Chapter 182

Emperor Yuanyou was very angry.

He used to like his cousin Qi Jin very much. Even though Qi Jin had some common hypocrisy in civil servants, Emperor Yuanyou only got bored of it occasionally, and at other times he still admired his cousin's both civil and military skills.

Three days ago, Chen Jingzong met him alone, and told about Chen Jingzong's suspicion of Qi Jin back then, and the two witnesses he finally found after spending three years.

Emperor Yuanyou didn't want to believe it, but Chen Jingzong didn't have the motive to frame Qi Jin for such a serious crime, not to mention that this matter also related to the death of more than 5,000 soldiers of Jin Wu Qianwei.Check it out.

The only scruple is the mother's side.

Chen Jingzong said that if Qi Jin could not admit it personally, he would be willing to be punished.

Emperor Yuanyou went to find his mother.

To Emperor Yuanyou's surprise, the queen mother was not outraged by Chen Jingzong's suspicion, but just asked them to arrange with a solemn expression, and she would cooperate.

So tonight, Chen Jingzong brought the unconscious Qi Jin into the cold palace, and arranged for a dog to bark in the distance to pretend that they were in a cottage outside the city, so as to lower Qi Jin's vigilance.

"Murting your comrades for your own selfish desires, and now that things have been revealed, you still want to be transferred to the border, and you deserve it!"

Emperor Yuanyou walked up to Qi Jin and kicked him in the chest.

He wanted to scold even worse, but unfortunately the young emperor lacked the opportunity to practice eloquence since he was a child, so he could only kick Qi Jin with all his strength to vent his anger: "If I use you to guard the border, you will dare to collude with the border country and even sell me!"

Qi Jin fell to the ground, glanced at the aunt standing behind Emperor Yuanyou, sneered, and stopped talking.

If there was only Chen Jingzong, he would try to find a way out, and when he found his aunt and Emperor Yuanyou were there, Qi Jin knew that he had no way out.

That being the case, it is useless to say more.

Except for the faint glance at Empress Dowager Qi, Qi Jin didn't even give Emperor Yuanyou a look, let alone bow to Chen Jingzong again.

Empress Dowager Qi was hurt by her nephew's look, just like when she learned that her son didn't want to eat with her.

She is strict, and she did cruelly cut off her nephew's desire to love her daughter for the sake of the stability of her son's crown prince status, but she still cared about her nephew and tried to make up for it in other ways.

Unexpectedly, the nephew was so paranoid that he would rather collaborate with the enemy than get rid of Chen Jingzong, and so cold-blooded that he would sacrifice more than 5,000 comrades to conceal his motives.

What made Empress Dowager Qi even more sad was that her nephew could beg Chen Jingzong humbly, and immediately resigned to her fate when he saw her, as if she was sure that her aunt hated him to the bone and would never intercede for him.

Empress Dowager Qi did not, but that was because she couldn't tolerate the evil that her nephew committed, not because she was indifferent to her nephew.

Could it be that the nephew hated her as early as when she forced her to give up her daughter, and had a heart attack because of it?

If she hadn't intervened forcibly back then, wouldn't my nephew not have embarked on this path, and wouldn't those five thousand people die in vain?

Until Qi Jin was taken away by the guards, Queen Mother Qi didn't say a word.

"Mother, let's go back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity first."

Emperor Yuanyou saw that his mother's expression was not right, and he didn't rush to say anything, he stepped forward to hold his mother's arm.

Two walking chariots were prepared outside, but Emperor Yuanyou was useless and took Chen Jingzong to follow beside the queen's chariot.

He does not regret thoroughly investigating Qi Jin, but he is worried that this action will hurt the Queen Mother's heart. If the Queen Mother opposes Chen Jingzong's plan at the beginning, Emperor Yuanyou will not be ashamed of the Queen Mother's selfishness, but the Queen Mother is selfless, and the Emperor Yuanyou admires the Queen Mother more.Time also becomes softer.

Empress Dowager Qi was speechless all the way.

Back at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Empress Dowager Qi's face was not so ugly. Before her son could speak, she said bluntly: "Cooperating with the enemy is a serious crime, and Qi Jin's crime is unforgivable. On the side of the Hou Mansion, the emperor asked Jin Yiwei to investigate. If it is provedThere is no one in the Hou Mansion to cooperate with him in doing evil, so I ask the emperor to look at me and punish Qi Jin only, and the rest of the Hou Mansion will be deprived of their titles and demoted to ordinary people, so let them go back to their hometowns."

