Chapter 67: Whose Abacus Will Fail (5)
Things are changing much faster than everyone thinks.
After receiving the news, Xia Rui was shocked, but also felt that the Queen Mother's move was not just for her grandson who died suddenly, perhaps...... She wants to pull Princess De even more to be the substitute for the dead in this matter!
Judging from the current situation, the things that need to be cleaned up in the Dewang Mansion were not cleaned up by Princess De before they were taken away, so it is very likely that the Queen Mother pushed everything on her head because she found those things in her bedroom.
Thinking of this, Xia Rui couldn't help but feel an incomparably headache.
This princess is really too unstable!
However, there is another point that makes Xia Rui feel incomprehensible. That's ...... The rumors that appeared inexplicably this morning about "there are filthy evil in the middle palace" happened suddenly, but the rumors spread as fast as the news of "the death of Jiang's mother and son", or even faster, which is hard not to make Xia Rui feel that it was arranged in advance by the people behind the scenes!
So, who killed the Jiang family?
If Princess De is completely innocent, is Mrs. Fengyang, who hurried into the palace early this morning, also innocent?
If they are all innocent, and the Queen Mother put Princess De in prison in such a hurry, and wants Princess De to be a substitute for the dead, is the Queen Mother innocent?
At this stall, Liu An stepped on a slightly flustered pace, entered the inner hall, knelt on the ground and said to Xia Rui:
"Your Majesty, the minions have already found out......"
Xia Rui retracted his thoughts, raised his eyes and looked straight at Liu An, and asked in a deep voice:
"Where did the rumors come from this morning?"
Liu An replied: "If you go back to the emperor, it came from outside the palace to the palace!" ”
"Outside the palace?" This answer made Xia Rui feel that this series of things was even more weird, he trembled his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Liu An, when did you become so perfunctory?" ”
When Liu An heard this, he couldn't stop shaking, he wiped the fine sweat on his sideburns, settled down, and said:
"The emperor is clear, the errand that the emperor gave to the minions, the minions never dare to slack off, not to mention such a big thing, the minions will never dare to perfunctory the emperor!"
"Then what are you going to do next, do you want to tell me that this so-called 'outside the palace' is actually the Dewang Mansion, and the rumors originally came out of the Dewang Mansion?!"
When Liu An heard this, he was about to cry. Because, the news he received was like this, but now that he was given ten more dares, he didn't dare to come out as it was.
He raised his hand again to wipe the beads of sweat from his sideburns, swallowed his saliva, and then replied:
"Your Majesty, the source of this rumor, the slave also feels very strange, this is not the son of King De, King De must be sad when he hears the news, now, the whole palace of King De is busy with the affairs of the Jiang family and the child, where is there time for these gossip? Unless it's ......"
"Unless it's what?" Xia Rui suddenly interrupted Liu An's words and stared at Liu An.
Seeing this, Liu An broke out in a cold sweat again, what he said just now was, of course, just his personal guess, but he didn't expect that he would think in the wrong direction this time.
At this critical moment, his blank eyes subconsciously looked at Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao hurriedly picked up the pastry beside him, and motioned Liu An to go in the direction of Gao's house.
"Unless the Jiang clan went out of the Middle Palace yesterday and saw someone who shouldn't have been seen, if they shouldn't have been, there will be such rumors!"
When Xia Rui heard this, his face really softened a lot.
Seeing this, Liu An also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but secretly praise Yun Xiao's wisdom in his heart.
After a while, he heard Xia Rui say again:
"I also asked you to investigate this matter before, do you have eyebrows?"
Liu An hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, after the Jiang family left the middle palace yesterday, they went to Shou'an Palace with the Queen Mother, and the servants heard and learned that at that time, in Shou'an Palace, there were noble concubines and Song concubines. ”
"Concubine Song? Song's? ”
"Yes!"
When Xia Rui heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
On the other side, Yun Xiao made a silent gesture to Liu An, and then turned her eyes to look at Xia Rui, she knew that Xia Rui's expression was the "position" of the Song clan in the court.
However, Xia Rui was silent for a while, afraid that he couldn't remember who Concubine Song was.
So, Yun Xiao reminded: "The concubine has some images of this Song concubine!" ”
"Oh?" When Xia Rui heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yun Xiao, "Xiao'er, then you Song concubine!" ”
His face was cold and hard at Liu An, and he could get angry at any time, but once he became angry at Yun Xiao, even if he wanted to be angry, his tone would become extremely gentle.
Yun Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "Concubine Song, whose name is Song Qianyi, is one of the four newcomers sent into the harem by the Queen Mother last time, she is not eye-catching among the four newcomers, every time she comes to the middle palace to ask for peace, it is always Concubine Li and the noble concubine who say the most, Concubine Du and Concubine Wen often echo, only Concubine Song never answers, always Wenwen quietly, even if she laughs, she will not be loud, just like her name, very shallow and shallow." ”
At this point, Yun Xiao paused, and then continued,
"But...... As far as the concubines know, Concubine Wen and Concubine Du's flattery of the noble concubine is only superficial, and the person who is really close to the noble concubine is actually Concubine Song! Moreover, King De's concubine Jiang was originally from the mother family of Song Concubine! ”
In this way, it is not difficult to explain why Concubine Song appeared in Shou'an Palace yesterday.
After Xia Rui listened to Yun Xiao's words, his face couldn't help but change again and again.
Yun Xiao's few words almost overturned all his judgments just now, he thought, he already knew who killed the Jiang family.
So, he immediately stood up and instructed Liu An: "Liu An, you immediately take someone to Dali Temple now, try to drag the trial of Princess De by the Queen Mother's subordinates, and you must find a way to imply that Princess De is innocent and doesn't know anything, this is one thing; Second, Zhang Kai (the inner servant of the Chengqian Palace) is now outside, you ask him to go out of the palace immediately to pass the decree to the right prime minister, and hand over the case of Jiang Liangdi's violent death to the right prime minister, remember, you must intercept all the physical evidence involved in this case before the queen mother and the prime minister Gao! ”
"Yes, the minion will do it!"
Liu An replied and quickly retreated.
Yun Xiao looked at Liu An's departing back, and couldn't help but lift his heart.
Yun Xiao stood up and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, did you think of something?" Is this matter already very serious? ”
