Chapter 961: Human Death

The emperor announced the end of the banquet.

Everyone was preparing to leave one after another, but what they were talking about was still Ye Qiu'er's mysterious dance. It seems that this magical dance has been remembered by everyone.

I'm afraid that tomorrow there will be rumors everywhere about how Ye Qiu'er danced in the city.

It's no wonder these people are amazing, after all, there are very few examples of combining dance and magic. In fact, strictly speaking, it is not a profound magic, but it is just a small trick. This kind of trick is a small skill of carving insects in folk jugglers, but unfortunately, those who can dance may not be able to do this.

Murong Feng took advantage of no one to sneak up on Ye Qiu'er's side and winked at her: "I didn't expect you to have such a stunt." ”

"Awards, awards." Ye Qiu'er was modest on her lips, but she didn't see any modesty on her face. However, he is also used to this girl, who always inadvertently gives him endless surprises. First of all, he knew martial arts, but he didn't expect to be able to dance, the more he watched, the more surprised he became, and the more he watched, the more he liked it.

I feel like I've found a treasure.

However, everyone sees Ye Qiu'er as smart and well-behaved, but Murong Feng knows her details, but he is afraid that she may not be in the eyes of everyone in front of her. Including his respectful and fearful father, who faced the saint for the first time was not trembling, and was rewarded with joy.

She not only bargained with the emperor in front of everyone, but also coaxed him to ask for a piece of jade pendant with good injuries.

This girl is really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, which cannot be underestimated.

Murong Feng was about to be a flower messenger and let Ye Qiu'er send it back, but unexpectedly, just as everyone was about to leave, a trembling voice suddenly came: "Your Majesty, it's not good, someone, someone is dead!" ”

The emperor, who got up from the dragon chair and was about to sit in the chariot, was stunned for a moment, and then showed an ugly look on his face.

Chang Sheng, the eunuch on the side, immediately understood the emperor's mood, and slapped the little eunuch who was scared in the face: "What a panic, if you have something to say." If you collide with the Holy Driver, can you afford it? ”

The little eunuch stabilized his figure in front of him, but he was still trembling, and he stammered: "I found a dead man on the side of Xiaotianchi!" was dried and hid in a rockery, and his death was very tragic. ”

The emperor frowned, there are many people in this palace who torture the palace people privately, but this horse blatantly kills people, but it is rare.

After all, the huge imperial city belongs to the emperor alone, and if he dares to kill people like this, he simply doesn't take the emperor in his eyes.

"What else is there?" Chang Sheng is a celebrity around the emperor, he has always understood the emperor's mind better, and he can observe words and feelings, basically the emperor has a look, he knows what to do for the emperor.

Only then did the little eunuch remember, and he handed over a bloody token. Chang Sheng took a look at it, couldn't help but be stunned, and then handed the token to the emperor.

When the emperor saw the small words on the token, his face suddenly turned pale, and he glanced at the ministers and ladies who were stranded in place, and everyone looked at this side curiously.

The anger that had just risen was suppressed, and then Chang Sheng ordered: "It's not a big deal, but everyone should wait here for a while." ”

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but seeing that the emperor's face was not very good, they were all worried.

The corners of Ye Qiu'er's mouth crossed a casual smile, it was time to come.

The emperor summoned Murong Feng, Murong Qi and Concubine Duan, and then took out the token, the bronze token, which was clearly the token for entering and exiting the palace gate, and his name was written on which house. And this token is written on it King Ruiqing.

Murong Feng's heart jumped, didn't he give this token to Ye Qiu'er himself? How did you end up here? He had a bad premonition in his heart.

"How do you explain it?" The emperor originally hated Murong Feng a little, but now that he found out that he was involved in the murder case, he was even more angry, and directly smashed the token on Murong Feng's face.

Murong Feng picked it up and said in his heart, why did the emperor bother to make such a big fuss, didn't he just give away the token to enter the palace. He just didn't bring anything with him, so he gave it away. However, he also knew that the ladies would not enter the palace rashly without leaving the door of the house.

