Chapter 378: Secret
Giving Su Qingnuan to death, instead of the Ming canonical punishment, this is the emperor's loyalty to the Su family in the court in the past dynasties, and gave the Su family face. However, a Su Qingnuan could not calm the emperor's anger.
Su Qingnuan's father was fined for two years and was demoted three levels in a row. Su Qingnuan's brothers were not spared, and Su Qingnuan's mother was simply withdrawn from the title of wife. Even the father of the princess was also angry, fined for a year, and was demoted to retention.
After a few holy decrees, the status and reputation of the Su family plummeted. From now on, the children of the Su family will be people with their tails between their legs. However, they all saved their lives, and they didn't have to follow Su Qing's warm up to pay for Rong Chengyi's life.
He Pozi, as the murderer who poisoned Rong Chengyi, will be sent to the heavenly prison and sentenced to the world in order to sue the world.
The emperor personally sent someone to give Su Qingnuan to death and take away Mrs. He. Rong Chenghan was talking to these people in the front hall. There was a little girl who came to find Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi is in Yunshui Ju at the moment, and Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San are not leaving, and are talking with her.
"What's the matter?" Liu Ruoxi asked the little girl who came to report.
"Mrs. Hui......" The little girl opened her mouth to say something, and seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter, just say." Liu Ruoxi said.
"Mrs. Hui, is it...... It's Miss Su Qi......"
"Seven girls?" Liu Ruoxi frowned slightly, Su Qingnuan had been closely guarded, and she was about to die. At this time, can it still be extraneous branches? "What's wrong with the Seventh Girl?"
"Back to Mrs., it was the seventh girl who kept crying, saying that she wanted to see Mrs. and had something to say to Mrs. The little girl told Liu Ruoxi, Su Qingnuan knew that it was impossible to escape death, and said that she had only one wish in the end, that is, to see Liu Ruoxi.
"She said that if Madame didn't go, she would definitely regret it later." The little girl didn't want to bother Liu Ruoxi with Su Qingnuan's affairs. But Su Qingnuan had such a sentence, and the little girl felt uneasy if she didn't come to report to Liu Ruoxi. "Dare to come and report to Madame."
"yes, I see." Liu Ruoxi nodded, and groaned a little for a while.
Liu Ruoxi was about to send the little girl down, and another daughter-in-law in charge came to report. This daughter-in-law in charge is the keeper of Mrs. He's son.
"The woman said that she wanted Mrs. to be gracious, and when she saw Mrs., she had something to report to Mrs. He Pozi also begged the guards to come over, saying that she wanted to see Liu Ruoxi.
This one of two. They all want to see her. Liu Ruoxi did not make a decision immediately, but sent the two people out first.
"In my opinion, why bother to see them." Mrs. Liu San raised her eyebrows and said, they are just two death row prisoners, and Liu Ruoxi has no need to see them at all.
Second Mrs. Liu also had the same opinion, she felt that Liu Ruoxi would inevitably provoke bad luck when she went to see these two people.
"That mother-in-law is okay, I think it's because she looks at your woman's face and is soft-hearted, and she wants to plead for her son. Su Qi ...... "Second Mrs. Liu said that when Su Qi spoke, her face was a little unsightly. She hadn't forgotten what kind of Su Qing Nuan Fang wanted to climb Liu Ruoxi.
"Then Su Qi must not be well-intentioned. What can she say to you. It's just that you're unwilling to die, and your thoughts make you uncomfortable. Just ignore her. Mrs. Liu San waved her hand and said.
Liu Ruoxi couldn't help nodding slightly, what Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San said made some sense. But......
"I still want to see that Mrs. He and hear what she has to say." Liu Ruoxi said slowly.
The murder of Rong Chengyi seems to have been clarified. Liu Ruoxi also believes that Su Qingnuan and He Pozi have no grievances, and it is these two people who committed the murder. However, there are still some puzzling aspects of what happened.
He Pozi's confession. It's not completely without flaws.
Jiang Fu's appearance and confession are also too timely and coincidental.
