Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 120

The old princess was taken aback, and she felt so nervous that she almost jumped out: “Arsenic! Is this someone trying to poison him?”

Princess Qing hesitated and said: “The things that the prince ate yesterday have been checked one by one, and there is no problem. I even ordered all the people in the kitchen to interrogate it. I don’t expect it to be a dietary problem.”

“Arsenic generally has to be taken by mouth in order to be effective. Please think about what else you have forgotten.” The old doctor reminded.

Everyone looked at Princess Qing, but she was stunned for a while. King Qing didn’t usually come to her yard, but everyone stared at her when something happened. This is the responsibility that the wife needs to bear. She was hesitating, but when she heard Mu Yu, she turned her head. Look at her: “What’s wrong?”

Mu Yu looked worried, but his eyes fell on the basket of persimmons at the table.

Princess Qing followed her gaze, but suddenly remembered something, her face changed immediately, and she walked quickly to the table and picked up a persimmon cake: “Doctor, come and see.”

The old doctor went up immediately, took the silver needle and inserted it into the persimmon. After a while, the silver needle was still sharp and unaffected. He frowned and said, “Persimmons are non-toxic.”

Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes fell on the white powder on the surface of the persimmon. She said lightly: “Doctor, might as well try this powder.”

The doctor nodded when he heard the words, scraped a little powder off gently, poured it into the palm of his hand and checked it for a long time, even put it in his mouth and tasted it. When he raised his head again, his complexion was a little pale: “The hoarfrost is mixed with arsenic, so I can’t measure it. Little, if the prince eats more, I’m afraid he will die.”

Princess Qing seemed to be taken aback, and suddenly sat on the chair, her face turned pale: “How could it—”

The old princess’s face sank and she shouted and asked: “Wang, what is going on?”

“This… The prince made preparations for the New Year’s Day yesterday in order to take care of me. He specially came to sit for half an hour. He has always liked persimmon cakes. You know, mother. Of course I tasted one when I saw this thing, because it is a cold thing. , I don’t dare to let him eat more, only one—”

“Fortunately, there is only one. If you eat two more, I am afraid that the prince will be dead.” The old doctor said with lingering fear.

“Where did this persimmon come from?” The old princess clenched the Buddha beads in her sleeves tightly with a look of wind and rain.

Princess Qing was stunned for a moment, hesitating to speak.

Zuo Xuan calmed down and stepped forward slowly, with a very calm tone: “Grandma, this persimmon cake was made by my mother, and I sent it to the princess to try it out.”

The old princess was so angry that she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Zuo Xuan. She immediately swelled half of her cheek, and the bright red five-fingerprints were on her eyes.

“Scourge, you came from a dignified scholar’s office, not to mention being knowledgeable, you should also understand the righteousness of filial piety, and dare to poison the gift you gave to the princess?! Are you trying to poison the princess, or do you want to poison the princess, what you wrote? !” The old princess almost shattered a silver tooth and said, holding back the monstrous anger.

Zuo Xuan fell to her knees with a plop, tears falling down, and she was extremely aggrieved: “Grandma, since Xuan’er entered the palace, she didn’t dare to disobey her parents at all, let alone be disrespectful. Out of filial piety, you must not dare to poison me! Grandmother, you watched Xuan’er enter the door. You know my temperament best, but I have such a vicious mind! Besides, the poisoned princess treats me again What good is it? Everyone knows that I sent this dried persimmon. I couldn’t get rid of this sin by jumping into the moat. Why bother?”

The old princess snorted coldly, and pointed to He Liansheng, who was pale on the side, and said: “Benefit? Your husband, this unfaithful and unfilial thing has caused trouble, but you are here to avenge him!” She was angry, and couldn’t bear it. , Lifting the leading cane next to him was about to hit Zuo Xuan’s head.

He held it high, not pretentious, but wanted to kill Zuo Xuan on the spot. Zuo Xuan didn’t expect the other party to be so gaffe, so scared that he covered his face with his sleeve. However, when the crutches were raised in the air, they were suddenly held up by Jiang Xiaolou, and she couldn’t give birth. The old princess rushed to the top of her head, almost faintly visible the blue veins violently: “Jiang Xiaolou, this is my palace housework, you are the one People with foreign surnames, it’s not your turn to interfere!

