"It's you, cousin." Qinghui complained to Mingda aggrievedly: "It's just a woman of unknown origin, cousin, you are actually angry with me for her, is she also worthy?" ”

"Harue, do you know what you're talking about?" Mingda asked with one hand on the table, looking at Qinghui's cold face.

"Of course I do. Cousin, you are angry with me for the sake of the woman who is not involved with His Majesty, where is that woman good, innocent palace people are all affected by her, now one is dead, and another does not know whether he is alive or dead, such an ominous person deserves to be so good to her, cousin? Qinghui's eyes were red, her eyes looked at Mingda motionlessly, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Or is it because you used to get along under the same roof, so cousin, if you have affection for her, you can not even care about your cousin?!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Mingda raised his eyebrows, his big hand swept over the tabletop, and the tea cup on the table fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

Qinghui's feet were hit by the flying porcelain pieces, although it didn't hurt, she still cried, crying heartbreakingly without manners: "Cousin, you know that you yelled at me for other women, you used to be gentle to me, that woman ......"

"She's not that woman." Mingda reminded her lightly: "Her name is Yunqing." ”

"Cousin!" She is like this, her cousin actually spoke for the woman who couldn't beat the eight poles, Harumi was so angry that she cried even more, and glanced at Mingda, who was unmoved, with her mouth curled, and turned around and ran out hatefully.

Li Li was so frightened by this change that he didn't dare to say a word, and waited until Qinghui ran away and the main hall was completely quiet before he cautiously stepped forward and asked: "Your Highness, Miss Biao ran out like this, will you not be able to think about it, do you want people to follow?" ”

"She has her own guards arranged by her mother, so we don't have to worry about it." Mingda pressed the corner of his forehead physically and mentally exhausted: "This girl is really spoiled by her uncle and mother." ”

"Uh......" Li Li asked people to clean up the porcelain pieces on the ground, then stepped forward and handed over a cup of tea again, and looked over without saying a word.

"Got something to say?" Mingda asked.

Li Li gently put the teacup on the table, retracted his gaze and moved his lips twice, and then asked cautiously: "Your Highness, your subordinates are just puzzled, is it because of Miss Biao's words and deeds that you are so angry...... " Li Li raised his eyes and met the light of Mingda's eyes, "Or is it because Miss Biao insulted Miss Yun with her words?" ”

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"Your Highness, the difference is huge." Li Li smiled and rubbed his fingertips, plucked up the courage to say to the young man with a beautiful demeanor: "Miss Biao's words and deeds are wrong, it is normal for you to be angry, after all, Miss Biao grew up with you since childhood, and the feelings of cousins and sisters are far more comparable. …… But if you are angry because of Miss Biao's attitude towards Miss Yun, it means that in your mind, Miss Yun's status is different. ”

A shallow smile appeared in Mingda's eyes, and he didn't take it to heart: "You think too much, even if Qinghui slanders anyone else like this, I will be angry, not just because of Yunqing." ”

His attitude was too frank, and when Li Li saw it, he felt that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and immediately lowered his head and told Mingda: "Your Highness, your subordinates are narrow-minded." ”

"It doesn't matter." Mingda has always been generous to people and things, and waved his hand at Li Li when he heard the words, "How is Hui Ran's matter investigated?" ”

"When Hui Ran left the house that day, she took leave from the housekeeper, saying that she wanted to buy clothes and jewelry. The subordinates sent people to look around along the route after leaving the house, and finally picked up Hui Ran's handkerchief in front of a jewelry shop. Li Li reported the news delivered by his subordinates: "According to the guy in the shop at that time, the person who took Hui Ran away was a black-clothed guard with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the person below painted a portrait according to the appearance of the guy, and now he is patrolling around in Beijing, but Pingzhou is densely populated, whether it is the emperor's relatives or the official's residence, there are countless guards, and it is difficult to investigate." ”

"If it was easy, Yunqing's side should have had a result a long time ago, and it wouldn't have dragged on until now." Mingda didn't continue to drink tea, but got up and walked to the door: "Let's go, go into the palace and see what the situation is on Yunqing's side." ”

"Zhengyun Palace is watching so closely, Your Majesty Gu probably won't let you meet Miss Yun." Li Li speculated.

"You have to give it a try to find out, didn't Your Majesty also let Ah Si go to see her before?" Mingda said optimistically: "This king sees that His Majesty has made progress, and he will no longer be as arbitrary as before." ”

Li Li glanced at His Royal Highness, who was swearing, and swallowed the advice he wanted to say back into his stomach.

……

Yun Qing personally interrogated the four palace people.

Among the four palace people, there are three eunuchs and one palace maid, and the palace maid is petite, which is slightly less likely than the other three.

Yun Qing interrogated the palace maid first.

Yun Qing glanced at the delicate and timid little girl opposite and asked, "What were you doing around last night?" ”

"At that time, the slaves and maids were already asleep, but at night they suddenly had a stomach upset and ran to the latrine."

"How long have you been out?"

"About half an hour."

Yun Qing frowned: "It takes so long to go to the toilet?" ”

The little palace maid said embarrassedly: "The slave maid ate two rotten pears last night, and she pulled harder, and sometimes her front feet came out of the latrine, and she thought about it again after walking a few steps." ”

Yunqing: "......"

The possibility of this confession was unknown, and Yun Qing carefully interrogated her about some details, and then asked the guards to take people down to guard.

Wang Jin said from the side: "The servant asked people to check, and indeed someone saw this palace maid come out when they passed by the toilet." ”

"Hmm." Yun Qing nodded and called the next eunuch in.

The questions of the interrogation were similar, the reason why this eunuch had gone out last night was that he was hungry and went out to find something to eat, he claimed to know Chef Lin in the imperial study, and the two of them also drank a little wine in the kitchen at night.

Wang Jin sent someone to inquire, and Chef Lin proved the eunuch's confession.

The reasons why the next two eunuchs went out in the middle of the night were also strange, one was homesick and cried for a while at night, and no one could prove the truth of what he said, and the other was to wet the bed in the middle of the night and go out to wash his pants.

Yunqing: "......"

None of the latter two witnesses could confirm their words, but Yun Qing had no doubts about these two.

Wang Jin was very surprised when he learned of Yun Qing's thoughts and asked her why.

"The reason is also very simple, when a murderer kills, he will definitely find a way to design the cause and effect, and think of a statement without doubt and witnesses who can testify, but these two people must not be prepared, and they do not have the temperament of a killer."

"That female Shangshu thinks, who among these four people is the one with the most killer temperament?"

Yun Qing's fingertips tapped his chin lightly, and gave an answer that surprised Wang Jin: "That palace maid." ”
