Chapter 344 I Want to Take Revenge Personally
Qing'er has a hard mouth.
But some of the interrogation methods used by the Ministry of Punishment were very cruel and eventually pried her mouth open.
Luo Shui knelt on the ground and reported to Emperor Minghe and others:
"Qing'er confessed that the poisonous insect had been hidden in Concubine Jin's dowry."
"She received news from Xiliang in the middle of last year, which allowed her to take action."
"They planned to wait for Concubine Jin to die suddenly, and then send troops on the grounds that the Chu state had abused Concubine Jin."
Emperor Minghe was so angry that he trembled all over.
"I've known for the past two years that Xiliang has evil intentions, but I didn't expect that they had already planned this more than 20 years ago?"
Sending the princess to marry was not intended to maintain friendship between the two countries.
Instead, it planted an evil seed and waited for it to sprout!
Qin Jingyu keenly discovered an opportunity.
He asked Luo Shui, "Does the palace maid have any ideas? According to the current process, when will Concubine Jin suddenly die?"
Luo Shui: "She said that it would be around June at the latest, because this poison is the hardest to be discovered, but the person would die miserably."
"Then we can say that the queen was killed by the people of Da Chu!"
In fact, if Su Tanxin had not fallen yet, and Concubine Jin had died suddenly like this.
It can be said that Emperor Minghe indulged other concubines and caused the death of Concubine Jin.
But the point is that now the harem of Emperor Minghe is peaceful.
Concubine Rou, who has the most say and is in charge of the six palaces at the time, is also the best friend of Concubine Jin.
Therefore, no one can be blamed for the dirty water in Xiliang.
Then, there is another variable, which is Doctor Bai.
Emperor Minghe was furious, but he calmed down a little. He looked at his son and said, "Jingyu, what do you want to say?"
Qin Jingyu: "The other party wanted Concubine Jin to have an accident in the middle of the year, which means that they were fully prepared at that time."
"Now, whether it's Xiliang or Southern Xinjiang, they are all watching the relationship between the Western Regions and us."
Emperor Minghe: "They may have united."
Qin Jingyu: "Maybe this guy has also contacted the Western Regions. If the prince of the Western Regions had not fallen into our hands, it might have been even more troublesome."
"But one thing is for sure: they are not ready yet, and we still have half a year."
Qin Jingyu asked someone to bring out the map of the mainland.
"Southern Xinjiang is far away from these two countries, and we just defeated it. At this moment, he is most likely waiting and watching."
"The Western Regions and Xiliang are the closest, both located in the northwest of Da Chu."
Emperor Minghe murmured, "There is still half a year left..."
Qin Jingyu: "Temporarily block the news from Jin Fei, and then think of a way to do something in the next six months to hinder their alliance."
Over the years, Da Chu has always been the most powerful, and the surrounding countries are all its vassal states.
And Da Chu is located in the most fertile place on this continent.
Over the years, there have been disputes between the countries from time to time, but in the end, the Great Chu always won.
But those people did not give up.
They have been planning for more than 20 years, perhaps just for the day in the future when they can unite and conquer Da Chu!
Emperor Minghe nodded calmly, "I will immediately ask the confidential ministers to enter the palace. Jingyu, you stay too."
"yes."
Before leaving, Emperor Minghe went in to visit Concubine Jin again and told her what he had found out.
He said with concern: "Don't worry, Concubine Jin, I will ask Elder Bai to cure you!"
"As for your people..."
Jin Fei, who had just had her blood let out and was very weak, suddenly raised her head.
Although she was very weak, her eyes were extremely sharp. "Your Majesty, will Great Chu go to war with Western Liang?"
Emperor Minghe: "Not necessarily. But if Xiliang attacks Dachu, we will certainly not be afraid of them."
Concubine Jin nodded, "I understand."
Emperor Minghe couldn't bear it, but didn't know how to comfort her, so he told Concubine Rou to stay here and spend more time with Concubine Jin.
As for Lin Qingning...
Qin Jingyu said to her, "I have to discuss things with my father and the others. Do you want to stay here or go back home first?"
Lin Qingning: "I'll stay here. Doctor Bai can't leave for the time being."
"And I'm a little worried about her condition."
It was precisely because she had felt so sorry for Zhu'er before that Lin Qingning felt very uncomfortable seeing Concubine Jin like this.
But also very angry.
Qin Jingyu nodded, "Okay, if I finish early, I'll let Luo Shui come pick you up."
"good."
Qin Jingyu turned and went to the imperial study, and Ouyang Rui was the first to arrive.
Emperor Minghe rubbed his brows and asked, "How is the investigation going on with the matter of Ping'an Marquis Mansion?"
Ouyang Rui: "Your Majesty, the fire was set by the Marquis of Ping'an himself. This has been confirmed after interrogating all the survivors."
"It matches his suicide note."
"He was determined to die."
After Ouyang Rui finished speaking, the three people in the room fell silent.
Lu Changhui was previously a loyal minister under Emperor Minghe. The two were of similar age and had known each other for decades.
Lu Changhui can be considered as Ouyang Rui's master, and it was he who personally handed over the Dali Temple to Ouyang Rui.
Lu Changhui has been Qin Jingyu's father for more than 20 years...
Emperor Minghe sighed and said, "Forget it. Now that things have come to this, Lu Changhui's funeral will be handled according to his will."
"Jing Yu, find a reliable person to take charge of this matter."
Qin Jingyu: “Yes.”
Ouyang Rui brought up the matter of Shen Ruoying again.
