Luo Jiuli was quite surprised to hear Qian Anlu say these words so calmly.
Xiao Mingxuan, on the other hand, looked at him expressionlessly and then looked away.
Don't ask or say anything, indifferent and ruthless.
It's just that the people opposite don't know that the Nine Kings' love is only for Luo Jiuli and outsiders, huh!!
Qian Anlu thought that the Ninth Prince would ask more questions? But now he understood. It was rumored in the capital that the Ninth Prince was indifferent by nature. Now it seems that he is really indifferent.
It was as indifferent as if he punched cotton without any feedback.
But now that the matter was over, he was not embarrassed at all, so he spoke softly and spoke slowly.
"The Qian family is a scholarly family, and the ordinary people are very talented. They have enjoyed countless honors and praises in front of others, but no one knows the hatred and shame hidden in the hearts of the ordinary people-"
This is a sad story that makes people feel pity for the people in front of them.
Qian Anlu, when he was a high-spirited young man, met the charming and charming woman whom he fell in love with for life when he was traveling, who was his future wife.
He didn't describe much about his wife, and all Luo Jiuli heard was the orphan girl and a description of the woman's extremely beautiful appearance.
For the sake of that extremely beautiful woman, he canceled the marriage arranged by his parents. Because he went against his parents' wishes, he almost broke up with the family.
Later, he established a single life and resolutely married the woman. After the marriage, the two of them were in love and lived as a couple of gods for two years.
However, beauty brings not only happiness to women, but also misfortune that comes with it.
Because of a sudden glimpse, the drunken Hu Hongzhi sent someone to steal his wife secretly. When they met again, he and his wife were separated forever.
It rained heavily that night and the thunder roared, just like his despairing heart.
It's a pity that at that time he was not a famous copying master in the capital.
But at that time, Sima Mansion was already at its peak.
He wanted to make trouble, assassinate people, beat the drums, and seek justice.
But how can he compete with the rich and nobles without any weapons or martial arts?
"So, I swear, no matter how much hardship I endure, no matter how much shame is buried in my heart, I will definitely destroy Hu Hongzhi's reputation and die without a burial place."
"He humiliated someone else's wife, so I will find someone to humiliate his daughter and let him feel the heart-breaking pain."
Qian Anlu's calm voice seemed to be narrating someone else's affairs, but Luo Jiuli could still hear the irrepressible hatred in his tone.
"Hu Bingyu was insulted, was it you?"
Luo Jiuli really didn't expect that the person behind the 'bandit' that the palace had captured for so many days was actually a direct student of Nanlu Academy.
Who would have thought of it, no one would have thought of it.
Qian Anlu smiled lightly and said nothing.
Since you plead guilty, then confess all your sins.
"I am not interested in hearing about other people in Sima Mansion. I am asking you."
"How did you enter the Sima Mansion and put this letter of repentance in the study without martial arts? How did you kill Hu Hongzhi, who was a highly skilled martial artist and the commander of the Forbidden Army? Who was the person behind you?"
Xiao Mingxuan's expression remained unchanged and he asked three questions in a row very calmly.
Qian Anlu lowered his head and smiled softly, as if he had already thought of his words.
"Your Majesty, there are so many killers in this world. As long as you give money, it is not impossible to kill the commander of the Imperial Army, not to mention your Majesty."
"How dare you talk nonsense in front of the prince. I think you are seeking death."
Mo Han didn't expect that Qian Anlu would be so bold and reckless as to criticize his master's life and death.
"Looking for death?"
Qian Anlu smiled coldly.
"Actually, I should have died a long time ago. It's just that after so many years, my enemy was not dead, so how could I dare to die first? Now that my great revenge has been avenged, my worries are over."
Before he finished speaking, black and red blood overflowed from the corner of Qian Anlu's mouth.
Luo Jiuli was shocked by this turn of events.
Xiao Mingxuan protected her behind him and waved his hand towards Mo Han.
Mo Han grabbed Qian Anlu's cheeks and saw large streams of black blood flowing out.
"Let me see."
Luo Jiuli made a move to step forward.
Was stopped by Xiao Mingxuan.
"It's useless, he took poison before he came here."
"This method of taking poison is usually used on dead soldiers in order to kill people and silence them, but Qian Anlu used it on himself because he was determined to die."
Qian Anlu fell to the ground, his pupils were gradually dilating, and he could no longer hear clearly who was speaking in his ears.
The feeling of suffocation on the verge of death made him seem to have returned to the time when he was a high-spirited boy, and the woman who looked back and smiled and affected his entire life.
He seemed to see her waving to him, and he stepped forward to hug her. They held hands on the grass full of flowers and gradually walked away.
Until in reality, his raised arms dropped, and he passed away with only a trace of concern.
The death of Qian Anlu shocked the entire Nanlu Academy. President Fan talked with the Ninth Prince in the room for nearly an hour. When he came out, he announced that Qian Zhixue had suddenly fallen ill and passed away.
On the way back, Luo Jiuli felt depressed.
Xiao Mingxuan knew that she was indignant about Qian Anlu's matter, especially since this matter involved the Sima Mansion, so the fairness in her heart was more inclined to Qian Anlu's side.
"Do you really think it was Qian Anlu who killed Hu Hongzhi?"
Luo Jiuli was startled and turned to look at him.
"Hasn't Qian Anlu already confessed? Could it be that the prince has some suspicions?"
"I feel that the evidence and reasons are sufficient. It would be easier for that beast Hu Hongzhi to die so happily."
Xiao Mingxuan didn't say anything. This girl hated evil so much that she was a little emotional in this matter!
At this time, it’s better not to talk about this topic.
——
At the same time, in the capital, a homing pigeon flew into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"grown ups."
The attendant took off the message bamboo tube from the carrier pigeon's feet and handed it to Liang Xunyin, who was hurriedly returning from outside.
Liang Xunyin returned to the study, opened the bamboo tube, and found a note.
There are only six words written on it.
‘Goodbye An Lu, sir.’
Liang Xunyin was silent for a long time and threw the note into the brazier.
"Go to Zhuangzi and tell Uncle Liang that he will take good care of Master Yun."
"yes."
The attendant bowed his head, turned and left.
——
As dusk fell, mansions all over the capital lit up lamps, and even the shops on both sides of the streets lit up lanterns.
At the fork in the inner city, two carriages stopped one after another.
"Master, the second young master asked the master if he would go back to the house with him?"
Outside the carriage, Nan Zhu's hesitant voice sounded.
Compared to the Duke's Mansion, she hoped that her master could stay in the Nine Princes' Mansion, which was safer.
In the carriage, Luo Jiuli glanced at Xiao Mingxuan.
"Does the prince want to enter the palace?"
Xiao Mingxuan didn't move either.
"Enter the palace, but you still return to the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
Luo Jiuli thought for a while.
"Maybe it's not that serious?"
The Queen Mother and Concubine Hu should not act rashly at this time.
