Chapter 272: Peeling off the cocoon
Mu Shulin and Jing Han were really anxious, and they kept investigating day and night, analyzing the case, and finally had an eyebrow.
On this day, Emperor Xuanwu summoned everyone to the Hanyuan Palace.
Jing Wanqi got the letter and rushed to Hanyuan Palace, and when he entered the hall, he saw Mu Xuefu and Jing Rong who had just been released, and pointed to his nose and said, "Are the murderers them?" She slashed at the two of them, her eyes eager to pop out, "Now that I've investigated clearly, I see if you two have anything else to say." ”
In the past few days, she has been washing her face with tears, her eyes are swollen as if they are soaked in water, and she has no time to comb them neatly, unkempt, not at all like the meticulous Princess Yu who even had to sleep in the past.
Mu Xuefu and Jing Rong glanced at each other and pursed their lips, "The two of us have nothing to say, because we were wronged, Princess Yu should ask who the real murderer is and then let him talk to you properly." ”
"You-" Jing Wanqi was angry, pointing at Mu Xuefu's nose, gritting his teeth coldly, "If it is found out that you did it, I will ask you to pay for your life in court!" ”
"Princess Yu!" Emperor Xuanwu snorted coldly and glanced at her with heavy eyes.
Princess Xuan helped Jing Wanqi sit down and comforted: "Mother, the Marquis of Xiangyang and King Rong have been investigated, and the murderer can't escape, don't be impatient." She glanced at Mu Xuefu, and her eyes were extremely determined, as if she had determined that the real murderer was Mu Xuefu.
Emperor Xuanwu's lips pursed tightly, waited for Jing Wanqi to sit down, looked at Mu Shulin and Jing Han, and said, "Now that everyone is here, you can make the results of the investigation public." His palm slapped on the case in front of him, and the green glazed tea cup slammed, making a crisp sound, "Who killed King Xuan?" ”
Jing Han stood in the center of the hall and arched his hand to him, "Back to my father, in fact, we haven't been sure of the murderer, but according to our investigation and evidence collection, the suspicion of Princess Chen has been ruled out." ”
Princess Xuan stood up suddenly, her face was excited, regardless of her identity, and asked, "How can you rule out her suspicion?" Could it be that King Rong is also like the prince of my family, Don't be confused by Princess Chen! ”
Jing Han's face is like a thousand-year-old snow-capped ice sculpture, cold to the bone. Hearing this, he looked at her with a sloppy gaze, "Princess Xuan, this king doesn't care about you for the sake of your just lost husband, if you dare to slander this king again-" No longer looked at her, but his voice was still terrifying, "The name of this king, the god of war, is not obtained by killing only one or two people." ”
Princess Xuan's heart jumped suddenly, and she didn't dare to speak disrespectfully to Jing Han like she did just now. just suddenly sobbed quietly, and muttered: "King Rong's name is naturally not obtained by killing one or two people, who doesn't know your military exploits Great Qin people." Pity me as a widow, even if you say the wrong thing because of the loss of your husband, you shouldn't let King Rong come to fight or kill, does King Rong regard me, a weak woman, as an enemy? ”
She seems to have suffered a great grievance, which can't help but make people look sideways.
"Jing Han." Emperor Xuanwu's face was not very good-looking, and he looked at Jing Han coldly.
Jing Han was not afraid, looked directly at him, and said: "Father knows the temperament of his son, and he can't be insulted. ”
Although Emperor Xuanwu was jealous of Jing Han, he knew that his son Mo Ruo's father knew that Jing Han could not tolerate anything. may be because of the matter of General Zhenguo, who has always been the most hateful to Zi Xuan and was framed. Besides, Princess Xuan did speak ugly, so I don't blame him for speaking harshly and threatening him in court.
Glancing at Princess Xuan, who was secretly weeping, he frowned, obviously impatient, and said: "Princess Xuan, don't cry, this matter has its own judgment, and there is evidence to tell the truth whether it is right or not." ”
Princess Xuan raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Xuanwu, wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk scarf, and blessed him, "The courtiers are rude, please forgive the emperor." ”
Emperor Xuanwu asked her to sit down, and asked Jing Han again, "Why did you say that it wasn't Princess Chen who did it?" ”
"Because that day, Weichen saw with his own eyes that when Princess Chen left, King Xuan was fine." A weak voice sounded, and it seemed ethereal in the main hall. Mu Xuefu looked back, and it turned out to be the prince of Anding County. He was helped into the hall by others, and he was so weak that he seemed to be able to walk lightly. Before she could think about it, she saw him cough violently, and his face turned red, "It's just that I'm not in good health and can't stand the heat, so I left in a hurry, and Mianfu beside me can also testify." ”
Mu Xuefu's heart sank, and she couldn't turn her mind in a hurry. If he really saw it, he would naturally see the moment when she hit Jing Xuan, but he said that Jing Xuan was fine.
His words are very important, and they can directly clear her innocence. She didn't have a relationship with him at all, and she had only met once in the Furong Pavilion, so why did he help her? Aren't you afraid that she is the real murderer, and you are not afraid that she has committed the crime of bullying the king?
She wasn't so narcissistic as to think that all men liked him, but for a while she really couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.
Gong Jinmu walked in and saluted Emperor Xuanwu, and smiled vaguely, "Please forgive Weichen for coming late, he is really not in good health, so he walks slowly." ”
Gong Jin Muzu is the only king of the opposite sex in Great Qin, and he is the hero who accompanied Emperor Gaozu to fight the world together, and was very courteous to the emperors of Great Qin in the past dynasties. When he arrived at Gong Jinmu, although he was frail and sick, and he was not an official in the court, Emperor Xuanwu, who was the prince of Anding County, also treated him very favorably.
