Chapter 235: The Victory Is Decided
Yi Chenjing sent Concubine Jing to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion and then hurried back to the Yao Palace, the Yao Emperor had already arrived one step ahead of him, and before he entered the door, he saw Tao Gonggong frequently glancing at him, indicating that the Yao Emperor was in anger at the moment. However, at this time, Yi Chenjing didn't care whether Emperor Yao was happy or angry, and if he didn't take this opportunity to bring down Yi Chenxuan, who knew how many crises there would be in the future.
Fang wanted to push the door to enter, and Bai Qige's voice in the room came clearly, word by word, arguing with reason.
Whether he was there or not, she always acted perfectly as he wanted, never letting him have worries, and it was because of her that there was a ray of light on the bitter and dark road, so as not to make him overwhelmed and go crazy. It is a lifetime of happiness to have Bai Qige as his wife, but sometimes he is still confused and contradictory, obviously caring about her and cherishing her, but he doesn't dare to show it too obviously, for fear that she will become his weakness and suffer from it, and he is also afraid that her independent character will get bored with him one day.
"You honestly tell me whether you were the one who kidnapped Concubine Jing and injured her."
The sharp question interrupted Yi Chenjing's miscellaneous thoughts, his palm trembled slightly, and his expression immediately returned to cold and cold, pushed open the door and walked into the room. Without asking for peace or inquiry, Yi Chenjing just stood quietly three steps behind Emperor Yao, far exceeding the intimate distance between father and son.
Emperor Yao couldn't help coughing twice, wanting to ask something, but he didn't open his mouth, and a trace of anxiety in his eyes was fleeting.
"Seventh brother, how is Concubine Jingniang. Is it dangerous. Yi Chenxuan asked pretending to be concerned.
Yi Chenjing's eyes were cold, and he showed no mercy: "You still have the heart to continue acting." ”
The two sides are hostile and naturally have no good words, Yi Chenxuan's reaction to Yi Chenjing is not surprised, what surprised him is Emperor Yao, who had previously tried to protect him, was silent at this time, as if he did not see or hear Yi Chenjing's hostility and hatred, and indulged Yi Chenjing's aggressiveness like conniving at his many sinister tricks.
That's what ...... The true attitude of the father.
Slowly turning his head to look at Emperor Yao, the old man's face was angry and still couldn't hide his disappointment, as if he had made a decision to end this dispute that had lasted for many years, but Yi Chenxuan didn't want to give up yet, and made the last struggle with luck: "Doesn't my father believe in his sons." The son swore to heaven that he would never do anything to be sorry for his father,"
"Your oath is so cheap that you can sell it as you like." With a deep sigh, Emperor Yao straightened up, completely giving up expectations that he shouldn't have. With a wave of his hand, Commander Hua comprehended, and with an order, he led people to surround Yi Chenxuan, and two people directly stepped forward to clamp their arms, and the noble prince Dayao became a prisoner in a blink of an eye.
The change in the situation was unexpected, Bai Qige was a little confused, looking at Yi Chenjing, Qingjun's face had no expression, as if he knew everything that would happen, and he couldn't help but be gloomy.
At some point, a huge gulf arose between him and her, and they could no longer stand side by side.
The outcome has already been decided, and there is no point in pretending any longer. After the incident at the east window, Yi Chenxuan became calm and composed, and the corners of his lips were stunned, and he didn't see half of the respectful humility he should have: "Can my father tell his son the reason?" Could it be that only a few words from others can convict the retainers, and they don't even need evidence. ”
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't want to regret it and intensified, and even the innocent Concubine Jing was poisoned by you...... Xuan'er, you still refuse to admit it. Okay, then I don't have to hide it, I expected that Concubine Jing might be here," After a pause, Emperor Yao let out a long breath, and his face showed a little tiredness, "The half of the bloody footprints in Concubine Jing's room were deliberately left by you, right?" You want me to think that Su Rao kidnapped Concubine Jing in an attempt to take revenge on you and Jing'er, but you missed a little, Su Rao's clothes and shoes have never been changed after returning to the dust hall from the forbidden room, and she was wearing straw sandals worn by prisoners when she escaped from the dust room, how could she leave the footprints of the embroidered shoes worn by the palace concubine. If Concubine Jing was not robbed by her, then you are the only one left to be suspicious. ”
The violent cough interrupted Emperor Yao's explanation, Gonggong Tao hurriedly stepped forward to pour water and send medicine, Yi Chenjing glanced at Emperor Yao, who was panting heavily, and took over: "Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, you want to use Su Rao's hand to kill your mother and then blame her, and make the illusion of hurting your mother because you hate me, and then make me and my father disagree because of this." When Qige told me that my father Su Rao and I might be hidden by Concubine Jin, and that the search of the palace might have made Concubine Jin let Su Rao go and instigated her to come here to kill you, I thought it was too late, but I really didn't expect that what we came in a hurry to see was exactly the scene of your murder. ”
The right time and place. Yi Chenxuan raised his head and laughed silently. The time and place were originally occupied, and what really made him fall short was the man who looked the same as Su Jinyan, if it wasn't for the man who suddenly made a move to obstruct it, he would have manipulated Su Rao to kill Concubine Jing, how could there be so many twists and turns. However, Yi Chenxuan had to admit that he underestimated Yi Chenjing, and the negligence of the half footprint was actually discovered, and Bai Qige's ability to speculate on Su Rao's hiding place should not be underestimated.
