Hearing this, Xue Lingyao laughed arrogantly: "I'm not afraid, sister, are you afraid?"

Anyway, Gu Qingchi has never looked at her seriously, if he pokes things out like this, it won't hurt her much, maybe he can directly implicate Shi Miaoyu, and then his task will be completed by mistake.

The more Xue Lingyao thought about it, the happier she became, and she didn't expect that as the side concubine of King Anling, if Gu Qingchi was really implicated in this matter, she would not end well.

Seeing Xue Lingyao's complacent appearance, Jiang Yuyan gritted her teeth with hatred, she was really afraid.

"The stakes are high, and you'll have to give me time to think about it. ”

Seeing Jiang Yuyan's compromise, Xue Lingyao smiled more and more proudly: "I'll give you a day to think about it, and I'll answer at this time tomorrow." ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Jiang Yuyan's expression again, and giggled: "There is not much time, Jiang Yuyan, you have to think about it." ”

After Xue Lingyao threw down the threat, she turned around and left with a sense of satisfaction, not noticing Jiang Yuyan's gloomy eyes.

She looked at Xue Lingyao's back, and her eyes gradually condensed killing intent.

Xue Lingyao, you must not keep it!

......

"Princess, Concubine Xue is dead. ”

When Chu Xue went back and forth to the news of Xue Lingyao's death, Shi Miaoyu had only gotten up for a short time, and her expression was still a little worried.

Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu even shook his head and subconsciously asked, "Who died?"

After Chu Xue said it again, Shi Miaoyu reacted to the meaning of the maid's words, her heart jumped, and she asked, "How did you die?"

Chu Xue told the story of the morning, and said at the end: "When the maid found out, the side concubine was already dead. After checking the body, there were no other injuries, it should have been a stumble and fallen into the water. It's just that he didn't ask for help, so he didn't know the specific cause of death. ”

When I got up this morning, the maids and daughters-in-law went to the backyard to clean as usual, but who knew that the cause of Xue Lingyao's death was found in the lake in the garden.

The lake has not yet thawed, but the ice is not firm, and there is a crack, as if Xue Lingyao stepped on the ice and fell into it.

Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu's brows furrowed tightly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Xue asked tentatively, "Princess, do you want to ask a servant to come over and check it?"

If it's just that the maid is dead, it's just a side concubine, and it's not too much to report to Dali Temple.

But now is an extraordinary period, and Chu Xue also knows that it is better to have more things than less things now, so he let people suppress things early and hurriedly go back and forth to Shi Miaoyu.

Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu pinched his forehead and said in a deep voice, "Is the prince back?"

This is a big matter, she has to go and talk to Gu Qingchi.

Chu Xue shook her head and said, "The prince hasn't come back yet." ”

I didn't want her to say this, but I saw Gu Qingchi walk in from outside.

When Gu Qingchi entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant, because he asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Miaoyu reluctantly smiled, walked over and hung up the snow fox cloak for him, and then retreated.

When only the two of them were left in the room, he said, "What do you think about this?"

Shi Miaoyu had never encountered this kind of thing before, and now that she knew it, she didn't have any idea for a while. Originally, she could still use her brain, but now that she saw Gu Qingchi, she subconsciously wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Leave this matter to the king, and don't dirty your eyes. ”

Gu Qingchi has been busy for the past two days, but Xue Lingyao has someone staring, and he should be able to know what happened. But this is a dead person, and he dislikes bad luck, so he doesn't want Shi Miaoyu to take care of it.

Hearing him say this, Shi Miaoyu agreed, and asked again if he wanted to ask for help, and saw Gu Qingchi shaking his head and said, "No need, this king will go to check later." ”

He said so, Shi Miaoyu nodded and ignored the matter.

It was not early at this time, Shi Miaoyu thought that Gu Qingchi had not eaten breakfast yet, so he ordered someone to pass the meal in.

It was only when she heard the news that she was a little upside down when she ate, and she put down her chopsticks after only a few bites.

Seeing her like this, Gu Qingchi understood in his heart and patted her hand to appease. After Shi Miaoyu's mood stabilized, he turned around and went to the study.

Although Shi Miaoyu didn't care about it, she was the housewife, so after the investigation results came out, the maid still came over to give Shi Miaoyu a reply.

"Back to the princess, it was an accident. ”

After Gu Qingchi finished speaking in the morning, Shi Miaoyu really didn't interfere again, and when she heard the maid's words at this time, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Accident?"

Seeing that her expression was a little disbelieving, the maid nodded and replied, "This is also a coincidence." Concubine Xue has been unsettled recently, and when she got up this morning, she wanted to go to the back garden for a walk. The few people who were close to her were originally following, but she drove them away. Then the maids watched from afar, and saw her trampling on the ice on the lake as if she were venting. It was also said that her life was not good, but she stepped on the air and fell directly. The maid ran out of ideas for a while, and hurriedly went to ask someone to salvage it, but it was too late. ”

Hearing these words, Shi Miaoyu's brows not only did not stretch, but felt that something was wrong.

