Chapter 85: Liu Ruxue is beheaded
Chen Jingfeng immediately stopped laughing, hurriedly glanced at Shen Qian, saw that his face was a little depressed, and he felt a little unbearable, and said to Meng Xiaoran: "It's nothing, I told Brother Shen a few childhood anecdotes."
Meng Xiaoran smiled and didn't ask any more, at this time Chen Jingfeng also felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly remembered something, so he stood up, "I made a few bottles of Yurong ointment, and brought them to you." After saying that, he quickly disappeared.
Meng Xiaoran looked at the direction in which he disappeared and shook his head, "Big brother's temperament is really straightforward and enviable. ”
Shen Qian looked at the smile on her face, a smile he hadn't seen before, a smile from the heart, and he couldn't help asking, "It seems that you are very used to this brother you recognize, do you really recognize this brother?"
Meng Xiaoran looked at him, then lowered his head and smiled, "Big brother treats me so sincerely, I naturally recognize this brother, in this way, I can be regarded as a person with relatives." ”
Shen Qian didn't speak, he looked at her quietly, looking at her who exuded warmth all over her body, different from her righteousness and intelligence when she first saw her, and different from the calm and indifferent when she got along later, in the end, which one is the real her?
At this time, Chen Jingfeng also came back, holding a box in his hand, and handed it to Meng Xiaoran, "Sister, there are six bottles of Yurong Paste in here, you can take them back and use them first, and I will give them to you when I run out." ”
Meng Xiaoran took it and opened it, and smiled a little helplessly, "Big brother, I don't have any injuries on my face now, and this jade balm is useless to me, you can keep it yourself, this is a good thing that is hard to find, and it is better to keep it and sell it to others." ”
"Hahaha, my sister is worried that my eldest brother has no money to earn? Don't worry, last time Shen Qian took a big box from me, I slaughtered him hard, and now the silver here is enough for our brothers and sisters to live the rest of our lives! Chen Jingfeng said and laughed again.
Meng Xiaoran was moved when he heard this, the last time he was imprisoned in the dungeon by Liu Ruxue, his whole body was scarred, Shen Qian gave him a large box of jade face cream, it seems that the eldest brother said that time.
She couldn't help but quietly glanced up at Shen Qian, and when she saw that he was looking at herself, she immediately withdrew her gaze, Chen Jingfeng saw the movements of the two in her eyes, couldn't help but smile, and then said: "Sister, this jade cream is not only a medicine for scars, the eldest brother has added a lot of precious medicinal materials, and it is also a holy product for beauty and beauty, apply it to the face every day, the skin will be more smooth and white, women love beauty, although the younger sister is the country and the city, but the icing on the cake is not better."
Meng Xiaoran was amused by Chen Jingfeng's words, "Big brother has won the award, since this is the case, I will accept it, thank you big brother." ”
"Alas, if a family doesn't talk to two families, their brothers and sisters don't have to say thank you." Chen Jingfeng pretended to be angry and said, Meng Xiaoran nodded immediately when he heard this, "Xiaoran knows." ”
Shen Qian saw the intimate interaction between the two, his heart was slightly sour, and he coughed lightly and said: "I received news a few days ago that Liu Yingyuan has mentioned Yuqing Mountain many times, and I suspect that there may be clues in Yuqing Mountain."
"Yuqing Mountain? Where is that? Meng Xiaoran has been coming to Yujing City for more than a year, although she is not particularly familiar with it, but she has paid attention to the surrounding peaks before, because she still wants to go back, but she has never heard of Yuqing Mountain.
The two didn't notice it, Chen Jingfeng frowned, "Yuqing Mountain, Yuqing Mountain......"
"There it is! I remember! ”
Shen Qian and Meng Xiaoran both turned their heads to look at him when they heard this, "What do you remember?" ”
Chen Jingfeng looked at the two of them and said, "Yuqing Mountain, I know where that mountain is."
Shen Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really? ”
Chen Jingfeng nodded, "Naturally, it's true, it's a mountain, it's better to say it's a small hillside, but there are many plants and trees in the forest, I have been there to collect medicine, and I heard the local villagers call it Yuqing Mountain, otherwise no one would have thought that it was a mountain." ”
"I see, no wonder I can't find out where there is Yuqing Mountain after checking for a long time." Shen Qian shook his head and said, his face full of excitement.
"Jingfeng, tomorrow you will go again in the name of collecting medicine, and I will quietly follow you to recognize the way."
"Good!" Chen Jingfeng nodded.
Meng Xiaoran thought for a while and said: "Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion is in chaos, Liu Yingyuan is afraid that he will not have time to take care of that Yuqing Mountain, so it must be a good time to investigate."
Shen Qian nodded, "You should pay attention to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if there is any change in Liu Yingyuan, you will spread the news." ”
"yes, I see."
A major event happened in the early court today, Song Shangshu took the lead in a joint letter with several ministers, playing Liu Ruxue, the daughter of Prime Minister Chen, to buy murder, and Prime Minister Liu Yingyuan was to protect his daughter, intending to erase the evidence and present the evidence.
After the emperor read the evidence, Long Yan was furious, and immediately sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to arrest Liu Ruxue, put him in prison, and waited for the trial of the three divisions.
