228 Third Parties

After a while, the body of Concubine Lan was carried in, carrying a white cloth, just like the night she was carried out of the palace.

Chu Changge walked past her, commanded the guards to put down Concubine Lan's body, and she lifted the white cloth.

Everyone can see it clearly, and sure enough, under this white cloth is Concubine Lan.

It's just that Chu Changge has been emphasizing just now that the key to this case is on Concubine Lan's corpse, and everyone looks at Concubine Lan, but they still can't see any clues.

Chu Changge smiled slightly, her thin lips were slightly curled, which was her unique confidence and pride, "Your Majesty, Lord Lan, please see that Concubine Lan's neck is strangled into a straight line." If Concubine Lan's sister was strangled while she was alive, then this strangulation mark must be a slight curve. Just like a fish dies, the body of the fish is soft, hard, and soft, and the strangulation marks will also change with the body. 醢"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, this emperor is really knowledgeable, and he is worthy of being the first person to judge the case in Daning Kingdom.

"That can only mean that Concubine Lan was killed first and then raped, what does this have to do with who is the murderer?" Dou Yifan also came over and spoke disdainfully. He is sure that Ren Chu Changge is smart, and he can't find out who is the real murderer.

Chu Changge was also unimpressed, and continued, "It is indeed as Lord Dou said, it can only prove this. But—" She raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly, glancing at him, "Lord Dou, please look here." Ti"

Dou Yifan looked at where she was pointing, Rao is he had never been surprised, but at this moment, his eyes were dark, and he became slightly panicked.

Xiao Yu also fixed his eyes to take a look, only to see Chu Chang Singer pointing at the marks under the purple strangulation marks on Lan Fei's neck, which were pinch marks.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu understood that this Lan Concubine did not die of strangulation by the belt, the real cause of death was strangulation, and the strangulation caused by the belt was just to cover up.

She had to admire Chu Changge, this woman does have two brushes, no wonder she is the woman on the tip of the emperor's heart.

"Just a few finger prints, can you prove who the murderer is?" Dou Yifan laughed, this smile seemed to hide something.

In the circle of people around here, there was also a person who suddenly turned pale in the face.

Some officials exchanged their heads and whispered, and then asked Kong Yiming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, "Master Kong, can you see any fame?"

Kong Yiming lowered his eyebrows, "Let's listen to the queen." ”

As soon as Kong Yiming finished speaking, he heard Chu Changge respond coldly to Dou Yifan: "This is natural, from these fingerprints, and this murderer is in this hall." You must know that the palace and the emperor chose to clarify Xia Ti's punishment today, just to wait for this fingerprint to be fully revealed, and let this murderer show his original form in front of the blue lord!"

"Empress Chu still don't want to play dumb riddles anymore, quickly tell who is the murderer?" Lan Rongzhan couldn't hold back the anxiety and excitement in his heart.

Xiao Yu also felt a fierce mass in his chest, this murderer was on top of this hall? Who could it be? She couldn't help but look at Dou Yifan slightly, his face had changed from a little frightened just now to a faint smile, weird and flat like water.

Chu Changge blessed the Blue Lord again, and smiled, "Back to the Blue Lord, this murderer is the purple-clothed Hou Yue Wenhua." ”

"What? How could it be the Purple Marquis?"

The whole hall was shocked, and all speculated, and they all looked at the purple-clothed marquis, only to see that there was a trace of misery on his old face with a gentle and Confucian atmosphere, but he chuckled to himself.

"Queen Mother, this murder pays attention to evidence, how can you determine that your father is the murderer based on a few finger prints, isn't this a joke?"

Yue Dongrui took the lead and spoke for his father.

The emperor was not surprised, but just frowned slightly and looked at the father and son of the Yue family.

"Little Hou Ye, this purple-clothed Hou is your father, and you are your own protection. He raped and killed Concubine Lan, and blamed Xia Ti for punishment, maybe there are some ulterior secrets. ”

The person who spoke was Qi Wei, he was a close confidant of the emperor, of course he had to go to the emperor's side, even if he didn't want the murderer to be Yue Wenhua.

