Chapter 135 Taking advantage of the situation of the DPRK
These words were serious, but before she could say anything, Yao An helped Wang Song stand up, got into the chariot and left without giving her a chance to argue.
Seeing Wang Song walking away, Deming smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu. I think the young master is just angry, and he will be fine after a while."
Listening to what he said, I guess I heard it all.
Sure enough, the young master suddenly became angry just now because there was someone outside the door.
Yu Qiansi felt a little relieved now, but she guessed the purpose of Deming's coming, and her heart started beating again.
In the dazzling light outside the door, there was a black shadow standing quietly, like a thorn and a stick of incense.
As expected, Deming smiled and said: "Master Yu, Your Majesty summons you to go to Yuchen Hall with Wuya Wei Boyi."
What is supposed to come, will come...
I rarely bother to make a calculation, isn't it just for this moment?
After entering the Yuchen Palace, Deming, who was one step ahead of them, was already lying in Jiang Jiqing's ear, whispering something.
Jiang Jiqing nodded slightly, smiled casually, and asked curiously: "Did Mr. Yu have a fight with my cousin?"
Boyi was extremely worried along the way. Because Deming was nearby, he couldn't ask questions, but he didn't expect Jiang Jiqing to ask so straightforwardly.
He also turned to look at Yu Qiansi beside him. She had put on a smiling mask, lowered her head and replied: "Your Majesty, it's not really a quarrel, it's just a few arguments about the case."
The matter they were arguing about was indeed related to the case, and such a reply was not considered deceiving.
These were paradoxical words again, but he didn't expect that she would treat the emperor the same way, and Boyi felt a little more balanced.
Jiang Jiqing frowned after reviewing the case.
Being so alienated from etiquette made him notice something unusual.
"Master Jade, what happened today——"
"——Today's matter is indeed not as simple as the court meeting." She took the initiative: "I originally planned to explain the whole story to His Majesty after the court meeting."
Seeing that she was so knowledgeable, Jiang Jiqing didn't know how to speak, so he had to listen to what she said in detail.
"The person who died in the Zhaixing Tower case that day was not Princess Lin'an herself. It was Ma Jian who killed a palace maid in the inner court in advance and threw her from a high altitude to make it look like the princess was dead."
"What?!" When Jiang Jiqing heard this, he stood up in shock and asked eagerly: "Then Sister Lin'an is still alive?"
Boyi's breath was suffocated, and he froze on the spot as if his mind was exploding. All the doubts were connected together in an instant.
Her words made him understand the most crucial point. In this way, everything made sense...
Yu Qiansi lowered her eyes and shook her head: "Originally...Princess Lin'an could have escaped."
It's a pity that fate has its way with people.
"Ma Jian spent a lot of money to buy a magic face from Yunzhong City, and used it on Princess Lin'an, turning her into the appearance of that palace maid. But for some reason, Princess Lin'an ran out of hiding, and she didn't know what she encountered.
The man was pushed into the pond and drowned."
Sure enough, Boyi closed his eyes and remembered Ma Jian's madness by the pond when he entered the palace that day, and felt a lot of sadness in his heart.
Yu Qiansi's simple words made Jiang Jiqing, who had just begun to feel hopeful, fall back to the throne.
For a moment, the hall was silent, and the three of them had their own thoughts.
"But sister...since you've hidden yourself, why did you run out?" Could it be that you encountered some danger and had to escape?
Jiang Jiqing thought of Ma Jian. Did he want to hurt Lin'an's sister? Or was Ma Jian the murderer of her sister?
He never expected that the female corpse Yu Qiansi found by the pond that day would actually be his sister...
"Ma Jian is not the murderer," Yu Qiansi continued, seeming to have guessed Jiang Jiqing's thoughts: "Ma Jian took leave that day and has not been in or out of the palace."
However, what actually happened can only be speculated now.
She thought that maybe Princess Lin'an didn't know what Ma Jian had done, let alone that her face had been changed. This could explain why she didn't want to call for help when she was pushed into the water and hung by the pond. She must be worried that if she was
When a person discovers that he is still alive, it will bring untold danger to Ma Jian.
For this reason, I would rather die without my strength.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiansi's eyes darkened slightly, and her hands hanging at her sides were clenched into fists.
Lin'an may have known about the Zhaixing Tower. Not knowing why, she wanted to find Ma Jian to find out, but she met the murderer halfway. And for some reason, the murderer knew the true identity of Lin'an under the palace maid's face. In order to do it
In the case of the princess, Lin'an was pushed into the pond and killed.
Just a little bit, just a little bit, Lin'an will be free.
It's a pity that she sneaked out to look for Ma Jian, but Ma Jian took a leave of absence to look for her because he found that she was not in the hiding place. This was the result of a strange combination of circumstances and ended up in today's situation.
"What about the real culprit who killed the princess? Do you have any clues?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Ma Jian asked to confess everything just to help catch the real culprit behind the scenes. Now that everyone thinks that the princess case has been solved, it will be easier for the real culprit to be exposed."
"Oh? Is that Ma Jian really so kind? Then what is his purpose after doing so much? Could it be that he is begging me to spare his life?"
"No, Ma Jian...is willing to die. I just ask Your Majesty to let his family go."
"Master Yu, do you really think that I don't know about the rumors in the palace?" Jiang Jiqing leaned back, hidden in the shadows behind the imperial case, with an expression that was difficult to distinguish: "Ma Jian, I am on good terms with Sister Lin'an.
He just wanted to use this opportunity to help Lin'an escape."
"You blame all these achievements on him just because you want me to agree to your trick so that Sister Lin'an's body does not have to be put into the Princess Mausoleum, right?"
This was also the first time that Yu Qiansi noticed that the person on the throne had a faint imperial expression, which was shocking.
Her palms were sweaty, but she didn't want to show weakness.
"Your Majesty, Ma Jian has now single-handedly ended the conflict between the two dynasties and gained an advantage for Da Sheng in peace talks. Now everyone thinks that the princess has entered the mausoleum. If there are any changes at this time, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives.
I realize that if the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty also heard the rumors in the palace and thought that Princess Lin'an and Ma Jian had an affair, it would be of no use to Dasheng!"
"Yu Qiansi, are you now like those old academics, coming to tell me what to say about 'putting the country first'?"
"I'm scared." She knelt on the ground, clenched her hands into fists, but refused to give an inch.
"Everyone says that you, Mr. Yu, do not understand the affairs of the government. In my opinion, you are mistaken. Mr. Yu does not understand the affairs of the government. You are using the power I gave you to decide the case to play with the two countries.
Now you are threatening me with state affairs, how powerful it is!"
Boyi had already figured out what Yu Qiansi was thinking today. She was really courageous! Not only did she scheme against the emperor, she also told him openly. I don't know if she was smart or stupid!
