Chapter 17: The Murderer Is Not Me

Mu Youning followed the voice and looked over, but he didn't find the person who made the sound.

This person wants to talk about it, and the unfinished words are more profound, giving people enough room for reverie.

Apparently this man's purpose has been achieved.

After the man's words had ended, someone continued:

"Yes, Bai Gongzi is a teacher of Juxian Valley, and Juxian Valley is known as a double absolute of medicine and poison, and can live the flesh and bones of the dead, it is the current Hua Tuo, even if I and other boudoir women have heard of the name of Juxian Valley, it can be seen that its reputation in the field of medicine. Although Miss Mu is extremely brave in killing the enemy on the battlefield, we have never heard that Miss Mu understands this Huangqi technique. ”

"Unless Miss Mu already knew the cause of Miss Wu's death, she would be so sure. ”

"If that's the case, why did my sister poison Miss Wu again and again in one fell swoop, and personally expose the real cause of Miss Wu's death?" Mu Youhan frowned, stood up, and said in a clear manner.

Mu Youning raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she never thought that this fourth sister would have such courage and thinking, and she was worthy of being a child of her Mu family.

"The poisoning is naturally to cover up the real cause of death, as for revealing that Miss Wu did not die of poisoning, isn't it because Xiaohe is unwilling to go along with her anymore and tell the truth, so that Miss Mu was forced to tell the real cause of death, so as to clear her suspicion?" Xie Wanxi's eyes flashed coldly, and her voice was cold.

Xie Wanxi looked at Mu Youning coldly, the killing intent in her eyes was full of it, Mu Youning made her make a big fool of herself in public, and she would definitely not let her go.

"What you said is all inference, what evidence is there now to prove that my sister is the murderer. ”

"Heh, Xiaohe is a human witness, the Sun Moon Pot is a physical evidence, and the human evidence is there, Miss Mu Si also said that there is no evidence, is it too partial to Miss Mu. ”

"Based on Xiaohe's words alone, I can conclude that what she said is true, is it too decisive? Except for Xiaohe, has anyone else seen my sister hand over the Sun and Moon Pot to her? So according to Miss Xie's words, can I also say that Xiaohe deliberately blamed her sister?" Mu Youhan's expression did not move, and he was not flustered.

The corners of Xie Wanxi's mouth hooked up a sneer, this Mu family is really difficult: "Miss Mu Si, don't forget, there is only one suspect who killed Miss Wu now. According to the law of this dynasty, the suspicion of guilt should be judged by Miss Mu herself, not by others such as us to explore the truth. ”

Mu Youhan was still about to speak, but he might as well hear the eunuch's shrill voice at this time.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived!"

From a distance, I saw a group of people coming over, led by two people dressed in bright yellow palace clothes, obviously the emperor and empress of the Qilin Kingdom.

Concubine Dong was stunned, her face sank, and she hurriedly took Qi Siyuan to meet her.

She led the crowd to salute and said: "The concubines (courtiers) greet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

"Say hello to the queen, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

The emperor turned the Buddha beads in his hand, raised his hand, and said as he walked: "Get up." ”

"Why is Your Majesty here? Concubine Dong sat on the emperor's lower head, the newly added seat, the corners of her mouth hooked up a just right smile, and asked softly.

"Concubine Dong is so lively here, both the palace and His Majesty heard it in the Qianqing Palace. The palace was really curious, so he asked His Majesty to accompany the palace. Before the emperor could speak, the queen smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that something seems to have happened to you, sister." ”

The corners of Concubine Dong's mouth twitched, and she hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, Miss Wu was killed at the concubine's dinner, it was the concubine's negligence in supervision, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

The queen's eyes flashed, and she took a sip of the teacup.

The play has begun, and she just looks good.

The emperor was silent for a long time, but the Buddha bead in his hand couldn't help but turn faster, and suddenly he smashed the Buddha bead on the table next to him.

No one dared to speak in the Imperial Garden for a while, and even the sound of breathing couldn't help but be much lighter.

The emperor spoke: "You are indeed guilty, and the young people who despise the emperor's grace are even more unforgivable, and such a vicious thing has happened in the palace and land, which is to ignore the laws of the unicorn and ignore my face." ”

Saying that, he paused and looked at Concubine Dong who was kneeling: "Have you found the murderer?"

Concubine Dong's face was ugly for a moment, and she seemed to be a little hesitant and entangled.

"Concubine Dong, if you have something to say, just say it, you should know that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Seeing this, the queen looked at Mu Youning quietly.

She already knew the situation, and she knew that Concubine Dong liked Mu Youning to be the princess of Qi, if the marriage between the Qi Mansion and the General's Mansion, coupled with the Shangshu Mansion behind Concubine Dong, it was very likely to threaten the position of the East Palace, and she couldn't let Concubine Dong get her wish.

Concubine Dong's face changed several times, and then she said: "Back to Your Majesty, the eldest lady of the Mu family is identified as the murderer." Speaking of this, she hurriedly added: "But there is no definite evidence." ”

"Miss Mu?" the emperor was noncommittal, and just asked, "But Mu Youning, the daughter of General Mu Feng?"

"Your Majesty, exactly. The queen said softly, knowing his intentions, and said loudly, "Where is Mu Youning, come forward." ”

When Mu Youning heard this, he took a few steps forward and saluted: "The courtier Mu Youning has seen Your Majesty and Niangniang. ”

"Raise your head and show me. ”

Mu Youning raised his head slightly.

The emperor nodded: "The last time I saw you, you were still a little girl, but your courage is not small, but now this etiquette is the rules, and you are slim and slim." What's going on, tell me about it. ”

Mu Youning then stood up and said without humility or arrogance: "Miss Wu died suddenly, bleeding from the seven orifices, and the imperial doctor found that it was caused by the poison of Heding Hong. And the poison was in Miss Wu's wine glass."

Xiaohe, the maid who poured wine for Miss Wu, privately used the Sun and Moon Pot to replace the jasper glass pot in the palace, and poured the poisonous wine from the Yin Channel of the Sun and Moon Pot into Miss Wu's wine glass. ”

Bai Gongzi broke her with the technique of the Sun and Moon Pot, and she jumped over the wall in a hurry, saying that the Sun and Moon Pot was given by the courtiers. ”

Later, the courtier's daughter looked at Miss Wu's body and found that she was not poisoned to death, but was injected with poison after death, and the real cause of death is not known for the time being. This was confirmed by Bai Gongzi and the Imperial Doctor. ”

"That's what happened, the courtiers have never seen the maidservant Xiaohe, and the poison is not the courtier's order. As for the murderer who really caused Miss Wu's death......" Mu Youning paused before continuing: "Now that I don't even know the cause of death, how can I convict a courtier as a murderer based on one-sided words? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of surprise, although they had heard that Miss Mu was bold and fearless, they never thought that they would dare to touch the beard of the Son of Heaven.

Just when everyone was holding their breath and nervous, the emperor laughed out loud, "Hahaha." I saw that you are now well-behaved, and I thought that your temperament had been accepted a little, but I never thought that it was just more internalized. ”

"Since you think I'm wise and powerful, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. Within seven days, find the real murderer of Miss Wu, if you can't do it, you are the murderer. Mu Youning, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
