Chapter 340: Convicting the Eyebrows
Mu Yunge, who is raised in the princess's courtyard, has a different and leisurely life, occasionally Xu Ruli comes over to chat with her, and occasionally receives a letter from Zhang Ying from the palace, so that she will not be out of touch with everything that happens in the outside world.
After lunch, Mu Yunge instructed her subordinates to set up chairs on the corridor, and she wanted to take a nap in the breeze.
Xu Ruli walked into the courtyard, and what caught her eye was the Muyun singer holding the book, and the palace maid was waiting on the side, looking comfortable.
Laughing as he walked, "Yunge, you have a good life, it's just you, no matter what earth-shaking changes happen outside, you are also so light-hearted." β
"Ruli, this is unreasonable, life in the world, I just steal half a day of leisure, and the disturbances outside, I don't care but look down, so that I can see the overall development clearly, and not blind."
Mu Yunge sat up and entertained her friends who came to see her.
Hui Chun is still helpless when he looks at his master on the side, but the master's temperament is also very good, and he doesn't have to worry too much but gives people a sense of relief.
The two were talking happily with each other, and the carrier pigeon connected to the palace flew into the court at this time.
Mu Yunge glanced at the familiar pigeon and said to Xu Ruli: "It seems that the princess has brought us good news again." β
"The princess has been in the palace for a while, and I still miss her a little, and I don't know how it is in the palace."
The subordinate sent the letter to Mu Yun Singer, and Mu Yun Ge unfolded it, "Don't worry, who is the princess?" β
But after reading the letter Mu Yunge's face was full of surprise, Xu Ruli became even more curious, what could make Yun Ge like this.
Without waiting for Xu Ruli to ask her, Mu Yunge said the content of the letter.
"Wu Qianqian drowned."
Xu Ruli didn't do it like this, and she didn't know how to react for a while.
How so? Wu Qianqian only chatted with himself many days ago, such a fresh person said that he would die, and it seemed that the people behind the scenes couldn't help but want to make a move.
"I'm afraid it's not going to be easy." Xu Ruli told her guess.
"Your guess is right, I'm afraid that the people behind the scenes will continue to carry out activities, and I'm afraid that the princess will be calculated in the palace."
Mu Yunge's face was full of worry, and he quickly thought in his mind about how to assist Zhang Ying and find out about this matter, the longer the truth of this matter dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to Zhang Ying, and even implicate other innocent people.
"Ruli, you immediately let the intelligence network investigate this matter, the sooner the better."
made a decision immediately, Mu Yunge immediately started to deal with it, hoping to help Zhang Ying, everything was in time.
Xu Ruli also knew the seriousness of the matter, and left in a hurry after receiving the order, and immediately went to contact his subordinates.
In the palace
The results and evidence of the investigation of Dali Siqing are playing with the saint.
She searched for an agate bracelet on the shore of Rushui Lake, and the owner of this bracelet was Mei Concubine's according to the investigation, and there were also eunuchs on patrol on the night of the incident who saw Mei Concubine appear on the shore of Ruoshui Lake.
All the evidence shows that the person who murdered Wu Qianqian was Mei Concubine.
The saint did not seem to be surprised by this result, and instructed Xiao Zhuozi to inform the Yuan concubine, the queen mother, the Mei concubine, and other concubines to go to the queen's bedroom to listen to the results of the investigation.
"Later, everyone will be there, and you will tell the truth about the results of your investigation, and I will see who is behind this."
After a while, everyone received the order of the saint and rushed to the queen's bedroom, and the queen knew that Wu Qianqian's drowning death had a result, so she ordered someone to freshen up and dress herself, waiting for the emperor's arrival.
When the saint arrived, all the people arrived, and he went to the main seat as if nothing had happened, and looked at the crowd, but did not speak.
The Queen Mother saw that the emperor had even brought Dali Siqing, presumably because the evidence was conclusive, so she asked the emperor out loud, "Emperor, what the hell is going on?" What's the matter with you calling us here and not saying anything? β
The saint observed the expressions of the people, and there was an intriguing smile on his majestic face.
"Queen Mother, don't be impatient, I will let Dali Siqing explain this matter well, but I have some questions to ask before that."
When everyone heard this, they immediately sat more upright, for fear of getting involved in this matter, and tried their best to look calm.
Li Yuanai couldn't sit still a little when he felt the emperor's eyes probing, could it be that the results of the emperor's investigation were related to him? This is impossible, she did it seamlessly, it is impossible to show the horse's feet, could it be that there is something wrong in it.
Seeing that Li Yuanai was a little nervous under his own scrutiny, the saint said: "Mei Concubine, Wu Qianqian drowned on the night, but the eunuch on duty saw you appear on the shore of Ruoshui Lake with his own eyes, do you deny it?" β
Qi Mei was named, and he panicked.
It's true that she's been to Ruoshui Lake, but she hasn't done anything, so what should she do?
After waiting for a while, the Queen Mother spoke, "Mei Concubine, what did the Holy Lord ask you?" β
"I, I, I did go that night, but I didn't do anything, I just couldn't sleep, I went to relax."
Qi Mei was a little weak when she said it, because she went because of Li Yuanai's words to find out, but she couldn't say that she would definitely be bitten back by Li Yuanai at this moment, saying that she would blame her and not be good.
Everyone looked at the appearance of the concubine and knew what must be in it.
"Oh, the eyebrows are so interested, if there is such a remote place on the shore of the lake, you have scattered your mind there."
"The saint believes me, Wu Qianqian's affairs have nothing to do with me, how can I harm her? I have no grievances with her. β
Seeing Qi Mei arguing, Li Yuanai pretended to help her speak, knelt down, and looked innocent, "Shengshang, Sister Mei Concubine is not such a person, she is broad-minded, and she is definitely not the kind of person who holds grudges, I saw that she had a dispute with Wu Qianqian that day, and I didn't care, presumably Mei Concubine and her have already reconciled." β
The speaker is interested in listening, and everyone has thought clearly about the case in their minds, and the eyes of the eyebrows are weird.
"Holy Lord, is it too arbitrary to conclude that Mei Concubine is the murderer just because she has been to the shore of Ruoshui Lake?"
Zhang Ying would not believe that Qi Mei would be a murderer, someone must have planted it.
With Dali Siqing handed a box to the Shengshang, under the gaze of everyone, the Shengshang opened the box and took out the agate bracelet inside.
The workmanship is fine, rare in the world.
Li Yuanai let out a sound of surprise after seeing this thing clearly.
"This ......"
"It seems that the concubine recognizes this bracelet."
"Back to the saint, this bracelet was given to my sister Mei not long ago, many people saw it at that time, I used this thing to apologize, how could it appear here?"
Qi Mei didn't understand who was harming her when she saw this bracelet, she was really stupid.
Li Yuanai picked up a handkerchief to hide his smile, this eyebrow concubine is really naΓ―ve, this bracelet was two at the beginning, one is his own dowry no one knows, the other is made by his own celebrity two months ago, and the one given to the eyebrow concubine was quietly stolen out and thrown into the lake yesterday.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she slammed the table, "What else is there to say?" Mei Concubine, now there are human and material evidence. She promised Zhang Ying to protect her eyebrows and be thoughtful, and she could only convict before the emperor was convicted, so that there would be room for repayment in this matter.
"Someone is coming, pass on the order of the mourning family, and from now on, the eyebrows and concubines will be grounded and wait for the fate."
