"Why do I say that?"
Chu Ruoqi frowned, not very willing to believe Chu Yichen.
Chu Yichen suppressed his anger and asked, "Then what do you want to say? Tell others that you are not possessed by evil spirits, but that you are just as stupid as a pig and deliberately jumped into the ice cave under the instruction of the prince to frame an insignificant bitch?"
Chu Yichen was so angry by Chu Ruoqi that he had no patience, his voice rose slightly, and he stopped even mentioning Song Wan's name.
Chu Ruoqi originally thought that Chu Yichen would defend Song Wan openly, but she was stunned when she heard this.
Chu Yichen didn't know what the situation outside was like at this moment. He glanced at the palace servant waiting nearby and said in a low voice: "Come out with me later. No matter what others say, you just pretend to be stupid and say you don't remember." Now, come home with me early tomorrow morning, do you understand?"
There were still several days before the end of the Winter Laurel Festival, and Chu Ruoqi didn't want to leave the palace so early. Just as she was about to refute, Chu Yichen narrowed his eyes, and the cold evil aura scraped Chu Ruoqi's face like an invisible blade.
You know it¡¯s bad for me.
Chu Ruoqi pursed her lips and reluctantly swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Knowing that Chu Ruoqi was not convinced, Chu Yichen said coldly: "I have been a little harsh on you recently, but you have to think clearly that you are my blood-related sister after all. I will not harm you, but if If you insist on seeking death, I will not stop you, I will only find a way to clean up the Weiyang Hou Mansion."
Chu Yichen¡¯s words were quite straightforward. At the critical moment, he would choose to defend the Yanghou Mansion and would not care about Chu Ruoqi¡¯s life or death.
Chu Ruoqi immediately felt abandoned and panicked, but she couldn't help but bow to Chu Yichen. If he really regarded her as his biological sister, he shouldn't have said such things.
Chu Ruoqi gritted her teeth and said nothing. After a while, Chu Yichen asked, "Have you thought about it clearly? Do you want to stay here by yourself or go out with me now?"
Chu Ruoqi didn't respond. Chu Yichen didn't give her much time to think about it. He stood up and prepared to walk out. After taking two steps, Chu Ruoqi called out: "Brother."
Chu Yichen stopped and Chu Ruoqi whispered, "I'll go with you."
Chu Yichen did not look back and said, "I'll wait for you outside. Pack yourself up before coming out."
The palace attendants quickly helped Chu Ruoqi get dressed, and Chu Yichen took Chu Ruoqi outside.
The atmosphere outside was condensed. Zhao Yi also came at some unknown time. He and Zhao Ying were staring at each other with big eyes. Another mess was added to the ground. I don¡¯t know who smashed the tea cup again. The queen sat on the main table with her head propped up. He looked tired, his brows furrowed and he looked a little painful.
After assessing the situation at a glance, Chu Yichen withdrew his gaze, did not ask what had just happened, and led Chu Ruoqi forward to salute the queen.
The quarrel stopped after they came out, and everyone's eyes fell on Chu Ruoqi. The queen cheered up and looked at Chu Ruoqi and asked: "Qier, how do you feel now?"
Chu Ruoqi's whole body was still feeling hot, and her head was swollen and heavy. When she heard the Queen's concerned inquiry, the tip of her pen became sour that she almost shed tears.
¡°If her aunt and eldest brother really loved her, she wouldn¡¯t be in this situation today.
Chu Ruoqi shook her head and said: "Back to aunt, the imperial doctor said that Qier was frightened and her body was invaded by cold air. It may take a few days of high fever to recover. However, Qier is now fully awake. She was disturbed so much in the middle of the night. Man, please forgive me, aunt."
Chu Ruoqi now put away her claws and became well-behaved, but the queen did not feel comforted by this. She nodded and got to the point, asking softly: "Do you still remember how you fell into the water tonight?"
Chu Ruoqi raised her head and glanced at the queen anxiously, and then said: "Aunt, Qi'er doesn't dare to say anything about what happened tonight."
The queen was quite dissatisfied with Chu Ruoqi in her heart, but she still played the role of a kind and loving elder and said: "With so many people here, what are you afraid to say? If you have any grievances, I will take care of you." Make the decision and seek justice.¡±
Chu Ruoqi raised her eyes and glanced at the Queen again. She seemed to be inspired by the Queen and gained courage, and said, "Qier was pushed into the ice cave by Song Wan!"
