Chapter 327: Scorched Corpses in Ruins
An Zhaoyong nodded with a crunched mouth, wiped his tears, got up and pulled the burnt man out of the emperor's arms, "Your Majesty, it's really messy here, go back." ”
"I don't leave, I want to accompany Xiao'er......" Xuanyuan Rui hugged the charred corpse.
"Alas, the emperor put it down, everyone is scorched, and there is nothing to see." An Zhaoyong forcefully pulled the scorched hand out of the emperor's hand, and snatched the person out and placed it on the board.
"Xiao'er...... You are gone so miserably, how can I live in the world in peace......" Xuanyuan Rui half-knelt beside the corpse, pulling one of the charred arms of the charred corpse and crying bitterly.
Yang Jiaojian's sharp gaze had already fallen on the scorched palm that An Zhaoyong and the emperor were fighting for, and there was a little bit of pink on the scorched corpse, which was very dazzling.
The words came to his lips, and Yang Jiaojian suddenly held back. Half a month ago, the prime minister told Yang Jiaojian an amazing story, Yang Jiaojian turned out to be the eldest son of the prime minister's long-lost son.
Looking at the hottest controversy among the ministers of the imperial court, the formation of the Yun threat theory advocated by the prime minister has taken shape, and the cold palace may be the first cold arrow shot by the anti-cloud forces against the queen mother.
Yang Jiaojian suspected that there must be a big conspiracy behind this murder of the queen, whether to truthfully report the truth to the emperor, at this time Yang Jiaojian's heart continued to be complicated, and finally lowered his eyes, and remained silent with great guilt.
Xiao Yi stared at the exposed hand, stared at it, knelt beside the emperor, and unreservedly revealed the suspicions, "Your Majesty, can the person who was burned be the queen's mother?" The queen's hands are not so stubby, and the mother has well-trimmed nails, and this hand is ......."
"Xu is fingers are burned and swollen, and his nails are also burned, Xiao Yi don't talk about this, the emperor can't stand it." An Zhaoyong cried and caught Xiao Yi's words, don't say these unbearable words in front of the emperor, the emperor's heart is already painful enough.
"Your Majesty, it's not too late to ask the imperial doctor to verify your body and cry again." Xiao Yi did not give up and proposed bluntly.
"There is no one else in the Mo Da Leng Palace, only Xiao'er lives in the Leng Palace, who can it be if it is not Xiao'er? Poor Xiao'er has been burned beyond recognition. Xuanyuan Rui's sad eyes squeezed out a teardrop.
"Xiao Yi, don't say it again." An Zhaoyong began to cry.
"Your Majesty, the minister is suspicious, and it is recommended to ask the imperial doctor to conduct an autopsy." Xiao Yi looked at the burnt hand again, still insisting on his opinion, and clenched his fists directly.
"Aunt Jane has plastic surgery for the queen...... Autopsy. Xuanyuan Rui responded to Xiao Yi's request.
However, people have burned their hair to the point that they are all black and short, and they can't distinguish the original appearance of their nose and eyes, and their skin is definitely not white, and it is meaningless to have plastic surgery, just to calm their own hearts.
Xiao Yi raised his eyes to look at Yang Jiaojian, who was kneeling on the side, hoping that he would also find out, Yang Jiaojian finally spoke, "Your Majesty, Xiao Yi is right to suspect, this corpse is not the queen's mother." ”
Yang Jiaojian's firm words were like a dose of anti-crying elixir, Xuanyuan Rui straightened up from his half-kneeling state after hearing this, and raised his tearful eyes to look at Yang Jiaojian.
This is his most hopeful sentence!
"Are you sure it's really not the Queen?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Jiaojian confirmed.
"A deformed scorched hand alone is not enough to prove, but what else is the evidence? Hurry on. Xuanyuan Rui lowered his voice and looked at Yang Jiaojian eagerly.
"This corpse is indeed a female corpse, but, Your Majesty, take a closer look at the palm of the corpse, rough and thick calluses, this is caused by frequent contact with hard weapons, the queen never holds a knife, holds a sword, never works, and the palm will not accumulate into a thick callus."
Xuanyuan Rui hurriedly pulled his gaze to the corpse, and broke the scorched hand, the corpse's hand was held, therefore, the corpse was all scorched, only a piece of clean skin in the palm of his hand that was not more than an inch, but it was already a piece of ripe skin.
Xuanyuan Rui's dim eyes froze, staring at the small piece of reddened skin, carefully observing for a moment, the whole person completely calmed down, "You two are right, this hand is indeed not Xiao'er's hand." ”
"Oh, thank goodness." An Zhaoyong's reaction was to kneel aside and worship the sky.
"Father-in-law An, don't make a noise." Yang Jiaojian intercepted An Zhaoyong's surprise and instructed in a low voice.
An Zhaoyong covered his mouth, "The slave forgot about it happily." ”
"Why can't you make a statement? I want to find the queen immediately, and I am extremely worried. Xuanyuan Rui glanced back at Yang Jiaojian and asked puzzled.
"Your Majesty, don't act hastily. When Weichen came in just now, he found a suspicious spot outside the door of the cold palace, there was a large oil tank stain on the ground next to the door, and it was obvious that someone poured oil on it and set fire to kill the queen. Yang Jiaojian finally confessed his loyalty to the emperor, even if this move was against the Li family, he had to find out the truth and protect the queen mother from being harmed.
"It's so bold that you dare to murder your mother." Xiao Yi whispered annoyed.
