Chapter 141: Drowning
Jiang Tong's voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough to attract the attention of many people at this time.
They all looked at Shui Mist, so that Shui Mist knew what was going on, and it was difficult to say it, but they had to find a reason to prevaricate.
So he said, "It's someone out there who is drunk and making trouble, just deal with it, I'm sorry to disturb the prince and you." β
Jiang Tong's lips moved slightly, and he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and said, "It's okay." β
Shui Wuze was relieved to see that he didn't ask, but before he could finish his breath, he saw King Yi snap, put down the wine glass in his hand, and stood up from the chair.
Everyone's originally diverted attention was called by him again, and Shui Wuze was instinctively startled, and heard him say, "Who dares to make trouble at this time, go, this king will go and take a look, and lead the way." β
He didn't give Shui Wuze the slightest chance to refuse, and strode out.
As soon as he left like this, Shui Wuze had no choice but to follow, but the worry between his expressions could not be hidden.
Qu Youying leaned over to Mu Jingzhu and said in a low voice, "Something big has definitely happened." β
"I'll take a look, you stay."
He got up to go, but saw Qu Youying also stand up, she smiled, "I'll take a look, it will definitely not attract the attention of King Yi, don't worry." β
Mu Jingzhu knew that he couldn't stop her, so he nodded, so the two quietly walked out of the banquet hall and followed King Yi all the way.
Shui Lin Ze was a little faster than them, he deliberately let Mu Jingzhu and Qu Youying beside him follow, and for the other guests behind them, they were all stopped in the banquet hall, waiting by several other masters.
When the group arrived at the big garden not far from the banquet hall, there were already people from Shuifu surrounded there.
Through the light of the torches, it can be seen that in addition to the old lady, there are also four young ladies present.
It's just that two of them are lying on the ground, their bodies wet, and they look like they are drowning.
Two handmaidens knelt on the ground and pressed their chests. After a while, he shook his head in the direction of the old lady.
The old lady bowed her head and wiped away her tears.
And Shui Wuyue stood aside and cried in a low voice, and Qianxi stood not far from her, watching everything happen lightly.
"What's wrong?"
King Yi looked rough and had a magnificent voice, and as soon as he went out, he immediately disturbed the people present.
For a while, no one spoke, only the old lady in a wheelchair saluted King Yi and said, "King Yi." It was Immaculate and Qinyu who accidentally fell into the water, neither of them knew how to be watery, and when they were salvaged, they had beenβ"
Her voice was hoarse, she couldn't say any more, her eyes were red, and she lowered her head and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
"Okay, how do you fall overboard?" King Yi looked at the big pool, and then at the stone paved road on the ground, and said, "The pool is some distance from the road, even if it is blind in the dark, it should not fall into the water." Even if it does fall into the water, could it be that this pool is so deep that it can drown people? β
The old lady was too sad to speak, so she motioned to the grandmother next to her to answer.
"Back to the words of the prince. This pond used to be a cellar, and then it was transformed into a pond to raise flowers, and the two ladies were not familiar with water, and no one passed by here at that time, so they drowned. β
"How did the good guys get here? The king remembered that this was not the only way to get to the banquet hall. β
Yiwang had the appearance of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Qu Youying hid to the side, and also stretched out his head to look forward.
Judging from the deaths of the two people on the ground, it is indeed a sign of drowning, but to know whether there is anything special, an autopsy must be done to make it clear.
She wanted to ask Qianxi about the situation at that time, but unfortunately now was not the time, so she just watched silently with her eyes wide open.
King Yi's words, no one answered at the moment, because Lao Taijun and the others rushed over after hearing the sound of drowning.
So there was silence at the moment, and Yiwang was a character who had to answer questions, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and drink, "Don't you know the situation?" Whoever is their handmaid, come out? β
As soon as he roared, two maidservants came out, both of them with frightened eyes, standing in the darkness and trembling.
"Report your name!"
"The slave Xiaohong is the maidservant of the eldest lady."
"The slave maid Xiaofen is the maidservant of the third young lady."
"Tell me, what was the situation?"
"At the timeβ"
The two looked at each other, then plopped and fell to their knees.
Xiaohong trembled and said, "The slaves really don't know. At that time, the slaves and maids accompanied the young lady to the banquet hall and walked outside the garden, and the eldest lady and the third lady suddenly said that they wanted to go to the garden, and asked the slaves and maids to wait outside. The slaves did not dare to be disobedient, so they waited outside until there was a cry for help from inside, and then they ran in. β
Yiwang's expression was deep, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not, but continued to ask, "Who else was in the garden at that time besides you?" β
As soon as he said this, the two maidservants looked at each other again, then lowered their heads and fell prostrate on the ground, refusing to make a sound.
"Don't say it?" King Yi sneered, and immediately took out the prince's style, and said, "Come on, drag these two maidservants out and cut them down, and it is superfluous to keep the subordinates who are unfavorable to protect the master." β
"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!"