Emperor Xuanwu ordered someone to prepare a seat for him, and then began to ask, "When did the Prince of Anding meet them?" ”
Gong Jinmu thought for a while and said, "It's not a moment or two." ”
Jing Wanqi's solemn eyebrows were like ice cubes that couldn't be dissolved, looked at him, and said, "Why is the prince so sure that it is not a moment?" ”
Gong Jin Mu coughed while holding Jinpa, her face was as pale as paper, her shoulders trembled from a strong cough, and she pointed to the little guy on the side.
The little servant stood up, knelt down and said: "My master's body can't stand the heat, so he has to go to Fengbi Pavilion every noon to cool off, and he will go back every day. The little one can also testify that he did see Princess Chen leaving, and King Xuan was also fine at that time. ”
Mu Yurong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jing Wanqi with unkind eyes and said, "My sister came to me every three minutes, so it means that King Xuan's death has nothing to do with my sister." ”
Jing Wanqi still didn't give up, and continued to ask Gong Jinmu, "Then why didn't Shizi come out to testify on the day of the accident, but only came out today?" ”
Gong Jin Mu eased up, and her anger was like a gossamer, "Because my condition worsened after I went back that day, and I was sick for a few days, and I only knew about it yesterday, so I asked Mianfu to tell King Rong what I saw that day." These words seemed to take a lot of effort on his part, and he gasped for breath, "I don't know Princess Chen, so I have no reason to lie to her." ”
"There is no basis for empty words, does the prince say that if you don't know each other, you must not know each other?" Princess Xuan's eyes burst with unwillingness, her hands clenched into fists, clenched tightly.
Jing was as cold as ice, and said coldly: "Does Princess Xuan want to say that the prince of Anding is also confused by Princess Chen, just like she slandered the king?" ”
Jing Han's face was gloomy and frightening, like hail in a hot day, which made the hall suddenly cold, making people can't help but shiver.
Princess Xuan bit her lip, her chest was calm, but she didn't dare to speak again.
Princess Yu fell down, and her straight and upright waist slowly collapsed. In a few days, a few wisps of white appeared on her sideburns, and the fine lines that were forever hidden under the delicate makeup were also revealed.
Her tears flowed involuntarily, and she murmured softly, "It's not them, who is it?" Who killed my child? ”
Emperor Xuanwu looked at her expression and was inevitably sad, lowered his head and sighed, and shook his head secretly, "Then do you have any other progress?" ”
Jing Han glanced at Mu Shulin, Mu Shulin understood, and he continued to say, "Back to my father, King Rong said just now, we just haven't decided yet, but we already have eyebrows, we asked our father to recruit everyone today, just to find the murderer in the court." ”
"Oh? You say the real murderer is above this hall? Emperor Xuanwu's eyes lit up and he was dumbfounded.
"Yes, the murderer is among us." Mu Shulin made a fool of himself, and did not immediately reveal the identity of the murderer, but told the story, "The murderer is clever and wants to push the killing of King Xuan to the bottom of everything, so he framed the most suspicious Princess Chen." ”
Emperor Xuanwu was a little anxious and said, "What way?" ”
Mu Shulin said: "I don't know if the emperor and you still remember what the coroner said when he inspected King Xuan's body, he said that King Xuan's shoulder was stabbed and injured by a sharp weapon." ”
The queen nodded, "That's the case. ”
Mu Shulin continued: "Originally, when we investigated, we didn't know what King Xuan was injured by, but the murderer gave us the answer. He smiled and said sarcastically, "This murderer is so stupid, if she hadn't made a move, maybe we wouldn't have suspected her." ”
Mu Xuefu was simply stunned by him, and he didn't get to the point for a long time, so he couldn't help urging: "What the hell have you done, tell me quickly." ”
Mu Shulin glanced at her, his eyes were full of doting, this sister was always so anxious.
This glance was seen by the eldest princess of Yong'an, and her heart was stagnant and it was difficult to breathe. For so many years, she only saw this kind of look when he looked at Princess Chen, why did she have this look, is it really as Princess Yu and Princess Xuan said, Mu Shi is a fox spirit who specializes in seducing men?
Urged by his sister, Mu Shulin stopped talking nonsense and cut straight to the point, "The murderer was afraid that the evidence of Princess Chen's killing of King Xuan was insufficient, so he deliberately created evidence. She sent someone to secretly transfer the sharp weapon that had been pierced into King Xuan's shoulder to Princess Chen, so as to blame Princess Chen. But she was too anxious, the emperor had already grounded King Chen and Princess Chen, where was it so easy to enter the Chaohua Yunwei Pavilion. ”
His sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he never stopped, "The people of that palace can't enter the Chaohua Yunwei Pavilion, and they are afraid that they won't be able to pay the difference when they go back, so they buried her under a tree." But her abnormal behavior was seen by me and King Rong. Out of curiosity, after the palace people left, we dug up what she hid under the tree to find out, and who knew that a golden hairpin was dug up. ”
He took out the golden hairpin from his sleeve and raised it above his head, "It was this golden hairpin with blood that made me and King Rong even more confused, and it was also associated with King Xuan's murder." Later, after repeated inspections, we found that this golden hairpin was a sharp weapon that injured King Xuan. ”