Thinking about it, Yi Chenxuan suddenly burst out laughing.
Is it useful to think about it now? What we should think about is how to turn the tide and at least keep our lives safe.
"My father often taught my sons to be strict and fair in how they behave, but why can't my father do it himself." Yi Chenxuan shook off the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion who restrained him, pulled out the folds of his sleeves, and looked as calm and relaxed as before, "What my father and seventh brother said just now is just speculation, and there is no real evidence, is it too hasty to judge the guilt of the son in this case." If the prince violates the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, then he should have the same right as ordinary people to resist the planting of blame, otherwise he will become a laughing stock in the world. ”
Yi Chenxuan grew up in the palace since he was a child, and his understanding of Emperor Yao is naturally three points deeper than Yi Chenjing, and if he wants to block the mouth of his father, who has a good face, he must threaten the people with rumors. The facts are just as Yi Chenxuan expected, these words sound sonorous and powerful, and it is not unreasonable to say it, so that Emperor Yao is speechless, although he can't find any other reasonable explanation and knows Yi Chenxuan's true face, but when it comes to evidence, whether it is Emperor Yao or Yi Chenjing...... I really can't take it out.
Seeing that the father and son were powerless to refute, Yi Chenxuan became more and more confident, and his every move and word seemed to have been greatly wronged and insulted, and the innocent prince who was wronged was vividly interpreted: "What, what Erchen said is not right." The father was angry because Concubine Jing was injured, but there is no evidence that Concubine Jing was robbed and imprisoned and stabbed by her son, even if the father Emperor Long Wei was angry, he should not arrest people indiscriminately, after all, there are no people guarding the three gates of this remote palace, and it is easy for anyone to come in, and it can't be counted on the head of the retainer just because the person is found in the remote palace. What do you say, Father? ”
"How many mysteries are hidden in the Yao Xuan Palace, who else can say clearly besides you. When Qige came here and was almost victimized by your soft incense, it was not easy for others to break in unscathed. If it's not you, who else can there be? ”
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." Yi Chenxuan sneered sarcastically.
Yi Chenxuan's sophistry made Yi Chenjing angry, remembering all the old things and grievances, and it was even more difficult to hold himself, and he was far less calm than Bai Qige, and all this was all in the eyes of Emperor Yao, and the thin figure reflected in the dark black pupils did not have the slightest warmth.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Yi Chenjing's words made Emperor Yao have other thoughts, but it was an important reminder for Bai Qige.
Poison, incense.
"The fifth prince wants evidence, right? I have. Bai Qige suddenly spoke, and as soon as the words fell, several people were surprised. Completely ignoring Emperor Yao's questioning eyes, Bai Qige walked to Su Rao's corpse and tore off a piece of clothing, sniffed it closely, and then frowned: "When I first came to the Yao Palace, I had just entered the palace, and the biggest feeling was that the Yao Qi Hall was different from other palaces, and even the incense used was unique; Later, I was threatened by the five princes in the remote hall, and the five princes used incense with foreign objects to make people weak, and at that moment I understood that the fragrance of the remote hall was unique but could not be smelled casually. ”
"Full of nonsense, I just love strange fragrances, if these incense is really as magical as you say, can you still stand here with red mouth and white teeth and slander wantonly." In the face of Bai Qige's so-called "evidence" Yi Chenxuan was disdainful, he was a master of making and using drugs, how to erase the traces after using poisonous incense could not be simpler, just like the piece of clothing that Bai Qige was holding now, the poisonous Wulang flower rice on it had played a huge role, but after the effect of the medicine was distributed, it could not be found out, what was there to worry about.
Bai Qige shook his head, and his lips, which were as pale as water, curled with confidence: "Do the five princes think I'm talking about the taste of Su Rao's body." It didn't take long for her to come to the palace from the harem, at most she was dyed with some fragrance on the way to the bedroom, so the evidence I said was not Su Rao, but Concubine Jing. Without giving Yi Chenxuan a chance to react and think, Bai Qige suddenly turned to Emperor Yao with a serious expression: "Please ask the emperor to immediately send someone to fetch the clothes on Concubine Jing's mother, just compare the fragrance left on Concubine Jing and Concubine Jing and Su Rao respectively, and you can immediately distinguish whether what the five princes said is the truth." ”
Emperor Yao and his two outstanding sons are both wise people, and after thinking about Bai Qige's train of thought, he instantly understood what she meant, if Yi Chenxuan's words were true, then Concubine Jing should be the same as Su Rao, with only the same fragrance on her body when she passed through the outer courtyard of the Yao Qi Palace; On the contrary, it shows that Su Rao and Concubine Jing did not come to the palace together, and Su Rao's claim that she robbed Concubine Jing is self-defeating, and more importantly, this is very likely to be the most favorable proof that Yi Chenxuan is the real murderer who kidnapped Concubine Jing.
If Concubine Jing had been in the palace for the past few days since she disappeared, the intensity of the fragrance on her body would definitely be stronger than that of others.
Incense is a common thing in the palace, and it is difficult to find it if you don't pay attention to it, including Yi Chenxuan himself, who didn't realize that it would become a fatal negligence. After being stunned for a moment, the five princes of Da Yao, who had never admitted their crimes, finally gave up their stubborn resistance, and their sneers gradually turned into arrogant laughter, and their eyes were full of helplessness and resentment when they were forced into a desperate situation.
"Bai Qige, I should have killed you in the first place."
Word for word, gnashing of teeth.
