219, plain clothes
Lin Wenyuan suddenly panicked, he couldn't figure out what happened after all, but he said repeatedly: "No, I don't!" β
Everyone looked at Lin Wenyuan with unbelievable eyes, and then that look caused doubts, doubts,
Lin Wenyuan faced such a gaze, and couldn't help but stare at the reddened eyes in a hurry: "Your Highness, I have no grievances with the crown princess, why should I kill her?" Your Highness, don't believe such bad words! β
"Lin Shangshu, the crown princess was poisoned at your family's banquet, is it possible or someone else?" After the initial shock, Lin Yuanxin gradually stood up, almost coldly.
Qiao Siwan looked at Lin Yuanxin, and couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.
Lin Wenyuan stared at Lin Yuanxin, he didn't expect her to be so vicious, didn't she make it clear that she wanted to kill people with a knife and put herself to death? There is no need to think that this companion must have been done by Lin Yuanxin, because no matter how she responds, her only shortcomings have no effect: Zhou Zhijun is dead, so the host of the banquet is a big doubter - no matter what she says, Lin Yuanxin's teasing sentences can make people believe that this matter was done by herself. got rid of Zhou Zhijun and got rid of himself, killing two birds with one stone. Not only did he transfer Jiang Yan's liver fire to himself, but he also didn't worry about the Zhou family coming forward for Zhou Zhijun, which was really appalling!
He was about to argue, but he saw Jiang Yan turn his head suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he coldly burst out a few words: "Tie up!" β
Lin Wenyuan was still quibbling, a group of guards rushed over viciously, and before Lin Wenyuan could react, he was already tied up by Wuhuada. His whole body was trembling, and his expression turned iron-blue. Lin Zhiyu, who was standing beside him, suddenly turned white, and fell to his knees with a thud: "Your Highness, how dare my father kill the crown princess!" Your Highness! This must be someone doing something from it, please don't mistake the slander! β
Lin Yuanrou was also frightened, and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, please investigate this matter thoroughly-"
Among the guests present, there were also those who thought it was fresh, why did Lin Shangshu kill the crown princess? !
"Uncle," Qiao Siwan glanced at Lin Yuanxin, who was condensed next to her, "I didn't expect that you are really hard to change, and you really exercised the prince's kindness to kill him, and now it must be the wrong medicine that caused the princess to resist His Royal Highness's life, you are really too cruel, you are really a dog!" β
"You talk nonsense!" Lin Yuanrou was almost mad with anger, standing up and wanting to pounce on him, but was grabbed tightly.
"I didn't! I'm innocent! Your Highness! I'm innocent......" Lin Wenyuan's eyes widened, his fists clenched and he wanted to stand up, but he was pressed down by the guards!
Jiang Yan's eyes were like arrows, and he said in a fierce voice: "Lin Wenyuan, the crown princess can't die in vain, you have to fight with your life!" Come! Take him out! Take Lin Zhiyu with you! Handed over to the three divisions for review! When he said the last sentence, he was different from the voice in front of him, and his tone was unusually gentle and calm, but to the ear, it was particularly timid.
"No, not us. We don't dare. We are wronged! "No matter how Lin Zhiyu shouts grievances, how he kneels and begs for mercy is ineffective, Jiang Yan's mind is inevitable, so it is difficult to chase after him. In a matter of moments, the guards escorted the two away.
This scene happened very suddenly, and it ended so quickly that people almost didn't have time to react, and Lin Wenyuan and his son were escorted away. Lin Yuanrou's demeanor had a kind of madness that gradually fell into madness, which made her bright face appear a kind of poignant collapse, she looked at all this in disbelief, and said in a lost voice: "How can it be...... My eldest is half of the king of Shu......"
Jiang Yan's face sank like water, and he was already angry: "Such a chaotic minister and thief, how can he be the half son of Uncle Shu Wang!" As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Lin Yuanrou's body, Lin Yuanrou was shocked by such a terrifying gaze and fell half a step behind, and sure enough, he couldn't care about the aura of his wife, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Everyone's frightened or mocking eyes fell on Lin Yuanrou's body, but Qiao Siwan didn't look at her, but looked at Zhou Zhijun, who was pale and confused, at this time, the person who was supposed to be her husband didn't take care of her, just handed her over to the imperial doctor who arrived, and hurriedly took the guards to say goodbye.
Qiao Siwan knew what Jiang Yan was going to do, and took the county lord to the palace of the king of Shu to apologize.
The banquet was still joyful and pleasant, and in an instant, the people retreated cleanly, leaving only cups and plates.
Lin Yuanxin continued to stand silently, her eyes stayed on Lin Yuanrou, who was still sitting on the ground and no one was going to support her, there seemed to be a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes, such an emotion made Qiao Siwan think it was fresh, she thought that her cousin would do this, she must have already made up her mind. The two enemies she hated, the crown princess and Lin Wenyuan, ended in a ridiculous but hasty way, and they will soon disappear from this world.
"Wan'er, why didn't you discuss with me beforehand this time?" In the carriage, Lin Yuanxin, who was continuously quiet, suddenly whispered.
"Counsel?" Qiao Siwan was stunned.
"You should report me first, I don't even have a physiological plan." Lin Yuanxin said step by step, raising her eyes to look at Qiao Siwan.
Qiao Siwan was shocked, and a cold chill spread from the bottom of her heart: "Cousin, I thought it was you." β
At this moment, the surprise in Lin Yuanxin's eyes was far beyond Qiao Siwan, she was almost speechless, and after a long time, she muttered, "How come?" β
"Cousin, it's really not me." Qiao Siwan saw that her expression was abnormal, and she clearly stretched out her hand to hold her, only thinking that Lin Yuanxin's hands were extremely cold and damp with sweat, as if she had a serious illness, only the palms of her hands were warm.
