Chapter 153
After about half an hour, Liang Huanqing slowly woke up. Doctor Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Qing Yin to inform everyone.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Jing is awake!" Qingyin hurriedly ran out and said with a smile to the masters who had been waiting outside for half an hour.
When Qi Wangshu heard this, he ran in quickly without caring about the hierarchy. However, no one had time to pay attention to this at this time.
Qi Wangshu ran to Liang Huanqing's bed and knelt on the ground, holding her hand, looking at her tired face and looking like she was about to cry: "Huanqing... how are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?
Do you want something to eat?"
Qi Wangshu felt sorry for Liang Huanqing, who had been in the palace for so long and had not even eaten dinner yet suffered such a big sin.
Liang Huanqing was weak and dizzy. Her hand was cold, but the hand Qi Wangshu held hers was very hot.
"Princess... where is Jiang Yi?" When Liang Huanqing was unconscious, her mind kept replaying the scene of Jiang Yi crashing to death in front of her. She kept crying, asking Jiang Yi to stop, but she kept repeating it.
He shouted over and over again, but Jiang Yi desperately slammed into the hard wall again and again, and blood immediately poured out.
"Jiang Yi is dead." Qi Wangshu couldn't bear to tell her the truth, but now he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to tell the truth.
Liang Huanqing stopped looking at Qi Wangshu, and instead looked up, slowly closing her eyes, with tears streaming down her sides. She let go of Qi Wangshu's hand and put it under the quilt.
"Huanqing... don't be like this." Qi Wangshu felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw her like this, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down. "Don't be like this. It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you in."
Palace, if this were not the case, Jiang Yi would not have died."
Qi Wangshu knew that Liang Huanqing valued love and justice, and she would never forget Jiang Yi in her life. She would definitely be sad to know that Jiang Yi died.
Before Liang Huanqing fell into coma, she and Jiang Yi were lying back to back in a pool of blood. At this time, her body and hair were all stained with Jiang Yi's solidified blood, and she had a fishy smell that she might not be able to clean off in her lifetime.
Liang Huanqing cried more and more sadly. She slowly put the quilt over her head, not wanting so many people to see her crying.
She was crying silently, but after the quilt was covered over her head, a burst of sobbing could be heard, and the quilt trembled as she cried.
"Huanqing... Huanqing, please don't do this." Qi Wangshu was worried that Liang Huanqing would cover her up with the quilt inside, so he reached out to lift the quilt, but Liang Huanqing pressed the quilt firmly, and Qi Wangshu limply lay aside.
Crying bitterly.
This scene moved everyone present, even Qi Bingyu was no exception.
He turned around and stopped looking at them, but the sobs that reached his ears never went away.
Seeing the two of them crying like this, Lu Huiling thought of Ning Xue, who had always served her. If Ning Xue was the one who died, she would probably feel so uncomfortable.
But the top priority is to find out how Jiang Yi died. Lu Huiling knew that she did not kill Jiang Yi. At most, she was lynched. The force was not strong enough to kill her. But now various signs indicate that Jiang Yi's death was related to her.
There are countless connections, and the only thing that can determine all of this is Liang Huanqing's confession.
Xia Rongxin couldn't bear to see this scene. The older people get, the more compassionate they become. She stepped forward and patted Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing gently. Xia Rongxin knew very well that Liang Huanqing lost her mother when she was young, so she would naturally be more sincere in her feelings.
It is not difficult to explain why after Jiang Yi was arrested, she was so anxious that she came to Minghua Hall to ask for help.
"Huanqing... don't cry. The top priority is to find out who killed Jiang Yi so that Jiang Yi and you can give an explanation." Xia Rongxin has always been sensible and wants to find out the real culprit as soon as possible.
Somewhat selfishly, she concluded that this matter must be related to Lu Huiling.
Lu Huiling's heart suddenly skipped a beat. When she saw Xia Rongxin wanted to question Liang Huanqing, she quickly cleared away the suspicion beforehand: "Since Princess Jing and Jiang Yi were imprisoned, I have been sitting in the main hall waiting for Xu Lan to invite the emperor.
Jiang Yi was definitely not killed by my concubine."
Qi Bingyu turned around and looked at them without saying a word. Although he didn't say anything, he looked at them with a slightly questioning expression. Whether it was public or private, he wanted to know how Jiang Yi died as soon as possible.
.
Liang Huanqing was sobbing in the quilt. She knew best how Jiang Yi died, but Jiang Yi's original intention before dying was to use her own death to blame Lu Huiling, so as to excuse Liang Huanqing's hatred of Lu Hui.
She couldn't live up to Jiang Yi's painstaking efforts and let the person who died in vain be repaid with injustice.
"Huanqing...can you come out and tell me? I'm worried about you..." Qi Wangshu patted Liang Huanqing gently and slowly opened the quilt.
Liang Huanqing obediently let go of the quilt. She looked at Xia Rongxin and Qi Wangshu sitting beside the bed with tearful eyes. She felt inexplicably relieved. At least in the palace, there were still people who cared about her life and death.
