Xianzong's demise was a major event that shocked the capital and even the whole world.

The emperor did not issue an imperial edict to set up a crown prince before his death, and the two kings divided the various regions. When they learned of this, they all had their own thoughts and went to Beijing under the guise of going to the funeral. They all planned to seize the dragon chair, and they all wished to bring their personal guards with them. At the gate of the palace, a real battle will be fought with real swords and guns, and the winner will be defeated.

After the death of Li Xiang, the emperor also ruled the honored guests, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had no leader, and lost their position for a while. People who used to be afraid of the emperor's prestige and did not dare to form a party were forced to stand in line. Those who chose the wrong camp or still refused to bow their heads There is only waiting for death, so everyone is in danger, and they are cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of making mistakes.

Under such a chaotic court situation, naturally no one wanted to investigate the cause of Xianzong's death, and had to find out the cause and effect.

However, there is one person who is an exception.

——Si Ye.

The minister of Dali Temple, who was once oppressed by Yushitai and Lin Xici, was never seen by Emperor Xianzong until after his death, and couldn't even catch his breath when he learned that Emperor Xianzong passed away. After the meeting, he came to the door soon.

"The lower officials think that it is easy for people to misunderstand that Lord Hou met the wrong people at the inappropriate time and place. The lower officials also act impartially. After all, such a big event as the emperor's death must be given A reasonable statement by the historian, otherwise there would be no explanation for the world and Qing History, wouldn’t it?”

Sitting face to face with Si Ye, Qin Zhiyu knew that he doubted him but did not avoid it. He added new tea to his cup in front of him. It overflowed and flowed down the table to Si Ye's lap.

Faced with such a situation, Si Ye remained as unmoved as a mountain, even though the tea soup made his flesh turn red, he did not take half a step back.

Impressed by his aura, Qin Zhiyu shook his head helplessly, finally stopped, and put down the teapot, "Master Si Ye is really courageous, I respect you for being a man. Yes, I really killed that dog emperor. "

"You admit it? Assassinating the emperor is a serious crime that affects the entire family. You don't want your life, don't you even want your wife, children and relatives!"

Qin Zhiyu got up with his hands behind his back, stood in front of the door, looked at the beautiful scene in the courtyard, noncommittal, "Killing an emperor is to kill the nine clans, but it is only natural for him to kill my Xici. "

"you……"

"Master Si Ye is scalded. There are some crushed ice in the cellar of my Marquis Mansion, which can help you clear up the blisters. Please don't refuse, sir. When you recover from your injuries tomorrow, you can leave here."

After finishing speaking, Qin Zhiyu ignored Si Ye's yelling behind him, stepped out, closed the door, and said calmly to Si Ye who was yelling at the door panel: "I still have one person to kill, just tonight, please trouble Si Ye!" Lord Ye wait for one night. After that, I will return to the case, thank you."

"Qin Zhiyu! After seven years of death, do you still want to avenge him! Enough people have died so far, turn around!!"

The man didn't listen, and the footsteps of leaving didn't stop for a moment because of his words.

Capital, Princess Mansion.

Qin Zhiyu stood in front of the mansion, looking at the despondent people inside wearing sackcloth and filial piety, and thought that this pair of father and daughter who committed evil things really love each other like the sea, if they can go on the road together, it will be a kind of gift to them .

He held up the hem of his clothes and drove straight in, until Xiao Wanqing recuperated in front of the Yonghe Tower. For some reason, none of the servants saw him today, and no one even guarded the door he entered.

Could it be that the eldest princess lost her mind after crying after losing her father?

Thinking in this way, Qin Zhiyu entered the door, first bowed to the empty main seat, bowed his head and said his intention of coming, "Little Hou Qin Zhiyu, I pay my respects to Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Since it is impossible to respond.

He stepped up the three steps again, repeating the words word by word. This time, there was some movement upstairs, which seemed to be the sound of fabric rubbing. It should be someone getting up from the bed. The movement was very slow, probably Dragging the sick body.

After a while, a voice came from above, "Master Hou, please come in quickly."

Qin Zhiyu got the answer, and then went upstairs.

Yonghe Tower is the residence of the eldest princess Xiao Wanqing to recuperate from illness. It has three floors. The uppermost part is isolated from cold and damp. Feeling.

When he went up, Xiao Wanqing was leaning against the side of the bed, caressing his throbbing chest, blushing slightly, and forced a smile at him.

"You made Hou Ye laugh. You returned to the capital triumphantly. I should be happy to clean up the dust for you. However, my father suddenly... I am so sad, my old illness is getting worse, and it is even difficult to get out of bed. Lord Hou, please forgive me."

"Why did the princess get seriously ill? What happened during the seven years I was away?"

Xiao Wanqing shook his head, "I have suffered from the root cause of my illness when I married Yueshi far away, and I have not been cured when I returned to Dayuan. The imperial doctor said it was asthma, which could not be cured and would lead to a short life. One day counts as one day, what more can you ask for.”

"Asthma. I heard that this disease will recur in cold weather and rheumatism. When it occurs, it is difficult to breathe, sleepless all night, and even has the desire to die. It is really hard, Your Highness... Speaking of it, no one on the way I came here just now I didn't see it, how can you do it without anyone around you to wait on you?"

"It's okay, it's just one day, I can't die..."

