It seems that before they came, the queen had already had a preliminary investigation into this matter.

A blood-stained house, a female corpse lying in a pool of blood. There is also the unconscious Xianwang Qi Yan, and she and Qi Ye have left early, all the evidence at the scene points to Qi Yan, I don't know what the queen thinks of this matter?

Although her mind was racing, Su Xiyun was not in a hurry or impatient, and said slowly: "Back to Your Highness, the courtiers did come back from the banquet to change their clothes, and the second lady of the Bai family once wanted to accompany the courtiers to come together, but was rejected by Mama Rong. ”

When Mama Rong heard Su Xiyun's roll call, she hurriedly stood up: "Miss is right, at that time, the second miss of the Bai family had to go with her, but it was the old slave who stopped her." ”

Mama Rong is the old lady next to the queen, and what she says is still more prestigious. When everyone heard this, they didn't say much.

"Later, it was Mama Rong who accompanied the courtiers back to Kunning Palace." Su Xiyun said: "When the courtiers went in to change their clothes, Mama Rong was called away, and after changing their clothes, the courtiers came out and saw that there was no one and went back to the banquet by themselves." "She won't be stupid enough to tell what happened next!

That's right, Su Xiyun made up her mind to put this matter on the virtuous king Qi Yan. Anyway, at that time, she and Qi Ye had already left, and Qi Yan was the only one left in the house.

Hearing this, he immediately frowned and said, "You didn't meet anyone during this period?" For example, His Royal Highness King Xian? ”

"Nope." Su Xiyun gave him a categorical denial.

On the contrary, I don't know what to say.

The queen glanced at it leisurely and said reproachfully: "Zhen'er, things are clearly placed there, what are you doing to embarrass Xiyun?" ”

"Erchen just doesn't believe that Seventh Brother will kill Second Miss Bai himself!" Angry eyes widened and said: "The seventh brother has always been romantic, this is admitted by the minister, but." If he wants to seduce Miss Bai Er, where is it not good to seduce, but instead he has to run to Miss Su's house? Besides, the seventh brother has always been pitiful and cherished jade, how could he ruthlessly kill Miss Bai Er? ”

The queen listened to the angry words, glanced at it lightly, and said, "Don't you understand this, the reason why Qi Yan appeared here is because his purpose is actually Xiyun." It's a pity that Xiyun changed her clothes and left, and Miss Bai Er lied and secretly followed, and she just happened to be bumped into by him. ”

"But why did the seventh brother kill her?" After all, he was still unconvinced: "The seventh brother is not so ruthless!" Moreover, Miss Bai Er was stabbed to death by a sword, and there was no sword in that room at all! The one who can make the sword is the younger brother! ”

As soon as his words fell, Qi Ye, who had been standing aside without saying a word, slowly stepped forward. Untie the sword that has been hanging from your waist, "Huh! He pulled out.

"Brother, what do you want to do in front of the queen mother?" Startled by the cold shining sword, he said angrily.

Qi Ye said lightly: "Big brother, you can see carefully, the sword I usually wear has no blade at all, how can I kill someone?" What's more, when have you ever seen me wield a sword? ”

Truly. Qi Ye had never shown his swordsmanship in front of people.

was stunned for a moment, and carefully leaned over to take a look, and found that it was really as Qi Ye said, the sword was indeed unbladed. He said unconvinced: "But my brother can't use a sword?" ”

"Kill an unarmed woman. Do you want to be able to use swordsmanship? It's basically a man. Qi Ye said coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.

When he heard this, he suddenly said: "Unarmed? What's the matter with the wound on the back of the seventh brother's neck? Wasn't it Miss Bai Er who stabbed him? ”

When Qi Ye heard this, he paused before saying, "When any woman is violated, I'm afraid she will resist, this is a woman's instinctive reaction. ”

"Humph! The seventh brother is the prince! She was a little daughter of the Hou Mansion who stabbed her second brother, causing him to not wake up now! Said angrily: "Just based on this, it's not too much for the seventh brother to kill her!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the surroundings suddenly became very quiet.

Su Xiyun stood there and almost laughed out loud, is this defending Qi Yan or smearing him?

The queen glanced at it, but after all, she still didn't want him to lose her temper, so she continued: "Okay, there is so much evidence there, don't bother to explain it for Qi Yan!" He didn't rape him, but killed people, look at the good things he did! ”

also knew that he had lost his words, so he finally closed his mouth and never said anything again.

At this moment, the shrill voice of the palace man suddenly sounded outside the door: "The emperor has arrived!" ——”

Everyone was busy knocking on the ground to say goodbye, even the queen mother stood up, and when she saw the middle-aged man in bright yellow at the door striding in, she hurriedly bent down to ask for peace: "The concubine sees the emperor!" ”

"Queen, get up!" The emperor stepped forward, first stretched out his hand to help the queen up, and then turned to the people in the hall: "Get up!" ”

"Emperor Xie (Father)!" The crowd slowly got up.

