Chapter 128: Staying in the Ren Mansion
() Xu is Imperial Doctor's medicine has an effect, Xu is Xue Ke's mind is too strong, on the third day, Xue Ke is really much better, the Imperial Doctor is half threatening and half pleading, and finally frowned and replied to the prince: "Miss Tang is in good health, as long as she is not tired, not bothered, not worried, it is okay to go out for a walk." ”
The prince knew that she would inevitably be sad before she went to Ren Yaoling, but he had to tell Ah Liuduo to bring a few more people to pay attention to it. Because the prince was going to enter the palace in the morning, he left first after telling him.
Xue Ke changed into plain clothes, Ah Liuzao inquired about Ren Yao's sacrifice place set up in the rudder of the dark gang, Ren Yao has been in charge of the dark gang for many years, and his power cannot be underestimated, and the carriages of the people who came to worship blocked half of the alley, and the trees in the entire alley were hung with white cloths. Xue Ke put on his hat, got out of the carriage with Ah Liu, and walked over. Ying Wu and the others frowned in the dark, there were many and mixed people, and it was not very convenient for them.
Ren Yao is also a person from the rivers and lakes, so the person who welcomed the guests was not too surprised to see a single woman coming to worship, and welcomed Xue Ke to the spirit, Xue Ke instantly rolled down tears, and a big black character on a white background The word "Lay" was hanging in the middle, and there was a lifeless Ren Yao lying in the white cloth and yellow flowers below. Xue Ke lit incense and bowed three times, Ren Yao's nephews kowtowed on the side and returned the salute, Xue Ke wanted to get closer again, but was stopped by Ah Liu. Then a person who looked like a daughter-in-law led Xue Ke into the inner room where the female guest stayed.
"Girl, please leave your name here, my master will remember it."
"Is Mrs. Ren here? I became friends with my wife and wanted to salute me in person. ”
The daughter-in-law glanced at Xue Ke when she heard her say this, and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the girl, but my wife heard this bad news, and her body and mind were painful. ”
Xue Ke felt a pain in his heart. Rubbing his fingers around his waist for a while, he took out the jade pendant that Ren Yao gave her, and handed it to the daughter-in-law: "This is the relic of the helper, please help me transfer it to Madame, and when Madame is a little better, I will come over." ”
Who knew that the daughter-in-law's face changed drastically when she saw it, and she shouted, "Someone!" After making a gesture, there were actually more than a dozen men with knives surrounding Xue Ke and Ah Liu, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at the two, Ah Liu was shocked and stood in front of Xue Ke. The change came so quickly that Ah Liu didn't have time to summon Shadow Five and them.
The daughter-in-law said angrily: "You thief still dare to come to help the lord's spirit!" ”
"Is there any misunderstanding about this sister-in-law?"
"Misunderstanding? Hum! The daughter-in-law sneered: "You are optimistic about her!" I'll go and report to Madame. ”
Xue Kelala Ah Liu signaled her to be at ease, and Ah Liu was not fully sure that Xue Ke went out unharmed, so he remained motionless and looked at those people vigilantly.
After half a cup of tea, Xue Ke heard the curtain behind him, the daughter-in-law walked in front, and the other daughter-in-law helped one person out, it was the fairy aunt. Her whole face is decayed, she has no fairy spirit and spirit of the year, the whole human shape is stubborn, only her stomach is abruptly upright, and it makes people worry when she looks at it.
Xue Ke's heart was sour: "Sister-in-law! ”
The fairy girl looked at Xue Ke with a complicated expression, and her eyes regained a little vitality.
"Madam, I'll go get Chenguang and avenge the helper!"
The fairy girl nodded.