Qin Jingyu: "Before, the matter of her killing Lu Hangzhi was suppressed by Ping'an Hou, but now, Ping'an Hou is gone."
Emperor Minghe was silent for a long time, then he said, "Let's talk about the crime and punishment."
The Western Regions are willing to pay the price to save Zhao Feiyang, but someone will have to pay for Lu Hangzhi's life in the end.
Moreover, Shen Ruoying is a woman who has committed many evil deeds and is really not worthy of sympathy!
Ouyang Rui cupped his hands and said, "I will take care of this matter."
After a while, other confidential ministers arrived, and Emperor Minghe talked to everyone about the affairs of Xiliang.
Jin Palace.
Doctor Bai was still telling Concubine Rou what detoxifying things she needed to prepare.
The people in Jinfei's palace were worried that there were other spies besides Qing'er, so they asked Luo Shui to take people to investigate.
At this time, only Lin Qingning was guarding by his side.
Concubine Jin said weakly, "Crown Princess, I'm sorry for your hard work."
Lin Qingning: "You are welcome, Concubine Jin. We are like sisters, so please don't be so reserved with us."
Jin Fei suddenly laughed at herself: "Do you also think I'm pitiful?"
"She came to the Chu Kingdom for the sake of her country, but ended up getting stabbed in the back by her own countrymen."
"Want to make me die miserably? Hahahahaha."
Jin Fei laughed so hard that tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
She never cried when she fought on the battlefield, rode on horseback, and suffered severe injuries.
Later, she left her hometown and married into the harem of the Great Chu. No matter how she was bullied, she never cried.
Maybe the only time I cried was when Su Tanxin schemed to kill the baby in my belly, and I could never get pregnant again...
But now, she was crying again.
Lin Qingning held her cold fingertips and told her about Nalan Zhuer.
"It was the people of Southern Xinjiang who poisoned Zhu'er so that she would never have children of her own in this lifetime."
"You are all great heroes, the best of the best. It is your countrymen's fault for backstabbing you!"
"I have advised Zhu'er not to think so much in the future and live for yourself. So, I am here to advise the queen to do the same as Zhu'er."
"Live for yourself."
Jin Fei held Lin Qingning's hand tightly, tears rolling down her face and the corners of her mouth trembling.
"I will live for myself, I must survive!"
"I will avenge myself personally!"
Lin Qingning was stunned, "Empress Jinfei..."
Jin Fei suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of suggestions, "If Xiliang and Da Chu are going to have a war, I will go to the battlefield and ask them why they treat me like this!"
Lin Qingning was very shocked, but perhaps this was the real Concubine Jin.
She is suitable for being heroic and fighting on the battlefield, rather than being trapped in the backyard and wasting her life!
Moreover, it is a good thing to have such people with faith in their hearts. Lin Qingning thought that Concubine Jin would definitely cooperate well with Doctor Bai to completely detoxify her.
In order to detoxify Concubine Jin, Doctor Bai had to stay in the palace.
Lin Qingning also stayed in the palace for most of the day. She assisted Concubine Rou in handling all matters until Concubine Jin fell asleep after taking medicine because she was too weak.
Concubine Rou breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qingning accompanied her back to Qiulu Palace first.
Concubine Rou's eyes were red. "Concubine Jin is so pitiful."
Concubine Rou had previously resented the Jiang family's ignoring her, but now compared with Concubine Jin and Nalan Zhu'er, the Jiang family only ignored her, which was actually considered pretty good.
"The stab from a loved one hurts the most!"
Lin Qingning nodded, "That's true, but Concubine Jin is very strong and has a strong desire to survive."
"And now the spies in the Jin Palace have all been found and replaced with reliable people, so you don't have to worry about it, mother."
Concubine Rou: "Well, I kept you busy for a long time today."
Lin Qingning: "It's okay, I'm glad I can help you."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time.
During this period, the Cining Palace actually sent someone to say that if the Crown Princess had not left the palace yet, she should go to the Cining Palace.
Concubine Rou said decisively: "The Crown Princess has already left the palace, you can go back."
The palace maid looked at the Crown Princess sitting next to her in shock.
"Empress Roufei..."
Concubine Rou: "Well, go back and tell them that something big happened in the palace today, and we won't go to the Cining Palace for the time being."
Palace attendant: "Except for what important matter?"
Concubine Rou: "We don't know either. If the Queen Mother wants to know, let her ask His Majesty."
Palace maid: “…”
When this palace maid left Qiulu Palace, she was still in a daze.
How did Concubine Rou become like this...
Lin Qingning was a little worried. "Mother, will the Queen Mother blame you for saying this?"
Concubine Rou was actually a little scared.
But she still insisted: "If I don't say this, the Queen Mother won't like me. In this case, why can't I protect my daughter-in-law?"
"And something big did happen in the palace today. Concubine Jin almost died!"
"Anyway, if she's unhappy, she can just go and complain to His Majesty."
After saying this, Concubine Rou also felt that her back was much straighter.
She is now the most powerful concubine in the harem, and her son is the crown prince. Emperor Minghe has not favored other concubines for the time being...
She is still her elder sister's most beloved sister.
When Concubine Rou thought about it this way, she felt more confident!
Looking at Concubine Rou who was trying hard to protect her, Lin Qingning raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and finally showed her first smile today.
It was almost dark when Qin Jingyu finished his work.
The couple said goodbye to the emperor and his concubine, left the palace and got on the carriage.
Qin Jingyu held Lin Qingning's hand and said, "Qingning, there may be a war."
