Zhao Mingchen frowned and looked at Qin Qianman, saw her shake his head, and then asked, "What is the sign?"

In fact, although the court forbade each family to cultivate its own power, it still failed to prohibit it, but it did not exist on the surface. In fact, everyone has their own forces, and they are evenly matched.

The court just turned a blind eye.

"The word Hemu is Hemu, please see it, prince. After Yueniang finished speaking, she stood up and asked the cloth to be lifted off, revealing the soles of the person's feet.

Zhao Mingchen saw it at a glance, looked at Yueniang, and then squinted his eyes.

He actually knew the dead soldiers of the Qin family, and the dead soldiers had a He character tattooed on the soles of their feet. Generally, the dead who cultivate themselves will leave a mark, but the method is different.

He had heard before that the dead soldiers of the Qin family would rather die than be loyal, and they were also known for their heroic deeds. As for how to discern it, rub the soles of their feet with cinnabar, if there is no then it, if there is no then it is not.

Qin Qianman stood up a little nervously, and also saw it at a glance, "This is impossible." She said: "How could the dead soldiers of the Qin family go after you, and I don't know what dead soldiers the Qin family has, how do you know that the Qin family has dead soldiers, and you also know that their logo is on the soles of the feet, or a He character, if you deliberately framed me, or if you tattooed it later, now that the person is also dead, you want to die without proof." Qin Qianman quibbled.

"But I didn't say that you sent someone to hunt me down, why are you so nervous?" Yueniang glanced at her lightly and said, "Could it be that Miss Qin is weak-hearted?"

"I have a weak heart, why should I have a weak heart. Prince, please also check this matter, I don't know that the Qin family has dead soldiers, but I just know that my father and mother are afraid that I will be in danger outside, so they sent people to protect me, I don't know that they are not ordinary soldiers but dead soldiers. And I haven't seen this person at all, so they said that it was from the Qin family, which made Qian Man feel aggrieved. Qin Qianman can only rely on the prince at this time, hoping that the prince can believe her.

Zhao Mingchen is the most suspicious person, and his suspicions are no less than those of the emperor, so naturally his mind will turn a few more corners.

"But Yueniang didn't say that you sent someone to hunt me down. Yueniang blinked her eyes and said, "It's strange to say, Yueniang doesn't have any enemies here, I don't know if anyone wants to kill me." ”

"You said that he is a member of the Qin family, then I am a member of the Qin family, isn't your purpose to say that I appointed these people to harm you?" Qin Qianman said disdainfully: "And you said that you have no enemies here, because of negligence, the medicinal materials were dropped and so many people were killed, who knows if there are any people who hate you and want to take revenge." ”

And that makes sense. Yueniang nodded, "It's just that those people who are helpless, have no money and no power, how can they hire these dead soldiers to work for them." And I believe that the prince recognizes the symbol of the He family. ”

Zhao Mingchen looked at Qin Qianman with strange eyes, to be honest, he was suspicious in his heart. Qin Qianman is about to marry herself, and she will naturally be responsible for her safety, but the Qin family still sent the dead man, I don't know what it means.

"Tell me what's going on, Wormman?"

Qin Qianman knew that he was doubting himself, and his eyes suddenly turned red, "Prince, the concubine is wronged, it must be Yueniang who framed me." ”

Yueniang raised her eyebrows, "You said I framed you, but why should I frame you, and joke with my own life, and Xiaoxi was injured in order to save me, it doesn't seem worth it." ”

"Of course that's not what I'm talking about, it may be true that someone kidnapped you, but it's very likely that you can't find the murderer, so it's absolutely possible to find someone to get a tattoo and say it's my Qin family's business. ”

Yueniang nodded, as if she thought she had some truth, "It's better to let people check it and see how long this tattoo has been tattooed, if it is a new tattoo, it will definitely be different from the old tattoo." ”

"You !!" Qin Qianman clenched his fists, sweating in his palms.