Liu Ruoxi vaguely felt that she seemed to be grasping something, but looked at it carefully. And he found his hands empty. In order to solve the confusion and peace of mind, Liu Ruoxi decided that she should still meet Mrs. He.
This is what Liu Ruoxi thinks in her heart, but she didn't tell the second and third Mrs. Liu about it.
"Maybe there are still omissions in her confession, I'll listen to what she has to say, so as not to catch a fish." Liu Ruoxi said to the second and third Mrs. Liu, "Mother and third aunt are here to take care of the little pigs for me." ”
The second wife of Liu and the third wife of Liu Ruoxi said this, and they did not dissuade them anymore.
Liu Ruoxi got up and took a group of girls out of Yunshuiju.
He Pozi was temporarily guarded in an empty house, and the guards were Rong Chenghan's henchmen. Hearing Liu Ruoxi say that she wanted to see Mrs. He, the guards hesitated a little and then let go.
"Although I have confessed my guilt, I am not a good person after all, and my wife should be careful." The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall. The meaning of the guard, Mrs. He looks harmless now, but after all, she poisoned and killed people, and she is still reluctant for Liu Ruozi to approach Mrs. He.
"Don't worry, she won't dare to hurt anyone again." Liu Ruoxi is very confident.
He Pozi confessed so smoothly and confessed all of them, in order to save her son. He Pozi has no reason to commit murder again.
Entering the house, Liu Ruoxi sat down opposite Mrs. He.
"You want to see me?" Liu Ruoxi looked at Mrs. He and asked.
"Yes, the slave maid wants to see Madame, and she has something to say to Madame." Mrs. He knelt there, her expression calm. "These words, the slave and maid only speak to the lady alone."
"Oh......" Liu Ruoxi looked He Pozi up and down, and after a little thought, she asked the guards and the people around her to retreat.
Mama Chang also came to serve, but she refused to leave Liu Ruoxi's side.
Liu Ruoxi didn't catch up with Mama Chang either.
"Alright, now you can say it." Liu Ruoxi said to Mrs. He.
"Madam, what the slave just said in Rongyuan Hall is not all the truth." He Pozi opened her mouth at this time, but her words were amazing.
But Liu Ruoxi's expression was only faint, and she didn't seem to be surprised at all.
He Pozi was stunned for a moment, but soon understood. Liu Ruoxi was not surprised, because Liu Ruoxi had already heard the flaws and guessed that what she said was not all the truth.
Liu Ruoxi did not urge Mrs. He, but Mrs. He went straight to it.
"Madame is clever and clear, and I guessed it. The old slave didn't dare to lie in front of his wife, as he said now. Every word is true. Although Liu Ruoxi guessed it, she still came to see her, and Mrs. He knew that her words were still valuable to Liu Ruoxi.
Although I guessed it, it was somewhat different from the narration of the people at the time.
"The slave maid said at the time that the seventh girl asked the slave maid to give the princess / medicine, which was what the slave maid said according to Jiang Fu's words. In fact, the target of the seventh girl's medicine is the prince of the world. ”
Although I vaguely guessed this, I heard Mrs. He say it herself at this moment. Liu Ruoxi still couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
At that time, when she listened to Mrs. He's confession in Rongyuan Hall, Liu Ruoxi felt strange. Such a life-related event, Mrs. He is an old man in the kitchen, how could she take / drug and get the wrong object. It is said that it is a mistake, but the possibility of it is very small.
It turns out that this is the case, what Su Qingnuan wants to harm is not the princess in the first place, but Rong Chengyi.
"The plan of the seventh girl is to poison the prince. Then blame the lady. ”
"Do you know how she's going to blame me?" Liu Ruoxi asked.
The seventh girl instructed the slave and maid to push a qiē on the body of the lady if the slave and maid were discovered. She will ensure that Xiao Da is rich and prosperous all her life. As for the rest, the seven girls said that the slaves and maids should not be bothered, and the seven girls had their own arrangements. He Pozi said.
