Chapter 255
Chen Jia listened to Ah Jiu's question, and his heart sank again, if the words of this palace maid just now reached the emperor of Jin Anguo, I am afraid that everyone would suspect that Cheng Hu did it. Because Cheng Hu has been cold and indifferent for so long, and the newly built house is openly separated from him, he has more doubts than anyone else.
But Chen Jia knew that Cheng Hu couldn't do that. Although he only has Hai Ling in his heart, he also thinks that Su Xin is a trouble, but he will not kill Su Xin because of trouble, and Cheng Hu is not so cruel and will attack a woman.
Who else wants Su Xin to die?
"Poor princess, she's pregnant."
"What are you talking about" The palace maid said in surprise again, and Cheng Hu rushed over, his eyes wide.
"The princess is pregnant, and she just found out that she didn't want Hou Ye to let her live outside, so let's not tell Hou Ye. It's okay to say so, she doesn't want to be a villain. The maid said with tears in her eyes.
Ah Jiu nodded on the side, "She is pregnant, and I also saw that she was pregnant when I turned it just now." ”
"Alas" Chen Jia's tears also welled up, it seems that Su Xin also has a stomach full of hardships, but it's a pity that he knows all this at this time.
Princess Suxin's funeral was very grand, and Chen Jia spent a lot of money to make the funeral look luxurious and decent, hoping to block the mouth of everyone in Yuancheng.
The Sima family didn't seem to behave abnormally, the previous Sima Young Master, that is, the current Sima Master, also attended the princess's funeral in a decent manner, and Chen Jia sent Qi and Bu to keep an eye on the Sima family. It is also said that there is no special move, and no one went to Jin'an to report or contact with it.
The person who went to Jin'an Kyoto to deliver the news was almost in Jin'an Kyoto when he was kidnapped, but fortunately, he didn't intercept it. It was Cheng Hu's people who went to report the news, and it shouldn't have happened. If Chen Jia knew about this, he should have breathed a sigh of relief. But how did Chen Jia know that rumors were like birds with wings, flying all over the sky, where she could stop them.
The streets and alleys of Yuancheng are talking about the cause of the princess's death, and the thoughts of most Jin'an people coincide with Chen Jia's worries. They all felt that the Hou Ye loved his wife and sent someone to kill the princess, and he was a little imaginative. also knew about Mrs. Hou's miscarriage, and even strung the two things together, saying that Mrs. Hou was jealous and couldn't tolerate the princess. did not hesitate to be born and framed the princess. Hou Ye was deceived by Mrs. Hou's fallacies and killed the innocent Princess Suxin, and even the news that Princess Suxin was pregnant when she died was spread outside.
For a time, the aborigines of Jin'an in the entire Yuancheng were filled with righteous indignation, and even the emilocated Shenghe residents and Jin'an aborigines were divided into two factions, and some of the shops of Shenghe residents were maliciously vandalized and set on fire by Jin'an people. Even if they buy something on the street, they don't consciously stand apart. It is often the people who wear Jin'an costumes to stand together. Shenghe stood in another place, and waved his fist at the slightest disagreement. Cheng Zhen is in charge of the government and has to receive many such cases every day, and he also has a headache for this.
Chen Jia was also very distressed, but she was not cruel enough to slaughter the city to suppress the rumors, so she could only let the rumors spread one after another, hoping that with the passage of time, the rumors would dissipate invisibly.
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and rumors spread much faster than horses. The matter of Princess Suxin quickly spread all over Jin'an and Yuancheng, where is it still a month, Chen Jia is too underestimating the spread of rumors and Wu Kunpeng's hatred.
In less than a month, there was news from Jin'an's side that Jin'an was reorganizing the army, and Chu Xiuyu also knew the news of Princess Suxin's death.
After Lin Mufeng got rid of Su Xin, he didn't stay long, knowing that the Cheng family was doing a funeral, and he also went to attend the funeral under the pretext of going to the funeral, and then returned to Shenghe's capital to wait for the news of Emperor Wuji. However, after he arrived in Shenghe Capital, he received the news that the emperor asked him to go back immediately, and he had to set off to return to Wuji. Before leaving, he asked someone to bring a letter to Chen Jia, asking her to be careful that Wu Kunpeng of Jin'an sent troops to attack Yuancheng.
