Chapter 181: Conviction

readx;

The pattern of the peace pendant is very special, it can be recognized at a glance, Luo Ling's face is very ugly, he asked: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Rui...... Where does the peace pendant on your waist come from?"

Late autumn glanced at Luo Ling in surprise, Luo Ling is a very measured person, and he is very calm outside on weekdays, but now he is reckless and reckless to ask King Rui, but it is a little abrupt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Rui Wang greets you, that is Rui Wang is in a good mood, it is your honor, you take the initiative to greet Rui Wang, and it depends on whether people are willing to pay attention to you.

Unexpectedly, today's Rui Wang gave him extra face, he untied the peace pendant on his waist, played with it in his hand, and said with a lazy smile: "This was given to me by a girl." ”

Shen Qiu: "......"

King Rui has said too much today! Why should these "romantic affairs" be said in front of the two of them who have never known each other. Shen Qiu was very embarrassed, the more he knew about some things, the sooner he died, but he was not interested in King Rui's private affairs at all, why did Luo Ling ask these things.

Luo Ling's face became more and more pale, and he stared uncontrollably at the peace pendant in King Rui's hand. However, King Rui only glanced at him, and casually hung the peace pendant on his waist. said to Shen Qiu: "This king still has something to do, so I won't talk to General Shen more." General Shen will be free in the future, and he can come to the Rui Wangfu to sit. He said with a smile: "This king really wants to have a discussion with General Shen." ”

With that, as soon as he pulled the reins, the horse raised its hooves and left in a dashing manner. Leaving Shen Qiu and the others to stand still.

Shen Qiu muttered: "Could it be that this Rui King wants to win me over?"

Although his martial arts are indeed outstanding, King Rui may have fallen in love with his martial arts at a glance. Shen Qiu was complacent, and suddenly saw Luo Ling's abnormal face on the side. I felt a little strange, so I asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you? You are not feeling well, why are you so ugly?"

Luo Ling came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, let's go back." ”

"Good. Shen Qiu glanced at the end of the street where King Rui disappeared again, and said, "It seems that King Rui still likes that girl very much, and he actually hangs the love token around his waist, and I don't know which girl has this honor, but I am afraid that I will wake up laughing when I dream." ”

Shen Qiu had a big heart, but he didn't notice that on the way back, Luo Ling's steps were staggering.

It was as if it had been hit hard.

......

Sure enough, as everyone expected, the assassination of Huangfu Hao in Mingqi was ultimately involved in a lot of trouble. Although the people of the prince's faction have been avenging the prince, the criminal department has not moved, as if they want to lock the prince down for a long time.

Emperor Wen Hui's move also made the courtiers begin to have a new look. As soon as the prince was imprisoned, some people saw that the momentum was not right, and they turned around and threw themselves into the door of other princes. The pattern of the imperial court has changed again, this is a later story, not to mention.

The wind was cold at night, and during the day, Luo Tan and Luo Tan went out to buy the fabrics to be bought for the New Year, Luo Xueyan said that the two of them were big girls, and they had to make a few more sets of clothes, and they almost visited the entire Dingjing City. When he returned to the house, Rao was tired and felt a little tired.

Let Jing Zhen and Gu Yu go to put the water, Shen Miao came out of the bath, and saw that there was one more person in the house.

When Xie Jingxing turned around, what he saw was Shen Miao wearing a middle coat and holding a handkerchief in one hand and twisting her wet hair.

The girl is different from two years ago, although she is still petite, she is like a budding flower bone, green but fragrant. The middle coat is wide and slightly moist, and it seems that she can see the slender figure inside through the outside, and under the flickering lights, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her eyes seem to be covered with a layer of mist, her hair is black and wet, and it is close to her cheeks, and the more she goes down, the more she can see the snow-white ...... that is nothing.

Xie Jingxing didn't open his eyes, and before Shen Miao could react, he saw a thick cloak thrown at her, almost knocking her down. After hugging the cloak tightly, Shen Miao said angrily: "What are you doing?"

"Put it on. Xie Jingxing frowned: "No one cares about the cold." ”

Shen Miao was angry, this person can always say good things that are annoying, but she did feel a little cold, so she put the cloak in again.

Xie Jingxing glanced back at her, and saw that Shen Miao didn't seem to care about the extra man in the room at all, and continued to twist his hair with the old god there, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Don't blame Shen Miao for not having this mind, she admired Fu Xiuyi in her previous life, but it was wishful thinking from beginning to end, and the two were never happy. When Fu Xiuyi played with her, the most she did was gratitude and respect. As for those images that make people blush and heartbeat...... No. Later, she was the queen, and the most she did every day was to face the three thousand beautiful beauties in the palace, and the most she saw was the eunuchs, so she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her appearance.

