Chapter 68: Punishment
Zhou Ruian muttered this sentence silently in his heart, but did not say it.
In fact, the prince has always felt that he doesn't like Jiang Qingyue to get close to the second prince, and it has nothing to do with jealousy or anything, he just doesn't want Jiang Qingyue to discover his life experience, after all, the prince has always felt that he has always been broad-minded and generous.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Rui'an, thinking of the second prince's depressed appearance because he couldn't be established as the prince, he felt a little sympathetic to him inexplicably, he wanted to be established as a prince, I was afraid that there would be some grinding.
"But it's okay, Weiyuan Dart Game does have a lack of justice." Jiang Qingyue sighed and said, "If the emperor can really find out about this case, Senior Brother should be able to let go of it in his heart." β
"Justice?" Zhou Ruian snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that this Weiyuan dart game is not innocent in the first place, and it will invite this murderous disaster, and it can only be said that they are not right!" There are no less bad things to do, so how can we talk about justice? β
When Jiang Qingyue heard this, he couldn't help frowning, but seeing Zhou Rui'an's eyes full of condensation, he still swallowed the words he wanted to ask.
Zhou Ruian saw that something was wrong with her, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will deal with it, don't worry, anyway, as long as the murderer can be found, Lin Zheyuan has nothing to say." β
Jiang Qingyue nodded, but she always felt that Zhou Rui'an's attitude was a little strange, and she seemed to be very disdainful of Weiyuan Dart Game, and this attitude even brought dissatisfaction and resentment, which made her feel very confused.
In the past, Zhou Rui'an didn't have this attitude towards the destruction of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, what's wrong?
Of course, Jiang Qingyue wouldn't know that the prince was holding grievances for her.
Soon, under Zhou Rui'an's arrangement, Emperor Xuande soon noticed the case of the destruction of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, as the emperor, he wanted to investigate a matter, but it was much faster than what Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, he soon discovered the extraordinary history of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and then thought of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau was suddenly destroyed, and those who could do this, in addition to Jinyiwei, may also be people in the palace.
I have to say that Emperor Xuande's IQ is still very powerful when he is online, everything is going according to Zhou Rui'an's ideas, after Emperor Xuande noticed that the Weiyuan Dart Bureau was actually killed by someone, he immediately felt that he understood something, and immediately began to investigate the situation of the guards in the queen's palace.
When Emperor Xuande sent someone to investigate, he had already begun to ponder in his heart, when the queen wanted to transfer the princess, such a major matter, someone must cooperate, find the baby girl, and then send the princess out of the palace, this series of things, must be done without leakage, a little leakage, it is impossible to succeed.
This is stealing a princess from the inner garden of the palace!
So the queen must have been planning this matter for a long time, and there will definitely be people outside to cooperate with her, so it means that the queen will definitely have a subordinate of her own to obey her dispatch.
Emperor Xuande looked at the introduction of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and couldn't help knocking on the table, it seems that this Weiyuan Dart Bureau is the queen's power outside the palace, the Weiyuan Dart Bureau knows too much, the queen can't rest assured, so she decided to kill people.
From this point of view, it was Chen Hewu who changed the princess back then! But now that Chen Hewu is dead, no one knows where he sent the real princess.
When Emperor Xuande thought of this, he hated it in his heart, and then immediately thought that Chen Hewu also left a daughter, and he couldn't help but kill him.
Chen Hewu stole his daughter and left the noble princess behind, but Chen Hewu's own daughter is alive and well! It just doesn't make sense!
Soon, the person who went to investigate the queen's guards came back, confirming Emperor Xuande's conjecture that on the day the Weiyuan Dart Bureau was destroyed, the most powerful guard commander around the queen was indeed not in the palace, saying that he had gone out on an errand.
This can basically be determined, the queen is the person who extinguishes the Weiyuan dart game! Emperor Xuande noticed this, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes, he really didn't expect that the queen, who had always been virtuous and generous in his eyes, would still have such a side! I did so many things behind his back!
