Chapter 436 The Eternal Sinner
Thinking of this, Jiangchuan and Xiaoxiangzi looked at each other with strange eyes.
Who knows what kind of monsters are hiding under Xiaoxiangzi (Jiangchuan)'s skin?
Jiang Xinyue threw a few fruits over: "Do you know why that person knew that you would quickly control the rumors, but still took the trouble to arrange all this?"
Jiangchuan and Xiaoxiangzi then retracted their suspicious eyes and looked at Jiang Xinyue in confusion.
What does the queen mean by this?
Didn't she say that?
The person with the painted skin is right next to them, and may be someone who is very familiar with the queen.
"What you just did, isn't it exactly what the person behind the scenes wants?"
Xiao Xiangzi and Jiang Chuan suddenly realized: "What the queen means is that the person just wants us to be in disarray and suspicious of each other, so that there will be chaos and others will have a chance to take advantage of it?"
Just imagine, if even Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xiangzi, the two eunuchs in charge of Kunning Palace, are suspicious of each other, how much chaos will the people below create?
How can you do good things if you are suspicious all day long?
If you are timid, you may not even be able to sleep, worrying that the face-cutting monster will peel off your face every day.
If you do bad things, everyone will be on guard against each other, won't Jiang Xinyue have problems?
The person behind the scenes will kill Jiang Xinyue if he gets the chance.
This is the man's ultimate goal.
What a sinister mind.
Is there anyone like this in the harem?
He is really well hidden.
Hui Yuan cried and rubbed her legs. She had passed the most shocked and frightened moment. Now that the dust had settled, her legs felt a little soft.
She didn't know if the Queen Mother had made her stand here for so long on purpose.
But even if it was intentional, she couldn't complain.
Her princess was demoted because she had offended the Queen Mother by scheming against the Crown Prince. The emperor ordered her to be sent to Qingyang Palace.
They, the master and servant, were bullied there and tortured to pieces by the housekeeper, and now they have lost their lives.
"The Queen Mother is here——"
the eunuch's voice rang out, Hui Yuan collected her chaotic thoughts, knelt on the ground and dared not raise her head.
Jiang Xinyue walked straight to the main seat and sat down, and a maid who had already understood the whole story was explaining the situation.
Last night, Concubine Jin had a quarrel with the nanny as usual, and was taken to the toilet to wash the toilet. It turned out that someone was watching her, but her mouth stinked more than the cesspool in the toilet, and she cursed too dirty.
So the maids and eunuchs of Qingyang Palace threw her in front of the toilet and left. She
was not of our race, and she intended to murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The eldest maid, Sister Shuangjiang, who was beside the Queen Mother, personally told her to be specially "taken care of". Of course, they did not look at her well.
Jin Guipin's treatment in Qingyang Palace is the same as that of the lowest-level palace maids. If she doesn't finish her daily work, she won't have food to eat.
Although she has a tough mouth, her body is very honest. In order to suffer less, she will finish all the assigned work.
Whether she has done it well or not is another matter. Anyway, there is Huiyuan behind her who is devoted to her and takes care of the aftermath.
But yesterday, Jin Guipin washed the toilet until midnight, and Huiyuan brought her food on the way. Jin Guipin thought she was tactless and made her eat in the toilet room and threw away all the food. Huiyuan
felt wronged and hid in the room crying, and then fell asleep. When she got up, she found that her princess had not come back.
Jiang Xinyue interrupted the maid and asked Hui Yuan, "When you found out that your mistress didn't come back and went out to look for her, what time was it?"
Hui Yuan recalled, "It was probably... 3:45 in the morning."
3:45 in the morning is from 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. The murderer chose a time when the palace maids in Qingyang Palace were sleeping the most.
"You mean, you went out to look for your mistress, and found her body in the concubine's room, which was already stiff, right?"
Thinking of the scene at that time, Hui Yuan's tears flowed down again. She wanted to speak several times but couldn't cry.
Afterwards, she knelt on the ground with a "thump" and said, "Queen... Queen, I... I apologize on behalf of my queen. I can die now to atone for my sin. But Queen, I... I beg you, please find out who killed my queen. My princess... she was spoiled, she is so pitiful... wuwuwu..."
She couldn't stop crying and almost fainted. Jiang Xinyue waved her hand, and the palace maid who brought her here took her away again.
Shuangjiang helped her to stand up: "My queen, does the person behind this want to impose the identity of the Painted Skin Man on Jin Guipin and drag you into the water?"
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Jin Guipin was a princess of Goguryeo. No matter what kind of wolfish ambitions Goguryeo was, it was still a vassal state of Dayan on the surface.
Their king sent the princess to marry, but she was killed in the palace within a year. This is unacceptable.
If Dayan Dynasty treats their vassal states in this way, is it really the right choice to rely on an emperor who doesn't care about their lives?
Then, after thinking about it, if they are provoked by someone with ulterior motives, they will suddenly turn to Dayan's enemies like Fuso and do evil on Dayan's border.
In this case, Jiang Xinyue would be a sinner for all eternity.
Because the person behind the scenes said that she was the one who killed Concubine Jin.
It seemed that the man with the painted skin hated her to the core, and not only wanted to kill her, but also wanted her to bear the eternal curse and make the Jiang family die without a burial place.
When did she offend such a vicious and cruel person?
She had no idea.
Dali Temple——
"Zhu Qianyi, you coward, the emperor killed your father and brother, he also killed your sister, how can you work for the emperor? For the sake of glory and wealth, you regard the thief as your father. God is watching, you will be punished for this."
"We, the retainers, still remember the lord's revenge, but his most beloved son has forgotten the grace of the Zhu family's upbringing, and worked for the enemy who killed his father in order to survive. It's really a big joke."
...
The two surviving assassins cursed Zhu Qianyi one after another.
"Sizzle!"
The aroma of barbecue filled the interrogation room of the Dali Temple.
"Ah! Um..."
A red-hot iron was imprinted on one of the men's mouths. The veins on the back of Ma Yiyang's hand were exposed, but there was a calm smile on his face.
It was not until the assassin on the opposite side saw that the man under Ma Yiyang's hand died in pain, and his two lips were stuck together because of being flattened, that he turned pale and dared not say another word.
"Sizzle-sizzle-sizzle"
The iron that had just branded a man to death sank into the water after it burned red. The cold water in the basin instantly boiled and rolled, which was extremely terrifying.