She walked over and sat down while twisting her hair, and when she saw Xie Jingxing looking at herself thoughtfully, she didn't know why her face was hot, so she asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I thought you wouldn't be shy. Xie Jingxing said lazily: "It's okay, I'm finally relieved." ”

Shen Miao was inexplicable.

Xie Jingxing propped his chin and looked at her and asked, "What are you looking for me for?"

Today, it was Shen Miao who asked Congyang to call Xie Jingxing over, anyway, there was a messenger in the house, so there was no need to use it in vain. But it's really easy to use from Yang, isn't Xie Jingxing coming now?

Shen Miao stopped curling her hair, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Pei hasn't replied to me for a long time, you can inquire about Dingwangfu for me, is there something wrong with Mr. Pei?" When Shen Miao said the word "Mr. Pei", she was still a little hesitant. She didn't take the initiative to tell Xie Jingxing about Pei Lang, but with Xie Jingxing's means, I am afraid that she would have already figured out the relationship between Pei Lang and her. Pei Lang used to send her letters every once in a while, conveying some things about the Dingwang Mansion, but no letters came these days. Shen Miao guessed that something was wrong, if there was no Xie Jingxing, she would go directly to Fengxian Pawnshop, since there was Xie Jingxing, Ji Yushu and Xie Jingxing were together, so she would directly entrust it to Xie Jingxing.

Hearing this, Xie Jingxing's eyes paused for a moment, and he looked at her meaningfully: "Pei Lang?" He said lightly: "You care about him very much." ”

Shen Miao frowned: "I'm not the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge. No matter how much she was dissatisfied and complained about Pei Lang in her previous life, Pei Lang was on her side in this life, and she couldn't do anything treacherous.

Xie Jingxing nodded casually: "Okay, I'll inquire for you." ”

Shen Miao: "......" Why do you think Xie Jingxing is just a casual and perfunctory polite remark?

The two were silent, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shen Miao diverted the conversation and asked, "I heard that the prince has not been released yet, what is the situation in the palace now?"

Xie Jingxing glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, the prince is almost finished." ”

Shen Miao was stunned: "What?"

"The Emperor of Qin has already made a final threat to the old emperor, if he does not deal with the crown prince to avenge the emperor's revenge, he will send troops to attack Ming Qi. Xie Jingxing stared at the tea leaves in the teacup, and his tone couldn't hear joy and anger: "At this juncture, the old emperor doesn't dare to take risks." ”

Shen Miao said: "Have you already made the last threat, no wonder ......." However," she raised her head and looked at Xie Jingxing: "This was said so quickly, I think the Emperor of Qin has not investigated the reason, this is determined to make the prince a scapegoat? Why, doesn't he want to catch the real murderer of his son?" In Shen Miao's thoughts, although he had already guessed that this was the result, he didn't expect it to come so quickly. After all, it is not a trivial matter to die a person, no matter how you say it, the Emperor of Qin State has to check it, no matter how you say it, Emperor Wen Hui and the other party will have to stalemate for a while.

Xie Jingxing raised his lips and smiled: "NaΓ―ve." ”

Shen Miao: "......." "It's been a long time since anyone said she was naΓ―ve.

I only listened to Xie Jingxing: "The royal family only focuses on the result, it doesn't matter what the truth is, after all, it is impossible for Huangfu Hao to come back from the dead." He played with the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Qin State folded a prince and princess, Qin State may not have other suitable princes, but the current government of Qin State must be very chaotic because of this matter." The Qin State was wary of Ming Qi, and naturally Ming Qi had to pay the same price. ”

"It doesn't matter if the prince is a murderer or not, but the prince must die. The smile on Xie Jingxing's lips was cold: "Only when the crown prince is dead, can Ming Qi and Qin State be even." ”

Shen Miao took a slight breath in her heart.

Xie Jingxing's words were indeed ruthless, but they also tore the bright cloth that covered the surface. Ming Qi and Qin were originally on a par in national strength, but now that Qin has lost a prince, I am afraid that the succession between the princes will cause more chaos in the government and government.

In any case, the first instinct of a person in the mire is not to climb out on his own, but to slide in with the people around him. The so-called alliance of sharing weal and woe is nothing more than this, tied together with interests, and carefully calculated with interests.

Emperor Wen Hui is afraid that he has already seen this clearly, so soon, the crown prince will become a weight to balance this unfairness. Ming Qi had one more prince, so he erased the prince.

