Since Jiaoqi Beihai has confessed, then this matter belongs to the internal affairs of the Dayang royal family, and has nothing to do with outsiders, and the thief friend Bei Hai was soon invited back.

Emperor Jiahou couldn't see any expression on his face, but asked Jiao Qi Beihai indifferently: "Why did you want to kill your brother and sister?" "Shen Minghuang knows that things have come to this point and there is no way to return to the sky, and the most important thing now is to give an explanation to his father. No matter how he defends himself, others will not believe that he has nothing to do with this matter, and since he can't get rid of the relationship, he can only muddy the water even more.

He also pretended to be distressed and questioned Jiao Qi Beihai: "You eat vinegar, come at me, you want to beat or scold, what are you doing to kill her?" As soon as he said this, the whole house was shocked. Listening to the meaning of his words, he and Wei Yangyang have some emotional entanglements?

Shen Minghuang was very smart, and he knew that he couldn't let Jiao Qi Beihai blame the cause of the assassination on her grievances with the Wei family. In that case, the Wei family and Wei Yangyang will be completely victims, and they will only get the sympathy of their father.

But if it is involved in the entanglement between men and women, even if he can't get better, Wei Yangyang's reputation will be damaged, and he won't want to be a princess anymore. Shen Mingyuan will no longer be able to get the help of the Wei family, which is equivalent to cutting off one of his arms. Moreover, Jiao Qi Beihai was jealous and went to assassinate his rival, although this reason is not worthy of forgiveness, it is reasonable.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Jiao Qi Beihai's train of thought was led astray by him: "I said, how can Wei Yangyang be able to retreat from the attack on the mission in Gong County, it turns out that it is really because His Highness is defending her everywhere!" His Royal Highness also sent someone to kidnap her on the day of Qixi Festival, did he want to kidnap her and relive her old dreams? ”

Her words explained the origin of the five assassins at the scene of the assassination, and the masterminds of both teams of assassins surfaced. As the couple quarreled, Emperor Jiahu's face became more and more ugly. The file of the Criminal Department records that the five assassins did not go to kill, they did not kill at first, and they were forced to fight back when they finally met Wei Bingqi's cousins and three cousins who were on a killing spree. Could it be that this assassination case is really because of the jealousy of the fifth and sixth children?

Wei Yangyang's eyes were full of anger, but Shen Mingyuan's heart was more fearful. Shen Minghuang's strategy is really too vicious, if the father determined that the two brothers caused this assassination because of their jealousy, then the dead person would not be Shen Minghuang, but Wei Yangyang! In her father's heart, she will be the same kind of person as Daji and Bao Xi, who bewitches the Lord and brings disaster to the country and the people!

Shen Mingyuan, who had only listened to it at the scene, finally couldn't help but speak: "Brother Huang, if you offend you as a younger brother, I will never hold a grudge despite your lesson." But Yang Yang is pregnant, what do you do to her as a woman? No matter how much you hate her, she is my flesh and blood in her belly, and she is also your own nephew. You're also a father, are you ruthless? ”

In just a few words, Shen Mingyuan brought the case back to the contradiction between him and Shen Minghuang. Shen Minghuang's face showed envy for Shen Mingyuan: "Mingyuan, I fell in love with Yang Yang before you. If it weren't for you snatching love, she would have been Princess Fengquan a long time ago. You say, "Can I not hate in my heart?" ”

Wei Yangyang glared at Shen Minghuang angrily: "It's really a joke, the imperial brother has always thought that I have no rules, and he repeatedly made things difficult for me when I was in the Gusu military camp, causing me to have a serious illness as soon as I arrived in Gusu." And when I was in my mother's house, how could I be the princess of Fengquan? ”

Shen Minghuang pointed to the physical evidence in front of Emperor Jiahou and said, "That purple bead bracelet is the token of love I gave you when I was in Gusu. If you don't like it, what do you do with it all the time? "The bracelet was brought to the main hall along with other physical evidence, but because it was far away from His Highness, no one paid attention to it. But it was a gift from Shen Minghuang, and he recognized it at a glance.

