Chapter 320 Fog
The next day, the news that Fu Mingjue was going to Dali Temple to interrogate the prisoners in person quickly spread throughout the capital.
After everyone heard this, they looked surprised: Didn't they say that all the dead soldiers who broke into Prince Jing's Mansion in the past few days were killed? Those piled up in Dali Temple were just corpses, so how could there be any prisoners to interrogate?
Fu Mingjue has been staying at his house these days, and others only think that he cherishes his life and dare not go out. But now he not only came out, but also led a large number of people to Dali Temple to interrogate the prisoners.
Everyone was confused by his sudden move.
But after careful consideration, I felt that something was wrong. With Fu Mingjue's temperament, it was impossible to do useless work. The corpses sent to Dali Temple in the past two days were enough to pile up into a mountain, but why did he go to such trouble to send the corpses to Dali Temple? Going to Dali Temple?
Regarding this issue, Shen Xuhuai believes that there are only two possibilities.
"First, there were still survivors among the corpses sent to Dali Temple, and Fu Mingjue did this just to save their lives to prevent them from being silenced; second, -"
He stopped deliberately, raised his eyes to look at Ling Qingyan and said, "Qingyan, what do you think the second one will be?"
"." Ling Qingyan twitched her eyes, "If I knew, I wouldn't ask you!"
Shen Xuhuai said with a slight smile: "I thought you knew, you just wanted to test me."
"Come on, tell me quickly!" Ling Qingyan was too lazy to argue with him.
She covered her lips and coughed twice before saying to Ling Youyao: "Although I don't know what happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I also understand Xiao Qi's current situation. He let you enter the palace for your sake, Youyao, Don’t worry too much.”
Ling Qingyan analyzed: "He released the news that he was going to Dali Temple to interrogate the prisoners today, and then thinking about the corpses piled up in Dali Temple, one has to doubt whether any of them are alive. Once there is this suspicion, death has been sent to the Dali Temple in the past two days. Those who go to Prince Jing's Mansion will be unable to sit still. But based on the experience of the previous two times, I think they will not take action easily this time."
"Sure enough, it's because of Yao'er," Ling Qingyan did not doubt, but comforted him, "Don't worry, the Queen has sent word that Yao'er has come to the palace to keep her company. She is probably already in Fengyi Palace at the moment."
Compared with the tranquility in Fengyi Palace, there seems to be a layer of dark clouds outside, weighing heavily on people's hearts, making them somewhat breathless.
Ling Qingyan stared at him closely and couldn't help but say: "Shen Chao, what's wrong with you these past two days? I always feel like you're weird."
Seeing the water in the queen's eyes, Ling Youyao felt depressed: "My dear, don't think too much, Chen'er will be safe, everything will be fine."
It has been half a day since Fu Mingjue entered Dali Temple, but no news has come out yet. There is no news here, and those who are keeping an eye on Dali Temple do not dare to relax at all.
Wei Xiu hesitated for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who King Jing is interrogating, but the prisoner is indeed being interrogated in the cell, and Gu Boyan is also there."
Some things are unavoidable, just like the snowy winter in my memory. No matter how late it is, it will always come as scheduled.
"Yes." Shen Xuhuai lowered his eyes, a hint of inadvertent darkness flashed across his amber pupils, but in the end he said nothing more.
"But you said just let the general do his job and don't have to interfere too much in this matter."
She knew the outcome early, but she still wanted to change it. She couldn't save the queen, so could she not change Fu Mingjue's final outcome?
His eyes froze for a moment, then returned to normal and said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about Yao'er's situation."
Shen Xuhuai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine. Now that Prince Jing's palace is surrounded by enemies, it would be safer for her to stay in the palace."
After hearing this, Fu Xiuyun fell into deep thought, and then asked: "Among the corpses sent to Dali Temple in the past few days, are there any survivors?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I couldn't help but cough again.
The queen leaned weakly on the cushion, gently held her hand, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you saved Chen'er. It's me who should thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be the only one left in this world." There is only one person in the palace.”
"Actually, I told you about this second point last time. What Fu Mingjue did was just a provocation to the forces behind him. He acted surly and arrogantly, and others were coming to kill him. How could he swallow his anger? "
She knew that Fu Yunchen would be isolated and helpless after she left, so she thought of paving the way for him, but she didn't expect that someone would want to get rid of their mother and son now.
"Yeah, don't think too much about it. With Fu Mingjue here, she will never be in danger."
Wei Xiu hesitated and said: "King Jing sends dozens of corpses to Dali Temple every day. The general has not carefully inspected them. I don't know if there are any alive among them."
"oh?"
Ling Youyao didn't dare to think deeply, so she just stayed with the queen quietly.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the queen's body became increasingly weak, and she could only regain her energy after each acupuncture.
Ling Qingyan was speechless and sighed: "In my opinion, the prince did this just to make us guess why he would do this."
The further you go, the quieter your voice becomes.
"Okay, everything is up to you." Ling Youyao smiled, but her eyes were wet.
"Youyao, thank you for staying with me these days," the queen looked at her tenderly, "please stay in the side hall for the next few days. There has been no laughter in Fengyi Palace for a long time."
Ling Youyao hurriedly stepped forward, patted her back and said: "My dear, I know. Thank you very much for calling me into the palace this time, so that the prince will have no worries."
"So that's it." Shen Xuhuai's eyes were as calm as water.
Ling Youyao was surprised when she received the imperial edict summoned by the queen. It wasn't until she met Sun Fuzhi in Fengyi Palace that she realized that all this was arranged by Fu Mingjue.
At that time, Fu Xiuyun summoned Wei Xiu in the Chengming Palace.
"Is Zi Lin really interrogating prisoners in Dali Temple at this time?"
"That's it?" Ling Qingyan felt that it was not simple. "If you just want to provoke, why send the body to Dali Temple? You might as well hang it directly on the city wall so that everyone can see what will happen if you dare to break into Prince Jing's Mansion."
Shen Xuhuai was thoughtful, and then said: "You are right, Fu Mingjue is indeed a little gentle this time."
After Sun Fuzhi finished acupuncture on the queen, he glanced at Ling Youyao lightly and left Fengyi Palace.
Fu Xiuyun's face darkened and he said coldly: "I asked you to help investigate the case. Is this how you investigated it?"
Before he could finish speaking, a teacup suddenly flew in front of him. Wei Xiu ducked subconsciously. Before he could stand still, another brush hit his head, and his face was covered with ink.
Fu Xiuyun said angrily: "I really don't know how you got the idea to become the commander of the Imperial Guard! I asked you to perform your duties, not just to watch from the sidelines! A living person was sent into Dali Temple under your nose, and you didn't even Don’t you even look at it?”
Wei Xiu was horrified and knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, please calm down and you will eventually be convicted!"
"If you don't know the crime, hurry back to Dali Temple and watch!"