When the two heard that they were going to die, they cried and shouted.
Among them, Xiao Fen suddenly got up, pointed to Shui Wuyue, who was crying in a low voice, and said, "It's her, when the slaves and maids came in, they saw the second young lady's maidservant Ju'er on the edge of the pool." Lord, what the slave and maid said is the truth, if there is falsehood, the sky is thundering, please let the slave and maid go. β
"Ju'er?" Shui Wuyue, who had been sobbing in a low voice, heard the name of her maidservant, looked to the side, and said incredulously, "Ju'er, you say, what did you do to my sister!" Why don't you hide it? I said why I couldn't find you at that time, it turned out to be you, it was you who hurt my eldest sister and third sister, right! β
"I-I-"
Ju'er raised her head in a panic, looked at her master inexplicably in her eyes, opened her mouth, and wanted to speak, but found that her voice couldn't make a sound at all, so she could only widen her eyes nervously and shake her head desperately.
"What do you mean by that? If it weren't for you, you would have said why, why you were here at that time! Say! β
Although Shui Wuyue accused her servant girl of being a murderer, she felt that she was not credible, so her words were a little contradictory, after all, she was her own maidservant, and her approach was understandable.
But just as she stretched out her hand to pull Ju'er, Ju'er, who was shaking her head in a panic a moment ago, suddenly pulled off a hairpin on the top of her head and stabbed at Shui Wuyue.
Everything happened quickly, so Shui Wuze was relatively close to her at the time, pulled Shui Wuyue, slapped Ju'er's chest, and directly sent her flying.
Ju'er's back hit the rockery, spit out a mouthful of blood, struggled on the ground a few times, and then didn't move.
Someone stepped forward, checked her pulse, and said that she was dead.
Shui Wuze immediately asked King Yi for guilt, "Wuze is worried about the third sister, so he is too heavy, and please don't blame the prince." β
"It's okay, you're also a sister protector." King Yi looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the old Taijun's face, and said, "Taijun, since the murderer has been punished, then this matter is over." The death of the two young ladies, the king also felt deep pain, and hoped that the prince would mourn, and the king would order someone to take care of their funeral affairs in person. β
"So, thank you, lord." The old lady looked sad, obviously sad for the loss of her two granddaughters, but the matter had come to this, because it was impossible to go back to before, so she said, "This incident happened today, disturbing the prince's Yaxing, for this, the old body is deeply sorry, as for today's banquetββ"
"Tonight is Taijun's birthday, my father is very concerned, and he specially ordered the king to bring a lot of precious gifts, and instructed the king to let Taijun have an unforgettable birthday banquet. But now that this incident has happened, no one can predict it, in addition to letting Taijun mourn, he also hopes that Taijun can hide his sorrow first and finish the birthday banquet, otherwise this kind of thing, once it spreads, it will be difficult to explain the reputation of Shuifu. β
Yiwang's words are reasonable, and those present now can be said to be their own family members, in order not to be noticed, they can only hold a birthday banquet normally.
But I'm afraid that what should have been held at the banquet will be postponed.
"Yes, grandma, that's the only way to do it now." Shui Wuze soothed, "Sun'er, let's call a few henchmen to put the bodies of Wu Xia and Qinyu in place, and leave everything to Sun'er." β
The old lady nodded helplessly, patted the hand of the grandmother beside her, and planned to leave.
She was gone, King Yi also turned to leave, and the others would not stay longer and dispersed.
Qu Youying and Mu Jingzhu had been hiding in the dark from the beginning, and no one noticed them, but now seeing that everyone had dispersed, they also quietly left and returned to the banquet hall.
And from beginning to end, Shui Linze was the only one who looked at everything coldly, and as the son of Shuifu, he didn't say a word.
After the group had left, he turned around and went back to the banquet hall.
At that time, Xie Xiaoer saw Qu Youying and Mu Jingzhu coming back, and asked anxiously, "What happened?" β
"Shui Wufang and Shui Qinyu fell into the water and died, so far, it is said that the maidservants around Shui Wuyue killed them, but as for what the reason is, it is unknown, because the person is dead."
"Huh?" Xie Xiaoer was obviously taken aback, but he didn't care about them, "How is Qianxi?" Is she okay? β
"She's fine." Qu Youying gave herself a glass of water, as if she was very thirsty, and then said, "But I always feel that this incident happened very strangely, and the end was very hasty, as if it was arranged, so for the situation at that time, I think it is best to ask Qianxi." When the feast is over, we will go to her. β
As soon as he heard that he could go to Qianxi, Xie Xiaoer was very happy, "That's good." β
They whispered here, the guests and guests sat down, and the long-postponed feast finally began.
Although the same singing and dancing are sublimated and lively, it is obvious that this is all superficial and does not reach the bottom of the heart.
Just as Qu Youying expected at the beginning, no one put forward the original election intention of the crown princess and the decision of the heir, let alone take out the treasure of the Water Mansion and put it on the ancient scroll.
