At this moment, Ji Gongyan was standing in Shenhou's bedroom, looking down beside her and sitting on the bed and insisting that Bao Xi was the murderer, his heartbeat was very violent, he felt a burst of scalp numbness, and even a little dizzy, it was hard to believe that what Shen Hou said was the truth, he waited for Shen Hou to wake up, but what he waited for was her identification of Bao Xi?

He waited for so long, and hoped that Empress Shen would say that the person who was going to kill him was Xiong Ning, or Xiuxiu, or Mrs. Wei...... In short, whoever it is, it just can't be a compliment! But the words in Shenhou's mouth were like sharp blades, piercing Ji Gongyan's heart, and her expression was also full of mocking gestures, "Does the king remember what his concubine once said?" ”

Ji Gongyan frowned slightly, since Empress Shen was beaten into the cold palace, he rarely came to see her again. She had such a deep conversation with him, and he was dissatisfied with the way she had educated Yijiu and the attitude she had chosen to behave in the world, and Shenhou had said that he had concocted so many reasons to convince himself of his dislike of her because he was bored with her, because she was not good enough, not because he was too desperate and unkind. Empress Shen also asked Ji Gongyan, if one day he found that what Bao Xi did was no different from himself, and the Bo Fu he brought out was as ruthless as Yi Jiu, would he also look at Bao Xi the way he looked at himself at that time?

This question is now answered, because the hypothesis in Shenhou's mouth seems to have been put on the table and turned into reality.

Shen Hou continued, "The concubine knows that the king will not embarrass her, and she can't bear to embarrass her, how rare it is for the concubine to pick up this life, the concubine knows it, and she doesn't want to give her life because she told the truth, the king wants the concubine to shut up and keep silent, and the concubine will do it." The concubine is telling you this, not because I want the king to do to the concubine in the future, but because I want the king to know the truth, and I don't want to see my husband being kept in the dark by a woman with a bad heart. ”

Ji Gongyan frowned deeply, he didn't know how to answer Empress Shen, at this moment, it felt like he had tried his best to protect Bao Xi behind him, and everyone kept accusing this woman of not being sinister with her, but he didn't want to believe it, and still fought for her like a knight. But in the end, the woman stabbed herself in the back, and all his past protection was now as ridiculous as a joke.

Coming back from the cold palace of Empress Shen, Ji Gongyan sat in front of the table in the Xiande Palace, holding a pen in his hand, and his mind was full of what these ladies said in his ears, Xiong Ning, Xiuxiu and Shenhou, the word of the public pushed the charge of murderer to the head of Bao Xi, everyone persuaded him bitterly with a kind attitude of dying and good, when he went to question her, she seemed to have to explain, but before he could open his mouth, he was invited away by Mrs. Wei.

The people of the Xiande Hall entered the house, brought the dinner to the table and said to Ji Gongyan, "King, it's time to eat!" ”

"Huh?" Ji Gongyan was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses and looked at the dinner on the table to understand what this Xiren had said to him just now, he gently knocked on the table with his hand, "You go down first, and the widow will use it later." ”

"Yes," the person responded, took two steps and turned his head to look at Ji Gongyan, "The king is worried about the affairs of a few mothers?" ”

Ji Gongyan sighed, his body was a little stiff due to the exhaustion of his body, "Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Zheng, and Empress Shen all said to the widow that this situation was set up by the Praise Queen, and the Praise Lady killed the Queen, and then blamed Mrs. Zheng, the Praise Queen's treatment for the Shen Queen, but now even the Shen Queen, do you think...... Should the widow believe them? ”

Xiren smiled, bent down and said humbly, "Since the king asked this question, doesn't it mean that he already has the answer in his heart?" ”

"What do you mean?" Ji Gongyan was a little puzzled.

"The king has chosen to believe in the praise, but the praise still owes the king an explanation...... The king just wanted Bao to confirm his guess later, not that she really felt like the accusations of Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Zheng and Empress Shen. Otherwise, why would the king bother here with whether there are still three people accusing her? If the king doubts, even if she doesn't seem to have anything to do with this matter, the king will definitely be convinced, and he will not hesitate or waver here at all. Xiren explained Ji Gongyan's thoughts to him, as if he was an outsider's shrewdness.

