Princess Jian listened to Xu Qinghuan's words, thought carefully about these things today, and only after a while did she raise her head and look at the girl.

Princess Jian said: "You said that Brother Yuan's imprisonment in the mansion by me is one of the suspicions, so what about the second suspicion?" ”

Xu Qinghuan's eyes fell on Princess Jane's blood-stained gown: "Aunt Rong, has she hurt anyone before this incident?" ”

Princess Jian shook her head and suddenly thought of something and nodded: "After Rong Xiao was rescued from hanging, she beat people for a while, and once grabbed a hairpin and injured Lang Zhong, and her condition has slowly improved over the years, but it won't be like this." ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "Why is Aunt Rong so sick, does the princess also have doubts in her heart?" The person who can control Aunt Rong's condition must know the truth of the year.

Rong Xiao was suddenly rewarded to Prince Jian by the Queen Mother, I am afraid that there is also an inside story, the Queen Mother asked me to visit Rong Xiao, that is, I have been thinking about this matter, if the princess can figure out these pasts, it can be regarded as removing the burden on her shoulders. ”

Princess Jian had to admit that she was moved, not only because of Xie Yuan, but also because of the grievances suffered by King Jian's mansion and her mother's family over the years, she was stuffed into a concubine room for no reason, and then the concubine room became pregnant and became crazy again, every time she entered the palace to face the queen mother, she couldn't raise her head, as long as the female relatives in the clan mentioned Rong Xiao, her heart was like a knot, and her mood couldn't get any better.

Even the relationship between her and the prince has undergone subtle changes, and the prince said to her that she had been wronged and worked hard, and on the other hand, he avoided mentioning things related to Rong Xiao.

She was like a fool, traveling between the palace, the palace and her mother's house, appeasing herself in the east and suffering some grievances in the west, and finally she didn't understand anything.

This time Brother Yuan is like this, if she really takes another wrong step, she really can't explain to her mother's family, it's okay, in this case, everyone might as well open the skylight and say something bright to see who is at fault.

Princess Jian looked at the housekeeper's mother: "Go to Shuntian Mansion and invite Lord Huang to come and investigate the case." ”

The housekeeper's mother was stunned, most of the things in the inner house couldn't be quiet, wouldn't it make people laugh if they made a fuss, especially if it was the concubine of the young master and the prince, it was really convicted, and the Xie family couldn't raise their heads for the rest of their lives.

"Go quickly," Princess Jane frowned, her mind set, "if you delay the matter, I will take you for the blame." ”

Looking at the back of the housekeeper's mother leaving in a hurry, Princess Jane's strength seemed to be drained, and she didn't know if this choice was right.

"The princess doesn't have to regret it," Xu Qinghuan stepped forward to support Princess Jian, "Whether it is reported to the official or not, for King Jian's mansion, the Xie family and you, those things have already happened, let the person who should bear it bear it, you have done your best." ”

Princess Jane nodded blankly.

……

Huang Qinghe noticed something unusual when he received the news from King Jian's mansion.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing, Princess Jian will not send someone to Shuntianfu, although this dynasty is different from the previous dynasty, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, no matter who is able to violate the laws of the Great Zhou, but the emperor and nobles have their own rules in private, as long as they are not involved in a big case, Zongzheng Temple will report it, even if it is over, why is this so.

Walking into the palace and seeing a familiar figure in the courtyard, Huang Qinghe immediately thought in his heart, Jian Wangfu can report to the official, I am afraid it has something to do with Miss Xu.

Huang Qinghe didn't rush to ask Miss Xu about the situation, the most important thing at this time was to hurry up and get more evidence and clues.

Since Jian Wangfu has found him, he must handle the case rigorously, take out the ability of Shuntianfu, and do everything in accordance with the regulations of the Yamen, once the opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find out the truth, especially now that Jian Wangye's aunt and Xie Erye are uncertain, once someone dies, it is not clear what the situation was at that time.

"Since yesterday, as long as people who have entered and exited the courtyard have to come here and wait for the official to interrogate," Huang Qinghe instructed the steward, "If someone falsely reports his whereabouts and does not come to see the official for a long time, there will be a major suspicion." ”

The steward answered.

Huang Qinghe continued: "Take the list of items in Aunt Rong's house to the official to see, where did the dagger used in the murder come from, and who was present when Aunt Rong committed the murder, you must also explain to me one by one." ”

The steward nodded.

