Chapter Twenty-Eight: Bending into a Trick
"But it's okay, she is Princess Xu Ming, and she can help Nangong pour it."
Mo Ran whispered a "hmm", "However, who do you think is most likely to be the murderer of Fu Taiqing?" ”
"What I suspect is ....."
"Lotus Heart!" Mo Ran blurted out.
Bei Ran nodded affirmatively, "However, last time, Lianxin didn't want to kill Nangong Dumping, but why did he do such a thing this time?" ”
Mo Ran couldn't figure out this question.
"Lord, Your Majesty once asked Fu Taiqing, you, the sixth prince, the eleventh prince, who is more suitable for the position of prince. And Fu Taiqing's indirect answer is that you are more suitable for the position of prince. ”
Just when they were confused, Wu Xi found out about Fu Taiqing and Emperor Wan's concubine.
In this way, the past can be explained, "If the murderer is really Lianxin, then framing Nangong Dumping is not Lianxin's plan, and killing Fu Taiqing for Emperor Wan's concubine is her real plan." Lianxin was working in the Suxi Palace, and there were no guards patrolling outside the hall, so it was easy to steal the arrow. ”
Through what Wu Xi found out, Bei Ran quickly analyzed all this.
In Bei Ran's analysis, Mo Ran felt a little illogical.
Mo Ran shook his head, "No. Since Nangong Dumping was not Lianxin's plan, why did she use her arrows to kill Fu Taiqing? Since there are many ways to kill Fu Taiqing, why did she have to use Nangong to pour that arrow? And she was working in the Kanxi Temple, and it was impossible for her not to know that the arrow was unique. ”
The question that Mo Ran said, Bei Ran thought about it carefully, and it was right.
Bei Ran suddenly thought, "Hasn't Princess Xu Ming been in the Suxi Palace?" Ask her if she knows something. ”
"Let's go! Go to the Qin Pavilion. Mo Ran and Bei Ran immediately went to the Qin Pavilion to find Princess Xu Ming.
The Pavilion is not the decoration of Beiliang, and the whole Pavilion is full of exotic taste.
"Princess Xu Ming, the king of the north and the eleventh prince ask to see you." Xu Ming's personal maid, Mao Ru said.
When Xu Ming heard that they were coming, he hurriedly asked people to come in.
Since Shu Yao restored Princess Xu Ming, His Majesty has found her a lot of masters, taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, taught her to read and write, and taught her the basic etiquette of the royal family and the Qinzhou tribe. I have no free time to play at all, and I spend all day studying in the backyard.
Mao Ru took Beiran and Mo Ran to the backyard, and saw that the backyard was full of books, some piano and chess, and even some grandmothers.
Because Princess Xu Ming is the grandchild princess of the Qinzhou tribe, Bei Ran and Mo Ran need to salute Princess Xu Ming.
"Minister, see Princess Xu Ming." Bei Ran and Mo Ran said in unison.
Xu Ming saw them saluting and hurriedly asked them to get up.
Xu Ming asked his subordinates to retreat first.
"When no one is around, it's better to call me Shuyao. Although Xu Ming was obtained by my mother, I was still a little unaccustomed to it. Shu Yao said.
"Okay." Beiran said.
"Why did you come back to carry the Qin Pavilion? Aren't you investigating who killed Fu Taiqing? Shu Yao asked suspiciously.
Mo Ran told Shu Yao everything they analyzed.
"Think about it carefully, did Lianxin have anything unusual at those times?" Mo Ran said.
Shu Yao thought about it carefully, and there was really nothing abnormal, so she shook her head.
——
Shu Yao restored the identity of Princess Aja Ji Ming of the Qinzhou tribe, and this matter has also reached the ears of Emperor Wan.
Emperor Wan's concubine thought to herself: A little maidservant girl turned out to be Princess Aja Jiyun Xu Ming of the Qinzhou tribe!
Since Nangong Dumpling is the person Shu Yao cares about the most at the moment, let her feel heartache!
Nangong was in prison and would be taken out for interrogation every day.
There are still three days left before Nangong Tilting is beheaded, and she has been in prison alone for five days.
I was taken out for interrogation very early today, two hours early.
In the past, she was interrogated standing up, and nothing tied her up.
Only today, after she was taken out, she was chained to a wooden frame by the guards.