No matter how reluctant you are, for the sake of the world, you must be willing to give up.

Shen Miao was silent.

Xie Jingxing smiled: "Kill two birds with one stone, you did a good job." ”

Shen Miao said: "I'm just responsible for thinking, you are the hero." ”

This play was conceived by Shen Miao, Xie Jingxing is responsible for perfecting it better, Xie Jingxing has many people who are capable of people, among them, calculating the different distances of the prince and Huangfu Hao, the punctuality of the time, and the right acting, are not simply completed.

Shen Miao thought that Xie Jingxing had the greatest credit.

Xie Jingxing smiled slightly, noncommittal.

After talking for a while, Shen Miao's hair was also dry, and she was so sleepy that she yawned twice, and when Xie Jingxing saw this, he planned to leave.

Before leaving, Shen Miao suddenly stopped him, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Has Princess Rongxin been looking for you recently?"

"Nope. Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows.

"What about you...... How are you going to do it?"

Xie Jingxing swept out of the window without looking back, and threw down three words.

"Not how. ”

......

Shen Dongling and Wang Bi were locked up in the innermost room of the prison, and Emperor Wen Hui didn't know if it was deliberately to show fairness, not to arrest people indiscriminately, and not to move the rest of the Wang family.

But this doesn't mean that the situation is much better, there is only one lone seedling like Wang Bi in the Yuanwailang Mansion, if Wang Bi makes a mistake, I am afraid that the Wang family will be finished.

The jailers who came and went didn't give these two people a good face, how many high-ranking and powerful people have been imprisoned in this prison, and once they lost their power, they all lost, and besides, the outsider is not a big official, so he is not worth giving a good face.

Shen Dongling was extremely embarrassed.

A few days ago, she had a dream of soaring in the future, but she didn't want to end up like this now. Originally, when she was rich and comfortable, she and Wang Bi respected each other like guests, and they were harmonious and beautiful, but once something happened, the shrewd Wang Bi and the equally shrewd Shen Dongling, those hidden cracks and contradictions were exposed.

Wang Bi blamed Shen Dongling, after all, the idea of Pinxiang was Shen Dongling's idea. Who knew that they were now buried in prison. Wang Bi is not a fool, since even the crown prince has not been rescued, how good can their reaction be? The most important thing is that the prince is the prince anyway, and there will be a queen running for him. What else does the Wang family have besides the silver that cannot be exposed to the world?

Shen Dongling had to defend herself, how did she know that Huangfu Hao would die inexplicably, this matter was a conspiracy. Someone wanted to calculate that the prince had calculated the two of them as well, and Shen Dongling was innocent.

Today, however, a jailer came, and the food they brought them was different from the past.

The meal was very fresh, and it was even mixed with meat, Shen Dongling was still a little happy, the prison food they ate these days was often rancid, or it was dry and hard to eat, at first glance, he was a little surprised, and asked, "Big brother, this is for us?"

The jailer glanced at her, smiled strangely, and said, "Yes, for you." ”

Wang Bi suddenly realized something, his expression became ugly, and he asked, "Big brother...... What does this mean?"

"Heh, I finally have someone who understands. The jailer said, "After eating this last meal, let's go on our way." ”

The chopsticks in Shen Dongling's hand fell down with a "click", and he almost couldn't believe his ears.

It was Wang Bi, who sat on the ground with a butt, as if he had expected it, as if he had been drained of all his strength in an instant, and he could no longer stand up.

"Big brother, what's going on!" Shen Dongling suddenly became excited, as if she couldn't believe this fact, her voice was distorted and a little sharp, she asked: "When can we let it out? Are we wronged? Prince Qin's assassination really has nothing to do with us." It's been locked up for so long, haven't things been figured out?, when will we be allowed to go home?" she said quickly, urgently, as if that would dispel the fear in her heart.

It was the first time Wang Bi had seen Shen Dongling look like this, he looked at Shen Dongling and didn't speak.

The jailer frowned at Shen Dongling's call, and took two steps back before he said impatiently: "Don't talk about you, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been convicted, what are you innocent?"

Wang Bi was stunned and asked, "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince confessed?"

The jailer snorted in his nose and said, "Isn't it, whether you are wronged or not, it is also your blessing to be with His Royal Highness the Prince." Besides......" The jailer smiled a little maliciously: "Even if you are not guilty, the Wang family's buying and selling of illicit salt is not a small crime." ”

Wang Bi's body trembled, and he asked with a trembling force: "This ...... How do you know that?"

