Chapter 084: Death Comes
As Chen Bing's words fell, the whole room looked at Aunt Qiu with a strange look in their eyes.
It's just a moment of lightning, Aunt Qiu has already understood a rough idea, today's show was originally aimed at her, she originally thought that Chen Bing was reliable, but she didn't expect that Chen Bing was also bought, but I don't know whether the person who bought Chen Bing is Mu Qingchen or Xiao Yi.
"Chen Bing, don't go through everything one by one. Xiao Yi didn't look at Aunt Qiu, but only said to Chen Bing.
Chen Bing listened to Xiao Yi's words, and intermittently explained all the causes and consequences of the matter, but when he spoke, he kept his head down, and Aunt Qiu couldn't see the look on his face clearly, and she didn't know why things had become the way they were.
According to Chen Bing, between Chen Bing and Qiu Rong, they were old acquaintances, and they had a personal relationship before Qiu Rong entered the palace, and after Qiu Rong entered the palace, the two had not seen each other for many years, and they thought that they would see each other indefinitely, but they never thought that the emperor would send Qiu Rong to take Mu Qingchen to serve by his side. Although the Yiwang Mansion is also a deep courtyard, it is not the lonely court after all, and there are more opportunities for Qiu Rong to leave the mansion.
Seeing each other again, the old love is unforgettable, Qiu Rong hid from Qingchen and everyone in King Yi's mansion, and secretly communicated with Chen Bing. Unexpectedly, Qiu Rong left the Yiwang Mansion in the middle of the night, and was seen by the little girl Red Silk who was on an errand in Luluo, and somehow it reached Mu Qingchen's ears.
Mu Qingchen didn't want to care, but Qiu Rong felt uneasy in his heart, feeling that there was always a handle in Mu Qingchen's hands, and he was unwilling to kill Qingchen. After careful consideration, he found his concubine Chen Bing together, and thought of such a vicious method, wanting to put Qingchen to death.
Aunt Qiu was about to defend something, but saw Qingchen beckoning Jin Yan who was standing next to her, and ordered something in Jin Yan's ear, Jin Yan nodded, turned around and walked to the inner room, and after a while, she walked over with a brocade box.
Qingchen took the brocade box from Jin Yan's hand, slowly opened it, took out a Zhu Hai from it, and let Jin Yan hand it over to Aunt Qiu's hand, and then spoke:
"Aunt Qiu, in fact, why bother? Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, this palace is not that unreasonable person, every time I see you leave the house in the middle of the night, this palace has never asked you anything, and I want to return to you the Zhu Hai that you left on the ground in a hurry, this palace should not know anything, but who would have thought ......"
Qingchen didn't finish speaking, just sighed slightly, as if he felt a little regretful.
Aunt Qiu looked at Zhu Hai in her hand, looked at Mu Qingchen with a shocked face, and when the words of explanation came to her mouth, she couldn't say a word, and her heart fell into a contradictory struggle.
If she admits that this Zhu Hai is hers, it is equivalent to admitting the crime of murdering the princess, but if she does not admit it......
"The grass people knew that they were guilty of a great sin, and they did not dare to ask the princess for forgiveness of their sins, and asked the princess to show mercy and only condemn the grass people alone, and the grass people were grateful. But at this moment, Chen Bing spoke again, and the moment the words fell, he took out the poison that had been prepared in his arms and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Hurry upβstop himβ" Qingchen hurriedly spoke, and Qin Zhong immediately stepped forward, but after all, it was a step too late, Chen Bing had already taken poison, and died of anger in front of everyone.
Qiu Rong's face turned pale all of a sudden, looking at Chen Bing, who was completely breathless, his hand gradually loosened, and the Zhu Hai in his hand slid to the ground, making a crisp sound.
After a while, Qiu Rong spoke to Xiao Yi and Mu Qingchen, and said lightly: "The slave confesses." β
"The palace maid Qiurong, as an elder in the palace, does not abide by the palace rules and has an affair with a foreign man, which is the first crime; Now the two crimes are punished together, and they should be executed, but after all, you are the person who was given to the palace by the emperor's brother, so you will first put Qiurong in the palace dungeon, and wait for the emperor to show the emperor's brother, and then make a decision. After Xiao Yi admitted to Qiu Rong, he spoke lightly, and a few words decided Qiu Rong's crime.
Qin Zhong was ordered by Xiao Yi to let the palace guards put Aunt Qiu in the palace dungeon, and Xiao Yi also sighed slightly after the matter came to light.
The people who had been arrested for interrogation were also released, and the guys from the pharmacy left with Chen Bing's body, and Lu Luo Curie suddenly became empty, and the room was silent.
"This time, thank you for your cooperation. Qingchen dragged his slightly weak body, saluted Xiao Yi, and said.
"If you want to solve Qiu Rong, what can't you do?Why are you joking with your body?" Xiao Yi ignored the faint smile on Qingchen's face and asked.
Qingchen looked up in amazement, looked at Xiao Yi, and was shocked in her heart, but she didn't know if Xiao Yi's words were the meaning she thought in her heart, but she was hesitant and didn't know how to speak.
"Although it is a bitter meat trick, this poison is real, after the show is over, you should also take the antidote. Xiao Yi said, and happened to hold Yu walking in with the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and then spoke again, "This king will enter the palace to pay attention to the imperial brother, you can handle the aftermath as soon as possible." β
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left, and there was a hint of elusiveness in his back.