"Chenguang" is Ren Yao's personal dagger, and it is also the murder weapon that killed Ren Yao. Xue Ke asked, "Sister-in-law! Why? ”
"Why?" The fairy girl muttered and repeated: "Did you harm Ren Yao?" ”
Xue Ke was hit hard in her heart, she has been trapped in self-blame these days, it is because she feels that it is she who pulled Ren Yao into the battle between the prince and the king of Qin that will cause Ren Yao to die, Xue Ke was speechless when asked: "Sister-in-law, it's me who is not good, I hurt Ren Yao." ”
The fairy girl's figure shook for a while, and the daughter-in-law on the side supported her cleanly.
"I didn't believe it at all, but now that I've admitted it," she was saying, when the daughter-in-law came over with a plate on the bottom, black silk on the bottom, and a dagger tied with white flowers in the middle, which was Ren Yao's "Chenguang".
Immortal Gu picked up the dagger with trembling fingers, walked up to Xue Ke, and asked sharply, "Why did you do it?" Do you know how good Brother Haruka is to you? Before he could finish his words, he was choked up and speechless.
Xue Ke also choked his throat instantly: "I know, I know." ”
Fairy Gu took two deep breaths: "Since you admit it, let's make a decision." ”
The crown prince and the king of Qin were in the palace to report on the disaster relief and travel. It was almost noon, and King Qin saw that the saint was a little tired, so he couldn't help but say: "The details of the situation have been prepared by the crown prince and me, and my father doesn't need to be in a hurry. ”
The saint nodded and said, "Then let's stop here today." Stand down, too, for tomorrow you will go to court. ”
The two knelt down and resigned. Walking out of the steps, King Qin glanced at the prince and asked in a low voice, "Is she okay?" ”
The prince said expressionlessly: "What do you think?" She went to Ren Yao's place today! ”
"What?" King Qin subconsciously blurted out: "How can she pass?" ”
The prince thought that he was afraid that Xue Ke's mood would be touched, and thought to himself, Can you stop it, so he snorted coldly and did not answer.
King Qin walked out of the palace in three steps and two steps, summoned an attendant and hurriedly gave two orders, and then ignored the prince and went straight to the palace gate. When the prince saw him acting, he thought that he was going to Ren Yao, and thought that he was going to pick up Xue Ke, and followed him out of the palace gate. Who knew that when he arrived at the palace gate, King Qin didn't care about the carriage, so he rode a horse and galloped away, and the prince faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say it, and he followed it at the moment.
As soon as the prince arrived, Shadow Five rushed over and whispered two words in his ear. The prince's face changed, and he followed King Qin directly into the inner room.
The fairy aunt had already heard the movement here, and immediately said: "The Sun family, take them to the secret passage, if there is any noise, kill them immediately!" ”
The daughter-in-law received the order and stepped forward directly to grab Xue Ke, and Ah Liu was about to make a move, when several knives were already on the necks of the two. The two were controlled by others, so they had to be carried two steps, and the daughter-in-law pressed a switch on the wall, and a treasure shelf slowly turned open, and the two were pulled into the dark passage.
The door of the secret passage here was closed, and King Qin broke in. He glanced back and forth, but saw no trace of Xue Ke, only to hear the fairy aunt ask coldly: "Is the prince here to worship Ren Yao?" I'm afraid it's not polite to trespass into the inner room like this, right? ”
"Where's she?"
"I don't know who the prince is talking about?" The fairy aunt replied leisurely, and handed the "Chenguang" in her hand to her granddaughter-in-law on the side, took the handkerchief handed by the next person, and wiped her hands.
King Qin glanced at "Chenguang", and felt even more bad in his heart: "Mrs. Ren, there must be a misunderstanding in this, please be cautious, where is she?" ”
"Misunderstanding?" The fairy aunt raised her eyebrows, and she didn't bother to pretend to be confused with him again: "What is the misunderstanding?" She herself admitted! ”
"Impossible!" King Qin was taken aback. Then I thought that I was afraid that I didn't admit it under torture? He was even more anxious in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Where is she?" How's it going? ”
The daughter-in-law on the side saw him step forward, stood in front, and shouted in a low voice: "The prince is self-respecting!" ”
The two were about to clash, and the prince also strode in: "Mrs. Ren! ”
The fairy aunt had not seen the prince himself, and when she saw someone coming in, she took a step back and glanced at King Qin.
