Chapter 330 Ask Han Qingqiu

Zi'an continued: "The second doubt is why the Empress Dowager gave them a marriage. According to what Zhuang Zhuang said before, the Empress Dowager loves Zhuang Zhuang very much. When she learned that Xiao Xiao had betrayed Zhuang Zhuang , to marry a strong and strong maid, she is not angry but even marry them, isn't it weird?"

Murong Jie hummed, "According to these two questions, what do you suspect? Or, what do you guess?"

Zian stopped talking, she looked at Murong Jie, not knowing what to say or not.

Murong Jie saw her concern, "It's just the two of us, let's talk about it."

Zi'an said: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll say it straight, I suspect that the first time Xiao Xiao went to propose marriage to the emperor, the emperor would not agree."

"However, don't forget that it was the emperor who revoked the marriage between Zhuang Zhuang and Prince Liang. If he disagrees, there is no need to do so. Just let Zhuang Zhuang marry Prince Liang. It was very tense at one time." Murong Jie retorted.

Zi'an thought for a while, "This is also true. If the emperor does not agree, there is really no need to regret the marriage to Liang Guo."

She looked at him, "Could it be that it's the Empress Dowager?"

Murong Jie said: "If it's the Empress Dowager, she doesn't need to read Emperor Hui's will at all in front of the courtiers."

Zian also felt that it made sense, and thought hard, but couldn't come up with an answer, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.

"It seems that if you want to know the truth of the matter, you have to ask Xiao Xiao." Zi'an said dejectedly.

"Obviously Xiao Xiao won't say it, if he says it, he won't have to avoid it for many years." Murong Jie said.

Zi'an spread his hands, "Then this knot has to be tied forever? It can't be untied until the day Zhuang Zhuang dies? With Zhuang Zhuang's pain now, Han Qingqiu's trick is really likely to succeed, asking her to marry someone he doesn't like. Isn't it more painful than killing her?"

Murong Jie suddenly raised his head and looked at her with bright eyes, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Zian looked at him suspiciously, "Is this deadlock going to continue? There is no way to untie it until the day Zhuang Zhuang dies?"

"Not this sentence." Murong Jie said.

Zian thought for a while, and almost forgot what he said just now.

"You said that Han Qingqiu's trick might succeed, that marrying Zhuang Zhuang to someone you don't like is more painful than killing her, do you think so?" Murong Jie frowned and asked her.

Zi'an thought he was questioning his own words, so he raised his voice and said, "Isn't it? How uncomfortable will it be for Zhuang Zhuang? I will spend my whole life facing someone I don't like."

Murong Jie suddenly smiled, "Oh, I see."

Zian looked at him inexplicably, "What do you understand?"

"You like me!" Murong Jie said firmly.

Zian almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "When did I say that? And didn't I just talk about Zhuangzhuang? How did it involve you and me?"

"Zhuang Zhuang never said that marrying someone you don't like would make life worse than death. Obviously, this is what you think. You think marrying someone you don't like will be very uncomfortable. This means that you like me, so you married Give it to me." Murong Jie said proudly.

Zian rolled his eyes, "I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now."

"It's useless, Xia Zi'an, I know you like me." Murong Jie smiled strangely, his mouth almost went behind his ears.

Zian said angrily: "I'm too lazy to tell you, by the way, what do you think about the matter between Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Xiao? I know you have ideas, so you might as well tell them for your reference."

"This king suspects the emperor!" Murong Jie said directly.

Zi'an was stunned, "But, isn't this untenable? As you said, if the emperor wanted to object, why did he cancel the marriage with Prince Liang? After the cancellation, he opposed Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Xiao. Why bother?"

Murong Jie played with the jade wrench in his hand, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, "There is one thing that you have overlooked, that is, Emperor Hui's will was read out by the Queen Mother in front of the courtiers, and the Emperor may not obey it." Emperor Hui's will? Emperor Hui's will clearly states that no one can force Zhuang Zhuang to do what she doesn't want to do. Zhuang Zhuang doesn't want to marry Prince Liang, so this marriage must be cancelled, so that he can be a filial man. Children and grandchildren. However, this does not mean that he will marry Zhuang Zhuang to Xiao Xiao."

"Why? Since he can cancel the marriage, why can't Zhuang Zhuang marry Xiao Xiao?" Zi'an was very surprised. She knew that Murong Jie must have a basis for saying this, and also knew that his ability to analyze things was very strong.

Murong Jie looked at her, "The emperor at that time had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was not stable, and the Marquis of Jingguo was in full swing, and the Xiao family was a military marquis, with military power in their hands. If Xiao Xiao married Zhuang Zhuang again, what would it mean? "

"You mean, the emperor doesn't want Zhuang Zhuang to marry Xiao Xiao because he is afraid that the Xiao family will be assisted by Zhuang Zhuang as the eldest princess, which will directly threaten his throne?"

"I'm not sure. I'm only fourteen years old when this happens. I don't know much about the affairs of the court. It's just that after the incident, Xiao Xiao kept his mouth shut. This king thought about it for many years before he thought of it."

Zi'an remembered that he said before that he didn't care much about the two of them, and he didn't want to care too much. He said that he didn't know much, but it was all fake. He cared, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about it all the time.

Indeed, if Xiao Xiao could be made to succumb, probably only the emperor would be able to do so.

"But why is Han Qingqiu involved? And how did Yaozhi die?"

Murong Jie said: "I don't know, Yaozhi died in the moat, no one saw how she died."

Zian didn't understand. "The moat is not a hidden place. Someone should have seen it when the crime happened. Who investigated this case?"

"The Emperor directly ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate. It was Zhuang Zhuang's request. The Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice personally presided over the case."

"Is it the current Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"No, it's my predecessor, he's already dead, he died of illness." Murong Jie thought for a while, but didn't think of any doubts. "At that time, my king was still young, so I didn't know these things clearly."

Zi'an felt sluggish, after analyzing and analyzing like this, he seemed to have no clear clue, and was in a fog.

The emperor is the most suspicious, but what about Han Qingqiu? The emperor will never help Han Qingqiu, right?

"Is this secret really going to be brought into the coffin by Xiao Xiao? It's really annoying." Zi'an said angrily.

Murong Jie looked at her, "Do you want to help them get back together or simply want to understand this matter?"

Zi An said: "I hope Zhuang Zhuang is happy."

Murong Jie nodded, "If that's the case, you can attack Han Qingqiu. What Xiao Xiao knows, Han Qingqiu must also know. Don't forget, she and Xiao Xiao made this deal."

Zian said angrily, "But do you think Han Qingqiu will say it?"

A cunning flashed in Murong Jie's eyes, "She won't tell you, but she will tell someone."

"Who!" Zi An's eyes widened.

"Yaozhi!"

Zian was shocked, "Is Yaozhi still alive?"
