Chapter 32: Killing the Concubine
Chapter 32: Killing the Concubine
"Ninth Princess, you can't kill me, I'm a concubine, if you kill me, the king will never let you go" Concubine Hui tried her best to get the last shred of reason and grabbed the lifeline of Gongsun Yuting, she knew that once the news of tonight's incident spread, Gongsun Yuting would definitely be investigated, and at that time she could naturally push the responsibility to Concubine Zhen, as long as Gongsun Qianyu let herself go.
"As a concubine, you don't want to help the king and support the government, but you commit a crime, buy a murderous act to assassinate the queen, if your father learns about this, you won't be able to ask for any benefit."
Qianyu deliberately flicked the sword body in front of Concubine Hui, the cold light trembled, Concubine Hui's face was pale, her wishful thinking was wrong, looking at this situation, Gongsun Qianyu would not let go of herself.
"Someone! There are assassins" Concubine Hui, who had nothing to do, suddenly shouted outside, Qianyu saw her calling someone, and her heart was also panicked, she originally wanted to arrest her and hand her over to her father, but she shouted like this, attracting night patrolmen, which was harmful to herself and not beneficial.
"Ahh
"It's... This..."Seeing Concubine Hui fall suddenly, Qianyu took a step back in fright, the long sword in her hand was inserted into Concubine Hui's waist at the moment, the bright red blood stained the blade red, and there was a dying and struggling Concubine Hui lying on the ground, Qianyu didn't know why Concubine Hui suddenly pounced on her sword, and Concubine Zhen on the side was already so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
"Ahh Killing" Concubine Zhen woke up Qianyu with a scream, she pulled out the morning dragon in fear, she was worried that the night patrol would arrest her as an assassin, she watched Concubine Zhen crawl out while calling.
A filament blade flew straight out, bypassed Concubine Zhen's neck, and returned to Qianyu's hand, she gently pulled the filament in her hand to prevent Concubine Zhen from making a sound, how did she expect Concubine Zhen's life to be as thin as paper, a filament made her Xiang Xiaoyu die, Qianyu never expected that the Morning Dragon Silk would be so hard, this was the first time she used the Morning Dragon Silk, but she made a human life.
The night patrol soldiers near Jinfang Palace heard the sound and rushed in time, however, Chu Yun was still one step ahead of them, when he arrived, he happened to see Qianyu pulling the filament, Concubine Zhen fell to the ground in anger, and Concubine Hui also fell in a pool of blood, Chu Yun looked at Qianyu in a daze, followed by the night patrol soldiers and Gong E, and suddenly the entire Jinfang Palace was screaming and chaotic, and the clever Gong E was busy looking for the palace doctor.
"Qianyu, how can you kill someone?" Chu Yun walked quickly in front of Qianyu and scolded sharply, but his body blocked the night patrolman's sight, he stroked Qianyu's cold little face, she was trembling slightly.
"Chu Yun, I didn't think about killing her, I didn't" Qianyu muttered, put away the morning dragon, and looked at Chu Yun with tears in his eyes, not knowing where to put his hands.
"Qianyu, don't be afraid, tell me, what happened?" Chu Yun grabbed Qianyu's hands and comforted her like an adult.
"I... I" Qianyu couldn't speak, her mind was in chaos, and she began to be scared when she saw more and more people gathered in the courtyard.
"Qianyu, tell me" Chu Yun shook Qianyu's arm, how could he not know that she was afraid? He was also afraid, although Qianyu was a princess, but the Son of Heaven was guilty of the same crime as the common people.
"They... She didn't know whether to say it or not, she was afraid that they wouldn't believe what she said.
"What's wrong, why is the entire Jinfang Palace in such a mess?"
Outside the gate of Jinfang Palace, Gongsun Yuting stood in the moonlight, a group of palace ladies behind him, hearing his voice, the chaotic crowd quieted down, he slowly walked to the dormitory, the concubine who had died of incense and jade was lying on the ground, Concubine Hui was seriously injured and unconscious, the palace doctors also came at the moment, and were treating Concubine Hui in the inner room, Gongsun Yuting held Concubine Zhen's body that was still warm, he turned to glare at Qianyu, and the corners of his eyes were also a little moist.
"Qianyu, did you do this?" Gongsun Yuting put down Concubine Zhen and walked in front of Chu Yun, but his eyes were staring directly at Qianyu behind him.
"It's... I did it" Qianyu stood up from behind Chu Yun, and in the face of Gongsun Yuting's questioning, she frankly admitted that Chu Yun secretly pinched a handful of sweat, this girl was in trouble again, and it couldn't be saved, he had never seen Gongsun Yuting so angry.
"Slap..."A loud slap hit Qianyu on the face, the corners of her mouth were bright red, she sat on the ground, covering her hot cheeks, two lines of clear tears fell, and her deep eyes were covered with a layer of sadness.
"You have challenged the patience of this king again and again, Qianyu, you tell your father, when will you stop?" Gongsun Yuting pointed at Qianyu angrily, his sword eyebrows raised, and he raised his hand to hit Qianyu again.
"King Chu is angry, now is not the time to blame the princess, saving Concubine Hui's life is the most important thing" Chu Yun rushed in front of Qianyu with an arrow step, blocking Gongsun Yuting's hand.
Gongsun Yuting withdrew his hand, his anger was suppressed temporarily, he threw up his sleeves and stopped looking at Qianyu, Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and picked up Qianyu with tears on his face, he hoped to drag it until Ouyang Yu arrived to see if there was anything else that could be remedied.
