Chapter 50: Flying Disaster
Outside the study in the inner courtyard of the south wing, it is heavily guarded by sword guards.
King Shengqing walked over, his face was already slightly displeased.
"Don't look at when it is. A bunch of idiots, you're clearly telling people that something is wrong! ”
"Subordinates should be damned." The leader of the guards couldn't raise his head when he reprimanded him, but his voice was full of fear: "The things are gone, the people have been killed, and the subordinates are really worried about missing any clues, so they will arrange for them to guard here." All the people in the house remained in the house, and not a single one left. ”
Ao Yu, who had settled the guests, hurried over and was stopped outside the inner courtyard by the guards.
"Your Highness, I have something important to tell you below."
King Shengqing nodded slightly, letting people go.
"The Metropolitan Governor is out of the house." Ao Yu said succinctly: "Just left." ”
"Jiang Yu." King Shengqing glanced back at the corpse in the study, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Is it him?" ”
"Brother." When the eighth prince Xuanyan came over, his face couldn't help but be cold: "Someone went to ask, and said that someone saw the daughter of Ganfu come to this courtyard." ”
"Gan Peilin?" King Shengqing remembered that she said she wanted to change her clothes and withdrew. There were so many people at the time of the arrow, but she was the only one who was late. "Ao Yu, don't alarm anyone, please come over. Keep checking and see if there's anything wrong with the house. ”
Ao Yu gave up his hand and quickly returned to the Jade Banquet Hall.
He had to think of a less abrupt way to ask Gan Peilin to leave for a while.
At this time, Gan Peilin was eating lunch and talking with Yin Baowen, and both of them were very curious why they didn't see Lu Xuanye.
The person sitting next to Jiang Chengfeng was someone else's girl.
"Ao Gongzi." Yin Baowen saw him coming over, and smiled slightly apologetically: "It's a sudden son." ”
"Miss Yin, what's wrong?" Ao Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Sister Lu came with me, but I didn't see her at this time. I don't know if Childe can see her? Yin Baowen showed a worried look.
sent the people around him to ask Jiang Chengfeng. said that Lu Xuanye went to change clothes. Ao Yu had an idea, stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid that there is any inconvenience, so Miss Lu didn't come over in time." Miss Gan has just gone to change her clothes, can you go and look for it again? ”
This sounds like this, because Gan Peilin has been there, so let her go again.
But when you think about it, something is completely wrong. The huge Shengqing Palace, if you want to find someone, it will not be the turn of a guest to find it.
Gan Peilin and Yin Baowen glanced at each other and nodded in agreement: "It's okay." ”
"I'm with me, too." Yin Baowen didn't worry about her going by herself, so she got up immediately.
"Miss Yin is not as good as ......" Ao Yu's words were not finished.
Yin Baowen had already taken Gan Peilin's hand and walked out together.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine." Gan Peilin knew that she had good intentions, but the situation seemed to be wrong, so it was better to implicate her for no reason. "You'd better take a seat later."
"If you are the only one who goes with him, you will inevitably be discouraged." Yin Baowen smiled at her gently: "I don't have to do anything." ”
Ao Yu couldn't insist anymore, so he could only take the two of them to the south chamber.
As soon as he stepped into the threshold of the South Chamber, Gan Peilin's keen sense of smell noticed something unusual. It was a hint of blood mixed with the fragrance of flowers. It seems that something big has happened to the Shengqing Palace.
"Two young ladies, please stay." Ao Yu frowned slightly: "Let me go to His Highness Ming." ”
"Okay." When he entered the door, Gan Peilin held Yin Baowen's hand: "Sister, wait for me here later, okay?" It's safer not to go in. "Today's Yin Baowen is only fifteen years old, but I am afraid that I have never seen a bloody scene.
"How?" Yin Baowen saw her blocking, and her heart jumped suddenly: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Two young ladies, please inside." Ao Yu went and returned, leading the two inside.
Ao Xuan also rushed over at this time, and although he was stopped outside the inner courtyard, he could always hear something. His Highness suddenly saw Gan Peilin here, how could he not be worried.
Your Highness. The two girls saluted together.
King Shengqing stood outside the door of the study, looking at their expressions with a calm face. "Miss Gan, don't mind, this king just has a few words to ask."
"Your Highness, may I ask." Gan Peilin met his gaze as usual, only feeling that such a gaze was a little more majestic.
"Did you come to Nanyuan to change your clothes?" King Shengqing looked at her with a frown.
"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded: "It was the maid in the house who led the way and brought me over." ”
"Have you been to the rest of the South Wing?" King Shengqing tried to make his tone sound as ordinary as possible, so as not to make her wary.
"If you go back to Your Highness, no." Gan Peilin said with a natural expression: "After all, I am a guest, how can I enter and leave an unfamiliar place without the permission of the host." ”
"The rules of Gan have always been the strictest. Da Sima also attaches the most importance to this. Ao Yu had to help beside him.
