"Master, the adults are already asleep, and we should go back. ”

Yonghe looked at Min Qingrou's reluctant appearance and reminded softly.

Min Qingrou got up at this time, and the moment she looked up, she saw Dugu Qiannan's scrutinizing eyes, as if she wanted to see through her heart.

She deliberately ignored the past, sighed, and instructed Yonghe, "Go back!"

After that, he lifted his heavy steps and walked out of Duguyu's door step by step.

"Concubine Rou, I have a question, can you answer me?"

Silently sent Min Qingrou all the way to the gate, and when she was about to get into the sedan chair, Dugu Tiannan suddenly spoke.

"Say whatever you want!"

Min Qingrou knew that Dugu Tiannan's heart must be full of doubts at this moment, her words and deeds all revealed her true identity, but she was afraid that Tannan had already realized it.

However, what happened to him was too bizarre, and for Tannan to accept it, I was afraid that more proof would be needed.

"Someone once told me that there is a special spirit snake on the west mountain of Yancheng, which can verify whether people are lying. Do you know why the snake is a lie detector?"

When Min Qingrou heard this, her eyes drooped.

Sure enough, Tannan began to test her.

When she was still in the boudoir, she was very interested in strange things, and once ventured to the West Mountain to catch the spirit snake that could detect lies. This kind of thing, of course, is indispensable for Dugu Tannan to escort. After the snake was caught, after repeated experiments, she finally figured out the authenticity of the spirit snake's polygraph. And this matter is only known to the sisters and brothers.

"There is a special toxin in the spirit snake's body, which is not harmful to ordinary people, but it is extremely lethal to people who are nervous. Liars will be subconsciously nervous, so they will fall for the venom of the spirit snake. The reason why the spirit snake can detect lies is because of this special reason. People don't know the situation, and they think it's a spiritual snake, but in fact, everything has a certain basis. ”

After listening to Min Qingrou's words, Dugu Tiannan's face immediately changed, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Why do you know?"

"Because ......" Min Qingrou glanced at Dugu Tiannan, turned around and was helped by Yonghe into the sedan chair. After sitting in the sedan chair, Yonghe did not put down the sedan curtain, because she knew that the master's words had not yet spoken.

"I've done this experiment myself!"

As soon as the words fell, Dugu Tiannan's face turned pale.

He staggered back and looked up at Min Qingrou, whose face was dark and uncertain in the sedan chair.

"I know that the matter of the Chengwang Mansion has been handed over to Yan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, for trial, will you go to the Criminal Department tomorrow to hear the trial?

The sedan curtain was lowered, covering the sadness and loneliness on Min Qingrou's face.

When she went home, she finally achieved what she wanted to do most after being reborn. But why did she feel even more upset?

"Master, don't be sad! Now that things have come to this point, then we must continue to persevere! Lord Dugu's sacrifice must not be in vain, you must calm down and seriously think about what to do next!"

Yonghe followed by the sedan chair and gave loyal advice.

She knew that her master's heart must be very chaotic at the moment, but now was a critical juncture and she couldn't relax. Her reminder is to let the master not be negligent because of the current family affection.

Now is the important juncture, the matter of King Cheng's Mansion is about to be put on the table, and King Cheng should be recalled to Kyoto soon. This is a tough battle, and success or failure depends on this move!

"I know! I'll take care of it. ”

From the sedan chair came the sound of Min Qingrou inhaling deeply.

The Criminal Department soon began to try the matter of Cheng Wangfu, and the relevant personnel of Cheng Wangfu were all interrogated to the court of the Criminal Department, including Xuanyuan Wuzhen.

The emperor decreed that even Xuanyuan Wuzhen, who was born in the six great families, did not dare to be presumptuous, and obediently stood in the court of the criminal department to be tried.

Yan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sat in the main hall, and Zhong Shun, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Yu Shi Dugu, the deputy inspector of the left, sat on both sides.

Yan Long was shocked and began the trial.

"Concubine Zhen, please tell me in detail about Concubine Qin's murder of the imperial heir in Chengwangfu. ”

Xuanyuan Wuzhen was in court for the first time, and her mood was inevitably nervous, she tried her best to suppress her worries, shook her sweaty hands, and then slowly spoke, telling Hanmei to the truth, asking herself, and Dugu Qiannan happened to break this matter and forced Concubine Qin out of her true face, from beginning to end.

"I see, so to speak, Concubine Qin actually has the main envoy behind her?"

"It should be! When Concubine Qin was besieged by Wei Siming and Dugu Gongzi, a man in black appeared, but unfortunately that person was so strong in martial arts that even Wei Siming couldn't catch him! And now that Concubine Qin is dead, I'm afraid there is no way to verify who this person is!"

Xuanyuan Wuzhen replied.

Yan Long nodded after hearing this, "Well, this official will send someone to continue to investigate." Now let's talk about Concubine Qin's murder of the emperor's heir, Dugu Gongzi said that he personally heard Concubine Qin's maid Hanmei tell the truth, saying that the miscarriage of Princess Cheng and the miscarriage of the mother were all caused by Concubine Qin's secret drugging, isn't it?"

Xuanyuan Wuzhen nodded and replied: "That's true! This matter is testified by Hanmei and Dr. Sun, who often treats Concubine Qin!"

Yan Long slapped the startled wood and shouted: "Someone is coming!

"Yes!"

Immediately, a messenger went down and brought in the two witnesses who were waiting outside.

"Hanmei, this official asks you, do you know that Concubine Qin secretly murdered Princess Cheng and Concubine Xuanyuan in the womb?"

