In the main hall, the empress sat at the head of the throne, beside the empress, stood the crown prince in crown clothes, and King Cheng stood near Yanhuai. Feng Lingsu, Concubine Wan and other harem concubines and others The prince also stood on both sides, Yan Zhen looked at Zhao Shuhua with red eyes, even Zhao Shuhua had a strong character and she couldn't bear it at this moment.
The ceremonial officials sang together, and Yan Zhen stepped forward to bid farewell according to the rules. After paying homage to the emperor, Yan Zhen went to Shoukang Palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother. Watching Yan Zhen bid farewell to her ancestors, the ancestral temple enshrines the tablets of Yan's ancestors. After Yan Zhen performed the big ceremony, she got on the wedding chariot outside the ancestral temple. Zhen, walked all the way to Zhenghua Gate, the Empress supported the Queen Mother to go upstairs, and Yan Zhen's chariot came out of Zhenghua Gate.
It was already the beginning of winter at this time, and the cold wind was blowing above the Zhenghua Gate Tower. Zhao Shuhua watched Yan Zhen's bicycle frame walk out from under the door opening, and saw Yan Zhen lift the curtain to look back. She burst into tears all the way. In the eyes of the eyes, all the officials were sent to the Zhenghua Gate, and the flags were waving on the long imperial road, and the imperial guards stood everywhere. Yan Zhen took the glory of the princess of the Great Zhou to marry the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the people in the capital saw each other off. The following servants kept throwing happy money on both sides.
The end of October has already entered the New Year's Eve, and the people in the capital had a lively time ahead of time. However, Zhao Shuhua, who grew up on the tower and watched Yan Zhen's frame getting farther and farther away, felt empty in his heart. The excitement of this big wedding It has nothing to do with her, if possible, she doesn't even want Yan Zhen to leave...
But if she didn't leave, staying in Dazhou Yanzhen would be even more unbearable.
Zhao Shuhua took a deep breath, and her slightly curved back stood up again. Not far from her, Yan Che and Qin Chaoyu also looked solemn. Are they sluggish after the day.
Yan Che has only one younger sister, Yan Zhen, who has been cared for since childhood. He used to think that Yan Zhen's distant marriage was just for his mother's sake, but now he thinks that Yan Zhen's distant marriage may be the best, because next, he and Zhao Shuhua The future is uncertain.
Qin Chaoyu stood beside Yan Che with delicate and bright make-up, and at a glance, he and Yan Che were naturally a couple.
The many days of confinement did not leave the slightest trace on her body, and she was still the proud, high-ranking number one talented woman in the capital.
Regardless of whether the eyes around her were disdainful or contemptuous, questioning or ridiculing, she still remembered the relief when the queen saw her for the first time this morning. She knew that Zhao Shuhua was satisfied. At that moment, her heart was extremely peaceful. Without Yan Che's favor, at least the queen appreciates her.
The queen mother wiped her tears, "Zhen'er is gone, Zhen'er is leaving now..."
Yan Huai supported the Empress Dowager, seeing the carriage going farther and farther, leaving only a faint shadow, Yan Huai hurriedly said, "The wind is strong above this tower, Empress Mother, I will send you back."
The Empress Dowager wanted to take a second look, but the cold wind really made her a little bit unbearable, so the Empress Dowager had no choice but to go down the tower with Yan Huai's support.
The emperor and the queen mother left, and the others followed suit. Only Zhao Shuhua stood still.
The little eunuch next to the emperor stood aside and looked at Zhao Shuhua from a distance, but did not come forward to urge her.
Feng Lingsu originally wanted to go down with her, but when she turned her head and saw that Zhao Shuhua hadn't moved, she walked forward with a smile on her face.
"Thousands of miles away in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Empress Empress actually couldn't bear it."
Feng Lingsu stood beside Zhao Shuhua with her jaw raised, her voice slightly mocking.
There was a little sadness on Zhao Shuhua's face, but after hearing this, she quickly put away all the sadness and sadness.
