Chapter 166: Cold Frost Appears in the Secret Passage
Late at night, everything is silent.
Miracle went to bed early after dinner because he was too tired during the day, while Nangong Liye and Situ Mujin left Yishou Palace after dinner, leaving only Han Xiluo and Lan Ling'er looking at each other.
"Why do you say that this Concubine Li is so calm, there is no movement until now."
"Don't worry, there's a good show to watch tonight."
"How do you know?"
"With what I know about her, both in modern times and in ancient times."
"Princess." Suddenly, Agni walked in from outside.
"Say."
"Princess Qiqi, the secret guard guarding at the entrance of the secret passage came back to report, and it seems that a dark shadow has entered the secret passage."
"Our people didn't move."
"The princess has ordered that no one should act without permission, so our people did not follow."
"Good." Han Xiluo's eyes sank, "Finally hooked." ”
"Then let's go first." Lan Ling'er couldn't wait to go over, but was stopped by Han Xiluo, "What are we doing in the past." ”
"Well, then we won't go, who will go?"
"Someone will pass." The corners of Han Xiluo's mouth hooked up a sneer, "Agni, notify the prince, just say that the fish has taken the bait." ”
"Yes." Agni quickly dodged and walked out.
"So what are we going to do?" Lan Ling'er didn't want to miss such a wonderful show.
"Wait." Han Xiluo lightly spit out such a word.
"Wait?" Suddenly, Lan Ling'er seemed to realize something.
"Do you really think Concubine Li would be so stupid to go to the secret passage by herself?"
"You're saying that Cold Frost will be Concubine Li's scapegoat?"
"yes, so all we have to do now is wait here."
Lan Ling'er finally dispelled the idea of going to the theater and sat down with Han Xiluo.
And inside the secret passage.
The black-clothed cold frost was captured by Nangong Liye on the spot, and when she lifted the face towel on her face, Nangong Liye said coldly: "Say, who instructed you to do this?" Seeing that Leng Shuang was about to tighten his teeth, with a look of wanting to kill and listen to his respect, the corners of Nangong Liye's mouth hooked up a cruel smile.
"I want to be a scapegoat, hehe, is your master underestimating this king too much." Nangong Liye's voice was cold and piercing, like ten thousand cold swords piercing into Leng Shuang's body, making her shiver involuntarily, but Leng Shuang still gritted her teeth and refused to say anything.
"The emperor has arrived!"
Suddenly, a large group of people poured in outside the secret passage, and Nangong Zhen was surrounded by everyone in the middle, and quickly walked towards Leng Shuang, Leng Shuang suddenly trembled, she didn't expect the emperor to come so quickly.
"Ye, what's going on?" Nangong Zhen stood in front of them, looking at the cold frost captured by Nangong Liye, his eyes suddenly sank.
"The emperor should ask her himself." Nangong Liye was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he took the lead in walking out of the secret passage.
Nangong Zhen ordered the cold frost to be brought back to the council hall, and Nangong Liye and the others also followed.
"Cold frost! Say, what the hell is going on! Nangong Zhen's gloomy face looked a little oozing.
"The slave has nothing to say." Leng Shuang said lightly, she had already thought of this ending, so she behaved very calmly.
"Why did you sneak into the secret passage tonight? You dug that secret passage? Who instructed you? Nangong Zhen asked several questions in a row, but saw that Leng Shuang had no intention of answering.
Nangong Zhen's face became more and more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Say, does the prince's death have anything to do with you?" ”
Cold Frost remained silent.
Nangong Zhen was completely enraged by her, and shouted loudly: "Come on, torture me!" I don't believe her mouth, I can't pry it open tonight! ”
"That's it, this is the square scarf that the king found on her, and the emperor took it to the people in the Tai Hospital to test it, and he knew the relationship." Nangong Liye interrupted Nangong Zhen's words, threw a square scarf in front of Nangong Zhen's imperial table, and then left without looking back.
Cold frost, just a scapegoat, tonight, just a small episode. The best is yet to come.
"You!" Looking at the back of Nangong Liye leaving, Nangong Liye's eyes became even more gloomy, and Nangong Liye's disrespect for him made him feel more and more uncomfortable. It seems that Nangong Liye's existence is a threat to him.
"Come on, take the square towel to the hospital."
"Yes."
Nangong Zhen stared coldly at the cold frost on the ground with his head bowed and silent.
"Check her left shoulder!"
"Yes." A vicious-looking grandmother walked in and ripped off the clothes on Cold Frost's left shoulder, and a scar that was still oozing blood appeared in Nangong Zhen's eyes.
I saw Nangong Zhen's teeth clenching, his hands clenched into fists, and his voice was cold and terrifying: "Before Zhe'er died, did you go to Chuxiu Palace." ”
"The emperor has already seen it, hasn't he?" The corners of Cold Frost's mouth hooked up with a desperate sneer.
"Say! What are you going to do in Chuxiu Palace! Does the prince's death have anything to do with you? ”
"Yes, the slave did go to Chuxiu Palace before the prince died."
"Keep talking to me!"
"It was also the slave who poisoned the prince first." This is the result that Concubine Li wants, and this is also her way of repaying her kindness, and when she dies, she is free.
Syllable! Nangong Zhen slapped the table into two sections, "You damn bitch!" Say, "Who commanded you?" Nangong Zhen's mind came to Concubine Li's delicate and beautiful face, could it really be her!
"There is no one to command the slaves." Cold Frost flatly denied it.
