Chapter 370: Something happened to the fifth princess
When Xie Xuanye saw her expression, he knew that Qin Shuhuang had an impression of the person on the little face, and he waited patiently for her to speak.
"Isn't this the great maid beside my mother?"
"Are you sure?"
Qin Shuhuang nodded, "I won't admit my mistake, her name is Qixia, she has served by the queen mother for many years, and when I was young, she often played with me." But Qixia had already died many years ago, how could he be in the Dragon Scale Guard? ”
A few days ago, Xie Xuanye had already told Qin Shuhuang about the Dragon Scale Guard.
There was not much surprise in Qin Shuhuang's eyes.
If the old king of Zhenbei didn't leave something for Xie Xuanye, then how could the elder brother of the remnant king in her previous life break into the Gu Mansion at the last moment of her life and take many people in black to hit the Gu Mansion hard.
At that time, Xie Xuanye also told Qin Shuhuang about the suspicion that the Dragon Scale Guard had poisoned the King of the Old Town.
Of course, Qin Shuhuang understood the doubts in Xie Xuanye's heart.
Her heart was sour, and she asked him, "Xie Xuanye, aren't you afraid that my father did this?" If it were my father, I would be the daughter of your enemy......"
Xie Xuanye hugged Qin Shuhuang tightly, "There are some things you don't know, I only learned about it after reading the secret history of the Dragon Scale Guard after taking over the Dragon Scale Guard." The emperor held sixty percent of the strength of Dawu in his hands, half of which was given to Rong Guogong and half to my father. If the emperor and my father did not trust each other, this half of the military power could not have been in my father's hands. If the emperor was a murderer, wouldn't he cut off his own arm? Besides, what did your father have to do with you, we were only a few years old at the time, and we didn't know anything. No matter what, Qin Shuhuang, you are my wife for life, in this life, you don't want to leave me! ”
After a reasonable analysis, the two determined that the person who murdered the king of the north of the old town was not the emperor.
Now Qixia's little appearance appears in the file of the Dragon Scale Guard, which is really strange.
Xie Xuanye frowned, "Was Qixia really dead at that time?" ”
Qin Shuhuang nodded, "Qixia died of illness, and suddenly one day, Qixia's body was not good, and then it weakened day by day, and the imperial doctor couldn't see what disease Qixia had." I often go to visit her in the small courtyard where Qixia lives. Gradually, Qixia couldn't stay up and it was gone. The queen mother took me on the last journey of seven summers. ”
The palace people who passed away in the palace were afraid that they would attract yin qi, so they would be cremated after death, and those who had family members would hand over the cremated ashes to their families and send them back to the ancestral tomb for burial, and those who did not have family members would be sent to the royal mausoleum for burial.
Qixia had no family, the first queen took Qin Shuhuang to watch Qixia's body be burned, and then the first queen ordered someone to send Qixia's ashes to her mausoleum.
Qixia is really dead, and it is impossible to be alive.
Qin Shuhuang paused, and after a while, she continued: "At that time, I was still young and didn't understand anything, but now that I think about it, Qixia's symptoms at that time were not like strange diseases, but more like poisoning!" ”
"Does Qixia have any other family members?" Xie Xuanye asked.
Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "According to the rules, only those who don't have a family will be buried in the imperial tomb, and even if Qixia has a family, it will definitely not be on the surface." ”
It seems that Qixia is the breakthrough in this matter!
"Xuan Ye, don't move over there, I'll ask Lu Zhou to send someone to the queen mother's mausoleum to investigate, if Qixia has relatives and knows about Qixia's existence, this person will definitely go to worship her over the years!"
Xie Xuanye felt that what Qin Shuhuang said made sense.
Regarding the matter of the imperial tomb, it is only fitting that Qin Shuhuang should let people investigate.
He nodded.
Then he said: "Your Highness, the Dragon Scale Guard has found out that King Ping has private soldiers. ”
Qin Shuhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems that I have to add a fire to this chaos!" ”
Privately, Xie Xuanye sent someone to reveal the matter of King Ping's private soldiers to the regent's cronies.
Hearing the report, the regent's face sank.
"Private soldiers? How much? ”
Sure enough, King Ping had bad intentions! The fox's tail is finally revealed!
"Can you find out where is King Ping's private soldiers?"
The cronies shook their heads, "For the time being, we haven't found the hiding place of King Ping's private soldiers." ”
"Then don't go find it!" The Lord Regent roared.
As soon as the cronies who reported the news left, the princess regent hurried in.
"Lord Wang! The emperor is not good! ”
The regent hurriedly looked over, "How?" ”
The princess regent walked up to her husband and sat down and whispered, "This morning, Qianwei came with news that the emperor got up early in the morning and coughed and vomited blood. ”
Hearing the news, the corners of the Regent's mouth couldn't help but rise, "It's finally time!" ”
Qin Shumin's body has a problem, as long as he activates it and suppresses King Ping, then that seat is within his reach!
When the princess regent saw her husband's expression, she also had an excited smile on her face.
In the dark and lightless secret room, the fifth princess had been staying for several days, and there was nothing every day except for someone to bring her three meals a day.
She cowered in a corner in fear and wrapped herself in the quilt.
All she knew was that she would fall asleep one night and wake up right here.
Two days ago, she yelled for her to let her out, but no one paid attention to her.
Then she didn't eat, fasted, and after three days, she almost starved to death, and no one paid any attention to her.
In order to survive, in order to get out, she can only compromise and eat on time.
But fear seems to grow bigger and bigger in the cramped and darkened room.
She didn't know who was holding her here.
The truth always seemed out of her reach.
But the night before she arrived, she had left something in her bedchamber.
Now she only hopes that Gu Siyi can be found in her dormitory.
Thinking so, the fifth princess shrank into the corner again.
As usual, Gu Yuling came to see the fifth princess every five or six days and brought her some snacks made by herself.
She smiled and walked towards the Moon Lotus Palace, but when she arrived at the gate of the Moon Lotus Palace, she was stopped.
This has never happened before.
Gu Yuling frowned, and said to the palace maid guarding the door: "Please go in and tell the princess, Gu Siyi asks to see you." ”
The palace maid who guarded the gate raised her chin proudly, "The princess has ordered, she doesn't want to see anyone these days, Gu Siyi should please go back." ”
Gu Yuling has never been stopped when she comes to the Moon Lotus Palace, which time the fifth princess is not looking forward to her coming, and will keep the good things for the two of them to enjoy together.
If the fifth princess has something, she will definitely tell her in advance, and she will not be told to run away, why is it so strange now.
"Then please help call the big maid Frost next to the fifth princess."
"Fanshuang took leave of the palace a few days ago, and I don't know when I will come back, Gu Siyi wants to find her, let's go outside the palace to find her."
Glancing at the two rows of eunuchs standing at the gate of the Moon Lotus Palace, Gu Yuling knew that she would not be able to enter the Moon Lotus Palace today.
She smiled at the gatekeeper and turned to leave.
The palace people in the palace have no false words at all, after entering the palace, unless the emperor gives the palace people a day or two off, the palace people are not allowed to leave the palace at all, and if they want to leave the palace, they will see if they are released in the palace when they are old.
Therefore, the palace maid who guarded the door said that the frost went out of the palace was prevaricating her.
Gu Yuling frowned.
I'm afraid something has happened to the fifth princess!
