cpa300_4();“ But the palace maid who was killed was not an ordinary palace maid. ”

"Oh, then, who is she?"

Shen Rou slowly stood up and said, "The emperor should not have forgotten that the name on the name plate is Yan Qingqing, and the palace maid's surname is Yan, and she is from Xichuan, so her identity-"

Hearing the words "Yan Qingqing", I felt the man standing next to me tremble slightly.

I lowered my head and subconsciously bit my lower lip.

A gleam flashed in Pei Yuanhao's eyes, and he smiled faintly: "Indeed, I shouldn't forget Jì, that palace maid's surname is Yan." ”

Speaking of which, the ministers in the main hall also seemed to feel something, this special surname may be the first time that it was put on the court on the surface, and no one dared to speak casually for a while, and the atmosphere became a little dull, so that everyone was about to breathe.

And I, too, felt like I was going to suffocate, and my heartbeat was getting harder and harder every time.

At this moment, a voice with a cold temperature sounded-

"Yan Qingqing?, this name, the concubine has heard of it. ”

Although the voice was not high and faint, which sentence was like a thunderbolt, and suddenly exploded in the quiet hall.

Suddenly, all eyes looked in the direction where the voice came, my heart also skipped a beat, and I looked over, only to see sitting in the crowd, the most obscure, as if there had never been a zài and concubine Liu Li slowly raised her head, her watery eyes flashed with the light of Qing Lingling, welcoming everyone's attention.

She, what to say?!

Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows: "He concubine, you said, have you heard of this name?"

Liu Li stood up, gave Pei Yuanhao a gentle blessing, and said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine traveled to Xichuan with her father when she was a child, and her childhood memories are already a little blurred, but this name is very different, and the identity of this person is also unusual, so the concubine has always remembered it all these years." ”

I frowned at this.

I vaguely remember that in Rong Jingzhai Ye Yunshuang's room that day, it seemed that Liu Li was not there, so she didn't hear the name "Yan Qingqing" at that time, but now, even if she suddenly heard this name and recalled the past, why did she suddenly open her mouth - this is not like her usual personality that does not touch the leaves.

However, no matter what happened, it didn't matter, cold sweat broke out in my palms, and I could only clench my fists hard to calm myself.

"Oh?

The corners of Pei Yuanhao's mouth hooked slightly: "What an unusual method?"

Liu Li said: "If what the concubine Niangniang was referring to just now is the same person as what the concubine remembered, then this Yan Qingqing is the biggest force in Xichuan today - the eldest lady of the Yan family. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the hall exclaimed.

The Yan family, this special family, for the imperial court, for the royal family, for the civil and military officials here, what kind of existence zài, there is no need to elaborate, at first hearing this news, for everyone, it is nothing less than a sunny day and thunder.

My back was also numb.

"Miss Yan?"

When Shen Rou heard these words, her face turned pale, as if she was digging coal in the mountains, and she was at a loss to dig out the gold with a shovel. Originally, she just wanted to press me with a charge of "death for murderer", but she didn't expect to come up with such a big case. She subconsciously looked at Shen Gongyi, although this old minister was still calm, his face also changed greatly.

Now, people can't decide whether it was really me who killed me, but at the moment, this matter is bigger than a murder.

After a long while, Shen Rou reluctantly spoke, and her voice was a little strange: "How- how is it possible? If it is really the eldest lady of the Yan family, how can she be sent to the palace to be a palace maid?"

Liu Li smiled and said, "Back to Niangniang, this Yan Qingqing, although she is the eldest lady of the Yan family, her identity is a little special. ”

"Oh?"

"She is the eldest daughter of the head of the Yan family, and she was originally not called by this name, but Qingchen. ”

"Yan Qingchen?"

"Yes. It is said that this Miss Yan was born very well, she has been a beauty since she was a child, and she was born in a family like the Yan family, and she has lived a rich and noble life since she was a child, and she is well-read. ”

Pei Yuanhao's face couldn't see joy or anger, he only smiled: "It's a proud girl of the sky." ”

Liu Li said with a smile: "This young lady's birth is indeed extraordinary, but it is not really so lucky. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that when this young lady was only four or five years old, the head of the Yan family married a new lady and passed the door, probably because she was a famous daughter, the new lady entered the door and became bigger, and the original match became a side house. In the second year, Mrs. Yan gave birth to a son, and the fortune teller said that this Yan Gongzi was short of soil in the five elements, and after a long time, the name 'Qingchen' was the best, and Miss Yan's name was not kept, so she changed it to light. ”

Pei Yuanhao sat there diagonally, tapping the table with one finger: "Interesting." ”

Interesting, indeed interesting......

This sounds like the words in the mouth of the people in the market, the streets and alleys, and the storyteller, just drink the peanuts and burn the knife, but the joke, although it is not on the stage, it can also be heard a little interesting.

