"I feel relieved knowing that Chief Xie and Vice General Qi are sincerely friends." Mr. Gu said calmly, "After all, Vice General Qi is Quanzi's savior. Although Quanzi has passed away, this has nothing to do with Vice General Qi, nor does I." I hope that like the late Xie Jiangshi, he was treated kindly by Master Xie and died inexplicably."
Temple monarchs and ministers: "...???!!!"
Many people didn't know who Xie Jiang was at all. It was only after Mr. Gu added a sentence that they realized: "Xie Jiang is the direct cousin and wife of Master Xie. She married into the Xie family shortly after the imperial concubine entered the palace. Because she is the biological niece of Mrs. Jiang, the mistress of the Xie family, she is deeply loved by her elders and respected by her peers before and after marriage. Even the imperial concubine, she loves and cares for Xie Jiang family and constantly rewards her. Even after Xie Jiang family became pregnant, Imperial doctors were sent many times to ask for pulse... "
Old Mrs. Gu turned his head and stared at Xie Xiaoyu, who could not control his pale face. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved and his eyes were malicious, and he said every word, "Originally, the two generations of Jiang's daughters all had prosperous heirs, and few had dystocia. Who knew that Xie Xiaoyu could not help but turn pale?" During the pregnancy, Mr. Jiang obviously had a considerate and loving husband, attentive servants, and the imperial concubine sent people to inquire about her day and night... It was so comfortable that Mrs. Xie Jiang was supposed to be in good health. Otherwise, given Mrs. Jiang's shrewdness and understanding of her, How can I be willing to wrong my own flesh and blood for the importance of my own heir, even if it is my biological niece? Why, shouldn't something happen?"
"Indeed, when my cousin was pregnant, everyone felt that even though a woman gave birth with half her foot in the coffin, there are many people throughout the ages, and it is impossible for everyone to encounter dangerous situations." Hearing that this was wrong, Xie Xiaoyu forced herself to calm down and said in a deep voice, "Later, my cousin and her children were gone, and my subordinates were devastated. After observing their filial piety, the elders made the decision to marry Cui's daughter as their second wife... If Mrs. Gu thinks that the lower official has plotted to kill his wife, it would be too arbitrary!"
After all, he was not from a high background and his status had not always been high, so he did not dare to say more.
On the other hand, his teacher Cui Wan rudely mentioned Yin Qu at this moment: "If we go by what the old man said, is it possible that Concubine Wen Huixian had an ulterior motive for going there?! Or does Master Gu think that Concubine Wen Huixian was affected by the pregnancy when she was pregnant? Your care is not careful enough?"
Ignoring Yin Qu's anger, he reminded his colleague with a sneer, "Master Yin, this is the Queen's direct grandfather! Now that he is saying this, is it possible that he knows something? After all, at that time, His Majesty was busy with government affairs and the harem was The concubines are all taken care of by the Queen!"
In fact, although the queen was born in a high-ranking family, because she had no successors, her reputation was far inferior to that of the Yin family.
In addition, Gu Zhen is not the kind of master who is very resourceful. How can he suppress Yin Xiang and others who just missed the chance to succeed
Therefore, after several pregnancies, Yin Xiang said that the queen was taking care of her. In fact, the queen only sent people to send some things and express condolences occasionally to show off. Yin Xiang had her own dowry to serve her. During the pregnancy, the palace was extremely vigilant. How can we tolerate the Queen's gesticulation if she jumps at every sign of trouble
In general, Gu Zhen is just a name.
However, as the middle palace, the queen would have to take care of any concubine who was pregnant.
At this time, Cui Wan brought up the matter of Yin Xiang's death. Although Yin Qu was annoyed that he brought up his own pain in public, he thought that he was in the same camp and asked coldly: "Dare you ask Mr. Gu, was there anything wrong with my daughter when she was in the palace?" Is it a suitable place?"
"There are indeed some people in this world who are not related to their relatives." Mr. Gu said slowly with a cold expression, "Since Xie Jiang was highly valued during his lifetime but died in childbirth, it is indeed inappropriate to suspect Mr. Xie of plotting to murder his wife. But , since I said so, there is certainly evidence!"
Hearing this, there was an uproar throughout the temple!
Cui Wan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously looked at Xie Xiaoyu. Xie Xiaoyu lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly. He only said in a deep voice: "Absurd!"
Not far away, Yin Qu was attentive and noticed that his sleeves were trembling slightly. He didn't know whether it was because he was angry or guilty.
Yin Qu's thoughts turned around and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. He glanced around and winked at the little chamberlain in the corner.
