Chapter 766: Another Bad News

The buttons on his body are very familiar to Xiangping.

As soon as he saw Xiao Jinxuan's white jade coat buttons held high, there was also the angry question on the other party's face.

Xiangping took a few steps back in a panic, and his hands subconsciously blocked the placket in front of him, and then shook his head weakly and said:

"Xiao Jinxuan, don't spew blood, this button is not mine, the queen mother was burned to death by fire, and it has nothing to do with me. I haven't seen the queen mother today, I can't understand a word of what you say, give me the button in your hand, otherwise this princess will be unkind to you. ”

and Xiangping, Xiao Jinxuan and her have known each other for several years, no matter what the relationship is now, but after all, they are extremely familiar with each other.

If she had just seen this button, Xiao Jinxuan was only shocked and stunned, and asked questions.

And this will be even if Xiangping refuses to admit it, but the other party's face is full of horror, and his heart is weak and unconvincing.

Xiao Jinxuan knew that the terrible results she imagined in her heart seemed to be true.

looked at Xiangping in disbelief. Now in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, the other party is even more hideous and inhumane than the Yaksha ghost.

"If Xiangping's buttons are not yours, why are you in a hurry to go back. Whether Empress Dowager Chen's death has anything to do with you, and whether the other party died in the fire, as long as you do an autopsy, you are not afraid of not getting an answer. Even if you don't admit it, don't forget that there are gods on your head. As the so-called people are doing, the sky is watching, you have killed the lives of your two dearest relatives one after another, Xiangping, are you not afraid of retribution? ”

As soon as she heard this, even though Xiangping became more and more ruthless, she still had a sense of awe and fear for things that were unpredictable and clear.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan's every sentence was like piercing her heart, in extreme uneasiness and panic.

Especially thinking of the struggle of Empress Dowager Chen before her death, and the shocked and painful expression of Zhou Xianrui when he was poured poison many years ago, the last line of defense in Xiangping's heart also completely collapsed.

"No, I don't want to, Xiao Jinxuan, don't say it, this princess doesn't want to hear it. It's all because you didn't take out the Yama Tears back then to save Brother Mo. Otherwise, how could there be these later changes, you and I Xiangping are so good at killing by nature, I am just avenging Brother Mo, and this princess is not wrong at all. As for the queen mother, she also forced me, and everything I did was forced by you, and all of you are the real murderers. God looks at it, today I will tell you that the royal brother and the queen mother are ......"

Emotional, and the moment when his reason was completely eroded by the fear in his heart, Xiangping just wanted to scream and vomit everything as fast as possible.

But just when she was impulsive, she was about to admit to killing her mother and brother.

But he didn't want Ji Lingfeng not only to appear suddenly, but also to cover Xiangping's mouth tightly, not letting the other party say the last few words of the crucial matter.

whispered a few words in Xiangping's ear, seeing that the other party's emotions had stabilized, and he would not lose his mind by talking nonsense.

Only then did Ji Lingfeng let go of the hand covering the other party, and then looked at Xiao Jinxuan with cold eyes.

"Princess Changde, what do you mean, Princess Xiangping has not lost her mother, so you use words to stimulate her to lose her temper. Even if you are helping your husband, the regent, you shouldn't make things difficult for Princess Xiangping at this time, this behavior is really shameful. ”

Under the dispute between Xiangping and Empress Dowager Chen, the biological mother was drowned in the soup, and Ji Lingfeng tried his best to help hide the matter in order not to affect his own power.

And he also wanted to take the opportunity to blame Empress Chen's death on Zhou Xianyu's body, so in order to create a greater public opinion of the government and the opposition, Ji Lingfeng wiped out a group of palace people.

immediately contacted the ministers and reported the matter of the Yanqing Palace to the prefectures.

And because Empress Dowager Chen listened to the government, her death will have a turbulent impact on the court situation.

Therefore, almost all of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the royal relatives and relatives, entered the palace.

Originally, Ji Lingfeng was extremely satisfied with being able to summon so many officials and the royal family, because it would be convenient for him to frame Zhou Xianyu for a while, and these people would all be witnesses.

But wait until he really led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to the ruins of the main hall of Yanqing Palace.

Ji Lingfeng didn't see any trace of Zhou Xianyu at all, but heard that Xiang Ping was excited, and he wanted to tell the truth in front of everyone without confessing.

It was also thanks to Ji Lingfeng who arrived in time and spoke out to relieve the siege of Xiangping Yuanchang.

Otherwise, Zhou Xianyu has not been wronged, and Xiangping, the culprit, will really be sent to prison.

As soon as she saw Ji Lingfeng coming, she was already sure in her heart that Empress Dowager Chen's death was Xiao Jinxuan who was committed by Xiangping, but she didn't ask a word, even handed the buttons to Ziying, and told the other party to keep them carefully.

It's not that Xiao Jinxuan is jealous of Ji Lingfeng, it's just that she knows very well that when she competes with this scheming rival, there is no substantive evidence, and it is difficult for her to bring down Xiangping and point out that the other party is the real murderer.

After all, a coat button can't explain anything, and before this, she and Xiangping were in the main hall of the ruins, and only stayed for a while accompanied by Ziying.

Even if she took out the buttons of her clothes, according to Ji Lingfeng's clever tongue, it could be said that Ziying took it from Xiangping's placket.

And the few people who carried the body of Empress Dowager Chen just now were all forbidden soldiers in the backyard of the palace, and these people were already serving Ji Lingfeng.

