The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Chapter 182 [Beacon in Troubled Times 30]

After learning that Concubine Xian lived in Qingshan Temple outside Jiangzhou City, Yu Hanjiang immediately summoned the shadow guards and directly surrounded Qingshan Temple.

At noon, the scorching sun hangs in the sky, and the sunlight is particularly glaring.

Qingshan Temple has a quiet environment, surrounded by green bamboos, and there is a clear spring flowing. The sound of the stream flowing past the ears, and the regular sound of knocking wooden fish came from the temple, like a place that is indifferent to the world. paradise.

Who would have thought that there lived a woman with a deep scheming mind and a murderous streak.

Yu Hanjiang waved his hand, and all the shadow guards immediately flew into the temple with ease.

In the frontmost temple, a woman wearing a plain green shirt and a nun's hat is kneeling in front of the Buddhist hall, holding a scripture in one hand, and gently tapping a wooden fish with the other.

The footsteps coming from behind and the rustling wind around her didn't seem to affect her at all.

She was still concentrating, reciting the scriptures gently, until a low and cold voice came from behind: "Concubine Xian, when you recited scriptures to the Buddha statue, did you ever think about whether the souls of those people who were poisoned to death by you are still alive?" Can you really rest in peace?"

The woman suddenly opened her eyes.

Those eyes were as clear as water, as if they really saw through the world of mortals.

Even though she doesn't wear makeup on her face now, and only wears a coarse green dress, it is still difficult to conceal her elegant and refined temperament. No wonder the late emperor was fascinated by her, and regardless of her background, he directly brought her back to the palace and made her a concubine.

The woman knelt in front of the Buddha statue, without turning her head, she said: "Amitabha, the poor nun has already escaped into Buddhism. Donor, please be careful. Worldly affairs should not disturb the purity of this Buddhist gate."

Yu Hanjiang sneered: "Really? The Concubine Xian has become a nun. There are no witnesses or physical evidence for what happened 13 years ago. Naturally, there is no way to pursue it. It is a pity that the Concubine Xian fell short 13 years ago, and it is still a failure today."

He waved his hand and said lightly: "Bring Qi Fenghua up."

The shadow guards immediately escorted Qi Fenghua over, and Long Sen personally escorted him.

Qi Fenghua's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Concubine Xian, who was always calm, finally changed her face at this moment. She stood up slowly, and turned around to look at Qi Fenghua in disbelief.

Yu Hanjiang said: "Mrs. Xianfei, do you know your grandson?"

Concubine Xian and Qi Fenghua were relatively silent.

Yu Hanjiang said: "You want to form an alliance with Zhao Guo to help your grandson ascend the throne and become emperor. If I guess correctly, your real identity may be from Zhao Guo, and after you are a famous doctor, you will extract materials from plants to make this Colorless, odorless and highly poisonous, am I right?"

Concubine Xian was silent for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, it's a failure, what a failure!"

That laughter was sharp and piercing, how could there be a "gentle and virtuous" appearance?

A gust of wind blew by, blowing off her hat——she had been cultivating with her hair all along, and her long hair was blown messily by the wind, making her entire face look a bit hideous, and her facial features were even slightly distorted.

After a long time, she stopped smiling and looked at Qi Fenghua with sharp eyes: "Not enough successes, more than failures!"

Qi Fenghua lowered his head angrily.

Concubine Xian said coldly: "As early as when you sneaked back to the palace to look for that bottle of medicine, I guessed that you would mess up this matter! You stupid thing, not even half as good as your father! He Although you have no ambitions, you are at least smart enough, how about you? Idiot!"

Qi Fenghua's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and he didn't dare to refute a word.

Concubine Xian laughed loudly and said: "I was originally a nobleman of Zhao State, but I was exiled to Daqi, and was forcibly brought back to the palace by the dog emperor. I became his concubine, and I couldn't leave the palace even a single step! I planned such a plan in Qi State. For many years, my son was supposed to ascend the throne, and I was supposed to be the Empress Dowager respected by everyone in Daqi! It’s a pity that every time I fail... I fail! How can I be convinced?!”

She looked crazy, and her eyes were bloodshot. Obviously, Qi Fenghua's arrest had hit her hard.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and immediately ordered someone to take her down.

The shadow guards quickly brought her under control.

Concubine Xian didn't struggle, her face was pale, obviously her heart was ashamed.

Up to now, all the cases in the secret room of 8 Hearts have finally been solved.

The assassin route is actually not difficult, as long as you hurry up and lure Xiao Lou brother out, it will be easy to solve the case.

The poisoning case was very complicated, involving two cases.

Thirteen years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was shot to death by a poisoned arrow, and the Empress and Concubine Shu were "died of illness" by poison one after another. In fact, it was the mother of the Eighth Prince who was originally planned by the virtuous concubine from Zhao.

However, she had tried all the tricks, but she missed her own son.

She thinks that all men pursue power, especially princes, who wouldn't want to sit on the supreme dragon chair?She planned everything for her son, wouldn't his son be grateful to her, and after becoming the throne, he would be more filial to her and respect her as the empress dowager?

However, her son slapped her in the face severely when the incident happened, voluntarily gave up the right of inheritance, and pushed the throne to the little prince.

She couldn't control this son who pursued pleasure and didn't want to be an emperor at all.

After she came to Jiangzhou, she decided to train her eldest grandson Qi Fenghua, and wanted her grandson to unite with Zhao Guo to usurp the throne.

It's a pity that in the end, the success came short—Qi Fenghua accidentally left a bottle of medicine at the palace's house, and wanted to bring it out, but met his younger sister Qi Yiyao and Lin Shaobo, the young master of the Lin family, and killed two of them in a row. Lots of things.

That's why he has two bottles of medicine in his arms - one bottle was given to the second prince, and the other bottle was taken out of the palace by him.

Qi Fenghua is indeed not smart and cautious enough, and the Eighth Prince has no intention of being an emperor at all.

The greatest tragedy of Concubine Xian is that she pays too much attention to power, thinking all day about how to kill the prince and the queen... She is a woman with a strong desire to control, she doesn't know her son at all, and she has never asked his son's heart idea.

The Eighth Prince is a man of temperament, not a puppet that she can control at will.

Qi Fenghua was unable to support the wall with mud.

She is a powerful strategist, but a failed mother.

……

A melodious bell rang in Qingshan Temple, Concubine Xian stared blankly at the quiet temple.Her hair was messy, her eyes were blood red, and she looked crazy.Twice in a row, she fell short, and she lost all hope, as if she had aged several years in an instant.
