The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

Qi Qian fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jia Huan became a little anxious, and said, "You said before that Qi Pei's character is fierce and vicious. If he really poisoned the princess and blamed others, you can imagine his actions. How much energy is there. Moreover, Princess Qi Peilian is still not tolerant, and she must put her to death and then hurry up. Now that he knows that you have me by your side, in his eyes, I am naturally inferior to him in everything, but I am ahead of him. He will Can you swallow this breath? Tell me, how will he punish me?"

Qi Qian clenched his hands into fists and said in a deep voice, "Huan'er, don't worry, I will deal with this matter myself, and I won't let you make any mistakes. I will send someone to closely protect you during this time."

Jia Huan said: "Now is not the time to express your determination, but to find a way. Besides, I don't think Qi Pei will engage in any tricks such as assassination. If not, when you explained your relationship with him to him last time He can do it now, and it won't be delayed for more than two months. I think he must be trying to use a knife to kill people, but he didn't do it before the time came. Think about it, if Tuqiongdao met, What will he do?"

Qi Qian pondered and said: "If you talk about borrowing a knife to kill someone, it's better to borrow the hand of the emperor. However, Huan'er, you can't make any major mistakes in the Imperial Academy. He is not easy to pick mistakes. To be on the safe side, why don't I go?" I beg Father to bring you to the Ministry of Industry, so I can rest assured."

Jia Huan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm in the Imperial Academy, and I don't move anywhere. Now that I know his tricks, how can I tell him to plot? You underestimate me, don't you?"

Qi Qian touched Jia Huan's head and said, "I'm worried about you, I wish I could keep you under my nose for a while."

The light in Qi Qian's eyes turned sharp, and he said, "Huan'er, I will protect you as I said, and I will do it. Don't blame me for not caring about the feelings of my uncle and nephew, this time I will The first strike is the best."

Jia Huan hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?"

Qi Qian said: "I have my own set of people under my command. Now let them spread out and understand everything that Qi Pei and his subordinates have done. Of course, the focus can be on the case of the princess."

Jia Huan felt a little relieved, and said: "If it comes out that Qi Pei poisoned the princess and made the eyes of the little emperor's grandson suffer because of it, will he obey the law and pay for his life with his life?"

Jia Huan felt that this crime was enough. After all, although Qi Pei was the grandson of the emperor, he murdered the concubine and the little grandson of the emperor who were equally noble.

Unexpectedly, Qi Qian shook his head slowly and said, "No. He will be imprisoned at most."

Jia Huan couldn't help asking: "How can it be imprisonment? The little emperor's grandson can't see his eyes now. Could it be that the emperor is so partial?"

Qi Qian was a little ashamed, and said: "My father is very protective of the calf. Qi Pei grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he is also smart and easy-going. My father likes him very much. In my father's heart, The concubine is just a daughter-in-law and an outsider. Although my son is also the grandson of the emperor, he grew up outside the palace and has some disabilities. He is far from Qi Pei in terms of emotion. So, according to my guess, father I won't kill Qi Pei for them, at most I'll punish him in the palace and face the wall for a year."

Jia Huan couldn't help but stumbled and said, "Then when he comes out, won't he hate me even more?"

The stern look in Qi Qian's eyes flared up, and he said, "So, this time, I don't move, and if I move, I will kill him, and I must not leave any trouble."

Jia Huan hurriedly inquired, but Qi Qian kept silent at first, and finally said: "Huan'er, with your company, I have no intention of being in the world, I just want to be an idle prince, but if the case of the princess is really What Qi Pei did, this matter must not be good, not to mention that he will be the emperor in the future, and there will be no room for you and me. So, this time, I will fight if I don't fight. Don't ask too much about the details. Many, I already have an idea in my mind, but once this matter starts, it will affect the whole body, and many people will be involved, and I can't predict it."

Huangsan Institute.

Because Qi Pei was only 15 years old this year, and the prince was weak, the emperor ordered him not to live in a separate residence, but to continue to live in the palace.

"got it?"

A guard in black knelt on the ground, solemnly raised a piece of paper that looked like a letter above his head, and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."

A servant took the paper and presented it to Qi Pei.

Qi Pei took it over and took a look, it turned out to be a seven-character regulated poem, the lines were sad and self-pitying to the point of world-weary world.

Qi Pei asked: "This is..."

The man in black said: "This is what we sent people to approach Jia Cairen and induce her to write. There are several other poems with similar styles. This one is the most pitiful, and it may be regarded as the last work."

