036 Doubtful case
Yu Qian sat up violently, her forehead covered with sweat. Tonight, it should be the cherry blossom night.
Almost every night, rivers of blood, corpses strewn all over the field, or bruises all over one's body. Yu Qianling always wakes up from her dreams, and then when her mood calms down a little, she lies down in the morning.
She didn't want to alarm Sakura. Those pains and grief, she just wants to press in her heart, and she doesn't want to expose them in front of others. Although many times I still can't suppress the anger in my heart. Yu Qianling got out of bed, walked to the table, and poured a cup of tea.
Sakura heard movement in the room and wanted to get up and go in to take a look. He hesitated and didn't get up. She heard Yu Qianling pour the tea, drank it, and then walked back.
Sakura sighed, her eyes full of helplessness. She knew that Yu Qianling would wake up from a nightmare almost every night. There's so little she can do. She can only be by her side to take care of her diet and daily life.
The courtyard door is open, which is the habit of Yu Qianling after moving here.
Passing by Zilan Pavilion, Mo Yu stopped, looked around vigilantly, and then looked inside.
Sakura raised her head, her eyes met, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Mohui saw Sakura's face blank, and then turned her head and left.
Sakura was a little disappointed, but also a little happy. It's nice to see him.
The night is getting quieter and quieter.
Cloud King's Mansion.
Tomorrow, Xiao Chuhuan will go to the imperial capital. Mo Hanyun stood in front of the window, looking outside, thoughtful.
In a few days, the remains of the eldest princess of Pingnan and the concubine will be transported back to the imperial capital. The emperor cherishes his only sister very much, and will not let her be buried in another country, and it is difficult for her soul to return.
Mo Hanyun doesn't believe in any coincidences. The person who killed the eldest princess of Pingnan should be the real murderer who poisoned Concubine Xian back then. The eldest princess of Pingnan must know the inside story, otherwise how could she be killed.
The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark. Mo Hanyun laughed at himself. After this incident, he realized that many of his actions were under the control of that person. In other words, someone has been staring at the Cloud King Mansion.
Mo Hanyun was a little fortunate that the connection with the Medicine King had always been in charge of Lifeng. For Lifeng, he is still very relieved. Not to mention the Daning Dynasty, even if it is the whole world, I am afraid that I will not be able to find someone who can follow the wind.
Following.
The atmosphere in the Heart Cultivation Hall was extremely tense. The emperor frowned and looked at the two of them who were still arguing.
"If you didn't send that killer, why did they kill my father as soon as your men left? Also, the murderer said that the prince sent them! I heard it so well! It's clearly you, you just say the real murderer behind the scenes! ”
"I don't even have evidence, so I insist that this king is the murderer. Xiao Chuhuan, do you have a long brain! ”
"I'm a witness! The jewelry and clothing you sent are physical evidence! ”
"What reason does this king have to kill his aunt!"
The emperor glanced at Gonggong Gao. Gonggong Gao hurriedly walked up to the emperor and leaned down.
"Gao Yi, what do you think?" The emperor asked,
"Your Majesty, the slaves don't dare to speak falsely." Gao Gonggong said.
"It doesn't hurt to be straightforward, I forgive you for your innocence."
Gonggong Gao looked at the two people who were still arguing with His Royal Highness, and said to the emperor: "This Lord Xiao's decision to solve the case is really a full-screen guess." ”
Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Gonggong Gao and shook his head helplessly. He slapped the table vigorously.
Mo Hanyun and Xiao Chuhuan stopped talking.
"This case will be handed over to Dali Temple to investigate. There is no evidence at all, and it is impossible to argue just like this. Lao Jiu, until the case is cleared, you will stay in Yunwang's Mansion and go anywhere. The emperor said.
Mo Hanyun hurriedly knelt down: "Father, the son didn't harm his aunt, please Father Mingjian!" ”
"Lao Jiu, I know that you have no reason to kill your aunt. Huan'er, you just live in the palace, don't walk around if you don't have anything to do. ”
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Chuhuan was a little unconvinced.
The emperor closed his eyes: "I'm tired, you all retreat." ”
"The retainers retired." Mo Hanyun saluted, glanced at Xiao Chuhuan, and walked out.
A trace of worry flashed in Xiao Chuhuan's eyes.
A eunuch walked over: "Lord Xiao, the servant will take you to the palace." ”
"Your Majesty." Xiao Chuhuan had no choice but to bow and follow the eunuch out.
When the emperor opened his eyes, Gonggong Gao had already placed the hot tea in front of him.
"Gao Yi, did you say I did something wrong?" The emperor asked.
Gao Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, do you mean the eldest princess of Pingnan?" Your Majesty, if you make a mistake, you have been extraordinarily gracious. The eldest princess insisted on following the horse to Pingchuan, because they were deeply in love and unwilling to separate. The eldest princess died in a foreign land, which no one could have predicted. How can the emperor be blamed for this! ”
The prince shook his head, with a helpless expression: "Pingnan is stubborn, her concubine, I can't help but punish her." But what I'm telling you isn't about Pingnan. ”
Gonggong Gao thought for a while, pointed to the gate of the Palace of Cultivating Hearts, and said, "What does the emperor mean?" ”
The emperor smiled bitterly: "Yes, the matter of the virtuous concubine." ”
"Your Majesty, when Concubine Xian Niangniang went, Lord Yun was only ten years old. It is understandable to be haunted by the death of Concubine Xian. The slave felt that he was not questioning the emperor. Gao Gonggong hurriedly said.
