The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 835 Xinbao, he is your uncle! (2)
The officials following behind also followed quickly.

A group of people went through the hall and room, and went directly to the side hall where the incident happened before.

Although there was almost no damage to the furniture and furnishings there at that time, the blood stains left on the ground could not be cleaned up.

Li Lin went over quickly to look it over, and said to Chu Qiyan seriously: "Someone must have fought here, and the blood is not dry yet, so it must be within half an hour!"

Chu Qiyan's eyes darkened, and he immediately realized that someone deliberately led him away from the previous incident, and thus missed a good show here.

"How do you explain?" He asked Li Ruixiang like this.

"Even if someone is fighting, what does it have to do with me?" Li Ruixiang said, and then he smiled hoarsely and said, "As you see——"

He shook off the hands of the two guards who were escorting him, and walked up from behind, "Our family is just a person with no strength to restrain a chicken. I heard a noise here by chance, so I came over to have a look, so I was caught by someone." It was a mistake, that's all."

Chu Qiyan didn't believe a word he said.

"You're still sophistrying now?" Chu Qiyan gradually lost her patience, and she no longer wanted to entangle with him——

This person is simply stubborn.

"First, His Majesty's secret guard was plotted against, and then Su Yi's wife was killed in the imperial garden. Since you keep saying that these have nothing to do with you, then you should explain it to me in front of everyone. Where have you been the whole day since the posting started?" Chu Qiyan asked, her tone becoming sharper unconsciously.

He stared into Li Ruixiang's eyes and kept pressing, "If everything has nothing to do with you, how could it be such a coincidence that you disappeared after the incident? Are you sure you're not a guilty conscience or absconding in fear of crime?"

With so many coincidences, not to mention Chu Qiyan, it is hard for others to believe that Li Ruixiang has nothing to do with this matter.

Li Ruixiang pursed his lips and remained silent for a while. The next time he raised his head to look at Chu Qiyan, he unexpectedly changed his tone and said casually: "Since you must say that, my son, and I forgot to tell you in advance Since you have confirmed your own whereabouts in the report, it will be useless for our family to say anything. After all, His Majesty passed away, and our family's life is coming to an end, so you can do whatever you want!"

He said these words casually, seemingly recognizing Chu Qiyan's testimony, but every sentence was full of helplessness and grievance, and he really brought his acting skills to the extreme.

Although Chu Qiyan had already identified him, as long as he didn't admit it himself for a moment, it would still be a bit lacking.

"Li Ruixiang, you have been with His Majesty for many years, so you don't need to say what you have learned. Now you can't justify yourself. If this son wants to punish you, you have nothing to say." Chu Qiyan said, looking at him coldly , "Is it true that you are willing to speak properly after I send you to the prison for execution?"

"No need!" Li Ruixiang said, with a crisp tone, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just do what you say, and I will admit it all. It is true that those hidden guards died at my hands, but they are His Majesty's servants themselves. Now that His Majesty has passed away, what is wrong with our family sending them to continue to serve His Majesty underground? It seems that it is not your turn to ask about those people's life or death, right?"

Chu Qiyan was taken aback when he heard the words, but was stopped by his question instead.

He is indeed not qualified to intervene with the emperor's secret guards.

Li Ruixiang looked at his livid face, and twitched the corners of his lips mockingly.

Chu Qiyan stared at him, only then did he truly realize how difficult this person is.

After thinking over and over again in his heart, he quickly made a decision, and said coldly: "It seems that you will not shed tears when you see the coffin. This son was still concerned about His Majesty's dignity and didn't want to bring this matter up publicly. Since you are If you must be stubborn, then I will tell you to die and understand!"

His tone was cold and stern, and he gave Li Lin a wink as he spoke, "Li Lin, go and bring him here!"

"Yes, son!" Li Lin agreed and hurried to do it.

Li Ruixiang still acted as if nothing had happened, and just waited and watched, but the officials couldn't help but started whispering.

Li Lin didn't take too long to go, and the people who brought back were naturally Yang Chenggang and Yuan Taiyi's group.

Li Ruixiang just glanced over indifferently, but his face was still calm, with an expression of being completely irrelevant, he simply sat down on the couch next to him and rested.

Imperial Physician Yuan and others tremblingly told what they knew, and the officials present showed expressions as if they had been struck by lightning, and each of them was stunned, unable to react for a long time.

After a long time, an old minister who was over fifty years old grabbed the collar of Imperial Physician Yuan with red eyes and confirmed, "Your words are true? Your Majesty was really poisoned with chronic poison earlier, and that's why he died. ?"

"Yes!" Imperial Physician Yuan was sweating profusely, not daring to lift his head.

"This—how could this happen!" The old official sat down on the ground with a pale face.

Chu Qiyan had been standing with her hands behind her back, standing by the side and listening, then she suddenly turned around and said to Li Ruixiang: "Your Majesty was poisoned, you clearly knew about it a long time ago, but you kept covering it up and passed on His Majesty's oral instructions privately." , came to coerce the imperial physician and Yang Chenggang and others to cover it up, this matter—how do you explain it?"

"Our family has passed on His Majesty's word of mouth." Li Ruixiang said, propped up on the couch and stood up slowly, "Anyway, now that His Majesty passed away, there is no proof of death, since Prince Nanhe, you must speculate about our family with such heart, Then it is useless for our family to talk too much. If you decide that our family is plotting something wrong, just push me out and kill me, why waste time here?"

The emperor was killed with chronic poison. The news was like a bolt from the blue, and the impact it brought was far from what he died in the assassination incident.

Whether it was officials or guards present, everyone's expressions changed again and again.

The only ones in the entire hall who remained calm were Li Ruixiang and Chu Qiyan.

The two people looked at each other silently, and the air in the hall gradually condensed between the gazes, as cold as if they were going to freeze them to death.

"Heh—" In the end, Chu Qiyan sneered first to break the silence.

He took a step forward, looked directly at Li Ruixiang's face, and said word by word: "I originally couldn't figure out why you would be unfavorable to His Majesty, but now, seeing your demeanor that you are not afraid of death, it is just right. It confirmed my guess. Say, who ordered you? If it wasn't for someone's secret manipulation, you wouldn't be able to do such a thing, and you wouldn't be able to do such a thing."
