Chapter 262: Unspeakable Hidden
"What is wrong with me punishing a man? Who would dare to complain? Xiao Ruoxue actually calculated on her head, Xiao Shujun couldn't bear it.
"Having said that, the concubine still wants to find evidence first." Qin Kexin is a person who has to speak with evidence in everything.
Xiao Shujun knew this, and after thinking about it, Xiao Shujun could only do what Qin Kexin wanted, "Then this matter will be handled by the queen." ”
"Okay." Qin Kexin smiled, thinking that he must pull out Xiao Ruoxue's fox tail this time.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, and it's time to go back to the palace. There are still a lot of affairs in the palace waiting for Xiao Shujun to go back to deal with, and he can't stay outside for more. So everyone in the palace returned to the palace in a big way.
King Qi's family, who were thieves, naturally didn't dare to cover up with Xiao Shujun, so King Qi himself went back to King Qi's mansion with Xiao Shujun alone.
After returning to the palace, Qin Kexin has been trying to find evidence of Xiao Ruoxue's drugging, but no matter how she investigated, no evidence was found, and in desperation, Qin Kexin had to put the matter on hold first. Anyway, nothing substantive happened that time, so even if it was cheaper Xiao Ruoxue.
"Come, see what I've got in store for you?" Xiao Shujun didn't forget to prepare some small surprises for Qin Kexin in his busy schedule.
Qin Kexin looked at the delicate headdress on Xiao Shujun's hand, liked it very much, and asked, "Your Majesty has collected such a beautiful ornament there?" And how can you give it to your concubine on this day? ”
When Xiao Shujun heard this, he first handed the ornament to Yu'er, then grabbed Qin Kexin's waist, bowed his head and said, "When did I see something beautiful and not bring it to the queen?" This time, I thought that in a few days it would be the day you married into the Qin Palace, so I ......"
Xiao Shujun originally thought that he would be happy when he said this, but halfway through, Xiao Shujun actually found a sad look on Qin Kexin's face, so he stopped in the middle of the conversation and asked, "What's wrong with the queen?" ”
Qin Kexin came back to his senses when he heard this, and sighed slightly: "Actually, the concubine has always disliked the day she married into the Qin Palace. ”
"Why? Do you regret marrying me? Xiao Shujun was puzzled.
"No, of course not!" Qin Kexin saw that Xiao Shujun had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "How can a concubine regret marrying Your Majesty?" It's because after that day, the concubine hasn't seen Mama Qiao again, so ......"
Xiao Shujun understood what Qin Kexin meant, it turned out that Qin Kexin had always had such careful thoughts. Xiao Shujun couldn't help but blame himself for not being delicate enough.
After a long time, Xiao Shujun said: "On the death day of Mama Qiao, I will accompany you to pay respects." Xiao Shujun knew that this might be able to appease Qin Kexin's heart.
"But Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and the concubine doesn't want to drag Your Majesty down, so the concubine should go by herself." Qin Kexin didn't want Xiao Shujun to be too distracted because of herself.
But Xiao Shujun insisted on being with Qin Kexin, "It's okay, I want to go with the queen." ”
Qin Kexin knew that since Xiao Shujun had decided like this, it would be difficult for him to change his mind.
And take Xiao Shujun to worship his mother, his mother-in-law will definitely be very happy, so Qin Kexin agreed with Xiao Shujun that the two of them will go together.
On the day of Qiao's death, Xiao Shujun and Qin Kexin left the palace together.
Every time she went to worship Mama Qiao, Qin Kexin's heart was full of mixed feelings. With Xiao Shujun by her side this time, Qin Kexin was much more relieved.
When they arrived at the grave of Mama Qiao, Xiao Shujun and Qin Kexin worshiped together.
"Mother, look, Your Majesty is so spoiled by his daughter today, shouldn't you be at ease?" Qin Kexin still remembers that when Mama Qiao knew that she had a relationship with King Qin, she was worried that she would get into trouble or be hurt by love. said that people like King Qin could not be provoked by small families like them. Now that she has become the queen, although she does have a lot of troubles, she is fortunate that Xiao Shujun has always been by her side. Qin Kexin wanted to tell Mama Qiao to make Mama Qiao feel at ease.
Qin Kexin said a lot of things to Mama Qiao, and then she was helped up by Xiao Shujun, "It's not early, although I can go back." Xiao Shujun was afraid that Qin Kexin would catch a cold if he stayed any longer.
Qin Kexin also realized that it was already evening and it was time to go back, so he nodded in agreement.
But when everyone walked back, Qin Kexin saw someone in the distance, "Who is there?" "There shouldn't be anyone in this wilderness, so Qin Kexin is extremely sensitive.
Everyone looked over with Qin Kexin's realization, and sure enough, they saw two people, who were already an elderly couple of men and women.
One of them, Qin Kexin, had seen it, it was the woman Qin Kexin saw last time when he worshiped Mama Qiaorong, "It's her!" ”
When the man saw that everyone had found them, he subconsciously fled into the wilderness.
