Chapter 168: Two Suspects
Butterflies?
The queen knew that this thing was something specially used to track on the rivers and lakes.
Her heart sank, and she couldn't help it, even her hand with the silk handkerchief stiffened, and her heart was uneasy.
Juan'er's disguise technique is good, but as long as the butterfly powder is on her, it is useless to let her disguise become.
The queen hung her heart and knew that Juan'er must have fallen into the hands of Emperor Ji Wu.
Emperor Ji Wu only glanced at the queen with the afterglow of his eyes, taking in her body movements, but asked Xian Chen quietly, "Then do you recognize that palace maid?" ”
"Yes."
Xian Chen's answer was very simple, because she had done something on the palace maid's body, no matter whether the palace maid changed her clothes or changed her appearance, she had the ability to recognize her.
"Hmm."
Emperor Ji Wu snorted lightly, and the swaying light of the candle flame illuminated the entire imperial study, but it could not illuminate the face of the emperor.
"Bring someone in." Emperor Ji Wu said lightly.
I saw two mighty, upright, simple and robust, armored Yu Ling guards, escorting two palace maids into the imperial study.
The two palace maids wore the same clothes and combed the same bun, and were escorted by Yu Lingwei to kneel in front of Emperor Ji Wu.
The palace maid shrunk her trembling body, lowered her head, and was timid, not daring to raise her eyes to look at anyone.
Emperor Ji Wu raised his hand and motioned for Xian Chen to recognize the person, "You go and recognize, see which of these two people is the one who tricked you into going to Siyun Palace?" ”
Xian Chen endured the pain in his knees, walked towards the two palace maids, lowered his head and ordered, "Raise your heads and let me see." ”
After getting Xianchen's words, the two palace maids raised their heads timidly again.
Xianchen saw the appearance of these two palace maids clearly, one was Gui Zhi, whose face was square and tough like a man; The other one is obviously much more beautiful than that laurel branch.
Another palace maid has a small face with goose eggs, smoky willow eyebrows, peach blossoms in Danfeng's eyes, and a cherry's small mouth.
Xianchen only felt that the palace maid in front of him was very beautiful and unfamiliar.
Only this palace maid secretly glanced at the queen, but her sneaky glance did not escape the eyes of Xianchen.
Xianchen also glanced at the queen with the afterglow of her eyes, only to see that the queen's eyes were dim and unfocused, as if she was in a fugue too empty.
At this time, the queen will not be too vain, there is only one possibility-she is calculating.
The queen's mind changed, and her face changed and changed.
She was thinking, when did Juan'er fall into the hands of Emperor Ji Wu?
She didn't know how long Juan'er had fallen into the hands of Emperor Ji Wu? During this time, did Juan'er betray her and the Su family?
Then she thought that Juan'er was a dead soldier trained by the Su family since childhood, and the dead soldiers of the Su family were all orphans found from all over the world.
They have no support, and they have nothing to worry about, such a dead soldier is extremely loyal, and Juan'er should not easily betray herself and the Su family.
Thinking of this, the queen's nervous heart also stabilized, although she was not calm, but she did not panic.
Yes, Juan'er is the elder brother of Queen Su, the general of Zhennan, the dead soldier secretly cultivated by General Su Kuilan.
Ten years ago, after Emperor Ji Wu completely pulled out the power of the Su family from the court, General Su Kuilan, who was far away in southern Xinjiang and guarded southern Xinjiang, began to train his own dead soldiers.
Ten years later, the orphans he found back then have now been successfully cultivated by him.
Juan'er was the first batch of dead soldiers to be sent to the palace.
General Su Kuilan and the empress were systematically sending the dead soldiers into the palace in batches and batches.
Waiting for the time to be ripe, it is the time for them to cooperate with the outside to overthrow Emperor Jiwu, set up a new lord, and help King Jing ascend the throne.
The queen who stabilized her mind didn't look at Juan'er, she didn't look at it, she just didn't want people to see her flaws.