"The matter of the virtuous concubine, I am ashamed of him. Even though there were many concubines in the harem who did not have children, I still handed him over to the queen to raise herself. Speaking of this, the emperor seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes widened, and he had a questioning expression.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Gao Gonggong asked.
The emperor didn't know how to send it, he was thinking about something, and then he said: "Gao Yi, I'm really old, why didn't I think of this after so many years?" ”
"Your Majesty, you are not old. It's just that the previous dynasty was too busy, so how could you have the energy to take care of the affairs of the harem. Gao Gonggong smiled.
The emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at Gonggong Gao, with a strange expression.
"Your Majesty, why do you rely on your servants like this. The minions watching are a little flustered! Gao Gonggong hurriedly said.
The emperor pointed to Gonggong Gao and said, "You just talked about the harem." But I didn't say just now that I was thinking about the harem. ”
Gonggong Gao hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that the Nine Princes, the slave thought, it must be a matter of the harem." ”
The emperor frowned: "Hurry up!" ”
"Your Majesty." Gao Gonggong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Gao Yi, do you remember that after Concubine Xian left twelve years ago, who was the first to ask me, saying that she wanted to raise Lao Jiu?" The emperor said.
Gao Yi frowned, thought about it carefully, and then said: "Your Majesty, the slave remembers that it is the queen's mother." The queen mother has always been steady and decent, and that is the only time the slave has seen the queen mother so anxious. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not a prince at that time. ”
The emperor nodded: "The queen likes children, and she has always treated Lao Jiu well." At that time, I thought that even if the queen adopted, part of the reason was that I wanted to be more sure of getting the crown prince, and I would hand over Lao Jiu to the queen to raise. ”
"Your Majesty, the cause of death of Concubine Xian Niangniang at that time made many nobles give up the idea of adopting the Nine Princes. In addition to the queen's mother, there is also Concubine De and Li Guiren. Now, they also have their own prince and princess, and it is impossible to be more attentive to the nine princes than the queen mother. Gao Gonggong said.
"The queen, virtuous and virtuous, I am very relieved of her. However, she really didn't need to be in such a hurry at that time. Unless ......"
Before the emperor finished speaking, Gao Gonggong's eyes widened and he understood what he meant.
"The real culprit behind the murder of Concubine Xian, the queen knows. She did this to protect Lao Jiu. The emperor sighed.
"Your Majesty, will Lord Yun find out the real murderer?"
Back then, she threw a scapegoat out. Twelve years have passed, and even if there are any traces left at that time, where to look now? However, if Pingnan was killed by her, I will not tolerate it this time! After speaking, the emperor's eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Your Majesty, take a hair and move your whole body! What's more, if the events of the year are brought out, the Nine Princes will ...... And the queen mother...... Perhaps, there are other people involved. Gao Gonggong persuaded.
"But my sister!" The emperor was annoyed in his heart, and slapped his palm on the desk.
Father-in-law Gao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”
"Well, don't mention the past. The most important thing at the moment is to find out the real culprit. If she dares to frame my son and kill my sister, I will not spare her! The emperor said angrily.
"Your Majesty, maybe there is someone else who is really culprit." Gao Gonggong hurriedly relieved.
"I hope so."
Out of the palace, Mo Hanyun sat in the carriage and closed his eyes tightly. It took a long time for him to open his eyes.
Thinking back to Xiao Chuhuan's expression in the Heart Cultivation Hall and what he had said, Mo Hanyun felt that there were many loopholes. After all, Xiao Chuhuan is the son of the eldest princess, even if he is stupid, he should know to come up with evidence to prove the murderer. He insisted that he was the real murderer behind the scenes, and his expression was a little thoughtful, and his eyes were evasive. Mo Hanyun felt that this was not reasonable at all.
Mo Hanyun felt that he wanted to block a big stone in his heart, which was extremely heavy. When I returned to the palace, I heard the news that Zhang Jin was back.
Zhang Jin entered the Mingyue Pavilion and told Mo Hanyun what had happened.
Early that morning, my subordinates heard the news of the murder of the eldest princess of Pingnan, and they were very shocked, so they went to take a look. The house was burned, and the people inside were unrecognizable. I heard that those people are also going to kill Xiao Chuhuan. Because the terrain was unfamiliar and the light was too dim, he escaped. Zhang Jin said.
"If the Assassins deliberately let him go, they were trying to set the blame. If you don't succeed in killing him, then ...... Who was the prince in the Assassin's mouth? Mo Hanyun frowned.
"Lord Wang, now there are rumors everywhere in the capital that you killed the eldest princess of Pingnan and the concubine. It's already a lot of noise. Walking from the city gate to the Yunwang Mansion, I heard people talking about it in the streets and alleys. Zhang Jin said.
Mo Hanyun sneered: "The emperor ordered that no rumors should be spread. The only person who knows is the high father-in-law in front of the emperor. Pingchuan is thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, and it is impossible for the news to come so quickly. It seems that someone is deliberately spreading rumors. ”
"Lord Wang, what should I do next?" Zhang Jin asked.
"Wait for news of the wind." Mo Hanyun said.
