"Nope." I say.

"Sister, in fact, it's not just that I don't believe it, even the second son ......" Hou Yue seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and he mentioned Yuan Jue intentionally or unintentionally.

I was a little unhappy, "He has already come to question me if I killed Qu Jie, so you don't have to explain it for him." ”

Hou Yue was stunned for a moment, he didn't react for a while, and after he reacted, he explained slowly while thinking, "Sister Niyin, you must have misunderstood something, things are not as you think." At that time, when the monarch released the second son, he was to explain the second son...... arranged to deal with Miss Qu's funeral, before this, no one thought that Miss Qu would die suddenly, and then I heard that sister, you took Miss Qu to see Lord Qu during the day, and Lord Qu turned out to be ...... committed suicide, and Miss Qu had an accident at night...... This is a rumor in the palace that I don't know when it started, although no one directly said that you had something to do with Miss Qu's death, but anyone who sounds like this can understand what it is......"

I didn't speak, because I knew that Hou Yue was more or less defending Yuan Jue.

"Sister Niyin, the second son is the first person to insist that you can't be the murderer." Hou Yue saw that I didn't believe it, so he persuaded him more firmly, "He still wants me not to tell you this, I thought he wanted to confirm with you before he asked you." This may just be because he is worried that the rumors will continue to spread and will not be good for you, and he wants to help you find out what is going on. ”

"You don't have to defend him anymore. I've known him for more than you, and I know exactly what kind of person he is, what he thinks and does. So you don't have to say anything. "I just don't want to hear anymore, I don't want to hear from anyone how nice he is to me.

"Sister, what happened?" Hou Yue was curious and said cautiously, "Since we returned to Mucheng half a year ago, you seem to have changed. But when you opened the city gate to greet the second son, I thought you were fine, but why did you suddenly ......?"

Why all of a sudden?! Anyway, it didn't come suddenly...... Everything has been planned by someone else for a long time.

"Sister, tell me, what happened, you are not such a greedy and vain person, and you will never abandon the second son because of the monarch, something must have happened, right?" Hou Yue asked.

"Yes." I made up my mind and said this word categorically, seeing that Hou Yue's expression became more and more confused, I said, "Before you go back to Mucheng, he should go back." It was Qu Jie who secretly took him into Mucheng and directly to Qu Fu, right? ”

"Sister, how did you know about this." Hou Yue hurriedly wanted to hide something.

"I see it." At that time, when I saw him in Chengfu, I knew that I was not mistaken. "In the Quxiong camp, I got the news that Yun Chu and Mrs. Qi Mo, no, it should be Concubine Yun now, they were framed, and I knew about Yuan Jue's biological mother being Concubine Yun more than ten years ago, I was afraid that this matter would affect Yuan Jue's army to fight, so I had to leave first and follow Jialan back to Mucheng, wanting to find out the truth of what happened back then. Just when I rescued Concubine Yun in order to find out the truth, I met Yuan Jue who secretly left through the back door in Chengfu, as well as Qu Jie. The first time Qu Jie met me, she deliberately left a special impression on me, and then Jialan, who I sent to protect Yuan Jue, came back and told me that Yuan Jue secretly entered the city and hid in Qu Mansion with the help of Qu Jie. ”

"......" Hou Yue frowned, I'm afraid he couldn't think of how to explain for Yuan Jue.

"I've always known that. On the day the army entered the city, I asked him if he had only returned to Mucheng today, and he said yes. "I closed my eyes and recalled all this, even though it was much better, but my heart still ached," Xiong Lie also asked me if I was aware of something. I told him all this, but Xiong Lie persuaded me, he said that if Yuan Jue is the king, I will never be the only woman, he said that the power of the Qu family can help Yuan Jue, he said...... At that time, Xiong Lie told me that Yuan Jue was so tired that he fell asleep, but I saw his shadow flashing by the window, Hou Yue, do you know what kind of humiliation it is? ”

In front of the man I love the most and want to be with me the most for the rest of my life, in front of the man I chose to stay with him desperately, he asked Xiong Lie to tell me that he would have another woman. He said that he cared about me, but let others trample on my dead heart for him, "I gave up everything to stay with him, but in exchange for their humiliation." At that time, I wondered what my feelings were to him. ”

"Sister, then you can't be angry......" Hou Yue's words didn't continue halfway through, but I think I understood what he meant.

