Sister Yan was sitting upright, and it seemed that she really had the posture of a princess.

She glanced at me lightly, turned to look at the little palace maid, and said lightly: "Take a look at Concubine Song, this palace thinks that no one should be more familiar with this ...... than her."

"No need." I interrupted her, looked directly at her cheek, and said coldly, "This hairpin is indeed mine." ”

After finishing speaking, I turned sideways, reached out and took the hairpin in the hand of the little palace maid, and looked at it carefully, before raising my eyes and saying to my sister: "It's just that this hairpin was lost not long ago......"

"Not long ago?" Sister Yan sneered and questioned me: "She can say that this hairpin was picked up next to Kong's corpse." ”

I chuckled, disapproving of her words, "Since I entered the palace, this hairpin has been wearing on my head, if the crown princess has no impression, you can ask Yulan, she is the one who serves me every day to get up and freshen up, whether I wear this hairpin every day, no one should know better than her." ”

Sister Yan raised her head slightly, looked at me with contempt, and said contemptuously: "You have said it yourself, Yulan is your person, so how can her words testify for you?" ”

"Then sister can also ask Concubine Lin, I saw her not long ago, I think she should have an impression."

I looked her in the eye without fear, looking as usual and unfazed.

When Lin Shanning heard this, he immediately got up from the chair, and after bowing respectfully to his sister-in-law, he said slowly: "Back to the crown princess, it is indeed a matter." ”

Sister Yan turned to look at Lin Ningning, frowning slightly, as if she was very puzzled: "You..."

"But..."Lin Ningning suddenly spoke up again, interrupting Sister Yan's words. She turned to look at me and said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't remember, whether it was this hairpin on the head of Concubine Song that day, so... The concubine could not testify about this for Concubine Song. ”

She still had a smile on her face, and she looked clear and gentle, without any malice.

Just when everyone's attention was on me, as if preparing to see how I would respond, Su Muyun in the corner suddenly broke the silence.

"Should... It shouldn't be Concubine Song's doing......"

Hearing this, everyone focused their eyes on her, Su Muyun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, before she stood up again, facing her sister and said, "Princess, the concubine came to greet you with Concubine Song that morning, so... Concubine Song should not have time to kill. ”

I didn't expect Su Muyun to help me speak, after all, I was only a one-sided relationship with her.

"Don't worry." Lin Ningning spoke up again, "Jin Rao also has some things she has seen and heard that she wants to tell. ”

She still looked at me kindly, and after nodding slightly at me, she turned around, looked at her sister again, and said loudly: "Jin Rao's words may be of great benefit to the truth of this matter." ”

After finishing speaking, the palace maid beside Lin Shanning stood up, she faced her sister-in-law, lifted her dress, slowly knelt on the ground, and said softly: "The residence of Concubine Chu and the two ladies is not far from Yanxi Palace, so the slave maid happened to witness the scene at the time of the crime. Yan Xi Hall opened the courtyard door early, so when the slave maid was splashing water in the courtyard, she accidentally saw Concubine Song carrying the Kong family and left in a hurry, it seems that the Kong family was already out of life at that time..."

I chuckled and interrupted her, "There's something wrong with your lies. After a pause, I continued, "Since Kong was already dead at that time, why did I have to move her body in one more move? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to give people a chance to see me do it? You explain why I did this. ”

Jin Rao was choked by my words, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while, so she could only say hesitantly: "Because... Because..."

"Because you want to frame the crown princess." Lin Ningning suddenly spoke, and after receiving Jin Rao's words, she turned around and slowly took out a jade bracelet from her cuffs, with a kind smile on her face, "Concubine Song, you once intended to buy me and let me speak out to blame the crown princess for this matter, but you shouldn't have expected that your hairpin would be left next to the corpse, and it was even picked up by Kong's personal maid." ”

I laughed secretly in my heart, what a good Lin Ningning, she actually swapped me and Sister Yan in the plan she said that day, according to the original plan, it should have been Sister Sister Yan who handed over my hairpin to Lin Ningning, and then intended to blame me, but now, it has become me to blame Sister Yan.

Fu Yuying really said it right, Lin Ningning is indeed not simple, but I don't understand, doesn't she care about her mother's life?

Sister Yan sneered contemptuously and said to me: "Concubine Song, I said for the post-mortem of the Kong family, she must have died at the hands of someone who practiced martial arts, dare to ask who else in this palace is a person who knows martial arts, besides you?" ”

I was about to explain, but someone outside the door suddenly took a step ahead of me and said, "Practicing martial arts alone may not be able to kill you with one shot." ”

Everyone's eyes were attracted, Fu Yuying had not changed out of his court clothes, he came with the wind, his pace was extremely fast, and he was followed by Yan Hua.

Everyone hurriedly bowed over and saluted: "Prince Wanfu." ”

Fu Yuying raised her hand and motioned for me and them to get up.

My gaze gradually shifted to Yeon's eyes and smiled at her.