She turned her eyes and glanced at Feng Lingsu lightly, and said with a smile, "The imperial concubine is really in a hurry. Before she became a queen, she put on a phoenix robe. I don't know that the old minister of Yushitai is wearing such clothes. How would they write the scriptures?"
Zhao Shuhua's tone was light, not even mocking. She was very plain, so plain that a queen of a country would not mind a low-rank concubine wearing a palace gown embroidered with a phoenix pattern. This is really unusual.
But at this moment, Feng Lingsu couldn't feel this kind of unusualness. She felt guilty and humiliated at the same time.
Zhao Shuhua was originally standing at the front, and at this moment there were only two or three people left on the tower, and those who wanted to watch for a while, seeing the empress and concubine talking, didn't dare to stay longer and walked quickly down the tower , In this way, only the two of them were left on the huge tower.
Feng Lingsu has been depressed for many years. Now that the queen has been grounded for many days and the prince has been suppressed, she is still sharp-tongued. Feng Lingsu is really unfair.
"The empress is really calm, I'm afraid you don't know, even the voice of the abolished prince came out in the court, I am really worried for the empress, you can do something, but..." Feng Lingsu glanced away The little eunuch at the office said, "But wait a minute, you have to go back to Kunning Palace, I don't know when you will come out next time."
Zhao Shuhua laughed suddenly, she turned around, and looked at Feng Lingsu intently, clearly not mocking, but when her eyes fell on Feng Lingsu's face, Feng Lingsu always felt guilty. , she straightened her back and raised her jaw, "What are you looking at?!"
Zhao Shuhua smiled slightly, looking into Feng Lingsu's eyes, "Guess what makes you able to sit on the imperial concubine position for many years?"
Feng Lingsu's words just now were provocative enough, even saying the words "waste prince", but Zhao Shuhua was not angry at all, not only not angry, but even asked an irrelevant question, Feng Lingsu Su tried her best to keep herself calm, her eyes showed a bit of arrogance, "Back then in the palace, the prince loved me the most, and it hasn't changed for so many years, what does the empress think this is?"
Zhao Shuhua laughed happily, the laughter was light and sweet, as if she had heard some joke.
Feng Lingsu had always been inferior in front of Zhao Shuhua. At this moment, her scalp was numb from her laughter, and she couldn't help but said anxiously, "What are you laughing at? This is a well-known thing, has the Queen forgotten it?"
Zhao Shuhua's laughter gradually stopped, but the corners of her lips were still raised high. There was no mockery in her eyes, only full of pity.
"At the beginning, the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion was regarded as the hands of the family in the capital, and the prince was just trying to win over the Duke of Zhongguo. Your temperament was impulsive and aggressive, so the prince followed you three points. The prince has loved her all his life, Feng Lingsu, you are so stupid."
"You—" Feng Lingsu's complexion changed drastically, and his eyes swept around very quickly!
She is a noble concubine, even if she is not as high as the queen, she will never allow the queen to say this about herself, she is afraid that if others hear her words, she will hurt her face, but when she looked around, she saw no one around her. Don't worry, if Zhao Shuhua speaks well, she will only be sarcasm, but Zhao Shuhua's words are so merciless, Feng Lingsu has nothing to fear! After all, Zhao Shuhua will return to Kunning Palace as a prisoner later!
"Why do you say that! Ha, I know, you are jealous! Jealous of the emperor's kindness to me for a hundred years! You and I were the first to enter the palace, but the emperor has been to your Kunning Palace all these years ?! Have you ever stayed overnight?! The emperor only has me in his heart! What if you are a queen?! Isn’t your current fate enough to explain the problem?! Your precious son has also been grounded! Do you know what this means? " Feng Lingsu sneered, looking like a winner, "Zhao Shuhua, you are so arrogant, you are the most pitiful person in this palace! Your Kunning Palace is like a cold palace, you have to If you don't get the emperor's love and affection, you are really a miserable woman!"
