Chapter 281: Who is the murderer
"Concubine Niang!" All the palace people knelt down again and saluted. [No pop-ups. 】( )
Long Xuanyu looked at Yan Yufang, who was smiling lightly, and frowned slightly: "The concubine is not feeling well, why is she here too?" ”
Yan Yufang took a brocade handkerchief and covered the corners of her mouth lightly: "The mourning family is in an uncomfortable mood, not a physical discomfort!" Such a big thing happened in the palace, and even the emperor came in person, can the mourning family ignore it? Raised his eyes, but looked at Xin'er in surprise, "Yo, who is this!" Your Majesty, this girl is so good-looking! ”
"Noodle students?" Xin'er asked rhetorically, "Does Niangniang really think Xin'er is raw?" ”
"Xin'er? Hehehe......" exaggerated smile, "You won't tell the mourning family, you are the third sister of the mourning family, the royal princess Yan Xin'er!" ”
"Yes, I am the royal princess Yan Xin'er! It doesn't matter if my mother recognizes me as a sister or not, as long as the emperor recognizes me! Xin'er smiled faintly, raised her eyes, and glanced at Long Xuanyu tenderly.
Seeing the eyes of Long Xuanyu and Yan Xin'er in love and exchange, Yan Yufang was both shocked and annoyed. Then he laughed even more exaggeratedly: "Ha, haha! Mourning family, mourning family heard me right! A murderer, will it be the royal princess? ”
"Concubine!"
"Concubine Niang!"
Long Xuanyu and Xin'er were stunned at the same time and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"Nonsense?" Yan Yufang raised her hand and pointed to Xiao Muzi's corpse, and said word by word, "Xiao Muzi was poisoned by this woman, and now she is pretending to be looking for the murderer here." In fact, the murderer is her! He raised his hand and pointed at Xin'er.
"......" For a while, the surrounding palace people were in a commotion. Obviously, the eyes that looked at Xin'er had changed color. It's just that because of the coldness and coldness of Long Xuanyu's face, no one dared to make the slightest comment.
Xin'er hooked the corners of her lips lightly, and walked over to Yan Yufang: "Concubine, if you want to pay attention to evidence, you can't spew blood." The emperor and the palace people of each palace are here, don't lose the virtue of the lord of the harem of the concubine! ”
"The mourning family just doesn't want to lose the virtue and reputation of the lord of the harem of the mourning family, so they specially come to expose your true face! You just said that Xiao Muzi died of poisoning, so tell me, when did Xiao Muzi die? "Deliberately asked.
Xin'er checked the corpse again: "According to the swelling of the corpse, it should have been when the night had just fallen last evening!" He died because he inhaled a poison in his mouth and nose, and then threw himself into the lotus pond. So, the body was swollen, but there was not too much water in his abdomen! ”
"Well said!" Yan Yufang praised it, and then shouted: "Ximei! ”
A maid came up with a tray containing a certain amount of water and a silk handkerchief spread out in it.
"Ximei, let this girl see, can she recognize this silk handkerchief?" Yan Yufang continued.
Xin'er stepped forward and saw at a glance a bunch of junzi orchids embroidered with silver thread on the silk handkerchief. chuckled: "Isn't this silk handkerchief the concubine's own?" I thought it had fallen somewhere, but it turned out that it was picked up by the mother again! ”
"In this way, the girl knows this silk handkerchief! May I ask how the girl would have decided on this silk handkerchief? ”
"Yesterday, when Niangniang went to the imperial study to deliver snacks to the emperor, the one I asked me to bring to the emperor should be this one!" She answered truthfully, and when she spoke, she suddenly realized something. Every time Yan Yufang asked, it seemed to have a purpose, and she took her words in one direction, as if she wanted to prove something.
Yan Yufang's eyes flashed with a smug chuckle: "Yes, it's exactly this!" However, the mourning family asked Xiao Muzi to bring to the emperor yesterday, how could it be a girl, you ......"
"Xiao Muzi who was in the imperial study yesterday is her!" Long Xuanyu also sensed Yan Yufang's intentions and said coldly.
"Good, good! Now that the emperor has confirmed it, that is to say, the little Muzi that the mourning family saw yesterday is the girl in front of him! However, what the mourning family doesn't understand is that two small wooden children appeared next to the emperor two days ago, one true and one false, it is said that the fake one has been locked up, why is it still here? ”
It turned out that this was Yan Yufang's purpose, she wanted to point out that she was the fake little Muzi in front of people in all palaces! Last night, Long Xuanyu did not punish her for the crime of bullying the king, but let Yan Yufang leave. Unexpectedly, she had already left her hands behind!
"Taifei, she is my wife, pretending that Xiao Muzi is just a farce! Could it be that the concubine is questioning me? Long Xuan's eyes were cold, and the hand in the robe squeezed fiercely.
Yan Yufang bowed very respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't you dare to mourn!" It's just a farce in the emperor's mouth, but it implicates two lives, is it still a farce? If, in this harem, any human life is gone, and everyone just regards it as a farce, is this still like words? ”
"You ......" Long Xuan Yuyi gritted his teeth, and there was a "click" sound in his fist under his sleeve. This Yan Yufang is so hard-hearted that she doesn't even care about him. However, in front of so many people, he, the king of a country, had to have some concerns.
