Chapter 1210, door-to-door interrogation
Chu Qing was told inexplicably, but at the end he was still confused. He fell to the end and looked at the two people who were slowly leaving and talking and laughing, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Whether it was Chu Liuyue and King Cheng, they rejected him. He was obviously the one who should inherit the throne the most. Why didn't they look down on him? It seemed that he was a beggar.
One day, he will let them see who is the most noble and who is the one who laughs to the end.
When Chu Qing returned to the mansion, the people from the Ministry of Justice were asking some servants in the mansion. The Ministry of Justice had notified him before. Seeing that the leader was Wen Xichi, Chu Qing calmed down and walked over with a smile, bowing to him, "Master Wen."
"I've seen the prince." Wen Xichi stood up and bowed to him.
"What can Lord Wen find out?" Chu Qing asked kindly. He had basically never had any contact with such noble young men in the capital in the past. Now it is rare to have such an opportunity to get close to him.
"It seems that I am looking for something. Is there something annoying in the Qing County Prince's Mansion?" Wen Xichi pointed to the case file that had just been tried and said.
The man in black suddenly appeared and searched one after another. I didn't know whether to look for someone or something, but of course it might be to look for the Prince of Qing. If you want to assassinate the Prince of Qing, you must find someone like him.
Wen Xichi felt that this was not very credible. Since he had made such a big move, he had some understanding of Chu Qing's whereabouts. When should he find it after searching through these things? Looking at the places the man in black has checked, many places are just rooms for servants, but they are farther away.
The strange way to search is not like asking for trouble from the owner, but like searching for something casually. Chu Qing hid something, and it may appear in a remote place?
It has something to do with the little official lost by the Ministry of Justice?
"There is only a little place in my palace. No one comes here on weekdays. The population of the palace is simple. If there is anything, I will come here early. I have only found it now. It can be seen that it is not an important thing, nor does it seem to be looking for something. I think it is to assassinate me!"
Chu Qing frowned and said, "Being assassinated is the best way to clear his suspicion."
"The prince thinks it's an assassination?" Wen Xichi raised his eyebrows and asked, with a faint brown color in his eyes, as light as glass, reflecting his handsome face a little more suspicious and cold.
Chu Qing couldn't see what Wen Xichi meant, so he could only smile and said with uncertainty, "I can't say this, it's true that those people rushed into my prince's palace. Speaking of which, I am still confused. Could those men in black still be able to assassinate my mother and Shao Jie'er?"
He just bites this to death, no matter who it is to stab, it is all!
"Can I let me meet Miss Shao Er?" Wen Xichi said in silence.
After Shao Jie'er entered the Qing County Prince's Mansion, her identity was not clear yet. Wen Xichi didn't know what to call her for a while, so he used the earliest title.
"Want to ask Shao Jie'er about this?" Chu Qing frowned. If possible, he was not willing to bring Shao Jie'er in. Jiang's affairs were right in front of him, and Shao Jie'er was also very suspicious.
"Ask her some things. If it is convenient for the Qing prince, the Qing prince can listen to it." Wen Xichi said with a smile.
"Then... OK!" Chu Qing had to agree and waved his hand to send someone to spread the sound of Shao Jie'er.
After a while, Shao Jie'er walked over behind a maid.
, looking at Shao Jie'er quietly lowering her head in front of her, a dark light flashed in Wen Xichi's eyes.
Compared to what she saw in the past, Shao Jie'er was much more at peace. When she was in the Marquis of Xingguo's Mansion, she had never seen her so peacefully.
"I've met Lord Wen." Chu Qing asked Shao Jie'er to come forward to greet him.
Shao Jie'er obediently took two steps forward, saluted respectfully, and then stood aside with her head down.
"Miss Shao Er, where was yesterday?" Wen Xichi asked, and the clerk who was taking the transcript quickly lifted the pen.
"I have been in the mansion and have never even left the door." Shao Jie'er whispered, her voice was very light, and she felt timid, as if she didn't even dare to amplify the sound.
Chu Qing looked at her unhappily, but did not answer the conversation directly.
When Wen Xichi asked Shao Jie'er, it was inappropriate for anything he said.
"What was Miss Shao doing when the fire broke out?" Wen Xichi asked.
"When the fire broke out, I didn't know at the time. I was doing some needlework and thread, which was far away..." Shao Jie'er said hesitantly.
"Didn't you hear a sound?" Wen Xichi said with a serious face.
"There are some, but not very obvious." Shao Jie'er said this and looked at Chu Qing timidly, looking very uneasy.
"When did Miss Shao Er know that something happened?" Wen Xichi asked again.
"Later... Later... when it became so popular, someone assassinated our prince... I was very scared, so I hid with the maid. Later, our prince sent someone to tell me that it was okay." Shao Jie'er lowered her head.
"Miss Shao Er has been hiding and hasn't come out to see the situation?"
"I have never encountered such a situation at that time... I was very scared... so I hid..." Shao Jieer shook her head, looking frightened.
