Chapter 231: Not a Drop of Water
They were all dressed in Xiliang's costumes, and they were obviously Li Sheng's personal guards.
Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen were both shocked, and the two looked at each other, their faces extremely ugly.
Xie Langhua's eyes were extremely deep, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Reliving her life, she was rarely afraid of anything, but this time she was really afraid.
The queen has a vicious mind, not only wants her life, but also wants the Xie family to accompany her to the funeral, if she can't wash away her grievances, even the Mo family will not be spared.
The queen is really calculating, this plan is really killing two birds with one stone, one can avenge Sima Qing, and the other can clear the obstacles for the prince, the Xie family and the Mo family are both heavy soldiers, not to mention, it is not like other courtiers have already invested in the prince's door, the prince and the queen have been wooed many times, the Xie family and the Mo family are indifferent, which makes the queen and the prince feel very uneasy.
Li Sheng is the future king of Xiliang, no matter what, Dayan will always give Xiliang an explanation.
A guard stepped forward to probe Li Sheng's snort, his eyes were instantly shocked, and he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "The prince is gone." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince!" the guard's voice fell, and more than a dozen guards instantly knelt on the ground.
There were only Xie Langhua, Mo Liangchen and Li Sheng in the house.
Li Sheng was poisoned and died at a glance.
"It was you who poisoned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The guards at the head of the guard stared, pointed at Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen and roared murderously.
"No, it's not us, it's him who died suddenly. Mo Liangchen bit his lip and argued.
But at this time, her words were pale and weak.
There were only three of them in the room, who were they!
Mo Liangchen always believed that Li Sheng was not poisoned by Xie Langhua, whether it was her or Xie Langhua, they all knew the seriousness of this matter.
Neither the courtiers, nor the royal family, nor their guards were allowed to wear swords in the palace.
Because Li Sheng is the crown prince of Xiliang, his status is very respectful, except for meeting Sima Hong, Li Sheng's guards can wear swords in the palace.
The guard at the head looked furious, he waved his long sword, pointed at Mo Liangchen and Xie Langhua, and said coldly: "There are only two of you in the house, who are you if it's not you?"
Mo Liangchen was already frightened, her face was pale, her face was covered with beads of sweat on the cold winter day, and her face was full of panic.
Xie Langhua's face was gloomy, she slowly stepped forward to block in front of Mo Liangchen, looked at the guard intently and said: "Whether it is us or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we all know that he is the Prince of Xiliang, and he has no grudges against him in the past and no enmity in the near future, why do you want to kill him? Or in the palace? Isn't this too stupid?"
Xie Langhua's words are not unreasonable.
But the facts are in front of them, so they have to believe it.
"What are you talking nonsense with them? Kill them to avenge His Royal Highness the Prince, even Yan Guo has to give us Xiliang an explanation. No one listened to Xie Langhua's words at all, and another guard stood up, and he raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed at Xie Langhua.
"Sister Xie!" Mo Liangchen was startled and shouted with horror in his eyes.
"Your Majesty summoned Prince Xiliang. "At that time, a temple man hurriedly walked in, and it was really timely.
Xie Langhua's body flashed, avoiding the sword.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter?" the temple man glanced around, looked at Li Sheng on the couch intently, and said tremblingly.
"You came just in time, the two of them poisoned our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and we were about to go to your majesty to ask for an explanation. The guard at the head slowly withdrew his sword and said with a cold look in his eyes.
The temple man was startled, looked at Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen in disbelief, and couldn't say a word.
Xie Langhua glanced at Mo Liangchen with a reassuring look: "Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, and he will wash away our grievances for us." ”
Mo Liangchen bit his lip and nodded gently.
The two of them followed those Xiliang guards and walked towards His Majesty's Qinzheng Hall together.
When they arrived, they found that the queen was also in the palace of diligent government.
Seeing Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen coming in, the queen smiled meaningfully, and a trace of murderous aura flashed in her eyes.
"The two of them poisoned our Prince Xiliang, and I hope Your Majesty will give us an explanation for Xiliang. Without waiting for Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen to speak, the guard led by him said to Sima Hong.
Sima Hong was originally curious about how Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen were in the palace, but the guard's words made him suddenly startled, and he couldn't help frowning and said, "What did you say?"
He had been in the top position for a long time, and he had long been overjoyed and angry, and now his eyes were full of shock, which showed how serious this matter was.
The death of Prince Xiliang in the palace of King Yan is not trivial, and the slightest carelessness will cause the two countries to fight.
"His Royal Highness the Prince!" As soon as Sima Hong's voice fell, the envoys of the Yan Kingdom who came with Li Sheng rushed into the hall, there were eight people, they looked sad and angry, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry bitterly.
Sima Hong looked at this scene, his heart was troubled, his eyes swept down on Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen and said, "Why are you in the palace?
Even Sima Hong didn't believe it, how could the two of them dare to kill Prince Xiliang in the poisoning of the palace, they were both from a family of military generals, how could they not know the seriousness of this matter.