"It's not a gamble." I said that agreeing to marry Wonhyuk is not angry. "I have no other way to choose, half a year ago, when you thought I was dead, I was really almost dead, and when I gave up all my cultivation to become a real person, I really almost died. After that, I was taken back to Shaoshan by the phoenix for half a year, but I couldn't adapt to my old life. When I came down from the mountain again, I finally found a place to stay, and Ah Cheng and his mother took me in temporarily. But who knows, I met Xiong Lie again, Bofeng besieged the city, I was captured by Xiong Lie out of Xiangcheng, I noticed Xiong Lie's plan, but I was locked up in Furong Villa. Then, Yuan Jue came, but he didn't know that I was locked up, and Xiong Lie and Qu Jie took me back to Mucheng right under his nose, wanting to exchange me for Yuan He to open the city gate. ”

The memories are full of scarred pasts.

"No, it's not like this...... Hou Yue defended weakly, "Sister Niyin, you misunderstood, you all misunderstood." ”

I snorted, and I didn't even have the strength to squeeze out a smile.

"Although the second prince knows that you are dead, he said that he will never believe you until he sees your body. He has never given up looking for you in the past six months, Ah Cheng...... Ah Cheng is the second son's person...... "Hou Yue was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, for fear that he would not be able to explain clearly. "I was thinking about it when I saw him in the palace, but later I found out that it was really him, he was the second son's inner response to stay in Xiangcheng, and a lot of news was passed on by him to the second son. I've only seen him once, but I know the relationship between him and the second son, by the way, by the way, sister, do you remember that when we hid in Xiangcheng half a year ago, didn't the second son go out to meet someone? At that time, I followed the second son, and it was Ah Cheng who saw him. Ah Cheng deliberately kept you, because after he confirmed that you were the person the second son was looking for, he sent the news out. After the second son got the news, he immediately rushed to Xiangcheng, but he didn't expect to be a step slower, Bofeng slaughtered the city, and there was nothing. He only received the news from the King of Quxiong and rushed to Furong Villa after that, sister, I can testify to this! ”

"It's late," I sighed, "it's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, it's missed." ”

"Sister, do you really want to marry the monarch? You know, once you get married, you and the second son will become uncles and sisters-in-law......" Hou Yue spared no effort to persuade me, I am afraid that even at the last moment, he will still persuade me to change my mind without giving up.

But these words, after all, still have an impact on me, but when the heart is dead, the heart is dead. "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, so as not to let others listen to it and cause trouble in your life."

I said, turned and walked down the hill path.

After lunch, I went to the temple alone to meditate and try to calm down.

"Girl." I don't know how long later, Cui Xi quietly came in from outside, walked to me in a soft voice, and whispered in my ear in a voice that did not disturb others, "Master Cheng and Master Zhao are here." ”

Cheng Jing and Zhao Sheng? When I heard about these two people, I slowly opened my closed eyes, and Cui Xi seemed to understand what I meant, and said, "The two adults have come to give the girl something for the wedding on the order of His Majesty the King." ”

I hesitated for a moment, then raised a hand, and Cui helped me to my feet with joy.

When we rushed back to the West Chamber, Cheng Jing and Zhao Sheng were sitting in the courtyard, and when they saw me, they got up and bowed slightly. Cheng Jing said, "Niyin girl, I haven't seen you for many days." Your Majesty instructed us to come and give the girl a wedding dress and some other items. ”

"Good work." I glanced at the large boxes placed on the side of the courtyard and greeted lukewarmly.

"Your Majesty has been busy with things for the past two days, and it is difficult to get out for a while, so I can't come in person. So, ask the girl if there is anything else she needs to add? Cheng Jing still bowed and didn't get up.

"Master Cheng has something to say." I could hear the meaning of his words.

Cheng Jing chuckled lightly and said, "The minister knows that nothing can be hidden from the girl's eyes. Only then did he straighten up and look left and right, "Girl, there have been a lot of twists and turns in the past two days, Your Majesty is afraid that Lord Meng's line will be unfavorable to the girl, although this place is pure, it is difficult to ensure that she will not be stared at." There are still three days left for the wedding, and the girl is careful not to fall into the ambush of some people. ”

I nodded.

