Wen Yixuan, this woman is not easy to mess with, she has a clear mind and first-class means, and she came this time with the determination to tear her face. Zhao Jinxiu didn't really want to go head-to-head with her.
But I still had to come to this point.
Zhao Jinxiu looked at the concubine gently, her eyes were warm, "Godmother, stay, I'll come back after chatting with her." โ
The concubine pursed her lips.
Zhao Jinxiu felt unburdened in her heart, thinking that the concubine would naturally accept her proposal, because the concubine had never rejected her.
She's a concubine, a lifesaver.
However, the other side seemed to be still, and there was no response to her.
Zhao Jinxiu couldn't help but ask again: "Godmother?" โ
The concubine stood up: "I'd better go with you and see what is going on with her." โ
She grabbed Zhao Jinxiu's arm and smiled a little weakly: "Let's go." โ
Zhao Jinxiu tried her best to hide her surprise, and did not show it on her face, and after a while, she smiled understandingly: "It's okay." โ
The concubine saw that she was not unusual, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She really didn't want Jinxiu to think that she was suspicious of her, but the words that Wen Yixuan told her couldn't linger in her mind. It was as if a fire had been lit in her heart, no matter how weak the fire was, it was always burning there, and she couldn't ignore it.
She wished she could put out the fire herself.
*
When they passed, Yixuan had only arrived for a short time, and she was holding a cup of hot tea to keep warm. Zhao Jinxiu greeted her with a smile, and Yixuan responded to her as usual.
The atmosphere was even congenial.
Yi Xuan frequently looked at the concubine. She looked in a trance, obviously not fully believing Zhao Jinxiu's nonsense.
Yi Xuan rubbed her cold hands, put down the tea, looked up at Zhao Jinxiu who was sitting on the main seat, the corners of her lips curved, and there was sharpness hidden in her calm tone: "The county lord explains, the fire in the palace of the concubine back then." โ
Zhao Jinxiu's expression froze.
The iconic, Wen Zhiluo's way of speaking is domineering and arrogant, leaving no room for others.
Obviously, this matter is still inconclusive.
There was a coldness in Zhao Jinxiu's eyes, she pursed her lips and stared at the other party unhappily: "How do I know?" โ
"You know." Yi Xuan laughed, her eyes crooked, "It's not good to open the skylight and say that the county lord, I can't hide what happened back then." โ
Zhao Jinxiu had a cold face: "I don't know what you're talking about, if you talk nonsense again, please go out." โ
Yixuan stared at her, and then slowly, revealing a meaningful smile.
She curled her fingers, the knuckles against her chin, looking gentle and harmless, but it gave Zhao Jinxiu a feeling.
Wen Yixuan looked down at her condescendingly, sympathetic and mocking, as if looking at the most humble ant.
It's a pity that she's not an ant, she's far better at patience and disguise than those ants.
"The fire back then was ordered by Lord Zhang Qianyuan. Through Gonggong Fei and Gonggong Hua, the final task was handed over to a small eunuch in the palace of the concubine. The eunuch was originally not in the palace of the concubine, but was transferred to the palace of the concubine shortly after the prince went to the northwest. Later, when the concubine went to the palace to walk in the water, it was the little eunuch who took the initiative to admit his guilt. โ
"Gonggong Fei followed him shortly after the first emperor left, and the eunuch who confessed his guilt had already been executed. Now there is only one person left, this is the confession of Father-in-law Hua, don't you want to see it? โ
Yi Xuan took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and unfolded it, with dense words written on it.
Zhao Jinxiu's heart shrank.
As one of the participants in this matter, Father-in-law Hua should have been disposed of a long time ago. It's just that after Zhao Yan ascended the throne, he immediately removed his father-in-law from his post and transferred his father-in-law out of the capital. The Beizhen Fusi led by Wen Zhiluo actually became the leader of the Jinyi Guard, monitoring the movements inside and outside the palace very closely, for fear that someone would be unfavorable to the new emperor.
At this time, it is not wise to kill Grandpa Hua.
With the strength of Beizhen Fusi, it is absolutely possible to find out the connection between Hua Gonggong and the arson case.
So they let go of Grandpa Hua.
Later, after several rounds of purging, their power in the palace has been cut off from the roots, and they have to take a big risk if they want to kill Grandpa Hua. Moreover, many years have passed since the arson case, and everything has been closed, and it will not set off any more storms.
Zhao Jinxiu thought so.
Wen Zhiluo is a person who can always do things beyond her expectations.
Zhao Jinxiu glanced at the paper in Yixuan's hand, and her expression was very indifferent, "No need." It's a waste of time. โ
Yi Xuan smiled: "Since the county lord said that there is nothing, then, if there is anything wrong with what I just said, please let the county lord know clearly." โ
Zhao Jinxiu gritted her teeth.
She really hated the way this woman behaved and spoke, and there was an innate sense of superiority, as if everyone was the dirt she stepped on.
I really don't know why it's so crazy.
Zhao Jinxiu sorted out his thoughts and said indifferently: "I don't know what Father-in-law Hua is, the arson has nothing to do with Master Zhang." โ
"Don't know?" Yi Xuan smiled slowly and mockingly, "Maybe the county lord really doesn't know, after all, that's what Lord Zhang did." โ
Zhao Jinxiu frowned.