The more Feng Lingsu spoke, the more she relieved her anger, and the more she spoke, the more joyful she felt. She felt like she had said these few words that had suppressed her anger for half her life, and she almost wanted to laugh out loud.
However, Zhao Shuhua was not angry at all. She looked at Feng Lingsu quietly, her eyes were high and pitiful, as if she was watching a lunatic going crazy. Panicked, as if she had really committed some stupidity.
Zhao Shuhua suddenly said, "The prince will not love you, because you are not worthy at all."
Zhao Shuhua's tone was light, indifferent, without any aggressive intentions, but it was able to stab Feng Lingsu hard in the heart.
Feng Lingsu clenched her fists and became short of breath. She looked at Zhao Shuhua in disbelief, and she didn't seem to know what Zhao Shuhua meant. She found it absurd and ridiculous, "Me? I don't deserve it?" She pointed with trembling fingers. To myself, "I think you are unworthy! For so many years, how have I served the emperor conscientiously, how have I cared about the emperor? My heart is all for the emperor, but what about you? Your son is paving the way, you have long wanted your son to replace the emperor, even if the emperor has made him the crown prince, you still don't give up, you just hope that the emperor will die tomorrow—"
After saying this in a hurry, Feng Lingsu felt a chill down her spine, how could she say such a thing as the emperor's death? !
Even if it is said that Zhao Shuhua hoped, it would be disrespectful for the emperor to say that...
Seeing Feng Lingsu's terrified expression when he felt that he had slipped his words, Zhao Shuhua smiled happily, "You are right about this point."
Her tone was extremely slow, and she was calm and composed. Feng Lingsu's eyes widened when she heard this. Even if the queen has been neglected for many years, she is the original match of the emperor's grace, and after all, there are more than 20 years of love between husband and wife , how could she just admit it happily? !
Feng Lingsu felt that Zhao Shuhua had changed, "You...are you crazy!"
Zhao Shuhua sighed and looked at her, "You said you were all about him, but you were still deceived, Feng Lingsu, when you go underground in the future, you may be ashamed to see him."
Feng Lingsu felt that there was a roar in her ears, and she could hear every word of Zhao Shuhua clearly, but she didn't understand how to connect it into a sentence.
Crazy... Zhao Shuhua is really crazy... She was grounded and went crazy...
What do you mean she was cheated? What do you mean she would have no face to see him when she went underground
Who is he? If it was about the emperor, why didn't she just call it out, and the meaning of what she said seemed to be saying that the emperor was dead.
But the emperor is clearly alive and well... But if it's not about the emperor, then who should be talking about
Feng Lingsu's hair stood on end, and he was sweating profusely, as if he had been possessed by a demon.
Zhao Shuhua saw her expression changed drastically, she shook her head with a smile and was about to go down the tower, but Feng Lingsu suddenly grabbed her, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by what you said just now?! What is under the ground?" I have no face to see him, who do I have no face to see?!"
Feng Lingsu held Zhao Shuhua's sleeve tightly. Zhao Shuhua looked at her indifferently for a moment, and seeing that she was in a panic, she undoubtedly broke off her hand from her sleeve, and Feng Lingsu was pushed away. After opening, she took a step back, watched Zhao Shuhua gracefully and luxuriously walk down the tower, and watched the little eunuch beside Huang Dian follow her, she knew that the little eunuch was urging Zhao Shuhua to go back to Kun Ninggong's.
Zhao Shuhua was about to be locked up again, but Feng Lingsu couldn't care less about being happy. She didn't know what Zhao Shuhua's weird words meant.
The cold wind whizzed past, and Feng Lingsu's palm was covered with thin sweat. A thought appeared in her heart, but when she saw the outline of the thought through the thick fog, she was completely frightened. Dare not to think too much, didn't dare to think deeply, she turned around and supported the wall in front of her, panting heavily, the cold wind sucked into her mouth and she coughed violently, when Yan Qi came up, Feng Lingsu coughed and her face turned red.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Lingsu's cheeks were flushed, and when she heard Yan Qi's voice, she grabbed Yan Qi's arm excitedly.
