Chapter 011: Under the Light Veil (Part I)

Emperor Wei Wen took the quasi-concubines through the back garden of the palace, all of which were rockeries, flowers and plants transported from the Great Liang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, there are many people in the Northern Dynasty who can calm the world on horseback, and there are very few people who can dance and write, not to mention the talents of these concubines and palace maids. It's just that except for Ju'er, there are many praises for Ju'er among the aristocratic sons in Chang'an City, but they don't know when they will be able to see it.

In contrast, the women of the Qinglou in the city of Daliang in the south of the Yangtze River, singing and dancing, are full of fun, and they are indeed much stronger than the spring of the Northern Dynasties.

It is the time when the peony flowers are blooming, and spring is full of joy. If it weren't for this case, Emperor Wei Wendi would have wanted to take Zhu'er's hand and either stroll or drink in this back garden. In this troubled era, Emperor Wei Wen has never had the luxury of how many beauties there are in the harem, and he doesn't have much interest in these quasi-concubines behind him, he just wants to grow old with a person he loves, which is probably also extravagant!

Emperor Wei Wendi's mind was very chaotic at this time, he naturally believed that Ju'er would not be a murderous suspect, but he didn't expect that this maid beside Yu Jiulu was so powerful that he could guide the suspicion to Ju'er's body. Emperor Wei Wendi probably guessed that this maid must have been trained by the old thief of Yuwentai, how could there be such a scheming woman in the Rouran Desert? If this maid stays, she will definitely cause trouble in the harem!

Emperor Wei Wendi suddenly stopped, and the concubines behind him didn't know what was going on, so they all stopped.

Emperor Wei Wen looked down, a sachet was trampled underfoot, and the eunuch leaned over to pick up the sachet and handed it to Emperor Wei Wendi.

"This is the sachet you brought?" Emperor Wei Wendi pondered for a long time, took out Zhu'er's brocade hand, and compared the needlework of the two: "This, this sachet is also Zhu'er's?" ”

The eunuch beckoned to Ju'er behind him: "Come forward!" ”

Zhu'er came to Emperor Wei Wendi, and after taking the sachet from Emperor Wei Wendi's hand, she untied the sachet in a panic, poured out the fragrant wood inside, smelled it, and was shocked: "Jia Luo, this is Jia Luo's sachet!" ”

Emperor Wei Wendi was puzzled: "Jialuo? Isn't it the little girl who taught the Rouran people that day? ”

Ju'er nodded, and Yu Jiulu behind heard it and was a little unhappy.

"This is the sachet I embroidered for Ju'er with my own hands, and my mother put the Qi Nan incense in it, and let Jia Luo carry it with her, and never left it. But it was left here, although I don't know why Garo appeared in the palace, but now he must be in danger! ”

Emperor Wei Wen instructed the eunuchs: "Quickly send an order, search the palace, and be sure to find a five-year-old girl!" ”

The eunuch left the herald.

Coming to the room of the woman in blue, Wei Wendi carefully inspected the entire crime scene. Emperor Wei Wendi looked at the wine jug on the table, poured it out, sniffed it carefully, and put it down again.

The eunuch, who had already sent an order, walked in from the outside: "Your Majesty, the wine jug has been inspected and is not poisonous." ”

Emperor Wei Wendi: "Can the cause of death be determined?" ”

Eunuch: "There is no other cause of death, there is only one wound on the whole body, and wherever the short knife goes, one knife is fatal!" ”

"A fatal stab?" Everyone retreated in horror, away from Ju'er and Yu Jiulu.

Emperor Wei Wen looked at them and waved his hand: "You all go back to your respective rooms, and you must not leave the door half a step until you find out the truth!" ”

Everyone retreated as if relieved, leaving only Zhu'er, Yu Jiulu and the annoying maid.

"If it is a deliberate murder, these daughters who are raised in the boudoir naturally will not have the strength, and it is impossible to kill them with one blow! Only one person can do it! Emperor Wei Wen walked in front of Yu Jiulu: "Do you still have to quibble?" ”

Yu Jiulu was speechless.

"I'm afraid not so, Your Majesty!" The maid walked to the table and pointed to the candlestick: "Your Majesty, look here!" ”

Emperor Wei Wendi didn't know why: "It's just a candlestick, a candlestick in every room." ”

"Yes, the candlesticks are found in every room, but this room is different." The maid walked in front of Ju'er again: "It is said that Miss Ju'er is the smartest woman in Chang'an City, such an obvious truth, it shouldn't be difficult for Miss Ju'er, right?" ”

Jull continued with the maid's reasoning, "Yes, the candles in every room are new, and after last night's dinner, everyone went to bed quickly. This candle burned out, and it must have been unextinguished all night. The deceased was not wearing a coat, so he must have been killed while he was about to go to bed! ”

The maid applauded: "Miss Ju'er really lives up to her reputation, that's right, the time of killing is the key!" The time to go to bed will not exceed midnight at the latest, because at that time, the eunuchs on patrol will inevitably come to urge, and it is impossible not to find the concubines who have not gone to bed! ”

Emperor Wei Wen looked at the eunuch, and the eunuch nodded: "I have already asked, only this bedroom is still lit when I am on patrol, because no one answers, and the patrol thinks that he has fallen asleep, but the owner of the house forgot to blow out the candle." ”

This maid actually knows so much about the things in the palace, Yuwentai's people are really not simple, and Emperor Wei Wendi's back seems to be cold.