As everyone knows, Juan'er was already on an errand in her palace, and at this time, she didn't look at Juan'er, which was the biggest flaw.
Xianchen is not stupid, Emperor Ji Wu asked people to bring two palace maids for her to recognize, there must be a reason for this.
Looking at the queen again, deliberately dodging the eyes of the beautiful palace maid, Xian Chen knew that there was a problem between the queen and the palace maid.
Xianchen was not reckless, and did not designate who deceived her to Siyun Hall today just based on her appearance?
Xianchen looked at the beautiful palace maid with a goose egg face and asked, "What's your name?" Which palace is it? ”
The beautiful palace maid with a goose egg and a small face said softly: "I am the palace maid in Jinhua Palace, who cultivates flowers, called Juan'er." ”
Although the palace maid's voice is small, it has a neutral atmosphere, the words are round, the words are clear, and there is no weakness in the middle.
Moreover, when she returned to Xianchen, she used the self-title "I", instead of the palace maids' self-proclaimed "slaves". This made Xianchen wonder if this person was from the palace.
Xianchen Liu's eyebrows frowned slightly, this palace maid, not only this face is unfamiliar, but even her voice is very unfamiliar.
Xianchen wondered, could it be that he was thinking too much?
Things are not complicated, but they are mediocre and self-disturbing, and they think simple things are complicated?
The voice of the palace maid named Gui Zhi spoke, Xian Chen remembered.
Because the palace maid who tricked Xianchen into going to Siyun Hall had the face of a man's wife, but she had Sister Lin's voice softer than water, which made Xianchen very curious.
Therefore, Xian Chen paid special attention to the voice of the palace maid.
Obviously, the voice of this palace maid was different from that of the palace maid who tricked her into going to Siyun Palace.
Xian Chen looked at the other palace maid quietly.
This palace maid has a big square face and a hard outline, and the face of the man's wife is exactly the same as the palace maid who claimed to be Gui Zhi who deceived her into going to Siyun Hall today.
In addition to the cowardly fear in the eyes of the palace maid, there is more of an inferiority complex of unconfidence.
Presumably, this palace maid has been hurt by her eyes and ridiculed by saliva because of her ugly appearance.
Such an unconfident person, even if he pretends, it is difficult to pretend to be the momentum of the palace maid who came to Rong'an Palace today and deceived her.
It was a kind of self-confidence, but also a little arrogant and disdainful.
Xianchen opened his mouth and asked the palace maid, "What's your name?" Which palace is it? ”
"Back to the girl's words, the slave maid, the slave maid is called Guizhi, and she is the palace maid in Yunhua Palace, who is responsible for pruning the flower branches and taking care of the flower garden."
The palace maid stirred the corners of her clothes, her voice was like mosquitoes and flies, and her body was trembling with fear, and she lowered her head and whispered.
Don't look at this palace maid, she has a wide skin and big face, her square face is well-defined, her face is not a man, she looks like a man, but her voice is thin and soft.
Only Na Rou is different from the palace maid who claimed to be Gui Zhi who deceived her into going to Siyun Hall today, and the Rou in her voice is different.
The palace maid who tricked her into going to Siyun Palace, her voice was as soft as water; And although the voice of this palace maid named Guizhi is soft, she has been cowardly and has lowered her voice for a long time, and she does not dare to make a loud softness.
Xianchen knew that although this palace maid was also called Gui Zhi, her voice was also soft; However, she is not the palace maid who deceived her into going to Siyun Hall today.
For a moment, the fog was heavy, and Xian Chen's brows frowned even tighter.
Looking at the clothes of these two palace maids, they are all different from the clothes of the palace maid who tricked her into going to Siyun Hall today.
Obviously, no matter which of the two of them is the real murderer, this change of clothes, it is impossible to have Yingdie powder on the new clothes.
Xian Chen sighed, if you want to survive in this palace, it is really not easy, you have more eyes, and you have more eyes.
