145 dying throes
Later, what Gu Qingwan said was roughly the same as what Ke Yunyan said, and only said: "I heard Cui Di all the way that the attic of Fengzhu Garden is very beautiful, and I happened to be outside Fengzhu Garden at that time, and I saw that Cui Di had not returned for a long time, so I simply thought about going to the attic of Fengzhu Garden to have a look." But he didn't expect to go up to the attic, and he saw that the horse was covered in blood, and he saw that Cuidi had a murder weapon in his hand, so he couldn't understand, so he could only turn around and flee. But I didn't expect Cui Di to have the heart to kill people, fortunately I escaped with injuries and met Princess Chengjun again, otherwise I guess I wouldn't have been able to keep this life. ”
As soon as the words fell, a palace maid came in with a wooden tray, on which was the dagger that Gu Qingwan brought into the palace, and now Ke Yunyan and Gu Qingwan have the same tone, and this dagger has become the murder weapon of Cuiti.
Although the dagger that Gu Qingwan picked was sharp, it was also a very ordinary thing, without any identification or anything like that, so Gu Qingwan dared to carry it with her.
This dagger injured Ke Yunyan and Gu Qingwan, but it is an indisputable fact, Gu Qingwan threw the dagger at Cuidi before getting out of trouble, not only to delay time, but also to leave the evidence in Fengzhu Garden. At that time, although Cui Di was very surprised to see this bloodstained dagger, first, she didn't see what happened to Ke Yunyan hiding behind the door, and second, she didn't think that Gu Qingwan could also be ruthless to herself.
She wanted to catch up with Gu Qingwan, but she didn't have time to think about it, so in a hurry, she could only find a place where the vegetation flourished and hid the dagger. It's just that Queen Chen rummaged through Fengzhuyuan afterwards, and naturally found the "murder weapon" hidden by Cuidei.
After Empress Chen looked at it, she asked Liu Yi to put the dagger aside, and only asked Princess Chengjun: "You saved Princess Rui, so I will tell everyone about it." ”
Princess Chengjun got up and saluted Queen Chen, and then said solemnly: "As Princess Rui said, at that time, she said that she was not strong enough to drink and wanted to go to the lake for a walk. It's just that I saw that she hadn't come back for most of the hour, and I couldn't help but be a little worried, and it just so happened that the lieutenant's wife said that she had invited a few ladies to walk outside. He invited me to go with him, and I answered. ”
Speaking of this, there was a hint of pity on Princess Chengjun's face: "When our group walked outside Fengzhu Garden, we suddenly saw Princess Rui rushing out of Fengzhu Garden, and shouted 'help'." Her entire arm was soaked in blood, and she looked very embarrassed. She also said that we should go to the Fengzhu Garden to save people, saying that the horses were in the Fengzhu Garden. Then I saw Cui Di follow out of the Fengzhu Garden. Princess Rui asked the palace maid to tie her up. ”
Princess Chengjun repeated yesterday's scene without missing a word, and Queen Chen asked a few more questions, and she answered them one by one. The ladies who were present yesterday were all invited over today, and everyone said something similar to Princess Chengjun, just the lady who went into Fengzhu Garden to check. and again talked about the tragic situation when he found Ke Yunyan in the attic.
Empress Chen's expression was abrupt, and she said aloud: "What the situation was at that time, everyone must have a bottom in their hearts. As she spoke, her voice became cold again, "Bring Cuidi up." ”
Cuidi had already been brought over by Liu Yi. It was just a screen for her to wait outside. Gu Qingwan's eyes glanced at her indifferently, but she saw that her hands and feet were still tied, and she had a handkerchief on her mouth, although there were some scars on her face, her hair and clothes were not messy at all, and she must have specially cleaned up before coming.
The two grandmothers knelt down under the pressure of Cuidi, and Queen Chen glanced at Liu Yi, and then heard Liu Yi say, "What else do you have to say?" Don't tell me why you committed murder. ”
Liu Yi just finished speaking. A grandmother tore off the veil from Cuidi's mouth, but she never loosened the tie.
Cui Di had already cried out, and said that she was wronged. I also asked Empress Chen and the ladies to make decisions for her.
Gu Qingwan saw that Empress Chen's face was sinking like water, and she glanced at Cuidi who was crying again, and said coldly: "What's the use of crying." Say anything, and I will see if you can make the black white. ”
Cui Di raised her head timidly, but saw Gu Qingwan looking at her coldly, her eyes were like wasteland ice and snow, which made her shiver. Through yesterday, she knew that this Princess Rui was a very difficult person to mess with, and she was still ruthless to herself, let alone others.
The master's plan has been disrupted by Princess Rui, and now she has lost the opportunity to pour dirty water on Princess Rui.
But even so, she had no choice but to think of her and try her best to make up for it. It's just that she can't move the root at all, and she has no doubt that if she falls into the hands of Princess Rui or Princess Huihe, the end will be far more than the word "miserable".
