Chapter 1755: A short-lived face

The two sides have different values and different philosophies, so they can't talk.

Turning against each other is not the case.

Only seek common ground while reserving differences!

Xiao Jincheng gritted his teeth, looking at the dog man and woman leaning together, "Forget it! I don't have the ability to stop you, I can only ask you to keep restraint and don't let the palace know."

He compromised helplessly.

He failed Emperor Emperor Jian Shi and failed Emperor Emperor Jian Shi's last entrustment.

He is guilty!

He is a guilty minister!

He had a look of heart-dead, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, his eyes disdainful, "Master Xiao, why make such a gesture, as if we bullied you and tarnished your innocence. The person you should hate is the Emperor; the Emperor framed Prince Shuncheng, causing Prince Shuncheng to be deprived of his title and confined. Not satisfied with that, a bag of poison went down, directly ending Prince Shuncheng's life."

"Was it really poisoned?" Xiao Jincheng, worthy of being a veteran prison official for many years, instantly grasped the core key.

He returned to the Capital this time, also because of investigating the cause of Prince Shuncheng's death.

"Of course! The Ministry of Justice has a complete record, just don't know if it has been destroyed. The Ancestral Temple has suspicions, but because the Emperor protects people, the Ministry of Justice has no choice but to close the case with alchemy poison."

Concubine Jing interjected at this time, "The Emperor killing a confined Prince Shuncheng has no meaning. However, someone is willing to let Prince Shuncheng die, thereby stimulating Empress Dowager Xiao and knocking Prince Ning."

"Are you referring to Empress Dowager Sun?" Xiao Jincheng asked sharply.

Concubine Jing lowered her eyebrows and smiled, saying softly: "I didn't say anything. Master Xiao, don't implicate me. I can't afford to provoke Empress Dowager Sun."

"Did Prince Shuncheng ever disrespect Empress Dowager Sun?" Xiao Jincheng asked directly.

"That's too much." Concubine Jing's expression was half-smiling, "Back then in the palace, Empress Dowager Xiao was the only one in power, with three sons by her side. Prince Shuncheng had no heart, belonging to the type that could be seen through at a glance, and his temper was the most irritable. When treating Empress Dowager Sun, it was inevitable that his words and actions were inappropriate and not very respectful.

Empress Dowager Sun, because of losing power, became more narrow-minded and more mean. She said she didn't mind, but it didn't mean she didn't hold a grudge in her heart. In the few years I was in the palace, I was very respectful to Empress Dowager Sun, but she still remembered me and wanted to kill me several times. Prince Shuncheng, this rebellious son, was even more deserving of death in her eyes!"

Chen Guanlou suddenly realized, "This explains why the Emperor wanted to fool this case. However, Empress Dowager Sun wanted to clean up Prince Shuncheng, why did she have to get poison from outside?"

"Perhaps, at first, she not only wanted Prince Shuncheng to die, but also wanted other people to die. So she got poison from outside. I'm just guessing randomly." Concubine Jing smiled and leaned on Chen Guanlou, "Master Chen, I was frightened tonight, I'm so scared!"

Xiao Jincheng coughed loudly, reminding the two. He cursed in his heart, dog man and woman, restrain yourself. There are people in the room.

Concubine Jing looked at Xiao Jincheng, whose face was ugly, and teased: "Some people really have no eye for the situation. If I were him, I wouldn't have the face to continue staying here."

Chen Guanlou pretended he didn't know anything and just wanted to watch a good show.

Xiao Jincheng pretended he didn't understand, "If Concubine Jing knows anything else, why not say it clearly at once."

Concubine Jing snorted coldly, her face sank, clearly unhappy, unwelcome, and didn't want to talk.

She took a deep breath, knowing that the one surnamed Xiao was not easy to deal with.

She had to take out something real.

She said: "I am a woman in the inner courtyard, and the things I know are limited. If Master Xiao wants to investigate the case, why not go directly to ask Lady Min. She is Prince Shuncheng's wife, accompanied day and night. Prince Shuncheng was poisoned to death, no one knows the situation at that time better than her.

However, this woman, Lady Min, now has only sons and daughters in her eyes, and her mind is full of how to get money. If Master Xiao wants to get information from her mouth, it is best to use silver to open the way, which is more useful than any big truth."

"I didn't expect the Empress not to go out, but she knows Lady Min's situation very clearly. The Empress's news is really well-informed."

Xiao Jincheng was vigilant in his heart, suspecting that Concubine Jing had other human channels in private.

This woman is a ruthless person, she definitely won't sit and wait for death. Operating a dark line, buying a few traitors, is quite normal. Just don't know where the money came from.

He looked at Chen Guanlou.

Brother Chen is really generous to women!

Chen Guanlou was innocent, he didn't do anything.

As for what Concubine Jing did, what does it have to do with him? If you are not deaf or dumb, don't dream of holding left and right. Many times, you have to learn to open one eye and close one eye.

"We women only have this hobby left, chatting about the long and short of the east and west. Lady Min is nominally my daughter-in-law, I care about her, it's very reasonable. Master Xiao, you have already resigned from the position of Brocade Uniform Guard Commander, don't be suspicious when doing things. No one told you that your virtue is very annoying? In these years, haven't you been put in a sack by anyone?"

Concubine Jing scolded with sarcasm, full of firepower.

Chen Guanlou laughed out loud.

It still has to be women, especially beautiful women; scolding people is like acting like a spoiled child, making people unable to get angry.

Xiao Jincheng couldn't get angry, could only endure this evil spirit.

"The Empress's reminder is correct, I will try to correct it in the future. There is much disturbance tonight, another day when I am free, I will come to apologize. Goodbye!"

He left in a hurry, fearing that the two evil ghosts would say something unpleasant again.

He didn't want to hear it!

People dared to leave, Concubine Jing scolded, "A short-lived face, unable to protect himself, and still dare to point fingers at my affairs. Master, should I kill him?"

Concubine Jing lay in Chen Guanlou's arms, "I hate him, hate him to the bone. Seeing him reminds me of some unpleasant things. Now, our affairs are known by him again, I am still afraid."

Chen Guanlou couldn't help laughing, "Although I know you are pretending, I still like it." He stroked Concubine Jing's cheek, "I don't want to kill him, keep his life, okay?"

"Why keep his life, did he save you?"

"That's not true. I have some friendship with him, some things are still useful for him. And, he looks annoying, but in reality, he is not bad, better than many people."

Chen Guanlou explained simply.

Concubine Jing didn't buy it, she bit her lip, "If I must kill him, what then?"

"You are free, I won't interfere. But I won't become the knife in your hand."

Concubine Jing sighed instantly, she noticed the dissatisfaction in the other party's words, she didn't want to fall out with Chen Guanlou, she hoped the two could reach a consensus. It seems there is no hope at present.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't take his life. In the future, I will take the initiative to avoid him, as long as he doesn't come to provoke me, I won't kill him."

"You seem to be very sure you can kill him. He is a Ninth Rank martial artist." Chen Guanlou probed.

Concubine Jing hugged his neck, lowered her head and smiled, "Ninth Rank martial artists may be rare in the Jianghu, but in the palace, they are like crucian carp crossing the river, everywhere. No matter how powerful Xiao Jincheng is, the palace can always find people more powerful than him. I have some face, invite the eunuchs in the palace to help me kill someone, killing someone the Emperor hates, this matter is not difficult!"

It can even be called easy! ===== CHAPTER 1756 =====
