Deng Yuchuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Now I've told you everything I know.

Shouldn't you also tell me how you met Ri Niang? ”

Xiao Ti said truthfully: "The people who really saw Li Niang were Xuan Xuan and Xiao Hai, and when this king saw Li Niang, she was already a corpse. ”

He was still asleep and couldn't speak for the time being, so he could only let Ling Hai do it for him.

Ling Hai was also present when he saw Li Niang, and as a bystander, he heard the conversation between Li Niang and Li Niang clearly.

He repeated those words word for word.

Deng Yuchuan listened carefully, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

His sister is already gray-haired, but she still has to sell red bean soup in the temple alone, you can imagine how hard she has lived over the years.

She is the daughter of the Deng family, she has not touched the spring water with her fingers since she was a child, and she should have been pampered and raised by Jin Zun, but she ended up like this.

How can Deng Yuchuan accept this?

Holding back the grief in his heart, he asked.

"How did Ri Niang die?"

Xiao Ti: "Her body was salvaged from the Royal River, and after examination, she died of drowning, and there were four stab wounds on her body before she died. ”

"She has scars on her face and body, all of them are old scars, and judging by the color of the scars, they are forty years old. ”

In other words, the scars on Li Niang's body were there before she left the Deng family.

Deng Yuchuan clutched his crutches and gritted his teeth.

"Who the hell hurt her?"

Xiao Ti: "Regarding the case of Li Niang, we are still investigating, and Li Niang left us a clue before her death. ”

With that, he bent down, reached out and took his curling left hand, and lifted her sleeve up, revealing the jade bracelet she wore on her wrist.

In order to avoid loss or damage to the bracelet, the bracelet is always worn on the hand and will not be taken off easily.

Deng Yuchuan stood up and walked over on crutches.

He looked at the bracelet carefully by the dim candlelight.

"I've never seen this bracelet in Fuzhong, it shouldn't be the Deng family's thing."

Xiao Ti explained: "It was originally an offering in the palace and was given to Concubine Meng by the emperor, but it finally appeared in the hands of Li Niang. ”

Hearing him mention Concubine Meng, Deng Yuchuan suddenly remembered.

"In the last letter that Li Niang wrote to me before she disappeared, she mentioned Concubine Meng.

She said that Concubine Meng was going to hold a flower viewing party in Beijing and invited many noble girls.

Li Niang and Luo Niang also received invitations, just as that year's draft was about to start.

They plan to go to Beijing to participate in elective courses, and by the way, go to the cherry blossom viewing party. ”

Deng Yuchuan paused when he said this, and explained in a slightly lowered voice.

"Luo Niang is the name of the Queen Mother today, Li Niang's full name is Deng Yuli, and the Queen Mother's full name is Deng Yuluo."

Xiao Ti had a guess in his heart, after the Deng sisters went to Yujing, they met Concubine Meng at the flower viewing party, and perhaps it was at that time that Concubine Meng gave her pair of bracelets to the two sisters.

After Li Niang left the Deng family, she was still wearing the jade bracelet.

After she gave birth to the child and gave the child to the old couple of the Feng family, she left the bracelet to the child as a souvenir.

That child should be Feng Lianghan, when he grew up, he married a bride and gave the bracelet to his wife Xie.

This would explain why Xie had that bracelet in his hand.

Deng Yuchuan asked when he saw Xiao Ti showing a thoughtful expression.

"Did His Royal Highness the King of the County think of something?"

Xiao Ti hesitated for a moment, but finally told his guess, and finally said.

"These are all speculations by this king, and there is no actual evidence, and they are not necessarily true."

Deng Yuchuan believed his guess for seven or eight points, and then asked.

"I wonder where Liniang's child is now?"

Xiao Ti said in a deep voice: "The whole door of the Feng family has been wiped out, and even the fetus in the Xie family's womb has not been spared. ”

Deng Yuchuan was like being struck by lightning, his eyes turned black, and his body shook twice involuntarily, as if he was going to fall down in the next moment.

Xiao Ti reached out to help him.

Deng Yuchuan hurriedly held on to the crutches to stabilize his figure, and then waved his hand at Xiao Ti, indicating that he didn't need help.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and it took a long time to barely squeeze a little sound out of his teeth.

"Who did that?"

Xiao Ti: "We are still investigating this case, and we don't know who the real culprit is." ”

Deng Yuchuan's eyes were red, and his voice trembled: "Is it Deng Yuluo?" ”

He didn't even shout the honorific title, and called the queen mother's maiden name.

Xiao Ti said cautiously: "There is no evidence, it cannot be confirmed." ”

Deng Yuchuan: "In other words, Deng Yuluo is very suspicious, right?" ”

Xiao Ti bowed his head slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

Deng Yuchuan's fingers holding the crutches kept straining, and his knuckles were faintly white.

His chest was filled with hatred.

"I knew it was her! I knew it was her! ”

Xiao Ti reminded: "Everything is just speculation, lack of substantial evidence, in case we guess wrong......"

Deng Yuchuan interrupted him.

"It's impossible to guess wrong, it must be Deng Yuluo!

She has been jealous of Li Niang since she was a child, and often robs Li Niang's things.

When I was a child, I thought she was still young, so I didn't take the conflict between her and Li Niang to heart.

I thought it would be good to wait for them to grow up.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yuluo became even worse,

took advantage of my absence to bully Li Niang and forced Li Niang to leave her hometown.

Now even Liniang's children are not spared.

Snake and scorpion poisonous woman, you can't die well! ”

Xiao Ti: "We must have conclusive evidence before we can convict the Queen Mother." ”

Deng Yuchuan said without hesitation.

"I'll go to Yujing with you, as long as I can see Li Niang's body, I can determine Li Niang's identity.

When the time comes, I will take Li Niang's body into the palace to confront the Queen Mother face to face, and see what else she has to say! ”

Xiao Ti: "If she insists on refusing to admit ......"

Deng Yuchuan: "Then I will die with her!" Even if I die, I will drag her to hell with me and let her make amends to Liniang! ”

Xiao Ti wanted to persuade again, but Deng Yuchuan was determined.

"I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you to rest, and we'll leave for Yujing tomorrow morning."

After Deng Yuchuan finished speaking, he walked out on crutches.

His back seemed to be a little more rickety than before, and his whole person became older.

The death of his own sister hit him too hard.

Soon a steward walked in, and he said respectfully.

"Your Royal Highness, please come with me."

Xiao Ti had no choice but to pick him up, Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai followed, and the group of four people was taken to the guest room to rest for the time being.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Yu Xuan woke up.

When she opened her eyes to find herself on an unfamiliar bed, she immediately sat up and looked around alertly.

Xiao Ti walked over with her clothes.

"How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

As soon as Yu Yuanyu saw him, he immediately released a lot.

"I'm fine, where is this?"

Xiao Ti: "This is the Deng family." ”

He then gave a general account of what had happened last night.
