Chapter 49: The Scapegoat

Luo Yunshuang raised her eyebrows and said sharply, "What are you waiting for?" Don't report to the police yet! ”

She wore a red dress today, and there was a kind of dignity and majesty in her expression, which made people involuntarily obey, and the two family members stopped her words and immediately walked to the door.

"Stop!" Concubine Jiang shouted, "Without the order of this concubine, no one is allowed to leave the mansion!" ”

Luo Yunshuang's face was full of surprise, "What's wrong with Concubine Niangniang?" Don't you want to find out the cause of Qingqing's death? After all, it's a human life! ”

"The little princess is eloquent, I won't argue with you," Concubine Jiang no longer maintained her superficial gentleness, and sneered, "Everything this concubine has done is for the prince, for the Ning Palace, this matter can't be reported to the official, a few of you come over and carry the body out and bury it!" ”

Concubine Jiang gritted her teeth and hated, Qingqing was a damn thing, not only was the matter not done well and was caught red-handed by Luo Yunshuang, but the most important thing was that she lost five thousand taels of silver and two of her most beloved jewelry, she was just a cheap girl, and a hundred of them couldn't be worth one thousandth of the money she lost! happened to set up a game to deal with Luo Yunshuang and solved her hatred!

I didn't expect Luo Yunshuang to be so thoughtful, and in the face of Yu Pei, who could prove that she was murderous, she was able to be so calm and calm, and found an opportunity to bite her back, it seems that she really underestimated her!

Looking at the majestic appearance of her ordering her subordinates to report to the official, even Concubine Jiang was suppressed, she couldn't believe that there could be such a strong majesty on a little girl!

Surprise is surprise, she won't be intimidated by her, even if she can? married Ning Qi's sick son and blocked her way, so it's no wonder she is ruthless!

As for her calmness and intelligence beyond her expectations...... It's okay, just be cautious!

Luo Yunshuang's eyes narrowed, and she said coldly, "Concubine Niangniang, are you unable to plan to do it?" ”

Concubine Jiang snorted coldly, "Young Ji was very miserable, and I am also very heartbroken, but since the matter has happened, it must be dealt with as soon as possible." Little princess, although you are the concubine of the little princess, but since the prince handed over the power of the palace to me before leaving, then please ask the little princess to do her part, take care of the little princess, if you have free time, you can rest, and the other things in the palace will not worry about the little princess! Now, I have the right to have Qingqing buried, rest assured, I will comfort her parents. ”

After speaking, Concubine Jiang summoned her subordinates to come and carry Qingqing's body away.

As if she hadn't heard her, Luo Yunshuang stepped forward to block Qingqing behind her, and said with a smile, "No, Concubine Jiang, you don't have this power." ”

"What did you say?" Concubine Jiang's face suddenly became even more ugly, she had been in charge of the family for so many years, and no one had ever dared to challenge her authority so much! This stinky girl actually said that she didn't have this power? She can't see clearly that the entire palace is in the hands of her Concubine Jiang, right? Even the princess didn't have a position to speak, she really didn't know the sky?

Looking at the entire palace, if she is not qualified to do something, who else is qualified?

Luo Yunshuang sighed twice, "I said that Concubine Jiang has no power to decide what to do with Qingqing's corpse, but when the prince left, he ordered it in front of everyone, Concubine Jiang is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, and the housekeeper is responsible for matters outside the palace, neither of them has the right to decide, any decision must be approved by the princess before it can be implemented, Concubine Jiang will not forget, right?" ”

Concubine Jiang's expression froze, in fact, she didn't take this to heart at all, for more than ten years, the princess had never interfered in the affairs of the palace, she thought that the prince said this when he left, but it was just polite words, but she didn't expect it to be used by Luo Yunshuang to block her!