Xiao Shujun looked at Qin Kexin's reaction, and then thought of what Qin Kexin had told him before, and immediately judged that it was the old woman Qin Kexin said before who was found in front of Mama Qiao's grave. So he hurriedly ordered the guards around him to follow them: "See where they stop, and then come back to report." ”
"Yes." The guard received the order and followed.
Qin Kexin was nervous.
"Let's go to the carriage and wait." Xiao Shujun knew that Qin Kexin wanted to know the answer as soon as possible, so he didn't prepare to go back to the palace, but waited for the guards to return.
"Okay." Qin Kexin knew Xiao Shujun's intentions.
After waiting for a few incense sticks, the guard finally returned.
"How's it going?" Qin Kexin couldn't wait to ask.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother. The two men stopped at a nearby village, where they appeared to have lived all year round. The guards reported.
"Lead the way, to the village!" Xiao Shujun ordered without hesitation.
Qin Kexin looked at Xiao Shujun gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping your concubine." ”
"Silly girl, what are you talking about!" Xiao Shujun stroked Qin Kexin's head dotingly.
The group walked towards the home of the two old men.
After a long time, the guard reported: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, is in front." ”
Hearing this, Qin Kexin stepped out of the carriage and saw a dilapidated thatched house.
"Your Majesty, in order not to scare them, let the concubines ask themselves." Qin Kexin saw that the two old men didn't look like bad people, and subconsciously didn't want to embarrass them.
"Okay, then let Yu'er accompany you alone, if there is anything, I will save you as soon as possible." Xiao Shujun knew that Qin Kexin was kind, unlike the two old men who were frightened.
Qin Kexin nodded, then took Yu'er and walked towards the thatched house.
As soon as he entered the room, it was even more simple than Qin Kexin imagined, and what caught his eye were the two old men who were making a fire together.
The two old men saw Qin Kexin, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, walk in, and suddenly their faces darkened, as if they were a little afraid of Qin Kexin.
Qin Kexin also delicately sensed the fear of the two, so she whispered as softly as she could: "I want to ask, why do you repeatedly appear in front of my mother's grave to worship?" Do you know her? ”
As soon as Qin Kexin's words fell, the woman trembled and said, "Your mother? We are illiterate, we admit mistakes, we admit mistakes! ”
But Qin Kexin obviously didn't believe this set of rhetoric: "Can you admit your mistake twice? And Qin Kexin knew that his mother's tomb was something that ordinary people couldn't afford to build, even if they confessed their mistakes, they couldn't pick one like that.
"We're old fools." But the two old men did not let go, insisting that they had admitted their mistakes.
"You and I ask you, why did you run away when you saw me?" This is the most abnormal place for Qin Kexin.
The two old men were obviously stopped by the question, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Qin Ke was glad to see the opportunity to ask what to say, and said: "If you have anything, just say it, I promise that I will not embarrass you, and I will also give you a lot of gold and silver treasures." Qin Ke was pleased to see that it was so humble here, and thought to himself that they must need money.
But Qin Kexin didn't expect that the two of them were not moved at all: "We ran away when we saw you because we recognized our lives!" There's really nothing else, girl, let us go. ”
The more they tortured, the more suspicious Qin Kexin felt, the two of them were not moved by money at all, and secondly, they didn't plan to do anything to them at all, so they said that they would let them go so seriously.
Therefore, Qin Kexin was even more sure that they had something unspeakable.
Xiao Shujun saw that Qin Kexin hadn't come out for a long time after going in, and he was a little worried, so he sent the guards in to take a look.
Qin Kexin saw the guards come in, and had a plan, "Since you don't want to say it, go back with me." Qin Kexin thought that this matter couldn't just be left at that, first bring the two old men back to the palace to eat and drink and wait, and then carefully interrogate or investigate in the future, and will definitely find any clues.
"Where are you taking us?" The woman was extremely vigilant, after all, they had lived here for generations, and they had never left, and suddenly someone said that they would take them away, and they must have been very resistant.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I just want you to tell the truth, if you tell the truth now, maybe I won't take you away." Qin Kexin made a final attempt.
But the two old men were even more silent.
Qin Kexin saw that they definitely didn't want to say anything, so he waved his hand and motioned for the guards to take people away, "Be light." Qin Kexin was afraid that the guards would hurt the two old men, so he specially instructed.
Fortunately, the two old men were quite cooperative and did not struggle too much.
When Xiao Shujun saw Qin Kexin coming out, followed by the two old men just now, he understood that Qin Kexin wanted to take them back first, so he asked someone to arrange a carriage for the two old men alone.
The two old men didn't look surprised when they saw that there was such a big battle, which made Qin Kexin even more suspicious that something was wrong.
"They won't say anything?" Qin Kexin and Xiao Shujun sat in the same carriage and walked towards the palace, Xiao Shujun asked.
Hearing this, Qin Kexin nodded helplessly.
Seeing this, Xiao Shujun reached out and touched Qin Kexin's head to show comfort, "Don't think about it, I will help you find out the truth." ”