Xin'er gently pulled his hand, raised her eyes, and still looked at Yan Yufang with a light smile: "Niangniang, I am indeed pretending to be Xiaomuzi!" However, Hongyan's death was not because of me, she committed suicide by taking poison. The death of this little Muzi has nothing to do with me! ”
"Is it really none of your business? In order to stay by the emperor's side as Xiao Muzi, you tried your best to get the real Xiao Muzi to die! Even if you are clever and deceive the emperor, you can't deceive everyone's eyes! His voice raised an octave and shouted, "Ximei, come out truthfully what you saw yesterday, and let the sisters of each palace judge together!" ”
"Yes!" Ximei replied softly, "Yesterday night just came, Ximei went to the imperial study to get back the tray and bowl and spoon for sending snacks according to Niangniang's instructions, because the bowls and spoons that held the food were Niangniang's favorite jade utensils. Unexpectedly, when I passed by the Imperial Garden, I happened to see Xiao Muzi's father-in-law walking towards this side. At that time, it was already late, and there were no other palace people walking outside. Ximei wanted to step forward to say hello, but suddenly saw a little Muzi's father-in-law walking out! The day before yesterday, I heard that there were two little Muzi fathers-in-law, and everyone thought it was a rumor, but they didn't expect to be met by Ximei. What shocked Ximei even more was that the father-in-law who came out from behind stepped forward in a few steps, and covered the mouth and nose of the father-in-law of Xiaomuzi in front of him with a brocade handkerchief in his hand. The little wooden man in front struggled a few times, and then he didn't move! At this time, Ximei was frightened and instinctively hid, not even daring to come out. Then, Ximei saw the little wooden child, dragged the other small wooden child to the lotus pond, and threw it down! It wasn't until that little Muzi had been gone for a long time that Ximei dared to come out. Ximei walked to the lotus pond, but saw the Jinpa that had also been thrown away. As soon as Ximei saw it, she knew that it was her mother's thing. Although I was panicked at the time, I still scooped up this Jinpa! After speaking, she took the tray with the brocade in her hand and asked the people around her to take a closer look.
"Doctor Hua, you can check it now, whether the poison on this Jinpa is the same as the poison in Xiao Muzi's body!" Yan Yufang's voice sounded again, and after those palace people, Imperial Doctor Hua really came over.
Doctor Hua took out the medical bag on his body, took out a silver needle and examined them separately, and respectfully walked to Long Xuanyu's side: "Your Majesty, the poison of these two is indeed a poison, Aconitum sinensis!" ”
"Your Majesty, yesterday the mourning family was summoned to the Yukun Palace, and the mourning family also asked Xiao Muzi for the brocade pa, but Xiao Muzi said that he lost it! Actually, she didn't lose it, and used the Jinpa of the mourning family to kill the real Xiaomuzi. Her purpose can be imagined! Yan Yufang bowed to Long Xuanyu again, "There are all human and material evidence, it was this fake Xiao Muzi who killed the real Xiao Muzi!" ”
"Smack, smack, smack!" Xin'er slapped her hands three times, walked in front of Yan Yufang, and said with a light smile, "Wonderful, really wonderful!" There is a witness, Ximei by the side of the concubine! Moreover, Ximei's narrative is detailed and complete enough! Isn't it a little strange that this is too detailed, though? Now that the night has fallen, Ximei stood far away, and she could still recognize that the two fathers-in-law were Xiaomuzi, and she could clearly see that she had died with a silk handkerchief covering her mouth and nose for a day! There is physical evidence, this silk handkerchief! Moreover, the poison on the silk handkerchief is the same as the deadly poison of Xiao Muzi! It's a pity that this silk handkerchief has long been thrown into the flower pot outside the imperial study! Why did it become a murder weapon? ”
Yan Yufang also hooked her lips and smiled: "This person's evidence and physical evidence don't count, does your word count?" You said you threw the silk handkerchief in a flower pot, who saw it, who can prove it? ”
Xin'er gritted her teeth, she threw the Jinpa in anger for a while, but she didn't expect it to become Yan Yufang's weapon to attack her. Since Yan Yufang dared to create such a big momentum, even Long Xuanyu didn't care about it, naturally after careful consideration, he was confident! However, she will never let her succeed easily!
"Yes, I threw the silk handkerchief and there is really no one to prove it! However, Ximei is also lying! He raised his hand and pointed at Ximei.
"Why do you say that Ximei is lying? She's a girl, there's no need for this at all! ”
"She is not necessary, but her master is necessary!" raised his eyes, still smiling at Yan Yufang.
Yan Yufang's eyes lit up: "Presumptuous, you dare to talk about the head of the mourning family!" ”
"Whether you are presumptuous or not, please ask my mother to answer me a few questions first!" Raised his steps and took a step closer to Yan Yufang, "Did Niang Niang say that she was in a bad mood this morning and wanted lotus leaf porridge?" ”
"Yes, the mourning family did mention it!"
Not only did Niangniang mention it, Ximei walked out of Niangniang's room and told the other palace people as well! So, Xiaoyan with a heart came to the lotus pond to find lotus leaves! In this palace, there is only one with lotus leaves, so Xiao Yan found Xiao Muzi's body! ”
"Yes, it is! Is there a problem? ”
