219 Chapter 219, life for life

Xiao Qiyu's expression changed in shock, but he didn't run out immediately, because he knew that Yun Jiang's physique was different from ordinary people, if the poison was really fatal to her, she had discovered it now, but she didn't respond, which showed that the problem was not serious. big.

Right now, he couldn't lose his sense of control, and immediately squinted his eyes and calmly reminded: "But the person who is poisoned now is Concubine De..."

"What's the matter with me?"

She asked with a sneer.

"You were taken advantage of."

Xiao Qiyu is afraid when he thinks about it, that person knows too much about the open and secret struggles in the harem.

Concubine Xian was startled for a moment, thought for a while, and then smiled slyly: "If you are used, you can be used, I don't care. Anyway, my goal is only Mu Yunjiang.

"Do you really want to expose me?
"Let me remind you, as long as my affair with you is exposed, then, Xiao Qiyu, the emperor will only hate you even more... If you want to care about your future, you can only stand in the same boat as me."

When she said this, she was so triumphant, her eyes were full of provocation.

Xiao Qiyu felt chills all over her body when she heard it. It turned out that she had such a terrible idea, thinking that he would disregard his wife's life and death in order to protect herself, so as to ensure that she would also escape the catastrophe.

"There is one thing, you have to make it clear: Concubine De is the head of the four concubines in the harem. If Concubine De is murdered, Concubine De has a prince. According to the laws of Great Liang, the murderer will be punished by the nine clans.

"I am the prince, and my princess is being used by you.

"As for my so-called personal relationship with you, it was never a personal relationship.

"Now, you have killed Concubine De with the help of my concubine. If I were desperate and exposed all of this in front of my father, I would not die, at most I would have no future; you are different, your big family They will all lose their lives... To punish the Nine Clans, that's just a matter of father and emperor's thought..."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian's complexion instantly turned pale.

If this is the case, her mother and younger siblings will also be included in it - they are now the only thing she wants to live in this world.

"I don't believe that you will even disregard your own future for her..."

It seemed that she was so determined in her heart that she dared to do this.

"Why, do you really want to try?"

Xiao Qiyu smiled coldly: "You should know that once I make up my mind to do something, I will do it to the end without hesitation. Just like back then, I could leave the protection of my grandma and go to the border to accept various life experiences. the same……

Hearing this, Concubine Xian's body couldn't help trembling, and she suddenly felt fear in her heart.

For this reason, she stared fiercely at the man she had liked for so many years.

Once, she admired him so much, she thought of him in everything, and even died for him.

She used to think that he liked her, so when she was sick at the border, he would personally send her back; when she was bullied, he stood up for her and sent her back to the Empress Dowager; He also gave her presents...

As a result, because of his refusal, her life went to another desperate situation that she hated.

Now, he tried to drive her to death again.

Why is this man so cruel, ruthless, and terrifying...

Why did his heart change when he still had that handsome face?
She looked at him sadly like this, and bit her lips viciously: "I don't believe it, you are willing to give up your determination to clean up your master's grievances..."

She knew that it was his long-cherished wish.

"As long as I don't die, there will always be a chance to clear my grievances. As for you, you will kill the whole clan... Do you think who will pay the greater price in this matter..."

He reminded so.

She stared at him with a chill on her back, and his eyes were full of determination, which showed that he was not joking, but now that the situation has evolved to the present state, how will she end up?

So, she cried pitifully at the cold-faced empress dowager: "Ancestor, Yuqing is wrong, please save Yuqing... Yuqing just doesn't want Mu Yunjiang to have a good life , I never thought of harming the Concubine De..."

The empress dowager let out a long sigh when she heard that, although she knew what happened back then and she was wronged, but what she did now was really disappointing.

"What kind of poison did you give the Mu family?"

"Actually, I don't really know... Xie Xiaoman got the stuff on that dress. She said that the poison could make Mu Yunjiang die strangely... But why Mu Yunjiang is fine, but Concubine De has an accident? thing, I really don't know."

She also felt very strange about this.

The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Qiyu: "Hurry up, Yu'er, and quietly arrest that Xie Xiaoman, be careful that she will be poisoned to death..."

Xiao Qiyu hurriedly went, A-Jiang mentioned that Xie Xiaoman disappeared when she was changing clothes, it is very likely that he has already run away, or died...

In the Hui'an Palace here, the Empress Dowager looked coldly at Concubine Xian, and she did such a foolish thing. If she really wanted to make a fuss, it would harm her great-grandson...