At this time, Dou Yifan also squinted his eyes, his pure black eyes were full of gloomy regret, he looked at the purple-clothed Hou, his words changed sharply, and he immediately became a villain who fell into the well, "Hou Ye, if you want a woman, why don't you mention it to Xiao Hou Ye? He is a frequent visitor to the land of fireworks, what kind of beautiful woman can't get it? Why do you want to think about the emperor's woman?"

"Queen Mother, since you say that Ben Hou is a villain, that also makes Ben Hou die blindly. The purple-clothed marquis shook it off, calmly and calmly scanned the crowd, and fixed it on Chu Changge's face.

Chu Changge only sighed in his heart, but he really didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin. She raised her eyebrows, still full of confidence, "Your Majesty, Lord Lan, all the princes and ministers, please look here?"

Everyone leaned their faces to look, and saw that where she was pointing, the pinch marks on Concubine Lan's neck were just finger prints, so what was the subtlety?

"What is this? Forgive the old minister's clumsiness, the queen mother should stop playing tricks and tell the mystery quickly. Kong Shangshu asked impatiently.

Choked by Kong Shangshu's words, Chu Changge's face was a little unpleasant, but he still maintained his ladylike demeanor, and said, "Ziyi Hou, can I borrow your right hand?"

Ziyi Hou was slightly stunned, but he still answered her and handed his hand over, if he didn't answer her, it would be even more criticized.

Everyone watched as his hand was led by Chu Changge and slowly compared it with the finger marks on Concubine Lan's neck, and something magical happened, the finger marks overlapped, but the jade wrench on his thumb and the slightly wide circle of bruises did not coincide in the slightest.

Only then did everyone understand that this was not a handprint, but a jade wrench. What Chu Changge was referring to just now was not these finger prints, but a slightly wide circle on the thumb, and among the ministers, only the purple-clothed marquis had the habit of wearing jade wrenching fingers.

At this moment, Ziyihou's face turned pale little by little.

Yue Dongrui was shocked, it turned out that this was the so-called evidence, although he had already known it in his heart, he knew that his father did it. The first emperor defiled his mother's name after drinking, he was the illegitimate son of the first emperor, did his father have to defile the emperor's woman in order to be regarded as revenge?

"The evidence is ironclad, Master Hou, how can you quibble anymore?"

Chu Changge proudly raised the corners of her lips little by little, as if she was a judge who could decide life and death, and now, people respected her unattractive queen mother.

"Oh, it turns out that the instigator behind this scene is not Xia Tixing, but the Marquis of Ziyi who planted the victims?" said the guard who had tampered with the confession, and tampered with the confession again.

"It seems that the Marquis of Ziyi kidnapped your whole family, and also set up a net in Yanxia Lake to kill the queen, thanks to the coincidence of Yue Xiaoye, who came in time, so that the queen mother was spared, and now I have the opportunity to expose the true face of the murderer in this hall, and return Xia Ti's punishment and Princess Yan's innocence. Dou Yifan said awe-inspiringly.

All this evidence directly pointed the finger at the head of the Purple Marquis, who was already in the hands of the soldiers, and it was naturally easy to send these soldiers to assassinate.

It's just that the son who committed the crime, but the son will rescue. I'm afraid only Yue Dongrui himself knows this.

"Rebel minister, why do you want to do such a evil thing?" the emperor ordered.

The purple-clothed marquis's face was as white as death, and he slowly knelt down towards the emperor, pursed his lips tightly, and didn't say a word, and after quickly glancing at Dou Yifan, he lowered his gaze to his son.

People all say that silence is acquiescence, could it be that the Marquis in Ziyi is as ambitious as Qin Yu in the past?

The emperor closed his eyes suddenly, and then opened them quickly, hiding a murderous aura, "Send the Purple Marquis into the Heavenly Prison!"

