, and his whole body went limp.

Finally, Dr. Zhao confessed the whole story one by one.

Imperial Doctor Zhao was able to take up the post in the palace only because of Chang Xueshi's blessing. In addition, Chang Huilan would soon enter the East Palace and needed help from acquaintances, so imperial physician was indispensable.

Otherwise, Bachelor Chang would not recommend him casually.

After Zhao Yuyi and Chang Huilan entered the palace one after another, they have always been in contact.

A few days ago, Concubine Xu was inquiring about the prescription for a child, and Imperial Doctor Zhao happened to hear it. After informing Chang Liangdi, she gave Concubine Xu a fake prescription, with the purpose of overthrowing Concubine Xu.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the confession and realized that he had spent the whole night dealing with the matter. The truth of the matter had come to light. Not only that, the issue of establishing a crown princess had also been resolved.

The position of Crown Princess Chang Liangdi is untouchable.

It was already the fourth watch of the night. Xiao Jinyan did not rush to find Chang Liangdi to settle the score. Instead, he returned to the palace and planned to have a good rest and make the matter public tomorrow morning.

At the fifth watch of the night

Chang Liangdi was soaking in the bathtub at this time. The bathtub was not only filled with fresh flower petals, but also precious essential oils.

She was served by the maids while talking about the etiquette of the canonization.

Chang Liangdi listened quietly. Although she was a little sleepy at this time, she immediately became energetic and her eyes were full of expectations when she thought of the canonization ceremony in an hour.

After bathing, there were various skin care and dresses.

The dresses were complicated, layer by layer, and very particular.

After dressing up, it was makeup, which was also particular, and all of these needed to be done by the old maids in the palace.

Chang Liangdi sat in front of the dressing table, watching the maids busy with her hair and wearing the dragon and phoenix hairpin that only the crown princess could wear, and her eyes were filled with joy that could not be concealed.

Finally, under the skillful hands of the maids, the dignified and elegant makeup was completed.

She walked out with the maids supporting her.

At the entrance of the enthronement ceremony, except for the emcee of the guard of honor, no one saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"It's already this hour, why hasn't His Royal Highness come yet?"

"Didn't he prepare in advance?"

"Go and see what happened. It will be bad if you miss the auspicious time."

Everyone talked about it and looked worried.

Chang Liangdi looked in the direction of the Crown Prince's bedroom, but didn't see Xiao Jinyan, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Could it be that Xiao Jinyan stayed in the Hehuan Palace last night?

Good night, my dears!

It's Monday, a new beginning, I'm begging for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets by being cute!
