Chapter 109: Cause and Effect (2)

Because it involves the secrets of the palace, the door of the hall is closed tightly, and in the light invested through the doors and windows, the dust flies in a hurry, making the already tense atmosphere in the room add countless feelings of impatience.

Xie Tang's words in front of him made everyone pause. The emperor was furious and threw the tea cup next to his hand in front of Xiaoshuang. Zheng cried and was about to step forward to pull and beat Xiaoshuang, but fortunately, Jiang Shilang quickly grabbed it, and Zheng scolded angrily: "Xiaoshuang! Our Jiang Mansion treats you well, and you will take revenge! How can you be so vicious! She's still pregnant with a dragon heir......"

Xiaoshuang stood on the spot, and after a while, she came back to her senses, but she did not admit the crime, and said to Ji Erlan: "Even if this is the case, it may be someone else, why does Miss Ji say it is me?" I have no grievances with my master......"

"Are you really innocent and innocent of Lan Guiren? You suspect that Lan Guiren killed your sweetheart, don't you? ”

The hall was quiet, and even the Zheng family, who had just been crying, unconsciously restrained themselves and stared at Ji Erlan tightly, for fear that she would say something unfavorable to Lan Guiren. Xiaoshuang's face showed a mocking smile: "The slave has been with her master since she was a child, where will there be any sweetheart." ”

Ji Erlan took out a piece of paper from his bosom and put it in front of Xiaoshuang, the paper was already yellowed, and the neat but not delicate handwriting on it read, 'This medicine can cure Ling Gongzi's illness'. Ji Erlan said: "I have already made people compare, and this is your handwriting. If you don't like Xu Gongzi, why do you have to go to great lengths to seek medical advice and medicine in every possible way to cure Xu Gongzi's illness? ”

Xiaoshuang grabbed the piece of paper in her hand and trembled uncontrollably. Mrs. Xu, who had been standing in the corner, changed her expression and was stunned for a long time, but finally did not speak.

Xiaoshuang smiled lightly, and her voice was sarcastic: "Even if I want to, what can Xu Gongzi's illness mean?" Even if I like him, can it prove that I killed my master? Did Miss Ji just put the charge of murder on my head for the sake of meritorious service? ”

Ji Erlan was not angry, but just nodded to the people of Dali Temple. Immediately someone offered a pair of shoes in the style of a palace maid. The blood-stained indigo soft-soled shoe was first put on Han Jiang's feet, but it was the width of a little finger. Xiaoshuang's face turned pale, and she couldn't say anything when she saw that the shoe was just on her foot.

"The shoes that fell next to Lan Guiren were not Hanjiang's, but yours." Ji Erlan pointed to the shoe and said, "I think you remember, I asked you what happened to your foot that day. ”

The blood on Xiaoshuang's face faded, like a small fish that had been abused by the surging waves, adrift and embarrassed, losing everything to rely on.

Everyone's eyes were firmly on her, however, Jiang Shilang and his wife were afraid of causing something bad, so they didn't dare to reprimand her loudly like Fang Cai's side. The emperor saw that Xiaoshuang's face was like ashes, and he was irrefutable, and he was furious: "It's you!" It's really the Lan nobleman you killed me! ”

Xiaoshuang remained motionless, as if she was dead, but after a moment, she smiled happily: "It's me...... What if I killed her! She's vicious, she deserves to die! I didn't do anything wrong......"

Everyone didn't expect her to be so risking her life, and they all looked at each other immediately. The emperor was also stunned by the ruthlessness in her words: "What do you mean by this?" When did Lan Guiren be ruthless? She can't even bear to be trampled to death by insects and ants! ”

"Hmph...... Is it? The emperor really doesn't know anything about the person next to him......" Xiaoshuang snorted, and his tone was cold. She has no family, no body to worry about, and at this time she is already doomed to death, and she doesn't care about the fear of the superiors.

The emperor's complexion changed drastically, and he was about to be angry, but the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "Let her first explain in detail the process of killing Lan Guiren." ”

Xiaoshuang glanced at everyone, and finally fell on Ji Erlan, and said: "I have carefully planned for a few months, but I didn't expect that in just three days, I will be completely exposed by you......" She laughed at herself: "I deliberately chose the day of the Double Ninth Palace banquet, because everyone's attention is there, and my plan will go more smoothly." ”

She said slowly: "Since Lan Guiren is pregnant, I have told her intentionally or unintentionally that walnut cheese is commonly used, and the child in the womb will become smarter, so that she can develop the habit of using walnut cheese." So the kitchen keeps several servings of walnut cheese every day so that she can eat it whenever she wants. ”

The emperor said coldly: "Hmph, you are really well-intentioned. ”

Xiaoshuang was no longer afraid, and said eloquently: "That day, when the Lan Guiren came back from the palace banquet, they said that they wanted to rest, and I deliberately rubbed it for a while, wanting to wait for everyone to go down to rest, and remind the Lan Guiren to use walnut cheese for one night before sleeping." I didn't expect her to take the initiative to mention it herself, and I said in my heart that God will help me, so I turned around and walked out of the palace gate, made a movement, and led Hanjiang out to check ......"

