Chapter 43: The Truth 2

"Namjoo?" Prince Helian didn't believe it, and said the name of the maid, "Nanzhu and my sister grew up together, my sister is very good to Nanzhu, and all the palace maids in Nanzhao Palace envy her, she has no motive to harm my sister." ”

Guo Ang narrowed his eyes and habitually looked behind him, the bead curtain had been withdrawn, and there was no woman wearing a luxurious phoenix crown behind the curtain.

After thinking for a while, Guo Ang glanced at Cao Ke who was standing below, and said in a deep voice, "Cao Qing is Jing Zhaoyin, what do you think?" ”

Although Cao Ke has hatred for Jiang Cailing in his heart, but this matter is related to his family and country, the last time he was blinded by his nephew's hatred, now that he has figured it out, he must be on Jiang Cailing's side, and he said respectfully, "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the human heart will not be satisfied." It is also unknown that the maid Nanzhu plotted to kill the princess. ”

Guo Ang nodded, and the eunuch beside him knew Guo Ang's thoughts, and raised his voice, "Xuan Nanzhu is here." ”

After a while, a female official about thirty years old walked in, this person Jiang Cailing knew, it was Aunt Tanyun who was in charge of the palace maids. Tan Yun has been in charge of the palace maid for many years, very steady, at this time she knelt on the ground and said, "Back to the saint, the maid Nanzhu was heartbroken on the day the princess was killed, and committed suicide by jumping into the lake, and the slave maid sent someone to salvage but did not find Nanzhu's body!" ”

Hearing this, Helian didn't show much sadness on his face, after all, if a maid was gone, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, at this time, Helian thought that Jiang Cailing wanted to pin the crime on a dead person, and he was furious, "He Ling'er, is this the truth you are talking about?" ”

Jiang Cailing didn't expect that Nanzhu would die, and she was stunned for a while, and even everyone in the court felt a little disappointed when they heard the news.

The peace and prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty over the years have not come easily, do you really want to meet with the Nanzhao soldiers?

The person who laid out the layout was really meticulous and meticulous, and he actually got rid of the real culprit early. She doesn't have any direct evidence to prove that Nanzhu is the murderer now, except for face-to-face confrontation, she never thought that she wouldn't even have a chance to confront now.

"Prince Helian is at ease." Gu Jiming took a step forward at this time, with a cold expression on his face, and the lights in the room shone on her side face, becoming more and more angular, "Back to Your Majesty, on the day that Princess Hejia encountered misfortune, the minister arranged the deployment inside and outside the palace, the Taiming Lake in the palace was connected to Luoshui outside the palace, and in the early morning of the second day of the incident, the guards sent by the minister found a mysterious woman in the downstream of Luoshui, dressed in Nanzhao clothes. The minister did not dare to be careless, but he was afraid of disturbing the holy driver, so he never made it clear to the saint, and asked the saint to forgive his sins. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Cailing couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Gu Jiming, she couldn't see Gu Jiming's expression, she could only see the tall back standing in front of her, she didn't know what kind of emotions welled up in her heart, she didn't expect Gu Jiming to be prepared.

Guo Ang's originally disheartened expression changed suddenly, completely forgetting that Jiang Cailing had taught him to be happy and angry, and said excitedly, "Is the woman you are talking about Nanzhu?" ”

"The minister hasn't had time to interrogate yet, why don't you announce that woman to meet and let Prince Helian identify it and see if it's a maid of your country?"

The eunuch's shrill voice sounded again, "Xuan Nanzhu is here." ”

After waiting for a while, I saw two guards pull a crazy woman in, the woman was wearing the traditional costume of Nanzhao, this person was Nanzhu.

Jiang Cailing had some impressions of this maid, when she saw her before, a pair of slender eyes were shining, her skin was delicate and tender, and her clothes were very different from other Nanzhao maids, showing her grace.

At this time, Nanzhu's eyebrows at the corners of her eyes did not have a romantic appearance, her hair was slightly messy, her eyes were hollow, the clothes on her body were wrinkled, and her body even exuded an unpleasant smell.

"Nanzhu, how did you become like this?" Helian also seemed surprised.

Nanzhu is the most beautiful maid in the palace, and He Jia treats her very well, some of the materials and jewelry given by his father will be rewarded to Nanzhu, since he met Nanzhu, Nanzhu is good at dressing up, and her skin is white and tender A few points more expensive than Miss Jiao.

When she was a teenager, she secretly asked her sister to go to Nanzhu, but her sister politely refused.

Nam-joo didn't answer Helian, on the contrary, a pair of dark eyes looked at him hatefully, as if there was infinite resentment hidden in his heart.

Jiang Cailing maintained a posture of great salute, her forehead was still close to the ground, and she opened her lips and said, "Holy Lord, can the people interrogate Nanzhu by the people's daughter?" ”

"Exactly."

Jiang Cailing straightened her waist at this time, but still maintained a kneeling posture, and asked Nanzhu beside her, "When Princess Hejia ascended the Star Picking Tower, did you follow her?" ”

Nam-joo didn't speak, still looking at Helian with hatred.

Jiang Cailing stared, no longer asking Nanzhu, but turned to Helian and asked, "Prince Helian, the commoner girl is presumptuous, do you have any holiday with Nanzhu?" Why is Nam-joo's eyes full of anger when she looks at you? ”

Helian was also confused, although he didn't give Nanzhu a good face after he wanted to accept Nanzhu, but he never scolded her, Nanzhu was still very respectful to her before, why did he look like this today?

