Chapter 140: The Murderer's Motive
"The concubine knows that she is guilty of death, and she doesn't dare to defend herself, she just asks Your Majesty to give her concubine a death!" Yun Guifei's tears were still hanging, and she was pitiful for a moment.
The rest is His Majesty's family affairs, and naturally the fewer people who know, the better, except for King Qin, the rest of the people will retreat first.
Such an obvious mistake, Yun Guifei would not have made it, so someone must have done it.
Mo Ziyu raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xu's back, the person who has the ability and motivation to do this thing is afraid that he is the only one, is this thing done by him?
"You don't have to worry about today's events. Liu Xu naturally took Mo Ziyu's hand, "There is this king here." ”
Mo Ziyu nodded lightly: "The concubine believes in the prince." ”
After returning to Qiushui Garden, Liu Xu did not stay, but went to deal with some things, after all, there were a lot of things that happened tonight, and he had to come up with a way to deal with it overnight.
Mo Ziyu also breathed a sigh of relief after going back, and his back was cold, and he unconsciously shed a lot of cold sweat. Tonight is also very dangerous, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's intention to protect Liu Xu's reputation, what would happen to herself, it's really hard to say, so who spread those rumors?
Also, I don't know if something will happen to Mi Zi.
"Girl, drink a bowl of ginseng soup and go to the cold. Lu Qiao brought in a bowl of ginseng soup, "Is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet still lively tonight?"
"Don't say it, it's dangerous. Mo Ziyu took the ginseng soup and said while drinking, "By the way, what news does the third lady have?"
"What can happen to you under house arrest?" said Lu Qiao, "Leave her alone, girl, and take care of herself." ”
Qing Ling entered, handed a soup woman to Mo Ziyu's hand, and asked, "Is there something going on in the palace today?"
"There was an accident on the Queen Mother's birthday. ”
"I heard that this time the Queen Mother's birthday was handled by Concubine Yun Guifei, so she ......"
"Let's not talk about her, since this matter has nothing to do with us, we don't have to worry about it. Mo Ziyu asked, "Can you have any clues about the cause of Bai Ling's death?"
"I was about to tell you about it. Qing Ling said, "I'm afraid this matter is only related to Yun'er." ”
"Yun'er?" Mo Ziyu frowned slightly, "But is there any evidence?"
"Yun'er, I'm just afraid that I have some martial arts foundation. Qing Ling said.
"Even if she knows martial arts, it can't prove that this matter must have something to do with her. She is the princess's person, and she must be treated with caution. Mo Ziyu said, "But there is other evidence?"
"When I examined Bailing's body, I found one thing, there were some crumbs in her fingernails, and she should have grabbed the murderer's arm when she struggled before, so there must be a wound on the murderer's arm. Qingling said, "I tested Yun'er today, she covered it up very well, and she didn't show any traces of her martial arts, but maybe she was weak-hearted, but she covered it up too much, which made me have doubts in my heart." And I've seen a scar on her arm, obviously a scratch. ”
"Scars may help us determine who the killer is, but the origin of the scars is varied, and the murderer cannot be convicted. Mo Ziyu thought for a while and said, "There has to be conclusive evidence." There is also the question of why Yun'er killed people. ”
"I asked my brother today, that day Bailing went to the prince's study alone in the name of sending ginseng soup, and refused to leave, and later the prince found that the ginseng soup was under the **, and drove her out. Qing Ling said, "The other party took this as an opportunity to create the illusion that Bai Ling committed suicide because of humiliation." It's just this kind of thing, Bai Ling himself will definitely not say it, then there is another person who knows, it must be because this person knows about ** this matter, then she may be the person who plucked Bai Ling, or even provided ** to Bai Ling, in order to prevent Bai Ling from leaking this matter, so she killed people and killed people. ”
"It's not impossible. Mo Ziyu touched his chin and thought about it, "Since we can't find key evidence now, we might as well lure the snake out of the hole." ”
"How do you lure the snake out of the hole?" asked Midori with a wink.
Inside the Tongzhi Hospital.
"It's all here, why doesn't the princess rest?" Qiu Tong closed the window tightly, wiped the princess's cold hands, and burned the stove in the room a little hotter, "These little hooves, you know that you are lazy, and you have to teach them a hard lesson!"
"Qiu Tong, I feel tired. The princess looked at the clean territory and sighed weakly.
"If you're tired, just rest. Qiu Tong said, "The slave maid waits for the princess to sleep." ”
"I'm not sleepy. The princess stretched out her hand, roasted it, warmed her hand a little, paused, and then said slowly, "It's tired." Today, Concubine Yun Guifei called me over again and asked me to attack the prince. I have no son, so why don't I treat him as my own child, and when I see him suffer, will my heart be happy?
"But the old man ......" Qiu Tong sighed, and stopped talking, "The slave maid has already told the princess that from the moment we take the first step, there is no turning back." You can only take one step at a time. ”
"No matter who wins in the end, I'm the loser! I'm really tired of being caught between my father and my husband over the years. The princess held her head with one hand, her face full of helplessness and sorrow, "Qiu Tong, I feel bitter in my heart! I hated my father, why did he pull me to sink together, I hated why the prince never regarded me as his wife." I'm not a good daughter, I'm not a good wife, I want everything, but I know the result, I can't do anything, but I'm still so greedy, I know that I'm already in the quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper, and there is no way out. I'm tired, really tired. These days I often think that the night I got married, I thought I was about to become the happiest woman in the world, but I didn't know that this was the beginning of the misery of my life. ”
With a wry smile, the princess continued: "I often recall that when I was a child, I sat on the swing in the garden, and the maidservant pushed me high so that I could see the outside world.
"Princess, don't overthink it. Qiu Tong said, "Although it seems that there is a dilemma before and after, there may not be no way out in the future, so you must not give up so early." Now take one step at a time, first follow Yun Guifei's instructions, and pass the current level. The master's life is still in the hands of Yun Guifei. ”
The princess closed her eyes and sighed deeply: "It's worth it." ”
