King Yue didn't seem to believe that the emperor would really want to deal with it fairly, so he stood on one side frowning all the time.

Tu Mastiff lowered his head and remained silent, but the thoughts in his heart were circulating rapidly, weighing how much benefit he could get from this matter.

Not long after, the commander of the imperial guards came back from inspection, and clasped his hands to report to the emperor: "Report to the emperor, I went to the former Prince Jin's mansion to check, and the princess of Beijiang was stabbed to death with a dagger, and the murder weapon is here."

Xu Li went down and picked up the tray containing the dagger and put it at the emperor's hand.

The emperor's eyebrows moved, and his voice was extremely cold: "This dagger bears the mark of the Department of Internal Affairs, is it a gift from the emperor? Xu Li, let someone go and find out who this dagger was given to?"

King Yue raised his head, his expression extremely indifferent: "Your Majesty, there is no need to check, this dagger was given to your younger brother by you earlier."

The emperor was taken aback, and frowned fiercely: "Jun Yue, did you really kill the princess of Northern Xinjiang?"

King Yue's face was gloomy, and his voice seemed to contain anger and grief: "Your Majesty, my brother told you before that the envoys of Beijiang and the princess of Beijiang jointly drugged me. I was so drugged that I didn't know what happened. , When I woke up, the princess of Beijiang was already dead, this is clearly the people of Beijiang deliberately framed my younger brother..."

"Your Majesty," Tu Mastiff knelt down, "His Royal Highness Yuewang is still arguing. Since the dagger is an imperial gift, it will naturally be carefully preserved. If it was not brought out by Yuewang himself, who would steal it? From the emperor He was unwilling to let King Yue take the place of Ning Junjin and our princess to pay homage to our princess. He even made a simple salute when worshiping heaven and earth in King Jin's mansion, and did not move at all after that. It was already a blatant rebellion. Later, King Yue coveted the princess's beauty even more, and wanted to be rude to her, but the princess resisted fiercely, angered him, and was brutally killed by him..."

King Yue sneered: "Tu Mastiff, what, you saw me kill Helian Liluo with your own eyes?"

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the evidence in the room is enough to prove what I said is true."

"Heh, since you didn't see it with your own eyes, you still dare to make up such details. Are you sure that there is no evidence in my hands? Your Majesty, Yu Heng has already brought the things in the room into the palace. Please ask the imperial physician to check it out. You will be able to find the traces of acacia incense and drugs in it."

"Then Xuan Yuheng will come in."

Yu Heng opened the curtains covering candles, incense burners, etc., and retreated respectfully to one side after saluting.

The imperial physician who was summoned stepped forward, picked up the objects on the curtain and inspected them carefully one by one, and said hesitantly after a while, "Reporting to the emperor, these things are for normal use, and there is no problem."

King Yue suddenly raised his head, his sharp eyes shot straight at the speaking imperial physician: "You have to see clearly!"

The imperial physician trembled, checked carefully again, and finally shook his head: "Reporting to the emperor, there is indeed nothing wrong with these things."

Tu Mastiff raised his head, and a trace of cold sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "His Royal Highness Yuewang, you can't continue to quibble now?" He dared to prescribe medicine, and he would naturally arrange everything well. Cleared up.

King Yue's teeth moved lightly, and a deep look flashed in his eyes: "Brother Huang, let's find a few more imperial physicians to check it out together."

The emperor looked at King Yue, and sighed softly, with a look of disappointment on his face: "That's fine."

Soon, another imperial physician was announced. After several inspections, the conclusion reached was the same as that of the previous imperial physician, and there was nothing wrong with the things Yu Heng brought.

The Northern Xinjiang envoys knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, King Yue bullied others, deliberately sabotaged the relationship between Northern Xinjiang and the Dali Dynasty, killed the princess of our Dali Dynasty, and almost killed all of our envoys. Please punish us severely. King Yue, uphold justice for us."

"Fourth brother, what else do you have to say now?"

"Brother Huang, you know my feelings for Yunyao. I only love her alone, so why would I covet Helian Liluo's beauty? I am even more loyal to Brother Huang. It is also very agreeable to live in peace with each other, if it is not an emergency, I will not take action at all..."

The envoys from Northern Xinjiang were annoyed: "Your Majesty, King Yue turned black and white. At that time, he was holding a dagger and locked the door. All the officials of the Dali Dynasty present can testify. Please check it out!"

"Please, Your Majesty, be careful!"

The emperor sighed deeply, with a look of embarrassment on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "There are many doubts about this matter, so we should discuss it in the long term..."

"Your Majesty, Princess Helian was raised by our former Queen of Beijiang, and she has a deep friendship with the brothers and sisters of the King of Beijiang. Now that she is brutally murdered, our King will definitely avenge the Princess!"

Yue Wang sneered: "Are you threatening the emperor?"

"I'm just stating my position. The princess was persecuted to death. The murderer must be severely punished! Although we in Northern Xinjiang are not as good as the Dali Dynasty, we will not allow others to bully us. This matter must be settled!"

"Okay, this matter, I will naturally communicate with the king of Beijiang, Ning Junyue, you have worked hard this time, and you don't need to take care of the Jingwei Army for the time being, so you can rest in the palace for a few days, the envoy of Beijiang I will go down to recuperate first, and I will make decisions for you about today's matter."

Hearing that the emperor did not deal with King Yue directly, the envoys from Northern Xinjiang were extremely dissatisfied, and each one was filled with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, the evidence of King Yue's murder is solid, why not punish him severely?"

"Back off!" The emperor was impatient, and the imperial guards rushed in at the door, and surrounded the shouting envoys of Northern Xinjiang with a bang.

The man quickly stopped talking, and reluctantly followed Tu Mastiff down.

King Yue couldn't believe it, and said unwillingly: "Brother Huang, how can you listen to the one-sided words of the people in Beijiang?"

"Okay, I have other things to do, you can also retreat." After the emperor finished speaking, he left the hall without looking at King Yue again.

King Yue's face was tense, and his eyes were full of anger. After glancing at the envoys in Beijiang, he turned and strode away.

Tu Mastiff led the people back to the post house, and after bandaging the wound, he immediately called in the person who had gone out to inquire about the news: "What's going on at King Yue's Mansion, please tell me carefully."

"My lord, after King Yue left the palace, he returned directly to the mansion. After that, the mansion closed the door to thank the guests. When you and King Yue entered the palace to argue, Princess Yue heard the news and rushed directly to Qinfang Garden to meet Yide The eldest princess, but, not long after entering, she came out and returned to the palace. There was no movement in Qinfang Garden, and Princess Yue's expression was very ugly. According to the news from the people in the mansion, Princess Yue sent a message after returning. It was a big fire."

Tu Mastiff thought carefully for a moment, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: If things are really as he expected, then Beijiang's opportunity will come!