This is what the emperor wants to explain to the king of Western Xia.

Xiao Yu looked at Yue Dongrui, the Marquis of Ziyi was imprisoned in the prison, I was afraid that the Yue family was about to fall, but the Marquis of Ziyi was also the emperor's father-in-law, and he was arrested when he said that he would be caught, which shows that the emperor is ruthless.

*

It was dark, and an oil lamp in the house was like a bean.

The door of the hall was open, and a warm evening breeze blew in, but it failed to blow away the sullenness in Xiaoyu's heart, everything happened in the hall today too quickly, although she was happy that her father could escape from prison, but was all this really done by the Marquis of Ziyi?

So is Yue Dongrui really in the same group as his father, and they are all princes and henchmen?

At that time in Yanxia Lake, Yue Dongrui had long known that his father had sent assassins, and he rushed to save them in order to protect her and the emperor. He was never in league with his father.

In this way, Yue Dongrui will be in a difficult situation in the future, and it is very likely that the emperor will let him hand over the military power immediately.

However, with her one day, if this friend needs her, she will do what she can to help him.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a voice outside the door, "I heard that you didn't eat tonight, is it because you are very harmful?" I heard people say that it will be better to eat some sour plums, come and taste them, this plum can enter your mouth." ”

She turned her face, and saw that under the light and shadow of the light orange, he was dressed in a robe like a breeze and the moon, and walked slowly with a plate in his hand, and his smile was only softer than the night breeze.

"Thank you to the emperor for your love. She smiled reluctantly and got up to give him a blessing.

He stepped forward and gently helped her up, and when he saw the scroll spread out on the table, he glanced at it, it was a copy of the "Lotus Sutra of the Mystic Law", and he smiled lightly and asked, "When did you like to read scriptures?"

"I'm afraid that you will kill too much in the future, and the concubines will chant sutras and Buddha for you, hoping to drive away disasters and avoid disasters. ”

Murong Yan wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, knowing what she was insinuating about, "I tried my best to rescue my father-in-law, but I still made you dissatisfied." ”

She wasn't dissatisfied, she just didn't want to wronged a good person in vain, "Then do you think the Marquis of Ziyi is really a murderer?

Murong squinted his eyes, he didn't doubt it, but under the evidence, there was no doubt that the purple-clothed marquis was the murderer, and he said after a while, "That person is also my brother, and I don't want him to be embarrassed." But the evidence is conclusive, his adoptive father committed this thing, and no one can protect him!"

"Then there is no hidden secret, how can this case be so hasty, hurt innocent people, is this what you want to see?"

Xiao Yu still feels that there is still a hidden secret, although it is indeed unforgivable for Ziyihou to collude with the prince to have a rebellious heart, but one yard is one yard, she always feels that this matter is not like Ziyihou did it, I heard that Ziyihou loves Mrs. Zhong very much.

Murong Huan was really dissatisfied with her attitude, as if he deliberately framed the Purple Yihou, it was obviously he who took great pains to save her father, and she didn't even bother to give him a good look, so what was he doing here?

He put down the plate of plums he had carefully selected for her, and said coldly: "I came today just to tell you that I have ordered to leave for the East China Sea in three days to find mermaid pearls for you." Do you want to come with me?"

"Your Majesty, will you take the queen with you?"

She asked this first, if he was going to take the woman with him, then she would stay in the palace, and while he was away, she could also think of a way to escape from this place of right and wrong.

Murong Yan's face sank slightly, "What does it matter to you whether she goes or not?"

"This is naturally related, in case you fall in love with her next time, and you want to come to me again, I can't stand it, I have a cleanliness habit, and that cleanliness is even worse!"

Seeing that her face was gloomy inch by inch, she waved her hand, "It must be a long way to the East China Sea." Now that I am pregnant, it is not suitable to work and run, husband, if you are lonely when you travel, you should invite Chu Changge's mother and son to accompany you. ”

This woman has an idea for a while, there must be a conspiracy, he naturally will not let her succeed, more importantly, he is afraid that she will take the opportunity to slip away.

