royal princess

Chapter 135 Murderer 2
No wonder Xiao Qi was so angry when he came back at night, but Zhang Concubine popped out suddenly, someone who had no grievances with him, how could she want her own life?If Concubine Zhang is a favored concubine, that's fine. It's reasonable to fight for favor, but she has never been favored, so what motive does she have?

Si Jin never knew that a person who had no grievances would kill a person. Suddenly, her whole body shuddered, and she pressed tightly against Xiao Qi's chest, absorbing his warmth, but her hands and feet were cold.

"Did Concubine Zhang not explain?" Si Jin's voice became colder and colder in the night.

When the curtains were closed up, it was like a small world. Hearing this, Xiao Qi looked down at Si Jin, only to see that her complexion was pale and her red lips had faded a bit.

"I'll let her speak up. No matter how tough a person is, they won't be able to withstand the torture tools of the inner court."

Suddenly, Si Jin didn't know what to say, she nestled silently on Xiao Qi's chest.She is not the kind of timid person, but this result shocked her so much that she was really frightened.She has almost no contact with Zhang Bin, and she has never said a word. Why did she do this?
"Xiao Qi, I'm afraid..."

"With me, don't be afraid."

Si Jin agreed that she was very strong, and she was too weak to cry, but at this moment her eyes were really red.

I don't know when I fell asleep, I just remember that Xiao Qi kept talking in her ear, and slowly, slowly she fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Xiao Qi had already gone to court, and Si Jin was lying on the bed and didn't want to move.My mind is full of what Xiao Qi said last night, why did Concubine Zhang kill her?
After much deliberation, I only felt that my brain was in severe pain, and I couldn't think of a reason why, and I woke up after staying in bed for half an hour.Change clothes and freshen up, and let Yunshang and the others dress her up in the mechanical version.

Everyone could see that there was something wrong with the master's expression, Yun Shang was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why don't you invite an imperial doctor to take a look?"

Hearing this, Si Jin withdrew from her own world, looked at Yun Shang's worried face, blinked and said, "I'm absorbed in thinking about something, and I haven't come back to it for a while." After saying this, she sucked In a low tone, he asked again: "Yunshang, is there any news about Dou Fangyi and Zhang Concubine?"

Yun Chang saw that the master had returned to normal. Although his face was still a little pale, there was a lot of movement in the room yesterday, and the master must have been exhausted.Not only happy that the master is favored, but also some can't help but complain that the emperor doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.He didn't dare to say this, so he opened his mouth and replied: "I heard that Concubine Zhang was sent to the Secretary of the Inner Court last night, and Dou Fangyi had a fever and fell ill the night she fell into the water."

Si Jin nodded, and took a look at Yunshang, "You can go to Dou Fangyi's place later and send some supplements." Dou Fangyi didn't tell the truth before, she didn't blame her, she had to survive in this palace, She also just wanted to protect herself.What's more, she remembered very clearly at that time, besides Qi Ronghua pushed her, someone pushed her at that time, and she knew it was Dou Fangyi.If Dou Fangyi hadn't abducted her later, she might have been hurt even worse.Thanks to her slap, she shrank her neck, and she saved her life by such a slight difference.

I didn't mention it at the time because Dou Fangyi didn't mention a word. Before she knew what she meant, she didn't want to mess with her position. She wanted to wait and see what happened.Unexpectedly, Dou Fangyi still showed her feet and was almost wiped out by Zhang Concubine when she discovered her whereabouts.

However, Concubine Zhang is not a fool, if she pushes people into the water in broad daylight, can people come and go succeed?
This is clearly... a tempo that is trying to cover up.

Si Jin was extremely irritable and couldn't figure out anything, but she knew one thing, that Concubine Zhang might be a scapegoat.Why didn't Concubine Zhang jump out when Wang Ying tried the case before? Why did Concubine Zhang take the risk when Gan Kuo was replaced?Gan Kuo must have found something. The people behind the scenes knew something bad was going to happen, so they pushed Concubine Zhang to take the blame.

But, why is Zhang Bin happy?

If she has any grievances with Mrs. Zhang, then that's all.There is no enmity between the two, she wants to kill herself, what a joke.Especially Zhang Bin's temperament is low-key and gentle, which is not like it no matter how you look at it.

When Si Jin hadn't figured it out, and only had this inference, Chen De'an came in with a pale face, "Master, Concubine Zhang committed suicide by biting her tongue in the inner court."

When Xiao Qi came, he was full of evil spirits, as if he had been rolled in ink.Si Jin herself was also in a bad mood, but seeing Xiao Qi like this made her feel distressed, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down, knowing why he was angry, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

Concentrate on yourself, sit down next to him, and take his hand, which should be in your own palm anyway.Her hands were so small that they couldn't cover his big hands at all. Xiao Qi held Si Jin's hand with his back, and said bitterly, "I'm afraid I will break my promise to you."