Remembering that the emperor had rewarded Ye Qiu'er just now, he said honestly: "This is Erchen's token, and it was given to Ye Qiu'er, the seventh lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, just a few months ago." ”

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes sank.

At this time, Concubine Duanniang suddenly found something and asked in surprise: "My personal palace maid is gone." She was with me before she came to the banquet. ”

Concubine Duan looked anxious: "That girl is smart and clever, she was originally a low-class palace maid in my palace, but when she saw that she was doing a good job, she brought it up." Unexpectedly, today it suddenly disappeared. ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "I'm afraid, there is only one corpse left at this time." He immediately instructed Chang Sheng: "Go and bring me the seventh lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

The room was very quiet, but Murong Feng was nervous. From just now to now, what Concubine Duan said clearly wanted everyone to lead the target to Ye Qiu'er. If it weren't, he wanted to confess to Ye Qiu'er in Xiaotianchi, and he would never have known that there would definitely be a dying palace maid in such a remote place.

If they hadn't saved the palace maid, presumably the first person to suspect now would also be Ye Qiu'er.

But now, he faintly smelled a hint of conspiracy. Murong Feng couldn't help but glance up at Concubine Duan, and a gloating smile flashed at the corner of her mouth. It must have been staring at Ye Qiu'er to death.

With his beloved woman on one side and his mother on the other, Murong Feng's head suddenly hurt.

After a while, Ye Qiu'er was brought over. Looking at this posture, it must have been determined that she was the murderer.

The emperor didn't go around the bush, and asked directly: "I heard that when you entered the palace, you were not led by palace people, where did you go after entering the palace?" ”

Ye Qiu'er was very frank: "A remote place should be Xiaotianchi. ”

The emperor didn't expect that she didn't lie at all, and doubts flashed in her heart, if she really killed someone, she couldn't answer so frankly. Originally, I wanted to arrest her immediately for interrogation, but now I had to ask again: "There is a palace maid there, have you seen it?" ”

Ye Qiu'er was still very calm: "I've seen it." ”

The emperor no longer beat around the bush with her, and his voice was fierce: "The palace maid found the token given to you by the Third Highness next to her." How do you explain that? ”

Ye Qiu'er didn't even glance at the token, and chuckled: "This token was lost when she entered the palace to meet Concubine Duan a few days ago. Afterwards, the courtiers didn't dare to go back to look for it, it must have fallen on the mother. It's just that today I suddenly said that next to a dead palace maid, the courtiers really didn't know what was going on. ”

Concubine Duanniang didn't expect her to die, she spoke so methodically, and she would retire her responsibilities in a few words.

"Joke, if I saw your token, why didn't I give it back to you. Moreover, you clearly mean that I killed someone to blame you. ”

Ye Qiu'er smiled silently, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Concubine Duan was angry, she had been in the palace for so long, and no one dared to talk to her like this. She immediately asked: "You and I have no grievances, what am I framing you for?" What's more, that palace maid is my person, didn't I frame myself and scold myself? As he spoke, he looked at the emperor crying: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of your concubines." ”

The emperor naturally believed in Concubine Duan, but he couldn't figure out why the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion would go to the palace to kill a palace maid.

Concubine Duanniang also thought of this, so she accused Ye Qiu'er: "I just said two words about you last time, but I didn't expect you to hold a grudge so much." The palace maid who wants to kill me will take revenge on me. ”

Well, there's a motive for killing.

Concubine Duan is really eloquent. Ye Qiu'er smiled: "Concubine Duanniang, isn't it too hasty to convict me with just a token." You have decided that it is me in and out of your words, is Concubine Duanniang really dissatisfied with me? ”

Concubine Duan was choked and immediately fought back: "I'm just telling the truth." ”

"Well, since I want to take revenge on Niangniang, I can buy your palace maid, isn't it smarter? Even if I am angry and want to kill someone, I must kill the person who angers me. What is the reason for me to kill a palace maid for no reason? ”

This remark was simply impeccable, and Concubine Duanniang was speechless for a while.

The emperor felt that what she said was reasonable, and he couldn't say it clearly here, so he got up: "Let's go, go to Xiaotianchi to have a look." ”
