【Chapter 180, Beacon 28】
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou brought Qi Fenghua back to Jiangzhou Fuya, while Ye Qi and Liu Qiao continued to track down the second prince.
Jiangzhou was right at the junction of Qi and Zhao. The Second Prince and the envoys rode fast at night and quickly reached the border between the two countries. There was a group of people from Zhao to meet the Second Prince, Ye Qi immediately reported what he had seen to Xiao Lou: "The second prince has returned to the country of Zhao, and there are a group of people to meet him. Do I and Liu Qiao continue to follow?"
Xiao Lou thought for a while, and said: "You come back first, the time for the invisibility cloak is about to come. If you are discovered, you two will be caught by the people of Zhao country, it will be a bad thing."
Ye Qi and Liu Qiao returned immediately obediently.
Yu Hanjiang interrogated Qi Fenghua overnight.
The young master was arrogant and still calm after being captured.
Yu Hanjiang said coldly: "Young Master, what do you want to do when you return to the palace pretending to be a guard on the fifteenth of this month, on the day of the prince's birthday banquet?"
Qi Fenghua said coldly: "You have admitted the wrong person, I am not a big young master, I am just a hunter on the mountain."
Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and stared sharply into his eyes: "You were in the backyard of the palace, and you happened to meet the eldest lady Qi Yiyao. She recognized you and asked why you came back. You were worried that things would be revealed, so you were cruel to give your sister to him. She was poisoned to death, and her body was hidden. When there was no one in the backyard late at night, she was hung from a tree with white silk, disguised as a suicide illusion, right?"
Qi Fenghua had a solemn face and refused to reply.
Yu Hanjiang continued: "Lin Shaobo went back to the backyard of the palace, and wanted to ask the eldest lady to explain it, but it happened to see you hanging her on the tree. Lin Shaobo ran away in a hurry, and you immediately flew behind him and pinched hard. He, in the struggle, he tore off a piece of fabric from your sleeve, you pushed him into the pond, and then left the palace, right?"
Qi Fenghua's face was even more ugly, and he couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Master Yu can really make up stories. I don't know what you are talking about. All you are talking about are just your guesses. Is there any evidence? "
Yu Hanjiang said lightly: "The sky net is magnificent, sparse and not leaking. The eldest master really thinks that the game he made is seamless and has not left any clues?"
Qi Fenghua was taken aback, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was wondering if he ever left any physical evidence.
Yu Hanjiang did not continue the interrogation and detained Qi Fenghua in secret in the backyard of the prefect.
When he returned to the study, Xiao Lou was waiting anxiously. When he saw Yu Hanjiang's expression, he knew that the result of the interrogation was not ideal. He stepped forward and asked with concern: "Is Qi Fenghua not willing to recruit?"
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "He wouldn't say anything. But the evidence for his involvement in the rebellion is now conclusive. Ye Qi and Liu Qiao witnessed that he was in contact with the second prince of Zhao Guo, and agreed with the second prince to'share this prosperous river and mountains'. , The evidence is readily available. Material evidence, we found this medicine bottle from him. Following the clue of the medicine bottle, we may be able to unearth deeper secrets."
A deeper secret
Xiao Lou reacted immediately: "You mean, my father cracked a serial poisonous murder case?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded; "I remember my wife once said that your father found out the powder used by the murderer in the poisonous murder case in Beijing?"
"That's right. At that time, several people in the capital suddenly committed suicide. The government almost concluded the case with'suicide.' As a result, after careful autopsy and investigation of the scene, my father found that there was residual powder in their diet. After experimenting with animals, he determined this It is a colorless and tasteless poison mixed with food, which is classified as a murder case.” Xiao Lou thought for a while, and then said, “Later, the Criminal Department investigated and identified the criminals as masters of drug production. Unfortunately, During the arrest, the main criminal escaped and only two accomplices were caught. After the two were taken to the prison, they committed suicide in fear of crime that night, and nothing came out of the trial."
"Fear of committing suicide, or being killed by someone?" Yu Hanjiang asked suddenly.
