Chapter 543 The maid who died for no reason

Concubine Zhao seemed to be scared by her cold eyes and said nothing more. The group walked to the other end of the imperial garden.

Mo Xuetong followed the ladies and princes without saying anything.

Everyone followed the maid around several rockery and came to a remote place. Only next to the lake of the rockery, there was a female corpse lying there. There was wind in that place. Originally, it felt cool, but at this time, because of this female corpse, the whole place made people feel a gust of wind, which made people feel afraid for no reason.

Several bold eunuchs went over and pulled up the female body and put it flat on the ground, but after hearing the maid who had just found the body covered her mouth and screamed, she suddenly pounced on the female corpse and shouted in a panic: "Queen, it's a flying ring."

"Fly ring?" The queen was stunned, as if she didn't remember, and frowned.

Mother Lin, who was beside her, took two steps forward and looked at the face of the female corpse, which was also trembling. She hurried back two steps back to the queen and said with a white face, "Mother, is the third-class maid of honor in Tianfeng Palace, called Feihuan. You just asked her to go to the imperial garden to serve the wine of the ladies."

The queen was stunned, as if she didn't expect to be from her own Tianfeng Palace. Her face was a little ugly. She frowned and asked, "Who was the last one to see this maid?"

Whether it is the identity of the queen or the owner of Tianfeng Palace, the queen has to ask about this.

"The queen, the maidservant, the maidservant still came out with the flying ring. Later, the maid saw a small maid wading to the flying ring in front, and then the flying ring told the maidservant that there was something to let theservant go first. The maidservant thought that the maidservant might meet someone she knew, so she didn't care about her and left by herself. Unexpectedly, the flying ring , she, she..."

The maid who jumped on the flying ring cried with tears: "Empress, you must make the decision for the flying ring. The flying ring is dedicated to you. You can't let the murderer get away."

"Go up and have a look." The queen nodded to an eunuch standing beside her. This was the master of guarding the queen of the inner palace and the eunuch of the inner palace. In charge of the torture of these inner palace, he stretched out two fingers to look around the neck of the maid of the palace. Then he stood up and shook his head to indicate that he was breathless, and then squatted next to the body and checked for a while. Then he came to reply to the queen.

"Madam, this body was strangled to death. There are pinch marks on her neck, and her fingers are thick. She looks like a man. Looking at this, she is quick and accurate. She is a practitioner. If she hadn't had more than ten years of strength, she would never have been killed like this."

The eunuch replied concisely.

"However, who wants to harm the flying ring? The flying ring is also very good to people and will never blush with others." The maid cried.

"There's something there. Look." Someone pointed to the place where the body had just been picked up and screamed.

Everyone looked back and found that there was a piece of cloth stuck in the crack of the rockery. Xing asked the eunuch and neatly took out the cloth wrapped in it. Only then did they find that it was actually a handkerchief. Because most of it was wrapped in it, it was only regarded as a piece of cloth falling from the murderer.

"This should be the veil that fell on the murderer!" Someone is asking.

"No, this veil is such a pink color, and there is embroidery on it. It should be a lady. Look at the pinch marks on her neck. It is clearly a man. How can it be the murderer?" Someone else asked puzzledly.

Someone refuted and argued on the spot, "Maybe this is the veil hidden in the murderer's arms. There must be a woman who has something to do with the murderer. This veil will appear in his arms and then be pulled down by the maid before she dies. The reason why she didn't take it away may be because of time is running out and she didn't notice it."

"Mother, this... such a thing has happened, but you must check it." When Yufei, who stood aside, heard the words, her eyes showed deep worry and covered her stomach with fear.

The queen looked at the body coldly, and the tone spit out from her thin lips was cold: "Of course, you must find out the murder in the palace."

As soon as I heard that I had to investigate, everyone wandered a little more. This is the palace. There is a murder case. Naturally, it is possible to come today. If this investigation can't be found out, is it necessary to stay here to accept the search? This is a lot of time, and it is not good. After a long time, it is easy to be blamed.

Who wants to be locked up and searched?

"Let me take a look at this veil." An old lady first stood up and stretched out her hand to ask the eunuch. She was the mother of Luo Fenghou.

Xing asked the eunuch to look at the queen. The queen nodded slightly, and the eunuch respectfully offered the veil to the old lady Luo Fenghou.

Mrs Luo Fenghou picked up the veil and looked at it in the light. For a moment, she frowned at the people left and right, with some suspicion on her face, but she was a little uncertain.

Ling Ruier, who turned to one side after a while and asked, "Princess Chu, can I borrow your veil to have a look?"

"My veil?" Ling Ruier actually panicked when she saw this handkerchief. She reached out to touch her handkerchief to compare it. Then she found that she didn't know when her handkerchief was missing. For a moment, her face was pale. She just came back soon. Originally, she wanted to see a bustle, but she didn't think that things would fall on her.

Hearing that Mrs. Luofenghou asked Ling Ruier, several sharp eyes immediately found that there were two words embroidered on the left and right corners of the handkerchief in Mrs. Luofenghou's hand, Ling on the left and Rui on the right. Together, it was clearly Ling Ruier. How could this not surprise everyone?

