Princess Shanyang is the daughter of the previous emperor and the sister of the current emperor. As a princess of the royal family who has always been a strange generation, Princess Shanyang has no flaws that people criticize, except for one thing,

she is very beautiful. Princess Shanyang is very beautiful herself, and she chose her husband herself, who is also a rare beauty. The son of the two will not be ugly in any way. Indeed, Ge Hui has completely inherited his mother's appearance. Even if he is a little fat, he is still a good-looking fat man.

If Lu Zheng is considered the little bully of Yanjing, he is not good enough in front of Ge Hui. If Yanjing wants to publish a ranking list of troublemakers, Ge Hui ranks second and no one dares to rank first. When

these two people meet, it is no wonder that the guard dare not deal with it privately and can only run back to ask for help.

When Rong Zhen and Jian Yu arrived at the place, they did not see the scene they imagined, but two drunken brothers were arm in arm, talking incomprehensible words.

Rong Zhen did not care about the guard's false military information, and went straight up to separate the two. Lu Zheng shuddered, and a cloak had already wrapped him up.

Rong Zhen half-covered Lu Zheng and frowned, saying, "What happened?"

The little friend was dragged away, and Ge Hui squinted his hazy drunken eyes and yelled, "It's none of your business!"

Rong Zhen looked at the servants in the princess's mansion who were about to cry, and said coldly, "Do you want to sober him up yourselves, or let me do it?"

"No, no, don't bother your Highness." Several servants dragged Ge Hui down to drink sobering tea, fearing that if they were a step slower, the King of Chu would throw him into the pool. By then, Princess Shanyang would not dare to get angry with her brother, and they would be the ones to suffer.

Jian Yu took a step forward and wanted to take Lu Zheng from Rong Zhen, but was stopped by someone. Rong Zhen said directly: "Have someone clean up a private room." Jian Yu

clenched his fists and could only watch Rong Zhen help the drunken Lu Zheng to the private room.

Jinxiu Tower has several private rooms specially prepared for drunk guests. With the order of the King of Chu, they were quickly cleaned up.

Rong Zhen helped Lu Zheng walk in. The private room was very clean, without any messy spices, and even the bedding was a light green. He nodded, and two maids came over and wanted to help Lu Zheng lie on the bed.

But Lu Zheng, who had always been very cooperative, didn't do it this time. He not only pushed the maid out, but also grabbed Rong Zhen's neck rudely: "Don't touch me!"

The two maids fell heavily, and they were afraid that the guest would be angry, so they hurriedly got up and wanted to help Lu Zheng.

Rong Zhen waved his hands: "Okay, I'll do it."

As he said that, he picked up Lu Zheng and weighed him. He felt that the weight was much lighter than he thought.

Jian Yu, who came in later, felt a pain in his heart when he saw this scene. Before he could figure it out, he had already blocked Rong Zhen.

"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu, please don't bother with these rough jobs."

Rong Zhen held Lu Zheng and narrowed his eyes: "Get out of the way."

"Your Highness, you don't want any bad rumors to spread tomorrow." Jian Yu said with a hint of meaning.

The two maids kneeling below were already scared pale.

Rong Zhen lowered his eyes: "Withdraw."

The two of them crawled out of the room as if they heard a sound.

Rong Zhen looked at Jian Yu who was blocking him again: "I don't want to say the same thing a second time."

Jian Yu wanted to say something, but he saw Lu Zheng in Rong Zhen's arms frowned, let out a low moan, then opened his eyes and blinked blankly.

Lu Zheng felt weak and sore all over. He wanted to concentrate, but he felt pain in his temples.

Jian Yu poured him a cup of tea: "Drink some hot water first."

Lu Zheng drank it all in one gulp, and then he felt that his headache was relieved a lot. He looked at Rong Zhen on the side again. For some reason, His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked a little scary.

Lu Zheng didn't dare to look at him again, and asked hurriedly: "What happened just now?"

Before Jian Yu could say anything, Ge Hui, who had been forced to drink several cups of sobering tea, was brought in with a bitter face. Although Ge Hui was a troublemaker, he also knew who to provoke and who not to provoke. Now His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was sitting in the main seat, was in the category of people who should not be provoked.

"Tenth...Nineteenth Uncle."

Rong Zhen said calmly: "Tell me, what happened to you two?"

Ge Hui glanced at Lu Zheng cautiously, and Lu Zheng happened to look over. Before the two could react, they heard Rong Zhen's cough.

The two quickly looked away, and Ge Hui looked at the floor in front of him and answered honestly: "My nephew heard about Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu's ability to solve cases, and wanted to ask him to help solve a case."

"Solve the case?"

Ge Hui raised his head bravely: "Yes, the one who died... was one of my nephew's concubines, but..."

