Chapter 248: Purging Grievances

Xuanyuan Che originally wanted to come to see Zhu Jiu, and he did have a lot to say to her.

But now that the two were really sitting facing each other, he was a little speechless, so he drank tea dryly, until he noticed that the person next to him had been looking at him, and he subconsciously looked at Zhu Jiu.

At this glance, the eyes of the two met.

The shadows of the trees outside the window are swaying, the moonlight is also soft, Zhu Jiu is already bright, his face after washing has a faint flush, like a delicious peach, and the lips with a moist luster also make people can't help but want to kiss Fangze.

Xuanyuan Che retracted his gaze in time, trying to avoid the flaws he had just revealed, and talked about the ghost shadow building casually.

Zhu Jiu didn't seem to notice his gaffe just now, and listened to him quietly, just seeing that he was about to finish the cup of soothing tea in his hand, and when he was still holding the teacup with some nervousness, he lowered his eyes and smiled, and added him a cup of tea as if nothing happened.

Hearing him talk about what happened outside the palace today, after learning that he was not in danger, Zhu Jiu's heart was completely relaxed.

As for the Black Soul Palace's entourage wanting treasures, she had already told Xuanyuan Che, and on the Ghost Shadow Building's side, it was just the remnants of the rebellious party that broke away from the Black Soul Palace, and now that they had all been resolved, there was nothing to worry about.

And he also concealed this news, and now the rivers and lakes don't know that the ghost shadow building has been destroyed, let alone that the fall of the ghost shadow building was caused by him.

After saying these miscellaneous things, Xuanyuan Che calmed down, raised his eyes and said to Zhu Jiu: "You are in this palace, I'm afraid you are not used to living, if you feel bored, another day, I will take you to the summer palace?"

"Yes, it's good to stay away from these mundane things in the summer palace."

Zhu Jiu doesn't mind where he goes now, but it's summer, and it's really good to go outside to escape the heat.

Especially Prime Minister Shen Cheng, staring at her all day long, suspecting that she killed his daughter, it just so happened that she also collected all the evidence, and just waited for dawn to have a showdown with Prime Minister Shen.

Seeing her agree, Xuanyuan Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he took the opportunity to stay here, but he still didn't dare to make any big moves, lying on the same bed with Zhu Jiu, and even breathing carefully, for fear of disturbing her.

Zhu Jiu looked at him through a gap and couldn't help but shake his head amusedly.

Isn't it just a good night's sleep? As for being so careful and treating her like a treasure? It was as if she would disappear in the next second.

After laughing, he withdrew his thoughts from Xuanyuan Che and rested with peace of mind.

This night, the two of them were in good spirits, and the next day they were in a good mood, Xuanyuan Che went to the court early, and Zhu Jiu was waiting for Prime Minister Shen in Changle Palace.

Prime Minister Shen met Luo Zheng when he was in the next dynasty.

"Guard Luo, I don't know if you are such an official, but Your Majesty has something to order?"

Since the post-sealing ceremony was held, all the chess pieces and eyeliner in the harem were all cleared by Xuanyuan Che, and when Prime Minister Shen greeted him with a smile, he didn't know that Luo Zheng had been pointed out to Zhu Jiu by Xuanyuan Che.

He greeted Luo Zheng as usual, both of them used to work for Xuanyuan Che, and they were familiar with each other, so when Luo Zheng invited him to Changle Palace, he not only did not have any suspicions, but followed without any defense.

However, when he arrived at Changle Palace, when he saw Zhu Jiu, who was already waiting here and wearing a flying purple gauze robe, his face sank, "Meet the Queen Mother."

Even if he didn't like Zhu Jiu in his heart, he still had to take into account the courtesy between the two of them.

In terms of face, Prime Minister Shen Cheng did nothing bad, but Zhu Jiu did not accept his gift, avoided it gently, and said straight to the point: "Prime Minister Shen doesn't have to be false and wronged with me, I know that you resent me because of Shen Xiuzhi's death, but I asked Luo Zheng to bring you here today to make it clear to you that your daughter did not die at my hands."

As she spoke, she slammed the teacup in her hand and shattered it into powder.

With such a terrible internal force, if you really want to kill someone, you don't need to be so troublesome as pushing people into the cold pool.

Prime Minister Shen Cheng is a smart person, and he understood what she meant at once, so he immediately sneered, stopped pretending, slowly straightened up, and faced Zhu Jiu: "General Zhu is so angry, isn't it just to clear your alibi by pushing my daughter into the cold pool?" If so

Killed my daughter so bluntly, who doesn't know that it was you who did it?"

"Miss Shen is not my enemy."

Zhu Jiu stared at him and said clearly.

But Prime Minister Shen had already decided that she was at odds with Shen Xiuzhi, so he killed her, and at this moment, Zhu Jiu pierced the anger in his heart, his face became more and more red, and the heaving of his chest and the arc of his breathing became larger and larger, "You still say it's not you!" My daughter's personal maid saw it with your own eyes, and you led my daughter out!"

"That night, the day before the post-closure ceremony, my daughter just went to talk to you, and in the evening, you put on a scarlet brocade dress and called her out, and then Linglong found out that my daughter had not returned for a long time, and went out to look for her, but happened to see the scene where you drowned her."

"Since these are all things that Linglong said, then do you dare to ask Linglong to come forward and confront me?"

Zhu Jiu's expression was as usual.

"Why don't you dare?"

After Shen Chengxiang finished speaking, he looked at her with a sneer: "But how do I know, you called Linglong out to kill this only witness? What's the good of me calling her out?"

is worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty, and he has never been willing to suffer a little loss, even if he is now angry to the extreme.

At this point, Zhu Jiu looked at him with a little more appreciation, and then agreed: "With Luo Zheng as a witness, I won't do anything to Linglong, as for the benefits...... Not really, but don't you want to know who killed your daughter? Do you really intend to let the real murderer go unpunished?"

Seeing Zhu Jiu's determined and calm appearance, Prime Minister Shen finally had some doubts in his heart, was his daughter really killed by Zhu Jiu?

If she really killed her, then why didn't he see a little bit of weakness in her eyes when he confronted her? If she really killed someone, then she shouldn't have been so indifferent when she heard his daughter's name.

It's as if she wasn't involved in it from beginning to end.

On the side, Luo Zheng finally raised his eyelids and said to Prime Minister Shen: "For the sake of working together for many years, Prime Minister, please allow your subordinates to say more, you seem to have been dealing with the queen mother these days because of this opportunity, if Miss Shen's death was not caused by the queen mother, would you still stare at her like a wolf?"

In the end, Prime Minister Shen thought about the monarch and ministers, because of Xuanyuan Che, he never sent someone to assassinate Zhu Jiu, but only spread rumors against Zhu Jiu from all sides, stinked her reputation, and dispersed the power in her hands.

Suddenly, Prime Minister Shen looked at Luo Zheng, and there was a thrill behind him.

He is not stupid, he knows that Luo Zheng's words actually mean that there is a real murderer behind this matter, if Shen Xiuzhi is really not killed by Zhu Jiu, but the real murderer behind the scenes...... Is it to use him to deal with Zhu Jiu?

Or is it to see them kill each other?
