Situ Ning glanced at Bu Yao and said, "Commander Bu came just in time, there is a death here, and you should be allowed to deal with it." ”

Bu Yao looked at Liang Yue, who was standing on the side, walked over suspiciously, caught a glimpse of the blood on the ground, and frowned slightly: "Can you please tell Niangniang what happened just now?" ”

The queen glanced at Concubine Shu and didn't intend to speak. Concubine Shu was a little stunned, and only replied after a long time: "How does this palace know what happened?" When I came out, I heard that the concubine had killed the chief eunuch in the palace, and the palace wanted to ask what happened to the concubine. ”

Liang Yue pursed her lips, and when she saw Bu Yao looking over, she said: "Just now on the palace road outside, I met four people dressed as eunuchs, and they attacked me without saying anything, and it seems that they should be assassins, so I showed no mercy and killed three people." The remaining one ran in this direction, and when I came after him, I saw that the back of the eunuch just now looked a little similar, and I wanted to catch him, but I didn't want to touch him, and he fell. ”

Bu Yao frowned, and the concubines were even more dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen in the palace? Which of these concubines has ever seen a fight? They all looked at Liangyue in disbelief. Concubine Shu said in a deep voice: "Concubine Yue, you have to talk about evidence, if you didn't move Fang De, how could he die inexplicably?" ”

"There's no need to get along with a eunuch in this palace." Liang Yue's expression was faint, and she looked at Bu Yao and said: "Speaking of evidence, Commander Bu went to the palace road to find the corpses of the three eunuchs, and by the way, verify their identities, this palace feels that they don't look like real eunuchs." ”

Bu Yao nodded, and arched his hand towards the queen: "Weichen will find out about this matter, the queen mother and the masters of the palace should avoid it first, these things can't stain your eyes." ”

How could there be an assassin in the palace? Bu Yao was a little curious, and he always felt that things were a little strange. Liang Yue stood quietly to the side, looking at the blood stains on the ground, there was still some blood on the corners of the lilac palace clothes, and when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt as if she had accidentally stepped into some trap again.

Bu Yao sent someone to look for the body on the palace road, and the queen asked everyone in the palace to go back first, but Concubine Shu stayed. Several minions of the Splendid Palace stood behind with some horror, glancing at Liang Yue from time to time.

Situ Ning was still calm, and asked Biye to go to the emperor, and then went back to the main hall to sit, so that everyone was in Kunning Palace.

After a while, the forbidden army that went out came back, and Bu Yao asked in a deep voice, "How?" ”

"Commander, the nearby palace roads have been checked, and no corpses have been found, and there is no bloodstain." The forbidden army replied respectfully: "My subordinates asked a few palace people passing by by the way, and they all said that they had never seen any fights. ”

Sure enough, Liang Yue's heart sank, and she subconsciously looked up at the queen.

Situ Ningliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, but he really didn't know. Concubine Shu listened to the words of the forbidden army, but looked at Liang Yue with some anger and said, "Can Concubine Yue explain to the palace, what are you talking about?" Killing people in Kunning Palace in broad daylight, did he still lie in vain to try to get away with it? ”

It is impossible for the corpse on the palace road to disappear for no reason, looking at the situation in front of her, Liang Yue also understands in her heart that it must be the Tao of whom. Kunning Palace killed people, and it was the chief eunuch in the Shufei Palace who died. Who is so capable of involving the two strongest people in the harem together? Looking at the posture, is it right and wrong to condemn yourself?

"What the concubine said, there is no half-truth." Liang Yue bowed to the queen and said, "As Concubine Shu said, in broad daylight, how can a concubine kill someone in Kunning Palace, and she won't do such a thing with a little brain, someone must have framed her." Please take a look at the queen. ”

Situ Ning thought for a while, and said gently: "This palace also believes that the concubine will not do such a thing, but the harem must also talk about evidence, can the concubine have a way to prove that Fang Defei was killed by you?" ”

Liang Yue was silent, and Bu Yao next to him couldn't figure out what was going on, and he couldn't speak. There was silence in the hall for a while.

"Father-in-law Fang De just now died of a dagger in the abdomen." Liang Yue suddenly remembered something, raised her eyes and said: "The concubine grabbed his shoulder from the rear at that time, and it can be found by the autopsy, the direction in which the concubine is standing, it is definitely impossible to plunge the dagger straight into Fang De's abdomen." ”

She said bloody, and Concubine Shu couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief. Seeing this, Tingyu next to him said, "If Niangniang is uncomfortable, don't listen." ”

Concubine Shu shook her head, looked at Liang Yue with a solemn expression, and said, "Fang De has followed this palace for so long, and now that he is dead in vain, this palace will seek justice for him." Although the moon concubine proved that if it wasn't for you who killed it, this palace would definitely find out the real murderer. But if this palace finds out that you are lying..."

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and Concubine Shu's tone suddenly became cold: "The Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, if it is really you who killed him, this palace will definitely ask you to give him justice." ”

Liang Yue glanced at Concubine Shu calmly and bowed her head and said nothing.

