Chapter 52: Forcing Her to Show Up
"No way!"
She pursed her lips and shook her head, now is not the time, Lu Yuanbai can't be subdued because of this evidence, if she is not completely sure, she is afraid that he will retaliate against his biological parents.
"The rumors in the city have tied me to Lu Yuanbai, even in front of the emperor, my words will not be a testimony, but will not be good for you. ”
Zhong Jingsong's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but scold: "But Lu Yuanbai is really rampant, is there anything he doesn't dare to do next?"
"This doesn't work, then you can only change the angle, you can't find Liuyin, it's the same to find Chunzhi, she is a living person, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air. ”
As long as one of them is found, it can prove the relationship between Lu Yuanbai and the Zhao family's extermination case.
Zhong Jingsong is not ignorant of this truth, the city is full of portraits of Chunzhi, and there has been no news for nearly dozens of days, and I am afraid there is little hope.
But looking at Chi Yingchu's attitude, he must have an idea in his heart, and immediately asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I asked people to check her family, and there was only an elderly mother, who used to ask someone to send money back every month, but last month she asked someone to send hundreds of taels, and then there was no news......
After listening to her, Zhong Jingsong felt that there was some truth, so he asked people to do it.
There were no useful clues to the death of the woman in the palace, and the other party used ordinary arrows, without special markings, and it seemed that they were very vigilant.
The emperor asked people to prepare for burial, and the person in charge of the matter found that her palms were clenched into fists, and when she opened them, she saw something in her palm, and her face changed significantly.
"I want to secretly hand things over to the emperor, so that the fourth prince doesn't know......"
Lu Yuanbai lived in the palace leisurely, the eunuchs here didn't dare to offend him, the food sent was hot, and the emperor did not block his external news, so in his eyes, house arrest was nothing.
The window lattice was knocked three times, he put down the notebook in his hand, and his face was slightly cold: "Come in." ”
"Master, there is news about the matter to be investigated. "The guard came in and quickly closed the door, this time he really made it happen.
After hearing this, Lu Yuanbai dismissed the secret guard, and if he wanted the emperor to stop investigating thoroughly, the only way was for the emperor to stop himself...... And the Zhao family's previous incident can just come in handy.
The emperor has been worried about the affairs of the Zhao family for the past few days, and every day he will ask Zhong Jingsong if there is any progress, this matter is not easy to investigate, and the answer is naturally no.
"I heard that the Zhao family has a daughter who has entered the Four Princes' Mansion, what about the maid beside her?"
"After Zhao's death, the maid was nowhere to be found, and the minister was still investigating. Zhong Jingsong thought about it, there was more than one emperor in the palace, and some things were not said.
The emperor's face softened slightly, and his tone was resolute: "If you still need manpower, just speak, I will definitely not let go of the people behind the scenes." ”
"The emperor is shengming!" the court knelt down.
In the past few days that Lu Yuanbai has been in the palace, there are still housekeepers in the palace, and it is not to the point of chaos, Chi Yingchu hid for a few days and refused to see anyone, in fact, he went to find Chunzhi's mother.
As soon as the news spread, Chunzhi immediately couldn't bear it, she wanted to go out despite Liuyin's obstruction, and Liuyin said coldly: "If you are caught, I will kill you before they do." ”
Chunzhi shook his palm, thought of his old mother with gray temples, gritted his teeth and said, "Then what should I do with my mother......?
"Your mother is not at fault, even if it falls into their hands, they can't do anything to your mother. ”
Although she said this, Chunzhi was still not at ease, and she was afraid that she would stop her again: "No, I still have to go and see, but I won't betray you, you can rest assured." ”
Liuyin looked at her back and didn't speak, but in her head she was thinking that only the mouth of a dead man was the most secret.
Chunzhi's mother only knew that she was working as a maid in a big family, and the rest was not clear.
"It's not that ...... Let me see Zhi'er......"
"Don't worry, auntie, we are old acquaintances, if she knows that you are coming, she will definitely be happy. Chi Yingchu fed her some water.
The old lady shook her hands and leaned half of her body back in the chair: "That's good." ”
Because there was Lu Yuanbai's eyeliner in the palace, the old lady was placed in Shuntian Mansion, and the next day someone came to inquire about Chunzhi's mother's news, and Zhong Jingsong told him the truth.
Deep in the night.
Chunzhi saw the candle flame lit in the courtyard of the wall, and thought that her mother was inside, even though the guards in the Shuncheon Mansion were strong, she still decided to take a risk.
There were half fewer guards tonight than usual, and even the candles lit in the corners of the remote rooms, which looked brighter than usual, were Zhong Jingsong's meaning.
Chunzhi sneaked into the room, and when the old lady saw her, she immediately burst into tears: "You are ......"
"Mother, this is not the place to talk, I'll take you away now. Chunzhi took out the rope and wanted to carry her on her back and then tie it to her body.
But before she could make a move, a group of guards outside the door rushed in, there were more than a dozen, Zhong Jingsong and Chi Yingchu walked in, Chunzhi met their eyes, and her eyes trembled.
"It took a lot of effort to make you show up. ”
Chunzhi showed an unwilling look in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you doing this just to force me? Now that I'm here, can you let my mother go?"
"Yes. "Chi Yingchu didn't plan to do anything to the old man, as long as Chunzhi appeared, he would send the old lady back.
Before the old lady was taken out, she was still a little worried about her daughter, Chunzhi didn't dare to let her know, and wiped her tears: "Mother, I'm fine." ”
The door was closed again, and Chunzhi returned to his previous indifference: "If you want to know anything, just ask." ”
"Why did you frame me for instructing you before? Aren't you Zhao Lique's person?"
Chunzhi laughed sarcastically: "Then does she really treat me as her own? ”
"As for why I framed you, only by stepping on your position, I could jump out of that prison in the palace, if it wasn't for my mother's persecution, you wouldn't have caught me so quickly!"
Zhong Jingsong's eyes swept over the rows of guards, and his voice was indifferent: "But that's only a matter of time, if you hate Zhao Lique, then does the Zhao family's affairs have anything to do with you?"
Chunzhi denied without hesitation: "No, no matter how big I can be, I'm just a maid, how can I kill several men in one moment?"
This is not unreasonable, Zhong Jingsong and Chi Yingchu glanced at each other, and decided to leave Chunzhi behind, and then send her mother back.
"What about Liuyin, where is she now?"
Chunzhi avoided answering this question, thinking of the truth about Zhao Lique's miscarriage, the corners of her eyes were a little vicious: "When Zhao Lique had a miscarriage, she thought it was Liu Yuezhi's doing. ”
"But who that person really is, she doesn't know until she dies, and I won't tell you, don't you like to find out?
When Chi Yingchu saw her like this, she felt that she was a little crazy, and was about to speak, when she heard a terrible scream.
Chunzhi's face was also anxious, she opened the door and ran out, Liuyin's figure jumped and flashed from the wall, and she almost collapsed and exhaled in pain: "Mother!"
