Chapter 99: Ah Ruan is dead
Xuanyuan Chen would never have imagined that Ruan Jiuge was pregnant with his flesh and blood, but he still watched her marry someone else.
"I'm sorry for Jiu Ge, and I'm even more sorry for Ah Ruan." Xuanyuan Chen beat his chest and stamped his feet, unable to accept this fact for a moment.
"But, Your Majesty, I heard the meaning of Ruan Ruan's letter. Why do I always feel that this letter is like a farewell letter." Shen Sichen suddenly thought of this.
"Yes, Ah Ruan's child's temperament is exactly the same as her mother's." When Xuanyuan Chen thought of this, something suddenly occurred to him, "Oh no, Ah Ruan's child is not going to do anything."
As soon as Xuanyuan Chen finished speaking, a servant hurriedly ran in. He looked very worried and panted: "Young General, Your Majesty, it's not good, the young lady's room is on fire. Go and have a look." Bar."
"Is it on fire?" Shen Sichen's heart tightened, and he suddenly became angry, "Why did you just come to tell me about such a big thing just now!"
The servants stood there submissive and did not dare to speak. Just now Shen Qingling stopped them there and said that there was a way to stop the fire. Who knew that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so they came over in a hurry.
At this time, Shen Sichen and Xuanyuan Chen couldn't care so much, they just took their clothes and ran over.
At the scene, the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Even though many servants came to put out the fire with buckets, the fire was still very big. Soon, the fire swept through the entire room. The servants quickly isolated the fire from other places. When Si Chen and the others arrived, the fire was almost extinguished.
"What's going on?" As soon as Shen Sichen came over, he saw the room that was almost burned, "Where is the young lady?"
The servants all held buckets in their hands and stood there submissively, not daring to speak.
"I'm asking you a question!" Seeing that the servants were silent, Shen Sichen immediately became anxious and furious.
Seeing that the people were still silent, Shen Sichen understood something immediately, but he still couldn't believe it and wanted to rush in to find Ruan Li.
"Major General, you can't go in!" The servants came forward and grabbed Shen Sichen tightly, refusing to let Shen Sichen in.
At this time, Xuanyuan Chen said in a deep voice: "You don't want Si Chen to go in. I'll go in, so it's okay."
With that said, Xuanyuan Chen raised his feet and was about to walk in. The servants were even more frightened, holding Shen Sichen with one hand and Xuanyuan Chen with the other.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to disobey me?" Xuanyuan Chen became angry immediately.
When the servants saw Xuanyuan Chen getting angry, they immediately knelt down in fear and said repeatedly: "Young men don't dare. It's just the Queen's order. The Emperor and the Young General must not be allowed to go in and take risks."
"Queen?" Suddenly, Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Sichen understood something.
"Your Majesty, Chen'er." At this moment, Shen Qinglinglian walked over slowly. She didn't know the letter that Shen Sichen and Xuanyuan Chen had just seen in the room. "Your Majesty and Chen'er are worried." , as soon as I discovered the fire, I sent someone in to rescue Ah Ruan."
When Shen Qingling said this, she originally thought that she would be praised by Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Sichen, but she didn't expect that Xuanyuan Chen would look at her angrily, and even Shen Sichen would look at him with disappointment in his eyes.
At this time, Xuanyuan Chen pushed all his anger onto Shen Qingling: "You are still the mother of a country. When something happened to Ah Ruan, why didn't you let someone come and report it to us immediately?"
Shen Qingling was a little shocked when she saw Xuanyuan Chen's appearance, and said: "I thought His Majesty wanted to discuss business with Chen'er in the room, so no one came to disturb you."
As soon as Shen Qingling finished speaking, the servants responsible for the search took out two burnt corpses from inside.
When Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Sichen saw the two burnt corpses, they felt very uneasy, and Shen Sichen couldn't accept it.
They tremblingly opened the white curtain covering the face. The faces of the two corpses could no longer be seen clearly, and the clothes on their bodies had been burned to almost ashes. It was enough to see how fierce the fire was. .
"A Ruan." Two lines of hot tears rolled down Shen Sichen's cheeks. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch it again. He never thought that he originally wanted to protect Ruan Li. The result was Ruan Li's death accidentally. "Ah Ruan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't lose my temper at you, and I shouldn't stand on your side, and I shouldn't point my sword at you." You, Ah Ruan, I'm sorry, please come back. I'll do whatever you want."
