Chapter 423: Secret

Wei Qingqing wanted to meet Emperor Wu and reveal all kinds of speculations and speculations in his heart, but was stopped by Chen Jinbao.

"Princess Rui, after the emperor left the Qinzheng Palace, his condition suddenly worsened, and the imperial doctor instructed him to recuperate in the past few days, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you." Chen Jinbao's euphemistic words stopped Wei Qingqing.

"Father-in-law Chen, human life is at stake, can't the emperor really see me?" Wei Qingqing asked unrelentingly.

Chen Jinbao didn't give an inch, and knocked Wei Qingqing with cryptic words, "The emperor is aggravated by Mama Zhang's case, and the princess still don't use the closed case to disturb the emperor, lest the emperor get angry and hurt the dragon body again!" ”

"Chen Gonggong ......"

"Princess, please go back, the miscellaneous family still has important things to do."

Wei Qingqing wanted to say more, but Chen Jinbao interrupted her without saying anything, and then hurriedly gave a salute and left.

Wei Qingqing couldn't see Emperor Wu, so he could only turn back to Cining Palace.

After she returned to Cining Palace, she couldn't sit still, and after thinking about it, she found that only dust could solve all kinds of mysteries in her heart!

She immediately set off to visit Chen, hoping to learn the truth from him.

She has helped the Criminal Division investigate many cases before and after, so she has been courteous all the way after arriving at the Criminal Division.

She asked to see Dust, and the people from the Punishment Department also made it easier for her to take her to the cell where Dust was.

She approached the cell, and from a distance, she saw Chen, dressed in a white robe, standing in the depths of the cell with his hands in his hands, looking up slightly at the small window above her head that was shining with light.

He slowly turned around when he heard the movement, and he didn't seem surprised at all to see that it was Wei Qingqing, "Master Wei is here." ”

"You didn't kill people, did you?" Wei Qingqing asked straight to the point.

"Well, poor monks never kill indiscriminately." Lichen replied in a light tone.

Wei Qingqing lowered her voice and said the conjectures in her heart one by one, "The so-called someone saw you kill someone, but in fact, it was all set up by others, and the purpose was to make you take off the mask on your face, right?" ”

"Yes." Lichen replied without hesitation.

Wei Qingqing only vaguely had such a guess earlier, but now after asking the back of the dust, he affirmed the guess in his heart - someone wants to make a fuss about Chen's face!

In the case of Mama Zhang's murder, in fact, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, the real purpose of the other party was not to kill Mama Zhang, but to use Mama Zhang's death to force the dust to show her true face in front of Emperor Wu!

What they really want is the life of the dust!

But how can the other party be sure that once Chen reveals his true face in front of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu will definitely put him to death?

There are already some people in the world who have nothing to do with but look very similar, so even if Lichen looks similar to Emperor Qin's concubine, Emperor Wu shouldn't have moved with killing intent as soon as he saw his appearance!

There must be a secret in this!

Wei Qingqing always felt that the people behind the scenes had carefully planned all this, forcing Chen to have to show his true face in front of Emperor Wu, not just wanting Chen's life!

She always felt that there was a bigger conspiracy hidden behind all this!

But she had no clue what conspiracy was hidden......

All she can do now is to find out the secret hidden in Chen's body first!

After Wei Qingqing's mind was tossing and turning, she finally asked the question she wanted to know the most, "Why do you have the same face as Emperor Qin's concubine?" ”

But Lichen listened to Wei Qingqing's words but was silent.

"You'd better not know about this, and there's no need to know," Lichen was silent for a long time before slowly speaking,

He did not answer Wei Qingqing's words, but persuaded Wei Qingqing to stop, "Master Wei, listen to the poor monk's persuasion - close the case!" You don't have to overturn the case for the poor monk, and don't continue to investigate, otherwise it will only be bad for you! ”

"No!" Wei Qingqing rejected Chen's kindness without thinking, and insisted on investigating the case to the end, "The purpose of my investigation is to never let go of a bad person, and I must not be able to wronged any good person." ”

Liao Chen shook his head slowly, disagreeing with Wei Qingqing's approach, "Even if Master Wei insists on investigating to the end, it will only be in vain in the end." ”

The implication of his words was that the person who wanted him to die was Emperor Wu, so it didn't matter whether he was the real murderer or not.

"I don't care what others do, I only follow the guidelines in my heart," Wei Qingqing said and paused, and changed his way to pry open Chen's mouth, "I guess I probably accidentally got involved in the palace secrets, maybe the emperor won't let me go!" ”

"But I don't even know what kind of mystery I'm involved in, and even if I want to think of a way to deal with it, I can't do it," Wei Qingqing said and looked at the dust with a pleading face, and said pitifully: "Master Lichen, can you bear to watch me being killed by you?" ”

"Can you bear to let me be a fool until I die?" Wei Qingqing's gaze gradually became a little sad, "Don't you Buddha cultivators often talk about 'saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter'?" Now you could have tried to save me, but you chose to stand by and watch, I'm afraid it's against the Dharma, right? ”

After listening to Wei Qingqing's words, Lichen was silent for a while, and finally let out a long sigh, and slowly spoke with a helpless face, "The brocade box that the emperor ordered Gonggong Chen to hold out before is the thing of Emperor Qin's concubine. ”

"What did you say?" However, just one sentence made Wei Qingqing's eyes widen in shock, "You said before that the brocade box is your mother's relic...... In other words, your mother is the Imperial Concubine of Qin! ”

Before Lichen could answer, Wei Qingqing understood, and took the first step to ask himself and answered: "No wonder you and Emperor Qin's concubine look so similar, like a mold printed!" If you are mother and son, it is not surprising that they look alike! ”

What Wei Qingqing didn't understand before, now gradually understood, "You are the illegitimate son of Emperor Qin's concubine, no wonder the emperor will be angry and scold you for your evil species!" ”

Wei Qingqing remembered that Emperor Wu had asked Chen if he recognized the brocade box, and remembered that Chen saw the color behind the brocade box change slightly, and couldn't help but ask about the origin of the brocade box, "What secrets does the brocade box left by your mother hide?" ”

"That brocade box contains my mother's codex, and there are many ...... written on it," Lichen said and paused, his eyes lowered and seemed a little difficult to speak.

He paused for a moment before he could say the rest of his words, "The Codex contains many stories of my mother's secret meeting with my father......

Wei Qingqing listened to what Chen said and realized that the so-called codex was actually a love diary left by Emperor Qin's concubine.

The stack of letterheads in the brocade box recorded in detail the true emotions of Emperor Qin's concubine, clearly recording that she actually did not love Emperor Wu;

records how she acts in front of Emperor Wu day after day, and how she makes an affectionate appearance to deal with Emperor Wu.