"Is a concubine worth your life and death, and you going crazy in public?" Rong Zhen said coldly.

"No." Ge Hui gritted his teeth, "It's just that her death was too strange. Although more than half a year has passed, my nephew still can't let it go."

Lu Zheng didn't care so much, but just asked puzzledly: "What's going on?"

Although Ge Hui seemed unreliable, he had an excellent memory. Although more than half a year had passed, he could still recount it clearly.

"That's my new concubine, named Mianchun." Ge Hui didn't have the nerve to say that this was a prostitute in a brothel, so he just passed it over vaguely, "It was very hot that day, so I went back to the main house to sleep. The small house by the water where Mianchun lived was relatively remote, so the guards in the past would not deliberately go around her. Mianchun never liked to be served in the inner room, so the maids lived next door. The next morning, the maid went to her room and found that she was tied to a stool with a knife stuck in her chest. She had been... dead for a long time."

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment: "Didn't anyone hear her cry for help?"

Ge Hui shook his head: "No, the maids said that she slept soundly that night, and Mianchun almost never got up at night, so there was no one serving outside."

"Are the windows or door locks damaged?"

"No, the window was open, but there was a lake behind it, so it was impossible for anyone to get in from there." Ge Hui recalled, "The door was also ajar, but the courtyards were locked at night, and no one left the Linshui Xiaozhu that night."

This case looked like the work of an insider, but if it was that simple, Ge Hui wouldn't have been worried about it for half a year. After all, they could see that Ge Hui didn't have deep feelings for the concubine.

Lu Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Did you report it to the authorities?"

Ge Hui gritted his teeth and said, "No." Without waiting for Lu Zheng to ask again, he said, "Actually, I've always suspected that this was done by my wife. She comes from a noble family and is surrounded by many talented people. Moreover, after the incident, my mother has not allowed me to report it to the police, which made me more suspicious. I... I really can't stand the person sleeping next to me being such a cold-blooded and cruel person."

Lu Zheng was speechless. Not to mention that Ge Hui was obviously a scumbag and the case was not clear, he splashed dirty water on his wife's head, which made Lu Zheng look down on him. But after all, he had already agreed. He was also a little curious about the case, so he said, "Why don't you tell me more about why you suspect the murderer is your wife?"

Ge Hui said, "Before Mianchun died, she was too ostentatious. She was punished by my wife in public. Later, she was punished again for trivial matters. Mianchun had some complaints about her. After I knew about it, I also blamed my wife... Maybe it was because of anger, maybe it was because of jealousy, but who in this Manchu mansion is more likely to kill Mianchun than her?!" Ge Hui became angrier and angrier as he spoke, "But my mother said, "Mianchun's case was committed by robbers, how ridiculous! How could there be such a blind robber who would commit crimes in the inner city and kill people in the princess's mansion! I argued with my mother, but she actually punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall because I was rude to my wife!"

This was even more strange. Princess Shanyang was famous for protecting her children. Ge Hui was her only son, and every year he caused trouble for her to clean up. However, Princess Shanyang never blamed him, which shaped Ge Hui's current character. It was unimaginable that she would punish Ge Hui for her daughter-in-law.

The three people present all knew the temperament of the Princess Shanyang. Lu Zheng and Jian Yu did not say anything, but Rong Zhen said directly: "Nonsense! If you are not satisfied, you can just report it to the authorities. Since you haven't reported it to the authorities, but you bring it up again after such a long time, and even suspect your mother, isn't this unfilial and unrighteous?"

Ge Hui's face turned red, but he still insisted: "My nephew feels chilled to the bone when I think that my wife could be such a vicious person. This matter is like a thorn in my side. If it is not resolved, my nephew really doesn't know what will happen!"

Lu Zheng was about to say something when he was held down by Jian Yu, who shook his head at him secretly.

Rong Zhen said, "Do you know what your family will experience if this case turns out to be as you said?"

Ge Hui shrank back at the coldness in Rong Zhen's words, but still insisted, "I know. I beg Uncle Nineteen to help me."

Rong Zhen stroked the rim of the teacup, and in the silence of the room, he spoke softly, "Okay."

Ge Hui's eyes lit up, and before he could thank him, Rong Zhen said, "It's just that I'm also interested in this case. You won't mind me meddling in it, will you?"

Ge Hui's smile froze on his face, and he almost forced out these words from his throat, "No... I don't mind."

"Very good." Rong Zhen looked at Lu Zheng, "Tomorrow this king will take you to the princess's mansion."

Lu Zheng was stunned. What just happened, and he didn't say anything? ! How come his schedule is so confirmed?!

Also, aren't they here to watch the King of Lights selection? Where is the King of Lights?!
