Chapter 962: Who is the murderer
Several people accompanied the holy car all the way to Xiaotianchi, and found that there was nothing but blood stains behind the rockery.
Chang Sheng grabbed the little eunuch and interrogated: "Didn't you say that the body of a palace maid was found here?"
That person was ordered to kill by Concubine Duan, he obviously killed someone and put it here, why is there no one now?
The little eunuch was shocked in his heart, and only replied hesitantly: "Slave, slave doesn't know either." When the minions passed by, they did see a corpse. Could it be that when the slave went to report it, someone carried the body away?"
Concubine Duan immediately pointed at Ye Qiu'er and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that you are going to be this girl." She had only hurried over when the banquet had begun, and she had just admitted that she had indeed been here. The murderer must have been her. ”
Ye Qiu'er stood quietly and didn't say a word.
No one expected that Murong Feng suddenly stood up and knelt in front of the emperor: "Father, the son dares to use the head of the emperor to ensure that it is definitely not Ye Qiu'er's doing." ”
Everyone was shocked, and Ye Qiu'er was also speechless in surprise.
She didn't want to involve him out, after all, it would be a big crime to let people know that they were dating privately, but she didn't expect Murong Feng to stand up by himself.
He was about to speak, but Concubine Duan suddenly interrupted him: "Son, I know that you like to eat Ye Qiu'er's dim sum, but you can't cover her because of this." ”
Secretly, he gave Murong Feng a look, Murong Feng must have made up his mind, and it seemed that he wanted to say more.
Ye Qiu'er snorted lightly: "Third Highness, you don't have to defend me. This matter must be settled, otherwise, it will be so unfair to me. ”
Murong Feng glanced at Ye Qiu'er, but saw that her eyes were not shocked, and she seemed to have a countermeasure. He didn't insist anymore at the moment, after all, he also thought that if it was known that the two of them came here alone, Ye Qiu'er's reputation would be ruined.
Just now, he just felt that Ye Qiu'er's crime was basically decided, and the lesser of the two choices, but now that she was obstructing, he had to stand up and stop talking.
Ye Qiu'er looked at Concubine Duan: "Niangniang, now that the corpse is gone, I don't know if this little eunuch's words are true or false, do you still want to insist that I killed someone?"
How could Concubine Duan Niangniang watch her leave, although this matter is indeed strange, she will never let Ye Qiu'er go.
immediately glared at Ye Qiu'er: "Although the body is gone, it doesn't mean that you didn't do it." Now that the human and material evidence is there, do you still want to quibble?"
Ye Qiu'er smiled, the smile was indescribably cold, she turned her head to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you also think that she is a courtier?"
The emperor did feel that there were a lot of doubts, but looking at Concubine Duan's appearance, he couldn't wait to pull her bones and skin, thinking that he was angry.
Today, this matter will be concluded in any way. He thought about it, but it was just a dead palace maid, and if he killed Ye Qiu'er, it would inevitably hurt the heart of the prime minister, so he was a little entangled.
Concubine Duanniang naturally understands that she has already had a trick. Secretly, Concubine Duan beckoned, and immediately another grandmother ran over, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the sixth princess is gone." ”
What? The emperor showed an anxious look.
He shouted, "Why don't you go find it?"
The old lady cried again: "The old slave has asked many people to look for it, but they still haven't found it." ”
The emperor's eyebrows and heartbeat violently, and he couldn't help asking, "When did the sixth princess disappear?"
The old lady glanced at Ye Qiu'er and told the emperor tremblingly: "It's probably before the banquet starts." I heard that she seems to be coming to Xiaotianchi. ”
Concubine Duan Niangniang interjected at the right time: "Could it be that the sixth princess saw something that she shouldn't have seen and was given by someone?"
"Shut up!" The emperor has always loved this little princess, and even scolded him. Duan Concubine Niangniang saw that the emperor was angry, and she smiled more and more happily, this time Ye Qiu'er would be skinned if she didn't die.
