Chapter 175: Zhao Linglong's questioning
Zhao Linglong didn't dare to make any more trouble, and sat on the stool obediently, looking at Zhong Xiaoshu.
"Are you really okay? Why don't you let Nianwu come in and help you take a look, and you won't care about it when the second emperor brother is in charge......"
She didn't care, one by one, whether it was the queen or the princess, they all found her, as if they were already in the whirlpool, where was there any reason to hide aside.
Zhong Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief, and said carefully and recklessly Zhao Linglong, "In fact, now that the second prince has been arrested, it is no longer as simple as whether he is a murderer or not. But behind this autumn hunt, people from several parties wanted the second prince to be the murderer, so they pushed him out. The emperor may not know, or he may know, but the result is that he ordered the arrest of the second prince. ”
"This ...... What does this mean, you can tell me a little more detail. Zhao Linglong is not stupid, she vaguely knew about this matter and the inside story on the spot, but she hadn't lifted the fog that covered her eyes.
"It means that now Prime Minister Ying has come forward to point out that the second prince is resentful and wants to harm Miss Ying, but unexpectedly the mistake has hurt the head of the fifth princess, and such a show is actually someone behind the joint prime minister." Zhong Xiaoshu said, "Only you and I know about changing horses, and no one else knows." So the real murderer didn't know, so he took it for granted that Prime Minister Ying came forward to plant the pot to the second prince. ”
"Of course, a prime minister is also a courtier, and he doesn't dare to splash sewage on the prince like this. At this time, the real forces behind it came out, whether it was the prime minister who took the initiative to ask for help, or they saw a rare opportunity and went to find the prime minister themselves, in short, after several agreements, the second prince was chosen as the murderer, so as to get the most favorable result for all parties. ”
"How could Uncle Ying be such a person?" Zhao Linglong exclaimed.
In her impression, Ying Tianhai is a very kind and kind uncle, which is one of the reasons why she is very willing to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and go to Ying Shuangshuang to play.
Zhong Xiaoshu also knew that if the fog was lifted in this way, it would inevitably subvert many of Zhao Linglong's cognitions, but now, he has to make it clear.
"But if it's not like this, how can it make sense, and the prime minister should stand up and say that the second prince is harmful?" Zhong Xiaoshu asked rhetorically.
"In this matter, the Ying family can't get out of it. In addition to the royal family, that is, his family clearly appeared above the holy decree! It can be seen that the murder was exposed at that time, and it became like that, and the real murderer couldn't see it, so he had to hurriedly beg Prime Minister Ying, wanting to suppress this matter, but Prime Minister Ying couldn't refuse the real murderer, so he united others, and after several discussions, Prime Minister Ying had the confidence to come forward and identify the second prince, and the real murderer was all covered. ”
Zhong Xiaoshu felt that he had already given enough hints in the open, and who the real murderer was, so he almost said it by name.
Whoever is exposed once the incident is exposed, will be involved in the Ying family, and as soon as anyone makes a mistake, Prime Minister Ying will have to help her, clean up the mess for her, and even come forward to point to the person who the prince wants to be saved.
Zhao Linglong is really not stupid, after listening to Zhong Xiaoshu's words, she quickly reacted, and looked at her with wide eyes, "This is impossible!" ”
This sentence "impossible" is not as straightforward and confident as she said at the beginning that Zhao Qi could not be the murderer.
In fact, after sorting out the details one by one, the Ying family really doesn't look like innocent people.
The room was silent for a while, Zhong Xiaoshu and Zhao Linglong looked at each other wordlessly for a long time, and finally ended with Zhao Linglong looking away in a panic.
She stood up in a bit of a panic, and said stubbornly, "I don't believe your words, most of these are your speculations, and there is no evidence." I wouldn't doubt a good friend! ”
Zhong Xiaoshu was not in a hurry to refute, and smiled lightly, "If you want to talk about evidence, the dagger with the emblem of the second prince found from Ma Shi's body now is also ironclad evidence, then Linglong, do you think the second prince is the real murderer?" ”
Of course the second brother is not!
But......
Zhao Linglong choked, the corners of her mouth twitched and pursed, and then snorted lightly, opened the door as soon as she pleased, ignored Nianwu, and walked out in a hurry, without saying hello.
When I went in just now, I still looked like the two sisters, and the princess even seemed to be at a loss to find someone to help, why did they chat for a while, and the fifth princess left angrily.
Nian Wu turned around suspiciously, and saw Zhong Xiaoshu sitting on the stool by himself, rubbing his arm, and there was no intention of chasing him.
After looking closely, Nian Wu saw that Zhong Xiaoshu's arm had a slight red mark, and hurriedly walked in, "Madam!" What's wrong with you? ”
I won't fight with the five princesses in the room!
"It's okay, I accidentally twisted it just now. Linglong's temper was really stinky and urgent, and after being quiet for a while, it made trouble again. Zhong Xiaoshu sighed lightly, "But fortunately, she still knows the truth, and it seems that she still understands my words." ”
Nianwu hurriedly took out the ointment and rubbed it on Zhong Xiaoshu, and said, "Madame already knew that the fifth princess was a quick temper, so she should explain it to the princess in a different way, where did she hurt herself like this?" If the lord saw it, he might blame the slave for not protecting the lady. ”
Zhong Xiaoshu distracted himself slightly, glanced down at Nian Wu, and saw that her face was really full of worry, and smiled slightly.
"It's not that serious, it's just twisted. If Zhige comes back and wants to punish you, I will definitely protect you. ”
Nianwu's heart was warm, and now her master is really a good master that no number of slaves can look forward to. Even better than before in the Second Prince's Mansion, she was even better.
Nian Wu carefully massaged Zhong Xiaoshu's arm, so that the soreness just now quickly dissipated, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Zhong Xiaoshu moved twice, and said by the way, "Besides, you also know Linglong's temperament, when she gets up in a hurry, I really can't stop her." Just now, she almost went directly to the emperor on impulse, how could it work! It's a shame that I quickly grabbed it, otherwise maybe I would have to go with the emperor to answer now. ”
"If that's the case, Madame should also pay more attention to herself, fortunately, she didn't hurt her muscles and bones, otherwise the slave and maid are really to blame." Nian Wu watched Zhong Xiaoshu shake his arm, and his heart twitched.
In the end, it was Zhong Xiaoshu who persuaded and coaxed to stabilize the person, and sent her to see how the dinner prepared in the kitchen was doing, and then Nianwu's mind shifted to other places.
Zhong Xiaoshu let out a long breath and said in his heart, the busy day has finally passed, and tomorrow will be a beautiful day.