Shen Sichen's words did not consider the feelings of Shen Qingling standing next to her. Shen Qingling's face gradually turned pale as she listened to Shen Sichen's words. She did not expect that Ruan Li's death would have such a great impact on Shen Sichen. .
And at this time, Xuanyuan Chen was looking at the burnt corpse in front of him with a look of disbelief. Xuanyuan Chen, who had never shed tears before, was also crying uncontrollably at this time.
Xuanyuan Chen even knelt down and cried: "I'm sorry, Ah Ruan, it's my father's fault. I couldn't recognize you when you were standing in front of me. It's all my fault. I failed to protect you properly." You silly boy, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were my child? If you had told me, I wouldn't blame you at all. No matter what, I would protect you. Ah Ruan, I'm sorry. It's all my father's fault. How should I face your mother in the future?"
Shen Qingling also heard what Xuanyuan Chen said. She looked at Xuanyuan Chen in shock. She never thought that Ruan Li would be the child of Ruan Jiuge and Xuanyuan Chen. It turned out that Ruan Jiuge suddenly married Xie Hua just to cover it up. With such a scandal, it's no wonder that Mrs. Xie can't tolerate Ruan Jiuge. It turns out that this is the reason.
Shen Qingling staggered a few steps. Unexpectedly, she had been infertile for a long time. The funny thing was that she had always thought that she had completely won over Ruan Jiuge. But she didn't expect that Ruan Jiuge gave birth to a daughter for Xuanyuan Chen, and Ruan Jiuge gave birth to a daughter for Xuanyuan Chen. She almost missed her daughter under her nose, but luckily she planned to kill Ruan Li, otherwise sooner or later there would be endless trouble.
"Aruan, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I failed to protect you."
At this moment, Shen Sichen suddenly thought of something, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned Ah Qi and his group of secret guards. However, only one or two of the group of secret guards came out.
Shen Sichen looked at the dozen or so people with red eyes and asked coldly: "Why is it just you? Are there others?"
Ah Qi and the others knelt on the ground, you looked at me, I looked at you, and hesitantly told what happened: "Back to Major General, it's like this. This morning, someone brought us some wine and meat in your name." , we have been sleeping since we ate it."
"My name? Why don't I know this?" Soon, Shen Sichen realized that something was wrong. This matter must have been done deliberately.
"We didn't know either. We thought that Major General Xu and Miss Ah Ruan were about to get married. He was too happy and wanted us to congratulate him together, so we didn't doubt anything else. Moreover, we also tested it with a silver needle and it was clear that it was not poisonous. Yes, so I ate it with confidence. Who knew that I would be in this situation when I woke up."
Hearing this, Shen Sichen became angry: "Idiot, I asked you to follow the young lady and protect the young lady. Am I asking you to have fun? Now look at the young lady you want to protect. You have been plotted against me like this, tell me how I should punish you."
Ah Qi and the others didn't speak. They were all too scared to speak, for fear of offending Shen Sichen again.
"Everyone, go down and lead me to the military training board. Twenty of you, no one should be missing."
Shen Sichen glanced at the other corpse and was a little unsure. After all, Shi Shi had been following Ruan Li these days, but with Shi Shi's martial arts, how could he not escape.
At this time, someone came forward to report: "Major General, when we were searching, we found that every corner of the room was covered with oil. The most important thing is that we found ways to escape from every corner of the room. Things have blocked the exits of the place, and the whole room is sealed."
After hearing this answer, Shen Sichen stepped forward and looked at the two corpses respectively. He almost dared to conclude that the other person was Shi Fifteen.
Combined with what his subordinates had just discovered, he was sure that this incident was not a natural disaster at all, nor was it Ruan Li's fault. It was definitely someone deliberately and secretly planning it, just to make Ru case die in the sea of fire. However, the murderer did not There will be no time to destroy the scene in the future, so people will find these flaws.
Xuanyuan Chen next to him also had the same idea, and he walked directly to Shen Qingling's side.
"Check, investigate strictly for me. You must find out for me what happened here. If you can't find out, then all the people at the scene today will be buried with my daughter. If anyone dares to stop me, no matter who it is. , don’t blame me for not caring about our past friendship. Who is the murderer who was finally found out? I will make her life worse than death."
As he said that, Xuanyuan Chen glanced at Shen Qingling intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, he had doubted Shen Qingling about Ruan Jiuge's death, but he just thought about it. Shen Qingling didn't need it, and Ruan Jiuge was Shen Qingling's close friend after all. There was no reason to harm Ruan Jiuge. So the person he trusted the most over the years was Shen Qingling.