The young chamberlain was very sensible and immediately turned around and left, presumably to inform Concubine Min in the harem.
But Yin Qu was not optimistic about the consequences of this matter. The main reason was that Concubine Min probably didn't know about it at all!
Although he didn't like Yun Fenghuang very much, since he entrusted her to his biological grandson, he certainly thought that he had some understanding of the character of the imperial concubine.
Yun Fenghuang was indeed ruthless, but he was known to be kind to his own people.
Especially Xie Jiangshi and Yun Fenghuang are not only direct cousins, they have been friends since childhood, and they are even close to each other... This kind of relationship, unless Xie Jiangshi eats and sells out Yunfenghuang, Yunfenghuang will never allow Xie Xiaoyu The one who murdered Xie Jiang!
It is very possible that Xie Xiaoyu did this without telling Yun Fenghuang!
The imperial concubine knew nothing, but Mr. Gu came prepared. In addition, the imperial concubine didn't even have a reason to go to the palace, so what else could she do
Sure enough, despite denying it, Xie Xiaoyu was still defeated in front of all the evidence presented by Mr. Gu, especially when two young women with slim faces and earth-colored faces were brought to the back of the palace. land!
Who doesn't know that his performance is irrefutable
Sure enough, after the two young women bowed cautiously, when asked by Mr. Gu, they cried and confessed in public: "The slave sisters are all the daughters of Aunt An..."
The so-called daughter is actually just a fake girl bought and used as a prostitute.
Aunt An is naturally the Madam. She was originally a prostitute. After she grew old and lost her beauty, she lost her business, so she relied on her own discernment to buy young girls and train them, teach singing and dancing, and develop their figures. When they grow up, Open for retirement.
Women who come from a place like this know how to be humble and humble. How can they dare to show off their inner thoughts when they are already in front of the emperor? Everything about pouring beans directly through bamboo tubes is explained:
It is said that a regular customer reserved the courtyard to entertain distinguished guests, namely Concubine Min's brother Xie Xiaoyu.
When Xie Xiaoyu was in Beidi, there were no rumors of being a womanizer, but this was mainly because he was young and the Jiang family kept a close eye on him and did not allow him to mess around. After the wedding, he and his wife were in love, so they didn't think much about it. In fact, the vigorous young man, who was not very resistant to the temptation of beauty, has since become a frequent visitor to their yard. However, Xie Xiaoyu was not interested in the two sisters, but the fake girl who was adopted by Aunt An along with them.
Of course, with Xie Xiaoyu's financial resources, he cannot actually support the cost of maintaining a secret prostitute of this level, but who told him to have a powerful sister
For Concubine Min's sake, many people were willing to pay for him.
All in all, the prostitute has been serving Xie Xiaoyu for a few days. It doesn't matter if you agree with me, but who would have expected that Xie Jiang would notice the clues
If the Xie family members, such as Xiao Chen and Xiao Luo, notice it, they may make a fuss and get sulky, but forget it, and they may even take the initiative to help them get in.
After all, the daughters of these families were considered equal to the Xie family at first. However, since the Xie family gave birth to a queen, they were rarely compared to each other, but how could they dare to continue to be on an equal footing with their husbands
Especially since Xie Jiang had no heirs at that time!
The problem is that she has no heirs, but she has her biological aunt and the noble concubine cousin she grew up with, who are all on her side.
So Xie Jiangshi was not afraid of Xie Xiaoyu at all and started making trouble. Even after hearing this, Concubine Min stood by Xie Jiangshi and helped teach Xie Xiaoyu a lesson... This matter ended up with the secret prostitute kept by Xie Xiaoyu and An. The aunt was beaten to death, but the two women who came out to serve as witnesses managed to escape by relying on regular customers with some status!
Xie Xiaoyu himself suffered from the concubine's scolding, Jiang's handwritten instructions, and Xie Jiang's cynicism.
Of course Xie Xiaoyu was very unhappy with this result, but he also knew in his heart that he could not afford to offend anyone, whether it was his mother or his sister.
Furthermore, they were related by blood, and Xie Xiaoyu had not yet reached the point of truly disowning her relatives.
But that's not the case with Xie Jiang. Although this person is a cousin, she can be considered related by blood, but at this time, according to the clan concept, the same surname is a family, and a different surname is an outsider after all. In addition, this outsider's ignorance and jealousy caused him to be in such a mess. When Xie Xiaoyu was at home, he was not a favored disciple, but when he arrived in the imperial capital, although he was not the most outstanding of the Xie family's children, he was not even the most favored by the imperial concubine. Yes, but I can't help it. He is the closest to the imperial concubine!