"This..." Xiao Lou was slightly startled, not quite sure in his heart, but after thinking about it, he also felt that things were not simple, "Could it be that those two accomplices knew some secrets before they were silenced?"
"It is very likely to be the case." Yu Hanjiang said, "The prison is strictly guarded. It is difficult for prisoners to commit suicide in the prison. They will also search their bodies before entering the prison, and the possibility of hiding drugs in their bodies is almost zero. Suicide by fear of crime. It’s just superficial. In fact, the Criminal Ministry may also have spies, and the two men were killed the night they caught the criminal."
"This makes sense. When my father and the others arrested the criminals, why did they let the main criminal escape? Maybe it was someone from the Criminal Department who informed him!" Xiao Lou only felt that his heart suddenly became clear. The case that my father participated in was not simple. The main criminal ran away, and the two accomplices committed suicide in fear of crimes as soon as they were imprisoned in the criminal department. They eventually became an unsettled case, and even the father suffered a murderous attack!
"What is the connection between the dead in the capital back then?" Yu Hanjiang put his thumb against his chin, thoughtfully. After a while, he suddenly asked: "What year did your father investigate this case?"
"It seems to be thirteen years ago." Xiao Lou recalled for a moment and said with certainty, "I followed my mother for 13 years."
"Thirteen years ago?" Yu Hanjiang carefully searched for what happened this year in his memory. When he was a child, he served as a companion to His Royal Highness for a period of time. If you think about it carefully, it was exactly thirteen years ago!
At that time, the first emperor had just appointed the emperor's grandson as the prince, and the little prince was only ten years old. Not long ago, the Queen and Concubine Shu suddenly "died" in the palace. These were all things that happened in the same year. Wouldn't it be a coincidence
Perhaps, Xiao Lou's father was inadvertently involved in the poisonous murder case in Beijing, which involved the secrets of the palace, so he was killed
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang immediately became alert and looked at Xiao Lou and said, "Remember how your father died back then?"
Xiao Lou carefully recalled the memory fragments in his mind and said: "That day, my mother happened to take me out. When I returned home, I saw my father had fallen on the floor of the study room. My mother immediately checked his father’s body and found that his father was poisoned and died. She guessed that it was the murderer who came back to retaliate, so she packed up that day and took my brother and me to escape from the capital overnight."
Although it was just a memory imposed on him by the gatekeeper, those past events were too clear in his mind. Thinking of the scene of his father's death, Xiao Lou still felt worried.
"Are there any traces of being flipped at the scene?" Yu Hanjiang asked.
"It seems to have." Xiao Lou frowned, and followed with confidence; "The desk was turned over and the books in the bookcase were also thrown on the ground. It looked like someone had entered the house and stolen."
"That person should be looking for clues collected by your father and destroying the evidence." Yu Hanjiang said.
"Well, I think so too. The case that my father participated in was very weird. The two accomplices committed suicide in fear of crime, and the principal escaped. The family members of those deceased were strangely no longer held accountable. The Ministry of Justice gave up the investigation and ended the case directly. "Xiao Lou looked up at Yu Hanjiang, and asked softly, "Did you think of anything?"
"I have a guess that this case may be related to the death of the prince and queen." Yu Hanjiang said solemnly.
"The prince and the queen?" Xiao Lou opened his eyes slightly. He was only ten years old and had no idea about the court and the palace. He learned medical skills from his mother and the knowledge of autopsy from his father every day. He didn't expect that his father's murder would be involved. To so many secrets.
"The Secret Chamber of Hearts 8 is actually three cases." It is only now that Yu Hanjiang finally straightened out the structure of the Chamber of Secrets in the troubled times.
-The Jiangzhou Assassin case, the Royal Mansion murder case, the serial poisonous murder case in the capital that year, and the internal court struggle that may be involved behind it. When Qi Fenghua was arrested and the colorless and odorless medicinal powder reappeared, the past thirteen years ago was finally unveiled.
"Thirteen years ago, a lot of things happened in Beijing." Yu Hanjiang took out a son and wrote while saying: "This spring, His Royal Highness was out hunting and was injured by a masked man's poisonous arrow. He was killed on the spot. The emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate immediately. After investigation, the Ministry of Justice found that it was the work of the three princes. The first emperor simply gave the three princes a glass of poisoned wine."