"See Emperor Wan's concubine." The guards saluted.
Emperor Wan waved her hand, and the guards retreated, leaving only Lord Li who was interrogating and the guards who were executing.
Nangong Tianshen saw that Emperor Wan's concubine had come to the prison, and the way of interrogation today was different from the previous five days, so he felt that it was a big deal.
"Why are you here?" Nangong said loudly.
Emperor Wan's concubine glanced at her, sneered, and said, "This is the prison, not your home, if the palace wants to come, it will naturally come." ”
"You also know that this is a prison, and you think that such a noble person as you would come here? The sun is coming out in the west! Nangong sneered.
Emperor Wan's concubine could hear that Nangong was mocking her, and she didn't need to pay attention to her.
"Say it! Are you going to be beheaded, and you still don't plead guilty? ”
After Nangong Tilting heard this, he laughed, "Hahahaha~~~~~~~~"
"You're dying, and you can still laugh." This laughter made Emperor Wan's concubine very unhappy.
"Didn't you say it, Imperial Concubine Wan? I'm dying, so why should I confess my sins? Nangong asked rhetorically.
Emperor Wan shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I confessed, at least let Your Majesty know that he was not mistaken." ”
"I'm dying, even if my father is mistaken?"
Emperor Wan's concubine was originally unhurried, and her face changed in an instant.
"Do you plead guilty or not?" Emperor Wan roared.
Nangong Qian smiled, "Why should I confess what I haven't done?" ”
Emperor Wan's concubine made a look, and the guard picked up the whip and whipped Nangong Dumping, whipping her one by one.
I only heard screams one after another.
Emperor Wan made a gesture, and the guards stopped.
"You still don't recognize it?" Emperor Wan asked indifferently.
Nangong didn't answer her, only smiled at her wickedly.
"Since you're not afraid of whipping, change it."
The guards loosened the chains, dragged Nangong Tilt to the ground, and put a hammer on Nangong Tilt's hand.
When the slapstick was on her hand, she was really panicked.
In the past, in modern times, every time I watched a costume drama, this torture device occasionally appeared, and it hurt to look at it.
After the guard put the hammer on her hand, he began to tighten the rope and contract, and the bamboo caught between her fingers in pain.
She was so painful that she couldn't scream, so she could only bite her lip.
She bit so hard that her lips were broken, and a trail of blood was left on the side of her mouth.
Emperor Wan made a gesture to stop the guards.
"How painful it is, and now you have felt it, have you pleaded guilty?"
She was so weak from pain that she could only be heard by approaching her.
The Imperial Concubine approached her and listened to what she had to say.
"I'm dying, if I want to know anything, you'll tell me!" She said with a sigh of air.
Because this is the case in costume dramas, when you are dying, you will know the truth.
Emperor Wan asked them all to retreat, she smiled and said, "Of course, you are about to die, and if you want to know anything, this palace can tell you." She said smugly.
"Who killed Fu Taiqing?"
"Lotus Heart."
"Why did she kill Fu Taiqing?"
"Because that's her mission."
"Who is the person who gave her the task?"
"Hongu."
"Why does Lianxin listen to you so much?"
"Because her father and mother are in the hands of this palace."
"Where did you hide her father?"
"A hidden place in the backyard of the Mianwan Palace."
She didn't expect that Emperor Wan's concubine would say it so defenselessly.
Nangong poured out her thoughts: It seems that she is really going to die, and the concubine of Emperor Wan has already told her all the handles that threaten Lianxin.
Nangong smiled wickedly, "It seems that I am really going to die." Otherwise, how could the mother tell me all this. ”
Emperor Wan's concubine approached Nangong and said something like this, "This palace is waiting for you to die, and it has been waiting for a long time." ”
After speaking, Emperor Wan's concubine left the prison, and Nangong Tianxuan was also dragged back to the cell.
——
In the prison, there are people planted by Shu Yao inside. Every day when Nangong Dumpling happens in the prison, someone will tell her.
"Princess Xu Ming, Emperor Wan used whipping and shackling on Princess Bei." The guard said.
Shu Yao was practicing calligraphy at this time, and she thought that it would be just an interrogation like the previous five days. Unexpectedly, Emperor Wan and Concubine Wan would go to the prison to execute her.