But Emperor Xuande can't take down the queen with these, and he doesn't plan to tear his face with the queen so quickly, the reason is very simple, in addition to the fact that the queen is the only person who knows the whereabouts of the real Princess Ningyang, there is another point, that is, the queen's strength has surpassed his cognition, the queen is deeper than he imagined the city, and now he can't even judge how many hole cards the queen has, and now is not the best time to turn his face with the queen.
Emperor Xuande had no way to take the queen, but it was more than enough to deal with Lin Zheyuan and Chen Xiu'er, especially Chen Xiu'er, she was Chen Hewu's daughter, and in Emperor Xuande's opinion, she was the best target for revenge!
Emperor Xuande sent someone to pass Chen Xiu'er into the palace, Lin Zheyuan was startled, and immediately wanted to go with him, and the little eunuch who came to pass the word glanced at Lin Zheyuan with a smile: "This son, do you think that this palace inner garden is a vegetable market?" Is it something you can visit if you want to? Without His Majesty's summons, you still want to go to the saint? It's ridiculous to be ignorant! β
Lin Zheyuan was choked, but he didn't dare to be angry, but said: "Forgive me, my sister-in-law has suffered from madness, and I am afraid that she will lose her temper in front of His Majesty and offend the saint." β
"Your Majesty is so master in front of him, do you think that the Ouchi guards are all showy? Can't deal with a crazy woman? The little eunuch said sarcastically.
Lin Zheyuan was speechless for a while, but Chen Xiu'er had already shouted: "No, I'm not going, I'm going to find Qingyue." β
Lin Zheyuan was distressed, but the little eunuch obviously didn't care about these: "Hurry up, grab it, if you can't knock it out first, Your Majesty is still waiting!" β
When Lin Zheyuan heard the words of the little eunuch, a trace of indignation flashed in his eyes, he couldn't let Chen Xiu'er have an accident no matter what, but there was nothing he could do now.
Some guards had already stepped forward to grab Chen Xiu'er, Chen Xiu'er struggled desperately, and they simply interrupted Chen Xiu'er neatly.
Seeing this, Lin Zhe was furious: "What are you doing! β
Lin Zheyuan was just about to step forward, but was stopped by the guards, and the little eunuch screamed: "What are you doing!" What do you want! Do you want to rebel? β
Lin Zheyuan calmed down at this time, and the little eunuch snorted coldly: "Malier's, the saint is still waiting!" β
Lin Zheyuan watched Chen Xiu'er being taken away, turned around and went to the Second Prince's Mansion to find Jiang Qingyue, Jiang Qingyue has been staying in the Prince's Mansion recently, Lin Zheyuan went to see the Second Prince was not as smooth as Jiang Qingyue, and was stopped outside and waited for a long time.
This was ordered by the second prince, saying that when he was alone with Jiang Qingyue, it was forbidden for others to disturb, and the subordinates of the second prince's mansion naturally did not dare to disturb the second prince to speak, Lin Zheyuan and the others were so anxious that they finally went in directly!
In the end, it was the second prince and Jiang Qingyue who heard the voice and came out to see the situation, only to find out that it was Lin Zheyuan.
"Senior brother? What are you doing here? Jiang Qingyue asked with a stunned expression.
Lin Zheyuan hurriedly said: "Qingyue, go and rescue Xiu'er with me!" She was brought into the palace! β
Jiang Qingyue's expression changed suddenly, she knew Chen Xiu'er's condition very well, although she was usually normal most of the time, but once she got sick, no one could control her, with Chen Xiu'er's situation, in front of His Majesty, a royal was rude, and no one said anything when she was killed on the spot.
Jiang Qingyue never thought that Emperor Xuande would suddenly make a move on Chen Xiu'er, it was really too different between the two people, and with the status of Emperor Xuande, he would actually set his sights on a Chen Xiu'er, which was simply incredible!
Seeing that Jiang Qingyue was anxious for a girl, the second prince frowned faintly: "Who is this Xiu'er girl?" β
Jiang Qingyue came back to his senses, looked at the second prince with a sincere face and said, "Your Highness, Miss Xiu'er is the fiancΓ©e of my senior brother, this time there is a reason for this incident, I have offended Your Highness, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." β
Oh, it's Lin Zheyuan's fiancΓ©e, with Jiang Qingyue's temperament, she will definitely not do anything to win people's love.