Jiang Xiaolou was not angry at the old princess’s unbridled words. She just looked at the other side with determination and calmly persuaded: “Old princess, since I am the princess’s righteous daughter, of course I am not an outsider. I will start from the beginning. Seeing now, there is a sentence that is not spit out or not. No matter what, please listen to me.”

“Say!” The old princess said coldly. Now that everything is clear, what else can Jiang Xiaolou say?

Jiang Xiaolou’s face was gentle, and his voice was extremely tactful: “Everyone understands your love for the prince. You can set your heart to think about it. Zuo Xuan is clearly wronged. Would you rather see the real Is the murderer at large?”

A trace of complicated doubts appeared on the face of the old princess, and she sternly said: “I am wronged, who can wrong her?

Jiang Xiaolou glanced at Zuo Xuan with tears, but his tone was extremely flat: “The prince ate persimmon cakes at his mother’s place, and his mother will never murder his father. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance, the murderer. Originally, the purpose of Wang Ye was not in the prince, but in the mother, the prince was just suffering for his mother. From this point of view, Zuo Xuan is indeed the most suspicious. After all, she personally sent the persimmon to her mother’s room, and she also asked the princess diligently and filially. Cold things are not to eat much. The poisoner personally delivered the poison to the door, and in front of the master’s servants, he was a big fan, for fear that others would not know the appearance, where is such a stupid person in the world! Old princess, many things are actually You can’t just look at the surface. You are the wisest. Who is behind the scenes? Naturally, we must investigate carefully. Who are the people you can contact from the persimmon to the palace—”

“Jiang Xiaolou, you are an insinuation, **** mouth!” He Liansheng raised his eyebrows, and finally blurted out.

Jiang Xiaolou smiled, his eyes seemed to be condensed with flames: “Second son, I’m just talking about the way to track down the black hands behind the scenes, why are you so excited?”

The old princess’s complexion swept across He Liansheng’s face, and He Liansheng only felt a sense of coldness rising from the soles of his feet and spreading to the limbs and limbs instantly: “Although you did not name, you can touch The people who came to the dried persimmons were nothing more than those in my yard. They clearly referred to the sang-huai, with ulterior motives!”

Seeing that the time had come, Zuo Xuan burst into tears, and his face became more aggrieved: “Grandma, since Xuan’er got married, her husband has been unhappy. Thanks to the princess for taking care of Xuan’er, I won’t be left with nowhere to rely on. The princess treats me sincerely, so how can I harm her in the other way? Xuan’er can swear to the sky that if the arsenic on the persimmons is mine, I would rather thunder and not die! As a wife, there are some things I couldn’t say it, but when things get to this point, I don’t have to say, do I have to be wronged alive! If you want to doubt, the first one should be suspicious of those princesses who hate you all day…”

The old princess stared at Zuo Xuan’s eyes and saw tears in those clear eyes. The hairpin between the black hair had fallen down, and a satin-like blue silk was draped messily on her shoulders, showing a pitiful appearance. In all fairness, Zuo Xuan was born in a bachelor’s office, and she is indeed knowledgeable and filial. When she first entered the door, she had a good temperament and a quick talk. Although sometimes her temper was a little straighter, there was nothing wrong with the big festival. On the contrary, He Liansheng’s original motive for marrying others was impure, and after returning from the marriage, he was bullied in every way, which made Zuo Xuan cold.

He Liansheng always blamed Zuo Xuan for being jealous in the past. It is only natural for a man to marry a concubine secretly, but it is a bit unreasonable to snub and send his wife, especially Zuo family is very helpful to him in his official career. Although the old princess has thoughts in her heart, she has been hard to say. After all, there is a King Qing poking there. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. He Liansheng learns well. She scolded He Liansheng as if she was beating her in the face. She prides herself that the palace is a place of rules, but everyone knows that the rules have long been broken by Mrs. Shun.

Yes, Zuo Xuan is a daughter-in-law who knows the rules, and murdering her aunt is a crime of thousands of dollars. She is so easy to handle a daughter of a bachelor’s house, how can she not even understand this? Besides, she has always had a good relationship with Princess Qing, but she has a very indifferent relationship with He Liansheng, so she can afford to fight for a husband who treats her without feelings… The expression of the old princess changed a lot, and the doubts in her eyes slowly turned towards He’s winning streak.

The most resentful princess in this mansion, but there is only one Anhua County King who has just been robbed of the title!

