Conspiracy

Chapter 244 Female General Luo Qi 【Dan Ying】

"Xiao Xiao, who are the people imprisoned there?"

After correcting Su Zhen's address to him several times to no avail, Xiao Chuhong had no choice but to let her go.

"The general of the enemy country."

"Ah?! From Xiliang?"

"Well, that's right."

"Could it be that the Xiao family army you stayed here was to guard them?" Xiao Chuhong turned to look at her without saying a word, she blinked, "What's wrong? If it's a military secret, don't mention it. I don't drink well, in case I get caught That's the end of the story."

"In addition, there are some criminal officials in the imperial court. Each of them is inseparable from the change of Jialiguan back then."

"Oh, so, what did you find?"

"Behind Prime Minister Zuo, there are other people instigated, but I can't find out the details of the other party."

Su Zhen pursed her lips. She wanted to tell Xiao Chuhong about this matter when she was in the General's Mansion last time, but it was delayed because of the sudden intrusion of Mo Sheng and Li Jiu.

"Eight years ago when the accident happened, it was a troubled time. Even if he was the head of civil servants, he couldn't risk treason and collude with Xiliang for no reason. King Qin's biological mother Yu Guifei, after the death of Marshal Xiao, her father took over. Luo Qi has nearly half of the military power. It's strange to say, they have all the power, why are they staring at you? Just because of the [-] Xiao family troops in your hands?"

"Actually, Ji Mengping likes my aunt."

"What? Your aunt?!"

If she remembers correctly, Xiao Mohan should be the only son of the Xiao family and has no siblings.

"Well, my aunt is my father's adopted sister. Her name is Dan Ying, and she is the only female general in Luo Qi's dynasty. She is proficient in literature and martial arts, and has the demeanor of a king. More than anything. But prosperity must decline, her allure is unparalleled in the world, coupled with the fact that she holds military power, it also attracted the dissatisfaction and fear of many people, including Ji Mengping naturally."

Su Zhen had heard about this person. Danying returned from galloping on the battlefield, but in return was copied and beheaded by the whole family, because a secret letter of collaborating with the enemy and treason fell into the hands of the emperor.

But... she remembered that the evidence for this matter was solid, and Danying did not refute it, and even admitted it in public.

"She didn't cooperate with the enemy, did she?"

"My aunt was supposed to get married to my father, but by accident, my father fell in love with my mother and asked the emperor to marry me. Naturally, my aunt was unwilling, but it couldn't stop my father's great military exploits in exchange for the marriage." Imperial decree. After my parents got married, my aunt was seriously ill. After waking up, she decided to go to the battlefield and forcibly won the honor of Luoqi's first female general.

I remember my aunt said that she wanted to walk all the way her sweetheart walked.

After returning to Beijing, she bought a house next to the General's Mansion, but she never set foot in the General's Mansion, and she refused to meet my father even when he came.Ji Mengping had harbored ill intentions towards his aunt in his early years, and visited the house several times, but was kicked out by his aunt.Not long after that, my father and aunt fought together in Mobei. During this period, that incident happened. "

Xiao Chuhong stopped suddenly, his eyes were sad and sad, "My aunt has been alone all her life, she has no family, and the so-called implicating the nine clans is just her alone. I remember the day she was hanged, my mother took me to the execution ground, I watched my aunt be killed with my own eyes."

His hands hidden under the sleeve robe couldn't help shaking, as if he saw the blood all over the place again, and the bright and bleak smile she gave them before she died, which he will never forget in his life.

Su Zhen's memory also became clear, "I remember that after the death of General Danying, there was a hailstorm for three days and three nights, destroying many houses and even hurting innocent people."

No wonder Xiao Chuhong took her away at the risk of deceiving the emperor. There was another reason for this.

"Ji Mengping harmed my aunt, my father and tens of thousands of people. He can't atone for his crime with ten thousand deaths!"

Xiao Chuhong's eyes burst out with awe-inspiring killing intent. After he quickly hid and regained his composure, he was like a deep lake that could swallow people up at any time.

"Are you saying that he forged the secret letter to the enemy?"

"Who else is there besides him?"

Su Zhen wanted to ask more questions, but saw the guard leading the way stopped, opened the mechanism, and the stone door slowly opened upwards, the sound of 'rumbling' was extremely heavy.

The inside of the stone prison was messy, many people were lying on the straw with serious injuries and dying, some people's chest didn't rise and fall, and they should have lost their breath.The boy in blue who was squatting in the corner immediately stood up excitedly when he heard the movement.

Xiao Chuhong and Su Zhen looked at the familiar face in shock.
"Princess Jingyao? Why are you here?"

Shang Jingyao, who was also disguised as a man, rushed up to see Su Zhen, hugged her and began to cry, "Su Zhen! I'm so scared! You're finally here! If you don't come, they will kill me Already!"

Su Zhen's hand was still being held by Xiao Chuhong, and she glanced at his increasingly ugly face, fearing that he would really kill Shang Jingyao in a moment of upset.

After crying, Shang Jingyao regained her composure, took a step back suddenly, and drew out the sword from her waist to point at Su Zhen.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Shang Jingyao thinking about what to do, "You still want to kill me?"

"Su Zhen, I came to Nanwei Villa just to hear what you said about the death of the dumb slave with my own ears."

Strangely, they arrived at Nanwei Mountain using the teleportation array, even if Shang Jingyao set off after she was kidnapped, she shouldn't have arrived so quickly.

"Princess, the dumb slave was not killed by me. Her wound had already started to fester when I arrived. I remember that a small red snake seemed to emerge from her wound. I lost consciousness after being bitten. When I just woke up, You have brought people to break in. As for breaking into your bedroom at night, it is because... I thought you guys hid Li Jieyu."

Su Zhen's defense was weak and pale, no matter whether Shang Jingyao believed it or not, it was the truth.

"But the imperial doctor said that the bottle of medicinal powder you gave him will only heal the wound in a short period of time, and it will accelerate the festering afterward, and even spread all over the body until there is only a dry bone left!"

Su Zhen was at a loss for words, her smile gradually disappeared, and she finally understood what she did to herself!
"Princess, there is absolutely no such possibility. I prepared the medicinal powder myself, and all the medicinal materials will have no harm to the wound. There must be other reasons for her wound to fester."

"But."

"Princess, think about it carefully. Why did I kill your maid? I only met her twice at the palace banquet and the prince's bedroom. There has never been hatred for no reason in this world. Can you tell me a reason? What's more If I want to kill her, why should I save her that day?
Moreover, we have been very busy with the case of Li Jieyu's disappearance in the past few days.You couldn't find the murderer in the first place, and you will face your father's censure at any time.If I kill another court lady, isn't this digging my own grave? "

Shang Jingyao seemed moved by Su Zhen's words, she put down the sword in her hand, "But...but what happened to her death?"

"Princess, please trust me, I will definitely find out the truth, but please return to the palace immediately."
