Chapter 374 Is it because I killed Mr. Qin?
When Gu Chaoxi passed by the corridor on the second floor in a long robe, Shen Yao opened the door.
When he saw her, he seemed to be unable to react for a moment, and after a while he raised his hand and said, "You are back."
His tone was light, as if he was a little uncertain.
Gu Chaoxi nodded and smiled at him, and Shen Yao lowered his shoulders and asked her again: "Where is Pei Yan?"
"He is resting in Madam Zhao's room. His headache hasn't healed yet, so he is asleep now."
Just after he finished explaining, the door next to Shen Yao was opened a little more, and Qin Wei poked her head out from inside.
When he saw it was her, a smile appeared on his face instantly.
"Little cutie! I'm glad you're okay!"
She walked past Shen Yao and hugged Gu Chaoxi in her arms.
She thought that she would never see Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan today, but fortunately, the two of them returned safely.
"Well, fortunately the way to get back wasn't set to be very difficult."
She smiled, raised her hand and patted Qin Wei's back to comfort her, knowing that Qin Wei was feeling very upset.
After a moment, he remembered something and slowly let Qin Wei go.
"I think it's time for everything to end."
When he was in the underground palace, Gu Chaoxi already had an idea in his mind about how Master Qin died.
Now, as long as he goes to find Qin Mo and Qin Yi again, Gu Chaoxi feels that he might be able to find out the truth.
"Weiwei, can you help me take care of Ah Yan? I think I have something to take care of."
"Don't I need to accompany you?" Qin Wei was a little worried.
But Gu Chaoxi shook her head, thinking that it would be better for her to do it herself.
Understanding what she meant, Qin Wei did not force her, but just raised her hand and patted Gu Chaoxi's shoulder.
"Then be careful. If you have any problems, call us immediately. We promise to rescue you as soon as we hear your voice."
She said and nodded.
Gu Chaoxi laughed, turned around and walked downstairs again.
When she came over there, she glanced at Qin Yi and Qin Mo's room, and found no one there.
These two people are not in the room, so they are most likely in the side hall in front.
She still remembered the way Qin Yi went to burn incense and kneel there to pray.
Therefore, after coming down from the second floor, Gu Chaoxi did not go to the opposite wing, but went directly to the yard in front.
Sure enough, these two people were in the side hall at this moment.
But the current situation is not very good. Qin Yi knelt on the futon with his eyes closed, as if praying for something.
Qin Mo stood behind him with some disdain, just looking at him with his arms folded across his chest.
Hearing the footsteps approaching outside, Qin Mo's originally crooked posture instantly straightened up, and it seemed that even his back was straighter than usual.
Gu Chaoxi naturally did not miss this little action, but did not say anything. He just pretended not to see it and walked inside and came to Qin Yi's side.
She glanced at Qin Yi, but he didn't open his eyes.
Gu Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, then slowly knelt down on the mat beside him.
He imitated Qin Yi and put his hands together in front of him.
She knelt straight and looked forward.
His hands were probably at his chest, and then Gu Chaoxi sighed slowly.
"Mr. Qin, you come here every day to repent, is it because you killed Mr. Qin?"
When she said this, even Qin Mo, who was standing behind her and was originally a little careless, was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
Qin Yi's face looked uncertain, and he didn't say a word.
Gu Chaoxi was not in a hurry. He just knelt there, looking ahead, and continued speaking.
"Master Qin is completely defenseless against you two brothers. It is very easy for you to enter his room."
"It's also easy to make Master Qin drink the poisoned water. After all, you are his proud and obedient eldest son, right?"
Gu Chaoxi's speech was not fast, and he even spoke a little slowly.
When she finished speaking, she slowly turned her head to look at Qin Yi.
The eyelashes of the eyes that were originally closed trembled slightly, and then they slowly opened.
However, there was no emotion in these eyes, just a faint sense of death.
It seemed that he didn't care whether his secret was discovered by others.
In other words, Qin Yi had long anticipated that one day someone would know the truth, it was just a matter of time.
He lowered his eyes, then raised them again.
He turned his head and looked at Gu Chaoxi who was watching him from the side, and a slight smile slowly rose at the corner of his mouth.
"Miss Shen, how can you prove that I killed my father?"
He didn't seem to be trying to excuse himself, but rather was curious about why Gu Chaoxi could see that.
She wasn't worried that Qin Yi would suddenly get furious or something, so she relaxed a little and simply knelt down on the mat.
Raising his hand to stroke the wrinkles on his clothes, Gu Chaoxi slowly began to tell the story.
First of all, their initial suspects in Mr. Qin’s death were the two brothers of the Qin family.
The poisoning and stab wounds came from two people, so one of them was Qin Yi and the other was Qin Mo.
What they had been struggling with before was whether the two people acted at the same time, or in other words, when did the two people take revenge on Master Qin respectively.
After going to the underground palace, Gu Chaoxi saw some things in the booklet of Guard Qin.
In fact, it can't be considered as evidence, but she saw Qin Yi's name on it.
Why did the eldest son of the Qin family appear in that booklet? It only proves that he once went to the underground palace for something, but came out safely in the end.
After all, all dead people would be circled, but Qin Yi's name was crossed out by a horizontal line.
Gu Chaoxi had two guesses about how Qin Yi left the underground palace.
The first one is that Qin Yi was originally wronged, and the emperor released him after finding out the truth.
The second possibility is that although Qin Yi was indeed imprisoned, she somehow gained the favor of the princess, and the princess let her go.
Gu Chaoxi felt that the first method was unlikely.
Even if the emperor knew the truth, the possibility of releasing Qin Yi was very small.
After all, the imperial power is unquestionable. Even if the emperor is wrong, it is still a reward.
Therefore, the only possibility is that Qin Yi used some method to make the princess release him.
Of course, the premise is that Qin Yi did nothing wrong, so the princess might let him go.
After that, when I return to the Qin family, I will need an engagement to appease outsiders.
As for the second reason, Gu Chaoxi had seen several bottles of medicine in the princess's room, and each bottle was poison.
To be honest, this kind of thing is useless in the underground palace, as the princess is the one in charge of the palace.
Then why does it exist? The only possibility is that someone gave it to her as a toy.
