Chapter 217: The Flag Dies
"I didn't expect Duan Xiaolang to be a meticulous work of the Shura Sect, so I said that something was wrong with him."
After Qin Huai came back, he made the incident in Dali Temple clear, and now that Gu Baixiu is gone, Qin Huai has no one to talk to, so he can only tell Mingyue Caixia about this matter and let them help analyze and analyze.
Mingyue saw Qin Huai's sad face, so she asked people to serve the marigold that Pu Chenming had given before. Once upon a time, when the princess was unhappy, it would be good to get drunk.
"Actually, Duan Xiaolang didn't do that vicious thing, I think he finally stopped, because he retained a piece of sincerity to the female official."
Caixia's eyes turned red when she heard it, and she seemed to be moved by Duan Xiaolang's infatuation with the female officer. But this made Mingyue disdainful.
"What's the use of sincerity, there is no way to love each other if you are in different camps. Besides, the female official already has Pu Chenming's son, and they are a match made in heaven! ”
Looking at the marigolds in the glass jar, Mingyue talked about the most popular story in Xunyang City today.
"Then do you think the female official really likes Pu Gongzi?"
Looking at her with a look of envy, Caixia asked this, and Mingyue really hesitated.
Mu Guanqing and Pu Chenming are not ordinary people, and they can't bring the love of ordinary people into the relationship between the two of them.
One is the first female official of Tianyu, and the other is the owner of a famous business in the world, everyone praises them for being worthy of the throne, but no one has ever cared whether the two of them really love each other or not.
At least from Qin Huai's point of view, Pu Chenming really favors Mu Guanqing, so what about Mu Guanqing, does he just want to use him to survive the crisis?
"Is the princess feeling sorry for Duan Xiaolang?"
The two of them have been talking about this topic all along, but after the princess finished speaking, she just stared at the phoenix flowers in the yard in a daze, and the whole person looked out of state.
"One thing, after all, it's someone who's known each other for three or four years, and it's a little unacceptable to suddenly know his true identity."
I don't know when the taste of calendula has become so bitter, Qin Huai shook his cup, holding his head to recall their first encounter.
It turned out that every time she thought that fate and progress she thought were just Duan Xiaolang's use.
From beginning to end, for Duan Xiaolang, he was just a chess piece in the game.
"Is it because the person he likes has always been a female official?"
Although Caixia felt that this question should not be, she still couldn't help it.
To be honest, she had such psychological preparation before, but when she really heard Duan Xiaolang say it in person, she was still surprised, especially when he said it so sincerely, and he was very affectionate between the lines.
"I really didn't expect it when I found out about this, and since I came back from Yunzhou, my obsession with him has not been so deep. In my heart, I only regard him as a person I once liked, a person who was once out of reach. When I suddenly heard about such a thing, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. ”
Qin Huai didn't blame Mu Guanqing for this incident, because she knew that she couldn't control liking someone, and she was an excellent woman like her.
She is a hero praised by everyone in the mouth of the people of Tianyu, an unshakable powerhouse on the list of impermanent chess skills, and a pioneer admired by all the talented scholars in the world.
Isn't it common to get the admiration of everyone?
"No matter what, it can't change the fact that Duan Xiaolang is an assassin of the Shura Gate. To say that the most pitiful should be Yulan-kun, in vain he is infatuated with the princess, he wanted the princess to avoid this incident, or he didn't expect to even take his own life into it. ”
Yes, the most regrettable thing should be Ruobai.
Losing two friends in a row that she considered close to her was the most unacceptable thing for Qin Huai.
Ruobai's mind before, she didn't understand, but she didn't want to tell the truth to make him sad. In Qin Huai's heart, he regarded Ruobai as a real friend, a friend closer to Duan Xiaolang, Qin Huai never minded his identity and liked to talk to him.
He even planned to wait for him to stay in Wenren Yixiao Pavilion any longer, and then pick him up as a guest in the mansion to see the beautiful scenery of this Tianyu together, or give him enough gold and silver to let him travel through the mountains and rivers and do something he wanted.
But, it's too late.
Qin Huai didn't dare to think about how she would face Zhu Qingchi again in the future, and what would mean to her in the future.
There is no longer a second Duan Xiaolang who ignores her, and there will be no second Yulanjun who treats her sincerely.
"The deceased is gone, the princess should let herself go, and don't hurt her body for those who have passed away. In this case, how can you make Yulan-kun feel at ease? ”
Qin Huai was still frowning, and Caixia had no choice but to put away her emotions and try to comfort him.
"Yes, princess, didn't Duan Xiaolang say it, the female officer will encounter even more trouble in the future, we should be vigilant and not let anyone hurt Tianyu!"