Yan Qi had never seen Feng Lingsu like this before, and was immediately startled, "Mother Concubine, what's wrong with you?"
"The Queen said..." Feng Lingsu stopped after saying only three words. She was stunned, and suddenly turned her head to look at the direction Yan Zhen's wedding car was leaving. What came out of her heart was more panic, she held Yan Qi's arm tightly, her whole body began to tremble, "No..."
Feng Lingsu has always been fragile, but Yan Qi knew that his mother and concubine had the scheming and means that he should have. He had never seen Feng Lingsu panic like this before. He grabbed Feng Lingsu's hands and slammed Shaking her gently, "Concubine Mu, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Lingsu seemed to have been shaken awake, her whole expression lifted, she looked at Yan Qi fixedly, and swallowed hard a few times, as if trying to swallow back all the words that were about to blurt out, "No, it's nothing... Just now the queen... the queen said something outrageous."
Yan Qi raised her eyebrows, "What did she say?"
Feng Lingsu lowered her eyes, "She said... your father doesn't really love me..."
The corners of Yanqi's mouth twitched, his mother and concubine were used to being weak, and she always acted like a little girl in front of the emperor, but why did the queen argue with her mother and concubine about these things, Yan Qi felt helpless, "Queen I am not favored by myself, no matter how much you are better than her, concubine mother, go down, it is too cold here."
Feng Lingsu's hands were icy to the bone, she nodded, and walked under the tower with Yan Qi's support.
Yan Qi supported Feng Lingsu, most of Feng Lingsu's strength was leaning on him, Yan Qi frowned slightly, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became, he always felt that today's matter was more than that simple,
"Mother, what did the queen say?"
Feng Lingsu waved his hand, "It's nothing, take me back to the palace, I might have caught the wind."
Feng Lingsu's palms were filled with cold sweat, Yan Qi didn't dare to be careless when he saw this, and hurriedly sent Feng Lingsu back to Changxin Palace.
Yan Qi originally wanted to stay with Feng Lingsu for a while, but Feng Lingsu refused to let him stay, "Go and do your work, I'll take a nap."
Yan Qi had no choice but to leave first. Once Yan Qi left, how could Feng Lingsu sleep
Feng Lingsu entered the inner room and leaned on the bed in a daze. Every word the queen said echoed clearly in her mind. , "Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned to Chongzheng Hall from Shoukang Palace, and the pear soup has been stewed. When do you plan to send it over?"
Feng Lingsu only saw Baodie's mouth opening and closing, but she couldn't hear what she was saying clearly. She vaguely heard the word "Sydney Soup", and she suddenly remembered the Sydney Soup she stewed. After eating, but he used to be so sweet
Feng Lingsu waved his hands and fell on the bed, "I won't go, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'll lie down for a while."
Baodie immediately became worried when she heard the words, "Madam, can I invite the imperial physician for you?"
Feng Lingsu continued to wave his hands, "No... no need, let me be alone for a while..."
Baodie stepped back when she heard the words, Feng Lingsu pulled the brocade quilt over her body, but her body couldn't help shaking.
…
…
In the Shoukang Palace, Yan Li looked at the reddish eyes of the Empress Dowager and felt distressed, "Don't be sad, you will always marry someone. Prince Tuoba has a very good character, so don't worry."
The Queen Mother sighed, "Hey, I don't know how Prince Tuoba will treat her, we are thousands of miles away, if she treats her badly, how will we know?"
Yan Li shook his head helplessly, while Chen Momo quickly walked in from the outside and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and His Highness the Crown Prince have all gone back, the Emperor has no plans to lift the restraint..."
The queen mother was taken aback when she heard the words, and then sighed for a while, "He... why did he do this!"
Yan Li didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say, "You should take a rest first, you caught a cold just now, we will talk about these things later, okay?"
