Chapter 424: Foggy

"Princess Caiyue has pinch marks on the front and back of her neck, and there are bruises on her back, which shows that you just wanted to attack the princess from behind, but the princess didn't die, and found you, so you strangled her with a rope. But the princess kept struggling, so you put your hands together and left marks on the front and back of the princess's neck. ”

The female assassin argued, "I confess that I strangled her, but I don't know anything about the wounds on her back, and I never thought of hurting her in the back." She just kept struggling, and I was afraid that she would bring someone in, so I strangled her with both hands so that no trace was left. ”

When Xu Tiantian heard this, she sneered, and the female assassin suddenly had a bad premonition, and sure enough, the next moment she heard Xu Tiantian speak: "Your Majesty, right now, can you believe that this female assassin is just grabbing the top bag?" ”

"Just now I just wanted to pry some words out of her mouth, for the details of the princess's death, although she was generally right, but she pulled down a detail!"

"The princess only has nail marks on the back of her neck, not on the front neck, so the person who really wants to kill the princess doesn't want to do it himself, but when he saw the princess struggling, he had to help him. But the man swore that there were also pinch marks on the princess's neck. ”

The female assassin heard Xu Tiantian's words and saw the emperor and the ministers come out, it turned out that all this was just Xu Tiantian acting for her, she just wanted to get some words out of her mouth.

Xuan Ruochen was naturally reluctant to let Xu Tiantian know the truth, and now he finally had the opportunity to get rid of Yi Yunzhi, and he was also able to show his prestige in the court, and stepped forward to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Caiyue has been gone for seven days, and if you don't bury it, I'm afraid it will make Caiyue suffer underground." Yi Yunzhi did such a rebellious thing, and he should be buried for Caiyue. The minister is willing to lead all the soldiers to set foot in the Jade Kingdom. ”

Xu Tiantian's eyes were cold, and he looked at Xuan Ruochen directly, as if he knew at a glance what he was thinking about.

"The prince insisted that this matter was done by Yi Yunzhi, isn't it too unfair to him? What's more, this matter on the side is really done by Yi Yunzhi, but now the people in the capital are all panicked when they hear that they are going to fight with the Jade Kingdom. The emperor is a Ming monarch, so he naturally knows that if there is a war, it will definitely be the people who will work and lose money, not to mention displacement, it will also make the emperor lose the hearts of the people, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Xuan Ruochen originally wanted to say something, but Xu Tiantian said this without leaking, although he ruined his plan, but he couldn't go against Xu Tiantian, so he had to say it cryptically on the side.

"It's not that this king is holding on to Yi Yunzhi, everyone in the capital knows that Yi Yun's mind is all on Princess Jing, even if He Caiyue is decided later, he even wants to withdraw from the marriage. Now that Caiyue died tragically, someone has corrected her, could it be that I, Jingxi, on top of Kyushu, still have to rely on a small country? Then where is the majesty of my Jingxi? What's more, this man has become like this, and he can't lie even if he thinks about it, and the dying man is kind in his words! ”

Xu Tiantian Xuan Ruochen was so stubborn that he knew that there must be a secret in this matter that he couldn't let others know.

"The prince just wants to know if Princess Caiyue was killed by this person, and everyone has heard some of the details of the confrontation between me and this person, if you don't believe it, you can carry the princess's body over to confront you now."

Xuan Ye waved his hand and asked people to carry the body of Princess Caiyue over, Princess Caiyue had been dead for a few days, and her body had begun to decompose, and some corpses smelled. Since the nail marks on the back of Princess Caiyue's neck were the only clues she could find, she deliberately used some realgar wine and rosin to protect that piece of skin.

Xu Tiantian took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, stepped forward and lifted the clothes behind Princess Caiyue, the nail marks on her neck were faintly visible, but the skin in front of her was not unusual except for some faint corpse spots.

"The prince can now believe that the princess was not killed by the person in front of him, although I don't know who she is guilty of and why she framed Yi Yunzhi, but now the prince is rashly going to lead troops to fight, which is really not a wise move."

Xuan Ruochen's face was a little ugly, after all, Xu Tiantian's mind was too meticulous, and he was very secret.

Xuan Ruochen looked at the female assassin with anger on his face, "Things have come to this point, is it possible that you still have to protect the master behind you with your heart?" You have thought clearly, if you say it today, the emperor can ensure that you are safe and worry-free, but if you don't recruit, I am afraid there is only one way to die. If you die, you are dead, your life is not worth much, but you think about your family. ”

After hearing what Xuan Ruochen said, the person's eyes widened obviously, Xuan Ruochen didn't want her to tell the truth, but threatened her with his family!

The man sneered, and suddenly spat blood from his mouth, Xu Tiantian was startled, and Xuan Ye immediately stepped forward to block Xu Tiantian's eyes.

