Chapter 26: Murder of the Concubines (1)

"Mother, why are you like this, although she is a concubine, but that Feng Tianxue died early, what kind of concubine is she. Besides, if you preside over Zhongfu in the mansion, you have long been the wife of the Zhong Mansion, and your daughter is even more of a concubine. If you want to be careful, she should be careful with you all the time. Zhong Qinghe sent people down, played with his temperament, complained about the dissatisfaction in his heart, and didn't know that Zhong Li, Princess Ling and Situ Lin had already entered the main hall.

Chu Xiangjun patted the back of Zhong Li's hand to show reassurance, walked into the main hall quickly, and reprimanded sharply, "It seems that this Zhong Mansion is really upside down, a concubine who was born to a concubine would dare to say such a thing." You dare to call yourself a lady, you deserve it!"

Only then did Lin Yue realize that someone had entered the main hall, and the conversation between her and Qinghe was likely to be heard by all the people who came. But she still wanted to gamble once, Chu Xiangjun only heard what Qinghe said.

Thinking of this, she immediately pulled Zhong Qinghe to kneel, her eyes kept rolling, "Concubine Lin and her daughter Qinghe visit Princess Ling, and the princess is blessed and healthy." The concubine has no ...... didn't take care of Qinghe, she didn't mean to keep her mouth open, it was...... Is it ...... was frightened by Gu Pozi's death, and was frightened...... just said nonsense. The tone seemed to be very flustered, and he kept urging, "Qinghe, hurry up and salute Princess Ling." ”

Zhong Qinghe was stunned for a long time, and then he reacted, and immediately kowtowed, "Qinghe greets Princess Ling, and the princess is blessed and healthy." Shicai, Qinghe spoke nonsense and recklessly, and asked the princess not to blame my mother, and ...... And although the princess is a nobleman, she should not meddle in the affairs of the Zhong Mansion. But between his words, he was accusing Chu Xiangjun.

Chu Xiangjun listened to what the two said, looked at the two mothers and daughters in front of him with a smile and a word, singing and acting. Zhong Li and Situ Lin exchanged glances, but they didn't speak, but just bypassed the two kneeling on the ground, Zhong Li asked Chu Xiangjun to take a seat, and he sat next to her.

Although Zhong Li doesn't like to pretend, she doesn't mind doing it occasionally, this time she originally intended to invite Situ Lin to come, so that the people hiding in the shadows have some scruples, so that the housekeeper Zhong Fu and the chief of the guard Nie Geng went to the Ling Palace's mansion to deliver the letter, but she never thought that the crooked attack alarmed the Ling princess Chu Xiangjun.

"Don't be surprised, princess, it has not been easy for Aunt Lin to take care of the Zhong Mansion over the years, and she suddenly lost the right to manage the house, and it is inevitable that she will act a little biased. Qinghe is also a person who attaches great importance to her identity, and now her identity is indeed not embarrassing or embarrassing, and now Zhongfu is an eventful time, and this matter will definitely be delayed. Zhong Li pushed the boat to relieve the siege of the Lin family and Qinghe, and it seemed that he couldn't help himself between his words, which made Chu Xiangjun hate the two people in front of him even more in his heart.

As a princess, Chu Xiangjun naturally understands Zhong Li's intentions, but she doesn't mind Zhong Li's behavior at all, and she feels more pity for her in her heart.

"Li'er must have suffered a lot over the years, and I heard Lin'er say what happened last night, and it sounds really scary. Those people are obviously coming for you, and I heard a report from the family early this morning, and you asked the housekeeper to send a letter, I really can't rest assured, I must come and see it, and I will be relieved to make sure that you are safe and sound. Chu Xiangjun took Zhong Li's hand, told his uneasiness, and directly ignored the two people who were still kneeling on the ground.

Zhong Li also cooperated very well, and Ying Ying bowed and reminded softly, "Princess, can you let the Lin family and Qinghe get up." Put this in the matter of attacking you, wait for my father to return to the house, and then let him punish them with family law, and they will not have a next time. ”

Chu Xiangjun nodded, which made Lin Yue and Zhong Qinghe get up, and just as they got up, she said coldly, "Lin, Shicai, I heard from a distance that you are quite resentful of me coming to the mansion, which makes me feel that you are a little ...... in some things."

Halfway through her words, she saw that Lin's face suddenly became quite ugly, so she chuckled and said, "I see that I am really old, and my heart is getting narrower and narrower." But I'm still a little curious, what happened last night, and you didn't hide in the courtyard, but ran out in danger, which is really incomprehensible. ”

Lin Yue never thought that Chu Xiangjun would attack her so quickly, and her heart was full of complaints, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she could only grovel and say, "When the incident happened suddenly, Qinghe and I were very worried, so we went to the master's study first, and then learned that the master was in Xinxue Courtyard, and there was a fire over there. Xinxue Courtyard is the residence of Mrs. Feng, and it is the name given by the emperor, and when such a major event happens, the concubine naturally can't take care of her life and death. ”

Lin Yue's words were sincere, which can be described as touching. She only said that Xin Xueyuan caught fire but did not mention the killer at all, and showed the deep lady who only knew her husband and children.

