Chapter 138: Died in battle
Looking at the snow falling outside the window, Tao Ge gathered her clothes, Ziji walked in from outside, and saw her standing by the window to do this, it must be too cold, so she walked over and closed the window without saying a word.
said in his mouth: "Obviously afraid of the cold, but you still have to stand here to blow the wind, you are determined to freeze yourself."
Tao Ge was pulled back to his thoughts, breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to look at her sideways, and said, "The snow scene outside is very beautiful."
Huan Yi's Jiaowei Qin was placed by the window, Tao Ge turned sideways, this hand happened to be on the strings, the hand moved slightly, the strings were plucked out of the sound, she heard the sound and lowered her head, looking at this Jiaowei Qin, suddenly remembered Huan Yi, she couldn't help but pluck it twice, stopped and said: "I don't know where Huan Yi is now, and whether he is doing well."
Ziji smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "He must be doing very well, if not, how could he decide not to return to Jiankang in this life."
Tao Ge frowned slightly after hearing this, raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "My sister thinks so, but I feel more and more that there is something wrong with him when he said goodbye to me that day."
Ziji was also a little suspicious, "What do you mean?"
"The day I saw him, it wasn't like a farewell...... It's like life and death. ”
Ziji was slightly stunned, and then said: "Bah, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, if it comes true, then I will blame you."
Tao Ge said very seriously: "It's true, sister, you think, this Jiao Weiqin and Ke Tingdi have always been his beloved things, especially Ke Tingdi, he has never left his body, why do you want to leave Jiankang this time, but you don't even want Ke Tingdi, it's like entrusting important things to others before dying," At this point, Tao Ge realized that he had made a mistake, so he quickly stopped his mouth, peeked at Ziji, and continued: "That's what it means, sister must understand."
Ziji was silent, thinking that he had heard Tao Ge's words, and he also noticed some signs, a pair of beautiful eyebrows were slightly condensed, and there was a panic in his eyes.
Seeing her like this, Tao Ge stopped saying anything about Huan Yi, and looked down at Jiao Weiqin again, and then said, "This Jiao Weiqin is a little in the way when it is placed here."
With that, he raised his head again and called, "Bao Xuan."
The voice fell, and a palace lady came in and responded: "Beauty."
Tao Ge glanced at Jiao Weiqin and said, "Move this qin to the empty house in the west."
Gong E agreed, then walked over and picked up Jiao Weiqin and turned out, Tao Ge advised, "Be careful."
Gong E took a step and looked back, and asked, "Beauty, there are two empty rooms in the west, is this qin in Aunt Xi's room, or is it ...... Sister Fangyan's room ......"
Even though Xi Ping has now been named a beauty, the people of Yilan Hall still call her "Aunt Xi" in private, not intentionally looking down on her so much, but they are used to it, and they blurt it out, which is really not easy to speak.
As for Ming, but there is no chance, the people of Yilan Hall will not go out, and Xi Ping will not come to Yilan Palace.
It is rumored in the palace that the beauty of the Changding Palace is particularly arrogant and never interacts with people.
Indeed, since Xi Ping lived in the Changding Palace, he has never intersected with any concubine in the palace.
At the mention of Chun'er, Tao Ge was inevitably a little sad, took a long breath, and said, "Didn't I tell you, none of you should move Chun'er's room, just clean it once a month."
That Gong'e understood what she meant, so she took the qin to Xi Pingyuan's room, Tao Ge saw her leave, and suddenly remembered that Huan Yi's Ke Ting Di was also placed in the inner hall, so she went to pick up the Ke Ting Di again, and also went out to Xi Ping's room.
Gong E had already put Jiao Weiqin on the platform at the end of the bed, Tao Ge then went in, and carefully put Ke Tingdi away, and was about to turn around, but in a blink of an eye, she suddenly saw a pool of gray-brown powder on the ground at the head of the bed, and she involuntarily looked up at the corresponding beam.
At first, she suspected that it was the dust falling from the beams, but it could be seen that the beams were spotless, so how could it be the dust on the beams, so she was full of suspicions, so she walked over, squatted down and reached out to twist a little, and twisted two fingers again, and then felt more and more that the cloth was right, so she sniffed close to her nose, and the smell was very pungent, quite similar to the smell of gunpowder.
Ziji followed Tao Ge here, and when she saw her like this, she also felt that something was wrong, so she walked behind her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tao Ge looked back but didn't answer her, but said with a little eagerness: "Go and fetch the flint."
Ziji saw that she was so anxious, although she was puzzled, but she also quickly turned around and went out to get the flint, Tao Ge took the flint, then stood up, away from this puddle of powder, and then looked at the position and direction, and threw the flint on the puddle of powder.
The puddle of powder caught fire in an instant, glowing with a faint blue light, and this blue flame was exactly the same as the one that burned Chun'er to death that day.
Tao Ge stared at the flame and said in a daze, "It's her...... She was the one who killed Chun'er......"
Ziji also suddenly realized at that time that Sima Yao had phosphorus powder on Chun'er, and Xiping House happened to have phosphorus powder, and everyone was in Yilan Hall that day, and the movement was very great, everyone came out to fight the fire, but Xi Ping was not there.
After that day, Tao Ge suddenly remembered this and asked her, she was kind enough to hide it for Xi Ping, but she never thought that the murderer who killed Chun'er was Xi Ping!
And what about her...... Wouldn't he become an accomplice!
At this moment, Gong'e suddenly entered the inner room and reported: "Beauty, Aunt Xi is here."
Tao Ge looked back at her fiercely, his gaze was quite fierce, "I was looking for her!" ”
With that, he turned around and walked straight to the main hall.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Xi Ping sitting here drinking tea very leisurely, so that Tao Ge saw it, and his heart became more and more angry, Xi Ping turned his eyes and saw that she was violent, so he stood up unhurriedly, Tao Ge happened to have walked to her at this time, and immediately said angrily: "You killed Chun'er!"
The words were full of affirmation, Xi Ping was not surprised, but chuckled lightly, and said: "I thought you would be kept in the dark for the rest of your life, but it turns out that you all know, yes, I killed you."
"Why did you kill her!" As Tao Ge spoke, he suddenly pulled off the jade scratch on his head and put it against Xi Ping's neck, and continued: "She is your niece!"
Xi Ping looked calm and did not panic, and said: "What is the matter with my niece, she has threatened me, and she must die."
Hearing this, Tao Ge sneered, took back the jade scratch head, and calmed down a lot, and said unhurriedly: "She must know that you betrayed me, and you killed her for fear that she would tell me about it."
After that, Tao Ge continued: "You are afraid that she will tell me your thoughts, you are afraid of me, Aunt Xi, my father has threatened you," Tao Ge laughed self-deprecatingly.
Xi Ping avoided her gaze without a trace, and it was obvious that he was right.
She concealed her panic in her heart and said: "This is all in the past, I came here today to tell you that Huan Ziye left Jiankang that day to follow Xie An to fight with Qianqin."
Tao Ge was slightly stunned, Xi Ping said this, seeing her look like this, he chuckled lightly and continued: "There is one more thing," she approached her, and lowered her voice slightly, as if threatening, "Huan Ziye, died in battle."
When the words fell, not only Tao Ge was stunned, but even Zi Ji was also shocked.
"Xie An returned triumphantly, with his corpse, and was on his way back to Jiankang, at this time, he must have arrived at the gate of the city," she still looked like she didn't care about herself.
When Tao Ge heard this, he couldn't care about anything, so he immediately turned around and went out, obviously going to the city gate, and no one could hold it. (To be continued.) )
