Chapter 765: Questioning the Truth
Because of the urgency of the situation, the carriage ran wildly, and it didn't take much time for Xiao Jinxuan to enter the palace.
It's just that when she led Ziying to Yanqing Palace, the fire in the magnificent main hall was extinguished.
But it was still filled with black smoke, the smell of burning was pungent, and the beams collapsed and burned down very badly.
In fact, it is no wonder, because this fire was not lit by chance, but deliberately set by Xiangping.
Therefore, when she was in the temple, she not only lit the flammable silk tent, but also set fire to the candles and lamp oil on the table.
So in a short period of time, the fire burned very quickly.
Coupled with the palace people and servants outside, they were not left behind by Ji Lingfeng, and they were all strangled with the forbidden army.
Therefore, it was not until the smoke of Yanqing Palace was billowing that the eunuchs and maids next to the palace found that something was wrong and rushed to this side, so they began to look for water to extinguish the fire.
So as soon as Xiao Jinxuan arrived here, she saw the dilapidated dormitory and the corpses of the palace people lying on the ground.
She couldn't help but secretly feel lucky in her heart, it was really right not to ask Zhou Xianyu to come, this fire now seems to be not simple.
And this will kneel outside the main hall of Yanqing Palace in ruins, crying painfully, and acting a filial daughter to the fullest Xiangping, and also noticed Xiao Jinxuan's arrival.
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu, the object of the expected planting, did not arrive, but came the person she hated the most in her life.
Under Xiangping's madness, his increasingly irritable personality was difficult to control, and he even stood up and rushed directly towards Xiao Jinxuan.
"Slut, why are you here, don't think I don't know who you are, Xiao Jinxuan, you have changed your appearance and come back, and you have set up a poisonous plan to harm me and lose my child. You give me back my child's life, and Brother Mo, the people I care about the most are all dying because of you, I Xiangping will not let you go, I will kill you now. ”
Xiangping is more than ruthless, but his scheming is insufficient, obviously Xiao Jinxuan doesn't know that her identity has been recognized by Ji Lingfeng.
But now it's good, Xiangping called her name directly, and Xiao Jinxuan was indeed shocked.
But Xiang Ping and Ji Lingfeng were thinking of the advantage of hiding in the shadows, and now they are gone.
And with Ziying on the side, Xiangping rushed to the front with a hideous face, but was immediately stopped.
As for Xiao Jinxuan, after she was stunned, she quickly returned to normal with a chuckle, and with her current face, it didn't matter if Xiangping called her real name.
Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been resourceful, replied calmly and immediately:
"Princess Xiangping, I think you are too sad and mistaken, although the regent and Xiao Jinxuan in your mouth were indeed married, but in the end they did not come together. I am Changde now the princess regent, and the princess is because of the accident in the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Chen, and she is excited to confuse the two of us. And now the Queen Mother is the most important, Princess Xiangping, as a child, how can you leave the queen mother alone, but you come to argue with me and do it. You are the pride of the sky, don't learn shrew behavior. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's attitude is very clear, before she poisons Zhou Xianrui, she will never show her true identity before she has been wronged.
And for this master's past, especially the difficult experience of the other party's amnesia, he knows a real Ziying.
Although she saw Xiangping for the first time, she hated the other party in her heart, Ziying was originally from the rivers and lakes, and she didn't have any fears about the imperial power.
As soon as she saw that Xiangping was about to rush forward, she directly pushed the other side out of the way.
Let the princess fall to the ground, her hands were scratched with blood, but Ziying sneered and continued to dutifully stay by Xiao Jinxuan's side.
Xiangping was pampered, when had she ever been treated like this, but the palms of her hands were mixed with mud and sand, and the wounds that oozed blood from the outside, and the tingling pain also made her regain some calm.
When I thought of it, the main purpose of today was to dissociate Empress Chen's death from her.
Under the fear of Xiangping, he didn't want to make extraneous branches at this time, and continued to argue with Xiao Jinxuan.
Therefore, after being helped up from the ground silently, Xiangping eagerly glanced around, and then frowned and asked:
"Since you say that you are Princess Changde, then I will call you that, and there will be time between us to calculate it slowly. The fire was extinguished, and the forbidden army had already entered to see it, and the queen mother unfortunately did not escape a catastrophe and died in the main hall. Why didn't Brother Qi come to such a big event, could it be that he was weak-hearted. After all, the people of this Yanqing Palace were slaughtered, and there are only a few people who can make a silent move like this. ”
In Xiangping's words, the meaning of Zhou Xianyu was very obvious, but Xiao Jinxuan not panicked.
Instead, he walked towards the main hall of the ruins, and turned his head to Xiangping on the side and said with a smile:
"No matter what you mean, princess, Xianyu only returned to Changping in Beijing from last night to not long ago, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate can naturally testify to this. All the maidservants and maidservants in Yanqing Palace are dead, and the Queen Mother is now also buried in the fire. Otherwise, everyone is suspicious before this, and this also wraps Princess Xiangping herself. ”
Hurt the killer and killed his biological mother, Xiangping don't look at it now, he is calm, but he is very taboo about this in his heart.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan didn't mean anything else, just casually said that she was included in the scope of suspicion.
