The prince investigates thoroughly
The two remained silent for a long time.
Qiu Suya also knew that she couldn't get rid of him, but she was angry for a while, and coupled with the blow of the miscarriage, she completely poured her anger on him.
But one thing she was sure of.
When he returns, there will definitely be a big incident on the front line, but it is far away, and it will not be transmitted to Kyoto for the time being.
Mo Xuan sat for a while, seeing that she was getting weaker and weaker, and was about to call someone to summon the imperial doctor, but when she saw the queen rushing in violently, she scolded her head and face as soon as she stepped forward.
"Xuan'er, are you crazy? For the sake of this woman, do you want to cut off the whole country?"
Mo Xuan got up and knelt down at her: "Queen Mother, son-in-law ......"
The queen walked past him, walked directly to the bedside, glared at Qiu Suya with cold eyes, and said sharply: "You can't keep your good grandson, you lie down for ten days, why don't you just die?"
Qiu Suya slowly opened her eyes, her breath was weak, and she no longer had the strength to argue.
Mo Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "This is not about Ya'er, it is Erchen himself who wants to come back!"
The queen turned her head and glared at him: "I have completely blocked the news, how can you know?
Mo Xuan couldn't argue, so he had to pull the queen out of the door in a hurry.
"Queen Mother, Ya'er has just woken up and is still very weak, don't stimulate her anymore. ”
"Hmph, I don't know who stimulated whom! If it weren't for the fact that my body is still quite strong, I would have been by the two of you!" the queen was furious, and tried her best to suppress her anger, so that she did not slap him.
Mo Xuan repeatedly flattered: "It's Erchen's fault, Erchen should die! It's so late, go back and rest!"
In the end, the queen still gave him enough face, and left angrily, throwing out a sentence before leaving: "Have a good rest, and give me back to the front line tomorrow!"
Mo Xuan nodded again and again, and could only respond first.
Time was pressing, and he didn't have time to rest, so he went to Tingwei's mansion in the middle of the night, Tingwei Leng Tao didn't dare to slack off, took the case file as quickly as possible, and explained all the details of the interrogation of Su Linger to him one by one.
"So, Lord Leng also thinks that Su Ling'er was wronged?"
Leng Tao's face was dark, and he nodded: "If Su Ling'er is suspicious, then more than a dozen side concubines of His Royal Highness are all suspicious, but the thing was found in Su Linger's backyard, and it seems that she is the most suspicious, in fact, if you think about it carefully, the possibility of being framed is quite large." ”
"How so?"
"Because the villain's fabric is very special, when the dozen or so side concubines entered the East Palace, the queen mother rewarded them with the same fabric. The fine silk given to our country by the Nan Cao Kingdom, in addition to the queen, only these dozen side concubines have it, which is extremely precious. ”
Mo Xuan thought for a while and frowned: "According to what you say, it seems that every side concubine is suspicious." ”
"That's right, and they all have motives for murdering the crown princess. ”
Jealousy, competition for favor, it seems that it is not difficult to understand.
Mo Xuan fell into deep thought.
Leng Tao continued: "As for why such a special fabric is used, presumably this person is just to frame Su Ling'er. ”
"Not true. Jun's eyes lit up, and Mo Xuan suddenly had an idea, "It is not the murderer's purpose to frame Su Linger, in fact, he can frame any side concubine, after all, this fabric is not Su Linger's only." ”
"Well, this is indeed contradictory, but the murderer framed Su Ling'er, and on the surface he had nothing to do with the other side concubines. ”
Mo Xuan flipped through the case file, which recorded a few confessions from Su Ling'er.
"She said it all herself?"
"That's right! Xia Guan also went to confirm that Su Ling'er did not have a quarrel with any side concubines during this period, and only Zhang Yunshu, the daughter of Uncle Guo, and Sheng Guogong's daughter Sheng Xia were relatively close, and it was said that they had a good relationship, ruling out the possibility of deliberate revenge. ”
Mo Xuan shook his head: "No, you can't look at the surface of everything. Zhang Yunshu is thoughtful and a yin owl. Midsummer is a smiling tiger, who is harmonious with everyone on the surface, but he doesn't know what conspiracy is hidden behind his back. ”
Leng Tao looked at him in astonishment: "It is rumored that His Highness has never even been to their residence, but he actually understands them so thoroughly?"
Mo Xuan sneered and didn't answer.
During that time, in order to protect Qiu Suya's stinky girl with no conscience, which of the more than a dozen side concubines he hadn't investigated?
Getting back to business, he said solemnly: "And that Qiu Suyu, she is the most suspicious!"
"Oh?" Leng Tao was a little confused, "I have heard that Qiu Suyu is a gentle lady with both ability and integrity, the Prime Minister loves her very much, and her relationship with the crown princess is not bad, why does His Highness doubt her?"
Mo Xuan didn't know how to answer, suspecting that Qiu Suyu was just an intuition, and the smarter the person, the more he didn't dare to underestimate it.
That girl is either as noble as a saint, or she is a cunning and wicked girl who hides deeply!
"That's it! The palace is in a hurry, so we can only lock these three people first. Zhang Yunshu and Sheng Xia handed them over to Lord Leng, and immediately summoned them over for interrogation, as for Qiu Suyu, the palace had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first. This girl, I'm going to do a thorough investigation from beginning to end!"
Leng Tao didn't ask any more questions, first locked up the suspect, and then arrested and interrogated, although it was a little urgent, but it was also a good way.
Immediately, he ordered someone to summon Zhang Yunshu and Sheng Xia over, saying that it was a summons, but in fact it was a forcible arrest, who made the prince anxious? How could there be time for them to wash and dress up?
No, the two of them were still asleep, and they didn't even have time to put on their coats, and they were escorted to the Tingwei Mansion unkempt.
Shocked, the two suddenly shrank and leaned together, trembling.
Zhang Yunshu is also the daughter of Uncle Guo, and Sheng Xia's father is also an important minister of the imperial court.
Although the two of them were angry, they did not dare to attack.
At this time, Mo Xuan rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, and Qiu Xiangcheng bowed to him in fear.
"Father-in-law, please. Mo Xuan got straight to the point, without a word of nonsense, "Take this palace to Qiu Suyu's boudoir, this palace has something to ask you." ”
Qiu Xiang was sleepy-eyed, and only reacted after a while, his old face wrinkled ugly: "Didn't this girl make His Highness angry?"
It must not be so simple for the prince to suddenly rush back from the front line! At the moment, he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly led him into Qiu Suyu's boudoir.
The boudoir is elegantly furnished, and at first glance, Mo Xuan was stunned, and the layout was almost exactly the same as Qiu Suya's room.
Qiu Xiang also saw his doubts and explained: "Yu'er, this girl has always envied her sister, except for her temperament, whether it is clothing, accessories, or furnishings in the house, she wants to be exactly the same as her sister." ”
Envy? Mo Xuan frowned and asked casually, "Envy what?"
Qiu Xiang smiled bitterly: "What else can the youngest daughter's family envy? Isn't it just that she envy her sister for the favor of His Royal Highness?"
Mo Xuan didn't speak, and his face sank.