"Please make the decision for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" the Xiliang envoys looked at Sima Hong and said.
Mo Liangchen couldn't stop trembling, she didn't say a word, just looked at Sima Hong with horror in her eyes.
Under Sima Hong's gaze, Xie Langhua stepped forward slowly, looked at Sima Hong, looked at the queen, and said slowly: " It was the queen who summoned us into the palace, and the queen chose the courtiers and Mo Jiajiaojiao as the eleventh princess concubines, and left us in the palace to learn the rules, how did we know that the prince of Xiliang suddenly appeared in our room, saying that the queen was kind to him and wanted us to serve him well, the courtiers and the Mo family Jiaojiao were naturally unwilling, how did we know that when we struggled, the prince of Xiliang suddenly died violently, as for why we don't know!"
Sima Hong's eyes were sharp, and he slowly turned his head to look at the queen.
As soon as Xie Langhua's voice fell, the queen's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Xie Langhua in disbelief and said: " Why do you want to slander this palace, this palace summons you into the palace is true, but it is not to ask you to be the concubine of the eleventh princess, but to see that you are the same age as the ninth princess, the ninth princess died suddenly, the palace is really sad and unbearable, so I want to stay in the palace to accompany the palace for a few days, in order to solve the feelings of the palace thinking of the daughter, as for the concubine of the eleventh princess, the palace has already chosen Changning and Changle two county lords, your father is holding heavy troops to guard the border, the palace is stupid and will not choose you as a concubine. ”
The queen burst into tears as she spoke, and what she said was justified and impeccable.
Sima Hong looked at the queen intently.
Mo Liangchen looked at the queen in disbelief, her eyes were full of shock, the queen clearly didn't say this when she summoned them, she said in a trembling voice: "Why did you frame us like this, Queen Niangniang? When you summoned us, you clearly said that you wanted us to be the concubine of the eleventh princess to marry Xiliang, and to keep us in the palace to learn the rules. ”
Xie Langhua looked at the queen intently, she knew that she would quibble, but she didn't expect her to push it so cleanly, and in a few words, they slandered her.
She was terrified that the queen only said that they should be the concubines of the eleventh princess, but she did not give an order, and the people present except for her and Mo Liangchen were both queens, who would come out to testify for them! On the contrary, the queen could find many witnesses, and they were really hard to argue.
Under everyone's gaze, the queen slowly stood up, looked at Sima Hongyingying, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty! The concubine selected the two county lords of Changle and Changning as the eleventh princess concubines, thinking that they were of the same age, so she arranged them in the Lingyun Palace, and asked the grandmother to teach them to give them the rules. ”
The queen's acting skills were bursting, she knelt in front of Sima Hong with a look of self-blame, and cried and said: "The two of them have made such a catastrophe, the concubine has an unshirkable responsibility, please Your Majesty to condemn the crime." ”
Sima Hong looked at the queen intently.
The queen glanced up at Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen, and cried and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood something, you can explain it clearly, you are so bold that you dare to poison him!"
"Your Majesty is not like this, the queen is lying......" Mo Liangchen tried his best to argue.
The queen's words were seamless, and she was just a little negligent when she broke the sky.
"Your Majesty can summon the imperial doctor over to see what kind of poison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has caused? Since such a thing has happened, it is natural to find out, first, to give Xiliang an explanation, and second, to find out the real culprit. Xie Langhua knelt in front of Sima Hong and said in an orderly manner.
In many cases, facts speak louder than words, and even if the queen is unassailable, it cannot turn things upside down.
"It's okay!" Sima Hong glanced at the queen and said slowly.
"Your Majesty is wise. Xie Langhua said in due course.
Mo Liangchen's flustered heart calmed down slightly.
The Xiliang envoy arched his hand to Sima Hong and said: "Your Majesty, naturally you have to find the imperial doctor to come over for an autopsy, but you also have to search them in public, don't let them destroy the evidence." ”
The queen sobbed and knelt on the ground, she lowered her head, listening to the words of Xiliang's envoy, and couldn't help but hook her lips and smile.
Xie Langhua, Xie Langhua, look where she is fleeing!
She not only wants her life, but also wants the Xie family to accompany Qing'er to the funeral.
Everything was as she expected, very good, very good
"Someone!" Sima Hong's voice fell, and two grandmothers came up and walked towards Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen.
Mo Liangchen looked at Xie Langhua with worried eyes.
She didn't have anything on her, but Xie Langhua not only brought a highly poisonous snake with her, but also something else.
Xie Langhua didn't wait for her grandmother to search her body, so she took the initiative to hand over Xiaodouzi and the medicine that Yu Ye gave her.
Instead of waiting to be searched, it is better for her to take the initiative to hand it over.
"You poisonous woman still said that you didn't poison His Royal Highness the Prince. Sima Hong also spoke, and the Xiliang envoy pointed at Xie Langhua and said sharply.