"How do I know?" the jailer waved his hand and said impatiently, "It's all rumored outside. He glanced at Wang Bi again and said, "I heard that when someone was sent to copy the Wang family, the gold and silver of the Wang family were carried out in boxes, and it was carried for a full afternoon! ”

Shen Dongling's heart sank, if there was a trace of luck before, then once the matter of private salt was shaken out, then she and Wang Bi really had no way to live.

Now that the treasury is empty, Emperor Wenhui is not rich enough, but the Wang family is doing the business of buying and selling private salt, and they are so rich that they are not willing to punish them harshly.

Shen Dongling only felt that the world was spinning, she did everything possible to change relatives with Shen Yue, and planned such a family affair for herself, and she was also extremely satisfied with the Wang family. Although the Wang family is not a powerful person, with silver, food and clothing are not worried, and life will always get better and better. But why is he in prison now, and why is he so rich and noble?

She is not reconciled!

If she hadn't come up with this idea for Wang Bi, would she have been able to escape the catastrophe, Huangfu Hao would not have died, the prince would not have been wronged, and they would not have become innocent victims. Why did she think about calculating Shen Miao that day? Knowing that the person who went against Shen Miao would not end well, why did she have to hit her head and bleed herself?

Shen Miao: By the way, Shen Miao!

This matter has brought this field to this day, it must be Shen Miao's hands and feet behind his back!

Shen Dongling suddenly blessed her soul, she took off a bracelet from her wrist, her jewelry was almost used by the jailers after she went to prison, this bracelet was given to her by Mrs. Wang on the day she passed the door, it was very valuable, and she could almost buy a shop in a remote place. She stuffed the shop into the jailer's hand, and said eagerly: "Brother Lao do me a favor, find my fifth sister, and send a message for me, and say that I have something to say to her." She said earnestly: "People are dying and their words are good, and I hope my eldest brother will help me for the last time." ”

She was already good-looking, but she was pitiful and tearful, and the jailer was really soft. He took the bracelet and said, "In that case, I'll help you once." However, I am only responsible for bringing the words, and Miss Shen Wu will not come, but I can't guarantee it. ”

Shen Dongling hurriedly thanked him.

Wang Bi sneered, his expression was a little tired, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or Shen Dongling, he said, "Do you think Shen Miao will come to save you?"

"I don't know if it's coming. Shen Dongling changed her weakness when facing the jailer, and her expression was indeed a little ruthless: "If she is willing to save me, bow low and be small, I am not afraid to be soft on her." But if she has no intention of saving me, why can the Shen family live unharmed. Since it is a family, it is natural that there should be difficulties together. ”

Just as Shen Dongling thought, the jailer really brought her words to Shen Miao, but Shen Miao simply interrupted the conversation, indicating that she was unwilling to go. also let the sting seal a heavy purse to the jailer.

The entire mansion of the Shen family is no longer there, only the Shen family's big house still stands like an iron wall in Dingjing City. Two years ago, Shen Xin was demoted and driven out of Dingjing, and he didn't want to come back again in two years, not only that, but compared to two years ago, Shen Xin's attitude was tougher, no longer blindly modest, but it made people unable to grasp the handle, and Emperor Wen Hui treated him politely. One is a prisoner, the other is a military general with great power, no matter what, the jailer will not choose to offend the military general for the sake of the prisoner.

The jailer left.

Shen Miao sat in front of the dressing mirror, and while combing her hair, she asked, "The slave maid thought that the girl would go to see the third lady." ”

Gu Yu glared at her: "What the girl saw her do, after all, the second and third rooms of the Shen family have nothing to do with us." Besides, they committed a capital crime, and the girl went to see her for no reason, what if the others thought too much and caused the girl to be affected?"

He stuck out his tongue and said, "Didn't the girl see the second lady and the eldest lady for the last time?"

"Shen Dongling is not an ordinary person. Shen Miao listened to the two of them arguing, and said, "Dig a hole for me so I don't want to jump." ”

"Digging a pit?" The stunned face changed suddenly: "The girl is saying, does the third lady want to harm the girl?"

"The heart of defense is indispensable. Shen Miao said lightly.

Among these daughters of the Shen Mansion, Shen Yue and Shen Qing were spoiled by their mothers, vicious but not very scheming, they were not very old, and some things were not very clear. But Shen Dongling is different, Shen Dongling and Aunt Wan have been suppressed by Ren Wanyun since they were children, and their biological father Shen Gui is even more of a non-caring character, Shen Dongling, who survived in such an environment, is more tenacious than ordinary people. She can shrink in the courtyard for more than ten years, and letting Ren Wanyun take her lightly is enough to prove this.