"It's okay." Si Jin pretended to be brisk and said, looking at Xiao Qi and said word by word: "Actually, you sent her to the inner court to be imprisoned because you were afraid of something unexpected happening to Concubine Zhang. It's just that people want to seek death with all their heart. , no one can hold her back. When she closed her mouth, her tongue would be broken, and we couldn't guard against her if she was determined to die. "

"Concubine Zhang insisted that she was jealous of you, so she secretly killed you. I knew there must be something tricky here, so I asked Gan Kuo to continue the interrogation. She is a tough one. She endured the torture once, and she gritted her teeth and decided it was her. I wanted to murder you, so I finally bit my tongue and killed myself." Xiao Qi said slowly, and then looked at Si Jin, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Si Jin understood, why didn't she understand.If Zhang Cong died as soon as she entered, Xiao Qi would definitely think that she was a scapegoat.So she resisted one side of the torture device, insisting that she did it, just to convince people that it was her who did it.Although that concubine Zhang is not favored, she is also a precious daughter who grew up in the palm of the family. Such a person with delicate skin and tender flesh who has never suffered, can survive the torture tools. What does this mean?
This shows that the person behind Zhang Bin has enough confidence to make Zhang Bin insist on doing this, and she is not afraid that she will not dare to do it.

It shows that the power to control Zhang Bin is more powerful than she and Xiao Qi imagined.

Xiao Qi wouldn't be so angry when a concubine Zhang died. What he was angry about was that he couldn't find out that the person behind the manipulation was so capable.

It's like hanging a knife over your head, you don't know when it will fall.

"Then what are you going to do with this matter?" Si Jin knew that Xiao Qi would definitely not let it go, and would definitely have another trick.

Sure enough, Xiao Qi sneered, "The people behind it, don't they just want me to believe that Concubine Zhang did it? Then I will do what they wish!"

"Are you going to put a long line to catch big fish?"

"Other than that, what else can we do? Only by confusing them and letting go of their vigilance can Gan Kuo continue to investigate." Xiao Qi pressed his forehead with a tired look on his face. Staring secretly, if it involves you at this time, it is inevitable that someone will be accused of retaliation, and your brother should not intervene. I intend to let Qin Yuchuan take over this matter secretly, and investigate down the Zhang family, not to let anyone go !"

As soon as Si Jin heard Qin Yuchuan's name, she felt a little bad. It's not good to let the original owner's bamboo horse do this, right?
"The new champion has no experience in investigating cases, can he do it?" Si Jin wanted to persuade Xiao Qi to choose someone else, but this was really not a good choice.

Xiao Qi didn't think of going anywhere else, but thought that Si Jin was really worried about Qin Yuchuan's inexperience, so he said: "Qin Yuchuan is a new face, and he works in the Ministry of Punishment, so it is most appropriate for him to investigate secretly. Others would never think that I would dare to use him to investigate this matter."

It suddenly dawned on Si Jin that a young boy who had just passed the exam had no contacts in court, and no experience in investigating cases. No one would have thought that Xiao Qi would let him do this.It really is very cunning, this trick can be described as excellent.

She couldn't think of a reason to object, she only hoped that Qin Yuchuan was a smart person, and would never miss Xiao Qi's whereabouts.

What kind of childhood sweetheart is really the most annoying!
With such a ticking time bomb on her head, Si Jin forgot about Concubine Zhang.

The room fell silent for a while, and Si Jin didn't know what to say.I always feel that the childhood sweetheart matter is a bit too deceitful. Will she take the initiative to explain it or wait for the case to happen?

Doesn't it seem that you are too guilty if you take the initiative to confess?It was the original owner who had a relationship with the bamboo horse, but she didn't feel anything about this Qin Yuchuan.It's not easy to wait for the crime to happen, but explaining it is also a labor-intensive task. What if Xiao Qi doesn't listen?
Si Jinchou died.

After much deliberation, it is not wise at all to take the initiative to bring up this matter.The style of the ancients was absolutely conservative, no matter how conservative, Si Jin dared not take the risk.Not to mention the current environment, even in the original time and space, there is still a standard for the relationship between men and women. There are some things that cannot be said, some things cannot be done, and some things that you are so depressed that you want to hit the wall have to be dealt with with a smile on your face.The charming girl held in the palm of her parents in the city accidentally meets her true love, Phoenix Man, and she has to lower her figure and smile, and go to the relatives of her seventh aunt and eighth aunt in her hometown in the countryside.

Husband cheated in marriage, you have to swallow this wretch if you don’t want to get a divorce, and if someone tells you that the prodigal son will turn back, you will have to live on.It is said that in ancient times, even if it was the original, I was spending time and drinking outside, and I don’t know how many girlfriends I had, but when I married a wife later, I still hoped that I would marry a good woman.

These things made countless turns in Si Jin's mind, and when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them abruptly.Although she and Xiao Qi have some feelings, but this relationship is not as stable as a child, and there is no life and death parting that is unforgettable. Although the two of them have been together for almost two years, they really have a good relationship. , and only a few days.

How should I say my childhood sweetheart?