After a while, all the maids serving in the room were called.

Huang Qinghe looked over one by one: "Is this all to serve Aunt Rong on weekdays?" ”

All say yes.

Huang Qinghe's gaze fell on a very well-dressed woman: "Why are you dressed differently from them?" Who are you? ”

The woman glanced at Princess Jian before she said: "Slave Hongyu was originally here to serve Aunt Rong, because Aunt Rong is sick, she will always recognize the slave and maid as the master to serve, for Aunt Rong's illness, the slave and maid have to be ......by Aunt Rong's will."

Huang Qinghe looked at the red jade, and saw that her appearance was delicate, with a frightened and uncertain look, and she was holding a handkerchief tightly in her hand.

Huang Qinghe said: "Where were you when Aunt Rong went crazy today?" ”

Hongyu pursed her lips: "The slave is in the house......"

Huang Qinghe motioned for Hongyu to continue.

Hongyu said: "This morning the slave maid got up first, at that time Hongyu was still asleep, the slave maid went outside to freshen up, and was about to go back to call Hongyu, but I didn't expect Hongyu to sit in front of the mirror and suddenly yell, Aunt Rong also has such a situation on weekdays, where could I have thought that she would hide a sharp weapon in her hand, and wait for the second master to come in and then ......"

Huang Qinghe said: "How do you know that Aunt Rong has hidden a sharp weapon." ”

Hongyu was stunned when asked: "Because...... None of us noticed. ”

Huang Qinghe continued to ask: "Didn't you notice if she was holding something in her hand?" ”

Ruby nodded: "Yes......"

Huang Qinghe didn't give Hongyu time to think about it: "Who threw the things in that house?" ”

"Aunt Rong."

"If she has something in her hand, how can she lose it?"

"Also...... Maybe...... She hid somewhere else on her body. ”

Huang Qinghe continued: "So Aunt Rong didn't find the dagger when she threw something and held it in her hand while she was throwing something, but hid it on her body early. ”

Hongyu swallowed, and panic flashed on her face: "Slave maid...... I don't know...... Maybe it was later that I got it. ”

Huang Qinghe said: "Where is the dagger placed on weekdays?" ”

Hongyu didn't think twice: "In the fruit bowl, Aunt Rong brought me the fruit yesterday. ”

Huang Qinghe then asked, "Did you tell Aunt Rong to bring it to you?" ”

Ruby nodded, and quickly shook her head again: "No...... No...... Aunt Rong wanted to take it herself. ”

Huang Qinghe's expression was solemn, and he raised his voice slightly: "Is it you who took it or who she took it?" ”

Hongyu seemed to be about to speak, but closed her mouth again, and raised her head to look at Huang Qinghe's expression: "What is Lord Huang asking?" ”

"Fruit," Huang Qinghe said, "what do you think I'm going to ask?" ”

"Of course it......" Hongyu suddenly couldn't speak, as if she had forgotten what she had just said.

Huang Qinghe seems to have found the answer: "You gave it to her." ”

Hongyu became vigilant again: "What are you talking about, I'm ...... I didn't give it to her, I didn't give her anything. ”

"The dagger," Huang Qinghe said, "you gave it to her." ”

"Wronged," Hongyu said, "how could the slave give the dagger to Aunt Rong, it was Aunt Rong who found it herself." ”

Huang Qinghe nodded: "Then let's try it, you take the dagger and go in and hand it to Aunt Rong, and see what she will look like." ”

Hongyu's eyes shrank, and the whole person took a step back, and then ran to Princess Jane and knelt down: "Princess, the slave and maid don't go, if the dagger given by the slave and the maid Aunt Rong takes it, won't the slave and the maid become a murderer." ”

Princess Jane looked at Hongyu, still a little confused.

"Princess, is she a descendant of the palace?" Xu Qinghuan's voice sounded, "Where was Aunt Rong when she had a miscarriage a few years ago?" Why did you ask her to serve Aunt Rong, who did she associate with, whether she still had a family, who was taking care of her family, and whether she had seen anyone in the past two days. ”

After saying this, Xu Qinghuan looked out of the courtyard: "In addition to Xie Yuan, there are other people in the palace?" ”

Xie Yun, Princess Jian almost blurted out that Hongyu is also a descendant of the Xie family, and she brought it back to the capital from Changzhou, is it possible...... These things really have to do with Ruby.
