Chapter 522: Death at the hands of the Empress
When Qing'an arrived, Zhao Yuanying was standing there, his eyes constantly looking around. I didn't let go of the slightest, and I searched vigilantly at all times.
"Yuan Ying, what's wrong?" She walked up to Zhao Yuanying's side and asked.
Zhao Yuanying retracted his gaze with a heavy expression: "Just now I saw a voice sneakily walking past here. "This is a harem, and no one should be like this.
Qing An frowned: "When you are chasing, can you see the other party's appearance clearly?" ”
Zhao Yuanying shook his head: "No, after I chased here, the person disappeared." ”
It's just a sneaky person, and there's no need to care about it at all. But Qing'an always felt that things were not so simple, and she still wanted to figure out this matter.
"Yuan Ying, you go there, I'll go to the other side." Qing An was separating two directions, and her intuition told her that that person was likely to be a concubine.
Regarding this proposal, Zhao Yuanying was not at ease: "Miss, you are alone, I am worried that the other party will be unfavorable to you." ”
"It's okay, don't go far." Qing An was looking left and right, "In case of danger, you will definitely be able to hear me scream, and it will not be too late to rush over when the time comes." ”
Zhao Yuanying was still not at ease, and her brows were furrowed. However, she couldn't bear Qing Anzai's begging, and in desperation, she could only agree for the time being.
Qing An was walking to the left, the long alley in front of him, with red walls and green tiles, and there were not even palace maids and eunuchs, which was really disturbing. She didn't rush out, but walked cautiously.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of Qing Anzai's eyes again.
I don't know where the courage came from, Qing Anzai didn't think much about it, for fear of losing people, so he immediately chased after him. This time, the other party did not avoid her again, but led Qing An into the distance. Worried that the other party would cheat, Qing An didn't take a few steps, she shouted: "Yuan Ying, here!" ”
Zhao Yuanying, who was on the other end, followed the sound desperately after hearing the sound.
In this way, the three of them ran through the long and winding alleys of the palace.
When Qing An was chasing, she also recognized that the figure was not recognized, it was the concubine. It's not a way to chase after her like this, she always has to find a way to stop the concubine. There happened to be a bamboo basket on the side of the road, so she picked it up and smashed it at the back of the concubine.
The concubine didn't expect Qing Anzai, who had no martial arts, to attack in the back, and if she was not careful, she would fall directly to the ground. also seized this opportunity, Qing An walked in front of the concubine and grabbed her.
The two looked at each other, and with just a glance, Qing An sensed that something was wrong with the concubine in front of him. No matter how unkempt she is, there is no way to forget those vicious eyes.
"You're not crazy at all!" Qing An saw it.
A madman doesn't have such a look, madness is simply pretending.
"What is the purpose of you leading me all the way!" She then asked.
At a glance, it was clear that the concubine's eyes were full of contempt, and she chuckled disdainfully: "What is my purpose? Of course, before I die, I came to tell you about the queen. I think you should also be investigating the affairs of the Yuwen family now, it just so happens that I have evidence in my hand that can confirm that the Yuwen family falsified evidence many years ago and framed the Shangguan family, do you want it? ”
How would she know?
Qing An's brows furrowed, his eyes full of suspicion. And the concubine is the one who has been in the harem for decades, how could she not see Qing Anzai's thoughts, and chuckled: "I'll tell you honestly, I pretended to be crazy and stupid before, I just want to live." All men want to live, not die. There was a trace of resentment in his eyes, "But the queen refuses to let me go, I can't help it." ”
"What do you want?" Qing An asked straight to the point.
The concubine smiled: "Sure enough, the third lady is a cheerful person, so I'll say it directly." I will give you the evidence, but I want to leave the palace. ”
"I promise you." Qing An said, "But you have to say something that will make you believe you." ”
The concubine thought for a moment, and the corners of her mouth raised: "Of course you can!" ”
Next, the concubine told everything she knew.
"Back then, the Shangguan family was in turmoil, and almost the entire court was controlled by them, and the emperor was also secretly jealous, which also gave the Xiao family and the Yuwen family a favorable opportunity later. They forged letters and caused their men to give signs of soldiers moving near the capital. But that's not the point, it's your mother. The concubine thought back to the past, and there was no trace of remorse in her eyes, even with pride. It's just that Qing'an captured the poisonous hatred in her pride.
"Your mother and Ji Ziheng's biological mother, Shangguan Wanyun, are both good sisters, and back then, they were all the four flowers of the capital along with me and the queen. Shangguan Wanyun's appearance can be said to be second only to Ji Ziheng's biological mother, and even the two are still a little similar. Back then, your mother was the daughter of the Qin family, and the queen came to me to use your mother, intending to solve the Qing family at that time. never thought that her mistakes did not affect the Qing family, but caused ironclad evidence of the destruction of the Shangguan family. ”
Scenes of the past have been unfolded, and what Qing An didn't expect was that her biological mother would be involved in this matter.
"My mother was wiped out of Shangguan's family?" She still couldn't believe the news.
If that's the case, wouldn't he become Ziheng's enemy?
For a while, Qing Anzai's line fell to the bottom with her words.
"Yes!" The concubine admitted it, and didn't even mind putting a knife in her chest, "Your mother is stupid to death, she will believe whatever I say, you know?" I said that as long as she gave the letter to Qing Yan according to my wishes, she would be able to be with Qing Yan. She did so, but unfortunately it was delayed somehow. As for the details of the matter, you can go to a secret compartment in Yun Guifang in the south of the city. I have already asked someone to put the evidence in there, you can go and see how stupid your mother is! ”
Qing Anzai's hands began to tremble, she knew that the concubine had reached this point, and there was no need to lie at all. But according to her words, didn't her mother's family die because of the calculations of the concubine and the queen?
A kind of sorrow and anger that did not belong to Qing Anzai surged up in an instant, and he couldn't suppress this emotion at all.
"Oh!" The concubine suddenly remembered something again, "Your mother was not assigned to the border pass, and she was lucky enough to be taken out by the emperor, and then she was promised to be married to Qingyan." However, her life was not so good, and she died at the hands of the queen in the end. ”
This sentence can be regarded as destroying Qing An's last defense in her heart, her eyes were red, and she looked at the concubine in shock: "What did you say?" I want to die at the hands of the Queen? ”
