(Girls' Literature)

The white jade bricks were as clean as a mirror, and when I knelt on them, my knees seemed to touch the ice, and although the weather was sweltering, there was still a slight chill.

Jing Rong lifted his robe, knelt beside Mu Xuefu, and kowtowed to Emperor Xuanwu, "Please Emperor Mingjian, Xuefu is weak and slender, she usually can't lift her hands or shoulders, and where is the strength to hurt the strong King Xuan." ”

Emperor Xuanwu pondered for a moment and nodded, "Indeed." ”

Princess Xuan couldn't help herself, wept, and interjected, "But the prince was drunk at that time." She raised her eyes to look at Mu Xuefu, her eyes full of accusations, "Maybe Princess Chen had a dispute with the prince and accidentally pushed the prince into the water, and she didn't know that he was not used to water, so ...... There was no rescue. ”

Mu Xuefu glanced at her, as if to exonerate her from the charge of intentional homicide, but in fact, she still said that she had killed someone.

She said frankly: "I really haven't done it, if Princess Yu and Princess Xuan must rely on me for King Xuan's death, it will be to let the real murderer go unpunished." Do you want to see King Xuan die without turning a blind eye? "Stop," I have no grudge against King Xuan for a long time, and I have no enmity for a long time, so how can I kill him. ”

Qin Qing stroked her eight-month-old belly, sat beside King Huai, and muttered in a low voice, "Maybe it was King Xuan's drunken and disorderly sex and his contempt for Princess Chen, so Princess Chen was annoyed and angry, so she made a murderous move." ”

King Huai glanced at her, she pursed her lips, and did not squeak again.

King Rui summoned the little servant who followed Jing Xuan, "Do you see anyone else besides Princess Chen and your master?" ”

The little guy recalled and shook his head, "No." ”

King Rui continued to ask, "King Xuan was injured and fell into the water again, and you didn't hear any sound?" ”

The little guy looked hesitantly, "At that time, the little one stood far away and didn't hear it." ”

King Rui nodded, straightened his sleeves, and said casually: "That means that you can't prove that no one has been behind the rockery during the period of time since Princess Chen left." ”

The garden where Mu Xuefu and Jing Xuan met was very large, and the little maid only stood in a corner, which really couldn't be explained, there were only a few of them in that place.

The little guy nodded yes.

He has followed Jing Xuan for many years, and the love of master and servant is deep. Because King Xuan drowned in the water, he blamed himself, only blamed himself, he couldn't see the opportunity and detect the abnormality one step earlier, otherwise the prince would not have died.

Compared with Princess Yu and Princess Xuan, who stubbornly recognized that Mu Xuefu did it, he felt that the real murderer was someone else.

Jing Wanqi sneered and raised his eyes to look at Jing Yu, "Princess Chen and Princess Rui are sisters, of course you will find a way to excuse her and speak for her." ”

Mu Yurong was angry, her face turned red, and she wanted to fight back, but she was held back by Jing Yu. She glanced at Jing Wanqi and was indignant.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at everyone, walked around, and looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes. He didn't speak for a long time, and the hall fell silent for a while. After a while, he finally spoke, "There are still many doubts in this matter, and it is not possible to determine who the murderer is immediately." Glancing at Jing Rong, "Jing Rong, you get up first." ”

Jing Rong held Mu Xuefu's shoulder, "Your Majesty, Xuefu can never be a murderer, please ask the emperor to investigate." ”

"You get up first." Emperor Xuanwu calmed his face and let Jing Rong get up, looked at Mu Xuefu again, pondered for a moment, and said: "Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Princess Chen is the murderer, but now she is the most suspicious, so I will first wronged Princess Chen and imprison you in Xiao Linyuan." When the truth is found out, if it is found out that you are not the murderer, it is not too late to release you. ”

Xiao Lin Yuan is the most remote place in the palace, and it is generally imprisoned in the palace for concubines who make mistakes, which is equivalent to the cold palace in the palace.

Jing Rong's face was angry, and there was a raging fire in his chest, "Your Majesty—"

"Courtier, thank the emperor for his grace." Mu Xuefu directly thanked her verbally and covered Jing Rong's voice, "The courtiers always believe that the pure ones will clear themselves, and I believe that the emperor will find out the truth and return the innocence of the courtiers." She looked up at Jingrong, "Lord Wang, are you right?" ”

Jing Rong almost gritted his gums with hatred.

Ignoring the look Mu Xuefu gave him, he resolutely knelt down and asked, "Since Princess Yu said that it was instructed by Weichen just now, then Weichen should also be imprisoned with the princess of the minister." ”

Mu Xuefu grabbed the back hem of his clothes, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Jingrong! ”

Unexpectedly, Jing Rong turned around and grabbed her hand, and said loudly: "You are the princess of this king, everything you do must be instructed by this king, you can't get away with the crime, how can this king be single in the world?" ”

Mu Xuefu was moved in her heart, her autumn eyes were flowing with rolling affection, a pair of clear and bright eyes drenched in water turned brightly, clenched his hand, and smiled slightly.

