Chapter 605: Capital Crime

Liu Yunxiang was not in a hurry and went back to her room to take a nap. When Zijin woke her up and said that the queen was here, she got up and went over.

It was about to dawn, and the morning mist shrouded the garden, making it cold and cold.

Jingshui Pavilion was already surrounded by officials from Jingzhao Palace. The housekeeper was waiting outside anxiously. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly ran forward: "Princess, the officials from Jingzhao Palace were brought by the Queen. We can't stop them."

Liu Yunxiang sneered: "If there is a murder case, it is appropriate to use the government."

The queen made up her mind and planned to send her to prison.

"His Royal Highness is not at home, should you go into the palace to find him?"

"No need."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. If he was present and his performance was not up to par, the queen would probably blame him for the whole trouble.

After entering the courtyard, the queen stood in front of the main door with a solemn expression. When she saw her coming in, her eyes focused on her, becoming sharper and sharper, and she also seemed to be vaguely proud.

She felt that she had won this round.

When Liu Yunxiang went in, he discovered that the queen not only brought official officials from the Jingzhao Mansion, but also several ladies from aristocratic families, including Jiang Yunying.

Yuan Qingyue comes from one of the eight aristocratic families, and the eight aristocratic families have always been in the same spirit. The queen brought these ladies from the aristocratic families here to let them make the decision for Yuan Qingyue and seek justice for her. As expected, as soon as she came in,

These people all looked at her with hatred in their eyes.

Liu Yunxiang was polite and nodded to them one by one. Then he walked up to the queen and saluted her.

The queen snorted coldly, "The concubine in your palace was poisoned, and we have come all the way here, why did you come just now?"

Liu Yunxiang yawned and said, "It's not yet dawn, I just woke up."

"This is the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion. You are the Princess of Zhenbei, in charge of the affairs of state. Now that such a big thing has happened in the mansion, do you still want to sleep?"

"Yes, something happened in my house, but I can still sleep peacefully, but I don't want you all to be in the mood to sleep."

"What are you talking about, princess? How can we, the aunts and uncles, sleep after learning that Qing Yue was poisoned? There is no one in the Chang Bo Mansion, but with several of our aristocratic families here, we must not give anything to Qing Yue."

Demand justice!”

The person who said this was Lady Feng, Mrs. Zhongyongbo. She was the sister-in-law of the second lady of the Marquis of Jing'an. After the second lady went crazy, Mrs. Feng went to the Marquis's mansion and scolded her under the instigation of the old lady.

After the second lady passed away, they came to the Marquis Mansion to make trouble and wanted to tie her up for the funeral of the second lady. She did not resist and stretched out her hands to let them tie her up.

"On this journey, I will publicize the deeds of the Second Madam during her lifetime. Who will be embarrassed by that?"

In order to save the second master, the old lady and the second lady forced her to commit herself to Yan Mu, and in the end she suffered the consequences and was humiliated by a beggar. They knew this to some extent. The second lady was born in Zhongyong's house. Once these scandals were publicized, their house would be in trouble.

Feeling embarrassed, he immediately started talking without daring to care about it.

Later, when Yan Mu learned about this, he found an excuse to call Uncle Zhongyong to the West Factory and had a good meeting with the world. After hearing this, Uncle Zhongyong came out of the West Factory and fell to the ground. He was ill for half a month before he recovered.

This Feng family had a grudge against her, so when he got the chance to step on her, he jumped out first.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and glanced at Feng, and then looked at the people behind her. There was Mrs. Zhen Guo Gong. This woman had a serious face, which made it difficult to guess what she was thinking. Next to her stood Mrs. Yang Guo Gong.

She was in poor health, and the three ladies next to her were supporting her. The third lady, Mrs. Cheng, glanced at her, and then lowered her eyes, obviously not wanting to stand out. There were several other ladies, most of whom were of the younger generation. This shows that the Eighth Family

It has withered away and is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Feng and sighed: "Yes, this Yuan is still pregnant with a child, who would be so cruel to poison her!"

Seeing the heartbroken look on Liu Yunxiang's face, the Queen snorted coldly: "Previously, I sent Concubine Yuan back to the palace, and the princess was in every kind of embarrassment. Now that she has lost her child, I wonder if the palace will be as happy as she wants?"

"Empress, I was wronged, and I'm very sad too!" Liu Yunxiang said and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.

Isn't it just about acting? As long as she is not disgusting, others will be disgusted.

Sure enough, when the queen saw her like this, her face turned green.

"Princess, Concubine Yuan is pregnant with the emperor's heir. The person who poisoned the concubine may be jealous of Concubine Yuan, but poisoning the emperor's heir is a capital crime." Jiang Yunying looked at Liu Yunxiang, who was standing next to the queen on the steps.

Above, he looked down at Liu Yunxiang, as if he were a noble and powerful person.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "It is indeed a capital crime to murder the emperor's heir."

Jiang Yunying let out a long sigh, "I wonder who is so confused."

"The person who poisoned him must be someone from the palace. He must have been instructed by someone." Mrs. Feng glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and the words were clearly referring to her.

Liu Yunxiang just pretended that he didn't understand, "The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture has come with official officials, so let's check carefully."

The queen took a deep breath and said: "I have already informed the Holy Emperor that the murderer must be found and we will not tolerate it."

At this time, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Li Zhong came in in a hurry. Behind him were two officials escorting a chubby short man with a panicked look on his face.

"Your Majesty, this man is the cook in the palace's kitchen. When I interrogated him, he spoke incoherently. When I questioned him carefully, he panicked and admitted that he had poisoned Concubine Yuan's food."

Two officers escorted the cook over and asked him to kneel on the ground.

The queen glanced sideways at Jiang Yunying, and when she saw her nodding, she understood and turned to look at the cook.

"Tell me why you poisoned Concubine Yuan!"

The cook was trembling, and it seemed that he was not the kind of bold person.

"The little ones...the little ones are obsessed with things...no one is instructing..."

The queen narrowed her eyes, "How long have you been in the palace?"

"I just came here...the day before yesterday."

"Have you met Yuan Concubine?"

"No, no."

"You have never even met Concubine Yuan, let alone have any grudge. You have no reason to harm her. You would only poison her unless someone forced you or tempted you."

"The little one...the younger one is older than the younger one...I dare not say it!" The cook fell to the ground, and a grown man began to cry.

Several ladies nearby looked at it and talked in low voices.

"It seems that someone is using his family to force him."

"Whoever has this ability, you don't have to think twice to know who it is."

"She is really cruel and ruthless."

"How else could I transform from a widow of a marquis into a princess?"

Liu Yunxiang listened to these discussions, but she did not speak. Occasionally she raised her head, and by chance she saw the third lady of Duke Yang's mansion looking at her, with a clear look of regret in her eyes.

She also thought it was her.
