A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 270 Shine brilliantly, Gu Shizi returns!
Chapter 270 Shine brilliantly, Gu Shizi returns!

At this time, Qi Huan's heart also had an unprecedented killing intent.

She is too aware of the vicious intentions of Yang Chenglian's family!

If this incident hadn't happened today, and it was such a big deal, relying on the background of the Marquis of Changning and the relationship between Qi Huan and the Duke of Pingguo, it would have almost ruined Yang Qingyun's official career and wiped out his fame. end.

But the other party designed the opportunity for the incident to happen today, and deliberately made a fuss at the palace banquet, in front of all the officials and wives——

This is the one who wants to kill Yang Qingyun in one hit with the most vicious intentions!

So now that the Jedi is fighting back, don't blame her for being aggressive and cruel.

No matter what, Xu Qiu never thought that she appeared in front of everyone as a victim to seek asylum, and the situation suddenly changed suddenly, but she was labeled as a victimizer.

She didn't care about her status at this time, and looked at the emperor and the others in panic, arguing with Qi Huan in a desperate and helpless manner: "Why did Miss Qi say such a thing? The servant just didn't want to bear the injustice and lost her life for nothing. In desperation... I just want to ask His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress to give me justice. As for what you said... I don't understand, I don't know, how can you just go to this slave so viciously in order to protect your relatives? Wait for the dirty water to be poured on the humble people."

She used "humble person" as a signboard, but she wanted to put pressure on Qi Huan by labeling her as unkind and bullying.

After all, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and those of aristocratic families have to worry about word of mouth and face.

"You are a lowly person!" Qi Huan accepted it all.

Everyone present frowned.

But she heard her change the subject, and continued: "But the reason why you are humble is not because of your birth, not because of your status, but because of what you have done today!"

Xu Qiu didn't understand, Qi Huan clearly listed a series of relevant people earlier, and all of those people were more suspicious than her, why the other party only insisted on him now.

She was a little overwhelmed, and her expression became slightly annoyed for a moment: "I have never done it before!"

"What haven't you done?" Qi Huan saw the tricks, and didn't even give the emperor and others a chance to intervene in the process, and his words became more sharp and aggressive.

Both she and Xu Qiu were kneeling on the ground, their eyes were facing each other at this time, and they asked coldly: "Did you never have bad intentions, and waited for an opportunity to provoke troubles in front of His Majesty and the Empress? Is it that the death of the palace maid Yuxiu really has nothing to do with you? Or Say... you didn't force-feed the miscarriage medicine she took?"

Originally when she questioned whether Yuxiu's death was related to her, Xu Qiu's heart skipped a beat.

Because from the moment she showed up, she clarified as a wronged person, so, according to the normal thinking of ordinary people, they would have preconceived beliefs in her.

after all--

If she is really a murderer and the emperor is not someone else, how dare she commit a crime against the wind, and even shout for the thief to come to the emperor to complain?

But this Miss Qi is right in her words, and the old matter is brought up again.

But without waiting for her to respond, the other party immediately threw out another question, which was more like a thunderclap, hitting her forehead directly.

Xu Qiuzheng couldn't react.

Concubine Sheng Xian, who had been silent for a long time, finally caught the loopholes in Qi Huan's words again, and severely criticized: "Ji Tiantian, as the only witness, said that at that time, the night was dark and windy, and there was a distance between them. Dare to pat your chest and assure you, is this palace official trying to save someone or kill someone... Mrs. Qi, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager have repeatedly borne it out for the sake of you being the future bride of the Pingguo Duke's Mansion, and have never judged you harshly. There must be a limit to spiel, this kind of nonsense, it's worth not to say it!"

Qi Wenjing, who has been an official for twenty years, never said so much about his daughter in front of the emperor.

He was also apprehensive, felt that something was wrong, and suffered from not knowing how to stop his daughter...

At this time, I was terrified and frightened, and hurried forward to plead guilty.

