Chapter 49: The Death of Chang'an
Emperor Wei secretly ordered Wei Wenyan to investigate Changning's death, but the news still reached Wei Changning's ears, and she was shrewd and naturally set up eyes and ears by Emperor Wei's side.
How hidden did she do back then, didn't she? No way, the only person who knows about it has long since settled it. The five-day period is only the second day today, and everything has room to turn around.
Wei Changning hurriedly took her henchmen into the palace and quietly went to the cold palace. The grandmother was still there, but she was dizzy, and she couldn't see the person until she looked at it for a while. He knelt down with difficulty and said, "Slave, see the princess!" ”
Wei Changning helped her up with a smile, hooked the broken hair around her ears, and sneered at the sharp nails across her wrinkled neck. The grandmother shrank and didn't dare to move, "Grandma, recently, someone has come to look for you!" ”
"The slave maid has been a miscellaneous palace maid in this cold palace for more than ten years, how can anyone come to this ominous place to find a slave maid." The grandmother's voice was already trembling, Wei Changning was pulled by her with one hand, and she couldn't be clearer about her character.
"So, Mama, don't blame Changning for being ruthless, you know too much!" Wei Changning's voice became fierce, and his eyes were extremely ruthless.
As soon as Wei Changning's words fell, Liuyan took out the white silk and tightly strangled the old woman's neck, and the old woman tried hard to break the white silk, but it was to no avail, and her face was already red.
Seeing her very painful appearance, Wei Changning loosened Bai Aya's life with smoke, and the grandmother desperately sucked in the air.
"Mama, for the sake of you raising me, I will let you die a happy death."
Wei Changning sneered and took the white silk in Liuyan's hand, and used all his strength to strangle the white silk on the old woman's neck.
"Stop!"
Emperor Wei's majestic voice provoked the crows in the cold palace to flee in all directions, and Wei Changning loosened the strength in his hand when he saw the comer.
The old lady had already fainted, and Emperor Wei's face was already flowing underneath.
"Changning is just a small punishment of a palace maid, how dare His Majesty condescend to stop it." Although Wei Changning tried to pretend to be calm, her lips were already trembling.
The Praetorian Guards stepped forward and restrained her hand, "Take it away!" ”
It seems that she has jumped into someone else's game, Wei Changning knows that a catastrophe is coming, but there is still a trace of luck in her heart, what this old lady knows is only some old things she used to do. Only one person knew about that incident back then, Ren Wei Wenyan and this emperor had the ability to reach the sky, and they couldn't resurrect the dead.
"Get on your knees!"
The Praetorian Guard forced her to kneel, and Emperor Wei sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. "Wei Changning, you are guilty!"
"Your Majesty, Changning is guilty." Wei Changning slammed into the ground.
"Changning shouldn't be lynched privately, Changning kindly went to visit Mama, but Mama didn't appreciate it, insulted Changning and Changning's biological mother, Changning was just impulsive, begging Your Majesty for forgiveness!"
Emperor Wei slapped his hand heavily on the case and said angrily: "You still have a hard mouth when you die!" ”
At this time, Li Mo, who was dressed in white, stepped into the Zhengyang Hall against the light, and twenty years later, he was still so dazzling. Wei Changning's eyes followed his figure closely, and his gestures were tightly tied to Wei Changning's heartstrings. This is the person she has loved all her life, but she can only look at it from afar.
"See Your Majesty."
Time did not leave too many traces on Li Mo's face, and Emperor Wei never saw Li Mo again after Chang'an was buried. "Virtuous brother is exempt, the queen often thinks about you, now that you are back, go and see her!"
Li Mo nodded and retreated to the side, and at this time, the imperial physician Xu Zechang and a man in a wheelchair walked into the hall. But the man was unrecognizable, with his hair scattered and his head tilted to one side, and a peasant woman was pushing him.
This person, even if he turned into ashes, Wei Changning couldn't forget it, that person hung his head drowsily, but his eyes were shining when he saw Wei Changning.
But he retracted his head again, his hands trembled, and his chest rose and fell violently because of his mood swings. The peasant woman who pushed him comforted him, and he calmed down.
"The women see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
Wei Wenyan stepped forward and arched his hand: "Father, the person in this wheelchair is the only witness to this case. was set on fire by Wei Changning and almost burned to death, and Erchen found him after several twists and turns. ”
After Chang'an was buried, a fire broke out in her palace inexplicably, which burned for a whole day.
"Don't be afraid, tell me what you know." Emperor Wei's tone was already eager to hide.
Wei Changning became excited and wanted to get up and go forward, but he was tightly confined by the Praetorian Guards and couldn't move.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty; I, I saw Princess Changning..."The man in the wheelchair had a weak tongue, and he spoke very hard, and his hands kept shaking.
Wei Changning shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this person is not clear when he looks at his consciousness, and what this person said is not credible. ”
The Praetorian Guards on the side shoved something into her mouth, and she could only whimper.
The man was visibly frightened by her, and his eyes dodged. "Princess Changning, she sneaked into the room of the seventh princess, and then the seventh princess died. I know, I know she mixed the poison into the incense. ”
Chang'an has the habit of taking a nap every day, and likes incense. Although it was found that the poison in Chang'an was caused by inhalation of poison that day, the investigation was fruitless.
At this time, Emperor Wei's fingers had sunk into the flesh, and he kept the murderer of Chang'an by his side.