So at that time, Mrs. He had to admit to poisoning, if Jiang Fu did not appear. Instead, let Mrs. He continue to speak, and Mrs. He will confess that Liu Ruozi is the person behind it.
Even if Jiang Fu later said the truth/appearance, He Pozi's words were preconceived. Liu Ruoxi is afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of it.
"These words, only God knows, I tell my wife to know, and I will not leak half a word." He Pozi swore by the sky.
Liu Ruoxi naturally understood what Mrs. He meant.
"The Xiao family is not at fault in this matter, and it is not difficult for the Hou Ye to intercede, so it is not difficult to save his life." Liu Ruoxi said lightly.
"Slaves and maids are content, and they are happy to repay the lord and his wife by being cows and horses." He Pozi cried and kowtowed to Liu Ruoxi.
Involved in the case of poisoning the prince of Yongjing, it is already a great luck to be able to live, of course He Pozi understands this truth now, and he does not dare to ask for more.
Liu Ruoxi nodded and got up from the chair.
Walking outside, Liu Ruoxi's footsteps were a little hesitant. Su Qingnuan is there, do she want to go over and have a look. There is no need for Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San to remind her, Liu Ruoxi also knows that Su Qingnuan must hate her at this moment, and if she wants to tell her, she will naturally not be kind-hearted.
However, Su Qingnuan will definitely know something that she is not sure about.
"Even if she knew, would she tell you the truth!" Rong Chenghan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Liu Ruoxi came back to her senses, only to find that Rong Chenghan didn't know when he had walked to her.
"How do you know......" Liu Ruoxi looked at Rong Chenghan suspiciously.
"I just came from Yunshuiju." Rong Chenghan told Liu Ruoxi that Su Qingnuan and He Pozi wanted to see Liu Ruoxi, and Rong Chenghan naturally knew about it, so he came here to look for her.
"Don't go see her." Rong Chenghan held Liu Ruoxi's hand, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask me." If she can sue you, I can sue you. And, she'll lie to you, I won't. ”
"Auntie, can't you trust me?" Rong Chenghan looked at Liu Ruoxi and asked.
"Of course I can trust you, Han." If she can't trust Rong Chenghan, who else can she trust.
"When you go to her, you get her heart." Rong Chenghan hugged Liu Ruoxi and turned slightly. I saw a man dressed as a eunuch in the palace, accompanied by the guards, walking from the bluestone road to the firewood house in the west.
Su Qingnuan was detained there. Those few should be the ones who went to kill Su Qingnuan.
"She deserves it. Isn't it better to let her die unwillingly than anything? Rong Chenghan whispered in Liu Ruoxi's ear.
"Han, you're right." Liu Ruoxi nodded, and her heart suddenly brightened.
Su Qingnuan has nothing now, only resentment. I want to see her, but I just want to pass on this pain. But why did she want to see Su Qingnuan and satisfy Su Qingnuan's desires. She has a tomorrow and a future with infinite possibilities, so there is no need to care about the so-called "secrets" that Su Qingnuan knows.
"I don't want to see her anymore." Liu Ruoxi said quietly.
The eunuch in the palace led the people into the house, and after about the time of the tea, he came out with the people, and then the rough mother-in-law went in and came out with a white cloth covered shelf. Rong Chenghan let go of Liu Ruoxi, walked forward quickly, said a few words to the eunuch, and walked to the side of the shelf.
Rong Chenghan lifted the white cloth, glanced inside, and then covered the white cloth back.
A few rough mothers-in-law carried the shelves to the back door. Su Qingnuan made a big mistake and caused a big disaster for the Su family, so she couldn't be buried in the ancestral grave of the Su family, so she could only be buried indiscriminately in a mass grave outside the city.
Someone came and took Mrs. He away.
Rong Chenghan took Liu Ruoxi's hand and returned to Yunshuiju.
Knowing that the couple had a lot to say, Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San went to Little Piggy's house very considerately.
"Ahan, I'm going to sue you." Liu Ruoxi told Rong Chenghan what Mrs. He said, "Jiang Fu is weird. (To be continued......)