"You said that you want to marry my ......" Just when everyone was puzzled, Nanzhu suddenly spoke, her eyes still looking at Helian. It's just that the resentment just now turned into a stupid whisper, the light in his eyes is no longer as fierce as just now, his slender eyebrows and eyes are looking at each other tenderly at this time, and a pool of light in his eyes can melt ten miles of ice.

Helian stood up and explained, "I did say it, but Hejia said you didn't want to ......."

Nam-joo had a bright smile on her face, the corners of her lips were raised high, revealing her slender neck, because the expression on her face was indescribably weird, so that the people in the palace did not stop her from getting up and approaching Helian.

Nanzhu walked up the steps, at this time the smell of being blistered all over his body, Helian resisted and took a few steps back, this action greatly stimulated Nanzhu, suddenly stepped forward to hold Helian's arm, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "You said that after I helped you kill the princess, you will marry me and crown me as the crown princess, and I will be your queen after you succeed to the throne." ”

Nanzhu's voice was extremely sharp and hoarse, like glass shattered on the ground, and like a cuckoo crying blood, which could pierce through the ears of the listener.

"It's really you! Jia'er is so good to you, like a sister, why do you want to hurt her! Slut! When Helian heard Nanzhu's words, he was stunned at first, and then he was furious.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her sister who was killed, Helian's face turned cold, and he vigorously pushed her away in disgust, Nanzhu was defenseless, and fell backwards unexpectedly, and fell heavily under the steps, his forehead fell to the ground, and Yin Yin's blood flowed.

Blood sticks to her hair on her face, Nan Zhu's expression became even more crazy, and the left and right attendants were afraid that she would assassinate Guo Ang, so they lifted her arm to the bottom of the steps.

"Like sisters? Heh, do you think she's a good sister? Nanzhu struggled, half-knelt on the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and after seeing the person on the steps, the crazy look on his face faded a little, "It turned out to be you, Second Prince Helian." Do you know what she said after you asked her for me? She said that I was a fox and a little prodigal like my mother. ”

"Jia'er is lively by nature, how can she ......"

"It can't be, can it?" Nanzhu lifted his sleeves, a white and tender forearm was covered with new and old wounds, the traces of whipping and burns were shocking, there was no good meat, Jiang Cailing couldn't help but look away after seeing it.

"The more she treats me in front of outsiders, the more vicious she is to me in private, and this is all caused by her."

The entire hall fell silent, and finally Gu Jiming spoke, "You poisoned the princess because the princess treated you badly?" But why did you commit suicide by jumping into a lake after assassinating the princess? ”

Hearing this, Nanzhu's face was covered with a silly smile, his eyes were foggy, as if he had seen someone, he stretched out his hand to touch the air, "Hezhi, you said you would marry me...... But why, you want to kill me, why don't you let me live, why don't you let me down......"

Speaking of which, everyone understood why Nanzhu stared at Helian with a strange expression just now, Helian and Hezhi brothers are the most similar to the princes of Nanzhao, and Nanzhu should have regarded Helian as Hezhi just now.

Although Hezhi is the crown prince but he is immoral and incompetent, Helian is known as the god of war in Nanzhao, Hezhi was afraid that this younger brother would rebel, so he used the death of his sister Hejia to anger his younger brother, and probed the details of the army in his brother's hands.

Da Zhou is Nanzhao's strongest ally, if Helian and Da Zhou have a stiff relationship, once the two princes of Nanzhao have civil strife, Da Zhou will not want Helian to ascend to the throne of Nanzhao, so as to help Hezhi regain the country.

The people present were all human spirits, and after guessing the cause and effect, they knew the ins and outs of this matter.

Although everyone knows it, no one will stand up and say all this, after all, this is a matter of the Nanzhao royal family.

Helian no longer had the spirit he had just now, he was like a deflated ball slumped in his chair, his hair was much messier, he would never have thought that Hezhi would be cruel enough to kill his only sister Hejia as a tool to seize the heir, let alone that his innocent and lovely sister would be a ruthless woman.

But Jiang Cailing still has a doubt in her heart, that is, what role does the Su family play in this, and what is the matter with the fake white lotus? What is the relationship between Su Qingcheng and Hezhi?

Just when Jiang Cailing wanted to ask, Nanzhu's eyes, mouth, nose and ear canal were bleeding, accompanied by an idiotic smile on her face, which made people feel very terrifying.

Jiang Cailing secretly said that it was not good, stood up and supported Nanzhu, Nanzhu fell into Jiang Cailing's arms and had passed out.

This is a poison that breaks the intestines, if she is informed in advance of this poison, Jiang Cailing has a way to continue her life for ten days and a half months, but at this time, it has been poisoned, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu has no power to return to heaven.

"Nam-joo, Nam-joo-"

Jiang Cailing shook Nanzhu's shoulders violently, Nanzhu slowly opened her eyes, and said quietly, "Women who fall in love are all stupid ......"

Before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and closed them.

Reaching out to her wrist pulse, there was no beating at all.

Everyone thought that the matter was over, but Jiang Cailing was like falling into an ice cellar, this gut-breaking poison reminded her of an old man, she was the only one in the world who had this strange poison......

Emperor Zhaohong's former empress is a confidant of the palace maid, Linglong.
