Chapter 51: Interrogation
The sun was rising in the early morning, and the orange light was warmly hitting people's bodies, it was already late spring, and the weather was slightly warmer, and several palace people who walked around were sweating slightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The palace maids guarding outside the main hall of Fengzao Palace also sweated slightly, but it was not hot, but they were frightened by the frost on the queen's face early in the morning.
A baby-faced little palace maid looked around, and finally couldn't help but talk to the person next to her, she poked the man's shoulder and asked, "The queen seems to be very unhappy today, I don't know what will happen to the third prince?" Sister, do you know what's going on?"
The palace maid who was accosted looked older and obviously knew more, she glanced at the other party impatiently and said, "Go, go, where can you take care of the master's affairs?"
Before she could finish speaking, another little palace maid joined the discussion, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister, you are mistaken, Xiao Lian cares about Niangniang, she obviously wants to inquire about the third prince!"
"Oops, nasty—" Her teasing drew a couple of pink punches.
The bold ladies were making a fuss outside, and in the inner room, a few doors away, the queen was furious with her precious son.
"Did you get that female corpse?"
The third prince Qin Jue had already heard the anger in the queen's words, and he no longer had the triumph he had when he first entered the door, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he replied yes.
As soon as the words fell, a green jade cup shattered to the ground with the queen's movements, accompanied by her sharp voice: "Rebel, do you want to kill this palace?!"
Qin Jue's brows furrowed even tighter, he didn't understand, how could he be blamed for helping his mother deal with useless people? Or is it such a harsh blame?
You must know that since she was a child, the queen has never been willing to beat and scold him, let alone throw things in front of him!
But today, in addition to fighting, both of these are accounted for! Why is that?
In the end, it was the meat in the palm of her hand, and the queen regretted it a little after dropping the cup, and she asked in a soothing tone: "Did you hear from your father that I instructed someone to do the death of Princess Ruyan?"
Qin Jue didn't speak, this matter was not spread outside, and the reason why he could know it was because he had placed someone next to his father. It's just that everyone has to have privacy, so he doesn't want the queen mother to know about it now.
Seeing the baby son standing below with his head slightly bowed, frowning, and as if he didn't dare to speak, the queen's heart softened again.
She is so angry today, her son is the same as being smart, and it is more for him to install people around the emperor.
The crown prince is indeed inferior to the three princes in all aspects, but with the full support of the emperor and some ministers in the court, the prince's current position is still unshakable.
Besides, Emperor Qin Qixiang is less than half a hundred, which can be regarded as in the prime of life, and the third child is even if he places people next to the prince, and he actually drove the dark pile to his father's side, what if he is discovered!
So for her son, she is becoming more and more incomprehensible!
The third prince Qin Jue stood at the bottom, constantly turning back and forth in his mind about the beginning and end of the incident with Princess Ruyan, and then contacting the queen's reaction, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, could it be...
He raised his head and confirmed with the empress: "Queen Mother, does this matter have nothing to do with you?"
The queen nodded, and the tassel on the phoenix hairpin on her bun swayed slightly, "Although this palace didn't like Concubine Bai Xian back then, it was not to the point that even her daughter had to be killed. Besides, the Dangui was originally given to Princess Ruyan by this palace, why would she be allowed to kill people!"
yes, isn't it a problem for yourself to do such an obvious thing?
"There, the minister found a female corpse to use as a cinnamon this time, isn't it..."Qin Jue's handsome face was full of remorse.
Obviously, there are other people behind Dangui, this incident is to frame the queen, and now he can't find Dangui to extinguish his mouth, and he has found a female corpse to fill it, but instead he has fallen into the other party's way!
The father must have thought that it was the hand of the queen mother who was afraid that the matter would be revealed!
The queen was already sitting on the phoenix collapse at this time, and the begonias beside her were talking in her ear, and a trace of interest appeared on her originally calm face.
"Okay, Jue'er, your father has ordered Dali Temple to explain, it seems that there will be nothing wrong at present, you can go back." Remember in the future, the queen mother does not need you to protect her, the queen mother will protect you. ”
"The Queen Mother... The retainers retired. Qin Jue's face was full of emotion, and he immediately bowed and retreated.
"Go ahead." The queen waved her hand.
Qin Jue retreated, and met Shangguan Zhaoyi, who was dressed in strict palace clothes, at the door. Because the queen hates the bewitching and revealing dress, Shangguan Zhaoyi has to change her clothes every time she comes to greet the queen, but the heavy aroma of fat powder on her body at this time still makes people dizzy.
She hastily saluted Qin Jue, then picked up the skirt that was mopping the floor and ran into the hall to cry to the queen: "Queen Mother, yesterday was terrible, Bai Zhaoyi she actually..."
Qin Jue snorted coldly, he had no intention of listening any further, and strode away with his slender legs, the attendants behind him hurriedly followed, and the figures of the group gradually drifted away.
……
It was night, the moon was as cool as water, and under the cover of the clouds, the moon disk that had become mellow was peeping at a girl standing in the peach blossom forest.
The girl, dressed in a tunic short, was waving something towards a tree that had withered and died.
After another "pounce" sound of a sharp weapon inserted into the wood, the girl plucked a hairpin from her head and shot out, but this time the previous sound did not appear again.
She exhaled, slowly walked over to pick up the silver hairpin that had fallen in the dirt, dusted it, and sighed with some disappointment: "Sure enough, it still doesn't work..."
At this time, a figure who had been standing motionless in the shadows spoke up: "Miss, will you go to the meditation nunnery tomorrow?"
Xie Zhaolin wiped the hairpin on the corner of his clothes absentmindedly, reinserted it into the bun and said, "Of course you want to go, if you feel bored, I will ask the green warbler to accompany me tomorrow."
Of course, Hongqing didn't dare to say this, but handed her a handkerchief for Xie Zhaolin to wipe her sweat, and told her that the bathing water had been prepared.
Xie Zhaolin then went back to the room, came to the ear room, and tested the temperature of the water with his hands first, before he went into the water with a wide coat, leaned against the bathtub and covered his face with a face towel, as if he was asleep.
Hongqing is still standing on the side and listening to orders, not in a hurry, very leisurely. She looked at Xie Zhaolin, whose face was covered, and the strangeness and familiarity that had been hovering in her heart for a few days came up again.
This kind of person is well-behaved and cautious in front of him, and likes to do strange things in the future, and occasionally exudes an amazing temperament, which is really too similar to Miss San!