"Niangniang escaped by luck, and she must be frightened and hide and dare not show up. If the murderer learns that the person who died in the fire is not the queen mother, he will immediately find the queen mother and murder her again. Yang Jiaojian analyzed this, hugged his fists and made suggestions for the emperor, "The emperor should immediately send a large number of people to quickly find the queen mother and protect him in the name of finding the murderer." Therefore, the minister asked the emperor to leave in silence and take countermeasures after returning to the palace. ”
A wave of annoyance condensed in Xuanyuan Rui's eyes, and he suddenly stood up, "Someone is coming, immediately collect the corpse and place it properly." ”
"Yes."
The eunuch brought a bracket for collecting corpses, and carefully wrapped the charred corpses in a white cloth and carried them to the bracket.
Xuanyuan Rui wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, dispelled the sad emotions, and turned around and left the cold palace.
In the second half of the night, Yun Xiao woke up from a nightmare, very thirsty, and called out in a daze, "Aunt Feng, pour me a glass of water." ”
Li Yuan hurriedly got up from the ground and ran to the table to pour a glass of water, and then handed the water bowl into the tent, "Niangniang." ”
This voice was not Aunt Feng's voice.
Yun Xiao opened the bed tent vigilantly, and was surprised to see Li Yuan guarding the bed, looking up at the sky, it was not yet dawn, it should be Aunt Feng guarding by her side at this hour? Something wasn't right in this strange room either.
"Li Yuan, why are you? Where is this? ”
"Mother forgive sins, this is the residence of the slave." Li Yuan replied.
"How could I be sleeping in your room? What happened? Yun sat up suddenly, and the sleepy insect flew away in an instant.
"Niangniang, the cold palace is on fire, and the slave rescued Niangniang from the cold palace and placed it here."
"Huh!?" Yun Xiao gasped, stunned. Why did she sleep so deeply and not sleep at all when such a thrilling situation happened last night?
"Aunt Feng, she ......" Li Yuan choked back tears and was speechless in grief.
"How's Aunt Kaede? Injured? What are you going to say? ”
"Aunt Feng, she...... She was buried in the fire, woo......" Li Yuan cried as he spoke.
"What!" Yun Xiao sat up in amazement, and blamed Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, you can save me, why don't you rescue Aunt Feng." ”
"Mother, it's too late. The murderer got out of the smoke, Niangniang and Aunt Feng couldn't wake up, the fire was too big at that time, the beams of the house burned off the frame and fell straight down the fire lattice, the house was full of fireworks, the slave rescued Niangniang and the beam collapsed, the slave couldn't get in, and watched Aunt Feng being engulfed in the fire. ”
"Aunt Feng......" Yun Xiao called sadly.
The sudden disaster is shocking, and the murderer hiding in the shadows is unguardable.
Yun Xiao sat on the bed in fear, hugged her legs and cried on her knees, her weak body trembled slightly, and her whole person was surrounded by sadness and horror.
Li Yuan sniffed and choked up, "After the slave rescued Niangniang, I was afraid that the murderer was still nearby, and if they saw Niangniang escape, they would have to continue to harm Niangniang, so the slave hid in the dark and didn't dare to call people, and quietly took Niangniang out of the cold palace when the eunuchs came to the cold palace to save the fire palace gate." ”
"Niangniang, thanks to the slave who went to the cold palace to take a look, if he didn't go, Niangniang would also ...... It's so dangerous, woo...... It's a pity that Aunt Feng is gone. Li Yuan thought about Aunt Feng's goodness, and he was so sad that he didn't dare to cry, and he kept crying with sobs.
Yun Xiao had doubts in her heart, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to the cold palace in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Did you find out that someone was trying to harm me? ”
Li Yuan replied: "The slave doesn't know, just because the mother didn't eat at noon, the slave was worried about the mother and couldn't sleep, so the ghost sent the god to go to the cold palace to go around, and happened to find that it was on fire." ”
Yun Xiao sighed: "Li Yuan, thanks to you for remembering me in your heart and risking your life to rescue me, you are my savior, and in the future, I will not forget you." ”
"Niangniang has tormented the slave, and it is the slave's duty to protect the mother."
Li Yuan bowed, wiped away his tears and knelt in front of the bed, his sad eyes flashed with firmness, "Four years, when Niangniang left the palace, the emperor sternly taught the slaves to always put the safety of the Niangniang first, and the slaves remembered it for many years. At that time, the slave failed to follow the mother to protect the mother, and the slave always regretted it in his heart. The emperor couldn't find the mother, so he was anxious, and he punished the slave in a fit of anger. Unexpectedly, the slave will finally have the opportunity to atone for his sins, and the slave will abide by the emperor's teachings and carefully protect the good mother. ”
"Li Yuan, you and Aunt Feng are both loyal people, it is my blessing to meet the two of you, I will see people's hearts over time, and we will see the truth in adversity."
Yun Xiao said gratefully, thinking of Aunt Feng, she was in a sad mood, and she sobbed and murmured, "It's a pity that Aunt Feng died in vain, I can't repay her loyalty, the arsonist is coming at me, and Aunt Feng is the second three prayers by me." Li Yuan, find a way to bury Aunt Feng and Sanqi together, and let them be companions below. ”
"The minions do what they are told, and do their best. Don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death. Li Yuan persuaded the queen, but his emotions were very angry, "The damned murderer actually set fire to kill the mother." Aunt Feng is a righteous person, my most respected friend, but the good people suffer this misfortune, why don't the bad people be retributed, woo! "One
