Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Death of the Princess
Su Zhiyuan thought of the Chiyan grass they gave to Emperor Xuanyue, and wanted the result of the previous competition, but after being interrupted, he didn't have a chance to get this again, so Su Zhiyuan wanted to ask Feng Wuyue again.
Now seeing Feng Wuxin, Su Zhiyuan wanted to try it, and she asked Feng Wuxin again: "That...... I still want to trouble you, I don't know if you still have the Chiyan Grass you gave to Emperor Xuanyue, I need a piece of that thing to make a medicine guide, if you still have it, can you sell it to me, you can pay any price. β
Feng Wuxin looked at Su Zhiyuan a little embarrassed, and she shook her head for a while: "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter, because this red flame grass was also brought out from Loulan by our previous landlord, and there is only this one in the building, and now it has been given to Emperor Xuanyue." β
"Ahh Su Zhiyuan couldn't help but be disappointed, he was actually one step late, so it seemed that he could really only hit the grass in Emperor Xuanyue's hand.
"What's wrong? Do you need it badly? Feng Wuxin saw that she was so disappointed and asked.
"Not much, the need is very needed, but don't worry, I'll figure it out by myself!" People have already said that they don't have it in their hands, and if she says anything more, it will obviously be embarrassing for others, so Su Zhiyuan changed her words.
"Okay, if I can still go to Loulan and get one, I'll help you find another pearl." Feng Wuxin still seemed to regret that she couldn't help her.
"It's okay, I'll figure it out myself, you've already helped me a lot."
"Okay, if there's anything you need our help with, be sure to let us know." I can't say why, Feng Wuxin is inexplicably very good to Su Zhiyuan.
"Okay, thank you."
Back at the post house, Su Zhiyuan told Sikong Mubai about this matter to see if he had any way, Sikong Mubai waved his hand: "There is still no way to do this for the time being, but we can try." β
"How do you try?" Su Zhiyuan asked stupidly.
"Fool!"
Su Zhiyuan followed Sikong Mubai into the palace, Sikong Mubai entered the emperor's study to talk to Emperor Xuanyue, and only Su Zhiyuan was bored outside.
She was thinking again, would Sikong Mubai mention the matter of Chiyancao to the emperor, this fool wouldn't just forget about this stubble just by chatting with the emperor, right?
Just thinking about it, she suddenly smelled a fragrance again, and she wondered if Feng Wuxin was here again, looking around, and suddenly lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I saw a smoky purple bed curtain, a purple satin quilt, and a jade-like arm!
What's the situation?
Su Zhiyuan was stupid, did he sleep in the ivory bed of which lady?
She subconsciously got up, and then she saw the whole body of that arm...... Naked whole body.
The girl was still lying on her back, the corners of her mouth and lower body were full of blood, and there were patches of purple marks on her body, and the girl's eyes were not closed, so she didn't need to look, Su Zhiyuan knew that this girl was out of breath.
And look at this way, how to die......
Sighing in her heart, she picked up her life and covered the girl, and wanted to go out and call someone.
It didn't seem like she needed to shout, someone had already come in outside.
After a palace maid saw Su Zhiyuan, she shouted, "Who are you?" How did you end up in the princess's room? Someone! Someone, help! β
Su Zhiyuan was speechless, and was once again regarded as a murderer.
"Why did you kill my daughter?" After Emperor Xuanyue saw his daughter's death, he was furious, pointed at Su Zhiyuan, and immediately wanted to put her to death.
Su Zhiyuan was still thinking about the details of the whole thing in her heart, but she didn't expect that the emperor was about to execute herself, and she was about to cry out for injustice, but she was already blocked by Sikong Mubai.
Emperor Xuanyue looked at Sikong Mubai, his eyes were red: "Sikong Mubai, don't deceive people too much, he killed my daughter so ruthlessly, do you still want to protect him?" β
"The medical officer just said that the princess was humiliated and died, and Su Zhiyuan couldn't do it." Sikong Mubai pulled him out from behind, untied her hair, and let the emperor look at this feminine Su Zhiyuan.
The emperor looked at Su Zhiyuan in disbelief: "What's going on?" β
Sikong Mubai said: "She is my fiancΓ©e, and she is dressed as a man for the convenience of travel, if you still don't believe it, you can ask the medical officer to check the pulse, and you will know it by trying." β
Emperor Xuanyue motioned for the Imperial Physician to come over and take a look, and after the Imperial Physician tremblingly checked Su Zhiyuan's pulse, he cautiously replied: "Your Majesty, this Miss Su is indeed a woman. β
If it's a woman, then it's not the murderer of the princess, so who is the murderer?
Although Emperor Xuanyue was still very angry, he had no reason to suspect Su Zhiyuan anymore, so he could only order everyone to continue to investigate strictly.
Three days passed, and still nothing was found, Su Zhiyuan thought of the princess's death, and his heart was also full of sympathy, so he said to the grief-stricken emperor: "If you don't dislike it, I think maybe I can help you find out the murderer of the princess." β
"Can you?" The emperor was clearly not convinced.
"Please let me try, the longer this kind of thing drags on, the fewer clues will be, and the more difficult it will be to find out the truth." Su Zhiyuan said.
In order to find out the truth, the emperor had no other way, so he allowed it.
Su Zhiyuan moved into the princess's previous room and lived in the palace, looking for clues in the palace day and night.
When she went to bed at night, she suddenly found a small bead under the corner of the princess's bed, this kind of bead is not uncommon, but the point is that there is a word engraved on this bead: Han.
Su Zhiyuan called the palace maid before the princess's death and asked her, "Is this bead the princess's thing?" β
"Not really." The palace maid replied tremblingly.