Ouyang Yu learned that Qianyu was in trouble again, and stumbled all the way to Jinfang Palace to know that this time it was not as simple as getting into trouble, she actually killed a concubine and injured a concubine Hui, she was so bold and reckless, Ouyang Yu almost fainted, and Yan Feng was also scared into a cold sweat.
"Qianyu, how can this be?" Yan Feng pulled Qianyu and looked at her gently, but Qianyu just shook his head, tears rained down, Yan Feng took Qianyu and hugged her tightly.
"Brother, I didn't hurt Concubine Hui, brother, you believe me" Qianyu buried herself in Yan Feng's arms, holding back her tears, she finally defended herself, and Yan Feng patted her shoulder.
"Well, brother believes in you" Yes, Yan Feng believed in her and believed that she didn't hurt Concubine Hui, but she herself just said that she didn't hurt Concubine Hui, it seems that Concubine Zhen's death was still her doing.
Ouyang Yu was exhausted, she couldn't do anything this time, killing the princess of Chu was a capital crime, what everyone witnessed, how could Ouyang Yu intercede for her? Fang just bumped into Concubine Hui's father Fu Qingyan outside Jinfang Palace, I'm afraid he has already learned the news, and after that, Concubine Zhen's father will also enter the palace overnight, and he is bound to seek justice for their daughter, Ouyang Yu has long been out of place, what should I do?
Just when Ouyang Yu was anxiously thinking of a way, the Criminal Law Department had already arrived, and the mighty group of people instantly surrounded the entire courtyard, Ouyang Yu was frightened, but there was nothing he could do, since the Xing Law Division had sent someone to come, then Qianyu would be convicted and taken to the dungeon of the Criminal Law Department, Ouyang Yu turned to look at Gongsun Yuting, but he was very disappointed, Gongsun Yuting was not moved in the slightest.
"Gongsun Qianyu, murdered the princess, was officially arrested by the Criminal Law Department today" The Central Management Department of the Criminal Law Department came in person, and she led a group of female divisions, all dressed in a corset, with carved flowers and swords hanging from their waists, so not majestic.
"Queen Mother..."Qianyu called Ouyang Yu in a low voice, she was forcibly held down by the female secretary who came forward, Yan Feng also hurriedly asked Gongsun Yuting for help with his eyes, but it also failed, Gongsun Yuting never looked at Qianyu again from beginning to end.
Chu Yun didn't say anything anymore, because he was an outsider, and it was not good to talk too much, he could only watch Qianyu being taken away by them, he knew that the Criminal Law Department of Chu State was a fair and strict place, not afraid of power, even if Gongsun Yuting broke the law today, the people from the Criminal Law Department would temporarily arrest him and transfer him to the Criminal Affairs Department.
After Qianyu was taken down, Ouyang Yu asked Chu Yun to talk, Chu Yun told her everything that happened tonight, Ouyang Yu thought about it, it was not a coincidence that Qianyu appeared in Jinfang Palace, she must have chased those murderers to come here, I am afraid that Qianyu knew something that should not be known, so she would lose her mind, Ouyang Yu had already known that Concubine Hui was secretly using methods, but she never thought that she had anything to do with Yan Feng's assassination.
The night was silent, but a killing added a bit of black to this night, the moonlight was slightly cool, outside the Jinfang Palace, a small figure stood outside the door, under the palace lamp, the pink clothes attacked lightly, she looked up at the moon, her expressionless face was sprinkled with moonlight, and a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Fuyu didn't cry, her biological mother died, but she didn't shed a single tear, just stayed away from the crowd, stood quietly, listened, until Qianyu was escorted down, she suddenly came back to her senses, she watched Qianyu leave, still without any expression.
"You said you would always protect me!"
In the night wind, Fuyu's words floated outside Jinfang Palace, no one heard them, she turned around leisurely and returned to Shui Weixuan.
This night, countless people had no sleep all night, the palace doctors did their best to treat Concubine Hui, Shui Weixuan was less angry and more and more calm, Ouyang Yu asked Hui Chu, and learned that Concubine Hui's life was not in danger for the time being, but she had been unconscious.
"Concubine Hui's sword stabbed her abdomen, but she lost too much blood and was temporarily unconscious, which is a blessing in misfortune, but Concubine Zhen was strangled by a steel wire and broke her neck, and the ninth princess was really measured" Hui Chu's words have always been in Ouyang Yu's mind, she believes that with Qianyu's skill, it is impossible to just hurt her, and moreover, Hui Chu's medical skills are excellent, and she must have seen the clues, Ouyang Yu thought hard all night, Yan Feng and Chu Yun also accompanied her.
The dungeon of the Criminal Law Department has been dark all year round, and each cell has only a small skylight, the sun shines in during the day, and the moonlight shines at night.
The Criminal Law Department is subordinate to the Criminal Law Department of the Palace, and the dungeon is also in the palace, at dawn, the Central Management Department of the Criminal Law Department came to interrogate Qianyu, which is the normal procedure of the Criminal Law Department all along, and it was originally determined that Sun Yuting, the prince of Chu, would personally interrogate him, however, the rules of the Criminal Law Department could not be messed up, and the Criminal Law Department would take back the interrogation words of Qianyu, and compare them when the second interrogation was made.
After the arraignment, Qianyu did not wait for the result, and stayed in the cell for several days, and the female divisions of the Criminal Law Department were quite cute, and assigned Qianyu to a no-man's prison, although it was quieter, it was better than crowding, and everything else was according to the treatment of other prisoners.
After being in prison for several days, no one visited, Qianyu was always worried about whether Ouyang Yu and Yan Feng would be implicated, and the female divisions of the Criminal Law Department were very strict-mouthed, and they couldn't get a word, so they had no choice but to wait.
