Nangong Wen walked up from below, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said, "The emperor is gracious!" The minister believes that the little girl will not kill. The old minister vouched for his own net worth and life, and asked the emperor to investigate. ”

"Daddy! You are confused, how can you vouch for your life? Nangong Qingyun came up from behind and said.

"Big brother! Sister Nian Xi can't kill people, so you can trust my sister! Nangong Haoran answered, and then knelt down.

Nangong Nianxi was also moved when he saw this scene, stepped forward, helped the sixth brother, supported Nangong Wen with both hands, and said, "Daddy! Thank you for your trust, but I'm going to prove it myself...... I didn't kill anyone. ”

"Good! Daddy has your back! After speaking, he pulled Xiao Haoran and stood aside.

Nangong Nianxi stood firm and said, "Your Majesty, since everyone present is questioning me, can the emperor give his courtiers a chance to defend themselves?" I'm going to prove my innocence. ”

"If you can prove your innocence, I'll give you time, but the ugly words come ahead, what if you can't prove your innocence?" Ming Haotian deliberately embarrassed her.

Nangong Nianxi pondered for a moment and said: "Back to the emperor, if the courtiers can't prove their innocence today, then the courtiers are willing to accept any punishment." ”

"Good! Refreshing, I like this kind of daring woman, so how are you going to defend yourself next? ”

"The courtiers want to conduct an autopsy in person? Because the living can lie, and the dead often die without turning a blind eye, they will leave us with clues to avenge themselves. ”

"Nangong misses the past! Are you sure you want an autopsy? ”

Nangong Nianxi nodded firmly, Ming Haotian saw it, and secretly thought: "This daughter-in-law is really different, autopsy?" Does she dare? A woman like her avoids seeing a dead person, and she has to do her own autopsy. ”

Rather than thinking about it yourself, it is better to witness with your own eyes whether her son is determined to marry her or not.

So he said: "Come on, carry the body of the little palace maid outside the Taihe Palace, and I want to personally see how Nangong Nianxi performed the autopsy." ”

The people below quickly sent someone to do something, Nangong Nianxi stood in the center of the main hall, and said in his heart: "Your Majesty, you are still really curious, you can order Jing Zhaoyin to investigate this case, but you have to prove it yourself, are you testing me?" ”

I was thinking nonsense, and there was a rumor outside, saying that the body had been carried and was waiting for Miss Nangong to inspect it.

Ming Haotian got up, the queen and Concubine Mei also stood up and walked out of the hall with the emperor, the dragon chair had been prepared outside, after the emperor took the queen concubine to sit down, Nangong Nianxi walked to the body of the little palace maid alone, squatted down gently, and reached out to open the white cloth covering it.

Nangong Nianxi looked at the little palace maid carefully, only to see that her face was bruised, there were no obvious handprints under her face, and there were extremely fine fibers in her nasal cavity, and there were no obvious scars on her face.

Nangong Nianxi continued to observe, rolled up her sleeves, her skin was rough, and her palms were calloused, indicating that she was often engaged in labor, Nangong Nianxi suddenly remembered something, came to her legs, took off her shoes, and didn't find it, after the two took off together, Nangong Nianxi stood up.

Walking towards the crowd, the young ladies of the other families were holding embroidered handkerchiefs, disgusted that she had just touched the corpse of a dead man. Nangong Nianxi had a helpless expression and said, "Everyone! There's no way, whoever told you to doubt me, then I had to come and test it myself, it's not that I have to touch the corpse. ”

After speaking, he passed them and came to the emperor and said, "Back to the emperor, the courtiers have finished the inspection." ”

"What did you find?"

"The courtier found that this little palace maid was suffocated by someone who covered her mouth and nose with something like a quilt or pillow."

"Nangong misses the past! Aren't you talking nonsense? Jing Zhaoyin had reported it in advance. If you don't find anything, don't waste everyone's time. Ming Ziling said in a disdainful tone.

"Ziling! Isn't there too much for you to talk about tonight, if you still want to go to the banquet, you can honestly listen to what you have to say. Ming Hao opened his mouth and reprimanded.

"Second brother! Why do you keep talking to her, what she said, someone has just said, she is wasting everyone's time. Ming Ziling was afraid of Ming Haoduan in his life, and when he heard him stop himself, he hurriedly explained.

"She hasn't finished her sentence yet, why are you in such a hurry? Reminiscing about the past, you continue, what else have you found? ”

Nangong Nianxi looked at the conversation between the two brothers and sisters, had a headache, and when she saw that the topic was thrown to her again, she continued: "I don't know if you still remember the reason why I had a dispute with that little palace maid today. ”

Sima Qingqing preemptively said: "Because that little palace maid poured us tea and spilled it on your clothes." ”

"Sister Qingqing! Do you remember how the little palace maid did? ”

She was so frightened that she threw the teapot in her hand to the ground, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"That's right! Then let me ask my sister, is the water temperature very high when making tea with normal tea? ”

"Of course! Otherwise, the tea will not be able to brew, which will affect the taste and aroma of the tea. ”

So what happens if tea is accidentally spilled on your feet? ”

"Needless to say, it must be the light ones that bubble and the heavy ones that fall into skin."

