Chapter 729: Harm Yourself
Xiangqiao originally took a three-day leave, and she also said that she would send someone to pick her up in three days, but she didn't want to have such a thing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's useless to blame yourself now.
"Let people send her home and bury her well, and give her more money, I remember that she still has younger brothers and sisters at home." Shen Jingyi said in a low voice.
When Chen Yu came in, he saw her sitting on the kang without saying a word. He thought about it, but after all, he didn't speak, the maid died a terrible death, and the person who did it not only ruined her innocence, but also cut off her limbs and slashed her body several times.
This is the first time in recent years that such a tragedy has occurred in Kyoto.
"Jingyi, the Criminal Department has intervened, this matter will inevitably be investigated to the end, you don't have to blame yourself anymore."
"But how can he be the one who serves me...... Watching her die innocently? Her eyes reddened, "It must be Shen Zhuo, it must be him, he should still be able to do it, we have to find him out quickly." ”
Chen Yu clapped her hand and took her into his arms, "I have already ordered it to go down, and the Jinyi Guard will do everything in its power to track down his whereabouts." In addition, from now on, everyone in Fuchu is not allowed to go out without permission. ”
"I know, I must arrange these, and the guards in the house rely on you." She looked at him, and Chen Yu bowed slightly.
A few days later, there was still no progress in the case of the maid of the Chengguo Mansion, and the sensation caused by this matter was too huge, so even the emperor personally intervened.
Of course, there is also Shen Zhuo's reason for this.
In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Chen Yu and Xie Chen stood on the left and right sides respectively, and in front of the imperial case was the emperor with a sullen face.
"In other words, he is doing evil at my feet with his hidden guards?"
Chen Yu pursed his lips, "It can be said that the hidden guard suddenly appeared beside him, not for no reason, the biggest possibility is because of that person!" ”
He naturally knows who that person is, but because he knows, he is worried.
Xie Chen glanced at the emperor, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although you have ascended to the great treasure, but the Emperor Taishang above was also an emperor, not to mention, it also oppresses you." It is difficult to guarantee that he will not come back and make waves. ”
"Presumptuous," the emperor patted the imperial case, "you actually instigated me, I ......"
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Chen Yu also said loudly, it was rare that he did not refute Xie Chen.
This kind of thing that is good for everyone, why not do it?
"Your Majesty, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, as long as that hidden danger is removed, those people will have no master, and they will not pose any threat to you."
"The emperor is clear about the ability of the hidden guards, and the Jinyi guards are only afraid that they will not be their opponents if they go head-to-head." Chen Yu said.
The emperor is in a tangle, with his own father on one side and his throne on the other. There must be a decision between the two, he can't give up the throne, then, there is only one way to give up on him.
Closing his eyes, he said, "Xie Qing, leave this matter to you, be sure to ...... Decent! ”
Xie Chen bowed, "Minister, obey the order!" ”
"Ziming, the matter of that maid in your family must also be solved as soon as possible, I don't want to see other hidden guards, and also, Shen Zhuo will find him out as soon as possible, and I will break him into ten thousand pieces." In the last sentence, he gritted his teeth.
The primary throne made such a big case for him, this time, he is a relative of the Jade Emperor, and he will not spare this kid.
Chen Yu responded calmly, even if the emperor didn't order, for the sake of Jingyi, he had to find him. If this scourge is not removed, it is really a reproach.
After leaving the palace, Chen and Xie didn't even bother to do the salute, so they left separately.
In the South Palace, Xie Chen came slowly with his chamberlain, and when he arrived at the emperor, he saw that he was already an old man.
In just a few months, he has changed from the lord of a country to a shriveled and thin old man.
It's amazing.
Xie Chen looked at it coldly, and something unknown appeared in his heart, filling his heart.
If the person in front of him hadn't taken the wrong step back then and wronged the Xie family, how could his Xie family end up where they are now?
Why is he the only one who fights alone, burdened with the blood and hatred of the whole clan?
You can't even obey your own heart, and you have to give up the people you like.
All this is because of this man!
When the anger in his eyes gradually disappeared, Xie Chen spoke: "I heard that the Emperor Taishang is not in good health, and the emperor specially ordered Weichen to come to serve you to take medicine!" ”
The Emperor Taishang's cloudy eyes looked at him and narrowed, "Is it the Xie family boy?" As he spoke, he coughed, "Do you want to send me medicine or send me on my way?" ”
Xie Chen's face was pale, "Since you know it in your heart, why bother asking again." ”
"Haha...... cough cough cough ...... Ahem......" He gasped for a few breaths, and the ordinary bellows in his chest were extremely uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect you to send me on my way, I thought it would be him himself."
"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and there is little time to spare!"
Emperor Taishang tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Don't you dare, after all, it's your biological father, he's afraid!" ”
When he said this, he was inexplicably much happier.
Xie Chen didn't answer him, but brought the medicine to him with his own hands, "The medicine is almost cold, you better take it quickly!" ”
When the Emperor Taishang heard this, he stared at him stunned, stared at the medicine in front of him, stretched out his hand, and saw that it was full of wrinkled skin and dried like chicken feet, and he couldn't help but be in a trance.
Is this him? Is it really him?
Xie Chen waited impatiently, frowned slightly, and when he saw this, he immediately went up and took the medicine, and one of them stuck the emperor and poured the medicine down.
"When you killed all the men in the Xie family, did you ever think that there would be today?" Xie Chen stood in front of him with his hands in his hands.
The Emperor Taishang tried hard to support his eyelids, searched for his figure, and said, "If I knew that there was today, how could I have eradicated you all in the first place." ”
Hearing this, Xie Chen was furious, if he hadn't always been determined, he was afraid that he would have already killed him personally. Eventually, he endured.
"Harm people will eventually hurt, this is your retribution, the power you covet the most has never belonged to you, the position you want the most is now the person you hate the most, you just enjoy this last moment!" After speaking, he turned around indifferently and ordered: "The Emperor Taishang is terminally ill and collapsed in Nangong in September of the first year!" ”
Behind him, the Emperor Taishang slowly closed his eyes, his gaze suddenly clarified for a moment, and after a while, he gradually lost his breath.
There was a mourning up and down the Nangong, and the bell tower rang twenty-seven bells, and the news of the death of the Emperor Taishang spread all over Kyoto in an instant.
The entire imperial city changed into plain clothes as quickly as possible, and the ministers of the court and the central government also put on the filial piety that had been prepared for a long time.
When Shen Jingyi received the news, she was not surprised, changed her clothes and followed Chen Yu into the palace.
As soon as the Emperor Taishang died, some things would definitely be disrupted, and Shen Zhuo would not be so difficult to catch him without the help of the hidden guards.
