The prince of the highest poison, you must serve

Chapter 116 Self-inflicted crimes

Chapter 116

It was a good night's sleep. When I woke up, the sunset had already set, and the sky was covered with halo.

"Miss, the young master has already gone to the old lady's yard. I heard that although the young master looks gloomy, the old lady is really happy." Zihe said while serving tea, and couldn't help giving Xie Lingqin a thumbs up, " Miss, your trick is really clever, you not only please the old lady, but also help the young master."

"But this kid's thinking is not developed, and it's difficult to improve." Xie Lingqin said, not caring, but changed the topic, "I watched in secret that Wang Renyi stuffed Xie Lingyu with something, look at her The smile on his face looks like flowers, it must not be a bad thing, you can go and have a look later when it is dark."

"Miss, don't worry, this servant will fulfill her mission."

"En." Xie Lingqin nodded his brows, exhaled, and said again after a while, "Well, is there any special news from the Ministry of War's Shangshu Mansion?"

"I heard that it is quite urgent, but the evidence is so strong that the emperor has not spoken out, and it is not easy for Mr. Shangshu to ask the prince for an explanation." Zihe thought for a while, with a happy expression on his face, "Miss, do you think the prince will understand?" , on purpose."

"what?"

"In the case of the seventh princess, the crown prince may have already guessed that the emperor wants to keep Li Junru, so it is not easy for the emperor to be suspicious. After all, for so many years, the emperor's heart has been devoted to the virtuous king, so even if there are many loopholes, the crown prince will follow suit. Not to let the emperor be dissatisfied, and Lord Shangshu’s wish was fulfilled, and now, Li Junru’s collusion with the barbarians is exposed again, and the evidence is convincing, the emperor can’t say anything, Lord Shangshu, it’s even more difficult to say anything, Li Junru will naturally not be reborn.”

Hearing this, Xie Lingqin nodded calmly, and a beam of light flowed in her eyes, "Well, maybe."

She had indeed thought of this a long time ago, and just because she thought about it, she had to admit that the prince's heart is profound and strategic.

Moreover, there is also a possibility that the crown prince Xu has long had the heart to get rid of Li Junru, step by step, bit by bit, without leaving a trace - of course she will not be narcissistic and think that the crown prince is for her.

The best conspirator is the exhaustive strategy. The crown prince has occupied the position of crown prince for many years, but he is not valued by the emperor. This is simply a strange balance.

Seeing that Xie Lingqin was not in a good mood, Zihe lowered his voice slightly, "I think this should be the case."

Xie Lingqin tapped the table with her fingers.

No matter what the prince thinks, it has nothing to do with her, but although Li Junru can't help him up, she doesn't feel really relaxed in her heart.

As soon as she came out today, she became famous and won her heart. I'm afraid that the person in charge of life and death on the jade steps in the palace will not be able to sit still.

when it gets dark.

In the General's Mansion, something happened again.

Miao Qiao's body was thrown at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Clothes are not fit, the seven orifices are bleeding, dilapidated like rubbish.

General Xie immediately ordered someone to invite the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Because, after all, Miaoqiao had already been handed over to Mr. Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, that day.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry and his son rushed to see this scene and couldn't help but change their expressions.

This... is too cruel, too bloody.

"Thank you, General, this..."

"I still want to know, Xu Gongzi, wasn't this maid taken away by you that day, why did she appear here?"

"This... she ran away by herself." Mr. Xu stood behind his father, puzzled and a little guilty.

Because, although he didn't kill this girl, there were many wounds on her wrist and arm, all of which were left by him before.

After a while, Jing Zhaoyin also arrived with his people, the smell of blood filled the air, Miaoqiao's body had been covered by a white cloth, only the same face was exposed, covered in blood, it looked extremely hideous.

At this time, Xie Lingqin led Zihe to stand far away, and his face was also quite shocked.

This is not a random method.

Looking at Miaoqiao's corpse, one could see the clues, Miaoqiao was strangled to death first, and then poisoned, that's why there was such a situation after death, although there was not much bleeding from the seven orifices.

And being able to put the corpse at the gate of the general's mansion so silently is clearly a blatant provocation.

"How could this happen?" Just when everyone was at a loss, Xie Danling came out from inside, looked at Miaoqiao's corpse, and immediately looked away with a look of horror.

General Xie clearly sensed something strange from Xie Danling's tone, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Father, I was rushing back to the mansion from the academy in a carriage. I met Miao Qiao on the way. She said that life in Shangshu's mansion was not good, and she said..." Glancing at Xie Lingqin, Xie Danling quickly regained her composure, "Surely, I'm going to take her back to the General's Mansion. She said she was going back to the Shangshu Mansion. Then, I was afraid that I would be late for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so I came back first... At that time, she had There are many injuries, but still alive and well."