The queen mother could only nod her head, and quickly stopped Yan Li and said, "You are in the official department, staring at the princes, if the emperor... oh forget it, you don't care, you go..."
Yan Li smiled wryly, he probably knew what the Empress Dowager would order, but obviously he was not suitable for these things, no matter what the emperor had in mind, his subjects would not know, let alone him? Yan Li comforted the Queen Mother for a while before leaving the main hall.
As soon as he left the main hall, Yan Li saw Yan Sui at a glance, Yan Li smiled, hugged Yan Sui and said, "Are you still going to school today?"
Yan Sui shook his head, "The fifth sister is getting married today, so I won't go."
Today is Yan Zhen's wedding, and there will be a big banquet in the palace in the evening, so Yan Sui can take the opportunity to be lazy.
Yan Li hugged him and walked out, "Then I'll take you to the yamen!"
Yan Sui immediately struggled when he heard this, "No, no, I have to wait for Sister Qin Wan to enter the palace."
Yan Li stopped, "Huh? What are you waiting for her to enter the palace?"
Yan Sui lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wait for her to enter the palace and play with me..."
Yan Li let out a hey, "You little white-eyed wolf, can't I take you with me?"
Yan Sui was still struggling, Yan Li had no choice but to put him down, Yan Sui looked at Yan Li and said, "Grandmother said you have an errand right now, so I won't be clinging to you forever, so I won't be clinging to you forever..."
Yan Li was helpless when he heard the words, "Tsk tsk, you are sensible."
Yan Sui straightened her chest, "Because I'm not a child anymore."
Yan Li was taken aback by Yan Sui's words, as if he was a little too childish.
Yan Li sighed and said, "Okay, okay, then you wait, I'm going to the yamen, and I'll come to you at night."
Yan Sui nodded heavily, and watched Yan Li leave. As soon as Yan Li left, Yan Sui waited eagerly for Qin Wan to enter the palace, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see Qin Wan enter the palace. He couldn't help but feel very disappointed in his heart. After too long, Yue Ning and Yan Ze arrived. These days, Yue Ning and Yan Ze came here quite a lot, Yan Sui didn't recognize his birth, but he was not familiar with them, so he became cautious for a while, the Queen Mother at this time While sleeping at noon, Yue Ning and Yan Ze teased Yan Sui.
Yan Sui lowered her head and didn't say much. Not long after, Yue Ning heard that the Queen Mother had woken up, so she went to the inner room to see the Queen Mother first. For a while, only Yan Ze and Yan Sui were left together. Yan Ze said gently, " Is Princess Yongci not entering the palace today?"
Yan Sui shook his head, "I don't know."
Yan Ze said again, "She hasn't been to the palace for several days to see my eye disease."
Yan Sui looked curiously at Yan Ze's eyes, which were tied with a medical towel. In fact, he had been curious for a long time, but every time there were many people, he was too embarrassed to look at them. At this moment, only he and Yan Ze were in front of him, so Yan Sui Can look openly, "Can't your eyes see?"
Yan Ze nodded, "Yes, I can't see it."
In this way, Yan Sui relaxed even more. He sat loosely next to the beauty under the eaves, with a sad face on his face, "I thought she was going to enter the palace, but why hasn't she come yet... she Where did you go?"
Yan Ze smiled gently, "Could it be that she has other cases to investigate? Do you know that she is extremely good at investigating cases besides her medical skills?"
Yan Sui didn't quite understand, but thinking of Qin Wan helping him find the murderer who killed his mother and concubine, he admired Qin Wan very much.
Yan Sui nodded his head, his eyes brightened, "I know..."
"You actually know?" Yan Ze smiled innocently, "She is a very smart person."
"Well, she's very smart." Master Yan Sui praised Qin Wan like a young adult.