Emperor Yuanyou said earnestly: "Why did the queen mother say this? I believe that my uncle has nothing to do with this matter. It is enough for the world to explain to the world by lowering one rank of title."

Empress Dowager Qi shook her head: "It's too light, just do as I said, if you favor your mother's relatives, how will you deter the princes and relatives from doing evil in the future?"

Emperor Yuanyou lowered his eyes.

Chen Jingzong stood aside respectfully.

Empress Dowager Qi looked over, with complexities in her eyes that could not be resolved in a short time, and appreciation: "Back then, I married Hua Yang to you more because I admired your father's talents. Today, I am finally sure that you are completelyworthy of Huayang."

Chen Jingzong knelt down, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty praises me a lot. I was stubborn when I was young. I never read poetry and books with my father, and I don't have the gentlemen's style of my two elder brothers. I just have boxing skills and the heart to serve the country with fists and fists. I invite you, Madam.Forgive me, I keep staring at Qi Jin, it is definitely not because you have any dissatisfaction with the Marquis Mansion, but more than five thousand sons of the Jin Wu vanguard died unjustly in Qi Jin's calculations against the minister, and the minister is also involved in the cause and effect, if you can't pay them backA justice, I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life."

Empress Dowager Qi: "If you are involved in karma, and I match you with Hua Yang, shouldn't you also blame yourself?"

Chen Jingzong hurriedly kowtowed to make amends.

Empress Dowager Qi smiled wryly: "Get up, I didn't mean to blame you, I just told you not to worry too much, all the crimes were caused by Qi Jin alone, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you."

Emperor Yuanyou: "What the queen mother said is very true. There are many people in the world who can't get what they want, and because they can't achieve their wishes, they want to harm those who get it. Then those who failed the rankings outside, don't they want to kill all the Jinshi who are on the list?A gentleman should cultivate himself and cultivate his character, lack of introspection, Qi Jin's ability to do such a thing can only show that he is a vicious villain, and he just has a good skin."

Empress Dowager Qi nodded. She was indeed a little ruthless to her nephew back then, but it was his own choice to make the nephew fall into today's field.

"Leave this case to Jin Yiwei, I won't take care of it anymore, I just want to tell you one thing."

Chen Jingzong and Emperor Yuanyou looked at Empress Dowager Qi at the same time.

Empress Dowager Qi: "Qi Jin's motive for murdering the son-in-law is only to say that he resented the son-in-law for stealing his limelight in the martial arts competition back then. Don't involve Hua Yang, let alone let her know that Qi Jin has been coveting her."

Chen Jingzong immediately said: "I think so too, the long princess is kind-hearted, and I am afraid that she will go into the horns and take the deaths of Jin Wu's avant-garde soldiers on her own head."

Emperor Yuanyou's anger came up again: "What's the matter with my sister? Does my sister want to be missed by someone like Qi Jin?"

Chen Jingzong: "Of course not, I'm afraid that the news will leak out, and the folks will spread the long princess as a confidante."

Emperor Yuanyou gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely explain clearly to Jin Yiwei, whoever dares to mention my sister during the interrogation of the Qi family will immediately..."

He looked at his mother and swallowed back the next few words.

Empress Dowager Qi pretended she didn't hear it, and said to Chen Jingzong: "It's getting late, you go back first, Hua Yang may still be waiting."

Chen Jingzong took the order to resign.

There were no outsiders around, so Emperor Yuanyou knelt beside Empress Dowager Qi and asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother, do you blame me?"

Empress Dowager Qi patted her son's head, and then stroked the young face that was gradually fading away, with a bit of sadness in her eyes: "You clearly distinguish between loyalty and treachery, which is what Ming Jun did. The queen mother is very proud.The baby has finally grown up. I am just sad for losing a nephew who I thought was very good, and feel sorry for your uncle and grandmother who raised him for more than 20 years."

Emperor Yuanyou held the queen mother's hand: "Mother, don't be hurt, my sister and I will be filial to you, you don't need such a nephew."

Empress Dowager Qi's tears were drawn down by her son's long-lost "Mother".

Princess Palace.

Hua Yang was indeed still awake.

This is already the second time Chen Jingzong has gone out to do errands at night.

It's pitch black outside, darkness is easy to be intimidating, and what can only be done in the dark, how can there be no danger at all?

