Chapter 222: Aftermath
Feng Jue's face turned white in an instant.
Shen Changxing was waiting in front.
"General, please...... Or does the general feel that he has not searched enough? ”
Shen Changxing had a strong threat in his eyes.
If Xie Juan was still in the Ping Wangfu, they couldn't say anything and couldn't throw Xie Juan down directly.
Feng Jue was thinking about what to say, when an exclamation suddenly sounded in the Ping Palace.
"It's the princess!"
Wang Ao reacted suddenly, his face sank, and he turned around and led people to run towards the place where the sound had just come from.
Xie Juan stood at the door, his face pale.
It was an abandoned firewood house, and more than a dozen people, including children, women, and little beggars dressed in tatters, hung from the beams. They hadn't been dead for long, and their faces were still full of horror.
Xie Juan recognized that these people were the people who had just asked her for help in the cage.
As soon as she left, Shen Changxing tortured and killed these people.
Her hands and feet trembled slightly.
You can't move your hands and feet.
If only she hadn't been thinking about Qingyang Dan at the time, but had rescued them first.
If she hadn't discovered this secret room today, wouldn't they have survived a few more days?
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Xie Xuan's mind, she stood at the door, and for a moment she just wanted to kill Shen Changxing.
The sound of stray footsteps came towards her.
"Princess......
Xie Juan turned his head and saw that they had already rushed over.
She pointed to the swaying corpses inside and said, "These people are what I told you just now, they are all in cages, and they just asked me for help. Shen Changxing also followed.
The torches illuminated the entire Pingwang Mansion very brightly, and the girl in front of them cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and every move was a captivating posture, which made people can't help but want to love.
Feng Jue lowered his eyes, deliberately avoiding Xie Xuan's eyes.
"So, please explain, what is going on with these people?"
Shen Changxing snorted and said, "It's just some domestic servants, who made mistakes, were worried about being punished, and committed suicide here, what's the matter, does the general even have to take care of the family affairs in this palace?" ”
Feng Jue said coldly: "Since the prince said that he is a domestic servant, then take out their deed of sale for us to see?" Also, whether these people committed suicide or not, I'm afraid that what the prince said doesn't count, and we won't know until we have done the test. ”
Shen Changxing said: "Even if these people are dead, they are also ghosts in this king's mansion!" The general took them out to try? ”
"Chain"
After Shen Changxing finished speaking, the guards around Feng Jue had already drawn out their long swords, and the people behind Shen Changxing also drew out their long swords.
The two sides confronted each other, and neither would let anyone take a step.
"Beacon! You said that you wanted to search the house, and this king agreed, and now you have run to the king's back house, don't deceive people too much! Do you really think that with Shen An here, this king will not dare to touch you? ”
Shen Changxing blew his beard and glared, his old face was full of ferocity.
When Xie Juan heard this voice, he slowly turned his head: "Shen Changxing, I'm going to kill you!" ”
After speaking, Xie Juan had already crashed out, and Feng Jue had no time to stop him.
Shen Changxing didn't think that Xie Juan would say do it, so he did it, and he didn't have time to react at all, so he only had time to raise his two hands.
The dagger slashed across Shen Changxing's arm, splashing out beads of blood.
Suddenly, many people were in front of Shen Changxing.
Blood was dripping on the ground, and Shen Changxing slowly raised his head, his eyes red.
"It's still too late for you to go."
Feng Jue didn't expect Xie Juan to suddenly make a move, and hurriedly stopped her.
"Princess, let's go first!"
Xie Juan seemed to be enchanted, and the whole person was frozen in place, with hatred in his eyes.
Feng Jue used force in his hand and slashed at Xie Xuan's stamina.
Xie Wan fell down softly.
Seeing this, several people used several ropes at the same time to tense up behind Xie Juan, and when Xie Juan fell, he was just lying on the rope.
