Chapter 30: Twists and Turns

Zhu Jing grabbed the shoulder of the Eighth Prince and shook violently, "You don't know about your mother's poisoning, do you?" Isn't it? ”

Maybe he was frightened by what Zhu Jing said, or maybe he was frightened by Zhu Jing, the eighth prince said godlessly, "Well, I don't know anything." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Oops!" Zhu Jing turned to Ye Qiu and said, "You go to find the princess, Concubine Ming wants to kill the princess!! ”

In the Splendid Palace, Concubine Ming, that is, the mother of the Eighth Prince, was talking to Qingli.

"The princess has really found a good helper." Concubine Ming said.

"Why do you say that?" Qing Li asked.

"Qiu Shaoxia is the nephew of General Longcheng, even if he doesn't soar in the future, he will definitely not be ordinary." Concubine Ming said indifferently.

Qing Li smiled slightly and said, "I just happened to know a few friends, but I didn't know that he met General Longcheng at the beginning." ”

"Good luck with that princess." Concubine Ming raised her glass and drank.

Qing Li also returned the salute, raised his glass, and drank it.

"Don't drink!" Xiyue strode in, took the cup from Qingli's hand, looked at Concubine Ming and said, "You dare to poison the princess!" ”

Concubine Ming's face panicked, and then said, "What did you say?" How did I poison the princess? ”

At this time, several guards walked in and surrounded the surroundings.

"Third brother, what's wrong?" Qing Li stood up, looked at Xiyue and said.

"Qingli, look." Xiyue took out a silver needle and lit it on the tea.

"You said I poisoned the princess, do you think it's poisonous?" Concubine Ming said.

"Really?" After Xiyue finished speaking, he used the same silver needle to pierce the pastry, and when he pulled it out, half of the silver needle turned black.

Qing Li looked at Concubine Ming in horror and said, "Why do you want to harm me? ”

"I can explain that." Zhu Jing walked in as he spoke, and Ye Qiu followed.

"Princess Yuyou wants to find out the murderer of the former emperor as a condition for ascending to the throne, but she guessed that this is just a trap, a trap to attract the murderer to throw herself into the net, so the question is, how can this condition be canceled?" Zhu Jing looked around and said, "Then the only way to do it is to let the princess Xiangyu die." ”

"You, you nonsense! I didn't plant this poison, you wanted to harm me! Concubine Ming said in a panic.

"You don't have to quibble, I have found the poison master in your temple, and he still has the poison of the saint's death on his body, and the evidence is conclusive." Xiyue said sharply.

The Eighth Prince walked into the Splendid Palace with many guards, the number of which was several times that of the people brought by Xiyue, and at this time surrounded the main hall, stood in front of Concubine Ming and said, "You don't want to slander my mother. ”

Ye Qiu held a sword in front of everyone and summoned a few pets, and the Eighth Emperor not only brought a few guards, but also hid a few good hands in the shadows of the Splendid Palace, and the atmosphere was tense.

Suddenly, Concubine Ming said to a corner of the Splendid Palace, "General Longcheng, we will definitely not hurt the princess and let her complete the edict of the first emperor." ”

When everyone looked, the figure of Long Cheng had disappeared.

"Eighth brother, what are you trying to do!" Xiyue pointed at the Eighth Prince and said, "Are you going to harm your brother and sister?" ”

"Third brother, even if I don't want to harm you, but you can't harm my mother, my mother can't afford this crime, it's a capital crime!" The eighth prince said sadly.

"I've found out the evidence that she poisoned her father, do you want me to pull the poisoner up to confront you, and you won't give up." Xiyue said.

The Eighth Prince turned his head, looked at Concubine Ming and asked, "Mother, is this true?" ”

Concubine Ming's eyes flickered, avoiding the gaze of the Eighth Prince, the meaning was self-evident, the Eighth Prince trembled and turned his head and said, "Third brother, is it okay to let my mother go?" I don't fight for the throne anymore. ”

"The Eighth Prince didn't want the throne in the first place." Zhu Jing said on the side: "In the past few days, the Eighth Prince has not sent anyone to look for the murderer, not because he knows that the murderer is his mother, but because you don't want this throne at all." You have an idle personality and are used to living an idle and unrestrained life, so it will feel unnatural even if you are allowed to sit on the throne. ”

Suddenly, a person was thrown in from outside the Splendid Palace, one of the generals guarding the palace, this general had a blue nose and swollen face, his hair was scattered, and the armor on his body had long been broken, and if you looked closely, this general had already died. A person who was very familiar with Qingli and Xiyue walked in alone, this person was also disheveled, the clothes on his body were sloppy, and there was a smell of wine, after walking in, he found a place to sit down, drank the cup of tea on the table, looked at the eighth prince and said, "You are not qualified to ascend the throne!" ”

"Big brother, this tea." Xiyue reminded Credit Suisse.

Credit Suisse waved his hand and said, "I know." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The Eighth Prince said.

"Ask your mother! Whether she was poisoned or not this time is a capital offense! Credit Suisse said.

"Mother?" The Eighth Prince turned his head to look at his mother suspiciously. However, the moment Concubine Ming saw the corpse, she was already paralyzed on the ground.

Zhu Jing bowed to the third prince and the eighth prince respectively and said, "Two princes, the rest of the matter is the imperial family's business, it is better to remove the guards." ”

Xiyue and the Eighth Prince waved their hands, the guards all retreated, Ye Qiu and Zhu Jing did not leave, Zhu Jing stepped forward and said, "The grass people have a guess, I don't know if the Eighth Prince is willing to listen?" ”

"You say." The Eighth Prince said weakly.

