Chapter 51: Murderous Intent
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Xuanye's face, after all, they were curious about what evidence she had.
Only Ao Xuan stared at Gan Peilin motionlessly. Although she was calm and couldn't see her emotions, he was still worried.
"Then don't wait." Gan Peilin took a light breath and looked at Lu Xuanye calmly: "Since Sister Lu has evidence, please present it in public." Let everyone understand. ”
Lu Xuanye's eyebrows were full of pride, she pushed away Yin Baowen who was in the way, walked straight to Gan Peilin, and grabbed her wrist. "I saw you rummaging through the study with my own eyes, and your hands are proof of the crime."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of King Shengqing's eyes flashed slightly, and his hands were folded in front of him.
Ao Xuan knew King Shengqing too well, and his habitual action showed that he had moved to kill.
Gan Peilin's face still didn't have any waves: "Sister Lu's words, presumably His Royal Highness still can't understand it." ”
"You don't have to pretend to be confused here." Lu Xuanye dragged Gan Peilin to King Shengqing: "Your Highness, her hands are stained with a kind of incense powder brought back from the Western Regions. The scent is faint but attracts ants. If you don't believe me, just have someone dig a nest of ants from the yard and scatter them on the table, and you will be able to see where she has moved. ”
"It's funny." King Shengqing raised his chin slightly: "The eldest lady doesn't mind, right?" ”
"Of course I don't mind." Gan Peilin had already guessed that Lu Xuanye would harm her in this way, and there was no turmoil in her heart.
The people below did things neatly, and the ants were placed on the table, and they soon found the smell that Lu Xuanye said, crawling densely on a few books, and they didn't even let go of the folds hidden in the dark drawer.
"Your Highness, you have seen it!" When passing by the corpse's side, Lu Xuanye shrugged his shoulders, obviously looking scared.
"Someone has indeed touched the king's things." King Shengqing's face was gloomy and a little scary: "But I don't know for what purpose." ”
"That's where you have to ask the person who started it." Lu Xuanye turned her face and glared at Gan Peilin viciously: "The courtiers just saw this scene with their own eyes, but they didn't know the motives of others. ”
Ao Xuan took advantage of everyone's efforts to observe the ants and carefully looked at the wounds of the corpse. The person who started the attack moved neatly, and it was indeed a one-shot death.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like Gan Peilin can do it. But what evidence is there to prove her innocence?
Concern is chaos, and his mind is really a mess.
"Miss Gan, do you have anything to say?" King Shengqing raised his eyebrows and looked at her excellent face.
Gan Peilin shook his head slightly, and just walked over and put his hands on the table.
For a long time, she looked at the ants coming and going motionlessly, and she couldn't see her mood at all.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Xuanye couldn't hold back and opened his mouth first.
Ao Xuan had already pulled the dagger from the corpse and walked over and placed it on the table.
Gan Peilin glanced sideways at him, and saw trust in his flashing eyes. This unnecessary concern made her very uncomfortable, and her head hung even lower.
"Your Highness, it's clear who is lying." Ao Xuan finally summed up such a sentence, and a pair of eyes glared at Lu Xuanye coldly.
"What do you mean by this?" Lu Xuanye was frightened by him, and she couldn't tell the difference: "I have already said that she can clean off the traces on her body after killing someone." Didn't you find any clothes now? What are you looking at me like that? ”
"If I kill people first, then wash off the traces. That dagger should also be stained with the Western Regions incense powder you said. But the dagger was on the table, and the ants were not interested. If I had washed the incense off my hands before I killed someone, where did the marks on this table come from? Gan Peilin frowned slightly, and his tone was a little cold: "You said that you saw me looking for something in the study, why didn't you stop me at that time, and didn't call someone to come." He also said that someone came in later, so when he came in, where did you hide to avoid being discovered by him? ”
"I ...... I'm under the window! Catch the thief and get dirty, I have to see what you take before I can call someone! Lu Xuanye was obviously lacking in confidence at this time.
"The most suspicious place. It's you, the Western Regions incense powder. Gan Peilin looked at her with a smile: "Could it be that you didn't know the prophet and knew that I was coming to steal something, so you smeared the incense powder on my hands in advance and deliberately caused me to leave evidence of the crime?" ”
"I ...... I don't have one. Lu Xuanye's face flushed: "I applied some myself, but I accidentally let you stick to ......"
"I remember." Yin Baowen suddenly spoke: "Before archery in the garden, I saw Sister Lu and a maidservant talking behind a tree. It is said that we are all the first to come back to the palace, and there can be no acquaintances...... I remember that there was a black tear mole under the right eye of the maidservant. ”
"Maid?" King Shengqing seemed to think of something, and bowed slightly to Ao Jue.
"Yes, Your Highness." Ao Yu led the guards and immediately withdrew to look for it.
"Your Highness, you believe me, I really saw with my own eyes that it was Gan Peilin who killed." Lu Xuanye gritted his teeth, and there was a deep resentment in his eyes.
