Chapter 134: Searching for the Murderer in Front of the Emperor

The scene of a tense atmosphere in the Jade Immortal Palace was repeated for a long time, and almost all the important people in the palace came. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Queen Mother, Emperor, Concubine De, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian and Yuan. The Yuan clan was originally going to leave the palace, but when he heard about it on the way, he turned back.

Everyone's face has a different expression. Worried, anxious, indifferent, mocking, everything. The fire in the library pavilion in the daytime, the fire happened to be the concubine Niangniang inside, to say that this is not a conspiracy, who believes it?

The emperor suddenly remembered what Mo Yu said before, and she said that in this palace, he couldn't protect her. At that time, he thought that Mo Yu was just anxious and irritable, so he would worry too much. Now it seems that the person who worries is not her, but he owes it to consideration. In the palace, under the nose of the Son of Heaven, it was rampant to the point of arson, how could there be heavenly reason. The emperor's gaze couldn't help but turn to Concubine De, who was sitting at the bottom, and she sat there blankly, not saying anything or looking at anything, just staring at a certain place fixedly.

The outer room of the Jade Immortal Hall was surprisingly quiet. The room is also very quiet. Imperial Doctor Zhang, who was in charge of Moyu's body, sat on the edge of the bed, carefully checking his pulse, opening his eyes for a while, sighing for a while, shaking his head for a while, and nodding for a while. Tian Er looked at the tense atmosphere outside, and didn't dare to say too loudly, and asked softly, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, how is it?" ”

Fortunately, Biyue and Xiangrong have been following Moyu for a long time, and they can still bandage their wounds simply. So everyone wrapped a bundle of white cloth around their hands and covered them with their sleeves, otherwise it looked like they were carrying filial piety, and their bodies were fine, but they lost a little too much blood.

Imperial Doctor Zhang put down Moyu's wrist and said, "It's okay for adults, it's just that the smoke and dust inhaled a little bit cause a coma, it's just that the child is ......."

"What's wrong with the kid?" As soon as the bead curtain rolled, the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe walked in and asked anxiously, "Is there anything wrong with the child?" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the child is still young, and after such a big impact, there are signs of miscarriage. ”

"Miscarriage?"

"The specific situation will not be determined until the mother wakes up. However, Niangniang's heart is very strong, and the child has a great chance of surviving, but these days, it is better for Niangniang to lie in bed and not move around at will. ”

The emperor's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, Moyu cared about this child very much. If the child is gone, he doesn't know if she will forgive him, if he will still be able to talk to him as before, although not to be seen.

This child has only come to them for two years, and Mo Yu once said that this child is her life. If her life is gone, will she think that she has no home and has lost hope in life, as Yetian said.

"Let's go down and dispense the medicine!" The emperor waved his hand, then walked to the bed and looked at her sleeping little face. How many times did I look at her like this, watch her hover on the brink of life and death, and then survive on her own. How many people can do it with such a strong heart?

He turned around, sat down at the table, looked at the few people in the middle, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened today?" ”

Biyue stepped forward, bowed her head and said, "Niangniang and the slaves were originally in the library pavilion, we were playing outside, and Niangniang was reading books inside. Later, I don't know what happened, we all fell asleep, and it was the mother who woke us up with a dagger. When we woke up, my mother said that we had been drugged, so we fainted. We saw that there was a fire in the library, the doors and windows were sealed, and we couldn't get out. The mother said to smash the door, so we slammed the door and escaped. ”

"Did you see anything suspicious?"

Biyue shook her head and said, "No." But halfway through, Xiaoyezi's father-in-law left for a while. ”

"Little leaf?"

"Xiao Yezi's father-in-law is also the person in charge of taking care of the library, and when he came back, Niangniang asked him to go to the emperor."

The emperor remembered that today he saw thick smoke in the direction of the library and knew that it was a fire. So I walked over to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet a little father-in-law on the way, he said that the fire was in the library pavilion, and the concubine Niangniang was also in it. He panicked at the moment, hurried over in three steps and two steps, and when he arrived, he saw that the door had fallen, and Moyu was standing there.

He stood up, glanced at Mo Yu on the bed, and then said, "Take good care of your master." After saying that, he strode out of the hall.

Several women outside heard that the concubine's mother and son were fine, some were relieved, and some were still unwilling. Seeing that the emperor had walked out of the Jade Immortal Palace, the Queen Mother also stood up and said to Tian'er: "Take good care of the concubine Niangniang, take care of it, and your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes." If something happens to her again, the mourning family will not be able to spare you. ”

Tian'er replied "yes", the Queen Mother said the previous sentence to her, but the latter sentence seemed to be said to someone in the hall. She also thought she didn't know, and sent the Queen Mother away.

