Chapter 51: The Ghost in the Palace
"That's probably how things happened, the emperor and the princes and ministers, do you still believe that Qiu Yuanxue is a murderer?" He Jing said again about the ins and outs of what she had told the emperor before.
“...... He Jing...... I didn't expect you to pretend all the time......" Qiu Yuanxue looked at He Jing with cold eyes and whispered in her ear.
"This is the end of the matter, do you have anything else to say, Lord Liu?" the emperor asked.
"Back to the emperor, there is no more...... However, you can't believe the words of this murderer, Your Majesty!" Lord Liu knelt down and bowed.
"Come on, take him back to his cell. The emperor said.
Then two officers and soldiers walked in outside the hall and forcibly carried back Lord Liu, who was wearing prison clothes, and on the way back, Lord Liu was still quibbling: "Your Majesty! She is a murderer! You can't listen to her side of the law! Weichen is really impartial law enforcement!"
At this time, Qiu Yuanxue stepped forward and bowed in front of the emperor and pleaded: "Please forgive the emperor, when I was imprisoned in the prison before, I was knocked unconscious by a group of masked black-clothed people and brought out of the prison, and I didn't know anything about it before I woke up, and then I pretended to be Qiu Yuanmu Ying It was really helpless." ”
"Hey...... Qiu Yuanxue, I forgive your sins, you are wronged, what kind of sin can you talk about?" the emperor waved his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, is this autumn girl really framed?" said the eldest prince.
“...... But the emperor, now he must find the murderer, and he must not let her enter the palace again to harm people. The third prince said.
At this time, the second prince's eyes were rolling and falling into silence, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.
"Second brother, what do you think about this?" the third prince asked.
"Oh...... I think what the third brother said makes sense, and the murderer should indeed be severely punished. ”
"I said, second brother, what were you thinking just now?" the eldest prince asked, turning his head.
"Oh, nothing...... I just think it's strange that this murderer was able to sneak into the palace so smoothly......" said the second prince.
"You say that, is there a ghost in the palace?" said the emperor in shock.
At this time, Qiu Yuanxue came over and said: "There is no such possibility when returning to the emperor, just now I investigated the rooms of several ministers who were killed, and found the missing and incomplete Five Elements Bagua Compass, which proves that the murderer seems to have been killed one by one in the order of the five elements, this murderer knows these ministers so thoroughly, and he must have followed up and investigated many times in the hidden position of the palace in private." ”
"Miss Qiu, but how can we catch this murderer now?" the third prince asked.
Yege, who was watching from the sidelines, was also puzzled, she asked Xing Yuxiang next to her, "Hey, brother, what is the Five Elements Bagua?"
Xing Yuxiang shook his head and said, "Those things are generally made by feng shui masters, or fortune tellers, and I don't know much about them...... It's too esoteric after all. ”
"Your Majesty, I have a proposal. Qiu Yuanxue said.
"Oh, what a proposal, come and hear it......" said the emperor.
"Oh, what good ideas have you come up with again?" asked He Jing, who was beside him, in a low voice.
This method may be able to attract the attention of the murderer. Qiu Yuanxue said.
"Back to the emperor, please send someone to post a notice outside the city, and say: It was not Qiu Yuanxue who was killed on the execution ground before, but the impostor of the death row prisoner that Lord Liu wantonly found, Qiu Yuanxue is still alive, this person is in the sea of green forests, and she is not a murderer in the court, someone impersonated and framed her. At this point, Qiu Yuan wants to leave a word for the murderer, if you want to know how to crack it, come here to find me!" Qiu Yuanxue said.
“...... Isn't there a forbidden place in the sea of green forests?...... said that, Miss Qiu," the third prince said.
"It doesn't matter, the demon beasts there have been eliminated by me, and there will be no demons harming people for the time being. Qiu Yuanxue said.
“...... Okay, just do what you do, by the way, Qiu Yuanxue, I want to give you a gift. After the emperor finished speaking, he sent someone to write a copy and prepare to paste it in the town, and then he sent someone to bring it to Qiu Yuanxue with a tray covered with a cloth.
"Thank you for the emperor's reward, but ...... This gift Qiuyuan can't be ......"
"Hey...... You set it up and take a look. The emperor said.
Qiu Yuanxue reluctantly took the tray containing the gift, lifted the cover and saw that there was a token inside.
"Your Majesty, what is this token?" Qiu Yuanxue took the token with both hands, looked at it, and asked suspiciously.
"In the future, if there are any more officials who oppress you, you can hold up this token and say that seeing this card is like seeing the saint, and they will not feel that they will not obey you. The emperor said.
"No, no, the emperor's gift is too expensive, I can't ......accept it," Qiu Yuanxue shook her head and refused.
At this time, a eunuch next to him shouted to Qiu Yuanxue: "The emperor told you to take it, you will take it, you are a girl, where are you talking like that? Is it not good for the emperor to give a gift?"
"This ...... Well, since the emperor said so, then I'll accept it for the time being. Qiu Yuanxue reluctantly put away the token.
"Oops...... is worthy of my sister, and even the emperor has protected her now. He Jing, who was on the side, secretly rejoiced in his heart.
"Okay, do you still have any doubts?" said the emperor.
The three princes, you look at me, I look at you, and they said in unison: "Father, we don't have it." ”
"Okay, in that case, you all go down......"
After speaking, everyone left the palace hall one after another, and at the steps outside the house, Ye Ge ran over and shouted happily: "Great, Sister Xue, you have finally cleared your grievances." ”
"Yes, congratulations to Miss Qiu, and she has been rewarded by the emperor. Xing Yuxiang said.
