424 Death of King Xuan
Three days later, a booklet about King Xuan's crimes reached the hands of Emperor Chu, which recorded in detail what King Xuan had done over the years, and each pile was enough to put King Xuan to death. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Empress Chu was furious and decreed that her position as prince would be reduced, and her royal jade butterfly would be reduced to a commoner and permanently banned.
A holy decree, King Xuan has no possibility of turning over from now on. However, no one expected that less than half a day after this holy decree was delivered to King Xuan's Mansion, King Xuan's Mansion was completely annihilated by a fire. The flames soared into the sky, staining most of the capital red, and after the fire was extinguished, only a few charred corpses were left in the main courtyard of King Xuan's Mansion. One of the corpses on his right hand had an arrow wound on his bone, and he was also carrying King Xuan's personal jade pendant, and the scorched corpse was King Xuan's Ronglan.
After the news came to the palace, Emperor Chu was furious, the residual poison that had not been cleared in his body exploded, and he vomited blood and fainted on the spot, but fortunately, Wen Jixuan took action to stabilize Emperor Chu's condition, but even so, Emperor Chu fell ill on the couch, with nightmares every day, and his body weakened at the speed of his eyes.
"I didn't expect Emperor Chu to be so ill because of King Xuan's death."
In King Ling's mansion, Wen Jixuan said with emotion.
Although he did not personally experience the situation in the palace that day, he also knew that it was dangerous, King Xuan forced the palace, if it were not for the King of Yu and several people who finally arrived in time with his troops, I am afraid that Emperor Chu would have died under the sword of King Xuan, and the throne also fell into the hands of King Xuan, but despite this, Emperor Chu still did not ask for King Xuan's life, but only cut his throne and permanently imprisoned.
It's a pity that King Xuan never wanted a life, and that fire shocked the entire capital, and King Xuan was also buried in the fire.
Emperor Chu's body deteriorated for King Xuan's death, and his body could last at least half a year under the stimulation of the pill, but now with such a stimulus, there are at most two months to live.
Rong Jing touched the scar on his neck that had already formed a scar, and said coldly with mockery between his eyebrows: "For King Xuan? You can't help but think too highly of him, the reason why the old man has become like this is probably only because he has done too many bad things, so he can't be at peace!"
"He's upset? There were many people who died at his hands back then, but he never felt guilty. Wen Jixuan sighed.
When Xue Rou heard this, she put the newly made Sui Hanxiang sealing wax in her hand into the brocade box, carefully covered it with brocade, and said with a light smile: "How can it be the same?" The people he killed back then were either against him or hindered his path to power, and it was normal to hate each other and fight, so why should he feel guilty for killing the enemy? But what about the Duan family? ”
Duan Yining has a deep affection for him, Duan Tianhe has the grace of supporting him, and the Fu Min Duan family has devoted all their strength to help him win the crown. The Duan family has never been sorry for him, but in order to protect himself, he killed the entire Duan family, and even the woman who never complained about him was killed by him himself. Back then, Duan Yining was willing to die, just to save King Xuan's life, but now even their only bloodline has died in the hands of Emperor Chu, and Emperor Chu has nightmares every night, I'm afraid that the gentle woman will come to him......"
Xue Rou closed the brocade box in his hand with a "snap", put it aside and said: "When people are old, they will always be soft-hearted, not to mention that King Xuan personally told him that Duan Yining had no regrets about his death, and that sentence of not seeing each other again evoked all his memories and guilt about that woman, otherwise with Emperor Chu's thoughts, how could he leave King Xuan alive?" It's a pity that King Xuan died, and his only chance to atone for his sins was gone. ”
Just like Zhaorong at the beginning, she enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Yin family for more than ten years with peace of mind, and when it came, she suddenly remembered the friendship of the year, and remembered her friend who died because of her betrayal, and she thought that she could wash away her sins every day, but she never thought that the dead were dead after all, betrayed, and destined to betray.
Whether it is Zhaorong or Emperor Chu, if time is rewind and do it again, they will still make the same choice.
The repentance and guilt of idleness and boredom are nothing more than the time when the victor ascends to the top and is lonely and widowed in order to seek peace of mind.
