As soon as the palace man's words came out, Lin Yingxue was immediately shocked, and Mingyue, who had always had a good relationship with Mingzhu, immediately took two steps back unsteadily.

"In case it's just a mistake, go check it out first." Lin Yingxue briefly comforted Mingyue, then lifted the hem of her skirt and followed the palace people towards the lake quickly.

When Lin Yingxue took Mingyue to the lake, there were already a lot of palace people around the lake, but most of them just gathered around and pointed and didn't dare to step forward.

"The Queen Mother is here!" The palace people who came over with Lin Yingxue shouted while helping Lin Yingxue get rid of the palace people who were watching.

Lin Yingxue walked through the crowd before she glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, and immediately stopped and turned her head to look at Mingyue beside her.

I saw that Mingyue was stunned as if she was in disbelief, and then tears burst out of her eyes like a flood that burst the embankment, "Pearl!" ”

Mingyue pounced on Mingzhu's corpse, she never thought that a person who was fine during the day would become a corpse at night.

I remember that this morning, Mingzhu was still complaining about Lin Yingxue's partiality and giving her an extra bracelet, but she didn't expect this complaint to become a farewell between their sisters!

"Mingzhu ......" Mingyue cried almost silently.

Lin Yingxue was naturally very sad in her heart, but she had more important things to do than crying.

I saw Lin Yingxue take a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the grief in her heart, and turned her head to ask the palace people who found the body: "When was the body discovered?" Was there anyone else present at the time of discovery? ”

"Hui Niangniang," the palace people heard Lin Yingxue's question, and hurriedly replied: "The body was found half an hour ago, and there was no one around when it was found. ”

"Really?" After hearing this, Lin Yingxue frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but at this time, Mingyue stopped crying, and called her as if surprised: "Niangniang!" ”

Lin Yingxue turned her eyes to Mingyue, only to see Mingyue holding a small strip of cloth in her hand, which she had just found from Mingzhu's hand, and Mingyue grabbed the strip of cloth very tightly, and Mingyue took a lot of effort to break Mingzhu's fingers and take out the strip of cloth.

Lin Yingxue took the strip of cloth from Mingyue's hand, and carefully examined Mingzhu's body, only to see that there were clear pinching marks on Mingzhu's neck, and there were some slight abrasions on her palms and knees......

All of the above is enough to prove that Mingzhu did not die because of an accident.

And what's even more infuriating is that Mingzhu also has a rope tied around her waist, but the bottom of the rope is empty.

Lin Yingxue guessed that the person who killed Mingzhu should have wanted to sink Mingzhu's body, but for some reason, the stone tied to Mingzhu's body accidentally fell off, which caused Mingzhu's body to float from the lake.

Lin Yingxue clenched her fists, and through the swelling of the corpse, she estimated that Mingzhu should have been killed in the morning, so she couldn't help but say coldly: "Check!" Go to the palace to find out who Mingzhu has seen in the morning, and bring them to the palace one by one for interrogation! ”

"Ahh Yang Zhong, who was far away in King Jing's Mansion, suddenly sneezed.

Seeing this, Lin Yingxin hurriedly hugged the person tighter, "Zhong'er, what's wrong with you, are you scared?" Don't be afraid, with the godmother here, no one can hurt you! ”

Lin Yingxin only has one daughter under her knees, Murong Hui, and she has also beaten her age over the years, so she has long recognized Yang Zhong as her godson and raised her under her knees as if she were her own son.

Seeing Lin Yingxin holding Yang Zhong in his arms like a child of a few years old, King Jing on the side couldn't help but say a little angrily: "Enough, according to me, while Yingxue hasn't found out about this yet, hurry up and take Zhong'er to the palace to make amends, otherwise when the incident happens in the east window, with Yingxue's temper, Zhong'er won't end up well!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" However, after Lin Yingxin listened to King Jing's words, she glared at King Jing on the spot, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's just that a palace maid died, how big of a deal can it be?" And we Zhong'er are still victims of this! ”

Seeing Zhong'er scared like this, he wasn't frightened by Lin Yingxue's obscenity. If Zhong'er has any three strengths and two shortcomings, I will fight hard with her Lin Yingxue! ”

Lin Yingxin is good in other things, but in matters related to Yang Zhong, he is always unreasonable, King Jing said it, and he lost his temper, in short, it didn't work.

"Alas, just wait and see, you are so used to Zhong'er, sooner or later something will happen!" After King Jing finished speaking bitterly, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

But Lin Yingxin didn't seem to hear it, and still hugged Yang Zhong tightly and didn't let go.

"Come, Zhong'er, let's have something to eat......"

Just when Lin Yingxin felt that Yang Zhong had almost been appeased, the door outside was suddenly kicked open.

Lin Yingxin was taken aback, and looked up at the door with some annoyance, but when she saw that the person who kicked in the door just now was actually Lin Yingxue, the look on her face suddenly became panicked.

"Yingxue, why did you come here at this time......" has reached this point, Lin Yingxin is still pretending that nothing has happened.

