Marriage Under the Heavens - Chapter 177

“Lian’er, how is the case going?” Qin Jiu personally poured a cup of tea in front of the durian.

Durian drank tea unintentionally, frowning and said: “The case is going well. The imperial call and sacred seal on the imperial decree forged by Su Qing have been found to be stolen by Concubine Xian. Su Qing first presented it to His Majesty. The letter proving the rebellion of the Bai family is indeed false. During your majesty’s serious illness, Zhang Tinghai said that your majesty was poisoned and used Lathyrus odoratus to fight and detoxify. It has been ascertained that the aloe soup drunk by your majesty during that time has already been It is true that Zhang Tinghai has fabricated the detoxification and the use of poison to fight the poison. Therefore, your Majesty’s serious illness is not because of poisoning. Therefore, Situ Zhen’s grievance can be clear. Zhang Tinghai has been close to Concubine Xian in recent years, and he has admitted that it is. Concubine Xian instructed, but Concubine Xian’s person has not been found yet.”

Qin Jiu had already known that the matter could not be separated from Concubine Xian, when the matter was found out, she still sighed. It is said that people should not be in appearance. Such a gentle and virtuous person who seems to be indisputable in the world, but turned out to be such a person.

Concubine Xian has disappeared since the Mid-Autumn Festival stole the gold medal of Emperor Qing. Perhaps she originally planned to show up after Yan Su’s success in the palace. Now that Yan Su forced the palace to fail, she will naturally not appear again. These days, Qin Jiu also sent the Suyi Bureau to search secretly, but found nothing. Qin Jiu believes that the last possible hiding place for Concubine Xian should be Cangwu Mountain, where she has practiced for many years and is familiar with the topography of the mountain. Maybe she has arranged a hiding place long ago. It is not easy to find someone on a mountain. .

Qin Jiu frowned and knocked on the tabletop, and said in thought: “The matter of Concubine Xian, don’t worry, she won’t disappear, she will appear sooner or later. How is Su Wanxiang?”

Speaking of Su Wanxiang, Durian frowned and said: “Although she did not visit the Anling King, she heard that she was pregnant with the Anling Prince heir, and she is considered to be the Anling King’s wife. I became a slave to Ye Ting and I heard that the child was gone because of her excessive grief.”

Qin Jiu was startled when he heard the words, lowered his eyelids, and his eyelashes trembled like frightened butterfly wings. There was an unspeakable feeling in her heart. The child in Su Wanxiang’s belly was gone. By the way, she was the culprit who killed the child. If Yan Su didn’t go to the palace, then Su Wanxiang would not be overly sad. The child will not be gone.

Although it was only a child who had not yet been born, it was still a life. Her hands were contaminated with human life after all!

“On the day of your wedding, the weapon in the dowry and the dragon robe found in the mansion were not made by Su Qing and Fei Xian. I suspect that Tianchen Sect was involved in this matter.” Durian Jing Jing said.

Qin Jiu was not surprised by this speculation about durian. If Tianchenzong hadn’t interfered with the Bai family back then, she would never believe it. She just didn’t know how Tianchenzong and Concubine Xian cooperated to deal with their Bai family, and who was that Tianchenzong hidden in Lijing.

“Have you ever interrogated Concubine Hui?” Qin Jiu asked with eyebrows. Concubine Hui has been in Lijing for many years, and if Tianchenzong also intervened in the case of the Bai family, it should start with Concubine Hui.

“Because of Tianchenzong’s rebellion, Concubine Hui has been sent to the cold palace and has not been arraigned.”

Qin Jiu frowned, with an ominous premonition in his heart. In the cold palace, I am afraid it is not safe. Although Tianchen Zongmou was defeated, Qin Jiu believed that in the deep palace, there must be people with Lian Yuren. Tianchen Sect has infiltrated the court for many years, and it is definitely not so easy to remove.

“Lian’er, you immediately go into the palace to see the sage and ask Concubine Hui to be arraigned as soon as possible. This matter must not be delayed.” Qin Jiufeng narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

After hearing this, Durian said nervously: “I just met your Majesty from the palace before I came here. He has allowed me to go to Lenggong to interrogate Concubine Hui tomorrow.”

Qin Jiu nodded, “You have done a good job, and you must go to the trial as soon as possible tomorrow to avoid accidents.”

“I know, I will go to the trial tomorrow morning.” Durian said, bowing her head, “Xuan…Sister, although the case has not been completed yet, the grievances of the Bai family and the Situ family are almost clear. I want to go. Outside the city, pay tribute to them in a fair way.” The last time Durian went out of the city without permission, he was arrested in a chaotic grave, so this time he came here specially and wanted to go with Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu put down the tea cup in his hand, only to see the tears of hope in the durian eyes, and he couldn’t bear it. She sighed lowly, “It’s okay, you go out and ask someone to arrange a carriage, and we will go together.”

After the durian went out, Qin Jiu called the loquat in, and told him to pass the letter to the palace’s Cai Zhifeng, asking her to arrange manpower to pay attention to Su Wanxiang’s movements and pay attention to Concubine Hui. At least until Durian arraigned Concubine Hui, she could not have an accident.

