Chapter 46 Clearing
Strangled by a kite string?
This kind of death sounded extremely cruel, and then there was psychological preparation, Wang Guiren was still surprised and almost slipped off the chair.
"Wuyue, how can such a dirty thing be said in front of all the nobles?" The Queen Mother said calmly.
It's all said and done, and I can't say it when I think about it at this time?
An Chengyue reluctantly went to see Fu Yao.
I thought that the queen would be frightened, like Wang Guiren, who was scared in front of the palace, but I didn't expect her to be quite cold and sit in her position.
No wonder the Queen Mother always suspected that Fu Yao was pretending.
She was wearing a graceful and luxurious dress today, originally to hide the wooden knife, so that she wore heavy and overlapping clothes, which made her arrogant a little more.
When she didn't speak, although her face was a little immature, she still had a lot of dignified air, even the Queen Mother had to be stunned when she saw it.
With such a dignified appearance, who can see that he is a fool?
And at this moment, what is Fu Yao thinking?
"Kite, string?" Fu Yao asked in a low voice.
No one explained for her, but Concubine Jing spoke:
"The queen doesn't know yet, although the string of the kite is thin, it can also kill, and it is much more fierce than those daggers or something. I heard that there are still many traces of struggle on the dead palace maid, and she must have suffered a lot before she died. β
Concubine Jing stared at Fu Yao's face deadly, but her words were a little playful, as if she wanted to see how frightened this foolish queen was.
Fu Yao was not frightened, but opened his hand, looked at it for a moment, and then went to see the Queen Mother.
"Hands, traces." Fu Yao said to the Queen Mother.
What does this mean?
The Queen Mother didn't understand, but saw An Chengyue's eyes light up.
"Since the Queen Mother has killed people with kite strings, and there are many traces on the dead palace maids, it means that there should be many traces in the palms of the murderers. On weekdays, only one hand of a kite will have a trace of being cut by a string, but if someone uses a kite string to commit murder......"
An Chengyue didn't make the rest of the words clear, but everyone present knew that since there were so many traces on the body of the victim, the murderer must have a lot of traces of being strangled by the kite string in his heart.
An Guiren, who looks silent on weekdays, still has such ability?
Could it be that this An noble also wants to compete for favor?
Concubine Jing's heart was full of thoughts, and she said coldly:
"An Guiren is still too naΓ―ve, I don't know who brought out the atmosphere these days, the whole palace is flying kites, do you mean that anyone who has flown a kite and has traces of being cut by a thread in the palm of his hand is likely to kill this palace maid?"
Wang Guiren was also anxious when she heard this, she was personally involved in the kite tie thing, and there were many wounds on her hands.
The Queen Mother can scold Fu Yao for a strange reason, and she won't suspect her, right?
Wang Guiren hurriedly pulled An Chengyue and defended his origin: "Yes, Sister An, I also flew a kite, and there are traces of strangulation in my palms, how can I judge this?" β
An Chengyue grabbed Wang Guiren's hand and showed it to everyone, while saying: "The traces made by flying kites in the past are different from the traces that were eaten when killing people with kite strings. β
"Everyone sees that the traces in the palm of Wang Guiren's hand are very shallow, and the rest of the traces are all made of bamboo tied with kites, and the difference is obvious. And there is only one trace of this, which at most hurts the surface and does not penetrate deeply. β
This explanation caused many people to spread out their palms to see the traces inside.
There are also many people present who want to seduce the emperor, and yesterday deliberately flew kites on the emperor's only way, but at this moment they looked at their palms, and there was indeed a trace to follow.
"Alas, there is indeed a mark in the palm of my hand."
"You have it too, alas, but we are all a trace, An Guiren said, this is normal."
The palace maids in the Empress Dowager's palace were all talking, and the originally angry Empress Dowager had no expression on her face at the moment, making it impossible to tell whether she was angry, happy, or disgusted.
An Chengyue didn't care what the Queen Mother was thinking.
She continued: "As for the person who killed the palace maid, I am afraid that there is more than one mark in the palm of the hand, and it is more likely that the kite string will be strangled into it and the wound will be strangled. It's better to investigate thoroughly, if there is anyone around the palace maid who has injured his palm today. β
An Chengyue said coldly, after clearing the suspicion, she went to see Fu Yao again.
Sure enough, Fu Jiao had a bit of admiration in his eyes.
That's right, that's what she meant, I didn't expect Sister An to be so powerful, she actually said all this in a few words, she was too stupid, if only she could say it clearly!
"Go check on everyone around the palace maid."
After a while, a crying little palace maid was pressed in, and as soon as she saw the queen mother, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.
"How did you kill the palace maid next to you!" The grandmother who pressed the person over said coldly.
The palace maid, who was already crying, cried even louder, almost shouting: "The slave knows that she is wrong, I made the kite, she took the slave's kite out, and said that she saw the queen, and she would go to the queen's side on an errand in a few days, this should have been a good errand for the slave!" That's why I killed people at the thought of it......"
The palace maid couldn't cry, An Chengyue walked over with a cold face and broke her hand away.
Sure enough, there were several dense ditches in the palm of his hand, and there were already some signs of healing on the side of the wound.
"Sure enough, it's you." An Chengyue shook her head, "Queen Mother, now it seems that this little palace maid did it, but I don't know who had the intention to slander the queen, and deliberately spread it, saying that the queen mother did it." also asked the queen mother to report this matter to the palace, so as not to damage the reputation of the queen. β
The queen mother saw the dense wounds in the hands of the palace maid, and the Buddha beads in her hand couldn't help but speed up a little, and her mouth seemed to be opening and closing, reciting Amitabha.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and looked like she was going to drive people away: "That's it, since this matter has nothing to do with the queen, then you guys will go back." This matter is too appalling to be known to the people in the palace. β
Fu Yao, who was called over for no reason, felt a little sad in his heart.
When she was suspected of being a murderer, the Queen Mother reprimanded her vividly. Now that the truth is revealed, the Queen Mother is not even willing to tell the truth.
Fu Yao immediately stepped forward and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, looked up at the Queen Mother, and his eyes were a little firm: "Say, make it clear, no." β
An Chengyue immediately understood what Fu Yao meant, knelt down and said: "No, now the whole palace is talking about it, it was the queen who killed people, but the queen clearly didn't do such a thing!" β
Seeing that the queen and An Guiren were kneeling, they were already playing soy sauce, and Wang Guiren also quickly knelt down.
There are a total of four concubines in the palace, and now all three of them are kneeling down and begging the Queen Mother to tell the matter.
If they don't say it, these three people are afraid that they will publicize this matter by themselves, and the prestige of the queen mother will drop a few points at that time.
