After the powerful divorced their wives, they welcome the crematorium

Chapter 56

After finishing her official duties and returning to the mansion, Hu Yan was picked up by the minister of Dali Temple long ago, leaving Xiu'er kneeling outside the gate of Nanyuan.

Shen Mengqi walked over to Xiu'er who was kneeling and said: "I promised third brother, as long as you don't do it, I won't touch you. You don't need to kneel here, go back to the Moon Pavilion and cultivate yourself."

Not only did Xiu'er not leave, but she even crawled forward a few steps. The wound on her body had already opened during the scuffle with Hu Yan, and the blood had stained her skirt red. At first glance, she seemed to be dying soon. .

She said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, I beg you to make the decision for Xiu'er."

"What master?"

Xiu'er stared at Shen Mengqi and said, "I beg Your Royal Highness to avenge Xiu'er! Xiu'er is willing to give you her entire life, as long as you can avenge Xiu'er's mother and younger brother!"

"What is your life worth?" Shen Mengqi looked at Xiu'er and said coldly: "In this world, the emphasis is on equal exchange, and exchanging a small one for a big one is gambling. This princess doesn't like gambling."

Seeing Xiu'er who bowed her head in embarrassment and said nothing, Shen Mengqi couldn't help but say a few more words: "The imperial concubine is the third elder brother's biological mother and the emperor's uncle's concubine. This princess advises you to recognize yourself clearly, and don't shake the tree with a fly." , I wasted the painstaking efforts of the third brother to save you. You are now her abandoned child, as long as you don't have any wrong thoughts, the palace is not bad for you."

A line of tears flowed from Xiu'er's eyes. She smiled wryly and said: "With parents alive, there is still a place to come from in life. With parents gone, there is no way back in life. Xiu'er's home is gone, so what can you be afraid of? "

Xiu'er wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes indiscriminately. She looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "Your Highness, if I have evidence that the imperial concubine is collaborating with the enemy, would you help me bring her down?"

Shen Mengqi was startled, she looked at Xiu'er and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Xiu'er said firmly: "For the third prince to inherit the throne, the imperial concubine wins over the ministers internally and colludes with the Xihuang Kingdom externally. Chen Nian'en, Minister of the Household Department, is her purse."

"The two of them embezzled the national treasury together and transferred the money to Xihuang. This is why the war in Nine Nether Thirteen Counties has lasted for decades. If it weren't for the regent king's mighty power, there would be no soldiers and no generals to fight against Xihuang. Now The Tianyuan Kingdom has already become the territory of the West Desolate Kingdom."

"Even now, Chen Nian'en, Minister of the Household Department, has an unclear relationship with the imperial concubine and Xihuang. I heard that he visited Xihuang Kingdom a few months ago by relying on the Luo family's water transportation and Cheng Yili, Minister of Rites. Shipped to the Western Wilderness."

Shen Mengqi was horrified, she looked at Xiu'er pretending to be calm and said, "Without evidence, do you want to spread rumors about the imperial concubine?"

Xiu'er looked at Shen Mengqi and said: "There are traces of this matter early in the morning. Didn't you notice it, Your Highness? Otherwise, why would you send Nan Chen to the Ministry of Rites to inquire about the news?"

Shen Mengqi's face darkened, "How do you know?"

"Your Highness, when you are playing with the bonfire, the bonfire is also trying to devour you."

Shen Mengqi put her hands on her chest, "So, do you have evidence that the imperial concubine colluded with the enemy?"

Xiu'er shook her head.

"The imperial concubine is extremely cautious, and she will not leave any clues. But I overheard something before. On the fifteenth day of next month, the Minister of Rites will go to Jiuyou Thirteen Counties in person. The name is to visit and investigate, but in fact it is Go and pick up a group of people to take the imperial examination next month."

"People from the Western Wilderness."

Xiu'er nodded.

"The princess knows, you go back to recuperate first."

Xiu'er looked at Shen Mengqi stubbornly and asked, "Your Highness, what about the enmity between my mother and my younger brother?"

"If it's treason and collaborating with the enemy, this princess and the emperor's uncle will never forgive me."

She agreed, and Xiu'er left with peace of mind.The moment she turned around to bid farewell to Shen Mengqi, Xiu'er's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and her whole body exuded a vicious air.

Concubine, Hu Yan, Minister of Dali Temple, I will get back the life you owe me sooner or later, don't even try to run away!
After Hu Yan was driven away, Xiu'er has been recuperating in Lanyue Pavilion for a while, Wang Yanzhi is busy with taking care of the house every day, and Cheng Xingchen is sticking to Nan Chen's back like a little tail .

It was rare for Shen Mengqi, who was not disturbed by others, to enjoy a few days of quiet time. Except for the annoying fact that Lin Jihan had to sleep with her at night, she was very satisfied with everything else.

On this day, Shen Mengqi went to court early with Lin Jihan.After the emperor arrived, Lin Jihan presented the dossier and a broken silver needle.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the assassination case of the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials has been closed. The real culprit is Lu Bucai, one of the ten villains in Jianghu. He has been detained in the prison of Dali Temple. The above is his testimony and the weapon he handed over. .”

The emperor casually picked up the murder weapon and looked at it twice, then rolled his eyes at the testimony and said: "As expected of the Regent, the pillar of our country, this work is reliable, this big case has been completed so quickly, it is very good, it should be rewarded." !"

Hearing this, Lin Jihan smiled and raised an eyebrow at Shen Mengqi, and Shen Mengqi gave him a supercilious look in return.

Seeing the two flirting openly in the hall, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little bit sour. He always felt that the Chinese cabbage he raised was really taken away by a pig this time, and it was really sour.

Just when he was about to remind Lin Jihan and Shen Mengqi, Dali Temple Shaoqing and Dali Temple Qing suddenly stood up at the same time, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Aiqing, please speak."

Cui Zhunshan knelt on the ground and said: "My Majesty, this case is suspicious. The real culprit is not Lu Bucai, he just took the blame. The assassination of the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials still cannot close the case."

As soon as Cui Zhunshan's words came out of his mouth, everyone's hearts froze for a moment. To say that the case was suspicious in front of the regent, wouldn't it be obvious that the regent was covering up the suspect?

The Minister of Dali Temple seemed not to have heard the courtiers' comments, and he also said: "The most important thing is that the silver needles we received from the emperor were three or four cents thicker than silk, but a few days ago the regent sent them This silver needle was taken away. When I took it out again today, it was a silver needle that was about the same thickness as silk. Compared with the silver needle handed in by Lu Bucai, it was half a circle smaller, but it was not the same as killing the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The silver needle is the same thickness."

Hearing this, Shen Mengqi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but squeeze her hands tightly.

At this time, Lin Jihan only heard a chuckle, he looked at Cui Zhunshan and Dali Siqing and said, "So? What do you want to say? Is this king the murderer?"