This morning, I suddenly remembered what Fu Yuying said to me last night, so in order to prevent Lin Ningning from turning back, I asked Yanhua to wait in front of the East Palace, and once Fu Yuying came back, I would immediately invite him over.

"A needle piercing the temple, in addition to martial arts, you also need to know how to doctor, otherwise you can't find the location of the temple."

Sister Yan walked slowly, looked at Fu Yuying with cold eyes, and asked, "How did the prince know that she didn't know how to heal?" ”

"She didn't learn it when she was in the Guogong Mansion, and the crown princess should know this better than the palace. Later, the Guogong Mansion collapsed and she followed the palace, and she has been under the nose of the palace, do you say that the palace knows about it? ”

Sister Yan gritted her teeth, glared at Fu Yuying hatefully, and said no more.

Seeing this, Lin Ningning walked over slowly, she was facing Fu Yuying, her neck was slightly closed, and her expression was gentle and clear.

"But Your Highness, there is indeed Concubine Song's hairpin next to Kong's corpse, and she herself admits that this hairpin is hers, and Jin Rao also saw Concubine Song carrying Kong's corpse and leaving, and she did intend to buy the concubine to blame the princess, and there is really nothing to deny."

I turned my head to look at Lin Ningning and shot back: "All of the evidence you so-called can be forged, and none of them can substantively prove that I am guilty, and how can you prove that you are not joining forces with the crown princess to frame me?" ”

She was unhurried and looked calm, "Why do I have to prove it? You have no evidence to prove that I am joining forces with the crown princess, then your words can only be guesses, and I naturally don't need to prove a guess. In the same way, since Concubine Song said that these evidence were forged, then she asked Concubine Song to come up with evidence. The justice in this world is not something you can tell with a single guess. ”

Sure enough, it's a difficult character.

"There is no time for the missing pearl to kill, that day is the second day of the wedding between Bengong and her, early in the morning, she stays with Bengong, how to do it?"

Lin Ningning didn't stop there, she lowered her eyes and smiled, raised her eyes to look at Fu Yuying, and said slowly: "But His Royal Highness has to go to the court every day, if it is said that Concubine Song did it after you left, it is not unreasonable." ”

I replied to her softly: "I said it, the time of Kong's death was about the first quarter of Mao Zheng to the second quarter of the hour, the prince left about a quarter of the hour, and I packed up to ask for peace, but it was only just the hour, such a short time, how did I finish killing people and freshen up to see the crown princess?" ”

Lin Ningning nodded thoughtfully and said with a light smile: "That's right...... It's just that you can tell the time of the prince's departure so accurately, isn't it a little strange? ”

She looked at me with a gentle smile on her face, but the city in her eyes was indeed bottomless.

At this time, I was in a stalemate with her, although Fu Yuying could prove that I didn't have time to commit the crime, but Lin Shanning was also able to use the exact time to suspect my crime, and she still had all kinds of so-called evidence in her hands.

I thought about the case for a moment, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"So be it." Lin Shanning suddenly spoke, "Although it can't be completely proved for a while that this matter is related to Concubine Song, Concubine Song is a suspect after all, Your Highness might as well confine her in her own courtyard first, and then make a decision after the matter is clarified." ”

I chuckled softly, and everyone looked at me frequently, probably thinking that I would retort, so they all stared at me intently, waiting for my words.

"I can accept that." I said such a sentence unexpectedly, and past Fu Yuying, I walked in front of Lin Ningning and continued: "I believe that the prince will find out about this matter. ”

I might as well grant her wish and see what tricks she can play, for I don't believe she has a way of proving that I must have time to murder Kong.

Fu Yuying turned to look at me, and I nodded slightly at him, indicating that this matter was feasible.

He was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Okay, from now on, I will confine Song Yizhu in my own courtyard, and after this matter is thoroughly investigated, I will discuss whether he is guilty or not." ”

I took two steps back, knelt down, bowed to Fu Yuying, and then said, "The concubine obeys the order." ”

I stood up and was about to leave here, but Su Muyun suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Your Royal Highness, the grounding is very depressing, and the concubine wants to move to live with Concubine Song, and she can accompany the concubine to relieve her boredom in her spare time."

Why is she...?

I frowned and thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized that she had just said a few words for me, and if she didn't stay grounded in the courtyard with me, I was afraid that she would suffer revenge from Lin Shanning and my sister-in-law.

Fu Yuying waved his hand and said casually: "If the pearl agrees, you can go." ”

Su Muyun then looked at me, I nodded at her, then turned my head to Fu Yuying and said, "Let her come over, it just so happens that I am bored alone." ”

When Su Muyun heard this, she hurriedly saluted me and said gratefully, "Thank you, concubine." ”

"Get up." I spoke slowly, and after Su Muyun got up, I left the room with her, followed by Yanhua and Yulan.

It's just that on the way back, I was very puzzled, she seemed to be very happy, and kept talking to me, without the melancholy and sadness of being grounded at all.
