908. May
Looking at their trembling appearance, Emperor Qianling also knew that it would not be them, they were already scared stupid, and they didn't have the courage to do that kind of thing at all.
However, maybe there are people in this world who are like Ye Jingjing and have superb acting skills......
At this moment, Ye Jingjing's shadow appeared in Emperor Qianling's mind again, making him even more upset.
"If this is Jing'er......" Emperor Qianling looked around and said slowly. The grandson Xiaobai who was with her was the most suspicious person. ”
After all, now that Gongsun Xiaobai has disappeared without a trace, it is very likely that he took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Yan Zishu shook his head, "Your Majesty is too arbitrary, just now you said that this may not be the concubine." Oh, maybe it's because Your Majesty has some opinion about Mr. Gongsun. ”
Emperor Qianling snorted coldly, he didn't bother to argue with him, and asked the palace maids, "You tell me what you saw." ”
A slightly bolder palace maid nodded hurriedly and said, "We were originally going to the imperial dining room, but as soon as we walked here, we saw this, and there were blood stains on it, it was too scary......
With that, she covered her mouth and began to cry.
It seemed that they couldn't ask for useful information from their mouths, and Emperor Qianling frowned, and suddenly found something.
"She's holding something in her hand."
As he spoke, Emperor Qianling forcefully broke the corpse's hand and found a piece of blood-stained cloth.
Everyone was very surprised, and when Emperor Qianling raised his eyes, he noticed that the cloth was torn from his clothes.
The deceased was stabbed in the back, blood stained his clothes red, and the scene was a mess, so it was impossible to notice this detail at the first time.
With curiosity and apprehension, Emperor Qianling opened the cloth and found that there was a word written on it in blood: Mei.
"May?" Emperor Qianling repeated, frowning. "What does that mean?"
Nangong Rixia was stunned for a moment, and looked at a palace maid kneeling on the ground, "Mei, do you mean Xiaomei?" ”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes converged on her.
"Can't be wrong, it must be the clue left by Ye Guifei!" The palace maid beside Nangong Rixia also hurriedly shouted. "The murderer must be Xiaomei!"
The palace maid who was called Xiaomei trembled with fright and cried, "Master Mingjian, although the slave maid is called Xiaomei, but, but the concubine doesn't know my name......
Nangong Yuehua next to her had an extremely unsightly face, the reason was very simple, Xiaomei was the maid beside her.
"Sister, it's just a plum word, it shouldn't explain anything."
Nangong Yuehua spoke dissatisfiedly.
"After all, the name in the palace is related to 'Mei', not just Xiaomei."
Nangong Rixia laughed, "That's natural, after all, Xiaomei is the person next to your sister, we must investigate well, and we can't wronged good people." ”
is a simple sentence, but it directly pushed Nangong Yuehua to a disadvantageous position.
After all, everyone knows that Nangong Yuehua and Ye Jingjing have contradictions, and most of the maids around her know martial arts, and now there is a piece of cloth with the word "Mei" written on it......
Sure enough, the look in Di Qianling's eyes when he looked at her was instantly wrong.
"Don't be foolish! Xiaomei doesn't know martial arts, I can testify to this! Nangong Yuehua hurriedly argued. She hasn't studied martial arts in five years since she came to me, it's true! And as Xiaomei said, how could Ye Guifei know her name......"
Nangong Rixia laughed, "Little sister, Concubine Ye doesn't know, but look at it, she is the only one in this who has plum blossom patterns on her clothes." ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Xiaomei, and sure enough, they saw the unusual pattern. Writing Zhai
Xiaomei subconsciously wanted to cover it up, but inadvertently fell out of a handkerchief, which not only had plum blossom embroidery, but also bloodstains.
Everyone exclaimed, Xiaomei shook her head again and again, "No, no, no, I can explain it......"
"Sister Xiaomei, is it really you?!"
The palace maid who had the audacity to speak before shouted incredulously.
"You came first, and when we came, you were already there, and you were still on your knees and screaming in fright, telling us that there had been a murder...... Could it be that it's all you......"
Xiaomei looked at the people in front of her in a daze, and suddenly sneered, "Oops, you actually found out......"
She slowly got up from the ground, and for a moment it was like a different person.
"In that case, then I don't need to hide it!"
After that, he actually took out the butterfly knife from his sleeve and rushed straight towards Nangong Rixia, "Go die——! ”
Nangong Rixia was taken aback, and subconsciously took a step back, and the general next to him hurriedly shouted, "The assassin is rude!" ”
He was quick to block Xiaomei in time, and even stabbed her in the leg with a backhand.
Xiaomei knelt on the ground in response, and the soldiers next to her immediately rushed up and held her down.
"Unexpectedly, it turns out that you are the murderer, you are really good at pretending!" The general snapped. "I thought you were the one scared the most!"
Xiaomei gritted her teeth, "It's a pity that I didn't succeed!" ”
Before the words fell, her leg was suddenly stepped on fiercely, and she screamed in pain, as if her internal organs had turned over.
It was none other than the Emperor Qianling who stepped on her.
At this moment, the Emperor Qianling is full of dangerous aura and strong killing intent, like the Rakshasa King of Hell.
"Did you kill Jing'er?"
Emperor Qianling asked coldly, his eyes like ice blades.
Xiaomei spat out blood and laughed, "Haha, the task is not completed, what face do I have to live in the world?" ”
She turned her head to look at Nangong Yuehua, "Third Highness, although I killed Ye Jingjing according to your request, I still failed to kill Nangong Rixia!" The slave has no shame to live, so let's go first! ”
After that, he actually foamed at the mouth, and the whole person lost his vitality in an instant.
The general's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly went up to check, "Oops, she hid poison in her teeth in advance, and just now she bit through the poison and committed suicide...... However, what she just said ......"
He slowly turned his head, and now, everyone looked at Nangong Yuehua just like him.
Nangong Yuehua's face was blue for a while and white for a while, and she even gritted her teeth when she spoke, "No, it's not me, you ......"
However, her words were no longer spoken, and everyone present stared at her with suspicion, as if they were sure that she was behind the scenes.
"I don't have ......"
She tried her best to argue, but the moment she met Emperor Qianling's gaze, she suddenly closed her mouth, not daring to say another half a word.
It wasn't because she was ashamed, but she was stupid by Emperor Qianling's eyes.
Now Emperor Qianling's eyes are far more ruthless than when he looked at Xiaomei just now, as if he could pounce on Nangong Yuehua at any time and tear Nangong Yuehua to pieces.