But his daughter never gave him a chance to stand up!
When Concubine Sheng Xian spoke, Qi Huan took Xu Qiu aside for the time being.

She withdrew her gaze, changed to a ladylike face with a slight smile, and said to Concubine Sheng Xian calmly and earnestly: "Ms. Xianfei, I know that you and His Highness Ning Wang don't like you very much, but if you want to take advantage of the fire, you must first think about it." Let’s talk about pros and cons. In all fairness, today’s situation is interlocking. It’s obvious that it took a long time and careful preparations to put my cousin to death. The whole situation is arranged in this harem, so you don’t wonder what’s behind the scenes Who is the black hand? Right now, they are standing still, setting up the game, setting up a trap, and watching from the sidelines, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman... You don't even know that she is an enemy or friend to you, just to find a courtier's daughter Unlucky, I can't get along with my courtier's daughter, so I jumped out and used it again and again as a gunman... What are you trying to do?"

Concubine Sheng Xian couldn't stand her being rude to her, even preaching, but she has been engaged in posting so far, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that——

This incident was set up to frame Yang Qingyun.

Among them, the details of the inside story have not yet been clarified, and Qi Huan's judgment on the big line is correct.

As for Yun Zheng's strong words at the beginning, saying that Yang Qingyun bribed Dali Temple and even the Martial Captain of the Imperial Forest Army...

In hindsight, that was nonsense!

If Yang Qingyun really had an affair with a court lady and had a falling out, and he has the ability to bribe so many people to give him false testimony, then in order to prevent the incident from happening, he might as well just bribe the captain of the martial arts school and kill the body cleanly. The pregnant palace lady retrieved her jade pendant...

After all, the jade pendant was not hidden in secret. Eunuch Jia and Madam Xing easily found it by searching the residence of the palace ladies!
Why did he wait for the day of the palace banquet to make such a big fuss and make countless turns to forcefully cover it up?
Even if Concubine Sheng Xian was against Qi Huan again, she was taken aback by her preaching.

Yes--

The one who can make such a big game in the palace must be someone with power in the harem.

She wanted to torment and suppress Qi Huan, but the mastermind behind this incident was unknown, and the whole incident was confusing...

Under such circumstances, if she was so eager to put Qi Huan's cousins ​​to death, the emperor would suspect that she was the real culprit behind the scenes if he was a little suspicious!
What is this picture!
Concubine Sheng Xian was so aggrieved that she was extremely annoyed for a while.

She only held on to the last bit of momentum, stiffened her back and sneered: "I just remind you that if you want to accuse someone else, you have to have a reason, and you can't just talk about it based on speculation."

Qi Wenjing had long been frightened by this scene and was fighting with each other, intending to persuade his daughter to leave——

Anyway, the emperor personally testified that Yang Qingyun's jade pendant had been stolen a long time ago, and Yang Qingyun would not be the court lady's adulterer, and it would be fine if he got away.

However, the emperor seemed to have experienced some kind of pleasure from Qi Huan's indiscriminate attack, seeing that the corners of his lips even had a faint smile, and he sat on the chair with a look that today's matter was not clear, and he Just an unsatisfactory posture.

Queen Gu's mother and son were worried that Qi Huan would be put into a cover, but now...

The mentality is also relaxed as a whole, and it is also a posture of letting it go.

The crown prince Yun Zhan even said very considerately: "This girl has a quick mind, and she analyzes the case rigorously, which is very interesting. You are neither a suspect nor a murderer. What are you doing kneeling? Get up and speak up."

Neither the emperor nor empress Gu said anything.

Concubine Sheng Xian was not happy, but what the prince said was fine...

"Yes!" Qi Huan stood up calmly, and at this moment, his momentum also rose.

"Thank you for your reminder, Concubine Xian." While the emperor still allowed her to speak, Qi Huan raced against the clock.

