Chapter 106: Re-entering the Vortex
Early this morning, Qin Huai was discussing with the queen in a dream, and was suddenly woken up by Mingyue's vigorous shake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Caixia's face full of worry.
"What's the matter, my father invited me into the palace?"
She was a little puzzled, and even in a trance, she couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality at all.
Caixia held a warm water handkerchief in her hand and wiped Qin Huai's face first, such a comfortable water temperature made Qin Huai's whole person relax and gradually wake up.
But what Caixia said next made Qin Huai frightened.
"Princess, Xu Shilang's wife...... He's dead. ”
What?
Hearing the news, Qin Huai instantly sat up.
Gu Shi turned out to be dead.
"How did you die?"
Could it be that she can't stand Qin Huai's number yesterday, then she is inevitably too inferior.
"It looks like someone killed ......"
was killed, Xu Jiyuan suspected that he killed the Gu family?
Mingyue looked at the princess's six gods and no owner, and couldn't help but give priority, that Xu Shilang was not something to mess with, and the princess had some festivals in the past, and with Gu's death at this time, he would definitely not stop there.
Perhaps, Gu's death is inseparable from him.
"Xu Shilang has already brought someone from the government to the door at this time, I must give you an explanation, not the princess, you killed his second wife! There are a lot of people smashing the door, what can we do now! ”
"Stop him, stop him!"
Qin Huai's first reaction was to never let Xu Jiyuan rush in, this person was not very old and his temper was not younger than himself, and he even once made a clear proposal to burn himself to death in the song after he laughed and sang an ode, so as to make the people angry.
Such a person, Qin Huai only rewarded him twice in front of hundreds of officials when he was in the next dynasty, he will not hold a grudge to this day.
"Quick, go and invite the female officer!"
The first person Qin Huai could think of was Mu Guanqing, she had enough say in the court, and she was the best candidate to deal with Xu Jiyuan.
Caixia helped her up and pressed her in front of the dressing table to prevent things from changing.
"I've already gotten there, and I haven't come back yet."
At this hour, the female official should have just gone down to the court, as long as she heard the news, she would definitely rush to come, Qin Huai was also a lot relieved, and arranged.
"Give me a change of clothes first, I'll go to the front to take a look, that person is not a good thing, this is obviously a pretext, we didn't treat Gu at all, her death has nothing to do with us."
Qin Huai mainly suspected that the Gu family was not dead, but colluded with Xu Shilang and prepared to torture himself.
Halfway through the change of clothes, the little guy who went to inform Mu Guanqing fell in and crawled in.
"Princess! Female officer, she hasn't left the palace yet! ”
Caixia stepped forward for the first time and pulled the little guy and asked, "Didn't you leave the palace?" What do you mean? ”
The little maid had just slept and climbed in through the back wall, the front door and the back had been blocked, and the princess's mansion was already embattled.
"Today, Sister Qingchi went to pick up the female official to go down to the court, but the other officials have all returned, and only the female official is nowhere to be found! I heard the officials of Dali Temple say that it was because the maid in the palace of Concubine Dong disappeared mysteriously, and the female official was sent to investigate. ”
He tried his best to calm himself, but just now he had already seen the pig cage in the hands of Xu Shilang and others, which couldn't help but make people nervous and reverie.
"How could it be so coincidental? The female officer is not ...... at this juncture."
Mingyue circled around the house, even though the princess had been rude, she had never been involved in a murder, this was obviously someone who wanted to cause harm, and the female official was entangled in the matter at this time, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to come forward.
"Did you let Qingchi pass the message in?" Caixia was delicate and asked.
That little guy is not stupid, he has already told him several times, but he is afraid that Qingchi will not remember.
"I said it, but I don't know when it will be done."
Qin Huai didn't know why she was so nervous this time, if someone was killed or injured in the past, she would still be able to argue with the officials and her father, but now who else wants to listen to her explain a thing or two for herself.
Xu Jiyuan, Mu Guanqing told her not to provoke again, Qin Huai also thought that the matter had been revealed, who would have expected this time.
Thinking back to the beginning and end of the matter, if this was not the design of Xu Shilang and his wife, then there was someone else who was against her.
Who would bother to set up a game?
first sent his mother's relics to the second lady Xu Jiyuan, who had already had conflicts with him, and made it impossible for the Gu family to easily scatter their wealth, which made it more difficult for Qin Huai to find it, and then took her life after the Gu family had a conflict with himself.
In this way, everyone will doubt themselves.
"What about the Third Emperor Brother, help me find the Third Emperor Brother?"
It is estimated that the only one who can help himself at this time is the Third Emperor Brother.
Caixia shook her head, "Princess, today is the eighth day of the third month of March, have you forgotten that the third prince is going to the Guozijian to draw up the candidate for the principal." ”
That...... She was left alone to deal with it.
Caixia finished her last eyebrow, and the three of them fell silent, and then the door was gently pushed open, and the unknown wind rolled up the sleeves of the man in white.
"Princess, what do you need me to do?"
The man's voice was still so shocking, and it calmed Qin Huai down a bit.
That's right, she still has Gu Baixiu.
Even though there are thousands of people who are reluctant to meet with Xu Jiyuan, things are not done by her, and what should be explained always has to be explained.
"Bai Xiu, I didn't kill Xu Jiyuan's second lady, you also believe me, right?"
