Concubine's true colors

Chapter 125 Qian Ming Killed His Wife

And Zhou Xianrui, who hadn't spoken for a long time, a smile flashed in his eyes, then he frowned and said in a concentrated voice:
"Today I was going to the Guanyin Academy to take Xiangping back to the palace, but I didn't want the emperor's aunt to die unexpectedly. Since Huai'an Waiting for you has nothing to do with this matter, then Lord Hou should not leave, and come back to Guanyin with the king. Courtyard."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianrui waved his hands to the guards behind him. Immediately, four guards rushed forward and stood on the left and right of Huai'an Hou, making it difficult for the opponent to fly.

Seeing that Qian Ming couldn't get away, Ji Lingfeng knew that it would be useless for him to delay, so even if he was unwilling, he could only hug Zhou Xianrui and say:
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui, since Lord Hou is suspected of the murder of the princess, it is understandable to go back with him, but Ji is entrusted by the Prince of Thailand and has other important things to do, so let's say goodbye."

Seeing that Ji Lingfeng wanted to abandon his troops to save his commander, Zhou Xianrui didn't know why, the other party was going to rescue his soldiers, but when he saw Ji Lingfeng finished speaking and took out a token, even if His Highness Prince Rui didn't want to , but also had to let go.

Because at this time, Ji Lingfeng was holding the token of Prince Tai. Although they were all princes, the prince's rank was higher, so even Zhou Xianrui couldn't stop him.

With a chuckle, Zhou Xianrui gave way, stretched out his hand to Ji Lingfeng, and made a gesture of invitation. After Ji Lingfeng's figure disappeared completely, he turned his horse's head and looked at Huai'an Hou again.

"Master Ji is gone now, Master Hou, it's time for us to set off. After all, my aunt died tragically. As a nephew, I must seek justice for her."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xianrui ordered everyone to speed up, because this time is too precious for him.

Ji Lingfeng has already gone back to report the letter, Huai'an Hou now holds the crown prince's witness to pay homage to the rebellious king, the second prince Zhou Xiantai will definitely do his best to save him back.

And if this prince came, Zhou Xianrui wouldn't be able to compete with the other party, after all, his rank was lowered by one level, and he would be passive at that time.

Therefore, the time he has left is to pry open the mouth of Marquis Huai'an before Zhou Xiantai comes, and then get the witness card into his own hands. solve.

Therefore, a group of people returned to the Guanyin Temple without any delay, and hurried to Huayang's room. When they arrived, they saw everyone in the Shuai Mansion, as well as the female relatives of the other mansions, who had already gathered together In the yard.

Seeing Zhou Xianrui coming, everyone greeted him one after another, Xiangping even ran a few steps quickly, stepped forward and hugged his own brother's arm completely.

Then Xiangping said with fear on his face: "Brother Huang, go and have a look quickly, Aunt Huayang died in that room, but brother, you need to be mentally prepared, the state of aunt's death is scary."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui cast a sneaky glance at Xiao Jinxuan who was standing quietly behind the old lady, then hurriedly lowered his head and comforted softly:

"Xiang'er, don't be afraid, the emperor is here, I will take care of everything myself, you don't have to worry."

After saying this, Zhou Xianrui stepped into the room, and when he saw Hua Yang who was lying on the ground and died of exhaustion, his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

Seeing the noble Princess Huayang in the past, her hair that should have been in a high bun was scattered messily, and her face was mixed with sweat and tears. With her distorted face and wide-open eyes, she only took one look, It can make people realize that this princess must have experienced great joy before her death.

And that's not all, I saw Huayang's brocade clothes, which were wrinkled and covered with mud because of rolling on the ground, without the air of a royal goddess.

But these are actually nothing. What makes people feel the creepiest is Huayang's current abdominal cavity. Not only has her clothes been torn into pieces, but her abdomen has also been completely torn to the sides, and the blood in her intestines has been It overflowed to the ground, exuding bursts of stench.

And Huayang's hands with slender nails actually pulled out her own stomach from her stomach, and held it tightly in her hands. The ten blood-red nails all pierced into the stomach middle.

Such a bloody and strange way of death, not to mention Xiangping would be afraid, even Zhou Xianrui himself, this scene is the only one he has ever seen in his life, and he was shocked.

When he recovered from his astonishment, he called the two imperial physicians brought by Qian Ming earlier.

"My lords, I don't know the cause of my aunt's death. I don't know if you can check it out. Why did she die so miserably? Moreover, the king saw that the incision on my aunt's abdomen was ripped and jagged. , The section of the wound should be flat and smooth, which makes me puzzled as to what exactly cut my aunt's abdomen open."

The two imperial physicians who were questioned actually felt like crying now. They originally thought that going back to the palace was just to diagnose Huayang.But ever since they came to the Guanyin Temple, the two of them have been conducting autopsies, doing their best work. Yesterday it was the corpse of a bloody woman, and today it was the princess who died tragically. They couldn't figure it out. They both caught up.

