Chapter 25 Behind the Scenes
Shangguan Yi's testimony is undoubtedly the most favorable evidence. Daqi's scholars all know that Mr. Shangguan Yi pays the most attention to style and behavior, and will not abandon so many glorious reputation and fame to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.
However, when Qin Yunuan got along with Shangguan Yi, he obviously left for so long, but Shangguan Yi insisted that Qin Yunuan had never left, but just helped her naked, and even was willing to testify for Qin Yunuan.
"Since there is Mr. Shangguan Yi as a guarantee, I naturally want to believe in the innocence of Princess Ping." Emperor Zhaoxuan seemed to be soon moved by Shangguan Yi, and his tone of voice did not hesitate at all.
"In addition, there is another thing to return to the old man's entrance to the palace this time." Shangguan Yi straightened up. His eyebrows were white, but his eyes were still wise. "For the position of national supervisor proposed by the emperor, if the emperor does not dislike the old age of 70, a handful of old bones, old and honorable, he is willing to continue to work for the development of Confucianism in Daqi."
"Good!" Emperor Zhaoxuan came from his heart happily, his eyebrows were flying, and he stroked his palms and praised, "It is a blessing for Daqi that Yi is willing to continue to contribute to Daqi."
"The premise is," Shangguan Yi suddenly changed his words, "the old personnel of Guozi Supervision need to be checked, and they can't continue to stay for those officials who are party-to-private officials to continue to enrich themselves."
"Mr. Shangguan, don't worry," Leng Changxi said lightly, "the relevant people and other juniors have been taken into custody, just waiting for the emperor to be released."
Shang Yi's eyes were vulgar. He nodded to Leng Changxi, but his eyes turning to Qin Zhi suddenly condensed. This look couldn't help but surprise Qin Zhi and reminded him of the way Yang looked at him when he was dying six years ago. He was also so indifferent and cool, as if he had seen through a heartless person. All hopes were dashed.
When he first saw Yang, he knew that Yang was not as simple as an ordinary embroiderer. How could there be such an excellent appearance and such a beautiful demeanor? What's more strange was that Yang could actually know poetry and songs. After that, he only sent someone to investigate and find out the details of Yang. He wanted to benefit With this relationship, he didn't expect that Yang would rather die. When Yang finished grinding all his patience, his sweet words turned into bad words and coercion, and he even condoned Dou's cruel behavior to Yang.
Thinking of Yang, looking at Shangguan Yi's eyes, Qin Zhi inevitably felt a little guilty. Shangguan Yi's protection of Qin Yunuan and interfering in the Guozijian seemed to tell him that Shangguan Yi had already known about Yang's family and the true identity of Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan.
Liu Shangshu has gone down with his dead son. Emperor Zhaoxuan promised him that he would continue to thoroughly investigate this matter, but if it was not Qin Linfeng who died, where did Qin Linfeng go?
When Qin Zhi and Qin Yunuan were in court to fight against each other, someone came to report that Shangguan had submitted a letter, which was given to Qin Linfeng when she left.
Shangguanyi and Qin Linfeng? Thinking of the vowed words and vicious curses that Shangyi said in front of Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunuan always raised some vigilance.
Emperor Zhaoxuan quickly browsed the letter, but his eyes became very strange and his tone was a little unnatural. He looked at Qin Zhi and said, "In the letter, he claimed to be the eldest son of the Qin family. The eldest son of the Qin family said that he had always been determined to be in all directions, but he had been worried that his sister could not marry happily. Now Yunzhuang found a good place, and he didn't worry about it. He said goodbye rashly and hoped that his father would forgive him.
Humph, Qin Yunuan snorted coldly in her heart. Such a tone was false as soon as he heard it. Qin Linfeng's thoughts were all about Qin Yun makeup. How could he leave so easily? What's more, Qin Yunuan really saw Qin Linfeng being sunk in the lake.
Qin Zhi's hand taking the letter has been trembling, because tears fascinated his eyes. This one-page letter looked very laborious. After a long time, Qin Zhi raised his head slightly and said, "This is indeed the handwriting of a dog."
"It turns out that it's just a misunderstanding," Empress Chen awkwardly said, "It's only that this Linfeng acted too recklessly, and it's useless to say goodbye without saying a word, which makes people worry. It happens that Mr. Liu is wearing almost the same clothes as Lin Feng, and his figure is similar, which is inevitable to be misunderstood." After saying that, Empress Chen stroked her sleeves with a calm and gentle face.
"Misunderstanding?" Shangguan Yi suddenly said clearly, "It turns out that a human life is just a misunderstanding in the eyes of the queen?"
"I will definitely investigate it thoroughly." Mr. Shangguan Yi asked, and Emperor Zhaoxuan did not dare to be careless and immediately made a promise.
