Chapter 99: The Phantom Princess
It's just that he didn't wait long for the leader of the forbidden army to come back, he looked sad, with tears in his eyes, and fell to his knees with a "plop".
He trembled and said to the Queen Mother: "It's useless to be humble, when I found the prince, the prince was already out of breath." Please mourn the Queen Mother! ”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother convulsed all over, then rolled her eyes and fainted.
I never thought that the night shadow would leave like this.
He obviously sang a beautiful ballad not long ago, and so many people were applauding him and praising his beautiful voice, why did he die in less than a few hours?
The little sick seedling who wants to listen to my story, the little sick seedling who pulls me to play with leaves, the little sick seedling that I am tired of pestering around me every day, how can it be like this?
I touched my cheeks, and there were tears all over me, with unknown feelings, flowing endlessly.
The little beggar hugged me, and my head rested on his warm chest, and I wiped my tears in his forehead.
My heart is sad and tight, Qiguan Yeying is actually a very simple person, and he will be happy if you think you are happy. When I played the leaf play, the jade pendant I won, if he hadn't let me, I wouldn't have been able to win it. He knew I liked it, so he pretended to look at the wrong card. How immature his way of giving jade pendants is, but it makes people move for no reason.
I calmed down and went to see the situation of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother fainted, was pinched by the leader of the forbidden army, and woke up faintly.
When the old queen mother woke up, she grabbed the clothes of the leader of the forbidden army, and asked in a trembling voice: "Where is the shadow of the mourning family?" Where is he? You're kidding the mourners, aren't you? ”
The leader of the forbidden army sighed, did not dare to speak, and did not dare to look at the Queen Mother again.
The old queen mother took my hand again and asked, "Poison doctor, you can save the shadow of the mourning family, your mother can live the dead, flesh and bones, you must be able too, right?" ”
The Queen Mother unexpectedly mentioned my mother at this time, it should be that my mother and father came to Rong She Country when they walked the rivers and lakes, otherwise they would not have intersected with the Queen Mother.
Naturally, I don't have the ability to live dead and flesh and bones, so I can only shake my head regretfully at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother suddenly spread out on the chair, a little broken, and she said to the leader of the forbidden army: "Go and bring the shadow back, tell him that his queen mother is waiting for him in the mansion, let him come back soon." ”
The leader of the forbidden army was ordered to go out, and after a short time, he took his men to carry back the body of the night shadow.
There was an obvious red mark on the neck of the night shadow, and he looked like he had been strangled to death.
In his life, he probably didn't expect that he didn't die of illness, but he died of murder.
The Queen Mother looked at the night shadow of the official dressed in women's clothes, and almost fainted again. She hugged the corpse of Qiguan Yeying and cried for a long time, until King Rong She, Qi Guan Rongzheng, Qi Guan Mengya, and Qi Guan Qianwen all came to the palace, and the old queen mother was supported by King Rong She, which was considered a paragraph.
King Rong She asked Qi Zuo to perform an autopsy on Qiguan Yeying, and finally confirmed that Qiguan Yeying had indeed died of suffocation.
Immediately, the leader of the forbidden army presented an object, which was a belt embroidered with dragon patterns, luxurious and atmospheric.
King Rong She took the belt and looked at it for a moment, and then shouted: "Qi Guan Rongzheng, you are so bold!" How dare you murder your uncle! ”
Qi Guanrong saw the belt in King Rong She's hand, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Please also ask my father to be clear, although the belt belongs to a child, Uncle Wang is definitely not a child!" ”
The Queen Mother broke free from King Rong She's arms, snatched the belt, and her hands trembled: "Isn't this the belt that the mourning family personally embroidered for you on your birthday?" You say, what did you do with the belt that your grandmother gave you? The Queen Mother suddenly became angry and roared: "Qi Guan Rongzheng, what did you do to your Uncle Wang?!" Your Uncle Wang never thought of snatching your throne, why didn't you let him go again and again?! You just got released today, and you actually murdered your Uncle Wang! Why are you so ruthless! ”
Qi Guanrong was just released by the Criminal Department this afternoon because of insufficient evidence, and he had plenty of time to commit the crime, but I don't believe that he did it, my only intuition has always been very accurate, and I think Qi Guanrong was wronged.
So I pleaded: "King Rong She, Queen Mother, I think this matter is suspicious, if His Royal Highness the Prince really killed His Highness Night Shadow, he would not leave such an obvious tool of crime on the scene, I think this matter should be investigated before the case is decided." ”
The Queen Mother looked at me, her eyes were full of viciousness, she pointed at me and said, "It must be you, it must be you and Qi Guanrong who are joining forces to harm Ying'er, right?!" You're in charge of taking Shadow out of the house, and he's in charge of committing murder outside the house!" It must be like this! The shadow of the mourning family listened to the words of the mourning family so much, and the mourning family asked him to go out with the guards, and he would definitely bring it! It must be the shadow of you, a poisonous woman, otherwise how could he go out without a guard? ”
I suddenly felt that I just shouldn't talk too much, and the old lady now suspects me, and makes me die without evidence and can't explain it at all.
