Chapter 34: The Unpeaceful Chinese New Year's Eve
"Princess, there are too many people making gifts recently, I don't know how lively this embroidered pavilion is, and even several princesses have to line up over there to receive things."
Xiao Liyue didn't expect it to be so lively, "Didn't we send someone over before dawn in the morning?" ”
"Princess," said the servant, when the servant girl returned, "Princess, the golden thread you asked for is gone." ”
"None?" Xiao Liyue thought that the Embroidery Pavilion has prepared a lot of these things all year round, and there are basically no people to go to it, but it has only been two days, and there is no more? "I'll go over and see for myself."
Shuang'er was still a little worried, "Princess, why don't you go, even if there is no gold thread, you can replace it with other silk." ”
Xiao Liyue is unwilling, if she wants to give Xiao Chumad something, she naturally wants the best.
When I came to the embroidery pavilion, there were not only many masters waiting there, but also many slaves and maids.
There were also quite a few people who even quarreled there, "Obviously, our princess came first." ”
"Who's in front, don't you have eyes yet?"
"You cut the line."
Xiao Liyue took a lot of effort to squeeze in, and before she could speak to the grandmother, she was dragged out with one hand.
"Xiao Liyue, everyone is waiting here, why did you still run to the front alone?"
"Princess Luo, it's really a coincidence, I can meet you everywhere, why did you come here to give people gifts?"
Luo Yiyi naturally wouldn't take the initiative to tell her and give it to Xiao Chumad.
"It's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and I'm here as a guest, so of course the gifts must be prepared."
"That's right, Princess Luo still has some ideas," Xiao Liyue didn't want to talk nonsense with her, stretched her neck and looked ahead, this has to go on and on, and when it comes to herself, there is really nothing, "What are you going to take?" ”
"Gold thread."
Xiao Liyue didn't care too much, and said that she came for the golden thread.
She waited there impatiently, so she went back first.
Then I learned that all the gold threads were taken away by Luo Yiyi.
"How can this be reasonable, she has already taken it all, why did she appear in the Embroidery Pavilion?"
Shuang'er said, "Princess, could it be that the princess still wants to take other things?" ”
Xiao Liyue didn't think it was such a coincidence, but she didn't think much about it, and asked Shuang'er to get some silk.
Chinese New Year's Eve.
News came from the palace that an official lady had been killed.
The entire palace suddenly boiled, and everyone speculated about who did it.
Xiao Chufang also felt that this thing was strange, when it was not good to do it, why did he do it on Chinese New Year's Eve.
And now that the banquet has not started, isn't this deliberately making people panic?
"Changfeng, what clues have you investigated?"
"Back to Your Highness, there is no trace of the person who died behind the rockery."
Xiao Chu went to the emperor's bedroom to see what he had to say on this matter.
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Chu went crazy, these people were already waiting there.
The only one who came in with him was Xiao Liyue.
"Brother Prince, have you heard? Dead people, how can such a good person suddenly die a dead person? ”
"Yue'er doesn't need to worry, I believe that my father will definitely investigate the matter clearly."
Xiao Liyue didn't care about other people, she was only worried about Xiao Chumad.
"Brother Prince, you'll be fine, right?"
Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment, no one had ever cared so much about him.
"It's okay, let's go in first."
When they entered, all eyes were on them.
Especially Empress Lin, she hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the two of them are strange, and they are still here at this time, so this matter must have something to do with them." ”
Xiao Liyue knew that Empress Lin wanted to make trouble for herself again, and her nose moved.
Then he walked in front of Queen Lin, "I've seen the Queen Mother," got up, "Queen Mother, why did I smell a strange smell here when I came in." ”
"What does it smell like?" Empress Lin took two steps back, "Xiao Liyue, don't come nonsense. ”
"The smell of lies, Queen Mother, I have always been in the Yuexi Pavilion, and the minions around me can testify to this matter, so I don't understand why the Queen Mother has no evidence at all, so she said such things inexplicably."
Empress Lin scolded: "Xiao Liyue, you are so bold, you dare to speak like this to this palace? ”
"The queen mother forgives the sin, if Yue'er has a place to contradict you, I hope the queen mother will punish you, but what Yue'er has not done, Yue'er will never admit it," Xiao Liyue looked at the emperor again, "My father is a generation of Ming Jun, and I must know that what Yue'er said is true." ”
Empress Lin wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor.
"Queen, Yue'er is right, there is no evidence now, her Yuexi Pavilion is a little far away from here, and she usually doesn't like to care about things in the palace, so it's normal to be slower than others."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Father is wise."
Xiao Chuyan also asked, "Father, what's going on?" Why would an official lady still die in the palace? ”
The emperor sighed, "It seems that there are still people who take advantage of the chaos on Chinese New Year's Eve and want to cause trouble here, the emperor, you are the crown prince, and the matter will be investigated by you." ”
"Is there anyone at the rockery?"
