Chapter 370: Is It a Chess Game?
Mu Qingqian looked at Gong Lingrui and said, "Yesterday, after the little prince and that girl left, I went to deliver breakfast to the prince. Seeing that the prince looked bad, he asked. The prince looked very distressed at the time, and kept murmuring that the witch was back again!"
"Later!" Gong Lingrui said.
Pussed his lips, Mu Qingqian continued, "I said I wanted to find the imperial physician to show the prince. The prince said it would be useless. He was poisoned by the witch, and the imperial physician could not do it either!"
"At that time, the little prince was not here, I made a decision privately and invited the imperial physician to come to the palace guard to check. At that time, when the imperial physician came, the prince was already unconscious!"
"After that, you will know, the little prince!" she said.
Gong Lingrui narrowed his eyes and asked for a moment, "You said, it was the prince who told you that he was poisoned by the witch? When did he get it?"
He thought to himself that if this was the case, he would have left the mansion with him early yesterday, and had been with Zhuyue since then. When he was not with her, he would have no chance to return to the palace to poison Prince Jun, and then rushed to that house. That was... the night when he chased Feng Zhuyue and threw her away.
Thinking of this, Gong Lingrui narrowed his eyes again.
He looked at Mu Qingqian, but Mu Qingqian shook his head.
"What's going on with her accomplice as the emperor said?" he asked again.
When Mu Qingqian heard this, her eyes turned red and her whole body trembled slightly.
Gong Lingjun stepped forward and said, "When the father received the news, he got up from the sickbed to come to the palace. Who knew that as soon as we entered here, we heard the screams of exclamations in the room. When I rushed in, a masked woman pointed her sword!"
He said, pointing at Mu Qingqian.
Mu Qingqian took over the conversation and sobbed, "When the man saw me serving by the prince's bed, he must have known that the prince told me all the things, and wanted to kill me to silence me. If the fourth prince had not arrived in time and blocked the sword for me, I'm afraid..."
As he said that, he wiped his tears with a brocade placard.
"After fighting with the fourth prince, she felt that she was defeated, so she stopped entangling and pointed her sword at the prince on the bed!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Gong Lingjun.
"The fourth prince took action to block the sword that stabbed the prince again. She was so angry that she was embarrassed, but she didn't want to give up, so she took the opportunity to slap the prince and ran away!"
"With her, there is also a man in a blue robe in ink and wash, calling her junior sister!"
Mu Qingqian said, looking up at Gong Lingrui.
Gong Lingrui was angry, and his hands clenched his fists again, and his eyebrows and eyes trembled.
Mu Qingqian said again, "The prince is here,... before falling down, he said he must kill that witch!"
Gong Lingrui looked at Gong Lingjun, but the other party did not say a word, looking at Mu Qingqian with some confusion.
"What she said is true?" Gong Lingrui asked.
Gong Lingjun frowned, but nodded, and then said, "But, I always feel that something is strange!"
Emperor Jingxuan was so tired that he couldn't hold on. When he heard Gong Lingjun's words, he stood up from the rattan chair and said weakly, "Where is something strange? Today, today~" as he said, coughing violently. Tianaka kept following his back and advised Gong Lingjun to say, "Fourth Prince, the Imperial Doctor said, the emperor should rest, don't be too emotional!" Gong Lingjun pursed his lips, nodded slowly, and stopped talking.
Gong Lingrui frowned and never stretched. He lived Mu Qingqian's words in his mind over and over again. Like Gong Lingjun, he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.
He looked at Gong Lingjun, but the other party shook his head gently at him, and he gave up.
"Uncle Is tired too, please send you back to the palace!" he said.
Emperor Jingxuan narrowed his eyes and leaned against the rattan chair. Hearing this, he nodded weakly, opened a slit with his eyes and looked at Gong Lingjun and said, "You stay here to help with the matter. As for the funeral, let the Emperor Master watch for a while, someone will come in the palace!"
"I will draw some imperial guards and imperial guards to help you and bring the culprit to justice!" He looked at Gong Lingrui and said.
Gong Lingrui's eyebrows and eyes trembled slightly, nodded, but refused, "No, this will make it easier to alarm the snake. I have a secret guard here!"
"Also, I hope that the matter of my father will not be spread!" he said.
Emperor Jingxuan nodded, thought for a while, and ordered, "I will keep my mouth tight on what I have done today!"
Everyone nodded and responded.
When Emperor Jingxuan left, Gong Lingrui and Gong Lingjun looked at each other and ordered Zhu Yue, "Take someone and send the little princess back to the Minister of War's Mansion in person!"
When Mu Qingqian heard this, she immediately knelt down and pulled the corner of his robe sobbed, "Little Prince, don't drive me away!"
Gong Lingrui narrowed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at her. For the first time, he helped someone up with his own hands and said to Yan, "Now the royal palace is not peaceful. I still have something to deal with and have no time to take care of you. You are the person involved, and you still need to come forward to identify the murderer!"
"The Minister of War will protect you. When the matter is over, I will go to the Minister of War's office to pick you up, okay?"
Mu Qingqian pursed her lips, lowered her head and thought for a while, nodded, raised her eyes and looked at Gong Lingrui pitifully, and tears fell down again, "The little prince remembers, you must come and pick me up! I'll wait for the little prince!"
"Okay!" Gong Lingrui nodded.
Mu Qingqian turned around step by step and left reluctantly.
Seeing Mu Qingqian leave, Gong Lingrui handed over everything to Shunzi to handle, and said to Gong Lingjun, "Come with me!", then walked out and headed towards his study room. Chasing the wind kept following him, guarding the door of the study room.
After entering the study room, Gong Lingrui turned around and asked straight to the point, "Didn't you say something is wrong, where?"
Gong Lingjun looked at him and did not directly say what he was suspicious, but asked, "Didn't you find out too?"
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Gong Lingrui asked again.
Gong Lingjun nodded, put on the table, picked up a tea bowl and rubbed it in his hand, and said lightly, "You and I have fought against the man who calls Lin'an, and you have seen him more, so you must know that he will not call her "junior sister"!"
"Yes!" Gong Lingrui nodded. He always called her "eighteen".
"If it weren't for him, there would be someone else!" Gong Lingjun said.
Gong Lingruimi frowned. Could it be the man who called Yuzhao? But he had such a fret with Shiba at that time and then attacked her. Will he help her in turn?
Gong Lingjun also thought of this. At the beginning of the Netherworld Palace, the men and women around Yu Meier were Xiaoyao and Yuzhao. When he and Shiba and Lin'an fought, they were with Yu Meier, and the people who fought against Shiba would help her?
Thinking of this, Gong Lingjun thought of the jade bottle that Gong Lingrui took out from his arms just now, frowned slightly and said, "Inner blood, is it really her heart blood?"
Gong Lingrui frowned slightly, then nodded "Yes!", and then informed Gong Lingjun of the whole story.
After hearing this, Gong Lingjun did not make any comments, but said, "What Mu Qingqian said just now is facts, but it is just the past. No one has seen it with his own eyes. Whether it is true or not remains to be confirmed!"
"Do you suspect she is lying?" Gong Lingrui said, "But at that time the father also said that the poison in his body was her who drew it!"
Gong Lingjun naturally knew that the "he" he said refers to Prince Jun.
"If this is the truth, it will definitely come to light. If someone walks such a game of chess for us, then this person... is indeed amazing!" Gong Lingjun rubbed his fingers and said.
"Is it a chess game? You can tell if you look at it!" he said again.
Gong Lingrui narrowed his eyes, raised his eyes, looked at each other, nodded to reach a consensus.