In an instant, the expressions on everyone's faces were very exciting, obviously they couldn't react to the fact that the princess, who had never asked about the affairs of the palace, suddenly had the decision-making power of the palace, and Concubine Jiang's face changed for a while, before she barely squeezed out a far-fetched smile and walked in front of the princess, "Princess, in your opinion, shouldn't you let this girl Qingqing settle in the ground as soon as possible?" After all, it's hot now, so if you just leave it ...... place"

The princess frowned, obviously she didn't expect that she would have to deal with this matter, but she understood that it was Luo Yunshuang who created an opportunity for her to take back the power that Concubine Jiang had held for many years.

The princess had no intention of managing the palace, but now she understood that if Concubine Jiang was still allowed to hold the power of the palace, she would definitely be detrimental to Qi'er and Shuang'er! If Concubine Jiang just doesn't take her seriously, she doesn't care, but she will never allow Concubine Jiang to hurt her son and daughter-in-law, she only has her son and daughter-in-law left now.

The princess glanced at Concubine Jiang with a calm gaze, and said in a calm voice, "Concubine Jiang's words have a certain amount of truth, since this is a housework of the palace, there is really no need to trouble Yin of Jingzhao Mansion again." ”

Before the princess finished speaking, Concubine Jiang's face showed a relaxed and smug look, look, this woman is still very wise, even if she is given power? She knew very well who was the mistress of this palace, and she didn't dare to do it against herself!

I don't know how Luo Yunshuang feels when she knows that she is counting on the wrong person now?

As soon as Concubine Jiang's smug gaze fell on Luo Yunshuang's body, she heard the princess say again, "However, although this concubine doesn't know this girl, she can't let her go like this for no reason, the ins and outs still have to be investigated, not only to give the deceased a comfort, but also to protect the living." If it was really someone in the house who killed Qingqing, if this person was not found, there was a murderer hidden in the house, and everyone would not be able to feel at ease in the future. So no matter what, we have to find out about this matter today! ”

The princess's words were strongly approved by the people of the palace, who knew that their lives were of course not as noble as their masters, and they might offend someone at any time, in case they were killed inexplicably like Qingqing?

Concubine Jiang almost gritted her teeth in anger, "Then how is the princess going to investigate?" I didn't even know that the princess would investigate the case? ”

"Concubine Ben naturally won't investigate the case," the princess glanced at Concubine Jiang coldly, "But there will always be a way, didn't Shuang'er just say, will the deceased have the appearance of a murderer in his eyes?" If there's a way, why don't we try it? Concubine Jiang, ask someone to take a look at whose shadow is in Qingqing's eyes! ”

Concubine Jiang was silent for a while, and then said with an ugly face, "Mama Song, since the princess insists on this, Cuicui and they are young, I'm afraid they don't dare to look at it, you can go and take a look!" ”

Mama Song agreed, and was about to walk to Qingqing's side, when Luo Yunshuang suddenly stepped forward and blocked in front of Mama Song, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why don't you let me come!" ”

Mama Song smiled, "Ouch, the corpse is very scary, the little princess is delicate, how can she look at such a dirty and scary thing?" Let the slave go! ”

said, regardless of Luo Yunshuang's identity, he actually raised his hand to push her!

How could Luo Yunshuang let a rough mother-in-law push herself, she raised her hand and pushed away Mama Song's hand, and sneered, "I've always been bold, I'm not afraid of these things," she said, she glanced at Concubine Jiang with a smile, "To be honest, the people around Concubine Niangniang have frequent accidents, and I really don't trust it!" ”

"You!"

Concubine Jiang looked angry, "What did you say?" ”

"Excuse me, I didn't target you, don't blame me!" Luo Yunshuang playfully stuck out her tongue, seeing this, Concubine Jiang couldn't say anything even if she was angry again. ”

"What are you still doing here?" Luo Yunshuang said to Mama Song, "You see, it is because of people like you who don't listen to the master's greetings that the gentle and kind side concubine Niangniang can't be trusted...... Still not leaving? Are you trying to kill the side concubine? ”

Luo Yunshuang's tone became more and more serious, and her voice became louder and louder, Mama Song was frightened by her last sentence and took a step back, and quickly stepped aside, Luo Yunshuang sneered this time and walked to Qingqing's side, squatted down and opened Qingqing's eyes to look.