It's just that I listen to this, every word in Liu Li's mouth is like a blunt knife, grinding my heart, obviously there is no blood, but it is already painful.

I pinched my fingers so hard that I almost spasmed, as if even my finger bones were about to be broken by myself, and my whole body trembled.

At this moment, a large, warm and heavy hand gently reached over and took my hand.

I shuddered slightly, as if the strength of my hand was immediately removed, and the hand was a little rough, caressing my skin, but bringing a strange touch, as if it spread from my fingertips to my heart. I subconsciously raised my head, and saw the man next to me taking a step forward without a trace, looking at the hall without any expression on his face, but through the layers of clothes, his hand held my fingertips.

My hand trembled, and he held it tighter.

I didn't dare to look up, he didn't move, but a warm current came from his rough palm, and my almost spasmodic fingers finally calmed down under the wrapping of such a warm palm.

Chang Qing sat on it, and when she heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said, "Concubine He, you go on, what happened?"

As soon as she opened her mouth to ask, Liu Li hesitated, was silent for a while, and confessed before continuing: "The concubine heard that after Mrs. Yan gave birth to a son, she was a little intolerant, and the original partner couldn't live in the house, so she could only rent a house at the foot of Xishan Mountain. ”

“……”

"When the concubines accompanied their father to the West Mountain, they also met them sending things down the mountain. ”

Chang Qing asked, "Then how did she enter the palace?"

"This, when the concubine went, there was no such thing, what happened to this Miss Yan later, the concubine doesn't know. ”

Naturally, her words were just perfunctory, but the people around her all had clear expressions.

They can't guarantee that they won't think so, more than ten years ago, Xichuan and the imperial court were defeated, the Shu people sued for peace, and paid tribute to a lot of women and money, since Mrs. Yan is so intolerant, she naturally will not let go of this opportunity and send Miss Yan to the palace, except for the thorn in her side.

Although this is above the court, what is performed in every deep mansion compound is nothing more than that.

Having said this, everyone's eyes in the hall subconsciously looked over, but instead of looking at me, they looked at me and the old man in front of Qinghan.

He still sat there straight, motionless, like a stone monument standing in the wind and rain, steady as a rock, but the cool breeze from somewhere blew the gray beard under his chin slightly fluttering.

Pei Yuanhao also looked at him and said, "Scholar Fu, if I remember correctly, more than ten years ago, you held an erudite conference in Xishan Academy. ”

Fu Badai was silent for a moment, and slowly got up: "Yes." ”

The word was simple, but it seemed to take him a lot of effort to say it, and his voice was strangely hoarse.

Pei Yuanhao looked at him, his eyes flickered, and said, "Then, do you know this story about the Yan family?"

"I don't remember the past. ”

"Oh?" Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Don't you even remember people?"

Fu Badai stood there, and there was a long silence, my fingertips trembled slightly in the cold palm, I don't know how long it took, I finally heard the old man speak, and said in an almost withered voice: "Remember." ”

“……”

"The old man still remembers this child. ”

“……”

"She is a very sensible, kind child, and very smart......"

“……”

"Lao Yu has been teaching and educating people all her life, and I have never seen a more transparent student than her. ”

“……”

"It's a pity that she learns thoroughly, but people are confused......"

Qinghan's fingers pressed slightly, holding my hand tightly, and the ten fingers of the two people were intertwined, like the roots of a tree, and only in this way could I still have a trace of reason and consciousness.

By this time, I had fully understood in my heart that this was Pei Yuanhao's purpose......

Let the Detailed Punishment Temple first investigate Yan Qingqing's murder case, Shen Rou will definitely try her best to point all the evidence in this case to me in order to put me to death, and if it is mentioned in front of such a hundred officials, there is no room for turning around, as long as the prisoner admits guilt, there is only one way to die;

If I confess my sins, I will surely die.

If I don't want to die, then there's only one way to go.

That's what he's for!

Thinking of this, I slowly raised my head and looked at the top of the main hall, a group of concubines were sitting in that place, but there didn't seem to be many people, although there were not many people, but at a glance, the scene of the crowd still couldn't take their eyes off.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, and looked at it carefully.

It turned out that the officials and concubines who came here today could only attend if they were above the fourth grade......

Pei Yuanhao's gaze has slowly moved from Fu Badai's body to mine, his dark eyes are like a deep and bottomless black pool, so that people can't see any light, once they fall, they can't escape anymore.

He said slowly: "I didn't expect that the murder case involved the eldest lady of the Yan family, which made me a little surprised. It's just that this Yan is light, no matter how down, she is also the eldest lady of the Yan family, why was she sent to the palace and become a palace maid?"

No one answered him, because, no one knew the truth.

"Yue Qingying. ”

"Wechen is here. ”

"The testimony of the concubine Niangniang just now, can you plead guilty?"
