Chapter 316 Clearing Suspicion
After a while, not only Qin Shu and Qin Xixi were brought to the bedroom, but also Qin Qixuan was escorted from prison one after another. An Yuesheng and Anyueya also stood behind Concubine An, and even the eldest princess was called over.
Although Qin Xixi had returned to the little grandson's palace from the bedroom not long ago, and then returned to the emperor's bedroom from the little grandson's palace, she was still a little confused, but looking at the emperor's expression after waking up, I'm afraid he heard something from Concubine An again.
[The emperor looked like this, and he called so many people, not even letting the eldest princess go, it seems that he is really angry. ]
Little Xixi was thinking about the current situation in her heart, and Qin Shu was also very sharp. I'm afraid something is going to happen again.
Originally, the eldest princess suppressed the matter by herself, just to help the Qin family delay for a while under the premise that the emperor had not woken up yet. But unexpectedly, the emperor woke up so quickly. Qin Shu couldn't help but pursed her lips and looked at Qin Qixuan who had just been brought in.
Fortunately, Qin Qixuan is in a good condition now. It seems that Helian Shi and Fu Yan have really managed the prison very well, and Qin Qixuan has not suffered any pain.
Qin Xixi, who made the emperor wake up early, lowered her head with a guilty conscience at this time.
[Oh, it seems a little inappropriate to save the emperor at this juncture... But if the emperor is not saved, the emperor may die accidentally! ]
Human life is at stake, and little Xixi did not regret that Beibei bit the emperor, but saved the emperor instead.
The eldest princess didn't seem to notice that something was wrong. When she came to the bedroom and saw that the emperor's hands were no longer bruised, her eyes suddenly brightened and she said to the emperor happily,
"Who cured the bruises on my brother's hands? It seems that my brother's illness doesn't need to be worried about!"
The emperor's face lightened up slightly, but he still looked at the eldest princess sternly.
He knew that the eldest princess had a good relationship with the Qin family. However, at such a critical moment, the Qin family made such a mistake. If the eldest princess still covered it up, the emperor would be somewhat dissatisfied.
The emperor doted on the eldest princess, but he also wanted the eldest princess to be obedient.
"Changle, I already know what happened at the palace gate. Do you know your fault?"
The eldest princess thought to herself that something was wrong, but her expression still showed a bit of doubt.
"Changle doesn't understand what my brother is talking about. If it refers to what happened at the palace gate, I don't think I'm wrong."
The emperor's face changed instantly, and he clenched his fists, but he slapped the dragon chair hard, and everyone in the bedroom shuddered.
"According to Concubine An, you favored the Qin family outside the palace!"
The eldest princess showed a look of sudden enlightenment, but her expression was still very calm, and she spoke to the emperor neither servile nor arrogant.
"If we talk about this, Changle thinks he is not wrong. Is there any evidence to indicate that Qin Qixuan killed the beggar? In addition, even if the crickets were heading towards Qin Xixi, he was just a child. Does your Royal Brother really think that Qin Xixi was the mastermind behind all this?"
"Let's take a step back. Can the death of the beggar prove that he was related to the cricket poison?"
Thinking about it carefully, everyone was just led by the note on the beggar's body. The two who really concluded that this plague was a poison caused by crickets were Lin Qingye and Doctor Sun.
The insects on the beggar can only prove that the mastermind put the insects on the beggar, but it cannot prove that the information brought by the beggar is absolutely correct. On the contrary, it is possible that the mastermind framed him.
If the Qin family is really the mastermind behind all this, would they use such a simple method to expose themselves?
The eldest princess' words are very logical, and even the emperor lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking. An Yuesheng immediately accused him when he saw this.
"The eldest princess must enforce the law impartially! Even if Qin Qixuan did not brutally kill the beggar, he is obviously a trick of the Ministry of Justice. Even if there is no evidence pointing to Qin Qixuan for the beggar's death, his abuse of lynching cannot be let off so easily!" Concubine
An and the two brothers and sisters of the An family have the same interests in this matter. Seeing An Yuesheng's explanation, Concubine An couldn't help but say something strange.
"I think the eldest son of the Qin family probably won the first place in the imperial examination at a young age, and his ambition has become so high." "
It's no wonder that the eldest son of the Qin family is so arrogant and doesn't take ordinary people seriously. After all, the education of the young master Qin is just like this. He just won the crown by chance, so he thought it was his destiny and his ambition is very high."
Concubine An's strange words implied that the Qin family was a merchant family, and the reason why Qin Qixuan was able to get the first place in the imperial examination was just his luck and coincidence.
In her words, she also hinted that Qin Qixuan might have been promoted too quickly step by step, which led to him not taking these ordinary people seriously and killing them at will. If the emperor thinks about it carefully, Qin Qixuan's career may be affected.
Qin Shu's face suddenly changed. Before she could figure out how to solve the problem, she heard the princess speak slowly.
"Speaking of the identity of the beggar, do you know? The reason why everyone said that the beggar was killed by Qin Qixuan is because the beggar appeared at the scene of the Qin family's martial arts competition and gave the Qin family a great insult."
"Qin Qixuan noticed something was wrong that day, so he sent someone to find the beggar and found out the truth. It turned out that the beggar was sent to the royal parade ground."
When the princess first started talking about the beggar, everyone didn't understand what she was going to say, but Concubine An was nervous.
The princess looked at the An family thoughtfully.
"But I found it strange at the time. How could a beggar easily enter this royal parade ground? Although the Qin family was using the royal parade ground that day, if it was so easy for outsiders to sneak into the parade ground, this time it was a beggar, then what about the next time, could it be an assassin? This time it was the Qin family's martial arts competition to recruit a bride, then next time, could it be a palace banquet with the emperor present!"
The princess raised the severity of the matter a little bit, and the faces of the people present changed drastically.
Since the princess mentioned that Qin Qixuan had interrogated the beggar, Qin Qixuan naturally understood the princess's intention at this time. So he cleverly followed her words and continued.
"I did interrogate the beggar. It was a risk for the beggar to be placed in the Royal Parade Ground. Who could control the authority to enter and leave the palace? That's why I used the interrogation method of the Ministry of Justice on the beggar. And there were people from the Ministry of Justice present at the time."
Qin Qixuan's words proved that he did not use lynching, and the hat on his head naturally disappeared. As for the beggar's death... there is no direct evidence to prove that the knife wound was his handiwork.
