Chapter Thirty-Eight
"That's right, we believe in the prince."
Ye Yuhong's gaze fell somewhere, and seeing Ye Yuqing's maidservant Cuiluan, she seemed to be a little flustered.
She deliberately walked over, and Cuiluan hurriedly lowered her head.
"Ye Yuhong, what are you going to do? Do you still want to suspect that it was my people? ”
"Sister, you don't have to panic, the prince and brother said just now that the murderer is here now, which means that you and the people around you are also the object of suspicion."
Ye Yuqing was angry, "Aren't you the same?" ”
Ye Yuhong didn't deny it, and suddenly grabbed Cuiluan's hand and put it under the tip of her nose and sniffed it.
"Do you still think you're a dog? This kills someone, but I'm afraid that now I will wash my hands clean, with your little ability, can you still smell it? ”
Even if you do wash it, the smell of blood will still remain.
It wasn't something that could be washed in a while, Ye Yuhong did smell it on Cuiluan's hands.
Cuiluan was worried that the matter would be revealed, so she quickly retracted her hand.
"Fifth princess, the slave maid has always been by my princess's side, and I have never been to the rockery, and no one has seen the slave maid, why do you have to put your mind on the slave maid?"
Ye Yuhong let go of her hand and looked at her shoes again.
turned around and walked towards Ye Lige's side, leaned close to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Ye Yuhong, if you have something, just say it loudly, you are so cautious, and you and the prince's brother are still whispering there, don't you make us suspect that you are still working together to do this?"
Ye Yuqing really didn't plan to let Ye Yuhong go, no matter what the circumstances, she could put all the bad things on Ye Yuhong's body.
Ye Lige nodded slightly, agreeing with what Ye Yuhong said.
"But, Hong'er, are you sure you're right?"
Ye Yuhong still recognized her nose, and she had already smelled the smell of grass behind the rockery on Cuiluan's body just now.
The flowers and plants there are different from other places and are easy to tell.
Especially now that Cuiluan is in this group of people, the taste is even more obvious.
I believe that whether it is myself or other people, as long as you pay a little attention, you can smell it.
"Brother Prince, I promise that I am not lying about this matter, if you don't believe it, you can follow my wishes, if something really happens in a while, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities alone."
"How can this palace let Hong'er bear it, even if there is really anything wrong with this matter, it has nothing to do with Hong'er, you just want to help me."
"Thank you Brother Crown Prince for your trust."
Ye Lige said suddenly: "This palace already knows who the murderer is, and now if you take the initiative to admit it, you can still take it lightly, but if you don't tell the truth, don't blame this palace for being polite." ”
Cuiluan was a little anxious, but her eyes still looked towards Ye Yuhong.
Sneakily, he raised his hand and sniffed, thinking about what Ye Yuhong smelled just now.
"Princess, what now?" She asked in a whisper.
"What are you afraid of, then Ye Yuhong is just lying," Ye Yuqing said in a low voice, and asked questions in front of Ye Lige, "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be joking about this matter, from the time your father asked you to investigate, until now, you only glanced at the corpse, have you already found something suspicious?" ”
Ye Lige said: "This matter has nothing to do with the corpse at all. ”
"How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still say that? This investigation of the murderer, of course, has to look at the corpse, which is too child's play. ”
"But His Highness has already said that he knows who the murderer is, and he won't lie, right?"
Ye Yuhong said: "Father, the flowers and plants behind the rockery are different from other places in the palace, I believe everyone in the palace knows about this, and the grass still has a strange smell, the murderer can wash his hands, but he may not be in such a fast place, so he changed his clothes and shoes, just now I walked around inside, and I smelled a strange smell." ”
Queen Lin retorted, "What else can this grass taste like?" Ye Yuhong, you have a daughter's family, don't come out to get involved in this matter again, it turns out that the emperor has already asked the prince to investigate, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
"Father, as long as you lift your shoes up and check them, I believe you will know who the murderer is."
Hearing Ye Yuhong say that, Cuiluan became even more flustered.
Taking advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, the whole person took a few steps back to the back, took off his shoes again, and threw them somewhere.
Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Ye Lige.
Before anyone could react, Ye Lige stepped forward and grabbed Cuiluan.
"The murderer is this slave."
Everyone looked towards Cuiluan, thinking about a maidservant, how could she have so much courage to dare to kill someone in the palace.
No one will believe this, it seems that Cuiluan is also very weak.
Cuiluan hurriedly knelt down in front of Ye Lige, "The emperor forgives the sin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin, not a slave." ”
"Not you? So why are you taking your shoes off? ”
"When the slave came here, she stepped on some bad things, and she was worried that it would affect His Royal Highness the Prince's investigation of the case, so she wanted to take off her shoes, Your Majesty, what the slave said was true."
Ye Lige saw that she still didn't admit it, so he asked someone to find out the shoes.
"Hong'er, can you look at the taste?"
Ye Yuhong took it, "Exactly, Brother Prince, look," she turned the sole of her shoe over, "There is grass on it, which is the same as the grass in the rockery." ”
"Ye Yuhong, don't you frame my person, why should she say that it is her, even if she has this smell on her body and grass on her shoes, it can only mean that she is passing by there, I believe that many people here have passed by."
No one paid attention to Ye Yuqing, and even Queen Lin didn't stand up to defend it at this time.
If a slave is caught, it will have no effect on them, and they can't still put their future into it at this time.
"What else do you have to say?"
Cui Luan kowtowed, "Your Highness, Your Highness, this matter was done by the slave and maid alone, and it has nothing to do with other people." ”
"Why did you kill her? There is no grudge between you. ”
"The slave knows that on the last birthday of the Queen Mother, this person has mocked my princess, and the slave and maid are also distressed that the princess is benevolent and righteous, and she will be bullied by an official lady if she is too kind, so she can't get used to it, so she killed her this morning."
"Qing'er, is she right about this?" The emperor looked at Ye Yuqing.
Ye Yuqing knelt down, "Father, the son does not know, and I hope that my father will remember that she is also loyal to the Lord and spare her from dying." ”
The emperor slapped one hand on the coffee table fiercely, "A servant girl has this ability, but she still puts me in her eyes, come to someone, pull this person down, and wait for the fate." ”