The corners of Yan Ze's lips curled up, but he didn't say any more, Yan Ze lay down for a while in boredom, when he heard the Empress Dowager get up, he hurried in, he got up, Yan Ze also got up and followed him inside, run quickly At the door, Yan Sui turned around, but saw Yan Ze following up step by step, he asked curiously, "Aren't your eyes blind?"
Yan Ze smiled, "Blind eyes, not blind mind, I am very familiar with this journey."
Yan Sui let out an "oh", entered the Nuan Pavilion and threw herself into the arms of the Empress Dowager.
…
…
It's true that Qin Wan is not busy recently, but just full of thoughts.
The investigation of the corpse case in Prince Jin's Mansion was in vain, but the information given by the queen made her and Yan Chi suspect that she was the current emperor, which made Qin Wan feel uneasy all the time.
Qin Wan was going to enter the palace this day. Yan Zhen's wedding ceremony was in the morning, and she could only enter the palace in the afternoon. However, when her carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, she unexpectedly saw the same face entering the palace at this time. Holy Li Muyun.
It has been a long time since she was found following Li Muyun last time, and Qin Wan never met Li Muyun again, but she knew that Li Muyun went to check the file of Ning Buyi's case, and found out that it was Sun Muqing who bought Shen's house. I'm afraid he also knows about Sun Muqing's relationship with her.
Li Muyun was also a little surprised to see Qin Wan, and his expression quickly became serious.
Qin Wan stood there calmly, and Li Muyun had no choice but to salute her, "Meet the princess."
Qin Wan waved his hand, "What is the purpose of Mr. Li entering the palace today?"
Li Muyun lowered his eyes and said, "Recently there have been several corruption cases on Northwest Road, and the case files have been sent to Dali Temple for verification. I believe the princess should know about it."
Of course Qin Wan knew that these cases were all related to Shuo Xijun.
Qin Wan smiled, "Oh? I don't know who is the most corrupt besides Zhang Qide?"
Li Muyun looked at Qin Wan with a complicated look on his face. What happened on the Northwest Road was no secret, but Qin Wan didn't go to court, so it wasn't surprising that he didn't know, but when she came to ask herself, the meaning was different. Li Muyun sighed Tone, "This is a court event, it doesn't matter if the princess knows it or not."
Qin Wan smiled, "Naturally, but the last time I asked Master Li a question, Master Li still hasn't answered."
The two were at the gate of the palace, not far from the imperial guards, Li Muyun's face changed slightly, and the corners of his lips were pursed tightly.
Qin Wan saw his fear, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Master Li didn't answer me last time, what evidence of Master Shen's crimes was written on the memorial to expose Master Shen, so that the emperor thinks that Master Shen is protecting King Jin?" ?”
Li Muyun narrowed his eyes, his expression a bit serious. He was originally a thin person, and his brows and eyes looked even more sparse and cold. At the moment, his complexion was slightly gloomy, and he was quite intimidating, but Qin Wan was not afraid at all. She looked at Li Muyun calmly, "Could it be Mr. Li?" Feel ashamed?"
Li Muyun frowned, "I don't know what the princess is talking about."
Qin Wan immediately laughed when he heard the words, "Although Mr. Li did not participate as much as Mr. Shen in this case, he still knew the inside story. Mr. Li should know very well whether King Jin was wronged and whether he killed anyone. But you In the end, he exposed his immediate boss who supported him, Master Li really did anything to get promoted."
Qin Wan deliberately provoked him with this. Although Li Muyun's complexion became a little paler, he still didn't speak, as if no matter what Qin Wan said, he recognized it.
"It seems that I didn't take my warning to the princess seriously last time." Li Muyun said suddenly.
Li Muyun had told her not to touch this case before, at that time Qin Wan was indeed surprised and felt that this was probably Li Muyun's cover-up excuse, but when she and Yan Chi got the inference that the emperor was related to this case, and then listened to Li Muyun's words, she Then I felt a chill down my back.
What does Li Muyun know? ! Why did you warn her like this? !
