Chapter 517: Rupture
Chi Changting's voice fell, and the room was quiet for a moment.
"What does Chi Hou mean by this?" Qi Guogong's expression faded.
Chi Changting tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Xue Ling, a concubine who has just entered Beijing, can actually do such a thing under the nose of the Duke of Qi?" β
"I didn't notice it for a while." Qi is fair.
"Not noticing for a while? Or do you ignore it? β
Qi Guogong looked at him quietly and did not speak.
"Or ...... Is it from your indication at all? Chi Changting asked aggressively.
Qi Guogong said lightly: "No." β
"Why should my father have trouble with a weak woman from the Tang family!" Xue Zheng couldn't help but say angrily, "Chi Hou is just climbing around like this without evidence? β
"What is the evidence...... Chi Changting muttered in a low voice, and suddenly grabbed Xue Ling.
Xue Zheng was taken aback.
Since Xue Ling had been silent, she almost forgot that Xue Ling was still in the house.
I don't know if other people have forgotten it, and they didn't avoid Xue Ling when they said these words.
Doesn't this just remind Xue Ling to push the guilt out?
As far as Xue Ling did these things, how could he have considered it for the Duke of Qi at all?
As long as she could protect herself, she didn't doubt at all that Xue Ling would put the blame on anyone, including Qi Guogong!
"Chi Hou thinks that what Xue Siniang said is credible?" Xue Zheng was not the only one who thought like this, Lu Zijin was the first to question it.
Chi Changting brought Xue Ling in front of him, seeing the hope in her eyes that suddenly lit up, but he didn't unlock her acupoint as she expected.
"What she said, of course, is not credible," Chi Changting looked at the shattered hope in Xue Ling's eyes with a smile, and then looked up at Qi Guogong, "I'm not handling a case, what evidence do I need?" β
Sufficient evidence needs to be given only if someone else administers justice.
He doesn't need justice from others.
Today's so-called justice is just to give the prince a face.
Ah Wan's revenge, he can avenge it himself!
"I have a question, I want to ask Chi Hou!" Lu Zijin suddenly asked, "Since Qi Guogong has eliminated all those who know, after ten years, how did Chi Hou find clues and how did he find Zhen Yuniang?" β
Chi Changting smiled mockingly and said, "It's Qin Gui's clue to me." β
Lu Zijin frowned: "This is Yangmou!" β
Chi Changting changed his hand and grabbed Xue Ling's neck and raised it in front of Qi Guogong.
"That's right! It's Yangmou! Chi Changting nodded, pinched Xue Ling's neck with one hand, and pressed his daughter's face into his arms with the remaining hand, his eyes looked at Qi Guogong for a moment, and his hand forced-
"Click!"
Xue Ling's head hung down softly, his eyes were still wide in horror, and he couldn't say another word until he died.
In the dead silence, Li Yan stood up and said, "Xue Lingxing assassinated the crown princess, it's not a pity to die, so far, don't mention it again!" β
Qi is fair and quiet.
Chi Changting chuckled lightly and also answered "yes".
The grievances between the Xue and Chi families must not be made public, otherwise the foundation of the East Palace is missing, and Xue Ling's death can only be explained on the grounds of assassinating the crown princess.
As for the futureβ
"Lonely." Li Yan said lightly.
Chi Changting felt that the front of his arms was a little wet, so he still pressed his daughter's face, bowed slightly to Li Yan, and said in a respectful tone: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" β
When Li Yan walked in front of him, he stopped and looked at the girl in his arms.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she didn't know what she was sad about.
This scene can make her sad too much.
Even he felt exhausted.
But he can't just go away like that-
"Shang Lu will stay here and come back when the injury on the princess's face is healed."
Shang Lu kowtowed.
She wrestled from her father's grasp, and rolled half of her eyes to look at him quietly.
The eyes were sad and attached, and his heart melted when he saw it, and even his voice was unconsciously softer: "After the Lantern Festival, it is less than two months before the wedding, and Xue Gong and Chi Hou still need to do their best." β
Chi Changting looked at him in a complicated manner and didn't speak for a while.
Li Yan's eyes gradually sharpened.
The girl in his arms closed her eyes.
"Minister......" Chi Changting finally spoke slowly, "Don't dare to slack off!" β
Li Yan's heart was relieved, and he whispered to the girl in his arms who had reopened his eyes: "Lonely back to the palace." β
She nodded slightly in her father's palm.
Li Yan couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, and then walked out.
Qi Guogong and Xue Zheng followed.
Lu Zijin took a few steps behind, paused slightly when he passed in front of Chi Changting, and sighed: "Yangmou, is there nothing to be done?" β
Chi Changting smiled faintly and did not answer.
Chi Tang broke out of his father's arms and said obediently: "I'll send Mr." β
Lu Zijin couldn't help but smile, seeing that her hair was scattered, he remembered an action that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chi Changting liked very much, and also raised his hand and touched her head.
The little apprentice's hair is extraordinarily fine and soft, and it feels fluffy to the palm of his hand, and it is slightly itchy.
No wonder those two are so in love.
"You don't have to send it," Lu Zijin withdrew his hand with a smile, "Go back to sleep, it's dawn." β
Chi Tang nodded, still sent her to the gate of the courtyard, and leaned on the door to see her away, only then did he suddenly remember to ask, "How did Mr. come?" β
"It may be that your uncle is afraid that we will have a conflict with the Xue family, so he asked Mr. Lu to come over and be a peacemaker." Chi Changting guessed casually.
Chi Tang thought of what happened last night, and couldn't help but be gloomy: "These are all calculated by Qin Gui?" Isn't it ...... he succeeded" Thinking of it, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve, "When Daddy was away, Qin Gui also handed me a messageββ"
Chi Changting took it and took a look, and heard the little girl next to him muttering: "Is it the same as what my father received when I first returned to Beijing a year ago?" He was afraid that we wouldn't be able to get into trouble with the Xue family......"
"Yes," Chi Changting's eyes darkened slightly, crumpling the note casually, "It's his calculation, he won." β
Chi Tang's heart was sour.
remembered Xue Zheng's question, "Do you want to be like last year's Mid-Autumn Festival?"
She didn't want to, so she let Xue Zheng in at that time.
But the result was worse than last year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
They have already broken with the Duke of Qi......
β¦β¦
"With Chi Changting's temperament, the Duke of Qi and the Chi family, I'm afraid there is no possibility of repair," Qi Guogong said in a flat tone, "At present, there are still external troubles, Chi Changting is afraid that his daughter is about to marry into the East Palace, it will not be good, and when the prince ascends the throne in the future, it will be the time when Xue and Chi turn against each other." β
"So, did my father interfere in Tang's death?" Xue Zheng looked at him fixedly.
Although Xue Ling secretly entered Beijing, he was later found by the Duke of Qi.
After finding it, it was possible to send it back to Hedong, but Qi Guogong did not do so.
As for Xue Ling's later pretending to be Tang Yun, he was even more resigned.
That...... Could it be that ten years ago, he also let Xue Ling's assassination of Tang Yun go unchecked?
"These are no longer important," Qi Guogong said lightly, "With the prince's favor for Chi Si, in the future, Chi Si will be the queen, and it will do us all kinds of harm to the Xue family." β
Xue Zheng's heart tightened: "What does my father mean-"
Qi Guogong looked at her with deep eyes.
"The Xue family can produce one queen, why can't there be a second?"
