Chapter 389: Hypocritical Acting
After this toss, when he came to the palace, it had been a long time, and the leading guards took the lead in entering the imperial study and said back to Chu Xi.
"See Your Majesty, the princess has been brought, and people are outside the door."
Chu Xi had been waiting impatiently for a long time, so after seeing the leading guard reply, he angrily smashed the teacup in his hand on him and scolded angrily.
"Idiot, idiot, let you go and catch someone, it took so long to come back, what's the use of me letting you raise you, rubb, a bunch of rubb."
"Why is the emperor so angry? Did these subordinates do something wrong to anger you? If it's because of the king's love for the concubine, then you really blame him, because it's the king's delay and has nothing to do with him. ”
Listening to Chu Xi's angry reprimands and smashing sounds, Su Nianjun took Shen Xianhe's hand and walked into the imperial study without passing it on, and looked at Chu Xi who was furious with a smile.
Seeing that the husband and wife were so unscrupulous and came in without transmission, the hatred in Chu Xi's heart came to an end, but when he thought of the threat of the Beiqiang army, he endured it alive again, and explained with a reluctant smile.
"The prince is too worried, there is nothing to do, it is presumptuous to invite the princess so late, I am angry because these minions are too presumptuous, and they forget their identities because I lift him, so I scolded a few words, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by the prince and the princess."
After speaking, he solemnly looked at the leading guard and scolded.
"Don't go down quickly, today you have to thank the princess and princess for not bothering with you a lot, otherwise, even if you have a few heads, it won't be enough to cut off."
"Yes, yes, my subordinates thank you Your Majesty, thank you to the princess and princess for a lot, and my subordinates will retire."
After saying that, he turned around and retreated as if fleeing.
Su Nianjun and Shen Xianhe also pretended not to understand that he was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and watched him act.
"I wonder what His Majesty invited me to come in the middle of the night?"
After the leading guards retreated, Shen Xianhe was too lazy to waste time acting with Chu Xi, because she was pregnant now, even if it wasn't for herself, for the baby in her womb, she had to rest well.
Seeing that Shen Xianhe was so arrogant and had no consciousness of doing anything wrong, Chu Xi was furious in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a serious expression and looked incredulous.
"Someone came to me today, saying that Chen Han in the prison died, and before he died, only you took a fake token to visit the prison in the prison, so I asked you to come, just to ask you if this matter is all right?"
Shen Xianhe raised her eyebrows, a little tired, seeing the chairs on display on the side, without waiting for Chu Xi to give her a seat, she asked Su Nianjun to help her sit over, and after finding a comfortable position to sit down, she slowly looked at Chu Xi, whose eyes were already cold, and replied.
"Well, that's true, I picked up a token on the side of the road, and I felt that it was very much like a token to go to the prison, so I went to the prison and looked at Chen Han, originally I went, just to ask him, why did he hurt me in the first place, but I didn't expect that he suddenly rushed over like crazy to kill me, and I asked my subordinates to kill him in a fit of anger, anyway, the evidence of him framing me is conclusive, and sooner or later he will die, so I solved him in advance."
Seeing that Shen Xianhe was so arrogant, Chu Xi snorted coldly.
"Hmph, what place are you supposed to be? This is the Daqing Dynasty, it is my world, even if Chen Han framed you, but it is not your turn to kill him, he is a person of the Daqing Dynasty, he has committed a crime, naturally there are laws and regulations of the Daqing Dynasty to deal with him, you openly kill him, you don't put me in your eyes, and you don't put the Daqing Dynasty in your eyes, what is the reason? Do you really think that relying on Su Nianjun's mountain, I really don't dare to do anything to you? ”
Shen Xianhe looked at Chu Xi sarcastically, and his tone did not back down at all to compete with him.
"Of course I know what kind of place this is, I didn't rely on Su Nianjun's momentum to be so presumptuous, even if there was no him, I would still do it, Chen Han framed me in front and assassinated me in the back, isn't it obvious to everyone? What's so controversial about this? The reason why I killed him today is because he told me a truth, does Your Majesty want to know what the truth is? ”
Chu Xi's heart jumped, and a bad premonition came to his heart, but what he thought of was whether Chen Han had returned the treasure map he had obtained from Shen Xianhe to her, so he said tentatively in an uncertain tone.
"What truth?"
A sneer rose on the corner of Shen Xianhe's mouth, and he stared at Chu Xi with bloodthirsty hatred in his eyes.
