Chapter 239: Escape
Leng Yang originally expected that it should be Tian Rong, but he didn't expect that the person who connected with Xiao Dezi was not Tian Rong, but a very inconspicuous little eunuch in Kunning Palace, Leng Yang had only seen him a few times, and he couldn't even remember his name.
"Who sent you?! Who is behind this? Leng Yang was annoyed, and stepped forward and grabbed the eunuch's collar and asked.
There was no fear on the man's face, but he snorted coldly: "The slave doesn't know what the Second Highness means?" ”
"Don't give me quibbles here! Say! Who instructed you to do this to Mother Bogan? Say! Leng Yang was furious, holding back the anger in his heart and asked.
"Second Highness...... You listen to my explanation......" Xiao Dezi knelt and kowtowed, Leng Yang turned his head and reprimanded: "You have followed me for so many years, and you actually betrayed me!" Take! Take them all with me! ”
"Yes!" As soon as the guards rushed up, Xiao Dezi was caught with tears streaming down his face, but the one in front of Leng Yang was neither humble nor arrogant, as if he had expected Leng Yang to come back and catch him, he was very calmly arrested, and the corners of his mouth were even smiling.
Leng Yang was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”
The little eunuch snorted coldly: "His Royal Highness the second servant Xiao pounced in the air, and he didn't catch the person he wanted to catch...... Haha......" After speaking, Leng Yang was about to get angry, only to see that the man's body twitched, and he began to cough non-stop, and with a burst of coughing, a mouthful of dirty blood spurted out, Leng Yang saw this and exclaimed: "What's the matter?!" ”
The guards on the side hurriedly checked and turned to Leng Yang: "Oh no, Second Highness, this person has taken poison......
Leng Yang was shocked: "Take poison?!" I'm still stunned what to do! Go get water! Fast! Can't let him die! If he dies, the clues will be broken! ”
"Yes!" The guards hurriedly ran to the vicinity to get water, and Leng Yang grabbed the man's neck and roared, "Say! Who told you to do this?! Is it Tian Rong? Or the queen?! ”
The little eunuch smiled: "Second Highness...... Minion...... I won't tell you...... Ha ha...... Cough...... cough ......" coughed a few times while speaking, and before he could lift his breath, the person was no longer breathing.
Leng Yang shook his shoulders angrily and said, "You wake me up!" Wake up! ”
The light in the little eunuch's pupils had already dissipated, no matter how Leng Yang shook. There was no reaction, and Xiao Dezi couldn't cry on the side: "Second Highness......"
Leng Yang stood up angrily and rushed to Xiao Dezi, raised his hand and hit it, the corners of Xiao Dezi's mouth suddenly gushed bloodshot, Leng Yang scolded angrily: "Say! What shady things have you done behind my back?! ”
Xiao Dezi trembled and choked up: "Second Highness...... Minion...... Minion ......"
"Take it back! I can't afford to lose this person here! As soon as Leng Yang shook his hand, the guards on the side set up Xiao Dezi, because he was too nervous, Xiao Dezi's legs were so weak that he couldn't walk, so he had to let the guards drag him back to Jiqing Palace.
Along the way, Leng Yang couldn't figure it out. The person who has been with him for so long, who can almost be said to be a confidant, why should he betray himself...... Now he has only caught him in private contact with the father-in-law of Kunning Palace, and he has no idea how many things he still has to hide from himself.
Return to Jiqing Palace. Leng Yang took Xiao Dezi into the study, and was silent after getting rid of all the attendants.
Seeing this, Xiao Dezi knelt on the ground and bowed. He couldn't stop chattering: "Second Highness." The minion knew that he was wrong...... Ask His Royal Highness the Second Highness to spare his life......"
Leng Yang tried his best to restrain the emotions in his heart and said: "In vain for me to believe in you like this, you actually did such an unseemly deed behind my back? Although I didn't listen to all the conversations between you, I also guessed that you were responsible for the turmoil in King Chenxian's mansion? And the death of Baogen's mother? ”
Xiao Dezi's body trembled, and his lips were silent. Leng Yang was annoyed: "It's all this time, don't you still want to admit it?" How many benefits have they given you? How could you keep them a secret like that? ”
Xiao Dezi had a lot of tears and snot, kept wiping his face with his sleeves, and snorted coldly: "In vain my trust in you for so many years...... You're really chilling me......"
Xiao Dezi had never seen Leng Yang so low. He has served Leng Yang for so many years, and he knows his fiery temper too well, but now, he really disappointed him.
"Second Highness! Minion...... Damn it, the minion ......" Xiao Dezi finally opened his mouth, kept kowtowing, and slammed into the ground with a bang.
"Is it still useful for you to do this now?" Leng Yang snorted coldly.
Xiao Dezi straightened up and choked up: "Second Highness, the slave knows that he is sorry for you...... But minions also have a hard time...... But where there is room for manoeuvre, the minions will not go down this path......"
Leng Yang didn't speak, listened quietly, Xiao Dezi wiped his tears and said: "Now, the slave knows that he will not escape death, and he will not bother His Royal Highness to interrogate him strictly...... That's right, I killed Baogen's mother...... I hired a butcher who killed the pigs, and took the opportunity to deliver meat to the palace to strangle Baogen's mother to death, pretending to be suicidal...... It was also a slave who slipped to the foot of a thousand mountains in disguise and instigated the villagers to come to the palace to make trouble......"
