A tyrant develops a daily life

Chapter 69 Arrest
At night, the candlelight is faint.

Concubine Jing sat kneeling at the small table, carefully copying a volume of scriptures.

The summer night is a bit dry and hot. I put ice cubes in the house, but it doesn’t relieve the heat. The cicadas outside are screaming, and there are a few frogs in the lotus pond, which disturb people. It’s hard to calm down. Wiping off the sweat, she couldn't sit still, she didn't understand how the princess could still calm down.

She flapped her fan lightly, and tentatively said: "Princess..."

"Don't make noise." Princess Jing interrupted her without raising her eyelids.

Huiren sighed in distress, at least listen to me, do you know how urgent the situation is?
But no matter how distressed Huiren was, she couldn't stand being a master and a slave. Since Princess Jing didn't want to hear it, she definitely had no reason to stick her neck and continue "croaking".

"Oh." She sighed again.

Princess Jing continued to copy the book.

Strange to say, cicadas croaking and frogs croaking endlessly, but Huiren could still clearly hear the rustling sound of Princess Jing's writing, delicate and clear, like a handful of mountain streams, bringing a touch of coolness in midsummer.

Gradually, she actually calmed down.

After another quarter of an hour, the servant girl reported that King Jing had arrived.

A trace of surprise flashed across Huiren's eyes, and then he retreated out with interest.

Concubine Jing didn't salute and say hello to the prince like the usual concubine, she was still copying the scriptures in her hand lightly, and she didn't even give King Jing a look.

King Jing frowned, but he didn't get angry. He just walked across from her and sat down slowly.

He looked at Princess Jing, and Princess Jing looked at the scriptures under his pen, he didn't speak, and Princess Jing didn't speak, the two just stood in a stalemate, the atmosphere was weird and cold.

I don't know how long this state lasted, Huiren stood far away on the corridor, when a maid asked her if she wanted a pot of tea, Huiren waved her hand.

It was King Jing who spoke: "When you come here, you don't even have a cup of tea?"

Concubine Jing said indifferently: "Is there any good tea in the prince's room? What I have here can't catch the prince's eyes, so don't take it out to disgust the prince."

King Jing touched a soft nail, his face was a little gloomy: "Do you know about Concubine Lin?"

Princess Jing ignored him.

He said to himself: "Because I was startled by a wild cat and fell down, only my daughter was saved in a pair of twins."

Princess Jing sneered: "It's her fate to keep one."

King Jing's eyes dimmed: "Listen to your tone, the wild cat thing seems to be done by you?"

Princess Jing laughed again: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

"You..." King Jing was so angry that he choked, this woman dared to talk to her like that!
Concubine Jing said mockingly: "My lord came here just to hear me admit that I killed your son? Well, I admit it, is your lord satisfied now?" Princess Jing looked at him sarcastically.

"I didn't say that!" King Jing turned his face away.

Concubine Jing said casually: "What's the difference between saying it or not? Believe me, don't ask me; don't believe me, let alone ask me, anyway, what I say is justifying myself in the eyes of the prince."

King Jing frowned, and looked at her fixedly: "Qingluan, do you have to do this?"

Princess Jing raised her eyebrows: "What about me?"

That flirtatious tone made King Jing feel angry, and he tried to suppress it, and said, "Can't we talk properly?"

Concubine Jing chuckled: "My lord lacks someone who can speak well?"

"Qingluan!" King Jing couldn't hold back anymore.

Concubine Jing was not intimidated by him at all: "If you want to find someone who is gentle and caring, go to Concubine Lin; if you want to find someone who is young and can act like a baby, go to Aunt Qiao's place. I am old and have a bad temper, and I can't serve the prince. Please go back. If you really want to punish me for killing your child, please wait until I finish copying this scripture."

King Jing glared at the scriptures impatiently: "What scriptures are you copying at this time? Do you know what happened outside? Not only about Concubine Lin, but also..."

Before he finished speaking, Princess Jing smiled fearlessly: "No matter how big the matter is, the prince will take it up? The prince is not willing to take it, and the Gu family, I, Gu Qingluan, was born with a good life, and someone will carry it for me when the sky falls. I don't worry about it."

"Gu Qingluan!"

"The prince has nothing else to say besides calling me by my name? Then please go back. Although I am not as busy as the prince, I am not really free."

King Jing was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, he clenched his fists, his eyes were like torches: "Did you take this king seriously? Do you really think that this king dare not do anything to you?"

"I put it in my eyes." Concubine Jing paused, King Jing's face turned pale, but suddenly he heard her say: "I just didn't take it to heart."

King Jing's face was so dark that it could be used to grind ink.

Concubine Jing glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Actually, why is the prince so excited? Isn't it just that a child died? The prince should have gotten used to it by now, and it's not like he hasn't died before."

"Gu Qingluan, are you still human? How can you say such a thing?" King Jing stormed away, smashing his fist on the table, smashing the table to pieces, splashing ink all over the scriptures that had just been copied.

Princess Jing's complexion changed instantly, and she slapped the pen on the ground: "Get out."

"Do you dare to throw out this king? This is the palace of the king!"

"Get out!" Princess Jing yelled, her eyes were red, as if she was enduring a mountain torrent, she might collapse at any time.

"You are simply unreasonable!" King Jing gave her a deep look, got up and went out.

Huiren sent King Jing to the door, and after crossing the threshold, King Jing suddenly stepped down and asked inexplicably, "Is there something wrong with her at home all day?"