The second prince's heart was immediately relieved, strange, why did he breathe a sigh of relief?
The smile on the second prince's face was a little more real: "It's okay, since you are Qingyue's friend, you are my friend, I heard that Miss Xiu'er was brought into the palace?" β
"Yes, Miss Xiu'er is the only daughter of Chen Hewu, the head of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, after the Weiyuan Dart Bureau was destroyed, she suffered from madness, and now she has been brought to Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will ......" Jiang Qingyue said, and his brows frowned: "Your Highness, I won't say much to you, I will leave first." β
"Wait a minute!" The second prince opened his mouth and called: "Since the person has been brought into the palace, Qingyue, do you have any other way to enter the palace?" β
Jiang Qingyue choked, of course she was going to Zhou Rui'an, and the second prince naturally understood that she would definitely go to Zhou Rui'an for help in this matter.
So the second prince smiled slightly and said: "This matter is without further ado, why do you have to run again, there are many rules in this palace, if the Xiu'er girl is delirious, it is even more dangerous, why should Qingyue go far and near?" Isn't it easy to follow me into the palace? β
"Won't this be too much trouble Your Highness?" Jiang Qingyue said hesitantly.
"I take Qingyue as a brother, so why bother?" The second prince smiled and said, "Let's go to the palace and save people first." β
Jiang Qingyue also knew that now was not the time to postpone, so he nodded and followed the second prince into the palace, Jiang Qingyue was still a five-grade official, Lin Zheyuan couldn't get in, so he had to wait outside.
Jiang Qingyue said to Lin Zheyuan in front of the palace gate: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely bring Miss Xiu'er back safely." β
Lin Zheyuan nodded heavily, and watched worriedly as Jiang Qingyue and the second prince entered the palace.
At this time, Chen Xiuer had just been brought to Emperor Xuande, she was unconscious, and was woken up by Emperor Xuande with a basin of cold water, Chen Xiuer blinked, looked confused, and when she found herself in a strange place, she immediately shouted and screamed.
"Are you really crazy?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Emperor Xuande's mouth: "It's a pity, I heard that it is still the only living mouth of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, isn't it a pity to die like this?" How can this case be investigated? And how to give justice to Weiyuan Dart Bureau? β
The chamberlain on one side cautiously echoed: "Your Majesty is merciful, you really love the people like a son, and even this is considered by the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, which is really a blessing for all the people." β
Emperor Xuande sighed: "Go and call the imperial doctor, let's see if it can be cured first, and then ......."
The other two little eunuchs pressed Chen Xiu'er's shoulders, Chen Xiu'er trembled, she had some martial arts foundation, and her strength was greater than that of ordinary girls, so she broke free from the two little eunuchs!
Chen Xiu'er wanted to run out in a panic, but there were people in front of the door, so she had to turn around and run in the direction of Emperor Xuande, who had the least number of people.
The chamberlain screamed: "Escort! Hurry up! β
"The second prince has arrived!"
Jiang Qingyue and the second prince heard the noise coming from inside, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they broke in directly, Jiang Qingyue saw Chen Xiu'er rushing towards Emperor Xuande, and the hairs on her body were about to stand up, she was stunned for a moment, hurriedly rushed over, and then hit Chen Xiu'er on the neck with a knife.
Chen Xiu'er suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Qingyue immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, Chen Xiu'er is mentally incomplete, and she has no intention of offending Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to atone for her sins!" β
Emperor Xuande looked at Jiang Qingyue in front of him and felt a little familiar, but in an instant, he thought of the person who disgusted him, so he couldn't help frowning, and looked at the second prince with a pair of cold eyes: "Second brother!" What kind of place do you think this is? Why are you trespassing? It's really a few errands, and I don't even care about my father! β
"Father's forgiveness!" The second prince also knelt down: "It was Erchen who heard the sound of escort in the study, and Erchen was worried about the safety of his father, so he trespassed in, and asked his father to forgive him for the sake of his son's filial piety!" β
Emperor Xuande's expression was condensed, but his eyes were a little complicated, he also had expectations for the second prince before, after all, he only had two sons, but after knowing what the queen had done, he changed his attitude towards the second prince.