Alas, this is really a muddled account!
"The empress dowager save me!"

Concubine Xian screamed mournfully there.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her brain ached, she asked Aunt An to hold her down, and after a while, when the pain dissipated slightly, she glanced at the poor child on the ground:

"If you still want to live and want your people to live, then you can't make mistakes again..."

"Yes."

"Kneel down, let's see if Yu'er can bring Xie Xiaoman back. If the poison on Concubine De can be cured. Or the Ai family can be cheeky to ask the emperor for favors and let you go out of the palace. If this is the case I can't be kind, your family members are afraid that they will be buried with you..."

These words scared her out of her wits:
Alas, how did things evolve to such a state?

Xiao Qiyu didn't find Xie Xiaoman, the guard guarding the palace gate said: "The maidservant of Qingliang Palace just took the token and left the palace..."

That is to say, run away.

After leaving the palace, the sky is as high as the sky, and if you want to chase after another little girl who may have changed her outfit and face, it is simply a dream.

Standing at the gate of the palace, Xiao Qiyu looked at the noon sun that was gradually going west, the high palace wall, and the densely packed guards patrolling under the palace wall, his heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of anxiety.

He had no choice but to have someone draw Xie Xiaoman's portrait first, and ask someone to go to the city gate to inquire, but this kind of investigation, the rate of discovery is extremely small.

Returning to Huining Palace, he saw Concubine Xian kneeling on the dining table. The Empress Dowager was no longer there, and Aunt An was guarding her. When he saw her, Fu Lefu said:
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has gone to take a lunch break. What to do with Concubine Xian is up to you."

Concubine Xian knelt there, looked at him sadly, bit her lip, and asked, "Did you not find it?"

"I left the palace, and I took your token. Let me ask you, where did you find this person?"

In the past, she didn't have such a number one person around her.

"It was assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She is a clever girl. I think she is very considerate and considerate in serving people, so I always keep it by my side. She has always thought of everything for me..."

It's just that I didn't expect that this person would dare to hide evil intentions.

"Using that skirt to murder my princess, was it all her idea?"

he asked with a sullen face.

"When the news of your marriage spread, I was depressed all the time, so she gave me an idea to put poison on my skirt, and it would take a few days for the poison to be released, so that I could completely avoid the suspicion that I was the murderer I really don't know, but her goal is Concubine De..."

Concubine Xian crawled over little by little: "Although I know Concubine De harmed me, I know that she is also a victim, and the Emperor asked her to do this. I don't blame her.

"I once thought about putting medicine in the emperor's tea, but the emperor doesn't come to my palace at all, and he doesn't touch the food offered by others. Besides, if I do this, the prince will benefit in the end. If the prince If you gain power, you are dead.

"Although I hate you, I don't want anything to happen to you. Besides, if the crown prince gains power, I won't have any good fruit to eat..."

Hmph, on this point, she is quite clear...

"Who is this person close to?"

To be able to hide drugs in the palace, there must be accomplices.

"She has been guarding the Qingliang Palace, and she hardly goes out. Apart from serving me, she doesn't talk to other maidservants. Oh, by the way, she will ask to go out of the palace once every three months, and her parents' tablets will be put on hold." In Tenryuji Temple. She also has an elder brother who sells incense near Tenryuji Temple..."

Concubine Xian provided some new clues.

Xiao Qiyu turned around and ran out.

Concubine Xian looked at his vigorous figure and ran away, feeling so sore in her heart, she liked him so much, but he dismissed him, and now she was so desperate to save another woman.

It was really unfair for God to treat her.

Why did that woman get his heart, why?

She fell to the ground and wept. In her previous life, what evil did she do? In this life, she has to live so hard.

Xiao Qiyu went to see Shen Xingnan first.

Shen Xingnan was also looking for him.

After the two met, Shen Xingnan talked about what happened on his side, "I asked someone to investigate, and Aunt She and her uncle disappeared. Their pharmacy was also empty... Only one pharmacy was caught. The person who knows Meihua, said that she can buy Meihua... I will go and watch it myself..."

Xiao Qiyu also told him what he was investigating, "Then I'll go and investigate Xie Xiaoman's brother..."

After parting, the two were busy with their own business.

Xiao Qiyu took people to the vicinity of Tianlong Temple and found the incense shop. Surprisingly, Xie Xiaoman's brother Xie Xiaoshi did not run away.