Liu Yingyuan didn't expect things to develop to this point, his eyes were closed on the spot, and he fainted, but the emperor didn't have any sympathy when he saw this, and waved his hand to let people carry him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister's Mansion now has no hostess, the eldest lady is locked up again, Liu Yingyuan thought that Aunt Wan had just lost her son, so she asked her to take care of the house, these days, the Prime Minister's Mansion is really chaotic.
At the same time, Liu Ruxue, who was locked in the house, heard the sound of unlocking, and was excited in her heart, thinking that her father had let her out, but she didn't know that this was the janissary in the palace who came to arrest her and put her in prison.
As soon as the door opened, Liu Ruxue immediately ran out, but who expected that she would be greeted by a Praetorian guard in military uniform.
"Let me go, what are you doing? Let go of me, my father is the prime minister, you dare to do this to me? Liu Ruxue struggled.
"Miss Liu, your subordinates and others arrested you in the name of the emperor, you are suspected of buying and killing Song Qingcheng, the son of Song Shangshu, and you will make a decision after the trial of the three divisions." The palace people on the side saw her struggling, so they said the emperor's words expressionlessly, considering that she was the niece of the queen mother after all, she didn't insult too much, who knows if she will turn over later?
Liu Ruxue was taken away, and the shouts led the entire Xiangfu out, Meng Xiaoran and Xiaocui stood outside Moyuzhai, watching quietly, and only turned around and went back after the people were far away.
"Today's Prime Minister's Mansion is really lively." Meng Xiaoran had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but she was very happy in her heart, Liu Ruxue had killed so many people, and finally got the evil consequences, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.
Xiaocui nodded again and again on the side, with an unconcealed joy on her face, "Sister, eldest lady, this is evil and evil retribution, she has done so many bad things, and she was finally arrested, my mother is right, this world is all a cycle of cause and effect, good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, it's not that it is not reported, the time has not come!" ”
Meng Xiaoran touched her head and smiled, "Yes, this world is all about the cycle of cause and effect, and good and evil are rewarded!" ”
Liu Yingyuan was in a coma for a day, and only woke up at night, and the imperial doctor said that he was in a coma caused by the upsurge of qi and blood, and he needed to recuperate and not be angry again.
It was night, taking advantage of Liu Yingyuan's illness, Meng Xiaoran quietly went to the main courtyard, and found that there were many masters hiding in the dark around, she didn't dare to act rashly, and finally went back, it seems that Liu Yingyuan's study must have a secret, otherwise now that he has fallen, why are there so many people in charge?
Liu Ruxue was thrown into prison, and the only one she cared about the most was Liu Yingyuan, although the queen mother was her aunt, but her sadness was just pretending, but she didn't feel much in her heart.
Liu Yingyuan dragged the sick body into the palace on the second day, and Queen Liu saw her brother's pale appearance, and she felt a little unbearable, watching him kneel on the ground and cry bitterly, and finally helplessly walked over to help him up.
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to save Ruxue, as soon as I heard the news yesterday, I went to ask the emperor, but the emperor didn't give me any face, and even reprimanded me, saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, hey, Xue'er is indeed in a big disaster this time." Empress Liu sighed and shook her head.
Liu Yingyuan looked sad, "But Xue'er is only seventeen years old, if the mother doesn't save her this time, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky." ”
Empress Liu frowned, and thought for a long time before saying, "I can only think of some special methods for this matter."
Liu Yingyuan immediately understood what she meant when he heard this, the brother and sister glanced at each other, and then walked to the side to discuss, Liu Yingyuan had been staying in Kunning Palace until noon, and had dinner with the queen before leaving the palace, and when he came out, his face was still the same as before, worried.
Liu Ruxue's case is very simple, the evidence is conclusive, but the case was decided in three days, Song Shangshu vowed to let Liu Ruxue kill people to pay for his life this time, spreading rumors among the people, and the people talked about it.
Even if the emperor wanted to spare her life, it was not easy to do it, and in the end he could only order to be beheaded at noon three days later, and Liu Yingyuan fainted again after hearing the news.
Meng Xiaoran faintly felt that something was wrong, a person like Liu Yingyuan would really watch his daughter be beheaded? How did you faint again? That's a big difference from what he used to be.
But what surprised her was that Liu Yingyuan couldn't afford to get sick, and he couldn't get up on the day Liu Ruxue was beheaded on the third day, and in the end, the housekeeper took someone to bring Liu Ruxue's body back, and the prime minister's mansion hung up white silk again.
In just half a month, the Prime Minister's Mansion held three funerals in succession, Liu Ruxue was guilty, and the funeral naturally could not be done in a big way, so she was hastily buried after stopping at home for a day.
After Liu Ruxue was buried, the Prime Minister's Mansion fell into calm, Meng Xiaoran always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find anything, and she didn't think much about it after a few days.
Besides, she didn't have time to think about it anymore, because Lu Ziqing was back.
On this day, Meng Xiaoran was quietly holding her embroidered purse, when suddenly Xiaocui ran in panting.
Meng Xiaoran didn't look back, and asked, "Xiaocui, what happened again, running in such a hurry?"
"Sister, the young master is back!" Xiao Cui smiled, and her voice was irrepressibly excited.
Meng Xiaoran's heart jumped when he heard this, and he quickly put away the purse in his hand, "What did you say, he came back?" ”
"I'm back."
Meng Xiaoran stood up and looked at the person who walked in from outside the door, after a few months, he had lost a lot of weight, and he was still dressed in white, like an immortal.