Her movements were fast, and she stood up after a while, Chu Chu hurriedly wiped her hands with a handkerchief, "Wipe it clean!" ”

Everyone looked at Luo Yunshuang nervously, expecting her to say the name of the murderer.

Luo Yunshuang wiped her hands clean, and sneered at Mama Song, who was obviously nervous, "No wonder Mama Song rushed to see Qingqing's eyes, I thought you were really loyal and commendable, it turns out that you are also selfish!" ”

Mama Song was already very panicked, "You...... Don't talk nonsense, I, where do I have any selfish motives! ”

Luo Yunshuang turned her head to look at Concubine Jiang, "What did Concubine Niangniang say?" ”

Concubine Jiang clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it the princess who wants to investigate, why did you ask me again?" Who the little princess sees, let's say it quickly! However, I hope you can read carefully, don't wronged good people are! ”

"Naturally, I won't wronged a good person, in Qingqing's eyes, but the murderer's appearance is clearly printed! I think, after all, they are all from Ning Wangfu, if she is willing to admit it herself, I may be able to ask the princess to be more lenient with her, but if she doesn't admit it, then don't blame me for being ruthless, killing people pays for life, I, Luo Yunshuang, am the most unsightly person to see this kind of vicious person! I must have let her suffer before she died! ”

Luo Yunshuang's words were very fierce, which made some timid subordinates tremble, her eyes swept over everyone, especially the maid brought by Concubine Jiang, when her eyes fell on the face of a strange mother-in-law, the mother-in-law suddenly screamed, and her face turned pale and ran!

"Catch her!" The princess immediately ordered the family to take down the mother-in-law, who was so frightened that her legs and feet were sore, and she was escorted back by the family after not running a few steps, kneeling in front of the princess.

"Concubine Jiang, it's really time for your Yingluo Courtyard to be rectified!" The princess glanced at Concubine Jiang coldly, and said coldly to the mother-in-law, "Who are you?" Why run! ”

The mother-in-law was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and the princess frowned unhappily, "Concubine Jiang, this is from your yard, what is her name?" ”

"She's Mama Zhang," Concubine Jiang gritted her teeth and looked at the mother-in-law kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes, "Mama Zhang, so decent, what are you running?!" ”

"Do you need to ask?" Luo Yunshuang walked over with her arms in her hands, and said condescendingly, "She knows that her deeds have been revealed, and she is afraid of death!" ”

Everyone suddenly gasped, Mama Zhang was usually silent and silent, and she didn't look bold, but she didn't expect that she killed Qingqing!

"It turns out that you did it," the princess shouted, "why didn't you tell me how you killed Qingqing, why did you kill her?" ”

"Yes, it was you who killed Qingqing!" Concubine Jiang was heartbroken in disbelief, "In vain, I trust you so much, you actually betrayed my trust!" Qingqing offended you somewhere, you actually killed her ruthlessly! You say, if you do this, can you be worthy of me, can you be worthy of your daughter Lan Lan? She's as big as Qingqing, how do you do it! ”

Mama Zhang trembled, looked up at Concubine Jiang suddenly, and said with nervous eyes, "Concubine Niangniang, please ......"

"Hmph, what's the use of you begging me?" Concubine Jiang turned her head coldly, "You have to admit the sins you have done!" Why did you know in the first place today? Now that your crime has been exposed, you should confess your guilt early, and it will save you suffering! Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Lan Lan! ”

Mama Zhang looked at Concubine Jiang in a daze for a while, suddenly lowered her head, and cried loudly, "Lan Lan, my mother is sorry for you!" ”

"She still has the face to cry! Only after killing people do they know that they regret it, what's the use? ”

"Yes, I usually see her honest, I usually meet her in the yard, and I have said hello to her a few times, ouch, I didn't expect her to do such a thing!"

"That's it, how do you do it......"

Listening to the discussion of the subordinates, Luo Yunshuang sneered in her heart, this Mama Zhang is just a scapegoat, Qingqing is undoubtedly killed by Concubine Jiang, but now it is pushed on Mama Zhang's head, Concubine Jiang seemed to be reprimanding Mama Zhang just now, but she was actually threatening her with her daughter!