"..." Seeing Yu Hanjiang seriously drew the timeline on his son, Xiao Lou also walked over and looked at him.
“After the prince’s misfortune, the first emperor began to choose another heir among several princes. The fifth prince’s mother was Concubine Shu, and the sixth prince’s mother was Concubine Ming. There was an intrigue in the harem. The emperor's careful investigation found that the queen was probably poisoned by Concubine Shu; the concubine Shu also died of illness, and the investigation found that it was poisoned by the concubine Ming—this is also mentioned in the gossip that the nine princesses told Qu Wanyue Things. The deaths of the Queen and Concubine Shu all happened in the summer."
"Well, I remember this paragraph." Xiao Lou thought of the gossip of the harem mentioned by Qu Wanyue, and analyzed, "Concubine Shu and Concubine Ming are all involved in the struggle in the harem. The first emperor will be disappointed with the fifth and sixth princes. The eighth prince was able to make the prince prince, but the eighth prince took the initiative to present a memorial, suggesting that the first emperor should establish the eldest son and grandson first, so the first emperor finally established the emperor grandson as the prince?"
"Yes, the first emperor changed his prince to the establishment of a prince in autumn. That fall, I entered the palace as the prince's accompaniment. I also heard some rumors about the death of the queen and concubine Shu. The first emperor investigated in the harem, but there was no evidence, so in the end To finalize the case with'death of illness'."
"I remember the case my father participated in very clearly. It was winter." Xiao Lou frowned thoughtfully.
The capital has been chaotic throughout the year.
In spring, the royal hunting ground outside the capital, His Royal Highness was shot to death by a poisoned arrow while hunting.
In the summer, the queen and concubine Shu were poisoned one after another, but because no evidence was found, they could only be described as "death of illness" to the outside world.
In the autumn, the eight princes sent a letter to the first emperor, hoping that the first emperor would set the rules to pass the throne to only the eldest son’s grandson. So the first emperor listened to the younger son’s suggestion and formally established the emperor’s grandson as the new prince. It was Yu Hanjiang in his childhood who was summoned into the palace as a companion to the prince.
In the winter, a series of murders suddenly occurred in Beijing. Xiao Lou's father was inadvertently involved in the murder and was murdered by the murderer. This serial poisoning case was eventually fooled by the Criminal Ministry and became an unsolved case.
Looking at the timeline clearly marked by Yu Hanjiang on his son, Xiao Lou was agitated: "From the order of time, the serial poison killings happened at the end. It's like someone is doing aftermath work and killing a group of people? Kill all those who know a certain secret?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Moreover, all cases involve a common factor-poison."
The prince was poisoned arrows, the queen was poisoned, and the concubine Shu was poisoned. The serial murders in the capital were also poisoned. Xiao Lou's father was still poisoned to death. In fact, all seemingly unrelated cases have one core—the tools used to commit the crime are the same. All are "poisoned" to kill!
It is very likely that all the people who died in the accident that year were poisoned by the same poison, and it was the poison that Qi Fenghua gave to the second prince of Zhao Guo-it looked like rock sugar powder, and it would be colorless and tasteless when added to food. People were poisoned to death without knowing it.
The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more he felt wrong: "If you analyze this matter carefully, there are many doubts. The prince is dead, and it is found that the murderer is the third prince; the queen is dead, and the most suspected is Concubine Shu; Concubine Shu is dead, and the first emperor suspects Ming concubine... This suspicion is too wide. How can so many people get rare poison at the same time? The harem system is strict, and the three princes, concubine Shu, and concubine Ming all get the poison, isn't it impossible!"
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: "Madam is right. In the harem, it is impossible for so many murderers to use the same crime method to kill people. The virulent poison should be a forbidden item, and it is not so easy to bring into the palace. The third prince and the concubine Shu , Concubine Ming, don’t all have poison in her hands. So, it’s more likely that... they were framed and framed!"
