Chapter 287: This Is the Murderer?
Tang Yingying knows something inside, but she won't say, "Tell me what you think."
King Hua lowered his voice again: "To sow discord between you and the regent, cause a conflict between the regent and Your Majesty, and make me dissatisfied with Your Majesty, so that you can kill multiple birds with one stone."
"It's just that what I don't understand is, who has such great ability and ability to do so much quietly?"
Tang Yingying was also thinking about these questions, "Who does King Hua think has such great ability?"
King Hua coughed lightly: "Everyone will think that it is the regent, isn't this just what the other party wants? I think it's the people around Your Majesty. If it weren't for the people around Your Majesty, Your Majesty wouldn't believe what the other party said."
Tang Yingying looked at him inexplicably.
Seeing that King Hua was furious, "Miss Tang, can you not look at me with such eyes? I swear that I've never done anything I shouldn't have done."
When Tang Yingying was about to say something, she unexpectedly heard Princess Lanyue's smiling voice.
"Huh? Miss Tang, King Hua, why are the two of you standing outside the hall?"
Tang Yingying looked back and saw Princess Lanyue and Concubine Li, who were dressed up brightly, coming over one after another, and said, "I've seen Princess Lanyue, Concubine Li."
When did Princess Lanyue return to the palace? Also, looking at Concubine Li's glamorous appearance, it seems that she is very favored by His Majesty.
Princess Lanyue covered her lips and chuckled, "Miss Tang, don't be polite. Soon, we'll be a family, and I'll call you sister-in-law when the time comes."
Tang Yingying secretly rolled her eyes, she finished saluting, and Princess Lanyue said this, it was really disgusting.
"Rites must not be abolished."
Princess Lanyue said angrily, "Miss Tang is really too outward. By the way, how could you two stand here alone? Didn't see the regent?"
Her intimate appearance made Tang Yingying feel a chill. I think she and Princess Lanyue have a lot of contradictions, but this woman is like no one else, and she behaves so intimately.
She had to be careful.
"Your Majesty and the Prince Regent are talking about business, and King Hua and I are waiting outside the palace. However, I have to correct Princess Lanyue a little, King Hua and I are not standing here alone, there are so many palace people and forbidden troops around."
Princess Lanyue's eyes quietly crossed a trace of cruelty, and she smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. Since the father and the regent are talking, then our mother and daughter will wait here."
"I don't know, Miss Tang and the Prince Regent's wedding can be completed? I've got a congratulatory gift ready."
Tang Yingying's expression was gloomy: "There are still many that are not ready. Princess Lanyue has this heart, and I am very grateful."
Princess Lanyue waved the embroidered handkerchief in the air: "Miss Tang and I are too ...... to see each other."
"It's good to see outside." Tang Yingying interrupted her.
Princess Lanyue's smile froze, and she turned to talk about other things. Damn Tang Yingying, dare to disrespect her so much in public, and dare to disrespect her so much, she will let this *** understand the consequences.
Tang Yingying was reluctant to pay more attention to her, and occasionally answered a sentence or two very perfunctorily, but most of the time she didn't hear it.
At this time, Dezong's roar suddenly came.
"If I say I don't agree, I won't agree!"
"Father, what's wrong?" Princess Lanyue lifted the hem of her skirt and ran into the side hall with a worried face, followed by Concubine Li.
Tang Yingying stood still and didn't move, and could probably guess what was happening in the side hall: "King Hua, what do you think?"
Hua Wang understood: "Avoid its edge. After all, that's Your Majesty."
Tang Yingying thought the same thing, she looked up at the blue sky, "The regent is not very willing."
King Hua also looked at the sky: "The regent finally pursued Miss Tang, and when he was about to marry you, something went wrong, where would he be willing."
"Miss Tang should persuade the regent well, the more times like this, the more you can't go against Your Majesty."
Tang Yingying snorted.
Hearing Mo Chen's footsteps, she looked sideways, and sure enough, she saw the man's ugly face
"Why bother?"
Mo Chen took her hand, "It's necessary. We've come this far, and I'm not going to allow anyone to get involved."
King Hua: "...... Regent, conscience of heaven and earth, I definitely didn't want to intervene. Before entering the palace, I really didn't know that His Majesty would marry me and Miss Tang."
"If I knew, I wouldn't have been able to feign my illness."
Mo Chen squinted at him, "It's good that King Hua has self-knowledge."
King Hua rubbed his bitter gourd-like face and sighed, "Tell me, what is this called? Originally, I was going to wait for Bei Bei to finish her confinement and continue to go out with her family."
"Now that something like this has happened, I don't want to leave the Western Capital anytime soon."
At least until the matter of marriage is settled, he cannot leave the Western Capital.
Mo Chen suddenly said, "I see that King Hua has been unwell recently."
King Hua nodded silently, saying that he was unwell, and he should be unwell, it was better than dealing with these messy things.
"Hua Wang can't be unwell all the time." Tang Yingying was even more worried about another point: "Looking at Your Majesty like this, even if King Hua is about to die of illness, Your Majesty will force me to marry him."