King Qin was helpless, and also took a step back, and arched his hand: "Brother Wang is here." Then he turned to the fairy girl: "This is Mrs. Ren." Madam, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
When the fairy girl heard this, she was about to kneel down and salute. The prince waved his hand: "Madame, please come here because my East Palace Tang girl came to worship as the helper instead of Lone, the next person said that she entered the inner room and never came out, Lone came to take a look, and asked Mrs. for forgiveness." ”
Xian Gu didn't expect that the prince would come in person, and in the name of Xue Ke coming for the East Palace, her heart turned and she gave a light salute: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your love, the surviving person thanked her deceased husband." It's just that His Royal Highness said Miss Tang, I have never seen it, and this ordinary guest will not come to the inner room, I'm afraid that your eyes are wrong! ”
Seeing that she denied it, the prince couldn't help but add a little bit of authority: "The carriage of my East Palace is still at the door, and the people from my East Palace have entered your Ren Mansion but there is no trace, shouldn't Mrs. give an explanation to Lone?" Madame is afraid that she doesn't know the situation in the house, but she can check it out! ”
A faint smile rose at the corner of the fairy girl's mouth, she was born in the court since she was a child, and she was really used to seeing all kinds of power, so she said coldly: "Even if you are as noble as His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that you also have to take into account the reputation of the wind and reputation, right?" If you want to search my Ren Mansion without permission, I'm afraid that it won't work just by the words of a subordinate, Your Highness might as well go out and turn left to go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, take a search warrant and come to the door again! ”
The more anxious the prince's heart became, the more calm his face became, and he raised his eyes to observe the surroundings, hoping that Ah Liu would make a little noise.
Seeing that the prince's interference was ineffective, King Qin knew in his heart that she was ruthless and afraid that she would have to take Xue Ke's life, and he didn't know what Xue Ke's situation was at the moment, so it was better to restrain Mrs. Ren in front of him and replace Xue Ke first. He raised his eyes to look at the prince, and his hand was slightly charged. When the prince saw his expression, he knew that he was going to make a move, although he did not understand the reason, and guessed that the matter must be urgent, so he secretly took a step back and prepared to respond.
Who knew that the fairy aunt didn't know if she was alert or something else, she took a step back lightly and said: "Today's distinguished guests come to the door, I shouldn't be slack, but my body is heavy, I really can't hold it, let me be presumptuous, and retire first." She raised her voice again: "Is Hall Master Sun outside?" Come in and be entertained! After the words ended, the daughters-in-law on both sides supported her, and they were about to leave. Four or five men walked straight into the hall, and when they saw it, they were Lian Jiazi, and their eagle eyes swept across the hall.
King Qin took this breath without a trace, and said sincerely: "Ren Gang Master's heroic soul is not far away, please don't make a big mistake Madame!" ”
The fairy girl had already left, and when she heard this, she turned around suddenly: "What a big mistake!" Does the prince know the inside story? ”
King Qin didn't dare to deny it, for fear of cutting off this trace of vitality, so he said: "Madame, don't you think it's strange to think about the things before and after?" What's more, if it was the gang leader she killed, how could she come over today? What's more, Mrs. understands her, understands the person of the helper better, and the person that the helper believes, doesn't the lady believe it? ”
What King Qin said, Immortal Gu He never thought of it, but Xue Ke had already admitted it himself, Immortal Gu just hesitated for a moment, no longer talked, and continued to walk inside.