The emperor sat down in the upper position, and a pair of big eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and then turned his head to the queen and said: "I just came out of the imperial study, and I heard that something big happened in the Kunning Palace, so I came to take a look, queen, what is going on?" ”

Hearing the emperor's question, the queen simply told the bloody scene in the guest courtyard today.

"Your Majesty, according to the concubines, Yan Er must have been stabbed in the back of his neck by the other party with a hairpin when she was strong against Miss Bai Er, Yan Er was annoyed and angry, so she killed her with a sword!" The queen said with an ugly face.

But after the emperor heard this, he asked, "Why did Yan'er go to Miss Su's house?" ”

The queen's expression flashed for a moment, but she explained: "Second Miss Bai sneaked over behind Xiyun. There were some things she didn't want to say. Qi Yan is shameless, but Su Xiyun still wants it, and the queen doesn't want to embarrass Su Xiyun in front of everyone. Some words, point to point.

Sure enough, when the emperor heard this, he thought for a moment, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he scolded angrily: "This unfilial dare to covet his brother's fiancée!" It's just a beast! Because of his anger, after the emperor scolded, he actually coughed violently.

"Your Majesty!" The queen on the side hurriedly reached out and gently patted the emperor's back, and after a while, the emperor stopped coughing.

"Father, the seventh brother won't be like this......" is still making a pale and weak explanation, but unfortunately, even he doesn't believe it.

"Bang!" With a bang, the emperor shook his sleeves and brushed off the tea bowl on the table, and said angrily: "Don't say good things for that evil animal!" Otherwise, I will blame you together! ”

Immediately closed his mouth tightly.

"Someone! Remove the title of the Seven Emperors and the Virtuous King, subtract one year of his salary, and when his injuries are healed, he will personally go to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion to apologize! The emperor gave an order angrily.

This is the end of the matter, although it is a homicide, but because the royal family does not want to expose this scandal, it does not alarm the courtiers. The party Qi Yan didn't even have a word of rebuttal, and was convicted by the emperor.

"It's late at night, so take your places!" After giving the order, the emperor unceremoniously began to pick people up.

Everyone stood up and left, but Qi Ye and Bai Ruifeng still stood there motionless.

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to bring his cousin's body home!" Bai Ruifeng's face sank like water.

Su Qianyun stood aside, looking at Bai Ruifeng, who was immersed in sorrow, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Su Xiyun remembered that she was held by Qi Yan at that time, and Bai Yinghong heard the order to walk in from outside the door, she knew that the second lady of the Bai family might have hooked up with the virtuous king Qi Yan a long time ago.

Such a woman, she doesn't feel a pity for her death at all.

"Let's go! Take it back with you! The emperor said with a headache: "After I go back, tell your grandfather, I'm sorry!" ”

This sentence of apology already contains the greatest guilt that this emperor has for the Bai family after this incident.

Bai Ruifeng's face slowed, and he slowly lowered his head and said, "Yes!" Your Majesty, Weichen obeys the order! ”

The emperor waved his hand and told them all to retreat.

……

At the gate of the palace, the carriage of the Bai family was still parked here, and the people who participated in the banquet had already left, but the young master and young lady of the Bai family, as well as the two young ladies, had not come out for a long time, and the coachman who had been waiting in front of the carriage for a long time couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

I don't know how long time has passed, but the gate of the palace, which had been silent for a long time, finally opened again, and a team of people slowly came out of it.

This must be the Lord of his own house who has come out. The coachman's heart was struck, and he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage to meet him, but he had barely taken a step when he saw a stretcher carried by two people, with a white sheet covering it, hurrying towards his carriage.

The coachman was taken aback, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand when he heard the figure of his young master flash out.

"Chang'an, help carry the second sister up!" Bai Ruifeng's voice was calm and there was no trace of waves, but the coachman Chang'an was greatly taken aback!

Two, two, two miss? Corpse? Chang'an's mouth was open enough to stuff an egg. Noble Girl Seeking to Marry: Wonderful

Bai Ruifeng saw that he was stunned, so he took matters into his own hands, and together with the two little eunuchs who carried the stretcher, he carefully put Bai Yinghong's body on the carriage.

"Young master, this, what's going on?" Chang'an stammered and asked.

Bai Ruifeng didn't look at him, but only ordered: "You drive the carriage back first, don't talk too much!" ”

Chang'an's mouth closed suddenly, and at this time, he saw his young lady and young lady slowly walking out of the palace gate together, and he was relieved. The carriage carrying the white cherry blossom corpse disappeared into the night.

"The carriage is ready." Qi Ye on the side spoke: "I'll talk about something tomorrow." "Women are talented.

Bai Ruifeng nodded, and was about to leave with Su Qianyun and his sister, but at this moment, he heard a coquettish shout: "Wait a minute!" ”

Bai Ruifeng hurriedly turned around, and saw that his aunt Su Xiyun was slowly walking out of the palace.