She seems to have fallen for this woman's scheme.
Because she didn't know anything, there was no way to explain that this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Qianyuan.
"Since the county lord doesn't know, don't just clear the charge for Lord Zhang, otherwise it's easy for people to think that the county lord is covering up his family."
The concubine seemed to understand something in a trance.
She couldn't help but glance at Zhao Jinxiu, her gaze was a little complicated.
Zhao Jinxiu's reaction was quite fast, "I don't know, but it was the concubine who was saved by Lord Zhang at the beginning, this is an obvious fact." โ
Yi Xuan smiled lazily and wantonly, "If there was no fire, how would Lord Zhang rescue the concubine from the sea of fire, establish the image of a life-saving benefactor in the concubine's heart, and let the concubine obey your orders with all her heart?" โ
Zhao Jinxiu's face was ugly.
This woman is still as cold and sharp as ever. After marrying King Yu, the comfortable days of high beds and soft pillows did not wear out her former edge.
"Isn't what you're talking about your speculation? Are you suspicious and no one is allowed to refute it? โ
Yi Xuan blinked, her expression soft and innocent, "But I have a testimony, Zhang Qianyuan instructed the arson is already a fact, and it is not clear now, but why did he do it." โ
Zhao Jinxiu's fingers on the armrest slowly tightened, and he sneered: "Who knows if your so-called witnesses were bought." โ
"Oh?"
The tone is languid, and the tail note is raised.
Yi Xuan was not angry at all, but laughed, her eyes staring at Zhao Jinxiu, as if she had said something extremely stupid.
Zhao Jinxiu had a sense of foreboding.
But she wasn't sure what it was.
"It was Beizhen Fusi who verified this matter, not me. The only people who can instruct Beizhen Fusi are His Majesty and the prince in the world. Does the county lord mean that the prince slandered Zhang Qianyuan, or His Majesty? โ
Zhao Jinxiu was a little angry.
There are only two people in the world, His Majesty and the Prince?
I'm afraid it's not, Wen Zhiluo.
Obviously, you instructed Beizhen Fusi, and you are still here to speak.
It's despicable to talk about His Majesty and the Prince.
Of course, Zhao Jinxiu didn't dare to put the blame on His Majesty or the prince, she endured it and said, "Maybe someone else bribed Wei Xiang, not necessarily." โ
Obviously, Wei Xiang was still bidding to his father-in-law before, but fortunately, his father-in-law didn't believe him. Now that Wei Xiang is helping this woman harm their whole family, the fox's tail can't be hidden.
Yi Xuan smiled nonchalantly, "Then when the county lord finds out who bribed Lord Wei, let's clarify it for Zhang Qianyuan." I will personally go and tell Your Majesty about this, Your Majesty is wise and will give us justice. โ
Zhao Jinxiu felt a bucket of ice water pour down from her head.
I'm cold.
Wen Yixuan: This is determined to make things bigger.
Your Majesty will definitely be partial to this woman, and when the time comes, the father-in-law will ...... What to do.
Zhao Jinxiu glanced at the concubine beside her, holding on to the last bit of hope, and whispered: "Godmother, you know that Your Majesty has a great relationship with her, if this matter is handed over to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely help her, and there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, Godmother, do you really bear to be wronged by your father-in-law?" โ
Her expression was sad, and her beautiful face was a little haggard, and those who watched it were in their hearts.
The concubine was distressed.
In the end, she called herself a godmother, Zhang Qianyuan's family was also very good to herself, and the concubine would rather believe that the peace and tranquility were true.
Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for the county lord's family, she would be a dead person by now.
If you don't die in the fire, you will be tortured to death by disease.
It's true that the county lord's family saved her life.
In fact, after listening to the conversation between the county lord and Wen Yixuan, the concubine had already vaguely understood the answer in her heart.
Too cruel.
She didn't want to believe it.
The concubine was very afraid of the thought that was about to move in her heart, and tried her best to suppress it, and after thinking about it, she felt quite guilty every time she wanted to speak.
The facts are there, and you still don't believe it, how can you be worthy of others?
Zhao Jinxiu held the concubine's hand and looked at her sadly, with hope in her eyes.
The concubine let out a long sigh.
Never mind.
"Yixuan," the concubine called her for the first time, "forget it, don't check it anymore, I don't want to hear it." โ
Yixuan was stunned and stunned.
Now she's just heard something.
The concubine called her "Yixuan".
For so long, the concubine was either hostile to her or ignored her, never calling her by name, but very contemptuously called her "that girl of the Wen family".
But just now, the concubine called her "Yixuan".
She actually felt quite sad.
There's also a bit of indescribable excitement.
Concubine this, admit her?
It has always been her own struggle in emptiness, and she has not been rewarded in the slightest, but at that moment just now, the moment the concubine called her "Yixuan", she felt that all the efforts were worth it.
The concubine is not a piece of cold and hard iron, she can see what others have paid, and she can slowly melt.
Yixuan almost couldn't hold back her emotions.
She lowered her eyes, her eyelids covering the flush of her eyes, so as not to be seen by Zhao Jinxiu that she was abnormal, and took a few deep breaths to make sure that her voice would not tremble in any way.
"Concubine, let's go back and discuss with the prince, okay?"
Her tone was unusually gentle.
