Chapter 223 Chapter 223

Xiao Qiyu pursed his lips, after the fright just now, it is impossible for him to leave her alone now no matter what...

He didn't want to experience this kind of thing again.

So, he cast a deep look at the sick little wife in his arms, thought for a while and said, "Then I will stay with you here, and wait for the emperor's decree to pardon you."

Mu Yunjiang laughed when he heard this.

It turned out that she was thinking too much. He has always been a rational person. He was afraid that he would not be able to do something against the emperor, so she made a difficult sentence on purpose:
"It's almost midnight now, if the antidote can't be developed, the case can't be solved, and my life is in danger. How could your father forgive me?"

Speaking of this, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that you have already found the poisoner and got the antidote?"

Xiao Qiyu nodded, with a warm expression: "Well, I got it, and it has been sent to Ningde Palace... Mr. Shen has already returned to his life, and the emperor should be able to release you soon..."

very nice.

His Royal Highness Prince Jingbei still has two brushes.

No wonder he was so angry just now.

Originally, he had found out the murderer and got the antidote, but in the end, he hurried back to see himself, only to see a distraught wife lying on the ground—I believe that any man who loves his wife, faced with such a Everything will be distraught...

"sorry……"

She pressed her head against him and apologized again.

If it was changed, she was running around, only to see a little hope, but found that her running around was meaningless, it would be so uncomfortable.

"Why are you apologizing to me again...Lie down, it's quite cold here, I'll ask someone to bring you two more quilts, and when it's dawn, we'll go home..."

He relocated her to the floor, trying to get her to rest.

At this moment, someone walked in quickly from outside and shouted: "The imperial decree has arrived, Princess Jingbei Mu Yunjiang is receiving the decree... Oh, King Jingbei is also here, so let's receive the decree together!"

It was the will from Gao Huan.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiyu hurriedly helped Mu Yunjiang who was lying down to stand up and knelt down again, and said in unison: "Your servant leads the order."

"The emperor said that since the antidote has been found and the murderer has been arrested, Princess Jingbei Mu Yunjiang can follow King Jingbei to live in Hui'an Palace temporarily. When the case of Concubine De is over, she can return to the palace..."

Gao Huan passed on oral instructions.

Xiao Qiyu Mu Yunjiang quickly thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Prince Jingbei, what's going on outside? Isn't Eunuch Cao from the Empress Dowager's Palace? And Aunt Zhang, who seems to be from the Princess's Palace...you've got everything down?"

When Gao Huan first came in, he saw the man and woman kneeling outside the prison.

"They want to poison my concubine, this king will go to the emperor to make it clear..."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Gao Huan didn't mind his own business, and left immediately. When he left the prison door, he looked at the dark night sky and walked into the palace against the cold wind.

The sky prison is very cloudy, a bit colder than the palace.

Xiao Qiyu brought Mu Yunjiang back to Hui'an Palace, and lived in the palace where he lived when he was a child.

The old ancestor treated him well, so, the room he lived in when he was a child, none of the furnishings inside were lost, and the layout was not touched, and someone would go in and clean it every few days, it was very clean.

When Xiao Qiyu carried Mu Yunjiang back home, he fell into a deep sleep. To be precise, it was due to his weakness.

Coming out of the dungeon, he sat in a carriage for a while, and just for a short while, Mu Yunjiang nestled in his arms, exhausted already, and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, he was worried about putting her on the bed, but he had to go back to continue the poisoning case of Concubine Chad.

The ancestor really knew him too well, and immediately sent Aunt An over.

Aunt An said: "His Royal Highness, you can go to work, the princess will be handed over to the old maid to take care of her, and she will take good care of her for you..."

Xiao Qiyu still asked someone to bring Xiaoxiao and Chuchu into the palace to take care of them, so he went to work.

He went to Ningde Palace first, saw Su Luo, the maidservant next to Concubine De, and asked, "Is the antidote useful?"

Su Luo hurriedly said respectfully: "It's useful, it's useful. After taking it, the poison in Empress Defei's body will be released... Now there is basically no serious problem. Just now, Doctor Liu came back and examined it again, and said A: As long as you take good care of it for a while, you can recover well..."

"That's good."

He did not go to see Concubine De, but went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to meet Shen Xingnan.

Now that Xie Xiaoman is in his hands, he is still fighting a tough battle, and it is very likely that he will anger his father because of this, but tonight, he just wants to give it a try...