When Xiao Lou heard this, his back could not help but feel cold: "In other words, the real murderer has been lurking in the harem?"
If this is the case, then the murderer's scheming is really terrifying!
Yu Hanjiang analyzed carefully and said: "Assuming our speculation is reasonable, the real murderer first sent someone to shoot the prince to death with a poisoned arrow and planted the money on the third prince, causing the first emperor to kill the third prince by mistake. Then he secretly poisoned the queen and planted the money on the concubine Shu. The first emperor was extremely disappointed with Concubine Shu's son, the fifth prince. She then poisoned Concubine Shu and planted it on the concubine Ming. The first emperor didn’t like the concubine Ming’s son, the sixth prince. The first emperor had five sons in total. The prince and the third prince were dead. The fifth and sixth princes fell out of favor in the hearts of the first emperor-who would be the most advantageous?"
Xiao Lou: "..."
Then there will only be the Eighth Prince, which is now the Eighth Prince.
Except for those anti-social perverted murderers, most murderers have motives for committing crimes. According to Yu Hanjiang’s analysis, the real murderer used a knife to kill and use his strength to fight the prince, the third prince, the queen, the concubine Shu, and the concubine Ming. A large group of forces, the sons of the first emperor were all pulled down, only the eight princes were not affected.
who can that be
It can be seen that the eight princes do not love power. After the emperor brothers died and fell out of favor, the first emperor wanted to pass the throne to him. He actually made a memorial to let the emperor make the emperor's grandson the prince, which is equivalent to giving up the throne. .
If he didn't give up on his own initiative, he was the logical prince back then.
Who is planning for him to this point
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, and said at the same time: "The eighth prince's mother concubine?"
******
【Chapter 181, Beacon 29】
There are many concubines in the first emperor's harem. The queen is the first emperor's married wife, and is also the first emperor's favorite woman.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Ming are both powerful and powerful families. Concubine Shu is the daughter of the generals. There are also a group of ministers behind the Concubine Ming. Relatively speaking, the concubine of the Eighth Prince has a terrible presence in the harem. Like a transparent person.
Even the two of them don't even know her name and title.
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "The eighth prince's concubine... I remember that grandfather seems to have mentioned that his concubine did not participate in the harem battle, and seems to be a woman who has nothing to do with the world."
Uncontested
In the treacherous harem, can it really be "uncontested with the world"
Xiao Lou frowned and said: "If our inference is correct, the eighth prince's mother and concubine should not be a woman who is incompetent in the world, but a deep-minded and first-rate female middle school Zhuge. She kills four birds with one stone and lets the prince The three princes died one after another, and the fifth and sixth princes fell out of favor one after another. Among the princes of the first emperor, only the eighth princes could pass the throne. This strategy is really vicious and poisonous!"
Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "At dawn tomorrow morning, we will go to see the nine princesses. She should know what kind of person the eighth prince's mother and concubine is like!"
Xiao Lou nodded: "Okay, we have to hurry up."
**
Early the next morning, Long Sen returned to Jiangzhou City and secretly came to the backyard of the prefect to report.
Long Sen looked very tired, with thick dark circles under his eyelids. He hurried back home without rest for about two days and nights.
Seeing that he was about to be tired and paralyzed, Xiao Lou immediately poured him a glass of water and said softly, "Thank you."
Long Sen drank the water in one sip, wiped his mouth and said, "I changed three fast horses halfway through, and didn't dare to rest for a moment. I finally arrived in time. It is really dangerous. There are still two days before your majesty's draft show! If we fail to deliver the letter in time, your Majesty may be assassinated!"
Xiao Lou was taken aback and said, "It seems that once our reasoning speed is too slow, when we find out the origin of the Yan State Assassin Group, your Majesty in the capital may have already died."
What a false alarm.
Fortunately, Xiao Lou remembered his younger brother on the front line in time and brought him out for investigation. Otherwise, they didn't even know that His Majesty would be assassinated. Investigate the Royal Mansion case carefully, and if your Majesty dies, the entire secret room will fail!
Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou appreciatively, and said, "Fortunately, it's time."
Xiao Lou nodded and said, "Well, what's your reaction after reading the secret letter?"