Sure enough, I saw that the emperor immediately ordered: "Catch Ye Qiu'er for me, interrogate her strictly, and wait until she tells the truth." ”
Yes, it is better to believe it than to believe it. Now that all the evidence shows that Ye Qiu'er did it, the sixth princess disappeared, of course, she was the first to find her for surgery.
The smile on Ye Qiu'er's face grew, and she finally spoke: "Your Majesty, the palace maid is not dead at all." ”
Everyone was stunned again, especially Concubine Duan, who immediately showed an anxious look on her face. Then he glared at the little eunuch fiercely.
The little eunuch retorted in his heart, impossible, he watched the person die with his own eyes before leaving.
But he forgot that after cutting his wrists, people who lost too much blood would only be temporarily unconscious, and it would take some time for them to die.
The palace maid also deserved to die, and when she heard the sound outside, she might wake up in a daze again, so she sent a distress signal.
At that time, Ye Qiu'er felt strange, why did His Royal Highness ask her to come to Xiaotianchi, and then someone was killed. It seems to be a coincidence, but often the coincidence is deliberately done by many people.
It seems that Concubine Duanniang also has spies monitoring the whereabouts of the Third Highness, and she knows all about his actions.
It's a pity that she still fell short.
Concubine Duan blurted out: "Impossible, you lie." The emperor gave her a strange look, and Concubine Duan immediately lowered her eyebrows, and there was no explanation of three hundred taels of silver here: "The little eunuch saw it with his own eyes." ”
"Mother, what you see with your own eyes may not be true. What's more, when he was killing, he probably didn't expect someone to appear in Xiaotianchi so soon, so he left in a hurry before he saw the other party breathe. ”
Concubine Duan's face was pale, and she couldn't say a word.
Ye Qiu'er clapped her hands: "Come out." ”
At this time, the door of a room behind Xiao Tianchi squeaked open, and a pale girl covered in blood walked out. Due to the darkness, she was in a mess and looked like a demon crawling out of hell. Frightened, Xiao Jian screamed and hurriedly retreated.
Chang Sheng's eyes were quick, and he grabbed him by the collar and pulled him forward.
The little eunuch was so frightened that he trembled and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Now, even a fool can see who the murderer is. The palace maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed with difficulty and weakness: "Your Majesty, save the slaves and maids." The slave didn't want to die. ”
The emperor frowned: "Who wants to kill you?"
The palace maid pointed at the little eunuch and glared at him viciously: "It's him!"
Chang Sheng immediately ordered: "Arrest this little eunuch and beat him to death." Although the little eunuch was afraid, he was about to be arrested, and he did not confess to the mastermind. What a loyalty.
Ye Qiu'er immediately stood up: "A little eunuch, what reason does he have to kill Concubine Duan's palace maid?
Concubine Duan immediately thought that Ye Qiu'er was going to break the casserole and ask to the end, for fear that she would be exposed, so she scolded her: "The emperor is here, how can you interject." Now that you've cleared your suspicions, don't get out of here. ”
Ye Qiu'er still stood straight, and her speech was neither arrogant nor humble: "I didn't kill anyone, but someone put my token in this place, indicating that this person is targeting me." And that person must be extremely smart, knowing that the death of a palace maid may not necessarily make the emperor execute me. Therefore, there is a design for the disappearance of the six princesses, if the mastermind behind the scenes is not found, I am afraid that the six princesses will be in danger. ”
The emperor must have immediately asked Concubine Duan in a cold voice: "Why are you so active today to seek justice for a palace maid?"
Concubine Duan's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The emperor is angry, and the concubine is just watching the girl arrogant and domineering, and teach her a lesson." She's just a yellow-haired girl who doesn't understand anything. ”
The emperor's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "Although she is a yellow-haired girl, what she said is very reasonable." I'm afraid that the person who framed her is the murderer who made the sixth princess disappear. I must find out this person. ”
Concubine Duan's mother had to be bold and snort: "But now there are no clues"
Before she finished speaking, Ye Qiu'er smiled: "Who said there are no clues?"