"The person who found the body is here, and the emperor will ask directly if there is anything."
"Thank you for your trust," Xiao Chufang looked at the minion, "When did you find the body?" ”
The minion knelt on the ground, still trembling.
"Your Highness, this morning the slave was going to go to the imperial dining room, but when I passed by the rockery, I saw a person lying there, and when the slave approached, I found that she had no breath, as for what someone did, the slave didn't know."
At this time, another minion stood up, "The minion saw Feng Sujing appear behind the rockery in the morning, and his face was a little strange, presumably this matter had something to do with him." ”
Listening to the name of Feng Sujing, everyone began to talk again.
"This Feng Sujing is a hostage of Dongyang Kingdom, how can he still appear there, generally there is no summons from the emperor, or some special circumstances, he can only stay in his palace, is it said that it is specifically for killing?"
"He has been in our country for the past two years, and he is quite kind, but there are very few people who have intersections with him, and Miss Guan has nothing to do with him, why do you want to kill her?"
"Maybe the people of Dongyang Kingdom just want to kill people, there is no reason, and they may want to escape, but they happened to be bumped into by someone, and in order to hide the facts, they can only kill people."
Xiao Xueqing suddenly stood up, "Don't talk nonsense, how could Feng Sujing kill someone, he has bad legs and feet, he sits in a wheelchair all the year round, even if he has that heart, he doesn't have that ability." ”
One of them retorted, "Third princess, you have a lot of contacts with Feng Sujing, and you will stand up and help him talk at this time, you won't be with him." ”
"Nonsense, how can this princess kill someone, you don't want to spew blood."
Empress Lin motioned to her again, "Qing'er, step aside." ”
"Queen Mother, Feng Sujing will definitely not kill anyone, and I know a little bit about him."
"Third sister, someone has seen it, Feng Sujing is not here at this time, is this matter related to him, call him over and ask?"
Xiao Xueqing said: "Call it, come to someone, spread the wind and the scenery." ”
She was still muttering there, and even suspected that someone had framed Feng Sujing for this matter.
Xiao Liyue could see that Xiao Xueqing was very concerned about Feng Sujing, and she probably liked others.
"Whether it has anything to do with Fengsujing will be known in a while, everyone, I also hope that you don't blame others for the time being."
Xiao Chumad also said, his eyes also glanced at Xiao Liyue, the girl bit her fingers, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The eyes were still on the corpse, and the other women present were reluctant to take another look.
She still looked interested.
Intuition told Xiao Chufang that Xiao Liyue might have discovered something.
He walked towards Xiao Liyue, "Yue'er, what do you have to say?" ”
Xiao Liyue looked at the corpse, "Looking at this blood, it should have passed away an hour ago, but why did the corpse take so long to be found behind the rockery?" ”
When Xiao Xueqing heard this, she hurriedly said, "Xiao Liyue, how do you know so clearly, should this matter have something to do with you?" I knew that people like you would never do anything good. ”
"Sister, you really misunderstood me, I don't know this girl, why did you kill her?"
"Maybe you're a demon who kills people without blinking?" Xiao Xueqing wanted to blame everything on Xiao Liyue and make excuses for Feng Sujing.
Xiao Liyue didn't get angry, "My sister said this, I also think it's a little strange, why are you still in such a hurry to put things on my body, could it be that my sister wants to blame others?" ”
"Xiao Liyue, don't go too far!"
"That's enough," Xiao Chu scolded wildly, "Father is still here, you are not ashamed," after speaking, he said to Xiao Xueqing: "Qing'er, you are a sister, how can you still wronged your sister, no matter who the matter is related to, when Feng Sujing comes, this palace will naturally investigate." ”
Xiao Xueqing knew that Xiao Chumad was defending her, and she didn't want to say anything more.
Feng Sujing was pushed in, and everyone looked at him.
"I've seen the emperor, the queen." Feng Sujing looked at the corpse, "I don't know what this is for?" ”
"Feng Sujing, where did you go this morning?"
"I've just been wandering around the Imperial Garden for a while, even if I want to go to other places with my legs, I'm afraid I won't be able to go, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means by this?"
Xiao Chumad said: "This girl was killed, and the body appeared behind the rockery, and someone saw you go to the rockery today, do you know?" ”
Feng Sujing understood that these people were doubting themselves now.
"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, I did go there, but I was only passing by, and I didn't notice that there were corpses, there were still a lot of minions and minions walking there at that time, and I didn't pay much attention to it."
"It's all this time, you still don't want to admit it, Feng Sujing, you are a hostage of Dongyang Kingdom here, don't you want to escape?" The crowd didn't know who said it.
