The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

   Chapter 441 Clues of the events of the year (two more)

  The prison of the Zongren Mansion was silent, and the candlelight jumped, which illuminated the old prince's face that was suddenly green and white.

  The old prince was bitter. At that time, he wanted to quickly tell Shangguanpu's crimes and plead for himself. How could he pay so much attention?

   By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late, and the people hiding in the dark knocked him unconscious without giving him a chance to call.

   When he woke up again, he was holding a dagger full of blood in his hand, and what he heard was Shangguanpu's voice calling for the imperial physician.

   And not far from him, the emperor was lying in a pool of blood without knowing his life or death.

   Immediately after, he was accused of assassinating the emperor, no matter how much he complained, no one listened.

   He is also very aggrieved, okay?

   Not only was he wronged, but he was also angry. How could he say that he did so many things for King Jing, and as a result, he was the first to operate on him.

  If he said that he had doubts about Song Jingchen's analysis before, then he completely believed it now. King Jing didn't plan to let him live too long from the beginning.

   "Nephew, you must save me." The old prince pleaded.

  Song Jingchen glanced at him lightly: "Now the harem of the previous dynasty is controlled by King Jing, and the lord looks down on me too much."

Shen Yijia nodded in agreement and whispered, "That's right, King Jing covers the sky with one hand now, and if he wants to save the person he wants to kill, he must save the dog emperor first, and the dog emperor has harmed our old Song family. That way, it's better to die."

   Song Jingchen was delighted by the phrase "our old Song family" she said, and hooked the corner of his lips.

   Her voice was not too loud, but not too small either.

   At least the old man heard it clearly, or Shen Yijia intended to tell him that.

  The old prince was startled, unable to figure out if this was the real thoughts of the couple, and gritted his teeth: "My emperor's nephew is at most abusive, don't you want to know who framed the prince and Fuguo's mansion back then?"

  Song Jingchen clenched his fist under his sleeve, Shen Yijia scratched the back of his hand soothingly, and rolled his eyes: "You don't want to say that Shangguanpu did it?"

  The old man was stunned for a while, and his face was written how do you know?

"Tsk tsk, it's really hard for us to save you out. All the dirty water is poured on Shangguanpu." Shen Yijia gave him a contemptuous glance: "Shangguanpu doesn't trust you at all, even if he really did it, could he still Will I tell you? I don't know how to find a better reason."

   "I..." The old prince stopped suddenly, looked at Song Jingchen cautiously, and stopped talking.

  Shen Yijia hummed: "Isn't there a reason to say anything?"

   She took Song Jingchen's hand: "Xianggong, let's go, when the medicine wears off, those people should wake up."

   She was referring to the officers and soldiers guarding the prison outside. Not everyone in the Zongren Mansion could enter.

  Shen Yijia sighed: "It's not easy to come here once, and I won't come again in the future, so as not to be caught by Shangguanpu."

   Song Jingchen nodded.

  The old man was worried every day that he would be killed, he didn’t dare to eat or sleep, and finally two people who could save him came. He didn’t want to let them go like this, gritted his teeth and said, “Wait…”

   The husband and wife both looked at him.

  Old Wangye: Why is this scene so familiar? When they were in the Song family's cellar, the two seemed to have provoked him so much...

  Shen Yijia: What's the matter with you, this method is very useful.

   "I can tell everything I know, but you have to promise not to hold me accountable first." The old prince looked at Song Jingchen and said.

   He said that, Song Jingchen guessed that the old prince must also be involved...

   It also makes sense why he didn't mention Shangguanpu's crimes in the cellar before.

  Song Jingchen smiled mockingly and nodded cheerfully.

   He agreed too quickly, and the old prince always felt that it was not true, so he pretended to be calm and added: "You swear."

  Song Jingchen said lightly: "If I really want to attack you, what's the use of swearing? You don't think there are ghosts and gods in this world, do you?"

   He paused, thinking of something sneering: "If there were really ghosts and gods, those innocent women who were killed by you would have come to seek revenge from you long ago."

   As Song Jingchen's words fell, the old prince seemed to hear the hysterical curses of those women before they died. He shrank back and said, "No, it's okay not to swear, you just need to remember what you promised me."

   Song Jingchen did not speak.

   The old prince took a deep breath: "The dragon robe that was placed in the East Palace was taken from my mansion by Shangguanpu."

   He knew how much he weighed, so he never thought of grabbing the throne.

   But when he entered Beijing that year, the appearance of the late emperor sitting aloft on a dragon chair in a dragon robe gave him a very deep impression.