This was different from what Chu Yichen had just explained. Chu Yichen turned his head and glanced at Chu Ruoqi in shock. Chu Ruoqi ignored Chu Yichen and continued: "Qier was in a bad mood tonight, so she took the maid with her. Zi was wandering around and unknowingly lost track of time. When they arrived at the Ice Lake, Qier saw Song Wan standing alone on the lake. Qier tried to call her but she refused, so Qier walked to the lake to check, worried. When something happened to Song Wan, Qi'er asked the maid next to her to call someone. Unexpectedly, as soon as the maid left, Qi'er's body was controlled by a strange force. She walked forward involuntarily. When she arrived next to Song Wan, Qi'er Just discoveredsp;The queen said: "Wei Heng is really kind to you."
Song Wan fell on the ground and said, "Prince Wei only felt sorry for me, so he gave me this kind of charity."
The queen pursed her lips and looked at Song Wan in a daze.
Is Song Wan pitiful?
It is certainly pitiful that the little girl who was originally held in the palm of someone's hand, pampered and protected, suddenly lost her home, lost her loved ones, and was exiled as a prostitute, but the Song family's end was not unfair at all.
As a minister, you can just do your duty with your salary. If you forget your identity when your master relies on you a little bit, think that you are the moral code, and do not stop even if you are beaten and warned, that is self-indulgence. Asking for hardship.
Thinking like this, the queen's eyes turned cold when she looked at Song Wan, and she solemnly ordered: "Raise your head."
Song Wan raised his head and looked at the queen with a pair of soft and clear eyes. Her eyes were calm, without sadness, joy, or resentment.
The Queen thought of what Chu Ruoqi had just shouted and asked, "The Song family was raided. Have you ever resented His Majesty?"
Song Wan knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is wise and will never judge an unjust, false or wrong case. I will never dare to have any resentment against Your Majesty."
"No?" the queen repeated these two words, and then said, "Your father was tortured in Dali Temple, and even his kneecaps were ripped out. Didn't you ever think that he might have been beaten into a trap?"
These things have always been engraved in Song Wan's heart, but when the queen said it, Song Wan still felt a pain in her chest, but she did not show it and said, "I believe that your majesty's ruling is correct."
Song Wan looked very calm, and the queen continued to test, saying: "After the male members of the Song family were beheaded, no one dared to collect the bodies. Do you know how those bodies were disposed of in the end?"
Song Wan's breathing was stagnant, and he didn't dare to answer for a moment.
The queen didn't think about Song Wan's answer, and said to herself: "Your father is a tough guy. I heard that after death, such a person can easily turn into a ghost and come back to demand his life. After his death, he was skinned by the most skilled widower in Dali Temple. He became a human skin sky lantern, and his bones and flesh were burnt to ashes and grinded into ink. He asked the eminent monk of Yunshan Temple to write the rebirth mantra on the sky lantern one by one. The rebirth mantra was mercifully saved by the Buddha, but your father¡¯s soul should remain forever. They can¡¯t be transcended.¡±
The queen's tone was calm and cold. Song Wan's stomach was churning, and he knelt on the ground and retched.
The queen did not intend to stop and continued: "Not only your father, but also those who were beheaded were made into sky lanterns. By the way, do you know who set these sky lanterns flying?"
Sometimes words, like swords, can kill.
Song Wan felt that the queen was holding a sharp dagger and piercing her heart unscrupulously again and again, hoping to see her lose her composure and reveal her true face of pain.
Song Wan clenched her fists and her breathing became a little rapid. She couldn't spit out anything, so she squeezed out three words from her throat: "Song Qingfeng."
"You are indeed very smart." The queen bent her eyes and praised without a trace of emotion, announcing like Ling Chi, "Those sky lanterns were set free by Song Qingfeng himself. So, do you still not resent them at all?"
Song Wan was so angry that her shoulders were shaking. She said, "I hate you."
"What do you hate?"
The queen immediately asked, her tone seductive and bewitching. Song Wan raised his head, looked at the queen with red eyes, and said word for word: "I hate Song Qingfeng, I want to kill him with my own hands!"
The queen looked at Song Wan, carefully distinguishing the subtle expressions on her face, trying to see if she, Song Qingfeng, and Wei Heng were planning anything in private. But she didn't know if it was because of the headache. The queen's mind was empty. Can't even tell.
Seeing that the queen's face was ugly, the maid who had been serving her couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "My queen, it's too late. You'd better go to bed early."
The queen pressed her temples, ignoring Song Wan's presence, and asked the maid: "Tell me, what would happen if I killed her directly?"
The maidservant was startled, and lowered her voice and said, "Mother, you are sick and confused."
The queen raised her eyes and looked at the maid, her eyes were a little sharp. The maid was a little scared, but she still stepped forward and took the queen's hand and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you leave this matter to the Crown Prince? His Majesty will handle it." To find out the truth.¡±
The queen came to her senses.
Yes, she has to think about her Ying'er. Even if she wants to kill Song Wan, she has to find a more comprehensive way.