And Lin Yingxue naturally didn't answer, but just set her eyes on Yang Zhong in Lin Ying's arms.

"Did you kill Mingzhu?" Lin Yingxue didn't have any roundabouts, and asked directly.

And Yang Zhong was already panicking because he had killed Mingzhu by mistake, but at this time, seeing Lin Yingxue's frosty face and murderous appearance, he suddenly snorted, and hid behind Lin Yingxin without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lin Yingxin had no choice but to appease Yang Zhong while perfunctory Lin Yingxue, "Yingxue, what are you talking about, Zhong'er has been in the fiefdom for so long, and he has already reformed himself, and he will never do such a thing!" ”

But since Lin Yingxue can find this, she naturally has a 100% certainty in her heart, how could she be so easily dismissed by Lin Yingxin's words?

I saw her raise her hand, pick up the piece of cloth that was buckled from Mingzhu's hand, and asked coldly, "Is it?" The palace wanted to ask, where did this strip of cloth come from, and why was it in the hands of the dead palace maid in the palace? ”

Lin Yingxin didn't have much of a reaction when she saw the strip of cloth

Yes, Yang Zhong, who was hiding behind her, involuntarily looked down at his sleeve - there was indeed a piece missing from it!

The physical evidence is here, and it's useless for him to say anything now.

"Save me, godmother save me!" Although Yang Zhong is used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, he is a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard.

He saw that Lin Yingxue was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to make Lin Yingxue unhappy, but he didn't dare to really annoy Lin Yingxue, otherwise he wouldn't have had such a big reaction after killing Mingzhu by mistake.

Looking at Yang Zhong with a panicked face, Lin Yingxin felt distressed for a while, patted the back of Yang Zhong's hand, changed his attitude, turned his head and said good things to Lin Yingxue, "Yingxue, how can you say that we are also sisters, and Zhong'er is my adopted son." ”

"It's wrong for him this time, but it's just a palace maid, and it's not a big deal...... I hope you don't remember the villain, I, who is a sister, will compensate you in this generation of Zhong'er......"

Lin Yingxin thought that her apology was already a great concession for her, but she didn't expect Lin Yingxue to only show a sneer after hearing it.

"Eldest sister, Ying Xue remembers that the eldest sister kept saying that she wanted to cut off relations with Ying Xue before. Moreover, Mingzhu is the confidant of Bengong's side, and Bengong has always treated them like sisters. ”

"Now that the eldest sister's righteous son has killed her with his own hands, does the eldest sister think that this matter can be solved with just one word of apology?" Even though Lin Yingxue had tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, the gurgling chills still kept coming out of her.

Lin Yingxin saw that Lin Yingxue was soft and hard, so she was also angry in her heart, "It's just a palace maid, what else do you want, is it difficult to let Zhong'er take my life to my life?" ”

"Unfortunately, Yingxue has this intention!" After Lin Yingxue finished receiving this sentence, she didn't wait for Lin Yingxin to speak again, she turned her head and motioned for Mingyue and Mingxiu behind her to come forward.

"Princess Jing and her righteous son have a deep relationship, the palace is afraid that if they start to move for a while, Princess Jing will not be able to stand it, Mingyue and Mingxiu, the two of you go forward to support Princess Jing well, don't let Princess Jing bump it."

"Yes!" Mingyue and Mingxiu had already been unable to hold it back on the side, but as soon as Lin Yingxue's voice fell at this time, the two of them hurriedly rushed forward to restrain Lin Yingxin from left to right.

And Lin Yingxin naturally didn't expect Lin Yingxue to really dare to do anything to her, she was surprised at the same time, and she also began to struggle violently, "Presumptuous!" I'm Princess Jing, you two little maidservants, you dare to be disrespectful to me, why don't you let go of this princess quickly! ”

Lin Yingxin shouted at the top of his voice, and his words and deeds did not have the elegance that a palace nobleman should have.

However, Lin Yingxue didn't care what Lin Yingxin's reaction was, she just slowly walked to Yang Zhong, who was trembling on the side, and reached out and took out the dagger she had prepared from her sleeve.

The shining blade shook Yang Zhong a little dizzy, and while he involuntarily fell backwards, he looked at Lin Yingxin with a panicked face, and said in fear: "Godmother save me, godmother save me!" ”

But Lin Yingxin was already at this time

If you are too busy to take care of yourself, how can you have the energy to save Yang Zhong again?

"None of you are allowed to touch Zhong'er, no one is allowed to touch Zhong'er!" Lin Yingxin screamed hoarsely on the side, but all this was in vain.

Lin Yingxue just glanced at her, and the guards she brought immediately rushed towards Yang Zhong.

Seeing this, Yang Zhong was extremely frightened, and ran into the backyard in a panic, and Lin Yingxue and the other guards naturally followed closely when they saw this.

"You let go of this princess, let go of this princess......" Lin Yingxin's hysterical voice was still resounding behind him, but as Lin Yingxue walked more and more to the backyard, the voice became smaller and smaller.
