Chapter 18 Planting Blame
Han Jinxiu said again: "Your Majesty, Concubine De Niangniang, Zicui did not commit suicide in fear of crime, but was strangled to death, please Your Majesty and Niangniang to investigate!" It wasn't her tone of questioning, but her determination.
His Majesty's eyes deepened: "Han, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, your son knows. Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, please give your son a chance to finish. "Han Jinxiu cut the railway.
Concubine Yang De helped: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that she can give the crown princess a chance to talk about it." "If Zicui didn't commit suicide in fear of sin, then she shouldn't accept His Majesty's punishment, she knows better than anyone that she didn't set up a situation to frame the prince at all, and she shouldn't be punished at all. On the contrary, she was also very wronged, and it was clear that someone wanted to blame her, guide the troubles to her side, and make His Majesty disgusted with her.
However, in the face of conclusive evidence, in order not to disgust His Majesty, Concubine Yang Defei could only trust and accept His Majesty's punishment. Now, Han Jinxiu stands up, she naturally has to help speak, if she can clear her suspicion, it is naturally a happy event, and Han Jinxiu's behavior has been too strange recently, she has to continue to observe and observe.
His Majesty's face sank slightly, and a cold aura came to his face: "Okay, Han, you can tell me to hear it."
Han Jinxiu slowly got up and said respectfully: "Yes." Your Majesty and Niangniang, please see the marks on Zicui's neck, after the murderer strangled Zicui with a rope, there will be strangulation marks on Zicui's neck, and then disguised as her to hang herself, and then there will be new strangulation marks on Zicui's neck, and it is almost impossible for these two strangulation marks to coincide; In addition, if Zicui is strangled to death, it is basically attacked from behind, and it will generally be applied parallel to the ground, so the strangulation marks are straight; In the case of hanging, it is perpendicular to the ground, and the strangulation marks will be oblique upward; If you strangle to death, it is likely to go around the neck one or more times, so there will be strangulation marks on the back of the neck; If you hang yourself, focus on your throat, so there will be no strangulation marks on the back of your neck; In the end, the blood in Zicui's body did not circulate, causing the color of the marks to be different.
In addition, Erchen also wanted to ask Lin Shizi if he checked this letter with Zicui's usual letter, and the handwriting on it was the same? His eyes slowly looked towards Lin Botao.
In an instant, Lin Botao replied: "Back to the crown princess, Weichen was negligent." The implication is that there is no comparison of the handwriting, and it is not certain whether it is Zicui's handwriting.
As soon as she said this, Concubine Yang suddenly realized that she was almost about to be charged with the crime of others.
Soon, Zicui's usual handwriting was sent by Yang Defei's order, Lin Botao and Han Jinxiu compared, and sure enough, the letter on the suicide note was not Zicui's usual handwriting, so it proved that Han Jinxiu was right.
I only heard her continue: "Your Majesty, from the above points, Erchen dares to conclude that someone wants to use the name of Zicui to blame Concubine De Niangniang, it can be seen that the villain is ruthless, and even the prince and Concubine De can plot, please Your Majesty must find out the truth and give the prince and Concubine De a justice." ”
She signaled to Lin Botao, he was very cooperative, which was also a strange thing for Lin Botao, he was careless, but he was discovered by the princess Han and a female streamer. He sorted out his emotions, quickly walked to Zicui's side, and moved her straight, so that His Majesty and Concubine Yang Defei could see Zicui's neck more clearly, there were indeed two strangulation marks, a straight strangulation mark, a slanted upward strangulation mark, and a strangulation mark on the back of the neck. The huge waves rolled in Lin Botao's heart, and he had some respect for Han Jinxiu.
Seeing this, Concubine Yang De choked up and said: "God is pitiful, Your Majesty, what the crown princess said is not wrong at all, this is someone who wants to bring disaster to the east and implicate the concubine, please Your Majesty to investigate." ”
His Majesty suddenly darkened his face and asked, "How do I know that it wasn't you who murdered Zicui?" ”
Yang Defei: "......"
