Chapter 248: Suicide?
Shen Changge glanced at the little eunuch kneeling in the middle of the crowd, with a little coldness in his clear eyes.
After a while, she walked slowly down the steps, step by step towards the little eunuch.
And with her pace, the palace maids and eunuchs who knelt on the ground automatically retreated to both sides to make way for her.
Walking in front of the little eunuch, Shen Changge stood with his hands behind his back and looked at him condescendingly.
"Why didn't you say it when Hongu asked me just now?"
Her voice sounded calm, but there was a chilling coldness in her words, which made the little eunuch tremble.
"Back to ...... Back to Your Highness. The little eunuch lowered his head, not daring to look at her, "The slave is just ...... Just remembered. ”
"Really?" Shen Changge stretched out his voice and said, "If you let this palace know that you dare to lie, this palace will never spare it!" ”
At the end, her voice suddenly took on a bit of gnashing of teeth.
"Your Highness is angry." The little eunuch was so frightened that he immediately said, "Slave...... Slaves are harmful...... I was scared, so I didn't say it. Please forgive the minions this time! The minion must have told His Highness everything he saw! ”
"Say."
"Just this morning, the slave saw Xiao Dezi sneak into his room after Mo Chu left the room, and when he came out, Xiao Dezi had a scroll in his hand." The little eunuch's voice trembled and said, "When Xiao Dezi found out that the slave saw it, he threatened the slave that if the slave told him about it, he would kill the slave. ”
Speaking of the back, his whole body began to tremble: "Your Highness, the slave did not deliberately conceal it, please ask Your Highness to forgive the slave!" ”
Lowering his eyes and staring at him, Shen Changge asked, "Is what you said true?" ”
"The minions will never dare to deceive His Highness."
Shen Changge didn't look at him anymore, looked up at the others, but found that she was not very familiar with these palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.
After all, the only one who usually serves in front of her is Xiao Shunzi.
"Who is Xiao Dezi?"
"Your Highness." As soon as her words fell, she saw Xiao Shunzi come to her side quickly, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Dezi is not here." ”
Shen Changge turned his head to look at him unhappily: "Didn't you tell this palace that everyone is here?" ”
Xiao Dezi was so frightened by her words that he immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness forgives your sins." The slave summoned everyone according to His Highness's instructions, and for a while he didn't notice that Xiao Dezi was not there, it was the slave's negligence, and he asked His Highness to punish him. ”
"Why don't you hurry up and bring Xiao Dezi to the palace!" Shen Changge's voice was a little impatient, "Everyone go to find it, be sure to find Xiao Dezi!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Shunzi immediately got up, called all the palace maids and eunuchs, and began to look for them in this huge east palace.
Shen Changge raised his hand to support his forehead, only to feel a headache, and his eyes caught a glimpse of Mo Chu and Xue Yan still holding a cane and stick, so he said, "You two also go to find it." ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the two left, only she and Shen Yiqing were left in the empty courtyard.
Shen Yiqing opened her slender legs, slowly walked down the steps to her side, and looked at her somewhat impatient appearance.
"Who does the prince think instructed this little virtuous son to steal the painting?"
Hearing the voice, Shen Changge turned her head to look at him, just looking into his deep and charming phoenix eyes, which made her stunned for a moment.
She quickly came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I don't dare to guess who instigated it without conclusive evidence, anyway, it's just those people on the left and right." ”
Although there is no evidence, who else has a grudge against her, wants to deal with her, and has a way to deal with her, who else can there be besides Shen Tianhua and Shen Qingyang?
Although Shen Tianhua and her did not tear their faces openly, she would not be so stupid as not to see that Shen Tianhua had been coveting her crown prince.
As for Shen Qingyang, he has always been at odds with her, and now that he has come out of the Zen Void Palace, he is afraid that he hates her even more, and he will definitely find a chance to deal with her.
Now that she knows that Xiao Dezi stole the painting, she can't believe that Xiao Dezi can't ask who instructed it!
The two waited in the courtyard for half an hour before they saw Mo Chu and Xue Yan walking back quickly.
"Your Highness." Walking forward, Mo Chu arched his hand and said, "I found Xiao Dezi, it's just ......"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xiao Shunzi and several other palace people who came up behind him.
Among them were two young eunuchs carrying a stretcher, on which appeared to be a man lying on it, covered with a white cloth covering his entire body.
Seeing this scene, Shen Changge suddenly understood, but his heart was full of anger.
"Bengu hasn't asked yet, and he's just dead?" Her face was gloomy, and her voice was cold, "Where did you find him?" ”
"In the garden in the rear, he was found hanging from a tree, and his subordinates checked his body, and he should have committed suicide."
"Suicide?" Shen Changge snorted coldly, "He died in time." ”
As she spoke, her hands behind her back unconsciously clenched into fists.
Finally, I found out who stole the painting, but the thief actually killed himself!
Moreover, it is still uncertain whether Xiao Dezi really committed suicide or whether someone forced him to commit suicide.
The most important thing is that Xiao Dezi is dead, and she can't find out who is behind him.
Seeing her angry and unwilling reaction, Shen Yiqing comforted her: "Prince, you don't have to be disappointed about this. Even if you don't have this clue, you can definitely find other clues. What's more, the emperor also ordered a strict investigation of this matter, so you should wait for the results with peace of mind. ”
Listening to his comforting words, Shen Changge's irritable mood calmed down a little.
Turning her head to meet his deep gaze, she bowed her head slightly, and turned her gaze to look at the palace people who were hanging their heads.
Taking two steps forward, she looked at these palace people with a condensed face, and said in a loud voice: "You have not followed this palace for a day or two, this palace has no other requirements for you, but there is only one point, you must remember clearly. ”
Speaking of this, her tone was a little serious and cold: "If you let this palace know that any of you dare to be disloyal to this palace and dare to do anything to betray this palace, then Xiao Dezi will be your fate." ”
"Nope." She seemed to think that something was wrong, and changed her words, "Your fate will be worse than that of Xiao Dezi!" If any of you want to see the means of this palace, this palace will not stop you! ”
The palace people were silent one by one, and their hearts were full of fear.
They have seen the horror of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.
Although His Highness is very tolerant of them on weekdays, he didn't expect His Highness to start a fire, which is so terrifying.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Shen Changge didn't say anything more, and ordered Xue Yan to take someone to send Xiao Dezi's body to Dali Temple.
At the banquet, she was framed, and the emperor handed it over to Dali Temple for investigation, and Xiao Dezi was related to this case, so he naturally wanted to transfer his body to Dali Temple.
After the order, she entered the hall with Shen Yiqing.