Xiao Wanqing got up with difficulty, put on a coat, and walked to the window closest to her with great difficulty. When she opened the window, she could see the mournful Miyagi in the distance, and could faintly hear the eunuch's presiding over the high-profile .

"Father is gone, so suddenly, people are caught off guard... As a daughter, I haven't even seen him for the last time, so I have done my best by asking my son to kneel on my behalf for a few hours... "

She turned around slowly, but saw Qin Zhiyu was so close to her face, she quickly covered her mouth in fright, and looked at this man with eyes full of indifference in horror.

With his hands behind his back, Qin Zhiyu approached Xiao Wanqing, and said calmly: "It seems that the eldest princess has also tried her best to give me time to be alone. If this is the case, I will not go around in circles with you."

He squinted his eyes and smiled softly, but he saw that Xiao Wanqing was terrified. The next moment, he was grabbed by the wrist and threw him on the bed. Before she could call for help, Qin Zhiyu pressed up and strangled her hands. Press her into the quilt.

"Qin... what are you going to do, let me go!!"

"Your Highness is very foresighted, and sent away those who got in the way early. Don't panic, I won't do anything to you, I just want to talk to you calmly about... about Li Sansi."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Wanqing, who was clamoring and struggling, immediately calmed down, showing a composure that was not in line with usual.

She pushed Qin Zhiyu's hand away, forced herself to sit up, and deliberately pretended to be regretful and helpless.

"I deeply regret the death of Xiangye. He was a pillar of Dayuan. He assisted his father for many years. He devoted himself to the court and died. He is admirable. However, the scandal between Mrs. He and his father hit him hard. He questioned the life experience of his only son, suspected that he was not his own, and wanted to investigate thoroughly but was afraid that the end would be unbearable for him. In the end, he forced himself into a desperate situation and died of depression, which is really a pity."

"Death of melancholy... Can you stop mentioning the four words that are like a joke?" Qin Zhiyu laughed angrily, "How did he die, don't you know? You are so cautious that even assassins dare not trust you, A woman who is so careful that she has to do it herself is still acting hypocritical, wouldn't he, they, scream at you in your dream and ask for your life?"

"You... what do you mean! Are you doubting me?"

Qin Zhiyu pulled out the cloth bag from his sleeve and threw it in front of Xiao Wanqing. She was apprehensive, but she had to open it, peeling off layer by layer. When she saw what was inside, she immediately screamed and threw the bag away, rolling and crawling on the ground. He stepped back and looked at Qin Zhiyu with eyes full of horror, unable to complete a sentence.

"You... you actually dug..."

"That's right, I dug Li Sansi's grave. If I didn't do this, how could I find out the real cause of his death and the murderer."

Qin Zhiyu was very calm, picked up the blade that fell on the ground, held it in his palm, and looked at it carefully.

"You think it's the end when he's buried. You're too naive. As long as someone has doubts about the cause of his death, the truth will become clear one day. No one will forget what Li Sansi has done, just like someone will always remember Lin Xi It’s the same as saying goodbye to the suffering you suffered in the past, you should pay for it, and you can’t escape a single cent.”

He sat down and faced Xiao Wanqing whose face turned pale with fright, and put the blade wrapped in the veil on the edge of the bed so that both of them could see clearly.

The other party was so frightened that he was at a loss and kicked the thing down. He picked it up again and again and put it right in front of him, until the other party was shocked by his eyes and did not dare to act rashly again.

"I always thought that after Li Sansi was assassinated, the murderer cut off the hilt of the knife in order to torture him, leaving the blade in his body and taking his life slowly. Later, after asking a craftsman to polish off the rust on the murder weapon, I Then I realized that was not the case...Your Highness, look, the handle of the knife is not broken, but the wooden handle has been pulled away, which shows that the murderer fled in a hurry after injuring someone, even before confirming the death of the victim. Absconding in fear of crime. This brings up a question, what kind of knife is so weak, as a tool for killing people, it falls apart at the touch of a knife, isn't it too bizarre?"

Qin Zhiyu pushed the evidence forward again, but Xiao Wanqing avoided looking at it, so he pinched her chin, forcing her to look directly at the murder weapon that took Li Sansi's life.

"The curved blade hidden in Li Xiang's body is different from the standard commonly used by the Han people. If it is not something from the Central Plains, the problem will be solved... The murder weapon is a marriage knife given by the Yue family when he married the princess. Knife, unite to unite, separate to separate, implying that the two countries will let their wives go home when they are at war, and live up to the deep love between husband and wife. I think that during the civil strife of the Yue clan, no one should have said this to you, so that you spent days and nights after the murder. Frightened, I didn't feel at ease until Li Sansi went to the ground."

Qin Zhiyu smiled, and gave Xiao Wanqing the illusion that he wanted to let go, and struggled to get out of his shackles, but how did he know that this behavior angered him instead, and he pinched her jaw more and more, the pain was so painful She cried tears.

"Let go, let me go...I admit, I admit that Li Xiang was killed by me!"

Only then did Qin Zhiyu give up, and turned to stroking her head, comforting her softly: "Good boy, you don't have to suffer if you admit it. So, what's the reason?"

"I……"

"Also, who is the person who covered up the truth for you after you committed the murder?"

The author has something to say: Please remember this Si Ye who is still in a normal state.