  So in the third year after the late emperor left, he secretly invited a few embroiderers to make one for him at the house...

   The dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon took a full ten years to complete.

   He didn't say anything about this terrible thing, including his pillow-side princess, but Shangguanpu knew about it for some reason.

  Shangguanpu did not expose him, but took the dragon robe away. At first, he thought he was going to destroy it.

   It wasn't until he found out the dragon robe that he was so familiar with from the East Palace. At that time, he had already stood in line with Guanpu, and naturally he would not expose him...

   In fact, he believed that Concubine Liu said that Shangguanpu was his son, which was also the reason.

   Shangguanpu didn't hurt him even though he had his deadly handle, so he thought it must be his son.

   Thinking back now, Shangguanpu simply felt that a bull’s knife should be used to kill a chicken, and a good knife should be used on the edge of the blade.

   He is a chicken, and the position of the East Palace is the blade...

   So angry!

   A murderous look flashed in Song Jingchen's eyes, he squinted and said, "How do you prove that what you said is true?"

   The old prince felt a little cold on his back for some reason, and shrank his neck and said, "The embroidered mothers who were invited to the house by me back then were all witnesses..."

   At that time, he was not so cruel. After the completion of the dragon robe, he only made a few embroidered mothers poisonous, dumb, poisonous and blind, interrupted their hands, and did not directly kill them.

   But he didn't know where those people went.

  Shen Yijia grinded her teeth, isn't that cruel? Then what kind of torture should he have done to those innocent women?

   "So Shangguanpu is your real enemy. Do you want to watch your enemy sit in that position?"

   The old prince was still in Baba and kept saying that he only provided the dragon robe, and he didn't know that Shangguanpu was taking it to frame the East Palace, and it also caused the Fuguo Gongfu to be full of people.

  Shen Yijia couldn't take it anymore, she reached out to pick up the person and "papa" was just two ears.

   What do you do with a dragon robe when you have nothing to eat, can Shangguan Pu be so easily framed without that dragon robe?

   The old prince was spit out a mouthful of blood by her, and said in horror: "You... just now... answer... promised not to pursue it..."

   "My husband promised, but I didn't." Shen Yijia rolled her eyes, and without any burden, smashed his silver teeth with two fists.

  The old prince has been frightened and exhausted these days, how can he bear it, when Shen Yijia's third punch was about to land, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

   so unscathed?

   Shen Yijia mentioned him and shook it, making sure that the person passed out before throwing it away.

   Knowing that Song Jingchen must be feeling bad now, she turned around and shouted cautiously, "Xiang Gong..."

  Song Jingchen came back to his senses, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands carefully, and said softly, "You don't have to get your hands dirty for this kind of person in the future."

   Shen Yijia nodded obediently.

  Song Jingchen put away the veil and rubbed her head: "Let's go back first."

   In fact, Song Jingchen has been investigating the incident since returning to Beijing, and the dragon robe is not like those letters.

   It is not something that can be done overnight, and the water will bring waves, so there are naturally many things that can be checked.

   So this is always within the scope of his investigation.

   It's just that he focused his attention on a few princes and ignored the old prince who had no sense of existence...

   Back at Liu'er Street, Song Jingchen sent a few people out overnight.

   It has been more than ten years since the old prince invited those embroidered girls into the house, and it is not easy to find out who is among them.

   However, because we have checked again a few months ago, and now we have determined the specific time and who was invited to leave, so a few people in a tube did not take too much time to bring back the news.

   "There were five Xiu Niangs who entered the Xia Wang Mansion." A tube put a stack of rice paper on the table in front of Song Jingchen.

   The names and addresses of the five embroidered mothers are recorded above, including their place of origin.

   "The five of them are embroiderers with relatively good craftsmanship in Beijing. Back then, King Xia went to Prince Xia's mansion on the grounds that he wanted to hire a special embroiderer for Princess Xia, and they have never appeared in the capital since."

  Song Jingchen quickly scanned the contents of the rice paper and tapped on the table: "What about their family members?"

"The subordinates and others have asked a few elderly people in their neighbors, and they learned from their mouths that the family members of the five people have all returned to their hometowns one after another. Go back." A tube paused: "My subordinates heard that bandits were rampant in those years, and unclaimed corpses were often thrown into the wilderness..."

   Those people are likely to be silenced.

  The old man thought that Shangguanpu had destroyed the dragon robe, and without the evidence, he didn't even kill those embroidered mothers, let alone kill their family members.