"Oh, that's good for good people. He Jing said proudly.
"By the way, He Jing...... You knew I wasn't dead before, why did I listen to Sister Nightsong...... Are you excited to die and come back to life?" Qiu Yuanxue said with cold eyes as she looked at He Jing.
"Ahh......h Isn't that for the enemy......" He Jing said.
"Enemy?!, you mean that people have been quietly following us since we entered the city?" Xing Yuxiang said in shock.
"Of course, since the murderer wants to frame Qiu Yuanxue, he will definitely follow it and observe the movements, I'm just playing it for the murderer. He Jing said.
"This enemy is so setting up a game behind my back to frame me, so why don't we take advantage of this game and give him a counter-general's game. Qiu Yuanxue said.
"Sister Xue is so right, that enemy is really hateful! I see, even if it is a thousand cuts, it is not too much. Nightsong said.
"However, then it's all left for us to head to the Sea of Green Forests to prepare for the rabbit. Xing Yuxiang said.
"If you want to go, use my portal. He Jing said.
So, He Jing played the flute and summoned the space-time wormhole Qiu Yuanxue and the others to jump into the wormhole, and as the cave mouth closed, Qiu Yuanxue and the others were teleported away to the direction of the sea of green forests......
At the same time, the three princes walked out of the palace one after another, and the eldest prince saw that the second prince was usually restless, so he asked with concern: "Hey, second brother, what have you been busy with lately? ”
"Oh agh...... I've been busy with books lately, and I've been thinking about the subject matter in the book just now. The second prince replied.
"Second brother, then you usually pay more attention to your body and don't overwork. The third prince said.
Subsequently, the three princes dispersed......
In the blink of an eye, in the cell of the cell, Lord Liu kept standing at the cell door and shouted desperately: "Your Majesty! I have been wronged! Let me out!
"Okay, don't shout, Lord Liu, someone has come to see you!" a jailer walked over and opened the cell door.
"Come and see me, must the emperor have figured it out......" Lord Liu was happy, but he saw a person walking in from outside, this person was not the emperor but was also wearing a golden cloth robe, this person was none other than the second prince.
When the second prince walked to the prison, he waved his hand and told the jailer behind him to retreat.
Lord Liu asked very suspiciously, "Your Majesty the Second Prince, why are you here?"
"Alas...... I said Lao Liu, look at what you did for me, a murderer dares to be so rampant...... Alas, I think your rice bowl has been eaten in vain all these years. The second prince pouted and said with a smile.
"Second prince, save me and let me out......" Lord Liu knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Save you, naturally you can go......" After speaking, the second prince took Lord Liu out.
At this time, Er Huangzi's face first showed a sinister and cunning evil smile.
Immediately afterwards, the second prince took Lord Liu to the shore of a cliff, Lord Liu looked at the foot of the cliff, only to see that there was an abyss under his feet, and he was so frightened that his hair stood on end and asked, "Second ...... Second prince, this ...... Where is this? Didn't you say you took me away?"
"Leave? huh...... You messed things up and still want to leave?" said the second prince.
At this moment, the sound transmission stone on his body came with the sound of "Didi, Didi!"
The second prince turned around and opened the sound transmission stone, and on the other side of the sound transmission stone was the voice of a mysterious figure: "Your Majesty the second prince, don't you come here after a long time?"
"I ask how much better I can be, that old thing doesn't die every day, I don't have a solid life, what kind of people in the world? What do those things have to do with me? All I want is the glory and wealth of the throne and the country. The second prince said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will help you achieve everything you said, and I really want to know one thing now. Shadow continued.
"What's the matter? The second prince said.
"Is that Qiu Yuanxue, is she dead?" asked Shadow.
"It's not dead, the official next to me is a waste, Qiu Yuanxue not only didn't die, but she also got a token for the officials of the world to listen to her call and be appreciated by the emperor, I really can't swallow this evil gas of collusion. The second prince said, and at this time, the golden sword at his waist was already unsheathed and pulled out.
"Oh, then your minister is useless, since His Majesty the prince has no useful weeds, he must be eradicated and cleaned to avoid future troubles. Shadow said.
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. ”
After saying that, the second prince hung up the communication, and after hearing these words, Lord Liu was shocked, and he asked dumbfounded: "Second prince, what do you want ......?"
I saw that the second prince suddenly turned around and picked up the sword and swept it quickly, sweeping a blood mark on Lord Liu's neck, blood flowed down the neck, Lord Liu hurriedly covered his neck with his hand in pain, he didn't expect that there would be an inner ghost in the palace until he died, and this inner ghost was actually the second prince.
Lord Liu looked at the sinister and cunning second prince in front of him with wide eyes, and he pointed his finger and said, "Uh...... You!...... ............"
"Waste is waste, oh yes, you're going to die soon, it's okay to know this, and I forgot to tell you something, I ordered them to kill those four ministers, if I didn't have my murderer to enter the palace so easily?hahahaha...... Next, Lao Liu, you will accompany those ministers to die together. ”
After speaking, I saw the second prince raise a ruthless kick and kick at Lord Liu, this kick directly kicked him into the abyss, and then only listened to Lord Liu's fierce screams and shouts, everything came to an abrupt end, and afterwards the second prince took out a rag to wipe the blood stains on the sword and said, "Alas...... This minister in the court is really unreliable, if I expect them to help me do things, ascend to the throne and wait until the year of the monkey...... Hmph!"