She first did enough superficial work to gag Concubine Sheng Xian's mouth, and then——

Turn around and look down at Xu Qiu.

Xu Qiu stared at the ground and saw the gorgeous toe of her shoes inlaid with Dongzhu under the hem of her skirt, but she had the illusion that these feet were crushing her heart, and she was almost out of breath.

Qi Huan said: "Just now I didn't hear from Eunuch Jia that there was a paper bag or porcelain bottle of anti-abdominal medicine found on the court lady Yuxiu, but the imperial physician said that the medicine was very effective."

The imperial doctor was still waiting by the side, and said immediately after hearing the words: "Yes, we doctors usually don't use this medicine for pregnant women, because the effect is too bad. After taking it, it will take effect within a few breaths, and after taking it, hemorrhages even The risk of one corpse and two lives is extremely high. Judging from the current situation of the corpse of the palace maid outside, she must have thrown herself into the lake just after taking the medicine, so the corpse is only bleeding heavily, and the fetus has not yet fallen."

Qi Huan said: "Then ask the imperial physician to examine this palace servant to see if there is any anti-abdominal medicine left."

"This..." Naturally, the imperial physician would not just follow her orders and hesitantly went to see the empress.

The emperor and empress hadn't spoken yet, but His Royal Highness was obviously very interested, and nodded his head: "Then investigate, anyway, if today's matter is not investigated, no one will be safe."

"Yes..." The imperial physician agreed.

But before he stepped forward, Xu Qiu seemed to have been humiliated to the extreme, unable to bear it any longer, and suddenly said loudly with tears of grief and indignation on his face: "Miss Qi suspects that there is something that should not be hidden on this slave, and that slave strips herself. It's good to prove your innocence, we lowly people don't dare to bother the imperial physician."

She started to undo the belt in twos and threes.

The prince frowned when he saw this posture——

This is so inappropriate!
But the empress didn't say a word.

He went to see Qi Huan, but Qi Huan still had a calm and calm expression on his face, just watching.

After Xu Qiu took off his coat, no one stopped him, and he began to feel that something was wrong...

But if she wants to prove her innocence and act like a chastity, she has no choice but to abandon her distracting thoughts and continue to take off her skirt, leaving only her shoes and socks and a set of underwear inside.

In the end, she blushed, folded her arms, looked at Qi Huan in humiliation, and asked, "Are Miss Qi satisfied?"

Qi Huan, however, calmed down and raised his eyebrows at her: "And your shoes and socks, take them off together."

The shoes fit perfectly, and there is no way to hide things in the shoes and socks!

Xu Qiu felt that Qi Huan was just bullying and deliberately humiliating her.

even--

Many people present thought so too.

Can--

The emperor and empress don't care.

Xu Qiu glanced around with a red face, and seeing that no one was stopping Qi Huan, he could only bear the endless humiliation again, and took off his shoes and socks: "Missy, are you satisfied now?"

But Qi Huan ignored her, and only said to the embarrassing and blushing imperial physician beside him: "The imperial physician should check, these clothes of hers."

"Uh..." The imperial physician was completely dumbfounded.

The prince's eyes lit up, and after a sudden enlightenment, he blurted out a little excitedly: "Yes! If it is true that she forcibly poured medicine on another court lady, and the other one disputes and resists her, there must be medicine powder or liquid medicine. If it is spilled, it is very likely to get on her clothes, shoes and socks."

As soon as this remark came out, a large group of people were awakened.

But when Xu Qiu heard the words, his face turned pale again, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

even--

She almost snatched up and snatched her clothes.

She thought that Qi Huan said that he didn't find any medicine bags or bottles on Yuxiu's body, so he wanted to search her body to find them, but she really didn't expect that the other party was so meticulous that he wanted to find the remaining medicine residues directly.

The old doctor was also aroused at the moment, eager to try it, and immediately knelt down, picked up her clothes and checked them one by one.

