Chapter 126: The Jade Seal Case (10)
In the prison of Shuntian Mansion, Xu Qi waited for Liansheng and Xu Yan.
"How? Can you clear my name? ”
The young man who was in high spirits two days ago was now haggard, and he saw the two of them come over and grab the iron railing of the cell and ask.
In fact, Xu Qi was still taken care of in Shuntian Mansion. After all, he is a noble child, a single cell, and the inside is clean, which is already undesirable for ordinary people, but where has a son-in-law like Xu Qi suffered these hardships. In just two days, I couldn't eat or sleep, and I was in a state of anxiety.
"Xu Shizi, are you really innocent?"
Hasumi stood outside, looking him in the eye and said.
"What do you mean?" Xu Qi glanced at Xu Yan: "Sister, you doubt me?" ”
"You also participated in the banquet of King Yan's Mansion."
"Yes, King Yan's post, do I dare not go?" Xu Qi showed an aggrieved look: "I am just a prince of the Guogong Mansion, and our Xu family now only has the Queen Mother to rely on, as we all know, the Queen Mother is not having a good time in the palace." ”
When Xu Yan heard her brother say this, she also nodded and said, "Master, my brother can't help himself, he won't know anything." ”
"I've always wondered, what did King Yan discuss with you privately that caused two young women to lose their lives? Is it a rebellion or a jade seal? ”
Lian Sheng said tentatively, and sure enough, Xu Qi's pupils instantly dilated when he said the word jade seal, and then he hurriedly lowered his head, not wanting to be seen by others.
"On that day, you left the table with King Yan and King Qin, is it an accident?"
"What do you want to say?" Xu Qi, who was still haggard just now, suddenly straightened his waist at this moment. Lian Sheng knew that he was already on guard, and his suspicions were not wrong.
"What I want to say is, the scene that the red jade girl saw, is there also Xu Shizi among them."
"People are dead, you can say whatever you want?" Xu Qi sneered: "They all say that you are a criminal genius, I can't look at Er'er, and I have to take you as an example." ”
"Yes, the person is dead, and no one has proven that you were involved in the conspiracy. But I think, the Yan King and the Qin King of the Zongren Mansion. I won't just let you go. If I say to them, "You have confessed it, what do you think will be?" ”
Xu Qi was furious when he heard this. Pointing at Xu Yan and shouting: "Look at your bullshit master, she actually threatens me with the lives of our whole family!" ”
Xu Yan at the moment. My heart is very entangled. Before coming, Liansheng had already analyzed Xu Qi's suspicions for her.
Xu Qi attended the banquet. and King Yan and King Qin's sons once disappeared together for a period of time. Not long after he left the Bright Moon Pavilion, Wanmei was poisoned and died. These suspicions are connected, how can he be innocent.
"On that day in King Yan's Mansion, I suddenly left the table not to be with King Yan. It's to meet Wanmei. ”
Xu Qi smiled bitterly: "I have a deep relationship with Wan Mei, I didn't expect her to come to the banquet of Yanwang Mansion." Still sitting next to others, I watched her accompany the wine on the side, very uncomfortable, and then went out to buy a maid, let her call Wanmei out quietly, I asked her why she came here to accompany the wine She said that the housekeeper of Yanwangfu went to invite someone, how can she be, and complained that I could only sneak around with her, and asked me when I could take her over. Later, I made an appointment with her that I would go to her tomorrow and ask her to wait for me in Mingyue Pavilion, I thought the banquet was boring, and I didn't want to see her flattering others, so I left after talking to her. ”
"The next day we had a drink, I invited Yueru to help the fun, and after the end I was going to send Yueru away, but she said that there was still something to do, and at the same time brought me a bag of chestnut cake to Wanmei. I carried the chestnut cake to the Mingyue Pavilion, and Wanmei heard me say that Yueru asked me to bring it, and muttered that the moon was so kind. ”
"My Xu family has always been cautious, and I don't dare to participate in the things planned by King Yan and King Qin."
After Xu Qi finished speaking in one breath, Xu Yan stomped his feet angrily: "Brother, why didn't you say these things earlier, did you have to force it to the last resort?" ”
"It's elegant for people like us to play with singers, if it is known that I and Wanmei have reached the stage of talking about marriage, I am afraid of being ridiculed."