"General Xie, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin, the conscience of heaven and earth, there will be no such thing as beating a maid to death in my mansion, and she died so badly. Besides, even if there is such a thing, you say, we You wouldn't be so stupid to send the corpse here."

After all, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry knew what kind of character his son had, so he felt a little guilty.

"I hit her before, but I wouldn't kill her." Mr. Xu immediately explained.

Upon hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of Industry saw his son's equally surprised and shocked expression, so he felt relieved and said righteously, "Jing Zhaoyin, General Xie, this matter, I'm afraid, needs to be investigated carefully."

"Dare to throw the corpse in front of the general's mansion without any trace, it's not a small matter." Jing Zhaoyin frowned and pondered, and after a while, he ordered to the people behind him, "Take the corpse away. Report to the emperor."

General Xie nodded, his expression dark.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said a few more words to General Xie, and by the way apologized to General Xie for Mr. Xu's affair with Miaoqiao in the General's mansion that day, and then left.

"big sister……"

Although Xie Danling didn't have any special feelings for Miaoqiao, a maid, but after all, it was someone from his yard. Looking at Xie Lingqin, he doubted her, but with such a big hand, he felt that she was not that powerful.

"What's wrong?" Xie Lingqin looked up at him coldly, with a blunt expression on his face.

"No, it's nothing." Xie Dan looked away quickly and followed Xie Zhuangjun into the mansion.

Xie Lingyu was also startled now, she didn't dare to gossip again, she also kept silent.

Xie Lingqin was the last one to walk, seeing a group of people entering the mansion, then turned around, looking at the extremely dark sky, feeling inexplicable in his heart.

Everything, every scene...

Just at that moment, she suddenly connected together a series of events that happened to her from time travel to this place, and found that everything, no matter what the reason, seemed to be coming towards her, towards the general's mansion.

There seems to be a big net in the dark, slowly sinking.

Xie Lingqin's eyes suddenly turned cold, because, looking sideways, she caught a glimpse of a shadow cast by a wall not far from the General's Mansion, which was a bit strange.

There, there should be someone hiding.

Xie Lingqin immediately nodded to Zihe beside him.

Zihe understood, and immediately took advantage of people's unpreparedness and walked towards the shadow.

Xie Lingqin returned to Qingshui Pavilion, Tridacna looked at Xie Lingqin's figure coming in, with a suspicious expression on his small face, "Miss, you have to be more careful these days, I think your complexion is not very good."

"You count?"

"No..." Tridacna immediately lowered her head, rubbing her head in embarrassment, "Your servant, it's your intuition."

"Well, your intuition is very good. Not to mention that Miaoqiao's corpse appeared in the general's mansion for no reason, and he died so miserably, there must be something wrong. I have asked Zihe to investigate."

Xie Lingqin didn't wait long, Zihe came in from the courtyard without a sound, and cupped his hands to Xie Lingqin, "Miss, there is indeed someone there, and this servant followed him to a different courtyard, but the servant saw it, Master Xuanyuan."

"Xuanyuandu?" Xie Lingqin was taken aback.

Zihe nodded, with a straight face, "Indeed."

"Go and see."

"Yes."

The two walked out of the General's Mansion silently, one behind the other.

Tridacna wanted to say something, but had no choice but to stop.

Xie Lingqin and Zihe went one behind the other, and they didn't stop until they got a different courtyard.

"Miss, this is here." Zihe finished his words in a soft voice, and then said, "Miss, this servant will go in and take a look."

"No need." Xie Lingqin waved his hand, and then motioned Zihe to look at the closed door.

"Squeak." The closed door was pulled open from the inside at this moment.

Zihe stood in front of Xie Lingqin with a defensive face.

Xuanyuan Duo saw this scene as soon as he opened the door, nodded and smiled, looked at Xie Lingqin, "You are really loyal maidservant."

"Ming people don't speak dark words, the corpse of the general's mansion..."

"It has nothing to do with me." Xuanyuan Du said, motioning Xie Lingqin to enter the room.

Xie Lingqin's eyes flashed, making Zihe stop his movements, and entered the courtyard with her with a cold face.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw the body of a man lying on the ground.

It looked like it was obviously poisoned.

"This……"

Xuanyuan folded his hands on his chest alone, and Zhang Kuang's deep eyebrows were full of doubts, "I came to this yard by accident, and felt something strange, so I came in to have a look, but I didn't look at anything, and saw this man walking quietly. Walked in, I didn't have anything to say, he fell down, well, I didn't even move a finger of him, and then I found the figure of the maid next to you coming, I thought you might come, so I went Waiting here."

Xie Lingqin listened to Xuanyuan Du's words, then glanced at the corpse on the ground, with a cool expression, "Can I trust you?"

Xuanyuan Dujian's eyebrows relaxed, and his tone was calm, "You can try to trust me."