King Shengqing didn't make a sound, and asked again: "Eldest Lady, have you ever seen anyone else come here?" ”
Gan Peilin shook his head: "The study for changing clothes is outside this courtyard, in the side wing room at the entrance of the south wing. I have not come in, nor have I seen anyone come in or out of here. ”
"Hmm." King Shengqing fell into deep thought. It is said that a boudoir lady will indeed not easily set foot in his study. Unless she really came to the palace for a purpose.
"Does the eldest lady mind letting the slave and maid look at your palm for the king?"
Where this is a question, it is clearly an order.
Before Gan Peilin nodded, the maid had already walked to her side.
She flipped her hands over and spread them out so that the servant could see clearly.
The servant even carefully checked the gaps in her fingernails before stepping aside and shaking her head at King Shengqing.
No traces of blood were found, nor traces of the blades left by the practice blades. A woman who doesn't know martial arts and has no motives is naturally not so suspicious. "I'm tired of the eldest lady." King Shengqing was a little modest: "Wait a minute, let ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a commotion outside.
It's like the guards found a suspicious person, and they grabbed it with all their hands and feet.
Ao Xuan is also smart, so he took this opportunity to come in with the guards.
"Your Highness, a girl ran out of the outer compartment, sneaky and didn't know what the intentions were." The leader screwed the man up with a stiff face.
Gan Peilin and Yin Baowen turned their heads and were surprised to find that the person was actually Lu Xuanye.
"Your Highness, it's her, it's her who knocked me out." Lu Xuanye twisted his body desperately, trying to break free. "It's her, the daughter of the Gan family, it's she who knocked me out."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Ao Xuan suddenly became alert. The daughter of the Lu family, why did she frame Gan Peilin? Gan Fu and the Lu family have no grudges.
"Let her go." King Shengqing gave an order, and Lu Xuanye was released. "You said it was the eldest lady of Ganfu who stunned you? What the hell is going on? ”
"I just wanted to compete with Jiang Gongzi, but I was pushed down by a woman and stained my clothes." Lu Xuanye said angrily: "So I had to ask someone to bring me over to change my clothes." How do you know that the maid is also careless, and the clothes she brought are torn. Then how can I wear it, I can only wait here for her to change it. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xuanye glared at Gan Peilin with a pale face: "It's boring to wait, I just walked around this courtyard, and I happened to see her sneakily into the inner courtyard." I had to follow up quietly, saying that I knew that she had entered the study and closed the door, and after a while, another person walked in. I've been hiding outside to hear what's going on. Who knew the door wasn't closed, and I saw her stab the man to death. I was terrified...... There was a scream. She spotted me and chased me out. I ran as hard as I could, and when I got outside, I tripped and stumbled, and the back of my head hurt and I fainted. When I woke up, I was lying in the closet of that room...... Your Highness, Your Highness, you have to be the master for me, I don't want to be killed. ”
"Sister Lu, this is a life-threatening matter, you can't talk nonsense." Yin Baowen's face turned blue when she heard her say this. "Sister Gan went back to the yard of the arrow after changing her clothes, where is the time to talk about these things you did."
"Miss Yin, don't worry." King Shengqing frowned slightly: "This king naturally won't listen to one side of the story." I just don't know, what is Miss Gan's explanation? ”
Ao Xuan's heart was in his throat. He was eager to step forward and argue for her. It's a pity that there is no evidence in her hand to prove her innocence, and if she opens her mouth rashly, she is likely to be suspected together. It's even harder to save her.
"Why doesn't Miss Gan say anything?" King Shengqing had already shown impatience.
"Your Highness." Gan Peilin glanced thoughtfully at the wing room behind him: "I don't know if you have examined the wound of the deceased." If it was really as Sister Lu said, he was killed by a knife, and he didn't even have time to shout for help, he must have been stabbed in the heart. If you start in such a position, one requires great accuracy, the second requires great strength, and the third is ...... The murderer's hands, sleeves and even chest may be more or less stained with blood. But Peilin is innocent, where is there any blood? ”
"Do you think everyone else is a three-year-old?" Lu Xuanye gritted his teeth and said, "You were originally here to change clothes." Kill people first, then change clothes, wash away the blood stains on your hands, and naturally there will be no traces. If you don't believe me, just ask Your Highness to have someone check your changed clothes. If it's gone, or if there's blood, then you're at a loss for words. ”
"Your Highness will naturally find out." Gan Peilin was in danger, and his expression was pleasant: "But I still have a question." Sister Lu said that you fell to the ground, and the back of your head hurt and fainted. But if I am really a murderer, don't I have a knife in my hand? Why do you have to change into a heavy object, hit you in the back of the head, and stuff you into some closet, waiting for you to wake up and accuse me of being the murderer. Why don't I just stop it, so you don't have a chance to speak? Sister Lu, not everyone is as stupid as you, even if you want to frame others, you have to have a set of watertight arguments, right? ”
"You're less complacent." Lu Xuanye took a step forward and shouted at her: "Who knows why you didn't stop talking, but if I saw it, I saw it!" And I have other proof! ”