Emperor Wei Wendi: "What can the hour say?" ”

"It can show that my master can't have time to kill!" The maid asked for yesterday's letter from Yu Jiulu's hand and presented it to Emperor Wei Wendi: "Your Majesty should recognize the handwriting on it, right?" ”

Emperor Wei Wen took it apart: "Yuwentai's handwriting? ”

"Yes, my lord knew that during dinner, the eldest princess suffered a loss, so he specially sent me to serve in the palace. It was the third watch time to meet at the corner gate! Your Majesty, it's very simple to find out the murderer, take the candles in each bedroom, and after comparison, it will be clear, whoever slept the latest last night is the most likely to be suspicious! The murderer must have waited until everyone else was asleep before committing the murder! ”

Emperor Wei Wendi knew that this maid came prepared, and Zhu'er must be being calculated, if she listened to what this maid said, she would definitely fall into the most disadvantageous situation!

The maid pulled Yu Jiulu to kneel down together: "Your Majesty Shengming, I will definitely return the innocence of my master and justice to the deceased!" ”

Emperor Wei waved his hand: "It's too hasty to assert who is the murderer just by just a candle!" ”

Maid: "Your Majesty just wanted to punish my master with just a short knife, is it also hasty?" ”

Emperor Wei Wendi: "Okay, just according to what you say!" Tell the eunuchs, "Bring all the candles used by the concubines." ”

The candles were placed in front of everyone, and sure enough, as the maid said, the other candles were only burned a little, only the candle used by Julie burned to half the length.

Maid: "Your Majesty, judging the length of the candle, the time when Miss Ju'er went to bed should be at the third watch last night, that is, the time when the deceased was killed!" ”

"Put the candles away!" Emperor Wei Wendi was very annoyed, regretted letting the eunuch bring a candle and fell into the trap of the maid: "Don't pursue this matter anymore, just stop it!" ”

"Can't forget it!" The maid looked out when she heard the sound, and was overjoyed, it was Yuwentai who came, this Yuwentai, entering and leaving the palace as if entering a no-man's land, coming and going without hindrance and not informing.

Yuwentai's arrival was not accidental, when he came out of the main hall with Emperor Wei Wendi, the maid quietly whispered to the eyeliner palace maid that Yuwentai had placed in the palace, and asked her to go to Otsuka Zaifu to report the news.

Yu Wentai saluted Emperor Wei Wen: "Minister Yu Wentai, I have seen Your Majesty!" He looked at Ju'er on the side, "Take down Dugu Ju'er!" ”

A pair of soldiers broke in outside the door, and they were about to take down Zhu'er, but they were stopped by Emperor Wei Wendi: "Bold! Glaring at Yu Wentai, "Yu Wentai, you actually broke into the harem with soldiers, is it with your heart?" ”

Yu Wentai: "It's too late for the minister's rescue, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" ”

"I'm safe and sound, how can I save the driver?"

"The minister heard that Dugu Xin was plotting a rebellion in Liangzhou, and it happened that there was another bloody case in the palace, and the minister suspected that Dugu Xin's father and daughter wanted to cooperate with the outside world, which was not good for Your Majesty!"

Hearing that Yu Wentai framed her father for rebellion, Ju'er struggled: "Your Majesty, the concubine's father has always been loyal, and it is impossible to rebel!" ”

Although Emperor Wei Wen was angry, he had no choice but to endure it: "Yuwen...... Yuwen Aiqing, Da Sima's loyalty, I still believe it, how can the rumors be taken seriously, check it out first, don't wronged Zhongliang! ”

Yuwentai was strong: "It will be too late for Your Majesty to believe that it will be too late until Dugu Xin's soldiers come to the city, and when the blade of this demon girl is in front of you!" Whether it's true or not, take down Dugu Zhu'er for interrogation, and you will know that if you keep her in the harem, it will definitely cause endless harm! Take! ”

The soldiers were about to take Ju'er out of the door, when Emperor Wei Wen stepped forward and snatched Ju'er back, but the soldiers pointed a spear at him.

Emperor Wei Wendi Long Yan was furious: "I don't think it's Dugu Xin who rebelled, it's you Yuwentai!" ”

Yu Wentai: "There are many offenses, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" The minister is also for the safety of His Majesty and the safety of the society! ”

Seeing that Ju'er couldn't bear to feel embarrassed by Emperor Wei Wen, she had to push Emperor Wei Wen away: "Your Majesty, you are not afraid of shadows, and the concubines have their own proportions!" Please rest assured, Your Majesty! ”

After saying that, Ju'er followed the soldiers out, and Yuwentai pretended to be humble and gave a salute to Emperor Wei Wen and withdrew.

Seeing his beloved being taken away by the traitor, Emperor Wei Wen gritted his teeth with hatred: "Old thief, old thief!" "I secretly swore that I must save Ju'er!

Yu Jiulu saw that Emperor Wei Wen was angry, and he couldn't bear to be framed, so he stepped forward to comfort Emperor Wei Wen: "Your Majesty is angry......

Emperor Wei Wendi shook off Yu Jiulu: "Get out!" Get out of here! ”