He Liansheng has been enduring the anger in his heart. At this moment, he saw Zuo Xuan colluding with Jiang Xiaolou, crying out loudly and secretly referring to her poisoning, and quickly stepped up and grabbed her long hair, and said sharply: “You I am a married couple. Although I neglect you a little bit on weekdays, it is only natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I just have two more maidservants, and I have never moved your position. As a wife, you don’t think about it. My husband is divided and worried, I only know that I am jealous all day long. This is because your Zuo family’s tutor is not good, and you failed to teach a virtuous woman! Now it is even more shameless to do things like eating inside and out. I would deal with you now. It’s better than it will make me celebrate the restlessness of the palace in the future!”

He Liansheng is by no means a fool. He quickly involved Zuo Xuan’s jealousy in a short moment. In this way, outsiders would think that all this might be Zuo Xuan’s fault, but he wronged his husband for jealousy. , A fish is dead, the net is broken, and two are scattered.

Now that the play has been on stage, no one should think about leaving. Jiang Xiaolou has already stated to Zuo Xuan the risk she is going to take. She has already made up her mind to make a big fuss. At this moment, she is pulled by her hair. She shouted more and more heartbreaking, the dowry mother of the Zuo family hurried up to cling to He Liansheng’s legs, and she couldn’t cry: “Uncle, my lady has never been sorry for you since she got married. You can’t send the dirty water to her. Splash it!”

The mother had already gotten Zuo Xuan’s instructions, she cried and slammed in secret, He Liansheng’s hand trembled, and the left leg was raised to a heart-wrenching foot. The mother yelled, fell on her back and fainted immediately. Zuo Xuan glanced at the opportunity and crawled at the feet of the old princess, just saying: “Kill, he wants to kill! Grandma save me!”

“Quickly, go and see if you’re angry!” Princess Qing was anxious and quickly ordered. Chaoyun quickly stepped up to check, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: “I’m holding my breath for a while!”

Only then did the old princess breathe out slowly. This mother is Zuo Xuan’s companion house, and the deed is held in the hands of Zuo’s family, not handed to the Qing Palace. The purpose is to have a helper for her daughter at a critical moment. Unexpectedly, she was almost kicked to death by He Liansheng. Her heart was angry and anxious, and she just comforted Zuo Xuan on the face: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, it’s just a moment–”

Zuo Xuan couldn’t make a sound, and she looked terribly frightened: “Grandma, this is not the first time. I once heard my husband told the concubine that I was not interesting, and another abnormal tumor grew. He was disgusted when he saw it. If my father and brother were not powerful enough, he had already thought of poisoning me so that I could marry another wishful one! I thought he was just saying that today, it seems that he set the game. Since that day was taken away Jue began, he cursed the prince and the princess day and night, and in his dreams he was saying that the prince had treated him badly! I did not listen to every persuasion, but blamed me for eating out! One accidentally beat and scolded me, and even killed me. !” After she said, she lifted her sleeves on her hands and saw traces of blue, red and purple, which looked shocking, “As long as my evidence is confirmed, he will not only need to divorce his wife, but he can just get rid of me, grandmother. , My life is so bitter, so bitter!”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at the side and said silently, “Poor Zuo Xuan, your knowledge is really short. You can not only get rid of you, but you can also get rid of the princess. It not only takes revenge on the mother, but also eliminates the deprivation. Title hate. Even if your Zuo family’s power is overwhelming, you can’t face to run to the door to avenge a daughter-in-law who wants to murder your aunt. It really kills three birds with one stone!”

When everyone heard it, they believed it was true for a while, and Princess Qing said with an irritation: “He Liansheng, you are simply lawless!”

The old princess was even more angry, flipped her hand and grabbed a porcelain bottle on the table, and threw it to He’s winning streak. He Liansheng dodged instinctively, and the colored glass bottle of foundation slammed on the ground, and it fell to pieces. The old princess sighed again and again: “Oh, you have a winning streak. How true is your father’s treatment of you. Three years ago, the first son of Liao Yuanhou was deprived of his title, and he was immediately kicked out of the house. Now you can still have a high bed with soft pillows and beautiful clothes and food. It’s not all because of your soft heart! How did you return to him, and you can handle your biological father, you are really, really – crazy!”

The old princess was also very angry, unable to breathe, the princess hurriedly came up to take her breath: “Mother calms down your anger, don’t break your body for this kind of evil animal!”