Hanjiang's face turned pale, as if she still didn't believe that Xiaoshuang was the murderer at this time, and she asked, "The cat...... You deliberately used it to scare me? ”

"Yes, the cat has just given birth to a cub, and it's time to forage for food. I fed the dried fish for a while, and every day under that tree, at the same hour, so the cat came every day. On the day of Lan Guiren's accident, I added insect repellent medicine to the dried fish and poisoned the kittens. I thought, if you find a cat corpse, you will inevitably call someone to deal with it. Add to that the distance you have to go back and forth, and I'll have plenty of time to do it. And I only needed a short cup of tea to complete the plan. ”

Han Jiang shook his head: "If there is only the corpse of the kitten, I will definitely call someone to deal with it first, and then go back to call the master." But I was first frightened by the big cat, maybe she came looking for her child, I was afraid that she would pounce on me, so I retreated, thinking that I would reply to the master first, and then go and ask someone to drive the cat away......"

Xiaoshuang sneered: "Even though you came back a little earlier, I still killed her very smoothly." You stepped out of the door, and I dodge into the house. Lan Guiren was walking around the house because of anxiety, and I took advantage of her unpreparedness to knock her unconscious. Originally, I was going to kill her with one sword, but looking at her high bulging abdomen, the hatred in my heart was rolling in, why did innocent people suffer because of her, but she was so alive and enjoying glory here? ”

"So I squatted on top of her head, rolled up my sleeves high, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and stabbed her in the abdomen with the other with a knife."

"You're ...... How dare you treat the dragon heir like this! The emperor's face was pale, and the fingers pointing at Xiaoshuang were trembling.

Xiaoshuang was full of sarcasm, as if the child conceived by Lan Guiren, even if it was a dragon heir, was just a curse. She said: "I had just put the blood-stained dagger in a pool of blood, but I heard footsteps outside, and I knew that it was Hanjiang who had returned, so I had to retreat immediately. However, Lan Guiren's wound was so great that blood flowed all over the ground and got on my shoes. This was really unexpected to me. In a daze, Xiaoshuang had already walked in, and in a panic, I took off my shoes and hid behind the curtain in my hand. ”

"Who knows, I'm so lucky. As soon as Han Jiang saw Lan Guiren's corpse, he was so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits were about to fly away, where would he notice that I was hiding in the dark. She ran out of the belt without even knowing that her shoes had fallen off. The corners of Xiaoshuang's lips showed a smug smile, and said: "I saw the opportunity, and immediately took off my shoes and was still in the hall, and instead jumped out of the back window wearing Hanjiang's shoes." Then he washed his arms in the spring water, and took the food box hidden in the bush beforehand and went around to the temple gate. ”

"I dropped the food box to attract everyone, and then rushed into the hall to see the corpse of Lan Guiren, firstly to make a show, and secondly, to see if there was anything wrong. Sure enough, everything was seamless. Apart from...... Those shoes ......"

After Xiaoshuang finished speaking, her face returned to calm, as if she was just waiting to be disposed of.

Empress Dowager Song didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that she fulfilled Xiaoshuang's evil deeds. "Your audacity is truly shattering! After doing this kind of thing, you dare to take the initiative to report the news? ”

Xiaoshuang was expressionless and said: "Hanjiang's feet are smaller than mine, I wore her shoes that didn't fit, I ran to the palace banquet and ran back, and my feet were worn out, I didn't expect Miss Ji to be as careful as a hair, and even noticed this." ”

Her nonchalant attitude seemed to greatly irritate the emperor, and he shouted: "You evil slave, why do you want to sit down for such evil things! ”

"Hmph, Jiang Yun left his childhood sweetheart fiancΓ© for the sake of glory and wealth! He still wants to kill people! If you don't kill her, how can you relieve the hatred in my heart? ”

Jiang Shilang and his wife's faces immediately changed greatly, and Zheng immediately accused: "Xiaoshuang, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

With a shout of questioning, the eyes of everyone present were drawn to the couple, and the anger on their faces was immediately mixed with a bit of inexplicable weakness and embarrassment. Xiaoshuang heard this reprimand and wanted to ridicule back, but she heard Mrs. Xu take the lead and say, "I think she is not talking nonsense!" ”

Zheng glanced at her and wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to say more.

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Ji Erlan. Ji Erlan immediately replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Jiang Mansion and the Xu Mansion are world friends, and Lord Xu has let go of the foreign post at this time." This is Mrs. Xu. ”

The emperor squinted at Mrs. Xu and said, "The fiancΓ© of Fang Cai Xiaoshuang's childhood sweetheart must be the son of the Xu Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Xu is just a native of Liupin'an, and she has never met the holy driver, so she was a little frightened, she bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "Courtesy Wang, please say hello to the emperor, please say hello to the queen mother." ”

The emperor was silent with a calm face, and the queen mother was silent for a moment, looked at Ji Erlan and said: "They are not clear for a while. It's up to you. ”