Although he knew that Wei Yangyang's bracelet had been returned to him a long time ago, and it was placed in his bedroom, the current string must have been Wen Ru's. But what does it matter? The bracelet can't speak. What's more, in the suburbs of Gong County, Wei Yangyang once threw the bracelet back to him in front of many people, and she can't deny it now!

* During the investigation of the case, it was inconvenient to disturb Wei Yangyang because she was seriously injured and in confinement. Therefore, after surveying the scene, drawing drawings, and collecting the killer's body and physical evidence, the officials of the Criminal Department first went to the Pingyuan Earl's Mansion and the Song Mansion.

After Wei Bingkai finished describing what he saw at the scene, he suddenly thought of something and took out a string of bracelets from his arms: "By the way, I also found this at the scene." But the bracelet didn't look like an assassin's ornament, but like a girl's ornament, and I don't know whose it was, so I put it away for fear of being trampled on. In his hand was a bracelet of ten round purple pearls.

The interrogator of the Criminal Department picked it up and took a closer look, and the assassin would never come out with such a fragile object to assassinate. Moreover, the assassins were all men, and the bracelet was the size of a woman's wrist. Among the slewd attendants who were killed in the Qinghe Palace, there were six maids. But that purple pearl is a very rare jewelry, one is very expensive, let alone ten? Ordinary maids are absolutely unaffordable. The person who can afford to wear this bracelet is most likely to be Wei Yangyang or Song Wenru.

The official of the Criminal Department put away the bracelet and handed it to the colleague who went to the Song Mansion for questioning, and the bracelet was taken by the colleague to question Wen Ru. Song Wenru was frightened, and since he was sent home by Wei Bingjun that day, he began to have a high fever, and he couldn't get out of bed for more than ten days. In addition, the Criminal Department has been sending people to keep an eye on her home, and she has absolutely no possibility of colluding with others.

Although she was ill, she had a good memory, and she carefully explained why she was the carriage of Princess Qinghe, why she took that remote path, and how she met the assassin. What she described was basically the same as what Wei Bingyue said, and she added: "Princess Mengjin was also there that day, and she can testify for me." I was afraid that the princess would find the journey boring, so I went to her car to chat with her. ”

The official of the Criminal Department nodded, this went to Princess Mengjin and asked, it was easy to verify. He took out another piece of physical evidence and asked Song Wenru: "This bracelet is Miss Song's thing?" That bracelet is the one that Shen Minghuang gave to Song Wenru, in order to paralyze Shen Minghuang, she has been wearing it as before. But after she went home that day, she found that it was gone, and she didn't think much about it, and even had some secret joy in her heart: if Shen Minghuang asked next time, it could be said that she was lost when she was attacked.

Now that she saw the official take out this bracelet, she didn't know that it was picked up by Wei Binggong, and thought that the attack had been found to be related to Fengquan Palace. She didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Minghuang anymore, so she denied it on the spot: "No, it's not mine." ”

And the other officials of the Criminal Department were not idle, they found all the girls and palace maids who attended the banquet on the Mingyue Tower that day, questioned them one by one, and drew a picture of each of them said that their own position, confirming that only four people could know or see when Wei Yangyang and Song Wenru left that day.

The first is Princess Mengjin, but she has a very good relationship with Wei Yangyang. And if Shen Mingyuan becomes the prince in the future, she will have to rely on the care of her brother and sister-in-law, what will she do to offend Shen Mingyuan and his wife? What's more, she is not very old, has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has no way to contact the outside of the palace. To buy a few killers, this is obviously something she can't do.

The second is Miss Tang of the Sincerity Hou Mansion, the queen's niece, and she and Shen Mingyuan are cousins. At that time, when Wei Yangyang and Wen went downstairs, they also had a few words with her. But her family is a relative of the queen, and she is a speech official, so she has no ability to cultivate dead soldiers.

The third is Miss Zhang of the Yin family in Huadu Mansion, who gave way to Wei Yangyang at that time, and asked how many days there are before she can give birth? But after she spoke, she was called away by the little sister, and she played for another hour before returning home. At this hour, all her whereabouts could be found to be witnessed by other ladies.

