Chapter 35: Torture Partners

"The little lord definitely doesn't think so." Ruoshui smiled.

Shen Yu stretched out his hand and flicked Ruoshui's forehead, and said, "The ghost is clever." ”

"Our only choice is to find evidence that he killed the king."

Lin Ju reluctantly accepted the fact that Xue Rui couldn't be cleared, and frowned: "But we can't get out now......"

"Then find a way to get out!" Shen Yu touched his chin and thought wildly.

"Daddy has a good relationship with the emperor, we have to find a way to tell Daddy this clue, and he will definitely investigate thoroughly."

Now that the matter is no longer just about her, what Xue Rui did was an act of heavenly punishment for killing her father and killing the king.

Several people realized the seriousness of the problem, and their faces condensed in unison.

"But we can't beat the ...... guarding outside."

"Be optimistic, I blocked the way of King Ling and Princess Eling in the Lingwang Mansion, and warned them to be careful of the assassins, now that such a big thing has happened, contact my actions, he will definitely be able to detect the abnormality, if he finds that we are no longer in the Lingwang Mansion, he will not be stupid enough to believe that the emperor died of illness." Shen Yu scratched his nose.

"I wish he was smarter."

……

When General Shen Xuan heard the bad news of the emperor's death, he was furious, and his right-hand man Lu Zening led a group of elite soldiers to surround the Lingwang Mansion.

On the surface, it is talking about the dragon body, but in fact, it is secretly operating and not letting go of any suspicious characters.

Xue Ling really didn't disappoint Shen Yu, he told Shen Xuan what Shen Yu had come to warn him before the emperor's accident, and said that he suspected that the matter might be man-made, which caused the general to send people to surround the Ling Wangfu desperately, vowing to find out the murderer.

Shen Xuan's face was gloomy, as if he was worried, "Please be calm and stay here for a while." There may be something strange about this matter, and it is not excluded that people in the house have a heart to do it deliberately, and I will send troops to protect you. ”

Xue Ling nodded in agreement, and also said: "The general is also for the sake of everyone's safety, if there is a misunderstanding, you should lift your guard." There are many empty rooms in this palace, you can eat delicious food at will, taste wine at will, and stay with peace of mind. ”

"I heard that the general has a great friendship with the emperor, and he is so loyal and conscientious, and sure enough, the monarch and the minister have a good talk." Xue Rui took his subordinates and walked slowly from behind the two of them, applauding unhurriedly as he walked.

His yin and yang weird tone made Shen Xuan's already gloomy face completely pull, and just as he was about to speak, Xue Rui stopped him with a wave of his sleeve.

The crowd of people who eat melons were suddenly confused, it stands to reason that Shen Xuan and Xue Rui should be in the same camp, after all, their daughters have been married, why is the current scene more like Shen Xuan and the prince all the way?

"Brother Huang is right, the general is just worried about whether his father was killed, check it out just in case, don't worry!" Xue Ling pinched her sleeves and walked to Xue Rui's side, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Urgent?" Xue Rui tilted his head and calmly met his gaze, "I just praised the general twice, and the third brother has something to say?" This means something else! ”

Xue Ling looked at Xue Ling who was pretending to be innocent in front of him, although there was no empirical evidence, but his intuition was his handiwork.

"It's not a thief shouting to catch a thief." Xue Rui also patted Xue Ling's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the royal brother is really good at laughing." Xue Ling pressed his hand with a polite smile.

Just thinking about how to catch his words, Xue Rui turned his words and aimed the spearhead at Shen Xuan, who had a powerful aura on the side.

"Father-in-law, would you like to discuss countermeasures with Prince Ben?" Xue Rui turned sideways and casually pointed to a side room behind him.

"Hmph." Shen Xuan snorted coldly, "Go." ”

That's right, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, Xue Rui and Shen Xuan were all the way, and it was good to stand in line when they saw the situation!

The crowd opened the way for the two of them, and when they entered the door, their attendants surrounded the room.

The people in the courtyard gathered in groups of threes and twos, all talking in low voices, looking around nervously from time to time.