Several guards stepped forward and knelt on the ground to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this person has a poison hidden in her teeth, so she committed suicide by taking poison." ”

As for who is behind the murder of Princess Caiyue, there is no evidence that this person is dead, although Xu Tiantian knows it, but there is no evidence after all. Shaking his head, he only felt a little regretful, this person probably thought that he could still survive, even if he was tortured like this, he never took poison and committed suicide, but now that the matter is revealed, she can only die.

"The Emperor's ......"

"The matter of attacking the Jade Kingdom will be discussed in the future, Yi Yunzhi has been grounded for many days, so let him out, after all, there is no evidence in this matter, and it is rude to treat the prince of the neighboring country like this."

Xuan Ruochen was unwilling, but he had no choice but to give up. It is a blessing in misfortune that this matter has not been exposed.

Princess Caiyue's funeral could not be delayed any longer, and in the end, there was no evidence to prove who was the real murderer of her, and the emperor only gave her the supreme honor in his heart.

Yi Yunzhi could ask Xu Tiantian about Princess Caiyue's mausoleum, the royal cemetery was solemn, Yi Yunzhi took two jars of wine and put them next to Princess Caiyue's tomb.

"I didn't know much about you when I was alive, and I didn't know if you drank or not, so the cold underground brought you two jars, and you also warmed your body."

"I know I'm ashamed of you, and I once thought that it would be better to marry you back to the Jade Kingdom, but there was an extra concubine in the harem, but I never thought that you would kill Tiantian. That's it, the past is over. ”

"You know that when I first met you, you were a frizzy girl, and although you were ignorant and simple, you were simple and lovely. Don't worry, I won't let you die so inexplicably no matter what, the real murderer of you, sooner or later I will make him kneel in front of your grave and confess his mistake to you. I only hope that you have been reincarnated now, and if you have an afterlife, don't meet people like me again, and find an ordinary family to live a good life. ”

Yiyun said to himself in front of the grave, and after a long time, he stood up and turned his head, but saw a woman next to him, who was very familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that this was the maid who had been waiting by Princess Caiyue's side.

The maid seemed to see Yi Yunzhi looking at her, and saluted respectfully, "The slave maid has seen His Highness." ”

Yi Yunzhi nodded, and did not stop: "You are loyal, the master has been dead for so long and has been following around." ”

"Your Royal Highness, the real murderer of the princess is the crown princess, and I was present that day to see the princess kill Princess Caiyue. But at that time, the slave and maid were too frightened, and did not stop it in time, thinking of running to call someone, but after the time was called, the princess was already dead. ”

"The crown princess saw me that day and kept trying to kill me, so I hid and came to the princess's mausoleum. Ask the prince for help! ”

Yi Yunzhi looked at her with a look in his eyes, "Is this true?" Do you know that when you say these words, if there is a false word, it is a capital offense to lose your head? ”

The maid nodded heavily and knelt on the ground, "Please ask Your Highness to save the life of the slave and maid for the sake of the princess." ”

Yi Yunzhi nodded, who killed Princess Caiyue? In fact, most people know it, but there has been no evidence, and now this person is a crucial witness.

When Yi Yunzhi took the maid to King Jing's mansion, Xu Tiantian was pruning the flower branches, "You just ran to my mansion after the emperor lifted the ground, don't you think those rumors in the capital are not enough?" ”

Yi Yunzhi saw Xu Tiantian put down the scissors in his hand and stepped forward, "I brought you a certificate today." Mu Caiyue's death is still a mystery, but this maid said that she saw Jin Lishan kill Mu Caiyue with her own eyes that day. ”

Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye glanced at each other, and they both looked at the maid behind Yi Yunzhi. This maid Xu Tiantian looked a little familiar, and Princess Caiyue often took her with her when she came to Jingwang's Mansion.

"Did you see the crown princess kill the princess?"

The maid nodded again and again, with horror in her eyes, "Back to the princess, it was indeed the slave and maid who saw it with her own eyes that day, and now the princess knows that the slave and maid know about it, so she sends people to find the slave and maid every day to kill people and kill people, and the slave and maid have to hide next to the princess's grave. ”

Xuan Ye's face was cold, when facing outsiders, he was always different from Xu Tiantian's softness, "Since you already knew about this matter, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The maid trembled, and the eyelashes of her eyes trembled slightly: "The crown princess has been looking for the whereabouts of the slave maid, and even the emperor and queen were deceived by the female assassin a few days ago, and the slave and maid are really frightened, and they are afraid that no one will believe them if they say it." ”

Even if Xu Tiantian knew that what this maid said was true, it was too strange for her to suddenly come out now, even if what she said was seamless, how could she think that Yi Yunzhi would definitely help her?
