Chapter 242: Trial I
"Our Emperor XiΓ will surely be furious by the death of his own daughter, but for the things behind him, he will definitely conduct a thorough investigation." Angel smiled coldly and got up gracefully.
I don't know if the person behind the scenes thinks too highly of herself, or underestimates Changsun Yuanhong too much, things have been done a little too much but arouse suspicion, Changsun Yuanhong has lived in the palace for so many years, if he didn't even have this basic calm, he would have been eaten a long time ago and there would be no bones left.
"Niangniang, I'm afraid the emperor won't give up on this matter, especially at such a critical moment!" He Jiu frowned, he is old, and he has long been out of sight and out of mind about these messy things, but if it has an impact on his master, He Jiu's sensitivity is still very great.
No matter what the twelfth princess says, they are all his daughters, and over the years, the eldest grandson Yuanhong has not treated each other very much, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about that daughter.
There are only three princes and princesses who have passed away in the entire palace, but even so, the eldest grandson Yuanhong's partial daughter Fu Cheng DΓΉ will still be a little sad, these years, as the twelve princesses grow older, they have been put to their side to raise, and the relationship between the two fathers and daughters has eased a lot.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong was about to leave the palace, and he was about to pack up his things, when his daughter was killed, and during the time he was not in the palace, whether the entire previous dynasty would be lifted off by those ministers was a serious question.
Angel, as the mother-in-law of the Twelfth Princess, is naturally to blame for such a thing, and for the death of the Twelfth Princess, and then in connection with the matter behind the side, she can guess a person without thinking.
The place where An Meng'er and the Twelfth Princess had an accident was a palace very close to Changxin Palace, and like Weiyang Palace, it was also an abandoned palace, and almost no people lived there.
The murder of the concubine, of course, has to be strictly investigated, not to mention that the person who died is still the queen's half-sister, and this matter is even more sloppy.
The bodies of the twelfth princess and An Meng'er were parked in the side hall of the palace, Angel calmly glanced at the corpse, but found that An Meng'er's eyes were full of blood, and the two eye sockets were extremely hollow, as if the eyeballs had been gouged out.
Angel wrinkled, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeve, it has been verified by a forensic doctor that the deceased will record the last person he saw before death in his eyes, forming a evidence of the crime, so some extremely cruel criminals will choose to gouge out the victim's eyes.
Angel frowned unhappily, this time that person was too ruthless, and she was also ** caught in this whirlpool and couldn't get out, so she could only ......
"Someone!" Angel flicked her sleeves, "Bring several palace maids around An Jieyu to the palace, and the palace will try the case in person." In addition, let the side back wait outside! β
"No!"
Several palace maids and eunuchs present heard Angel'er say that they were pardoned, and hurriedly went to find An Meng'er's personal maid.
After a while, the guards pressed An Meng'er's maid to come up, although An Meng'er has a sister who is the queen and can be given preferential treatment in many things, but in the face of some substantive problems in the palace rules and regulations, Angel sometimes seems a little helpless.
There were only three palace maids present, the woman at the head was called Xiao Tou, followed by Xiao Cai and Xiao Xia, these people were all personally selected by An Meng'er, who had lived by An Meng'er's side for many years, so naturally they knew An Qi'er.
"The person who knelt in the audience, raise his head, and return to the palace in 1510!" Angel was extremely irritable, she was able to frame An Meng'er, a stupid woman, and even abducted the twelve princesses, such a big thing, she didn't believe that these three women didn't know anything, "First report your date of birth, home address, and who else in the family, how many years you have been in the palace, and what you used to do." β
"Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is called Xiao Tou, sixteen years old this year, the family lives in the courtyard of No. 13 Civilian Hutong in Beijing, six years ago because the family was poor, unable to make a living, Dad sold the slave maid into the palace, there are parents and younger brothers at home, before serving the mother, do embroidery work in the knitting workshop."
"Back to the words of the mother, the slave maid Xiaocai, doing needlework by the side of the little master of Jieyu, is seventeen years old this year, the hometown is Kaifeng, because the family is poor, the slave maid entered the palace at the age of five, and has been learning to make dim sum with the grandmother in the imperial kitchen, and the family is fleeing like Beijing, and there is no one."
"The slave's name is Xiaocai, a native of Luoyang, who used to be a palace maid who cleaned the palace in Luoyang, and was transferred to Shengjing as an errand last year, the slave was born in Luoyang, and is seventeen years old this year, and there is an old lady who makes a living by embroidering people."
When Angel heard the other party talk about Luoyang Palace, she was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Xi Wanyi.
The latter also blinked dimly, and when he looked at Angel, he shook his head silently, indicating that he didn't know him, and besides, this woman came with something abnormal, maybe this woman was a breakthrough.
Angel then came to her senses, "Then this palace asks the three of you, when was the last time you saw An Jieyu last night, and if anything strange happened." β
The three of them thought about it for a while, and shook their heads in unison, An Jieyu's spirit was not very good in the past two days, saying that the weather was too hot, and they didn't take it to heart.
Xiao Tou tilted his head, "Jieyu has been very unwell in the past two days, and she has been relying on sour plum soup to nourish her appetite, otherwise she won't be able to eat anything." β
Can't eat anything? Relying on sour plum soup to nourish your stomach? Angel stood up in pain, "Come on, come in, no, summon an experienced grandmother, go...... Go and see An Jieyu's belly. β
If this is really the case, it may make sense, that person obviously has such a good secret guard by his side, but he is not in a hurry to kill An Meng'er for a while.
At this critical opportunity, he got rid of An Meng'er, not to mention, and blamed others, but it was not successful.
After an older grandmother was brought in, she bowed slightly to Angel, thinking about which old lady should be next to her, and after stroking An Meng'er's stomach casually twice, she got up and said to Angel, "Hui Niangniang, this little master, it looks like she is pregnant, but the time is not very long, about only about a month, and even she doesn't know very much." β