As the shadow guard arranged by His Majesty, Long Sen can contact the shadow guard in the capital and ask the other party to directly introduce it. This is also the reason why Yu Hanjiang asked Long Sen to deliver the letter personally. There should be no difference in this letter.
Although his Majesty today is young, he is very strategic. He had secretly trained a large number of shadow guards before he became the throne.
Long Sen said: "Your Majesty let me go down a secret road. I was blindfolded and taken to a very strange place. When I saw your Majesty dressed as a prince, I gave him the secret letter. After reading it, he frowned and said, I didn't expect these assassins to be so arrogant, they dare to come to the palace to assassinate!"
Long Sen learned his majesty's words vividly: "Go back and tell Master Yu that I will handle the draft carefully. The time for the draft will be two days later, and everything will proceed as usual, just to catch all the assassins lurking in the capital and the spies who collaborated with the enemy and treason in the imperial court. come out!"
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Is he trying to take the risk with his own body to lead the snake out of the cave?"
Long Sen said: "Your Majesty really meant this. The ceremonial department has been planning the draft for a long time. There are many young ladies who are on their way to the capital. If they are cancelled rashly, it is difficult to explain, and I am afraid it will cause random speculation among the people. Your Majesty. He said that he would make arrangements in advance, staring at the more beautiful girls, and find out the assassins who were in them. He made Master Yu rest assured."
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Since Your Majesty will make arrangements, I think that with his city mansion and strategy, he will not be afraid of a few assassins in a small area. The line of assassins in Yan Country should be able to end beautifully."
Your Majesty will be responsible for the arrest of the assassins and spies of the Chali Department. What Yu Hanjiang will do next is to sort out the line of poisonous killings.
At present, there are still some secrets that need to be uncovered on the poisonous killing line.
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang brought Xiaolou and Lao Mo to the palace.
Yu Hanjiang personally reported the investigation results of the Assassins to the Eighth Prince, and informed the prince that this was a force from the Kingdom of Yan and was formed by the prince of the Kingdom of Yan himself. He also said that the Kingdom of Yan was also preparing to send assassins to assassinate His Majesty. He had sent a letter overnight to inform the emperor. .
The prince suddenly realized: "It turned out that the people of the country of Yan dared to assassinate your majesty, what a bastard!" The prince slapped the table and almost turned the table over.
Yu Hanjiang calmly said: "All the assassins have been captured. According to the king, what should be done with these assassins?"
The prince thought carefully, and said: "The assassination of your Majesty is a capital crime. Master Yu doesn't need to be merciful and puts them to death directly. In addition, since Tianxiang Tower is the base of the intelligence organization, this place can't stay alive."
Yu Hanjiang said: "There are still four girls left in Tianxiang Tower, and the minister carefully checked that these four are indeed innocent, and they have no knowledge of what Aunt Qing and others have done. The four are finding their own way?"
The prince frowned: "Are you sure these four people are okay?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Weichen has searched the list of organizations from Aunt Qing, excluding these four people. Moreover, Weichen has also personally interrogated and investigated. These four people are indeed unaware."
You must not put all the girls in Tianxianglou to death, after all, Ye Qi is also in Tianxianglou.
The prince said: "Okay, what to do with these four people, you are the prefect of Jiangzhou, it is up to you to decide." The prince touched his chin, and said: "Right, the two murders in the palace, right? Related to these assassins?"
Of course, Yu Hanjiang couldn’t directly say "Your daughter was probably killed by your son." Instead, he casually made up an excuse and said: "The assassin did not admit to killing the eldest lady. The case of the eldest lady and Master Lin is still there. After investigating, I found some clues. If Prince Rong allows him a few more days, the Weichen will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible."
The prince nodded and said, "Then there will be Lord Laoyu."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Weichen still has some details. I want to ask the nine princesses. I wonder if the nine princesses are still in the palace?"
The prince couldn’t help laughing: “Of course it’s still there. My sister has always been self-willed. She was almost pierced in the back by an assassin that day. She was so frightened that she didn’t dare to go anywhere after she came back. Resting."
