Chapter 369: The Man Behind the Scenes
"What should Master do now?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked worriedly, "First, my uncle's current body can't do without Master's care, and second, I'm afraid that they want to take Master as a hostage!" ”
Zhao Ling patted Jiang Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said: "At least Divine Doctor Liu's life will not be in danger now, don't worry, not to mention his martial arts, he is a life-saving benefactor for many people, and his prestige in Beijing is very high, unless it is absolutely necessary, the imperial grandmother will not hurt him, and His Majesty will find a way to protect him!" I'll find a way to get Master out of this matter, so don't worry too much! ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded lightly, "According to what the imperial doctor said, the third prince's injuries at that time were indeed very dangerous, and indeed if he was not careful, he would die on the spot, so it is estimated that no one would believe that he would direct and act in this play, and according to common sense, everyone would only suspect the second prince and his wife, and they would have known that I would not feed him that pill, and let him eat the consequences!" ”
"Silly girl, you are not doing this to save the third child's life, but also to save Princess Jingyun, if the third child is really dead, she will be the first person to suffer, and the imperial grandmother will not let her go no matter what!" Zhao Ling sighed.
"It's just that their situation is not that good now!" Jiang Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Being under house arrest in the mansion, I am afraid that the position on my body will also be abolished, good things do not go out, evil things go thousands of miles, he was originally the god of war in the hearts of courtiers and people, but now he has a notoriety of killing siblings!" No matter how this grievance is washed away, even if the real culprit is found, it is not easy to reverse this image! This is only one aspect, on the other hand, I don't know if the Queen Mother and His Majesty will be suspicious of him at this time, the second prince is benevolent and worthy of important responsibilities, I am afraid that this matter will affect his image in their hearts, and it will also make the courtiers more merciful to the third prince, the three princes have taken dangerous moves, and the effect is really good, and it will reverse his disadvantages at once and let him stand on the moral high ground! ”
"If this matter is really poisoned by the third child himself, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find evidence, then in the end, Princess Jingyun will inevitably be held responsible, as for which step it will bear, it depends on Your Majesty's intentions, but if Your Majesty has seen the second child earlier, this time the situation is not enough to make Your Majesty change his mind, have you forgotten that he has been successful in saving the car before? His Majesty still has a lot of trust in him! Zhao Ling said, "This time the second child will be affected, but it won't be as serious as you think!" ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, "I hope so!" ”
Although Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling returned to the Chu Mansion safely, but because of the previous assassin's sentence "avenge the Bai family", they still affected their husband and wife, although it was not mandatory, but there were indispensable people around to monitor it, although there was no clear will in the palace, but according to the meaning of the King of Chu, they stayed in the Chu Mansion for the time being, and it was better not to go out.
As for the assassination and poisoning, His Majesty handed over to Changsun Chi and the Imperial Forest Army for investigation respectively, and just two days later, Changsun Chi found out his eyebrows.
And the news he found out shocked the court officials, the main messenger behind the assassination at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was none other than his father, Sun Huai, the chief of the Dingjun Waiting. In the afternoon of the same day, the eldest grandson was imprisoned, and then the eldest grandson of Qiyang wrote to His Majesty, if this matter was really done by the rebel, the eldest grandson's family was willing to share the crime.
This assassination left very obvious evidence, one is that someone witnessed that two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Changsun Huai had contact with one of the assassins, and when he looked down, he found that these dancing girls were the dead soldiers he had raised.
This is ironclad evidence, and the eldest grandson is irrefutable.
He did participate in the planning of the assassination, so he couldn't cry out.
However, he didn't know why there was such a big mistake in the end, these dancing girls should not be candidates for assassination at all, why did they have to complete the assassination in the end?
What went wrong? Could it be her? But why did she hurt herself? What's in it for her?
The eldest grandson didn't understand why he was put on a show, and the eldest princess didn't understand why her son would treat her biological father like this!
The night was blurry, the eldest princess's eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, and the eldest grandson was kneeling below, and her back was straight like a snow-capped mountain.