"Oh? The princess was very curious, why did you kill the prince and blame the prince? Han Xiluo didn't know when he appeared in the council hall.
"Because the slave hates the princess!"
"Hate this princess? Why? ”
"Niangniang was originally Lengshuang's life-saving benefactor, but since the princess came back, she has been against Niangniang everywhere, and the slave can't look past it, so she ......" Lengshuang didn't continue.
"If it's because of this that you have murderous intentions towards the prince, are you the princess, am I an idiot, or the emperor is an idiot." Han Xiluo smiled coldly.
"That's the way it is, the slave is definitely not lying!" Leng Shuang was a little stunned, what's wrong with this princess, she can help her son clear her name, but she still doesn't give up, isn't it.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out soon." After that, Han Xiluo no longer glanced at Leng Shuang, and turned to Nangong Zhen and said: "If the emperor believes this servant, he will kill or kill you, if the emperor also has doubts." Then you might as well take her to Fengzao Palace, and we will ask her face to face. ”
"Fengzao Palace?" Nangong Zhen's face became more and more ugly, "Why do you want to go to Fengzao Palace, does the princess think that this matter is related to Concubine Li?" ”
"Hehe, a little slave has the courage to poison the prince, do you think it's possible, emperor?" There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Han Xiluo's mouth, if Nangong Zhen really went crazy to that point, she really didn't mind letting the country of Nanshu change hands.
"There are all human and material evidence, doesn't the princess want to clear the suspicion of the prince?" Nangong Zhen didn't know why, there were always two forces fighting in his mind, one side was on Han Xiluo's side, and the other side was desperately dragging him towards Concubine Li's side, and his head seemed to be hurting again.
"Yes, but I will never clear my name from a scapegoat." Han Xiluo smiled meaningfully.
Nangong Zhen didn't answer, just stared at Han Xiluo coldly, and Han Xiluo stood there calmly, as if there was no one else in the entire hall except her.
"Come on, set up the Fengzao Palace." After being silent for a long time, Nangong Zhen slowly said this.
The corners of Han Xiluo's mouth smiled slightly, and then he turned around and left the council hall first. For her, the death or non-death of Cold Frost has nothing to do with her, the most important thing is the person behind Cold Frost.
Outside the Fengzao Palace.
"Slaves (slaves) see the emperor." When the slave palace maids saw Nangong Trace appear in Fengzao Palace, they all knelt down.
"Where's the mother?"
"Back to the emperor, Niangniang has a headache today, and she has gone to bed early."
"Went to bed early?" Nangong Zhen asked with some confusion.
"Back to the emperor, yes."
"Where is the lady's personal palace maid Cold Frost?" Nangong Zhen continued to ask.
The servant who knelt on the ground and replied was stunned, not knowing why the emperor asked about Leng Shuang, but how could he question the emperor's question, so he replied: "Leng Shuang has been serving Niang Niang in the dormitory. ”
"Oh? Always in the dormitory? Hum! Nangong Zhen snorted coldly, and then walked towards Concubine Li's bedroom.
The chaotic footsteps outside had already woken up Concubine Li, who was asleep, and saw her hurriedly put on her clothes and a smock, and then walked out.
"What's going on?" Concubine Li asked in a deep voice.
"Hui Niangniang, is it ......" Before the palace maid's words were finished, Nangong Zhen threw the cold frost on the ground in front of her.
"Your Majesty? Cold cream, this, what's going on? Concubine Li looked at Nangong Scar with a blank face and a surprised face.
"I guess I'm going to ask my concubine. What the hell is going on! Nangong Zhen's cold and angry voice slowly spread throughout the entire dormitory.
"Concubine, concubine doesn't know what the emperor means? Is it the cold cream that offended Long Yan? Concubine Li looked at Nangong with some trepidation.
"Concubine Ai really doesn't know what she did?" Nangong Zhen's eyes stared at Concubine Li, as if she wanted to see through everything about her.
"The concubine really doesn't know!" Concubine Li looked at Nangong Jian firmly and with some grievances, with a little hurt in her eyes.
Nangong Zhen was confused at that moment, could it be that Concubine Li really didn't know anything, all this was done by this cheap maid, but would a little palace maid dare to murder the prince? This doesn't make sense at all, and it's because of his hatred for Han Xiluo.
"Tetsu'er's death?" Nangong muttered.
"Zhe'er?" As soon as Zhe'er was mentioned, Concubine Li's tears flowed down, "Zhe'er is the emperor's child, and the concubine has always regarded him as her own, no matter how dissatisfied Zhe'er is with the concubine, the concubine has never scolded him for half a sentence, thinking about him everywhere, does the emperor still suspect the concubine?" Concubine Li looked at Nangong Scar with a distressed face.
"This ......" Nangong Zhen hesitated, Concubine Li was right, no matter what, in front of him, Concubine Li was obedient to Zhe'er, even if Zhe'er was unreasonable, she would laugh at it, how could such a person attack Zhe'er.
"Oh? Are you sure what you're saying is the truth? Han Xiluo's voice slowly came from outside the hall.
Concubine Li and Nangong Zhen turned their heads at the same time, only to see Han Xiluo, Nangong Liye, Situ Mujin, Lan Ling'er and their party slowly walking towards the hall.
Concubine Li's face sank in a place where Nangong Scar couldn't see, and then she turned her head to look at Leng Shuang, and glanced at her, Leng Shuang nodded slightly, but in the depths of her eyes, there was a trace of despair and sadness that was imperceptible.
