Chapter 83: Banyue is pardoned and acquitted
The cell where Banyue lived still had a window, and the small one was only a foot wide, and three old logs stood upright, separating a desolate crescent moon from the outside.
Lying on a straw mat, he could see a small basket of the night sky, dotted with a few stars; The sound of rats crawling by can also be heard.
Such a place, for many people, is like hell, and life is like a year.
However, for him, there is nothing more leisurely than here, just lying there lazily, or sleeping, or reminiscing, or missing, which is a rare kind of rest.
It's the third night here, right?
From time to time, the past flashed in my mind.
Some are clear, some are blurry, some are just a small fragment, and some are so detailed that every detail comes alive as if it were happening.
For example, those times with Hanxiao.
I met her for no reason, and I didn't know the reason for loving her, but she held her heart at all.
He reached for the wine beside him.
The jailer said that it was sent by a girl who claimed to be smiling, and was afraid that he would not be able to sleep in prison, so he was sent to relieve his boredom.
He was very touched in his heart, when did she, who usually rejects herself thousands of miles away, start to know that she cares about herself?
Because of this, he was reluctant to drink. What's more, I don't like to drink.
Staying here and looking at it, it's like seeing a smile.
"Clang, ......" interrupted his thoughts.
Gonggong Li walked in, holding the edict in his hand.
He got up and bowed down.
The meaning of the edict is that in view of the fact that Miss Xiaoxiao admitted that she was already a draft girl, he trespassed into the East Palace and saved Han Xiao's merits, and pardoned him for his innocence.
His brain boomed, and he couldn't accept the premise of innocence-
The selection of the draft girl means that Xiaoxiao is already the emperor's person, and she can be summoned to the palace at any time.
Wouldn't I be able to marry her again?
"No, this must be the smiling girl who sacrificed herself to save me. Please tell me that she doesn't need to do this, and that I will continue to do so. Banyue refused to accept the offer.
Gonggong Li lowered his face and warned sternly: "Do you know that those who resist the decree die!" Regarding this edict, it was not decided by the emperor alone, but was obtained after the debate of the ministers and princes of the court. Everyone in the world already knows that the smiling girl is the emperor's person, even if you resist the decree, you can't change the facts. β
Ban Yue's heart was in pain, and Emperor Pu Xuanhuang did this, which was to snatch love with a knife!
He reluctantly accepted the order and left with Gonggong Li.
The corridors inside the prison were eerie, and the candles on the walls on both sides shook agitated as people passed by.
The jailer on duty took advantage of the wine and meatloaf he had left in his cell.
That night, the guards on duty died suddenly in prison, bleeding from their mouth and nose.
The prison doctor came to check and said that he had been poisoned by arsenic.
When the warden learns that it was Banyue's wine, he asks who sent it.
But the jailer who handled it at the time was dead and no one knew about it.
"Why don't you ask Banyue?" The prison doctor asked.
The warden shook his head: "It's useless to ask, how can a person who wants to harm a general report his name?" The identity must have been concealed. These jailers are greedy for cheap and die, and they take the blame for themselves, so let it be treated as a violent illness and die. β
---------------------
Inside the mourning hall of the East Palace.
The crown prince was dressed in linen and filial piety, and was guarding the spirit according to the orders of Emperor Pu Xuan.
Ochre came in, retreated left and right, and whispered to the prince.
Knowing that Banyue had left the cell intact, the prince was very annoyed, and kicked at Ochre's father-in-law, scolding: "You eunuch, when did you do something?!" β
I was really angry, my father and Hanxiao teamed up and disclosed Hanxiao's identity as an alternate draft girl, so that I grabbed Hanxiao and entered the East Palace and suddenly became everyone's laughing stock, does my father still think about his face? !
The father also punished himself in front of the courtiers to personally guard the spirit.
Does he think of himself as a son?!
Banyue was not punished, but became a loyal minister;
And he died of a crown princess, not only did he not win people's sympathy, but he was also punished, of course, he was resentful.