With proper arrangements, Qin Jiu and Durian rode out of the city in a horse-drawn carriage. After driving for half an hour, they arrived at the graveyard in the western suburbs of Lijing. The two got out of the carriage, walked into the woods, and stopped in front of graves smaller than the hills.

The sky is densely covered with thick clouds, as if raindrops would fall at any time.

The two knelt in front of the grave and poured a pot of spirits on the ground.

Durian cried silently in front of the grave. Perhaps, this is the first time in so long that he can cry loudly. Huang Mao sniffed the smell of wine in the air, then looked at the durian, thinking it was spilling the wine on the ground and crying. It flew to the shoulder of the durian and said: “If you spill it, buy it again!”

In the sky, fine raindrops fell sporadically, and I don’t know whether it was rain or the tears from the heavens, falling on Qin Jiu’s eyelashes, making her eyes wet. She glanced over the graves slowly, and said in her heart: “Aunt, father, mother, brother Wei, I have done most of my business.”

Qin Jiu helped the durian kneeling on the ground and said in a low voice: “Yi’er, don’t be too sad, their spirits in the sky can rest in peace!” She took out the Jinpa and wiped the tears from the corners of the durian’s eyes, turning the corners of her eyes behind her back. After a glance, I saw a carriage parked in the sky and grass, and someone came out of the carriage. Qin Jiu patted him on the shoulder, “Someone is here, if people know that you come to pay memorial service, maybe it will cause unnecessary trouble.”

Knowing what the trouble Qin Jiu was talking about, Durian straightened up hurriedly, turning his sadness into indifference. Loquat quietly walked behind Qin Jiu and whispered: “Princess Zhaoping is here to worship.”

Qin Jiu sighed slightly, winking at the durian. Durian walked out of the grave without expression.

Qin Jiu stood silently in front of the grave, with light footsteps behind him, walking slowly on the withered leaves. She didn’t look back, the sound of footsteps finally came close, and past her, a plain figure bowed down in front of the grave.

The misty autumn rain floated silently, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

Zhaoping walked to the grave with a bunch of chrysanthemums in her hand. She placed the chrysanthemums in front of the grave, spilled a pot of sake, and knelt on the ground for a few prayers, with a sad expression on her face. After the worship, she looked back and walked towards Qin Jiu.

This is the first time Zhaoping saw Qin Jiu who was dressed in plain clothes and didn’t use Fendai. If it was the red tear mole in the corner of her eye and the upturned corner of her eye, she could not see a trace of beauty from her body.

Qin Jiu at this time was beautiful and beautiful.

If she had dressed up like this a long time ago, maybe she would have recognized her long ago!

Zhaoping felt sour in his heart, stepped forward to hug Qin Jiu, and whispered: “Susu.”

Facing his former best friend, Qin Jiu smiled slightly. In fact, as early as that night when playing the piano, she knew that Zhaoping couldn’t help it.

“You’re so cruel.” Zhaoping stretched out his fist and beat Qin Jiu on the shoulder, and cried with a whimper. He kept telling Qin Jiu that it was wrong, “You have kept me so bitter. When I came back, I didn’t look for me, but I wanted to hide it from me. There are some things that I can help you. You did so much by yourself, do you want to die? In the palace that day, I saw You embroidered flowers, you should have recognized you, but now that I think about it, I am really dizzy. Susu, why didn’t you tell me, why didn’t you tell me!?”

Qin Jiu patted Zhaoping on the back and said in a low voice, “Okay, don’t cry.”

Zhaoping wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and stared at Qin Jiu, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Qin Jiu stroked the corners of Fu Zhaoping’s clothes and smiled lightly: “If I told you, I’m afraid even this rat in Lijingcheng will know about it the next day.”

Zhaoping was taken aback, frowning and shouting: “You, you, how many years have passed since you still can’t change the habit of teasing me, do I have such a big mouth?”

Qin Jiu lazily smiled and raised his hand and said, “I was wrong, okay?”

Zhaoping then replied, “I know that you don’t want to reveal your identity now, and I won’t say it. I am here today, but there is actually one more thing I want to ask you. Please go and see the second brother in the jail! He is…very bad now!” Zhaoping’s eyes were filled with sorrow.

Qin Jiu’s eyes dimmed, and he was silent for a long while.

Between them, there is nothing to say.

It’s actually pretty good to end this way, so why bother to meet again in grief. What’s more, the child in Su Wanxiang’s belly was gone because of her indirectly. What would she say when she saw it?

“Zhaoping, your second brother and I, that’s it. It’s better not to see each other than to see each other. Don’t worry about this matter.” Qin Jiu said indifferently. She didn’t want to see him or provoke those orders. The melancholy old thing. Princess Zhaoping said anxiously: “That’s what it means? Don’t you know? The things back then were done by Concubine Xian and Su Qing. The second brother didn’t know, and he was innocent. Now, he is like this. Now, you should forgive him, what about seeing him in jail?”

Qin Jiu sighed softly, “Zhaoping, it is better not to meet your second brother now. And you, speaking of it, should you go to see Xie Dichen?”