He Liansheng’s heart was shocked, and he completely ignored the broken tiles on the ground. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, bleeding from his forehead, almost staining the ground red. He only felt unparalleled injustice and hatred for Jiang Xiaolou and Zuo Xuan. The meaning is even more monstrous: “Grandma, grandson did make a mistake, but I am not a stupid person. Think about it, the whole family hates me so much. Only my father is willing to help me. If he has a case, I will never I can’t get a foothold in the palace. All of this is the combination of Jiang Xiaolou and Zuo Xuan, a **** who framed me. I was wronged!”

Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were full of bright light, but his voice was not lukewarm: “The second son is wrong. The persimmon cake is not for the prince, but for the princess. You are the only one in the whole government. “‘S amulet is good, but everyone knows that the princess has never liked you, and even asked the prince to expel you from the house. You are afraid that the prince will really have thoughts, and it will be strange if his mind is broken for a while.”

“Jiang Xiaolou, you are really vicious, you can think of such a framing method! Grandmother, you must not believe that these two **** are full of nonsense, they are…joining hands to harm me!” The face of the winning streak was blue and white, and his voice was trembling.

Princess Qing sighed lightly and said, “He wins streak, He wins streak, even your wife who is married has come forward to identify you, is there nothing wrong with you at all?”

“Mother, I just think this matter is too unreasonable, but I want to make it clear and let my grandmother know.” He Liansheng first tasted the feeling of being wronged, he only felt resentment in his heart, like a boiling water. The blood went straight to the top of the head.

The old princess just looked at him with a cold face. She didn’t believe that He’s winning streak would kill King Qing, but she believed that he wanted the princess’s life. The family became torn apart, the relatives they were familiar with became strange and terrible, what caused their ambitions to swell, what caused them to go completely crazy. She vaguely understood that the culprit of all this was the man who was lying in the hospital bed. The so-called Tsuna Chang was the rule of the ancestors. The concubine did not suppress his wife and the concubine could not win the concubine. This was a true truth. Everyone has their place, and everyone should do their part. As a concubine, she was supposed to respect her husband’s concubine and lived in peace, but Aunt Shun was full of conspiracy to usurp her, wishing to tear the princess off the stage. As a concubine, you should cherish your father’s love and have a good future for yourself so that you can also seal your wife’s shadow in the future. Prosperity and wealth, respect and consideration, Princess Qing should give a lot of children to the concubine, but why are they so insatiable. Yes, King Qing gave them hope that they shouldn’t have, and caused these children to become so selfish and crazy. Who is to blame?

The old princess slowly put down the crutches and sat down panting: “Injustice, injustice-come, put him in custody for the time being.

He Liansheng’s heart was startled, but he raised his head abruptly, with a grim expression: “Grandma, if you want to pull down for interrogation, Zuo Xuan is the first person to be interrogated. This **** is the real man behind the scenes!”

Zuo Xuan sneered, and suddenly stood up. The moment when the skirt was slightly raised, her voice became extremely cold: “You are my husband and my god. You have never been the only one who is sorry for me. I dare not be sorry for you at all! I can bear it very hard, I only want you to turn back the prodigal son, I’ve already suffered from tears and blood! But He’s winning streak, you are really deceiving people too much! Not to mention, since you keep saying that I poisoned, then I am today Save your life, and learn from those stubborn women to prove your innocence!” After she finished speaking, she slammed into the post on the left, and the maidservant’s mother beside her hurriedly tried to pull, but she was determined to move without any hesitation at all. For a moment, his forehead hit the pillar again, and his figure fell to the ground. This action was so sudden that everyone in the room was stunned. When Jiang Xiaolou rushed forward, she had fallen to the ground, her face covered with blood, and a large swath of blood poured out from the wound, instantly staining red. When he got on the ground, the old doctor who came up to check was frightened.

“Doctor, take a look at her!” Jiang Xiaolou tore open the hem of his skirt with his eyes open and quickly wrapped the wound on her forehead for her, turning back sharply.

The old doctor rushed over, looked at the wound in a panic, and even said: “Oh, oh, this lady is too staunch, this collision will break her head!”

Zuo Xuan’s eyes closed tightly, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, her complexion was pale, the blood on her forehead was flowing down her hair bun, and the smell of blood spread all over the room, and everyone was surrounded nervously.