Out of the hall, Qin Yunuan saw Shangguan Yi, who was over 70 years old, standing next to a bronze pillar outside the hall. The white sleeves were dancing with the wind, which was even deeper and charming in the dark night. Obviously, Shangguan Yi was waiting for her.
Qin Yunuan turned his head to look at Leng Changxi and whispered, "You can wait for me in the carriage first, okay?"
Leng Changxi took a look at Shangguan Yi. He knew the real relationship between Qin Yunuan and Shangguan Yi. In addition, Shangguan Yi's obvious maintenance of Qin Yunuan in front of the palace, he was very relieved. This was his instinct. He would never put Qin Yunuan in an excessively dangerous place. For example, today, even if he is busy, the things around him No matter how cumbersome, he will definitely appear beside his little hedgehog at the most critical time.
Looking at Leng Changxi walk away happily, Qin Yunuan walked to Shangguan Yi and looked up at the bloody night in the deep palace with him.
"Today, thank you..."
Before Qin Yunuan finished her words, Shangguan Yi suddenly made a silent gesture. His eyes also followed the depth of the night, and the words overflowing from his mouth were also enough to wash people's hearts like chanting Buddhist scriptures: "Don't talk. Yuer was the most attentive when she was a child when she looked at the stars. She said that she was afraid of shouting loudly. Talking will wake up the sleeping star, so that the star will fly away.
As Shangguan Yi said, there was an involuntarily sadness between his eyebrows: "Now that Yuer is gone, you and Baochuan are my Yuer. In the past, I believed in justice and justice, but I found that even my favorite relatives could not protect these two. From now on, Yu Nuan, you and Baochuan have relatives, and this time, I don't It will make anyone hurt you."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Qin Yunuan came close and whispered back. There were many people in the palace. She didn't dare to go too much, but the gratitude in her heart almost overflowed.
"Grandfather, father urges you to go there." Suddenly, with a loud female voice, Qin Yunuan turned around and saw Shangguan Yi standing behind in goose yellow clothes looking at the two quietly.
Shangguanyi's face has a gentle smile, which is somewhat similar to Qin Yunuan sometimes. In terms of blood, Shangguanyi and Qin Yunuan should be regarded as cousins. No wonder the two are somewhat similar in some aspects, such as being cruel. Shangguanyi has begun to I have learned it.
Shangguan Yi took a meaningful look at Qin Yunuan and then left, but Shangguan Yi stayed. From time to time, there were busy maids and eunuchs in the corridor. Qin Yunuan and Shangguan Yi always kept a certain distance.
"I underestimated you." Qin Yunuan suddenly opened her mouth, with an imperceptible smile on the corners of her mouth, and a calm but solemn temperament emanating from her body was like nature.
"Real?" Shangguan Yi opened her mouth and smiled happily, "It's not just you, I'm surprised by my change."
"How did you get Qin Linfeng's letter?" Qin Yunuan asked this question, and then laughed at himself, "Forget it, last time you could even fake the communication between Shangguan and Qin Yunzhuang casually. What is a letter of Qin Linfeng's handwriting?"
Qin Yunuan did it on purpose. She knew that the most pain in Shangguan Yi's heart that could not be mentioned was Shangguan Rang. Sure enough, looking at Shangguanyi's face gradually turned green, the smile on Qin Yunuan's face became deeper.
"Don't say what you shouldn't say."
"What should I have said?" Qin Yunuan turned his head slightly, "Do you want to let Shangguan? Huh?"
"You..." Shangguanyi's eyes turned red in an instant. "Don't forget that when you were questioned by the emperor and your father by the queen in the hall, I saved you with a letter."
"Oh? Is it?" Qin Yunuan saw everything very clearly, "You saved me?" Did you save me or hurt me? You know in your heart. Didn't you buy the maid who insisted that I pushed Qin Linfeng into the water? You hate Qin Linfeng for ignoring you, and Qin Yun makeup for killing your brother and taking away your confidant. You sought skin with the tiger and sold the news to the third prince Sima Rui, but you still wanted to pull me into the water and push Qin Linfeng's death on my head, but you didn't expect that there was always someone better than you.
Listening to Qin Yunuan's unreserved analysis of the context of everything, Shangguanyi couldn't help but be slightly stunned. The feeling of spitting out everything she did from Qin Yunuan's mouth was like throwing her on the street to receive comments and scolding from everyone.
"So, did you really kill Mr. Liu?" Shangguan Yi replied with a grin.
"No," Qin Yunuan glanced at Shangguanyi. This lady in the Shangguan government has always been too junior, and she is just a ruthless novice in playing tricks. "I'm not so cruel. It should be another person who wants to frame my life, so Shangguan girl, look, she wants to take me. There are too many people who have died. You are not qualified enough.
"You..." Shangguanyi was obviously angered by Qin Yunuan's "unqualified" sentence. Who do you think you are? Why do you tell me that you are not qualified?
