Chapter 224: A Life, For You (22)
Choosing between dead and alive can be imagined.
Zhao Ruzhen was demoted to a cheap concubine, and the resentment in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
"By the way, in three days, the house will hold a confession banquet for me, if something goes wrong then, don't blame me for making the ugly things you did public."
Putting down such a sentence, Qiao Shi left directly, without looking at Xiang Sheng's face at all.
What does his mood have to do with her.
……
"Mother, Mother......"
Xiang Jing excitedly rushed into the dilapidated room, where a woman was quietly sewing clothes.
The woman was dressed in simple clothes, there was no bead on her head, and her face had already left traces of time, but she could still see the elegance and beauty of the past.
Seeing Xiang Jing rushing in in a hurry, the woman thought something had happened and stood up worriedly.
"What's wrong? They are making it difficult for you again."
Ming Nianyue held Xiang Jing's hands, and her eyes welled up with distress.
Xiang Jing shook her head with a smile.
"Mother, I am not your daughter."
"Jing'er, you have always been my daughter, no matter what happens in the future."
Ming Nianyue looked at Xiang Jing firmly.
Xiang Jing felt a little more comforted in his heart, and then informed Ming Nianyue of what happened in the front hall.
"Mother, your real daughter has come back to you, and now she is now named Mrs. Yipinhui by the emperor and others, and her father doesn't dare to mess with her."
Speaking of this, Xiang Jing's eyes showed envy and excitement, as well as inexplicable pride.
Just thinking of something, the emotions on Xiang Jing's face gradually converged again.
She is not a mother's child, so who is she? Can this house still accommodate her?
"Yes...... Are you sure? ”
Ming Nianyue didn't notice Xiang Jing's emotions at all, she only felt that everything was too incredible, as if she was still in a dream.
Her real daughter was replaced at birth, and she didn't have to think about it to know who it was.
"What about Zhao Ruzhen? How is she? ”
"My daughter doesn't know very well, she only heard such a little news."
"That'...... Where is she? ”
"It seems to be gone."
Xiang Jing felt a little sorry for her mother.
Does this mean that Mrs. Hui actually complained about her mother, so she left without taking a look.
"Mrs. Hui should have something to do, after all, I had an unpleasant quarrel with my father today, and I was afraid that my father would misunderstand something, and my daughter heard that Mrs. Zhao died in the front hall."
Xiang Jing softly comforted.
Ming Nianyue patted Xiang Jing's hand, but her mood was still restless.
What happened in the front hall, why did even Mrs. Zhao die.
She...... Will it be okay?
A few days ago, I just laughed when I heard the news of Mrs. Hui, but now I unconsciously want to pay attention to it.
So she's her daughter? It's her daughter!
……
Qiao Shi spent almost all of his time on alchemy, and sometimes tried to integrate his vitality into it.
It's just that what she has is the element of water, and there is no way to use the vitality to directly refine the pill, not only the effect is greatly reduced, but the refined pill is difficult to form.
However, those warm pills are not serious pills, at most it is more appropriate to say that they are pills, and they are much simpler than the refining of pills.
The day will soon come to the day of recognizing relatives, because I am worried about the emperor's blame, so there is no moth on the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything is in order.
The emperor was worried that she didn't understand some rules, and specially rewarded two grandmothers in the palace to come and wait.
In this regard, Qiao Shi just sighed twice in his heart and accepted it all.
Since the emperor intervenes by her side, then intervene, she doesn't care.
It's just that the night before the confession, Joe Shi was assassinated.
More than a dozen killers rushed directly into the mansion, as if they were completely dead.
"Look for death!"
Qiao Shi's face was cold, and at this time, a hidden figure quickly approached.
Qiao Shi shook his head imperceptibly, the man hesitated for a moment and left quickly, while Qiao Shi quickly hid in a room.
The dozen killers also rushed in.
The next moment, the people outside the room saw that the windows and doors of the room were closed in an instant, and there was only deathly silence in the room.
After about half an hour, the door of the room was opened, and Qiao Shi walked out of it expressionlessly, those killers ......
There is no trace of it.
"Dispose of the corpse inside."
Qiao Shi instructed the people in the house and went to the study alone.
The people who stayed behind walked into the room tremblingly, but they only felt chills all over their bodies, as if they were soaked in ice.
I saw that there was only one corpse left in the room.
The corpses were well preserved one by one, without any wounds.
But they died so strangely, as if they were drowning people, and the death was very horrifying.
……
When he returned to the study, Joe had a token in his hand.
The person to whom the token points is none other than the Three Princes.
Needless to say, there must be the handwriting of the second prince among them.
Although Xiang Sheng supports the second prince, and Qiao Shi is Xiang Sheng's daughter, but Qiao Shi is different from Xiang Sheng, for Qiao Shi's change, the second prince will naturally not take risks, and the sooner he gets rid of it, the better.
I'm afraid that there is also Concubine Chen's encouragement, the third prince is just a cover-up, if you can get rid of Qiao Shi, it is the best, if you can't get rid of it, you can also blame the third prince.
"It's okay."
Just when Qiao Shi was thinking about things, the window was quietly opened, and Ning Ze quietly appeared in the study.
"It's fine."
Although some means were used to deal with those people, it was relatively easy, and the water trails sealed the mouths and noses of those people, and if they didn't die, they would wait until the end to mend the knife.
"Whose man do you think?"
There are only a few people in the capital who want to kill her.
After all, she has just come to the capital, and she hasn't offended so many people.
"Whoa."
Qiao Shi threw the sign on the desk, although it was relatively ordinary, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was the token used by the three princes.
"The third man?"
Ning Ze picked up the token and looked at it carefully, but he didn't believe it very much.
No matter how stupid the third child is, he will not put such things on these dead soldiers.
It's obvious that it's framed, but the means don't seem to be very clever.
"Originally, I was suspicious of the second prince, but now, ......?"
"Concubine Chen is more likely."
"Oh? How so? ”
Ning Ze's first thought was also the second child, but he didn't understand why Qiao Shi was suspicious of Concubine Chen, was it just the contradiction last time?
"Intuition."
Qiao Shi said these two words with a serious appearance, which made Ning Ze really speechless.
"Sometimes intuition is indeed accurate, do you think the second prince is the one who would do such a thing?"
Qiao Shi pointed to the instruction card.
The second prince has always been a very cautious person, and even if he wants to kill two birds with one stone, he will not choose to put such an obvious token to frame the third prince.
And the third prince also has the dark chess set up by the second prince, it is of great use to keep it, this time the framing is not light or heavy, before the dark chess is useless, the second prince is reluctant to startle the snake.
This second prince likes to hit with one blow the most, so the killer sent this time is likely to be Concubine Chen's person, and the second prince doesn't know it.