Huiren teased: "Uh... this..."

"The two big things are all for her. The king came to her with good intentions. He didn't let her say a word. He quarreled with her!" After fighting, King Jing was furious, "This king is too spoiled with her, isn't he? She's already slapping her face! Copying scriptures and copying scriptures, she's not a nun!"

King Jing has a very good temper, even Lin Miaomiao thinks he is generous and easy-going, and is very willing to get close to him, but every time he meets Gu Qingluan, he is like a cannon being lit, and he can't control it!
Huiren once heard from Nurse Rui that the prince and concubine were once inseparable when they were young. The prince was just a down-and-out prince in the cold palace, and the concubine was the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She was designated as the crown princess by default, and somehow fell in love with the prince, so she refused the marriage of the eldest prince, that is, the prince.

The prince was so poor at that time, he couldn't even afford a decent set of clothes, and he was bullied by those bastards in the cold palace all day long.

The Gu family threatened that if the princess insisted on being with a down-and-out prince, she would be kicked out of the house, and the princess left without saying a word.

Splendor and wealth, the princess can leave behind.

So is the prince.

The emperor didn't approve of this marriage at the beginning. The Gu family has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, which is longer than the Great Zhou Dynasty. In this generation, there is only Gu Qingluan as a prostitute. The concubine who is used in the middle school, the emperor uttered harsh words to the prince in a fit of anger, he either separated or died, the prince was more stubborn than the princess, and actually swallowed the glass of poisoned wine.

Two people who are not blessed at all, have gone through untold hardships to come together, and should have cherished them more than other couples, but for some reason, their lives have turned into what they are today.

Seeing that the prince was still angry, Huiren sighed softly: "My lord, do you really not know why the princess copied scriptures?"

King Jing said: "She just doesn't want to talk to me, it's not about copying scriptures, she might be doing something else."

Huiren shook his head: "The day after tomorrow is the death day of the little princess, and the princess copied the "Curse of Rebirth"."

King Jing stopped talking, looking at the lonely and thin figure on the window, he felt guilty, and wanted to go in and have a look at her, but suddenly, the light went out.

The Lin family got the news of Fu Wangshu's death at midnight. Normally, Lin Miaomiao had already fallen asleep at this hour, but today, she seemed to have a premonition, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Concubine Lin insisted that it was the concubine who harmed her fetus. To be honest, before she moved into the palace, Lin Miaomiao had doubts like this. After all, the empress dowager is really hard-hearted. She just got a little favor from the little tyrant. Just being made things difficult by the Queen Mother——

But after getting along for a while, Lin Miaomiao felt that the queen mother was not that kind of person, so she said that all the troubles in the past were nothing but scolding her and punishing her to practice calligraphy without eating and facing the wall to think about her mistakes.Concubine Jing is a character who can't get along well with others, but she doesn't bother to do it if she wants to murder a fetus, and she can't do it.

That smallpox maid must have been placed by Sister Ning's side.

Or, the servant girl didn't know it, it was because someone counted the date and made her contract smallpox unknowingly.

It is absolutely impossible that Princess Jing did it, and as for the matter of the wild cat, it is even less likely that it was the work of Princess Jing.

I don't know who was plotting against Concubine Lin, and Concubine Jing took the blame.

On this side, Lin Miaomiao was thinking about Concubine Lin, while on the other side, Mother Xu knocked on the door of Mrs. Yao and Lin Chong's room hurriedly: "Third master! Third wife, it's not good! Someone is coming from the yamen. !"

Lin Chong and Yao Shi hurriedly dressed and went out. Lin Miaomiao was not asleep at all, she threw off the quilt and chased after them.

Mrs. Yao didn't want to take her with her, so she pestered Lin Chong. Lin Chong held his daughter in his arms and went to the flower hall.

The person who came was an official from the Jingzhao Mansion. Mrs. Yao recognized him. The last time Lin Miaomiao was robbed, it was he who went to the fourth place to find out about the situation, but Mrs. Yao did not meet him that time. I asked Fang today. You know, his name is Zhao Duo.

Zhao Duo talked about the female corpse in the moat. Due to soaking in water for too long, her whole body was bloated and beyond recognition, but Cailing recognized the mole on the right ear of the female corpse as Fu Wangshu. To be cautious, the yamen decided to ask the Lin family to identify it too. .

Since it was to identify the corpse, Lin Miaomiao couldn't be taken there. Lin Chong went alone. The clothes and jewelry worn by the female corpse were all custom-made by the Lin family. She also carried a family letter wrapped in kraft paper. Written to Lin Chong, saying that he had offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and was going to leave the capital to avoid the limelight.

This letter almost immediately confirmed the possibility of homicide.

"I heard that Concubine Jing and Miss Fu had some quarrels, right?" Zhao Duo asked.

"Why... ask that? Is there any clue?" Lin Chong didn't know about the bracelet.

Zhao Duo hesitated for a while, then said: "It's about the case, it's not convenient for me to disclose, please answer my question truthfully, does Princess Jing have any problems with Miss Fu?"

Lin Chong couldn't deny that Pei Lang was talking about marriage with Princess Rong, but Fu Wangshu got in the way. Princess Jing hated Fu Wangshu to death, and had been looking for her in secret.

In terms of the motive of committing the crime, Princess Jing has it.

As for the method and timing of the crime, it is too easy for a princess to crush an orphan girl to death. If she speaks, countless people will work for her.

That night, the officials went to King Jing's mansion with the arrest warrant.