Qi Pei shook his head and said: "No way. Just a few ambiguous poems cannot point to her crime of murdering Princess Qin, terrified every night and unable to sleep, and it cannot be seen that she was dragged into the water by her younger brother Jia Huan." Where it matters most."

The man in black was in trouble, but he still said: "Your Highness, please allow me to be humble, and then think of a way to see if I can make a suicide note like the one you want?"

What the black-clothed guards worry about is that although Jia Cairen is forgotten by the emperor and sleeps alone every night, she is the emperor's woman after all, and she lives deep in the inner palace. Approach her, coax her, seduce her.The things written now are already extreme, and she will become suspicious if she goes forward.

Qi Qian also thought about this, and said with a sneer: "If she doesn't write, don't you think of other tricks?"

The man in black suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, according to my humble position, this suicide note does not have to be written by Jia Cairen himself. There are many talented people in the world who forged their handwriting to the point of being lifelike. Since Jia Cairen's handwriting I already have it, so I will take it outside to find the chief writer who is good at tracing handwriting, and write a suicide note of the kind that His Highness wants, so there is no need to bother to force Jia Cairen."

Qi Pei pondered and said, "How long will it take?"

The man in black said: "Your Highness, if you want to make it exactly the same, you have to meet it but not ask for it. Sometimes you are lucky and you can get it once, but sometimes you have to try it several times. I guess it may take three to five days. Bar."

Qi Qian frowned, but before he could make a sound, the black-clothed guard was already frightened, and immediately said to himself: "Three days, the humble job should be completed within three days as much as possible."

Only then did Qi Pei calm down a little, and said, "Okay. After getting it, I will try to poison Jia Cairen, and then fake the scene of committing suicide in fear of crime, and put these poem manuscripts and the forged suicide note in her room." inside!"

Five days later, Jia Cairen was found to have committed suicide by drinking poison. There was a suicide note and several sympathetic poems left in the hall.

The emperor took a look at the suicide note, to the effect that Jia Yuanchun lamented that he should not have misunderstood what others said and made a big mistake, but tonight he had nightmares, was pursued by wronged souls, and suffered so much that he had to die to thank him, hoping to be cleared sin or something.

The emperor looked at Nahan and said, "Being pursued by the wronged soul? What has this Jia Cai done to his heart?"

Qi Pei happened to be right next to the emperor, and when he saw what the emperor said, he also pretended to be puzzled, and said: "It can't be a trivial matter of killing a few maids, right? Because of the case of Princess Qin half a year ago? In fact, the princess died at the hands of Jia Cairen, so she was pursued every night by innocent people?"

The emperor pondered and said, "Why did Jia Cairen poison Princess Qin? There is no reason."

Qi Pei immediately said: "Jia Cairen has no reason to poison Princess Qin, but she also said in her suicide note that she misunderstood people's words. Who can ask Jia Cairen to take risks to poison Princess Qin?" ? Grandpa Huang, think about the poor little grandson of the emperor, and investigate this matter thoroughly."

Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, but when he thought of the little grandson who was still blind, he couldn't help saying: "Yes, for the sake of my poor little grandson, my dead daughter-in-law, and the unfortunate Qianer, I must have Investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it.”

Qi Pei took a step forward and whispered into the emperor's ear: "Actually, Uncle Qi doesn't necessarily feel sorry for the death of the concubine, maybe he doesn't care at all. He has a blue face and a confidant, and he is happy not to think about it."

The emperor was surprised again, and said: "Who is behind the scenes? You can explain it in detail."

Qi Pei deliberately pretended to regret his quick talk, and pretended to say: "Oops! Why did I tell Uncle Qi's secret? He should blame me if he finds out!"

The emperor's curiosity had been aroused by Qi Pei, so he naturally urged him to speak quickly.

Only then did Qi Pei speak vaguely, half speculatively and half inductively, telling the emperor that there was already someone beside Qi Qian, and he was a jealous man, Jia Huan, the younger brother of Jia Cairen. They seemed to be hooked up by Qi Qian when he went to Yangzhou for business. After returning to Beijing, Jia Huan might not like Princess Qin because she was afraid that her mother would be expensive because of her son, and Qi Qian would alienate him. Jia Cairen killed Princess Qin.Why can't the origin of the poison be found out after the death of the princess? It's because Jia Huan is a person who is good at medicine, and the medicine he used to treat the prince can't find out the history. Isn't it a piece of cake to prescribe the poison to the princess of Qin?Afterwards, Qi Qian must have guessed a thing or two, but he was sensual, and finally chose to protect Jia Huan, and told the princess to die unjustly, so the case broke out because of the grievances that lingered and entangled the drugged puppet Jia Cairen every night. come out.
