343 The death of the Emperor of the Left Capital

Xue Rou raised her eyebrows lightly, as if she didn't hear the sneer in Wen Jixuan's words at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And after Rong Jing saw Wen Jixuan, the flush on his face suddenly dissipated, as if he had never appeared, and the whole person returned to his previous lazy appearance, walked to Xue Rou and sat down next to Wen Jixuan and said, "You are very idle?" What is the king doing here in the middle of the night? ”

Wen Jixuan glanced at Rong Jing when he heard this, "I don't want to come, but you are not afraid of overturning the boat by using the fetal poison in your body as a joke to scare Your Majesty?" ”

Xue Rou heard Wen Jixuan's words, her eyes showed some surprise, and she turned her head to look at Rong Jing.

She originally thought that Rong Jing's poisonous hair was all pretended to be when she was in the imperial study before, but at this time, listening to Wen Jixuan's meaning, how could it seem that Rong Jing deliberately stimulated the fetal poison in his body to scare Emperor Chu.

Wen Jixuan seemed to know what Xue Rou wanted to ask, and said lightly: "The prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, and no one knows better than Your Majesty the situation when he was poisoned, and I am not the only one who has driven the poison for the prince over the years, and there are countless of them. ”

Xue Rou pursed her lips slightly when she heard this, and looked at Wen Jixuan: "What is the poison in his body now?" ”

Wen Jixuan's face was slightly gloomy and said: "The fetal poison in the prince's body was forcibly suppressed with the internal force in his body and the incense of the year, and the pills I prepared and the injection in Ming Jiufang in the Zhou Kingdom before were just to suspend the poison, if the prince was careful and warm, it would be safe for at least two years, but since the prince returned to China, he has taken the initiative to stimulate the toxins in his body twice, and each time he activated, it will only make the poison in his body more difficult to suppress." ”

Xue Rou's face was ugly after hearing Wen Jixuan's words.

Rong Jing leaned back in the chair and said lightly: "My own body knows it, and if I didn't poison my hair just now, the old man would definitely be embarrassed." "When he entered the imperial study before, he heard the conversation between King Qing and King Xuan, and he already knew that Huo Jingling didn't know about Xue Rou at all, so naturally he didn't tell Emperor Chu what they had guessed before, and Emperor Chu suddenly summoned Xue Rou into the palace without knowing Xue Rou's identity, and it could only be for her to enter the Ling Palace.

Xue Rou is a woman after all, even if he messes around before, it will inevitably cause gossip, not to mention that Xue Rou has been constantly cleaning up the internal affairs of the palace during this period of time, and he has offended many villains, someone must have slandered in front of the Chu Emperor to make him suddenly order Xue Rou to enter the palace, the Chu Emperor is suspicious and ruthless, if he is suspicious of Xue Rou, I am afraid that even if he forcibly expells him, he will definitely let Xue Rou leave the Ling Palace.

Instead of making the old man difficult, it is better for him to use internal force to cause redundant poison in the body to tell the old man that his life is short, even if he finds a capable and intelligent manager, it is just a joke and a gamble, not to mention that the old man has always been dead about what he wants to enter the court anyway, and now he just exchanges the old man's safety for Rourou with not entering the court, he thinks it is too cost-effective.

Xue Rou frowned and looked at Rong Jing, if there was anything she didn't understand before, after hearing his words at this time, everything before was connected, she remembered the strange movements and tone of the content Jing in the imperial study before, and then remembered the expression of Emperor Chu when they left, and then suddenly realized, no wonder she felt strange all the way, Emperor Chu summoned her and Rong Jing into the palace overnight, the biggest possibility was because of her, with Emperor Chu's suspicious personality, how could she let her and Rong Jing out of the palace without asking or saying anything, now that I think about it, I am afraid that it was Rong Jing who borrowed the matter of entering the court to make Emperor Chu loosen his mouth about her existence.

She sighed slightly and said, "Why do you want to do this, even if Emperor Chu is really suspicious, I have my own way to deal with it." ”

Rong Jing smiled and said: "I know that Rourou has a way, but since there is a simple way, why bother so much, if it is not expected, the old man will definitely send someone to Yunzhou tomorrow to investigate your details, Rourou, is there a problem in Yunzhou?" ”

"Naturally, there is no problem over there in Yunzhou."

Xue Rou shook her head, when she left Yunzhou before, she had already thought that there would be this day, and everything had naturally been arranged over there, but presumably this time it was not just as simple as Emperor Chu, with Huo Jingling here, King Qing would naturally know what she had done in Zhou Guojing, even if she was not sure of her relationship with the Ning family, King Qing's Mansion would definitely send someone to Yunzhou to investigate in detail, and once King Qing moved, King Fu and King Xuan would naturally not lag behind, plus Emperor Chu's men and horses and the Xiao and Xie families, There are also those who secretly covet the throne and always pay attention to the movements of the imperial city, even if Yunzhou doesn't want to be lively.

Wen Jixuan said lightly after hearing this: "There must be no problem with Miss Xue acting properly, but in addition to reminding the prince not to take the poisonous beard in your body, I came here tonight to remind the prince not to take the poisonous beard in your body, and more importantly, to tell you one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Zuodu Yushi Ke Xingqing is dead."

The news brought by Wen Jixuan surprised Xue Rou and Rong Jing, Ke Xingqing, the imperial history of the left capital, can be said to be one of the most trusted courtiers of the Chu Emperor, he is in charge of the Imperial Palace, although the official position is only the second grade, but the actual power and responsibility can even be compared with the position of Shangshu, and even not lower than the rights of the officials at the head of the six departments, and compared with him, the right capital imperial history of the same second grade is much inferior.

Emperor Chu relied on Ke Xingqing a lot, but who would have thought that he would die suddenly?

Xue Rou couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "When did this news happen?" ”

Wen Jixuan said: "Before you entered the palace, this news has been transmitted to the palace, it is said that Ke Xingqing was killed by mistake because of a dispute with someone in Yanchun Tower, but no one believes this statement, neither His Majesty nor Ke Xingqing's family, and this news is still hidden for the time being, but presumably the whole Beijing will know about it tomorrow at the latest." ”

Rong Jing sneered when he heard this: "Yanchun Tower is the largest green building in Beijing, Ke Xingqing is pedantic and doesn't know how to be flexible, but he has always been clean and self-conscious, and he is not ashamed of those who claim to be famous people who linger in the land of fireworks, how could he go to Yanchun Lilou to drink flower wine?" ”

Xue Rou also nodded, Luo Qiusheng gave her the name of Ke Xingqing in the detailed list of officials in Beijing, it is said that he is pedantic and stubborn, arrogant and difficult to persuade and adapt, because he is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is responsible for supervising and correcting the DPRK and the Central People's Court, although he cannot compete with the Xiao and Xie families, but he is also one of the very few people in the DPRK who do not rely on them.

And Xue Rou got the news before, whether it was an open investigation or a secret visit, Ke Xingqing didn't look like a person who would run to drink flower wine and fight with the National People's Congress, not to mention that this was in the imperial city, how could a dignified second-grade official die in the Qing/Lou so coincidentally?