"It's not a princess's thing, so is there anyone whose surname is Han and what is the name of Han?" Su Zhiyuan continued to ask.
"No, when we enter the palace, we are the master's people, and no one will use the original surname, nor can we use the original surname."
is neither the princess's nor the person who serves, then there is only one possibility, belonging to the murderer.
And this murderer can humiliate the princess to death here, that should be very familiar with the princess's work and rest, and familiar with the environment here, if this is the case, then there can only be one possibility, a guard.
Narrowed down the scope of the target, it was much easier to find someone, Su Zhiyuan went to investigate all the guards on duty that day, and there was only one person surnamed Han, the head of the guard, Han Ji.
Su Zhiyuan silently pretended that he still didn't know anything, and walked around the harem, but he kept following Han Ji carefully, wanting to see what kind of person he was.
Just when he followed Han Ji on the second day, she actually saw Han Ji and Emperor Xuanyue's concubine in the garden.
Oh, my God! This is going to kill the head!
Su Zhiyuan felt that this matter was related to the princess's death, so she continued to observe Han Ji and wrote down the location of his private meeting with the concubine.
At night, Su Zhiyuan put on his night clothes and secretly followed Han Ji, who had a private meeting with the concubine.
The two had a private meeting in an empty palace, and Su Zhiyuan quietly hid in the closet, and through the gap, he watched a good life in the Spring Palace.
Just when Su Zhiyuan sighed that these two people were really bold, the two of them started chatting after finishing their work.
The concubine said, "Are you going to leave?" β
"If you don't leave, are you waiting for someone to catch you?" Han Ji got up and packed his clothes, and at the same time leaned down and smiled at the concubine: "Why, I haven't served you well, you still don't want me to go?" β
"Nonsense, obviously you asked me to come, do you know how difficult it is for me to come out?" The concubine coquettishly said: "You have to be careful recently, I see that the dog emperor has been investigating Yunluo's death recently!" β
The dead princess's name was Yun Luo, and when she heard them say this name, Su Zhiyuan instantly felt refreshed, she really had nowhere to find her iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get there.
She continued to listen carefully.
The guard Han Ji smiled: "Speaking of which, that princess is still a chick, it's a pity that she only used it once to die!" β
The concubine slapped Han Ji's back fiercely: "Dead ghost, do you still think about such a beautiful thing?" Are you waiting for her to break our business and let's die together? β
"Just kidding." Han Ji lowered his head and kissed the concubine's bright red lips, and said, "My heart, how can she compare with you, not to mention that I didn't kill her directly?" β
"That's what I'm talking about, if you're not careful, I won't protect you if you get caught!" The concubine said with some seriousness.
"Okay, I know, I'll go first, you can go back quickly."
Han Ji kissed the concubine as he spoke, and directly put on his clothes while leaving first.
The concubine waited silently for a while, and then packed up and went out, and Su Zhiyuan took advantage of the fact that they were all gone, and then came out of the closet.
It turned out that Princess Yunluo would only be killed if she broke their adultery, but this Yunluo was also stupid, why didn't she tell the emperor directly?
She told Sikong Mubai about this: "What do you say I want to tell Emperor Xuanyue?" β
"Catch thieves and catch stolen goods, catch traitors and see doubles, if you just say that, if you don't get bitten by them, the gains outweigh the losses, maybe the princess Yunluo thought the same way at that time, so they were given the opportunity to commit murder, so we ......"
Sikong Mubai deployed the plan in his heart, and then went to tell the emperor about it.
The emperor really didn't believe it, and said angrily: "You talk nonsense, I don't believe it!" β
Also, anyone who learns that he has been cuckolded will have such an annoyed and angry reaction, not to mention that he is still the emperor!
Sikong Mubai was not angry, but said: "Is it true, please follow my arrangement and watch a good show, and the truth will be revealed." β
The emperor was worried about his daughter's death, and on the other hand, he hated that those two people dared to cuckold him, and after thinking about it, he decided to listen to Sikong Mubai's arrangement.
The emperor called Han Ji over and said, "Tonight is Yunluo's first seventh, you go to Yunluo's dormitory tonight, burn some paper for her, keep vigil, if you really see Yunluo come back, tell her that I miss her very much." β
Where did Han Ji dare to go to Princess Yunluo's bedroom now, so he instinctively wanted to refuse: "Your Majesty, minister...... The minister has something to do tonight, and he wants to take leave, or I will arrange for someone else to ......"
The emperor looked at him directly: "Are you afraid that Yunluo will come back to murder you?" β
"No, no, no......" Han Ji knelt down suddenly: "The minister is not afraid, the minister is just ......"
"If you're not afraid, just do it on my behalf, I've always loved Yunluo, her death has a great impact on me, I've always trusted you, I hope you can do it on my behalf!" The emperor's tone was irrefutable, and Han Ji had no choice but to bite the bullet.
At night, Han Ji arrived at Princess Yunluo's bedroom, put the prepared paper money in the courtyard, and just as he was about to burn it, he felt a cool breeze blowing behind him, and Han Ji was so frightened that he hurriedly looked back.
But there was nothing behind him, but as soon as he turned around, another gust of wind blew, he hurriedly turned around, a petite shadow, wearing a white robe with his hair draped, slowly floated over from the corner, who was it not Yunluo?
"Is it Princess Yunluo?" Han Ji asked boldly.
Princess Yunluo slowly raised her head and glared at Han Ji with a pair of godless eyes, her voice ethereal: "Han Ji, give me back my life!" β
Han Ji was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Princess spare your life, I didn't mean to kill you, you said that you want to tell your father, I can't help it!" β