A few minions who had just removed Fang De's body came back, and the queen hurriedly asked, "Can you hand it over to you?" ”

Several minions were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and Xiao Linzi, who was the leader, looked at the queen hesitantly and said, "Didn't Niangniang let us take the corpse away?" Minions... It was sent directly to the incinerator. ”

There was a plague outbreak in the palace one year, and many people died, so there was an incinerator in the harem that was specially used to dispose of the corpses of the minions to prevent the plague from spreading. Later, those who died of illness and had no relatives or cause were sent there to be burned.

The queen's face changed, and Liang Yue also opened her eyes suddenly, looking at the minions.

"Is this eating leopard gall! Let you pack it up, and you will send it directly to the incinerator? Concubine Shu got up, her body couldn't help shaking, and she was supported by Tingyu. The anger on his face was extremely strong, and his phoenix eyes were also full of anger: "The servants of this palace, when will it be your turn to deal with it so unclearly?" If you want to destroy the corpse, you can't do it! ”

Situ Ning pursed his lips and said coldly: "Arrest these minions and keep them for review." ”

"Yes." The forbidden army next to him answered, and stepped forward to detain a few minions.

Liang Yue's fists tightened slightly, and Bu Yao also looked heavy. It was really a corpse destroyed, and now there is no trace to be found except for the palace people who witnessed Fang De dying in front of Liang Yue.

It's clear that he wants to kill her!

Concubines kill people, how can such a thing be spread without panic. With such a concubine, who would dare to stay in the palace? Gu Liangyue was a rare martial artist among the concubines, and now that such a thing has happened, who can guarantee that this person will be loyal to the emperor, in case he assassinates His Majesty one day, it is also possible, how can the Queen Mother allow her to continue in the palace?

The queen's expression was heavy, Concubine Shu was angry and sad, and Bu Yao looked at Liangyue, thinking about what to ask, but she really couldn't find any way to prove her innocence again.

"The emperor has arrived—"

With a singing promise, Xuanyuan Zili stepped into Kunning Palace, looked at the situation in front of him, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty." Seeing the emperor, Concubine Shu's eyes were shining, and she hurriedly walked over a few steps, saluted, and said, "Ask the emperor to be the master of the concubines!" ”

Everyone saluted, Xuanyuan Zili glanced at Gu Liangyue on the side, pursed his lips and said, "Get up, let's talk about what's going on first." ”

Bu Yao stepped forward and told Emperor Mingxuan about the matter briefly, the emperor walked to the main seat and sat down, listened with a calm face, looked at Liang Yue and said, "What you said, is it true?" ”

Liang Yue lowered her head and didn't look at him, but said lightly: "Concubines don't lie." ”

Concubine Shu looked at the emperor's expression, she didn't have half a point of reproach and suspicion, she couldn't help but be aggrieved, tears kept falling, knelt in front of the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Fang De has served his concubines for a long time, and he has always done his duty, and he has never provoked anyone." Now that he has been killed for no reason, please give him justice! ”

The emperor turned his head, looked at the tears on Concubine Shu's face, and sighed: "What a big thing, it's worth your crying like this." ”

His voice was flat and bland, and his dark eyes were quiet and deep, and when he saw Concubine Shu, his expression immediately froze.

Liang Yue smiled slightly, looking at Concubine Shu's appearance, she also had some sympathy in her heart. She must have forgotten that the person in the seat had seen countless deaths to get to this point, and this kind of thing would not move him to the point of death. What's more, I usually don't see how good Concubine Shu is to the minions. Now she is crying like a dead relative, if she is the emperor, I am afraid that her expression is even colder than the current Xuanyuan Zili.

"The corpse is gone, so who saw the concubine kill someone and stood up to me."

When the queen heard this, she looked at the few people from the Splendid Palace who had just stood at the gate of the palace and the two palace maids from the Kunning Palace. Several people cowered, not daring to stand up.

"Didn't you see it all just now, who are you afraid of?" Concubine Shu frowned and looked at them, and a few people from the Splendid Palace slowly stood up, knelt in front of the emperor and said, "The minions just saw it at the door..."

"What do you see?" Emperor Mingxuan asked in a deep voice.

Several minions looked at each other, and a little eunuch replied hesitantly: "The servant only saw the dagger in Fang De's father-in-law's body, and fell in front of the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang suddenly rushed in from outside the Kunning Palace, as if she was chasing something, and the others... The minions don't know. ”

Another palace maid spoke: "Father-in-law Fang De originally came from the door, and the slave maid glanced at it at that time, and it was very ordinary. But look up again... And I saw... And they saw him..."

The emperor chuckled lightly and said, "In other words, no one has seen Concubine Yue kill Fang De with a dagger, right?" ”

"Your Majesty..."Concubine Shu's eyes widened when she heard this, and she muttered, "Do you mean to favor Concubine Yue?" The concubine knew that she was deeply favored, but..."

"Xuan'er." Emperor Mingxuan turned his head, looked at Concubine Shu with deep eyes, and said lightly: "I know this matter in my heart. Since no one has seen the concubine kill with their own eyes, they can't slander the concubine at will. I thought you were sensible. ”

Concubine Shu choked.

Liang Yue raised her eyebrows and glanced at the emperor in some surprise. This time, he chose to believe her, and he didn't directly convict himself like before, which is really good.

But who will be the mastermind in this matter? If the emperor said so, he would definitely be fine. It's just that once this rumor spreads, it won't do her any good.
