Liu Qianqian pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "Nangong misses her in the past...... She's killed! ”

Ming Haoduan and Ming Haoping were shocked after hearing this, how could it be possible, she would not kill anyone if she said that she would go to Nangong Nianxi! But where have the others gone?

Sima Qingqing also eased up at this time and explained: "What happened is this, I was chatting with Nianxi, and a little palace maid came over to pour tea, and then ...... In this way, Nian Xi came to this Huayu Palace with another little palace maid without letting me accompany her, and now I don't know where to go, it's all because if I hadn't been in a hurry to find her, I wouldn't have alarmed other people, and I wouldn't have found this corpse. ”

Sima Zhongming gently patted his sister's back and comforted: "It's not your fault, or without your appearance, what has happened is inevitable." ”

Ming Hao listened to it, and said secretly in his heart: "Is it a trap set by that girl?" But there is no evidence, the only thing that can be done now is to find Nangong Nianxi, and first ensure her safety. ”

"Someone, go and call Jing Zhaoyin, and send someone to quickly find the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion-Nangong Nianxi.

At this time, this murder has alarmed the emperor, the emperor took the queen, Concubine Mei and the harem concubines to Huayu Palace, and everyone in the courtyard knelt on the ground with a loud cry, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

Seeing that Ming Haotian's face was gloomy, he said, "What's the matter?" Since Haoyue has ever had a death case at the New Year's banquet, this is the first time you want me to live long live, or do you want me to touch the mold? Ming Haotian was obviously angry, and the officials and ladies in the courtyard did not dare to come out.

"It's all dumb! Who can tell me what happened? ”

After asking for a long time, looking at the people kneeling on the ground, no one dared to say after inspecting it. He was even more angry, and said: "If no one tells me, go to the Internal Affairs Office and sit down!" ”

"Father's anger! Here's the thing, for me. Ming Ziling saw that his father was really angry, so he quickly stood up and said.

Ming Ziling saw that Ming Haotian did not object, so he spoke: "Father! This dead little palace maid was serving tea in the Taihe Palace, because she offended the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Nangong Nianxi, so she ......"

"No, this matter has nothing to do with the past! The princess can't wronged her former sister without evidence! Sima Qingqing didn't know where he got the courage, and suddenly opened his mouth to defend Nangong Nianxi.

Ming Haotian looked at the girl who suddenly interjected, her bright big eyes, and her tone of voice was full of anger, and after reading it again, she looked a little regretful, and her helplessness was very funny. Ming Haotian heard the meaning of his words, maintaining Nangong Nianxi. The anger in my heart was half reduced because of her.

Ming Haotian watched her finish speaking, not daring to look at her expression, so he decided to give her a chance to defend her sister, and said, "Were you talking just now?" ”

"Yes! The courtier's daughter is Sima Qingqing, the grandson of Sima Nan of the General's Mansion, and the courtier's daughter has no intention of offending the emperor, but what the princess said just now is just her own thoughts, not the facts, so she rashly interjected and asked the emperor for forgiveness! ”

"It turned out to be the granddaughter of General Sima's family, they have all grown up so big, get up and talk back, you all get up too!" Said to the ministers.

Everyone secretly said in their hearts: "This is the person who has taken a fancy to the General's Mansion, and if this continues, this Sima Qingqing will not be far from the day of entering the palace." ”

Ming Haotian spoke again: "Where is Jing Zhaoyin?" ”

"The minister is here!" After answering, he stood respectfully and waited for the emperor's order.

"You dispose of this corpse, report to the Taihe Palace in a while, and the rest of the people will follow me back to the Taihe Palace, and search in the inner courtyard of the palace, be sure to find Nangong Nianxi." After finishing the order, he turned his gaze to Sima Qingqing and said, "Let's go!" Go back to the main hall with me and talk to me about why this matter has nothing to do with Nangong Nianxi. ”

Sima Qingqing was dumbfounded, originally before his grandfather went out, he told him to talk less, listen more and watch more, now it's over, how can I explain to my grandfather when I go back! ”

When the queen was leaving, she glanced at Sima Qingqing with strange eyes, and Concubine Mei looked at her with pleasant eyes, and then everyone returned to the main hall.

Just walked into the door of the main hall, only to see a person sitting in the hall, she is none other than the Nangong Nianxi who everyone is anxiously looking for, she is leisurely drinking tea there, heard a sound of footsteps, only to raise her eyes to look, and saw that she was wearing a yellow robe in the middle, wearing a crown, and yellow boots.

Nangong Nianxi stood up, bowed down and saluted: "Nianxi greets the emperor, the queen, and Concubine Mei." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Where did you come from?" We're looking for you, and you're good to sit here and eat pastries. ”

"The emperor's words are serious, I am a little Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how dare I bother everyone to look for me."