For such an enemy, Shen Miao never dared to look at it clearly. If Shen Yue and Shen Qing had been hit hard, they would panic first, but Shen Dongling, I was afraid that he would seize the last opportunity to plan, as long as he didn't die, he could calculate what he wanted for himself at the last moment.

Seeing that Shen Dongling treated her biological father so coldly, Shen Miao didn't think that Shen Dongling would have any feelings for her.

Gu Yu also chattered: "I don't know what she thinks in her heart, she has already gone to prison, I'm afraid she won't be able to turn over any tricks." ”

"Don't worry, as long as I don't go, nothing will go wrong. Shen Miao comforted them: "If she wants to ask me for help, I can't do it, and it's useless to go." If she wanted to pull me into the water, I wouldn't see her at all, so I was helpless. ”

Stunned nodded again and again: "That's right, it's right not to go." ”

Shen Miao lowered her eyes, but there was one thing she was very strange, the crown prince and Wang Bi were naturally imprisoned because of Huangfu Hao's affairs, but Emperor Wen Hui's decision to convict spread so quickly, in addition to the Emperor of Qin's constant urging, I am afraid that it is also related to the news of buying and selling private salt.

Emperor Wen Hui could not tolerate people who sought wealth under his nose, even if it was his own son. The persecution of the Emperor of Qin and the anger of Emperor Wen Hui made such a quick decision come.

It's just that...... How did the news of illicit salt get out?

Did Xie Jingxing do it? She cupped her cheeks and thought hard.

......

In the palace, outside the palace of nourishing the heart.

The queen had been kneeling in the courtyard for a whole day.

I have been kneeling since the morning of dawn, and it is useless to persuade people, but now it is already afternoon, and it is cold in winter, and the ground is frozen, and I have been kneeling for a day, and there is no cushion under my body to support it, and my knees are very cold, but I am afraid that people are stiff. There is sun in the sky, and even if there is no problem with the queen's body on weekdays, it is sweating down in big drops at the moment, and she gritted her teeth, didn't say a word, knelt silently, just looked at it, and almost fell down in the next moment.

The palace people beside him persuaded: "Niangniang, let's go back first." Your Majesty is only afraid that there is something busy today, why should the mother hurt her body, it is not good for this cold day to hurt the wind and cold. ”

"This palace must kneel," the queen said in a firm tone, "until His Majesty changes his mind." ”

When the eunuch passed the queen's words to the ears of Emperor Wen Hui in the study, Emperor Wen Hui was furious and said, "Let her kneel! Let her kneel!

Since she knew that the prince's conviction document came out, the queen wanted to see Emperor Wen Hui in person to intercede, but Emperor Wen Hui didn't even see her in person, and the queen was worried about the prince, and she had no choice but to kneel in the courtyard outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, thinking that if she knelt for a long time, Emperor Wen Hui would always let her in for the sake of face.

The queen knew that the crown prince had made a big mistake, and if she talked about the matter of Huangfu Hao before, anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong, and Emperor Wen Hui still protected this son in his heart. The matter of buying and selling private salt with the Wang family has also consumed the last bit of guilt in Emperor Wen Hui's heart, and now Emperor Wen Hui is too late to be angry and disgusted with the prince, how can he listen to the queen's persuasion?

The queen has no choice, she has been a husband and wife with Emperor Wen Hui for so many years, she knows exactly what Emperor Wen Hui thinks in her heart, but the prince is her only son, for this only son, she is willing to kneel for a lifetime, what is one day?

was stalemate, but heard a chuckle behind her, someone came over seductively, wearing a peach-colored gold silk jacket skirt, bright clothes, and even more glorious, she looked at the queen, and said: "Why is my sister kneeling here?" It scared my sister so much, and I thought that my sister and sister had such a big gift, so don't make such a joke in the future." ”

The queen gritted her teeth and looked at her, gritting her teeth with hatred, this person was Concubine Xu Xian. To tell the truth, how could the matter of the prince's sale of illicit salt be suddenly reported, the queen suspected that it was inseparable from King Jing of Zhou, after all, as soon as the prince died, the two brothers would have one less rival.

It's just that there is no evidence at the moment, and she can't say it. But Concubine Xu Xian has this ability to add fuel to the fire.

Concubine Xu Xian smiled beautifully and asked, "Why didn't my sister go in, didn't she do something wrong and kneel down to ask Your Majesty for forgiveness?"

------Off topic------

Shen Qiu: "It seems that King Rui still likes that girl very much, and he actually hangs the love token around his waist, and I don't know which girl has this honor, but I am afraid that I will wake up laughing when I dream." ”