For example, if the maid went to call someone, why was there no movement in the backyard, and the body was found by the mother-in-law first?

Seeing Shi Miaoyu like this, the maid also lowered her head and waited for Shi Miaoyu's orders.

The more Shi Miaoyu thought about it, the more suspicious she felt, just thinking that she was sent back by Gu Qingchi, probably because the prince didn't want to let him know something.

Thinking of this, Shi Miaoyu waved his hand and let the maid go down, while he pinched his forehead.

That's it, Gu Qingchi didn't want her to get involved in this matter, so she just assumed that this was the truth.

However, there is one thing that Shi Miaoyu guessed wrong.

Gu Qingchi didn't deliberately want to hide it from her, but the cause of death that he reported was like this.

Some things should not be said too clearly, and there are other things mixed in this matter, so those maids really think that this is the truth, and when they return to Shi Miaoyu, they also say it according to this statement.

......

"Lord Wang, that's the way it is. ”

The dark guard explained the ins and outs of the matter, and lowered his head and said: "This matter is a mistake of his subordinates, and he failed to take people seriously. ”

Kneeling on the ground was a woman, dressed as a maid, and it was Ling Mo beside Xue Lingyao.

Gu Qingchi sat there, and he didn't let her get up, just thinking about what happened to him.

Xue Lingyao did not commit suicide, but was killed by Jiang Yuyan. It's just that he didn't expect that he was just negligent, but it caused some people to think like this.

After a while, he stood up and said lightly: "Since she is dead, it is useless for you to be here, go back and receive the punishment." ”

Hearing this, Ling Mo's expression did not change, and he thanked him and said, "Yes, my subordinates have retired." ”

After Ling Mo left, Gu Qingchi stood up and walked towards Jiang Yuyan's courtyard.

Seeing Gu Qingchi coming, Jiang Yuyan's expression was not surprised at all, and she even gave a few thoughtful courtesies: "Say hello to the prince." ”

There was no panic between her eyebrows, only peace.

If Gu Qingchi didn't know the antecedents, I am afraid he would not have thought that it was this person who pinned Xue Lingyao to death in the water and drowned her.

"You must know why this king has come. ”

Hearing Gu Qingchi's words, Jiang Yuyan took a deep breath and said, "Lord Wang, I killed the person." ”

She admitted it neatly, but it caused Gu Qingchi to look at her more.

"Reason. ”

At this time, there were only the two of them in the room, and Jiang Yuyan had already guessed that Gu Qingchi would inevitably come, and said word by word: "Because she wants to borrow my hand to kill the princess, I will kill her." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingchi sneered and said, "You are frank." ”

For some reason, he was clearly laughing, but Jiang Yuyan felt a little scared.

She took a deep breath, forced her emotions to dissipate, and bowed her head and said, "The concubine doesn't dare to hide it from the prince." ”

From before preparing to kill Xue Lingyao, Jiang Yuyan had already thought about what to do in the future.

Xue Lingyao threatened herself, even if she obediently killed Shi Miaoyu this time, there would be another threat, the next request, this is a bottomless pit.

What's more, Shi Miaoyu is Gu Qingchi's dead end, and she can't touch it.

She didn't want to die, so she could only die Xue Lingyao.

As for Gu Qingchi, she believed that if she killed Xue Lingyao, she might still have a way to live, but if she killed Shi Miaoyu, then she would really have no vitality at all.

Therefore, Jiang Yuyan is gambling.

Gu Qingchi looked at the woman in front of him, he had always known that this was a scheming, and he had even used this scheming. But if it weren't for Xue Lingyao's death, he never thought that the woman in front of him could be so vicious.

Feeling Gu Qingchi's unkind eyes, Jiang Yuyan's face did not change, but her fingers were clenched nervously.

She was still scared.

All the fears are because they are not really dangerous.

After a long time, I heard Gu Qingchi ask lightly: "Don't dare to hide it?"

Jiang Yuyan's expression froze, and she could tell from his voice that she was not good.

The next moment, I heard Gu Qingchi say: "So, what about you and the prince?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yuyan's face turned pale instantly.

If it was speculation before, this time, she confirmed it.

Gu Qingchi really knew.

She bit her lower lip stubbornly, trying not to let her voice tremble: "Lord, in this matter, the concubine body was forced." ”

She didn't know how much Gu Qingchi knew, even though she knew that Gu Qingchi probably wouldn't kill herself because of this matter, she still didn't dare to tell it all.

So, Jiang Yuyan said what she had made up a long time ago.

"The prince fell in love with the concubine at the banquet, and he ...... Threaten me to commit myself to him. After that, the concubine had to do it, I am just a woman, I want to live, please forgive the prince. ”

She tried her best to say that she was pitiful, but she saw Gu Qingchi's expression with mockery.
