"Why?" Concubine Bai showed a hint of curiosity on her face.
"Actually, just think about it..." Zu An originally wanted to say me, but immediately realized that his identity would be exposed, so he changed his mind, "Think about the actions of the embroidered messenger after the incident, and you can deduce something. If Xin Rui died,
They must mainly check her interactions in the palace, who she met in front of her, and who has the motive and opportunity to kill her, so even the White Concubine may be suspected."
Concubine Bai smiled lightly: "Yes, Xinrui is my personal palace maid. If she dies, I will become the first suspect. But even if she leaves the palace, I will still be a major suspect. After all, our relationship is too close.
"
Zu An took over and said: "The murderer behind the scenes is very smart. She took advantage of the weaknesses of human nature and listed herself as the most suspect from the beginning. However, everyone subconsciously thought that this was too simple. They probably fell into someone else's trap. There are
With this mentality in mind, and some other clues that soon appeared, everyone naturally had a reaction that was indeed the case, and then went to investigate other suspects. Little did they know that they were led by the murderer behind the scenes from beginning to end. "
Concubine Bai frowned: "Why do you think you are saying that I am the murderer behind the scenes?"
Zu An did not answer, but continued: "What I just mentioned is that Xinrui is dead, but the reality is that Xinrui is not dead and has left the palace, so the messenger of embroidered clothes must first go to the palace gate to check the entrance and exit situation.
If relevant records cannot be found, one will naturally suspect Sima Ouwu of the Xuanwu Sect."
"It just happened that when the Embroidered Clothes Messenger wanted to investigate Ou Wu, he actually escaped with his family. The man guarding the city gate was the son of the Murong family. Both Ou Wu and Murong Luo were known to be part of King Qi's party. King Qi
If you have the motive and the strength to deal with the Crown Princess, everyone will think that the mastermind behind it is King Qi, even other ministers from King Qi's lineage may think so."
"In this case, the emperor will definitely attack King Qi, and King Qi will feel that this is a crime he wants to inflict, and that it is framed by the emperor, so he will naturally fight back. When the time comes, the two major power groups will completely break the balance and tacit understanding formed over the years.
The whole country will be in chaos, and it will be easier for the person secretly to fish in troubled waters."
At this time, the emperor's grandson suddenly woke up and burst into tears. Concubine Bai hurriedly comforted him and said to Zu An: "I don't know what you mean when you tell me this. Do you think I am the mastermind behind the scenes? I am the prince.
Concubine, the emperor’s grandson’s mother, what good will it do me if the country is in chaos?”
At this time, the maid had already made the flower tea and came over. In addition, the nuns in the distance heard the cry of the emperor's grandson and hurried over.
The two of them stopped talking in a tacit understanding, and Zu Jing quietly sipped the flower tea. The scent of the scent was really refreshing.
Concubine Bai asked the maids to take the emperor's grandson down. When only the two of them were left, she said coldly: "Why, aren't you afraid that the tea is poisonous today?"
Zu An smiled slightly: "I think the White Concubine is not that despicable person. Besides, there is no Crown Princess here this time, so she knocked me out. Could it be that the Concubine went to the battle in person to frame me?"
Concubine Bai's breathing suddenly became rapid: "Do you know that just by your words, I can have people beat you to death with sticks?"
Zu An put down the teacup: "Your Majesty is a smart person and would not do such an unwise thing."
"Do you really think you have a handle on me?" Concubine Bai sat down on the swing again, "I want to hear what you have to say, why did I become the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Let's go back to the question you just raised. This case has made King Qi the murderer. Although King Qi has more gang members, the emperor is the strongest person in the world after all. If you want to deal with King Qi, you still have a greater chance of winning. In that case, the prince will never have anyone to fight with him.
Fight for the throne; at the same time, the Crown Princess is innocent, so you can seize the opportunity to ascend to the throne. You are the biological mother of the Crown Prince, and no other concubine can compare to you."
He sighed and said: "Actually, there is a principle for solving crimes. Whoever has the most motive and who is the biggest beneficiary after the crime is often the murderer. Unfortunately, we have all been misled by your suspicions, and instead ignored you.
The biggest beneficiary.”
Concubine Bai said calmly: "Master Zu, do you know what it is to slander concubines out of thin air? Your arguments are simply untenable. I only ask you one question. If I am really the mastermind behind the scenes, why did I save you and let you
Wouldn't it be more effective to achieve the goal if he and the Crown Princess were found naked?"
Zu An exclaimed with admiration: "This is the brilliance of the empress. If the Crown Princess was discovered like that in the first place, the Crown Princess would be doomed, but as the biggest beneficiary, you would be too abrupt, and everyone would doubt you. On the contrary
You let her live, so that the princess will attract everyone's attention, and you can hide behind the scenes with peace of mind."
"Of course there is another reason. Compared to King Qi, the prince's party is already weak. If something happens to the Crown Princess, the leader here at the beginning, the prince's party will probably not be able to defeat the King of Qi's party. In that case, you will become
I’m making wedding clothes for King Qi.”
Concubine Bai snorted: "Then now, isn't it like making a wedding dress for the Crown Princess? After helping her get rid of King Qi, she will be the queen of the palace in the future. Why should I take such a big risk?"
Zu An stared at her always gentle and timid eyes and sighed: "That's why I said you are smart. It is because of the things you said that no one doubted you, but now I have roughly guessed your plan.
, you probably have evidence in your hands that the Crown Princess has "lost her virginity", and you are still using her power to deal with King Qi. When the situation is decided, you can always find someone to reveal the evidence. In this way, she, the Crown Prince, will
Naturally, the concubine has no shame in staying any longer, and her life may not even be saved."
"The Crown Princess is smart all her life, but she is actually a pawn in your hands from beginning to end. She is the one who makes your wedding dress."
Zu An couldn't help but admire Bi Linglong's keenness. At the beginning, the other party asked him to find an opportunity to kill Concubine Bai secretly. He also felt that she was too cruel, and she actually executed a weak and kind-hearted woman for an unfounded reason.
Only now do I realize that she has great wisdom. She may not know that the mastermind behind the scenes is Concubine Bai, but her political acumen makes her immediately realize that the other party's existence will sooner or later be a huge threat to herself, so she does not hesitate to get rid of her.
Alas, on the surface these two women look like sisters who love each other deeply, but in the end they stab each other in the back more severely than the other.
Is it true that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deceiving others?
The faces of his confidante kept reappearing in his mind, and he fell into deep doubt for a moment.
"Huh, that's because the prince is too weak to suppress the women in the harem. It must be different here." Zu An comforted himself in the end.
At this time, Concubine Bai clapped her hands gently: "Very good reasoning, but unfortunately these are just your wishful guesses without any evidence."
"Actually, it's not difficult to get evidence. Just find Ou Wu." Zu An said.
"Then let's wait until you find him." Concubine Bai chuckled, and her face that was originally as pure and weak as a little white flower seemed to have a bit of beauty and danger.
Zu An sighed: "Listening to the tone of the empress, it seems that Ou Wu is in danger. In fact, I have always had this suspicion. Ou Wu did not escape on his own initiative, but was 'escaped', and your people killed him."
, and at the same time created the illusion that he was absconding in fear of crime, and used it to frame the King of Qi."
"I'm afraid your words are a bit ridiculous if they fall into the ears of other people." Bai Fei pointed at the surrounding environment with a slender finger, "As everyone knows, I don't have any power or background. I live alone in the palace all the year round.
If you take one step outside the palace gate, how can you kill a Sima who is a palace gatekeeper and take his family away with you?"
"Although you are weak, you have allies," Zu An laughed, "like King Wu?"