Qi Wangshu and Qingyin slowly helped Liang Huanqing sit up. Only then did Liang Huanqing see Lu Huiling behind everyone. Her eyes instantly looked at Lu Huiling like knives. When she looked at Lu Huiling now, she only
He wanted to pull out her muscles and bones to relieve the hatred in his heart.
After Liang Huanqing sat down, Xia Rongxin said politely to Qi Bingyu: "Your Majesty, Huanqing has just woken up and is mentally weak. If you want to ask her, please let me ask you."
Everyone is present at the scene, who asks, aren’t they all the same?
Qi Bingyu nodded and said in a deep voice: "You must enforce the law impartially and not engage in malpractice for personal gain."
"I hereby obey the imperial edict." Xia Rongxin felt blessed, then sat beside Liang Huanqing's bed and touched her damp hair stained with blood.
"Concubine Ming said that you slapped her in the face, strangled her neck and tried to kill her, is it true?" Xia Rongxin's eyes were gentle, and her voice was as gentle as jade, like a trickle, making people linger.
Liang Huanqing looked at Qi Wangshu, then at Lu Huiling, then at Xia Rongxin, nodded slowly and said, "Yes."
Xia Rongxin turned around and glanced at Qi Bingyu, then asked: "After Princess Wangshu left, what did Concubine Ming say to you that made you so rude?"
"Concubine Ming said that she cut Jiang Yi's body into thousands of pieces and threw them into a mass grave." Liang Huanqing cried again as she spoke.
Lu Huiling's expression was a little unnatural, and she pinched the handkerchief in her hand and twisted it back and forth.
Xia Rongxin nodded, looked back at Lu Huiling, and asked, "Concubine Ming, can you explain why you said this to Princess Jing?"
"I was just joking with her. Besides, I didn't kill Jiang Yi. I was just talking. Princess Jing's attitude was not good at that time. I wanted to make her angry." After saying that, Lu Huiling looked at her.
Taking one look at Qi Bingyu's expression, he said to him coquettishly, "I didn't mean to do this."
Qi Bingyu looked at her and said nothing, but what he was thinking in his heart was that it was just a joke after all, it didn't matter, and he didn't mean to blame her at all.
Xia Rongxin looked at Qi Bingyu and saw that his eyes were still calm when looking at Lu Huiling. Her heart sank. She turned to Liang Huanqing and asked: "When Concubine Ming locked you in the side hall, Jiang Yi
Still alive?"
Liang Huanqing glanced at Qi Wangshu again. Qi Wangshu was also eager to know the answer. Just now, Lu Huiling and Xu Lan both said that when they locked Liang Huanqing in the side hall, Jiang Yi was alive. Qi Wangshu
She didn't believe them, she just wanted to hear what Liang Huanqing had to say.
Liang Huanqing looked at Xia Rongxin, her eyes filled with tears. She nodded and said, "Yes."
Hearing her words, Lu Huiling and Xu Lan both breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that now they could conclude that Jiang Yi had committed suicide, presumably because of the savior.
Although they were thinking this, they didn't say it out loud, wanting to hear Xia Rongxin ask more questions.
After Qi Wangshu heard this, he was extremely surprised. Could it be that Jiang Yi committed suicide as Lu Huiling said?
"What state was she in at that time?" Xia Rongxin continued to ask.
"Jiang Yi...Jiang Yi's hands were tied behind her back and she was lying on the ground..." Liang Huanqing looked at Qi Wangshu, tears finally flowed out again, "Her body was covered with whip marks."
They all saw this. When Jiang Yi's body was carried out, it was covered in blood. In addition to the blood from the cracked head, there were also countless whip marks on his body. It seemed that he had been tortured before he died.
Liang Huanqing and Jiang Yi's hands were tied behind their backs. Qi Wangshu was very angry when he saw them. How could Liang Huanqing be the concubine of Chaojing after the three ministers? With her noble status, when could Lu Huiling have her concubines tied behind their backs?
Imprisoned?!
"But what did you do?" Xia Rongxin turned to look at Lu Huiling again and asked word by word.
Lu Huiling struggled internally for a while. When she punished Jiang Yi corporally, she never thought that this would happen, but it was indeed her doing. She admitted bravely: "Yes. Jiang Yi contradicted his concubine at that time.
According to the palace rules, you should be punished, and I also follow the palace rules to do things."
"Follow the palace rules?!" Qi Wangshu couldn't help but burst out again, "Isn't this a private revenge? The maximum number of people who contradict the concubines is twenty times, but there are countless whip marks on Jiang Yi's body. This is also called following.
Palace rules? Where are the palace rules for Concubine Ming?! Do you still think this is Prime Minister Lu’s Mansion?"
"Wang Shu!" Qi Bingyu couldn't help scolding, "Please be quiet and don't interrupt!"
Seeing that his father was so partial to Lu Huiling, Qi Wangshu angrily turned around and stopped looking at them. Lu Huiling was naturally secretly happy, thinking that the emperor did not dislike her.
"Later, Concubine Ming said that after you were imprisoned, she never went to the side hall again, and there was no one to guard the side hall. How did Jiang Yi die?" Xia Rongxin continued to ask.
