Chapter 168: Destruction of Evidence
Unexpectedly, she heard not only the voice of the eldest princess, but also the voice of Nan Yulin, and the two seemed to be talking. Shen Yuemei, who was hiding in the shadows, pricked up her ears and listened to the conversation between the two. "Now that Su Fengche has begun to suspect it, and today morning he said that he suspected that the prince was framed, and also proposed to search the palace to find the real murderer."
"Search, search the palace?" The eldest princess was shocked, she didn't expect this Su Fengche to jump out at this time and destroy the good things of the two of them. "So, what do we do next?"
Nan Yulin hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of coldness, "Hmph! What else can be done, of course, is disposed of. The eldest princess was shocked and said, "Are you crazy?" This Su Fengche suspected in public that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was framed in the court today, if you deal with him now, aren't you afraid of being suspected? ”
Seeing her so flustered, Nan Yulin said calmly, "What are you in a hurry about, I didn't say that I was going to deal with Su Fengche, we just need to give the most important person around him to ......" Saying that, Nan Yulin made a throat-slitting gesture. The eldest princess understood what he meant, "Then what's next, what are you going to do?" ”
"Our next step is to kill Nangong Ye and Shen Yuemei!" Nan Yulin said firmly. Hearing the decision of the two, Shen Yuemei was shocked and accidentally made a sound, attracting Nan Yulin's attention, he quickly turned his head to look at Shen Yuemei, his eyes were fierce, "Who is there?!" Shen Yuemei knew that she had just exclaimed, and she quickly reached out to cover her mouth, and then tried to escape from here as soon as possible without being discovered.
Shen Yuemei hid in the dark, secretly observing Nan Yulin's actions. Seeing that his footsteps were approaching her step by step, Shen Yuemei's heart was beating nervously, and just when she felt that she was about to be discovered, she inadvertently found that a window was open not far behind her, so Shen Yuemei took advantage of Nan Yulin's inattention, and quickly jumped out of the window and escaped.
At this time, the eldest princess didn't notice anything unusual, and looked at Nan Yulin's actions and asked softly with some puzzlement, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”
Nan Yulin turned around and stretched out his hand to signal her not to speak, and the eldest princess also noticed something strange and cooperated and stopped talking. At this time, Nan Yulin took advantage of this opportunity, and a quick step forward to catch the eavesdropper did not expect to go empty, when he looked up and found that a window in front of him was open, he knew that he had escaped from the window.
By the time he reacted and chased out, Shen Yuemei had already disappeared. Nan Yulin returned to the eldest princess again. When the eldest princess saw him frowning, she knew that something was wrong. Hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Nan Yulin frowned and told her what had just happened, saying, "Just now when we were talking, I heard some movement in the room, and by the time I chased after him, the person had disappeared. ”
The eldest princess sat down in her seat in shock, and it took a while for her to come to her senses, only to see her slowly raise her head, and her eyes were full of panic and asked, "Then what should we do, will we be discovered?" ”
The two felt that something was wrong, and they were worried that the two of them would be known by the emperor, so they wanted to speed up and find out the person who was eavesdropping tonight.
At this time, the eldest princess's heart was extremely afraid, he didn't want people to know that the matter of framing the prince was planned by Nan Yulin, of course he knew it, and he also helped to hide it, if the emperor knew about it, it would be the crime of bullying the king!
But what she didn't expect was that someone would sneak into his room. The eldest princess sat on her seat, her hands clutching her dress tightly, her brows furrowed, and she panicked.
At this time, Nan Yulin was very calm. He stood aside and slowly walked two steps back and forth in front of the eldest princess. Then he stopped in front of the eldest princess. After a while, he looked up. Facing the eldest princess's panicked face, he said, "I have a way." ”
When the eldest princess heard this, she quickly stood up. Ask, "What do you think of?" Nan Yulin smiled mysteriously and whispered. The eldest princess whispered a plan in her ear. After the eldest princess heard his plan, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The next morning, "Ahhhh The eldest princess's screams alarmed everyone in the palace, "Eldest princess, what happened?" ”
The eldest princess's personal servant heard her screams and hurried in. I saw that the eldest princess was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, and the jewelry on the table was disturbed and thrown on the ground and dresser at random. At this time, the eldest princess waved her hand anxiously and angrily, knocking over all the jewelry on the table, including the bronze mirror.
"Come on, this princess's jewelry is missing, it was given to me by my father on my birthday! Hurry up and give me a good order to investigate who stole my jewelry! ”
After she finished speaking, the maidservant girl hurried out, and the maidservant walked on the front foot, and the eldest princess smashed things angrily in the room on the back foot. was so frightened that the surrounding palace maids didn't dare to make a sound.