Chu Xi was unnaturally looked at by her eyes, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"He told me that the eldest princess, the eldest princess, the mother who raised me, was not suddenly killed, but was poisoned to death, and the time of poisoning was a long time ago, and he told me that it was he who poisoned him, and of course, as long as I rescued him, he told me who instructed him to poison and frame the murderer? How could I have rescued him, so I killed him in a fit of rage, Your Majesty, do you know who that murderer is? ”
Chu Xi was silent, his eyes were empty and he avoided Shen Xianhe's gaze.
"Did he really say that? How could I know about the murderer, since you killed him because of this, I don't want to ask you about your guilt, after all, I know how good your relationship with the eldest princess is, she was killed by a traitor, and you should impulsively avenge her, I will not hold you accountable for this matter, so you can go back with King Heng, and I will find an excuse to arrange this matter properly. ”
Chu Xi's weak heart looked more like there were no three hundred taels of silver here, Shen Xianhe couldn't hold back the grief and hatred in his heart, and the resentment in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"Doesn't Your Majesty know? Since Your Majesty doesn't know, then forget it, but I will definitely investigate this matter, and when the time comes, please ask Your Majesty to administer justice for the eldest princess, after all, you can ascend to this throne at the beginning, and the eldest princess has contributed a lot! ”
Shen Xianhe said sarcastically.
Chu Xi met her gaze, and the two faced each other silently, and the air exuded a strong smell of gunpowder.
"I don't need you to remind me, I always keep in mind how I got this throne, I never dare to forget, so the truth of the eldest princess's death, after you find the real murderer, I will not let him go easily."
"In this case, then it is good, and when the time comes, please don't forget what you said today."
After speaking, Shen Xianhe pulled Su Nianjun, who was silent on the side, to get up, and left the imperial study without looking back, leaving Chu Xi far behind before slowing down.
"Xianhe, is it because you know the truth today that you are so out of shape?"
Su Nianjun looked at Shen Xianhe, who was depressed, his heart was full of guilt, he didn't know that something like this happened to her, and he kept complaining about her, not understanding her, and being angry with her.
Shen Xianhe slowed down, raised his eyes, and looked at Su Nianjun with a pair of eyes.
"Well, today I was originally probing Chen Han's mouth, wanting to inquire about Chu Xi's handle from his mouth, I didn't plan to kill him, it was him, he forced me, he knew what my mother meant to me, when my mother was leaving, I didn't even see her for the last time, how can I not hate, I hate it even more, obviously I should have stopped this from happening, if I had been careful and found out earlier, would it not have happened, and my mother would not have died?"
Shen Xianhe finally said the tormented words in his heart in front of Su Nianjun.
"I hate myself, I hate you too, you followed me every day, you were so powerful, why didn't you find out? If I could find out, or if you could find out, would Mother not be dead? I hate myself even more, why not be careful? I should have been aware of it, but I didn't know anything, and I was so engrossed in my plan that I ignored the anomaly she was already exhibiting. ”
Shen Xianhe's eyes were hot, tears overflowed her eyes, and her heart hurt like a knife, she knew in her heart that this matter had nothing to do with Su Nianjun, but she just couldn't help it, as if someone had come to share her grief, she didn't seem to be so painful.
Su Nianjun only stared at her and didn't speak for a long time.
Shen Xianhe collapsed and stopped, unable to support his body and squatted on the ground to cry silently.
"I don't feel happy at all when I kill Chen Han, on the contrary, it is even heavier than before, because in the end, he has the same blood flowing in my body, he is my half-brother, I don't want to kill him, I have thought about being his life, it is him, he forced me, he clearly knows how important my mother is to me, even if it is to exchange my own life for my mother's life, I am willing, I really don't want to."
Looking at Shen Xianhe, who was breaking down and crying, Su Nianjun felt powerless for the first time in his life, even more helpless than when Shen Xianhe was about to leave him, those unknown selfishness and darkness hidden in his heart tormented his heart at this moment, making him uncertain and calm.
He didn't even dare to look into Shen Xianhe's eyes, because he seemed to know a mistake that made Shen Xianhe unable to forgive him.
At that time, when he first arrived in the Daqing Dynasty, when he lurked beside Shen Xianhe, he never fell in love with her one day, so for his own purposes, in order to be able to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, and in order to shorten the time, he chose this path where there was no way back.
At that time, he didn't know that he would be entangled with Shen Xianhe, he was entangled, he thought about everything, but he didn't consider adding her to his future, so he broke into this catastrophe and killed her most important person by mistake.
Now, he didn't know how to face her, when Chu Xi and Chen Han found him to buy poison, he didn't know who it was used on this night, but today, through their conversation, he already knew who the medicine was used for.
