Chapter 278: Interrogation

Updated: >

Lan Shikang saw that Xiao Ruo didn't have any intention of confessing at all, and his face was even more gloomy. It was natural to be angry in his heart, but he didn't have any hope for the woman in front of him in the first place, so he couldn't talk about any disappointment.

"At the beginning, I heard that Yu Cheng planned to marry a woman who didn't help him at all, just because he loved beauty and didn't love the country, but now it seems that I really think that my nephew's vision is good, and even my queen is not careful, and died in your hands." Lan Shikang shook his right hand hard, and flipped Xiao Ruo to the ground and sat back in the Luohan chair.

When Xiao Ruo raised his head again, he could clearly see two unusually obvious dark purple marks on her jaw, which showed that Lan Shikang did not retain a trace of strength when he pinched her jaw just now.

"Why, you're distressed" said, Xiao Ruo laughed out loud: "Look at me, I thought you would be a heart." Thinking about it, your heart should have been eaten by dogs a long time ago, otherwise you would not have killed Prince Luo's family for a throne, nor would you have killed the entire Lin Mansion for your pathetic suspicion. Aren't you afraid that on the day the ghost gate opens in July, all the people who died tragically under your hands will come to seek revenge on you?"

can disregard everyone's lives, even if Xiao Ruo's hoarse accusation did not cause Lan Shikang to feel the slightest guilt, but made his whole person more ruthless: "Why are you afraid that I am the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the Son of Heaven, and I have the protection of the gods, even if they really dare to come to seek revenge, if they come to one, I will destroy one, and if I come two, I will destroy a pair, why be afraid"

In this world, only "success and defeat" is the truth. All of them were destined by God to pave a path to kinghood for him, and that was their best outcome. If you dare to have two hearts, it is naturally a god who blocks and kills God, and a Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and what is a ghost

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." Xiao Ruo looked up to the sky and laughed: "What kind of ninety-five honor do you have, this throne was passed on to Prince Luo by the first emperor at all, if it weren't for you to get in the way and let the old man Xie Zhengzhong fake the will of the first emperor, this world is the world of Prince Luo's lineage, and where can you be allowed to do so evil, and make this originally clear world into a miasma." If God wants to protect a wicked person like you, then you really don't have long eyes."

Lan Shikang squinted his eyes, looked at Xiao Ruo, who was smiling a little crazy, and reached out to insert his hand into her thin neck: "Say, what else do you know Lan Yucheng told you about where the emperor's will is now?"

If there is no antidote, there is no antidote, Lan Yucheng really solved the poison in his body, for Lan Shikang, it is just to solve the problem that he has become more troublesome, it is just a matter of time before he is done, but the edict of the former emperor is different.

At the beginning, Xie Zhengzhong and Lin Yidong entered the palace when the emperor was in danger, which was the edict drafted by Xie Zhengzhong, and then Lin Yidong covered the jade seal, confirmed that it was correct, and handed it over to the emperor himself. Before Lan Shikang seized the throne, he had also searched all the places in the former emperor's bedroom, but he never found any trace of the edict of succession.

As for the edict he forged, the handwriting on it is still Xie Zhengzhong's handwriting, and the imperial seal on it is indeed the jade seal of the former emperor, except for Lin Yidong, who was present at the time, there is no second person who will know that the former emperor once asked Xie Zhengzhong to draw up an edict passed on to Prince Luo, so all the ministers only thought that what Prince Luo did in the Qianqing Palace that day, just delusional about the throne and went crazy.

Lan Shikang also suspected that the real edict of succession had come into the hands of Prince Luo's faction, but until Prince Luo was dying, no one had taken out the edict, so he also dispelled this idea.

It's just that at this time, this woman, who can nominally be regarded as the wife of his good nephew, actually thinks that his copy of the edict of succession is fake, which arouses his suspicions again. If Lan Yucheng really has a legacy edict in his hand, as long as he ascends to the heights, he can make his throne unjustifiable, even if he has a way to make him disappear into this world, but he can no longer stop the mouths of the people.

Xiao Ruo heard Lan Shikang's words, and his heart was slightly stunned. If it weren't for the fact that the former emperor summoned Lan Yucheng when he was alive, and his words were full of words to pass the throne to his father, Prince Luo, and his father was in the Qianqing Palace at that time, they would not have suspected that the edict in Lan Shikang's hands was fake.

It's just that in this way, there really is a legacy of succession, and it has never fallen into the hands of Lan Shikang. Xiao Ruo reacted in a moment, not caring about the suffocation on his neck again, Xiao Ruo opened his mouth and said: "Why do I want to tell you that you destroyed my Lin Mansion Manmen, you killed my father, mother, grandmother, and made my brother look like that, why do I have to tell you that you want to kill, just kill it." Under the Yellow Spring, I will surely turn into a terrible ghost, and I will enter your dreams every day, disturbing you in your life and not having peace in your life."

