The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 52

Song Chen had just changed his clothes and was waiting for Chu Xue in the inner hall, when he saw Yan Ling walking over with a solemn expression, holding the mourning clothes that Chu Xue had just changed in his hand.

"May the emperor be the master!" Yan Ling knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

It is rare to see Yan Ling like this, Song Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yanling raised his head, and shed tears before saying anything, "Your Majesty, just now the Sheng'an Hall was on fire, and the master could have escaped quickly, but the master saw that the little princess in Huai Wang's mansion was also trapped, so he ordered the servants to rescue the princess first, but who would have expected the master to save the princess?" Kindness has not been rewarded well, Mrs. Xia, she, she..."

Yan Ling's voice was choked up, and she was extremely excited, Song Chen's face was gloomy, "Go on."

"Madam Xia actually hid in the palace, blocking the master's way. The master told her to run quickly, but she said that she stayed here to wait for the master, and even poured tung oil on the master. Cut off the master's life, your majesty, Mrs. Xia clearly wants to put the master to death..."

While crying, he held up the filial piety clothes in his hand.

Song Chen's heart was shocked, and Liangxi, who was his attendant, hurriedly took the filial piety clothes, and when he unfolded them, the smoky tung oil smell had pierced his nose. In fact, Song Chen had already noticed the smell just now, but the situation was chaotic, and the beauty was lost and found again. I have no time to think about it in the future, but I only think that the smell is smoked.But at this time, with the bright lights in the hall, the traces of the tung oil spilled were clearly visible.

He didn't respond immediately, but only asked: "Your words are unfounded, how can I believe your one-sided words?"

Yanling had long thought that he would ask this question, so he answered calmly, "Mrs. Xia did these things in front of Princess Wen Pei. The emperor can ask the little princess. If the servant has a half-spoken lie, I am willing to die forever." .”

"Zhen will investigate. You get up first and go back to serve the master." There was no obvious emotion in Song Chen's voice, and Yan Ling retreated under the order to serve Chu Xue.

As soon as he turned his head, he summoned Xing Feng and Shi Yi and ordered them to go to the burning Sheng'an Palace and Huaiwang Mansion respectively.

Knowing that Song Chen had ordered someone to investigate, Chu Xue took a comfortable hot bath.She didn't have evidence before, so she could let it go once, but this time, there are witnesses and material evidence, and it's about her and the child. If the other party harms her like that, she will never soften her heart!

When she came out after bathing, she also cried for a while in Song Chen's arms. Seeing her keep on crying, Song Chen felt very distressed. He knew that she had indeed been greatly wronged this time, so he had no choice but to comfort her: "I I understand, you have been wronged, and I will definitely give you an explanation. Don't cry, there is still a child in your stomach, what should you do if you break your body from crying?"

When the child was mentioned, she cried even worse, but finally she was willing to speak, she choked up and said: "I have no grievances or enmity with her, why is she so cruel, even an unborn child is not spared? I am not afraid of being wronged, but I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the emperor's child, and I am afraid that I will never see the emperor again..."

Song Chen was extremely sad, but he didn't know how to stop her from being sad, so he bowed his head to kiss her tears, letting the saltiness fall into his mouth and heart.

The emperor of Yufu Palace was comforting his beauty. In Prince Huai's Mansion, Shi Yi had already met the family who had just returned to the mansion.

As soon as King Huai's family landed, they saw a person chasing up from behind and recognized Song Chen's personal guard. King Huai didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly led the person to the study to talk.

Shi Yi didn't say anything else, he just said that he wanted to see the little princess according to the imperial decree, and King Huai ordered someone to bring Wen Pei over.

Xiao Wen Pei had just been frightened, and she was a little scared, but fortunately she spoke clearly and had her loving father and king by her side, so she cooperated very well. Huai Wang, let Huai Wang come to ask.

King Huai asked her to confirm Yan Ling's words in a gentle tone, the little princess thought about it, and said: "I saw that sister splashed something on that empress, and the thing she splashed was so smelly, it even spilled on me." Said The little finger pointed to his clothes.

King Huai inspected it carefully, and sure enough, he saw that there were traces of tung oil on the little filial piety clothes that he hadn't had time to change in the future.

Shi Yi was certain in his heart, and before he could say anything else, he heard the little Princess add, "Father, I also saw that sister, and the maid next to her used candles to burn the tent."

King Huai and Shi Yi looked at each other in shock.If the Xia family just poured tung oil on Chu Xue and wanted to put people to death because of jealousy and hatred, it would be reasonable, but if she even caused the fire...then the palace is full of women and children from various prefectures, and it is of great importance at this time , King Huai immediately took Wen Pei with him, and followed Shi Yi into the palace to face the saint.

Chu Xue's emotions had just calmed down for a while, when she heard the news from the palace people outside the palace that King Huai came to ask for an audience, and just as Xing Feng was also returning from the Sheng'an Palace, Song Chen temporarily put down the beauty and returned to the Qinzheng Palace.

Xing Feng found a mutilated pottery pot from the overheated side hall. It was exactly as Yanling said, with traces of tung oil inside, and Wen Pei's words were exactly the same as Yanling's words.

More importantly, Wen Pei saw Suqian ignite the curtain with her own eyes.

The matter has come to this point, Xia Wanyin must not stay anymore, she has the desire to kill just because of jealousy, not to mention the crimes of the next, let alone the lives of the people in the palace, but, this matter is related to the face of the royal family, and the emperor will go to the funeral tomorrow, at this time When it was not the time for chaos, Song Chen dismissed the palace people and said sincerely to King Huai: "I will get rid of that woman, but it is not appropriate to cause chaos at this time. I also hope that elder brother will put the overall situation first and don't spread the word about it."