Zhao Mingchen glanced at her, then called someone to identify it, and finally said that it had been tattooed for at least three years. This time, Qin Qianman acquiesced, and denied it with red eyes, "Prince, prince, you have to believe me, it's really not me, how can I do that." Although I don't like Yueniang very much, but I don't want to put her to death, prince, you have to believe me, someone must be trying to frame me. Qin Qianman said as he spoke, and the tears of the bean fell down, and the people who looked at it looked pitiful.

"I don't know if I framed you, and I don't know why you wanted me to die, these may only be known to the person concerned. In any case, the evidence is here, and everything is up to the prince's judgment. Yueniang said respectfully.

Before, they suspected that Hua Xi was here, but Hua Xi did save her life.

Presumably, these two people in front of him are the ones he can't trust.

And she knows Qin Qianman, even if her sister who has accompanied her since she was a child fell into the water, she can not save her and watch her die. Not to mention how much she hates herself, she must wish she was dead.

"This matter, you can't make a rash conclusion, no matter what, Yueniang, this matter has wronged you. I will contact the people of the Qin family to ask what is going on, and there may be any deviations, so it is not easy for us to make a conclusion immediately. Zhao Mingchen was obviously partial to Qin Qianman, even if he had already decided in his heart that Qin Qianman did this, but after all, it still depended on the face of the Qin family.

But his attitude towards Qin Qianman was obviously different, he couldn't allow such a vicious and bad woman to stay by his side. But you can't offend the Qin family, after all, the Qin family has always supported them, and they can't affect the relationship between the two families because of Qin Qianman alone.

If it weren't for those rumors from the outside world, he really wanted to marry Qin Wucian directly, and he could be regarded as giving the Qin family an explanation. Anyway, they are all daughters of the Qin family, so it's good to have one.

It's just that this rumor must not be believed, and it is easy to arouse public indignation.

Just look at how those people treated Yueniang some time ago, although this period of time has calmed down, but it is only for now, after all, this matter has spread to the capital, and the people in other places are also very angry.

Although the prince deliberately wants to protect Yueniang, after all, he has nothing to do with Yueniang now, and he can't cause too much loss because of her. And Qin Qianman is not very good, and she is also the daughters of the Qin family, and she is also on her side, so she can only put it for the time being.

Yueniang seemed to have expected this result, and nodded casually, "Since the prince still feels that the evidence is insufficient, let's put this matter aside first, but Yueniang feels that leaving a dangerous person by her side will harm herself sooner or later." ”

"What do you mean!!" When Qin Qianman heard this, he was naturally angry. Is she trying to provoke the relationship between herself and the prince, and does she want the prince not to marry her?

"Literally, after all, the prince is a person who wants to achieve great things, and it is not okay to keep a femme fatale by his side. Yueniang glanced at her lightly and said, "Although it is rumored that people outside say that you are going to become the emperor in the future, it is because they don't know the truth of the matter, I think if the crown prince ascends the throne, there is such a queen by his side, I am afraid that there will be chaos." ”

Although what Yueniang said is not very popular, it is also true.

Zhao Mingchen looked at Qin Qianman, and then said to Yueniang: "I know this matter in my heart, in this way, the matter here is almost over, let's go back to the capital as soon as possible." ”

"Good. ”

I don't know why, the prince, who wasn't in a hurry before, seems to be in a hurry now.

"By the way, Prince, how is the interrogation of the officials over there?" Xie Bai suddenly asked.

Zhao Mingchen sighed, "You say, it was quite smooth when I came here at the beginning, and now the important task has been completed, but who would have thought that there would be such a mess for me to solve." ”

Xie Bai wanted to laugh in his heart, he still wanted to ascend the throne with such an ability, and if any decisions were handed over to him in the future, he would definitely be stupid to death.

"Isn't there any progress yet?"

"It's all recruited, it's not like there's no progress, why do you say they want so much money, and in the end they became prisoners. Originally, a good official was inappropriate, and he didn't do the iron rice bowl that led me to the court, but he wanted to do this kind of thing under my nose, you know, I hate this the most. Zhao Mingchen sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all, "These people can't be honest." ”

Hearing this, Xie Bai smiled, "Greed may be nature, or it may be instructed from above, but this is not clear." ”

"Probably not, I still believe in this prefect, and during this period of time, I followed me before and after, and I also looked for someone to pay attention to him, and I didn't find any tricks. ”

"That's good. ”

Xie Bai just mentioned it casually, since he couldn't find out himself, he didn't have anything to say.