Now when he looked at this child and said that he was worried about him with an envious face, Emperor Xuande's heart was still slightly touched, after all, he was a child he loved since he was a child.
It's just that when he saw Jiang Qingyue beside him with such eyes, he became completely cold again.
Jiang Qingyue arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Xiu'er really has no intention of offending Your Majesty, and begs Your Majesty to open the net." β
Before Emperor Xuande could speak, the attendant beside him said: "Heh, I haven't heard of anyone who intends to assassinate His Majesty and can still open the net, if anyone is using his incompleteness of mind as the reason, isn't this full of assassins all over the world?" β
Emperor Xuande did not reprimand the servant to speak, and his attitude was already obvious.
Jiang Qingyue frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Emperor Xuande said: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, since this Chen Xiu'er has offended me, if I let her go like this, it really can't be justified." After a pause, he looked at the second prince: "Second brother, you can tell me, there is no form in front of the emperor, and he intends to assassinate, what is the crime?" β
The second prince hesitated for a moment, but immediately said: "Back to my father's words, the case is to be beheaded!" But the ancestors of the Kai Dynasty also said that there are also favors outside the law, Xiu'er girl is delirious, not intentional, and she is also the only survivor of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, the Weiyuan Dart Bureau is the most serious tragedy under the rule of the father, if the murderer cannot be caught, I am afraid that it will damage the wisdom of the father. β
The second prince really understood Emperor Xuande, and said that benevolence could not move him at all, and only with the reputation he cared about the most could Emperor Xuande be moved.
Emperor Xuande's expression really eased, and the words of the second prince were not unreasonable, but he was really unwilling to let Chen Xiu'er go like this.
After being silent for a while, Emperor Xuande said lightly: "She is indeed the first to be formless, if you let her go like this, there will be no rules in this palace in the future!" After a pause, he continued: "But she is indeed pitiful, so let's do it, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so I beat her thirty boards to set an example!" β
Jiang Qingyue raised his head suddenly, and a pair of clear eyes directly faced Emperor Xuande, who was looked at by those eyes, and there was a trace of trance in his heart.
Chen Xiuer's physical condition, where can she hold up to the 30 boards? It is estimated that she will not survive if she is not finished.
Jiang Qingyue arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty! I am willing to accept it on behalf of Chen Xiuer! β
"Qingyue!" The second prince exclaimed in surprise and looked at her with a stunned expression.
Jiang Qingyue was resolute: "I beg Your Majesty to fulfill it!" β
Emperor Xuande looked at Jiang Qingyue, but another voice sounded in his mind, begging him to be fulfilled, fulfilled! Everyone wants him to be fulfilled, to fulfill their wish to find death!
Looking for death, since they are willing to die, what reason does he have to stop them?!
Emperor Xuande sneered: "Okay, if you are willing to punish you by example, I will fulfill you!" β
"Father!" The second prince cried out in a lost voice, "Please father, don't!" β
Emperor Xuande was unmoved: "Someone is coming!" Pull it out! Give me a hard beating! β
Soon, two guards came up and pulled Jiang Qingyue out, and the second prince hurriedly stood up, his eyes staring at the execution guards, his eyes gloomy and cold.
The board fell on Jiang Qingyue's body again and again, she squeezed the stool leg tightly, but she couldn't hold back and didn't scream, the second prince heard the sound of the board, but felt a sharp pain in her heart.
The second prince clenched his fists tightly and trembled, but he couldn't do anything, this was another time he experienced this feeling of powerlessness, just like the last time, the queen mother forced him to go to Liuzhou.
But this time, it was far more painful for him than that time.
After the thirty boards were finished, Jiang Qingyue was already weak and speechless, only a faint breath remained, and his body was even more blurred with flesh and blood.
