Chapter 1,210: Door-to-Door Interrogation

Chu Qing was told something inexplicably, and he still didn't understand it until the end. At the end, he looked at the two people in front of him who were slowly leaving, chatting and laughing, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Both Chu Liuyue and King Cheng rejected him. He was obviously the one who deserved to inherit the throne. Why did they look down on him, as if he was a beggar?

One day, he will let them see who is the most noble one and who is the one who laughs last.

When Chu Qing returned to the mansion, people from the Ministry of Punishment were questioning some of the servants in the mansion. The Ministry of Punishment had informed him before and saw that the leader of the team was Wen Xichi. Chu Qing calmed down, walked over with a smile, and approached He cupped his hands and said, "Master Wen."

"I've met the prince." Wen Xichi stood up and saluted him.

"What can Mr. Wen find out?" Chu Qing asked kindly. In the past, he basically had no contact with such noble young masters in the capital, but now it is rare for him to have such an opportunity to get close.

"It seems that he is looking for something. Is there anything unsightly in Prince Qing's palace?" Wen Xichi pointed at the case file that had just been interrogated.

The man in black appeared suddenly. He searched from room to room. He didn't know whether he was looking for someone or something. Of course, he might also be looking for King Qing. If he wanted to assassinate King Qing, he would have to find someone like him.

At this point, Wen Xichi felt that it was not very credible. Since such a big move had been made, he must have some knowledge of Chu Qing's whereabouts. If he searched for it from room to room, when would he find it? Watch the man in black. Many of the places we passed were just servants' rooms, but they were farther away.

A very strange way of searching. It didn't seem like he was looking for trouble with the owner, but rather like he was looking for something at random. What was hidden by Chu Qing, and might it appear in a remote place?

Is it related to the little official who was lost by the Ministry of Punishment?

"This king's residence only has such a small space. No one comes here on weekdays. The population of the residence is also simple. If there is anything, I would have found it early. I have just found it now. It can be seen that it is not something important. It doesn’t look like you’re looking for something, I feel like you want to assassinate me!”

Chu Qing frowned and said that being assassinated was the best way to clear his suspicions.

"Your Majesty, do you think it was an assassination?" Wen Xichi asked, raising his eyebrows. There was a light brown color in his eyes, as light as glass, which reflected his handsome face with a bit of aloofness that made people suspicious.

Chu Qing couldn't tell what Wen Xichi meant, so he could only smile and said uncertainly: "Actually, I can't say anything about this. It's true that those people rushed into my prince's palace. Speaking of which, I I'm still confused even now, is it possible that those men in black could still assassinate my mother-in-law and Shao Jie'er?"

He just bit him to death. This was an assassination, no matter who he was stabbing, it was the same!

"Can you let me meet Miss Shao Er?" Wen Xichi said silently.

After Shao Jie'er entered the Qingjun Prince's Mansion, her identity was still not clear yet. Wen Xichi didn't know how to call her for a while, so he used the earliest title.

"Should I ask Shao Jie'er about this?" Chu Qing frowned. If possible, he did not want Shao Jie'er to get involved. Jiang's matter was right in front of him, and Shao Jie'er was also highly suspicious.

"Ask her something. If it is convenient for Prince Qing, Prince Qing can listen on the side." Wen Xichi said with a smile.

"Then...okay!" Chu Qing had no choice but to agree and waved someone to call Shao Jie'er.

After a while, Shao Jie'er came over followed by a maid.

, looking at Shao Jie'er who lowered his head quietly in front of him, a dark light flashed in Wen Xichi's eyes.

Compared with what she had seen before, Shao Jie'er was much more content. When she was at the Xingguo Hou Mansion, she had never been so content.

"I've met Mr. Wen." Chu Qing asked Shao Jie'er to come forward to greet him.

Shao Jie'er obediently took two steps forward, turned sideways and saluted respectfully, and then stood aside with her head lowered.

"Miss Shao Er, where were you yesterday?" Wen Xichi asked, and the clerk who was taking notes quickly picked up his pen.

"I have been in the house all this time, and I have never even left the house." Shao Jie'er whispered, her voice was very soft, and she felt timid, as if she didn't even dare to amplify her voice.

Chu Qing glanced at her displeasedly, but did not answer directly.

When Wen Xichi asked Shao Jie'er, nothing he said was appropriate.

"What was Miss Shao doing when the fire broke out?" Wen Xichi asked.

"When the fire broke out, I didn't know what I was doing at the time. I was doing some sewing, and I was far away..." Shao Jie'er said hesitantly.

"Didn't you hear a sound?" Wen Xichi said with a serious face.

"Yes, there are some, but it's not very obvious." Shao Jie'er said this and looked at Chu Qing timidly, looking very uneasy.

"When did Miss Shao Er know that there had been an accident?" Wen Xichi asked again.

"Later...then when the fire got serious, someone tried to assassinate our prince...I was very scared, so I hid with my maid. Later, our prince sent someone to tell me that it was okay." Shao Jie'er The head lowered.

"Miss Shao Er has been hiding and not coming out to see what's going on?"

"I had never been in that kind of situation before... I was very scared... so I hid..." Shao Jie'er shook her head, looking frightened.

