Chapter 18: The True Murderer
"How can Princess Yaling be so sure that her courtiers did it?" Gu Yunshu frowned, turned her head to Wei Yaling, and said with a little aggressive momentum.
"You and I compete together, and the bamboo bear hurts me but doesn't hurt you, isn't it obvious? Gu Yunshu, your heart to harm me is obvious, so why quibble? Wei Yaling was apprehensive in her heart, but she also insisted on it.
Anyway, Wei Yajing said that she couldn't find out the reason at this time, as long as she bit Gu Yunshu to death, she would not be able to escape.
The emperor lowered his eyes and stared at the two girls below, but he was very interested, he wanted to see how this Gu Yunshu could exonerate himself.
"Gu Yunshu, the princess is conclusive, what do you have to say?" The emperor spoke in a calm voice and looked at Gu Yunshu with a calm face.
Gu Yunshu saluted respectfully, and said with a slight smile: "The princess knows that my court has always paid attention to evidence, and you are a courtier, so may I ask Her Royal Highness the princess, can there be any evidence or physical evidence?" ”
"Ho...... Why do you need all these things? You are known to be jealous of this princess, not who else are you? Wei Yaling paused slightly, and then dared to speak.
"Since the princess has no evidence and material evidence, she can't convince everyone, and the evidence is not established." As he spoke, Gu Yunshu suddenly knelt down towards the emperor and kowtowed: "Please also ask the emperor to return the innocence of his courtiers." ”
Seeing the situation, Wei Yaling was a little panicked, and finally seized the opportunity, if he missed it, he might not have such a good opportunity in the future!
"You, you just caught this princess and there is no evidence, so excuse yourself, you are clearly the one who framed this princess! No one but you would do such a vicious thing! ”
"Could it be that the princess's guess based on just a few words broke off the crime of the courtier? The law of our dynasty is not so hasty, the emperor and the queen are also fair and strict people, who is right and wrong, the two saints know it in their hearts! Gu Yunshu raised her head and stared at Wei Yaling, the momentum in her eyes was not inferior at all, but she forced Wei Yaling back a little.
The queen's veil had been scratched out of shape in the wide cuffs, and the silk of the best quality had been scratched out of several holes.
She secretly observed the emperor's expression, she was really a little unpredictable, on the one hand, she wanted to protect her niece, and on the other hand, she had to protect this Gu Yunshu, who could treat Mu Qianshan, she felt bitter!
"Your Majesty, this matter may be an accident, after all, there is no evidence, it is normal for the little girl's family to be cautious, why don't you turn the page on this matter?" The Empress glared at Wei Yaling, and then cautiously probed the Emperor's tone.
The emperor vetoed: "No, I am a dignified son of heaven, how can I allow the ladies of the court to mess around like this." ”
"Your Majesty!" The queen was about to open her mouth to continue the persuasion, but after meeting the emperor's eyes, she obediently closed her mouth.
Gu Yunshu was unwilling to follow the consumption, raised her head to meet the emperor's gaze, and spoke: "Your Majesty, today's matter has nothing to do with the courtiers, if Her Royal Highness the princess is not clear about the courtiers, it can also be regarded as a misunderstanding." ”
"Yes, it's all a misunderstanding, Yaling, this child, has been pampered since he was a child, he has never suffered this kind of injury, and he can't accept it for a while, and his insanity is understandable." The queen listened to what Gu Yunshu said, and secretly lucked in her heart, and hurried to follow her words.
At the same time, the queen also gave Gu Yunshu frequent looks, and Gu Yunshu bowed her head slightly in understanding, but Wei Yaling still did not change her mind, and was ready to continue to speak, but was glared back by the queen.
"Your Majesty, this kind of thing can be big or small, the courtiers are willing to find out the real culprit and settle the matter, what does the emperor think?" Gu Yunshu saluted slightly, with respect in her words and her confidence in finding the murderer.
The emperor didn't reply immediately, just lowered his eyes and stared at Gu Yunshu, stroked his beard thoughtfully, and said: "In this case, if you can find the murderer, this matter will be stopped." ”
"No!" Gu Yunshu answered, and walked outside the tent.
Standing outside were the ladies of your mansion who came to participate in the autumn hunt today, and when those people saw Gu Yunshu who was calm and relaxed, their eyes were full of surprise, and they lowered their heads one after another.
However, Gu Yunshu walked in front of Shen Lingyu and pulled her out.
"You! What are you holding me for? I didn't tell you to hurt Princess Yaling. Shen Lingyu was so frightened that his courage broke, and he pushed the matter to Gu Yunshu while struggling.
Gu Yunshu was not angry, she only felt funny, and after letting go of Shen Lingyu, she sneered and said, "How do you know that the emperor uploaded me about the bamboo bear?" How do you know that I came to you to talk about it? Are you supposed to be a thief? ”
Shen Lingyu's pupils dilated several times in an instant, and he swallowed his saliva: "What...... What does a thief have a weak heart? You don't have any evidence, don't spew blood. ”
"Evidence is such a thing, I can have it if I want to, this matter, big or small, it is all up to me to decide, do you say that you want to bow down to me or say that you want the emperor to punish the crime? It's not a trivial matter to hurt the niece of the current queen, besides, with the importance that the queen values me now, you framed me, do you have good fruit to eat? ”
Gu Yunshu was light and light, and lowered her voice and spoke in Shen Lingyu's ear, which could be regarded as giving her choice and advice.
"I ...... It's all up to you. ”
In desperation, Shen Lingyu still chose to bow to Gu Yunshu.
Gu Yunshu raised her eyebrows in satisfaction and walked towards the tent with Shen Lingyu.
"Didn't you say it would be nice to listen to you? Why are you still taking me there? Shen Lingyu was shocked, and he stopped and refused to move forward.
"I'll take care of you." Gu Yunshu walked forward as she spoke, and her confident appearance made Shen Lingyu have to follow even if she didn't have confidence.
In the tent, the emperor originally thought that Gu Yunshu had found the murderer, and was thinking about how to punish this daughter of Shangshu.
However, Gu Yunshu's explanation surprised him.
She said in an orderly manner from beginning to end that the purpose of bringing Shen Lingyu here was because she saw Shen Lingyu's panicked expression, and said that after her interrogation, she realized that Shen Lingyu had seen the bamboo bear crash out by himself, and felt that Wei Yaling was seriously injured and frightened, so she was so panicked.
"In that case, the biggest culprit in this matter is Bamboo Bear?" The queen reacted first, looked at the emperor and said.
"The queen's words are not wrong, after all, they are beasts, and it is common to sprinkle when they see people, it can only be said that Princess Yaling is unlucky today, and she bumped into her, and she can't blame anyone." Gu Yunshu said, and glanced at Wei Yaling.
Looking at her embarrassed appearance, in stark contrast to her usual arrogance and domineering, this made me feel much more comfortable.