"Master Li has to give a reason anyway. Master Li has also been in charge of prisons for many years. He should understand that sometimes a person's curiosity is aroused. No matter whether there is danger ahead, he will want to find out one or two things. , the truth is sometimes more attractive than anything else."
Li Muyun frowned even tighter, "Whether it's the princess's intention or His Royal Highness's, I advise the princess not to worry about this matter."
Qin Wan raised his eyebrows, and Li Muyun said bluntly, "Otherwise, the destruction of the Shen family will be a lesson for the past."
After saying this, Li Muyun took a step back, bowed to Qin Wan respectfully, then straightened up and strode away.
When Qin Wan came back to his senses, Li Muyun had already walked more than ten steps.
Qin Guan stared at Li Muyun's back, almost certain that Li Muyun must know something!
He told himself not to pursue the case of Prince Jin, otherwise the Shen family's extermination case would be a lesson for others. So, his father found evidence that Jin Wang was not the murderer, which led to the Shen family's extermination? ! Qin Wan's eyes were cold, yes, it must be like this! Father must have found the proof!
But his father ran away with the Shen family members, which showed that his father knew the real culprit, but the real culprit was too powerful for his father to resist, so he chose such a seemingly absurd path, who could make his father so frightened
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. Without the emperor, who else can scare a father who is not afraid of power
But this... is too bizarre...
Why did the emperor want to kill Concubine Jin? !
Qin Wan's heart was flustered for a moment, and Bai Ying came forward not far away, "Princess, are you not entering the palace?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "I won't enter the palace anymore, let's go find Prince Rui."
After getting into the carriage, Qin Wan's heart was still beating violently. Li Muyun's words were both a warning and a threat, but he didn't know it yet. The concubine's death is directly related to the emperor, but why? !
Any act of murder and arson will have a motive, because the emperor can never make a mistake for a while, or kill him just because Concubine Jin is angered by a trivial matter. Not only that, the murder charge falls on King Jin, and Shen His family was wiped out, just thinking about it, Qin Wan felt that there must be an earth-shattering conspiracy hidden behind it.
…
…
When Yan Chi returned to Prince Rui's mansion, it was already dark. Tonight there was a banquet for the officials in the palace. He naturally needed to go to the banquet. When he came back from the banquet, he found out that Qin Wan had been waiting for her in the mansion for more than half a day. Yan Chi hurriedly said, "But what happened?"
Qin Wan shook his head, told about the encounter with Li Muyun, and told Yanchi exactly what Li Muyun said, and then said, "Is that what we inferred? Father must have found the key to the King Jin case, or directly found the key to the King Jin case." The murderer who killed Concubine Jin was someone else, and then the Shen family was wiped out."
Yan Chi frowned, "But what role did Li Muyun play in it?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet, maybe there is some misunderstanding, or Li Muyun also has some purpose. Right now, I'm just thinking about what evidence or clues my father found, and what made him feel that he should take it with him. The family fled."
Thinking of this, both Qin Wan and Yan Chi fell into deep thought. After a while, Qin Wan and Yan Chi suddenly looked at each other.
"The murder weapon?!"
"That dagger!"
The two spoke almost in unison, and their eyes lit up at the same time!
At the same time, they corroborated their own guesses and affirmed the other party's guesses!
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "But my father interrogated King Jin many times by himself. Could it be that time, King Jin couldn't help but tell me about changing the dagger? Then my father followed the clues provided by King Jin to find took the dagger, and as a result, my father found out that the dagger belonged to the emperor! So... "
Qin Wan also felt that something was wrong when she said this, because she always felt that even if she found out that it belonged to the emperor, her father would not take the whole family away from the capital together. Qin Wan felt that her thinking was right, but still I feel that there is still a gap, and Yan Chi also has the same doubts.
