Chapter 67 Taking the Initiative to Confess, 2 Enemies
Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao were extremely curious, but unfortunately Xie Ying couldn't hear what they were thinking, so naturally she didn't know what they were thinking at the moment.
She continued to complain in her mind: [So, never trust a scumbag, it will easily lead to misfortune.]
Sun Qingqing is still too naive.
She grew up in a butcher's family and had never suffered any hardship or pain.
Just like flowers in a greenhouse, they have never experienced wind and rain, so they naively think that they will be carefully cared for when they go outside.
Even though she had clearly suffered a loss at the hands of Zhu Xiucai, she was still so self-righteous and unwilling to recognize herself.
Don't you think about it? She is not stunningly beautiful, and she has such a terrible reputation. Why would someone like her when they just met her by chance?
If he really loved her, why would he hide her secretly instead of sending her back home and having an affair with her without a matchmaker?
She thought she had met a gentleman she liked, but she didn't know that he was a wolf in human skin who wanted to take her life.
Zhu Xiucai looked down on her. Although he dug a pit for her, he did not push her into the pit with his own hands and gave her the opportunity to choose.
But the man was cruel and heartless. Not only did he cheat her of her body with worthless fake gold, he also took her life and even used her corpse to make use of it.
Xie Ying curled her lips in disdain, thinking that it would be better to retrain this kind of scum.
But now is not the time to kill him.
He is just a knife in Chen Fang's hand. If he is killed now, wouldn't it be too easy for Chen Fang?
We have to keep this person first and use him to deal with Chen Fang.
It won’t be too late to kill him after we’ve exhausted all his usefulness.
Well, this is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine.
Xie Ying's mind flickered, and she quickly came up with an idea. So she curled her eyes with a smile, stopped complaining, and became a quiet little beauty.
Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao were disappointed that they couldn't hear more information from her thoughts.
However, Xie Xiu regained his spirits when he thought of Liu Ye's last words.
He frowned, puzzled: the Black Kirin Guard Liu Ye mentioned was most likely someone sent by his uncle. But if his uncle was willing to help him, why did he not intervene when Yingying's "prophecy" showed that his family was in trouble and he had to enter the palace in despair?
Did something happen to his uncle, or did he hate him and was not really helping him?
Xie Xiu pondered for a moment and calmed himself down.
No matter what the truth is, he must rush to the capital as soon as possible.
Perhaps, when he meets his uncle, he will know the truth.
Xie Xiu couldn't help but clench his fists, looking at the trees and fields receding outside the car window, wishing he could grow wings and fly back to the capital immediately.
Unfortunately, because the convoy was carrying children and goods, its speed was limited and it was unable to travel all the way.
In comparison, the Black Qilin Guard is much faster.
While Xie Xiu and others were still on the road, the secret letter from the Black Kirin Guards had already been delivered to the capital.
In Huaqing Palace, Concubine Jiang looked at the secret letter that had been delivered to her. Her slender eyebrows raised slightly, and she looked at Luo Zheng with a half-smile: "Why did you suddenly help Xie Xiu? This is not like your personality."
Luo Zheng suddenly knelt on his knees and said respectfully: "I wonder if your Majesty still remembers that I once said that I have two powerful enemies.
Those two were Xie Yun and his step-wife. My parents, my servant, had a good business and had accumulated a considerable fortune. Since they only had one daughter, my sister, they gave her a large dowry.
My elder sister was Xie Yun's original wife. Unfortunately, she married Xie Yun with a generous dowry and served her parents-in-law wholeheartedly, but ultimately did not end well.
Even my parents were killed by the thieves, and their house was burned down by the fire.
If I had not been playful that day and sneaked out of the house, and asked the servant to pretend to be me and lie on the bed and sleep, I would probably have died.
After learning that something had happened at home, the servant was shocked and frightened. He wanted to report it to the police and go home to check, but was stopped by the loyal servant.
The loyal servant took the slave and hid from place to place. Feeling that something was wrong, he brought the slave to the capital to seek help from Xie Yun.
But when we arrived in the capital, we learned that my sister had died suddenly in childbirth not long ago, leaving behind only two young sons."
When Luo Zheng finished speaking, his eyes were as red as if he had put on rouge, which contrasted with his overly fair skin, making people feel cold.
"So, Xie Xiu is your nephew?" Concubine Jiang frowned. "You suspect that the deaths of your parents and your sister are related to Xie Yun and Chen Fang?"
Luo Zheng's face was filled with strong hatred, but his tone was very calm: "Not long after my parents got into trouble, many of our family's land and shops were quickly sold at low prices, and the remaining ones fell into Xie Yun's hands.
Originally, I only suspected that he had deliberately killed my sister in order to climb up the social ladder. But this time when Xie Xiu came to Beijing, someone unexpectedly colluded with bandits and wanted to kill him and his family!
"I cannot help but suspect that my parents' deaths were also deliberately planned by someone, using the hands of thieves to steal their wealth and kill them!"
"You suspect the Chen family? Do you have any evidence?" Concubine Jiang was slightly surprised and warned solemnly, "The Chen family is a powerful family, they have always kept a low profile, and they are very prestigious. If you don't have solid evidence, you must not provoke them!"
Empress Chen once blocked a sword for Emperor Taihe and lost her fertility as a result.
Even though Emperor Taihe had no feelings for her originally, he had a little more respect for her because of this incident.
Moreover, Empress Chen had always been law-abiding and never deliberately made trouble for her because Emperor Taihe favored her. Instead, she treated her with great generosity and courtesy.
Even though Concubine Jiang was dissatisfied with the other party occupying the throne, she was also somewhat ashamed of Empress Chen's attitude, so she did not want to make things difficult for her.
Moreover, the Chen family was very good at dealing with people and had a great reputation. Even though she was deeply favored by Emperor Taihe, she did not dare to easily become an enemy of the Chen family.
Luo Zheng is her man, and she doesn't want him to rashly attack the Chen family for revenge and cause her big trouble!
"I do suspect the Chen family, but I have never had any evidence. That's why I have only been able to hide my hatred in my heart over the years and have not dared to take revenge rashly."
Luo Zheng lowered his head even lower, his posture extremely submissive, "But this time someone attacked Xie Xiu, and I have already captured that person for interrogation.
Although he hasn't given Chen Fang away, nor has he admitted to attacking Xie Xiu, I believe that given time, I can get him to confess."
Concubine Jiang was surprised for a moment, then shook her head: "Even if he confessed Chen Fang, this alone would not bring down the Chen family."
As she spoke, she placed her hand on Luo Zheng's shoulder, "Luo Zheng, I know you want revenge. But I hope you won't lose your mind because of hatred, because a momentary impulse will bring you disaster!
The Queen saved His Majesty and has done me a great favor. If you want revenge, you can deal with Chen Fang, but you can't touch the Chen family, understand?"
"I understand." Luo Zheng bowed deeply. "Your Majesty has saved my life and helped me. Even if I were to die, I would never dare to cause trouble for you."
Imperial Concubine Jiang sighed, "Why do you have to do this? I don't want you to lose your life in vain. Since Xie Xiu is your nephew, you should go meet him when he returns to the capital."
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace." Luo Zheng thanked him gratefully, but then said sarcastically, "Xie Xiu has Xie Yun's blood in his veins, and I haven't seen him in years, so I don't think I can trust him. I just think that if I want to deal with Xie Yun and Chen Fang, Xie Xiu would be a very good chess piece."