He is a cripple who has been living nearby and sells incense sticks for a living. Anyone who knows him knows that he is an honest man, but the strange thing is, how did such a woman from an ordinary poor family get into the palace?
The selection of maidservants in the Liang Palace is very strict, they must be the daughters of families with both parents, they must be able to read some characters, and they must be good citizens.

This Xie Xiaoshi had fought with and injured others before and was imprisoned, and his parents both died. For such a family, Xie Xiaoman did not conform to the rules of entering the palace.

"You are Xie Xiaoshi?"

Asuo went up and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, are you guys going to buy incense?"

Xie Xiaoshi held the sandalwood and watched cautiously, feeling that these people came from bad intentions.

"Xie Xiaoman is your sister?"

"Yes."

"Did she come to see you today?"

"Today is the day when she leaves the palace every three months. She came to me, gave me some money and left! My lords, did Xiaoman do something wrong in the palace?"

Xie Xiaoman didn't take Xie Xiaoshi with him.

"She poisoned and killed nobles in the palace. Do you know where she went? If you don't arrest her, you, as an elder brother, will be implicated..."

It's not that he's scaring him, it's true.

Xie Xiaoshi was startled, his face turned slightly pale, and then he stammered and continued: "But...according to the laws of Great Liang, as long as it is not a kinship relationship, it should...should not be implicated?
"Although Xie Xiaoman has the same surname as mine, she is not my sister, yes, she is not. My sister died a long time ago, and this girl was saved by me. Later, she managed to enter the palace by herself, so she is in the palace. What I do has nothing to do with me!"

This result made Xiao Qiyu understand the reason why Xie Xiaoman didn't take him away: because they were not related by blood, Xie Xiaoshi was not jointly and severally responsible when she left.

"Since she's not your sister, why did she use your sister's identity?"

Xiao Qiyu asked in a deep voice.

"She was originally called Xie Xiaoman, and later she said that she entered the palace and became a maidservant. I don't know exactly how she entered the palace. My lords, it must be someone from the household department who tampered with it! Anyway, this The acquaintances around me all know that my sister died long ago, and this Xiaoman comes to visit me from time to time because she has the same name and surname as my sister, and she has received my life-saving grace..."

Xie Xiaoshi tried his best to distance himself from Xie Xiaoman.

Xiao Qiyu had someone check it out, and it was indeed the case, and then he came over and asked him: "Does she have other relatives in Tiandu City?"

"It seems that there is one. She often goes to Tianlong Temple to meet an old monk named Wuwei. Or you can go find him..."

Xie Xiaoshi provided a new clue,

Xiao Qiyu went to Tianlong Temple, and then found that Master Wuwei was dead, and was strangled to death in the Zen room. The last person he saw before his death was: Xie Xiaoman.

Xie Xiaoman disappeared without a trace. Judging from the strength with which he killed Wuwei Monk, Xie Xiaoman is a person who is proficient in martial arts...

The clue was cut off again!

Xiao Qiyu felt depressed, feeling as if someone had pinched her throat, and felt a suffocating feeling that she couldn't breathe...

Returning to the palace from Tianlong Temple, he saw Shen Xingnan.

"Meihua has been found. Just now I have asked the imperial doctor and the princess to look at it. The herb is fine, but among the people we sent out, we haven't found the fruit of the year-old grass yet."

And just now, Concubine De, who had been inactive for two hours after acupuncture, started crying and howling, screaming for pain all the time. If this continues, Concubine De might not be able to survive midnight.

Xiao Qiyu was very anxious, and was about to go all out, confess Concubine Xian, at worst he would be disgusted by his father, and he would be sent to the border from now on, never to be reused.But Yun Jiang must return to her safely...

At this moment, Xiao Qinghuan and the eighth prince Xiao Qizhe ran into his sight: "Daddy, you finally came to pick up Huanhuan, Huanhuan misses you so much..."

Straight into his arms.

The Eighth Prince Xiao Qizhe scratched his head, saluted with a smile, and said politely: "Hello, Brother Three, Brother Three, someone left me a letter just now...for you to personally open..."

Xiao Qiyu couldn't care less about talking to Qing Huan, so he opened the letter directly, but saw the following line written on it:

"You are the bastard of that bitch, you are not worthy of a good life in this life. Now, you really want to save your concubine, don't you... Then come on, exchange your life for your concubine's life, dare you? Xie Xiaoman."

So, today's trouble, is someone coming for him?
 See you tomorrow.