Assassinating King Ping in King Ping's Mansion, Feng Jue knew that this matter had made a big deal today.
He raised his chin slightly, asking the people below to carry Xie Juan out, and when he looked at Shen Changxing, his tone softened.
"Today, we didn't get anything, and the princess didn't hurt you, so it's better to leave this matter at that, it's good for everyone, what does the prince think?"
Shen Changxing didn't expect that they would break into the inner house today, and what he thought was foolproof was just stirred up by Xie Juan.
These people are all beggars, or people who will not be found if they are dead, and his purpose in bringing these people in is not simple, how can he prepare a deed of sale for them superfluously, if this matter is known by people outside, it will also affect his reputation to some extent.
Shen Changxing hesitated, but nodded.
Feng Jue didn't say anything more, and led the people below and Xie Juan back to the Regent's Mansion.
Back in the courtyard, Feng Jue asked Xie Juan to send Xie Juan back to the courtyard, and sent someone to invite him overnight.
When Shen An woke up the next day, he felt better, and when he saw that the faces of the people around him were wrong, he asked out loud, "What's wrong?" Let the Beacon in. The battalion took a few steps back, and Shen An noticed that there was a person kneeling straight behind the screen.
Feng Jue knelt on the ground, saw Shen An wake up, and said loudly: "Last night, after the prince slept, the princess came to find her subordinates, and the subordinates knew that the princess went into the palace to find the emperor in order to vent her anger to the prince, and the two of them made an appointment, and the emperor was responsible for calling Shen Changxing to the palace, and the princess went to Pingwangfu to steal Qingyang Dan. ”
The more Shen An listened, the darker his face became.
"And then?"
"Then, the princess found a lot of corpses in the secret room of King Ping's mansion, and in addition, King Ping also arrested a lot of people."
Beacon will take what happened last night...... Tell Shen An.
"Last night, when my subordinates saw that the prince had already slept, they made a decision without authorization, but I didn't expect the princess to follow in and hurt Shen Changxing. The subordinates are not doing well, and they also ask the prince to punish them. ”
After listening, Shen An's face turned pale, and his voice did not have a trace of warmth.
"Go and call Wei Jing over, the princess, let them guard the camp."
Feng Jue lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Shen An's eyes.
"Since the princess came back last night, she has been suffering from a high fever, and Master Ran has gone over to help the princess see a doctor."
Shen An put his fist to his mouth, coughed for a long time, his face turned red, and the company camp stepped forward to smooth Shen An's weather.
Shen An drank a few sips of warm tea before he came to his senses.
"Lian Ying, you help the king over."
The company camp didn't say anything, and stepped forward to help Shen An.
The injuries on Shen An's body have not healed yet, but everyone is used to Shen An's habit of doing things, and generally no one can stop him from doing what he decides to do.
Walking to the door, Shen An seemed to remember that there was still a person named Fengjue, and said lightly without looking back: "You come over too." ”
Feng Jue instantly raised his head and said, "Wow! ”
When they arrived, they were seeing Xie Juan's illness, Xie Juan was not sleeping soundly, and when he heard a noise outside, he opened his eyes.
Her eyes were burning red, and when she saw Shen An coming in, she immediately picked up her upper body.
The human body is the problem.
"Why are you here?"
Ran also stood up: "Lord Wang." ”
Shen An walked towards Xie Xuan: "Lie down first." ”
Xie Juan was weak, but he still lay down obediently.
Shen An raised his chin and asked, "How is she?" ”
"The princess is fine, it's just that I caught a cold last night, and I suffered some flesh wounds, plus I didn't feel grateful yesterday, so I caught a cold, just take two pairs of medicines, but you ...... it."
Shen An's tone froze, and he asked, "Flesh wounds?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Feng Jue.
Xie Juan hurriedly said: "This is not a matter of importance, I was injured by a few Taoist priests when I went to Pingwangfu for the first time. ”
Shen An saw that Xie Juan had a muslin on his arm, and hummed softly.
