Xiao Ti still looked cold and indifferent, and he had no intention of shaking at all.

Shen Rui was bored with himself, and finally walked out of Jingmingzhai with a stomach full of anger.

As soon as the people left, Yu Yuanyu immediately put down the happy water of the fat house and asked.

"If you reject the Six Princes so directly, he will definitely hate you, right?"

Xiao Ti said lightly: "He was raised by Concubine Shu to be arrogant, but if you really want to talk about Wen Taowuluo, he is really not the opponent of other princes, and he may not be the one who can ascend the throne in the end." ”

Yu Yuanyu remembered Shu Guifei's hostility towards herself, and couldn't help but whisper.

"It's best not to let the six princes ascend to the throne, otherwise there will definitely not be a good life for me in the future."

Xiao Ti: "You also have a grudge against the Six Princes?" ”

"I have no enmity with the Sixth Prince, but I have a grudge against Concubine Shu.

No, it's just that she unilaterally hates me, and I don't know where I provoked her.

On the day I entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings, she put a poisonous snake in my sedan chair.

Fortunately, I'm not afraid of snakes, if it were someone else, I would be scared to death on the spot.

Afterwards, she also wanted to frame me, not to say that I brought the poisonous snake into the palace.

If Empress Wen hadn't come forward to help me speak, I would have had to kneel on the palace road for several hours.

She's just a concubine now, so it's so sideways.

If I really let her be the queen mother in the future, wouldn't my life be even more difficult? ”

Xiao Ti frowned: "Why didn't you tell me these things before?" ”

Yu Yuan scratched his head: "There were too many things that happened that day, and I didn't have time to tell you this, and then I forgot about it after a long time." ”

She had also doubted that the fake palace maid who wanted to murder her would be arranged by Concubine Shu.

But then I thought about it and thought it was unlikely.

Shu Guifei let the poisonous snake bite her, and it was an accident that she could get away with it, but if she was killed in the palace, the nature of the matter would be completely different, and in the end, Shu Guifei would probably compensate herself.

Taking such a big risk just to target a princess who has no threat to herself makes logical sense.

Xiao Ti looked helpless.

"How can you forget such an important thing?"

Yu Yuanxuan smiled embarrassedly: "I was wrong, I won't be in the future." ”

Xiao Ti rubbed her little head.

"There is one thing you may not know, Concubine Shu and Shu are cousins, and Shu is Lu Yaoguang's wife. After Lu Yaoguang was demoted, their family had a bad time, and Concubine Shu also pleaded with the emperor for this matter, but unfortunately it didn't succeed. ”

Yu Xuan suddenly said: "So she holds a grudge against us?" ”

Xiao Ti bowed slightly: "Hmm." ”

Yu Yuan felt very wronged.

"Concubine Shu is too unreasonable!

Lu Yiguang is self-inflicted, what does it have to do with us?

Besides, you also pleaded with him, if it weren't for your intercession, Lu Luoguang might have fallen to the ground long ago.

Why doesn't she remember good just if she remembers badly?

Besides, the person who ordered the debasement of Lu Luoguang was the emperor.

If Concubine Shu wants to blame the emperor, why should she implicate me? ”

Xiao Ti: "The persimmon picks up the soft pinch, she doesn't dare to blame the emperor, and she can't attack me, so she can only bully you." ”

Yu Yuan pursed her lips: "Hmph, to put it bluntly, it is to bully the soft and be afraid of the hard!" ”

Meng Xizhou knocked on the door and reminded, "The people in the palace are still waiting outside." ”

Yu Xuan pushed Xiao Ti out.

"Let's go, go early and come back early."

After Xiao Ti left the Dharma Division, he rode straight to the palace.

By the time he arrived at the Zhengde Hall, the group of people who were kneeling at the door had already left.

The old emperor not only summoned Xiao Ti this time, but also summoned Wei Yu at the same time.

"I called you over today to let you continue to investigate Concubine Yue's case."

Wei was puzzled: "Isn't it already determined that the real murderer is real?" ”

Even if Empress Wen is determined to die, this does not prove that she is really innocent.

Old Emperor: "I understand what you mean, but there is no evidence to prove that the Empress is guilty. ”

"Hopefully, Xue will testify."

Old Emperor: "Wangxue is dead. ”

Xiao Ti and Wei Yu were both stunned.

"Dead?"

Wei Huaien, who was standing beside him, took the initiative to solve their doubts.

"Last night, Wang Xue died in the cell of the Shen Penal Division, and it wasn't until this morning that no one found out that she had hit the wall and died, which looked like a suicide."

Wei Xiao couldn't understand: "Why did she suddenly commit suicide?" Could it be that someone killed him and deliberately disguised suicide? ”

Wei Huaien shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the Shen Penal Division is heavily managed, and the emperor specially emphasized yesterday that he should take good care of Shou Wangxue, from the time she was locked up to the discovery of her body, no one has ever seen her during this time, and no one has sent anything to the cell, not even food and water." ”

"Then why did she kill herself?"

The old emperor spoke slowly: "Could it be that she is ashamed in her heart and has no shame to live, so she will choose to commit suicide?" ”

Xiao Ti quickly understood what he meant and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with Wangxue's confession?" ”

Wei Yu quickly retorted.

"She voluntarily identified Empress Wen as murdering Concubine Yue, she doesn't need to lie!"

Xiao Ti asked rhetorically: "Since she didn't lie, why did she commit suicide?" ”

Wei was speechless.

Old Emperor: "No matter what, Wangxue is already dead, and now there is no evidence to convict the queen, this case must continue to be investigated, I called you over to ask you what you think?" ”

Wei Xiao's reaction was quick and he spoke first.

"Although Wangxue is dead, there are still many palace maids and eunuchs in Fengyi Palace, Weichen suggests that they all be arrested and interrogated strictly, as long as one person is willing to confide the truth, the truth of the case can be revealed."

The old emperor asked, "But what if the queen is really innocent, how can you explain to her afterwards?" ”

Wei Xiao is neither humble nor arrogant.

"If the queen is innocent, Weichen is willing to accept any punishment!

As long as he can help the emperor solve his worries, no matter what he asks Weichen to do, Weichen is willing! ”

The old emperor bowed slightly: "Your loyalty is indeed worthy of praise." ”

Then he looked at Xiao Ti again.

"Why don't you speak? Don't you have any ideas? ”

Xiao Ti spoke slowly.

"This case started with the remains of a baby exhumed in the palace.

All of us suspected that the baby was the child of the Moon Princess.

But doubt can only be doubt after all, and if you want to know what the truth is, you have to dig up the grave and take a look.

If Concubine Yue's child is still in the coffin.

It means that the remains of the baby in the Liucui Palace are not the children of Concubine Yue at all.

Our investigation was in the wrong direction from the start. ”

Wei Xiao looked at him in disbelief, as if he was listening to some fantasy.

"Are you crazy? You want to dig up the grave of the Moon Princess?! ”

At the beginning, Concubine Yue died in childbirth, and the little prince who gave birth was also stillborn.

Such a small prince couldn't stand alone on the monument, so the Ministry of Rites let him be buried with Concubine Yue.

In this way, not only can the little prince have a place to live, but also let their mother and son not be separated after death.