"Lord Wang."

Lin Li took Xue Wenxin to talk to Xue Ling, and Xue Ling was holding her head and secretly feeling sad.

"I asked clearly, the crown princess and a few attendants around her were taken away by the prince when the emperor died at the most chaotic time."

Xue Ling nodded, just now he looked around and only knew that Shen Yu was missing, so Tuo Lin asked around, and he took the crazy Xue Wenxin to make it easier to talk under the guise of being a good person.

"Looks like she really knows something."

So the courtyard stopped the assassin that the two of them were talking about...... Maybe it was really she who was worried about his safety......

Xue Ling shook his head and put the direction of his thoughts in the right direction, the most important thing at the moment was to find out the murder of his father, and he was ninety percent sure that this matter was related to Xue Rui.

If Xue Rui succeeds in ascending to the throne, he will not have good fruit to eat.

……

The two of them entered the room, Xue Rui didn't speak at first, Shen Xuan was a straightforward person, and he was really impatient to wait, so he got up and asked, "I'll ask three questions, if you can convince me, I will withdraw the troops." ”

Xue Rui smiled politely and made a gesture of please, "Father-in-law, excuse me." ”

"Did you kill Xue Fengying?" Shen Xuan didn't say anything about the emperor, he actually called him by his name, and slapped the table again, the momentum was violent, and the teacup on the table jumped twice before it settled.

"How could I kill my father? The throne was mine, and my father-in-law was really joking. Xue Rui's face did not change.

"Maybe you're afraid of long nights and dreams? Maybe you're ambitious? Shen Xuan stared at him, a cold glint in his eyes.

"General, if you want to talk about evidence, almost everyone can testify for me, and I didn't get close to him half a step when my father vomited blood."

"Everyone knows, it was the group of imperial doctors who took the wrong pulse, and it was an accident."

Xue Rui patiently explained, if he didn't look closely, he would never see the impatience in his smile.

If it weren't for the fact that the forces behind him were too thin, where would it be Shen Xuan's turn to ask him for his rejuvenation?

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and you must hold Shen Xuan steady. Thinking like this, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and still smiled.

"Hmph, I'm afraid you don't need to be close to do it." Shen Xuan snorted, and then said: "The emperor has been poisoned by chronic poison, so he doesn't need to get close, or even do it himself. ”

"Really?" Xue Rui pretended to be surprised and his eyes widened slightly.

However, he was indeed surprised that Shen Xuan had never touched the corpse, but he learned that his father had been poisoned.

Could it be that the doctor said something missing?

No, the imperial doctors who entered the door that day were all controlled by him, and when he cut the emperor's pulse, in addition to the imperial doctor, there was only one Xue Ling and one Zhao Yue present.

In this way, according to the elimination method, it can be seen that it should be Xue Ling who told Shen Xuan about this, but how did he determine that his father was poisonous.

Just because a few doctors are abnormal?

This is unreasonable, taking advantage of the time when Shen Xuan squinted at him inquiringly, Xue Rui crocheted all kinds of possibilities in his mind, and after thinking about it, he made a bold assumption, could it be that Xue Ling himself is familiar with medical skills?

No, to be precise, they know how to use poison.

With such an assumption, it can also explain the source of Lin Li's poisoning of his seven-step throat seal, and Xue Rui suddenly had a feeling of being sudden.

"Who's not yours?"

Xue Rui was thinking about it, Shen Xuan suddenly asked, he came back to his senses, tasted this, his pupils shook slightly, and he forcibly calmed down: "Ao, Prince Hefu, just acquaintance, general acquaintance." ”

"If you get a stolen person, you will be poisoned by him." Shen Xuan's tone was flat.

"You said it was a coincidence, my people were drunk and slept in a room, and that He Gongzi broke in wearing a night suit, and after subduing him, he found the raw materials for the poison mixture."

Xue Rui made a congratulatory gesture and said, "That's really, gratifying." ”

"Your father is dead, why should you be happy?" Shen Xuan slapped the table again, draining most of Xue Rui's patience.

