Chapter 238: She's Not a Human, She's a Monster!
The prison is always dim, and even the strongest sunlight can't penetrate much, and can only barely dispel a little darkness.
The smell of the mixed oil after burning is a little uncomfortable.
Bai Tang was led to the prison where Mu Liangqing was.
It's a separate area, a separate cell, and the silence around it makes the darkness even more oppressive.
The prison officer opened the iron door, then stepped aside and made a gesture of please.
In the cell, Mu Liangqing sat on the wooden bed, there was no blood on his pale face, his eyes were slightly drooping, and the whole person had a feeling of sadness greater than death, even if he heard this big movement, he didn't react at all.
Bai Tang raised his hand and waved, signaling the prison officer to leave first.
The prison officer hesitated, but bowed obediently, turned away, and closed the cell door.
"What's the matter?" Bai Tang didn't have the heart to play the game with the other party who couldn't hold his breath first, and went straight to the point.
As soon as she returned to the palace, she was found by someone sent by Dali Siqing, saying that Mu Liangqing still knew something about the case, but she had to see her, and he only told her.
Mu Liangqing finally moved.
She looked indifferently, but instead of looking at Bai Tang, she stared at the closed iron door, and then turned her head to look at the only small iron window in the room the size of a palm.
A few rays of sunlight came in through the iron window, but they couldn't even shine on the ground, as if they were blocked by something, like the light and hope that people in the dark wanted but couldn't ask for.
She said, "I want to make a deal with you." ”
"You don't seem to have an idea of what you're doing." Bai Tang said lightly.
Mu Liangqing's hand on her lap unconsciously clenched, she closed her eyes hard, took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions rolling in her chest, opened her eyes again, turned her head and looked at Bai Tang with a heavy gaze, "An important clue to the real culprit behind the killing of Concubine Xian, in exchange for my son's smooth and peaceful life." I don't need him to be a king, and I don't need him to have great power, even if he is trapped in a fief for the rest of his life, I just wish him a safe and smooth life. ”
Bai Tang just looked at her and didn't speak.
Mu Liangqing's lips pursed even tighter, and her eyes became more and more aggressive.
She said, "Bai Tang, whether it is a virtuous concubine or my fate, you understand, and maybe our fate is your future, in this world, the most ruthless is the emperor, even if the other party is infatuated with you now, but once you ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, in the end you can only share your husband with tens of millions of women, and even encounter the absence of red faces, and the newcomer is favored." Love is always the most unreliable thing in the world, especially the emperor's family, rather than putting everything on each other's feelings, it is better to pave the way for yourself as soon as possible. If you can completely seek justice for Concubine Xian, then I believe that Wei Jiuli will value you more, even if your feelings fade in the future, at least I will remember your credit. ”
Bai Tang looked at her deeply, then lowered his eyes, and said lightly, "Everyone in this world is not a mold portrayed on the plate in the script, everyone is different, different feelings, different choices, different futures, I will not predict what the future will be, because this is unrealistic, everything changes, life is endless, no one can arrange life smoothly and perfectly." ”
Mu Liangqing was stunned for a moment, and then her face sank, but when this was her refusal to refuse, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something.
Bai Tang continued, "What's more, you also know your son, or have asked him, and you are willing to become a trapped beast, or become an ordinary person, and live an ordinary life. This deal doesn't hold up from the start, and as for the chips you said, or you forgot who developed the Shingon Pill, I can make you confide the truth once, and there will be a second time, and your chips won't hold up. ”
When Mu Liangqing heard this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and when he looked at Bai Tang, a look of resentment and resentment finally appeared in his eyes, "You are the law of villains." ”
"Whether it's good or bad, everyone has different evaluations, but each takes what he needs." Bai Tang calmly met the other party's almost bone-crushing gaze, "Moreover, the most unqualified to evaluate others is you, who disregard human life for your own selfishness, disregard for the safety of the community, and disregard for the relationship between husband and wife, what are you." ”
Mu Liangqing's face changed completely, her face was distorted and hideous, she stood up suddenly, walked two steps towards her, but told her, looked at her like a demon, and roared in a low voice, "What do you know!" ”
"I really don't understand, because I'm not you." Bai Tang replied indifferently, looking at the other party, there was no guilt and regret in his eyes, only deep resentment and unwillingness.