"Second Miss Shao, I heard that you are helping Princess Qingjun manage the backyard. What did you find in the past?" Wen Xichi stopped staring at Shao Jie'er and asked about the fire. He changed the topic and changed the topic.

Shao Jie'er suddenly raised her head, "Master Wen made a mistake. I am not in charge of the affairs in the backyard."

"It's not Miss Shao Er. Is it Prince Qing himself who is in charge?" Wen Xichi asked curiously.

"I..." Shao Jie'er wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Chu Qing with a face full of displeasure, "Jie'er is indeed managing the backyard, but her name must be unfair and her words cannot be obeyed, so I ask Master Wen not to Spread the word.”

This means that what Shao Jie'er said just now was an excuse.

"It's my fault that I was negligent. I thought that Prince Qing was personally in charge of the affairs of the inner court. The concubine had been quiet for many years and would not be willing to take care of such complicated matters. I didn't expect that Miss Shao Er's current identity was not the real one of the inner court. Mistress." Wen Xichi nodded suddenly and bowed his hands to Chu Qinggong to apologize.

Shao Jie'er's face turned red, and then turned pale again.

Her identity is also very embarrassing in the Qingjun Prince's Palace. Originally, with her identity, she was also a concubine. Chu Qing also mentioned this at the beginning, but in fact, after entering the Qingjun Prince's Palace, she has been a concubine. It is not clear, it is said that the main concubine did not come in, so the matter of this status will not be mentioned for now.

Shao Jie'er wanted to marry this one and that one, which made Chu Qing very angry and he didn't dare to mention it more. Shao Jing was not willing to pay much attention to Shao Jie's affairs, so that Shao Jie'er wanted to find someone to support her. There was no one there, especially just a few days after entering the mansion. When I heard that the concubine had asked the servants to call her Miss Shao Er, I

As if she were an unmarried girl.

He was called by the name of an unmarried girl, but what he did was done by a married girl. It humiliated the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, but Shao Jie'er had to endure it. She didn't even dare to let people know that she worked hard to please Chu Qing, the concubine, and the concubine. Although she was mean, Chu Qing's attitude slowly improved under her flattery, and she also got people around her to call her Concubine Shao.

But in front of the concubine, the prominent people around the concubine still didn't give her face, and still called her Miss Shao Er, which was almost a slap in the face.

But even if she slapped Shao Jie'er in the face, she had to endure it.

She used to think that the concubine was a quiet and peaceful person, but she didn't know until she entered the Qingjun Prince's Mansion that she had just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den. The Qingjun Prince's concubine was definitely not the kind of person she was rumored to be. Because she was in Yuhui A gentle woman who has lived in the nunnery for a long time and has a peaceful mind, this concubine is even worse than the Jiang family.

Shao Jie'er suffered a lot and was even beaten.

In front of this concubine, I dare not say one more word or interject one more word.

This is also the reason why when Wen Xichi said that she and the concubine were managing the backyard together, she hurriedly raised her head. The concubine controlled everything in the backyard with one hand. How dare she, a little concubine who is not yet a legitimate concubine, dare to disobey her? What she meant was that she didn't even dare to compete with her. This was a strong woman who clearly liked to be in power.

She powerfully controls everything in the house. Even the outer courtyard, I heard that most of it is under her control. Chu Qing can actually control not much.

Shao Jie'er was very afraid of the concubine and was afraid that the concubine would be angry. She just carefully tried to please Chu Qing and wanted Chu Qing to protect her.

It has been effective recently. Chu Qing said a few words for her. Although the concubine still looked down upon her, she was not as harsh as before. She thought she had finally won Chu Qing's heart.

Now I heard Chu Qing say that his reputation was unfair, and he felt bitter for a moment, his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head again, fearing that Wen Xichi would see the tears in his eyes.

As the daughter of Duke Xingguo, she looked down upon many young ladies, but now she has fallen to this point. She feels that one day she will die in Qingjun Prince's Mansion, and die here without any reason.

She had also seen Miss Mo, the concubine who was about to come in. She was not easy to get along with. The last time she came here, she took the opportunity to slap herself twice. The concubine did not say anything at the scene. Only Chu Qing frowned in displeasure, but he just frowned and scolded himself, asking himself to apologize to Miss Mo.

A small official's daughter actually climbed onto his head. Shao Jie'er was very unwilling and deeply resentful. The veil was tightly tightened, as if it was her own thoughts that tightened it. With the help of Chu Qing's side, At the blind corner, I raised my eyes and secretly glanced at Wen Xichi. I happened to meet Wen Xichi's eyes. Then I quietly raised my hand and pointed. There was an obvious tall tree in that direction, which was close to the corner. It's a little far here.

"Master Wen, you're welcome. If nothing happens, Master Wen, please let Jie'er go back. There must be so many people here." Chu Qing looked at the people from the Criminal Department around him and said.

"I'm really sorry, please Miss Shao Er, please go back!" Wen Xichi nodded and said politely.

"Don't take Miss Shao Er back with you yet!" Chu Qing ordered the maid on the side. The maid did not hesitate to take Shao Jie'er away. No one except Wen Xichi noticed that Shao Jie'er was saying to Chu Qing, "Miss Shao Er." ”, her teeth bit the corners of her lips hard, and now, she is still the second Miss Shao, with sorrow and hatred staining the corner of her eyebrows!