"That's your own father, do you know what the impact of your doing this will be? Not only is your father finished, but even the entire eldest grandson family is finished, you can't find out that at most your future is blocked, do you want the whole clan to become your stepping stone for your own future? Your eldest grandson, General Chi, you are righteous and innocent, you are selfless, you are loyal, and you have a bright future! ”
"If something is wrong, it is wrong, no matter who it is, as long as it threatens the safety of His Majesty and threatens the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou, I will not show mercy, this is my duty!" Changsun Chi said in a firm tone, "Father will do such a thing, I am more heartbroken than your mother, I have hoped countless times that this is just a misunderstanding, but the facts tell me that this is the truth, my father is involved in this assassination plan, if my father's plan succeeds, what will be the consequences, it will be the Great Zhou Dynasty into endless chaos, the current balance will come to naught, and the people of the Great Zhou will be miserable!" ”
"I'm just a woman, I don't understand this, I just want you to save your father, I just want our family to be safe!" The eldest princess wiped her tears, got up and grabbed Changsun Chi's clothes, "You go and tell Your Majesty now, you made a mistake in the investigation, your father is innocent, and there is someone else behind the scenes, you go, you go now, otherwise you are not my son!" ”
"Mother, calm down!" The eldest grandson Chi roared, "The evidence of my father's matter is conclusive, there is no other way!" As for how Your Majesty will judge, whether the people of our eldest grandson's family will be implicated, this is not something I can control, I just did my duty as a courtier, my father made such a big mistake, I am also willing to be punished, if my mother is afraid of being implicated, you will enter the palace now, ask for the Queen Mother's forgiveness and protection, maybe there is a glimmer of life! ”
"You're not going to save your father anyway?" The eldest princess asked desperately.
Eldest Sun Chi closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Get out, you get out of here, don't come back, don't appear in front of me again!" The eldest princess roared.
"The mother is angry now, and after the mother is angry, the son will come back to ask for sin!" The eldest grandson Chi said and got up and walked out of the Dingjun Marquis's Mansion.
Even though the eldest grandson Chi is hard-hearted, but after all, he is his biological father who he has caught, and when he sees his father in prison and his mother so hysterical, how can he feel better in his heart? If you are pressed by a stone weighing a thousand pounds, you will be burned inside, and there is nowhere to escape.
Late at night, the eldest grandson Chi wandered on the streets, and the crowd on the street was bustling, and there was no one to confide in the bitterness in his heart.
Entering a green building, there were immediately countless warblers and warblers surrounded by Yanyan, such a handsome son, naturally he was still very popular with the girls.
Facing so many beauties, the expression on his face did not loosen, and he said lightly: "Find me a quiet place and have a jar of good wine!" ”
The most elegant single room was arranged, and several of the most beautiful girls accompanied him to drink, and one girl saw that he was depressed, and only cared about drinking, but did not speak, and asked, "Is there anything troublesome about the child?" We have a girl here, the sound of the piano is moving, and she may be able to relieve the depression in the heart of the child. ”
The eldest grandson thought for a moment and nodded.
After a few glasses of wine, after a while, I listened to the quiet and moving sound of the piano.
Eldest Sun Chi was slightly stunned, and then thought about it, she would definitely not be here, it must be just her own delusion. However, the melodious sound of the piano seems to be able to soothe his boredom at the moment.
Glass after cup of sad wine, the eldest grandson, who had always been very good at drinking, couldn't bear to get drunk and fell on the table.
Several girls covered their mouths and laughed, and at this time the chain opened, and a woman in a green dress with a veil slowly entered, looking at the drunk man with pity.
The girls laughed and said, "We know that this person is yours, so we won't rob you." Find two people to send this general to your room, and let you have a good night! ”
The woman in Tsing Yi did not speak, and her eyes never took her eyes off Changsun Chi's body.
Two turtle males came, carried the eldest grandson Chi to the room, and the woman in Tsing Yi entered, waving her hand to let everyone retreat.
She lifted the veil on her face, revealing a beautiful face, sat on the edge of the bed, slowly stroked Changsun Chi's cheeks and body, almost greedily smelled the breath on his body, and said leisurely: "You are finally back in my arms!" ”
She slowly took off Changsun Chi's clothes, looked at his sturdy body, and then took off her own clothes one by one, and gently extinguished the candle when the two were honest with each other.
The spring breeze is once, and the spring night is short.
The eldest grandson woke up late, with a splitting headache, looking at the unfamiliar environment, and was stunned.
"Are you awake?" The voice of the strange woman came, and he hurriedly turned his head, only to see a strange woman lying beside him.
"You've been drunk all night, and you're only afraid of a headache right now, so I'll tell the kitchen to make you a bowl of hangover soup!" The woman said softly, and then got up to reveal her naked perfect body, and showed it from the quilt without any shyness, standing in front of Changsun Chi to show it.
She took a piece of clothing from the ground and put it on, went to the door and said a few words to the maid outside, and then returned to the bedside, and asked softly, "Do you want to get up now or sleep a little longer?" ”
"Who are you?" Eldest Sun Chi frowned and asked.