"In this world, no one is born to live smoothly, everyone has their own choices and ways of living, this is your choice, I have no right to interfere, but I am a person, I have always protected my shortcomings, what your choice is, what you want to do has nothing to do with me, as long as it does not involve the people I care about, because I don't like to be reasonable."
Her tone was calm and unwavering, but it made Mu Liangqing feel as if her whole body was frozen in ice, and she was cold to the bottom of her heart.
Facing the pair of eyes as black as ink, she only felt that it seemed to be two bottomless cold pools, which made her unable to breathe.
"You, you're ......" she staggered back two steps unconsciously, "this is your true face, isn't it, you really aren't a benevolent person, ridiculous, ridiculous......"
"What is good and what is evil, I only do what I think I should do, but I ask for a clear conscience." Bai Tang was indifferent, and approached her step by step.
Mu Liangqing's eyes couldn't help but widen, looking at her eyes in horror, and even wondering if she was hallucinating, why she saw the blue light in the other party's right eye, so strange and terrifying.
She snapped back to her senses, hurriedly took a few steps back, and looked at her in panic, "Monster, monster, you are a monster!" No wonder, no wonder it can confuse people! ”
"I'm not going to confuse people." Bai Tang said lightly.
Mu Liangqing only felt that she was quibbling, and really wanted to scold again, so she said in that waveless tone, "I will only control." ”
As her words fell, Mu Liangqing's eyes widened violently, and her body froze in place.
Soon, however, her expression slowly regained her composure, and her eyes lost consciousness.
"What else are you hiding from Concubine Xian's case?" Bai Tang spoke.
Mu Liangqing was like a robot without self-consciousness at this time, and opened numbly, "When the harem was first formed, most of the people who entered were newcomers, and Concubine Xian didn't often interact with people after entering the palace, but the planners behind the scenes seemed to know her very well, so I guess that the other party was probably someone next to Concubine Xian, or someone who knew her very well." ”
When Bai Tang heard this, his brows furrowed, "Do you have any suspicions?" ”
"At first, there were, but then there weren't, because all but the two who took care of Wei Jiuli in the Zhaoxian Palace were executed, and those two died soon after. And Concubine Xian was alone when she followed the king, and she didn't have any close friends during the period. Perhaps, but I don't know. ”
Bai Tang pursed her lips, she naturally checked everyone around Concubine Xian, but they were all dead, none of them survived, and there was nothing abnormal.
Concubine Xian treats people generously, and the attendants around her are also loyal, and it is not excluded that some did not resist the temptation and were killed after colluding with others.
She asked a few more questions, but Mu Liangqing really knew that.
But there was one more thing that made her more concerned.
Mu Liangqing said that she had been warned when she investigated the matter.
In the harem, who has such the ability to break into the queen's bedroom and kill people invisibly, so many internal guards have not found anything.
Either this person has strong martial arts, has reached the realm, and has outstanding light skills, or this person has some way to enter and leave the harem at will, and even enter the queen's palace without suspicion.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and tapped the center of the other's eyebrows.
Mu Liangqing, who was originally motionless like a stone statue, shook violently, his pupils began to focus, and then slowly came back to his senses, and then looked at Bai Tang in horror, his demeanor was completely lost, and he almost crawled back to the wall, "Monster, monster, don't come here, you are a monster." ”
Bai Tang just glanced at her, then turned around and walked towards the iron gate, raised his hand to open the iron door, and walked away.
After this day, the news that the queen was crazy in prison slowly spread far and wide, because when she saw people, she said that the lord of Yutang was a monster, his eyes would glow, and he would have terrible witchcraft.
Wei Guojun and others only felt that she was deliberately pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity to smear Bai Tang to retaliate, and regardless of the intercession of the eldest prince, they revised the execution time and gave Bai Aya in advance, which also saved the pain of separating the corpse.