“Hmph, you still have to put on airs when you reach this point. This is not proof of innocence at all. It is just committing suicide in fear of sin. Grandma, you must not be coerced by her!” He Liansheng suppressed his heart and turned to the old princess.

“He Liansheng, you pat your conscience and ask yourself that it is your wife who is lying here. Since she got married, she has been a little bit sorry for you. Why do you treat her like this? Could it be that your heart is Iron-fighting?! First you killed your aunt, and hurt your father for no reason. Now you have to kill your wife. You are really unfaithful and unrighteous. What books you have read over the years is not even a human being! Mother, If you forgive people like him again, I won’t be able to stay in the palace anymore!” Princess Qing’s face was pale, and every word was annoyed.

“Grandma, my second brother will never do such a mourning thing, please tell me!” Helianxiao has been silent by the side, and has to come out to intercede at the critical moment. Of course, she didn’t care whether He Liansheng was poisoned or not, she was afraid that her lips would die and her teeth would be cold.

“Yes, grandmother, my second brother has been the best in school since he was a child, and he has a kind heart. Even if he had a wrong idea in the past, he has sincerely corrected his mistakes. Isn’t anyone who made a mistake worthy of forgiveness? Once something goes wrong, everyone will doubt it. On him? Grandmother, you are the wisest, how can you listen to it in a few words–” Jiang Xiaoyun was also softly comforting.

“In a few words? There is a fainted person in front of you. Can the princess of the county say such things? Really, things have never happened to him, and you don’t feel pain when you stand and talk. You are both daughters-in-law of the Helian family. You know each other. There is no sympathy for the difficulty, but I still need to help He Liansheng pour the dirty water? Jiang is Gaoge Qihu, is the Zuo family the Pengmen Xiaojia? The old princess, now Zuo Xuan is injured like this, Zuo Jia has trouble Come here, I’m afraid it’s out of control–” Jiang Xiaolou swept across the waves gently, and said lukewarm.

“Jiang Xiaolou, you–”

The old princess only feels a splitting headache. He has a straight face of grievance here, and a dying grandson and daughter-in-law are lying there. Everyone is filled with righteous indignation… I don’t know who is right and who is wrong, and I just feel confused in my mind, and categorically shouted: “Shut up, shut up all!”

All of them were silent for a while, all of them staring at the old princess with wide-eyed eyes, only to hear her say: “Send people for treatment first, and wait for the prince to wake up before the trial. If there is a little bit of wind, all of you Don’t live!”

This is extremely heavy, everyone is in danger for a while, and the whole house is silent.

After moving into the yard where Jiang Xiaolou lived, Zuo Xuan got up from the bed, described as haggard and bloodstained, but with a weird grin: “You have a good idea. This time he is right and necessary! ”

Jiang Xiaolou stretched out her slender finger and lightly poked her forehead. Zuo Xuan let out a cry of pain, “You are going to die, this is really bloody, and your girl is heartbroken!”

“I just let you behave. Who made you really hit your head with a bang. I was shocked by a bang. I thought you really wanted to die–” Jiang Xiaolou slowly spat out. He could not help but blame.

“How can you coax everyone who is not lifelike to believe it, did you see…everyone believed me!” Zuo Xuan raised her mouth proudly, only feeling the grievance in her heart slowly expressing, two words, joy!

“You two dead girls, you really scared my heartbeat!” A voice suddenly sounded, Zuo Xuan almost rolled off the bed in fright, Jiang Xiaolou hurriedly supported her, and then saw a smile on her face. Princess Qing came in. Zuo Xuan’s heart fell back to where she was, and she couldn’t help but patted her own heart and said, “Wang Hao, you come in silently, which scares people.”

Princess Qing couldn’t help but shook her head: “This idea is really risky. Use your reputation and life to gamble, you two can think of it!”

Zuo Xuan was taken aback, now calm down, and her expression restored to her former calm, faintly said: “If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you will get a tiger. Neither the princes nor the princesses have hatred, and winning streak with He is intolerable. You won’t believe me to poison you…”

Jiang Xiaolou had already instructed Chu Han to change the persimmons. The persimmons that King Qing ate did contain arsenic, but the amount was very small, but it made people vomit and diarrhea for a few days, and they would never die. One used this incident to deal with He’s winning streak, and the other… taught King Qing, let him eat the evil consequences, and taste what it means to be heartbroken, life is better than death.

Jiang Xiaolou said: “It’s not a big success now, we should do another thing.”

