Qingchuan History

Chapter 159

"Your Majesty, my concubine really doesn't know. As for Phoenix Cry, my concubine has a little understanding of medicine and knows that it is the secret medicine of the Bai Kingdom court. If your Majesty wants to doubt it, you should also doubt Mrs. Zhen."

"I thought you were on good terms with Mrs. Zhen. At a time like this, you wouldn't really bite her." He sighed softly, "There's no need to play around. I've been talking to your sister for half an hour, and I'm already tired. What should I say? Yes, she said it all."

Shangguan's composure finally collapsed at this moment, she gritted her teeth, and said reluctantly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what did she say?"

"How did she, as the longest line of Wei State, enter Jidu since she was a child, and hibernate in Qi Palace for more than ten years; how did she get in touch with those Wei people in the city who had also entered Qi State for more than ten years, and how to maintain long-term cooperation with the Cang Dynasty?" Wu's communication; how to use the Four Shu Zhan in July, and how Xiling set up an arrangement this time for you to take action."

Shangguan Concubine was startled for a while, then remained silent for a while, and finally said with a sneer: "She can say it. But, why?" She raised her eyes to Gu Xinglang, "But your majesty has already held the evidence to death, so she is indisputable?"

"Those people are dead soldiers. They all committed suicide the moment they were captured."

"Then how can your majesty be sure that it is us? Just because a few people pretending to be the imperial guards are holding fake imperial orders? Although she asked a craftsman to make the imperial order, it is really going to be leaked, and she is not the only one who has it."

Gu Xinglang unexpectedly regained her senses at this moment, and snorted softly: "You guys look exactly the same as the soldiers of the imperial army. If you are dead and your face is peeled off, no one will recognize you. Chunfeng followed Auntie out of the palace for several times. Years ago, the latter contacted and sent letters under her nose, and she didn't even recognize those faces. Your sister is very capable. It's a pity that such a good chess piece was broken by you for ten years with a single sentence."

Shangguan Concubine is indeed not stupid.But she couldn't understand the words at the moment.

"Since there is no proof of death, and Chunfeng didn't recognize them, your lord, how did you suspect her, and how did you know that she was a Weiren, and even found out?" She paused, as if it was difficult to say, "Her surname is Shangguan .”

"You can ask your sister all these questions, if she is still willing to see you. But I can tell you that there is indeed no evidence for what you asked. But there are countless clues. They are scattered in different time periods, Seemingly unrelated, one day they will all be gathered together, and it will be enough to point the finger in the same direction."

Shangguan concubine thought over these few words over and over again, and looked up at him: "Your Majesty, you actually treat the inference that there is insufficient physical evidence as a fact."

"Evidence can also be forged. But the logic between events cannot be forged."

"Your Majesty has insufficient evidence. With her temperament, she will not spit out easily. The courtiers don't understand."

"With her temperament? You haven't known her for 20 years, but you dare to say this. If you really knew her, you wouldn't tell her that no one in Cangwu's family missed her, and let her stay in Qi Palace for a long time. It's a meticulous job. If you don't tell her these things and treat her like a sister, she won't be disheartened and ruin the Shangguan family's 18-year-old game."

Shangguan concubine was taken aback, and murmured: "What did your majesty say?"

Gu Xinglang sighed: "Do you think that Shangguan Xi was sent away since she was a child, and she has been working hard in a foreign country for so many years, what is supporting her? If you don't think that your parents still miss you at home, you will be able to return to your homeland one day to make up for the first half of your life." Missing, she is a woman, she has no ambitions, no revenge, and no great feelings for family and country. How can she persist until today? She is a servant in Qi Palace, has no relatives and friends, and she hopes for half her life, but to go home That's all."

He looked at Shangguan Concubine, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, and said with emotion: "You broke the thoughts that supported her for 18 years, and made her feel that she was cheated and abandoned, so she has no reason to be so angry. "

"Then according to what your majesty said, she did it on purpose. In the case of Xiling, the target is not Ji Wanling, but me."

Gu Xinglang sighed again: "After all, she is the daughter of the Shangguan family. If the Thirteenth Prince and Mrs. Pei hadn't accidentally discovered the clues, many clues would not be left behind. She didn't want to betray you completely. She created opportunities for both parties, It just depends on who wins."

Shangguan concubine didn't say a word, as if she was greatly stimulated, she said in a daze for a while:
"What Your Majesty said this time is the truth?"

Gu Xinglang raised his eyebrows: "What?"

She seemed to wake up suddenly. She had no composure before, and she raised her voice and cried again: "But she didn't say that! I asked her to stay in Qi Palace that day, and told her that her parents wanted her to stay, so she said So listen, I only said a few words about Shangguan's family being sorry for her, and didn't say she didn't want to at all! If she insists on leaving the palace, who can stop her? If she can't get out this time, she will just follow Chunfeng when she gets married. ? Can I still stop at the gate of the palace?"

"You are really spoiled by Jiao. You let her know that her parents don't expect her to go back. The only place in the world that knows her and knows that she is Shangguan's concubine is no longer waiting for her. She just left the palace. What kind of mood do you want to go back? Killing people, it seems that you have never thought about this issue. To this day, you still don’t understand.”

Everything crumbles from within.He thought again of the summer night in Turning the Lantern Palace a few months ago, Ruan Xueyin said this sentence.Would Shangguan Shuo ever have imagined that such a game of chess that had been played for 20 years was finally ruined by a conversation between his two daughters?

"But I'm all for you! Your Majesty, I brought my father to ask me to come to Qi Palace, and I really came. Seeing you, my concubine can't do those things! Even sending letters and news, I am more and more confident." Guilty! She left, and I have to do all these things. Now it’s just a message, what about in the future? When she came to Jidu, she was only sending messages, what happened?”

Gu Xinglang's heart skipped a beat: "The result?"

Shangguan concubine was stunned: "Jie, in the end, it's not just spreading the news, but also beheading the four sisters of the king and harming Mrs. Yu." She was suddenly shocked, and said in a daze: "So, Xiling's It's not what my father meant, is it?"

"According to her, no."

"Okay, okay." She suddenly smiled brightly, her eyes became sharp: "She is here with me, and there is no slight omission. The dead man, the phoenix weeping, everything is my guarantee, and I will never I might doubt her! But how could I doubt her? Even without these guarantees, I still trust her completely, her surname is Shangguan!"

"If you were the one who was sent away back then, maybe you would understand." Gu Xinglang stood up and stopped looking at her:

"Auntie, the blood may be able to play a role at critical moments, but in a person's life, the reason is in the head and the heart is in the heart. You have hurt the foundation of the long-term love of the blood, but it has been love that has been maintaining these long 18 years, isn't it? Reason. Your father may be well aware of this truth, so he has been coaxing her until now; the game of your Shangguan family has been defeated by you."

He started to leave, but Shangguan concubine grabbed the corner of his clothes backhand: "Then according to what your majesty said, I want her to stay without hurting the foundation of affection. What should I do?"
