Knowing from Mu Lingzhi's mouth about the evil star and the rumors about her from the outside, Yu Ruyan's heart was cold, but there was no sad look on her face, and after listening silently, she looked up at Mu Lingzhi who was worried and smiled: "Okay, I know, Your Highness can go back to the palace to guard the prince's seal ceremony, this time ---- really can't make any mistakes!" ”

At this time, the great eunuch beside King Liang personally came to the palace to announce Mu Lingzhi's entry into the palace, presumably the movement at the door of Jing Zhaoyin just now had alarmed King Liang. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Mu Lingzhi really didn't worry about Yu Ruyan, and wanted to stay by her side to guard her personally, but Yu Ruyan urged him to go, and said: "Your Highness has openly disobeyed Your Majesty once, if you resist the decree and don't enter the palace, I'm afraid that it will really anger your father." ”

Thinking of what happened in the morning, Mu Lingzhi knew that it was time for him to enter the palace and explain it to his father, lest his father really get angry, but he was afraid that it would be her who would be affected by the time.

He sighed helplessly, told her to rest well, and not to think about last night's events again, and said, "I'll keep you asleep before entering the palace." ”

In order not to let him rest assured, Yu Ruyan closed her eyes and lay down, Mu Lingzhi helped her cover the quilt, really stayed by her bedside, and waited until she fell asleep before releasing her heart and following the big eunuch into the palace.

As soon as he left, Yu Ruyan, who was obviously sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, turned over and sat up.

Brother An was instructed by Mu Lingzhi to guard her all the time, and when he suddenly saw her wake up, he was startled and worried: "What's wrong with the princess?" But what's uncomfortable? Do you want to call Dr. Wu here? His Royal Highness specially instructed him to stay in the annex during this time, in case of emergency."

"Brother An, can you ask someone to bury Dongcao" When she thought of Dongcao's tragic death, Yu Ruyan's heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe, and she had so many things in her heart, how could she sleep?

But she also knows. Now Mu Lingzhi is embattled and more tired than her, so she doesn't want to worry about him anymore, so she can only pretend to be asleep and let him enter the palace with confidence.

Speaking of Dongcao, Brother An was also teary-eyed, crying: "Princess, I have gone to Jingzhaoyin to lead people before the copper coin, but they said that Dongcao is a suspect in arson, and they want to keep her body in Jingzhaoyin to investigate the case."

"Arson suspects?" Yu Ruyan looked at Brother An in surprise, and Brother An said while crying: "Yes, listen to Jing Zhaoyin's official mission." When Dongcao's body was found, she had a jar of fire oil next to her, and she also had a fire glitter on her body, saying that she was a suspect in arson! ”

Yu Ruyan looked at Brother An with a shocked expression, and couldn't help shaking her head, her mind was foggy. Brother An was also full of confusion, and couldn't help but say again: "Princess, not only that, but the officials of Jing Zhaoyin also found the carriage you were sitting in at the back door of Qin Xianglou, and there were several jars of fire oil on the carriage, and those prostitutes who escaped from the fire all said in unison that they saw you set the fire in Qin Xianglou with their own eyes."

Brother An said. While looking at Yu Ruyan's description worriedly, of course she didn't believe that Qin Xianglou's fire was really set by her own master, so Brother An was worried that she would not be able to stand it when she heard these slanders and traps.

However, listening to what she said, Yu Ruyan gradually calmed down from the initial shock, and finally heard that someone had seen her set fire to Qinxiang Building, Yu Ruyan suddenly smiled, and the confusion in her heart suddenly became clear.

She closed her eyes and went through everything that could come to her mind, and suddenly everything became clear, except for one thing she couldn't understand.

Suddenly opened her eyes, Yu Ruyan looked at the bloody mouth on her wrist in a daze, and fell into deep thought----

If she guessed correctly, the servant woman in the Fortune Inn yesterday was the master Yiqing Shitai who had brought back Mu Ziyue----

Because when the servant woman passed by Yu Ruyan's side, she smelled a special smell on her!

Now that she tasted it, the fragrance was very strange, it seemed that she had never smelled it before, but there was a trace of imperceptible fragrance in it, that is, the special fragrance of plant ash contained in the incense sticks that cultivators often come into contact with!