After she heard the guard's report, she asked Mao Ru to prepare some medicine, and went to the prison to see Nangong Dumping.
When she went to Nangong's cell, she saw that there was no trace of blood on her face, she was covered with whip marks, and her fingers were red and swollen.
With tears in her eyes, she ran over and helped her up, "Miss, miss." She shouted softly.
Nangong Tingyu heard someone calling her, she slowly opened her eyes, it was Shu Yao.
She reluctantly squeezed out a smile towards Shu Yao and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Shu Yao cried and said, "There is my person in the prison, and he will report your situation to me every day. I never thought that Emperor Wan would lynch you. ”
After hearing this, Nangong shook his head, "Although I have suffered these punishments, I know about Lotus Heart. You tell you what I told you, you have to tell Bei Ran and Mo Ran word for word. ”
Shu Yao nodded, leaned over to Nangong Tan's mouth, and listened to her.
"The murderer of Fu Taiqing is Lianxin, Lianxin's father and mother are in a secret place in the backyard of the Mianwan Palace of Emperor Wan. Let Beiran be careful, and unknowingly rescue Lianxin's father and mother, and take care of it. ”
Shu Yao nodded, "I know, I know." ”
"Maoru, bring the medicine."
Mao Ru immediately took out the medicine and handed it to Shu Yao.
Shu Yao took Mao Ru's medicine and carefully gave her medicine.
"This is the best ointment, it was given to me by His Majesty, although it hurts a little, but it is good quickly." Shu Yao cried.
Nangong Qian smiled, "You're a princess, don't call me Miss." ”
Shu Yao shook her head, "Whether I am Shu Yao or Princess Xu Ming, you are my young lady." ”
"Silly girl."
"You're so badly injured, and you're still teasing me."
Shu Yao kept shedding tears to give Nangong Dump the medicine, and Nangong Dump raised her hand with difficulty to wipe away the tears on Shu Yao's face.
"You are no longer the Shu Yao who was bullied, you are the daughter of Aja Jinglan Aja Jimin of the Qinzhou tribe, Aja Jimin Xu Ming. You have an amazing mother, a mother who can protect you for the rest of your life. Your tears can't fall any more easily. ”
"I know."
"Okay, you go and tell Bei Ran what I just said." Nangong poured Shen away and pushed Shu Yao away.
"Okay, Maoru, you stay here to give medicine to Princess Bei, and you have to come every day, understand?"
Shu Yao left and did not forget to instruct Mao Ru to give her medicine every day.
"Yes, Princess."
Shu Yao was reluctant to leave the prison and hurried to the Mojin Palace.
"Lord, Princess Xu Ming is here." Wu Xi said.
"Come in, please." Beiran said.
After Shu Yao came in, she still cried a little and said, "Lord Wang, you quickly find a way to go to the backyard of Emperor Wan's concubine and find Lianxin's father and mother." Lianxin will kill Fu Taiqing, which is the task given to her by Emperor Wan's concubine. Because Lianxin's father and mother were in the hands of Emperor Wan's concubine, she had to listen to Emperor Wan's words. ”
"What!" Mo Ran was shocked.
"Quick, you guys quickly find a way to rescue Lianxin's father and mother, not only to rescue them, but also to take care of them. This is all in exchange for the pain. Shu Yao couldn't help but think of the picture of being in prison just now.
Bei Ran and Mo Ran both noticed that Shu Yao's eyes were red and swollen, as if they had just cried, "What do you mean that this is what Nangong Dumping exchanged for pain?" Beiran asked.
"Emperor Wan's concubine flogged and whipped the young lady, and the imperial concubine was confident that the young lady would be beheaded, so she told the young lady all this." As she spoke, Shu Yao shed tears again.
"Execution!" Mo Ran said loudly.
"Don't say any more, find a way to rescue Lianxin's father. Also, as long as Lianxin is persuaded to confess, the young lady will be fine. Shu Yao cried.
Bei Ran asked Mo Ran to stay, and he tried to find a way to rescue Lianxin's father and mother.
Shu Yao remembered Nangong Tilting's injured appearance, couldn't suppress her emotions, and cried very sadly.
Mo Ran won't coax people, now that Shu Yao is crying so sadly, he can only wipe the tears from her face.