"Plop—" Xie Lingqin suddenly laughed softly when he heard the sound, then walked towards the corpse, squatted down slowly, and checked around.

"Miss, do you want to come, servant girl." Zihe stepped forward, he felt that the young lady's hands were slender, how could she let a dirty person dirty the young lady's hands.

Xie Lingqin waved his hand, "No, this man has indeed taken the poison a long time ago, but judging by his hideous expression when he died, he probably didn't know that he was poisoned, so he died by accident."

While Xie Lingqin was speaking, her fingers reached the corner of the corpse's mouth again.

There, a pool of dirty blood.

But before the finger touched, Xuanyuan Du pulled it away, lowered his eyes, full of warning, "Be careful, it's poisonous."

Xie Lingqin looked at the hand grasped by Xuanyuan Du, and smiled, "No, I'm not such a reckless person, so you can let me go."

Xuanyuan Du's expression froze, looking at the little hand he was grasping, his face was quite embarrassed, and there was a trace of strangeness in his cold eyes.

"Mr. Xuanyuan, my lady has already said, please let go." Zihe couldn't stand it anymore, and hurried forward, his tone clearly displeased.

Xuanyuan Du's thick eyebrows tightened, "I'm sorry." After saying that, he immediately let go.

Looking at Xie Lingqin's calm expression, there was a moment of depression in my heart.

He was anxious just now, so he stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

However, Xie Lingqin was not only indifferent, but also laughed and talked freely. In comparison, it seemed that he was too nervous.

This feeling is very strange!
"Master Xuanyuan, please step back a little bit." Zihe took another step forward, blocking Xuanyuandu from looking at Xie Lingqin.

Xuanyuan Du felt a little helpless, he tightened the hand that had been holding the sword all year round, a smile appeared on his brows, which were as arrogant as iron painted with silver hooks, and he took a step back.

Xie Lingqin didn't pay attention to Zihe's reaction at this time, she thought she was still looking at the corpse, but she was actually staring at her own hand in a daze.

In other words, the medicine the crown prince applied to her before was really good. Not only did the swelling subside, but it also didn't hurt at all.

"Miss, does this person's death really have nothing to do with Mr. Xuanyuan?" Zihe's words quickly brought back Xie Lingqin's mind.

This tone seemed to have something to do with Master Xuanyuan.

However, Xie Lingqin shook his head, "Well, it's really irrelevant." While speaking, his fingers were about to touch the blood at the corner of the corpse's mouth again.

"Xie Lingqin—"

"Don't worry, I'm just looking to see what kind of poison it is." Xie Lingqin said, touching it with his fingertips, his pupils shrank for a moment.

However, when he looked at Zihe and Xuanyuan Du again, his face was calm.

"Mr. Xuanyuan, nothing can be found on this man, and there are no traces on his body. Let Jing Zhaoyin investigate, and we will leave first."

Xuanyuan stared at Xie Lingqin alone, his cold eyes burning, making his facial features even more profound and three-dimensional.After a while, he also stepped forward, "Let's go together, I have also seen this yard, it is so clean that there is no trace."

Xie Lingqin did not refuse, and the three left together.

"Mr. Xuanyuan, the crown prince drove you out of the carriage last time. Are you alright?"

"It's okay, the prince is still polite."

"Oh." Xie Lingqin didn't think the prince would be polite to anyone, "Then, I don't know why you came to Beirong Capital this time?" Xie Lingqin asked seemingly unintentionally.

Hearing the words, Xuanyuan Du paused, and looked at Xie Lingqin's eyes, hiding a little bit of defense, but after a while, his eyes relaxed again, "Come and play."

"That's fun." Xie Lingqin pursed her lips.

The dignified son of the Western Xia Dynasty came to Beirong to play?Quietly? !

Ah!
Under the moonlight, the man's figure changes, his green robe is like water, and he is cool and elegant, while the woman's eyebrows are cold, her blue shirt is clear and bright, and her temperament is like snow.

From a distance, it really is an incomparable match.

Xie Lingqin was not in a hurry, leaned less, and smiled slightly, "I heard that you are someone close to Prince Xixia, and if you come to the capital this time, even if it's just for fun, will Prince Xixia let you do something in Beirong by the way?" what?"

"Xie Lingqin..." Xuanyuan Du looked at Xie Lingqin with deep and indifferent eyes, "A woman who has no talent is a virtue."

"Oh, then I must be very wicked."

Xuanyuan Du was startled, frowned, and then smiled again, "It's not good for a woman to be too smart."

"Really." Xie Lingqin raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, looking at the street ahead, "I will try to inform Jing Zhaoyin of this corpse and say goodbye."

"Farewell."

"By the way, I heard that there is a new store opening in the capital tomorrow. Mr. Xuanyuan can go and have a look if you have time."

"it is good."

