Chapter 379: Stay in the green mountains
After Xiao Ti sent Yu Xuanxuan back to the county king's mansion, he immediately rushed to the Zhengfa Division non-stop.
The officials sent by the Honglu Temple had already arrived at the Fa Division, and as soon as Xiao Ti appeared, they immediately began to interrogate the two officials of the Chen Kingdom.
The trial lasted in the evening.
By the time Xiao Ti returned to the Junwang Mansion, it was already midnight.
Yu Yuanyuan had just finished painting the portrait of the queen and the little mute, and when she saw Xiao Ti coming back, she asked.
"Hungry or not? I'm going to get some supper. ”
Xiao Ti saw that she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, and said in a low voice.
"Don't be hungry, go to sleep."
"Oh."
The two of them washed up briefly and went to bed.
At this time, Yu Yuanxuan was already very sleepy, and her upper eyelids kept pressing down, but she still asked with a strong spirit.
"Have the two Chenguo officials confessed?"
Xiao Ti hugged her and whispered.
"Well, they told everything they knew, they can testify, Shen Rui had quietly met with Han Chengxi in the middle of the night, although they didn't hear the conversation between the two, but they heard Han Chengxi's entourage talk about it, Han Chengxi made a deal with Shen Rui, and the two also exchanged tokens for this."
Yu Yuan came to the spirit a little: "What token?" ”
If the token can be found, there will be all the human and material evidence, and how can Shen Rui deny it when the time comes? !
Xiao Ti: "Those two officials of the Chen Kingdom don't know what the token is, according to my guess, it should be something that can represent their respective identities, and I will report this matter to the emperor tomorrow and ask the emperor to order a search of the Six Princes' Mansion." ”
Yu Yuanhuan is full of expectations for tomorrow.
As long as the six princes can be convicted of death, the case of Concubine Yue's murder should also be revealed.
It seems that everything can be over.
……
In order to gain the initiative, the first thing Shen Rui did after returning to Yujing was to enter the palace to complain to his father, saying that Xiao Ti had a personal vendetta and planned to murder the Chenguo delegation on the way to his relatives, which not only caused the relationship between the two countries to deteriorate, but also lost Princess Tao Ran.
He spoke so eloquently that the emperor believed his words a little.
But after returning to the Six Princes' Mansion, Shen Rui was still uneasy in his heart.
He had a vague premonition of bad feelings.
After learning that the King of Langjun and his party had returned, Shen Rui immediately ordered someone to investigate, only to be told that the King of Langjun had brought back a lot of assassin corpses this time, as well as two officials of the Chen Kingdom.
And in the afternoon of the same day, the emperor sent the officials of Honglu Temple to the Zhengfa Division, obviously to assist the king of Langjun in interrogating the two officials of the Chen Kingdom.
The uneasiness in Shen Rui's heart became stronger and stronger.
It was dark outside, but Shen Rui didn't feel sleepy, he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face was full of worry.
What to do, what to do? What should he do next?
Then the butler walked in and said respectfully.
"Sixth Highness, Concubine Shu sent someone over, saying that she had something to tell you."
Shen Rui immediately said, "Bring someone over quickly." ”
After a while, the butler brought back a little eunuch.
When the little eunuch raised his head, Shen Rui saw the other party's whole face clearly and found that the other party turned out to be a willow branch!
Liu Zhi saw the surprise and confusion in Shen Rui's heart, and took the initiative to explain.
"The identity of the palace maid is not easy to leave the palace, but the concubine Niangniang is not at ease to hand over this matter to others, so she can only let the slave maid change into the clothes of a eunuch and go out of the palace."
Shen Rui suddenly realized.
For the mother concubine to go to such great lengths, there must be something very important to tell him.
He glanced at the butler.
The butler understood, bowed his head and withdrew, but did not go far, but stood guard outside the door to prevent anyone from approaching the room.
Inside the house, Shen Rui couldn't wait to ask.
"What does the mother want to tell me? Did she figure out how to deal with it? ”
Willow Branch sighed, and there was deep helplessness in his tone.
"The concubine said that now the situation is out of control, and she has no choice."
Shen Rui's eyes widened in disbelief.
How so? Even the mother concubine couldn't help it.
Wouldn't he be dead?!
Liu Zhi continued: "The noble concubine Niangniang asked you to leave Yujing as soon as it was dawn tomorrow, and go to Hexi County to hide first, Hexi County is the territory of the Shu family, and with the protection of the Shu family, your safety is not a problem." ”
Shen Rui was unwilling: "But I can't hide for the rest of my life, right?" ”
Willow Branch persuaded bitterly.
"What the concubine means is to let you avoid the limelight in Hexi County first.
When the limelight passes, the emperor's anger will go down.
After all, you are your biological father and son, and the tiger poison does not eat children, so the emperor should not kill you ruthlessly.
When the time comes, you just have to admit your mistake and you should be fine. ”
Shen Rui was still worried.
"What if my father refuses to forgive me? What if he has to kill me? ”
Willow Branch lowered her voice a few more points.
"If the emperor is really ruthless, you can only leave Dayan and go to Chen Kingdom to hide.
Don't you still have the token of the Nine Emperors of the Kingdom of Chen?
You took that token to find him in Tatsukoku, and he should have taken you in. ”
Shen Rui was very reluctant.
"But in this case, won't I have to live by relying on people's snorts in the future?"
Liu Zhi sighed again: "The days of looking up to people are very sad, but at least I can save my life, as long as I stay in the green mountains, I am not afraid of no firewood in the future." ”
Seeing that Shen Rui was still very hesitant, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The sixth prince has some ambitions, but he doesn't have enough decision-making, and he is always hesitant when he encounters problems, so many of his things are decided by Shu Guifei.
If the sixth prince could be a little smarter and more decisive in doing things, maybe he and Concubine Shu would not have fallen to the point where they are today.
Unfortunately, these are just assumptions.
At this point, there is no turning back.
Willow Branch took out a letter from her bosom.
"The concubine knows that it is difficult for you to make up your mind, this is her handwritten letter to you, you can see for yourself."
She took the letter in both hands, and finally left the Six Princes' Mansion quietly under the cover of night.
Shen Rui opened the letter and pulled out a thin piece of stationery.
The paper was densely filled with words.
All that was written was Concubine Shu's advice to Shen Rui, and that strong reluctance almost overflowed the paper.
At the end of the letter, Concubine Shu said that she would take care of everything, so that she might never see Shen Rui again in the future.
If there is an afterlife, I hope they can still be mothers and children.
It turned out to be a farewell letter.
Shen Rui's emotions completely collapsed, he pressed the letter to his heart, and cried uncontrollably.
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Ti left the county king's mansion.
He entered the palace to meet the emperor and presented the confessions of the two officials of the Chen Kingdom.
The matter has come to this point, and the emperor can't doubt Shen Rui or not.
He immediately ordered a search of the Six Princes' Mansion, and ordered Shen Rui and Shu Guifei to leave to see him.
Who knew that when the eagle guards rushed into the Six Princes' Mansion with great momentum, they found that the Six Princes had long since disappeared.