On that rainy night in summer, Hua Yang didn't sleep until the drowned Chen Jingzong came back, and this time she will still wait.

It's almost three o'clock, the last time Chen Jingzong came back was not so late.

Hua Yang turned over on the bed again.

Finally, there was the sound of the main room door being pushed open, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Hua Yang's heart beat faster, even though she knew there was no possibility of an assassin breaking in, she was still uncontrollably nervous at such a time.

"It's me." As soon as Chen Jingzong entered the inner room, he opened his mouth to prove his identity.

Hua Yang breathed a sigh of relief, sat up and said, "Light up the lamp." She couldn't fall asleep for a while.

Chen Jingzong lit the lamp.

He didn't come back in the evening, Hua Yang thought he would change into black clothes outside, but he didn't expect him to be wearing the crimson commander's uniform.

Seeing her staring at his clothes, Chen Jingzong thought for a while and said, "Shall I wipe it first?"

Hua Yang: "Is it done?"

Chen Jingzong nodded.

Hua Yang relaxed even more: "Then wipe it off."

After speaking, she lay down again, with her back to him.

Chen Jingzong smiled. After being married for so long, Tang Quan also had a bath together. The long princess is still so reserved, or she is putting on a pose, but he just loves her acting like this.

After wiping it carefully, Chen Jingzong changed into a clean shirt and came to the bed.

Before he hugged him, Hua Yang frowned first: "What's the smell?"

She had smelled alcohol and sweat before, but this strange smell was very strange tonight.

Chen Jingzong sniffed, and explained: "Tung oil, I'm going to cheat someone tonight, if he doesn't tell the truth, I'm going to set him on fire, the tung oil is already poured on him."

Hua Yang sat up straight away!

To kill people, what Chen Jingzong wants to do is to kill people!

If he dares to kill others, others can kill him instead!

Hua Yang's eyes fell on him.

Chen Jingzong took her into his arms, hugged her and said, "I'm fine, and I didn't set fire, that person has confessed."

Hua Yang frowned: "What's going on?"

Chen Jingzong looked at her, and started talking about winning Qi Jin in the martial arts demonstration, and then talking about the time when they went to the Hou Mansion to celebrate his birthday, Qi Jin insulted him in the clean room, and finally, Qi Jin in Wuduoshan colluded with the enemy, intending to kill with a knife.

The only motive he set for Qi Jin was that Qi Jin was jealous of him.

"There are two witnesses, and he admitted it himself. The empress and the emperor also heard it clearly, and have already sent them to Jinyiwei."

Hua Yang was stunned in his arms.

Chen Jingzong's words were concise and fast, lest she would not believe it, which made Hua Yang just have some doubts, but immediately got iron proof.

Most importantly, Qi Jin personally admitted it!

Therefore, the one who really killed Chen Jingzong in her previous life was her cousin Qi Jin whom she had known since she was a child!

Just because of a martial arts competition, Qi Jin turned out to be so vicious!

How could he have the face to go to Chen's house to express condolences and persuade her to mourn when Chen Jingzong's coffin was carried back to Capital City!

Hua Yang hated and loved, hated Qi Jin, loved Chen Jingzong in front of him, and also loved Chen Jiashilang who never came back in his previous life.

Chen Jingzong's cuffs were soon wet with tears from the long princess, and no matter how much he coaxed her, she had no intention of stopping.

Chen Jingzong said helplessly: "Are you feeling sorry for him, or..."

Hua Yang patted his mouth with one hand, and cursed, "Shut up!"

He can be unscrupulous about other things, but this is not the case. Qi Jin will never die to atone for her sins, how can she be worthy of making her cry!

After the beating, Hua Yang buried himself in his chest and continued to cry.

Chen Jingzong: ...

His middle coat was half wet in no time, it was cold and sticky, and he was not comfortable at all.

Chen Jingzong took off his shirt decisively.

Hua Yang buried him again, and his face was pressed against his strong chest.

Hua Yang: ...

Chen Jingzong suggested: "Would you like to lie on my head and cry? Just wash my hair to get rid of the smell of tung oil."

Hua Yang: ...

Chen Jingzong held up her wet face: "Okay, the matter is over, thanks to you, I was not plotted by him, so it's not worth crying."

Before Hua Yang could open his mouth, he kissed her closely.

Hua Yang hugged his neck tightly, and didn't want to be separated from him this night.
