Chapter 33: Released from prison
Jiang Wan sneered, she thought that Lu Zhixing's face was very pleasing to the eye, but now she looked at it and made her disgusted.
"You are very wronged, there are all the human and material evidence, how can you believe you."
Lu Zhixing remembered that when the case was closed, all the clues pointed to Jiang Wan, who could it be if she wasn't. It was his first child, and he disappeared into the world before he was born. He thinks that he is worthy of a husband and wife just by beating her into the cold palace, and since ancient times, murdering the emperor's heir has been a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans.
"Isn't it also human and material evidence now, what Your Majesty wants is just a result, then I admit that it was I who killed Concubine Xi, can Your Majesty be satisfied?"
Jiang Wan didn't want to continue this meaningless rehash of old accounts anymore, she just wanted the landing trip to give her a relief as soon as possible. Lu Zhixing frowned after hearing Jiang Wan's "confession", and her disdainful eyes made him lose his mind.
"Good life interrogates her, I want something useful from her mouth."
Lu Zhixing waved his sleeves and turned to leave, Jiang Wan was very disappointed, if Lu Zhixing could order her to be executed immediately, or finish her off with his own hands. She didn't want to stay in this world for a moment, this palace like a swamp and hell, what way could she leave except die.
"Xin Guannu, offended."
As soon as Lu Zhixing came out of the prison, he met the oncoming Queen Mother and Xia Yahan. Lu Zhixing already understood the Queen Mother's intention.
"Your Majesty, but you just went to see the Xin Guannu come out?"
"Exactly."
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Zhixing, who had a heavy face, and felt that Jiang Wan's situation should not be very good. Today's Jiang Wan is not the same as before, if Jiang Wan's words provoke Lu Zhixing, the consequences can be imagined.
"The mourning family came to testify for Xin Guannu this time, and the palace people of Luoyunxuan just proved that Xin Guannu and Xi Concubine had friction, and the mourning family proved that Xin Guannu did not have time to attack Xi Concubine."
The Queen Mother asked Lu Zhixing to inspect the work for her when she salvaged Concubine Xi that day, and Lu Zhixing didn't know what the Queen Mother meant, but he still did it.
"Zuo, you tell the mourning family and Your Majesty when Concubine Xi died."
He told Lu Zhixing and the Queen Mother the time when he had deduced the death of Concubine Xi through inspection. Xia Yahan proved that Jiang Wan and herself were first with her around that time period, and then she sent Jiang Wan back to Yunxuan.
Lu Zhixing was considering whether this was fabricated by Xia Yahan in order to protect Jiang Wan, but the Queen Mother took out her identity to vouch for Jiang Wan.
"The mourning family is just a Baoxin official girl who came out of the prison, if the truth found out in the end is still Xin Guannu, then the mourning family will never protect it."
The Queen Mother is also a wise person, this matter is very important, and she can't ask Lu Zhixing to immediately announce Jiang Wan's innocence. The only thing she could do for Jiang Wan was to make her suffer less.
"Okay, since the Queen Mother guarantees it, then I agree to temporarily restore the free body of the Xin Guannu."
With Lu Zhixing's consent, Xia Yahan and the Queen Mother went to the prison to pick up people. When they saw Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan was tied to a wooden frame, her head hung down and she didn't make a sound, and there were faint scars on her body.
Of course, the prison will use torture to extract confessions, but they know that Jiang Wan has not been truly convicted, so they do not use too harsh punishment.
"Jiang Wan!"
Xia Yahan wanted to enter the prison door, but was stopped by the jailers until they saw the Queen Mother following closely behind. The Queen Mother took out Lu Zhixing's token and wanted to take Jiang Wan away.
Jiang Wan heard the familiar movement, raised her head to look at Xia Yahan with tears in her eyes, and a hoarse voice came from her throat, "Yahan, why are you here?" ”
"Wan'er, it's too late to mourn the family, a hard-working child."
The Queen Mother was also very distressed when she saw Jiang Wan's appearance, if she could come a little earlier, Jiang Wan would not suffer such a crime. Xia Yahan and Mo'er put Jiang Wan down from the shelf, Jiang Wan's injury was not serious, but she did not eat or drink for a long time, which made her lose her strength. She was helped out of the prison by Xia Yahan and Mo'er.
"You can stay with me for a few days, and I can take care of you."
Xia Yahan said that he couldn't let Jiang Wan return to Luoyunxuan, and those vicious palace people in Luoyunxuan might not know what to do to Jiang Wan.
"Hmm."
Jiang Wan agreed softly, and then his eyes went black and he fainted.
"Jiang Wan!"
When Jiang Wan woke up again, she was lying on the bed in Xia Yahan's residence. She sat up with some difficulty, and then Ping'er walked in with a teapot, and was very excited to see her wake up.
"Master, you're awake, but what's uncomfortable?"
Jiang Wan looked at herself, her clothes had been changed, and her injuries had been bandaged, she was tired of Xia Yahan and the Queen Mother this time.
Jiang Wan got out of bed, and Ping'er wanted to come over to help her, but she waved her hand and signaled that she didn't need to. The footsteps were still a little vain, Jiang Wan drank a cup of tea and slowed down, "Your master, I will not die again." ”
"Master, this time thanks to Ju Changzai and the Queen Mother to bail you out, master, you wait for me, I'll go and bring the porridge on the stove."
