Volume 3 The Edge Chapter 13 The Scapegoat

Everything seemed to end with the suicide of the nobleman, but she was full of hope that the fight would end because of her own sacrifice. Little did she know that her death had complicated the contradictions and resentments.

Chun Xi kept asking Han Ji if she had done something wrong, and whether she shouldn't have killed others for her own selfishness.

Han Ji said that if Tongguiren did not die, it would be Chun Yin who would suffer, and it would be the child in her womb. She is for my own sister, for an unborn child. So, there is nothing wrong with this sacrifice.

They all knew in their hearts that the nobleman had just killed a palace maid by mistake, and the crime would not lead to death. The master killed the minions, which is really not a big deal.

Even in the end, at most, he was demoted, entered the cold palace, and was rejected by others. Anyway, she can stay alive.

But often, things will not go as you wish, and many people and things are like that.

No one wants to die, more people would rather live than die.

Moreover, her death was not so glorious, even her own body was mutilated.

But in the palace, what is ultimately asked is not the truth of everything, but an explanation. An account that can convince everyone.

No matter how many doubts there are, no one will deliberately open them and argue them. Because it has nothing to do with them, they don't have to worry about it anymore.

Anyone who understands the outcome of this battle knows who Tonggui died for and who he protected.

It's just that she forgot that in this court, what will never stop is fighting, and it is you who live and die.

In order to protect Chunyin, she chose not to say it and chose to hide the truth. knew who the murderer was, but she couldn't say it.

Standing in front of An Concubine's spiritual seat, Chun Xi promised that she would give her back the truth. Although she can't do it now, she will try to do it.

She was grateful for Concubine An's trust in her before she died, but she betrayed her trust. Let her death become inexplicable, and let the real murderer still be happy.

No, perhaps, the real murderer is more sad than anyone else now. Such a result may be the most unacceptable one for her.

"No matter how many arguments and resentments we had before, but now, I will only remember your saving grace to me. I will only remember that you once wanted me to help you and want to get rid of your sincerity. I'm sorry, but I can't tell the person who killed you. But one day, I'll make her pay exponentially. ”

These were the last words that Chunxi said to An Concubine's coffin, the only promise she made to her in this life, and it was also a promise to herself.

In the Chengqian Palace, it was as quiet as ever.

Concubine Tong sat on the couch and elegantly ate the fresh fruit offered by the palace maid.

Today is the eighth day after the death of Tong Guiren, and just after the first seven days, Concubine Jing is finally willing to leave from her coffin.

dragged a heavy body, and when he came to Chengqian Palace, he saw such a comfortable picture.

"Sit down." Concubine Tong commanded softly, and Concubine Jing didn't ask for peace, but sat on the couch after listening to her words.

"Eat something, you've lost weight these days." Concubine Tong handed over a silver fork with a small piece of fruit on it.

Concubine Jing looked at her blankly, her eyes empty and blank.

"You already knew, didn't you?" She asked with a soft sigh, full of resentment.

"I found out the night before, too." Seeing that Concubine Jing didn't take the fork in her hand, Concubine Tong had no choice but to send it to her mouth.

"Have you seen her?" Concubine Jing asked again, staring at her with straight eyes.

Concubine Tong remembered the night before Tong Guiren died. When she heard the news that Chunxi and Han Ji had gone out and brought someone back, she felt that something was wrong.

Later, news came that the person who brought it back was taken away by Zhang Pengrong, and she immediately asked people to inquire. I didn't expect it to turn out like that.

She was very surprised that the noble man would live, but at the same time, she also thought that if the noble person was alive, then the truth of Concubine An's death would soon be impossible to hide.

She secretly went to the place where Tong Guiren was imprisoned, and only told her the reason for An Concubine's death, and Tong Guiren naturally knew what to do.

Concubine Tong nodded: "When you did something like that, you didn't discuss it with the palace." This is the only way to do this. This palace has already lost An Concubine, and since the nobles are destined to be unable to turn over again, they can't bother you anymore. ”

"At the time, I was too impulsive." Concubine Jing sighed. She knew that after she knew that the nobleman died, she blindly resented An Concubine, which made things become what they are today.

If she waits a little longer, it will only be a day, and the nobles will not have to die for themselves.

"It's good that you know. This palace told you at the beginning that although An Concubine is rude, she will not suddenly go crazy and want to kill. At that time, before you could figure out the matter, you couldn't help but rush to the cold palace and kill people. As soon as Concubine Tong mentioned this matter, she became angry, threw down the silver fork in her hand fiercely, and lay on the pillow sideways.