"That's it! Thank you, Sister Qingqing, you can rest for a while, and then I will explain. ”

Sima Qingqing nodded slightly and stood beside his brother.

Nangong Nianxi continued: "Everyone has also heard that if you are scalded by boiling water, the light ones will be scalded into blisters, and the heavy ones will lose their skin. But I found that the little palace maid's feet were intact and there were no signs of burns. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads to each other and made a mess, gossiping and talking, it was not the little palace maid, the clear-eyed person knew as soon as he heard it, it must be Nangong Nianxi who offended someone, and wanted to frame her, and now it is confirmed that it is not the little palace maid, then she has no motive to commit the crime. But the deceased is too similar to that little palace maid, not that Nangong Nianxi has a good reason to believe that there will be exactly the same person in the world. Everyone was curious about what Nangong Nianxi was going to do next.

At this time, Nangong Qingrou opened her mouth and said happily: "That big sister is not suspicious, it's really good!" But...... But even if she wasn't the little palace maid, she was in Huayu Palace with her sister, how could this be explained? After speaking, he looked at Nangong Nianxi as if he was embarrassed, and covered his mouth pitifully, as if he regretted what he had just said.

Everyone's eyes are bright, which lady has not used a plan in her hands, her words are ostensibly happy for Nangong Nianxi, but in fact, the meaning of the words is that you have no motive, but the human and physical evidence is still there, and the little palace maid is still inseparable from you, no matter who it is.

Nangong Nianxi glanced at her with deep eyes, without any ups and downs on her face, and then spoke again: "Second sister is right, now let's talk about the cause of her death." ”

Then he said: "I also said just now that she was covered to death, but the strange thing is that she died differently from ordinary people, ordinary deceased people are covered with their mouths and noses, there will be violent struggles, and there will be obvious contusions between the lips and teeth because of resistance. ”

"But! This little palace maid did not have any scars on her face, and her hands were held tightly before she died, because her hands were calloused and she worked often, and she did not have long nails, so she only left four nail marks on the palms of her hands. ”

"Take a normal person as an example, if they are attacked, will they grab the other person's clothes or body?" After speaking, he inspected everyone present, and everyone nodded one after another.

Nangong Nianxi said: "That means that she voluntarily suffocated to death by covering her mouth and nose." And she must know the man who killed her. ”

"You're confusing the audition, why do you say they know, are you picking up the fact that you are the murderer?" Ming Ziling couldn't help but ask.

Because the contents of her nose were the remnants of a cotton handkerchief, it means that she was first stunned and then covered to death. Because the deceased did not struggle, they knew it, and the murderer couldn't do it, so they could have strangled the deceased directly, but they didn't bother to run to the back bedroom and brought a larger object that could cover the deceased's eyes to cover the deceased. ”

"It's all your own speculation, why should we believe you?"

"I said they knew each other, and there must be a connection between the deceased and the palace maid who poured the tea, as long as I find the little palace maid, what I said will become true. And I believe that they look so similar, if I am not mistaken, the murderer is the palace maid who resembles the deceased. ”

"What you said is if, if there is no evidence, then what is the white fox fur on her body? Is this the only thing in the world? Ming Ziling asked aggressively.

"I can explain this!" A thick male voice remembered, and then a red figure instantly came to the door of the Taihe Palace, only to see him dressed in red clothes, smooth and white face, with angular coldness, black eyes, glamorous color, tall nose, beautiful lip shape, May Day is not ostentatious and noble.

Everyone looked up, the speaker was Ming Haoxuan, everyone was recalling, was the voice just now not from him, wasn't he a fool? How could it be possible to say such a deep voice.

Nangong Nianxi saw him staring at him affectionately, Ming Haoxuan walked quickly to Nangong Nianxi and said, "My Xi'er, I'm not by your side, are you okay?" ”

Nangong Nianxi was amused in her heart: "We meet every night, don't you know if I'm okay?" "But today is the day to prove it." So he replied, "Lord! Is that you? You're back? How are you? ”

Ming Haotian watched the interaction between the two, and said in his heart: "My son can pretend, and my daughter-in-law can also pretend, if it weren't for my son coming to the harem in advance and seeing himself, I really thought he was rushing back from Tianlong Temple." What a pair of black-bellied guys. ”

Nangong Mingyue, who was standing behind Nangong Wen, saw the chic and handsome Ming Hao Xuan Mingyan returning, and listening to the tone of his voice, it seemed that he was even getting better. At this time, she said that she would give up on Ming Haoxuan, and looked at Ming Haoxuan like a nymphomaniac, hoping that the gentle person in his eyes was herself.

"Xi'er! With me in the future, you won't be alone, I will always be by your side. After speaking, he took Nangong Nianxi's hand and put it on his chest.
