Chapter 964: Heart-wrenching
Yao Zhiyue wanted to attract Yao Shangshu's attention, but Yao Shangshu finished saying these words unhurriedly and didn't look at her.
Wu Zhengxiang saw Xu Wanzhen nodding slightly, got up and walked to the bowl of pearl snow fungus soup that was placed on the table in the room as evidence. The small half cup of soup had already cooled down, and the poison contained in the glutinous rice and pearl balls gradually radiated, dyeing the soup purple and black.
He picked up the soup and handed it to Yao Shangshu and said, "Leave a whole corpse." ”
The prince has not yet spoken, and Wu Zhengxiang has gone beyond the bounds of this. But Xu Wan is really a bitter master, and she has the power to deal with the murderer.
"Okay, that's it." The crown prince approved of Wu Zhengxiang's approach.
This result can be said to be very happy except for the crown princess. She bothered to set up such a big game, but she was slipped away by the big fish of Concubine Yao, and she caught Yao Zhiyue, a small shrimp, to blame her.
Yao Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, the martial family did not pursue it, and Concubine Yao's status was retained.
Yao Zhiyue, an uncertain bomb, for Xu Wanzhen, it is naturally better to be dead than alive.
For the crown prince, it is most cost-effective to let Yao Zhiyue fight her life and preserve the relationship between the martial arts family and the Yao family at the same time.
The happiest is none other than Concubine Yao. She planned the position of the crown princess, but she was able to calmly pass the test after the incident. Fortunately, there is Yao Zhiyue, an idiot, otherwise she wouldn't know how to get away with it.
Concubine Yao had a sad face, knelt down and pleaded: "Although Du Juan betrayed me, she has always had some affection with me all these years, and the concubine begged His Highness to let me say a few words to her alone." ”
Whoever instigated it, poisoning the cuckoo was a capital offense.
The crown prince nodded, this pleading of Concubine Yao was not excessive.
Du Juan's hands trembled, and he looked at Concubine Yao with tears in his eyes and said, "It's the maid's fault." ”
Bi Lu was sad, helped her up, and walked out with Concubine Yao. Jasmine stood up silently and walked out with a few people.
The crown princess took a sip of tea and hid a smile on her lips. At least, it's not for nothing.
She ordered someone to secretly arrest Bauhinia, causing Concubine Yao to transfer her suspicions to her, thus allowing Jasmine to gain her trust.
As the royal daughter-in-law, the crown princess knew that Emperor Qinglong's time was short. At this point, cut off one of her arms and bury Jasmine's dark chess piece deeper.
After entering the palace, at the current age of the prince, there will be at least a few big selections of show girls, and anything may happen at that time. If you can, of course, it is best to cut off Concubine Yao first.
But at the moment, such a result is not bad, although the prince let go of Concubine Yao for the sake of Yao Shangshu, and let Yao Zhiyue take the blame alone. However, this does not mean that the prince has no doubts in his heart.
Perhaps, before the day of entering the palace, as long as Shi Jingfu enters the mansion, Concubine Yao's grace will become thinner and thinner.
Concubine Yao took a few maids into the side room, and a few mothers-in-law sent by the crown princess guarded the door. The prince allowed them to say goodbye at the end, but it did not mean that they were free.
"Cuckoo, it's all my fault." Concubine Yao's voice was very soft, tears the size of beans were dripping from her eyes, and she held the cuckoo in her arms and cried.
Bilu also secretly wiped her tears, blaming herself for being suspicious of her master when she was in the yard just now. The master was also forced to a dead end, where else can I think of?
"Miss, the servant has no regrets, please take care of my father and mother for me." Du Juan is the son of the Yao family, and his parents are still in the Yao family. It's just that her father is old and sick, and she only relies on her mother's monthly money to survive, and she also subsidizes some from time to time.
She has done a lot of things for Concubine Yao, and today she failed, she knew that the death penalty was inevitable, and the only thing she worried about was her father and mother at home.
Concubine Yao nodded again and again, and said, "I just wanted to tell you about this." Don't worry, in the future, your father and mother will be supported by me. "How much money can be spent on raising a pair of servants, but it can make other maids loyal.
The cuckoo's wish was fulfilled, he put his heart down, his eyes were firm, and he said, "Niangniang, you are going out soon." "She is a guilty person, Concubine Yao has been here for a long time, it is not suitable.
Concubine Yao reluctantly stood up and sobbed: "I'm leaving, you ......"
Bilu and Jasmine stepped forward to help Concubine Yao, and Bilu persuaded in a low voice: "Niangniang, let's go." ”
Concubine Yao hid her face and left, and the mother-in-law standing outside the house walked in with a hemp rope in her hand. After a while, only a muffled sound could be heard inside, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
The footsteps of several people paused, knowing that the cuckoo was no longer there at the moment.
Concubine Yao covered her mouth, her heart was sour, and tears couldn't help but pour out. If there was still a little bit of drama just now, but at this moment, she felt sad from the bottom of her heart.
Cuckoo is her most trusted confidant, who is thoughtful and decisive. From the time she was still in the boudoir, Du Juan gave her advice and helped her find the family affair of the concubine of King Qi, which led to today's situation.
But this is the Prince's Mansion, no matter how painful she is, she can't cry loudly, she can only force patience.
……
In front of the Hanging Flower Gate, the crown prince and the princess personally sent Wu Zhengxiang and Xu Wanzhen out, and Yao Shangshu escorted Yao Zhiyue to follow behind.
"I originally invited you to the banquet, but I didn't expect Mrs. Ling to be frightened by this." The prince was apologetic, and his tone was sincere, "It's really lonely. In order to maintain the relationship with the Yao family, he did not pursue it to the end, so he recognized the human certificate taken out by Concubine Yao.
If you really want to investigate it carefully, then the cuckoo is Concubine Yao's maid, and what she says, strictly speaking, is a question mark whether it can be accepted.
Who is Wu Zhengxiang? Commander of the Cavalry Guard. How many big and hard cases have been solved under his hands, how can he not see such obvious flaws.
He didn't pursue it, so naturally he looked at the prince's face.
Therefore, the prince is apologizing for this.
Wu Zhengxiang smiled and said, "Your Highness is really polite when she says this. The last general and Yao Shangshu were ministers in the same court, and they didn't look up and look down. ”
He is a military general, and Yao Shangshu is the secretary of the military department. Although it does not directly govern the Xiao Cavalry, there will always be some intersections.
However, the prince knew in his heart that with Wu Zhengxiang's character, saying this was just to reduce the guilt in his heart.
He patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and laughed loudly: "It's empty again, find a place to have a good drink." Wu Zhengxiang naturally shouldn't mention it.
Xu Wanzhen also said goodbye to the crown princess and got into the carriage first.
It was already dark at night, and it was less than half an hour before the door closed. The streets in winter are not as lively as in summer, with only two drunks staggering along.
The carriage walked on the bluestone-paved street, and the sound echoed in the empty street, which seemed a little lonely and lonely.
Wu Zhengxiang didn't ride a horse, he held Xu Wanzhen's hand in the carriage, and was about to say something, when he heard the sound of "get it" from behind, obviously someone was riding a horse to catch up.
The guards who accompanied the carriage reined in their horses and looked at the people with wariness.
Yao Shangshu arched his hand and said, "Master Wu, please stay for the time being and listen to me." ”