In order not to expose her panic, Xu Qiu could only lower her head and eyes as much as possible so that no one could see her expression.

But those present, if they were sharp-eyed, could already see her guilty conscience from her subtle expressions and movements.

some of--

There was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was greatly interested in this matter.

Taking advantage of the examination by the imperial physician, he even paced behind Qi Huan, impatiently asking for advice: "Miss Qi, forgive me for my poor eyesight, what kind of flaws did this palace lady show in front of her, why do you dare to bet that she gave it to you?" The medicine given by the deceased?"

Concubine Sheng Xian has a saying that is correct——

On this point, what Qi Huan showed was talking nonsense and relying on speculation.

At this moment, Eunuch Jia, who had gone to search the houses of the yamen in the previous dynasty, had returned.

Qi Huan stopped talking for a while.

"Why so fast?" The emperor sat up a little bit, and looked more energetic, and asked Eunuch Jia, "Is there a result?"

Eunuch Jia said the truth: "Since the matter seemed to be aimed at Master Yang Qingyun, the servant took a shortcut and went directly to Master Yang's room in Hanlincha, and took it from his locked drawer. Here it is."

He didn't hide it either, and presented a mandarin duck sachet and a purse with the pattern of rising every step of the way.

The empress did not touch these things.

Eunuch Li went to compare the embroidery items found in Yuxiu's room.

The mandarin duck sachets are a pair, and the color is also the same. It must have a history of several months, and they are often held and played in their hands, so they look a little old.

As for the purse, it can also be directly judged to be Yuxiu's craftsmanship.

Yang Qingyun neither explained nor refuted in fear, as if these things were not found in his house or his drawers.

Qi Huan also had a calm expression on his face.

She just asked Yang Qingyun suddenly: "Cousin, during the banquet before, I heard from Young Master Qin that when you went to change clothes, you ran into your Hanlin Qiu University scholar who was not feeling well. You and a few colleagues accompanied him to wait for the imperial doctor in the nearby palace." , During that period, did anything happen? For example...you are on the order?"

Just what happened tonight, Yang Qingyun said without thinking: "Master Qiu was vomiting and diarrhea, and his stomach was uncomfortable. At that time, in the Yanqing Palace, the palace servants who used to help him clean up the filth accidentally dropped the washbasin and soiled it. I was wearing a robe, so he led me to another room and fetched water for me to wash."

He shook his robe.

It was dark at night, and no one paid much attention to the details of his clothes before, but looking at it now, it turned out that the hem of the robe was completely wet, and it was wrung out hastily, leaving large water stains.

Moreover, his shoes and socks and inner pants also have water stains to varying degrees.

Then Qi Huan looked away, and turned to ask the prince Yun Zhan who was sticking behind her: "Does your highness understand?"

Yun Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then realized belatedly——

Qi Huan was answering the question he was interrupted by Eunuch Jia.

His Royal Highness is a studious and not ashamed to ask His Royal Highness, so he immediately began to think seriously: "If it wasn't for the misfortune of Yang Aiqing's jade pendant loss, which had been reported to Father and Emperor by Master Qi, why would his personal accessories appear at the drowned court lady today? Everyone will firmly believe that he is the court lady's lover. However, he was still alone tonight for some reason, and his whereabouts were unknown for a period of time in the eyes of others, and then... during that time, the pregnant palace lady drowned It's around."

They can find tokens of love given by each other from each other. The maid is pregnant, and after three months, she will slowly show her pregnancy, and then pinch her, "ordered" in Yang Qingyun and "whereabouts are unknown" During that period, the court lady threw herself into a lake after having a forced abortion...

This is a closed-loop crime process of murder and silence.

Yang Qingyun is absolutely indisputable!
Yang's emotions have always been forcibly controlled, and fortunately, Qi Huan had reminded her about the jade pendant before April, otherwise, when the incident happened tonight, she might not be able to bear the stimulation directly.