Leng Yang frowned: "Why do you want to do this?" ”
"For the sake of the slave's sister......" Xiao Dezi said and twisted his nose, and Leng Yang said: "Sister? Do you have a sister? ”
"Hmm...... There is also a younger sister in the slave's family, who has always been weak, living with her uncle and aunt, living on the meager moon silver in the palace of the slave, and her body has become weaker and weaker recently, and her aunt even moved the idea of giving up treatment...... Servants can't ......"
"Why didn't you tell me? Isn't it just money?! Leng Yang was in a hurry.
Xiao Dezi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it's just money, the slave won't be like this...... My sister was born with a strange disease, and there was only one hospital in the city that was willing to admit it, and the medicine used was even more expensive, including a medicine, and even had to be obtained from the palace, and the slave wanted to take the opportunity to go to the hospital to steal a little, but when I went, I found out that there was no such medicine in the hospital...... When the slave was discouraged, thinking that the little sister was not saved, Gonggong Li of Kunning Palace took the initiative to find the slave, saying that he had a family heirloom elixir in his hand, which could cure the little sister's illness, and he didn't take the slave's money, as long as he helped him do something......"
"He asked you to kill Baogen's mother? Will you blame the poisoning of King Chenxian on Baogen's mother and son? Leng Yang asked.
Xiao Dezi twitched and shook his head: "That's a story for later......"
"What?!" Leng Yang's body shook and asked, "What else did he let you do?!" ”
"Second Highness...... The slave knows that he is guilty of a deep sin, and he is willing to apologize for his sin with death, but before he dies, he hopes that His Royal Highness can spare the slave's little sister...... Transfer this medicine to her, so that the slave will die without regrets......" Xiao Dezi's eyes were red from crying as he spoke, and Leng Yang was anxious: "What else did he let you do?!" ”
Xiao Dezi trembled and put the silver taels and pills that Li Gong had given him on the ground from his arms, and solemnly kowtowed to Leng Yang to thank him, and Leng Yang picked him up: "Don't make these vain!" Tell me, what else did he make you do?! ”
After Xiao Dezi explained what he thought in his heart, he was no longer afraid, and replied lightly: "The first thing that Li Gong Bus is going to do...... It is to poison King Chenxian......"
Leng Yang's body shook, and he almost couldn't stand steadily: "How could it be you?!" ”
Xiao Dezi sighed: "I'm sorry Second Highness...... The slave really can't help it, I'm just such a sister, my only relative, I can't watch her die......"
"The medicine for my eldest brother has never left me, how did you change the medicine?! Say it! Leng Yang's eyes widened, like an enraged lion.
"Gonggong Li prepared a box in advance that was exactly the same as the medicine filled by Lord He Qishan, which contained a pill mixed with blue poison, and he handed the box to the slave a few days ago, saying that he could take the opportunity to change the medicine...... At that time, the minions didn't know that there was blue poison there, and the minions didn't want to murder the prince's ......"
"And then how did you change the medicine?!"
"That day, it happened to coincide with the canonization ceremony of the prince, Lord He Qishan entered the palace to deliver medicine, and was seen by the Second Highness, and he wanted to bring the medicine into the palace, and the slave took advantage of the opportunity for you to get off the horse, and the small box was dropped ......"
"You! Good little deer! Even I dare to deceive! "Leng Yang was furious.
Xiao Dezi couldn't stop kowtowing and said, "Second Highness!" The minion knew that he was wrong...... Please spare the little sister, the slave is willing to apologize with death! ”
"Ten thousand deaths are not enough for you to apologize!" Leng Yang scolded angrily, the green tendons on his clenched fists burst out, he gasped heavily, it was difficult to calm his emotions, he never expected that it was the nearest person around him who poisoned Leng Chen.
"Second Highness...... The minion knew that he was wrong...... Your Highness's kindness...... The slave will report again in the next life! Xiao Dezi wiped away his tears as he spoke, got up and was about to crash into the pillar on the side, but Leng Yangyan quickly stopped him: "Want to die?!" It's not that easy! ”
"The slave knows that he is guilty of a great sin, and asks His Royal Highness to fulfill ......"
"You're so confused...... Do you know what kind of medicine he gave you? Blind obedience like this? The pill he gave you was also adulterated with blue poison! Leng Yang threw the pill on the ground as he spoke, and Xiao Dezi shook his head again and again when he saw this: "No...... Impossible...... I've done what he said and he won't lie to me...... No......"
"Why are you so confused! What they want is a substitute for the dead! It's not about saving your sister at all! You're so confused! Leng Yangqi's voice was trembling, and Xiao Dezi sat on the ground in a daze, unable to believe what he had heard.
"Gonggong Li is a little eunuch who has just entered the palace, it is impossible to have such courage, there must be a mastermind behind him! Have you ever heard him mention it? Leng Yang asked.
Xiao Dezi shook his head: "I haven't heard of it...... It was always only Gonggong Li who came to connect with the minions...... He can't lie to me, the medicine is effective, and my little sister has improved after taking some of it! ”
"Why are you so confused!" Leng Yang stomped his feet, but Xiao Dezi looked at the pills on the ground in a daze, and suddenly he grabbed a few and stuffed them into his mouth. (To be continued......)