"Xiaoyu, you don't have a choice!

Murong Yan only left these cold words, and in the blink of an eye, he turned back and disappeared towards the road paved by the moonlight.

It's just that what Xiao Yu didn't know was that the moment he turned around, the corners of his lips became more and more pale, and the wound on his chest and his heart scured at the same time, and the pain was terrible.

Three days later, in the morning, when he wanted to be lazy in bed for a while, Xiao Yu was shouted by Murong Yan's two close maids.

I'm used to the leisurely life of sleeping until I wake up naturally, and suddenly I get up early, which is really uncomfortable.

For the convenience of movement, in the drowsy haze, he was changed into a set of riding clothes.

Then he was pulled out in a daze, saying that the prince's carriage had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for some time.

Suddenly a spirit, that guy waited for her for a while, and he would definitely be mad at her again, but he couldn't lift his spirit, regardless of whether he would be mad or not, you must know that these days, she always can't sleep enough, I don't know if it's related to pregnancy?

As soon as I went out, I saw the three dazzling purples, one was lighter, even if it was a riding outfit, it looked like it was graceful and graceful, and the other was deeper, warm and handsome, but this purple dress was a little evil, not suitable for this person's innate temperament. The third one is a small one, but he is also extravagant, and he is held in Chu Changge's arms.

Xiao Yu thought to herself, yo, she came out and wore a parent-child outfit, she was really a family with a conspicuous sao bag, and then looked down at her body, it turned out that the clothes he prepared for her were blue, and she knew that she was a third party at a glance.

Murong Yan waited for her outside for a while, he was going to be angry, but when he saw the slender figure come out, he was slightly stunned, and he even forgot the feeling of anger.

She changed into a royal blue narrow-sleeved robe today, with a jade belt at the waist, her hair tied up with a jade ring, a gauze hat, and thin-soled soap boots on her feet.

He couldn't help but think of her pretending to be a little eunuch, and now he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

In fact, when she pretends to be a man, she is very handsome and chic, and she will definitely not lose to the handsome men in Chang'an City.

Inexplicably, my heart moved, and I just wanted to get closer and take a good look at her.

Xiao Yu also looked at him at him by the threshold in a tangled daze, not feeling the tip of his nose sour.

What is it to ask her to go out like this, wake her up early in the morning, and she is in a bad mood. The two of them are sweet at home, and they have to dress like this virtue when they go out, as long as they have long eyes, they can see that they are not deliberately embarrassing her, and they are not trying to embarrass her.

Damn, she really wants to yell at Lao Tzu not to go.

She gritted her teeth and moved as she pleased, and was about to turn around, turn around and leave.

Who knew that the corners of his robe swayed, and he had already grabbed the back of her hand, "Where else do you want to go? What kind of big shelf are you, and you want us to wait for you for so long?

"I'm sorry, the concubine hasn't picked up her ears for a few years, and it's not surprising that she hasn't listened to the emperor's words. Also, the concubine is sick now and doesn't want to go out. ”

"If your temper is half as good as Yue Jia's, it won't give people such a headache. ”

This sentence is a bit familiar, her father used to teach her like this, saying that if she had half of her eldest sister or second sister, what would happen?

I heard this kind of thing before, but I wasn't angry, her eldest sister is her eldest sister, and her second sister is her second sister, how she knows that Shu Dali, how virtuous and virtuous she is has nothing to do with her, if she is also like her eldest sister or second sister, then she is not her, the three daughters are exactly the same, so isn't her father only one daughter?

And now this man also said the same thing about her, and unconsciously got angry in his heart, why did he compare her with his women?

She hated this feeling, if she was really so bad, he could just marry the woman he said he was good for, why provoke her like this, tease her? and make her belly bigger?