This reminded Mingyue that the most important person in Mingyue's heart suddenly changed from Qin Huai to Pu Chenming and Mu Guanqing, and no one could destroy the marriage between these two, let alone hurt either party.
Speaking of which, Qin Huai still has something unclear.
"They said that Duan Xiaolang was the deepest buried chess piece of the Shura Sect, and since he had been caught, it was according to Mu Guanqing's methods. The Shuramin should have survived and won't have another chance. ”
In that case, why did Duan Xiaolang let himself protect Mu Guanqing?
Since when has Tianyu been attacked like this?
"By the way, princess, since you have captured the head of this Shura Killer, I didn't ask you what the origin of the poison was."
Just now, they only cared about analyzing Duan Xiaolang, but they forgot to ask about Qin Huai's poisoning.
It was really because Qin Huai didn't show the slightest sign of poisoning, so everyone forgot about it.
"Mu Guanqing had already asked before I left, it was the poison brought out by Jiang Hu's private actions. Duan Xiaolang had been away from the Shura Sect for too long, and he hadn't heard of it, so he didn't know where this poison came from. ”
In fact, Mu Guanqing also asked her three times about this question, and asked the people captured by the Royal Annex, Duan Xiaolang and Jiang Hu himself, which really didn't look like lying.
"Could this be Jiang Hu's trick? Deliberately speaking out to deceive us, in fact, it is not a poison at all, just to intimidate us into being at her mercy? ”
Mingyue thought about it, it's best if it's okay.
"I can't rule out the possibility of this, after all, I heard that this medicine is very difficult to develop, and Shuramin has not continued to try since the failure of that drug test. But when the mother was there, it was the same symptom. The rest will not be known until Mu Guanqing invites the doctor who used to treat the concubine. Otherwise, I have to let Gu Baixiu come back......"
Of course, Qin Huai also hoped that he was not poisoned, after all, they all understood the power of this poison, and if there was any change in him, it would not only affect his future life, but also affect Tianyu.
"Princess, you'll be fine."
I hope so.
It didn't take long for a woman from outside to come to report, saying that it had already been in Dali Temple, and there was already a result.
"News came from outside the princess, the results of the female official's trial have been released, and three days later, Duan Xiaolang was beheaded for public display."
Beheading?
Was it decided so quickly?
"There's no room for manoeuvre?"
Qin Huai knocked over the glass cup in his hand, it was only an hour, was it too hasty.
"The female officer has ordered someone to post a notice, and I don't think there is any room for maneuver."
The maid shook her head, shattering Qin Huai's illusion.
Yes, what Mu Guanqing decided, how could there be any room for change.
Duan Xiaolang is the assassin of the Shura Sect, why should she feel worthless for such a person?
"Why should the princess worry about this kind of person, he is the assassin of the Shura Sect, the Shura Sect has killed so many people of our Tianyu, we must not let go of such a meticulous work, we must set an example."
Mingyue also stood up, took Qin Huai's hand, and persuaded her not to worry.
"But he obviously has repented, and it would be a good thing if he could be used by Tianyu."
Didn't you say that Duan Xiaolang was the deepest buried chess piece of Shuramen? In that case, he must have known many secrets about the Shuramins, and it might be useful to keep them.
yes, maybe it's a turning point too?
Mingyue knew that the princess couldn't bear it, but she couldn't be ruthless in such a thing.
"This is not necessarily, maybe it is just some means? The female official's decision has always been the best, and she knows how to deal with Tianyu's future. ”
Yes, no one understands government politics better than Mu Guanqing, and no one is more decisive than her.
How could she intervene?
"Shall we see off the princess after those three days?"
Caixia knew Qin Huai's thoughts, so she also opened this mouth for her.
"You don't have to see you off. It's not so much a send-off, it's better to go and see for Ruobai, the murderer who killed him has finally been punished. ”
Pick up the bell sachet at hand, this is the last thing Ruobai left her, she will always have it with her.
In fact, there are times when Qin Huai really wants to learn from Mu Guanqing.
Anyway, this is also a man who loves her deeply. Even if he is sorry for the people of the world, the people of Tianyu, and the sect...... I'm even more sorry for myself.
But the only person he got right was Mu Guanqing.
He had a chance to escape, but he didn't choose to leave here, but chose to confess and be lenient and tell Mu Guanqing everything about himself.
Such a true expression was exchanged for the strictness of Tianyu's law.
No wonder it is said that the female official is Tianyu's face, she will never allow herself to make a slight mistake, and she will never allow herself to fall from that position.
The branches of the phoenix flower suddenly swayed with the wind, layer after layer, and the orange-red petals that floated down covered the courtyard of the princess's mansion.
A white-clothed figure suddenly fell from the sky and stood under a tree.
The jade flute is pinned behind him, and the green silk is scattered behind his shoulders, smiling, just like seeing it for the first time.
