C43 Only the Dead Can't Talk

Dongfang Qisu leisurely drank a cup of tea. He was not in a hurry, but was instead worried to death, "I heard that you're still very protective of her. Third brother, to be honest, is that true?"

Dongfang Qisu put down his cup and said in a low voice, "You have to do the whole set just because you want to act."

"But, you don't have to protect her that much right? I've heard that you are unable to differentiate between green and red because of her." What he did in the East, the outside world was magnified for no reason.

"Seventh Brother, I've already told you before. Since we have the same enemy, then let her go and cause a ruckus. The more joyous it is, the more headaches those people have. As for me, I only need to protect her."

The more he cared for them, the more anxious they became.

He couldn't kill them. It was always good to make them feel bad.

"Third brother, I still don't understand." He had never understood his third brother's real purpose. "By the way, third brother, where's that girl in your room last time? Is she my future Third Sister-in-Law? "

"Seventh Brother, don't speak nonsense!" Dong Fang Qi Su's voice became a little heavier, but his ears started to turn red.

In his mind, a thought flashed across the eyes of Rong Jiu in the cold pond. His face was tender and smooth, and his lips were crystal smooth. He couldn't help but feel his throat tighten.

He slammed the table and said irritably, "I'll be going back first. Enjoy your meal."

"Hey, third brother." Dong Fang He helplessly shook his head, "Hong Xing, look, he's just a wooden stake."

"Yes, a wooden stake." Hong Xing's fingers fiddled with the zither, but her mind had already followed Dongfang Qisu into the distance.

Dong Fang Qi Su took a deep breath of the cold wind to calm himself down.

He could not understand. Rong Jiu was just an ordinary woman, so why did he have to react in such a way?

Maybe there was something wrong with his body?

Next day

Ah!

Following the screams of the palace maids, the people of the Scented Fragrance Pavilion rushed to the woodshed. When they saw Rong Jiu lying on the ground, covered in blood, they shrieked one after another.

The imperial physician came quickly, as did the emperor.

Upon hearing the news, the empress immediately understood what was going on with the letter in the room. It just so happened that the autumn harvest had already confessed everything. Although this was only one of the minor matters that Concubine Ning had done, it was still enough.

Murdering an emperor, this crime, tsk tsk.

"Set off!"

The Empress rode on a phoenix chariot and rushed to the Fragrance Pavilion.

By this time, Rong Jiu's wounds had been healed. He lay on her body crying like a ball of meat. "Mother, does it hurt, mother?"

Woo woo, mother, who did this to you?" Mother.

When Rong Jiu heard that, he also felt upset. She gently pinched his navel, and he almost laughed out loud.

He was afraid that his mother would pinch his navel the most. He raised his head to look at Rong Jiu, and coincidentally saw the look in her eyes.

Although he didn't really understand what had happened, he was still right.

Ahhh … mother …" He continued to cry.

"Imperial Consort, shouldn't you explain this matter to me?" The emperor sat in a high position as Imperial Concubine Ning lowered her head in panic. "Your majesty, even chenqie doesn't know what's going on."

"Don't know?" I wonder how could Rong Jiu be injured like this in the Fragrant Sky Pavilion! "

Imperial Concubine Ning looked at Rong Jiu, hoping he would say something along the lines of, "Little Jiu, I usually treat you so well. How could I possibly hurt you?"

"Yeah." Rong Jiu replied weakly, "Your majesty, there's no way that Imperial Concubine would harm Rong Jiu."

"Then tell me, how did you end up in the Fragrance Pavilion? How did you get injured like this?" The Emperor said.

Rong Jiu lowered his head, tears streaming down his face. "I don't know. I was perfectly fine in the orphanage when someone suddenly knocked me out. After I woke up, I was in the Fragrance Pavilion."

The emperor frowned. "Imperial Concubine, don't you know about what happened in your Fragrant Pavilion?"

Imperial Concubine Ning knelt at the emperor's feet, tugging at his robes. "Chenqie really doesn't know anything, your majesty."

"The matter of the thieves first happened at your Fragrant Pavilion, then you barged into the orphanage, and then something happened to Rong Jiu, and then the Fragrant Pavilion appeared again. How do you expect This Emperor to believe that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"Your majesty, chenqie really doesn't know anything. I don't know."

Imperial Concubine Ning just sobbed and sobbed. Every time something happened, the emperor would always feel his heart ache.

"The empress has arrived!"

The eunuch's sharp voice made the palace maid and eunuch kneel. "Greetings, esteemed empress."

The queen let someone else help her in.

"Why is the empress here?" The emperor's eyes rested on the empress's feet.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Imperial Majesty." The empress forced a bow and said, "Your Majesty, chenqie came this time to explain how I was injured last night."

"Oh?" The emperor focused his attention, "I'm giving you a seat."

The empress sat down and shot a look at Qiuzhen, who knelt on the ground. "Yesterday, my concubines couldn't sleep in peace, so they wanted to go out for a walk, but somehow they ended up walking near the Fragrance Pavilion. They wanted to go back in the middle of the night, but they ended up running into her."

"Qiu Yun was Chenqie's maid before, but ever since Chenqie went to the Cold Palace, I have no idea where she went. I was surprised to see her yesterday, but before I could ask, a man in black appeared from the shadows and slashed at me with a large blade."

"I was once a Chenqie palace maid, after all. Chenqie was so scared that I didn't know what to say, so I just ran away with Autumn Harvest. Fortunately, the imperial guards managed to get here, but chenqie was still injured."

The emperor sized up the empress, as if trying to read something from her face. In the blink of an eye, he looked towards Qiu Yun. "Zhen remembers that you were later with Imperial Concubine Ning. How did you end up being chased by the black clothed man?"

From the corner of his eyes, the emperor saw the imperial concubine's pale face as she spoke. From the moment she accepted him, her body had been trembling slightly. It seemed like this matter had something to do with her.

"May the Emperor seek justice for the autumn harvest." "Imperial Concubine can't tolerate this servant. This servant can't care so much anymore, I'm begging the emperor to make the decision!"

The emperor's expression was very calm, with very few ripples. "Slow down."

Qiu Sing took a deep breath. "This servant once helped Imperial Concubine Ning do the wrong thing. Imperial Concubine Ning said that only dead people would not be able to speak."

"What do you mean by wicked things? Begin from the beginning!"

"Autumn harvest, don't speak nonsense!" The Imperial Concubine stood up and pointed at the autumn harvest as she spoke.

The emperor was dissatisfied. "Imperial Concubine Ning, I'm still here."

"Your majesty, this autumn harvest was obviously bought. Your majesty, don't believe her."

"Could it be that Imperial Concubine Ning thinks that we don't have the ability to differentiate right from wrong?"

"Chenqie doesn't dare."

"Imperial Concubine Ning once told me to …"

Qiu Yun recounted the events that Imperial Concubine Ning did one after another. Her entire face was deathly pale, as if she were a wall painted white.

The emperor's hand slowly tightened under his long robe. The empress looked at Imperial Concubine Ning, waiting to see what would happen to her.

She had already investigated some of these matters. She also had evidence regarding the murder of a certain young prince, so it was impossible for the emperor to not punish the crimes and congeal the imperial concubine.

Rong Jiu observed the Emperor's meticulous changes, but he felt that this matter wasn't that simple. Especially when Qiu Rong mentioned the death of a certain little prince, Imperial Concubine Ning's face showed a trace of a slow color.