The crown prince only understood why King Qin was so anxious at this moment, it turned out that Mrs. Ren thought that Xue Ke was the murderer who killed Ren Yao, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Madame, stay here!" Did you just say that Miss Tang killed the gang leader? How is this possible? She fell seriously ill after knowing the unfortunate news of Ren Gang Master, and she came over today just after being able to go to the ground, there must be a misunderstanding in the middle! I can guarantee that Ren Gang Leader was definitely not killed by her! ”
When the fairy aunt heard this, she got rid of the two daughters-in-law who were holding her, walked straight to the prince, stared at him and said, "What guarantee does Your Highness have?" Where is His Highness on October 23? ”
The prince paused for a moment and said, "I'm on my way back to Beijing." However, the subordinates of the East Palace can testify. ”
The fairy aunt glanced at the prince in disappointment, and a hint of mockery flowed from the corner of her mouth: "Then Miss Tang's previous visit to Hongxiao Tower, do the people in the East Palace know?" ”
The prince was speechless by her, and said, "But there must be a misunderstanding in the matter of Ren Gang Master!" ”
King Qin stepped forward and said, "The gang leader Ren has known me for many years, so it is better to hand over this matter to me for careful investigation, and I will definitely give my wife an explanation!" ”
"What? Is the prince going to find a scapegoat? ”
King Qin smiled bitterly: "If I have the heart to fool, if she has the heart to cover up, how can it come to such a point?" If the lady falls into the trap of others, wouldn't it be the relatives who are bitter and the enemy is happy, and how can the gang leader be blind under the nine springs? ”
The fairy aunt was hurt by King Qin's words, she unconsciously touched the fetus in her womb, and King Qin immediately said, "Madame, slow down." He also instructed the daughter-in-law on the side to move the chair: "Madame, be careful, sit down and talk slowly." ”
Immortal Gu sighed secretly in her heart, and finally sat down slowly, and then ordered Hall Master Sun and the others to retreat first. Seeing that the situation had eased, King Qin couldn't help asking, "Is she okay now?" ”
The fairy aunt nodded, and the prince and the king of Qin were relieved.
"Since Madame also has doubts, it is better to invite her out, and everyone will make it clear in person." The daughter-in-law on the side also brought two chairs to the prince and King Qin, and King Qin sat down and tried it.
"Since both Highnesses have said that there must be a misunderstanding in this process, and that I am a widow and have difficulty moving, I will ask you to speak with evidence, and I will be here to greet you in seven days. As for Miss Tang, please rest assured that these seven days will be over. ”
The crown prince and King Qin looked at each other, knowing that she was going to take Xue Ke as a hostage and let them go to find the murderer, although they were helpless, but there was a seven-day deadline, so they could discuss it slowly. Although the two of them have a noble status, they have no choice but to agree at this moment.
When the fairy girl went to the secret passage, she saw that Xue Ke and Ah Liu were tied up strongly, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in their mouths, and after learning that there was no communication between the two, she ordered the two to be separated, took out the cloth in Xue Ke's mouth, and said, "Miss Tang, you have suffered." ”
"Sister-in-law, why?"
Immortal Gu looked at Xue Ke's expression attentively, and said seriously: "Do you know how Ren Yao died?" ”
Xue Ke nodded: "I was stabbed to death by Chenguang." ”
The fairy aunt asked her a few more questions, and saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, and she really didn't know the specific cause of Ren Yao's death, and she also believed a little bit in the words of the prince and the king of Qin, and sent someone to ask Ah Liu, and sure enough, Ah Liu just said that Xue Ke was sick after getting the news, and he happened to come over today.
"Sun family, you go and ask the doctor to come over, Miss Tang doesn't look good."
"Sister-in-law, my body is out of the way." Xue Ke looked at her and couldn't help but say, "Are you okay?" Is the baby okay? ”
The fairy aunt felt sour, and she was indeed a little tired today, thinking that her face was not very good-looking, and her attitude softened: "Miss Tang might as well stay with me for a few days." ”
After learning that Ah Liu was not in danger, Xue Ke nodded again and again: "I was originally going to come over to accompany my sister-in-law." ”