At this time, the two of them are like a pair of bitter mandarin ducks. Emperor Xuanwu's eyebrows twisted into a river, his upper and lower eyelashes intersected, and he said, "Okay, since King Chen has such a request, I have no choice but to agree." After looking at everyone in the circle, he finally looked at Mu Shulin and Jing Han, he sighed lightly and said with a sigh of anger in his heart, and said, "It is up to the Marquis of Xiangyang and King Rong to investigate the murder of King Xuan." ”

His voice was tired, like ringing an ancient bell, and his eyes were full of pain but had to hide it in his heart. Until now, he didn't dare to look at Jing Xuan, who was no longer breathing, and even from his heart, he didn't want to admit it.

How can he admit that he has been planning for many years, isn't it all for this son?

All his hard work was in vain, and the wall built inside him also collapsed with Jing Xuan's departure.

But he is more rational than Jing Wanqi, if Jing Rong and Mu Xuefu are the real murderers, he will not let them go, but if not, he will not let go of the murderer of his son.

And the reason why Xiangyang Hou and Rong Wang were chosen is because others will be more or less related to Zuo Xiang's family and Chenwangfu, and only Xiangyang Hou and Rong Wang, one of them does not live in the imperial city all the year round, and has no friendship with anyone in the imperial city, and the other is upright and does not do favoritism, so it is rest assured to hand it over to them.

Mu Shulin didn't have any reaction on his face from beginning to end, but he was already angry in his heart.

Pity my sister was wronged, resented Princess Yu for messing around, and hated Emperor Xuanwu for indiscriminately imprisoning my sister and brother-in-law.

Leng Buding was mentioned by Emperor Xuanwu and was stunned, but he reacted in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Weichen must do his best to find out the real culprit who killed King Xuan." ”

Jing Han was still expressionless, and said coldly: "Erchen obeys the order." ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it is better to hand it over to them than to others, at least they will try their best to clear the innocence of Mu Xuefu and the two of them.

Earlier, Mu Xuefu had already told Jing Han the news that her brother was still alive, and they had also met in private.

In fact, Jing Han had long felt that Xiangyang Hou was very similar to his former brother, but he only felt like it, and he never dared to think that he was still alive.

In fact, it's no wonder that Jing Han didn't recognize him, after so many years, he doesn't look like he was young when he was a child. Moreover, Mu Shulin used to be a very cheerful personality, but after the family change, he not only became gloomy, but even his appearance was not as bright as before.

In fact, even if he found someone who was exactly the same as Mu Shulin when he was a child in front of Jing Han, it would still be difficult for him to believe that his brother was not dead.

King Fu, who had not cared about these idle things for a long time, raised his forehead, spoke for Jingrong, looked at Emperor Xuanwu and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, don't go to Xiao Zhuyuan if you look at it, it's better to be grounded in the place where King Chen lives." Although he is suspicious, he is not a prisoner after all, Xiao Linyuan is too simple. ”

It's not just simple, this summer, if you really live there, I don't know what kind of heat will be.

Emperor Xuanwu actually intended to embarrass Jingrong, but King Youfu interceded, if he insisted, it would seem that he had a heart for Jingrong. had no choice but to give up and said: "It's okay, then King Nachen and his wife will be grounded in Chaohua Yunwei Pavilion, and no one is allowed to visit until the truth is found out." Emperor Xuanwu raised his hand weakly and waved, "You all go down." ”

Jing Wanqi looked at him with wide eyes and shouted, "Your Majesty, why did you let go of my son's murderer so hastily?" You are confused, where do you need to investigate again, who else can it be besides the two of them? Her forehead slammed against the floor tiles, making a heavy "bang" sound, "Please ask the emperor to make decisions for our orphans and widows, please make the emperor's decisions." ”

Emperor Xuanwu had residual anger between his eyebrows, and the fire in his heart seemed to have been filled with wooden salary, and he arched upwards "poof".

He saw that she was really dizzy, and he dared to say anything.

Looking at her coldly, suddenly, he felt as if he didn't love her that much.

In his youth, he admired the lady of the Wei Mansion, which was the surge of youth, which made him worry about it during the day and at night.

But Jiao Niang chose not him, but a reckless man.

He was rejected in disguise and broke his heart, but in fact, he was not necessarily sad because the girl he liked liked liked someone else, but because he was sad because his dignity as a prince was defeated for the first time.

When he was at his saddest, he met Jing Wanqi, another beautiful woman who was not inferior to Jiao Niang. From her, he found the dignity that had been lost, she fell in love with him, and he fell in love with her.

However, at this time, he suddenly wanted to think about whether he loved her or not.

This is like a crazy woman, where is the noble and cold Jing Wanqi, what is the difference between the shrew in the market?

Men always want the woman they love to be flawless, as flawless as the one that walks down from the painting. However, one day, when faced with a completely different side from him, perhaps that love disappeared without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.

The emperor let everyone disperse, Mu Xuefu and Jing Rong were taken down, and when they left the main hall, Mu Xuefu turned his head with a ghost.

She felt a burning gaze on her all the time, a burning heat that wanted to burn people.

Coincidentally, her searching eyes caught her eyes off guard and met Princess Xuan's gaze that she hadn't had time to retract.

Princess Xuan probably didn't expect Mu Xuefu to turn back, and her instant reaction was not to dodge, but to be stunned directly.

The corners of Mu Xuefu's eyes twitched, it was natural for Princess Xuan to hate her, but unfortunately, she saw the corners of her mouth curled.

A woman who has just died of her husband, even if the murderer is caught, should not show such a smile, and what makes her even more surprised is that there is no trace of sadness in Princess Xuan's eyes.
