The old general braced his body and stood in front of Mingrou's coffin. He pressed the edge of the coffin with trembling hands, and said with a choked voice, "Come here, please invite Lord Yan of Dali Temple! No one is allowed to go near the mourning hall until Wu Zuo and the people from Dali Temple come!"
Obviously, he believed in Gentiana Qin's words.
Following his words, the people of Mingfu immediately began to politely invite those who came to express their condolences to go out.
For a while, the mourning hall was a little chaotic.
Even though everyone went out in coordination, Gentiana Qin was so crowded that she almost fell down. If Gu Jiuxiao hadn't been paying attention to her all the time, holding her in his arms to protect her and going out, Gentiana Qin would have been squeezed and staggered again.
The two left the Ming mansion silently, and when they arrived at Ding Wang's mansion, Gu Yan had already been waiting for a long time.
His complexion was not very good-looking, and when he saw Gentiana Qin, he couldn't help stretching his brows and eyes, and his eyes were shining.
Gu Yan came here to tell them what happened in the court today, especially the matter that Yu Shitai wanted to push Qin Gentian to take the blame, but was ordered to be beheaded by Emperor Shengyuan.
"For the current plan, it's better for you to leave Beijing quickly."
Gu Yan frowned. He couldn't be sure that he knew Emperor Shengyuan 100%, but he could barely guess what he was thinking, "Father doesn't want to fight."
Emperor Shengyuan should be inclined to compromise with the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
"madness!"
Gu Jiuxiao's face was condensed, and his beautiful phoenix eyes were full of coldness, "As long as he backs down once, there will be countless times."
At that time, the country will not become a country, and the king will not be the king.
I am afraid that there will be no more South Vietnam, and the South Vietnam people will become slaves of Xirong.
"He is getting more and more confused with age!"
What Gu Jiuxiao said was not polite, but Gu Yan was silent and didn't refute. Obviously, even though he didn't say it, he thought so in his heart.
"So, I'm worried that he will push someone out, vent the anger of the Three Kingdoms, and be scolded by all the people..." Gu Yan hesitated to speak, and looked at Qin Gentian worriedly.
"Today's matter should be just an introduction. I'm afraid that if there are more petitions, the emperor will agree..." According to Gu Yan's guess, when Yushitai first raised it, Emperor Shengyuan reacted so strongly, he should be worried that he would be ridiculed by the people all over the world for taking the blame for his daughter-in-law.
Emperor Shengyuan didn't even think that he was really afraid of hearing such words as Gentiana Qin and Concubine Ding.
Gu Jiuxiao was also worried in his heart, and couldn't help but said in a hoarse voice, "I'll ask the dark guard to send you and the doctor's sage Longya back, okay? I'm worried about you. I'm still here to move your mother-in-law's grave. I'll take care of it and make sure it's done beautifully for you. Don't worry..." Qin Jia probably knew what was going on in his heart and was not worried. The person..." As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yan and Gu Jiuxiao glanced at each other, their expressions were a little ugly.
Gentiana Qin wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but was suddenly stunned in a strange way.
She touched her waist hesitantly, and took out a note from the girdle.
"This..." Gentiana Qin unfolded the note, and was taken aback when he saw some familiar and shocking words on the note.
It was the handwriting that came to remind her last time, and this time I came to remind her again, asking her to leave Beijing as soon as possible.
The appearance of this note made Gu Jiuxiao and Gu Yan nervous.
"Who the hell reminded you to leave twice, and this time it was stuffed on you without anyone noticing..." Qin Jia frowned, secretly recalling, "It should have been in the mourning hall of the famous mansion, when there were crowds of people, it was secretly stuffed in by someone. That person should also be the one who went to the famous mansion to express condolences."
But there were so many people who went to Mingfu to express their condolences, and there were quite a few people in the mourning hall at that time, so it might take some time to find out one by one.
It was related to Gentiana Qin and the people behind the scenes, Gu Jiuxiao didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately recruited people to find ways to investigate.
After Yuan Cui secretly slipped the note of Princess Xian to Qin Geng when the mourning hall was in chaos, she waited for a while before taking her leave and leaving.
When she returned to King Xian's mansion, King Xian had already woken up, Princess Xian was watching over him, and the two sat by the pool to feed the golden carp.
