Feng Qing paused wildly, nodded and said: "Sanssouci Gate is now the focus of the imperial court, I don't want to have anything to do with them, I still want to live a few more years." ”

Mu Liancheng thought to himself, no matter what, as long as this girl no longer interacts with Jiang Mingche, everything will be much simpler.

Back in the original cell, Feng Qingyan couldn't help but sigh, at least she could breathe fresh air when she was on the run, but she couldn't even see the sun when she stayed here, and suddenly she wondered why she wanted to come back.

"If you endure for two more days, I will soon find out the real culprit." Mu Liancheng said with relief.

Feng asked excitedly, "Really?" Have you found out who is the real culprit? ”

"Almost, it's just that there is no tangible evidence in hand yet, but you don't have to worry about it, just stay and leave everything to me." Mu Liancheng gave her a firm answer.

At this time, Dayou hurriedly ran over, his expression showing anxiety.

"Your Highness, it's not good, Wang Xiong was killed an hour ago!"

"What?" Mu Liancheng was shocked, and anger appeared in his phoenix eyes, "Didn't you tell you to leave two people to guard?" How can he still be allowed to die? ”

Dayou looked ashamed: "Two of his subordinates were also killed, and they were poisoned." ”

Looking at their expressions, he knew that this matter was not trivial, and Feng Qingyan also guessed that it was because he was busy looking for himself, which caused an accident to happen due to the lack of manpower here, so he hurriedly asked, "Who is Wang Xiong?" ”

"Wang Xiong is ......" Dayou wanted to answer, but was cut off by Mu Liancheng: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to ask, take a rest for two days, I'll go." ”

"You ......" Feng was still about to ask, and the two left without looking back.

As a result, she felt more and more guilty in her heart, and she didn't feel at ease all day.

Wang Xiong was originally the only witness to testify against Mu Beituo, and he was also the only bargaining chip in Mu Liancheng's hand to bring down Mu Beituo, but now that he is dead, Mu Liancheng's previous efforts are equivalent to being in vain, and annoyance is inevitable.

But annoyance is annoyance, the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to change it, and there is something more important to do now, that is, to lead the real murderer of the queen.

"Is there any movement on Biyun's side these days?"

Dayou shook his head and said: "No, she has always been in the main hall, guarding the spirit of the queen, and she has hardly left." ”

After thinking for a while, Mu Liancheng paused and said: "When I released the news, I said that Mei'er still refused to admit her guilt after being tortured, and insisted that she suddenly remembered that morning, she saw an earring on the ground in the dormitory that did not belong to the queen, and insisted that it belonged to the murderer, and asked to re-search the scene." ”

Dayou knew that he was trying to lure the snake out of the hole, but ......

"But Your Highness, in fact, the murderer didn't lose her earrings, how could she take the bait?"

Mu Liancheng frowned and said, "Isn't it enough to send someone to her room to steal one?" People who have done bad things have ghosts in their hearts, and when their hearts are weak, they don't have time to think about it. ”

Even if Biyun was really calm enough to suspect that this matter was fraudulent, when he found out that his earrings were really lost, he would panic, and it was impossible to let such important evidence remain at the scene.

Therefore, Mu Liancheng is sure that Biyun will definitely take the bait.

Under the arrangement of the second tour of the big tour, the news spread quickly, and there was really movement that night.

Late at night, the queen's bedroom was pitch black and eerily quiet.

A slender black figure gently pushed open the door of the temple and crept in.

She closed the door of the temple first, then took out the fire fold, and began to search back and forth in the house.

However, after carefully searching twice and crawling under the bed to look at it, he still found nothing, so he slapped the table in annoyance.

Suddenly, another dark shadow jumped down from the beam, drew his sword, and stabbed at her.

She was taken aback by surprise, and hurriedly dodged left and right, picked up the round stool and smashed it, but the opponent was too agile and threw two darts while dodging.

"Wow" twice, and the darts landed on the coffee table she was lifting.

She was about to escape through the window when the door of the temple was kicked open and a group of people broke in.

The light of the lantern illuminates the dormitory, revealing two men dressed in black.

The black-clothed man with the long sword in his hand immediately took off his scarf, it was Da You, he walked towards Mu Liancheng, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, this person's martial arts are not weak. ”

Mu Liancheng bowed slightly, stepped forward in two steps, and took out an emerald earring.

"You're looking for this, Biyun?"

The other party's eyes showed a look of panic, and he took two steps back, finally removed his veil, and knelt on his knees.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please listen to the slave maid's explanation!"

"Explain what? Explain how you killed the queen and blamed Feng for being frivolous? Mu Liancheng's gaze was sharper than the blade, making Biyun's hairs stand on end as soon as he touched it.

"Your Highness, the slave maid did not kill the queen, the slave maid was wronged!"

Mu Liancheng threw the earrings in front of Biyun, looked at her condescendingly, and said sharply: "Is this your earring?" ”

"Yes ......" is up to now, and it is not okay not to admit it.