When everyone saw that the Queen Mother was gone, they all stood up and wanted to leave. Concubine Shu stepped forward and said, "It's really busy here, you can't take care of it, I'll stay and help you!" ”

Tian Er bowed down and said, "Concubine Shu, this can't trouble you. It's just Miss Manxue, who has to bother her mother to help take care of her for a few days. ”

"Yes, the snow is with me, don't worry."

"There's Concubine Lao."

When Concubine Shu also left, only the people of the Jade Immortal Palace were left in the palace. Tian'er walked into the inner room, looked at the sleeping mother on the bed, and couldn't help but blame herself. If it was her who followed her today, maybe Niangniang wouldn't be like this, at least she had martial arts and could help her do more.

In the Wende Temple.

The emperor sat behind the bookcase and looked at the little eunuch kneeling and trembling on the ground. This little eunuch is the little eunuch he met halfway before, and it is said that he is the caretaker of the library pavilion. He happened to go to the thatched house when Moyu had an accident, so he escaped a catastrophe, how could there be such a coincidence.

The hall was very quiet, they were waiting, waiting for someone, waiting for the person who went to the library to investigate the scene to come back, and there was going to be a case of searching for the murderer in front of the emperor.

The figure outside the hall flickered, Liu Chenxuan walked in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is back." ”

A majestic voice came from behind the bookcase, asking, "How?" ”

Liu Chenxuan nodded and said, "The minister already knows the general situation of the matter, but the specific details have to be reviewed before they can be decided." ”

"Then let's start the trial!"

"Yes." Liu Chenxuan nodded, then turned to face the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and said, "Father-in-law Xiao Yezi, is it?" ”

The little eunuch kneeling on the ground lowered his head and said, "Yes, slave Xiao Yezi." ”

"You're in charge of the Library?"

"Yes."

"How long have you been there?"

"I've been there for ten years since the slave was thirteen years old."

Liu Chenxuan said "um", walked behind Xiao Yezi, and said, "Can you tell me what happened today, from beginning to end, just after the concubine Niangniang entered the library pavilion." ”

Xiao Yezi began to say: "Niangniang, Biyue Girl, and Miss Xiangrong entered the library together, and Niangniang also brought fruits and pastries to the minions. Then the mother went into the room to read the book, a few of us played dice outside, halfway to the game, the slave was anxious, so he went to the toilet, on the way back, I don't know how the head was smashed, and when the slave woke up, he saw white smoke rising in the direction of the library, and the slave ran back in a hurry, and saw the library on fire. Then the slave went to knock on the door, and there was a sound of help inside, the door was locked, and the slave couldn't open it, and then the concubine asked the slave to go to the emperor. That's how it happened. ”

"Did you see the guy who hit you?"

"The minions didn't see it." Xiao Yezi recalled for a moment and said, "However, the slave was confused, as if he saw that his feet were a little dusty. ”

Liu Chenxuan walked behind the bookcase and said, "Your Majesty, there are indeed footprints fifty steps away from the library pavilion, and they are one deep and one shallow, indicating that this person is indeed a slope foot. And this person has already been caught. ”

The emperor tapped his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "Bring it up." ”

And there was a man who came up with what they called a lame man, and that man came into the temple, and fell down on his knees, and trembled and did not know what had happened. "Slave, slave, little cripple, see the emperor."

The Emperor asked, "What are you doing, and where have you been today?" ”

"The slave has been cleaning the utensils all day today, and he hasn't gone anywhere."

The Emperor continued: "Who will bear witness to you?" ”

"No, it's just a slave."

With a "slap", the emperor slammed his hand on the desk and said angrily: "Presumptuous, I dare to panic in front of me, someone saw you beating someone and setting fire to commit murder, and you didn't recruit it from the truth." ”

The little cripple was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and said aggrievedly: "The emperor is clear, the slave has not committed murder, the slave has been washing the bowl, and the emperor spares his life." ”

Liu Chenxuan took a step forward, bowed down and said, "The emperor is angry, Rong Chen will try the others first, and then they will be punished together." ”

"Okay, you can continue the trial!" The emperor waved his hand and said, "I want to see how many people can be brought out of this case." ”

"Obey." Liu Chenxuan turned his head, looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and said, "You said that the person who beat you was a little cripple, but the little cripple said that he had been washing the cripple." Neither of you has any witnesses, but you are all talking about your own opinions. Liu Chenxuan looked at the people standing on the side and continued, "Then start with the others." ”