"I, I like her. She said she would marry me as long as I didn't say it. Later, later she shaved my face and was going to burn me to death. When the man said this, he was out of breath and sweating.
That person was actually a Praetorian Guard in the palace, and he was patrolling the palace that day, but when he saw Wei Changning sneaking around, he followed. Later, a palace maid escaped him from the fire, fell into the lake, and was rescued by the palace maid behind her and smuggled out of the palace.
Wei Changning's tears were all over her face, and the events of that day were a shame for her life. It's all this damn person, it's him, it's him who defiled her body. When she found out that she was pregnant, she had to devote herself to Si Yuzong, and gave birth to Si Yayan. Now that he is not dead, he still has to lift her scars.
"Mmmmmm Wei Changning's struggle became more and more intense.
"Let her speak!" Emperor Wei stared at her with gloomy eyes.
"Your Majesty, he lied to people, obviously it was him, he defiled Changning's body. He is now reversing black and white and framing Changning. ”
Seeing this, Wei Wenyan stepped forward and said, "Father, just look at whether you are framed or not, there is Lao Xu Imperial Doctor." ”
It was Xu Zechang who saw Chang'an that day, "Your Majesty, the poison in the body of Princess Changning's son that day is the same as the poison in the Seventh Princess." That day, the minister talked to Princess Changning. ”
She only cared about getting out of Si Yayan that day, but she forgot about it, so that now she has become a handle. "The truth of the death of the dog that day has been ascertained, it was done by my evil girl, and it has nothing to do with Changning."
Xu Zechang pondered for a moment and said: "It's just that the pharmacology of that poison is very complicated, and the minister has only seen it in the Seventh Princess and Princess Changning for forty years, and this medicine is a poison without an antidote. ”
"This king will not let the princess be wronged in vain." Wei Wenyan ordered Yunqi to bring the grandmother up.
At this time, the grandmother had already sobered up, and timidly opened her lips and said, "The slave maid heard the princess say that when she was out traveling, she befriended a person who was good at Gu poison, and that person's name was Zilu. ”
Xu Zechang's complexion changed greatly at this time, Zilu, it was actually this person. "Your Majesty, Zilu's Gu poison technique is unparalleled in the world, and the old minister has not been able to understand all the ingredients in that poison so far. Now that I think about it, there is no other person in the world besides him who can make such a powerful poison. ”
She should have killed that grandmother to prevent future troubles, and when she quickly told her about Zilu, she buried a disaster. Now she can't escape this catastrophe.
At this time, the Praetorian Guards who went to Shangshu Mansion to search for things had returned, presented the found poison to Emperor Wei, and found four bottles.
"Your Majesty, these are all found in Shangshu Mansion."
Wei Changning had already reached the point where the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, so he delusionally wanted to justify: "Your Majesty, someone must be trying to frame Changning, Changning didn't know that there were so many poisons in the mansion. ”
"Besides, Changning has always been friendly with the Seventh Princess, how could Changning kill the Seventh Princess, please Your Majesty be clear."
"Because you hate her!" Li Moqi, who had been silent, said such a sentence, which scared her more than every previous sentence and made her heartbroken.
"Why should I hate her, I don't!" Wei Changning's voice was already trembling, and tears were flowing uncontrollably.
"You took care of Wei Changning back then, you said!" Emperor Wei pointed at the old lady and said in a deep voice.
The old lady knelt on the ground with difficulty, and glanced at Wei Changning timidly, only to see that Wei Changning already hated her in his eyes. The old lady pulled her up with her own hands, and naturally there was emotion in her heart, and her eyes hesitated.
Emperor Wei pointed to the flowing smoke kneeling on the side, "Then you say!" ”
Liuyan followed Wei Changning when she was ten years old, and she knew no less than the old woman. Even though Wei Changning has always treated her harshly, she has decided in her heart that she is the master, so she will not betray her. Shaking his head, he said, "The slave doesn't know! ”
"What a loyal servant of the Lord, pull down the rod and die!"
There were exclamations of exclamation from outside, and within a moment there was no sound.
Wei Changning jumped up at this time and shouted angrily: "I'll come!" Yes, I hate her, I hate her. Why was she born more noble than me, and why could she get Li Mo's favor. Obviously, I fell in love with Li Mo first, but Li Mo wanted to marry her. ”
"Li Mo, in your heart, don't you have any place for me at all?" Wei Changning stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, smiled and looked at him pitifully.
Li Mo had never glanced at her, and said, "No!" His voice was obviously as warm as ever, but when he said this, it was like a sharp knife, and it was fiercely inserted into Wei Changning's heart.
At this time, he heard that Emperor Wei had sent the Praetorian Guards to the mansion, and Si Yuzong was late, and he happened to see that scene. The princess who was high up on the top was pitifully pulling Li Mo's sleeve at this time, and he had never seen that look.
"Minister, see Your Majesty!"
Emperor Wei didn't tell him to get up, but only opened his lips indifferently: "Now the truth of the death of the seventh princess Chang'an has been ascertained, and the evidence is conclusive. Lonely, heartbroken. Wei Changning, as a member of the royal family, is very intolerable in his evil minds. After three days, he died. ”
Those Praetorian Guards were ordered to put Wei Changning on death row, but Wei Changning grabbed the hem of Li Mo's clothes tightly and looked at him with tears in his eyes. It was the closest she had ever been to him in her life, and the closest she had been to death.