At this time, she was still stimulated, her face turned gray instantly, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Qi Huan didn't expect that this matter would stimulate her so much, so she immediately panicked, walked back to her, held her hand firmly, supported her and comforted her: "Mom, you are not in good health, please don't worry about it." Getting angry, my cousin was obviously framed by someone, His Majesty and Empress Dowager will restore his innocence and justice."

If she knew that Yang Shi would not be able to bear it, she should have persuaded Yang Shi to leave first.

Qi Huan was secretly annoyed.

Qi Wenjing also panicked, and while helping to support Yang, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my wife has some serious physical illnesses and cannot bear too much stimulation. I implore Your Majesty to allow me to send her back home to recuperate first."

"No need!" At this time, Yang Shi was not willing to go, and quickly took two deep breaths, calmed down a little, and apologized to the emperor and empress: "It's my wife who lost her composure. Your Majesty and Your Majesty forgive me. I am the old lady. No problem, no problem."

Queen Gu said: "Bring a chair over here for Mrs. Shizi to sit on."

Yang's body was really overwhelmed at the moment, so she simply had the cheek to not refuse, and when the palace man moved the chair, she sat down slowly with Qi Wenjing's support.

Yun Zhan waited for her to recover, and couldn't wait to ask Qi Huan: "You still didn't say, why are you so sure that it wasn't Yuxiu who took the medicine by herself, but this Xu Qiu did it."

Qi Huan was worried about Yang's health, so he was already a little absent-minded at the moment, but he still had to patiently explain to him: "It's better to live than to die, that Yuxiu has never thought of committing suicide all these years since she was reduced from an official lady to a maidservant. , it can be seen that she is not a person who is easily overwhelmed. Moreover, even if she is bought by someone and wants to kill her, what can the other party promise her? With her status, she cannot leave the palace and maintain the status quo in the palace. Since it is the best destination, even if she cooperates with the mastermind behind the scenes and sacrifices her life to harm my cousin, if she dies, is it to change her life to change her employer and burn her extra paper money? So I guess, she is probably not in the game .”

Yun Zhan thought it made sense, and nodded while listening.

Xu Qiu was also anxious to know where his flaws were, so he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen attentively.

Qi Huan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, sneered in his heart, and continued: "The other party set up a trap, and must use Yuxiu's death to draw her the crime of having a secret relationship with a human being and messing up the palace, let alone Yuxiu. It is unlikely that she will be bought by them. Even if she is indeed bought, it is a matter of life and death... What if she is temporarily afraid of death and changes her mind? If the opportunity is not lost, then we can only arrange for someone to send her on the road, so as to ensure that she will die. Naturally, the abortion pill must be instilled by the person who sent her on the road, so as to ensure nothing goes wrong."

She looked at Xu Qiu: "You deliberately arranged for Ji Tiantian to see you arguing with the court lady Yuxiu in order to have an excuse to make trouble with Yuqian, right?"

Xu Qiufei quickly looked away, and tightly pressed his lips together.

She thought Qi Huan was trying to extract a confession, but Qi Huan didn't intend to listen to her answer at all, and just said to himself: "In fact, if your employer wasn't so vicious and vicious, he would have called us Qi Huan even more while ruining my cousin. Both the Yang family and the Yang family bear an indelible stigma, and their reputations are ruined. I want you to bring this matter to the imperial court today, at a palace banquet, in front of civil and military officials... If you just drown her in a place where no one is around, and then run away Afterwards, the empress will deal with this incident as palace affairs. In order not to publicize the scandal in the palace, there is a high probability that she will discuss it with your majesty, and privately kidnap my cousin's official position. After he is convicted, he will calm down."

As she spoke, she laughed mockingly and coldly: "Harming others is not counted, but you are also greedy and want to kill them all...Xu Qiu, in fact, you don't need to be exposed, and you don't have to die!"

Death, the word, can easily overwhelm everyone's last psychological defense.