It turned out that the upward direction was already surging.

After Cheng Jing explained this, he had no intention of leaving. I saw him with his head down but raised his eyes to look at Zhao Sheng and Hou Yue, Zhao Sheng instantly understood, lowered his head and retreated. Hou Yue was embarrassed and looked at me.

Fang Qiao also raised his eyes to look at me at this time, I looked at him for a moment, understood what he meant, so I turned my head and said to Hou Yue, "You go and see where the abbot master is now?" I've got something to ask him later. ”

"Hmm." Hou Yue responded, still a little worried Cheng Jing, looked at me again, there was no way, or retreated.

"Lord Cheng, now there is no one else around, just say what you have to say." He hinted that everyone around him had stepped out, and I thought he must have something to tell me that no one else could know.

"Niyin girl, the minister dares to ask you," Cheng Jing said, "Do you have anything to do with the death of Qu Jiequ girl?" ”

"Why do you ask?" I don't understand, why even Cheng Jing came to ask me this sentence now. "That night, you clearly saw that I arrived after you arrived there and had already moved Qu Jie's body out."

"However, it is also possible that after you killed Miss Qu, you left there to deal with the traces, and you only returned there after we found out that Miss Qu was dead." Cheng Jing's reasoning suddenly made me speechless, unable to argue, he then said, "The cause of Miss Qu's death is a mystery, and I can't detect what kind of poison she has, Miss Qu's death is extremely horrific, bleeding from all her orifices, her eyes are wide open, and in less than an hour, the face of the corpse has shown signs of swelling and whitening, and all these guards guarding outside have not heard any movement." If you take the palace as it is said, it is death without turning a blind eye. can make Miss Qu die so miserably, the minister thought that it would not be man-made, and there are few people in the palace with strange arts, as far as the minister knows, one is Mrs. Ruyi who died tragically in the palace back then, the second is the Yibu witch Concubine Yun who is now the concubine, and the third is the former good sister of the concubine, and now Mrs. Lan, and this fourth ......"

"It's me." I knew that he was going to say that I, if according to Cheng Jing's speculation, all this really made sense, and now there are only a few possibilities for people who can enter and leave the palace and use strange arts. "I also thought that Lord Cheng's speculation was right, but there is one thing you said wrong."

"Which point?" Cheng Jing asked.

"Me." I said, "Master Cheng overestimated me, half a year ago for Bao Biluo and the child in his womb, I have already dispersed my cultivation. Now, I'm just an ordinary person like you. ”

Cheng Jing hesitated, narrowing his eyes slightly and falling into thought. "But no one can prove whether you can still use sorcery, maybe you can hide it, but you can't confirm who you are now."

"Then what Lord Yicheng means, how do you want me to prove it?" It seems that Cheng Jing has another purpose for this trip, he wants to confirm whether I can use the witchcraft he said to harm people.

"Cheng Jing doesn't know." Cheng Jing said, "Can that girl think of other people who have this ability?" ”

Others?! Phoenix...... No, it can't be Phoenix, Phoenix doesn't know Qu Jie at all, and it is impossible for her to have a reason to harm her.

My hesitation seemed to make Cheng Jing see something, and his eyes changed, as if he was exploring, as if he was re-evaluating.

"Why does Lord Cheng suspect that someone else did it, as you said, there are four people who can manipulate magic in the palace. In addition to Mrs. Ruyi, who has died, and me, who may not be suspicious, then there are two other people, why don't you suspect them? I asked rhetorically.

The minister had already thought of it. It's just that one of them is Mrs. Lan, His Majesty's side lady, who has nothing to do with Qu Jie, and there is no reason to kill Qu Jie and Miss Qu. And the second is Concubine Yun, she is the biological mother of the second son Yuan Jue, and Qu Jie is the fiancée of the second son Yuan Jue, the Qu family has given everything for the second son, how could Concubine Yun hurt the second son's fiancée, "Cheng Jing didn't just doubt me, he suspected all the people with strange skills."

"Wait a minute," I suddenly thought of something, "you just said, how did Qu Jie die?" (To be continued.) )