"My lord, my concubine, my slaves are back."
Xian Wang Yanyan glanced at her, and hummed lightly.
Concubine Xian called her to get up softly, and said concerned, "How is Mingfu
How is the old general and old lady? "
Her mother's family is somewhat related to Ming's family, so she really cared, "Poor Mingrou..." She said these words, and her voice became a little choked up.
Yuan Cui carefully glanced at King Xian, "The old general and old lady look very bad..." Princess Xian's eyes turned red, "I'm sorry for the white-haired people sending the black-haired people, God is sorry..." "Miss Mingrou didn't fall into the water by mistake."
Yuan Cui was obviously also indignant at Ming Rou being killed at such a young age, she gritted her teeth, "She was killed by someone, she should have seen something she shouldn't see, and someone grabbed her hair and pressed her into the water, so she died!"
Not only Princess Xian was startled, but even the sleepy King Xian turned his face away, coughing while talking, "Is what you said true
How did you find out? "
Yuan Cui quietly raised her head and looked at Princess Xian, knowing that her own lady probably didn't want to mention Princess Ding by herself, but about the mourning hall, if she didn't mention it, someone outside would spread it. Therefore, King Xian doubted it later, she still said honestly, "It's Princess Ding."
"Young Master Zhou couldn't accept the fact that Miss Mingrou passed away, so he begged Princess Ding to save her, and Princess Ding found out that Miss Mingrou didn't fall into the water by accident, but died unexpectedly.
The servant girl stayed behind for a while, the people from Dali Temple came quickly, and Wu Zuo carefully examined Miss Mingrou's body, and confirmed that Miss Mingrou was killed by him, and the murderer should be a man. "
Seeing that King Xian was interested, Yuancui continued, "Miss Mingrou picked something between her fingernails. There happened to be several places in Mingfu. The old general spoke with Commander Ming and ordered people to arrest all the servants in these places and interrogate them one by one. Later, when they came to Chengmingxuan where Commander Ming lived, Mrs. Ming was so frightened that she got pregnant, and the old general asked him to be taken out of Chengmingxuan to avoid Mrs. Ming's questioning. The servants behind are not fit to listen... "Yong Cui explained everything about Mingfu in a few words, and she sighed in her heart as she spoke, it was a pity for Mingrou.
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect this to happen.
However, King Xian suddenly said from the side, "Princess Ding's ability is really so great?"
Can you even see whether it was a slip and fall into the water or a homicide
After hearing so much, his attention was on Princess Ding.
He glanced at Princess Xian, coughed and said, "Think of a way to invite her to the palace."
Concubine Xian bit her lips subconsciously, she pursed her lips, and smiled softly, "Okay."
The killing of Mingrou was still spread, and various versions were circulated. However, there was a rumor that Mingrou was actually raped by a servant of Mingfu before she dumped her body in the lotus pond. Perhaps this kind of statement was both entertaining and bloody.
A pure and clean girl's family suffered such stigma after her innocent and tragic death. The old lady fainted several times after being excited, and then never woke up again, and could only linger on the bed unconsciously.
Everyone knows that only by finding the real culprit as soon as possible can the sewage splashed on Ming Rou be wiped clean, but even after interrogating all the servants in the mansion, there is no result.
And Qinghe had ghosts and guilt in her heart, and she had nightmares almost every night. After another dream of Mingrou crawling towards her from the water, she woke up screaming.
Mingfeng was woken up by her, worried about her body, hurriedly hugged her in his arms, and gently stroked her back, "What's the matter, did you have a nightmare, it's okay, it's okay..." Qing He nestled in his arms with a pale face, trembling, "Have you found the murderer yet
I'm scared, husband, I'm so scared, can I go out and live for a while, I'm afraid that one day someone will hurt our child..." Mingfeng suddenly felt distressed, "Qinghe, there is no safer place than my side, you believe me, I will find the murderer soon, don't be afraid..." But Qinghe was still afraid, she was afraid that they would find the murderer, she was afraid of staying in Mingfu, and she was afraid that Mingrou would fall into her dreams every night.
