In the Shoukang Palace, Qin Wan and the Queen Mother finished talking about the case of the bones of the Jin Palace, and the Queen Mother fell into deep thought. In the palace?"
Qin Wan also nodded, "Yes, but I'm not sure if it's him or not."
Even though Qin Wan said so, the queen mother shook her head, "I still have an impression of the person you mentioned."
Qin Guan was slightly surprised, and the queen mother continued, "He was sent to the palace since he was a child. He was supposed to be a eunuch, but back then when the princes were selecting guards, the King of Jin took a fancy to this man at a glance, just because this man was in the same age group. Among them, he looks extraordinarily tall, this is one, and second, his appearance is also very outstanding, he does not look like a person from Da Zhou, he was two years older than King Jin at that time, but King Jin saw him pleasing to the eye, so he still chose After leaving him, I found out later that his mother was not from Da Zhou, and this guard followed King Jin for many years, probably everyone in the palace knew about it."
The people who follow the highnesses, even if they are just guards, are all dignified figures. There are many lower-level servants in the palace. In the eyes of these people, these so-called guards are no different from half masters .
"The longer he grows, the more outstanding his appearance is, and he is also very eye-catching. There are not many people like this in the palace, even in the entire capital, so I think this person is undoubtedly him. .”
The appearance of the Zhou people is quite different from that of the Western Regions and Rong people. If there are Western Regions or Rong people in the capital, they can be recognized at a glance. However, the Rong people and the Great Zhou have been enemies for many years, so they dare not go to the hinterland of the Great Zhou easily. Even if one or two people from the Western Regions arrived in the capital, they would only appear when there were foreign envoys coming to the court. Such people as Song Xiwen were very rare.
Qin Wan has actually confirmed the identity of this person, but it is not easy to categorically say this. If Song Xiwen is involved, it will inevitably be involved in the case of King Jin last year, and the case of King Jin has already been concluded. At this time, Qin Wan wouldn't pray that the emperor would suddenly let him go, and let King Jin's case be retried casually.
"If that's the case, it would be too puzzling for his bones to appear in the Jin Palace." Qin Wan said.
Why didn't the queen mother think of this, she coughed twice again, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the queen mother's cough seems to be getting worse, after thinking about it, the queen mother said again, "That's right, at that time King Jin... this person should be following His... I don't know how the trial is... "
Qin Wan pursed her lips, "Empress Dowager, Guan'er said something that shouldn't be said. Is this skeleton related to the King Jin case?"
The Empress Dowager sighed, and naturally she would not blame Qin Wan, Qin Wan had always wanted to do this, so it was natural for her to be more sensitive to these things, "At the beginning, the case... was full of troubles, and the Ai family didn't believe that King Jin would do such a thing. But later, he chose to commit suicide in fear of crime in the sky prison... Hey, Aijia is really disappointed..."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips were tightly pursed, "When I found this skeleton, I thought of the King Jin's case. At that time, I wondered if there was something inside the case, but I thought that His Royal Highness committed suicide in fear of crime, and there were no other witnesses. To testify for him, it's really not easy to make such guesses casually, but..." After a pause, Qin Wan said in a solemn voice, "However, when the head catcher told me the possible identity of the corpse, I was so confused. I have some doubts, this guard should be one of the witnesses of the King of Jin, but he died in the palace for no apparent reason. Thinking about it this way, I also committed suicide against the King of Jin. Some doubts."
The empress dowager's face changed slightly, "You mean... ahem... You said that King Jin didn't commit suicide in fear of crime?"
Qin Wan looked panic-stricken, "This is just Guan'er's guess, please forgive me, Queen Mother."
As soon as the queen mother raised her hand to stop her pleading, she only squinted her eyes and thought for a moment. After a long time, she shook her head, "This matter is too complicated and confusing, and the Ai family can't tell it apart for a while."
Qin Wan stopped and nodded, "It's all my fault for telling you these things. Your cough is not cured yet, so you need to continue to take medicine. Don't think about these things these days. After more than a month The fifth princess is going to get married, so you still have to worry about it."
And the coffin of Prince Rui is about to return...
Qin Wan avoided mentioning the matter of Prince Rui, the Queen Mother seemed to have never thought of it, the two talked for a while, Qin Wan just said goodbye and went out, leaving Shoukang Palace, just as Qin Wan went out, he met Cheng Wang Yanqi, Yanqi today Came here alone, without Feng Chenbi, a look of surprise flashed in Qin Wan's eyes, and he hurriedly saluted.