The fourth was Princess Fengquan, who was sitting alone in the corner of the third floor at the time, and there was no other witness except for her maid.

Bao Shangshu of the Criminal Department personally went to Mingyue Tower and sat in the position of Princess Fengquan. Here you can see people coming down the stairs, and you can see the place where the carriage is parked outside the window. According to the current situation of the Criminal Department, all the evidence is the most unfavorable to Princess Fengquan. And everyone knows that she and the Wei family are mortal enemies. But does it mean that she is the least likely person to do when she says her seat so briskly?

However, the criminal department cannot rely on speculation to handle the case, but only on evidence. Therefore, Bao Shangshu did not think about whether it was possible for the four noble ladies to do this. He just reported the information he had gathered to the emperor truthfully.

After the full moon of the prince of Qinghe, the officials of the criminal department also asked the female officials in the queen's palace to help, and went to the Qinghe palace to ask Wei Yangyang about the situation at the scene, and Wei Yangyang said similar to Song Wenru. At the end of the questioning, the official suddenly asked her, "Princess, do you have a string of purple pearl bracelets?" ”

Wei Yangyang was very curious why this official asked this, and her bracelet had already been thrown back to Shen Minghuang. But she knew that Song Wenru had been wearing that bracelet, did Wenru get into some trouble? Although she had received the news from Wei Shuping asking her to answer truthfully, she did not know what the bracelet had to do with the case, so she replied casually: "Yes, there is a string with ten round beads on it." ”

The official took out the bracelet that Wei Bingkai picked up at the scene: "Is this it?" Wei Yangyang could only admit: "Yes." The official was very careful and asked, "Can the princess wear it and try it?" Wei said, "Okay." The maids took the bracelet from the officer's hand and put it on her, just right.

* Wei Yangyang admitted that the bracelet was his own at the time, and he just wanted to relieve Wen Ru. But she never expected that Shen Minghuang would use this bracelet to frame her in the main hall today!

Emperor Jiahou had already found out that the origin of the purple pearl was in Huaiqing Mansion, which was the hometown of the former empress. Therefore, the most likely person to get the purple pearl and make it into jewelry is indeed Shen Minghuang. And now all the evidence shows that this bracelet belongs to Wei Yangyang. What is the relationship between the two people? In addition to the struggle for power, does this involve the private relationship between men and women? He decided to ask in detail.

The emperor ordered someone to show the bracelet to Wei Yangyang and asked her, "This bracelet is yours?" Wei Yangyang could only admit stubbornly: "Yes, father." Then the emperor asked, "Where did you get it?" ”

Wei Yangyang replied truthfully: "It is a token given to his daughter-in-law by the Fifth Emperor Brother after the pirates were exterminated in Qiantang Mansion. He said that with this bracelet, he could ask him for some rewards in the future, and I thought it was fun, so I kept it forever. ”

When Jiao Qi Beihai saw the bracelet, he instantly understood Shen Minghuang's intentions. The two gave each other gifts so early, of course, it was not a token after winning the battle, but a token of love. As for why the bracelet returned to Wei Yangyang's hand, she didn't know, thinking that it was because Minghuang did not give up, and gave it to Wei Yangyang in private. No wonder every time Shen Minghuang saw Wei Yangyang, it was weird, it turned out that the two had a personal relationship.

Jiaoqi Beihai retorted to Wei Yangyang: "Father, it is not an ordinary token, but a token of love from King Fengquan to Princess Qinghe. The younger brother and sister were in the suburbs of Gongxian County at that time, and because they were angry, they threw this bracelet back to King Fengquan, and many people present saw it. ”

Jiao Qi Beihai knew that as long as there was affection between the two of them, Wei Yangyang's status in Shen Mingyuan's heart would plummet, and even the son she gave birth to would be suspected of bloodline. And for the sake of the royal face, the emperor will not execute his son for a personal affair of his children, it will only be you, Wei Yangyang.
