Chapter 62: Murder in a Secret Room (2)
Seeing Zhu Ao coming, Lan Youcheng seemed to be enchanted, knelt on the ground with a "plop", crawled to Zhu Ao, hugged his thighs and cried: "Lord, the concubine is wronged, Lord, please be the master of the concubine!" β
At this time, Sun Yunqi and Lan Youcheng's mother Li Anyi also came. Sun Yunqi saw this scene in front of her, she was completely ruined, she originally thought that she was quite accurate in seeing people, but she never expected that Lan Youcheng, who was pure and safe in her eyes, would actually do such a thing, and her anger surged into her heart unconsciously, and she pulled down her face and shouted: "Youcheng, what's going on?" You'd better explain it to Hongu. β
Lan Youcheng let go of Zhu Ao, knelt down in front of Sun Yunqi and cried: "Sister, please believe the concubine, the concubine really doesn't know anything, I woke up and found that there was an extra person on the ground." Someone must have framed the concubine. β
Lan Youcheng's mother Li Anyi was also frightened, and she had been a little wife to Lan Yu for more than ten years, and she was very old and sophisticated in her heart, if the little wife of the princely general was unfaithful to the head of the family, what would be the end, it would be more miserable than going to hell, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "Lord Wang, please believe Youcheng." She's not that kind of person. Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, the slave maid has raised her for more than ten years, what kind of person she is, the slave and maid know best. Although Zhu Ao promised to crown Lan Youcheng as a virtuous concubine, after all, the canonization ceremony has not been held, and Li Anyi does not have any title, so he can only call himself a slave in front of Zhu Ao, which is also a characteristic of feudal society.
Zhu Ao also calmed down at this time, he thought carefully about the before and after meeting Lan Youcheng, and thought that she was not the kind of woman with watery poplars, not to mention that she was not a fool, a good princess would not be a good princess, she had to have an extramarital affair with a little military attachΓ©, and she was full?
Zhu Ao's eyes stared at Lan Youcheng, who was crying, and said expressionlessly: "You explain this matter to this king clearly." β
Seeing that the prince gave her a chance to justify, Lan Youcheng was overjoyed, and immediately knelt up straight, holding Zhu Ao's clothes tightly with both hands, as if grasping the thread that held her life, and cried: "Lord Wang. After the concubine waited for the prince and the queen to dine last night, she went back to the room directly, because yesterday was the day of the founding of the prince, the concubine was happy for the prince in her heart, so she drank a few more glasses of water and wine during the meal last night - this prince also saw it, and then returned to the room, feeling dizzy and dizzy, so he directly locked the door, turned off the lights and went to sleep, never expected to see this person lying here when he opened his eyes the next day. Lord, the concubine is really wronged. The prince saved his concubines and the fire and water, and the concubines were too late to repay the prince's great kindness, so how could they do such a thing that was inferior to pigs and dogs? Please be clear! β
Zhu Ao took a closer look at Lan Youcheng's room, her room is not big, there are only two windows, and they are all locked from the inside, there is no other exit, and her room is not big, and there is no place to hide people, if the murderer uses that trick to kill someone and then hide at the scene and then sneak out while people are not paying attention, he will definitely be seen at a glance, thought for a while, and asked Lan Youcheng: "Did you come back alone last night?" Did you see anything unusual before you went to bed? β
Lan Youcheng shook his head and said, "Lord Qiqi, it was the concubine's personal palace maids Xiaohong and Xiaocui who accompanied the concubine back. The concubine didn't notice anything unusual before she went to bed, and the concubine remembered that when the concubine slept, there was absolutely no such person in this room. β
Zhu Ao asked Xiaohong and Xiaocui again, and got their confirmation, that is, the corpse appeared in the room after Lan Youcheng locked the door and slept.
Damn, murder in the secret room, this king is about to lead the troops to fight, do you still want to be a detective here?
Zhu Ao said to the palace maid who reported to him: "Was this the first thing you found out?" β
The palace maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Lord Qiyu, it was the slave maid who discovered it first." β
Zhu Ao stared at the palace maid intently, as if he wanted to see through everything about her, and said, "Tell me about the situation at that time." β
The palace maid knelt on the ground, did not dare to move, straightened out her thoughts, and replied respectfully: "Yes, the slave obeys the order." Early this morning, the slave maid and Xiaoyue went to ask Concubine Xian to get up early for dinner, and the two of them knocked on the door several times and did not see any response inside. The slave and maid immediately used their strength to slam the door, and after hitting it several times, they finally knocked the door open, and then they saw the body of Lord Wang Xianrong lying in this room, the slave and the maid and Xiaoyue were so frightened that they screamed loudly, attracting many palace maids and eunuchs to watch, the slave and maid thought that the matter was too much to do, and they should report to the prince as soon as possible, so they let them guard the scene, and they ran to the prince to report. β
Zhu Ao glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, and said, "Which one is Xiaoyue?" β
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old little palace maid immediately stood up, walked to Zhu Ao with her head down, knelt down, and said, "Back to the prince, the slave maid is Xiaoyue." β
Zhu Ao looked at the docile little palace maid, pointed to the palace maid just now, and said, "What she said is the truth?" β
Xiao Yue lowered her head and said in a very crisp and gentle but very affirmative tone: "Back to the prince, what she said is true, and the slave can testify." β
Zhu Ao looked at Lan Youcheng again and said, "Is this what it looks like?" β
Lan Youcheng nodded very weakly, as if she felt that her fate had already been doomed, and she also knew in her heart that under such conditions, she was definitely the only one who could commit the crime, no matter who it was, she would be regarded as a murderer, and she would become a woman who would take revenge and take revenge.
Sure enough, Sun Yunqi's pretty face pulled the elder and asked sharply: "Lan Youcheng, this palace asks you." If what you have just said is true, then tell this king, who in this world can sit down on this case but you? Could it be that the ghost can't do it? β
Lan Youcheng's tears flowed down, she knew in her heart that her room was a secret room, the doors and windows were locked from the inside, and there was no other exit, there was nothing in the room before she locked the door, and there was a dead body the next day, anyone would think that she was a murderer, because there was no possibility of anyone else committing the crime, she fell to the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The concubine can't argue, but the concubine definitely didn't do anything sorry for the prince, even if she went to the underworld, went to the knife mountain, and got down the oil pot, The concubine is still the same sentence. β