Lin Yuanxin held her hand tightly, "Wan'er, you really didn't lie to me?!" β
Qiao Siwan shook her hand and said gently, "Cousin, have I ever told you a lie?" I was able to do it to the Sun family in the palace because of my mother's assistance, the truth difference in Shangshu Mansion, and how much Lin Wenyuan prevented us, even if he could arrange someone to get in, how could I get it so easily in the public? What's more, although he is vicious, Lin Zhiyu is innocent, what is my deep hatred for him, and I have to do it on his wedding day? This makes no sense! β
Lin Yuanxin saw Qiao Simei's solemnity, and became more and more puzzled in her heart: "It's not you, it's not me, who is it?" β
There was a moment of silence, and only the breathing of two people in the quiet carriage seemed to be a messy heartbeat.
Qiao Siwan let out a low breath, her mind couldn't help but question every guest who arrived. It's not right, there are naturally many people who have enmity with Lin Wenyuan, what about Zhou Zhijun? Could it be that the person who killed the crown princess was as angry as them were at Zhou Zhijun? Qiao Siwan thought it was very fresh, if it was not a battle of strengths, what was the reason why it was impossible to kill?
At this moment, she suddenly remembered what she had said to Jiang Yan, and suddenly remembered, but it seemed to be a key to open the mystery door.
In the vast mist, Qiao Siwan jumped over all the illusions and grabbed the cold light in the depths at once.
She spat out two words in a low voice, "Prince! β
(End of chapter)
Lin Yuanxin's slender eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and they were raised suddenly, "What did you say?" β
Qiao Siwan paused, and finally didn't speak, but said, "I mean, after so long, my cousin is still angry with the prince?" β
Lin Yuanxin's always cautious face showed a shallow trace of sorrow and disdain, "Are you angry?" I didn't think it was worth even being angry with him. During these days, I sat and watched the success or failure, so this person became more and more popular. Qiao Siwan listened quietly, and Lin Yuanxin said gradually, "This kind of man is not worthy of anyone's attention. As she spoke, she smiled lightly, and there was a cold sparseness floating in that smile, "For example, Zhou Zhijun, she worked hard to climb high, and finally fell into this situation, which really made the people's morale cold, but I still have something to ask for him, and I can't turn my face." β
Qiao Siwan smiled faintly, her plump lips were like fresh petals, and she had a slightly ridiculous smile, "He is indeed a very ruthless person." β
Lin Yuanxin was stunned, and it was difficult to hide the sadness in her tone, "In this life, a woman is obsessed with paying these four words wrongly, and I have really tasted it!" β
Crazy wrong payment! These four words pierced Qiao Siwan's heart almost like a needle, if in the past, she would definitely remember the stupid things she had done in her previous life, but now, the painful feeling has long disappeared, replaced by numbness.
"Cousinβ"
"You didn't persuade me, you just saw Zhou Zhijun's situation today to bring back the past, when I saw through him, I was also heartbroken and painful, and now, after being sad, I won't be sad. I just think that people like this are not worth it, and the rest is just sentimentality about the past. Lin Yuanxin's complexion calmed down, and she reached out to brush the hair around her ear, "From now on, you won't be easy to enter the Prince's Mansion, if I have something to say to you, you can make an appointment to meet at the side." The current Prince's Mansion is different from the past, no one dares to stop me, and I am not so steady. β
Knowing that her cousin was worried that the accident would happen again, Qiao Siwan's eyes flashed in an instant, and there was a faint bump in her voice: "Okay." β
"Let's go back and rest early, we have something else to do the next day." Lin Yuanxin patted her hands.
Qiao Siwan nodded, and went all the way back to Yanwang's Mansion, Jiang Chi hadn't returned yet, so she didn't mention this companionship to anyone, took off her coat as usual, and leaned on the couch to take a nap.
For a while, she was still asleep, and she listened to Hongyu calling softly beside the couch.
"Huh?" She was half-asleep and asked in a daze, "What's the matter?" β
"The crown princess is gone, ......" Hongyu was a little stunned, but the role of this Qiao Siwan instantly became clear.
"Oh......" Qiao Siwan stood up and bowed her head in a remote manner.
Hongyu combed her hair, and her demeanor was treacherous: "There is another matter, Mother Hu, the confidant next to the crown princess, is also dead......
"She?" Qiao Siwan paused slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, "Tell me more carefully." β
"said that she knew that the crown princess was gone, so she hit her head under the pillar and was martyred." Hongyu said, her hands were not idle, and she skillfully pulled a bun for her, "When I found out, I had already lost my breath." β
Qiao Siwan pulled her lips and sneered, where is it so easy to take sides, this matter is bound to not be so easy.
"Miss, the plain clothes are ready."
Qiao Siwan nodded, stood up and got dressed, and then went to the flower hall with the red jade store.
Just arrived at the flower hall, Concubine Dong and Sun Rouning were already there. This is the first time she has met Sun Rouning since the last time, and she has lost her old consciousness, but she is not very gentle, just faint, and she can't see her mood. Qiao Siwan didn't expect her to change overnight, so she didn't take it seriously.
Concubine Dong said: "The crown princess is gone, we should all go to mourn." She and Sun Rouning are also dressed in plain clothes.
Qiao Siwan nodded, and asked, "Does the palace know this information?" β
Concubine Dong's face was gloomy, and she said, "The information should be reported to the palace, but I don't know what Your Majesty has to say." After speaking, she glanced at Qiao Siwan.
Qiao Siwan asked this sentence because she knew that the palace got information one step earlier than the Yan Palace, and what she really wanted to know was the emperor's attitude, because of his attitude, he simply decided how to handle the funeral, what kind of etiquette, how many sacrifices to give, and so on.