"If Qingyang Dan is really as easy to steal as you think, will the first emperor still die at the hands of Shen Changxing?"
When Xie Juan heard this, he immediately became interested.
"Why, you've been in the Chamber of Secrets?"
Shen An didn't answer Xie Xuan's question, but just said: "Have a good rest, don't think about these things that you don't have, you can think of a way, this king and the previous emperor have already thought about it." ”
After speaking, Shen An didn't give Xie Juan a chance to ask questions at all, raised his chin, and led the others out.
Xie Juan was still thinking about what Shen An had just said, when there was a sound of a board hitting a person outside.
Xie Juan hurriedly called Ah Man over: "What's going on outside?"
Aman came in from the outside.
"The prince said that Wei Jing left the princess's side without authorization, and he didn't do what a guard should do."
Xie Juan sat up again, and the emotion of Shen An coming to see her just now had already disappeared, and she scolded and said, "Shen An is sick, right?" I broke Wei Jing apart, what's the matter with Wei Jing? ”
Ah Man hurriedly grabbed Xie Xuan.
"The princess is angry, the prince is deliberately calling you, besides, what happened last night is indeed too dangerous. If you go out now, you will lose the face of the prince. Although Wei Jing said that he was your guard, he obeyed the prince's orders after all. ”
Xie Juan was dizzy, and when he came together, he suddenly saw a flower in front of him, and lay down again.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care, Shen An is just unreasonable!" No humanity yet! ”
Seeing that Xie Juan didn't struggle anymore, Ah Man blasted her again: "Yes, yes, the princess said yes." If the princess wants to stand up for Wei Jing, she must also take care of her body first, and everyone in this courtyard is counting on you! ”
After a while, the sound outside stopped.
Silence returned to Xie Xuan's courtyard.
Xie Juan drank the medicine and fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up again, it was already noon.
She felt that her body had improved a lot, and got up to find Shen An.
East Garden.
Shen An, Ran, and Feng Jue are all there.
The room was serious, and the faces of several people were tense.
Xie Juan said: "What's wrong with you? ”
Ran said: "The poor monk thinks that this may be a breakthrough, the prince is in charge of the guards in the city, if he can find out how Shen Changxing brought these people to the secret room along this line, he may be able to find out more clues." ”
It turned out that they were still discussing what happened last night.
Shen An looked at Xie Xuan and understood.
"By the way, when I was in Hozhou before, wasn't there another person who survived, why didn't I see this person later?"
Xie Juan suddenly looked at Ran with a weak heart.
Shen An took Xie Xuan's reaction in his eyes: "Do you have something to hide from this king?" ”
He squinted his eyes and didn't speak.
The atmosphere in the room became heavier and heavier, and Xie Juan took the lead in saying: "Wasn't that person injured before, why did the prince suddenly remember to ask this person?" ”
Shen An took a deep breath and said, "He is the only one who has stayed with those little beggars who have been captured, and this king feels that he may know something. ”
Xie Juan looked at it aggrievedly.
Shen An said unceremoniously: "You see that the master is useless, if you don't say it, this king will just give the kitchen a holiday in the past two days." ”
"Don't, don't...... I say. ”
Xie Juan knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he chose to betray Qingyu decisively.
"But don't be too surprised, I forgot to tell you that Qing Yu is not human."
Shen An frowned, and there was no reaction on his face.
Xie Juan whistled loudly, and Qing Yu flew over and landed at the door.
Everyone's eyes fell on Qing Yu.
Qing Yu glanced at Xie Juan uneasily, and shouted twice, Xie Juan finally understood this sentence.
Qing Yu asked her to call him over Qian.
Xie Juan scratched his ears embarrassedly and said, "They want to ask you, that time in Haozhou, you were the only one who had contact with those little beggars who were arrested, do you know how they were arrested?" And how did you get caught in the first place? ”
