Chapter 38: Gu Shumei's Death I
What's going on? Why is there blood under this bed? She took out the dagger she had been using for self-defense, the tranquilizer gun, and walked cautiously to the bed.
"Who's under the bed?" For a long time, no one answered.
She suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, and with a twist of heart, she raised her hand and opened the bed, and a woman with a knife in the abdomen, wide eyes, and a frightened face appeared in front of her.
Chu Wanyue was frightened and took a few steps back, calmed down, and plucked up the courage to step forward to check the woman's breathing and pulse, the woman was dead, but the body was still hot, and it should not be long after death.
She looked closely, and the woman was very familiar and familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
There was a sudden commotion outside the door, and Peach seemed to be arguing with someone. She got up from the side of the bed, wanted to see what was going on outside the door, and then asked Zhitao to report to the official. But the moment she got up, the people outside had already broken down the door, and it was Jingzhao Mansion Yin who took the lead.
"Princess Yi?" Jingzhao Mansion Yin was shocked when he saw Chu Wanyue. Then hurry up and salute.
"It's really time for Master Tong to come, there was a murder here, and I was about to let someone report to the official!" Chu Wanyue said with a smile. At this time, she already remembered who the person who died under the bed, it was the original owner's own sister, Gu Shumei, who was supposed to marry King Yi but escaped on the wedding day.
Before Lord Tong of Jingzhao Mansion could speak, a little maid suddenly came out from behind him, and as soon as the little maid entered the door, she cried and threw herself in front of the bed, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you say that you wanted to find the second lady to talk about sisterhood? How did it come to this. ”
His grandfather's, is he possessed by a god of decay, occasionally fragile, and can fall into the trap of the enemy so coincidentally? That's too much back, isn't it?
Master Tong gave Chu Wanyue another salute, "I'm afraid Princess Yi is going to go with the lower officials." ”
"This princess wants to know, how did Lord Tong know that there was a murder here?" I'm afraid that the prison of Jingzhao Mansion will have to go this time, but if you inquire more about the news, you may be able to speculate who is behind the scenes.
"A scholar named Liu Shang came to Jingzhao Mansion half an hour ago to report to the official."
"What about others!" Liu Shang? The doorman of the Dongwang Mansion who eloped with Gu Shumei, this matter seems to be getting more and more complicated.
"It's still in Jingzhao Mansion."
"If this princess says that someone is planning to frame me, can Master Tong believe it?"
"This ——, lives are at stake, please remember the princess not to be embarrassed."
"Okay, I'll go with you." She was caught at the scene of the crime, and she couldn't get out without some reliable evidence.
Because of her identity, Chu Wanyue was placed in a separate cell. When she went in, she saw Chef Li being dragged out with scars all over her body.
"What's going on? Wasn't it okay for me to come and see her two hours ago? Chu Wanyue deliberately pretended to be surprised and asked.
"Alas, the people in the cell were killed without any seriousness." Jingzhao Mansion Yin sighed, very helpless.
"Then the case of Princess Ben being framed at the birthday banquet of King Dong's birthday is settled?"
"This ——, the lower officials will truthfully report to the higher authorities and give the Yiwang Mansion a fair one." Jingzhao Mansion Yin has a headache, why are the cases in the past few days inseparable from the Yiwang Mansion, although the Yiwang is an unfavored prince, it is not easy to offend.
The cell was dark and damp, but it was clean and equipped with a hard bed. As a student of a military medical school, such an environment is nothing at all.
She sat down quietly and began to close her eyes. At this time, the news is estimated to have reached the Yiwang Mansion and the Xiangguo Mansion, and maybe it has reached the palace. Gu Shumei's affair with someone to escape from the marriage is probably no longer covered by the Xiangguo Mansion. Next, it's up to his grandfather to act.
On this night in prison, she thought a lot and had a clear plan for the future. After the news of Gu Shumei's death spread, the Gu family became infamous, and other forces in the court would definitely take this opportunity to suppress the Gu family. Therefore, it is better to take this opportunity to let Yue Mingchen take a break from himself, draw a line with him from now on, and then find a way to save himself, find a quiet village to escape from the world, and wait for the eldest brother to find a way to take him back.
In the early morning of the second day, the first person to see her was Li Ximo.
"Cousin-in-law, they must be talking nonsense, how could you possibly kill your own sister." Li Ximo shook his fat body, took Chu Wanyue's hand and cried.
"What's going on out there?"
"They are all spreading that you killed your sister in order to marry King Yi."
"Anything else?" Why is there nothing about Gu Shumei's fornication?
"No, they all said that you wanted to marry King Yi in the first place, so you deliberately gave your sister the handkerchief used by the leper, and then caused her to contract leprosy, and then you took the opportunity to marry your cousin King Yi for her. Now, Miss Gu is sick and comes to confront you, and you take the opportunity to kill her. ”