He waved to a maid and said, "Go to the backyard and call the nine princesses. Master Yu has something to ask her."
After a while, the nine princesses brought Qu Wanyue to the front yard side hall.
The two have changed back to women's clothing.
Qu Wanyue's women's clothing is simply a gentle and beautiful woman from the south of the Yangtze River, which makes Long Sen's eyes bright.
Yu Hanjiang first used some harem gossip as a foreshadowing to confirm the old things that the nine princesses told Qu Wanyue: "Back then, the Weichen served as a companion to the prince in the palace for a period of time, and heard some rumors... The queen and concubine Ming also poisoned concubine Shu, and the nine princesses grew up in the harem. Isn’t that true?"
The nine princesses said: "These are all rumors, and there is no real evidence. My father did not send Ming concubine into the cold palace back then, but made a will to let all the concubines in the harem be buried for him."
Yu Hanjiang said, "Where is the mother and concubine of the Eighth Prince? How is the princess to understand?"
The nine princesses thought for a while, and said: "The eighth emperor's mother and concubine is a good concubine. It is said that the concubine is a civil woman saved by the father when he went to Jiangzhou. The most beautiful one, with a clear and beautiful temperament. After her father took her into the palace, she chose the most secluded "Qingxinyuan" in the harem to live. Tea, chanting Buddha."
Yu Hanjiang said: "How did the first emperor treat the concubine?"
The nine princesses said: "My father loves her very much. Her personality is very quiet and gentle. My father often goes to her to drink tea, saying that drinking tea from the concubine can calm my mind and nourish my brain. When I was a child, I also used to drink tea. Go and play with Concubine Xian, there are so many concubines in the harem, and the one I like the most is Concubine Xian. She is really gentle and always has the fragrance of tea on her body. By the way, she knows some medical skills and showed me when I was a child I was sick and gave me some herbal teas to nourish my body."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.
Concubine Xian, the birth mother of the Eighth Prince, a woman brought back to the palace from the people by the first emperor.
This woman looked gentle and virtuous on the surface, uncontested with the world, and she usually lived in the most secluded corner to make tea and recite Buddha. Perhaps she was the most terrifying oss in the harem.
She loves to make tea, maybe she can put poison in the tea, poison the queen and concubine Shu quietly, and then plant it to others!
Yu Hanjiang immediately asked: "The first emperor left a will to let all his concubines be buried, so what about the concubines? Did they die too?"
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Princess shook her head and said, "Concubine Xian is still alive!"
Everyone: "...… …"
Everyone's chills are about to stand up!
When Xiao Lou heard this, his heart squeezed for a while, as if his neck was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
This hidden oss is still alive
Yu Hanjiang immediately asked: "How could this be? Didn't the first emperor let all his concubines be buried? Didn't the Xian concubine follow the emperor's will?"
The nine princesses sighed lightly and said: "More than ten years ago, my father made the current sage the prince, and the eighth emperor was named the king of Zhenjiang, and the father built him the magnificent Zhenjiang palace in Jiangzhou, the eighth emperor. My brother likes to be an idle prince very much, so he took a few wives back to Jiangzhou to settle down. He traveled around the mountains and rivers all day, free and easy. When the concubine Xian knew about it, she told the Emperor Ming to pray for his father at Qingshan Temple. …"
-Qingshan Temple is the temple outside Jiangzhou City!
The nine princesses admired the authentic expression: "The concubine Xian really sees through the world, and her heart is like still water. The first emperor found that she was eating fast and reciting the Buddha in the palace all day, so he let her go. So the concubine Xian escaped into the empty gate and came to Qingshan Temple. The female nun in Qingshan Temple. The first emperor’s decree is to let all the concubines in the harem be buried for him, but the concubines no longer belong to the harem, so of course they don’t need to be buried."
Ye Qi and Liu Qiao, who followed Zhao's messenger last night, happened to chase to Qingshan Temple and discovered a secret conversation between Qi Fenghua and the second prince Zhao.
The whole Jiangzhou is so big and there are so many places for chatting in the small forests in the suburbs. Why is it Qingshan Temple
I see!
