054: Mastermind ...... The Chu family?
In the past two days, Dongqing has been investigating the poisoning, and Aunt Liu has been uneasy.
Although she felt that she had withdrawn from the end very well, she also knew the ability of the palace secret guards to do things, and she was always afraid of what happened.
Because of this uneasiness, Princess Chang'an woke up after detoxification, and she couldn't be happy.
Jing Xuan was suddenly summoned, and Aunt Liu had a premonition, and she became more and more nervous, and she didn't want to see it.
It's a pity that she can't help it.
is different from the past, when Jing Xuan sees her today, it is through the gauze curtain, and Aunt Liu can't see Jing Xuan behind the gauze curtain.
Aunt Liu stabilized her mind, saluted and asked, "Your Highness suddenly came looking for slaves and maids, but what are your orders?" ”
There was silence for a long time, as if there was no one.
But Jing Xuan was sitting on the couch inside, and Aunt Liu still felt it, Jing Xuan was looking at her.
She became more and more flustered.
Finally, Jing Xuan opened his mouth: "Auntie, why did you poison and murder her?" ”
Aunt Liu's heart tightened and she gasped.
Sure enough, she was found.
After all, she underestimated Jing Xuan's subordinates.
She knelt down neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said earnestly: "The slave is guilty, but Your Highness, the slave and maid are like this, all for your good." ”
Jing Xuan's voice came out with a hint of coolness: "Is my aunt for this king, or for the Feng family and yourself?" ”
Aunt Liu was in a hurry: "Your Highness......"
Jing Xuan's tone was still slow and cold: "This king told you that it is useful for this king to keep her, is it that you can't listen to a word of this king's words?" Just for your personal likes and dislikes, for the sake of the Feng family's future, you will do whatever you want? Where have you placed this king? ”
This interrogation made Aunt Liu's face pale: "Your Highness, the slave is loyal to you!" ”
"Since you are loyal to the king? Why is this disregard for the king's wishes? This king didn't let you kill her. ”
"Slave maid...... Slave ......"
Aunt Liu was speechless for a while.
She couldn't confess the Feng family and Feng Yuran, but under Jing Xuan's calm questioning, she couldn't say anything about the justifications that she thought was good for him.
She knew in her heart that she wanted to kill Chu Huan, not for Jing Xuan.
As Jing Xuan said, it was for her and the Feng family.
"She is the princess of this king, this king recognized her and gave her the honor and dignity she deserves, even if you don't like her, you should respect her, and you should not try to kill her, not to mention that you are so tired that you almost lost your life."
Speaking of this, Jing Xuan's tone became more and more cold, and she smashed Aunt Liu's heart word by word: "You said, if it weren't for the poison you gave and the spices clashed to form a highly poisonous poison, so that the girl had an attack in advance, she was poisoned by you like this, and she died of silent exhaustion and decay in the future, what should you do?" ”
Aunt Liu's face was pale, she felt chills all over her body, and she froze for a moment before she hurriedly crawled on the ground and trembled to confess.
"The slave is guilty!"
Jing Xuan said coldly: "You are guilty, Wan'er is the only sister of this king, and she was left by the queen mother, if she is really bad, this king will not spare anyone, including you." ”
The last three words, he bit his tone.
Aunt Liu trembled faintly.
Jing Xuan pondered silently for a while, and said tiredly and helplessly: "This time there is no danger, this king will not pursue you to the end, remember what to do and what not to do in the future, don't be stupid again, challenge this king's affection for you, you retreat." ”
Aunt Liu glanced up at the figure behind the veil, and wanted to say something, but she could feel Jing Xuan's cold gaze, and suddenly felt her scalp numb and her limbs cold.
She has taken care of Jing Xuan for nearly twenty years, and she has never been treated so indifferently by Jing Xuan.
She knew that Jing Xuan was really annoyed with her this time.
She bowed her head and trembled in response: "...... Be. ”
Her legs were a little weaker, and she gritted her teeth to get up, and turned to go out.
As soon as he turned around, Jing Xuan's words came from behind him: "Also, Chu Huan is the princess of this king, the mistress of the Ming Palace, and the honor and disgrace of this king, aunt in the future, you must keep this in mind." ”
Implicit knock warning.
Aunt Liu gasped slightly, turned around and said respectfully, "Slave maid...... Remembered. ”
After Aunt Liu went out, Dongqing came in.