Otherwise, you are framed by others, and even if you are given a chance, you may not be able to find the person who framed you.
Fortunately, Xianchen still had a killer feature, and she took a closer look at the hair of the two palace maids.
I saw that their three thousand green silks were all half-pulled and half-hanging, and they had not washed their heads; But she was careful, and she still saw a little trace of butterfly powder in the hair of a palace maid.
The corners of Xianchen's mouth hooked slightly, thinking, it seems that he can find out the real murderer without his own killer skills.
She bowed to Emperor Ji Wu, pointed to the palace maid named Gui Zhi beside her, and said:
"Your Majesty, although this aunt is also called Gui Zhi and is also from Yunhua Palace, she looks exactly like the aunt who tricked me into Siyun Palace today; But the courtier knew that she was not the aunt who deceived the courtier to Siyun Palace. ”
In such a short period of time, Xian Chen was able to judge that this palace maid named Gui Zhi was innocent, which made Emperor Ji Wu look at her with admiration again.
"Oh", Emperor Ji Wu looked at Xian Chen with interest, and pointed to the palace maid named Juan'er, "Then you mean, it was this palace maid who lied to you?" ”
As soon as Emperor Ji Wu's words fell, he saw the palace maid named Juan'er, and her face turned pale with fright in an instant.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid is pruning the flower branches in the Jinhua Palace of the queen mother all this morning, and the slave and maid have really not left the gate of Jinhua Palace, and please ask the emperor to take a look."
At this moment, the queen didn't dare to speak for Juan'er, and the Yingdie fan was the best evidence, she could only wait and see what happened.
The only thing the queen has to do now is to find out if Juan'er has betrayed herself and the Su family.
At this time, I heard Xian Chen continue: "Your Majesty, this aunt named Juan'er is the aunt who deceived the courtiers into going to Siyun Hall today, the courtiers are still uncertain. ”
"Oh, so how do you know for sure?" Emperor Ji Wu asked deliberately.
"Back to the emperor, the clothes worn by these two aunts are different from the clothes worn by the aunt named Guizhi that the courtiers saw this morning, so it can be seen that the Yingdie Fan is no longer on their clothes.
However, the courtier also sprinkled the lady's hair with butterflies, and the courtiers had just seen that the hair of these two aunts had not been washed, so one of them must still have butterflies powder in his hair.
The night is the best environment for the glow of the butterfly pink, and I also ask the emperor for permission to let these two aunts go outside the imperial study, so that whoever will fluoresce in their hair will be suspicious. ”
Immediately, Emperor Ji Wu waved his hand to the two Yu Ling Guards.
The two Yu Lingwei understood in their hearts, and escorted the two palace maids to the outside of the imperial study.
Xianchen endured the pain in his knees, and moved his steps to the outside of the imperial study.
"Queen, why don't we go and have a look."
The emperor stood up with his sleeves up, caught off guard, and came out with such a sentence, like a knife and a sword, which made people tremble when they heard it.
The queen trembled, twitched the muscles on her face, and forced out a smile.
She bowed to Emperor Ji Wu and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Ji Wu didn't look at the empress, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and he walked past her without looking.
The empress lowered her head and followed behind Emperor Ji Wu in embarrassment.
At this time, the palace people with quick eyes and quick hands had already moved chairs for Emperor Ji Wu, but they did not bring chairs to the queen.
Naturally, the queen and Gu Ziyi stood aside.
Emperor Ji Wu sat on the chair and watched the miracle happen lightly.
I saw that leaving the cover of the bright lights in the imperial study, in the dark night, the girl named Juan'er, her hair was mottled and fluorescent, just like a lively star in the sky, flickering.
Seeing the fluorescence on Juan'er's hair, this fluorescence was different, Xianchen was even more puzzled, and the doubt in his heart was even worse.
Seeing the fluorescence on Juan'er's hair, the queen knew that Juan'er's chess piece could not be kept.
Before Xianchen could speak, the queen made a preemptive move.