Zuo Xuan was surprised: “What do you do?”

Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were filled with a faint smile: “Of course it is to take good care of the prince. I hope he wakes up soon so that the second half of the trick will be finished.”

King Qing regained consciousness three days later, but he still vomited and diarrhea, his legs became weak, and he could only lie on the bed, crying and crying all day long, staying beside him and sighing. King Qing heard that He Liansheng was the poisoner, and was stunned for a long time without speaking: “This…how is this possible? Where is the evidence?”

Pian Pian wiped her tears with her kerchief, and she looked sad: “Master, do you still think of the rebellious son at this point? In addition to the testimony of the second young man, there is also a guard next to the second young man. He saw the second young man with his own eyes. Poisoned in the persimmon cake, the guards found the paper wrapped in arsenic in the discarded pen holder, which was supposed to be shipped out quietly and thrown away. The yellow paper had already been torn into strips…Even his favorite concubine. Said that he often cursed you and the princess in his dreams…”

King Qing’s face turned pale, and the muscles under his eyes were trembling faintly.

When Princess Qing saw this, she just softly persuaded: “Master, things are over, don’t think about it anymore.

King Qing only felt a breath of poisonous gas slowly linger and envelop his heart. The only trust and expectation left in his heart gradually decayed, and finally there was not even a bit left: “I can’t believe that Sheng’er would actually make Something like this.”

Princess Qing sighed: “I would rather believe that the person he was going to kill was me, and the prince was just eating persimmon by accident.”

King Qing let out a sigh of relief: “What’s the difference between killing me or killing you? This person’s heart of resentment is not dead, and he will never know his fault. If this is the case, the family will be unfortunate!”

Concubine Qing looked at it, only to feel that King Qing’s face was getting grayer and dejected, and her expression was extremely depressed. She couldn’t help but smiled coldly, but her face was extremely sorry: “Master, He Liansheng has been taken care of, you want to see him ?”

King Qing suppressed the suppressed emotions in his heart, and said solemnly, “Let people bring him up.”

He Liansheng entered the house with an extremely sincere expression. He was full of grievances and anger came to the extreme. He knelt on the ground with a thump, and stubbornly held King Qing’s clothes: “Father, the son can swear to heaven, that poison is indeed I didn’t do it—”

King Qing just looked at him silently, unable to see any emotion in his eyes.

He Liansheng was panicked, and suddenly a kind of fear arose: “Father, the guard has been bought by Jiang Xiaolou and Zuo Xuan, he is deliberately wronging me!”

“Your wife has wronged you, your guard has wronged you, and even your favorite concubine has wronged you-you really have been wronged.” King Qing sighed leisurely, staring at He Liansheng in a blank stare, not knowing his heart. What are you thinking.

He Liansheng knocked his head heavily on the ground, knocked down ten times in succession, and the sound resounded through the whole room. King Qing just looked at him blankly, without any movement. If a person is extremely disappointed, he will not feel sad or angry at all. However, He Liansheng just raised his head, his forehead was blue, and tears burst into his eyes: “Father, my son was really wronged this time. There is absolutely no lie. I blame myself for not investigating the existence of such a treacherous villain around me. Feishu gave the eldest brother, he has a letter, begging father to read the letter and say it again!”

Princess Qing’s complexion changed slightly, and He Liansheng really took out a letter and handed it to King Qing.

King Qing unfolded the envelope and read two lines, but slowly put down the letterhead, and sighed: “Your eldest brother is working hard and loyal to the country, but you are here to behave and do stupid things. He begs me to see his For sake of it, spare you.”

He Liansheng looked at King Qing with shocking bruises on his forehead, and tears in his eyes: “Father! I am your biological son. I did a lot of wrong things in the past, but this time I really didn’t poison. Just beg you to believe me in the face of Big Brother-OK?”

King Qing glanced at him, his expression was extremely complicated, and Concubine Qing’s heart instantly picked up.

In a dead silence, King Qing finally uttered a few words slowly: “Okay, I believe you.”

Hearing what King Qing said, He Liansheng couldn’t help but secretly rejoice that the letter came in time. He immediately said, “Thank you for your father’s trust, and your son will not fail you!”

