Chapter 110: Guilt should be punished
Find out what it's like inside the palace! Perhaps, unexpected discoveries are not necessarily made.
Shen Yunxi thought so, lifted her eyes, looked at the guards on duty outside the cell, she lowered her eyes again, and after contemplating for a while, she secretly decided that after running around for a day today, it would be better to rest for a night.
However, turning his head and looking at the somewhat black bedding piled up in the corner, Shen Yunxi frowned, and immediately, took out a pill from the medicine bag in his arms, looked at it, and smiled, fortunately, her medicine bag did not fall.
Otherwise, how would she survive this cold night without it?
After Shen Yunxi swallowed the pill, he lay down with his clothes. When her fingers touched the rough straw, perhaps she should be glad that the straw in this prison was not as sour as the straw in the palace prison. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to sleep that night.
Imperial Palace-Zhong'an Palace Cuihuan ran in from outside the palace with a happy face, Su Lianrong was lying on the soft step, her posture was lazy, and the corners of her mouth and eyes were smiles that could not be hidden. Seeing Cuihuan coming in, she raised her eyes and asked, "The emperor let Shen Yunxi enter the palace, how is the situation?" ”
Cui Huan saluted, and the thief replied: "The slave maid just got the news, she has been ordered by the emperor to humiliate the prison, at this moment, she must be squatting in the corner crying with a sad face and remorse." ”
"Really?" Su Lianrong was even more happy, and suddenly sat up, "Being locked in the heavenly prison is really too much for the heart of this palace." ”
Seeing this, Cuihuan nervously stepped forward to help her and said, "Master, the slave knows that you are happy, but you also have to take care of the prince in your belly, but you can't miss it because of that woman." Although this is worrying, it is more of a boast.
Sure enough, when Su Lianrong heard the 'prince' in her mouth, she was even happier in her heart, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You said that he is the prince, even if he is the prince, how can he be so stingy, rest assured, this palace still wants to rely on him to come out, and with his soaring, he will not let him have anything to do." ”
But, then, she restrained the smile on her face as if she remembered, and said, "Are things all arranged?" There is no room for error in this matter, but it is a big thing to lose your head! ”
"Master, you can rest assured, you should pay attention to what should be done, the slaves and maids have already been done, and now we are waiting for the emperor to send Shen Yunxi to the Zongren Mansion for trial, and then it will be her death." Cuihuan replied with a serious expression, and when she said the worst, there was a touch of complacency in her eyes.
"That's fine. In the next few days, I will find out the situation on the emperor's side, and once there is a situation, come and tell me immediately, and I can't be slacking ......off," Su Lianrong nodded and said.
She must be just in case, she can't make the slightest mistake, otherwise, let alone want to be promoted to the position of concubine, I'm afraid that her fate will be taken. If then, she wouldn't mind pushing Cuihuan out of the coffin as a scapegoat.
"Yes, master, the slave knows the way." Cui Huan responded, not knowing the hidden danger behind the road.
In front of the table in the Ruiwang Mansion-study, Feng Qingchen was still immersed in reading the folds on the table.
There was a knock on the door, and Feng Qingchen replied without raising his head: "Come in." ”
Long Wu pushed the door and entered, stopping in front of the table, but seeing that Feng Qingchen was still buried in the fold, he waited there quietly. Halfway through, Feng Qingchen put down the fold in his hand, raised his head, leaned lazily on the seat, and asked Long Wu, "How are things?" ”
His voice is hoarse, but he still has that domineering and strong force that people can't ignore.
"The queen mother is suspected of being poisoned and unconscious, and the princess was imprisoned by the emperor after entering the palace." Long Wu told Feng Qingchen the news that the spies had returned.
Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered, "Poisoning? The two short words contained a hint of skepticism. But he didn't delve into this issue, but asked Long Wu, "What was her reaction at that time?" ”
Long Wu responded: "The princess was very calm, but when Gonggong Li didn't answer her question, she became angry and almost strangled him to death. I heard that all the guards present at that time pointed their bows and arrows and long swords at her, but the princess still did not have the slightest fear, and said that she should not provoke her, otherwise they would not be able to bear the consequences. ”
The corners of Feng Qingchen's lips stared at a smile and said, "She is not small. ”
However, it seems that the situation is imagined again. She dared to be cruel to him again and again, how could she look at those guards.
This is indeed what she Shen Yunxi will say, and it is her style.
Crazy enough, bold enough!
Then, Feng Qingchen retracted the smile on the corner of his lips, raised his eyes and asked Long Wu, "Do you know that Emperor Dao has transferred this case to the Zongren Mansion?" ”
"Nope." Long Wu shook his head and replied.
"Hmm." Feng Qingchen nodded, raised his hand to him, and said, "It's okay, let's go down first." After speaking, he picked up the fold on the table again.
However, seeing that the person in front of the table did not leave, Feng Qingchen raised his head again and asked lightly, "Is there anything else?" ”
Long Wu pursed his head and thought for a while, and said: "Lord, the Queen Mother has been taken care of by the princess during this time, she should not be poisoned, she must have been framed." ”
"And then?" Feng Qingchen asked without blinking.
Long Wu pondered for a while and said, "Do we send someone to investigate who wants to frame the princess, and who wants to put our palace in danger?" It's just that the latter words are just to persuade Feng Qingchen to send someone to investigate the real murderer's statement.
Feng Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "There's no need, someone will check it out." We don't have to spend all this manpower to do these things. …… Alright, that's all for today, you go down. ”
Long Wu sighed slightly, and after he wanted to speak, he arched his hand and said, "My subordinates have retired." ”
Looking at Long Wu's departing figure, Feng Qingchen's eyes were deep, he could hear his sigh clearly, and he also understood the deep meaning of this sigh.
In fact, in addition to what he said, someone would have investigated this case. He still has a little selfishness in his heart, and asked Shen Yunxi to stay in the prison for a few more days to avenge her two poisonings.
However, he wondered who would risk harming the Queen Mother and put her in such a dangerous situation. Come to think of it, the man must have hated her terribly.
If she has no evidence to prove her innocence, then the crime of murdering the Queen Mother is a capital crime! But if the real murderer is found, this person's crime is not small, and it is more likely that he will be exterminated by the Nine Clans.
Thinking about Shen Yunxi's case of Chaning Mengmeng last time, the person behind this is really stupid. Even if you want to bring her down, this method is wrong.
And yes, a big mistake.
Feng Qingchen wiped away the disdain and disdain in his eyes, and buried his head in the fold again.
The fragrance of flowers outside the window poured into the room with the cold breeze, and his beautiful silhouette was dyed with a layer of ethereal feeling in the flickering candlelight, and there was a sense of separation and independence.
This night, Shen Yunxi couldn't say that he slept peacefully, but it wasn't too bad.
Bored, she leaned against the iron railing, her eyes frequently swept over the guards outside the prison, but she mentally calculated their shifts and shift times, and saw them sit down on the open space in the cell one by one.
After the time was all written down, Shen Yunxi walked to the door of the cell again, gently picked up the iron lock, and tried not to let the iron chain make a sound, so as not to attract the attention of those guards.
Naturally, she wasn't afraid of them, she just didn't bother to think about the purpose of her looking through the keyhole.
However, things are often afraid of something.
Before Shen Yunxi could see the keyhole clearly, the guards patrolling there looked over there and immediately shouted, "What are you doing?!" ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the cell where Shen Yunxi was located.
