Chapter 209: Questioning King Qin
Outside, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the flakes of snow carried by the cold wind swept over the carved cornices. With a 'snap', the window was suddenly blown open by the wind, and the cold wind surged with snowflakes, raising the curtain hanging on the pillars, and blowing the flames in the charcoal pot 'rustling'.
The two people facing each other were not disrupted by the cold wind in the slightest.
Biyun glanced at the two of them with red eyes, and finally got up and closed the wind-blown window.
As soon as the window closed, the whistling wind instantly receded, and the room became dead silent.
"It's not you, who else is ......" Finally, Xiao Xiwei's cold tone softened, with an indescribable sadness.
Chu Yanzhi pressed his chest, and a sneer appeared in his ink-colored eyes, "Who can let Gu Qingyou take such a risk willingly, you are so smart, how could you not think of it?" ”
Listening to Chu Yanzhi's words, Xiao Xi raised his head slightly, his originally cold eyes seemed to have been splashed with a layer of heavy ink, and there was unbelievable horror in the cold. After a while, she struggled to find her voice, "No...... No...... Impossible. ”
"Princess, don't believe his words, His Royal Highness King Qin will not do this." Ziyan was startled, bounced up from the ground, and pulled the corner of Xiao Xiwei's clothes and said eagerly.
Ziyan's words shocked Xiao Xi slightly, and she forced herself to calm down and raised her eyes to look at Chu Yanzhi again, "This...... That's what you're really for, right? Push everything on King Qin? Chu Yanzhi, I'm Xiao Xiwei...... In your opinion, you are not a fool? ”
The coldness in Chu Yan's eyes was even worse, he raised his sword eyebrows, and the corners of his lips lifted a very cold smile, "Who dares to treat you as a fool?" You Xiao Xiwei is extremely smart, who in this world dares to treat you as a fool......" Speaking of this, his voice suddenly lowered, his brows tightened, reflecting the bright red of his palm, which made him pale, and he lowered his eyes and smiled, but his face was bitter, "How can I expect you to believe me...... What am I in your eyes? You can do whatever you want, after all, you have never cared about me in your heart......" After that, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Xiwei deeply, then smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around slowly, dragged his steps slowly, and walked out step by step.
Xiao Xi turned around slightly stiffly, and just walked to the couch, but before he sat down, he suddenly remembered an exclamation outside.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"Quick, help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the house."
After a rush of footsteps, the outside of the house was quiet again.
Xiao Xi helped the little ones to sit on the couch slowly, she looked at the flames burning in the charcoal basin, and her eyes were so faint that there was no trace of emotion.
"Miss, if you are sad, cry." Biyun walked up to Xiao Xiwei, reached out to hold her arm, and couldn't help crying.
This night.
Yongchun Palace is brightly lit.
The cold wind howled outside, like a whistle blown by many people together, with a sadness that invaded the bone marrow.
It's just that outsiders don't care about your so-called miserableness, they say more, but it is Princess Yan's eight characters that are very strong, and Kefu is Kezi......
Just when this rumor was spreading rapidly in the capital, Chu Muzhi, the king of Qin, hurriedly went to Yongchun Palace.
Xiao Xi bowed his head slightly and sat on the warm couch, holding a delicate red gold bracelet in his hand.
This hand, Chu Muzhi recognized it after just one glance, it was Chu Tianye's.
Chu Muzhi frowned, and looked at Xiao Xiwei worriedly, "Imperial sister-in-law, everything has happened, you still have to look at some ......"
Listening to Chu Muzhi's words, Xiao Xiwei's hand paused, she slowly raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, but there was a strange undercurrent surging in her eyes, "Look away...... If it were you, would you see it? ”
Chu Muzhi's eyebrows twisted, and a trace of discomfort crossed his eyes, "Imperial sister-in-law......"
Xiao Xi slightly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, suddenly changed the topic, and said, "Have you sent someone to Wucheng?" ”
Chu Muzhi was stunned at first, he subconsciously glanced around, and then said, "Imperial sister-in-law, didn't you already know this." ”
Xiao Xi's slightly slender eyelashes slowly drooped, I know that you are looking for it, but I don't know......" Speaking of this, she raised her head again, and the slender phoenix eyes suddenly had frost and quickly crept up, but the corners of her mouth still had that faint smile, "You, aren't you going to tell me?" ”
Chu Muzhi's eyebrows gradually twisted, and his expression gradually became a little solemn, "Sister-in-law, what did he tell you?" ”
"What did he say?" Xiao Xi's slightly slender eyebrows were raised, and the smile on the corner of his lips turned cold.
Chu Muzhi's brows furrowed, he looked at Xiao Xiwei, and after a while, he slowly spoke, "Imperial sister-in-law, I have also been forced by the situation to get to this point, you should be able to understand!" ”
Xiao Xi stared at Chu Muzhi's eyes slightly, and after a long time, she suddenly smiled, "Hongyu, bring the things up." ”
"Yes." Hongyu blessed his body, then turned around and carefully picked up the tray placed in the corner and put it on the black wood table next to Xiao Xiwei.
"Does the prince know this purse?" When he said this, Xiao Xi's slightly cold gaze stared at Chu Muyi motionlessly.
Chu Muzhi frowned and shook his head, not understanding why Xiao Xiwei had come to this point.
"Won't the prince pick it up and take a look?" Xiao Xi smiled, staring at Chu Muzhi's eyes with a trace of coldness.