Therefore, the ** of the ten servants is Mrs. Yiqing!

And the prostitute's 'self' who set the fire is even easier to explain----

Let's ask this world, if you want to find someone who looks like her and pretends to be harmful, who else will there be besides Jade Mingzhu?

In fact, even if there are no such clues. Yu Ruyan can also guess who is planning Qin Xianglou to frame herself, because, in this world, apart from Yu Mingzhu and Mu Ziyue, who else would be so hollow and crazy that they murdered dozens of lives to frame themselves!

She got up and put on her coat and slowly walked to the window, looking at the scene of late autumn outside the window, her heart was cold!

Many people and events flashed through her mind one by one, and she cleared them one by one, putting everyone in the event where she had imagined it to be, and the event seemed clear before her eyes----

Since she took Dongcao out of the house, she has been targeted by Yu Mingzhu and Mu Ziyue, Dongcao took the post she wrote to Qin Xianglou to meet Qiu's mother, maybe Dongcao had been poisoned at the moment she went out, as for the fire oil and fire Yizi around her later, it was just an obvious mistake to plant dirt.

Then Mu Ziyue's master, Master Yiqing, came forward to disguise herself as a servant woman and came into the house to bring tea to her, and stunted her with a silver needle.

During the time when she was in a coma, Yu Mingzhu disguised herself as herself and went to Qin Xianglou to set fire, with her seven similar appearances to herself, if she deliberately dressed up and didn't look carefully, no one could tell clearly.

Therefore, everything in this Qin Xianglou is the sin of Yumingzhu and her group, and then blame her.

But she couldn't figure out one thing from beginning to end----

If everything in Qin Xianglou is that they want to kill her, then why don't they just take their own lives when they are at the inn?

Also, what did they do when they cut the bloody wound on their wrists?

Thinking too much, her brain couldn't help but hurt, Yu Ruyan told Brother An to let the kitchen make some food for herself, and after a while, the kitchen served a table of exquisite meals, Yu Ruyan buried her head in eating, turned around and climbed into bed to rest.

Brother An was very happy to see her like this, and couldn't help but say: "When Your Highness left, she was still worried that the princess would be worried, unable to eat and sleep, if Your Highness knew that the princess was so well-behaved and obedient, I don't know how happy she would be!" ”

Yu Ruyan smiled helplessly bitterly, and in an instant, her expression was already serious, and said: "Brother An, from now on we have a hard game to fight, if I don't eat well and rest well, where will I have the strength to fight against the enemy, so, don't worry about me, you are also tired these days, go and have a good rest!" ”

Brother An saw that she was serious and serious, and couldn't help but tighten the nerves in his whole body, and looked at her in a daze, although he had many questions in his heart, he still quietly retreated and went to sleep on the soft couch outside.

Both the master and servant had not slept for a day and a night, and they were both very frightened. Brother An fell asleep on the pillow, and although Yu Ruyan kept thinking about the last question that she didn't figure out, she couldn't resist her tiredness in the end and fell asleep

When I woke up, it was already dark, and there was a 'whoosh' rain outside, Mu Lingzhi still didn't come back as usual, Yu Ruyan sat alone in the dining room, listening to the sound of rain and eating dinner.

The copper coin hurriedly ran back from the palace, soaking wet, with water on his clothes, and standing in front of Yu Ruyan wet. With a guilty face, he told her that Mu Lingzhi was busy in the palace and couldn't come back at night, so let her sleep first.

Yu Ruyan felt a pain in her heart, looked at the heavy rain outside in a daze, and said sadly: "Copper coin, it's raining a lot outside!" ”

Tong Qian looked at her for some reason, shivered with chills all over his body, and sneered: "Yes, the rain is falling fiercely and sharply today."

