Sister Yi burst into tears and complained: "For the anniversary of her death, my mother often copied scriptures without sleep. If she really had any bad intentions, why choose today?"
Chu Xuanzhi could no longer listen to what Sister Yi was saying. He asked, "Do you know about the death of those monks?"
Facing the question, Sister Yi's heart sank for no reason. Thinking of countless possibilities in her mind, she raised her head and met a pair of bottomless eyes.
At this moment, Sister Yi was sure that Chu Xuanzhi must have known.
"I……"
Sister Yi's calm mood could no longer be maintained, and she looked a little panicked. She bit her lip tightly and hesitated to speak.
"Sister Yi?" he urged.
Sister Yi lowered her head and whispered: "I came out of the house and found that all these monks were dead. There was a lot of blood in the yard. I heard people say that all these monks committed suicide by taking poison."
Hearing this, a flash of disappointment flashed in Chu Xuazhi's eyes.
"Bring Jinghua."
A moment later, Jinghua helped the palace maid and rushed over. She was very surprised when she saw Sister Yi: "Why are you here?"
"Mother, I'm worried about you." Sister Yi rushed towards Jinghua, her eyes were red, as if she had been wronged a lot.
Jinghua immediately took her into her arms and said to Chu Xuangzhi: "Sister does not know about many matters at all. She is still young and innocent. Your Majesty, please do not involve her."
Seeing the deep affection between mother and daughter, Chu Xuazhi laughed angrily: "Does the county master know how those monks died?"
At first, Chu Xuanzhi did not want to expose the matter, leaving Jinghua with a face to investigate the matter thoroughly in private, but he did not expect Sister Yi to drag Xu'er into the water.
This cannot be tolerated.
He didn't bother to play riddles anymore, his eyes lingered on the mother and daughter. When Jinghua heard this, she knew that the matter couldn't be hidden. She swallowed, turned to Sister Yi and said, "You go back first, and wait for mother to investigate thoroughly."
I will go back to accompany you after this is over, be good."
Sister Yi shook her head and refused to leave.
"Sister Yi!" Jinghua's face darkened and he ordered: "My mother is busy with very important things now and has no time to take care of you. You should be good and don't distract your mother."
Only then did Sister Yi look up timidly, with tears in her eyes, but Chu Xuanzhi said: "Sister Yi is also fifteen this year. I remember that the royal family had already married at her age, and the emperor sister can't protect her.
Sister Yi, there is no harm in letting her take a look at some things in her life."
Sister Yi was stunned. Does that mean she is not allowed to leave?
"Your Majesty, Sister Yi has been weak since she was a child, and she is not as good as others..." Jinghua argued, she didn't want to involve Sister Yi.
Chu Xuanzhi chuckled: "You're already here, but if you don't let her know, she's still thinking about it."
Jinghua choked on her words, knowing that she could not defeat Chu Xuanzhi, so she had no choice but to leave Sister Yi behind. She took a deep breath and said: "I ordered those monks to be killed with a stick. I was confused for a moment, thinking about what the interrogation would reveal.
That’s how he killed someone.”
Hearing Jinghua admit the matter so happily with his own ears, and acting as if it was a matter of course, made Chu Xuazhi very strange.
Is this still the imperial sister who always thinks about herself and saves herself many times?
She is kind-hearted, weak but strong, humble and generous towards others. She is definitely not the person in front of her who has killed many people and still looks as plain as water.
Chu Xuanzhi was shocked.
Jinghua raised his head and looked at Chu Xuanzhi, and said word by word: "Today, I have no choice but to find out who is plotting behind the scenes. The guards were careless and beat the person to death. Although I did not stop him, I thought
But the important thing is not to let these people go out to cheat and cheat. If they are beaten to death, they can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
Look at what a high-sounding reason?
Master Song said, "Then why didn't the county chief tell the truth directly, but said that these monks committed suicide by taking poison?"
Jinghua turned his head and glanced at Mr. Song, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to explain everything to Mr. Song. I am the one who framed and slandered you today. I just used the wrong method."
Master Song frowned. He knew that Jinghua had a good relationship with the emperor, so he stopped asking no more questions. When he met Chu Xuanzhi's eyes, Master Song surrendered and retreated.
After the people left, Chu Xuanzhi asked: "What else is the county master hiding from me?"
Under the banner of doing good for him, he did several hurtful things. It was really hard for Chu Xuanzang to imagine when Jinghua became so difficult to deal with?