Concubine Xian is still at Qingshan Temple!
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and met his bright eyes.
The case finally came to light.
This concubine, who seized the opportunity to "retire into the empty door", was probably irritated by her son. She planned for so long and killed all the enemies, but in the end she was cheated by her own son. Who could have imagined that the Eighth Prince was not interested in power, and when the first emperor was about to pass the throne to him at the last moment, he would take the initiative to play a memorial to push the throne? !
In the eyes of the Eighth Prince, it is a great joy in life to travel around the mountains and play with beautiful women.
Sitting on the dragon chair is too troublesome, he would rather be a idle prince.
Concubine Xian had failed to plan and had to kill a group of people in the capital. It is very likely that this was the reason for the serial poisonous murders in Beijing. Unite some officials from the court, including those from the Criminal Ministry.
Since the plan failed, of course these people couldn't stay, so she poisoned a group of people and involved Xiao Lou's father. Perhaps his father was also found out about the queen and prince before he was killed.
To do a good job in the aftermath, the concubine Xian followed closely pretending to see through the world, and wanted to escape into the empty door.
The first emperor was already very old at that time. The queen and the prince had an accident. The old man must be very tired. She was always gentle and virtuous, and worried that she would be murdered if she stayed in the harem. Therefore, the first emperor agreed to let her out of the palace and let her be in the temple. Enjoy your twilight years.
The first emperor probably never expected that in his eyes, the gentlest and most uncontested concubine was the real murderer hiding behind the scenes.
She hides too deep!
Xiao Lou couldn't help but admire her scheming. If a woman in this world can be called an emperor, a concubine might be able to become a female emperor. The entire harem of the first emperor was played round and round by her. In the end, all the women in the harem were buried, but she survived.
The son was not up for it and wasted her layout.
So, she turned her attention to Sun Tzu—starting to assist Qi Fenghua in rebelling
******
【Chapter 182, Beacon 30】
After learning that Concubine Xian was living in Qingshan Temple outside Jiangzhou City, Yu Hanjiang immediately summoned a movie guard and directly surrounded Qingshan Temple.
At noon, the scorching sun was hanging in the sky, and the sun was particularly dazzling.
The Qingshan Temple has a quiet environment, surrounded by green bamboos, and a clear spring flowing. The sound of the stream flows past the ears, and the regular sound of knocking wooden fish comes from the temple, like a place without any dispute. The paradise.
Who could have imagined that there lived a woman with deep thoughts and murder.
Yu Hanjiang waved his hand, and all the shadow guards flew into the temple with ease.
In the front temple, a woman wearing a plain blue shirt with a nun's hat on her head is kneeling in front of the Buddhist hall, holding a scripture in one hand, and gently tapping the wooden fish with the other.
The sound of footsteps behind her and the rustling wind around her didn't seem to affect her.
She was still focused, chanting the scriptures gently in her mouth, until a low and cold voice came from behind: "Lady Concubine, when you are chanting to the Buddha statue, have you ever thought about the dead souls of those who were poisoned to death by you? , Can you really rest in peace?"
The woman opened her eyes suddenly.
Those eyes were as clear as water, and they seemed to really see through Hong Chen.
Even if she doesn't wear pink and daisy on her face, and only wears a coarse cloth Qingyi, she still can't conceal her refined and refined temperament, no wonder the Emperor Xian was fascinated by her at the beginning, regardless of her life experience, directly brought her back to the palace and sealed her as a concubine.
The woman knelt in front of the Buddha statue, without turning her head back to say: "Amitabha, the poor nun has already escaped into the empty gate. Please be cautious about the benefactor, and the mundane affairs should not disturb the purity of this Buddhist gate."
Yu Hanjiang sneered: "Really? The concubine Xian has become a nun. For the matter thirteen years ago, the evidence and physical evidence are gone, so she can't be held accountable. It is a pity that the concubine Xian has fallen short of her work 13 years ago, but she still falls short of her work today. ."
He waved his hand and said lightly: "Bring Qi Fenghua up."
The shadow guards immediately escorted Qi Fenghua over and was escorted by Long Sen himself.
