Chapter 152

"Prince An Jun is going to attack." Ji Lingchen said suddenly.The butler was taken aback by this nonsensical sentence, and looked at his master in confusion.Although Ji Lingchen was deserted, what did it mean to say something that had nothing to do with the death of the emperor.

"It will be done soon." Soon, Qin An'an will be available.Ji Lingchen didn't continue, and walked out of the house wearing the clothes sent by the housekeeper.The housekeeper was left standing alone.

Although there was no sunlight in the morning, the housekeeper's face was reflected very clearly. If you look carefully, you can find that the traces on that ravine face have faded a lot at this moment. A person's appearance can change, but when The white hair that proves the years has quietly turned black, and when the wrinkles gradually fade, youth makes the whole face look like another person.

The housekeeper with an unfamiliar face was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile, then sighed again, and said, "The old general will go out, the old general will go out, and it's my turn to be a suave veteran."

……

The news of the emperor's death spread like flying across the entire Lin City, and the people were panic-stricken. In this spring season, the real dragon emperor of the Anping Dynasty returned, and the prince killed a child. He planned to gamble on an unknown future with all his worth.

Zhao Jin looked at her second brother worriedly, and said, "Second brother, Your Majesty is like this, what is the current situation in the court?"

"You and I can guess what your Majesty is thinking." Brother Zhao interrupted his younger sister: "Don't say these things outside, to save trouble, Linjing City is very chaotic recently."

"Yeah," Brother Zhao also came over upon hearing the words, and nodded Zhao Jin's head: "You are a blunt person, so I don't know what's wrong with it. I see that it's best to stay in the mansion obediently these days. So as not to cause trouble."

Zhao Jin pushed his hand away: "I am also worried about my father. My father seems to be very anxious these days, and I don't know what to do. Your Majesty's death came too suddenly. This capital city will be a big one in the future." Who can say what the situation will be?" Zhao Jin, who was always optimistic, also felt a little worried at the moment. The dragons have no leader, and the court without the emperor is really going to be okay?After all, the Queen Mother is old.Even if he came out to preside over the overall situation at this moment, he might not be able to suppress it, and it was still very worrying.

Second Brother Zhao patted Zhao Jin on the head: "You are young and always thinking about what to do with these things. Now you might as well just stay at home and embroider the dowry. This is the serious thing. I think my brother-in-law is really disrespectful." It's ridiculous, I don't know how to treat you well, seeing you messing around every day."

Zhao Jin curled her lips, and was about to refute her second brother's words, but saw the servant rushing in, with a panicked expression on his face: "Eldest young master, second young master, it's not good, a group of officers and soldiers are coming outside. Come to our house to catch someone!"

Master Zhao is not in the mansion at the moment, he went out early in the morning, there are only two young masters in the mansion.Brother Zhao became anxious when he heard it: "What officers and soldiers, who are you arresting?"

Eldest Young Master Zhao should be more prudent, interrupted Second Brother Zhao, just looked at the servant and said, "What's going on?"

The family member was about to cry, and he couldn't articulate what to say urgently. He just said: "I don't know, those officers and soldiers are vicious, and they are shouting to arrest the murderer who murdered His Majesty. Young master, what should I do?"

"Assassinate His Majesty?" Zhao Jin stood up in surprise: "Isn't Your Majesty... seriously ill? Why did you become murdered again? What are you doing in our house? Is it possible that our house will also murder His Majesty? It's just nonsense !"

"Little sister, don't make trouble." Brother Zhao frowned: "This matter is no small matter. Since the officers and soldiers came outside, I guess I heard some rumors. Second brother, take care of my little sister. I'll go out and have a look." After saying that, he lifted the corner of his robe ready to go out.Unexpectedly, before he could take a step, he heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from the courtyard, a large group of officers and soldiers rushed in, blocking the courtyard completely, and surrounded the three brothers and sisters.

Big brother Zhao said coldly: "Everyone, dare to ask what happened in the mansion to trouble you to work so hard?"

"Young master of the Zhao family," the leading official also sneered: "Your Zhao family plotted to poison His Majesty, the evidence is convincing. A heinous crime, an unforgivable crime. Take it away!"

"What a mess," Zhao Jin said angrily. Seeing the officers and soldiers who came forward to arrest him, she began to resist: "Why did our Zhao family murder His Majesty, what evidence? Don't make false claims here. My Zhao family has been loyal for many years How can you allow your name to be so casually slandered!"