Zhu Jingxiang Credit Suisse and Xiyue nodded and said, "If there is any omission or mistake, then ask the two princes to supplement and correct it." ”

"The eighth prince is twenty-six this year, and Concubine Ming only has one heir of the eighth prince, so things have to start from twenty-seven years ago." Zhu Jing said with his hand, "Concubine Ming's family is a dignitary in the court, her brother is in charge of a side of the soldiers and horses, her father is also an important minister in the court, the family has both Chinese ministers and military generals, and it is common for someone to marry into the imperial family, but if you can give birth to a son, you must be a strong candidate to compete for the throne." ”

"But it's a pity that although Concubine Ming has a noble status in the palace, she has not come out for many years, so Concubine Ming thought of a way to fornicate with outsiders!" Zhu Jing paused and said, "Concubine Ming gave birth to the Eighth Prince very smoothly, time has passed, and Concubine Ming didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her, but she was shocked to find that the man who had fornicated many years ago actually became the general of the Fire Scale Soldier who guarded the palace. ”

"In order not to let the matter be revealed, I had murderous intent and killed the general of the Fire Scale Soldiers, but unfortunately I was discovered by Hongguang, the holy servant, so you found Hongguang's granddaughter to threaten. But you still don't feel at ease, Hongguang stays by the saint's side all day long, what if one day he leaks his mouth? So you just don't do it and don't stop and solve the holy one. As long as you let your son become the emperor, the rest of the things will not be a problem. Zhu Jing bowed and left.

"A bunch of nonsense, a bunch of nonsense!" The Eighth Prince said angrily.

Concubine Ming stood up, patted the eighth prince on the shoulder and said, "He didn't say anything wrong. Concubine Ming bowed slightly to everyone and said, "The eldest prince, the third prince, and the princess, you can capture me at any time, can you give our mother and son some time alone at this time?" ”

Credit Suisse was the first to walk out of the Splendid Palace, followed by the second prince and Qingli, and Ye Qiu and Zhu Jing walked last.

Ye Qiu asked Zhu Jing and said, "How do you know this?" ”

"Originally, a lot of things were not clear, but combined with the two princes, I guessed a rough idea." Zhu Jing whispered.

"What about Concubine Ming's background, how do you know?" Ye Qiu asked.

"I've checked the palace files with you, and I've written them down." Zhu Jing said.

"Never forget!" Ye Qiu was surprised.

"No, there are some things I remember more and some things I can't." Zhu Jing explained.

In the Splendid Palace, the eighth prince grabbed Concubine Ming's hand and said, "Mother, I will take you out of here, they can't stop me." ”

"It's useless, it's useless." Concubine Ming shook off the hand of the eighth prince and said, "I will definitely die, but you still have a chance, the emperor." ”

"What chance?" The Eighth Prince said.

A moment later, the Eighth Prince walked out of the Splendid Palace, his face haggard, and left with all the guards. Concubine Ming, on the other hand, staggered out and was taken away by Xiyue's guards.

"Brother Huang!" Credit Suisse has already left, and Qingli is shouting Xiyue at the moment.

"What's wrong?" Xiyue asked.

"Actually, my father left me a secret letter asking me to choose a successor between you and my eldest brother." Qing Li took a deep breath and said, "Just now, the eldest brother has already said that he doesn't want to succeed and wants to live some idle life, what about you, third brother, are you willing to be the emperor of this country?" ”

Xiyue was first joyful, then contemplative, and finally firmly said, "It is incumbent." ”

"The task [Imperial Rebellion] is completed, and the level of assistance is forty-one percent, and the reward will be issued on the day the new monarch ascends the throne."

"Do you know what happened to Big Brother? How did it come to this? Xiyue said.

"I don't know. I'll ask in a few days. Qingli said.

When they left the palace, it was getting late, and Ye Qiu and Zhu Jing were chatting at the Ruyi Tavern. Yi Wuxian walked in, walked straight to Ye Qiu and said, "I'm back." ”

"Oh, you're back, what are you doing?" Ye Qiu drank some wine, didn't react for a while, and then said, "Ha! You're back! ”

Yi Wuxian glanced at him, sat aside, took a sip of wine, and said, "I went to help my descendants get rid of some curses, but not completely." I'm now sure it must have been a curse from the gods! ”

"Gods? Who will it be? Ye Qiu frowned and asked.

"I don't know! He has put such a powerful curse on both the Shadow Clan and the Beast Clan, I'm afraid the plot is not small. Yi Wuxian said, "I guess it's a god from another domain." By the way, this wine is not very good, has you finished drinking [Sea Fairy Brew]? ”

"It's nice to have something for you to drink." Ye Qiu said casually, "If it's a god from another domain, which domain will it be?" ”

"Good wine leads to good ideas." Yi Wuxian said, "I don't know, there are many domains that are not good friends with the human domain." When I return to the throne, I must get this account back. ”

Zhu Jing on the side was flustered when he heard this, he was originally a little proud that he had solved a case in the royal family, but when he heard the conversation between Ye Qiu and Yi Wuxian, it was no longer something that mortals could participate in. Yi Wuxian glanced at Zhu Jing, sucked some wine in his palm, and after a few volleys, he was waved by Yi Wuxian and penetrated into Zhu Jing's skin, and Zhu Jing immediately got drunk.

"How's your spirit? Where is the top of the Holy Spirit? Do you want me to go with you? Ye Qiu said.

"The divine soul has been completed when I was in the Shadow Clan, and I brought one to Zhou Hao." Yi Wuxian said, "And [the top of the Holy Spirit], I can only let me go by myself, even if you go, it's useless." But now that my fate line has been mixed with you, there are some things I can only ask you for help with. ”