   King Jing is different. In order not to leave any traces and get the dragon robe, it took a few years to frame the crown prince. It can be seen that his mind is meticulous. How could such a person let those people live?

  Song Jingchen pressed his forehead. In fact, the old prince was also a witness, but he was not able to convince the public because of his bad deeds.

  If it is up to him to speak, it is impossible for others to think that he is deliberately throwing dirty water because of his personal grudge with King Jing.

   As Shen Yijia deliberately said in prison.

  Since the verdict is to be overturned, the Fuguo Gongfu must be cleared.

   "But..." Yitong hesitated whether to say it.

  Song Jingchen frowned: "Speak."

"When my subordinate asked about this, I thought that the master said that Xiu Niang was blinded, her hands were crippled, and she couldn't speak. I specifically asked, and found that there was a small village below Cangtong Town, where a pair of grandparents lived. That was the case with the old man among them."

   "I just went down to the village and asked the grandson of the family. He said that his grandmother had never been to the capital at all, let alone embroidery."

   That's why he hesitated to say it.

  Song Jingchen frowned, even if there was a little hope, he didn't want to let it go: "You write down the address, and I'll go there in person tomorrow."

   "Where are you going?" Shen Yijia pushed open the study door and walked in, asking curiously.

   "Why did you come back so early today?" Song Jingchen waved his hand to let a tube go down, burning the rice paper on the table one by one.

   Shen Yijia puffed out her cheeks, put the steaming soup cup in her hand on the table, turned around and opened the window to ventilate: "It's too cold outside, so I'll be back."

   Song Jingchen chuckled and joked, "I thought I came back earlier because I missed me."

   Feng Manman was poisoned a few days ago, and the doctor found the head mask that Yuan Yuwan had given in her room.

  The head and face have been soaked in the medicinal juice in advance, but the above is only the medicinal guide, and only touching the head and face will not be poisoned, but if you eat the wood hibiscus again, it will be different. If you want to add the two, it will form a chronic toxin.

  Because October is the blooming season of Hibiscus, Yuan Yuwan would ask people to pick some stew or make cakes when she has nothing to do.

  She manages the house and doesn't like to eat alone, so she will naturally send some to each yard...

   In short, after checking it out, all clues point to Yuan Yuwan.

   It was rare for Xiao Qirui to not believe the so-called evidence, so he just let people continue to investigate thoroughly.

   But he alone believed that Yuan Yuwan was useless, and everyone in the house began to spread that Yuan Yuwan was a narrow-minded and intolerant wife, and poisoned Concubine Feng.

   Yuan Yu felt wronged, and angrily knelt down in front of General Xiao to resign from the important role of housekeeper.

   This is indeed in line with her disdainful disdain for explanation. General Xiao gave her a scolding for this, and in the end she was reluctant to take back the stewardship.

   Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Ruoshui were both absent, and the housekeeping power finally fell to Mrs. Qiao.

   When Yuan Yuwan was free, she invited Shen Yijia to go out to listen to books and have tea every day, or go to Shen Yijia's bookstore to read.

   In order to accompany her, Shen Yijia often doesn't come back until dinner time these days.

  Song Jingchen felt sour in his heart, but he was a big man who couldn't follow him.

Shen Yijia heard a sense of grievance from his joking voice, rolled her eyes, leaned over to hold his face and took a sip: "cold is just an excuse to sister Yuwan, the real The reason is of course because of you."

"Look, this is the tonic soup that I specially asked Mo Yuan to stew for you when I went out. I also bought the candied fruit you like to eat, and I also bought you a cloth and let the mother make new clothes for you." Shen Yijia's dog-legged general Tang Cup moved in front of Song Jingchen and counted the things he bought for him outside: "Although I am outside, I always think of you."

   The corner of Song Jingchen's mouth twitched, she obviously liked the candied fruit, but he was just afraid that she would get angry with her if she ate too much.

   Moreover, Shen Yijia's actions always made him feel that he was a soft-boiled man under her care. What's the matter?

  Waiting at home for this girl to come back to be pampered, she also sent him off with a bunch of gifts.

  Shen Yijia scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it to his mouth, "Come on, open your mouth."

   Song Jingchen opened his mouth subconsciously.

   "I heard Mo Yuan say that this soup is the most nourishing, what kind of whipping is it, I guarantee you will be alive in the future..."

   "Cough cough." Song Jingchen choked on her words, glanced at the brown soup, and his forehead jumped.

   But Shen Yijia still looked like she didn't understand anything.

   Watching another spoonful of soup delivered to his mouth, Song Jingchen really took it or not.

   ink kite!