King Shengqing's smile was a little more patient: "This king was negligent and let Miss Lu be injured in the palace. Wait a minute, the king will personally send the young lady home. ”
Stopping here, Lu Xuanye certainly understood what King Shengqing meant. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind ......"
She looked sideways at Gan Peilin's eyes, and her hatred did not diminish in the slightest.
"It's just that I hope you can keep your mouth shut about what happened in the house today." King Shengqing's words were said by looking at Lu Xuanye.
"Obey Your Highness's orders." Even though Lu Xuanye was stupid, he also felt the danger that was close at hand.
King Shengqing smiled from Gan Peilin and Yin Baowen: "I'm really sorry for sweeping the two young ladies' Yaxing." ”
"Your Highness is too worried." Gan Peilin showed a gentle and docile appearance: "It is an honor for the courtiers to come to the palace to increase their knowledge." ”
"Then let the two young ladies go home first." King Shengqing nodded slightly to Ao Su on the side.
"Yes." Ao Jue bowed his head, and his hanging heart was slightly lowered. Of course, he also understood why King Shengqing asked him to send it.
At the gate of the palace, Ao Xuan's cronies personally drove Yin Baowen back to the house.
Ao Xuan accompanied Gan Peilin to another carriage.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. You can find someone to give me a ride. Gan Peilin doesn't like to be alone with him, and always inadvertently remembers the past.
"Get in the car." Ao Xuan's face was not very good-looking, and his tone was not very stiff.
Gan Peilin didn't want to argue with him outside the palace gate, and today's matter was already troublesome enough, so he got into the car.
"Why did you offend Lu Xuanye?" Ao Su asked directly.
"Where did the offense come from?" Gan Peilin was a little unhappy: "She wants to harm me, do you still need an excuse?" ”
"Why doesn't she hurt others?" Ao Su will only blame when he is distressed.
But in Gan Peilin's opinion, he was simply quarrelling. "What does it have to do with you? Second son, this is my business! ”
"......" Ao Xuan was stunned, indeed, if you want to say this, this matter may have nothing to do with him. But he was very worried. "Do you know that His Highness has already moved to kill."
This sentence made Gan Peilin sober up a lot in an instant. Of course, Ao Su knew King Shengqing better than she did.
"The man who died was His Highness's secret agent." Ao Sue stopped here, and said no more.
But Gan Peilin fully understood what was happening today. There are so many people in the palace, and the secret agent went to the study at this time, presumably to collect important information, and he must be presented immediately. And he was killed in the study, and Lu Xuanye's brainless woman actually involved her.
These are all secondary, but the important thing is, what is the message that the agent wants to tell? And in whose hands did this news fall? Will King Shengqing suspect that this matter has something to do with Ganfu?
"You know you're scared?" Ao Su saw that she was silent for a long time, so she asked.
"It's all about you." Gan Peilin glanced at him unhappily. It so happened that he lifted the curtain to look at her, and the disgust contained in this glance was in full view.
"I saved you, and that's how you repay your father?" Ao Xuan looked at her with some taste.
"I never asked you to save me." Gan Peilin turned his face sideways: "What's more, I don't want to repay my kindness, I always mention it, which is inevitably immoral." ”
"You're making fun of me." Ao Su slowed down his horse, simply lifted the curtain and sat in the carriage, looking at the road ahead.
This made Gan Peilin very resistant, feeling that he had invaded her territory. "Second son, ...... you?"
"Jiang Yu's person is by no means as simple as you think. A single thought of him has cost thousands of lives. A heavy coolness flashed in Ao Xuan's eyes: "You'd better stay away from him." ”
Nonsense, do you still need to be reminded of this? Gan Peilin only pursed his lips and did not say anything.
"And Wu Wei......"
"Second son." Gan Peilin interrupted him: "Actually, I think you and Sister Chu Xue are very compatible. Instead of spending time on people who have nothing to do with you, it is better to cherish the people who are sincere to you. ”
These words were said very bluntly, Gan Peilin never knew that he could also say such heartless words to Ao Xuan.
Ao Xuan's straight back was obviously stiff, but the corners of his lips were suddenly raised: "The vinegar is so strong!" ”
"What?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be annoyed when he met his smiling gaze. "Forget it, you park, I'll hire a sedan chair to go back."
"How is that possible?" Ao Xuan straightened up and said seriously: "Get in my car, how can I easily let you get out of the car." ”
"......" Gan Peilin never knew that Ao Jue had such a scoundrel side. Thinking about how to talk back, the other party suddenly sat back in the car.
"Someone is following us." Ao Xuan said vigilantly: "You sit tight." ”
Before he could finish speaking, a fierce horse suddenly rushed out from behind him, and the man on the horse's back was holding a long sword and his eyes were fierce, and he was running straight towards their carriage.
Ao Xuan couldn't, so he could only drive the carriage into the side path to dodge.
"Don't walk in." It was too late for Gan Peilin to stop it. "It's a dead end."
In fact, her guess was correct, and there were already people in the Daozi waiting there with sharp blades.
