Chapter 439 A Group of Mad Dogs Biting
The guards did not believe it completely. Even if the two men had done something shameful, they would not be so bold as to do such a thing in the main hall.
Two young monks ran over, but because the matter was urgent they didn't notice what was happening inside and just started talking as they stood at the door.
"Abbot, the fire is out. I checked carefully and found that someone had deliberately set fire to the back of the meditation room by laying wood. The ashes are still there!"
"That's right, Abbot. No one lives in that Zen room, but next to it is the Zen room where the second young lady of the Qiao family is temporarily staying. Fortunately, the second young lady ran out in time. I asked the second young lady to take refuge in the Great Hall for the time being. I wonder if the second young lady has come."
Zi Yuan gasped, "Did someone start the fire on purpose? Someone wanted to burn my young lady to death?!"
Chu Lu's brain was faster than Shen Lingyi's. "Could it be that Abbot Jingxin and the county lady were having an affair, so they deliberately set the fire to attract everyone's attention? Was it Abbot Jingxin or the county lady who set the fire? If it was the county lady who set the fire, that would be too much..."
Qiao Wanyan fell to the ground, tears falling one by one.
He didn't say a word, but it broke people's hearts.
The incident almost resulted in a loss of life, so the guards of Tianshu Camp left without asking Jingxin and returned to the capital.
Such an important matter must be reported to the Emperor.
Now that the Second Prince is the regent, I must return to the capital tonight to report to the Second Prince.
Afterwards, either the Three Judicial Departments intervened or the Second Prince had other arrangements, so there was no mention of the Tianshu Camp.
Also returning to Beijing overnight were Shen Lingyi and his servant.
This matter is of great importance, involving the abbot of the national temple who is revered by everyone and the county lady who was recently conferred an honor by the emperor.
What if the royal family wants to keep the matter quiet and suppress it, then wouldn’t all her hard work be in vain?
I have to go back to Beijing and spread this matter. As long as Qiao Yihuan is wrongly killed, even if she cannot be killed, she can be ruined.
Young Marquis, you will definitely not be willing to like such an unclean woman again.
Jingxin was sent back to her room. Although they were called “sent back”, the guards nowadays did not act as escorts, but more like guards.
There were guards guarding the front and back of the room.
Qiao Yihuan was sent back to her room. There was no doctor in the temple, so the guards had to prepare ice water for Qiao Yihuan to relieve his pain.
Qiao Wanyan was arranged in a safe meditation room. A young monk was afraid that she would be too frightened, so he specially prepared a bowl of calming soup and sent it to her.
Zi Yuan took it, closed the door, put the tranquilizing soup on the table and walked towards the bed.
She squatted by the window and said with a smile: "Miss, this play is really good!"
Qiao Wanyan's eyebrows curved, "I think Qiao Yihuan's expression will be even better after he wakes up."
"Hehe, after tonight, I'm afraid Jingxin will never be able to return to the time when everyone admired him."
Qiao Wanyan said: "The Queen Mother respects Jingxin very much. He is so young that the Queen Mother likes him so much, which shows that he is not a foolish person. On the contrary, he is very smart to have such a reputation at such a young age. But people who are too smart are often too cautious. He stared at me because he was too cautious."
"With the Queen Mother here, perhaps Jingxin will be fine, and this scandal will be suppressed. But if Shen Lingyi returns to Beijing overnight, this matter will surely spread throughout the streets and alleys overnight."
Zi Yuan blinked, "Chen Lingyi has just returned to Beijing, her foundation at home is not stable, and now her family doesn't value her. Does she have such ability?"
Qiao Wanyan pinched her cheek and said, "She has it, because I will help her. But everyone will think it is Shen Lingyi's work, the Shen family's work."
She is best at using public opinion to create momentum.
If it weren't for the protection of heaven, a disaster demon would have crushed Qiao Yihuan to death.
Besides, now that I am calm, no matter how I try to explain myself, I can't make it clear.
What's more, there is a Lu Gousheng in the capital who can't see Qiao Yihuan and was beaten with a stick for ringing the drum.
Lu Gousheng will definitely turn his pain into hatred and direct it towards Qiao Yihuan.
And in this farce, I am the most innocent person.
A group of mad dogs are biting each other, and the show is about to begin.
Qiao Yihuan fainted after soaking in ice water for a long time. The guards were afraid to help because they were wet, and there were no other women in the temple. Qiao Wanyan and her servant would definitely not help either, so Xiaoying had to drag him back with great effort.
Dragging hard on the ground.
If it were in the past, Xiaoying would never do this even if she died, but now she felt that she had done her best by pulling her out of the icy water.
Qiao Yihuan woke up not on the next morning, but at the hour of Yin.
He opened his eyes dazedly for a long time, and suddenly sat up.
The night was deep, and the National Temple in the early morning lost some of its sacredness during the day and inexplicably became more eerie.
A scream was heard, and Xiaoying was startled and slowly opened the door and came in.
Although the matter has not yet come to an end, she feels that there is a high probability that the young lady will not be able to recover.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Qiao Yihuan dug her palm tightly with her fingertips, and her knuckles were blue and white.
A few messy strands of hair covered half of her gloomy and terrifying face, and her eyes were filled with endless anger and panic.
"How can it be okay?! How could this happen, how could this happen, how could I......"
Xiaoying said: "Miss, don't worry, there will definitely be a way!"
Qiao Yihuan slapped him, "What nonsense are you talking about? My reputation is ruined, and you want me to not worry???"
Xiaoying endured the pain and said, "I, I am also doing this for the young lady's own good. The guards of Tianshu Camp have returned to the capital overnight to report the matter to the Second Prince. The young lady should now distance herself from the matter."
Qiao Yihuan's eyes moved quickly, "Someone drugged me, but when did it happen?"
Since arriving at the Guo Temple, she has only had a vegetarian meal and the tea brought by Shen Lingyi.
There are so many people eating vegetarian food together, so nothing will happen.
Qiao Yihuan's eyes suddenly widened, "It's Chen Lingyi! It's that cup of tea!"
Xiaoying said: "No way Miss, if it was Miss Shen, then Miss Shen would also drink the tea!"
"Wouldn't she have taken the antidote in advance?!"
Xiaoying, shut up. Yes, what are you afraid of if you take the antidote in advance?
"Go and see if the remaining tea is still there!"
Xiaoying immediately lit a candle and went to look for it, but she didn't know that the tea that was supposed to be half full had disappeared without a drop. Not only that, there was no smell inside the teapot, so it must have been rinsed with clean water.
Qiao Yihuan felt extremely regretful. She had been wary of Shen Lingyi, but later, because Shen Lingyi drank the tea and had no grudges against her, she thought she was just trying to get close to her.
I was careless once and ended up in a desperate situation.
"Miss, what should we do if we don't have the evidence? Without evidence, those people won't believe it!"
Qiao Yihuan murmured to himself in a low voice: "It won't work without evidence. Without evidence, I was not harmed by someone, and I am not innocent..."
But now the evidence has been cleared, and I have to find another piece of evidence. Getting entangled with Shen Lingyi will only waste time, my precious time.
Qiao Yihuan seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes slowly moved up to look at Xiaoying.
Xiaoying suddenly met her gaze, and suddenly a chill ran down her heart.
"Miss."
