Chapter 695: Infighting
Qi Mo left in a hurry and came back faster, Jiang Juan only drank half of the tea, and the person came back.
And the face is not very good.
Jiang Juan was stunned as she bit the red bean cake, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”
Qi Moyuan sat down and didn't say a word.
He had just walked to the second gate when he met Uncle Wei, who had entered the inner courtyard to deliver something to the princess on the order of the prince.
Walking towards him, the patterns on Uncle Wei's clothes were unobstructed.
But even so, Qi Moyuan couldn't believe that Uncle Wei was a spy and an old lady's person.
Not only Qi Moyuan, but in fact, Jiang Juan is also unpredictable.
The prince has no defense against Uncle Wei, if the old lady wants to use Uncle Wei to kill the prince, the trees on the prince's grave should be flourishing, and the old lady still doesn't know about her medical skills...... But the embroidery pattern told her that it was no such coincidence.
Jiang Juan said cautiously, "Before we are sure that Uncle Wei is the old lady, it is better not to startle the snake." ”
There are many secret guards in the prince's study, but no one dares to guarantee that those secret guards are loyal to the prince, what if there are only those who are loyal to Uncle Wei?
If Uncle Wei really participated in the assassination of the prince, it would be a capital crime.
It is difficult to guarantee that Uncle Wei will not take risks to save his life.
Jiang Juan thought of this, Qi Moyuan also thought of it, and confirmed that Jiang Juan didn't look dazzled, so he didn't go to the prince, but came back directly.
This is a matter that needs to be considered in the long term.
Qi Mo said from afar, "I remember that Bai Jingxuan has a maid who is very familiar with that maid?" ”
Jin Er hurriedly said, "It's autumn evening, and the slave maid went to call her." ”
After a while, Qiu Xi was called.
Suddenly called into the house, Qiu Xi was a little frightened, afraid that a disaster would befall her.
was brought to Bai Jingxuan from the garden, she has always followed the rules, she is cautious, and she can even say less words, she shouldn't have done anything, right?
Qiu Xi looked worried, Jiang Juan looked at her, and said, "Haven't you chatted with Hongzhu recently?" ”
Qiu Xi was stunned and shook her head, "No." ”
There is a huge Jing'an Palace, who doesn't know that the old lady doesn't like the princess, she is a little maid in the garden, nothing to chat with Hongzhu, it's not a big deal, but she is now the maid of the princess, how can Hongzhu take care of her?
She didn't dare to go to Hongzhu to chat.
It's just that I don't understand why the princess suddenly asked her about this, Qiu Xi looked at Jiang Juan cautiously, and Jiang Juan said, "Tell me about Hongzhu's maid." ”
Qiu Xi felt strange, but she didn't dare to ask, so she just said, "The slave doesn't know much...... ”
"Say as much as you know," Jin said.
Qiu Xi said, "Hongzhu's identity in Songlingtang is a bit special, her mother was originally the eldest maid next to the old lady, and was later accepted by Chen's mother as a goddaughter, with Chen's mother to protect her, even if Hongzhu is just a second-class little maid, her status in Songlingtang is not even comparable to that of the big girl." ”
And this stubble......
Qiu Xi didn't say that she really didn't know.
It's no wonder that Jiang Juan doesn't know, she has never cared much about Song Lingtang, and she is reluctant to even go to the old lady to say good morning, how can she take one or two little maids to heart?
"How did Hongzhu's mother die?" Jiang Juan asked.
Qiu Xi said, "I heard Hongzhu say that she died of illness, the illness was very sudden, Chen's mother asked her for a doctor overnight, and even begged the old lady to ask her for a doctor, but unfortunately Fu Bo died of illness when Hongzhu was seven years old." ”
It's surprising enough to ask for a doctor for a maid overnight, and she actually hired a doctor for her......
This is very intriguing.
Jiang Juan continued, "What else do you know? ”
Qiu Xi racked her brains and poured out everything she knew, "Because Hongzhu won Chen's mother's favor, even the old lady was smiling when she saw her, and the maid of Songlingtang was jealous, once, Hongzhu broke the porcelain bottle that the old lady liked, and the big girl felt that Hongzhu was going to die, and slapped her, but the old lady not only punished Hongzhu, but also demoted the adult's big girl to the ...... Zhuangzi. ”
"When did this happen?" Jiang Juan asked.
Qiu Xi thought for a while and said, "It's been two years, and that day happened to be Hongzhu's birthday. ”
Red beads are fifteen this year.
Two years ago, I was thirteen years old.
With the old lady's stinky temper, the maid broke the porcelain bottle she liked, and she didn't break the skin and flesh of people, but she didn't punish Hongzhu, but also punished her own big girl?
How can a little maid be so valued by the old lady?
Jiang Juan felt that he was inseparable from Uncle Wei.
Could it be that Hongzhu is Uncle Wei's daughter?
If you have nothing to do, you just run outside Tianxiang Courtyard, don't you want to take a look at your own father?