Therefore, the flattery he received was even greater than that of Xie Wuzheng.
Xie Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart, and gradually developed a dislike for Xie Jiang.
The two prostitutes were lying on the ground, trembling and talking: "... At that time, the Nu family heard Sister Mei'er mention it by chance, saying... Mr. Xie said privately, if not... If not for marrying Xie Jiang, the broom star. , as long as he is not married yet, how can His Highness Sui'an's consort have any share of Xie's consort now?!"
After saying this, Chunjia on the throne became angry: "You bastard!"
It's just that the emperor finally relaxed his emotions freely, and after the attack, he changed to a normal voice and said, "Keep talking!"
"...Yes!" The two prostitutes continued with cold sweat on their foreheads, "Sister Mei'er wanted to be a good person at that time, so... she persuaded Young Master Xie to discuss with Xie Jiang to redeem her life! And... she also told Young Master Xie Mr. Xie said a lot that his status is no longer what it used to be. Mr. Xie... Mr. Xie seemed to have listened... "
According to common sense, Xie Xiaoyu actually listened.
He was originally just one of the many legitimate sons of a squire family, so his situation was certainly much better than that of the common sons.
But when it comes to scenery, it’s really not my turn.
Even though his biological mother, Mrs. Jiang, was very capable, she had three brothers above her and two younger sisters below.
Among them, Xie Fenghuan, the concubine, was fine, but Yun Fenghuang, his younger sister, went to school with him and shared the same teacher, but kept pushing him down time and time again, which made him even more incompetent.
It's just that there are many Xie family members. Although he is inconspicuous among them, no one wants to please him, so he doesn't feel anything.
After coming to the Imperial Capital, I have come into contact with many more people and things. Do you want to change your mind
Especially during the period in between, the major sects tried to drive a wedge between the Xie family's children, and even made Yun Fenghuang angry.
There are some talented people in the market, even the children of serious and well-known families, can drag them down to become playboys. How difficult is it to persuade him, a brother of a noble concubine with a narrow vision and low qualifications
The ministers exchanged glances and knew in their hearts that Xie Xiaoyu must have murdered his wife.
However, to say that this is all his responsibility, it should not be the case.
He must have been tricked by others.
Even Meier and others, who had initially attracted his attention and were later taken care of by the imperial concubine and Xie Jiangshi, were probably pawns of the real culprit behind the scenes.
After all, although Xie Xiaoyu is easier to deal with due to his background and qualifications, it is also because of his background and qualifications that he cannot easily achieve such decisive killings as Yun Fenghuang and Xie Wuzheng.
He lamented that he was unlucky in life and had married his cousin early, thus missing out on the position of consort; he also resented that Xie Jiang controlled him tightly and was not as obedient and gentle as others outside him...but he may not be willing to kill him easily. .
For most ordinary people, even if they do not consider the consequences of breaking the law, it is often impossible for them to kill a living person, especially a cousin and pillow person who grew up together.
Therefore, Xie Jiang is obviously pregnant, so her energy should be involved in some way. She usually didn't notice the existence of Meier and the others, so why did she find out at that time
It was obvious that the real culprit behind the scenes deliberately let her find out, precisely calculating her reaction and the attitude of the imperial concubine, thus stimulating Xie Xiaoyu to make up her mind!
Think about it, Xie Xiaoyu might have just been jealous of Xie Wuzheng and began to dislike Xie Jiangshi. After this incident, his resentment towards Xie Jiangshi reached a peak, but what about Xie Jiangshi? This mistress is also favored among Jiang's daughters. Her mother-in-law is her biological aunt, and her sister-in-law is a cousin with whom we grew up very close. Will she support Xie Xiaoyu? Will she settle down and compromise? That's impossible.
At this moment, someone reminded Xie Xiaoyu that as long as Xie Jiangshi was around, no matter how powerful he was outside, he would have to be honest in front of Xie Jiangshi when he got home... Can Xie Xiaoyu bear it
If he had just said it nicely like this, he might still be able to bear it.
If Xie Xiaoyu can still bear it if there are two more people fighting and provoking the generals next to him, with this city, Yun Fenghuang doesn't need to worry about his brother's future!
...Although everyone knows that Xie Xiaoyu has been cheated.
But the fact is that he murdered his wife.
If he didn't nod this himself, those people wouldn't be able to break into his house and let Mr. Xie Jiang die in childbirth.
The ministers murmured to each other, looking at him with a look of disdain.
Today's father-in-law Cui Wan is even more pale!
Even Yin Qu, who had formed an alliance with the imperial concubine, turned away expressionlessly, obviously not wanting to make any more efforts for him.
