Chapter 29: Murder (2)
The prison was dark and damp, with a disgusting smell, Chu Junxi barely found a piece of clean hay to sit down, the eerie cold surrounded her, but she didn't feel cold. Wooden bars separate the inside and the outside into two different worlds.
"Ning Jieyu hasn't been to the prison since she arrived in Gutuo, so it's better to take this opportunity to feel the taste of here." Through the heavy wooden door, the corners of Su Xueyao's mouth raised a smug smile, and the chains on the door were thick and cold.
Su Xueyao specially ordered that only Chu Junxi was alone in the huge cell, curled up alone in the corner, and the torches on the wall emitted black smoke and emitted a pungent smell.
The cell had only a small window, and it could barely be seen in the dark night sky outside, and the bright stars shone like diamonds.
There was a faint stinging pain in her right hand, Chu Junxi lowered her head, the wound cut by the scissors had long since stopped bleeding, she slowly wiped the coagulated blood clot, and the wound began to bleed again in the rubbing of her fingers.
As a princess who came to Gutuo, shouldering the safety of Hou Yan's country, no one would think that she could make Hou Yan really turn the corner with a weak woman, but the funny thing is that by mistake, she actually negotiated a deal with the prince of Gutuo, which really saved Hou Yan.
is the most ruthless emperor's family, in Hou Yan he is a princess who is not favored, no one will care about his life and death, in Gutuo, he is a princess of a defeated country, and no one will care about his life or death, and he has to work hard to live for a country that doesn't care about himself.
What a crime it is to murder a concubine, and this time he is really in a catastrophe.
Chu Junxi's eyes fell on the hay on the ground, Chen Jingxian, the woman who was the only one who was favored by the Holy Grace, why did she die in front of the Xinyue House where she lived, why did she see the process of killing, and why did her hand hurt at this time.
Isn't all this too much of a coincidence? Chu Jun cherished the fierce man from sitting up straight, and cutting the window flowers was proposed by Linglong, could it be ......
Chu Junxi shook her head, it was not because of her that she injured her hand, but because she was careless, if it was a bit far-fetched to say that she colluded with outsiders to frame herself, how could she be sure that she would definitely be injured, and she had been with her at the time, and she had no time to notify the people outside to do it, the only explanation was that it was an accident, an accident that increased the authenticity of the matter.
Chen Jingxian was killed in front of her, and the guards on patrol were there every night, if all this was a coincidence, then Su Xueyao's appearance could not be explained by two words, no one informed her of this at that time, why did she appear in such a timely manner?
The only explanation is that she is the mastermind behind it, and this is a conspiracy orchestrated for herself. How many women in the palace have died, they are young and beautiful, and before they have time to enjoy the happiness of this world, they have become piles of white bones that no one cares about. And he has to become one of them after all.
"Ning Jieyu is really relieved, she can still sleep peacefully at this time."
Chu Jun opened his eyes slowly, Su Xueyao was standing outside the door in a purple palace dress, her demeanor was elegant and bright, "There is a saying that 'don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door,' I have an open heart, how can I not sleep?" It's Concubine Su, can you sleep peacefully? ”
Su Xueyao's smile was like a warm beam of sunlight shining on her body in the cold winter, indescribably comfortable, "Even you who are about to die can sleep peacefully, how can I not sleep." ”
Since ancient times, the king of victory has been defeated, and now that he is in the hands of the other party, he naturally has nothing to say, Chu Jun lowered his eyes, and had no intention of continuing to talk to Su Xueyao.
"I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you chose to be my enemy."
"So you borrowed a knife to kill people, and killed Chen Meiren to blame me?" Chu Junxi stared at Su Xueyao coldly.
Su Xueyao still smiled elegantly, "You are very smart, but it's a pity that you have chosen a path of no return for yourself." Su Xueyao took two steps forward, "You should die when many of Xinyueju's minions die, if you die a few days earlier, it won't affect Chen Jingxian." ”
Chu Junxi suddenly realized something, her gaze staring at Su Xueyao became sharp, "You sent someone to take me to Fengyang Palace?" In order to anger the emperor and use the emperor to get rid of me with one hand, but unfortunately the emperor did not follow your plan, so you came up with a curse to make everyone dare not approach me, so that your next plan will begin, and make Xinyueju my burial place. ”
"I'm impressed with you now."