King Qing squeezed the letter paper in his hand. He Lianyun, the king of Jinling County, was his eldest son. Since he was a child, he has been a master of martial arts. After he was on the battlefield, he was brave and courageous. , Is the greatest pride of his life. The eldest son is not only stable in temperament, but also celebrates the countless honors earned by the palace. If one day, the crime of killing his father by his younger brother is passed on, how would the emperor think of him, how would the civil and military officials think of him, and his brilliant life will definitely remain The next stain is indelible. Even if He Liansheng deserves to die, he can’t ruin He Lianyun’s life because of him… Therefore, even if his heart is so angry that he is about to spew a mouthful of blood, he must hold it back forcibly and endure it to death!

In the joy and rejoicing of He’s winning streak, King Qing suddenly said: “In another half a month, the envoys from Vietnam and the West will come to us to conclude a peace treaty with us. Then I will serve as a representative to receive these envoys. Western Customs, please join us. Remember, this is the last chance I will give you. Don’t mess it up.”

He Liansheng’s heart jumped, and he smiled uncontrollably: “Yes, father.” When he got up, he looked at Princess Qing casually, his lips slightly raised, and he couldn’t hide his mockery. Princess Qing stared at him coldly, without moving her face.

When he retired, King Qing let out a long sigh, which seemed to let out the frustration in his heart, but afterwards he felt that his heart became more depressed.

Princess Qing sighed secretly, still looking disappointed when she returned to her yard. When Chaoyun came to serve tea, her hand squeezed the tea cup vigorously, as if she couldn’t wait to crush the celadon, so tight that the back of her hand burst into light blue veins. Chao Yun’s heart was taken aback, and Princess Qing’s disappointment and anger were beyond words, but after all they were suppressed, and he sighed: “Go, invite Xiaolou.”

As soon as Jiang Xiaolou stepped in, he heard Princess Qing’s voice deep.

“Xiaolou, we failed.”

Concubine Qing’s voice was obviously full of frustration and annoyance, which seemed especially grief and indignation.

Jiang Xiaolou’s expression was calm and unwavering. He just smiled and asked, “Why did my mother say this?”

Princess Qing recounted what happened today and said: “The concubine of He Liansheng and the guard have fornication, we have so easy to use it to fight each other, who knows that the devil is one foot high, the road is high, and he is never expected. When did you get the news with the king of Jinling County? Among the children, the prince really valued the eldest son. He was indeed very competitive. He was both civil and military, brave and good at fighting. The prince always said that this son is most like him. When I was young, my tone was so proud… It can be seen that the love was deep in my heart. So this letter… can be regarded as ruining our efforts for so long. For He Lianyun’s sake, he not only spared He Lianyun, but also Let him go to meet the mission. He has no fame or title. To welcome the mission to get him, he is just standing behind the prince to make up for his mistakes, so as to win a favor in front of the emperor.”

Jiang Xiaolou listened carefully, but there was no disappointment on his face. Instead, there was a full smile on his lips: “Mothers don’t have to be impatient. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The princes have loved He’s winning streak in the past. I hate him so much. If we don’t believe it, we can wait and see if the prince really forgave him…”

Princess Qing looked at Jiang Xiaolou. At this moment, the sun was going to set, and the dusk was like a gauze. There was still time to light candles in the room. Only the faint sunset fell on Jiang Xiaolou, which was so gorgeous as to cast a golden shadow. Only the slight and gentle smile on her lips, with an extraordinary softness.

Half a month later, the emperor of Yuexi sent a special envoy to visit. This envoy was named Lei Guaner, and he was Zheng Hong, a famous courtier in Yuexi. Zheng Hong is famous not because of how outstanding he is as an official, but because he likes to drink very much. Whether it is winter or summer, whether it is a game or a mission, he will drink. If it’s just alcoholism, it’s not an uncommon phenomenon. It’s peculiar that even after drinking three days and three nights of spirits, he looks more and more vigorous and agile when he looks back, and he does things vigorously and swiftly and never misses things.

As the representative of Da Zhou, King Qing received the other party, and at the same time brought He Liansheng as an entourage. The news spread in the capital, and for a while it attracted a lot of discussion. They didn’t expect that He Liansheng was forgiven by King Qing so quickly and was taken to participate in such important activities. When the news came, Zuo Xuan, who was still recovering, couldn’t help but gritted her teeth and said: “It’s a waste of thought!”

Jiang Xiaolou pushed the medicine cup in front of her, smiling warmly: “Drink your medicine, this matter…you don’t have to worry about it.”