"But......" Concubine Jing stood up suddenly: "But Niangniang doesn't have to use such an extreme method, can't you think of a way to do both?" ”

"Both?" Concubine Tong was troubled by her, so she stood up with the body that had just been lying down: "If there is a way to have both, will this palace not use it?" Sacrificing a nobleman in exchange for your life is already the best way. If there is time, will Hongu do this? If it weren't for your own infighting and infighting, why would this palace lose its right-hand man? ”

"If it weren't for Concubine An repeatedly hurting Qing'er, Qing'er wouldn't have done this." Jing Concubine said dissatisfiedly.

"Do you really think that the little brother was killed by An Concubine?" Concubine Tong sneered: "Concubine An no longer has a brain, but she also understands that it is her adopted son." She used to dislike it anymore and raised it for a while. With her family background, even if she has no heirs in the future, even if the emperor and ancestors complain about her today, they will not send her to the cold palace. Sooner or later, she will turn over, and the little brother will still grow up by her side, and it will be easy to become a concubine in the future. It's only good for her. Would she be stupid enough to cut off her path? ”

Hearing Concubine Tong say this, Concubine Jing also sat back on the couch, yes, all this is just the suspicion of the nobles. At the beginning, her miscarriage was not an concubine's intention, it was just a mistake.

But they can't understand the pain of a mother who loses her child, so how can they really understand the feelings of a noble person who would do this.

If it weren't for his impulsiveness, he wanted to avenge the nobles, released Concubine An from the place where the cold palace was imprisoned, and brutally killed her. Perhaps, there is nothing to follow.

Even if the nobleman is found, it can be blamed on Fang Fei and find an excuse to get out for her.

Now, it was her own impulse that killed her best sister.

She remembered what the nobleman said to her on his deathbed: "Sister, don't pursue it anymore, the matter will end with me." ”

But now that she's dead, how can she swallow it?

"If it weren't for Yi Concubine meddling, Qing'er wouldn't have been discovered and wouldn't have died." Concubine Jing cried with a sad face and said weakly.

"Although this matter was revealed because of Yi Concubine, it is too strange. And who is the guard they are talking about? Concubine Tong wondered.

"Isn't it someone who is a concubine?"

"This is not Yi Concubine's style, if it was really Yi Concubine's person, then I would have known who killed An Concubine, and I would have known that Tong Guiren was not dead. Why bother to make such a big deal to lure out the real culprit. Concubine Tong sneered.

"Could it all have been planned?"

"Perhaps, it was an unexpected opportunity. Some people are trying to make a big deal out of this matter and want to involve more people. Concubine Tong analyzed.

"Who? Could it be Rong Concubine? Concubine Jing guessed.

"Of course not. Concubine Rong is unwilling to participate in these disputes now, how can she design such a situation with her heart. Concubine Tong shook her head and denied it.

"Who's that?"

"The palace can't be sure yet, it's just that the concubines have been a little abnormal recently, so let's be careful in the future." Concubine Tong remembered that the nobleman had already confessed to her guilt at that time, but the concubine was suddenly embarrassed. If she hadn't opened her mouth, I'm afraid that Concubine Jing would have been unable to help but admit it at that time, and exonerate the nobles.

"But isn't the concubine her own person?"

"What about your own people? Aren't An Concubine and you also from this palace? Then why did you kill her and sabotage Hongu's plans? Concubine Tong suddenly glanced sideways at Concubine Jing.

Jing Concubine has a weak heart, no longer talking, thinking about the situation that day, the concubine is indeed a little weird.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Concubine Tong didn't say any more, thinking about the future.

At this time, in the Changchun Palace, the concubines were indeed full of joy.

For her, this series of deaths is something to be happy about.

She no longer has to see Concubine An's arrogant face, nor does she have to see the noble man holding the little brother in the imperial garden. She moved her mouth and lost a guard, but in exchange for such a big gain.

Originally, she was still thinking about pulling Concubine Jing into the water, but she didn't expect that the noble person would take it alone. However, it doesn't hurt. In the long run, she will always let those she doesn't like get the most miserable end.

Yan Wan was on the side, looking at her happiness at this time, and also fell into deep thought.

Since she came to Changchun Palace, the concubine has trusted her very much. Although he didn't tell her everything, he taught her attentively. Naturally, all she was taught was her own personal experience over the years.

The concubine really seems to want to use her and get the favor of the emperor.

It's just that Yan Wan has never been able to understand her heart, and she doesn't know what she is thinking about every day. followed her every day, and even when Han Ji entered the palace a few days ago, she didn't have a chance to meet her.

She didn't know what kind of life her master was living in Prince Yu's mansion, and she didn't know if what she was going to do had been successful. (Palace's Gate.. /31/31987/)--