The officer and soldier smiled, Brother Zhao stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Jin's resistance, and said in a low voice: "Little sister, be quiet, don't do anything, this matter is strange, don't make trouble until the truth comes out!"

Zhao Jin naturally listened to her elder brother's words. Although she was unwilling, she obediently withdrew her movements.But the second brother Zhao quit, and asked impulsively: "If you don't make it clear, don't even try to take us out of this door. My Zhao family is not empty, how can we tolerate such slander!"

"Miss Zhao wants evidence, right?" The leader of the officers and soldiers also seemed a little impatient, with an indescribably weird expression on his face: "Do you remember the two ginseng that Ms. Zhao sent into the palace a few days ago? However, it was tested by Divine Doctor Xia himself, and it was poisoned. His Majesty drank the soup with ginseng slices that day, and the poison came out. Your Zhao family is so vicious that you sent such a poison into the palace. If you want to murder His Majesty, you dare to say that your Zhao family is wronged!"

Zhao Jin was stunned, Second Brother Zhao was a little strange, looked at Zhao Jin and said, "Little sister... what's going on?" He naturally knew what was going on, Zhao Jin just asked him to help steal those two ginseng, these two ginseng Although ginseng is precious, it is not irreplaceable to the Zhao family.That day, the second brother Zhao only heard Zhao Jin say that he was helping a friend, and he was also very warm-hearted, so he naturally agreed.But what is going on with the words of this officer and soldier now?Brother Zhao naturally wouldn't believe that his little sister was really a sinner who murdered the emperor, but how did all this happen?
Brother Zhao saw the strange expressions of Zhao Jin and Second Brother Zhao, he understood a little bit, looked at Zhao Jin sternly, and asked, "Jin'er, what's going on?"

When Zhao Jin was asked so seriously by her elder brother, she also came back to her senses, shook her head and said: "No, elder brother, that day Ying'er asked me for two ginseng for your majesty's health, I thought about the ginseng from our hometown. If there were some, they stole them out, but never poisoned them! I definitely didn’t do it, I didn’t intend to poison His Majesty, besides, what did I do to poison His Majesty!” Zhao Jin said the last sentence, already a little sober, looking Said so to the head of the official.

Brother Zhao frowned and looked at Zhao Jin, but now was not the time to criticize the younger sister, besides, Brother Zhao also knew that Zhao Jin would definitely not be the one who poisoned her.Their Zhao family has always been wise and safe, and they are loyal to His Majesty's faction.Although now because of the relationship between Zhao Jin and Wen Zhizhi, he already has the consciousness to stand on the emperor's side, but he didn't show it clearly.Besides, although their family's status among the military officials in the capital is not low, they are definitely not high.Thinking of this, Big Brother Zhao said to the chief officer: "Little sister is definitely not someone who would do such a thing. I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding."

But the chief official didn't answer Brother Zhao's words, he just waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, Master Zhao, this is not the time to bargain, there is no room for negotiation. We are just following orders, and these explanations are left behind. Let’s talk in prison.” After saying that, he turned to his men behind him and said, “Take him away!”

The Zhao family didn't dare to resist so blatantly because they were scruples about the orders from above, and it would not be worth the loss if they would be charged with a bigger crime.Therefore, although the second brother Zhao and Zhao Jin were angry in their hearts, they still forcibly endured the tone and were taken away by the officials along with the eldest brother Zhao.Brother Zhao winked at the servant in the mansion before he left. That servant was the servant who had been with Brother Zhao all the time. Seeing this scene, he also stood aside silently, and waited for the officials to take him away and start to seal up the entire mansion. Only then did he sneak out.

......

The news that the Zhao family was seized reached Wen Zhizhi's ears in an instant. Wen Zhizhi was busy with the emperor's affairs these few days, but he didn't want the Zhao family to catch fire at this time.Surprised and angry, he said almost without thinking: "This is a false accusation! It's impossible!"

The colleague who was familiar with him looked at Wen Zhi and knew: "Zhi Zhi, although you have deep affection for the girl of the Zhao family, you should not act rashly now. It is a troubled time, and someone in the Zhao family is obviously premeditated. What kind of trap, don't stab yourself into it."

