Chapter 741 Self-Contradictory

Luo Qinghan summoned Xiao Lingfeng and Fang Wujiu to ask about the details.

Neither of them were involved, and they could only recite what others said.

Xiao Lingfeng: "The two female assassins are from Liao, and the Liao country has a grudge against our country. The last general suspects that the assassination may have been deliberately done by the Liao country."

Luo Qinghan: "If the Liao Kingdom wants to take revenge, it should also come to me. The imperial concubine is the princess of Nanyue. What's the use of killing her?"

Xiao Lingfeng has been pondering in his heart for a long time, and immediately expressed his guess.

"Killing the imperial concubine, one can make the emperor lose his love, and the other can provoke a dispute between Dasheng and Nanyue, killing two birds with one stone!"

Luo Qinghan was silent, as if thinking.

Fang Wujiu: "General Xiao's words are not unreasonable, but Wei Chen has something unknown."

Luo Qinghan: "You say it."

Fang Wujiu: "The crossbow arrow that wounded the imperial concubine was coated with poison, but that poison would only make people coma for a short period of time and would not kill anyone. If the Liao people decided to kill the imperial concubine, why didn't they see it? The poisonous blood seals the throat?"

Xiao Lingfeng could not answer.

If you can smear the poison on the arrow, the probability of successful assassination will definitely be higher, and the assassin cannot be unaware of this.

This is indeed a bit strange.

Fang Wujiu: "The assassins didn't use highly poisonous poison, which means that they may not really want to kill the imperial concubine. The assassination is just an illusion. In fact, they have other plans."

Luo Qinghan thought for a while, and decided to call Concubine Jing, Concubine Li, Su Cairen, and Shao Liangren over. They were all people who had personally experienced the assassination. Asking them would definitely better understand the whole story.

The four concubines and concubines were a little surprised. They did not expect the emperor to return to the palace ahead of schedule.

Greetings from both sides.

Concubine Jing's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and her tone was mournful.

"Emperor, my concubine almost won't see you."

Shao Liangren also wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and trembled.

"Those two female assassins are so vicious. The concubine has never encountered such a thing before. Fortunately, His Majesty came back early, otherwise the concubine's heart may not be at peace for a day."

Concubine Li was actually very scared, but she just glanced at the emperor and knew that the emperor didn't care whether she was afraid at all, so she simply didn't say anything.

Su Cairen kept his head down and didn't speak.

Luo Qinghan ignored the cry of Concubine Jing and Shao Liangren, but looked at Xiao Lingfeng beside him and motioned for him to ask questions.

Xiao Lingfeng took a step forward and bowed his hands to the four concubines.

"The last general was ordered to investigate the assassin thoroughly. Some questions need the help of the four concubines to answer, and the concubines are also requested to answer truthfully."

Concubine Jing nodded: "This kind of thing suddenly happened in the palace, and this palace also hopes to find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise, this palace will not be able to settle down. If General Xiao wants to ask anything, just ask, this palace will definitely There is no answer."

Xiao Lingfeng: "Excuse me, why do you want to summon dancers?"

Concubine Jing frowned: "Are you doubting this palace?"

Xiao Lingfeng: "The maiden is over-hearted, the last general is just doing things as usual."

Concubine Jing glanced at the emperor. Seeing that the emperor's face was always expressionless, she could not tell whether she was angry or angry, so she could only explain bitterly.

"Bengong heard that Su Cairen was going to play the pipa for the noble concubine, and this palace felt that listening to the pipa was too monotonous, so he asked two dancers to come over to help. I didn't know that the dancer was an assassin. , ask the emperor for a lesson!"

Xiao Lingfeng turned to look at Shao Liangren.

"Excuse me, why did you go to see the imperial concubine with Concubine Jing?"

Shao Liangren: "I have nothing to do to gossip with the concubine Jing. I happened to talk about the concubine's illness, so I made an appointment to visit the concubine."

Xiao Lingfeng asked, "Are you very close to Concubine Jing?"

Shao Liangren lowered his eyes: "Concubine Jing is tolerant and kind, and she takes good care of me on weekdays."

When Li Fei heard this, she couldn't help rolling her eyes, hypocritical!

This white eye of hers happened to be caught by Xiao Lingfeng.

Xiao Lingfeng looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

Li Fei's expression froze.

She quickly restrained her expression: "Bengong has nothing to say."

Xiao Lingfeng finally looked at Su Cairen and asked what she knew?

Su Cairen kept his head down from the beginning to the end. Hearing this, he slowly raised his head, revealing a beautiful face.

She bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, with a certain determination in her eyes.

"I don't know how the assassin got here, but I have something to say."

Xiao Lingfeng immediately said, "Please speak."

Su Cairen first glanced at Shao Liangren, and then said.

"When the assassin was attacking the imperial concubine just now, I saw... I saw that Shao Liangren deliberately pushed down the vase, and the vase just blocked the way of the imperial concubine and almost killed the imperial concubine!"

Shao Liangren's face changed greatly when he heard this.

She denied it without thinking: "No! That vase was not pushed down by the concubine. The concubine is innocent. I ask the emperor to investigate!"

Su Cairen: "Concubine Jing was by Shao Liangren's side at the time, and Concubine Jing should have seen it."

Concubine Jing shook her head: "No, the concubine was frightened at the time, and she just ran for her life and didn't notice anything."

Su Cairen looked at her in disbelief: "Why doesn't the mother-in-law refuse to tell the truth?"

Concubine Jing was helpless: "I'm telling the truth, I really didn't notice who knocked down the vase."

Su Cairen was anxious: "You were so close to Shao Liangren at the time, you couldn't have seen it!"

Shao Liangren looked at her with tears in his eyes: "What Concubine Jing said is clearly the truth, why don't you believe it? Do you have to let Concubine Jing only recognize her concubine and murder the noble concubine to be reconciled?!"

Su Cairen: "It's not like this, you are lying, and the concubine Jing must be covering you up!"

Concubine Jing frowned: "Su Cairen, you not only slandered Shao Liangren, but also wanted to slander this palace, what do you feel at ease? Could it be that you are the one who really pushed down the vase and wanted to murder the noble concubine? You deliberately slandered this palace and Shao Liangren, for the sake of It's just confusing!"

Su Cairen was so anxious that his face turned red: "No concubine! What concubine said is true, concubine can swear, if there is half a lie, then concubine will be struck by thunder!"

Seeing that the three of them were about to quarrel, Luo Qing interrupted coldly.

"enough!"

The three of them shut their mouths at the same time and did not dare to say a word.

Xiao Lingfeng looked at the only Concubine Li who was out of the matter and asked respectfully.

"Did Niangniang see who pushed down that vase?"

Concubine Li's gaze swept across Concubine Jing, Su Cairen, and Shao Liangren one by one, and finally stopped on Su Cairen.

Su Cairen was seen very disturbed.

It took a long time to hear Concubine Li speak.

"When the assassin started, Su Cairen was the first to react and smashed an assassin with the pipa in her arms. Later, she did not hesitate to replace her body in order to protect the concubine. To be honest, if she really wanted to harm the concubine, Why do these things? Isn't it contradictory?"
