Concubine Zhao seemed to be frightened by her cold eyes, and said no more, and the group all walked to the other end of the imperial garden.

Mo Xuetong was speechless and followed behind the ladies and young ladies and sons.

Everyone followed the palace maid around a few rockeries together, and came to a remote place, only next to the lake of the rockery, there was a female corpse lying there, there was wind in that place, and it was originally cool, but at this time, because of this female corpse, the whole place made people feel gloomy and windy, and it made people feel scared for no reason.

A few bold eunuchs went over and pulled the female corpse up and laid it flat on the ground, but after hearing the palace maid who had just found the corpse covering her mouth and screaming, she suddenly pounced on the female corpse and shouted in a panic: "Queen Mother, it's a flying ring." ”

"Flying ring?" the queen was stunned, didn't seem to remember, and frowned.

Mama Lin beside her took two steps forward, looked at the face of the female corpse, and was also frightened, and hurriedly took two steps back to the queen, and said with a white face: "Niangniang, she is a third-class palace maid in Tianfeng Palace, called Feihuan, just now you asked her to go to the imperial garden to wait for the wine of the ladies and ladies." ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect it to be someone from her Tianfeng Palace, her face was a little ugly, she frowned and asked, "Who was the last one to see this palace maid?"

Whether it is the identity of the queen or the identity of the owner of Tianfeng Palace, the queen has to ask about this matter.

"Queen, slave, slave and maid just came out with Feihuan, and then the slave and maid saw a little maid waving to Feihuan in front, and then Feihuan said to the slave and maid that there was something to do, let the slave and maid go first, and the slave and maid thought that Feihuan might meet someone she knew, so she ignored her and left by herself, and she didn't think of it for a while, Feihuan, she, she ......"

The palace maid who pounced on Feihuan cried silently: "Queen Mother, you must be the master of Feihuan, Feihuan is dedicated to you, you can't let the murderer go unpunished." ”

"Go up and have a look. The queen nodded to a eunuch standing beside her, this is the master of the inner palace guarding the queen, and the eunuch in charge of the torture of the inner palace, he stretched out two fingers to probe next to the neck of the palace maid, and then stood up and shook his head, indicating that he was out of breath, and then squatted next to the corpse, checked for a while, and then came over to return to the queen.

"Niangniang, this corpse was strangled to death, there are pinch marks on her neck, thick fingers, it is obvious that she is a man, look like this, she starts quickly and accurately, she is a practitioner, if she does not have more than ten years of skill, she will never be strangled to death like this. ”

The torture eunuch replied concisely.

"However, who wants to hurt the flying ring, the flying ring is also very good to people on weekdays, and never blushes with people. The palace maid cried.

"There's something there, look. Someone screamed as he pointed to the place where he had just scooped up the body.

Everyone looked back and looked again, and sure enough, they found that there was a strip of cloth stuck in the gap of the rockery, and the eunuch was tortured to go over, and neatly took out the strip of cloth wrapped in it, and everyone found that it was actually a handkerchief, because most of it was wrapped in it, so it was only a strip of cloth that fell from the murderer's body.

"This must be the handkerchief that fell from the murderer's body!" someone asked.

"No, this handkerchief is so pink in color, and there is embroidery on it, it should be a young lady's, look at the pinch marks on her neck, it is clearly a man's person, how can it be a murderer. Someone else asked puzzled.

Someone refuted and defended on the spot: "Maybe this is the handkerchief hidden in the murderer's arms, there must be a woman who has something to do with the murderer, and this handkerchief will appear in his arms, and then it was pulled down by the palace maid before she died, and the reason why she didn't take it away may be because time is short, and she didn't notice it." ”

"Mother, this ...... This is happening, but be sure to check it out. When the jade concubine who was standing on the side heard this, her eyes showed deep worry, and she covered her stomach and said in fear.

The queen looked at the corpse coldly, and the tone spit out from her thin lips was cold: "Killing people in the palace, of course, you must find out carefully." ”

As soon as I heard that I wanted to investigate well, everyone was a little more wandering, this is the palace, there was a murder case, naturally it is possible to come today, if this investigation can't be found, is it too much to stay here to be searched, this is a lot of time, and one is not good, after a long time, it is easy to be blamed.

Who wants to be locked up and searched?

"I'll take a look at this veil. An old lady stood up first, stretched out her hand to the torture eunuch and said, she is the mother of Luofeng Hou.

The torture eunuch looked at the queen, the queen nodded slightly, and the eunuch respectfully presented the veil to the old lady of Luofenghou.

The old lady of Luofeng Hou picked up the handkerchief, looked at the light, and frowned for a while and looked at the people on the left and right, with some doubt on her face, but she was a little undecided.

Ling Rui'er, who turned to the side after half a sound, asked, "Princess Chu, can I borrow your handkerchief to take a look?"

"My handkerchief?" Ling Rui'er actually panicked when she saw this handkerchief, and reached out to touch her handkerchief to compare it, only to find that her handkerchief didn't know when it was gone, and her face was pale in a panic, she had just come back not long ago, and she originally wanted to see a lively scene, where did she think that things would fall on her.

Hearing Mrs. Luofenghou ask Ling Rui'er, a few sharp-eyed people immediately found that there were two words embroidered on the left and right corners of the handkerchief in Mrs. Luofenghou's handkerchief, Ling on the left and Rui on the right.

