The Beauty Blogger Chapter 101: Always save money occasionally
"I'm not the one who hurt you!" Si Rao shouted towards Si Yan.
The **** who walked into the room lifted her from left to right, and Si Rao said forcefully, "It's not me! Ah Yan, I know you've been suspicious of me from the very beginning, I, I don't know how to talk to you." Explain...but I will not harm my own sister!"
Si Yan was slightly stunned, and the frightened Si Wan came back to her senses, and grabbed her: "Ayan, this can't be like this, Ah Rao can't be..."
"I never said you harmed me." Si Yan turned her head away, looked at the ground and said indifferently, "I didn't say anything, but you know so clearly, what do you make me think?"
"Ayan, you..." Si Rao's words froze, she forced the **** who was holding her away, and rushed to Si Yan, "Many people in the palace know what happened to you at the Clothes Bureau. When you asked about the seal, it became clear that you were suspicious of me and Fourth Sister. But Ah Yan, I don’t know how the stamped paper was lost, but it was definitely not used to harm you!”
Si Yan looked at her: "Then today, what you gave me was rewarded by the empress, and it was recorded step by step. The mercury in it didn't hurt me, could it be that the empress hurt you?"
"Mercury?!" Si Rao was startled. She was obviously stunned, but after Si Yan ridiculed "it's fake" in her heart for a moment, she felt more and more convinced.
She frowned: "You want to say that you don't know?"
"I really don't know..." Si Rao shook her head in a daze, and held her hand in confusion, "Ayan...Ayan, believe me, we are sisters from the same family!"
Si Yan was a little shaken all of a sudden, she looked at Qi Guanyi hesitantly, Qi Guanyi showed no expression: "The matter involving poisoning, it's not that Si Yan can not pursue it if she says she doesn't pursue it."
As he spoke, he winked at the two eunuchs: "Give it to Gong Zhengsi."
"Ayan!!!" Si Rao burst into tears, she stretched out her hand to grab Si Yan, but was quickly broken apart by the eunuch, and she cried out while being dragged out, "Ayan, trust me!!! I don't dare to explain to you clearly because I'm afraid of being sent to the court for trial... Ah Yan, I didn't harm you!"
Then the voice suddenly stopped, it should be gagged. Si Yan looked at Qi Guanyi in fear, and Si Wan also looked at him, but did not dare to intercede with him directly.
She held Si Yan's hand tightly: "Ayan, you...you have heard of how powerful Gong Zhengsi is, you, you at least say a few words for Ah Rao..."
Si Yan's thin lips were tightly pursed, her mind was so empty that she didn't know what to say, Qi Guanyi looked at her and said, "It is impossible for Gong Zhengsi to interrogate without punishment, but I can keep them from getting hurt."
As soon as the matter of "execution" was brought to light, Si Yan even suffocated her breath.
She has seen Ming Lan's appearance after being tortured, and the blood stains all over her body make her even terrified even now by imagining it. No matter how you put it, her bond with Si Rao was deeper than that with Ming Lan, thinking that Si Rao would do the same... She could only pray that Si Rao really did it!
When Qi Guanyi led people away, neither Si Yan nor Si Wan could react. The room was quiet for a while, before Si Wan tugged her again: "Ayan..."
"Huh?" Si Wan's face turned pale, "If there is any progress, His Royal Highness will let you know in time..."
"Probably." Si Yan looked at her, and her eyes that were still in shock also came back from the door, "Then, can I stay with you for a few days? What if something happens to Ah Rao... ..."
"Sit down." Si Yan held her backhand, "Fourth Sister, don't worry too much, His Royal Highness Seventh acts properly."
She felt soft-hearted for a moment, and was pushed by her emotional thinking to tell Qi Guanyi not to investigate, but in the end, reason prevailed.
If the person who does this kind of cruelty doesn't find out, it's not only a problem that she won't feel at ease, but it will also make the suspicion between their sisters always exist. Then it would be too bad if it was really done by outsiders. They are jealous of each other and be wary of their own sisters. Outsiders will have more opportunities to take advantage of them. I am afraid that they will not even know how they died.
So Si Wan lived in Si Yan's room that night, and the next morning, the queen sent a message for the two to go together.
After they met the ceremony, the queen said in a low voice: "I have heard about Gong Zhengsi's affairs. There are so many things about your sisters, and none of them are safe."
Both of them lowered their heads and did not speak. The queen looked at Si Wan and said, "One of them has been taken away, and Wei Meiren has to add more people. I will directly ask Tian Tian to send two of them over, and you will accompany them in the Changqiu Palace." Accompany Si Yan."
Si Wan bowed her knees and said "Yes", the queen waved her hand: "Go down, I have something to ask Si Yan."
Si Wan looked at Si Yan uneasily, and Si Yan nodded to indicate that it was okay, so she retreated. Si Yan stood in front of the queen by herself, watching her nose and heart, and the queen leaned on the arhat bed and looked at the beam for a while, then suddenly laughed.
What does this mean...?
Si Yan secretly glanced at her, then lowered her eyes. The queen looked at her: "You said that Lao Qi didn't dote on you, but that you like each other. I believe it now."
The queen suddenly mentioned this, making Si Yan a little confused. She lowered her head and waited for the next sentence, and the queen was also silent for a while, and continued: "The more you like it, the more careful you are when you protect the other party. Otherwise, he will just send your sister off, and show others that his love is Already."
