Chapter 165: A Raccoon Dog
Another day passed, and Qianwu rushed back, he had just arrived in Kyoto, and immediately received news that Concubine An Guifei had been stripped of her title and sent to the cold palace. He didn't have time to change his clothes, so he hurried to Xu's mansion non-stop.
On this day, Ruxu happened to be idle, sitting in the atrium drinking tea.
"What's going on, sir? He'd been sitting there for almost two hours. "One of the maidservants in the house saw it strange when she saw it.
"She was anxious and had to suppress herself, so she sat there." Jin Se passed by,
Of course, she was also waiting for a thousand fogs.
The maidservant girl on the side saluted her and hurried away, and Jin Se glanced at Ruxu over there again.
Qianwu arrived at the gate of Xu's mansion, got out of the carriage and strode into the atrium, and just after entering the atrium, he saw Ruxu.
Seeing his eyes light up, Ru Wang immediately stood up and trotted over. Qianwu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her, and opened her arms to hold her in her arms, "It's good that you're okay." ”
"What's wrong?" As promised.
"I just returned to Kyoto and heard the news of my mother's abolition, so I thought you were also implicated." Qianwu took a deep breath and seemed to be reassured, "Why was Niangniang abolished, and what happened?" ”
"I'll explain this to you later." Ru Xu interrupted him, "There is something more important that I need your help with now...... Hua Yulou was brought into Wuzong Tower. This matter was carried out in secret, and I am afraid that his identity was revealed. Because of his special status, I can't interfere, so I can only wait for you to come back. ”
Qianwu twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Don't worry about it first, Misty has already gone to receive the news." ”
"By the way, there is a happy event that I didn't tell you." Ruxu smiled with relief, "Ah Xin is awake." ”
Qianwu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, and Ruxu took him to see Xu Chongxin.
Xu Chongxin was still the same, but he was not so scared after seeing Qianwu, and even reached out and pulled Qianwu's sleeve, and laughed stupidly.
"It seems that although he has forgotten you, his feelings for you have not changed in his consciousness." Ruxu was relieved.
Qianwu smiled and said to Xu Chongxin, "Ah Xin." Your name is Ah Xin, you know? ”
Xu Chongxin looked at him directly, his eyes rolled slightly, and a sentence suddenly came out of his mouth, "Ah Xin, Lord Wang!" ”
After that, he smiled cutely.
Jin Feng and Ruxu were stunned, and then their eyes turned red.
Qianwu stretched out his hand and touched Xu Chongxin's hair, and at this time, the fog arrived, and he came in from outside and saluted, "Lord Wang." ”
Ruxu looked at her, "Ah Xin is awake, do you want to see him." ”
Wu Miao glanced at Ah Xin on the bed from a distance, tears in her eyes, and she nodded in a choked voice and said, "Now that I've seen it...... Lord Wang, there is something to report in the fog. ”
When did she just see him at the door, and when did she tell her about Xu Chongxin's recent situation, she knew that Xu Chongxin needed to adapt now, so she didn't bother him again.
Qianwu looked at Ru Xu, then got up from the side of the bed, and glanced at Xu Chongxin again, "Let's go out first." ”
Ruxu followed him out of the house together, and Wu Miao reported the situation to the two outside the door.
"I believe that Mr. Xu knows more about Niangniang's affairs, and the fog will not be repeated. Another important piece of information we got was about the young man of Hua Yulou. "Foggy told the two of them about it.
It's been going on for days. At that time, lop had been locked up in Wuzong Building for four or five days, Hua Yulou thought about it again and again, and finally decided to exchange his death-free gold medal for lop's life. At that time, the Emperor Taishang loved his father King Lin very much, so he gave him a gold medal to avoid death. Then King Lin transferred it to Huayulou.
Hua Yulou took advantage of this gold medal to show his identity to the emperor, and after many negotiations, the emperor promised him to save his life.
But after all, King Lin was charged with rebellion, and the emperor still decided to escort him back to Xifeng Kingdom and hand him over to King Xifeng to deal with. In the past few days, he has been locked up in Wuzong Building for investigation, and he heard that he will be secretly sent to Xifeng in two days.
"No wonder the lop can still pick up a life...... Ru Xu muttered, "it seems that he is for Gyokuro." ”
The methods of Wuzonglou are absolutely unimaginable to outsiders, usually those who enter will be sent to the crematorium sideways within four or five days, and there are almost no people who can come out alive. It seems that Hua Yulou also knows this, so he saved his life with the gold medal for avoiding death. Although the lop ear was dying and seriously injured, there was still room for healing after all.
Ask what the world is like, and teach people to live and die. Ru Xu's heart suddenly appeared with this sentence.
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Yulu just regards lop as a servant girl or a servant, but Hua Yulou knows that there is much more to it, and Yulu may not know about the good others of lop, but he knows.
"This kind of life-for-life thing is really not cost-effective." Qianwu said with his arms crossed.
Ruxu looked at him, "What are your plans?" ”
"The quickest way now is to take prisoners." Chiki replied.
Ruxu thought about it and affirmed this. After all, so many years have passed since King Lin's rebellion, and the matter happened in a neighboring country, and now it is not easy to turn the tables. What's more, it's too late.