But she needed to seek a trace of comfort from Gu Baixiu for the first time.
Gu Baixiu smiled slightly and gently stroked Qin Huai's back, "Naturally, the princess will not kill." ”
With this sentence, she was relieved.
"Mingyue Caixia, since the female official and the three emperor brothers can't come, then let's try it ourselves. Xu Jiyuan is bent on putting me to death, and this time we must let him stop this thought. ”
Qin Huai grabbed Gu Baixiu's arm, Gu Baixiu's martial arts were world-famous, Liu Yanxin said that it would not be a problem for him to be one enemy and a hundred, if he could be reasonable, it would be good, if he couldn't...... Gu Baixiu also wanted to keep her princess's mansion safe and sound.
Mingyue Caixia followed Qin Huai to the gate, the sound of slamming the door continued, and the few little guys who blocked the door with all their strength were almost unable to hold on.
"Get out of the way, let me go and talk to Xu Jiyuan about it."
The little guys looked at each other, not daring to let Qin Huai risk their lives, but Caixia made a look before letting them get out of the way.
The door opened, and Xu Jiyuan's tiresome old face was in front of him, this person had a grim expression, but there was no sadness.
In addition to the soldiers of the Xu Mansion outside, there are also the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple, and there are many neighbors around, Xu Jiyuan is determined to take himself?
Seeing that Qin Huai finally appeared, Xu Jiyuan sneered and shouted in front of everyone: "Qin Huai, you are miserable, murderous, and dare to show up?" Give back my wife's life! ”
"Xu Shilang is making a big move today, doesn't he just want me to show up, you said that I killed your wife, but there is evidence!"
As he spoke, the family of the Xu Mansion brought Gu up with a straw mat, lifted the straw mat, and a foul smell hit.
Qin Huai couldn't see the blood, so he covered his eyes for the first time and didn't turn his head.
Stinks so quickly?
Caixia was bold and glanced at it, but saw that Gu was bleeding from the seven orifices, and his death was tragic, and the blood was still crimson, and a pair of eyes had not yet closed.
"Princess, the Gu family seems to have died of poisoning."
Caixia came to the conclusion that Gu Baixiu squatted down to examine the body, and Qin Huai also turned his back and asked the Si Zhi of Dali Temple.
"Dali Temple Si Zhike is here!"
This Si Zhi of Dali Temple is Mu Guanqing's subordinate, and he is also self-denying and dedicating himself to public service on weekdays, so he does not dare to act rashly.
"The minister is here."
Qin Huai covered his snort and asked loudly, "Did you do an autopsy, I am not familiar with the Gu family, how can I say that I hurt her." ”
"Returning to the princess, Xu Shilang's second wife, Gu, died of arsenic, which should have died at about three o'clock yesterday, and was found by the watchman at night. We have no evidence that the princess did it, but Xu Shilang said that he had evidence. ”
As soon as these two sentences came out, Qin Huai had a bottom in his heart.
At that time, she was still drinking tea with Ruobai, and the entire Wenren Yixiao Pavilion could testify, and even the people in Dali Temple couldn't be sure that it was Qin Huai, how could the words of Xu Jiyuan's family be conclusive.
"What about the evidence?"
At this time, there was no need for Qin Huai to go out again, Caixia immediately picked up the conversation and questioned Xu Jiyuan.
However, Xu Jiyuan was not panicked, as if he was confident and had already mastered the evidence of Qin Huai's crime.
"Yesterday, the second lady of my family went to Wenren Smile Pavilion to make an appointment, and happened to meet the princess, and the princess didn't look down on my second lady and spoke out, and my second lady retorted a few words, and she held a grudge against this ruthless hand."
Guess?
Speculation cannot be evidence in court.
Caixia took a step forward, and her momentum did not diminish in the slightest.
"You are presumptuous, our princess has the world in mind, even if the number of rituals on weekdays is incomplete, but it will never harm people's lives. It's you, Xu Jiyuan! Three times and twice disrespectful to the princess, they both said that they were not poisonous and not husbands, I think you are the mastermind behind the scenes! ”
"!" Xu Jiyuan was angry and shouted.
Caixia will not be frightened by a little waiter, and the more she fights, the more courageous she becomes.
"Since Xu Shilang can conclude that our princess is the murderer because of speculation, then why can't I guess that Xu Shilang is the real murderer?"
The situation took a sudden turn, most of the people who watched the play didn't believe that Qin Huai would kill people, there were too many people who came to the gate of the princess's mansion to find trouble these days, and they hadn't seen anyone succeed.
Besides, as the princess of Tianyu, if Qin Huai wanted to execute someone, how could he need to go to such great lengths and be caught?
Xu Jiyuan didn't let go, waiting for Qin Huai with a pair of eyes, full of resentment.
"At that time, the princess was in the realm where my second lady had an accident, and my wife's belongings were all there, but she lost a bracelet that the princess asked for.
Even he knew that.
Isn't it premeditated?
Qin Huai couldn't see Xu Jiyuan's expression clearly at this time, but he could still feel the persecution in her tone.
She was prevaricating about the bracelet when another person appeared on the other side.
"The grass people can prove it for the princess!"
The man was dressed in a monochrome round-necked robe, with a strange fragrance and a distinctive face.
"Mrs. Xu came to return the bracelet yesterday, and there is no conflict with the princess!"