Han Jinxiu smiled: "Your Majesty, the retainer dares to be sure, this matter has nothing to do with Concubine De, she was framed!" ”
With such determination, His Majesty frowned and asked, "How are you determined?" Even he now suspects that Concubine Yang Defei directed and acted herself, what does this Han Jinxiu want?
Taking a deep breath, Han Jinxiu said softly: "If Erchen is Concubine De's mother, if he really wants to murder the prince, it shouldn't be at this time." First of all, His Majesty is upright and in his prime, His Royal Highness King Yu is quite favored by His Majesty, and Yang Shoufu, the father of Concubine De, is even more loyal to the court and His Majesty, and his sons believe that they will never do such a thing. In addition, if it is really Concubine De Niangniang who is plotting to kill the prince behind her back, she should not use such a clumsy way to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, the only answer is that someone wants to kill two birds with one stone, which not only makes the prince lose his reputation, but also blames Concubine De Niangniang, so that she and His Royal Highness King Yu lose the favor of her father. "Neither humble nor arrogant, I want to dispel His Majesty's doubts.
Lin Botao lowered his eyes and muttered in his heart: This crown princess really dares to say it, and I don't know if she will be punished by His Majesty.
Concubine Yang Defei, who was kneeling beside His Majesty, was just about to speak, but was stopped by Han Jinxiu with his eyes, at this time, Concubine Yang Defei didn't say anything, His Majesty had his own judgment.
His Majesty's gaze became sharp, and he stared at Han Jinxiu: "Then there is a suspect in your heart?" Behind his hands, his right hand played with the jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand.
Han Jinxiu: "......" This kind of question was asked by His Majesty in front of Concubine Yang Defei and Lin Botao, how did she answer? Isn't that to make her a target, and she's not stupid? Moreover, even if she was alone with His Majesty, she would not say anything about King Zhan, she was not stupid enough to be so stupid, as she had just said that the strategy of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred was not advisable.
Intuition told Han Jinxiu that King Zhan must have her handle in his hands, but unfortunately she doesn't know it now, and the two can't turn their faces for the time being.
Taking a deep breath, Han Jinxiu shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, the retainer is stupid and doesn't dare to be suspicious." ”
"What a dull!" His Majesty lifted his eyelids, if the crown princess Han was stupid, then today they would not know that the palace maid Zicui was killed, not hanged.
Indeed, what she just said was right, someone wanted to frame the prince and frame Concubine Yang De. Although this matter is not directly related to Concubine Yang De, but the palace maid in her bedroom has made such a mistake, she must be held accountable as the master, otherwise how will His Majesty serve the public? In the past, I underestimated the crown princess, who was a good person.
Then the anger on His Majesty's face faded a little, and he glanced at Concubine Yang De, who was red-eyed, and finally set her eyes on Han Jinxiu, and said, "I will order the crown princess to assist Jinyiwei in further investigating the mastermind behind the scenes today, and I will definitely find out." "He wanted to see if he could find out in the end.
Lin Botao's heart was shocked, his eyes were full of surprise, and he asked the crown princess and a female streamer to assist him in investigating the real culprit behind the scenes, what does Your Majesty mean by this?
His Majesty gave a fierce look to the past, and Lin Botao hurriedly responded.
Han Jinxiu never thought that she would be involved, maybe when she revealed that Zicui was not a suicide, she would be involved, and if she wanted to leave, I was afraid that it would not be so easy. After thinking about it for a while, Han Jinxiu said: "The son obeys the order." ”
His Majesty bowed: "Okay, let's all go down!" He had to stay and coax Concubine Yang De, to be honest, he didn't quite believe that the concubine raised by Yang Shoufu was so unbreathable, and sure enough, she was framed by others. This person is really good, killing two birds with one stone.
After Han Jinxiu and Lin Botao left, Concubine Yang Defei cried into His Majesty's arms: "Your Majesty, the concubine is so wronged, if it weren't for the crown princess, the concubine would probably have no face to face the prince again." ”
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll apologize to the prince another day." His Majesty gently patted Concubine Yang De's back and held her in his arms.