Liu Chenxuan's gaze fell on the row of people opposite, and asked, "Miss Biyue, how do you know that you are the Phantom God Scatter Drug?" ”

Biyue bowed her head slightly and said, "It was the concubine Niangniang who said it." ”

The noble concubine Niangniang knows how to heal, this is something that the entire palace knows, and it is easy for Mo Yu to distinguish which kind of drug it is. Liu Chenxuan continued to ask: "Then why did you all faint, but the concubine Niangniang was still awake?" ”

Xiang Rong interjected and said, "No, Niangniang is sober because she hit her arm against the pillar, and she still has a big bruise on her arm!" ”

"I want Miss Rong to say just one point, I mean why didn't the concubine faint at the same time as you, but you fainted first, and your mother only later found out that there was a phantom scatter in the house?"

Xiang Rong thought for a while and said, "Is it because we are outside, Niangniang is inside, and the drug is slowly dispersed?" ”

"Yes." Liu Chenxuan nodded, took two steps, and said, "Because the place where you gather happens to be the place where you order the drug." I went to check the scene and found some white powder under the table near the door outside. It just so happened that Imperial Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Doctor's Department was also there, and I asked him for verification, and it was indeed the ashes of the illusion. In other words, while you are playing dice, Phantom Scatter is burning under your nose all the time. Miss Rong, were you playing in that position at the time? ”

Xiang Rong nodded and said, "That's right, there were fruit pastries on the table at that time!" Each of us had a note on his face, and Xiao Dezi was still sneezing, and we all laughed at him for who missed him! ”

"Miss Rong, can you describe how you sat at that time and where everyone was?"

Xiang Rong stretched out his fingers, counted them one by one, and said: "Sitting with his back against the table is Xiao Dezi, Xiao Dezi's right is Xiao Yezi, and on the left is Ma Gonggong, Biyue and I are sitting opposite Xiao Dezi, that's it." ”

Liu Chenxuan smiled and continued: "Then I want Miss Rong to recall again, who was the first person to feel sleepy at that time?" ”

Xiang Rong thought hard for a while, and said: "At that time, Xiao Yezi's father-in-law went out, and then Mu Gonggong felt sleepy first, yawned several times, and said that today's pastries were so delicious that he wanted to sleep." Then I also felt very sleepy, and Biyue also said that she was sleepy. ”

Liu Chenxuan walked up to Xiang Rong and said, "Then think about it again, who is the last to say sleepy, or who is the last to sleep?" ”

Xiangrong thought about it, but it didn't seem to remember. Biyue said at this time: "Xiangrong should have slept in front of me, when she was lying on top of me, I thought she was coquettish with me, I also pushed her twice, but she didn't wake up." Later, I also fell asleep with it, as if Xiao Dezi's father-in-law was still awake. ”

Liu Chenxuan walked up to Xiao Dezi and asked with a smile: "Father-in-law, is what Miss Biyue said true?" ”

Xiao Dezi nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, I saw that Father-in-law Mu and Xiangrong and Biyue were asleep, I thought they were tired from playing, so they fell asleep, but then I didn't know how, I also slept." ”

Liu Chenxuan laughed twice, walked up to the emperor, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister knows who it is." ”

"Who is it?" The man behind the desk asked coldly.

Liu Chenxuan turned around, raised his arm and pointed at Xiao Dezi, and said, "It's Xiao Dezi." ”

Xiao Dezi knelt down in horror and cried: "The slave is wronged, Your Majesty, the slave did not set fire, even if the slave has great courage, he does not dare to murder the concubine!" ”

Liu Chenxuan walked up to him and said, "You ordered the Phantom Divine Scatter, and you have your back against the table, which can cover it well." Grandpa Mu is the oldest, so he will feel sleepy first. Everyone is dizzy, but you're still awake because you stuffed cotton in your nostrils to prevent inhalation. Cotton is stuffed in your nostrils and your nose is itchy, that's why you're sneezing all the time. After you see that everyone is dizzy, you go out of the library because you have to deal with the little leaf that slipped through the net. You knocked him unconscious, and pretended to be a cripple when he was still a little conscious, so that Xiao Yezi thought that the little cripple hit you, so that he could blame the little cripple in the future. Then you go back to the library and set it on fire, intending to burn the people in the library. You thought that this would be the end of the matter, but you didn't expect that your master had no intention of letting you go, he knocked you unconscious, threw you into the pavilion, locked you from the outside, and burned you to death with them. Am I right? ”

Xiao Dezi still kept kowtowing, crying and shouting, "Wronged, the slave fainted later, and the slave doesn't know anything!" (To be continued.) )