Zuo Xuan was holding the black medicine cup, her face filled with confusion: “What do you mean by this?”

Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “If the prince punishes him heavily this time, I will believe that the prince still has hope for him. But this time he didn’t even say a single important thing. If you think about it carefully, this is a real forgiveness. Did He win in a row?”

Love is deep and responsible. Only when you are extremely disappointed with a person will you not even bother to criticize him. Such simple principles are difficult to understand by ordinary people.

“Then why does he want He Liansheng to participate in such an important event? Isn’t this giving him a chance to make meritorious service?” Zuo Xuan asked almost stubbornly.

The white smoke in the jade flower-shaped new incense burner curled up and filled the room, but it could not hide the strong medicinal smell. Zuo Xuan only felt bitter in her mouth, and her heart throbbed. She was about to ask for an answer.

At this moment, the big raindrops outside the window have fallen, and they hurriedly hit the window paper. The sound of thunder, wind, and rain outside were intertwined for a while, and the pouring rain was coming fiercely. The dim candlelight was reflected on the surface of Jiang Xiaolou, like light and shadow. It shook with the whirring wind, and cast a shallow shadow on her white jade face.

“Don’t be impatient, you will understand.”

As soon as she finished her voice, Xiaodie walked in quickly, perhaps soaked in rain, embroidering shoes along the way, unexpectedly brought a slight rustling sound. Xiaodie said to the two of them: “Miss, something big happened outside.”

Jiang Xiaolou faintly said, “What’s the matter?”

Xiaodie’s face seemed to have three points in disbelief: “It’s the second son! Zheng Hong said that he would open a commercial port after drinking the altar, and the prince ordered everyone to accompany him to drink. Who knew he was drinking fast, fierce and fierce. Lie, no one can match him. The prince insisted on letting the second son who has always been good wine, and the second son and Zheng Hong drank. After drinking a full thirty-eight jars of spirits, Zheng Hong still talked and laughed, but the second son insisted. He couldn’t help but snored with the case. The prince said that he had drunk too much wine, so he ordered someone to help him back. Who knew that the sedan curtain had just opened, only to find that he-found that he was already… Died!”

Zuo Xuan’s medicine cup rolled to the ground and lost her voice: “What did you say?”

“Second Young Master… The Second Young Master was filled with wine alive!” Xiaodie’s voice still contained a hint of shock that could not be concealed.

Hearing this, Zuo Xuan suddenly turned to look at Jiang Xiaolou, but Jiang Xiaolou said lightly: “Now…you are completely free.”

“You mean to say–”

Jiang Xiaolou approached Zuo Xuan slowly, and her soft voice was like a gentle breeze blowing in her ears: “Zuo Xuan, dedicated to the country, and died on his favorite wine, in order to let him die well, Lord But it took a lot of thought. Do you think he was poisoned alive by alcohol, or he was poisoned and died of intestinal puncture…”

“You–” Zuo Xuan’s eyes slowly filled with horror, her pupils shrank instantly, and she couldn’t believe what Jiang Xiaolou said.

A flash of lightning flashed outside the window, piercing the window paper and illuminating the whole room as bright as day. Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were clearly filled with waves and a smile was like water. For a moment, Zuo Xuan felt a chill all over his body.

It was King Qing. It was King Qing who really killed He Liansheng. He killed his own son, God!

Jiang Xiaolou was able to succeed because she was well versed in the way of separation. The human heart in her hands is nothing but clay that can be squeezed and squeezed. As long as the other party accidentally leaks her mind, she can squeeze it into herself The shape you want. He Liansheng thought he could escape by relying on He Lianyun’s letter paper, but he didn’t know that it was the letter that sent him to death. If a tree is infected, the best way is to cut off the dead branches to prevent the disease from spreading to the whole body. Born in the royal family, King Qing understood this truth better than anyone else. He Liansheng thought he had escaped from the dead, but he didn’t know that his father, who loved him most in the past, had paved his way to hell. From beginning to end, Jiang Xiaolou didn’t move his finger, but destroyed all his father’s love that could have sheltered him from wind and rain. It can be seen that people are usually not perished by what they hate, but are completely destroyed by their love. Today you are proud of everything that you think is invincible, and it is very likely that it will disappear without a trace in one day. He Liansheng always thought that he was a chess player and liked playing tricks the most, but he was killed by his own chess. How ridiculous!