He was stunned for a long time before he continued: "It's the prince who used the wrong words." ”

He is the prince of a country, the prince who is about to ascend the throne, but he was yelled at by a general...... Although he has suffered this kind of sin since he was a child.

But he really can't bear it anymore, he wants power, he wants the right to master, the right to dominate everything.

"Who do you really have no personal relationship with?" Shen Xuan slowed down his tone and asked.

"Father-in-law, this is the third question." Xue Rui replied with a smile.

This smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, Shen Xuan inexplicably felt a cool breeze behind him, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, why did you send my daughter away after the incident?" ”

Xue Rui still kept smiling, "Because, who did Ruoya next to her see?" ”

"What? You! Did you really do it!? Shen Xuan was so excited that he slapped the table continuously, making Xue Rui frown.

Whether he asks who Ke is again, or Shen Yu, he plans to have a showdown, since it is logically impossible to get over it anyway, it is better to blow himself up.

It's a pity, if it weren't for Shen Xuan's sideways intervention, maybe Shen Xuan wouldn't have been so suspicious of him, and he wouldn't have staged the next tragedy earlier.

Xue Rui thought viciously in his heart, this was Shen Yu's own doing.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, I did poison me, but thanks to the general's help."

Shen Xuan was about to draw his sword, but when he saw him arrogant, his eyes turned red with anger, and he scolded: "You brute, what do you mean!?" ”

"If it weren't for the general marrying his daughter to me, how could I have such confidence?" Xue Rui said crookedly, this smile was very hideous in Shen Xuan's eyes.

"You quibble, rebel! I cut you down for your father! As he spoke, Shen Xuan was about to lift the table.

Together, I felt that I suddenly couldn't use my strength, "You...... Poisoned again, despicable! How could I, Shen Xuan, marry my daughter to you! ”

"The general really misunderstood me this time, this is not poison, just in case the general hurts his muscles and bones, the specially prepared ecstasy incense, if you don't do it, you will be safe and sound, and the forced luck will just let you sleep." Xue Rui pointed to the lion-shaped copper furnace that was smoking at the door.

"Xue Rui, you are not worthy!" Shen Xuan propped up the table, pointed at his nose and scolded.

"I am the crown prince set up by my father himself, and the throne should be handed over to me sooner or later, who in the court does not know that you and I are in the same boat? Instead of trembling for all these years, the real power was gradually snatched away by the Zhao family's poisonous woman, why not fall into my hands earlier, or fight against Zhao Yue. Xue Rui was respectful and reasonable.

Shen Xuan closed his eyes painfully, he just knew that he was right, so he felt helpless.

He doesn't care if he is implicated, but it will inevitably be Zhao Yue Xue Rui's party who will benefit in the end.

Whether it is the temple, the rivers and lakes, or the countryside, they are deeply poisoned by the Zhao family, and the people and officials are miserable.

If the already powerful Zhao family is allowed to go to the next level, then Xue Fengying's hard work before his death will be in vain.

Xue Rui is on the throne, and the two are competing, at least not one will be dominant.

"Xue Rui, one day, you will pay the price for your conceit and selfishness." Shen Xuan slumped back into his chair weakly, as if he had become a lifeless old man.

Xue Rui was satisfied, got up and patted the hem of his shirt, and was about to leave with his back hand. "My father-in-law understands my painstaking efforts, and I am very pleased."

"Don't touch my daughter." Shen Xuan was behind him, understatement but categorical.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, if I want to move her, I won't leave such a suspicious handle as the emperor driving the crown princess back to the house." Xue Rui was sincere in this sentence.

He would never be able to kill Shen Yu, no matter how far apart the Gu worms in the two of them were, they would connect the two of them.

One of them is dead, and the other should be half dead.

This Gu worm was originally going to be drunk by Lin Ju and Shen Delirium, but Xue Rui only needed to hold Lin Ju to dominate Shen Delirium.

Lin Ju was injured, and due to the connected effect of the Gu worms in his body, Shen Ju would also suffer almost the same amount of pain, but there would be no scars on his body, which could be described as an excellent torture partner.