Jing Xuan weighed it for a long time and said to him: "This matter, just settle on the Chu family's side, you go and arrange it." ”
It is not easy for him to hold Aunt Liu accountable now, but he has to give an explanation to Chu Huan about this matter.
can't be the same as the last time the Feng family did it, ignoring her at all.
Dongqing was a little worried: "But if that's the case, will the princess question the Chu family?" After all, she is the daughter of the Chu family. ”
Jing Xuan said firmly: "She won't, what's more, the Chu family is afraid that they can't have her daughter, she knows this in her heart." ”
Therefore, even if she knew that the Chu family did it, most of them would only hold a grudge against the Chu family, and she would count it later.
"Then the subordinates are in order."
。
When she woke up in the afternoon, Chu Huan heard that the person who poisoned her had been found out, and she was waiting to be disposed of when she woke up.
Chu Huan really likes the efficiency of these people under Jing Xuan, and thinks he has to check it for several days.
Chu Huan simply freshened up and changed clothes, and then followed Fuxi to the secret prison at the bottom of the house, and Dongqing was also there.
When he saw the so-called poisoner, Chu Huan was quite surprised.
is a mother-in-law, she brought a dowry from the Chu family, in memory, this is the so-called housekeeper mother selected by the Deng family to the original owner, and it is also the eyes and ears of the Deng family.
She hasn't paid much attention to these people, and has arranged for them to do things.
I thought that if she ignored it, these people would not be able to turn over the big waves, but I didn't expect it to be a blockbuster.
Dongqing said: "Princess, my subordinates asked people to track down and find out that the rough maid was just poisoned by coercion and temptation, but in fact she was secretly bought by this mother-in-law." ”
Chu Huan looked at the mother-in-law in front of him who was trembling on the ground in a panic, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The subordinates interrogated her, and she admitted that it was the order of the Chu family, and after the princess returned to the door last time, the Chu family wanted to get rid of the princess, so she let this mother-in-law explore the opportunity to do it in the house, and she targeted the maidservant girl to find out her origin."
Dongqing stared at the mother-in-law with warning eyes, and then said: "Later, the Chu family arrested the maid's family to blackmail her to do something, and the Chu family sent poison, and they waited for a long time with the poison, and finally waited for the opportunity to start. ”
Dongqing's words fell, and the mother-in-law hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "The princess spares her life, the slave maid is just acting on orders, this is all arranged by the lady, the slave and maid have no choice, please spare the slave and maid's life." ”
Chu Huan looked at the mother-in-law kowtowing and begging in front of him coldly, but did not speak.
Dongqing glanced at Chu Huan, lowered his head and asked, "Princess, this matter is related to the Chu family, Your Highness asked your subordinates to ask you, how do you want to deal with this matter?" If you want to investigate to the end, you can take this mother-in-law to the Chu family to ask for the crime, and someone in the Chu family must bear the responsibility for this matter. ”
Chu Huan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Will the Chu family recognize it?" ”
Dongqing: "I'm afraid it won't, but the human and material evidence is conclusive, they have to admit it if they don't recognize it, dare to poison the royal princess, even if the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't die, they have to lose half their lives." ”
Chu Huan frowned: "So, you can only ask for half a life for the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
Dongqing didn't know how to answer for a while.
He was embarrassed: "The princess knows that the mastermind behind this matter is the Duchess of Hengguo, she is from a prominent background, and the Duke of Hengguo also has heavy troops, you will be able to poison you this time, and the princess will not be in danger, Your Majesty will not let it be dealt with too much." ”
Even for such a big crime as marrying and deceiving the king, the emperor did not pursue it with the Chu family, let alone poisoning this time.
It is one thing for the emperor to want to punish the Chu family, but the Chu family has the power of the army in his hands and cannot be moved lightly.
Chu Huan also knew this, and was quite irritable
"What if I don't pursue it this time?"
"His Royal Highness said that he will let those people of the Chu family apologize for their sins with death in the future."
It's kind of a pie, right?
Chu Huan was noncommittal.
She didn't expect Jing Xuan to help her out of this breath in the future, she just wanted to take revenge herself.
There is nothing more painful for those people in the Chu family than letting the Xian family and son get the position of the prince of the Chu family.
Chu Huan said lightly: "Let's press it first, as for this mother-in-law......"
She looked at the mother-in-law who was still crawling in front of her, and she didn't know what to do with it for a while.
The mother-in-law trembled and begged again: "The princess spares her life......"
Dongqing said to Chu Huan: "Your Highness said that no matter what the princess does with the Chu family, this woman will have to be executed, and the princess is poisoned after all." ”
Chu Huan didn't want this mother-in-law's life.