Qingchen took the medicine under the service of Ji Yu, and after a little breathing, he felt much more comfortable. Xiao Yi is right, in fact, there are many ways to get rid of Aunt Qiu, and she doesn't have to use her own body as a bet, but she can't wait any longer, and she doesn't have time to wait any longer.
The more time passes and the more things she does, the easier it is for Xiao Ling to find out the clues, and now she has succeeded because she has the advantage of the identity of Princess Jade Hook, after all, no one would have thought that she would be the former Ye Tingcheng.
However, just as she is the person who knows Xiao Ling in the world, the person who knows her best is also Xiao Ling, even if she has tried her best to change some of her habits in the past, with Xiao Ling's sensitivity and suspicion, she will definitely be able to detect something in the long run.
Although it was already spring, and it was dark late, it was already afternoon when the dust was cleared.
Qingchen looked at the night outside and said to Jiyu: "Prepare, let's go to the dungeon, it's time for her to know the truth." β
Zhan Yu nodded, then found two sets of night clothes, changed them with Qingchen separately, and let the night die leave on his own, and the two took advantage of the night to go to the palace dungeon to do what Xiao Yi said about the "aftermath".
The dungeon of King Yi's Mansion is usually useless, so the guards are also very lax, Qingchen and Zhiyu easily avoid the palace guards and quietly enter the dungeon.
As soon as they entered the dungeon, a dark and damp aura came to their faces, carrying a cold cold wind that lingered around the two of them. It was dark in the dungeon, with only two or three candles faltering, as if they were going to be extinguished in the next moment.
Qingchen concentrated, listened to the sound of breathing coming from the deepest part of the dungeon, and walked in the direction, Aunt Qiu's hands and feet were shackled, squatting in the corner, motionless.
"Hold Yu, you go outside and watch. Qingchen's voice sounded in the darkness, telling Zhan Yu to go outside to control the wind, while he stood at the door of the cell, looking at Qiu Rong inside.
Shuyu walked away quietly, and Qiu Rong heard the voice, slowly raised his head, looked at Mu Qingchen, who was dressed in black at the door, and smiled slowly: "Sure enough, it's you, Princess Yi." β
"Aunt Qiu, do you know...... Why am I doing this?" Mu Qingchen pulled down the masking towel on his face, looked at Qiu Rong with burning eyes, and asked.
"Is it because the slave and maid are the emperor's people? Because the slave and maid are the meticulous work sent by the emperor to Princess Yi's side, Princess Yi has a plan, so she has to get rid of the slave and maid. Aunt Qiu was calm at the moment, and said, "I don't know Princess Yi, what the slave said is right?"
"That's half right. Qingchen opened the lock on the cell door, walked in, came to Qiu Rong's face, and spoke again, "There is another reason, after a long time, Aunt Qiu probably forgot about it...... In the past, the emperor said that Aunt Qiu was an old man in the palace, she was old and thoughtful, and she stayed by the side of the palace for three days, and she helped the emperor hide it from the palace for three days......"
Listening to Qingchen's words, Aunt Qiu's face finally no longer calmed, but became frightened, Mu Qingchen's smile in front of her was cold, full of coldness, and her originally delicate face seemed to be distorted in front of her eyes, transforming into another person. There were still deep whispers in her ears, but she didn't know what to say.
"The Ye family has three thousand hidden guards and more than two hundred lives, and you have a share of this account...... Aunt Qiu, do you understand now who the person standing in front of you is?"
Qingchen was still talking, and Aunt Qiu's limbs were gradually numb, and she could only watch Ye Chengcheng, who had been dead for a long time, stand in front of her with someone else's body against her and take revenge on herself.
"Du Feiyang's aunt who is on an errand by the emperor's side is you, his mother Qiu He is your own sister, and the person who has a personal relationship with Chen Bing is also Qiu He, not you. Qingchen slowly said the final truth, "Du Feiyang killed the eldest son of the Shen family, it was a bureau I set up, which led to Du Xiangrui and you, the secretary of Dali Temple, and then I helped Du Xiangrui save his nephew, and he gave me a jade pendant as a token of gratitude, but you, but I touched the melon and found out the relationship between Qiu He and Chen Bing. β
"So...... You caught Qiu He...... Threaten Chen Bing, threaten me......" Qiu Rong trembled and said.
"No, I didn't arrest her, that Zhu Hai was left behind in a hurry when she came to you in the middle of the night to save Du Feiyang. Du Feiyang is actually the son of Chen Bing and Qiu He, I threatened Chen Bing on the grounds of telling Du Xiangrui about Du Feiyang's life experience, Chen Bing naturally obediently obeyed in order to save his son, and you, first saw Zhu Hai, and then saw Chen Bing commit suicide to save Qiu He, so I thought that Qiu He was in my hands, in order to protect my sister, you can only bear all the charges. Mu Qingchen spoke, "Now that the truth has been told to you, you should also look at it and go to the underworld...... Please remember, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, and you are just paying back what you owe me. β
After Qingchen finished speaking, he stopped looking at Aunt Qiu, just turned around, locked the cell door again, and left with Zhuyu. And Aunt Qiu behind her fell down with a bang at the moment when Qingchen's back disappeared, and there was no sound anymore.