Watching Xie Lingqin's figure disappear little by little, Xuanyuan Du's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and a smile seemed to spread from his eyes.

This woman is really interesting.

Xie Lingqin found a beggar and told Jing Zhaoyin about the corpse. He and Zihe came out from the secret until seeing Jing Zhaoyin took the corpse away from the courtyard.

"Let's go, go home."

"Miss, why did you ask Jing Zhaoyin to bring this corpse back? The matter of Miaoqiao has nothing to do with us, and we don't need to investigate carefully."

"Because, Jing Zhaoyin, as the military minister of Beirong Capital City, must be faster than us in the investigation."

"Why do you want to investigate?" Zihe didn't quite understand, the lady didn't seem like a nosy person.

In the end, this matter will never involve Miss. As for what will happen to the General's Mansion, she thinks that since General Xie has treated Miss so badly for so many years, Miss will definitely not have any prosperity or loss. thought.

If the general's mansion really collapsed, she felt that the happiest person must be her young lady.

"Because..." Under the moonlight, Xie Lingxin's expression was slightly cold, and he looked at Zihe with those extraordinarily bright starry eyes. Poison, very similar."

"What?" Zihe was startled.

Xie Lingqin nodded, "I have combined many ingredients of this poison, of course, except for the one unique to the barbarians, but the smell is already close, so I can smell it."

"That……"

"That's right." Xie Lingqin moved his eyes, looked at the sparse stars in the sky, and said in a chaotic voice, "This matter seems to be just a dead maid, but if you look at it, it means provoking the general's mansion. But these are not important to me. The important thing is that the person who poisoned me is related to the Palace of the King of Yama, so this person is also related to the Palace of the King of Yama. If Jing Zhaoyin can find out who killed Miaoqiao, then I will If I can follow the clues to find the person who harmed me, in short, as far as I am concerned, there is no harm at all."

Hearing what Xie Lingqin said, Zihe's face overflowed with distress, "Miss, in fact, we can ask the prince to help you detoxify first, the prince's methods must be better than..."

"No need." Xie Lingqin raised his hand to stop, "I don't get along with the prince, and mutual generation and mutual restraint."

Zihe wanted to say something, but when he saw the young lady who was still fine just now, she seemed to get angry when she mentioned the prince, she turned around and quickly disappeared under the moonlight.

Zihe had no choice but to look behind him again, and had to follow silently.

That Mr. Xuanyuan...

……

But at this time, in the dark night, Xie Lingyu dressed up as a servant girl and quietly slipped out from the backyard of the General's Mansion.

In the cold wind, Xie Lingyu tightened her clothes and walked along the street ahead.

The further you go, the more remote you become.

What's different from the remote place here is that the street next door is full of silk, bamboo and string music. This is the third stream and nine alleys of the capital.

"Yeah, I heard it's from the general's mansion, and it's kicked out today."

"Hey, I found out. I heard that she is still an aunt..."

"Well, Second Miss Xie was born to her..."

"No way..."

Before Xie Lingyu approached, he heard malicious voices coming from a very dilapidated small courtyard ahead.

Xie Lingyu paused subconsciously, and her pretty face tightened.

"Hey, tell me, she looks quite white."

"Yeah, this face is over 30, it looks like a little girl, with delicate skin and tender flesh, it's amazing, I can't help it...haha..."

The voice became more and more obscene, accompanied by the sound of cloth rubbing against each other.

"What do you want to do, get the hell out of here." A sharp scolding sound also sounded at this moment.

It's the second aunt.

Xie Lingyu tightened her fingers, and when her face turned cold, she was about to run in.

However, when she saw four or five men pressing her mother down and pulling her mother with lewd smiles, her face turned red, her lips parted, her heart flustered, and she froze all of a sudden.

"Ah, you bastards, let me go. I am the aunt of the general's mansion, and my daughter is the second lady. I will be the mother-in-law of King Xian in the future. How dare you..."

"Ha ha……"

"Who doesn't know that it was thrown out, returning my aunt, returning the Xian Wang's mother-in-law, I really care about you, you are still here? How dare you brag..."

"That's right, it's worthless if you throw it away... Come on, let's have fun, we can still protect you from now on..."

"Ah... ah... bastard... get lost..."

The sounds of laughter, teasing, cursing, screaming, clothes being torn, and punches and kicks were all drowned out by the murmurs from the next street.

The second aunt opened her eyes wide and stared at the sky. She never thought that one day, she would end up like this.

She shouted angrily, begged for mercy, and cried bitterly, all to no avail.

The smirking faces of the man in front of her flashed one by one, making her unable to move.

And between all the tiny gaps of despair, she seemed to see that not far away...

Xie Lingyu's face.

Lingyu!

Ah!
Her daughter came to her rescue.

Aunt Erwan struggled to get away from under a man's lips, "Ling... Lingyu... why not... Mother is here..."
