Chapter 44: A Threat from the Princess
CHAPTER XLIV
"What, did something happen?"
"In that case, I would have investigated him a long time ago."
Jiang Yixiu accompanied her to say a few more words, and then went back, and told her to take care of herself.
Chu Jiao looked at the small skylight on that side, and had an indescribable feeling in her heart, since she came in, Qin Shao had not contacted her, although she had been protecting her on the spot, but...
Well, if my father knew about this, he would definitely find a way to let her out.
After waiting for news inside for two days, Chu Jiao was really tired, and then fell asleep on the straw.
She was awakened by a cacophony of noises, and the jailer was carrying a large food box in his hand.
"What the hell is going on?" Chu Jiao asked.
The jailer sneered as he watched her dust off the straw: "When is this going on, and you still have to pretend?" It's your meal today. β
After speaking, he threw the food box inside, turned his head and left.
Chu Jiao is used to this kind of villain, so she doesn't care very much, and opens the food box, there are two steamed buns in it, and there is nothing else.
She is usually used to eating other things, but now she eats so roughly, even if she is hungry in her stomach, she still has no appetite for these things.
I simply closed my eyes and waited until I was hungry and couldn't stand it anymore before eating.
She kept her eyes closed and squinted, and the mice in the cold and damp didn't care about that, they crawled out in twos and threes, looking for and eating these two steamed buns.
When Chu Jiao saw such a scene, she just smiled, she knew that it would be good to eat a few bites, but today's dinner is gone.
Who would have thought that the rats that had eaten just now would make a very painful squeak, and then fell to the ground after a few struggles.
After Chu Jiao noticed this, her eyes widened instantly, this is, someone wants her life.
Her back was cold, and she only felt sweaty, it was difficult for others to enter such a place, could it be that Luo Wenzhou was doing it?
She has the prince behind her, and her family, if he really did it, it would be too stupid, if she really died today, her father would definitely make the old thief pay the price with the strength of the whole family.
It seems that the things that will be sent in the future will not be edible, Chu Jiao sighed when she thought of this.
After another day, Chu Jiao was released by the jailers.
Qin Shao was waiting for Chu Jiao at the door When she saw Chu Jiao, she hadn't eaten or drunk for several days, her whole mental state was not good, and her face was very pale.
She had been breathing a sigh before, but when she saw Qin Shao at this moment, her mood relaxed, and her body fell softly all of a sudden.
He picked her up, only to feel a lot lighter.
A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he had to take someone back.
"Can't go, the matter hasn't been investigated yet, if you take it away now, it will only make people think that this matter is really what she did." Jiang Yixiu stopped Qin Shao's body.
Qin Shao's tone was not good: "Didn't you say that you would treat her well, you see her like this now, is this your promise?" β
Jiang Yixiu is also hard to argue, he has been busy investigating this matter for a while now, this matter is very serious, after all, it is a big temple matter, if it cannot be properly handled, I am afraid it will cause disgust and unhappiness among the people.
"I..." Jiang Yixiu wanted to speak but couldn't, so he could only let him go.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Jiao only felt as if she had a dream, she dreamed of Qin Shao, as soon as she opened her eyes, she didn't expect that it was Qin Shao in front of her.
"How's it going?" She struggled to get up, but Qin Shao pressed her body: "Don't get up, lie down well, you don't need to worry about other things." β
Red Sleeves came over with hot porridge at this time: "Let's drink the porridge first." β
Chu Jiao was helped up, and then Qin Shao took it over and fed Chu Jiao one bite at a time.
"I thought you forgot about me." Chu Jiao said.
"It's me who is bad, don't blame me." Qin Shao said.
Chu Jiao didn't speak, thinking that he must be busy these days.
"By the way, why did you get me out? Got everything investigated? β
Red Sleeves hurriedly said: "Besides, the prince entrusted you to Lord Jiang before, but I didn't expect to become like this when I saw you, and the prince directly brought you out." β
I'm afraid it's not such a simple person to bring people out of Dali Temple.
At this time, Xiuying hurried back, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.
"Lord Wang, meditate on the Fa!"
Only then did Chu Jiao know that Qin Shao and Jiang Yixiu were running around in the past few days, so she didn't have time to pay attention to her.
Thinking like this, she inexplicably felt that the porridge in her mouth was inexplicably sweet: "Thank you." β
"You have a good rest at home, and I'll take care of the rest of the matter." After saying that, he put down the porridge bowl and turned around with a smile on his face.