After Xian'er walked out, Xia Yahan passed by and saw that Jiang Wan had been able to get out of bed, which seemed to be a lot of relief.
Jiang Wan looked at Xia Yahan and thanked her with a smile.
"What is there to thank me, where can I watch the innocent you die in vain."
Xia Yahan was really frightened this time, she didn't dare to think that if the Queen Mother came forward, it would be useless, so what would Jiang Wan do. Jiang Wan didn't have a feeling of the rest of her life, and she felt a pity in her heart that she had lost the opportunity to be freed. She dodged this time, and there will still be a next time, which shows that the gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, but all the hidden arrows that were shot at her were still poisonous.
"I really don't know how the original owner has lived in the harem for so many years." Jiang Wan thought secretly in his heart.
"And what you should thank the most is the Queen Mother, I went to plead with Your Majesty at the beginning, but I didn't even see Your Majesty's face."
"Well, when I fully recover, I will go to the Queen Mother's bedroom to thank the Queen Mother."
After Jiang Wan recuperated in Xia Yahan's courtyard for two days, she was able to go out and walk around, but she found that there were always palace people following her. But she didn't do anything unseemly, so she didn't take it to heart.
But there are always times when people are annoying.
"Why do you keep following me?"
"Xinguannu, we are under the order of His Majesty, and we must watch over Xinguannu's every move before the case is settled."
Jiang Wan was helpless, she didn't trust Lu Zhixing's ability to investigate the case, and she couldn't keep it and was bought by the mastermind behind the scenes. Now that she has come out of the prison, she doesn't want to go back.
She had to leave the palace alive, and if she died so easily, she would have wasted the opportunity to cross this time.
Jiang Wan went to the imperial study, she knew that Lu Zhixing was there. And Lu Zhixing was not surprised by Jiang Wan's arrival, because he was just looking for Jiang Wan.
"I was thinking about looking for you, but you came to me first."
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with finding a slave?"
"I ask you to participate in the investigation of this case, but also for your own sake."
Lu Zhixing's previous release of Jiang Wan spread to the previous dynasty for some reason, and General Wang was very dissatisfied with it. Lu Zhixing was able to reveal the truth, and proposed to General Wang to let Jiang Wan solve the case together, but General Wang had to agree.
"I didn't expect the slave to have the same idea as His Majesty."
Jiang Wan left after getting the will to participate in the case from Lu Zhixing. But there were people who couldn't sit still.
Lin Yao in the palace of the concubine was very angry after Jiang Wan was released on bail by the Queen Mother. Why every time she wants to put Jiang Wan to death, Jiang Wan always escapes death.
Now Jiang Wan not only did not die in the prison, but was not directly convicted, but was released to participate in the investigation together, which made Lin Yao grit her teeth with hatred.
"Where is Jiang Wan's slut, one or two are towards her, the Queen Mother is towards her, and His Majesty has always been obsessed with her, but he refuses to kill her."
"Niangniang is angry, don't be angry."
"This palace is not angry, and this palace has to deal with Jiang Wan's slut."
Lin Yao tore the Jinpa in his hand, but the quality of the Jinpa was too good, and Lin Yao tore it for a long time and didn't crack.
"Even this broken handkerchief dares to argue with the palace, Yuanzhu brings the brazier!"
Yuan Zhu lit the brazier, Lin Yao threw the handkerchief into it, and watched the tongue of fire lick and lick it slowly. Jinpa, Jinpa twisted in the flames, and then vanished.
Lin Yao's face looked even more crazy against the backdrop of the firelight, like a demon with teeth and claws. Yuan Zhu stood aside, still indifferent, she was used to this kind of Lin Yao, perhaps because her heart was like a demon.
Yuan Zhu saw that Jinpa was completely gone, so he took action to extinguish the flames, leaving only a charred ash in the brazier. Lin Yao looked at the Jinpa's ashes, with a seeping smile on her face, all those who stood in her way and disobeyed her intentions would end up like this Jinpa.
At this time, Jiang Wan, who was locked by Lin Yao, also looked in the direction of the concubine's palace.
"Lin Yao, I know that this matter must be related to you, I am afraid that I can't bear this unexpected gift you gave me, and I will return it to you."
"Master, why did you fall so much, what are you looking at?"
Ping'er walked in front and saw Jiang Wan falling behind, so she called her.
"It's nothing, it's just a bird passing by."
Jiang Wan took Ping'er to the Queen Mother's bedroom, the Queen Mother saved her this time, and she always had to visit. Mama Liang happened to come out of the dormitory, and when she saw Jiang Wan, she still had a loving smile on her face.
"Is Officer Xin better?"
"It's okay, Mama Lao Liang is worried."
"The old slave will go and pass it on to the Queen Mother first, wait a minute."
After a while, Mama Liang came out and welcomed Jiang Wan in. Jiang Wan entered the dormitory, still the same as when he came last time, but the difference was that the incense in the incense burner was not lit.
It's just that the Queen Mother is not here, which makes Jiang Wan a little puzzled. At this moment, the Queen Mother walked out from the side, and the Queen Mother was not wearing Buddhist clothes like last time, but the Queen Mother's outfit with makeup on her face.
"The Queen Mother?"
"The mourning family figured it out, and finally the mourning family was immersed in the temporary relief that Buddhism brought to the mourning family, and forgot that the harem was not over."
The Queen Mother's expression was different from usual, and she had a majesty that Jiang Wan had never seen at this time.
