The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 136 Detention
"The eldest aunt was killed."

Chu Qianhan was awakened from the samadhi, feeling a sudden boost of luck in his body, resisting the urge to enter the palace overnight, took a deep breath and continued to samadhi.

The news of the eldest princess Chu Huaiyu's assassination spread through various channels, but there was no commotion in the capital, instead it was abnormally calm. The doors of noble and wealthy families were closed, and the business in Fireworks and Willow Lane has declined a lot.

Especially those high-end brothels and other courtyards, where the families are neglected and no one cares about them.

Overnight, it seems that everyone has become a gentleman, only at home with his wives and concubines.

Shangguan Qing slowly opened her eyes, but her memory was still on the podium in the big house.Nine flying swords left one after another, and then lost contact with her one after another, which severely damaged Shangguan Qing's mind.

"Where is this?" Shangguan Qing looked around in bewilderment, and found that she was lying on the bed in the boudoir, wearing a set of light gauze clothes, her whole body was weak, and the quilt was wet.

"What's wrong with me?" Shangguan Qing was in a mess and couldn't remember what happened.

In the dimness, the morning light illuminated the window paper, leaving behind the silhouettes of the treetops jumping around outside the house. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and Zhuqing was stopping someone, begging with all her strength: "The girl is still asleep, you can't go in."

"I'm investigating the case according to the order, but you still won't get out of the way." This is the voice of a stern woman.

Shangguan Qing seemed to have heard this voice before, but she couldn't remember it. She was so weak that she couldn't even move a finger. She could only lie in the wet quilt, feeling the loneliness and the damp and cold gradually taking away her body temperature.

"Are you going to die?" Shangguan Qing thought, she didn't feel fear, but a sense of relief.

The door of the room was knocked open, and a group of female officials in brocade clothes rushed in. After looking around the room, they saw Shangguan Qing lying on the bed dying.

The female officer who led the team was stunned. She had seen Shangguan Qing's toughness before, so she thought she would encounter resistance, but she saw a sick cat lying on the bed.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Qing hurried over, touched Shang Guanqing's forehead, put her hands in the quilt to feel the coldness, and hurriedly shouted: "Call the doctor, the girl is sick."

It was a mess outside the house, people were doing everything in panic, half of them ran to the small kitchen, some went to the pharmacy, some were at a loss, and there were petty thefts.

"Shangguan Qing." The female officer let go of her heart, seeing Shangguan Qing's weak attitude was even more rude.

"I'm waiting to investigate the case, where were you last night?"

Zhu Qing said angrily: "Young lady is so sick, where else can I go, hurry up and go out, we need to change clothes for the young lady."

"It's not your turn to teach me here." The leading female officer pressed the mechanism on the waist knife, and the blade came out an inch, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Zhu Qinghu refused to give an inch in front of Shangguan Qing, but it was Liu Liuniang who rushed over from behind to stop the dispute between the two sides.

"Detainee Dong, you have also seen that the Lord of Bao'an County is in poor health. I don't know what you are ordered to investigate. At least you have to save some face for the Lord of Bao'an County and the court, so we can see each other in the future."

Liu Liuniang was talking about Shangguan Qing's title, Dong Jujiao snorted coldly, and said impatiently: "Hurry up." She led the people back to the door, and looked at Liu Liuniang, Zhuqing, Nianci and others who were doing nothing. Shangguan Qing changed her clothes, changed the wet quilt, and moved her to the reclining chair.

An Lu brought over the soup, and served Shangguan Qing to drink it in small sips.

The decoction added borneol and Shangguan Qing's secret Yinqiao Dan.In Yinqiao Dan, Shangguanqing replaced the honeysuckle, forsythia and other medicinal materials in the formula with similar medicinal materials here, and the finished product has excellent curative effect.

Shangguan Qing drank the medicine and some hot water, her complexion looked much better, but she was still very weak.

At this time, the impatient Dong Jianbao came over and looked at the weak Shangguan Qing with an extremely disgusted expression.

Shangguan Qing also saw the other person's face clearly, Juan Dong was the female assassin hiding beside the eldest princess, one of the people who killed Zhou Ruoshui with Zhou Ruoyun ten years ago.

Qian Qing didn't make a sound, the hatred in her memory didn't affect Shangguan Qing this time, maybe she was too weak to feel it.

"Dong Fangfang, the lower official, has seen the promotion of the upper official."

"Juyu Dong is the detainee officer of Luantai Division Feng Daowei, who specializes in cases involving Luantai Division." Liu Liuniang introduced from the side, and Shangguan Qing didn't know the address of the other party.

At this time, someone reported that the carriage of Shangguan's family had arrived, and the young master Shangguan Shuchen personally came to pick Shangguan Qing home for a short stay, and sent Shangguan Xiao to marry with his family.

"The young master heard that the girl is ill, so he wants to come in and take a look." Nian Ci's voice was not low.

Shangguan Qing waved her hand weakly and said, "Let elder brother wait, and ask Jujian Dong to settle the matter, and I'll see elder brother again."

"No." Nian Ci withdrew, Shangguan Qing said again: "I'm sorry to trouble you to wait in custody for a long time."

"I don't dare." Dong Fangfang took the lead and asked: "Your Majesty asked me to ask, where did you go last night? Where did you stay, can someone confirm it."

"It should be that no one has confirmed it. I am not feeling well and no one stayed to serve me. Look at me, I should have stayed at home all the time."

"What do you mean should be? Is it too perfunctory to answer His Majesty's question?" Dong Fangfang held on to a point, staring at Shangguan Xiao with a pair of eagle-like eyes, trying to see from Shangguan Qing's subtle movements. clues.

Shangguan Qing felt a little dizzy again, and said: "Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, I feel sick and dizzy, I really can't remember what happened last night."

"That is to say, there is no evidence to prove that you were not present." Dong Fangfang pressed her every step of the way.

Zhu Qing, who was at the side, said: "Juyu Dong, please speak carefully, you want to abuse our girl before you say what happened, isn't it too much?"

Liu Liuniang also said: "I'd like to ask Jujian Dong to clarify what he said. The Lord Bao'an County is ill and some things are not clear. It is difficult for us slaves to explain to the higher authorities."

She mentioned Shangguan Qing's title again, and hinted that she would report the truth to the emperor.

Dong Fangfang said coldly: "The eldest princess was assassinated at home last night and died."

The news stunned everyone present.

Who is the eldest princess? That is the emperor's elder sister, the most powerful woman in the Great Chu Kingdom other than the empress dowager.

Such a person actually died.

Shangguan Xiao asked Zhu Qing to help her do it, and asked suspiciously: "What you said is true?"

"You don't need to ask questions knowingly, let me ask you, where were you when the eldest princess was assassinated last night?" Dong Fangfang stared closely at Shangguan Xiao.

Without waiting for Shangguan Qing to speak, Zhu Qing stopped Shangguan Qing and said, "Is there any need to ask? Miss is so seriously ill, of course she was at home last night."

"Get out of the way, I didn't ask you."

"Zhu Qing." Shangguan Qing stopped Zhu Qing and asked Dong Fangfang, "What if I don't have anyone to testify for Dong's detention? What if I have someone to testify?"

"Regardless of whether there is a certificate or not, Shangguan Tiju will come with me to the Luantai Si Yamen."