I had to kneel down and say to King Rong She and the Queen Mother: "Please the king and the queen mother, Xi'er and the prince have absolutely no collusion, Xi'er is wronged." ”
The Queen Mother said angrily to King Rong She: "Do you still want to protect them this time?" Your brother is dead, do you still want the murderer to go unpunished? ”
King Rong She hesitated a little, but Qi Guan Mengya suddenly spoke: "Father, I think it's better to put Brother Wang and the poison doctor in prison first, don't make the imperial grandmother angry, otherwise the imperial grandmother's body really can't stand it." As for who killed Uncle Wang, it will be handed over to the Criminal Department to investigate. Our criminal department will never just wronged a good person, nor will we let go of any bad person. ”
King Rong She nodded.
Qiguan Mengya hugged the old queen mother and said, "Grandmother Huang, our first task is not to avenge Uncle Wang, but to let Uncle Wang leave with peace of mind." You still have to help Uncle Wang take care of his posthumous affairs, you must take care of your health, otherwise Uncle Wang will not feel at ease when he leaves. ”
The Queen Mother wiped her tears again and said, "Okay, you go to investigate the murderer who killed Ying'er, and no one should be appeased!" The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and there is no one who should pay for the life of the shadow! ”
Qiguan Mengya looked at me with indifference, and the little beggar also stood indifferently on the side.
It suddenly occurred to me that these two were strangers.
Qi Guanrong and I were being escorted out by the forbidden army, and we looked at each other, all helpless.
Qi Guanrongzheng smiled bitterly: "The two of us are really hard-working mandarin ducks. ”
The helplessness in my eyes instantly turned into anger, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Who is with you a mandarin duck, you are obviously a broom star, since I met you, I haven't had a good life!" ”
He laughed and said, "Look at the menacing man who killed me, you want to live a good life, I'm afraid you have to live after you go into the ground." ”
I scolded, "Please shut up your crow's mouth, and say the funeral words, and this poison doctor will stuff you in the soil to open the way for me first!" ”
The leader of the forbidden army said: "You two don't quarrel, the criminal department doesn't know how it will be tried, I'm afraid the prince will have to suffer some hardships this time." ”
As soon as we arrived at the gate of the palace, a group of women suddenly broke in, and the woman led by her almost crashed into my arms, and the incense that came with her made me cough.
The leader of the forbidden army hurriedly saluted the visitor: "Why did the Phantom Princess come here?" ”
The Phantom Princess took my hand and did not answer him, but said, "I'll lend her one." ”
She pulled me to the hall, and I was dragged by her, covering my nose to isolate the fragrance, and looking up at her, it didn't matter if I didn't look at it, I was startled when I saw it.
Isn't this the woman I've been looking for in the Xizi League for several days!
My intuition told me that the disappearance of the little beggar was inseparable from this sudden appearance of the Yi woman, I thought it was she who took the little beggar away from me, and I was painting her face in my mind every day, and I wanted to see her and break her body into pieces!
But now was clearly not the time for revenge, so I had to hold back my anger and follow her.
As soon as the Phantom Princess entered the hall, she didn't greet the Queen Mother, nor did she express her condolences to the night shadow of the official, and said directly to King Rong She: "My sister's condition is getting worse and she keeps vomiting blood, I want to ask the poison doctor to see my sister." ”
After hearing this, King Rong She's expression changed, and he was nervous: "How can the queen vomit blood?" Isn't the white-haired mother-in-law guarding by her side? ”
The Phantom Princess said: "The white-haired mother-in-law is helpless, so I can only come and ask for a poison doctor." ”
King Rong She looked at me and said, "But she is now a suspect, and she is likely to be the murderer of the Night Shadow Prince." ”
The Phantom Princess said: "Don't be stupid, the king is so famous as a poison doctor, why would she kill people?" If she wanted to kill the Night Shadow Prince, wouldn't she just be able to do it in the prince's medicine, and would she be guilty of making things so troublesome? Besides, the case can be tried later, but my sister can't wait! ”
King Rong She pondered for a while, and said: "Feng Xi'er, you go to the queen to diagnose the queen, you can save the queen, this king will reward you with 10,000 taels of gold, if you can't save the queen, then your head may have to be separated from your neck." Got it? ”
I nodded helplessly, and the Phantom Princess pulled me out of the hall.
When we got into the carriage, she instantly became dumb and didn't say a word to me at all.
I didn't know if she was a little beggar, so I asked a few words, but she thought I was transparent and pretended not to hear anything.
I had no choice but to lean back on the car and rest, there were so many things going on today that I was a little hard to digest.
When we reached the palace, the Phantom Princess took me to a splendid palace, and she asked me, "How sure are you about the Queen's condition?" ”
I thought back to what Qiguan Mengya had told me, and I thought about the cause of the queen in my mind, until I was about to enter the palace gate, and I said to the Phantom Princess: "Eighty percent sure." ”
She burst out laughing and replied, "Enough." ”
I didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, and she dragged me into the hall like a puppet.