Yueniang didn't expect that after this matter was broken, the prince still protected Qin Qianman without pain, and there was not even a trace of justice, it was false to say that he was not disappointed. But Yueniang knew that Qin Qianman's psychology in the prince had also changed.

After all, he already thought that this matter was done by Qin Qianman, and there was nothing to refute, even if he didn't deal with it now, it would be a threat to stay with the prince sooner or later, and he knew this in his own heart.

"What's wrong?" Xie Bai looked at her with a serious look on his face.

"It's just that I didn't expect the prince to be so sloppy and perfunctory to me. ”

"This is normal, don't you know who he is, naturally you have to look at your own interests first. His feathers are not yet full, his wings are not hard yet, the Qin family is his strongest backing, and he does not dare to offend. ”

"But is there already Qin Coriander, although Qin Coriander is not favored in the Qin family, but no matter what, she is still the daughter of the Qin family. Yueniang held her cheeks with both hands, looking irritable.

That Qin Qianman has a good skin, but his heart is so vicious.

"Maybe it was because of those rumors outside that saved her, after all, what the prince thinks about most is how to keep the throne, the throne is very important to him, and it has always been his goal. If Qin Qianman is the destined queen as the outside world says, then she will marry her no matter what. Xie Bai said, "Actually, you don't have to be upset, this may not be a good thing for us." ”

Yueniang nodded, "I know, I can't tolerate Qin Qianman anyway, and her good life won't be long." It's just that you can't send Hua Xi away, why did you say to send him away just now, you don't know what I think. "She is very worried now, she can't send Hua Xi away at all, and she can't open her mouth to Hua Xi.

"Don't worry about this, we will return to the capital in a short time, and let Hua Xi follow when the time comes. I'll find a yard for him not far from this lion so that he can live first, not far from you, I will find someone to guard him, and safety is not a problem. ”

"That's all there is to it. Yueniang sighed and said.

"Alright, don't be depressed, we'll be home in a moment. Xie Bai looked at her dejected appearance and rubbed her hair, "I'm going to be my wife soon, don't you look forward to it?"

Yueniang glanced at him, "It's Ang, looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to it." When the time comes, I will fill your mansion with concubines and keep you busy. ”

"What a good lady for me. ”

"That's it. Yueniang grinned.

It's just that Huaxi's injury is not good yet, and Yueniang is really distressed.

The prince didn't know what was wrong, so he suddenly returned to Beijing in a hurry and ordered someone to start packing his things. But I think about it, I sent people in the capital to urge me a few times, saying that I would go back early after the matter here, and the prince wanted to stay here for a few more days before, saying that it was a good time to play with Qin Qianman for a few days, and it is estimated that he has no mind now.

Yueniang went to see Huaxi, he was lying on the bed reading a book. Yueniang smiled and snatched the book out of his hand, "What are you so fascinated by looking." ”

"It's just some useless miscellaneous books. ”

"How can miscellaneous books be useless, are only the four books and five classics, and medical books considered serious books?"

"It's just boring to pass the time, and there's nothing serious. ”

"Since it can pass the time, it is not a useless book. Yueniang looked at the wounds on his body, wrapped in thick bandages, "Does it still hurt?"

"Fortunately, as long as you don't move, it doesn't hurt much. Hua Xi smiled and said, looking at her distressed appearance was also psychological. Although he knew that she might regard herself as a relative, he didn't know when Yueniang slowly changed in his psychology.

Looking at her words and deeds, smiling, my eyes couldn't help but stick to her body.

"See what I'm doing?"

"Nothing. Hua Xi looked away a little embarrassed, then snatched the book back from her hand, and flipped it over boringly, "What, what is the prince looking for you?"

It's the right thing to ask, but Yueniang doesn't know how to answer.

"What's wrong?" Hua Xi sensed that something was wrong with her.