Resentment made him murderous, and people pretended to be smiling to send poisoned wine to Banyue, wanting to poison him in prison.
If he dies, it's a big deal to say that he has had a relationship with Ban Yue with Xiao, and in order to enter the palace smoothly, he wants to seal Ban Yue's mouth, so he will kill people.
When the time comes, I'm afraid that I can't speak clearly when I smile.
It is estimated that the father and emperor are forced by the pressure of public opinion and dare not accept such a woman into the palace again, so as to prevent her from snatching the status of the mother's concubine, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that the poisonous wine did not poison Banyue.
This guy, how come he always has shit luck?!
"Smiling this woman, if she enters the palace, it will be a mortal threat to the queen mother of the palace, and she must be removed! Why hasn't there been any progress on the Bing side? The prince asked irritably.
"The Bing people said that they had failed several times, and they were really incompetent, so they returned the deposit twice. They also said that there were too many enemies provoked by Hanxiao, not only did our side want to kidnap her, but some people also paid a lot of money to kill her. They felt that there were so many people targeting her with different purposes, and they really didn't know how to deal with it, and they simply didn't want to get involved in it anymore. Ochre explained.
"Someone wants to kill her? Who? The prince asked.
"I don't know. With the rules of Bing, it is impossible to reveal it to us. β
"You're so useless! Bing Gang won't do it, we will do it ourselves. You, go and arrange, get rid of this person as soon as possible! "The prince ordered.
As he was talking, a sudden gust of wind blew, and there was a clanging sound in the coffin of the crown princess.
Father-in-law Ochre trembled with frightβ
Isn't it the ghost of the crown princess?
He couldn't help leaning on the prince.
The prince was also terrified and shouted: "Come on, come on!" β
The maids and government soldiers on duty outside rushed in and checked the coffin for a long time, but found nothing.
The prince ordered someone to pry open the coffin to check it, and the stench inside immediately dispersed.
On this hot day, the body of the crown princess has been lying in it for three days, and it has long been rotten, so it is no wonder that it does not stink.
The prince was disgusted and frightened, and ordered someone to help him back to rest.
There are only two maids left in the mourning hall, and they are the same as last time.
The tile peaks of the roof, revealing a ray of moonlight, shone on the beams.
Qiu Zhengyi completely covered the tiles, and a grim smile appeared on his face.
Just now, it was the coffin that he deliberately hit with a stone to scare the prince away.
As soon as the prince left, the soldiers outside also withdrew, so he could take advantage of the opportunity.
Unwittingly, he struck the acupuncture points of the night maids, causing them to fall asleep, and then swaggered towards the coffin.
He removed the cloth from his face, stuffed cotton into his nose, opened the coffin, and jumped in.
Originally, Emperor Pu Xuanhuang meant not to let himself investigate in detail, but he couldn't help the curiosity of the detective-
According to her own investigation, the crown princess is not a weak woman, but an insightful woman who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
She is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also learned to ride and shoot, and is very healthy.
Now that the fetus in her womb is four months old, it has long passed the fragile period, how can she be frightened and miscarried?
Unless there is another reason.
In view of this, he quietly came to find out.
The stench in the coffin was so thick that his eyes were like chili peppers, and he was so smoky that he burst into tears.
He endured the discomfort, put the slender candle stick in his mouth, and quickly untied the crown princess's clothes.
Sure enough, on the belly of the crown princess, there was a clear footprint.
Now it's a purple-black corpse spot.
He measured the size of his foot, about seven inches and six.
At this size, it should be a man's foot, and the corresponding height is between five and six feet.
In addition to the marks of being kicked in the stomach, her wrists were also clenched.
There are also filaments of strips of cloth in the mouth.
It can be seen that when she was kicked, someone stuffed a cloth in her mouth, and her hand was also pressed, and she couldn't escape and couldn't scream.
It is clear that this is a deliberate murder!!
He dressed the princess again, packed everything, and left without noticing.
