Volume 2 Watching Chapter 18 Pain Strikes the Heart
When he walked out of the gate of the Criminal Division, he saw Zhang Pengrong and an official he had never seen coming.
"Who put people in?" When the man saw that he had come out of the prison, he was furious, and immediately yelled at the guard in front of the door.
"My lord, this ...... Be...... It's Yi Concubine Niangniang......" words that made the adult dare not be presumptuous anymore.
No matter how big the official is, he must give the emperor's woman a few thin faces. What's more, she is still a woman who is deeply favored by the emperor.
"Xiaguan Shen Xing Si Lang Zhong Bacha see Yi Concubine Niangniang."
Zhang Pengrong saw him salute, and muttered her name again, only then did he understand her true identity, and immediately followed suit.
"Master Zhang." Chunxi walked to Zhang Pengrong's side, and Mu Hui immediately stepped forward to pull him. "I'm sorry for hiding our identities all along, and thank you for your help many times."
Although Zhang Pengrong was surprised, he could also think of her and Xuan Ye's purpose. It turns out that the person who has always called him a brother and sister is the current saint, and the woman in front of him is a favorite concubine.
"Niangniang is too modest, and the lower officials are just doing their best, not enough to worry about." Zhang Pengrong couldn't imagine how complicated his mood was at the moment. He thought that he was ordered to investigate a homicide case today, but when he saw Chunxi coming out of prison, he realized that it was not as simple as he imagined.
"My lord, this matter can be a little complicated. Unlike the cases you have investigated in the past, Chunxi also hopes that adults can help. ”
Zhang Pengrong nodded and agreed.
"This time, I'm going to bother Master Zhang again. As long as the case can be clarified and Han Ji is innocent, Chunxi will definitely be grateful. Chunxi still couldn't recover because of the scene when she saw Han Ji in prison just now, and she had mixed feelings when she saw Zhang Pengrong at this time. She couldn't even open her mouth to ask him, but she had to.
"Rest assured, Yu Gong and private officials will go all out. As for thanks, forget it. Since Niangniang trusts Xia Guan so much, it is already the best reward. Hearing the name of Han Ji in Chunxi's mouth, he knew that what was being imprisoned in this prison was actually the six-grade ceremony that the emperor had personally sealed some time ago.
He remembered the back he saw last time in front of the Fangzhou Inn, it must have been her. He was also curious about what kind of woman this was, and how she could get involved in such a turmoil.
"Hearing the adult's words, Chunxi can finally rest assured." Chunxi bowed her head and thanked her, hearing Zhang Pengrong's words, she seemed to have hope in her heart.
In the past two years, Zhang Pengrong has cracked a lot of cases in the Criminal Department, and he is honest and honest. In the eyes of many people he helped, this is a good official for the country and the people. Chun Xi couldn't help but feel that it was really a lucky thing to be able to meet him back then.
"Niangniang, the lower officials will also do their best."
As they talked, they completely forgot that there was a person beside them who was kneeling and afraid to get up.
Chun Xi walked up to him, looked down at him, and said sharply: "Regardless of whether the adults have tortured Han Ji or not, last night's incident is over." But I still find that adults treat a weak woman like this, and I believe that adults will not want to know what I will say in front of the emperor. ”
"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare." The man really couldn't stand the fright, and Chunxi suddenly understood. How could such a person have the courage to do something to Han Ji. It seems that someone is getting in the way and wants to kill her.
Chunxi didn't pay any more attention to him, said goodbye to Zhang Pengrong, and left.
The autumn breeze is bleak, even though the beautiful scenery is still the same, but I have no intention of enjoying it anymore.
After passing through the gates of the palace, Chunxi did not return to Yikun Palace, but went to Chengqian Palace.
Even Mu Hui's persuasion was useless, and Chun Xi was determined to meet Concubine Tong for a while at the moment.
This is the first time she has been here, this palace that is separated from her Yikun Palace.
If you say that you are angry, you can't describe what Chunxi looks like now. She really couldn't stand what Concubine Tong was doing today, how could she be so ruthless.
Seeing the situation of Chunxi, the palace maid in front of the door had already been frightened and ran towards Concubine Tong's bedroom.
In the main hall, Chunxi watched the belated Concubine Tong come in from the door, she saluted, but did not sit down.
Concubine Tong sat on the couch, looking at her, the two glanced at each other, and Chunxi only saw disdain and sympathy in her eyes, as well as the face that always kept smiling.
But she didn't have her turn to sympathize. Chun Xi said in her heart, why did this woman with a heart like a femme fatale sit here and look at herself with such eyes.
"Why did you do this to her?" This sentence was almost shouted, and he couldn't care about his identity or future. At this moment, she really wanted to see what kind of ugly face there was under this gentle and charitable face.
