Concubine's true colors

Chapter 765 Questioning the truth
Because of the urgency of the situation, Xiao Jinxuan entered the palace without taking too much time as the carriage galloped wildly.

But when she led Ziying to Yanqing Palace, although the fire in the magnificent main hall was extinguished.

But it was still full of black smoke, with a pungent burnt smell, and the beams of the house collapsed and burned extremely badly.

In fact, this is no wonder, because the fire was not lit by accident, but deliberately set by Xiangping.

Therefore, when she was in the hall, she not only lit all the flammable silk curtains, but also burned all the candles and lamp oil on the table.

So in a short period of time, the fire burned up extremely quickly.

In addition to the palace servants and servants outside, Ji Lingfeng didn't keep any of them, and led the imperial army to strangle them all.

Therefore, it wasn't until the thick smoke billowed from Yanqing Palace that the eunuchs and maidservants at the side of the palace realized that something was wrong and rushed to this side, then they began to search for water to put out the fire.

So when Xiao Jinxuan arrived here, she saw the dilapidated bedroom and the corpses of the palace servants lying on the ground.

She couldn't help feeling lucky in her heart, she was really right in not calling Zhou Xianyu to come, it seems that the fire was indeed not easy to burn.

And this time he fell and knelt outside the main hall of the Yanqing Palace in ruins, crying so much that he couldn't bear to live, he played the role of a filial daughter to the fullest Xiangping, and also noticed Xiao Jinxuan's coming.

Seeing that Zhou Xianyu, the person she was looking forward to to be framed, did not show up, but instead came the person she hated the most in her life.

Under Xiangping's madness, it was difficult to control his increasingly irritable personality, and even stood up and rushed towards Xiao Jinxuan.

"Bitch, why are you here? Don't think that I don't know who you are. Xiao Jinxuan, you came back with a different face, and even set up a poisonous scheme to harm me. I lost my child. You gave me back my child's life, and returned it to me." Brother Mo, the people I care about the most are all dead because of you, I, Xiangping, will not let you go, I will kill you now."

Xiangping is more than ruthless, but not scheming enough. Xiao Jinxuan obviously doesn't know that her identity has been found out by Ji Lingfeng.

But now it's good, Xiao Jinxuan was really surprised when Xiangping called her name directly.

But Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng were thinking about the advantage of hiding in the dark, and now it's gone.

And with Ziying by his side, Xiangping rushed forward with a ferocious face, but was stopped immediately.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, after she was stunned, she quickly returned to normal with a chuckle. With this face, even if Xiangping called her real name, it didn't matter.

Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been resourceful, replied calmly and immediately:

"Princess Xiangping, I think you are overly sad and made a mistake. Although the regent and the Xiao Jinxuan you mentioned were indeed married, they did not get together in the end. My Changde is now the regent princess. Could it be that the princess Because of an accident in the Empress Dowager Chen's palace, I was so excited that I conflated the two of them. Besides, the Empress Dowager is the most important thing now. You have to do it. You are the proud daughter of heaven, don't want to learn how to behave like a shrew."

Xiao Jinxuan's attitude was very clear. She would never reveal her true identity until she was cleared of her wrongdoing in poisoning Zhou Xianrui.

And for this master's past, especially the difficult experience of the other party's amnesia, he knows the real Ziying.

Although she met Xiangping for the first time, she had already hated him to the core. Ziying was originally from the Jianghu, and she had no fear of imperial power and nobles.

Seeing that Xiangping was going to charge forward, she directly pushed the other side and threw it away.

The princess was allowed to fall to the ground with bleeding marks on her hands, but Ziying sneered and continued to dutifully guard Xiao Jinxuan's side.

Xiangping was spoiled and spoiled, never had she been treated like this before, but the wound on her palm was mixed with mud and blood, and the stinging pain caused her to regain a little composure.

When I thought about the main purpose of today, it was to separate the death of Empress Chen from her.

Under Xiangping's guilty conscience and fear, he didn't want to make troubles at this time, and continued to argue with Xiao Jinxuan.

Therefore, after being lifted up silently from the ground, Xiangping looked around eagerly, then asked with a frown:

"Since you said that you are Princess Changde, let me call you that as well. There will be plenty of time to settle the accounts between us. The fire was extinguished just now, and the Imperial Guards have already gone in to have a look. Unfortunately, the empress did not escape the catastrophe and died. In the main hall. Why did Seventh Brother not come for such a big event? Maybe he has a guilty conscience. After all, the servants of Yanqing Palace were slaughtered, and the person who can do it so quietly is the only one who has the ability in my Zhou Dynasty. So how many people."

Xiangping's words were aimed at Zhou Xianyu, but Xiao Jinxuan didn't panic.

Instead, he walked towards the main hall of the ruins, turned his head and said to Xiangping with a smile:

"No matter what you mean, princess, Xianyu only returned to Changping in the capital from last night to not long ago. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate can certainly testify to this. All the servants and maids in Yanqing Palace died, and the empress dowager is also buried in the sea of ​​flames now. You Rather than being suspicious here, let’s wait until you present real evidence to speak. Otherwise, everyone will be suspicious before this, and you, Princess Xiangping, are also wrapped in this.”