"I see, it's really hard for you. Chu Xiangjun glanced at her, turned his head to Situ Lin and said, "Lin'er, it seems that the killer who appeared in Zhongfu is not simple, although this matter cannot alarm the emperor, it is necessary to take precautions." Last night's events should not just be the beginning. ”

"What the mother concubine is worried about is also what Zhen Guogong and I are worried about, last night's incident did go to Zhong Li, those killers' blades are quenched with poison, it can be said that they see blood to seal their throats, and they have poison hidden in their teeth. Now we've only found tokens from them, and nothing else. Situ Lin was also quite worried, and deliberately informed everyone in the main hall of part of the news he obtained, paying attention to everyone's expressions.

Baili Xuan, who had been in the back hall, walked out, and Du Juan followed behind him and helped Xiao Fei into the main hall, and after the three of them saluted, they were about to retreat to the side, but Chu Xiangjun, who was sitting on the main seat, said, "Mr. Baili is a lot more stable in my heart here, please take a seat." He looked at Du Juan and Xiao Fei again, sighed and continued, "Alas... , Look at this girl's face is not right, and it is not appropriate to stand, you two also sit down and talk. ”

Bai Li Xuan was not polite, arched his hand with a smile, walked straight to the position where he had sat before, and sat down casually. Du Juan helped Xiao Fei to thank Princess Ling, and then retreated to a position farther behind Bai Li Xuan and sat down.

"Miss Yan, that girl's poison is no longer a big problem, fortunately, there is no wound on her hand, otherwise she would have lost her life at this moment. Presumably, the death of Mrs. Gu was caused by the poison on her hands. Bai Li Xuan straightened his sleeves, and the old god said, "However, where does this poison come from, that girl can't tell how ugly she is, so this poison is only every other day, put a stick of incense blood from the ring finger to cleanse the poison in the body." ”

"With Mr. Lao, we must save this girl's life. Zhong Li thanked him, but his eyes showed worry.

Bai Li Xuan raised his hand and said, "Those who are doctors should do their best for their patients, as for where this poison comes from, it is something that Miss Yan must find out now." ”

The cuckoo walked out from behind with his head down, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Miss, Mr. Baili said that Xiaofei's poison is in her hands, she is a rough girl who was asked to go to Fuyuan Courtyard, today she actually asked her to come to Xinxue Courtyard to deliver Madame's relics, will it ......?"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sharp voice, "Bold! What a slave, he dares to speak and play with his tongue, what do you mean by such ulterior motives." ”

The cuckoo kowtowed heavily to the ground, and said unhurriedly, "Aunt Lin is angry, the slave and maid are not only talking about what they saw, but also the doubts in their hearts, and they didn't talk about it. Xiao Fei couldn't tell how she was poisoned, let alone where it came from. only said that he received the brocade box from Miss Shu early in the morning and sent it to Xinxue Courtyard, and accidentally tripped on the way, fearing that the items in the brocade box would be damaged, so he opened the brocade box and took a closer look...... , After that, she changed the medicine for Gu Pozi and fed her, but soon after that Gu Pozi died of poison, and she didn't know how she was poisoned. ”

"I see, it's understandable that this girl has such doubts, and Lin's impatience makes people feel suspicious no matter how you look at it. Chu Xiangjun, who had not spoken, spoke at this time, and glanced at Lin Yue, who was angry.

Hearing this, Lin Yue immediately rushed out and knelt on the ground to defend herself, beating the cuckoo like a shrew scolding the street, not caring about Chu Xiangjun's existence at all.

Situ Lin, who couldn't stand it, said coldly, "Enough, this matter is still undecided, you are like a shrew in the market like this." Lin, who was suppressed by Situ Lin's cheers, stayed there.

Chu Xiangjun Shi Shiran said, "It seems that there are a lot of doubts in this matter, and in my opinion, the Lin family reacts like this, so I will start with her courtyard first." Girl, you stand up, there is this princess here today, and she will definitely find out and solve your doubts, Lin, you also stand up, what kind of nonsense is this. ”

However, Zhong Qinghe, who had been silent beside him, listened to what Du Juan said, and suddenly turned pale, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead in a panic, all of which fell in the eyes of everyone, but no one broke it, just watched coldly, and the people brought by Situ Lin thoroughly investigated all parts of the Zhong Mansion.

On the hall, Chu Xiangjun and Zhong Li had a very happy conversation, talking about the events of these years in detail, only talking about the deceased Feng Tianxue, both of them had sad feelings. Lin Yue and Zhong Qinghe also stepped forward to talk many times, but they didn't get much please, and were ridiculed by Chu Xiangjun and Zhong Li without a trace, and because Chu Xiangjun was the princess, they didn't dare to leave without permission, so they had to sit aside with a smiling face.

Half an hour later, Zhong Zihong hurriedly returned to the mansion in armor, and saw that Princess Ling Chu Xiangjun came to visit the mansion, and was greatly surprised. After some politeness, Zhong Li told everything about everything, and was interrupted by the Lin family several times during the period, which made Zhong Zihong quite unhappy, but he did not punish him in person for the sake of face, but only reprimanded him slightly. This made Princess Ling feel more mustard in her heart, and her love for Zhong Li was even greater.

"Qinghe has a matter that asks his father for permission. She stepped forward with a sad face and knelt down.