"What are you talking about?" Concubine Wan seemed to be frightened and shrank back.
What a disgusting tone, what a disgusting look. Who is going to show such a hypocrisy?
"Don't you understand what Chunxi is talking about? Still don't want to understand? What did she do to make you go to great lengths to put her to death, you and my grievances, why bother to involve others. Seeing this, Chunxi sneered and took a few steps closer to her.
"Yi Concubine, what frightened you? How can you say some nonsense that this palace can't understand. Concubine Tong was not timid because of her accusation, but was concerned about it.
She stood up, took Chunxi's hand, and looked left and right, as if she were looking at a patient.
Chun Xi broke free from her hand, and sneered again: "Why do you have to pretend? Now there are only two of you and me in the temple, why don't you spread out the words. You are angry, you come at me, she is innocent. If you lose something, why should you pay for it with someone else's life? She doesn't owe you, at most she tells you less of the truth. It was you who refused to ask, and asked her to enter the palace without finding out. Why did you want to destroy her? ”
"Yi Concubine said and laughed, Han Ji ended up in such a field today, what does it have to do with me? Whether she is good friends with you or not, whether she is sincere with me, I don't care. She's just one of my teachers, I have no grudges with Yi Concubine, why bother to hurt you? ”
Seeing Concubine Tong answer so calmly, she laughed at herself. How did she do it? When others accuse her, she is always kind. It seems that she looks like a crazy woman, and she is stimulated to talk nonsense in front of her.
"How long are you going to pretend? Why don't you dare to admit it? Chun Xi roared angrily.
"Come on, go and ask the imperial doctor, it seems that Yi Concubine is not lightly ill, shouldn't she be burned." Concubine Tong didn't pay attention to Chunxi's anger at this time, she reached out and stroked Chunxi's forehead, and then immediately ordered the palace maid in front of the door.
She was full of anger, but there was nowhere to go, what could she do to her now? It's all like this, and you dare to talk nonsense about others.
"Niangniang doesn't need to behave anymore, whether Chunxi is sick or not, whether she needs to ask a doctor, Chunxi knows best in her heart. Since Niangniang doesn't want to admit it, Chunxi is no longer reluctant. But Niangniang must remember everything today, if history repeats itself one day, I'm afraid Niangniang will not be able to bear it. ”
Chun Xi took her hand away, and every word was very forceful, as if it was not like she was talking to her, but to herself. She wants to keep in mind what she has done today, and she will give it back to her.
"What Niangniang wants to see is nothing more than misfortune, but unfortunately, Niangniang's hope will never come true."
Dropping the last sentence, Chun Xi turned to leave. She could even hear the laughter coming from inside as she went out, it was a triumphant laugh. Just like when they worked together to take the queen's position away from Tong Ruofei.
It seems that she saw the pain of Concubine Tong at that time, isn't she like this now? It doesn't hurt so much to lose a child, lose a reputation, or lose a life. Han Ji is the person she can't live without, her savior, and the person who loves her as if she were her own sister. She can't lose it, absolutely not.
She suddenly felt that she really should have listened to Mu Hui's words and should not have come here. How could such a powerful person as Concubine Tong be afraid of her criticism in a few words.
There is no evidence of Han Ji's innocence, and there is no evidence that these things are related to her.
Every time, every thing, it seems like this. There are clues that she did all this, but there is a lack of evidence every time.
After returning to Yikun Palace, I saw Fu'er come in to report on today's affairs in the court.
Those envoys from the West really refused to give up. Someone has to take care of it, someone has to shut them up.
Chun Xi can almost imagine the scene of Xuan Ye fighting with his tongue on top of the court. He's always defended her, she knows.
The pressure in the court, she can't help him, and she can't share it with him. What can she do now? Watching all this, and then powerless?
No, she can't let Xuan Ye take care of these things. If he hadn't found out the truth, Xuan Ye wouldn't have killed Han Ji because he wouldn't have killed him. But what about Han Ji's reputation? No, you can't do without.
She has worked hard over the years, and what she cherishes most is her reputation. If the real culprit can't be found, Han Ji is afraid that he would rather die than live.
This thing seems simple, but it is so complicated. Now that Han Ji is in a coma, no one can know exactly how that moment happened.
But she doesn't believe in this evil, there are so many people, there is always one who sees what happened, and there is always one person who can prove Han Ji's innocence.
What should she do? Let Xuan Ye check all the people present that day one by one? It's not difficult, but will they tell the truth?
She suddenly remembered that she didn't even have the object of suspicion, so where to start?
This matter must not have been done by the people around Concubine Tong, she was so careful and so resolute in denying it, she must have just manipulated behind the scenes, so who carried it out?