*
The time was pulled back to an hour ago again.

On the other side of Sishui City, Xie Xiaoman was held up by the white-bearded old man with a knife. This change was unexpected to her—she asked Xiao Qiyu to enter Sishui City because she knew that in Sishui, these In this year, many old ministries from the Chentang Mutiny gathered 16 years ago.

She got acquainted with one of the veterans named Zhao Si, who is now the treasurer of No. 3 Courtyard of Heifengpu in Sishui City.

She told Zhao Si that she wanted to kill a beast that was not as good as a beast, and wanted to use the underground secret room in Heifengpu.

I never thought about it, but I was captured instead.

Facing this change, she cried out in disbelief:

"Uncle Zhao, you... you and him are actually in the same group?"

She is also a smart person, and she immediately discovered the way.

The white-bearded old man smiled coldly: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to answer, who is it that made people frame the little princess and kill King Jingbei..."

"What do you call mutilation? This so-called King of Jingbei, he... he is ungrateful, he failed General Rong's upbringing, he deserves death..."

Xie Xiaoman screamed angrily.

Xiao Qiyu walked up to her with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Excuse me, why should I die? Master's revenge, I have never forgotten. I always remember the grievances of the soldiers... Even now I am married, but this will not delay my completion of these two things..."

"In all these years, I have never dared to make a premise on the emperor, because as long as this matter is mentioned, he will punish anyone, beheading, exile, or confinement, and I don't have enough evidence to prove that what the master said back then The treason of the country is someone's bureau.

"At that time, I was young, and you were also young. How can I win people's trust with childish words? When we grow up, many evidences at that time have been destroyed. How can I prove that Master has never treason?"

This is quite reasonable.

It would be extremely difficult to overturn the case - back then, all the evidence pointed to the fact that Rong's army was treason.

Xie Xiaoman was startled when he heard this, and then glanced at Fourth Uncle Zhao: "So, you've been collecting evidence all these years, haven't you? And you're still in contact with the old department back then, gathered here?"

"Yes. It's just that the years are too long, and it's not easy to trace. The truth of the year, even some of the old Rong family army didn't know what happened? They were wronged, changed their names and surnames, and could only be refugees in various places for more than ten years. Do you think Am I unwilling to help them go back to their hometown and meet their loved ones?"

Xiao Qiyu was also anxious. For so many years, this matter has progressed too slowly. Sometimes, he almost loses confidence.

Knowing that the former little master never forgot his roots, Xie Xiaoman was naturally excited, and she naturally knew how difficult it is to rehabilitate this case, so she hurriedly said:

"Actually, I... I have been investigating this matter. No, it should be said that many of the blood of Chen Tang's old department like me are investigating this case. Don't worry, as long as we are of one mind, this matter will definitely be resolved." It can be checked clearly..."

Seeing that her tone softened, Xiao Qiyu immediately asked back quietly:

"Since you entered the palace a long time ago, why didn't you come to recognize me?".

"I... I'm not sure what kind of mentality you have, Mr. Lang... Someone told me that General Rong's treason was all because of you..."

Xie Xiaoman hesitated to say this: "Yes, General Rong Xi was forced to become a traitor step by step just to protect you... You know it, but you don't want to say it. Having said that, the good reputation you have gained so far will be destroyed in one day..."

This charge will indeed make those descendants of Chen Tang's old tribe who want to overturn the case but suffer from being unable to find the leader dare not come to recognize each other.

After all, in their view, he is a prince, so he naturally wants to enjoy the glory and wealth. Knowing that the mutiny in Chentang is a taboo in the emperor's heart, as a prince who is not favored, even if he touches it.

"Who told you? How did that person tell you about this!"

Back then, they were all young and didn't even have much insight.Many things are fixed in the mind after growing up.

Xie Xiaoman had this idea, someone must have instilled this idea in them later.

The reason why Xiao Qiyu believed that Master did not treason was because he had a guard by his side. He witnessed the whole incident with his own eyes and left Master's handwritten letter.

It's a pity that when the guard and the manuscript were taken hostage, he was killed and the book was destroyed.As a proton, a son who was rejected by the emperor, it was difficult for him to protect himself in that situation, let alone complaining for his master!
These years, he endured the humiliation, just wanting to keep himself first before talking about other things.

Xie Xiaoman didn't speak any more.

"Xiao Xie, you are being used as a gun, do you know that. Come and see me, do you remember who I am?"