Chu Jiao rested for a few days, and her body felt much better, but she wanted to go and see Jingxin, the last time she saw this little novice, she felt quite good, and she didn't look like a bad person.
It's not the same to be in the heart of the prison again.
When he saw Meditation, he was already tied to the cross, his body was covered in blood, large and small, dripping from it, hanging his head, and he was not angry at all.
"Why did you kill Shitai?" Chu Jiao knew that he still had his own consciousness and could hear her clearly.
But Jing Xin didn't pay attention to Chu Jiao, Chu Jiao looked at the torture instrument next to her, and a spoon of chili water was splashed directly on Jing Xin's body.
He made a painful sound, like a wounded beast.
"If you don't say it, you won't be able to get out of here."
"I do things by myself, I do things by myself, I killed her!" He was agitated again, with tears in his eyes.
"How come you still have a conscience? How did you bear to do it, kill Shitai, and then blame me, and still don't repent afterwards? Mrs. Shi trusts you so much, but you kill her with your own hands, do you think she will be sad under Jiuquan? β
"Enough is enough, don't say it again!" Jing Xin spurted out a mouthful of blood directly, and then the whole person lost consciousness.
If it is a demon who kills people without blinking, how can he have remorse? Besides, she has no grudges with this monk at all.
On the way back to the palace, she had been thinking about this problem in her heart, but she couldn't figure it out, she hadn't harmed anyone, if she had offended someone, a figure suddenly flashed in her mind.
Just as she was returning to the palace with a heavy heart, she heard a burst of laughter like silver bells inside, and she inexplicably felt as if she had heard this voice somewhere.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Princess Qin Chen chatting with the concubine in the house, and after Aunt Ming saw Chu Jiao coming, she hurriedly stood up and greeted: "You are back, the princess said to come and see you." β
She didn't know the relationship between the two of them, so they all said with a smile.
"Well, if there's nothing to do, you can go down first." Chu Jiao said.
Aunt Ming felt that something was wrong, and the atmosphere between the two people was weird, so she hurriedly retreated.
Qin Chen's face was full of spring breeze: "I heard that my aunt went to prison some time ago, I don't know what it feels like?" I came here to see you today, if you have a broken arm and a broken leg, how can you follow the imperial uncle to serve! β
The sarcasm in her tone was obvious, and Chu Jiao only felt that her words made her pause.
"You did it." She affirmed.
The smile on Qin Chen's face became even thicker, and she approached Chu Jiao and said in her ear, "So what?" What can you do with me? Even if you have the evidence, what if you get my handle? I am the daughter of a saint, if something happens to me, do you think your home can still be good? β
When she spoke, she was very arrogant.
"You did the poisoning in my food."
Qin Chen raised her eyebrows and admitted, she paced slowly in the room, her fingers casually slid over those antique calligraphy and paintings and all the ornaments, and then sighed twice: "If I let me pick these things, will it look better aunt?" β
Chu Jiao's mood gradually calmed down, and then chuckled lightly and did not speak.
Qin Chen frowned, turned around and asked, "What are you laughing at?" β
"Childish."
"What did you say?"
"I said you are naΓ―ve, all you did was to let me get off the horse and not be the main room in the palace, but if I leave, you can live in as a princess? There's never a way to stand on his side to be true. Qin Chen's face was already very bad when she said this, but she still continued: "Besides, even if I really leave, the saint will still find a room for him, you can win against me, but you can't win against the woman in the world." β
"Clever tongue, as long as you leave, I can no longer target you in the future, if you insist on staying by her side, isn't your family afraid?"
She threatened.
"If the prime minister said that he could move, then my father would have been in vain for so many years." Chu Jiao said indifferently.
"If only you had died in a prison, then you wouldn't have the life to stand here and talk to me." Qin Chen suddenly sighed.
This kind of bright threat can't cause any psychological burden on Chu Jiao, she hasn't experienced anything in her previous life, but she is right about one thing, that is, her princess, the daughter of the saint, and the saint will not blame her.
"That's a shame."
Qin Chen snorted coldly: "This time is just a small lesson, Master Liu Chen is also considered to have died for you, you have to take advantage of the opportunity." β
After saying that, she walked out of the door, but out of nowhere, a foot came over, her foot was tripped and the whole person made a posture of eating, and the clothes on her body were also dirty.
Qin Chen's face was flushed when he stood up: "Chu Jiao! You! β
Chu Jiao looked innocent, it was impossible for her to stand far behind her.
