Chapter 175: The Truth Revealed
Coincidentally, at this time, Gu Liang probed the clues and returned to Xiao Shujun's study to report to Xiao Shujun.
"How's it going?" Xiao Shujun asked eagerly.
"After so many days of investigation, I finally found the palace maid who testified on the day she was hidden. It was hidden in the deep mountains and old forests. ”
"And then?"
Xiao Shujun knew that the palace maid must have been lying at that time, and the palace maid was hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and it must have been to prevent her from being discovered after the East Window incident, so finding the palace maid was equivalent to finding a breakthrough.
Gu Liang then answered Xiao Shujun's question: "No matter how I interrogate who instructed her to frame the princess, she refuses to say, so I will bring her back." ”
After Gu Liang finished speaking, he brought the palace maid up.
Xiao Shujun recognized at a glance that this was indeed the palace maid who framed Qin Kexin that day.
"This king will give you one last chance to tell the truth." Xiao Shujun said coldly.
The oppressive force transmitted by Xiao Shujun was about to swallow the palace maid, but she still didn't let go, and said tremblingly: "That day...... What the slave said that day was the truth. ”
Xiao Shujun saw that this palace maid didn't let go, and said to Gu Liang ruthlessly: "Pull it down and torture it, I don't believe her and don't say it." ”
For those who hurt Qin Kexin, Xiao Shujun has never been soft-hearted.
"Yes." Gu Liang received the order and immediately sent someone to take the palace maid down.
Gu Liang's method of torture is a must, it will not cause death, but it will make that person's life worse than death.
Few people could escape under Gu Liang's severe punishment.
So Xiao Shujun waited in the study to wait for Gu Liang to return to the results, looking confident.
Unconsciously, it was dark, and Gu Liang finally returned to the study.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the palace maid has been recruited."
"What did you say?"
Xiao Shujun knew that the palace maid would recruit, so the content of her recruitment was the most important.
"The palace maid said that she didn't know who was behind the scenes, but she admitted that it was not the princess who instructed her to drug and Yin Xiao Ruoqing to go to the side hall, but was instructed by a palace grandmother."
"That mama must know who is behind the scenes, you should go and investigate."
Xiao Shujun wants to catch them all.
"Yes." After Gu Liang received the order, he disappeared into the night.
Xiao Shujun almost didn't sleep all night, waiting for Gu Liang to bring back the results.
When the sky was slightly bright, Gu Liang finally returned.
But he didn't bring back any news of the grandmother.
"No matter how much I investigate, I can't find the whereabouts of that grandmother, and it may have been deliberately hidden. I can only look for it as carefully as the palace maid. ”
"This king knows, you go and look for it first, and you don't have to worry about other things."
Xiao Shujun knew that there was no time to find that grandma and then prove it to Qin Kexin.
Because once the emperor decrees that he will marry Xiao Ruoxue, it will be too late.
So now the top priority is to take that palace maid to the queen to clear Qin Kexin's grievances.
Although this can't find out the mastermind behind the scenes at the same time, there is no way to do it.
The coming day is long, and the most important thing is to correct Qin Kexin's name first.
So, Xiao Shujun took the palace maid to the palace and asked to see the queen.
When she arrived at Fengyi Palace, the queen knew that something was wrong when she saw the palace maid, but she still stabilized her demeanor.
"Queen Mother, the minister came today to clear Qin Kexin's grievances." Xiao Shujun went straight to the point.
"Qin Kexin is indecent, and there is evidence and material evidence for seducing the prince, not to mention that King Qin, you are also divorced from Qin Kexin. How can we clear our grievances? The queen didn't want to give Xiao Shujun a chance to argue.
"The letter of resignation signed by the minister Qin Kexin is fake, so Qin Kexin is still the princess of Qin."
Xiao Shujun confessed everything.
"Fake? All right! How dare you expire as the emperor? ”
Only took the queen mother who was played by herself into annoyance and anger, and took out the emperor to suppress Xiao Shujun.
"I also ask the queen to forgive her sins, and the minister also knew that Qin Kexin must have been wronged, so he deleted his claim to do so." Xiao Shujun explained unhurriedly, and did not take the embarrassed queen mother in his eyes at this time.
Xiao Shujun knew that with this matter alone, the queen mother couldn't do anything to him.
The queen mother finally calmed down the anger in her heart a little, and said, "Then King Qin is talking about how Qin Kexin was wronged." ”
The matter has come to this, and the queen mother can't continue to play scoundrels.
Hearing this, Xiao Shujun pointed to the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and said: "This is the palace maid who testified that day that Qin Kexin asked her to drug Xiao Ruoqing, she has already told everything, it was Qin Kexin who she framed herself." ”
The queen mother secretly scolded Xiao Ruoxue for not doing things well.
"Really? Tell me about it. The queen mother knew that no matter what the palace maid said, she couldn't say anything about herself, because Xiao Ruoxue had full authority to do it.
"Queen Qiyu, the slave maid was instructed by a grandmother in the palace to drug Xiao Shizi and then lead him to the side hall, and finally framed Princess Qin, and the rest of the slaves and maids don't know anything."
The palace maid didn't know that the queen mother was also involved in this matter, thinking that if she told everything she knew, she would be fine.