Jiang Juan felt that his guess was reasonable, but the guess was just a guess, and it still needs to be verified, and this verification is not ordinarily difficult.
She can't do it again, waiting for the maid named Hongzhu to leave the house and hold her hostage, right?
Jiang Juan hasn't thought of a good way here, and something happened to the criminal department over there.
In the dead of night, the criminal department was drenched in flames.
Generally, the fire in the criminal department is mostly in the file room or the prison of the criminal department, but this time it was the morgue that caught fire.
The body of Hou Shizi of Bac Ninh was surrounded by fire, and by the time the Ministry of Punishment put out the fire, the body had been burned to char.
When this matter reached Jiang Juan's ears, Jiang Juan was a little stunned, and he couldn't guess who did it at all.
It's not that no one is suspicious, it's that there are too many people who are suspicious.
The first one is the prince.
If you don't do the autopsy of Hou Shizi in Beining, you won't be able to confirm the evidence of Qi Moming's murder, and the body of Hou Shizi in Beining will be destroyed, and this case will become an unsolved case, and the murderer Qi Moming and the huge young master will choose one of the two.
The criminal department can't cut both of them in order to close the case.
can only be locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, or exiled together, and then return to Beijing after the imperial court amnesties the world.
The second is the Protector of the Kingdom.
Although it was his nephew who was killed, in order to exonerate Qi Moming, the Protector did not hesitate to drag the innocent huge young master in.
The enmity of the nephew is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the protector, let alone just a shell.
Only by destroying it can we help Qi Moming.
Compared with the prince and the protector, the second master and the old lady can't burn the criminal department with their little means, but they are the least suspicious.
But the prince and the protector, who is the most suspicious.
Half and half of it.
In the trees outside the house, Iron Eagle heard a long whistle, and as soon as his ears moved, his body flashed, and he disappeared from Iron Wind.
Nan Yuxuan passed on him, and he was in a hurry.
Iron Eagle didn't say hello when he left, but he came back quickly.
Knock on the window, get permission and go inside.
He took a token in his hand and presented it to Jiang Juan and Qi Mo from afar.
The word protection on the token is bright.
"This is the token of the Protectorate?" Jiang Wan said.
Tie Ying didn't know whether to shake his head or nod, he said, "Nan Yuxuan has brothers who are staring at the people left behind by King Cheng, and those people acted last night, burned down the morgue of the Punishment Department, and left this token ...... by the window outside the morgue. ”
"I don't know what the Queen Mother wants, so I picked up this token and handed it to the big treasurer."
The big shopkeeper is also unpredictable, why did the queen mother destroy the body of the prince of Beining, just destroy it, and also planted it to the protector, thinking that this matter is not trivial, so he asked the secret guard to send it to Tie Ying.
At the beginning, Tie Ying was brought into the palace by Tie Feng, how could Nan Yuxuan's people enter casually, and they were stopped.
Iron Eagle can only be called out with a whistle.
Jiang Juan looked at the token, and then looked at Qi Moyuan, "The Queen Mother and the Protector are in the nest?" ”
Qi Moyuan looked at Jiang Xuan, "Is Qi Moming worthy of the Queen Mother's rebellion for him and the protector?" ”
Jiang Xuan, "....... ”
Kim stood aside and grunted quietly.
Jiang Juan listened for a moment and said, "What did you just say?" Say it again. ”
The voice was a little loud, which startled Jin'er a lot.
"I, I didn't say anything," Jin Er was stunned.
"What did you just mutter?" Jiang Wan said.
Jin Er thought for a while, and muttered again in a low voice, "Of course it's not worth it, the second young master is not the queen mother's own grandson." ”
Jiang Wan looked at Qi Moyuan.
The corners of Qi Moyuan's eyes twitched, and he could see through Jiang Xuan's thoughts at a glance, this woman always likes to guess that others are not her father, now it's time to guess if it's not her son?
This is to put grass on the head of my father.
Qi Moyuan held his forehead, "What are you guessing, when Concubine Mei married her father, King Cheng was already dead." ”
Jiang Juan silently withdrew his eyes, and then a new question popped up, "Do you know how King Cheng died?" ”
God is pitiful, she just asked curiously.
only knew that King Cheng died violently, which gave the emperor the opportunity to ascend the throne, but how King Cheng died, no one knows.
However, when she asked, Qi Moyuan was in a trance.
You can't really ask their masters and servants to guess correctly, right?
Qi Moyuan and Jiang Xuan, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't speak for a long time.
Tie Ying stood there, wanting to go back to the tree to stay, but before the matter was finished, he couldn't help but say loudly, "Nan Yuxuan's brother also asked me to bring a message to the princess, the female assassin who was captured wants to see you." ”
"See me?" Jiang Wan smiled angrily.
It wasn't enough to kill her, and he was arrested and asked to see her.
Who gave her the courage to make such a request?
Nan Yuxuan also helped spread the word.
Tie Ying said, "The female assassin said that if the princess wants to solve the Gu poison in the body of the princess, she will go to Nanyuxuan to see her. ”