"Bring a few more sets of clothes for His Highness to change into for him, don't let him get sick!" Yu Ruyan's voice was cold, and she instructed Brother An on the side: "Go to Dr. Wu and ask for some medicine to get rid of cold and dampness." There are also trauma drugs to reduce swelling and decomposition. Let's have a copy of the copper coin, too. ”

Brother An looked at her in astonishment, and said with a confused expression: "What is the princess doing with this for Her Royal Highness?" ”

Yu Ruyan looked at the copper coin with a sloppy gaze, the copper coin was already at a loss for embarrassment, seeing Yu Ruyan looking at him, he said, "How did the princess and princess know?" ”

"You came back in a carriage, but you were drenched. And it rained today, and the altar could not be constructed, but His Highness stayed in the palace and could not come back because I was punished by His Majesty. When you came in just now, your knees were obviously stiff, presumably because you knelt in the rain with His Highness for too long---- am I right? ”

After listening to her words, Brother An found that his body was also strange when he was standing, and he stepped forward to help him check his knees, but his hand could not touch his trouser leg, and Tong Qian couldn't help but let out a soft pain, blushing and dodging his body, and snorted: "Don't look at it, the princess is right." But, His Royal Highness was not punished, but pleaded for the princess, begging His Majesty to give him time to find out the real culprit and return the princess's innocence. But His Majesty didn't want to see him, so His Highness knelt outside His Majesty's bedroom, but fortunately. The queen mother stepped forward and asked Her Highness to get up and enter the palace."

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's whole body trembled, her face was pale, her eyes were gray, and she was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "Your Majesty, doesn't you even want to give me a chance to try my grievances?" ”

Her heart was cold, and she thought sadly in her heart, she was also a princess of a country, and she was the future princess of Mu Lingzhi, but King Liang didn't trust her at all, or rather, because of the evil star. King Liang is already murderous towards her!

Tong Qian didn't dare to tell her about the anger of the court ministers today, let alone Mu Ling's decision against all the ministers, but he whispered: "The evidence presented by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple is all unfavorable to the princess, as well as the confessions of the survivors of Qin Xianglou, Your Majesty thinks that the evidence is conclusive and there is no retrial."

The following words of Tong Qian can't go on, but he doesn't say that Yu Ruyan also understands what kind of sad situation he has ended up in now

Her heart was full of ice and snow, and she sighed heavily and said to Tong Qian: "You go back to your life, but don't tell Your Highness that I already know about the affairs of the palace, just say that everything is fine in the other garden." My ---- is really good! You can say that you asked Dr. Wu for those medicines, not that they were my orders. ”

The copper coin respectfully responded and hurriedly went back to the palace.

"Also, tell Your Highness and let him help me buy three days, and within three days, I must find out the real murderer!"

Copper Coin was shocked when he heard this, looked at her in disbelief, and when he saw her solemn expression, he hurriedly responded respectfully.

As soon as he left, Yu Ruyan asked Brother An to summon the secret guard, and ordered: "Go find a surviving prostitute from Qin Xianglou and bring it back quietly!" ”

The secret guard had to order, and after a while, he brought back a girl who was scared and trembling all over, she knelt in front of Yu Ruyan in fear and fright, and after seeing that the person in front of her was Yu Ruyan, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head anymore, shrunk into a ball and knelt on the ground, and kept begging for mercy in her mouth: "The princess spares her life, the slave family didn't talk to anyone about last night's incident, and she didn't confess to the official uncle that she was the princess, it was Hong'er, and they didn't choose what they said, and it was not about the slave family."

"What's your name?"

Yu Ruyan's tone was calm and waveless, and she gently sipped the tea.

"The slave family is called Yao'er!"

Yu Ruyan waved her hand to let Brother An help Yao'er get up, rewarded her with a stool to sit on, and said, "Miss Yao'er, I invited you over today to ask you for a favor." ”

"Ah" Hearing this, Yao'er looked up at Yu Ruyan in disbelief. Stunned: "What does the princess want the slave family to help you?" ”

"Please tell me carefully about what happened before and after the fire in Qinxiang Building yesterday, and don't miss a word!"

Yu Ruyan's tone was easy-going, and she looked at her indifferently. Hearing this, Yao'er was surprised, and couldn't help but look at Yu Ruyan suspiciously, thinking, weren't you obviously present yesterday? You still took the lead in lighting the fire, why did you ask me the other way?