So even if they saw that the buttons of their clothes fell from the hands of Empress Dowager Chen, if they really asked, I am afraid that no one would tell the truth.

Therefore, knowing that the result of continuing to ask questions is likely to be beaten upside down, but it makes me unreasonable, so how could Xiao Jinxuan do such an impulsive thing.

Therefore, it is the best strategy to put away the buttons of the clothes, secretly collect more favorable evidence, and wait until everything is safe and quickly attacking.

And just when Xiao Jinxuan and Ji Lingfeng were speechless at each other, they were all planning carefully, lest they be calculated by the other party.

Neither of them thought that Zhou Xianyu, a key figure, also rushed to Yanqing Palace at this time.

As soon as she saw that the other party was coming, the deadlock was immediately broken, Xiao Jinxuan was heartbroken, and immediately walked over to Zhou Xianyu, surprised why the other party didn't listen to the dissuasion, but still insisted on coming over.

But Ji Lingfeng was secretly overjoyed, helping Xiangping out of the ruins, and quickly thought in his mind, how to push the fire of Yanqing Palace onto Zhou Xianyu's body, creating the illusion that the other party was the real culprit behind the scenes.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, she would also see through Ji Lingfeng and Xiangping, what the hell they were doing, so as soon as she came to Zhou Xianyu's side, she hurriedly said in surprise:

"Empress Dowager Chen's immortal death, I know that you will feel a little uncomfortable in your heart, but now that this is a place of right and wrong, Ji Lingfeng may want to point the finger at you. Therefore, Xianyu you should immediately approach Xianchen to the palace, and you must not ask the other party to check and balance you in front of the ministers, and then we will be quite passive. ”

Xiao Jinxuan's words Zhou Xianyu heard clearly and understood, but he didn't move at all, but said with a hint of solemnity on his face:

"Jinxuan, Xianchen may not be able to enter the palace, the younger brother of the emperor went to the court in plain clothes, but he met an assassin and was stabbed several times, and the knife was poisonous. Although there is still a breath left, and Uncle Ding is also trying his best to rescue in the mansion, it is unknown whether he can survive it. ”

Xiao Jinxuan, who was anxiously even pushing Zhou Xianyu to leave, was stiff when she heard this, because the news was too sudden, she couldn't believe it was true.

"How can it be, Xianchen said that he was going to the execution ground today, but he has been persuaded by me to go back to review the recital. The other party didn't stay in the palace all the time, why did he run to the execution ground. And since it is plainclothes, even if someone wants to rob the law field to save Chen Shuhang, why would Xianchen be injured so badly. Now that the Empress Dowager Chen is dead, if Xianchen has an accident, the situation in this Great Zhou Dynasty may be really chaotic and difficult to control. ”

Because these words are important, Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan spoke in very small voices, and others did not dare to come forward for fear of his identity as regent, so there were countless officials present, but no one knew the news for the time being.

But others don't know, Ji Lingfeng, who secretly ordered this assassination, knows it.

Although Zhou Xianchen did not die on the street in the court, he felt quite regretful.

But the other party's injuries are extremely serious, and the Empress Dowager Chen will not be able to come if she dies, so Ji Lingfeng also speculated that His Majesty Emperor Wen is probably more than lucky.

Now Ji Lingfeng is attacking Zhou Xianchen, just to get rid of this eye-catching emperor, and then promote Zhou Yi to the throne as the emperor, and control this child to achieve his goal of tilting power to the government and the opposition.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu wanted to suppress this matter, but Ji Lingfeng couldn't wait to take advantage of the fact that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were present, and quickly shook out the matter of Zhou Xianchen's death.

But although he was in a very anxious mood, he didn't want to have anything to do with the assassination, and if he directly said that Zhou Xianchen was assassinated, he would inevitably point the finger at himself.

So after thinking about it, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but come to Zhou Xianyu in a few steps, and then said meaningfully:

"The regent is really a filial son, and when he heard that the Empress Dowager Chen had an accident, he immediately rushed over. It's just that why did I only see the prince, but I didn't see your majesty. The Queen Mother is the biological mother of His Majesty, how can she not be present as a son of man, this is against filial piety. Your Majesty is the king of a country, and you should set a good example for all the people. ”

can't directly break the assassination of Zhou Xianchen, Ji Lingfeng forced the other party to show up, and then the regent palace couldn't hand over people, so the matter naturally couldn't be hidden.

Although Xiao Jinxuan has always been scheming, but Empress Dowager Chen died, Zhou Xianchen should indeed be present.

Even though she came up with countless reasons in her heart, there was no reasonable excuse to prevaricate the matter.

and Zhou Xianyu glanced at each other, and they both saw worry and solemnity in each other's eyes.

Even though Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu knew very well that Empress Dowager Chen had just burned the palace, if the news that Zhou Xianchen's life was hanging by a thread was made public, the government and the opposition would inevitably be in chaos.

But no matter how worried he was, after Zhou Xianyu shook Xiao Jinxuan's hand comfortingly, he still stood under the pressure of a thousand catties on his shoulders, looked at the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and said:

"The emperor's brother is not present now, not because he does not pay attention to filial piety, but half an hour ago, Xianchen was assassinated by someone of unknown origin. He would be seriously injured and is receiving full medical attention. Therefore, the matter of Yanqing Palace, as well as the overall situation of the court, from now on, this king will supervise the government until Xianchen wakes up. ”
