The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

   Chapter 509 Stay

   In the blink of an eye, Queen Mother Zhou's Feng Ran approached.

   Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyes and greeted him with a little energy.

   He naturally knew why his mother came here, and now everyone in the entire palace knows.

   "Queen Mother." Xuanyuan Qi called softly.

   Empress Dowager Zhou had just turned sixty this year, and her hair was already gray. She grabbed the handrail and got down from the phoenix with a trembling body. The maid wanted to help, but Xuanyuan Qi took the lead.

   "Where's your brother? Where is he? Aijia, Aijia wants to see..."

Following everyone's line of sight, seeing the figure lying quietly in the lobby, in an instant, an invisible thunder sounded in Queen Mother Zhou's ears and mind at the same time, making her dizzy and even lost in a split second. all perception.

   Tears rolled down at some point.

   Xuanyuan Qi hurriedly supported her, and a hot tear fell on the back of his hand.

   His heart tightened, and he persuaded in a hoarse voice: "Mother, it's important to take care of your health."

   Empress Dowager Zhou didn't say a word, just pushed him away and walked over with a staggering pace.

   Xuanyuan Qi followed her step by step to protect her.

  The road is not long, but the Queen Mother Zhou walked for a long time. It seems that if she walks slowly, the figure will stand up by herself, like before, smiling and saying to her: "Mother, the son is back."

   But no!

   No matter how long the road is, she will squat down beside Xuanyuan Ce and stretch out her hand...

   It was cold and dead, and the blood lines on the neck were so clear!

   A whimpering cry came from the lobby.

   She is not a queen mother at this moment, just a mother who just lost her son.

  Everyone said that she had a good fate. Once she entered the palace, she was the queen of the world. After her son ascended the throne, she treated her with filial piety.

   But if she took her life seriously, how could the young lose her husband, and the mother and son were almost killed by the traitor.

  If she really had a good life, why would she have to send a black-haired person to a white-haired person when she gets old.

   Her cry was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears, and everyone quietly blushed.

  Xuanyuan Qi raised his head silently, tears welling in his eyes, he covered his face to cover it, and when he calmed down, he squatted down, and stretched out his arms to embrace the gray-haired mother.

   "Who, who?" Empress Dowager Zhou grabbed his hand violently, the armor digging deep into the back of his hand. She raised her head, her body trembled slightly, her voice desperate and angry: "Who is the murderer? Who killed your brother?"

  Xuanyuan Qi glanced at Shen Yijia who was on the side, then quickly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes and said, "Not yet..."

   "It was her, the imperial grandmother, who killed my father and king, you must not let her go." Xuanyuan Ye suddenly grabbed the words.

  The Queen Mother Zhou stood up slowly, her scarlet eyes sharply looking at Shen Yijia, who Xuanyuan Ye pointed at.

   Seeing her appearance clearly, she tightened her fingertips, monstrous anger rose in her heart, and coldly spit out two words: "Ji Luo!"

   Empress Dowager Zhou had met Ji Luo. On Xuanyuan Ce's wedding day, to show her respect for the Yu family, she personally went out of the palace to preside over the wedding banquet.

  It was also at that time that she met Ji Luo for the first time.

   Not to mention that Ji Luo's eyebrows are too recognizable, just the appearance is enough to make people unforgettable.

   And she always knew that the reason why Xuanyuan Ce didn't return to Fengcheng after being away for a long time, it was difficult for her to see this son, was because of this woman - this was also the biggest reason why she didn't like Ji Luo.

   Xuanyuan Qi's eyes sank: "She is the daughter of Ji Luo and his second brother."

   Guessing that Xuanyuan Ye had filed a complaint in the palace, Xuanyuan Ce had mentioned it to him when he brought Song Jingchen into the palace yesterday.

   Thinking that a person who was alive yesterday has turned into a cold corpse today, Xuanyuan Qi felt like he was caught by a pair of invisible hands, and he was a little breathless for a while.

   Hearing that he was the son of Xuanyuan Ce, the Queen Mother Zhou endured her resentment and looked at Shen Yijia carefully, and sure enough, she saw some shadow of her son between her eyebrows.

   Her heart is full of mixed flavors.

   Xuanyuan Ye cried: "Grandmother, she just came back to take revenge because she resented that her father abandoned her and her mother back then..."

   Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Shen Yijia again, her face was calm, she couldn't see any sadness at all, she had already believed Xuanyuanye's words seven or eight points in her heart.

   She took a deep breath and called out in a deep voice, "Emperor!"

   Knowing that she was angry, Xuanyuan Qi felt bitter in his heart: "Empress mother, she is indeed suspected, but she is not sure yet. If you wronged her, the second brother will not forgive my brother."

   He always remembered the look in Xuanyuan Ce's eyes when he mentioned this daughter. If it weren't for this, even if he was only suspicious, he wouldn't let Shen Yijia stand here...

   "Then you're not afraid to let the murderer go and let your brother die?" Empress Dowager Zhou scolded sharply.

   Xuanyuan Qi clenched his fists: "Mother, the son will check."

   "Okay, let's check now, Aijia will see with his own eyes, and watch the thief who killed my son be punished."

  Xuanyuan Ye was satisfied, but did not notice that Yu shi, who was crying silently beside him, froze.

   Empress Dowager Zhou spoke, Xuanyuan Qi could not refuse, after all, he also wanted to find out the real murderer as soon as possible.

   After a while, all the servants in Xuanyuance Courtyard were taken to the open space outside the Imperial Palace, and everyone knelt down in fear.

   The first person to find out what happened to Xuanyuan Ce was the old housekeeper in the other courtyard. Xuanyuan Ce returned to the mansion when he was ugly. After returning to the mansion, he sent one of his servants into the study and stayed there until Yin Shi did not come out.

   The old butler did not feel relieved to go in and take a look, Xuanyuan Ce was already lying on the ground without breath.

   This is a major event that caused the whole house to lose their heads, and everyone exploded.

   Two of the servants claimed to have seen a woman come out of the study when they woke up at night, and the butler hurriedly brought them into the palace to report the funeral.

   Hearing the question above, the two servants remarked the previous remarks again with sincerity.

   "Slave, the servant thought she was the favored woman of the prince, so he didn't dare to do anything..."

Xuanyuance didn't have much time to go back to Fengcheng, let alone the number of times he went back to other hospitals. They didn't know this master, so they naturally took what might happen to other high-profile families on Xuanyuance for granted. .

  The other servant didn't speak, which was obviously the reason.

  Although neither of them could see the woman's face clearly, the figure, clothes, and flowers all matched Shen Yijia's.

   The most important thing is that there is no sign of fighting in the study, which means that the person who started it is very likely to be extremely trusted by Xuanyuan Ce.

  Because of trust, we will let the other party succeed without any precaution.

   It seems that all the evidence points to Shen Yijia.

   Not only that, the guards at the gate also pointed out on the spot that Song Jingchen had asked the prince to return to the house last night.

   "Say, it's a coincidence that the prince came back not long after this young master left his forefoot.

   The subordinate even mentioned to the prince, who just nodded and didn’t speak a word…”

   Xuanyuan Qi looked at Song Jingchen sharply: "I'll give you a chance to explain."

  The curfew in Xuanyuan Kingdom was late. In the middle of Hai Shi, Song Jingchen had to go out at night even if there was any urgent matter, just to confirm whether King Jing'an had returned to his residence?

  Why confirm this? It is inevitable that people will feel that he is asking for Shen Yijia, so that it is convenient for her to start.

  Song Jingchen pursed his lips, cupped his hands and said, "The prince left a token in the foreign minister's house. The foreign minister was afraid that the prince would be in a hurry, so he sent it there overnight. Hearing that the prince did not go back, the foreign minister specially went to the palace again."

   After he finished speaking, he took out a token from his arms, which was the one Xuanyuan Ce gave to Shen Yijia.

   It's not that he doesn't want to tell the truth, but it's not Xuanyuan Ce who is sitting on it. Even if he said it, the monarch and the Queen Mother Zhou wouldn't believe it.

   I'm not sure, but they will think that he is deliberately framing the Yu Clan, and they are more convinced that their motive is to avenge Ji Luo.

   After all, according to what they said, Xuanyuan Ce was the one who had a bad heart, and Mrs. Yu was the one who intervened.

   Killing Xuanyuan Ce and blaming the Yu Clan was just one shot with two birds.

   Looking at the token presented, Xuanyuan Qi felt another sadness in his heart, he waved his hand and motioned for the servant to go to the palace to lead someone.