Hanmei knelt on top of the lobby and replied respectfully: "Back to the adult's words, the slave and maid know! The slave and maid only discovered this matter by overhearing the words of Concubine Qin and Dr. Sun! Concubine Qin was so rebellious that the slave and maid did not dare to hide it, so she reported the matter to Concubine Zhen! The slave and maid also secretly observed that Concubine Qin was sending the maid of Yushengju to give medicine to the two maids. ”

"Hanmei, is what you said true? This is the court of the Criminal Department, if you have half a lie, then don't blame the ruthlessness of this official's subordinates!" Yan Long glared angrily and shouted.

Hanmei leaned over and bowed: "Back to my lord, what the slave said is true! If there is half a lie, I am willing to accept any punishment from the adult!"

"Hmm!"

Yan Long listened and glanced at Zhong Shun and Dugu Tiannan of Dali Temple, and Zhong Shun and Dugu Tiannan both nodded.

After exchanging opinions with the other two, Yan Long slapped the shocked Tang Mu again, and shouted at Sun Long, who was already in a cold sweat trembling in the hall: "Bold Sun Cheng!

"My lord! The grass people are coerced by Concubine Qin, and the grass people don't know that Concubine Qin has done such a rebellious thing, otherwise even if they borrow ten guts from the grass people, the grass people will not dare to take the child soup to Concubine Qin!"

Sun Cheng seemed to have been frightened at this time, and he would only kowtow and beg for mercy!

"So, Concubine Qin did use the shunzi soup you gave to put it in the diet of Princess Cheng and Concubine Xuanyuan, which caused both of them to have miscarriages?"

Yan Long confirmed again.

"The grass people have been wronged! Although the grass people took the shunzi soup to Concubine Qin, the grass people don't know where she uses it! I beg the adults to be merciful! I beg the adults to spare the grass people!"

Sun Cheng trembled with fright, crying and complaining.

"So, what Hanmei said is true, you did take the avoidance decoction medicine to Concubine Qin?"

“...... Be. Sun Cheng finally lowered his head and confessed.

"Someone, bring the maid to pick chrysanthemums!" Yan Long gave another order.

Soon the maid was brought up. Cai Ju is a thin, dark, mediocre-looking maid. Usually what she does in the house is rough and heavy work, very inconspicuous, but I didn't expect her to be bought by Concubine Qin.

"Boldly pick chrysanthemums!, are you guilty?" Yan Long was shocked.

Who knew that this Cai Ju was not afraid at all, and bowed his head with a calm expression: "My lord, the slave and the maid are guilty! The slave and the maid are all recruited! It is Concubine Qin who regularly gives the slave and maid to avoid the child's soup, and let the slave and maid go down in the diet of the two maids, so that the two maids have a miscarriage! The slave and maid know that they deserve to die! But ask for death!"

Yan Long was taken aback when he saw that this chrysanthemum was so calm, but he still asked one more question: "Are you sure what you said is the truth?"

"Yes!" Cai Ju was very determined.

"Okay! Come on, let the three of them draw a charge!"

As soon as Yan Long gave an order, a messenger immediately brought the confession over and asked Hanmei, Sun Long, and Cai Ju to draw it.

"Concubine Qin plotted to kill the emperor's heir, the evidence is conclusive, and her crime should be punished, but because Concubine Qin is dead, the case is officially closed!"

"Wait!"

Yan Long was just about to announce the guilt of the others, but Dugu Tiannan suddenly stood up and said, "There is still an inside story in this case, I demand a thorough investigation!"

"Lord Dugu, what do you mean by that?"

Yan Long was a little puzzled.

Dugu Tiannan arched his hand and said: "Lord Yan, my sister has always been in good health, although she was drugged by Concubine Qin and had a miscarriage, she will never die!

"This ...... Lord Dugu, you said that the death of Princess Cheng is strange, I don't know if there is any evidence?"

Yan Long thought for a while and asked.

Dugu Tiannan immediately replied: "Don't hide it, I asked Concubine Qin in Chengwang's Mansion that day, and forced her into a corner, she personally said that my sister's death was victimized, not because of a miscarriage at all!"

"What? Lord Dugu, can you elaborate on that?"

Yan Long was taken aback.

"Lord Dugu, as a family member of the victim in the case, participating in this case is already the emperor's special kindness, and now if there is no evidence, you must think twice before you speak!"

Dali Temple Qing Zhong Shun frowned and reminded.

"Lord Yan, when Concubine Qin said this, most of the people in the Chengwang Mansion were present, and there were Xuanyuan Wufang, the daughter of Xuanyuan Taiwei, and Wei Siming, the guard of the Chengwang Mansion, who could testify, if you don't believe it, you can pass them over and ask them!"

Yan Long heard this, pondered for a moment and said, "Come on, spread Xuanyuan Flawless and Wei Siming to the court!"

Soon, Xuanyuan Wuflaw and Wei Siming were both brought to the hall, and the two of them saluted respectfully, and Yan Long asked: "Just now, Lord Dugu said that Concubine Qin broke the news that Princess Cheng was killed by someone before she died, but is there such a thing?"

Xuanyuan Wuzhen glanced at Xuanyuan Wuzhen, who was a little nervous, and replied softly: "Lord Hui, Concubine Qin did say this. ”

Yan Long looked at Wei Siming again, and Wei Siming also replied: "This is indeed the case!"

"Is that true?" Yan Long was surprised, and then turned back to Dugu Tiannan and asked, "Lord Dugu, I don't know who killed Princess Cheng that Concubine Qin pointed out?"

Dugu tilted his head and looked at Xuanyuan Wuzhen, his eyes were gloomy as ink, and he said word by word: "It's none other than the side concubine Xuanyuan Wuzhen, and ...... His Royal Highness Cheng Wang!"

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked!