"It's a pity that I didn't die in Xinyue Residence, but I got the emperor's care because of this, so you came up with the banquet of Qingfeng Pavilion again." Chen Jingxian arrogantly regarded herself as a thorn in her side, and she couldn't wait to deal with it quickly, but at this moment, Chu Junxi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to her, it seemed to be infinitely glorious, but in fact, she was just a chess piece in the hands of others, and she didn't even know how she died. "Chen Meiren died at your hands, right?"
"Useless chess pieces naturally don't need to be kept." Su Xueyao looked directly at Chu Junxi, and her lips opened slightly, "Just like you." ”
Chu Junxi was surprised that Chen Jingxian turned out to be Su Xueyao's person, Chen Jingxian was the only one who was favored, she turned out to be an eye and ear arranged by Su Xueyao next to Yuan Yongyan, but unfortunately this eyes and ears were removed by her own hands before they could play a role.
"Isn't it worth sacrificing a henchman for me? I haven't thanked Concubine Su for her attention to me. ”
"A chess piece is a chess piece after all, no matter how noble her status is, she is still only used by others, thinking that if she gets the holy grace, she can not take me seriously, and she doesn't want to think about who brought her to today's position."
"The emperor looks at Chen Meiren differently, she is dead, and the emperor will definitely find out about the matter." She didn't believe that Su Xueyao could cover the sky with one hand.
Su Xueyao didn't care, "So, you are in prison now, killing people pays for your life, today is your death date, and the emperor can't save you when he comes." ”
Su Xueyao waved her hand, the guard opened the prison door, and a waiter stepped forward with a plate, on which were three things, poison, dagger, and white silk.
Chu Junxi's gaze slid over the three things one by one, there was no pattern on the white porcelain bottle, although he didn't know what kind of poison it was, but Chu Junxi was sure that what it contained must be highly poisonous, like a peacock daring to see blood and seal it. The dagger glowed white in the gloomy prison, eager for blood like a wild beast.
Chu Junxi's gaze finally fell on the three-foot white silk, did the suffocation after the stool fall down the same as what he had experienced? Chu Junxi stretched out his hand to touch the brocade around his neck, not wanting to imagine what kind of picture it was underneath.
"Pick one." Su Xueyao smiled, "I have always been merciful to prisoners, so you can choose the method you want to die for." ”
Chu Jun cherished the white silk in his hand, and said sideways, "Why don't you choose white silk?" What does Concubine Su think? ”
Su Xueyao made a gesture of please, "Very good." ”
The white silk was tossed high, like a gorgeous white lotus blooming in the air, and the silk flew again and again and fell to the ground.
Chu Junxi placed the stool at his feet, and then stood on it with a calm expression.
When the first emperor was alive, he should have been martyred, and he lived to the present by accident, God is not thin on himself, and if he dies, he can stay away from the fight, and he doesn't have to look at everything in this conspiracy and blood.
If you have to be the children of ordinary people in the next life, although the life is poor but real, the parents' love for their children is sincere, and the children's love for their parents is real. There may be storms as a family, but their hearts are tightly bound together.
The stool fell to the ground with a muffled sound, unusually clear in the silent cell, his hands hung down, and Chu Junxi closed his eyes.
A sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, a bright dart was nailed to the wall, the white silk was neatly separated, and Chu Jun fell to the ground in response.
Su Xueyao turned around, Yuan Yongyan was standing behind her in a bright yellow dragon robe, and she smiled lightly, "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, the emperor won't want to shield the criminals, right?" Although you are the emperor, there are some things that even the emperor can't do better. ”
Yuan Yongyan nodded, "What Concubine Su said is extremely true. ”
"So the emperor is here to see Ning Jieyu on her last journey?"
"I'm here to save people, lest Concubine Su kill innocents in a hurry."
"In a hurry? Now that the human and material evidence are there, is there anything unclear about the emperor? ”
Chu Junxi fell to the ground and coughed violently with his hands on his neck, his face turned red as if he was about to drip blood because of the excessive force.
"I don't know, but there is one person who seems to know better than us, and the concubine might as well listen to what she has to say."
Yuan Yongyan was still standing in place, and a person walked out from behind him.