But they didn't dare not answer Zhou Xianrui's question, and it was the older imperial doctor among them who stood up cautiously.

"Reporting to His Highness Prince Rui, Princess Huayang's injury was indeed not caused by a sharp weapon. If the servant is not mistaken, it should be that Her Highness the Princess herself used her nails to forcibly tear the abdomen apart."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar among the female relatives around. If these two were not imperial physicians in the palace, not barefoot doctors, they would have been beaten out by someone.

After all, he is a normal person, so he will not believe such nonsense. Who can cut open his stomach properly, and without the help of external objects, just use his fingernails to tear it apart slowly. Just thinking about it, everyone They all felt that it was too unbelievable to be convincing.

But others didn't believe it, but Marquis Huai'an stood up, and said with conviction:
"Everyone heard clearly, my wife killed herself, and it has nothing to do with this marquis. I hope you don't doubt my innocence. This marquis has never killed a princess."

Zhou Xianrui on the side heard the words, snorted, and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, there is no need to make excuses in such a hurry. My aunt died in a strange way. I'd better listen to the imperial doctor's words first. If she really dies or commits suicide by then, Hou It's not too late for the Lord to call for injustice."

After Zhou Xianrui finished speaking, he motioned for the elderly imperial doctor to continue.

And the old imperial doctor nodded, walked to Huayang's body, held a finger tightly in Huayang's hand, her own stomach, and said cautiously:
"Young minister knows that it is difficult to convince everyone of what you said just now. After all, how could a living person abandon his abdomen, but everyone, please look at the stomach in the princess's hand. It is pierced by nails, and the golden liquid flows out. It is the culprit that caused the princess to act so radically."

As soon as his words fell, the other younger imperial doctor hurriedly continued to say:

"This liquid has been checked by the two of us to be Chijin Water. This kind of thing is made by refining gold into powder and then blending it into viscous liquid. You should all know that if a person swallows gold, he will surely die, and this Chijin Water Although it is a liquid, it is no different from swallowing gold directly, and this is the real cause of the princess' death."

The old lady who has been silent all this time, has lived in the back house for decades, and she has certainly seen people who swallowed gold and died, and often this kind of dead are miserable and in pain, most of them can't bear the pain, go ahead Died by suicide.

The old lady remembered that more than [-] years ago, there was a concubine in her mother's family who swallowed gold and died. Later, she heard that the concubine couldn't stand the pain, and she couldn't die for a long time, so she finally cut it with scissors The stomach, the whole stomach that swallowed the gold was removed, and finally he lost too much blood and died.

Now this Huayang is so similar to the concubine's death at that time, so the old lady believed the words of the two imperial doctors, and told the example of the concubine to everyone present. While lamenting Huayang's tragic death, they were also curious about who it was that poured the red gold water into Princess Huayang.

After all, this princess doesn't seem like a person who would commit suicide, so all the blame was once again directed at Qian Ming.

After all, everyone has not forgotten that just last night, after losing his own flesh and blood, this Marquis Huai An not only slapped Hua Yang in the face in public, but also threatened to avenge Lian Xin and not let the poisoner go.

Seeing the eyes of the people looking at him, more and more full of scrutiny, Qian Ming panicked, and then said quickly:

"It is true that I have never harmed the princess, and Hong'er can testify for me. When I left, Madam was still fine. I have no idea why she took Chijinshui."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone questioned him immediately, claiming that Qian Yunhong was the son of Marquis Huai'an, and the testimony of a woman cannot be trusted at all.

But Zhou Xianrui raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said slowly:
"I think it's okay to ask Mr. Hong to come over. Although he is the son of Lord Hou, Huayang is also his mother. I believe he will not lose his fairness and help anyone."

Prince Rui had already spoken, and everyone naturally had no objection. After a while, Qian Yunhong was summoned in.

As soon as he came in, before he could ask him a word, Qian Yunhong knelt down on the ground, howled in pain, and crawled to Huayang's side on his knees.

Moreover, Qian Yunhong didn't care about Huayang's horrific death, he hugged the stepmother in his arms, and cried:
"Mother, wake up, it's all Hong'er's fault. I should have noticed your abnormality when my father left, but the child is so confused. He only knows how to obey his father's orders and stay outside the yard. It's all because of the child's confusion." Ah, if I failed to save your life, I don't deserve to live any longer, so let the child go with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Yunhong immediately pulled out his saber and wiped it on his neck, watching the people on the side, hurried forward to appease him repeatedly.

However, from the words of the other party, everyone still keenly grasped one important point, that is, when Qian Ming left, Princess Huayang was already in a bad state, and this Lord Hou ordered his child to guard it outside personally, and no one was allowed to come. Enter.

Such actions were all eccentric, and at this time, although everyone didn't say anything, they had already confirmed in their hearts that the person who killed Princess Huayang was definitely Huai'an Hou.