Mo Chen had a calm face: "I will take care of this matter, King Hua only needs to be uncomfortable in his palace."
King Hua repeatedly said that there was no problem, and he would never leave the palace at all, unless the sky fell.
"Two, shall I go first?"
Mo Chen waved his hand.
Hua Wang walked away, as if there was a wolf chasing behind him, and Tang Yingying was amused.
"What's going on with Your Majesty?" She asked.
Mo Chen led her in the direction of the Punishment Division, and whispered, "If you have to stay away from you, it looks like someone is controlling you. On the contrary, he treated Concubine Li's mother and daughter very well, and did not say a word to reprimand the mother and daughter for breaking into the side hall."
Tang Yingying's brows tightened: "When did Princess Lanyue return to the palace?" We didn't hear any of it."
Mo Chen: "I guess it's been these two days, I'll check this matter." Let's go to the Criminal Division to see the situation first, and then go to the Imperial Doctor Qian."
"Okay, listen to you."
Tang Yingying and Mo Chen came to the Shen Criminal Division.
The Sentencing Division is very clean and tidy, there are many cells in it, there are all kinds of torture instruments hanging on the walls, and the light is not too much, which makes the Sentencing Division look gloomy.
The two sat in their chairs, and after a while, the two grandmothers dragged a punished palace maid over and threw it in front of Mo Chen.
"I've met His Royal Highness the Regent, Miss Tang." The older grandmother blessed her and said, "This is the palace maid who does things in His Majesty's incense, and she has explained a lot of things."
"According to her, a palace maid died before her, and the specific cause of death is unknown, but it was not handled by His Majesty."
Tang Yingying lowered her eyes and looked at this palace maid, she was delicate, and her miserable appearance was a little pitiful: "Why do you want to do anything in Your Majesty's incense? What happened to the palace maid who died before you?"
The palace maid suffered the punishment of the prudent punishment department, and did not dare not say, "Slave maid, slave maid is threatened by others, and she has to do this."
"Some time ago...... About four months ago, a face-to-face eunuch took my brother's jade pendant to find a slave. He said that if I didn't do what he asked, he would kill the slave's family and let the slave see with her own eyes how her brother's body was destroyed. Five
At that time, the slave and maid did not believe it, and sent a message home, and confirmed that what the eunuch said was true. In order to save the lives of his family, the slave and maid quietly changed the incense used by His Majesty to smoke his clothes every day, according to the eunuch's request."
After saying this for a long time, she gasped for a moment before she continued, "As for the maid who died before the slave, it seems that she is doing the same thing as the slave. It seems that she made some mistake and was killed by the eunuch, and everyone thought it was an accident."
Tang Yingying and Mo Chen glanced at each other, if this was true, then it would be worth the time.
Tang Yingying asked people to draw the eunuch according to what the palace maid said
appearance, and let the palace people present recognize: "Does anyone know this eunuch?"
The palace people present looked at the young and delicate eunuch in the portrait and shook their heads.
"Eunuch with a good face, the slave has never seen it. However, generally a good-looking eunuch like this will be assigned to various palaces."
"I haven't seen it. It's really strange, so many of us haven't seen this eunuch, where did he come from?"
Tang Yingying glanced at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen arranged for the forbidden army to search the palace for the whereabouts of the eunuch with a portrait, and he and Tang Yingying continued to interrogate the palace maid.
After the palace maid finished explaining, a grandmother dragged it down to deal with it.
Next, Mo Chen and Tang Yingying interrogated a lot of people and got a lot of useful clues. Mo Chen found out something again, and he was basically able to determine who the murderer was.
"It's really my surprise, I thought this matter had something to do with Princess Lanyue, but who knew it had nothing to do with her." Tang Yingying pressed her temples: "However, I don't think something is right, does this matter really have nothing to do with Princess Lanyue?"
Mo Chen said coldly: "It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with it, the important thing is to cure Your Majesty."
Tang Yingying didn't know what he cared about: "...... It is not so easy to cure His Majesty. Do you think the murderer knows anything like hypnosis?"
A chill appeared between Mo Chen's eyebrows: "The murderer doesn't understand, help her understand." Wait a minute, let's interrogate her properly."
Tang Yingying hummed, thinking about this one thing after another.
About half an hour later.
A palace concubine and a eunuch were dragged in front of Tang Yingying and Mo Chen by the forbidden army, and both of them were very flustered.
"Regent, what are you doing?" Concubine Li's face turned pale: "I am Your Majesty's concubine, you have no right to do this to me."
Mo Chen raised his eyelids.
A grandmother stepped forward, picked up a soldering iron and burned it fiercely on Concubine Li's face.
"Ahh The screams were accompanied by the smell of meat.
"Concubine Li, the slave advises you to tell the truth." Mama sneered: "This is the person in the Shen Criminal Division, whether it is the palace concubine or who, you know the end, not to mention that this is the personal trial of His Royal Highness the Regent."
