Chapter 196: A Word Becomes a Connection

Before the words fell, Master Du's concubine Su Xiaolian walked in, Su Xiaolian was dressed in a white plain clothes, her face was a little haggard, she didn't sleep all night last night, and suddenly broke out of a thief in the middle of the night, coercing and luring, she had to say the planting method of the vine leaves.

And there is a large area in the backyard, and Lord Du also learned from Su Xiaolian's mouth that the leaves of the vine leaves can cause death, so he secretly bought some roots from the pharmacy and came back to plant them, and only used them to harm people after cultivating them.

It was the first time for Su Xiaolian to see such a big scene, the emperor and the monarch Li Guifei were there, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to say, and said with a panicked face: "The slut Su Xiaolian has seen the emperor and Li Guifei. ”

After Su Xiaolian finished saluting, she hesitated to look at Lord Du on the side, Lord Du glared at her and said angrily, "Who brought you here?" ”

Su Xiao wanted to speak, but closed his mouth again.

Lu Xiyi looked at Master Du and said unhurriedly: "Why don't you let Mrs. Su talk about this vine first, and first tell me where the leaves of the vine come from?" ”

Su Xiaolian raised her head slightly, with a graceful fluorescent light in her eyes, as if tears were about to pour out, which made people feel distressed, sure enough, Su Xiaolian looked so beautiful that people had to feel pity.

Su Xiaolian's courage is also very small, she was so frightened by Zhong Yihan last night that she shook out all the truth.

And today was also forced by Zhong Yihan to go to the court and explain the truth of the matter, Su Xiaolian lowered her head in a heavy voice, and said slowly: "The slut has indeed planted this kind of vine leaves, but she just appreciates it, and she doesn't use it to harm people."

It's just that a few days ago, my lord suddenly asked me for some to go, and I don't know what my lord is going to do. ”

When Master Du heard this, he was so angry that he almost whipped her in front of the big guy.

Stared at her with a pair of eyes as big as bull's eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, in front of the emperor and Niangniang, you'd better think and speak again!" ”

Su Xiaolian's timidity was very small, and she couldn't help crying out loud when she was so frightened, and her whimpering was upset.

Lu Xiyi stepped forward, handed a handkerchief and comforted: "Don't be afraid of Mrs. Su, just tell everything you know, the emperor and the concubine are both open-minded people, and they will definitely make decisions for you." ”

Su Xiaolian looked at the emperor with a bitter face, and pouted aggrievedly: "The slut did not participate in the murder of the prince of Wenguo, these things were done by Lord Du alone, if you want to blame, blame my master." ”

The reversal of this matter was too unexpected, and before Lu Xiyi could ask anything, she directly explained to Master Du, which was different from what she originally thought.

When the emperor and Li Guifei heard this, they looked at each other, and Lord Du knelt down in fear and said: "Your Majesty, this slut is talking nonsense, but don't listen to her!" ”

Without saying a word, the monarch of Wen Guo directly pulled out the saber in the hands of the guards beside him, and wiped it on Lord Du's neck, and blood was splashed on the spot.

The emperor closed his eyes, and Concubine Li was so frightened that she hurriedly blocked her face with a fan, and her delicate body trembled.

Lu Xiyi was also so frightened that he couldn't speak, and the court was suddenly silent, and Su Xiaolian saw Lord Du dead next to him, still dead, looking at her with a pair of godless eyes, and screamed in fright.

After the incident, Lu Xiyi returned to the side courtyard accompanied by Huck, Huck looked at Lu Xiyi with a depressed face and said, "This matter has passed, what are you still worried about?" ”

Lu Xiyi shook his head and said: "I don't think this matter has passed, and Mrs. Su is too strange, she suddenly pushed all this onto Lord Du, as if she had some grudge, the monarch's temperament was too impulsive, and before he could ask anything, he killed him directly." ”

Huck took a deep breath, "You can't blame our monarch, he really wants to avenge the crown prince, so he killed Lord Du on the spot, and the woman's testimony has no loopholes at all, plus the evidence has been found, and the human and material evidence are all there, so the monarch will immediately kill Lord Du." ”

Lu Xiyi recalled the bloody side just now, the air was about to freeze, and the sadness on his face gradually deepened, he looked at Hack and said: "I heard that you are also about to leave for Wenguo, thank you for this time, you are willing to believe in me and accompany me to find the truth." ”

Huck patted her on the shoulder and said, "What's this, if you have a fate in the future, remember to come to Wenguo." ”

"Okay, definitely."

Lu Xiyi watched Huck's figure walk away, returned to the room and pushed the door, and saw that Zhong Yihan was already standing by the window, she quickly closed the door and said, "Why are you here!" ”

Zhong Yihan turned around and said softly: "Of course I came to see you, I thought I was a step late, but I didn't expect the matter to end so soon." ”

Lu Xiyi sat aside with a sad face and said: "But I still think there is something strange, besides, your brother is also involved, and the murderer who killed the prince of Wenguo is not only Lord Du, but the monarch's heart is finally happy." ”

He sighed a little astringently, and his voice was tense and hoarse:

said: "This ending is already very good, if we continue to investigate, it is estimated that it is not so simple." ”

"Thank you anyway, how did you convince Mrs. Su?"

"In fact, Su Xiaolian is also greedy for life and afraid of death, and she is also very wealthy, she was just a courtesan on the painting boat back then, and later she was taken back to the house to be a concubine.

Don't look at her weak appearance, in fact, there are many ghosts in her stomach, she makes good use of poison, and she also bought some vine leaves in the old shopkeeper's pharmacy to plant, how many lives in Du's mansion were lost in her hands, and Lord Du just used this method to conspire with Zhong Yiqing to kill the prince of Wenguo. ”

Lu Xiyi gasped, and looked at Su Xiaolian in the court with a weak and unable to take care of herself, but she didn't expect that she was a poisonous woman with a femme fatale.

"What are you thinking?" Zhong Yihan looked at her depressed appearance, and knew that she was in a low mood from the moment she entered the door.

"It's nothing, there is always a bad premonition in my heart, but I can finally get out of the palace."

Zhong Yihan looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, Concubine Li learned that she was going out of the palace, so she deliberately set up a small banquet in the palace and invited her to come over to taste the wine. ”

"As soon as you leave today, the palace didn't want to call you into the palace frequently in the past, and it was also regarded as giving you a meal, there are too many things happening in the palace, so it's good for you to go to bad luck."

"Thank you, Lady Gui."