Si Yan still doesn't quite understand what she wants to say...
"Did he tell you that the matter of poisoning is not something you can not pursue if you want to?" The queen looked at her with a smile.
Si Yan nodded truthfully. There is such a sentence, and it is said very seriously, and the tone of involuntary speech is that it must be so according to the rules, and there is no room for her to argue.
The queen stared at her: "Then if I tell you that this matter is not as big as he said, you can not pursue it if you don't pursue it?"
Si Yan froze.
"Of course, I don't care what happens to you sisters. It doesn't matter to me whether you live or die." The queen leaned back on the back, and said in a relaxed voice with a slight smile, "I just I'm worried that your elder sister will die in Gong Zhengsi's prison in an accident, and you will turn against Lao Qi, it's rare for him to care so much about a girl's family, and I don't want to see him feel sad."
"Does the empress want me not to pursue it?" Si Yan asked bluntly.
The queen answered more bluntly: "I want you to understand that it is you, not Lao Qi, who are responsible for the decision on this matter. As for whether you want to pursue it or not, that has nothing to do with me."
Si Yan remained silent.
"In any case, if it's really her, then I'm worrying about it for nothing. If you think she's dead, you won't be soft-hearted. But if it's not..." The queen's eyes lighted slightly, "Or she died before the trial. ——It’s not that these two situations have never happened before, you have to weigh it carefully, whether you will blame the old seven for no reason, and then decide what to do about it.”
Ginger is still old and spicy!
Si Yan got into a tangle after being hit head-on with such a question. What's even more "spicy" is that the empress made it so clear to her that if something happened, even if she could blame Qi Guanyi originally, she couldn't blame her now.
At that time, she will definitely only blame herself, and regret why she didn't stop this matter in advance, which is obviously within her ability.
But now that she is really blocking her, she can't help but think what if it really is Si Rao? This block will not be easy to check in the future.
It's really tricky. The queen threw this question to her to make her hard to die.
Si Yan deeply felt the queen's mentality of "As long as the son is not wronged, I don't care what you do", and she was very upset, but she could understand her thoughts.
So Si Yan went back to the house after being bored for an afternoon, and finally made a decision: "I'll go to Gong Zhengsi!"
Si Wan was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I'll go with you!"
"Farewell, I'll go see Fifth Sister and see if I can discuss this matter face to face. It's hard to talk to more than one person." Si Yan pushed the door out as she spoke, turned back after thinking about it, and turned the table away. Put a few dishes of snacks into the food box, and walked out again, saying, "Miya Masaji is not close to here, I may not be able to come back before lunch. If I don't come back, you can eat first, don't wait for me. "
.
In Gongzhengsi, Si Rao was dragged back to the cell, and the jailer threw her on the straw pile and left. After a while, she heard footsteps, raised her eyes and saw the boots outside the cell door, and immediately shuddered: "Your Highness..."
Qi Guanyi nodded: "Now I don't take you as a prisoner, I just advise you a few words."
Si Rao looked at him blankly.
"Girl, I promise that Ah Yan won't hurt her muscles and bones, but you can't bear it like this." Qi Guanyi sighed, with a helpless tone, "If it's you, you should confess quickly; if it's not you, you have to Tell me what you were doing at the time, and who can testify to you, so that the suspicion can be cleared away. You just say no, which is the same as not saying anything.”
He has never taken such a difficult case. He has done a lot of interrogation, leading troops outside to interrogate the captured enemy soldiers and his own traitors, but this time is very different, this is Si Yan's own sister.
He pondered for a while, looked at her and said, "Do you like Brother Jiu?"
Si Rao raised her eyes and glanced at him, but didn't respond.
"And you also know that Ninth Brother likes Ah Yan." He said again.
"But I also know that Ah Yan likes you, Your Highness..." Si Rao cried weakly, "I didn't do it! I can't think of anyone who can testify for me, but it's not me... Your Highness, you can kill me, but You can't let me bear this crime!"
She clenched her hand tightly, clutching a handful of straws, and several straws became bent and twisted under such brute force: "I didn't harm her... I just couldn't find a witness..."
"I can find witnesses." The voice behind him made Qi Guanyi shudder. He turned around, a little surprised: "Ninth Brother?"
"Seventh Brother." Qi Guanbao bowed, "When Ah Yan was in the Clothes Bureau, she would go to my mother and concubine eight out of ten days. She was in Yining Palace when someone gave me the paper stamped with Seventh Brother's seal."
He kept his eyes down all the time, neither looking at Qi Guanyi nor at Si Rao. After a pause, he sighed: "So... at least it wasn't her that time. As for this time, I don't know."
A few steps away, Si Yan, who was walking this way with a food box, stopped in the middle of this conversation. She looked at the three of them in surprise, and when she saw Si Rao sitting up suddenly, she felt something was wrong and let out a cry "Fifth Sister—" but he didn't stop shouting.
With a muffled "bang", Si Rao slammed into the stone wall, her body limply slumped, a stream of rich blood dripped from the wall, and the dark red color hurt her eyes.
"Miss Si!" Si Yan heard Qi Guanyi scream.
Immediately afterwards, the jailer also yelled one after another: "Hurry up and save the prisoner! The prisoner committed suicide!"
Then in a trance, she saw the prison door being opened in the chaos, and Qi Guanbao rushed in, supported Si Rao's body, and shouted in a broken voice: "A Rao!"