"Based on my father's temperament, even if the dagger belongs to the emperor, he will probably believe that there is some misunderstanding in it, and he is most likely to hold the dagger to confront him instead of leaving with his family. The way my father looked at that time was just It seemed that he was in great trouble, if we didn't leave, Shen's residence would be besieged in another quarter of an hour, and it was true afterwards, but it was impossible for father to know what was going on in the palace, he just did it himself first It's just a judgment, and my father's evaluation of the emperor is very high, in his heart, the emperor did not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Yan Chi said, "I have one thing here too."
Qin Wan hurriedly stopped talking and looked at Yan Chi, Yan Chi said, "I checked Xuanji Pavilion, an old eunuch in Xuanji Pavilion said that before the accident last year, Concubine Jin used to go to Xuanji Pavilion to borrow calligraphy and paintings frequently, originally this was not true. What is it, but the old eunuch said that it was very strange that Concubine Jin still wanted to look for the emperor's paintings before he ascended the throne."
Qin Wan frowned, but didn't realize it for a while, "That's a painting from twenty years ago."
"Yes, the emperor was good at calligraphy, painting and chess before he came to the throne, but there are not many paintings preserved at that time. After all, it has been so many years, and the emperor rewards, and the old paintings are rarely rewarded, so the old eunuch's request to Concubine Jin vivid memory."
Qin Wan was stunned. Even if Concubine Jin admired the emperor's paintings, there was no reason to take out the paintings from more than 20 years ago.
"Can you still find the old paintings?"
Yan Chi shook his head, "I can't find it. When Concubine Jin was buried, the emperor buried those old paintings together, but there should be some earlier paintings in Xuanji Pavilion."
Qin Wan felt that something was not right, she stood up and paced around the room for a while, "It's still not right, the problem should be on those old paintings."
But the old paintings were buried with Concubine Jin. Although the emperor was very annoyed by the rumors about Concubine Jin and King Jin, he still gave a lot of honor when Concubine Jin was buried. All the old paintings were buried with him, which seemed very affectionate...
"Those paintings were all painted before the emperor ascended the throne. What can they prove? It doesn't depend on whether the emperor's painting skills have improved."
Qin Wan muttered, Yan Chi suddenly asked, "Could it be for comparison?"
"Comparison? Compare painting skills?" Qin Wan asked subconsciously.
Yan Chi shook his head, "No, it should be something else..."
Qin Wan frowned, "It's impossible... The emperor's previous paintings were drawn by others? Or the later paintings were written by ghostwriters?"
For Qin Wan, the comparison of paintings between the old and new periods is not just a comparison of painting skills? Or compare whether the two paintings were painted by the same person!
However, once these words came out, not to mention Qin Wan himself, Yan Chi didn't really believe it, "The emperor and Concubine Jin often paint together, if they are ghostwriters, how can they escape Concubine Jin's eyes?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, maybe it has nothing to do with Concubine Jin's death, Concubine Jin just took the painting for appreciation, it's just a coincidence."
There is no evidence, all the inferences can be established or overthrown, but there is one thing Qin Wan is sure of, "The queen must know something, and Li Muyun also knows that one of them once wanted to save King Jin, but the other was framed and framed." The Shen family..."
Having said that, Yan Chi said, "Did Mr. Shen know about Li Muyun's framing, and that's why he left?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "Impossible. If Li Muyun was the one who framed him, my father would definitely stay in the capital to argue with Li Muyun, and he would never want to leave directly."
Shen Yi is a direct minister, with his own strong bones. If it is not a last resort, he will not use walking as the best strategy. However, Qin Wan and Yan Chi are always one step away from the truth. Frustrated and guilty for not being able to discover the crux of the Prince Jin case, she thought for a while and said, "I asked Senior Brother Sun, and he said that he didn't find any suspicious people around his house recently, so I think maybe Li Muyun didn't." Focus on him."
Yan Chi nodded, "I've already sent someone to guard him. The area around Shen's house is indeed very safe recently. Do you want to go to Lizhong?"
Qin Wan said "Mmm", "Yes, if it drags on, it will be the Chinese New Year. Last year I only burned some joss sticks. This year, I will go to worship at the tombs of my parents."