This veil turned out to be Ling Rui'er's.

"Rui'er, where's your veil?" The queen turned her head, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and looked at Ling Rui'er and asked unhappily, if something went wrong today, it was all Ling Rui'er's idiot, how could she not be angry.

"Queen Mother, just now this palace maid sprinkled watermelon juice on my dress, so I went to change my clothes, and then the veil was gone. Ling Rui'er said hurriedly, she didn't know when her veil was gone, but now the veil on her body was in the hands of this palace maid.

"Yes, this palace maid deliberately poured watermelon juice on the third sister, it turned out that she was trying to steal the handkerchief on the third sister, I don't know who wanted her to harm the third sister. Ling Yu, who was following her, had an idea, and hurriedly defended her, if it was really found out that Ling Rui'er had killed this palace maid because of such a trivial matter, Ling's daughter would not have to marry again, such a vicious family, which family would dare to marry their girl.

For the sake of his reputation, Ling Yu couldn't let Ling Rui'er have an accident.

These words reminded everyone, and then they remembered that Fang Cai did have such a scene, maybe this girl really deliberately framed Ling Rui'er, otherwise she was standing well, why did she have to bump into Ling Rui'er, and she also splashed her dress wet, and had to change her clothes, this back and forth is enough for people to kill this palace maid, if it is really to take Ling Rui'er's veil first, it may really be someone who framed Ling Rui'er.

Or to frame the king of Chu behind her.

Concubine Zhao suddenly leaned over and asked with a slightly suspicious face, "What kind of incense is used for Princess Chu's veil?"

Indeed, the handkerchief exudes a faint strange fragrance, although it has been soaked in water, but it is still fragrant, which can be seen to be the best fragrance.

These words reminded Ling Rui'er, and she hurriedly said: "The incense I used there is not an ordinary incense, it was given to me by the Queen Mother, it is said to be a tribute, and I have the entire Great Qin, and there can be no one else." ”

Ling Rui'er just wanted to prove that she was innocent this time, and she couldn't care about anything else.

"What Princess Chu said can be paid tribute to the Queen Mother?" The eyes of the tortured eunuch lit up, and he asked: "If this is the case, the fragrance will last for a long time, it is said that it will be ten days, right?"

A hint of strangeness flashed in Ling Rui'er's eyes, and she nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes." ”

"Princess Chu, do you think this fragrance will leave a fragrance when it comes into contact with other clothes?" the torture eunuch asked again.

"The fragrance is so strong that it doesn't dissipate for a while as long as you touch it with your hands. Ling Rui'er replied in the affirmative.

"That's good. The torture eunuch squatted down in front of the corpse again, flipped over the placket of the palace maid's flying ring, sniffed it with his nose again, and raised his eyebrows only after half a sound: "Queen, this palace maid once hid a veil in her arms, and it seems that she did steal the veil of the princess of Chu and hide it, but then she was assassinated, and this veil was also deliberately landed here." ”

"Slut, you really want to assassinate me. Ling Rui'er breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and scolded the palace maid Feihuan fiercely.

"Since that person has turned the veil, should there be a fragrance on his body?" asked the queen coldly.

The eunuch raised his lips and smiled, and nodded: "What Niangniang said is very true, since the handkerchief fell there on purpose, that person naturally moved, please bring the torture dog." ”

"Go, pass on the will of the palace, and let the guards bring the torture dogs over. The queen nodded, her eyes slid across Mo Xuetong's face with a faint sneer, the torture dog is used by the Criminal Department to investigate cases, and the nose is a hundred times more sensitive than the ordinary dog's nose, no matter who will do it today, it is impossible to be good.

Concubine Zhao, who was standing on the side, although she lowered her eyes, a deep smugness passed through the corners of her eyes, and her face unconsciously showed a little sinister smile, although things were a little different from her preset, but fortunately, she still passed in her original direction.

After a while, a small torture dog was brought to everyone, several internal guards stood on both sides, arranged for everyone to stand in two rows, the torture eunuch took the handkerchief to the dog's nose and sniffed, and then took away the handkerchief, let her sniff it one by one, only to sniff two, the torture dog pounced, if it wasn't for the eunuch's quick reaction and grabbing, Ling Ruier would have been pounced.

Even so, she was so frightened that she almost couldn't speak.

She was originally the owner of the handkerchief, and she took the handkerchief for a while, and the fragrance on her body was of course very strong, the eunuch forcibly pulled the torture dog back, and continued to walk back, behind Ling Rui'er was Mo Xue Tong, Mo Xue Tong stood there quietly holding Mo Ye's hand, and the torture dog went up and turned around twice, and then went down again.

Obviously, this matter has nothing to do with Mo Xuetong.

The queen standing on the main throne frowned slightly, and looked at Mo Xuetong suspiciously.

The torture dog walked under the feet of everyone, sniffing from time to time, everyone was nervous and scared, especially most of them were young ladies here, they were already trembling with fear, and the punishment dog suddenly barked wildly, and rushed towards a girl ring standing behind a young lady, and a big mouth full of fangs bit the calf of a girl ring and dragged the girl ring out.

The Ouchi guards on both sides, who had been preparing for a long time, rushed out, pounced like a wolf, grabbed the man, and even searched out all the items in his pocket, and placed them in front of everyone.
