Volume 1 The Orphan Girl of the Imperial Capital Chapter 106 The Murderer
When Mu Yunlan came to her senses, she only felt a splitting headache, and she raised her hand to rub her head, but found that she was holding a dagger in her hand, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly threw the dagger on the ground and looked around.
She was in a slightly old room, the room was full of blood donations, even her hands and body were stained, and the thick smell of blood made people want to gag.
Not far away, a woman was lying on the ground, a pool of bright red blood was spreading under her, and it seemed that she had just died not long ago.
She didn't have time to think about it, she just knew to leave quickly! However, before she could struggle to get up, the closed door was slammed open, and then the screams rang out.
"Come on, go in and see, who is lying on the ground?"
The palace people entered the door and turned over the woman lying on the ground: "This is ...... It's Miss Mujia! ”
"What?" Jin Concubine walked in with a pale face, "Where is Qingyao?" ”
"Niangniang, you can't come in, Miss Mu Da's current appearance...... It's ......."
Mu Qingyao's eyes were wide open, her scarred face was distorted into a terrifying arc, and blood was flowing out of her torn chest and waist and abdomen.
"Ah, Mu Xiangjun!"
The dagger in her hand...... Mu Xiangjun killed Miss Mu! ”
Jin Concubine walked in and saw Mu Yunlan leaning against the wall, her face was full of disbelief: "Yunlan, why are you ...... Why are you acting so confused, Qingyao is your own sister, how can you ......"
Yue Jingyun, who was dressed in a dragon robe, walked in, and when he saw the terrifying scene in the room, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Concubine Jin hid her face and wept softly: "Your Majesty, Qingyao is my niece, and Yun Lan is my future daughter-in-law, this ...... This really makes the concubine not know what to do, today's matter looks really strange, please be sure to investigate the truth. ”
Yue Jingyun's eyes were angry, there were too many things that happened during this time, and since the beginning of the New Year, one by one, one by one, has not stopped.
Especially recently, first the second prince was deposed as a eunuch, and then Mu Qingyao was unwilling to marry him as the second prince's concubine, so he turned to obsessed with the third prince and lost face in front of many officials, over there Emperor Lin was looking for him, hoping to dissolve the marriage contract between Mu Yunlan and the third prince, and here Mu Yunlan killed Mu Qingyao!
"Mu Yunlan, Mu Qingyao is your eldest sister, why do you want to kill her?"
Mu Yunlan struggled to stand up, but unfortunately she didn't have the strength in her body. The two palace maids who followed Jin Concubine stepped forward quickly, grabbed her arms one left and one right, and helped her up.
In the gap where her vision was hidden, Mu Yunlan felt that the palace maid on the left reached out and wiped it under her nose, and a burst of coolness entered her brain, and the lost strength slowly returned to her body.
She was completely framed by someone, at the beginning Jin Concubine announced that she would enter the palace, and she saw her in a daze, just to make her unsure of what she was going to do, and then relax her vigilance, and the chamberlain who gave her her grandfather jade pendant must have also been arranged by Jin Concubine!
"Yun Lan, you honestly tell the emperor what the hell is going on. If you are really wronged, the emperor will definitely return your innocence. Jin Concubine said earnestly.
Mu Yunlan raised her eyes, her dark eyes seemed to have been filled with starlight, which made people feel a coldness from the bottom of her heart for no reason, she walked in front of Yue Jingyun and saluted respectfully:
"Back to the emperor, when I was about to leave the palace, I was drugged, I didn't know what happened, and when I woke up again, I appeared here, and a dagger was stuffed in my hand, I was still confused, you and Concubine Jin arrived, as for what happened here, I don't know at all."
"You said you were stunned?" Jin Concubine was puzzled, "This is the palace, there are palace people and guards everywhere, not to mention stuning a person, and then carrying it to other places, it is a mosquito flying by, I don't know how many pairs of eyes can see, Yun Lan, you have to be more thoughtful when you lie." ”
Mu Yunlan's heart moved, she was indeed stunned, why was Jin Concubine's attitude so calm after she said it, could she be 100% sure that no one had found the flaw?
Concubine Jin looked at Yue Jingyun: "Your Majesty, although the concubine doesn't believe what Yun Lan said, but for the sake of safety, let's find a doctor to help her take a look, if there are really traces of Chinese medicine, it can prove that what Yun Lan said is true." ”
"Go to Doctor Xuan." Yue Jingyun commanded coldly.
"Your Majesty, the scene in this room is really terrifying, the bloody aura is so strong, it won't be good if it damages your dragon body, let's go outside." Jin Concubine's gentle persuasion.
"Hmm."
Mu Yunlan was looked at by the palace maid and walked out, but when she turned around, she found that there were still two palace maids staying in the room: "Concubine Jinniang, those two palace maids are your people, let's let them all come out, what happened in the room is not clear, in case the two accidentally touch something and destroy the scene, it will be difficult to investigate in the future." ”
Concubine Jin's fingers paused slightly, and she hurriedly scolded: "Are you two stupid?" Don't come out yet. ”
The two palace maids hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave maid deserves death, but the situation in the room is too terrifying, and the slave maid did not react." ”
Yue Jingyun said impatiently: "Retreat." ”
Mu Yunlan lowered her eyes, her eyes were as deep as ink: the two palace people clearly wanted to do something in the room, but as soon as they were reminded by Concubine Jin, they immediately changed their words.