He thought that Yan Qi would go directly to Shoukang Palace, but he stopped in front of Qin Wan.
Qin Wan raised his eyes to look at Yan Qi, and Yan Qi's lips curled into a thin smile, "Princess Yongci is here to greet grandma?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, the Empress Dowager is not in good health, so I'm here to ask for her pulse."
"Princess Yongci's medical skills are excellent, so forget it, and the technique of autopsy is even more powerful. Even this king was once coaxed by Princess Yongci. Now that I think about it, hehe, it turns out that Yan Chi was protecting me at that time. I'm following you."
Yan Qi was talking about the time she met Yan Qi in Yizhuang when she just returned to the capital, Qin Wan said without changing his face, "It was a lot of inconvenience in the past, if there is any impoliteness, please don't blame me, my lord."
The corners of Yan Qi's evil eyes were raised slightly, "No blame, no blame, you have made great contributions to Da Zhou, who dares to blame you? But the accident happened just after the emperor's grandmother married you and Yan Chi, Uncle Wang, it's really a pity .”
Qin Wan nodded, "It's not peaceful in the capital recently."
Qin Wan didn't understand what happened to Prince Rui, but Yan Qi said something pointedly, "The princess Yongci is talking about the case of Prince Jin's mansion?"
Qin Wan smiled, "Your Highness, why bother to ask questions knowingly, I'm afraid many people in the capital will panic once this case comes out."
Yan Qi sneered, "When this case happened, Princess Yongci was not in the capital, how did Princess Yongci know about this? Also, the person that Princess Yongci said was panicked, didn't she mean the crown prince? ?”
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, Qin Chaoyu was the princess, but his words were openly provocative, Qin Wan smiled, "Whoever does something wrong will panic."
"It seems that the princess has a conclusion? Does the princess know what she is talking about?"
Qin Wan remained calm, "Not only me, I believe many people have their own opinions. Last year's case caused turmoil in the capital. I don't know what will happen to this case."
Yan Qi looked at Qin Wan with a half-smile, "It's a pity that women cannot be officials in the court."
Qin Wan looked at Yan Qi generously, "I'm also very sorry." Qin Wan said and glanced at the palace gate, "It's late, the empress dowager is waiting for the prince, Qin Wan will leave first."
Yan Qi didn't speak, Qin Wanfang walked over, Yan Qi looked back at Qin Wan's back, narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly.
Prince Rui's affairs were not over yet, but something went wrong in the well-behaved Prince Jin's residence.
Yan Qi's eyes flashed with coldness. Although it was a year later, everyone knew that this incident had something to do with last year's case. When he got the news, he originally thought that his father would not allow the investigation of this case, but I didn't expect that my father would allow the investigation by the Lin'an government office. What does this mean? !
At the beginning, the King Jin case set off a bloodbath, but in the end, it ended with King Jin committing suicide in fear of crime.
But to this day, Yan Qi doesn't think that King Jin really committed suicide in fear of crime.
Qin Wan's figure had disappeared, but her words just now still lingered in her ears. In the past two days, someone must have panicked.
Yan Qi glanced at the direction of the East Palace, and some calculations flashed in his eyes.
Yan Qi entered the Shoukang Palace, he didn't come to the Shoukang Palace many times, but recently his father didn't go to his mother's concubine much, there was nothing he could do, the mother's concubine ordered him to come to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects, as long as the queen mother was here for a day, then her Portion counts.
Yan Qi entered the palace gate, Mother Chen clearly informed her, but when Yan Qi entered, the queen mother was still in a daze, Yan Qi hesitated for a moment, and saluted in a low voice, the queen mother came back to her senses, glanced at Yan Qi and waved , "Come, come to grandma."
Yan Qi sat beside the queen mother, "How is the emperor's grandmother today?"
The queen mother coughed twice, shook her head, looked at Yan Qi again and asked, "Qi'er, do you believe your elder brother killed someone?"
Yan Qi's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly she thought of Qin Wan's calm and composed face just now, her eyes were as clear as streams, but under that clarity, there seemed to be some unknown intelligence hidden, Yan Qi Hastily said, "Grandmother, grandson actually never believed that elder brother would kill people..."
