Chapter 226: Xue Ruoxue who can't be killed
The emperor has heard some things from Su Xiaoxiao. Xue Ruoxue was probably abducted as Su Xiaoxiao said.
However, Shuzhong has a special geographical location, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also a rich place. In recent years, Shuzhong has been more prosperous than the capital. It makes sense that Prince Ruyang has ulterior motives.
Xue Ruoxue is a member of the Ruyang Palace. The emperor is worried about taking Ruyang Palace out like this.
If Xue Ruoxue is held accountable without finding out the truth, it will be difficult to explain to the Ruyang Palace.
This matter cannot be resolved for a while.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I trust Prince Ruyang. But Xue Ruoxue is, after all, a member of Prince Ruyang's Palace. If Prince Xue can explain clearly how Xue Ruoxue learned this evil technique, and why Xue Ruoxue did such a treasonous thing behind the palace's back, it will also help everyone to dispel their suspicions about Prince Ruyang's Palace!"
How could Xue Chenguang explain these things clearly?
He thought carefully about what happened before and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know why Ruoxue would resort to such an evil trick.
Ruoxue has had a weak health since she was a child and has been raised in the palace. Even with such careful care, the doctor still said that she would not live to adulthood.
A year ago, she fell seriously ill and lay in bed for more than a month. We consulted famous doctors in Shuzhong, but they all said that there was no way to save her.
We all thought she was dying, but later, she miraculously recovered. Her previous illness was cured without medicine, and she is full of energy now. Even her temperament is different from before!"
Su Xiaoxiao was trapped in the palace and was bored. She leaned listlessly on the emperor's dragon chair and complained in her heart:
[The real Xue Ruoxue died a long time ago. In order to return to the eldest prince legitimately, Shen Qingyu squeezed Xue Ruoxue's soul out of her body when she was the weakest, and took over the body! ]
Gu Huaiyu was shocked. He had only seen the matter of seizure in the records of strange stories, and he could not imagine that this thing really happened.
But what Xiaoxiao said must be right. If it can be proved that Xue Ruoxue is not Xue Ruoxue, then this matter will not be related to the Ruyang Palace. If this woman is dealt with, the Ruyang Palace will not have any complaints against the royal family. So
he followed Xue Chenguang's words and asked:
"Master Xue, although it is said that she will be a little abnormal after recovering from a serious illness, I wonder how your sister's temperament will change so drastically?"
This is related to the life and death of the Ruyang Palace, and Xue Chenguang can't afford to lose face.
He thought for a moment and said, "My sister has had poor health since she was young. She has never left the palace and she doesn't like to go out.
But this time when I came to the capital, she insisted on coming with me. My family was worried and tried to dissuade her many times, but she would faint as soon as I told her not to come .
There is another strange thing. Before, she was weak and indifferent to the world, but after she recovered from her illness, she became very competitive and insisted that I help her win the top prize. For this, she did a lot of wrong things."
Xu Mo became interested: "What are the wrong things that Master Xue mentioned? "Fingers..."
Xue Chenguang said ashamedly: "I wanted to clarify this matter a long time ago, but when it was mentioned, her sister was angry and even moved to my aunt's house. I was afraid that something would happen to my sister, so I suppressed the matter.
In fact, it was my sister who challenged Kang Lun to a duel, and the poems that won by chance were also obtained by her from somewhere else."
Su Changhe had already heard from Xiaoxiao's inner voice that Xue Chenguang was also kept in the dark by Xue Ruoxue, so he was willing to speak a fair
word He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I know this clearly. It was Xiaoxiao and I who accompanied Brother Kang to the competition. After exchanging a poem, Prince Xue admitted defeat. But Miss Xue suddenly took out a few manuscripts, saying that they were Prince Xue's old works. It was those poems that defeated Brother Kang.
But the strange thing is that Prince Xue has always denied it, saying that the poems were not written by him. Unfortunately, everyone thinks that Prince Xue is deliberately making things mysterious!"
Xue Chenguang looked at Su Changhe gratefully and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it was that time. I asked my sister, Where did the poem come from? Unfortunately, she has never told me. I have also checked in many ways, but I can't find the source of this poem!
Logically speaking, she doesn't know anyone outside, so she shouldn't be able to get such an amazing poem. She and the eldest prince have no intersection, so how did the two of them get connected? "
Su Xiaoxiao was a little impatient when she saw their slow progress: [That was done by a great scholar from another world, so you naturally can't find out. If I tell them that the person living in Xue Ruoxue's body is the Saint of the Demon Clan, will they be scared to death!]
At the moment, Xue Ruoxue is determined to drag the Ruyang Palace to support her, so she will definitely not tell the truth.
Gu Huaiyu said, "Father, why don't you spare the life of the man who pretended to be my eldest brother and find out how he knew Xue Ruoxue!"
The emperor also wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible, so he nodded in agreement.
Gu Huaizhi was beaten to a pulp and bloody mess. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he confessed everything without much effort.
After hearing this, Xue Chenguang couldn't accept this fact at all. His poor sister died in such an unclear way, and that witch did all kinds of bad things in her name.
With Gu Huaizhi's confession and Xue Ruoxue's actions, it was more than enough to convict her.
Because she was the saint of the demon cult, she could replace other people's body parts at will and steal other people's bodies. Ordinary criminal laws could not completely execute her, so the emperor asked Cheng Xingzuo to think of a way to execute Xue Ruoxue.
Cheng Xingzuo studied ancient books for a long time and found a formation. The book said that if Xue Ruoxue was trapped in the formation and burned directly in the alchemy furnace, the demons could be killed.
There was no other way now, so the emperor ordered Cheng Xingzuo to prepare the formation.
Xue Ruoxue, Gu Huaizhi and Lao Kui were first taken to the prison. When they were ready, they were thrown into the alchemy furnace and executed.
Su Xiaoxiao listened to Cheng Xingzuo's method and thought it was feasible, so she didn't say anything. She had been busy all day and was very sleepy. Before the end, she fell asleep on the dragon chair.
Although Xue Chenguang was reluctant to see his sister's body burned, there was no other way. It was a blessing in disguise that the emperor was not angry with the Prince of Ruyang.
He just wanted to go back and comfort his family.
However, Prince of Ruyang was worried about his granddaughter and had arranged for someone to deliver the news home.
As early as after hearing that Xue Ruoxue was burned, they came to the capital.
The prince was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned, so Prince of Ruyang wrote a memorial early. Now he was halfway there, and the memorial had already arrived in the capital.
The memorial said that Prince of Ruyang missed his granddaughter and had to go to the capital. It was written that he only brought more than ten followers. After arriving in the capital, he picked up his granddaughter and went back, asking the emperor to forgive his crime of disrespect.
The emperor just felt a headache. The memorial from Prince Ruyang had arrived. Killing Xue Ruoxue now would only give people something to blame.