Chen Jia had expected that things would be big. So after Su Xin was buried, Chen Jia asked Chen and Cheng Dazhuang to return to the capital, and asked Cheng Zhen to send his family members to Fancheng to avoid the war. He and Cheng Hu hurriedly arranged their troops. Chen Jia and Cheng Hu urgently prepared for war on the one hand, and asked Sun Aoting for help on the other.
"Chen Jia, will it be less serious. I heard that Emperor Jin'an is absurd and unreasonable, and Wu Kunpeng is in charge of the government and politics. Cheng Hu didn't feel sad about Su Xin's departure, Chen Jia sighed that Su Xin's payment was inhuman, if he could have fought to marry other marquis, maybe there would not have been such a tragedy.
"It's because it's Wu Kunpeng that it's terrifying, he is a saint and a person, and he has a deep hatred for saints."
"Seriously"
"You indulge in the emotions between you and Hai Ling every day, how do you know, I confronted him face to face, and he himself said that he has a deep blood feud with Shenghe."
No wonder Chen Jia complained about Cheng Hu, if he could be smarter, even if it was a little worse, and his dislike for the princess was not so obvious, he would not have ended up in this situation.
"That's just a matter of preparation."
Chen Jia nodded and said no more.
Chen Jia received Lin Mufeng's letter, and after reading it, he threw it aside, and happened to be picked up by Ah Jiu on the side.
"Master, Ah Jiu has something to say." Ah Jiu saw the contents of the letter and knelt on one knee.
"What's the matter, you can say it, you don't have to be polite with me." Chen Jia motioned for Ah Jiu to get up and speak, and Ah Jiu stood up and replied.
"When I was in Wuji, Ah Jiu saw Lin Mufeng walking out of Mrs. Hou's tent, and when I went to ask, he only said that he was sending a letter through the darkness. But Ah Jiu has always been sensitive to sound, and Ah Jiu can be sure that that person is Lin Mufeng. ”
"Ah Jiu, are you suspicious of something?"
"Ah Jiu suspects that Lin Mufeng has something to hide from his master, when you entered the city that day, his eyes were fluttering, and he clearly had something to hide from his master."
"What can he hide from me" Chen Jia thought about it, even if he and Lin Mufeng were in a relationship, it was normal for him to hide something from himself, and anyone could have their own private space. No, Ah Jiu said something about the tent of Wuji Country. "What did you say, did he go to Hai Ling's tent, but that day he told me that he was letting Shi Zunbao see Hai Ling." Chen Jia suddenly remembered Lin Mufeng's words at that time, and hurriedly confirmed with Ah Jiu.
"Yes, he was the only one who went to Mrs. Hou's tent that day. Ah Jiu didn't notice when he went, Ah Jiu was patrolling the periphery when he was talking, but when he came out, he happened to be caught by me, so I stepped forward to ask him. ”
"Could it be that Lin Mufeng has been lying to me, he didn't let Shi Zunbao see Hai Ling at all, and besides, Hai Ling was also deceived by him" Chen Jia muttered suspiciously.
"Ah Jiu thinks it's suspicious that he came to Yuancheng."
"Ah Jiu, do you suspect that he killed Su Xin" Chen Jia might as well pick it out. "But when he entered the city with us, Su Xin was already dead."
"Yes, he set off a day earlier than his master, why did he arrive at the same time as his master, and the master did not travel in a starry night. In addition, when he passed by the new house for the first time, Ah Jiu saw his weak expression, and now he sent such a letter to his master, Ah Jiu felt that he was even more suspicious. ”
"Seriously" Chen Jia felt that her heart was about to stop beating. The blood around his body also seemed to be slowly clotting.
"The master Ah Jiu is only loyal to the master." Ah Jiu's words were loud, and he clenched his fists and knelt on one knee to show his loyalty, and Chen Jia could no longer have any doubts. To be continued