But she is indeed a smart girl, and something suddenly occurred in her heart, so she assured with a serious face: "Princess, the slave family doesn't know about yesterday's incident, if someone comes to ask the slave family." The slave family told him that the slave family did not see the princess set the fire. ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan was not happy, her brows furrowed almost inaudibly, her voice became cold, and she said word by word: "I said that I asked you to tell you everything about what happened in your building yesterday, not to listen to you say these useless words." ”

Brother An understood what Yu Ruyan meant, and stepped forward to stretch her face to the Yao'er girl and said, "Do you really think that fire was set by my princess?" I tell you the truth, my princess would never do such a conscientious thing, she was just framed. Now I want you to say that I want to sort out the clues to solve the case, if you say it in detail to help solve the case, our princess will be rewarded. ”

With a stunned look, Yao'er understood after a while, and quickly knelt down again, and said with a firm face: "Princess, if this matter is really not done by you, please find out the real culprit, and give justice to my dead sisters, and the slave family is willing not to reward it." ”

After that, clear my throat and talk about yesterday in detail.

"It was almost before dinner, except for a few red cards who were eating alone in the house, the slave family and the other sisters in the building were eating in the lobby. At that time, you, oh, no, yes, it was the real murderer who brought someone to break in, and asked to see Qiu's mother by name. ”

"At that time, the light in the lobby was dim, and she rushed in with a fierce attitude, drove us back to the room, and then asked Qiu's mother to hand over the deed of sale of those girls last time, and if she didn't give it, she would set fire to the building."

Qiu's mother was also scared at the time, and agreed to go upstairs to get the deed of sale, but when Qiu's mother returned, she seemed to regret it. Refusing to hand over the deed of betrayal, and arguing with the girl, we were so scared that we hid in your room, and we couldn't hear what the two said, but we felt that Qiu's mother was unusually angry, as if she said 'no grudge against you' and was beaten, and then there was a fire downstairs."

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's eyes lit up, but she didn't say anything and motioned for Yao'er to continue.

"Seeing that there was a fire, the sisters in the building tried their best to flee down, but the front door was blocked by the man and the back door was locked, we were so anxious, the man let the building be set on fire everywhere, and before leaving, he also left cruel words, offending my third princess is the end."

"Although we finally broke open the windows and escaped, there were still many girls trapped in the building and burned alive."

Speaking of the back, Yao'er was already in tears, and the people who were burned to death were all sisters who were struggling to make a living in Qinxiang Building, although they were usually occasionally angry because of the benefactor's affairs, but when they thought of their tragic deaths, Yao'er was still very sad.

Yu Ruyan's heart was cold. His hands clenched the teacup tightly, and he hated bleeding in his heart----

It's so vicious, in order to deal with her, he actually locked the girl on the first floor in the building and burned her alive!

Also, only when the more people die, the greater the public anger will be, will it alarm the entire Liang, will it reach the ears of King Liang and the queen, and will Mu Lingzhi also come forward to protect himself, and he will completely put himself to death and never have a chance to turn over.

Trembling with both hands, she picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea, Yuruyan suddenly remembered one thing, and her heart chilled. His voice trembled: "Is the goose-faced girl named Shuang'er in your building okay?" Can she escape from the fire? ”

Speaking of Shuang'er, Yao'er was stunned for a moment, and although the next words were already expected by Yu Ruyan, they still made her body froze and her whole body froze.

Yao'er told her that the girl named Shuang'er had coincidentally been ransomed by her family and left Qinxiang Building the day before yesterday, and it was said that she left Dongdu to live elsewhere, and lost contact with the girls in the building.

Brother An remembered the letter he handed to Yu Ruyan, and his heart was also clear, thinking that because of that letter for help, Yu Ruyan fell into someone else's trap. I blamed myself very much, and knelt in front of Yu Ruyan with a 'plop', and cried with self-blame: "Princess, it's all the slave's fault, it was the slave and maid who trusted other people's words, and passed the letter to the princess If there was no letter, the princess would not be like this and killed the winter grass, blame me."

"Get up, don't cry!" Yu Ruyan was also sad and angry in her heart, but Brother An could be blamed for this matter, those who wanted her to die tried every means to get her life, even if it didn't succeed this time. There will be a next frame-up, and there will be a one-time escape.