"Yueru asked you to bring some snacks back to Wanmei? Did Wanmei eat it at that time? ”
"I bought Wanmei's glutinous rice chicken from Shenxian Lou, which is her favorite food, and the chestnut cake was put aside, and she said that she made breakfast early, and she didn't eat it when I left."
When inspecting the scene, there was a half-eaten chestnut cake on the table in Wanmei's room, and the chestnut cake had been inspected, and arsenic was placed in it. So how did Yueru die in Lin Yuma's Annex?
"Xu Qi, Wanmei died after eating that chestnut cake, and there is arsenic there."
"What?" Xu Qi was shocked: "You mean that the moon is poisonous!" ”
"Yueru is just a tool, there are other people who poison her, and Wanmei has suffered an unwarranted disaster."
When Xu Qi heard this, he hammered the wall of the cell hard, and couldn't help crying bitterly.
"Why didn't I marry her home earlier, why did I put it off again and again."
People can't be resurrected after death, Xu Qi and Wanmei fall in love, but due to identity restrictions, he has not made a decision to take her out of Mingyue Pavilion, if people are separated forever today, he just can't regret it anymore.
"Xu Qi, I believe that you did not participate in the conspiracy of King Yan and others, but you are a relative of the Empress Dowager Xu, I don't believe they have not looked for you. I'm asking you questions now, and you just have to nod or shake your head, and it won't make it difficult for you. ”
Liansheng said as he wiped away his tears. Xu Qi nodded: "Okay, you ask." ”
"King Yan and others have come to you and want to win you over to do something with them, this matter has something to do with the jade seal, right." Liansheng's voice was extremely low, and Xu Qi nodded.
"In this matter, King Yan and Prince Qin are involved, and Lin Yuma is also involved, right?"
Xu Qi nodded.
"You don't know the specifics?"
Xu Qi looked at Liansheng with his eyes and replied with his eyes, Yes, I refuse to participate so I don't know.
"Okay, Xu Qi, I believe you."
"Master really believes that our Xu family is not involved in the conspiracy of King Yan and the others?" Xu Yan felt incredible.
"The Xu family is just an empty shell now, and the Empress Dowager Xu in the palace has no children, even if those people's conspiracy succeeds, what can the Xu family get? No matter who sits in that position, there will be no change in a childless queen mother, and I think if the Xu family is so shallow, it will not go through three dynasties without falling. ”
"Thank you, Master, for trusting our Xu family so much."
Xu Yan didn't expect Lian Sheng to think so clearly, Xu Qi was even more ashamed, he hid a lot of things, and almost involved the Xu family in the political whirlpool, it's really terrible to think about.
Lin Juma saw the prince of Yan and the prince of Qin in the Zongren Mansion.
"You're locked up too?" King Yan snorted.
Lin Pony sat on the grass silently, his hands clasped tightly.
The fingertips seemed to have the feeling of that day: grabbing Yueru's collar and pressing her head into the pond hard, Yueru was still struggling at first, and then gradually stopped struggling, turned her around to see, a beautiful little face was full of water droplets, her eyes were slightly open, and her lips were thick as if she wanted to say something, and she finally didn't make any sound.
Yueru is his lover who can't see people, Princess Yongning brought him wealth and power, Yueru makes him feel that he is a man, he uses Yueru, and finally has to kill him, he thinks that he participated in the conspiracy of King Yan, and when King Yan ascends to the throne, he can make Princess Yongning look at him differently, he forgot about it, Princess Yongning is the daughter of the current emperor, if King Yan usurps the throne, how can he tolerate the children of the emperor?
No one is innocent of this conspiracy. Thinking like this, Lin Juma suddenly lay on the grass and laughed.
Yiqiē is just a dream, Yueru, I will soon go underground to find you. (To be continued......)
PS: Yueru is Lin Yuma's lover, and Lin Yuma used her to poison Wanmei. Hongyu is the lover of Princess Yongning, she was framed by Lin Yuma, and inadvertently collided with the conspiracy of King Yan and others, and the prince of Qin Wang was blind, because of the late beauty He Hongyu left the banquet at the same time, and they both used gardenias, so they didn't do anything and killed the two of them. After Yueru sent the poisoned chestnut cake, her life also came to an end.
The most innocent of this tragedy may be only Wanmei, who is the most innocent. The story focuses on taste and color blindness. Sue us that both our nose and our eyes can be deceiving.