Emperor Xuande took people away, the second prince eagerly went to let people call the imperial doctor, Jiang Qingyue moved his fingers, his voice was weak, and the second prince lowered his head: "Qingyue, what did you say?" β
"I ...... To get out of the palace. β
Jiang Qingyue was very weak, his voice was so slight that he could barely hear it, the second prince could not hide his heartache, Chen Xiuer happened to wake up at this time, and when she saw Jiang Qingyue, she immediately cried.
"Qingyue, woo, Qingyue ......" Chen Xiu'er was about to pounce on Jiang Qingyue's body without being light or heavy, but was stopped by the second prince.
The second prince is extremely disgusted with Chen Xiu'er now, if it weren't for her, Jiang Qingyue wouldn't have suffered this crime, so he glanced at the little eunuch on the side and asked people to stop Chen Xiu'er.
"Look at her! No more trouble, but no one will clean up the mess for her! The second prince said coldly, and then ordered someone to carry Jiang Qingyue.
"Qingyue, the injuries on your body must be dealt with first, you clean up the wounds in the palace first, and then I'll send you out of the palace, okay?"
Jiang Qingyue shook her head, even if it was such an action, she felt extremely weak when she did it: "No, I want to leave the palace, send me, send me out of the palace." β
The second prince was helpless, so he had to let someone carry Jiang Qingyue to the outside of the palace, "Lighter, lighter." β
As soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he met Zhou Rui'an, who rushed over after hearing the news, Zhou Rui'an's face was gloomy as ice when he saw Jiang Qingyue's appearance, his eyes were full of anger, and his body exuded an indescribable evil aura.
The second prince was stared at by him, and inexplicably a cowardice came out of his heart.
Zhou Rui'an walked in front of the second prince, staring at the second prince without shying away, this is actually a very rebellious move, Zhou Rui'an's five fingers slowly closed, and the condensed breath on his body made people feel an inexplicable danger.
Luo Bei hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, let's take a look at Gongzi Jiang first......"
It just so happened that Jiang Qingyue's soft groan interrupted the tense atmosphere, and Zhou Ruian immediately turned his head and saw Jiang Qingyue's bloodless face, and his heart ached.
"Ruian?" Jiang Qingyue called softly.
"It's me, I'm here."
When Jiang Qingyue heard his voice, he breathed a sigh of relief in vain, muttered a word, and fainted heavily.
Zhou Rui'an's eyes were astringent, he picked her up lightly, turned around and strode away.
Lin Zheyuan looked at Luobei and asked in a low voice, "What did Qingyue say just now?" β
Luo Bei paused and whispered, "Gongzi Jiang said...... She said, 'Then I can faint.'" β
The second prince heard the conversation between the two, and involuntarily clenched his fists, I don't know why, he suddenly felt a sullen feeling in his heart, unlike the pain he felt when he watched Jiang Qingyue being beaten just now, the pain now was blunt, not sharp, but endless.
Jiang Qingyue had completely lost consciousness, including when she was cleaning the wound, she didn't wake up at all, Zhou Ruian looked at her bloody wound, and exuded a cold feeling all over her body, which made Luo Bei tremble for a while.
"Have you found out?" Zhou Rui'an said indifferently.
"Got it figured out." Luo Bei replied quickly, not daring to slack off on this matter: "The emperor is eyeing the Weiyuan dart game, so naturally he is also eyeing Chen Xiuer, and wants to take Chen Xiu'er under the knife, Jiang Gongzi ...... in order to protect Chen Xiu'er."
Zhou Rui'an interrupted him with a faint expression: "Didn't Lao Liu say last time, is there a way to cure madness?" β
Luo Bei nodded, but hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yes, yes, but this method is extremely damaging to people's bodies, even if it is cured, I am afraid that it will also hurt the fundamentals......"
Luo Bei couldn't go on, because he found that Zhou Ruian didn't seem to hear his words, he just looked at Jiang Qingyue on the bed, and there was desperate tenderness and firmness in his eyes.
