Chapter 850: Chapter 851: There Really Are A Lot of Scapegoats~ Chapter 850: Chapter 851: There Really Are A Lot of Scapegoats~ …
Once the Ministry of Justice confird that Qi Yin and Qin Yin had been poisoning Fifth Prince Su Chengjin only to avenge their brother, with no conspirators involved, the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Justice reported the matter to the Emperor of Xiyun.
Subsequently, those who were innocently implicated were finally acquitted of all charges.
Because Gong Juechen had cleared the remaining poison from the body of Fifth Prince Su Chengjin, the Emperor of Xiyun rewarded him with many gifts.
The mont Gong Juechen received the rewards, he accepted them with extre respect and honor on the surface, but inside, he was sneering.
There really are many scapegoats~
Thinking that it’s absolutely impossible for to believe that the poisoning of the Fifth Prince has nothing to do with Su Haoyu!
This matter, it definitely has sothing to do with Su Haoyu!
…
February the eighteenth.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi were sowing seeds near the entrance of their ho, and those seeds had been mixed with arsenic.
Concerned that the four children might co into contact with the arsenic, An Jing and Xiao Changyi did not keep the four children nearby; instead, they had ng Zhuqing watch them as they played in the yard at ho.
“Husband, once these seeds sprout, we will know the effect of mixing them with arsenic,” An Jing said while sowing the seeds and talking to Xiao Changyi.
“Hmm.”
Only after An Jing and Xiao Changyi had finished sowing the arsenic-laced seeds did they go to the river to wash their hands.
After washing for a good while and ensuring their hands were clean, An Jing and Xiao Changyi returned ho.
Once ho, An Jing and Xiao Changyi changed their shoes and clothes and even took a bath, fearful that they might accidentally carry arsenic on their bodies since the four children often liked to cuddle up to them, and this was a safer precaution.
For the sake of their four children, An Jing and Xiao Changyi bore the inconvenience without a single complaint.
Later, An Jing looked after the four children in the courtyard while Xiao Changyi went to the river to wash their changed clothes.
The river was conveniently located next to their ho.
Because the terrain here was flat, the river was not swift and was clear enough to see to the bottom; surrounded by mountains lush with greenery, the scenery was truly beautiful.
Since there was nothing further for ng Zhuqing to tend to, An Jing let him go.
ng Zhuqing did not imdiately return to the Imperial Capital after leaving An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s, but first surveyed the surrounding area within two li of their new ho to ensure there was nothing amiss. Only then did he head back to the Imperial Capital.
By the ti he arrived back in the Imperial Capital, it was nearly dark.
Upon reaching the gate of the General’s residence, ng Zhuqing dismounted, tossed the reins to the doorkeeper in a manner that clearly ant for the servant to take the horse to the stable.
Just as he tossed the reins to the doorkeeper, ng Zhuqing was about to enter the residence; however, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wild Goose Jade dressed in black and wearing a black veiled hat leaning against a corner, nearby, with a sword, her deanor icy and peerless.
ng Zhuqing imdiately stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and looked at Wild Goose Jade with a mix of surprise and delight.
Upon seeing him look her way, Wild Goose Jade first t his gaze, and then turned and walked into the alley.
ng Zhuqing hurriedly followed her.
Upon following her into the alley, ng Zhuqing saw Wild Goose Jade erge from the alley; he could only see a glimpse of her clothing.
ng Zhuqing hurriedly pursued her again.
It wasn’t until they reached a wooded area that Wild Goose Jade finally stopped, turned around, and stood there, emotionless yet breathtakingly aloof, staring at the person who had chased after her.
“Miss,” ng Zhuqing called out to Wild Goose Jade as soon as he caught up, his voice unable to hide his joy. Truth be told, he was indeed very pleased to see her.
