Chapter Ninety-Eight: Qin Ke's Death

Aunt Wei heard that Gu Nu had ordered her subordinates to make a big move in the Chunshui Pavilion, so she came to stop it.

"The prince has already ordered, this matter is an accident, why did her Gu Nu privately order to continue to do a senseless investigation, is it because the palace is not chaotic enough, and the prince's mind is not annoying enough?"

"Who said it was a useless investigation?" An Ronghua returned to the scene.

In the mud, people found more than a dozen mud beads of the same size and roundness, and after cleaning, they were jasper beads of good color and similar quality, which should be from the same string of beads.

"In the cracks of Aunt Feng's fingernails, there are still scraps of flesh that have scratched the murderer, as well as this string of beads, which are all evidence. ”

"So, you've found the murderer?"

"I will tell the prince the truth. ”

An Ronghua met Xia Huaijin, although she was reluctant to mention the sad things that made him heartbroken, but she had to reveal the truth in order to clear her innocence.

This jade bead chain was selected by An Ronghua accompanied Xia Huaijin, and Qin Ke had a new injury on his hand, even if there was no witness, it could be connected into evidence. It was Qin Ke who led Aunt Feng to the Chunshui Pavilion and tried to push her into the water, but Aunt Feng struggled and grabbed the bead chain that Qin Ke wore every day, and was also scratched on the back of her hand and wrist.

An Ronghua didn't see the bead chain on Qin Ke's chest today, but he saw the scars on her hands.

Qin Ke was insane, the pain of losing his son, and it was indeed logical to turn into jealousy to do such things, and Aunt Wei was speechless to refute An Ronghua's reasoning.

"Huai Jin, I just want to prove that I didn't do it. ”

"The king knows. ”

Xia Huaijin went to Fengzi Pavilion and pushed the door open, he hated the breath in this room, Qin Ke sank into his own pain, but he killed others.

"Lord Wang!" Qin Ke still had a smile on his face.

"What about the bead chain that this king gave you before, and you used to wear it every day?"

Qin Ke touched his chest and replied in a trance: "I lost it, it was given to me by the prince, how can I lose it!"

Qin Ke was looking around privately, under the table and under the bed, in every corner, she climbed in to find it, but in Xia Huaijin's heart, she had already been convicted.

"You don't need to look for it, it was broken in the Chunshui Pavilion, it was torn off by her when she killed Feng Yao, right? You can't find it anymore, you don't have to look for it anymore. Xia Huaijin's tone was extremely cold.

Qin Ke found his hands full of ashes, knelt down and walked to Xia Huaijin's feet, hugged his legs and denied: "It's not me, the concubine didn't kill anyone, it was the valley girl who framed me, why did you only listen to her, the concubine didn't do it, the concubine is the prince's wife, why doesn't the prince believe me!"

Xia Huaijin had already retracted his pity for Qin Ke, he turned around and threw her to the ground, she was already crazy, just like Qin Sujin who suffered from heartlessness and murder.

"This king promised you that you are the only princess in this life, and from today on, you will stay in this Fengzi Pavilion to atone for the sins of this king's two unborn children, and you will not leave half a step in this life. Xia Huaijin left resolutely.

"Lord Wang!"

The night was quiet, Aunt Wei appeared in the Spring Water Pavilion where no one dared to approach, standing on the edge of the pond and tearing off a string of bead chains, and the jade beads sank to the bottom of the turbid water.

"You and I are both lowly concubines who are not favored, why can you conceive the prince's child, now that you are dead, your child is also dead, will the prince be sad and sad for you? ”

The fire in the direction of Fengzi Pavilion was soaring, and the people in the house filled water to put out the fire, An Ronghua, Xia Huaijin, and Xia Bingliang all rushed over one after another, but Qin Ke lit fires on all sides, leaving no breakthrough.

"Concubine Qin!" Xia Bingliang struggled and was forcibly pulled by Gu Nu, "Let go of me, I want to save my mother!"

Qin Ke sat in the center of Fengzi Pavilion, surrounded by raging fire, and his heart was like ashes.

"Liang'er, the concubine is sorry for you. ”

"Mother!"

Qin Ke got up and shook unsteadily, she was also afraid of the fire, but now her heart is like ashes, and she is fearless.

"Gu Nu, I hate you, the prince can not love me, he can not love anyone, why do you prefer you? You take away the love of the prince, take away the good son, take away my child, why do you still frame me? give it to you, the princess is for you, the prince gives it to you, everything is for you, I don't want anything, I don't want anything, I don't want anything......

Qin Ke closed her eyes with a dead heart, and the burned Fengzi Pavilion ended her miserable life, a life of love, and a life of gain and loss.

An Ronghua's eyes were filled with fire, and she accepted Qin Ke's hatred, a really indelible hatred, a hatred that could not be eliminated even if she died.

She just wanted to love Xia Huaijin.

Qin Ke disappeared into the fire, she went crazy and sober, burning away her obsession and pain. Her last words were remembered in An Ronghua's mind, and she agreed with all the other sins, but the framing sentence that An Ronghua couldn't let go of for a long time.

Hope turns to despair, possession turns to loss, joy turns to pain.

Xia Huaijin hadn't seen An Ronghua for several days, and even Xia Bingliang deliberately avoided him. An Ronghua knew that even if she proved her innocence, in the end, Qin Ke still inflicted her crime on death with death, which was her last hatred.