She asked Brother An to take a wad of silver tickets and give them to Yao'er, and said: "I know that your hard-earned belongings have been burned, you can take this money, do some small business, rent a yard to live, if there is any leftover, take care of the sisters in difficulty around you." ”

Looking at the pile of silver tickets in her hand in a daze, Yao'er's heart was very shocked, she looked up at Yu Ruyan in disbelief, and said gratefully: "Princess, the slave family didn't help you anything." It's not worth it when you get so many silver tickets."

"Well deserved." Yu Ruyan smiled at her, and in the next second, her expression was absolutely clear, and she said coldly: "I will definitely bring the real murderer to justice, return the world, return your sister, and return justice to myself." ”

After Yao'er left, Yu Ruyan had been sitting at the table frowning and thinking about something, Brother An saw it and asked uneasily: "Princess, are Yao'er's words really useful?" Or did the princess deliberately comfort her in order to accept the silver taels with peace of mind? ”

"No, her words did help me." Yu Ruyan got up and walked to the desk and spread out the rice paper. Write three names on it: Jade Pearl, Mu Ziyue, and Yiqing.

She pointed to the three people on the paper: "In fact, from the beginning, I knew that these three people were working together to harm me, Yiqing was the one who pierced me with the silver needle, she could cure Mu Ziyue's leprosy, presumably the medical skills are indeed good, so the method of blocking the acupoints with the silver needle is not difficult for her." ”

"And the 'me' that everyone saw in Qin Xianglou was the one Yu Mingzhu pretended to be. In the whole world, no one but her can pretend to be me and not let people find out. ”

"And I think this whole conspiracy should be thought up by Mu Ziyue, because Mu Ziyang heard the sentence that I threatened Qiu's mother in Qin Xianglou to 'burn the building', so they will use this sentence to play, and burn Qin Xianglou and then blame me, so that I don't even have a chance to redress my grievances."

Listening to Yu Ruyan's clear and clear analysis, Brother An said happily: "The princess is really smart, she sorted out the ins and outs of the matter at once, since she knows that they did it, let's hurry into the palace and tell His Highness, let His Highness tell King Liang, arrest these poisonous women, avenge Dongcao and those dead secret guards and the girls of Qin Xianglou, and cut them with a thousand knives."

"What about the evidence?" Yu Ruyan's soft words completely stopped Brother An.

The people in Qin Xianglou saw with their own eyes that it was 'she' who came to the building to make trouble, and they even heard with their own ears that 'she' was going to set fire to the building, and the fire was also lit by 'her' in front of everyone, and the girl next to her also died in the fire. There was still evidence of the murder on her body, and there was also evidence left in her carriage, so now all the testimony pointed to her, even if she knew who the real murderer was, but there was no evidence to refute it, and no one believed it.

One moment there was still joy on his face, and the next moment he was already depressed and sad, Brother An was so angry that he couldn't speak, just looked at Yu Ruyan with an anxious face, and said angrily: "Princess, can't you really find evidence to refute them?" Then why did you just ask Your Highness to ask for only three days? Three days passed in the blink of an eye. If the time comes

"Do you know that Mother Qiu can save her life in this accident?" Interrupting Brother An's words, when Yu Ruyan asked this sentence, her whole body was tense to the extreme, and she couldn't help but tremble.

"I heard that all the people who died this time were prostitutes, but I didn't hear that she died in the fire"

"Whew!" Hearing this, Yu Ruyan exhaled heavily, feeling that she was alive again, and she immediately ordered: "Notify all the secret guards in the mansion to find the surviving Mother Qiu at all costs!" ”

Brother An looked at her stupidly and asked, "What are you looking for her to do?" ”

Yu Ruyan smiled with satisfaction, hooked her lips and said: "If I guessed correctly, the reason why Mother Qiu quarreled with Yu Mingzhu later and regretted refusing to hand over the deed of betrayal must be that she recognized that Yu Mingzhu and I are not the same person, so she will say the sentence 'no grudge against you'." ”

"Therefore, now only by finding Mother Qiu and asking her to come forward to identify Yu Mingzhu as the real culprit who set the fire that night, can the truth of this matter be brought to light and save me!"