"You fell here on the day you killed the queen!" Mu Liancheng said this in an affirmative tone.

Biyun shook his head again and again: "No, no, the slave maid hasn't worn this pair of earrings for a long time, but today I found out that it was gone, and I heard the palace people whispering in private, saying that Mei'er confessed that there was a jade earring in the queen's bedroom, and the slave and maid were worried that someone would frame them, so they ventured to find it, and the slave and maid were innocent!" ”

"Innocence?" Mu Liancheng snorted coldly, "Every criminal will cry out for injustice, this palace is not so easy to fool, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, how can you think that the earrings in the dormitory are yours?" ”

"Slave maid ......" Biyun lowered her head and hurriedly said: "In the early morning of the day the queen mother was killed, the slave maid went to the Internal Affairs Mansion, and she didn't leave until Chenshi, the palace people there can testify, the Internal Affairs Mansion will take at least a stick of incense to Yunhua Palace, and the slave and maid can't rush back to commit the crime at all!" Your Highness, please check it out! ”

Mu Liancheng narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Of course ordinary people can't catch up, but it will be very different if you can do light work, and besides, no one met you on the way back to Yunhua Palace that morning, because you came back from walking through the wall with light power." ”

Hearing this, Biyun's body trembled, and she suddenly reacted, it turned out that Fang Cai was testing her martial arts.

His eyes flickered a few times, Biyun gritted his teeth, and continued to shake his head and deny: "The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged!" ”

She thought that as long as she refused to admit it, the other party would have nothing to do with her.

Mu Liancheng said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, Hengzhu now has enough evidence to convict you, as long as the palace hands you over, you can hand it over, and you murder the queen, not only to divide the body of the five horses, but also to connect the three clans, thinking that the queen is in the spirit of the sky, you can be gratified." ”

Hearing this, Biyun sat down on the ground in despair.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly changed his words again: "However, if you confess the instigator behind you, this palace can consider it, intercede for you, and save your life." ”

Biyun raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up with hope.

"Is Your Highness serious?"

Eryou on the side said impatiently: "Your Highness has always been true of all your words, of course it's true, why don't you hurry up and explain?" ”

Mu Liancheng didn't say anything, just waiting for Biyun to think clearly.

After a while, Biyun plucked up his courage and said, "The person who instructed the slave and maid is Lan ...... Ah......h

The words were broken at the most critical moment, and everyone looked at it, but saw a large mouthful of blood spurting out of Biyun's mouth, and then his eyes fell to the ground, and he died with a whimper.

"Who?"

Da You, Eryou and others hurriedly chased out.

Mu Liancheng walked to the side of the corpse, squatted down to take a closer look, and saw that Biyun's white neck had two blood holes the size of a needle's eye, and the skin and flesh around him were already a little black.

Apparently poisoned by the needle.

I didn't expect so many people to be present, and they even let people get their hands on it, and what annoyed him the most was that he didn't even notice it before the person sent the needle.

Biyun's death shows even more that the person behind her is not simple, but in this palace, who has such good martial arts?

Not long after, Dayou and the others returned to the dormitory in frustration.

"Your Highness, your subordinates and others are useless, and they have not been able to catch the thief, please punish Your Highness!"

Mu Liancheng was angry, but the matter had come to this point, and his anger was in vain, and this matter could only be found here for the time being.

"Forget it, bring the corpse and evidence to the criminal department!"

Although he failed to interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes, at least he cleared Feng of the suspicion of frivolity, and it was not in vain to make this toss.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan, who was in the prison, didn't know what was happening in the palace, and he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep because the deadline set by the emperor was approaching.

Although she pretended to be calm and deceived others, she couldn't deceive herself, she was very afraid of death, and she was even more afraid of being unjustly killed.

The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and I writhed on the grass pile, and when I was about to turn over and continue to sleep, I suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Strange, usually at this time, the jailers are napping, not caring about patrolling, why are there footsteps now?

Feng Qing pricked up his ears wildly, and soon heard the sound of unlocking from behind, his heart tightened, and his hairs stood up.

Who is it?

She didn't dare to move, fearing that the other party would find out that she was still awake, and the situation would be even more unfavorable.

The slight footsteps got closer and closer, and Feng Qingfang clenched his fists tightly, almost uncontrollably shivering, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The other party seemed to squat down, grabbed her shoulders and straightened her body, as if to judge whether she was still asleep.

The air was frozen, the surroundings were quiet and terrifying, Feng Qingyan could clearly hear the other party's breathing, and he was terrified to the extreme.

Suddenly, a "boom" sound hit his ears, Feng opened his eyes instinctively, quickly reached out and grabbed the opponent's wrist, and the dagger stopped less than half an inch from his chest.

"Who are you? Why kill me? ”

The other party didn't answer, only stabbed down hard, Feng Qingfang tried his best to resist, but the disparity in strength was too great, and he couldn't support it for a while, turned around as quickly as possible, and sat up suddenly.