Qi Fenghua's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the always calm Concubine Xian finally changed her face at this moment. She slowly got up and turned around to look at Qi Fenghua in disbelief.
Yu Hanjiang said: "Xian concubine, do you know your grandson?"
Concubine Xian and Qi Fenghua were relatively silent.
Yu Hanjiang said: "You want to form an alliance with Zhao Guo to help your grandson ascend to the throne. If Weichen is right, your true identity may be Zhao Guoren, and after you are a famous doctor, you will extract materials from plants to make this Colorless, odorless and highly toxic, am I right?"
Concubine Xian was silent for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, it's a failure, what a failure!"
The laughter was sharp and harsh, how could there be a "gentle and virtuous" appearance
A gust of wind blew her hat off—she had been practicing with her hair, and her long hair was blown away messy by the wind, making her whole face look a bit hideous, and her facial features were even slightly distorted.
After a long time, she stopped smiling, and looked at Qi Fenghua sharply: "There are not enough successes and more failures!"
Qi Fenghua lowered his head in annoyance.
Concubine Xian said coldly: "As early as when you secretly returned to the palace to find the bottle of medicine, I guessed that this would be messed up by you! You foolish thing, even half of your father's king! He! Although ambitious, at least smart enough, how about you? Idiot!"
Qi Fenghua's face was pale, his whole body was shaking, and he dared not refute a word.
The concubine Xian laughed and said: "After I was a noble of the Zhao country, I lived in Daqi and was forcibly taken back to the palace by the dog emperor. I became his concubine and couldn't leave the palace in one step! I have been planning for so many years in Qi. , My son should ascend to the throne, and I should be the empress dowager respected by everyone in Daqi! It is a pity that every time I fail...
She looked crazy, her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. Obviously, Qi Fenghua's arrest was a big blow to her.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and immediately ordered them to take her down.
The shadow guards quickly controlled her.
Concubine Xian did not struggle, her face was pale, and her heart was already ashamed.
Up to now, all the cases in the Secret Chamber of Hearts 8 have finally been solved.
The Assassin Line is actually not difficult, as long as you hurry up and bring out Xiao Lou's brother, it will be easy to solve the case.
The poisoning case is very complicated, involving two cases.
Thirteen years ago, His Royal Highness was shot to death by a poisoned arrow. The Queen and Concubine Shu were "died" by poison. In fact, it was the mother of the Eighth Prince.
However, she has exhausted all the agencies, except for her own son.
She thinks that men all pursue power, especially the prince. Who doesn't want to sit on the supreme dragon chair? She planned everything for her son. Wasn't the son grateful to her, and even more filial to her and respect her, the empress dowager after he became the throne
However, her son slapped her in the face severely when the incident happened, voluntarily gave up the right of inheritance, and pushed the throne to the little prince.
She couldn't control this son who pursued pleasure and didn't want to be the emperor.
After she came to Jiangzhou, she decided to train her eldest grandson Qi Fenghua, and wanted her grandson to usurp the throne with Zhao Guo.
It’s a pity that it fell short in the end—Qi Fenghua accidentally left a bottle of medicine at the palace’s home and wanted to bring the medicine out. However, he ran into his sister Qi Yiyao and the young master Lin Shaobo. He killed two of them in a row, which involved a big deal. Pile things up.
This is why he had two bottles of medicine in his arms-one of them was given to the second prince and the other was taken out of the palace by him.
It is true that Qi Fenghua is not smart and cautious enough, and the Eighth Wang Yegen has no intention of being an emperor.
The biggest tragedy of Concubine Xian is that she pays too much attention to power, thinking about how to kill the prince and the queen all day... idea.
The Eighth Prince is a lover, not a puppet that she can manipulate at will.
Qi Fenghua couldn't support the wall with mud.
She is a great strategy strategist, but a failed mother.
…
A melodious bell rang in the Qingshan Temple, and the concubine Xian looked at the quiet temple in a daze. Her hair was messy and her eyes were blood red, as if she was crazy. Twice in a row, she fell short of success, and she was devastated, and she seemed to be a few years old in an instant.