After listening to this, the queen mother was thoughtful.
"Since the only witness who pointed to Qin Kexin before said so, there is no evidence to prove that Qin Kexin gave Xiao Ruoqing the medicine." Xiao Shujun said next.
Now it doesn't matter who is the mastermind behind the scenes, the important thing is to return Qin Kexin's innocence.
Even if the queen mother is reluctant, the matter is already settled, and it is impossible to continue to say that Qin Kexin is not
"In this way, this matter is careless in this palace, and I was deceived by a traitor and misunderstood Princess Qin." The queen pretended to be remorseful.
"The queen doesn't have to blame herself, as long as the minister takes Princess Qin back to the Qin Palace, she can stop the loss in time."
This is Xiao Shujun's purpose.
The queen mother was stunned for a moment, her plan for so long had failed again, and she still failed to get rid of Qin Kexin from Xiao Shujun's side.
"It's so good, King Qin hurry up and bring Princess Qin back......"
The matter has come to this, and the queen mother is powerless to stop it.
"Since this is the case, the minister will retreat first, and the palace maid will take it away first, and then inquire about some things."
The mastermind behind this incident, Xiao Shujun still wants to find out, and next time, he will take advantage of his unpreparedness and embarrass Qin Kexin again.
Xiao Shujun left Fengyi Palace, and the queen mother ordered Ying'er to urgently summon Xiao Ruoxue.
so as not to reprimand her for not being careful enough, and at the same time told her to quickly get rid of the grandmother who knew the truth, so as to prevent future troubles.
Xiao Ruoxue knew that she couldn't sit in the position of Princess Qin again, so she was annoyed and angry. I couldn't find anything Xiao Ruoxue, who was angry, vented her anger on that grandmother.
Originally, Xiao Ruoxue still had a little pity and wanted to save the life of the palace maid and the grandmother, but this time the palace maid had been exposed, so as not to expose the person who knew that the person behind the scenes was her grandmother, so Xiao Ruoxue immediately sent someone to kill the grandmother who was hidden by herself.
The first thing Xiao Shujun did after helping Qin Kexin prove his innocence was, of course, to take Qin Kexin back.
has accepted the fact that Xiao Shujun will marry Xiao Ruoxue, Qin Kexin can't lift her spirits in Yinsi Hall all day, but she won't show that she can't forget Xiao Shujun when she meets anyone.
On this day, Qin Kexin was studying a new style in the embroidery workshop of the Silver Silk Hall, but suddenly the embroidery girls were whispering, Qin Kexin felt that something was wrong, so she turned her head sharply and found Xiao Shujun standing behind her.
The moment Qin Kexin saw Xiao Shujun, she subconsciously quickly turned around and dodged.
She didn't know what kind of attitude she had to face Xiao Shujun.
"I'm sorry."
Xiao Shujun suddenly spoke, and hugged Qin Kexin from behind.
Qin Kexin's body suddenly stiffened and didn't dare to move, and he didn't know what Xiao Shujun's sorry meant.
The embroiderers in the embroidery workshop all retreated with interest, leaving only Xiao Shujun and Qin Kexin.
"You let go!" Qin Kexin felt a heat from the inside out, and broke free from Xiao Shujun with all his might.
These reactions looked at Xiao Shujun's eyes, and Qin Kexin was still angry with herself.
"I'm sorry that this king didn't consider your feelings before, but this king is all for your good." Xiao Shujun said sorry for the second time.
In such a short period of time, Qin Kexin couldn't accept Xiao Shujun's two words of sorry, and felt a little overwhelmed.
You must know that it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and others want to hear him say sorry, it is a rare occurrence in a hundred years.
"For my good? Don't you really think I'm a slut who seduces people? ”
Qin Kexin's words are explicit, which is enough to see Qin Kexin's extreme forbearance these days.
"You are, at that time, this king did not say anything to help you in order to protect you. At that time, the king had no evidence, and if he tried to favor you, the queen would definitely make it even more difficult for you, so the king was indifferent. Now that the king has found evidence to clear your grievances, he has come to you. ”
Xiao Shujun may have said the most in recent times......
For Qin Kexin, Xiao Shujun always has endless words.
"So Your Highness never doubted me from beginning to end?" This is what Qin Kexin cares about the most, and it is more important than his innocence.
Xiao Shujun nodded firmly when he heard this: "I didn't doubt it even for a moment." ”
Qin Kexin couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she heard this.
However, Qin Kexin suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned cold again.
Xiao Shujun also noticed something unusual.
"No matter what, I'm not the princess of Qin now, His Royal Highness the King of Qin should go back and prepare to marry Xiao Ruoxue."
Hearing this, Xiao Shujun couldn't help laughing.
"What are your highnesses laughing at!"
Xiao Shujun's smile made Qin Kexin feel that she had said something stupid, and she felt uncomfortable.
"This king has helped you prove your innocence, of course, it will make you back to the position of Princess Qin. Wrong...... The position of Princess Qin has always been yours, what is the matter with that Xiao Ruoxue. ”
"It's always been mine?" Qin Kexin didn't know why.
"Yes, the letter of resignation that the king of Japan asked you to sign is fake, so you have always been the princess of this king." Xiao Shujun explained.