Soon the imperial doctor rushed over, stepped forward to help Mu Yunlan diagnose the pulse, and replied: "Back to the emperor, the old minister is incompetent, and no trace of the drug in Mu Xiangjun's body has been found. ”
Yue Jingyun's breath became cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Mu Yunlan, what else do you have to say?" ”
Mu Yunlan looked at Jin Concubine and did not miss the smugness that flashed in her eyes:
"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on, Mu Qingyao and I are sisters, her face is ruined, and there is no threat to me, I am now the countryman you personally gave the title, my identity is more noble than her, and my future is bright, why do you do such a thankless job?"
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if I really regard Mu Qingyao as an enemy, can't I find someone else to get rid of her, I have to go into battle myself, and I also chose the location in the palace? Your Majesty, please be aware of it. ”
Mu Yunlan knelt on the ground, her expression calm and steady, without the slightest flustery or uneasiness.
This kind of performance made Yue Jingyun can't help but believe her words, indeed, Mu Qingyao is already equivalent to a waste, and it is very simple to deal with her, why bother to go into battle yourself.
"What people!" The Praetorian Guards guarding around suddenly snorted coldly, and the two palace maids who were watching not far away fell to their knees with a thud.
Yue Jingyun: "Bring it here." ”
The two palace maids were pulled over, knelt on the ground and trembled incessantly: "The slave maid has seen the emperor." ”
Jin Concubine reprimanded coldly: "It is disrespectful to watch the whereabouts of the emperor above, and it is to be dragged down by the nine clans, come and drag them down!" ”
"No, the emperor, the concubine, the slave and the maid have something to report, not disrespectful to the emperor."
"Wait," Yue Jingyun looked over, "what's the report?" ”
"Your Majesty, does the slave know what's going on in the room?"
"Speak!"
"Yes, the slave and maid are the inferior palace maids who are responsible for cleaning these two courtyards, and after the two slaves and maids finished cleaning the courtyard, they happened to see Mu Xiangjun and the eldest lady of the Mu family having a dispute, and the two of them were pushing and shoving, and the slave and maid were afraid of being punished by the nobles, so they hurriedly hid in the flowers not far away. Then I saw Mu Xiangjun push Miss Mu Da into the courtyard over there, and then what happened, the slaves and maids didn't know. ”
Jin Concubine's tone was stern: "Can you see clearly? The matter involves two noble girls, if they are framed at will, they will be killed! ”
"Back to the emperor, back to the mother, even if the slave and maid have great courage, they don't dare to deceive the king." The two palace maids knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"Yun Lan, what else do you have to say now?" Jin Concubine looked distressed, "You are really confused, Qingyao's appearance is ruined now, and her identity is not as good as yours, even if your sisters in the past were not harmonious, they should not be killed." ”
Mu Yunlan raised her eyes: "Concubine Jin, the matter has not been clarified yet, how can I listen to your meaning, and it has already been determined that I killed Mu Qingyao?" You say this, under the preconceived idea, what should you do if the emperor is misled by you? ”
"Yun Lan, I know that you must have been impulsive, it has come to this point, you still don't admit it, do you have to wait until the emperor interrogates you with torture before you tell the truth?"
Mu Yunlan ignored her, thinking quickly about what happened, hoping to catch a little clue to prove her innocence, but at this time, her mind was chaotic and tight, and she couldn't understand anything.
Concubine Jin looked slightly annoyed: "Your Majesty, look at her......"
"Come on, stay Mu Yunlan and put him in the prison for the time being, and wait until the matter is clear." Yue Jingyun waved his hand, and asked people to take Mu Yunlan down, the matter involved Wei Guogong and Emperor Lin, and he couldn't easily draw conclusions, so he could only investigate and talk about it step by step.
"Your Majesty, I didn't kill anyone......" Mu Yunlan hurriedly raised her head.
Yue Jingyun turned around and left, not listening to Mu Yunlan's defense at all.
He didn't notice anything wrong, he just didn't care, did the death of ten or one hundred Mu Qingyao have an impact on him, the emperor?
No! Therefore, in the case of a suspected murderer, it is enough to give Wei Guogong and Lin Dishi an explanation.
Jin Concubine stepped forward to block her, raised her finger to her lips, and sighed softly: "Now you don't admit your sins, then go to the prison to admit it, the result is the same anyway." ”
After Jin Concubine finished speaking, the corners of her lips hooked up and she let out a chuckle, and the pleasure in her heart almost overflowed: Mu Yunlan dared to design to let Mu Qingyao entangle Xiao Han and make her son speechless in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, then she must die!
An orphan girl with no father and no mother, she was so fascinated that Xiaohan contradicted her several times, and even changed her marriage date, and when she was married, her children were so obedient and never disobeyed her, so all this was the fault of Mu Yunlan, a slut!
Oh, now it's okay, if you enter the prison, don't think about coming out alive again!