Song Chen is already the new emperor, and now he is willing to lower his stance to discuss with him like this. Besides, there is no danger tonight. Just now in the fire, Chu Xue even sacrificed himself to protect Wen Pei. King Huai is a sensible person, and he did not know what to do. Talking too much, just bowed and said: "I will let Your Majesty make arrangements."

Song Chen nodded. In this matter, he can trust this elder brother who has always been indifferent.

Hearing that Chu Xue and the others were safe, Concubine Jing finally felt relieved and comforted her newly widowed mother-in-law. Xu Jinhe resigned and returned to her Fengyi Palace in a sedan chair.

The heavy palace door closed, and Xu Jinhe clenched his fists tightly.Could it be that that bitch is really auspicious, that such a fierce fire can still allow her to escape... such an excellent opportunity, just wasted like this!
Just being angry and unwilling, I suddenly heard Qiugui's anxious voice, "Mother, if today's matter fails, Yufu Palace will definitely sue His Majesty, and Ningcuixuan, will it..."

"She dares!"

Xu Jinhe stopped her words sharply, and looked at her coldly, "A lowly singer who wants to kill for favor, what has she to do with me? Bengong is not present today, and her own child is also there. Even if she insists on framing her, Will the emperor believe it?"

"Yes." Qiugui lowered her head.

My master has always been considerate in doing things. For so many years, regardless of success or failure, which time was not clean and tidy, and when did he lead the fire to himself?

It was she who was worrying too much.

Ning Cui Xuan.

Xia Wanyin's heart at this moment cannot be described as flustered.

In any case, she never imagined that Chu Xue and the three could escape. After she and Suqian finished those things and ran out, the door of the palace was sealed by fire. She thought that the woman would die for sure.

But she was in front of Sheng'an Hall just now, and she watched helplessly as someone rescued her, and Song Chen even carried her onto the imperial chariot...

Confused, Xia Wanyin hurriedly grabbed Suqian's clothes and asked, "Do you think she will tell the emperor? She will definitely tell the emperor, right?"

Suqian was already terrified, so she had no choice but to comfort her master by deceiving herself, "Master, even if she tells the emperor, the emperor may not believe her, empty words are useless, and the emperor will not listen to her one-sided words..."

Even though she said so, how could she not be clear in her heart, isn't the tung oil they poured on her body the best proof?Don't say that there is still the little princess, even if no one sees it, the emperor will definitely believe that woman, won't he?Isn't he always towards her?

Miao Rui's eyes lit up, "Master, isn't there still a princess, uh no, empress empress? Let's do things according to her will, she will definitely not ignore us, she will definitely find a way..."

Xia Wanyin lost her mind and sneered.

She suddenly felt that in this strange palace, no one would take care of her, no one could save her.

The master and servant were at a loss, when the sudden communication outside the door was like a thunderbolt that knocked away their last hope.

"The Emperor is here!"

The two servant girls shook their bodies and knelt stiffly to receive him, while Xia Wanyin in front of them was already completely weak.

Song Chen followed Liangxi, Xing Feng and Shi Yi consciously stood guard at the gate of the palace.

He was expressionless and didn't even glance at the woman on the ground.

"Why did you want to kill her?"

He didn't even let her say a word of greeting, and asked coldly.

Xia Wanyin's body trembled, he really came for that woman.

"Say!"

Seeing her silent, he raised his voice again.

"My concubine, my concubine has no intention of harming anyone, no intention of harming Mrs. Xue..." Xia Wanyin wanted to deny it, but the clumsy lie of not telling herself completely leaked the truth.

Seeing the king's ugly face, Liangxi said, "Ma'am, it's time, you should tell the truth, Your Majesty already knows."

"Since the emperor already knows, why bother to ask about my identity..." Xia Wanyin's beautiful face was already distorted by tears and fear.

She knew that there was no way out, and she had completely given up hope.

"Who is in charge?" Song Chen still asked calmly, such a woman is not worthy of his anger.

But his calmness made people feel an unprecedented coercion, as if the god of death had come, making people forget their fear.

No one in the hall dared to speak.

After a long while, Xia Wanyin laughed sadly, "Didn't the Emperor know all about it? Since you know everything, why do you still ask such a question?"

He obviously didn't know that this was Xu Jinhe's idea.

But it's okay if I don't know, although I can't live anymore, but Xu Jinhe is still there, as long as she is here, Chu Xue will not feel better.Since she died because of this woman, she will never let her have a good time.

"There's no one in charge," Xia Wanyin said calmly, "Your Majesty, there's no one in charge. It's because I'm jealous of your doting on her that I want to kill her. I've wanted to kill her a long time ago!"

"Who is the envoy?" Song Chen asked coldly as if he didn't hear her words.

"No one is in charge, no one is in charge!" Xia Wanyin suddenly shouted madly, she frowned and looked at the indifferent man in front of her with tears, "No one is in charge, it is I who want to kill her! Your Majesty, you have never liked me Don't you? Never liked it, did you..."

Song Chen turned around suddenly, ignoring the crying woman at all, leaving only two words when he stepped out of the palace gate.

"Do it."

The guards outside the palace gate bowed their heads, then turned around solemnly, entered the palace, covered the woman's mouth, and exerted a little force with their iron-like arms, and the stunning woman who was once alluring in the city disappeared.

It's just that those beautiful eyes hadn't closed yet, and the moment he fell to the ground, he was still looking at the direction he was leaving.