But Xiang Ping's heart was weak, and he immediately shouted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his emotions were extremely intense:
"Princess Changde, what do you mean by this, the Queen Mother is my mother, do you think that my biological daughter will harm the other party. Say that I don't have real evidence, and you're all spewing blood. All the palace people who were present to extinguish the fire can testify to the princess, and they saw with their own eyes how anxiously I rushed into the fire, and I was helplessly forced out by the thick smoke and flames. After this princess desperately saved her mother, you don't wronged good people here. ”
Xiao Jinxuan is such a delicate person, she said it casually before, but this will calm her overreaction, so much so that she "chuckles" in her heart, thinking that Empress Dowager Chen's death may really be related to the other party.
Without much verbal dispute, Xiao Jinxuan, under the protection of Ziying, struggled to avoid the burned and fallen beams of the house, endured the pungent smoke, and entered the main hall.
Then she saw that several of the forbidden soldiers were covering a curled and crumbled corpse with a bright yellow cloth, and then prepared to carry it out.
can be covered with bright yellow satin, the identity of this charred corpse is self-evident, it is undoubtedly the Empress Dowager Chen.
Seeing that this Chen who has lived in the harem for most of his life, from a low-level palace concubine, to a good concubine step by step, and then became the queen mother.
In an instant, he turned into a charred corpse with an unrecognizable face and a pungent stench all over his body.
For a while, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart, what glory, wealth, power, fame and fortune, people die like lights going out, and they can't take it away after all.
Empress Dowager Chen is now burned to a charred corpse, Xiao Jinxuan, even though she hates the other party in her heart back then, and listens to and believes in the suppression of her, she will not worry too much about a dead person.
With a wave of her hand, Xiao Jinxuan signaled to the forbidden army and carried the other party out of the dormitory.
But in the obvious, it seems that there is really a providence, and Empress Chen has just been moved by the forbidden army for a long time, and there is nothing abnormal.
But as soon as Xiao Jinxuan came in, when everyone moved her up again, the other party's hand was already charred like a chicken claw, but a white jade clasp suddenly fell down.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but glance at Empress Chen's corpse twice, and then after seeing the other party being carried out, she motioned to Ziying to pick up the buttons of her clothes.
She took it in her hand and looked at it a few times, just when she didn't notice anything wrong, and was about to walk out of this dormitory where there was danger at any time, and the beams would continue to collapse.
But he didn't want to be nervous because of his weak heart, lest Xiao Jinxuan notice something abnormal in the hall, so Xiangping, who also followed in, immediately said impatiently:
"Xiao Jinxuan has no one else in the burned dormitory now, if you still have some courage, you can admit your identity. There is also the death of the queen mother, this is my royal matter, no matter what the reason, the seventh brother should come over immediately, otherwise he will be unfilial. ”
Hearing what Xiangping said behind her, Xiao Jinxuan has always been calm and calm, and the other party can't provoke her, let alone ask her to admit her identity in a gaffe.
Therefore, when she turned around, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to ridicule Xiangping for a few words, but when she saw clearly, on the princess phoenix pattern palace skirt worn by the other party, there was a row of white jade buttons on the placket, and it was obvious that the third button was missing.
The smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but freeze, and there was a feeling of surprise and shock in her heart, which suddenly hit her whole body, making Xiao Jinxuan shudder.
Because according to Xiangping, she came to Yanqing Palace after the fire, and wanted to rush in to save people several times, but she was forced back by the fire wave at the gate of the palace.
In this case, the buttons on Xiangping's body should not appear in Empress Chen's charred palm at all.
Therefore, there is only one reason for this situation, that is, before the Yanqing Palace went to the water, when the Empress Dowager Chen was not dead, Xiangping appeared in the main hall.
And it seems that there was a fierce collision with Empress Chen, which caused the buttons of the clothes to be torn off.
But the deeper she thought about it, the colder Xiao Jinxuan's back became.
Because if her assumptions were correct, wouldn't it mean that the death of Empress Dowager Chen, as well as the fire in Yanqing Palace, were all done by Xiangping, and the other party actually killed his biological mother with his own hands.
Slowly raised the button in her hand, Xiao Jinxuan just wanted to figure out if Xiangping, who was standing in front of her, this good sister in the past, really didn't even have the last humanity.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I would like to know why your buttons are in the hands of the Queen Mother. Her hands were curled up tightly because they were burned, so the clasp could only have been held in the palm of her hand before she died, otherwise it would be difficult to tuck it in. Did you meet each other before they died? And the mother's death was caused by you at all. I've always wondered why you have been anxious to come over, but you haven't mentioned Xianchen's own brother, after all, he is the biological son of the Queen Mother. You simply want to count your mother's murder on my husband's head, right, Xiangping, do you dare to be vicious. ”