Although Xiangping forced himself to be calm at the moment when he killed his biological mother with a killer, he still had a deep taboo against this point in his heart.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan didn't mean anything else, but just said casually, including her in the scope of suspicion.

Ke Xiangping felt guilty, and immediately shouted with extreme emotion like a cat whose tail has been stepped on:

"Princess Changde, what do you mean by that? The empress dowager is my mother. Do you think that my own daughter will harm her? You are full of blood when you say that I have no real evidence. All the palace people who participated in the fire fighting can Testifying for this princess, they saw with their own eyes how anxious I rushed into the fire, but was forced out by the thick smoke and fire. After this princess saved my mother with all his might, you should stop wronging good people here."

Xiao Jinxuan is such a delicate person, before she said the truth casually, but Xiangping's overreacted reaction caused her to "thump" in her heart, thinking that the death of Empress Dowager Chen might really have something to do with her.

Under the protection of Ziying, Xiao Jinxuan struggled to avoid the burnt beams and logs, endured the pungent smoke, and entered the main hall without much verbal disputes.

Then she saw that several imperial guards were covering a crouched corpse with a piece of bright yellow cloth, and were about to carry it outside.

Can be covered with bright yellow silk and satin, the identity of this charred corpse is self-evident, it is undoubtedly the Empress Dowager Chen.

Seeing that this Chen family lived in the harem for most of his life, from a low-level concubine to a good concubine step by step, and then the empress dowager.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a scorched corpse with an indistinguishable appearance and a pungent smell.

For a moment, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart. No matter the glory and wealth, power, fame and wealth, life is like a lamp going out, and nothing can be taken away after all.

Empress Dowager Chen ended up being burnt to a scorched corpse. Even though Xiao Jinxuan hated the other party in her heart and listened to and believed in the suppression of her, she would not care too much about this dead person.

Bowing her head and waving her hand, Xiao Jinxuan motioned for the imperial army to carry him out of the dormitory.

But obviously, it seems that God really has his own will. Empress Chen has just been moved by the imperial army for a long time, and there is nothing unusual.

But when Xiao Jinxuan came in at this moment, when everyone lifted her up again, a white jade button suddenly fell out of the other's scorched hand that looked like chicken feet.

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but look at Empress Chen's body twice, and after seeing him being carried out, she motioned Ziying to pick up the button.

She took it in her hand and looked at it several times, just when she didn't notice anything different, and she was about to walk out of this bedroom, which was in danger at any time, and the beams would continue to collapse.

But he didn't want to be nervous because of guilty conscience, lest Xiao Jinxuan would notice something abnormal in the hall, so Xiangping who also followed in, immediately said impatiently:

"Xiao Jinxuan has no one else in this burnt bedroom. If you still have some courage, you can admit your identity. And the death of the queen mother is a matter for my royal family. Brother Seven should come here immediately no matter what the reason is, otherwise He's just unfilial."

Hearing what Xiangping said behind her, Xiao Jinxuan has always been calm and calm, the other party can't provoke her, let alone make her admit her identity in a gaffe.

So when she turned around, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to ridicule Xiangping, but when she saw clearly that the other party was wearing a palace skirt with princess phoenix pattern, there was a row of white jade buttons on the skirt, and it was obvious that the third button was missing.

The smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't help froze, and a feeling of astonishment and shock in her heart suddenly hit her whole body, causing Xiao Jinxuan to shiver involuntarily.

Because according to Xiangping, she came to Yanqing Palace after the fire, and wanted to rush in to save people several times, but was forced back by the fire waves at the gate of the palace.

That being the case, the buttons on Xiangping's clothes should not have appeared in Chen Hou's scorched palm at all.

Therefore, there is only one reason for this situation, that is, Xiangping appeared in the main hall before the Yanqing Palace was flooded, and when the Empress Dowager Chen was still alive.

And it seems that there was a fierce collision with Chen Hou, which caused the clothes buttons to be torn off.

But the more she thought about it, the colder Xiao Jinxuan's back became.

Because if what she deduced is correct, wouldn't it mean that the death of Empress Dowager Chen and the fire in Yanqing Palace were all caused by Xiangping, who actually killed his biological mother with his own hands.

Slowly raising the button of the clothes in her hand, Xiao Jinxuan at this moment just wanted to find out if Xiangping standing in front of her, this former good sister, really lost the last of her humanity.

"It doesn't matter who I am, Xiangping, but I really want to know why your clothes buttons appeared in the hands of the empress dowager. Her hands were scorched and curled up tightly, so the buttons can only be held in her lifetime. In the palm of your hand, otherwise it would be very difficult to put it in. Did you meet each other before the other party died. And the death of the empress is basically caused by you. I have always wondered why you always Anxiously wanting to show Yu over, but didn't mention Xianchen's younger brother, after all, he is the Queen Mother's biological son. You simply want to blame my husband for your crime of killing your mother, right, Xiangping you Do you dare to be a little vicious?"