"But......" Ji Gongyan himself laughed, as if he had untied a dead knot, "It's a pity that her words are too full, she is willing to explain, and she is forced to die, what can the widow let her say?" How do you get her to say? If she didn't open her mouth, the widow didn't know what was going on, and everyone's confession pointed to a person who was not a sinner! ”

"Does the king think that the queen must have known what was going on?" Xiren asked, "Empress Bao is just a person who was blamed, and then involved in a murder case, and now all the parties involved in this case are pointing the finger at Empress Bao, even the king is suspicious, can Empress Bao see through all the clues, deduce the truth of the matter?" The king can't see clearly, so why not? She is also trying her best to restore all the clues she has found, and she may be afraid that even if she tells the king her suspicions, the king may not believe it, she is Mingzhi with a death, and it is used to tell the king that she is not afraid of death, will she be afraid to admit that she wants to kill Shenhou? ”

Xi Ren's words woke up Ji Gong Yan, he, the authority, only saw the direction of the situation clearly at this moment, he stood up and nodded to Xi Ren, admitting that he said this reason, thinking of this, he hurriedly went in the direction of the East Palace, but what is different from the past is that today's East Palace is extremely quiet, and the quiet is extraordinary.

The sky was already getting dark, but there was still no one in charge of the main hall of the East Palace.

Walking into the main hall, Ji Gongyan stepped on a soft thing under his feet, he kicked it, his heart twitched, he felt that something was wrong, and slowly lowered his head and looked at a person lying on the ground.

"Bao Xi was killed?" This thought suddenly rushed into Ji Gongyan's mind, he was so frightened that he even seemed careful to breathe, leaned down to probe the person's breathing, she still had even breathing, he probed the person's pulse again, the person just fainted. He anxiously summoned the people outside the door, lit the lights in the hall to look for Bao Xi, turned over one after another people lying on the ground, and it was always just some people from the East Palace, and finally the tired and panting people reported to Ji Gongyan, who was still looking for Bao Xi, "King Qiqi, I didn't find Bao Xi!" ”

Ji Gongyan stood up straight, his brows furrowed slightly, "How could it not be?" He muttered to himself, thinking of all the possibilities, when Bai Ri Bofu confronted Mrs. Chu, Qin Bo was still there, but in a blink of an eye, he didn't know where he went. At that time, Ji Gongyan was immersed in the grief of Mrs. Chu's death, and did not notice the disappearance of Ying Kai, and then recalled the audacity of Bai Ri Bofu, but he was afraid that he had already arranged his own back road, Ji Gongyan asked vigilantly, "Is Bofu here?" ”

Xiren looked at Ji Gongyan and shook his head, "It's not here either, and the newcomer Rong Qian doesn't know where to go." ”

Ji Gongyan's hands clenched together, gritting his teeth with hatred, "Not there?" Give me a question, a palace gate, a palace gate to ask where Bofu went? The widow doesn't believe that three big living people can disappear out of thin air in the palace? His tone was so angry that he startled the man, and he was a little nervous to speak, and hurriedly answered yes and ran out of the door.

Ji Gongyan originally refused to believe that Bao Xi was a murderer, and this person also felt that with her understanding of Bao Xi, she should not be stupid enough to kill someone and leave so many flaws for others, the more reasonable this matter is pushed to Bao Xi's body, the more unreasonable it is. But at this moment, Empress Bao actually took Bofu and Rong Qian away, which was equivalent to confirming everyone's accusations against her, and this person hammered her palm fiercely, feeling very worthless for Bao Xi not being able to sink this last breath.

The news from several palace gates was that Bofu and his entourage had indeed left from the south gate, and this person kept an eye on it, inquired about the details, and then went back to the East Palace to return to King Zhou, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage should have gone out from the south gate!" ”

"South Gate?" Ji Gongyan immediately stood up and was about to go in the direction of the stable.

Xiren said, "Judging from the description from the mouth of the palace guard, the whole thing is a little strange! ”

"What's strange?" Ji Gongyu asked impatiently.

"The queen should have been helped out by Rong Qian, and then she was carried into the carriage, His Royal Highness the prince said that the queen was unwell, and there were some things to deal with when he left the palace, and the guards did not dare to stop him. I guessed below, but I was afraid that the queen would be the same as the people in the East Palace, and she would be stunned! The person analyzed.

"Alright, got it!" Ji Gongyan waved his hand impatiently, strode towards the outside of the East Palace, and after a few steps, he remembered something and turned his head and asked, "Do you see clearly what direction they are heading?" ”

"To the west," said the man.

"Ask someone to lead a team of ......" Ji Gongyu said and paused, and did not continue, this matter must not be big, otherwise it will not be closed in the end, the people who fled are his wife and son, what would he say if he asked the guards to surround them? He shook his head, "Forget it, don't let more people know about this matter, you can leave some people to clean up the mess in the East Palace!" ”

"Yes," said the man, looking a little worried, "the king is going to chase him alone?" ”

Ji Gongyu nodded slightly.

"I heard that it was Uncle Qin's guards who took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage, and it would be dangerous for the king to chase after him alone!" Everyone said worriedly, "After all, the relationship between the king and His Royal Highness the crown prince is ......."