Chu Mu frowned, looking at Xiao Xiwei's eyes with a trace of confusion, "Imperial sister-in-law, so decent, what are you letting me do with this purse?" ”
"What, doesn't the prince dare?" Xiao Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Looking at Xiao Xiwei's expression, Chu Muzhi's eyebrows tightened more and more, "Imperial sister-in-law, what do you want to do?" ”
Seeing that Chu Muzhi didn't move for a long time, Xiao Xi lowered her eyes and laughed slightly, she smiled and laughed, and tears fell, "What do I want to do...... What do you say I want to do? I just want to know who killed Ye'er! I just want the truth! Speaking of this, Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Muzhi's eyes, and suddenly a terrifying resentment burst out.
Xiao Xiwei's words really surprised Chu Muzhi, "Imperial sister-in-law, you, what do you mean by this?" ”
He suddenly wondered if he had heard it wrong, but Xiao Xiwei's expression reminded him that those words really came out of her mouth just now.
She's suspicious......
Did he kill Tianye?
"What else could I mean? His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I can understand that you were forced by the situation to take the place of Xi Zhi to compete with Chu Yanzhi for the world, but Ye'er ...... Did you kill Ye'er because of the situation? Xiao Xi stared at Chu Muzhi's eyes with resentment, and said with tears in his eyes.
"I didn't hurt Ye'er! Imperial sister-in-law! Chu Muzhi strode up to Xiao Xiwei, stretched out his hand and held her shoulders hard, his dark pupils were full of anxiety and discomfort, "Sister-in-law, what did he tell you, you actually doubt me like this?" All this, all this is all his conspiracy, he wants to drive a wedge between us! Sister-in-law, wake up, don't be deceived by him. Chu Muyi said loudly while shaking Xiao Xiwei's shoulder.
"Let go. Let go. I'll let you go! Xiao Xi roared slightly, reached out and pushed Chu Muzhi hard.
Perhaps because her movements were too big, when Chu Muzhi was pushed away by her, the plain white jade hairpin on her head fell to the ground with a 'snap' and fell into two, and the green silk on her head also scattered.
"Imperial sister-in-law! It's not me! Don't fall for his divisive schemes! Chu Muzhi was anxious and angry.
"Then why don't you dare touch this purse?" Xiao Xiwei's eyes stared at Chu Muzhi motionlessly, and his voice was as cold as an ice edge.
In fact, the purse in the tray in front of him was not the one sent by Gu Qingyou, the purse was cleared out of the Yongchun Palace after it was discovered that he had done something, this purse was just made by Hongyu overnight according to the appearance of Gu Qingyou's purse, if you look closely, you can still distinguish it, but unfortunately, Chu Muzhi did not take a closer look.
"Imperial sister-in-law, why do you mention this purse again and again? Does this purse have anything to do with me? Chu Muzhi suddenly felt that he had caught something.
Xiao Xi snorted coldly and stared at Chu Muzhi's answer.
"Lord Wang, this purse was given to His Royal Highness King Ning by Miss Gu Liu." Hongyu raised his head and looked at Chu Mudao expressionlessly.
"Clear ...... Quiet? A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Mu's eyes, and then he frowned, still puzzled, "Even if this purse was given to Ye'er by Qingyou, then what's the problem?" ”
A trace of pain flashed on Hongyu's face, "The purse sent by Miss Gu was tampered with. ”
Chu Muzhi's pupils opened suddenly, "You mean...... Ye'er's smallpox is because of the purse sent by Qingyu? No...... It's impossible! Imperial sister-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding in the middle? No...... This must be his conspiracy! Imperial sister-in-law, this must be his conspiracy! ”
Xiao Xi raised her eyes slightly to look at Chu Muzhi, and tears fell down little by little, but her eyes were so cold that she didn't have half a temperature, "I also want to believe your words, I also thought that all this was Chu Yanzhi's game, but ...... His Royal Highness King Qin, do you say that the thing of power is poisonous, and whoever is contaminated will become unrecognizable? ”
"Imperial Sister-in-law......"
"In your eyes, am I still your imperial sister-in-law? Am I not a vain woman who clings to power? Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Muzhi and said with a sneer.
"Sister-in-law, I said those words that day just to remind you to stay away from him, I am for your good." Chu Muzhi frowned.
Xiao Xi slowly closed her eyes, letting the tears roll down her cheeks, she bit the corner of her lip and did not speak.
"Sister-in-law, I admit that I want the help of the Loyal and Brave Houfu and your brother, but even if I don't say this, I believe you will be on my side. How could I attack Tianye because of this. I'm so good with Brother Qi, how could I attack his only son! I have no reason to do that! Chu Muzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei eagerly and explained.
"No, you have." Xiao Xi's slightly cold voice followed suit, "Of course you wouldn't have done anything to Ye'er in the past, but when you knew that your father intended to help Tianye to contain the crown prince, when you saw me and the prince getting closer and closer, do you think that the Zhongyong Houfu is no longer of use to you?" That's why you will attack Ye'er...... Without Ye'er, I still have Zhongyong Houfu, won't I take the opportunity to help Ye'er take the position? And once Ye'er is gone, I don't even have to think about it, I will definitely blame the prince for all this! In this way, I and Zhongyong Houfu are equivalent to a complete break with the prince, and we can only be loyal to you! Don't you think so? ”