"Last night the princess said that she didn't have the power to drink, and asked the slave maid to lead her outside, and then the slave and maid ...... Internal urgency. The princess said that she wanted to sit alone for a while, and let the slave and maid come back to her later. When the slave returned, the princess was already gone. The slave and maid searched everywhere and saw the princess enter the Fengzhu Garden from a distance. The slave maid thought that the princess had said that she wanted to go alone, so she only stayed far outside the Fengzhu Garden. It's just that the princess didn't come out after half an hour, and the slave maid was worried, so she couldn't help but go to the attic to find out, but she happened to see the princess coming out of the attic. ”
The content of what Cui Di said was completely different from what Gu Qingwan and Ke Yunyan said, Xia Nei, who had been standing in the corner without any movement, raised his head and glanced around the room.
And Cui Di continued: "The princess saw the slave and maid outside, and began to panic, and the slave and maid were about to ask the princess when she would return to Heqing Garden, but she didn't expect the princess to suddenly run out of Fengzhu Garden. When the slave and maid chased him out, he heard from the princess that the slave and maid committed murder and had the slave and maid tied up. ”
Cui Di finished saying these words intermittently, and Gu Qingwan glanced at her more.
Until now, Cui Di has been closely guarded, so naturally no one will come to talk to her. Her original intention was to accuse her of having an affair with Ke Yunyan, but she was secretly put on the spot by Gu Qingwan, and now that Gu Qingwan and Ke Yunyan have identified her, the only thing she can do is to admit her guilt.
Unexpectedly, this Cui Di temporarily compiled a set of words, implying that the injury on Ke Yunyan's body was Gu Qingwan's hand.
However, what Ke Yunyan said was exactly the same as Gu Qingwan, and she said that she was wronged, implying that there must be something ulterior between Gu Qingwan and Ke Yunyan. If only Empress Chen was interrogated now, Cui Di would not dare to be so bold, but there was an extra Xia Nei attendant in the house, and he would only learn the matter to Emperor Yufeng.
Emperor Yufeng's temperament has become more and more eccentric recently, and no one knows what he will think about in his heart.
A trace of anger flashed on Empress Chen's face, and she heard Liu Yi snort coldly: "There are all human and material evidence, and you still want to quibble now, you simply don't know whether you are alive or dead." You'd better be honest, who told you to do this? ”
Although Gu Qingwan only watched Liu Yi speak, she had been paying attention to the Yu family, so she listened to the Yu family and the lady beside her: "It is also the master of the horse who has a great life, and the small attic of Fengzhuyuan is still a hidden place, but he was bumped into by Princess Rui, and it happened to save his life." ”
Gu Qingwan laughed when she heard Yu's words, but she didn't defend herself, she just looked coldly at what Yu and the two ladies on the left and right were talking about.
Hearing Cui Di say that she was wronged, Gu Qingwan suddenly asked, "What you want to say, have you finished it?" ”
Cui Di didn't know why, although he was worried in his heart, he still answered softly with a "yes", and listened to Gu Qingwan said: "That's good, we have our own opinions, and it's not easy to judge which is right and which is wrong." Now, I'm just going to ask you one question. ”
"When I went out of Heqing Garden, I was afraid that Mama Huang would be worried, so I asked you to inform Mama Huang, this matter was ordered in front of Princess Chengjun, I don't know if you have ever mentioned it to Mama Huang?"
Cui Di's face suddenly turned pale, and he muttered for a long time, but he felt that any excuse was very pale. At that time, she just wanted to buy more time, as long as Princess Rui and the concubine were guilty of secretly communicating with the princess, no one would naturally ask about such a trivial matter, but she didn't expect it to become ironclad evidence now.
"As I said before, you didn't mention this matter to Mama Huang, but you pretended to go to Mama Huang with a pretended intention, which shows that you planned it early in the morning. You took me to the vicinity of Fengzhuyuan, and killed the horses there, and led me over afterwards, in a vain attempt to blame me. You want to stir up trouble between King Rui's Mansion and Princess Huihe and the Marquis of Jinxiang's Mansion, and you want to provoke the love between the queen's mother, Princess Huihe and the prince, and his heart can be punished! ”
Xia Nei, who was standing in the corner, suddenly raised his head and squinted his eyes in the direction of Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian seemed to feel something, and a hint of anger faintly appeared on her face.
"This lieutenant's wife." Gu Qingwan suddenly turned her words to the Yu family, "What you just said to Mrs. Xu, I think it makes sense, this Fengzhuyuan is still a little biased in the end." I was deliberately led there by Cui Di, but I don't know why the ladies went to Fengzhuyuan? ”
After saying this, the faces of many people present changed.
What Gu Qingwan meant by this meant that someone deliberately led a few ladies to Fengzhu Garden, if Cuidi acted smoothly, wouldn't these ladies just happen to be "human witnesses".
"We were just walking around Heqing Garden at the time, and when we think about it carefully, it seems that someone really mentioned going in the direction of Fengzhu Garden." Princess Chengjun whispered a few words to the lady sitting to her right, and the two looked at Yu in unison.
Yu's face immediately turned pale, and the two ladies she was sitting on the left and right were also there yesterday, and they exchanged glances with each other at this time.
Gu Qingwan's smile became more and more serious, she glanced at Queen Chen, and said, "Please also ask the queen to decide." ”
Before Empress Chen could speak, Yu immediately knelt down in fright, and her body trembled violently: "Please also ask Niangniang to be clear, the courtiers just said a casual sentence of Fengzhuyuan last night, and there is no superfluous meaning, please also ask Niangniang to be clear." ”
"Speaking of which, there is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