Wen Jixuan heard the words from Xue Rou's mouth, looked at the obviously gentle smile on her face, and didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little chill down her back. He rubbed his arms, glanced at Sui Hanxiang in the brocade box, frowned, and said, "What are you going to do next?" King Xuan died, King Yu suddenly appeared, now Xie Chen seems to have a plan to get closer to King Yu, if he takes refuge in King Yu, I am afraid that the forces that originally belonged to King Xuan in the court will also be collected by King Yu, and then you will not help King Yu in vain? ”
Rong Jing raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and a cold glint appeared in his narrow phoenix eyes: "He wants to pick up a bargain, how can it be so easy?" Let's not talk about Xie Chen's incident, it is not certain that the position of the head of the household book will not sit firmly, not to mention that this king and Rourou have also prepared a big gift for him, so that he can be happy. ”
Wen Jixuan's face was suddenly full of curiosity: "What kind of gift?" ”
Rong Jing squinted at him: "You guess." ”
"...... "He guessed the!" Wen Jixuan rolled his eyes with black lines, since he met Rong Jing and Xue Rou, he began to feel that the most annoying thing in this world is people who use their brains, not to mention that the two in front of him are darker than the other, it is strange that he can guess.
Rong Jing lifted his lips and smiled when he saw this, and then turned his voice and asked, "By the way, did you get the things you got?" ”
Wen Jixuan said angrily: "Of course I got it, so many people heard Li Sheng say that the poison of the redundant poison in the body of Emperor Chu was angry, this time he was angry and attacked the heart and caused the poison, the only thing that can detoxify is that thing, even if the Empress Dowager Xiao is unwilling, it is impossible to carry the charge of murdering the emperor on the surface, so after knowing it, she immediately ordered someone to break the piece of jade and send it over." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a jade box from his sleeve, and when he opened it, he could see a light green crystal clear jade-like thing lying inside, Wen Jixuan took it out with his hand, and saw the place where his fingers pinched, the crystal suddenly sunken down, like a softened liquid, gathering towards both ends, but it could not be broken because of the layer of epidermis.
Xue Rou immediately frowned when she saw that thing: "Jade Spirit Heart? What do you want this thing for? ”
Wen Jixuan glanced at Rong Jing, and only then did he say after seeing Rong Jing nodding: "When the girl next to you was hit by an arrow in King Xuan's Mansion that day, the arrow carried the poison of drunken black grass, although the injury was fine at that time, but the toxin entered the body, and if you want to detoxify, you must have this thing, but this jade spirit heart has been in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiao of Shou'an Palace since the Wanshou Festival, and the Thirteenth Master has always been at odds with her, so she took this opportunity to deceive her." ”
When Xue Rou heard this, she immediately asked, "The poison in Qin Xi's body?" ”
"Don't worry, with the heart of the jade spirit, plus the poison bead in your hand, I am eighty percent sure that I can configure the antidote."
Xue Rou was relieved when she heard this, and after Wen Jixuan told Rong Jing about the situation in the palace, he directly asked Xue Rou for the poison bead and went to concoct the antidote to the drunken black grass. After Wen Jixuan left, Xue Rou tapped the table and frowned: "How can this Nanchu have drunken black grass?" I remember that thing is only available in the north, and the environment of Nanchu can't grow drunken black grass at all. ”
Rong Jing thought about it when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "What about Beirong?" ”
Xue Rou was slightly stunned, came back to her senses and said with a different face: "Are you suspicious of Hu Yanbo?" ”
Rong Jing said lightly: "I don't know, I just think it's a bit too much of a coincidence." King Yu has been planning for so long, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be just for King Xuan, and don't you think it's strange that the things in King Xuan's Mansion that day were too hasty, and the haste didn't look like it was planned at all, but more like a temporary idea? ”
When Xue Rou heard this, she immediately remembered the events of the day in the Xuanwang Mansion, whether it was Xie Yiliu's reaction that day, or the progress of things later, it made her feel that something was wrong, she did suspect it at that time, but because Emperor Chu was suddenly summoned, she didn't think much about it, and when she heard Rong Jing mention it, the suspicion in her heart that had almost faded resurfaced.
She carefully recalled what happened that day, filtered the reactions of everyone present that day, but did not find the slightest abnormality, but this made her more and more suspicious, she always felt as if she had missed something......
Xuanwang ...... Xie Yiliu...... Yuwang ...... Drunken Grass ......
The figures in his mind kept flashing, and in those figures, there seemed to be a line faintly emerging, but he couldn't catch it, and after a while, Xue Rou asked in a deep voice, "How is Xie Yiliu now?" ”
"Still in prison."
"Has anyone ever seen her?"
Rong Jing shook her head: "After Hua Yunxiao sent her in, no one has ever seen her. Xie Chen is too busy to take care of herself at the moment, plus this time she joined forces with the King of Yu, and almost even the Xie family was trapped, Xie Chen had no intention of saving her, if the King of Yu didn't make a move, even if Xie Yiliu could escape this time, there would be no place in the capital in the future. After speaking, he looked at Xue Rou's somewhat cold face, and continued: "But don't worry, she hurt you and Qin Xi, and I won't let her get out of the prison safely." ”
Xue Rou frowned when she heard this, and the doubts in her heart not only did not go, but became even greater.
