Chapter 524: Guilt (3)
Chonghua saw the blood stains on the letter, and didn't want to touch it, so he half-closed his eyes and said, "You come to read it." ”
Mrs. Chung said in the letter that she did everything.
Even letting Zhong Weiwei replace Zhong Xinran into the palace back then was her idea.
Zhong Nanjiang only focused on writing books and teaching disciples, and was not very enthusiastic about men and women.
She only has such a daughter, so she sees it as precious as her eyes, and her greatest wish is to let Zhong Xinran marry a good family.
The palace envoy told her that Zhong Xinran entered the palace not to be a female official or teach tea ceremony or anything, but to be a concubine for the first emperor.
And the first emperor was already terminally ill, and at this time he was happy to have secretly promised Chonghua.
She was reluctant to let her daughter jump into the fire pit at a young age, and wanted to promote the marriage between her daughter and Chonghua, so she hit Zhong Weiwei with the idea......
Later, when she came to the palace, Empress Dowager Wei showed her favor in every way, Zhong Xinran persuaded her not to stay in the palace, but she was also unwilling, so she had to fight, and then she met Mu Xi.
Mu Xi taught her how to perform soul magic, she suffered from having no place to put Sweet Mengxiang, it happened that Empress Dowager Wei rewarded the Linglong Ball, she accidentally discovered the mechanism of the Linglong Ball, so she hid the Sweet Mengxiang inside, pretended to be sick, and took advantage of the opportunity of Zhong Weiwei to take the emperor's eldest son to visit the patient, and attacked the emperor's eldest son.
But after that, because she was worried and afraid of the East Window incident, she was really scared sick, and after hearing that Mu Xi was exposed, she was completely scared and became seriously ill.
Originally, she didn't dare to touch the dementorship and sweet dream fragrance again, but this time the opportunity was too good, and she couldn't bear to be lonely for the rest of her life, so she couldn't help but do it......
It's that she's confused, it's that she deserves to die, it's that she's heinous, she deserves it, and it's not a pity to die.
It's just that all of this has nothing to do with Zhong Xinran, Zhong Xinran doesn't know anything, and often gets angry with her because she persuades her to be nice to Zhong Weiwei......
Zhong Xinran is innocent, and begs Chonghua not to implicate Zhong Xinran because of her.
The letter was neatly written and properly worded, and it can be seen that it took time and effort to write it carefully, and the words were also written by Mrs. Zhong herself, and it was not faked.
After Chonghua confirmed, he frowned and asked, "How could she have the opportunity to write a letter?" ”
Aunt Xia Hua blamed herself very much: "It's the slave's fault, she has been asking for a copy of the scriptures for the past few days, saying that it can relieve the pain, the slave and maid saw that she was very sick, and thought that it was impossible for her to let her communicate with outsiders, so she gave her a pen and paper, but I didn't expect her to write a letter......"
Chonghua thought for a while and said, "That's it, she is my master and wife, and she is a seriously ill person, so it's not wrong for you to be lenient with her at all." ”
The whole thing seems reasonable, but Aunt Xia Hua's intuition is not so simple, and many details need to be carefully studied to be sure.
However, Madame Zhong is dead, and the people around her don't know anything, so they can't continue to pursue it at all.
If you want to investigate it carefully, you can only punish Zhong Xinran - soul dementorship, in fact, Aunt Xia Hua herself can't do it.
That kind of evil art, as long as it is touched, you can't extricate yourself, and it is strictly forbidden for palace people to learn privately in the Holy Maiden's Palace, and once they are discovered, they will be executed.
Therefore, Zhong Xinran's previous sentence "Those who are good at detoxification are often also good at poisoning" is just a scare.
But Mrs. Zhong has committed suicide and pleaded guilty, and it is no longer possible to torture Zhong Xinran to extract a confession-
Their status is too special, so the matter can only be put to a temporary end.
"Handle this matter properly, don't let Taifu Zhong's reputation be tainted by the Kunlun Palace."
Chonghua rubbed his eyebrows and made a judgment: "Let Zhong come out happily to handle the funeral, just get by with the funeral." ”
Although he has a special status, he is contaminated with this unforgivable thing, and the funeral is only for the living, which does not mean that Chonghua has forgiven this behavior.
Aunt Xia Hua responded and asked Chonghua: "Zhong Xinran cried and begged to see Your Majesty, does Your Majesty want to see you?" ”
Chonghua said lightly: "No." ”
Aunt Xia Hua sent Chonghua away, and went to visit Zhong Xinran.
Zhong happily sat on the pestle and looked at the window expressionlessly.
It was a cloudy day, the light was dim, there was no brazier in the house, it was cold, she was cold, hungry, tired, and scared.
Aunt Xia Hua was called away in a hurry just now, and the time she looked at her when she left, she saw it clearly, as if she was shocked, and there was a little sympathy.
Something must have happened, what could happen?
After thinking about it, she has no father, brothers and sisters, and she is not intimate with several brothers and sisters, only one Mrs. Zhong is a close relative to her, so most likely Mrs. Zhong has an accident.
On such a cold day, and a seriously ill person, being suddenly detained like this, most of them are seriously ill, right?
Thinking that Mrs. Zhong might die of illness, Zhong Xinran was a little anxious, but she knew that no one would pay attention to her.
The entire Li Kingdom is deeply disgusted by the people and things involved in the Kunlun Palace, and asking for help is just a humiliation.
The door rang suddenly, and a cold wind blew in, which made Zhong Xin Xin breathless, and she looked at the door with a pale face.
Aunt Xia Hua stood at the door, against the light, unable to see clearly: "Your mother went." Your Majesty asked me to let you go out to deal with the funeral. ”
Although she had expected it, but at this moment, Zhong Xinran still couldn't accept it, she stood up abruptly and flipped the pestle.
The pestle smashed on her instep, but she didn't react at all, she looked at Aunt Xia Hua stupidly, her mouth was slightly open, and she couldn't say a word.
Aunt Xia Hua's expression and tone were light: "Your mother committed suicide in fear of sin, and Your Majesty did not pursue it, because it was already in the face of Ling Zun, and she didn't want to shame the scholars of Liguo, so the funeral was simple and couldn't be done in a big way." Tell you that you have to be measured. ”
"Suicide in fear of sin?" Zhong happily looked at Aunt Xia Hua's mouth blankly, a little incomprehensible.
Although Mrs. Zhong was a little mean and ignorant, she really didn't do anything heinous, except for ......
Unless it's to push everything down to yourself.
Aunt Xia Hua said with a straight face: "Your mother left a book to explain that she was in collusion with the remnants of Kunlun Palace, learned the art of soul dementoring, and did a lot of wrong things, including the ** incident a few days ago, which was also ...... by her."
Zhong Xinran's mind was chaotic, and there was a faint sense of happiness that she had escaped death, but she felt heart-wrenching pain, from now on, she was the only one in this world!
She wanted to cry, but she couldn't, because no one knew better than her why Mrs. Zhong took this dead end.
She threw herself on the ground, pressed her head against the ground, and after a long time, she cried hoarsely: "No, my aunt is not this kind of person, she won't do this kind of thing...... You must be mistaken......"
She cried very miserably and pitifully, but Aunt Xia Hua was unmoved, and said lightly: "You can do it yourself, although Your Majesty is very affectionate, no matter how much affection you have, it will be polished." (To be continued.) )