She thought of something, and suddenly clutched Mingfu's arm tightly, "I want to go to Guiyuan Temple, I want to pray for my mother and child, and I want to recite the scriptures of the past for my younger sister. My husband, it must be cold for my younger sister to be alone down here. Please, let me go..." Mingfeng looked at his wife who was thinking about his mother and his dead younger sister, and couldn't help but hug her tightly, and finally let go.
In the carriage to Guiyuan Temple, Qing He leaned wearily against the wall of the carriage. The bumpy carriage made her very uncomfortable, and she wanted to vomit several times.
Bu Nan waited on her carefully, and every time she approached, she opened her severely.
Bu Nan's expression darkened immediately, and he stayed by her side silently.
He knew that she said so much just to take him away from Mingfu.
Sure enough, he heard Qinghe's weak voice ringing in his ears, "I heard that there are beasts traveling in the back mountain of Guiyuan Temple, find a chance, and arrange to pretend that you are mangled by the beast. Go, go as far as you can."
Bu Nan's eyes were gloomy, suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly, Qing He screamed, the person had already rolled out of the carriage, Bu Nan's face changed drastically, he jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, hugged him in his arms, suppressed his voice, and shouted angrily, "What's going on?"
He put Qing He on the ground and stabilized her carefully, carefully supported her stomach, and looked up.
But he saw three carriages blocking up in front of him.
The closest to them was the carriage of Prince Ding's Mansion. He caught sight of Princess Ding, glanced his eyes away and hurriedly lowered his head.
Qin Gentian saw his skill just now, and then looked at his figure, which was obviously taller and stronger than the average woman, frowned imperceptibly, walked to another carriage, frowned and said, "What's the matter with your carriage?"
Their carriage was going well at first, but who knew that this carriage would suddenly lose control and crash into Dingwangfu's carriage, not to mention Dingwangfu's carriage, and Mingfu's carriage.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the horse suddenly lost control just now, and I don't know what happened..." The driver hurriedly apologized, and while he went to check the horse pulling the cart, he found that the horse became more panicked as he got closer, and kept kicking his limbs to stop him from approaching.
His face changed greatly in fright, "Quiet, be quiet!"
But the horse became even more frantic, raised its front hooves, neighed, turned around and ran away.
The carriage also went on a rampage because of the madness of the horse, and the woman's scream immediately sounded in the carriage.
The coachman's face turned pale, "Wangfei, come here, save Wangfei!"
Someone immediately tried to pull the mad horse, but no one could stop it.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a woman screamed, and a goose-yellow figure rolled down from the carriage. Seeing that his back was about to hit the sharp stone lying across the road, Qin Gentian frowned, stepped on his feet, flew over, grabbed the man's waist, and led him away from the sharp stone.
Concubine Xian nestled in the arms of Gentiana Qin in shock. She was led by Gentiana Qin, and finally stood on her feet, but she still looked at Gentiana Qin in a daze.
"Many, thank you, Princess Ding..." She took a few quick breaths, wringing her hands nervously and fearfully, but soon she adjusted, and returned to the dignified and elegant Princess Xian when she first met.
Qin Geng frowned when he saw the guards of the virtuous king's mansion beheading the mad horse.
"Easy to do."
She didn't have a good impression of Concubine Xian. From the first time they met in Changyin Pavilion, she felt that Concubine Xian was a bit out of harmony.
Qin Gentian didn't want to have a deep talk with her, so after saying these four words, he bid farewell to her and walked towards the carriage of Prince Ding's Mansion.
The coachman's eyes flickered, he walked quickly to Princess Xian, and said in a low voice, "Princess, why don't you take the opportunity to ride with Princess Ding, otherwise, wouldn't the scene just now be a show for the blind?"
Concubine Xian bit her lips, feeling a little reluctant, but she knew what the coachman said was what King Xian meant. She had already disobeyed King Xian once, but she couldn't resist the second time, but she still wanted to struggle, and said helplessly, "It's too tight, and it's easy to be conceived..." Before she finished speaking, the coachman passed her and strode towards Qin Geng, "Princess Ding, Concubine Ding, wait a minute. My princess is in a hurry to go to Guiyuan Temple to pray for the prince. Chen is not well, I see that you are also going to Guiyuan Temple, can you please make it convenient for Wangfei to give my princess a ride..." His words fell, Xian Wangfei's expression froze, and she subconsciously went to look at Qin Gentiana.
