Chapter 054: The Real Murderer
"I want to think about what to say, you just killed the palace maid Cuiyu, and some palace maids have seen Cuiyu once collide with you and was reprimanded by you. You are acting kind on the surface and don't care about her, but in fact, you have a murderous intention hidden in your heart, summon her to Zhaoying Palace, and then push her into the well while she is unprepared, and watch her drown, right! ”
"I didn't!" The jewel calmly denied. She hasn't done it or she hasn't done it, "Besides, if I want to kill a palace maid who has rushed into me, I will go directly to my father and ask my father to order her to be cut down, why bother to summon her to that Zhaoying Palace and kill her as the imperial sister said." With such an obvious eye-catcher, do you think anyone could really do such a stupid thing? ”
Chang Ning clenched his fists and snorted: "Who knows, you will do everything to maintain your innocent and kind image in front of your father. Everyone in the palace knows that the kindness of your princess is actually a vicious woman at all! In order to get the attention and favor of his father, he will do anything! ”
"Eighth Emperor Sister, Yizhu has always disliked to be your enemy, don't think I'm really that easy to bully, just frame me for a murder!" It's too much, she has deliberately avoided them recently, but this Chang Ning has come out to slander herself.
A wave of anger rose in Yizhu's heart, and his eyes glared at Chang Ning with anger.
This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other.
She knew that several imperial sisters had always disliked her, so if she could avoid it, she would avoid it, but most of the time they provoked the incident first, making her unbearable, so she went against them, but she didn't expect that this time, this Chang Ning could even blame her for such a thing as murder!
It really chilled her.
"Whether it is planted or not, let my father order someone to investigate." The confidence in Chang Ning's eyes made a touch of unease rise in Yuzhu's heart.
I'm afraid that Chang Ning came prepared.
She looked at Murong Xi who had just entered the hall uneasily, and saw Murong Xi's handsome face indifferent, but she still gave her a reassuring look.
And when Chang Ning saw Murong Xi stepping into the hall, her heart was filled with emptiness, and she remembered the warning he had given herself before, but Pei Yi was still reading the name of the lost pearl after she was drunk, and her jealousy covered up her weakness, making her look fearlessly at her own imperial brother, and then at her father, who had been silent.
Murong Sheng held his breath, stared at Chang Ning, and then coldly ordered Kong Liangming, the leader of the Yulong Army in the palace, "Kong Liangming, I ordered you to investigate this case thoroughly, if Princess Zhuzhu has not done anything, if you dare to wronged her, I will kill you." ”
This remark smacks of threat, and it seems that no matter how true this matter is, the blame cannot be implicated in the princess of the lost pearl.
Kong Liangming was stunned for a moment, and was about to step forward to accept the order. Murong Xi opened his mouth to interrupt him.
"Father, this matter will be handed over to the son-in-law, and the son-in-law will definitely investigate it thoroughly, and return the pearl to a clean slate." As soon as these words fell, he glanced at Chang Ning in the hall gloomily.
Chang Ning chuckled in his heart, and his hands under the cuffs of his shirt clenched. Avoiding his gaze, not daring to look at him.
Murong Sheng hesitated for a moment, and the relics in the hall spoke: "Father, this matter is handed over to the Seventh Emperor Brother, and the relics are more assured." The Seventh Emperor Brother is fair and strict, and he is also the compatriot of the Eighth Emperor Sister, I believe that the Eighth Emperor Sister has absolutely no opinion, right, Eighth Emperor Sister. ”
Chang Ning clenched his fists when he heard this slightly provocative remark, and a fake smile appeared on his bright face, "Naturally, the Seventh Emperor Brother has always reassured his father that this matter can be handed over to the Seventh Emperor Brother to investigate." ”
Seeing this, Murong Sheng seemed to have made a decision for himself, and said no more, and directly handed over the matter to Murong Xi for full investigation.
After Murong Xi received the order, he glanced at Chang Ning meaningfully and with warning, and said to Kong Liangming: "Chief Kong, I am afraid that there is something strange in this matter, and I need the assistance of Chief Kong, and I also ask Chief Kong to cooperate with this king." ”
"Prince Ping needs to go to his subordinates, just ask." After all, it was Murong Xi who relieved himself of the siege, otherwise, with the emperor's threatening order, it would be really difficult for him to investigate this murder case.
……
The palace maid suddenly died in the palace, and she was still deliberately killed, which made people panic.
It is also rumored that the dead palace maid was killed by the princess of the Nine Princesses, which makes people feel suspicious.
Everyone in the palace knows that Princess Zhuzhu is innocent, romantic and kind, and has always been very good to the minions, and I don't know how many palace maids want to be transferred to Yuehua Hall as an errand, but Princess Zhuzhu has a small shelf, claiming that Yuehua Palace does not need so many people to serve at all. The minions were disappointed when they heard this, but they didn't dismiss the thought. All aim to enter the Yuehua Hall on an errand. Now that such a thing happened, everyone didn't believe that Princess Yizhu would really kill a little palace maid.
Of course, the matter was handed over to Murong Xi to investigate, and the missing pearl was not worried that the matter would really be found on him.
is also because this matter has nothing to do with me at all.
……
According to the clues provided by Kong Liangming, Murong Xi took the light breeze to inspect the body of the deceased, and found that the deceased was holding one hand tightly.
Qingfeng observed carefully, "Master, this fabric is of the highest quality, but looking at the material and color, it should be a men's cloth." But it's not palace clothing. ”
Murong Xi's eyes were slightly downcast, staring at the fabric in his hand, and he already knew in his heart that this was the costume that he had worn.
After that, he took the breeze to Zhaoying Palace, the scene of the crime where the deceased was found.
Zhaoying Palace is next door to the Cold Palace, and because it is too close to the Cold Palace, it is rare for palace maids and eunuchs to come here.
Seeing that Cuiyu was summoned to Zhaoying Palace by Princess Zhuzhu for a long time, she was worried that she had searched for the ancient times, and finally found Cuiyu's body in this long-abandoned well.
He summoned the palace maid Liying, and she confessed that there was no problem, and she didn't look like she was lying, and she was saddened by Cuiyu's death.
"Master, look at this."
When Murong Xi was deep in thought, the light breeze on the side picked up a jade pendant at the position of the weeds at the mouth of the well and immediately presented it to him.
When Murong Xi saw the jade pendant, his eyes lit up, his eyes suddenly became murderous, and his whole body also exuded a chilling coldness.
If he guessed correctly, this is the phoenix-entangled dragon jade pendant that he saw his mother wear for Chang Ning when he was a child.
Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and walked out of Zhaoying Palace.
The light breeze behind him also realized that his master should know who the real culprit was, and immediately followed.
Anyway, he didn't believe that the murderer would really be the princess of the lost pearl.