He said to the public that he was already crazy and aggressive, and he insulted the royal family at will.
And her crazy words about framing and insulting Bai Tang were also reported, and many people suddenly felt pity for Bai Tang.
It's not easy to think about each other, and I always encounter so many superlatives.
Probably because there was not much blood shed in this fraud case, and the queen's participation did not implicate too many people, so it did not have much impact.
Of course, there are still some people who have been influenced, such as the Great Prince's faction.
After learning that the queen mother was crazy, the eldest prince went to see him again, but the result disappointed him, because the queen mother might really be crazy.
A crazy queen will have little effect even if she is saved, but may bring more negative effects.
Therefore, after all-night negotiations with the staff, the eldest prince only acted in pain in front of Wei Guojun about the early execution of the queen mother, and then locked himself in the palace under the pretext of excessive sadness, and discussed with the staff and party members day and night how to solve this dilemma.
Although the queen's affairs did not implicate the eldest prince, it now has a lot of influence on his reputation and image, and the most important thing is the opinion of the king.
Originally, this year, because of some things, the eldest prince aroused the dissatisfaction of the monarch, but now that the queen is out of the matter, I am afraid that he is even more dissatisfied, and now the most important thing is to find a way to reverse Wei Guojun's views and attitudes towards the eldest prince.
But how can it be reversed, especially now that King Li is in front of him.
Thinking of Wei Jiuli, the eldest prince hated it even more, the hatred of his mother's death and the hatred of seizing power were all imposed on him, and he couldn't wait to make this person disappear completely.
However, there are still many sane people in the Great Prince's faction, and they know that they can't do anything to the Nine Emperors for the time being.
Now the monarch is thoroughly investigating the case of Concubine Xian, and with the monarch's feelings for Concubine Xian, now the other party is afraid that he will feel even more guilty about the Nine Emperor Princes.
At this time, as long as the Nine Emperor Princes didn't make any mistakes, whoever went to trouble him would be asking for his own death.
And the Nine Emperors obviously understand this truth very well, so after coming out of the Criminal Department, they have been saying that they are not sick, which is obviously a bitter ploy to retreat into advance.
Although the king did not summon to appease him, and did not show much of it, it was obvious that he would become more interested in him.
A few days later, Bai Tang stepped into Dali Temple again and handed over a copy of information to Dali Temple.
Dali Siqing has been busy for almost a few days, if it weren't for some pills provided by Bai Tang, I'm afraid they would all be tired to death on the table.
There are not many resources available to Dali Siqing, especially the details of the investigation characters, which are sometimes not as efficient as Baitang's side.
Although the information network on Poria's side is not yet in the climate for the time being, the white bird handed over to her by Wei Jiuli is like an information extractor, no matter who it is, it can be dug out quickly, plus with the twin pills, the transmission of information is not as slow as before, and the efficiency is higher.
The information she handed over to Dali Siqing was the details of one of the more suspicious people she picked out and the situation of the people around her, such as those dead palace concubines.
She found out that some of the family members who had been with her had suddenly received gold and silver treasures from her at some point.
There is even a person who once revealed when he went home to visit relatives that she was helping her master do something, and if she did it, she would become a confidant and soar to the sky.
Bai Tang slowly pulled out these people, and then deliberated and drilled them one by one, and finally listed the suspects with the highest probability.
But the latest problem came out, these palace concubines are all new concubines in the palace except for Concubine Jing and Concubine Shu, and there is no dispute with Concubine Xian, at most they are just jealous of her favor.
And she has analyzed the personalities and behaviors of these people, and they don't look like people who can make such careful plans, which may also be Mu Liangqing's original guess that there may be a mastermind behind the scenes, and these people are just pawns of the other party.
That person may be the person Mu Liangqing said who knows Concubine Xian very well.
Perhaps even Wei Guojun's subsequent decision and the accidental death of Concubine Xian were in the other party's calculations, and she may have grasped the character and mentality of these two people.
Dali Siqing continued to investigate thoroughly according to her latest information, and there was also useful news from the arraignment of Sifang Palace.