"Miss Shao Er, I heard that you are helping the Prince of Qing to manage the backyard. What did you find in the past?" Wen Xichi stopped staring at Shao Jie'er and asked about the fire. After a change of words, he changed the topic.
Shao Jie'er suddenly looked up, "Mr. Wen made a mistake. This backyard matter is not something I am in charge of."
"It's not Miss Shao Er, is it the Prince of Qing who is managing it himself?" Wen Xichi asked curiously.
"I'm..." Shao Jie'er wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Qing's unhappy face. "It's true that Jie'er is managing the backyard, but the name is not right and the words are not right, so please don't spread it."
This means that what Shao Jieer said just now is a refusal.
"I was negligent and thought that the Prince of Qing was in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard. The concubine had been quiet for many years and would not be willing to interfere with such cumbersome things. Unexpectedly, Miss Shao Er's current identity is not the real female protagonist of the inner courtyard." Wen Xichi nodded suddenly and bowed to Chu Qing to apologize.
Shao Jie'er's face turned red and then turned pale again.
Her identity is also very embarrassed at the Qing County Prince's Mansion. As her identity, she was also the position of a concubine. Chu Qing also said this at the beginning, but in fact, after entering the Qing County Prince's Mansion, I have not yet understood it. I said that the official concubine did not come in, so I will not mention this position.
Shao Jie'er wanted to marry this and that one time ago, which made Chu Qing very angry and did not dare to mention this matter. Shao Jing was unwilling to care about Shao Jie'er's affairs, so that Shao Jie'er didn't want to find someone to support her, especially after just a few days in the mansion, I heard that the concubine asked the servants to call her Miss Shao Er, so
It's like an unmarried daughter.
The title is the name of an unmarried daughter, but it is done by a married daughter. It humiliated the Xingguo Marquis's Mansion, but Shao Jie'er had to endure it and did not even dare to let people know that she tried hard to please Chu Qing and the concubine. The concubine was mean, but Chu Qing's attitude gradually improved under her pleasing, and she also asked the people around her to call her Concubine Shao.
But in front of the concubine, the few who were famous around the concubine still didn't give her face and still called her Miss Shao Er, which was almost a slap in the face.
But even if it was a slap in the face, Shao Jie'er had to endure it.
She used to think that the concubine was a quiet and peaceful person. After entering the Qing County Prince's Mansion, she realized that she had just left the wolf's nest and entered the tiger's den. This Qing County Prince's concubine was definitely not the kind of gentle woman who had lived in Yuhui Temple for a long time and had a peaceful heart. This concubine was even better than Jiang's.
Shao Jie'er suffered a lot and was beaten.
In front of this concubine, she dared not say a word or even a word.
This is also the reason why Wen Xichi hurriedly looked up when she was managing the backyard with the concubine. The concubine held everything in the backyard with one hand. She was a small and not just a legitimate concubine, so she dared not rebel against her, and she dared not compete with her. This powerful woman who clearly likes power very much.
He strongly controlled everything in the mansion in her hands. Even in the outer courtyard, I heard that most of it was under her control, and Chu Qing actually didn't have much control.
Shao Jie'er was very afraid of the concubine, and was very afraid that the concubine would get angry. She just carefully pleased Chu Qing, hoping that Chu Qing would provide protection for herself.
It has been effective recently. Chu Qing said a few words to her. Although the concubine still looked down on her, she was not as strict as before. She thought she had won Chu Qing's heart in the end.
Now I heard Chu Qing say that his reputation was not right, and he felt sad for a moment, his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head, fearing that Wen Xichi would see the tears in his eyes.
As the daughter of Duke Xingguo, she looked down on many ladies, but now she has reached this point. She feels that one day she will die in the Qing County Prince's Mansion, and die here inexplicably.
She had also seen the concubine Ms. Mo who was about to enter the door. This one was not a good match. When she came here last time, she took the opportunity to slap herself twice. The concubine didn't say anything at the scene. Only Chu Qing frowned unhappily, but she just frowned, and scolded herself and asked herself to apologize to Miss Mo.
The daughter of a small official actually climbed onto her head. Shao Jie'er was very unwilling to accept it and deeply hated her. The handkerchief was thrust tightly, as if it was her own thoughts. Using Chu Qing's side corner, she raised her eyes and secretly looked at Wen Xichi's eyes. Then she raised her hand and pointed at it quietly. There was a very obvious tall tree in that direction, which was a little far from here.
"You are polite, if Lord Wen is fine, let Jie'er go back. There are so many people here." Chu Qing looked at the people from the Ministry of Justice around him and said.
"I'm really sorry, please go back with Miss Shao Er!" Wen Xichi nodded and said politely.
"I won't take... Miss Shao Er back!" Chu Qing ordered to the maid on the side. The maid dared not hesitate to take Shao Jie'er away. No one except Wen Xichi noticed that Shao Jie'er bit her teeth hard on the corner of her lips when Chu Qing said "Miss Shao Er". Until now, she is still Miss Shao Er, and her eyebrows are stained with sadness and hatred!