This handkerchief turned out to be Ling Rui'er's.

"Rier, where's your handkerchief?" The queen turned her head and flashed with a trace of anger in her eyes. She looked at Ling Ruier and asked unhappily. If something went wrong today, it was all caused by Ling Ruier, a fool. How could she not make her angry?

"Queen, just now this maid sprinkled watermelon juice on my dress, so I went to change my clothes, and then the veil disappeared." Ling Ruier said anxiously. She didn't know when her handkerchief disappeared, but now the veil on her body is true in the hands of this maid of honor.

"Yes, this maid deliberately spilled watermelon juice on the third sister. It turned out that she wanted to steal the veil on the third sister's body. I don't know who wanted her to harm the third sister." Ling Yu, who followed her, had an idea and hurriedly defended her. If people really found that it was Ling Ruier who killed the maid of honor because of such a small thing, Ling's daughter would not have to marry again. Such a vicious family, who dared to marry their girl.

For the sake of her reputation, Ling Yu can't let Ling Ruier have an accident.

This reminded everyone that there was indeed such a thing. Maybe this maid really deliberately framed Ling Ruier. Otherwise, she stood well just now. Why did she bump into Ling Ruier and wet her dress and had to change her clothes. Between this time, it was enough Let someone kill this maid of honor. If you really take down Ling Ruier's veil first, someone may have framed Ling Ruier.

Or the king of Chu who framed her.

Concubine Zhao came over and asked suspiciously, "What fragrance does Princess Chu use in her handkerchief?"

Indeed, the handkerchief is emitting a faint fragrance. Although it is soaked in water, it is still fragrant, which can be seen as the best fragrance.

This reminded Ling Ruier. She hurriedly said, "This kind of fragrance I use is not an ordinary fragrance. It is rewarded by the Empress Dowager. It is said that it is a tribute. I only have the whole Qin, and there can be no one else."

Ling Ruier just wants to prove that she is innocent this time, and she can't care about anything else.

"What Princess Chu said can be paid tribute to the Empress Dowager?" Xing Wen's eyes lit up and he asked, "If it's really like this, the fragrance will last for a long time. It is said that it will last for ten days, right?"

A trace of strangeness flashed in Ling Rui'er's eyes, and then nodded viperously and said, "Yes, yes."

"Princess Chu, do you think this fragrance will remain fragrant when it comes into contact with other clothes?" The eunuch asked again.

"This fragrance is very strong. As long as you touch it with your hand, it will not dissipate for a while." Ling Ruier replied affirmatively.

"That's very good." Xingwen squatted down in front of the body again, turned over the skirt of the maid's flying ring, smelled it with her nose, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Queen, this maid of honor once hid a veil in her arms. It seems that she did steal the veil of Princess Chu and hid it, but then she was assassinated, and the veil was also deliberately dropped here. ."

"B bitch, you really want to harm me." Ling Ruier breathed a sigh of relief and cursed fiercely at the maid of honor.

"Since that person turned over the veil, should there be fragrance on his body?" The queen asked coldly.

The eunuch raised his lips and smiled and nodded: "What the Empress said is very true. Since the veil was deliberately dropped there, the man naturally moved it. Please take the execution dog."

"Go, pass on the decree of this palace and ask the bodyguard to bring the execution dog here." The queen nodded, and her eyes slid across Mo Xuetong's face with a faint sneer. The execution dog is specially used by the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case, and its nose is a hundred times more sensitive than the ordinary dog's nose. No matter who plans to do anything today, it can't be good.

Although Concubine Zhao stood aside, although she lowered her eyes, she flashed a deep pride in the corners of her eyes, and her face unconsciously showed a little grim smile. Although things were a little different from her presets, it was still in her original direction.

In a short time, a small execution dog came to the crowd. Several large internal guards stood on both sides and arranged for everyone to stand in two rows. Xing asked the eunuch to take the veil to the dog's nose and sniff, then took away the veil and let her sniff it one by one. Then the execution dog rushed up. If it hadn't been for the eunuch's reaction quickly If you catch it, Ling Ruier will be knocked down.

Even so, she was so scared that she almost couldn't even speak.

She was originally the master of the handkerchief. She took the veil for a period of time. Of course, the fragrance on her body was very strong. The eunuch pulled the execution dog back and continued to walk back. Behind Ling Ruier was Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong stood quietly holding Mo Ye's hand. The execution dog went up and turned around twice and walked down again. .

It appears that this has nothing to do with Mo Xuetong.

The queen standing on the main position frowned slightly and looked at Mo Xuetong suspiciously.

The execution dog passed under everyone's feet and sniffed from time to time. Everyone was nervous and scared, especially most of the young ladies here. They trembled with fear. Suddenly, the execution dog suddenly screamed and rushed to a maid standing behind a young lady, and a big mouth full of sharp teeth died. He bit a maid's calf and dragged the maid out to death.

The two sides had been ready to wait for Wei Yi to come out, rushed up like a wolf and a tiger, captured the man, and even searched out all the items in his pocket and put them in front of everyone.