Wen Zhizhi is not a fool, and he also knows that there may be some hidden tricks in it, but he probably still has the temperament of the Zhao family to protect his weaknesses. Zhao Jin is now his future wife, what kind of man can't even protect his own woman? .Wen Zhizhi also had an idea in his heart, so he didn't answer their words.Just as he was thinking about his own affairs, it was Pei Zihua who walked in quickly. He glanced at Wen Zhizhi, took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Wen Zhizhi. Wen Zhizhi asked, "Whose is it?"

Pei Zihua smiled: "My lord."

Ji Lingchen sent a letter to Wen Zhizhi at this time, and his colleagues suddenly became excited. Could it be that there was news from the emperor, and hurriedly urged: "Open it quickly, is there any news?"

Wen Zhizhi read the letter quickly, and then said: "No, it's just about the Zhao family."

Pei Zihua said thoughtfully, "Oh? What does the prince mean?"

"He told us not to act rashly, wait." Wen Zhi knew.

……

In the palace, Dong Ying'er just walked out of the Compassionate Ning Palace. Since Xia Qing came that day, it was diagnosed that the emperor died of poison, so Dong Ying'er was naturally inseparable.All the questioning eyes that day could almost make a person collapse, and Dong Yinger did indeed collapse, because someone found poison in the emperor's decoction in the medicinal food room, and the poison came from two old ginseng.And the source of these two old ginseng is Zhao Jin.

Dong Yinger couldn't argue, but at the last moment someone came forward to prove that it was indeed Zhao Jin who came to visit Dong Yinger with some gifts brought into the palace that day.Those two old ginseng were also among the gifts, and even the newly appointed Eunuch Chen also testified to this.But even so, Dong Yinger's suspicion was still not cleared, because Zhao Jin had no reason to murder the emperor, even if he murdered the emperor, it was too obvious to do so.Where can there be such obvious poison?

In the end, at the last moment, it was a maid beside Dong Yinger who said timidly, "Maybe Miss Zhao's family didn't want to harm His Majesty, but the old counselor gave it to Empress Xiuyi in the first place."

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly became enlightened, and it was probably the same.Zhao Jin came to see Dong Yinger, and brought two old ginseng, which was poisonous, Dong Yinger didn't know, but thought that it might be better for the emperor to use such a precious thing, who knew that the emperor would die after eating it.But it turned out that Zhao Jin originally wanted to kill Dong Ying'er, but in the end he killed the emperor by mistake.Zhao Jin really had no reason to harm the emperor, but Dong Ying'er might not be able to do so. Many women in the palace and harem knew that Dong Ying'er had become estranged from Zhao Jin since she entered the palace. Alienation must be because of some festivals.And Zhao Jin held a grudge because of the festival, so it is not impossible to kill Dong Ying'er.

It's just that the matter has not yet been fully revealed. Although we already know about it, we just arrested the Zhao family. Although Dong Ying'er was not the murderer who directly killed the emperor, the emperor died because of her.The palace was busy these few days, no one cared about her, but everyone secretly guessed that this Empress Xiuyi was really bad luck, she finally got favored, but the emperor passed away after not being favored for long.After the death of the car, this matter was brought up again. It was Miss Zhao's family who committed the murder, but she was also implicated in her life. Most likely, the end result will not be any better.

And Dong Ying'er did show a pitiful scene, the sad look on her face made people feel distressed, and only felt that this woman was really innocent.After leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace, Dong Yinger first went back to her bedroom. She changed her clothes and hadn't washed and washed since yesterday. Lie in.

The water vapor slowly evaporated, and Dong Yinger's face showed a very delicate color. She seemed very happy, and even had a smile on her face.

Things went even smoother than expected, and Dong Yinger didn't know whether she felt relieved or sad, but those feelings were ignored.What she wants to see most now is what is Zhao Jin's situation now, and it doesn't matter how much Wen Zhizhi likes her?If he committed such a serious crime, it would be difficult for even the immortal Lao Tzu to save him.They should also be allowed to taste the taste of despair, which was exactly what she felt when she entered the palace.At that time, no one saved her, but now Wen Zhizhi wants to take this muddy water, he will only drag himself into it, and I don't know if Wen Zhizhi will regret the decision he made at the beginning, if the person he chose was She probably wouldn't be in the same situation as she is today.Wen Zhizhi is always suitable for smart women.