  The palace was close, and the guards who watched the night were brought in quickly, which also confirmed that Song Jingchen's remarks were true.

   It would take half an hour to go from Xuanyuance's other courtyard to the palace. According to the time when the servants in the other courtyard saw the veiled woman, Xuanyuance had already returned to the other courtyard when Song Jingchen arrived at the palace, and he had even been murdered.

  Although this does not rule out Shen Yijia's suspicion, it at least overturns the possibility that Song Jingchen was going to step on the spot.

   But for the Queen Mother Zhou, who was eager to find the murderer to avenge her son, the previous evidence was enough.

   "Emperor, the real murderer who killed your brother is right in front of you, you still haven't ordered..."

  Shen Yijia opened her mouth to say something, Song Jingchen took the lead and said: "The empress dowager knows that, if foreign ministers and inner sons really come to avenge their mother, they can start in Phoenix Town, why do they need to go deep into the hinterland and wait until they arrive in Fengcheng?

  The empress dowager's pain of bereavement can be understood by foreign ministers, but also deeply regretful. But because of this, it is even more necessary to investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, let the real murderer go unpunished. Wouldn't it mean that the relatives will suffer and the enemies will be happy? Under the prince's nine springs, how do you rest your eyes? "

   "Presumptuous!" The mother beside the queen mother scolded sharply.

"The foreign minister does not intend to offend, please forgive the empress dowager." Song Jingchen bent down, touched the ground with his forehead, and continued: "Your Majesty should know that foreign ministers come to your country to ask for His Majesty, but if there is no help from the prince, the foreign ministers It may be difficult to even see His Majesty. At such a time, how could the foreign ministers and the inner son be so vicious to the prince, how is this different from digging a grave?"

   Xuanyuan Qi tightened his hand on the armrest, gritted his teeth and asked, "It seems that you know who the real murderer is?"

  How could he not hear the sound of Song Jingchen's words?

   Song Jingchen's remarks seemed to excuse himself and Shen Yijia, but they were actually reminding him.

   Don't just take Ace's death as a simple personal grudge.

   Instead, you should think about who is Ah Ce getting in his way?

   He was gone, and the murderer pointed at Shen Yijia, who was inextricably linked with Daxia. Who would be the beneficiary in the end?

  How could Xuanyuan Qi know that Song Jingchen didn't deliberately go the other way and frame Wu's envoys?

  After all, if he really believed Song Jingchen's words, then Song Jingchen would be the one who would benefit in the end.

  The real murderer who killed A Ce, he will not let go, the envoys of Wu State are suspected, and so is Song Jingchen.

   However, Song Jingchen did not directly point out the murderer as he thought, only said: "The foreign minister does not know, but if your majesty gives the foreign minister some time, the foreign minister will definitely be able to find out."

   Xuanyuan Qi squinted his eyes, thinking about it in his heart, but he was worried that Queen Mother Zhou would not be able to accept it.

   "Queen Mother..."

   "Aijia just wants to know who killed Aijia's son."

   Empress Dowager Zhou would say so, so it can be seen that she still listened to Song Jingchen's words after all.

"My son knows." Xuanyuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "I can give you five days, but she has to stay in the palace, if you can't catch the real murderer after five days, I will let her Pay for my second brother's life..."

   She was referring to Shen Yijia.

   This means to keep Shen Yijia as a hostage.

  Song Jingchen's pupils shrank: "Your Majesty..."

   "Yes." Shen Yijia raised her head and looked at Song Jingchen: "Xianggong, I believe in you."

   Looking at Shen Yijia's trusting eyes, Song Jingchen clenched his fists, lowered his eyelashes and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

   Xuanyuan Ye, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, wanted to say more, but suddenly there was a tingling pain in her arm, she turned her head: "Mother concubine?"

   Mrs. Yu came back to her senses, quickly released her hand, pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and choked: "Ye'er, listen to your uncle, your father... won't die in vain."

  ————

  Bottle: Believe me, Jiajia will not be wronged.

   In addition: I saw a lot of people hate Xuanyuan Ce before, are you happy that he died?

  Tell me who else I hate, and I do it together.

   After all, I am a big fan of you stinky treasures!

  Queen Mother: White-haired people send black-haired people.

  Bottle: No, Xuanyuan Ce has white hair.

   (Haha, skin it. It's not uncomfortable or uncomfortable, I'll make you happy)