Ming Ziling suddenly rushed to the front and scolded loudly: "Nangong Nianxi! Don't pretend, you killed the little palace maid who offended you, and pretended to be nothing, Nangong Nianxi, you are really a femme fatale, and the little palace maid didn't close her eyes when she died. ”

Nangong Nianxi was taken aback at first, and then replied unhurriedly: "Princess! Speak with evidence, your eye saw me killing! Let's not say that you target me everywhere, let's just say that today you sent a little palace maid to me, and she helped others work halfway and ran away, causing me to go around the harem, and finally let me find an acquaintance, so I returned to the main hall safely. ”

Nangong Nian read between the lines, revealing a message, that is, she was lost, she met an acquaintance halfway, and she didn't go to Huayu Palace at all, so the little palace maid's death had nothing to do with her.

Ming Ziling said unrelentingly: "Don't talk to me about the past, you said that you met an acquaintance, who is it, report your name, you can tell it, he came to testify to you, it means that you are not at the scene, you can't say it, that person was killed by you." ”

The other ladies and ladies nodded one after another, agreeing with the princess's words, if Nangong Nianxi can't say it, and there is no witness, then the number one suspect of the murderer is none other than Nangong Nianxi.

"I'm sorry! The man I met couldn't come, and it wasn't convenient for him to testify against me. ”

"Haha! No, no! Don't be reckless, Nangong Nianxi, you still confessed, you dared to kill it, didn't you? Ming Ziling said proudly when she heard this.

At this time, Ming Haotian, the queen and Concubine Mei were already sitting at the head of the main hall, and the queen said: "Remembering the past! It's too far-fetched for you to say that, so you can bring him to you as a witness, so that we may have a reason to believe you! ”

"Queen Mother! It's not that I can't come to her, it's that it's really inconvenient for her to testify. ”

At this time, Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly walked up to the hall and made a big salute, Ming Haotian waved his hand and said, "Excuse me!" Find out what the results are, hurry up and say? ”

Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! The identity of the little palace maid has been confirmed, her name is Li Fang! She is eighteen years old this year, and she also has an older sister named Li Hua who is one year older than her. According to preliminary inferences, her pupils were dilated, her eyelids were bleeding, her hyoid bone was fractured, there were no obvious injuries on her face and body, she died of suffocation due to external forces, and the murder weapon should have been a pillow or a towel or something. Before his death, he had a vigorous exercise, and when he was killed, he had obvious struggles. ”

After speaking, waiting for the emperor to give instructions, Nangong Nianxi stood below and listened carefully to Jing Zhaoyin's statement, at this time, Ming Ziling continued: "Look at it, I'll just say, Nangong Nianxi is the most suspicious, only she has been to Huayu Palace, and she struggled before she died, obviously the two of them fought to kill each other." ”

"The princess's imagination is so rich that she can make up her own autobiography. Where did you decide I was the murderer, and I said that I was not at the scene, and someone can prove it. Nangong Nianxi continued.

"What about people? If you can't come, it means that you don't, you're still quibbling, save it! You're still worried about how to defend yourself when you get to Dali Temple for a while! ”

"Who said she had no witnesses! We can prove it for her! Before the words fell, a large and a small figure appeared at the door of the main hall, Nangong Nianxi frowned, and saw that they had entered the main hall.

The person who came was Ming Haolan's father and daughter, and I saw that Ming Haolan was wearing an ice blue robe, with a very good drape, a wide belt of moon white auspicious clouds around her waist, and an excellent piece of ink jade hanging on it, with an elegant and handsome temperament.

In his hand, he also pulled the little county lord who was dressed in red. Nangong Nianxi was the first to speak: "Eighth Prince, why are you here, you know that the little county lord is not suitable for a place with a large number of people." ”

Before Ming Haolan could speak, the villain walked to Nangong Nianxi's side, stretched out his arms and shouted, "Sister! I asked my dad to bring me here, sister hug! ”

Nangong Nianxi naturally stretched out his hand and hugged the little county lord tomorrow. opened his mouth and reproached: "Didn't my sister say that you can't come here?" ”

"Sister! Just now, a lot of guards came to the palace to arrest my sister, and we learned that they wronged my sister for killing, and my sister has always been with tomorrow, how could she kill someone? That's why I begged my father to come and prove it to my sister. ”

"You! I really shouldn't tell you that you can go out, this is the first time, don't you want to go out every day! ”

Ming Haotian looked at the conversation between them just now, and roughly heard what they meant, no wonder Nangong Nianxi refused to let her come, his own emperor and grandson still knew about it, her illness was indeed not easy to see.

Ming Ziling was in a hurry, and shouted at tomorrow: "Starling! What are you doing with her, and what can a child understand? ”

"Ziling! Children are not sensible, I'm normal as an older brother! I only know that Miss Nangong was invited to Lianyun Palace as a guest on the way, and then I personally asked my guard Yifeng to escort back to the Taihe Palace. As for what you said that she killed someone, I guess she didn't have that time, because it took a long time for Miss Nangong to treat my daughter, if you don't believe it, you can call everyone in Lianyun Palace to confront her. ”

Everyone in the hall was surprised, how did this eighth prince, who usually doesn't even speak, come out to testify to a little prime minister's daughter, no wonder she said that the person who testified could not come to testify, it turned out that it was because of the little county lord tomorrow, as we all know, this little county lord has a strange illness and can't see guests.

While everyone believed that she was innocent, they all wanted to know how this little palace maid died?