Although Xu Qiu was determined to die, at this moment, hearing this possibility, his heart was moved so hard that he bit his lips to bleed out blood.

However, when things got to this point, she had no choice, and no turning back.

It was at this moment that the imperial physician kneeling on the ground said in trepidation: "Your Majesty, empress, Miss Qi's judgment is correct. The left cuff, skirt, skirt and even the toe of this palace man are all stained to varying degrees. the abortion pill."

This was what Qi Huan had foreseen.

In order to ensure that Yuxiu must die, there must be a murderer who kills her. This murderer is the key figure in this bureau!

after all--

As long as she misses or repents, once Yuxiu fails to die, the scene will not be able to continue.

Xu Qiu had completely lost the ability to think, his eyes were wandering, and he was at a loss.

Qi Huan had a sudden thought, and asked her again: "How did the child in Yuxiu's womb come about? Did someone pretend to be my cousin and seduce her in the name of my cousin? Or was someone directly forced to defile her? Call this child she had?"

Where Yuxiu's child came from has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Even she herself is just a harmful tool that doesn't need to be said a word. As for where her child comes from, or who the biological father is, the people who arrange it won't care too much.

Anyway——

The person who was with her was not Yang Qingyun, and in order to blame Yang Qingyun, they would not arrange for Yuxiu to show up in front of anyone with her child's father.

But whether she was cheated or defiled...

This girl is really an innocent poor person!

A fleeting and fierce light flashed in Xu Qiu's eyes, and in the end he just said forcefully: "I don't know what Miss Qi is talking about, the top of my clothes...then...that's because I saw Yuxiu was taking medicine, and I was worried that she wouldn't think about it. Sprinkle it when you go to snatch it!"

Qi Huan laughed: "If that's the case, you've already said it from the beginning. Don't forget, your original intention to come to Sheng Sheng is to clarify the cause of Yuxiu's death and to clear yourself of the suspicion of murder."

Xu Qiu wanted to say something, but Qi Huan suddenly looked at the two rows of court ladies and eunuchs kneeling on the ground and asked: "And you, who was it that tripped Miss Tang? If you don't stand up, I will ask The Empress has sent you all to the Department of Punishment for torture."

The group of eunuchs and maids were in an uproar, and they looked at each other in private, when someone pointed to one of the young eunuchs and said: "Although the servant didn't see who was tripping someone, but the place where Miss Tang was tripped is at his place, if... ...If someone must have tripped Miss Tang, it must be him!"

The little eunuch who was identified was flustered on the spot, and he didn't even argue for a moment, but hurriedly kowtowed to the ground.

"One, two, three...you can be regarded as a thread, and it's not easy." Then, the prince Yun Zhan started pointing at the little eunuch, and rushed to the steward who came forward to reprimand Miss Tang's family. The eunuch, plus Xu Qiu, "Are you recruiting the person behind the scenes now, or should I send you to the Punishment Department and recruit after torture?"

The three of them turned pale with fright.

The next moment, Xu Qiu suddenly got up with lightning speed and slammed into the shadow wall next to him.

When she bumped, she was determined to die, and her aura was like a mad cow.

Because it happened so suddenly, no one present had time to react.

Seeing that the blood was about to splatter on the spot, he saw a figure flashing out from behind the screen wall, pressing her forehead with one hand, and throwing her to the ground with his backhand.

Captain Wu also reacted quickly at this time, and immediately led someone to rush up: "Quick, press the person down, and control it!"

Qi Huan was still dazed in astonishment when he saw that Gu Zhan was already standing in front of her.

He raised his hand to rub the hair on the back of her head, and said softly, "Did it scare you?"

　His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: If I don’t want to be the Crown Prince, I will go to Dali Temple to be an apprentice to my brother-in-law... Their family is so talented in handling cases, envy!
　　Qi Huan: I'm just good at doing argumentative questions, I can't try the case...

　　Gu Shizi: Daughter-in-law, I'm finally back!