Xie Yiliu is not a stupid person, she knows that if she can't kill herself that day, it will be her who will die, even if the people she arranged at that time killed her and Qin Xi, but Rong Jing is still there, and Xie Yiliu can't live. Is it really for the sake of her life, that she would rather tear her face with the Xie family, or even pay for her own life?
Xue Rou couldn't help but rub her eyebrows, only to feel that her thoughts were a little chaotic.
"What's wrong?"
"I still think something is wrong, but I don't know what's wrong.
Rong Jing chuckled when he heard this, he rarely saw Xue Rou so confused, he reached out and rubbed Xue Rou's long hair, and said lightly: "If you can't think of it, forget it, the soldiers will block, the water will cover it, no matter what they calculate, as long as the person is dead, even if there is a big calculation, it is useless." ”
Xue Rou was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing the next second. She suddenly felt that she had really gotten into a dead end, and she was used to calculating everywhere, so she looked at everything on the complicated side, in fact, sometimes things are not so difficult, just like Rong Jing said, no matter what Xie Yiliu and King Yu want to calculate, as long as people die, even if there are more conspiracies, what can they do?
After his thoughts were clear, Xue Rou's face relaxed: "By the way, someone from the palace said that the county lord's mansion has been completely repaired, and I have to move over in the next few days." ”
Rong Jing's face was full of unhappiness: "Why are you moving?" That place has been empty for so many years, and it has not been inhabited! ”
Xue Rou smiled, although she hadn't been to the county lord's mansion yet, but Qin Yan and Changqing had already gone to explore the road, I heard Qin Yan say that it was very luxurious, and the Chu Emperor rewarded her there, I don't know how many people in Beijing were envious, how could they be so unpopular in Rong Jing's mouth? She couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Emperor Chu won't rest assured that I live in King Ling's Mansion." ”
This time King Xuan forced the palace to remind him, in the final analysis, the situation of Rong Jing and King Xuan is almost the same, coupled with the words that Lu Qingping said before he died that day, now there are faint people in the court who have speculated about Rong Jing's identity, and Emperor Chu will never let Rong Jing have the opportunity to become the second King Xuan.
Rong Jing pursed his lips, of course he knew the old man's thoughts, if he didn't dare to let him enter the court before, I'm afraid that since the day King Xuan forced the palace, he would be even more afraid of letting him take power, Xue Rou's identity has been exposed now, Emperor Chu knows that she is the Ning family, how can he allow her to continue to live in King Ling's mansion?
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hold Xue Rou and said: "I don't want you to go, if the old man dares to force you to go, then let Wen Jixuan stab him to death with a needle, anyway, he won't live long." ”
The corners of Xue Rou's mouth twitched: "Don't mess around, Emperor Chu can't die yet." And the county lord's mansion is not far from the palace, if you want to see me, go directly to it, with your skills, who can stop you? ”
Rong Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he blinked ambiguously on purpose: "Rourou, do you want to leave the door for me?" ”
Xue Rou said lightly: "I will let Qin Yan leave it for you." ”
The corners of Rong Jing's mouth twitched, and suddenly the whole person was not good. He still remembered that on the day when Xue Rou was injured, after the two of them stabbed the window paper, he just teased a few more words, Xue Rou was embarrassed and directly asked Qin Yan to guard the door, and after the beating, he never entered Xue Rou's room at night, and finally went in once, and was almost beaten out by Qin Yan with a stick.
Xue Rou looked at his stiff face and smiled very happily.
After Wen Jixuan got the heart of the jade spirit, he quickly concocted the antidote of drunken blackgrass, and after Qin Xi took it, the toxicity of drunken blackgrass was eliminated, but because the trauma was still there, he still needed to stay in bed to recuperate for a period of time, and at the same time, the situation in the court and China also began to change greatly, as soon as King Xuan died, all the courtiers who were originally attached to him were in danger, or Mingzhe to protect themselves, or to take refuge in King Qing and King Fu, for a while, King Qing and King Fu rose sharply, and what everyone didn't expect was that King Yu also began to enter and leave the court and began to appear in front of people.
Not only that, but the Emperor of Chu rewarded him and ordered him to take over the power of King Xuan, which faintly meant that he would replace King Xuan's original position in the court. For a time, the king of Yu was in the limelight in the court, but no one noticed that some strange news began to spread in Beijing. (To be continued.) )
