Chapter 274 Death of Qinglian Zhenren
Bai Wei looked at the dagger stabbing towards her without any fear. It was not because her martial arts skills had recovered, but...
Xiao Minglou kicked Qinglian Zhenren on the shoulder, and then stepped on him. "You are playing tricks, and your brain is not working well. You want to hurt my cousin in front of me. Who gave you the courage?"
True Man Qinglian was stepped on and blood flowed out of his mouth.
Xiao Ling also stepped forward and said, "Tell me, why did you frame my granddaughter?"
True Man Qinglian knew that his situation was hopeless, and suddenly he let out a somewhat crazy laugh.
As he laughed, more blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, his mouth was full of bright red: "The evildoers are in power, causing harm to the country and the people. I want to kill them. What's wrong with that?"
Xiao Minglou stepped a little harder on her shoulder. "If you really have great cultivation and can detect evildoers, you can use magic to defeat me. How could you be stepped on by me? You are about to die and still say these slanderous words about Wei'er. I think you are tired of living!"
This time, he used great force.
True Man Qinglian turned pale, veins bulged on his forehead, beads of sweat dripped down from the pain, and the blood in his mouth became more obvious, but he kept smiling and didn't say a word.
Bai Wei said calmly, "Master Qinglian is deeply trusted by the Queen Mother and appreciated by the Emperor. He had a promising future, but he deliberately framed me at the Taiping Banquet and ruined his own future. To be honest, I already know who asked you to do this today. If you can reveal the culprit, perhaps the Emperor will spare your life."
After these words were spoken, True Man Qinglian was stunned for a second and subconsciously looked at Li.
Li suddenly became extremely flustered, with anger evident in her eyes, but it soon turned into innocence and surprise.
In his heart, he secretly cursed True Man Qinglian a hundred and eighty times.
This idiot, if it weren't for her, she would have died in the snow. I saved her life and let her enjoy a rich life for so many years. She said she would give up everything for me and sacrifice her life, but why should I look at her now!
Bai Wei had actually guessed the answer long ago, and she was just asking knowingly. After all, this Qinglian Zhenren was introduced to the Queen Mother by Li, and Ouyang Ming also said that she was good at fortune-telling, which was naturally because Bai Lian had revealed a lot of information to her. Now she just wanted to confirm it and guide the Queen Mother and the Emperor to think about some issues.
Unexpectedly, this Qinglian Zhenren actually glanced at Li subconsciously.
If you don't look at it, the effect can be achieved. But now it seems that the effect is naturally doubled. Ouyang Ming and the Queen Mother are both smart people, otherwise how could they become the winners in this palace full of bones and countless people?
"Master Qinglian just visited my father's Tianfang, but she instructed you to frame this general?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
"Isn't it said that Minister Bai's step-wife has a gentle personality, is kind and honest, accompanies the Queen Mother in fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and normally wouldn't even kill a small animal. How could she have done something like murdering the legitimate daughter of Minister Bai's family? I don't believe it."
"You must be kidding. Would a kind and gentle person marry into the Shangshu Mansion when his wife's body is still warm?"
"Yes, and there's also the Bai family's illegitimate second daughter, who seems to be only a few months younger than General Bai!"
"Ah, doesn't that mean that Minister Bai had been involved with this woman when his wife was pregnant?"
"To put it bluntly, she is just a concubine, something that is not to be seen by others. It's just that Xiao Ning was a beauty with a tragic fate and died early, so she got promoted."
Li didn't expect that Bai Wei would bring the war to herself.
It’s all Qinglian’s fault for being too stupid. All the years of training her have gone to waste.
Although she felt resentful, she knew she was not in the right and had to endure it.
She stood quietly beside the Queen Mother, looking at those who were talking about her, and subconsciously clenched her hands.
A man stroked his beard and looked unconcerned: "So what? Minister Bai is an important official in the Ministry of Rites of Dongqin. During the period when my wife was pregnant, I was sympathetic to her physical condition and did not dare to hurt her. It is normal for her to have a concubine when her physiological needs are not met, right?
This just shows that Minister Bai is quite considerate of his wife, but Xiao Ning did not take her into the mansion, which clearly shows that Xiao Ning is jealous. "
A woman heard this, frowned, and said sarcastically: "Yes, how noble the man is, his wife is at home raising the children, while he is working hard outside to cultivate other women."
The man was immediately furious: "What do you mean by saying this? Are you mocking me? What I said is permitted by the laws of Eastern Qin, and it is also the rule of our ancestors! Where have you learned the female virtues and rules? You women, one by one, are really corrupt and indifferent to the world!"
Another man echoed, "And Minister Bai is keeping someone outside, which shows that he is taking his wife's feelings into consideration."
He Yun said loudly, "But when Minister Bai asked for Xiao Ning's hand in marriage, he was not the Minister of Rites of Dongqin, and he also promised the Xiao family that he would never take a concubine in his lifetime, so the Prince of Zhennan agreed to the marriage. He did not keep his promise, and you are still speaking for him, so you must be untrustworthy."
The man was stunned and was about to start a fight, pointing at He Yun, but he saw all the Xiao family members not far away looking at him, including the King of Zhennan, Xiao Ling.
The man immediately got scared: "Yes, yes, yes, although Dongqin men can take concubines, but it is not fair to go back on one's word after making an agreement in advance. No wonder he has not made any progress in his official career over the years. It really is God's will, God's will, hahahaha."
He turned around and hid in the crowd.
He Yun tilted his head, feeling that today he was having an unusually smooth time arguing with people.
Normally, people would think she was slender and thin, and would always put pressure on her. Even if she was not right, she would still argue. Why did these people become so kind and amiable today?
She didn't know that behind her were the four members of the Xiao family looking at her with eyes full of "gratification and love".
Qinglian Zhenren suddenly realized what was going on. He panicked and said immediately, "General Bai, there is no hatred or grudge. You are thinking too much, aren't you? Two years ago, you led the troops to attack Linchuan City. My father and brother both died in that war. The hatred between you and me is irreconcilable!"
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows, her eyes indifferent.
There is no doubt that this excuse was also a collusion between her and Li.
"In the battle of Linchuan, I was trying to recover the lost territory for Eastern Qin. The people of Northern Jin killed the people of Eastern Qin, but I did not kill the innocent people of Northern Jin. You said that I killed your father and brother, which only proves that your father and brother deserved to die!"
She had given ordinary people of Northern Jin a chance. As long as they left Linchuan City, they could live. Only those who rebelled or had killed people of Eastern Qin would be killed by her.
Ouyang Ming frowned: "You are from Northern Jin!"
True Man Qinglian laughed loudly: "Yes, we Northern Jin are brave and good at fighting. No one can defeat us. Even though Eastern Qin has won a small victory now, we Northern Jin have never taken it seriously. Soon, we Northern Jin will surely make a comeback, hahahahaha, hahahahaha..."
Ouyang Ming was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean? Northern Jin wants to attack Eastern Qin? How dare you!"
Although Northern Jin and Eastern Qin have not negotiated, they have been keeping to themselves for the past year. Why are they trying to start a war now? Then the peace talks in Southern Xinjiang become even more important.
"Come here, take this remnant of the Northern Jin Dynasty to the prison and try him later..."
Ouyang Ming was still talking, and the imperial guards hadn't even taken action yet. But the Qinglian Immortal was still laughing, and she was laughing until her neck tilted and her eyes widened as she died.