Suddenly, a villain wearing half a mask jumped out from behind the white-bearded old man and pointed at himself: "I am your mother's younger brother, your bearded uncle, the one who doesn't like shaving..."

Xie Xiaoman certainly remembered him, but he was very handsome back then, but now, how did he become a villain?

After taking off the mask, that half of the face was scarred and terrifying.

"But how could that person use me? He saved my life, and he has been working hard to avenge us all these years? Why did he use my hand to assassinate the Third Highness?"

Xie Xiaoman couldn't figure it out, the beliefs he had held for so many years were collapsing little by little because of these words.

"Who was the one who made you poison Concubine Xian? Who was the one who saved you?"

Xiao Qiyu asked again.

Xie Xiaoman opened his mouth to say something, but closed his mouth again, and asked back with a look of alarm: "How can I be sure that you are not trying to trick me?"

Xiao Qiyu thought and thought, and said to Uncle Hu Zi: "Go and call Duo Duo over..."

Dodo is Xie Xiaoman's cousin, and they were friends who played together many years ago.

When Xie Xiaoman saw Dodo, and when Dodo told Xie Xiaoman: Your Highness has not forgotten General Rong from the beginning to the end, Xie Xiaoman believed that he might really be used by someone.

So Xie Xiaoman confessed the truth, and also gave the hiding place of the antidote.

In this way, Xiao Qiyu finally found the antidote and made a plan to bring Xie Xiaoman back into the palace.

*
In the middle of the night, Shen Xingnan was waiting for Xiao Qiyu's arrival in the inner hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Xie Xiaoman said that she would wait for King Jingbei to arrive before suing the case.

Finally, Xiao Qiyu came slowly.

The two presiding judges sat in the high hall, Shen Xingnan slapped the gavel, "Why did you murder Concubine De, tell me quickly!"

Xie Xiaoman kowtowed calmly, and then said: "The little girl's real name is Xie Mang, and she was originally the daughter of Qingshuang, the servant girl of General Rong Xi. All the 16 soldiers under his command were killed outside Chentang Pass.

"The little girl Xie Mang once followed Xiao Langjun and became Da Qi's hostage. Later, she was executed by Da Qi's dignitaries for protecting Xiao Langjun. It was Mr. Zhong who took me back when I was half dead.

"Mr. Zhong is one of the military advisers of the Rong family army.

"Sir also saved several children in the army. These years, he has been teaching us how to read and practice swords, so that we can become useful people in the future, but also to prepare for General Rong's justice.

"The little girl was arranged to enter the harem a few years ago, first to deliver meals in the cold palace, and then to be arranged next to the concubine Xian.

"Mr. Zhong told us that King Jingbei is obsessed with female sex and doesn't think about making progress. We use the hands of Princess Jingbei to get rid of Concubine De in order to avenge the murder of General Rong..."

Shen Xingnan was secretly surprised when he heard this. This old case of more than ten years has shocked the world, but it is the emperor's heart disease. Today, the little maid said so, I am afraid that it will provoke the emperor's wrath.

He couldn't help but secretly glanced at King Jingbei beside him, feeling cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart was even more disturbed:
"Boldly rebelling against the traitor, the fact that Rong's treason was known all over the world. How can you say that you were wronged by others. But as a traitor, it's fine if you don't want to repent and don't want to repent. What is the crime for trapping others?"

Xie Xiaoman (Xie Mang) kowtowed his head calmly, and replied loudly: "My lord, General Rong Xi is not guilty. The incident back then was extremely complicated. Based on the evidence produced, it is concluded that General Rong Xi is treasonous, which is the greatest insult to General Rong Xi."

Shen Xingnan felt helpless when he saw that King Jingbei kept silent. Could it be that this prince also had the same idea?

He lowered his face and patted the gavel again: "Bold Xie Mang, how did you poison, tell the truth...don't divert the topic..."

Xie Xiaoman immediately replied: "Someone in Ningde Palace drugged Concubine De's food in a small amount, and the little girl persuaded Concubine Xian to plot against the new Concubine. , not only made the family of the concubine de concubine less dependent in the inner palace, but also made King Jingbei suffer from being greedy for beauty... King Jingbei - as General Rong Xi's apprentice, did not avenge the general's grievances, but He is an unfilial person..."

The more Shen Xingnan listened, the more frightened he became, and he patted the gavel again: "Since your plan has succeeded, why do you want to lure King Jingbei out?"

 See you tomorrow.