"Mama Zhang, huh? Although you are guilty of killing someone, it has nothing to do with your daughter, and you can rest assured that the palace will not pursue her for this. ”

Mama Zhang nodded, but she was not at ease at all, Lan Lan was in the Zhuangzi under the name of Concubine Jiang, which was equivalent to being completely controlled by Concubine Jiang, even if the little princess did not pursue it, once she said something that made Concubine Jiang dissatisfied, she would definitely be unfavorable to Lan Lan, how could the little princess fight against Concubine Jiang?

Besides, it was indeed she who killed Qingqing, it was Mama Song who was beside Concubine Jiang who personally ordered her, Qingqing still had her shadow in her eyes, she couldn't rely on it, anyway, they were all going to die, so it was better to use this life to save her daughter's life......

After thinking about this, Mama Zhang was not afraid, she kowtowed to the princess respectfully, "Back to the princess, the slaves and maids all said." It was indeed the slave maid who killed Qingqing, and last night, after Qingqing followed the side concubine Niangniang out of the courtyard of the little princess, the slave maid killed her. ”

"Since you have admitted it yourself, then come and make it clear to Concubine Ben."

Always standing in the courtyard guarding the corpse is not unorthodox, the princess ordered her subordinates to leave Qingqing to be buried properly, and then led everyone to the main hall of Lanze Courtyard.

Everyone sat down, and the princess said to Mama Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, "Okay, now you can explain clearly, why and how did you kill someone?" ”

Mama Zhang kowtowed again, and said slowly, "The slave maid lives in the same room with her, and after the little hoof came back last night, she told me how good the little princess was to her, and the little princess also gave her her jade pendant, saying that it would not be long before she would let her be a side concubine for the little prince, and also said that my daughter Lanlan would have to stay in the village in the countryside for the rest of her life, and she could only have a small servant when she was old...... The slave and maid were angry, so they quarreled with her, and the slave and maid were so strong that they accidentally pushed her down on the cabinet during the dispute, and she ...... When she was killed, the slave was so frightened that she threw her into the lotus pond when it was dark and no one was paying attention. ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and the princess asked after a while, "Who said that you want her to be the side concubine of the little prince?" What kind of messy person also wants to be the concubine of the little prince? What a dream! ”

Luo Yunshuang also sneered, "Don't say that you stole my jade pendant, and you still want to be the concubine of the little prince?" Xianggong's body is so weak, but I don't know now that there are still people thinking about him! Since I have talked about this today, I, Luo Yunshuang, will tell you clearly, with me here, the little prince will not marry any side concubines, if anyone beats my father-in-law's idea again, beware of my aunt and grandmother slaughtering her! ”

Everyone was stunned, although everyone understood that as a wife, no woman was willing to let her husband marry a concubine, but if she said it so bluntly, wouldn't she be a? How dare she?

The princess was also stunned, but then she was relieved, with a body like Qi'er, it was already a blessing to be able to survive safely, where is there so much energy to marry a side concubine?

"Now that Mama Zhang has confessed, does Concubine Jiang have anything else to say?"

Concubine Jiang shook her head and said with a guilty face, "Princess, it's all the concubines who are not in good health, it's the concubines who don't take care of them well, this kind of thing can happen, please ask the princess to punish the concubine!" ”

As she spoke, she knelt in front of the princess.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, Mama Tan, help the side concubine to get up." The princess said lightly.

Concubine Jiang got up and sat on the chair along Mama Tan's support, Luo Yunshuang said loudly in front of everyone, "To be a man, keep your duty, do your own thing, the most important thing is to be worthy of your conscience, don't think that you can do bad things without knowing it, there is no impermeable wall in the world, sooner or later it will be known, and when the time comes, no matter who it is, you will be punished as you deserve!" ”

The people were so drunk by her that they had already lowered their heads convincingly and didn't dare to speak. After Luo Yunshuang finished speaking, she walked up to Concubine Jiang and said with a smile, "Concubine Niangniang, am I right?" ”