Xiao Ruo's eyes had become blood-red, which was stained red by the blood of all the dead relatives. Remembering that when her father died, she could not go to collect the body; Mother, grandmother died in front of her eyes, but there was nothing she could do; Now she can only watch as her dearest brother becomes a living doll who doesn't know anything. If she dies, it is liberation, then she dies, and what is there to be afraid of

"Hmph, don't worry, your little life is still of some use to me, I have spread the news of you outside the palace, and my good nephew who wants to come will definitely save him with death. When the time comes, if he is willing to hand over the edict to me, maybe I will be merciful and let the two of you be buried together and be a pair of mandarin ducks in hell. Hahaha~" After speaking, Lan Shikang let go of Xiao Ruo's neck, turned around and left the cell directly.

Xiao Ruo looked at the closed cell door viciously, and her tight breathing could still tell her that she had almost died at the hands of that man just now. She can die, but she doesn't want to die and become a living doll in Lan Shikang's hands, a living doll without any thoughts

"It's rumored that the commander of the Praetorian Guard has come to see me," Lan Shikang got out of the cell and went directly to the imperial study.

The death of the empress has made the mighty Marquis Mansion have a lot of whispers about him, the emperor; Now that it has been found out that it was Xie Danniang's ghost, there should be news from Weiwuhou's side, if Xie Danniang is not punished slightly, he can't calm the resentment in Weiwuhou's heart. But if it is what happens to Xie Danniang, I am afraid that Xie Zhengzhong's old husband should make waves again.

Lan Shikang's fingers pressed on his temple, he was not at all at ease as an emperor. Outside, there is a branch of the Mighty Marquis Mansion in charge of military power, and inside there is Xie Zhengzhong who looks like the first person under the Son of Heaven above the court, balancing these two parties, he has not done it for so many years. If Prince Luo is allowed to resurrect again, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to arrange all this properly and thoughtfully.

Not long after, the commander of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly rushed over from outside the palace: "The emperor is safe, I don't know what the emperor has to do when he summons Wei Chen" Now the official's food is really not delicious, he was still working outside under the scorching sun just now, but suddenly someone said that the emperor wanted to see him, maybe it should be some kind of chore.

"Did you find it?" Lan Shikang's fingers tapped on the desk again and again, although it was his unintentional action, it made the heart of the Praetorian Guard commander kneeling on the ground sink more and more.

"If you go back to the emperor, when the ministers arrived at Miaoyi Hutong, the building was already empty. The minister also interrogated several surrounding families, and they all said that two of the doctors had been gone for a few days, but someone asked for an emergency visit, so they went to the clinic and never returned. The Commander replied in a deep voice.

On that day, when Lan Shikang saw the letter written by Xiao Ruo, he sent someone out of the palace to Miaoyi Hutong and found the doctor Yichu mentioned in the letter. It's just that before that, Li Yanxu had already delivered the antidote to Mr. Jiang's hands, and the two masters returned to the valley overnight, which narrowly escaped Lan Shikang's search.

"What's wrong with entering and exiting the palace gate" Everything has not gone well so far, which has made Lan Shikang's heart more and more irritable, and his fingers are tapping on the table faster.

"Back to the emperor, the guards guarding the palace gate said that they have never seen anyone from Lanxiao Palace leave the palace these days, but there are many palace maids following on the day of the queen's funeral, so I don't know if anyone is mixed out of the palace." The Commander had been sweating on his forehead, but now the sweat had become unusually cold.

remembered that Xie Danniang once said that the queen was funeral that day, and Miss Lin San, who was still by her side at the time, once went out of Lanxiao Palace to "send" the queen for her. Come to think of it, Miss Lin San must have handed over the antidote to the people who were with the funeral at that time.

Who will it be

Lan Shikang frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't get an answer, so he said, "You go to the palace gate and ask people to register all the people who have entered and left the palace gate in this month and send them to me." ”

"Yes, Wechen understands." The Commander paused, and hesitated to ask for instructions: "It's just that Weichen dared to ask, the doctor sitting in the Miaoyi Hutong has been gone for a few days, do you want to send someone to continue the investigation."

Lan Shikang waved his hand and said, "Let everyone come back, I think they should have already left Kyoto." However, I should be back in a few days. Lan Shikang sneered: "Let the people at the city gate relax, even if you find any suspicious people, don't act rashly, just order people to keep an eye on it." "If the entrance to the cave is blocked, then how can he lure the snake out of the hole?

I think that if Lan Yucheng's gang didn't want to be discovered, these useless things would definitely not be able to find anything. Anyway, they would all come back sooner or later, so why should he rush this moment