Soon the story of the theft of the eldest princess's mansion spread to the emperor, and at this time the princess was reporting the matter to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this morning, the eldest princess's mansion was stolen, and what you lost was a piece of jewelry that you gave her on her birthday...... Your Majesty, what do you think ......? ”
When the emperor heard this, he was furious, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, and all the twists and turns on the table were almost dropped to the ground by the emperor's beat. "You go and arrange for some people to investigate this matter properly, and if you find anything suspicious, report it to me immediately." The father-in-law responded, and then went out of the imperial study and explained the matter.
When the people sent by the emperor searched the various palaces of the palace, they found that only Shen Yuemei was not in their room at this time, and they immediately reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor frowned, "Go, bring her to me, I will interrogate her personally." ”
Shen Yuemei, who had just returned to her room, was stopped by someone sent by the emperor, and she pretended not to understand and asked her father-in-law in front of her, "Father-in-law, what does this mean?" ”
The father-in-law cleared his throat and said in a unique voice, "The miscellaneous family is just waiting for Mrs. Su here on the orders of the emperor, and Mrs. Su wants to see you, please!" As he spoke, his father-in-law stretched out his hand and motioned for Shen Yuemei to follow him to see the emperor.
Shen Yuemei smiled slightly, and then followed her father-in-law to the imperial study. "Your Majesty, someone brought it." After the father-in-law finished speaking, he withdrew from the imperial study,
"The people's daughter knocks to see the emperor!" The emperor raised his hand and motioned for her to get up. Shen Yuemei got up and waited for the emperor to speak.
"Did you know that the eldest princess's mansion was burglarized this morning?" The emperor raised his head and looked at her, and Shen Yuemei nodded.
The emperor continued, "When I ordered someone to investigate in the morning, I found that you were not in my room, are you the thief who sneaked into the eldest princess's mansion last night?" ”
Shen Yuemei knew that she couldn't hide it from the emperor, so she lied that she and I could also sleepwalk.
The emperor frowned, looked at Shen Yuemei suspiciously, and saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so he waved his hand irritably, "Stand down." ”
"The people's daughter retires......" Shen Yuemei breathed a sigh of relief when she came out of the imperial study, she didn't expect that the eldest princess and Nan Yulin would lie that the mansion had been stolen in order to find out who had eavesdropped last night, and also let the emperor intervene.
It can be seen that the two of them have begun to act to get rid of themselves, Shen Yuemei is not like waiting to die, after coming out of the imperial study, she returned to her palace, and then called the more reliable palace maid around her, "You go and invite the queen, just say that I have something important to discuss with her, remember that others have found out." ”
The palace maid wrote down what Shen Yuemei said, and then went to the queen's palace and said it in front of the queen.
The queen thought that Shen Yuemei had thought of some way to save Nangong Ye, so she brought her personal slave to Shen Yuemei's palace.
"What did you call me for? Did you think of any way to save the prince? The queen walked into the hall and sat down in the high hall.
Shen Yuemei stood in front of her and told the queen everything about last night. The queen was shocked when she heard this, but although she didn't like Nan Yulin very much, she even hated him very much. However, the eldest princess was her daughter after all, and she wanted to protect the eldest princess, so she asked, "What evidence did you find?" ”
Shen Yuemei took out a packet of medicinal powder from her cuff and handed it to the queen, and the queen took it and directly destroyed the only incriminating evidence.
"Queen! You! Shen Yuemei was surprised and helpless, she thought that the queen might just want to protect her daughter.
"Mrs. Su, there is no evidence to prove that what you said is true at the moment, so I will treat today's incident as if it never happened." After saying that, the queen left with the slave maid.
Shen Yuemei was helpless, she couldn't find anything to convict her now, and it became more difficult to save Nangong Ye.
Because the only evidence was destroyed, there was no way to prove that this matter had something to do with the eldest princess. After the queen left, Shen Yuemei was a little helpless, and she was even more emotional in her heart.
In the evening, Su Fengche came back and saw Shen Yuemei sitting on a chair in the hall with some loss, and she didn't seem to be in a very good mood, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yuemei?" What's wrong? I heard about last night's incident, are you okay? Have they found out? ”
Shen Yuemei looked up at Su Fengche, who was in the dust, and said, "Last night, I sneaked into the eldest princess's room to look for evidence, but I unexpectedly found that Nan Yulin and the eldest princess were talking secretly. So I hid aside, but I didn't realize that the two of them were discussing to kill me and the prince. I was startled and accidentally made a sound, and was discovered by Nan Yulin, but fortunately, I saw that the window of the eldest princess's room had nothing to do with me jumping out of the window and escaped. ”
Seeing this, Su Fengche looked at her whole body anxiously and asked, "Are you injured?" ”