"Because, because of this incident, the old slave was transferred out of Zhaoxian Palace, so the old slave remembered, but the specific time is not clear, I only know that it was about summer at that time, and Concubine Xian Niangniang was just two months pregnant, and the king valued it very much, and asked me to take care of it carefully."
This grandmother was a palace maid in her twenties at the time, and she was sent to wait when she was a concubine or a princess, and later the other party became a concubine, and they were also in Zhaoxian Palace.
Because Concubine Xian treats people generously, the servants respect her very much, including this grandmother.
At that time, Concubine Xian was in poor health, so she reacted very much after pregnancy, so she often went to find some fresh sour red fruits for Concubine Xian to eat, and Concubine Xian also liked it very much, so she got the free passage qualification of Concubine Xian's dormitory.
She remembered one time, Concubine Xian's morning sickness was very severe, and she had no appetite for almost the whole day, and at that time, the red sour fruit was already out of season, and there were not many, so she ran a lot of places to find it before she barely picked half a basket.
When she returned to Zhaoxian Palace, it was already night, she quickly cleaned it and brought it over, and saw that the lights were still on in Concubine Xian's bedroom, so she ran over and knocked on the door, but she faintly heard a similar quarrel, but it was soon gone.
She thought she had misheard, knocked on the door, and only entered after getting permission to give the red sour fruit, and there was indeed no second person in the palace except Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian's face looked bad at that time, but she only thought it was the cause of pregnancy and didn't think much about it.
But the next day she was transferred out of Zhaoxian Palace, and after that, she has been haunted by this matter, and she doesn't understand why she was suddenly abandoned, until the case of witch Gu appeared, Concubine Xian died, and everyone in Zhaoxian Palace was killed.
In these days in Sifang Palace, she was forced to constantly recall the details of the past, and she couldn't help but think of Concubine Xian and being inexplicably transferred away, and then she thought of the quarrel that night and the bedroom where Concubine Xian was alone.
Then she began to realize that something was wrong.
As she said before, after Concubine Xian became pregnant, the king attached great importance to it, not to mention how many heavy soldiers guarded around the palace, even inside and outside the palace there would never be no one waiting, but at that time, there were only people outside the courtyard, there were only two people in the courtyard, and there was no one waiting in front of the palace, which was too wrong.
After listening to the other party's narration, Bai Tang fell into deep thought again.
This means that Concubine Xian had secretly met with someone when she was in the palace, and there was a quarrel, and Concubine Xian intended to keep this secret, or to protect that person.
She couldn't help but think of the mastermind behind Mu Liangqing's statement that he understood Concubine Xian.
In addition, what is the identity of this person, who can quietly appear in Concubine Xian's bedroom, and he is not the person who was originally Concubine Xian's side, that is, it is possible to enter secretly from outside the palace.
But how could the palace be easily entered, and it was still silent, which reminded her of the person who killed the queen's chamberlain.
She suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Concubine Xian's life experience.
Concubine Xian's birth is not low, but it is just embarrassing in the court, because her family is a famous family in the martial arts.
Since this is the case, then the person who quietly entered the palace to meet Concubine Xian secretly would not be someone she used to be, a relative, or a friend.
It is said that when Concubine Xian married Wei Guojun, she was fully opposed by her family and relatives and friends, and even almost broke off her relationship with the family because of this, so it was common for quarrels to occur when they said goodbye.
She immediately asked Bai Hu to go to Charlo's house, as well as relatives and friends related to Luo Shuiyue.
As far as she knew, a few years after Concubine Xian's death, the Luo family seemed to learn about the situation, and the Luo family only sent one person to inquire, but in the end it seemed that they broke up with Wei Guojun unhappily, and they never appeared again after leaving in anger.
She went to inquire about Wei Guojun about this matter.
The other party only said that the person who came back then was the second brother of Concubine Xian, and the other party learned that his sister died because of the witch Gu case, so he said that his sister could not do such a thing, and asked Wei Guojun to re-investigate.
Wei Guojun was reluctant to re-mention the case at that time, so the two quarreled, and finally broke up unhappily, so the other party didn't even know that Concubine Xian had a son.