An Ronghua couldn't help but reflect, maybe it was really his own appearance that rebelled against the way of heaven, which caused Xia Huaijin's family to suffer from heaven. Otherwise, why would he have spent twenty-two years of peace, and why would the world be turned upside down in one year of his appearance?

The funeral tent outside the palace was hung up the last time it was hung and not taken down, and it became a place where the whole city was shrouded in the smell of death, and everyone avoided it. Only an unkempt, ragged beggar walked outside the palace with a cane, and Chun'er's face was covered in dust and dirt.

Aunt Wei came back from outside, and she couldn't believe it was her at a glance opposite Chun'er, but she still recognized her appearance in a trance.

"Chun'er?"

Chun'er limped away, and on the same day she was expelled from the house with a stick, and she broke her leg.

At the entrance of the street, the beggar Xiao Hei bought tools from the shop, and was looking for someone when he saw Chun'er running out.

"Where have you been?"

"Didn't go anywhere. ”

"I'll buy it, go back and make a bow and crossbow, and shoot a rabbit for you to eat!" Xiao Hei smiled, but Chun'er was expressionless.

It's the season when the mantuo cinnabar is in full bloom again, An Ronghua quietly followed Xia Huaijin up the cliff, and in the wind and clouds, he looked up at the distant sky.

"Is this king unworthy of happiness?"

An Ronghua wrote a letter in her hand, and she didn't dare to ask Xia Huaijin if she still needed to be by her side. Xia Bingliang took An Ronghua's letter to Xia Huaijin, and he wrote in the letter: Huaijin, when you saw the letter, I thought I had left the imperial capital, I was afraid that I had brought you great misfortune, and I was worried that you would dislike me because of it, but I didn't dare to ask you in person. I heard that there is a sea of flowers outside the flower city in Yuzhou, and I was not able to see it in person when I went there before, but now I want to strive for the end of this flowering period to see the magnificent scene of the sea of flowers. If you are tired of me, let me go freely, if you still have me in your heart, come to the flower city to find me, and I will wait for you before the flowers fall. ”

Xia Huaijin also had an appointment with the Queen Mother back then, and An Ronghua did not hide the handwriting of the letter in front of him.

"Father, what did Gu Nu write?"

"Liang'er, my father is leaving. ”

Xia Huaijin did not hesitate, and decided to go out to pursue An Ronghua the moment he saw the letter, he did not dislike her, but he was too immersed in sadness and ignored An Ronghua's feelings for a while.

"Father!" Xia Bingliang called, "we must get the valley girl back." ”

In the sea of flower cities, Xia Huaijin didn't see Gu Nu, he was wearing a special mask to isolate pollen, but he still couldn't stop coughing, and the back of his hand began to have a red rash.

"Have you heard that the Queen Mother is going to Huacheng?"

"I've heard that, it's just the past two days. ”

There was no shadow of the valley girl, but Xia Huaijin heard the news, he rushed back to the city from the sea of flowers, the city gate was heavily guarded, the people at the city gate watched, and there were sentinels on the city wall shouting: "The queen mother's sedan chair has arrived!"

Xia Huaijin looked back in shock, the posture of a large group of people, the maids in uniform costumes scattered flowers in front of the road, twelve large sedan chairs and red tents, and an unknown old husband serving beside him.

Xia Huaijin was stunned in place, unable to see who the person behind the sedan chair curtain was.

"Hey, hey, who are you, didn't you see the Queen Mother's sedan chair coming, do you want to hit the ground?" the patrol poked Xia Huaijin's back with his scabbard and stabbed him into the crowd.

Xia Huaijin was blocked, and the moment the sedan chair passed, the side curtains flew up, which was indeed her appearance, what she should look like at the age of forty.

"How come, Gu Nu is not ......"

Xia Huaijin was conflicted in his heart, he was pushed forward by the crowd, until outside the Hundred Gardens of the Triad Palace, the Queen Mother, who everyone looked up, finally showed her face, and it was indeed this appearance.

"Queen Mother......" Xia Huaijin was useless, and the people were cheering.

"The Queen Mother had a tiring journey and needed to rest, so she asked her father-in-law to thank everyone for their warm welcome on her behalf. The old eunuch said angrily.

After entering the Hundred Gardens, Lord Cheng Yin also retired, and the old eunuch looked at no one, so he walked into the room where the Queen Mother was resting and closed the door. And the so-called Queen Mother, sitting on the stool, lifted one leg to the stool, eating snacks and shaking her legs, very happy.

"Oh, you're the queen mother now, what kind of system is this?"

"I am now the Queen Mother, I can do whatever I want, you are an old immortal, don't call me by my name, call me the Queen Mother!"

"I'm your father!"

"Picked it up. ”

"I raised you to grow up so big!"

"I haven't had a good day. ”

"And what about the craft I taught you?"

"The art of street showmanship, if I hadn't thought of this idea in my head, I would have to follow you Mabuda to drink a quilt northwest wind. Ma Pianpian tore off the mask and restored her original appearance, looking ugly, twisting her nose and mouth, and having no temperament.

"Picked so soon?

"It's going to be two hours, and no one will come to disturb my Queen Mother now. ”

As soon as Ma Pianpian finished speaking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Who?" Ma Pianpian shouted impatiently, and Ma Ma hurriedly stopped her, "Who, the Queen Mother is resting." ”

"The slave maid is the palace maid in the dining room of the palace, and Lord Cheng Yin specially instructed the slave and maid to send the special flower cake with flower petals picked this morning for the queen mother to taste. An Ronghua's voice was outside the door.