"Master is in my house, you can discuss this matter." Ruxu said, "The emperor summoned me, I want to go to the palace now, I think it's because of Niangniang's business." ”
Master? Do you mean Bei Xiao or Jin Se? If it is Jinse, the title should be the door master, so the meaning of Ruxu refers to...... Don't be shy. Qianwu looked at Ruxu and felt a little strange in her heart.
After Xu finished speaking, he saluted Qianwu, turned around and went back to the house to change his clothes and enter the palace. Qianwu went to the guest room to see Farewell Xiao.
In Chengyang Palace, Ruxu knelt in front of the emperor's table. There is no palace maid around, and it seems that what the emperor wants to say is very secret.
"You investigated the matter of the concubine's murder of Concubine Xiang, but what else did you find?" The emperor buttoned the table, picked up a book of folds and looked at it pretendedly, as if he didn't care much about this topic, and just asked casually.
As if Xu was a mirror in his heart, he sneered in his heart, but his face was blank, "The minister doesn't know what the emperor is referring to, except for Mama Yan Jing and Imperial Doctor Jiang, the minister has not found anything else." ”
"I don't care if you find out anything else, this matter is over, stop your investigation from now on." The emperor put down the fold, "If you do find something, I hope you can swallow it in your stomach, otherwise you can only end up with An Concubine." ”
Is this a threat to me? Ru Xu is not angry.
"The distance of the court and the depth of the harem are unimaginable. The people in power are a little helpless, and they are forced to do so, you are a talent, and I don't want to use coercive means against you. You're smart enough to understand what I mean. The emperor looked at it.
Helpless? What a helpless move! It's just to satisfy one's own selfishness.
Ru Xu lowered his eyes and said, "The minister really doesn't know what 'other things' you are referring to, the emperor, this matter has ended, and the minister will naturally not continue to investigate." As for what you just said, the minister also understands, please rest assured. ”
The emperor nodded, "In that case, you can go to the cold palace for me." ”
Ru Xu's eyelids jumped, it seems that the emperor is going to give death to An Concubine.
"Yes, Lord's Order."
Then Ruxu led the two eunuchs to the cold palace, and when they arrived in front of An Concubine's house, Ruxu asked the two to wait at the door for a while, he had something to say to Niangniang.
The room in the cold palace was dilapidated, cobwebs were densely covered in all corners, and An Concubine was wearing gray cloth and white clothes and pretending to sleep on a chair with her eyes closed, her hair and clothes were not messy.
She saw Ruxu come in, opened her eyes slightly, and then hooked the corners of her mouth, "Why is Lord Jin here?" Do you want to see how the main palace looks now? ”
Ruxu walked over and sat opposite her, propped one elbow on the table and leaned forward, "Today I am here to talk to Niangniang, and by the way, I will do things for the emperor." ”
Concubine An listened to her words and knew that the emperor had sent her to death. So he opened his eyes and glared at Ru Xudao, "Lord Jin doesn't have to be proud...... Perhaps the time of death of adults is not far off. ”
Investigating Concubine Xiang is stepping on the emperor's sore feet, which is self-defeating.
Ruxu lowered his head and smiled, "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" You feel that you control the emperor and use him for many of your own purposes. But is that really the case? ”
"Did you send someone to kill Xiao Jinzhi back then? You are jealous of Concubine Xiang and afraid that Xiao Jinzhi's true identity will be discovered. Ruxu asked Concubine An, "But have you ever thought that the emperor has the ability to kill her, why do you want to keep her in a breath and wait for you to brutally dismember her body?" ”
"You...... You even know? An Concubine's fingers trembled.
"Not only do I know about it, I know it...... Xiao Jinzhi is the emperor's biological daughter, including Xiao Bei. "Ru Ziruo sat down, "The emperor did this, but he just wanted to kill Xiao Jinzhi with your hand, which could not only alleviate his own sins, but also pull you into the water to control you." ”
"You, you've found out ......" An Concubine suppressed her trembling, but the voice in her throat still couldn't hide her anger and fear.
Ruxu folded his arms, "Yes, I have found out the ins and outs of the whole thing." You strangled Concubine Xiang, killed Xiao Jinzhi, and killed Liuli with your own hands, putting the blame on the lop ear...... I know it all. ”
"You think you're smart, but you don't know how many times you've been used by the emperor." Ruxu looked at her, "Do you think that in the Prince's Mansion back then, it was Concubine Xiang who pushed your child into the water?" In fact, your child fell into the water by himself, and he was rescued later, and he still has a trace of life......"
An Concubine's eyes widened, and she suppressed her heart and gasped.
"It is the emperor's instruction, saying that he has such a catastrophe in his life, and the mandate of heaven is like this, and it cannot go against the will of heaven." Ru Xu sneered, "I ordered someone to go to the Tai Hospital to inquire about this matter, and I learned that all the doctors who had been diagnosed back then were given to death." ”
"Do you know why the emperor wants to see death and not save him?" Ruxu looked at An Concubine, "You are a princess of another country, and you are a person of different races and surnames." How could the emperor let a descendant of a foreign race be the throne of the crown prince? So he can only be ruthless and not save him when he dies. Concubine Xiang is just a scapegoat. ”
