Hearing this, Bei Gonglie's eyes widened in shock and said: "What? Huanli is dead?"
Xiang Yini suddenly felt chills running down her spine. Logically speaking, even if Zhong Gong Huanli's body was found, there would be no need to call the couple. Could it be that... Beigong Tengxiao knew something?
Beigong Tengxiao nodded and said: "Princess Huanli's body was found abandoned on a hill eight miles away to the east. There were marks on her abdomen that she had been stabbed by a sharp weapon. Most of her body had rotted and was eaten by ants and insects. It was too horrible to look at. The murder has been approved.
Identified by her clothing and eye color, it is indeed Zhonggong Huanli."
Bei Gonglie's face darkened, and his voice was extremely low: "Who dares to kill Princess Huanli? If I find out, I will kill him with a thousand knives!"
"Bang!" Bei Gonglie punched the armrest, making a loud noise, which frightened Xiang Yini, who was already nervous, so much that her throat almost jumped out of her mouth.
Beigong Qianling, who was originally indifferent, felt something was wrong with Xiang Yini. He looked sideways and saw Xiang Yini pressing her head down, with a slight sweat on her smooth forehead.
Suddenly, a bad premonition came to his mind, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Could this matter... have something to do with her?
Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly. Speaking of which, since she returned to Beiming, she has never seen the imposter "Chu Jiaoli" again.
She looked at Beigong Tengxiao, was this his arrangement? Let Hua Yuejin take over her identity as Zhonggong Huanli, so that she could escape from her shell and regain her true identity?
Thinking of this, she slightly curled her lips. He really had good intentions.
Beigong Tengxiao spoke again: "Father, near the hill, my subordinates found an old woman. The woman said that she was present when Huanli died."
Hearing this, Xiang Yini's head suddenly roared, her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured in a low voice: "It's impossible..."
Beigong Qianling's ears twitched slightly, he frowned and glared at Xiang Yini, and said in a low voice: "What good thing have you done?"
Xiang Yini looked away in fear and said nothing.
Just when Beigong Qianling was feeling uneasy, the old woman had already been brought over.
The old woman knelt down in fear: "A common woman kowtows to the emperor."
"Plain body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Let me ask you, did you really witness the assassination of Princess Huanli that day?" Bei Gonglie said in a gloomy voice.
Hearing this, the old woman was immediately frightened. She finally got up, knelt down with a thud, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! The common woman didn't know that was Princess Huanli! That common woman didn't know that she was Princess Huanli.
I was just passing by the hill accidentally and wanted to go to my sister-in-law's house to get some eggs. Before I reached the door, I saw two young strange girls running out of the house. One of them chased the princess closely, and finally killed the princess.
, the commoner woman was short-sighted, and when she saw the woman's gorgeous clothes, she was afraid that she was a high-status person, so she didn't dare to get into trouble, so she ran away in a hurry, and then she hid it until now..."
Bei Gonglie narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then do you still recognize who that person is?"
The old woman nodded and said: "That woman is very beautiful. A civilian woman will never forget her once she sees her. She seems to have some problems with her left hand. She should be easy to identify."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Xiang Yini casually, and said: "Princess Ling, as far as I know, your left hand seems to have a hidden disease, right?"
Xiang Yini buried her head very low and said in a voice as low as a mosquito, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please stop joking. You Niao's hands are very good..."
Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips and walked slowly in front of her. She lowered her head timidly and pulled Beigong Qianling's robe in desperation.
Beigong Qianling also probably heard it. He gritted his teeth angrily and threw down his sleeves ruthlessly to prevent her from getting close to him.
Xiang Yini backed away helplessly, and then Bei Gong Tengxiao raised his chin frivolously. His voice was hoarse and ghostly, and he said: "After all, you have been my wife. For everything about you, I,
Everything is known..."
Xiang Yini was shaking uncontrollably, and there were tears in her eyes.
Before she could react, Beigong Tengxiao took a step to her side, pinched her chin tightly to prevent her from turning her face away, and said to the old woman: "Look at her, do you know her?"<
/p>
The old woman raised her eyes and her old eyes widened in an instant. She raised her trembling fingers and pointed at her, saying: "That's her! Your Majesty, Your Highness, it was she who killed Princess Huanli. The civilian woman saw it with her own eyes!"
She took a dagger and stabbed Princess Huanli several times in the stomach!"
"No!" Xiang Yiyi's face was full of panic, and she suddenly screamed. She struggled to throw away Bei Gong Tengxiao's hand, stepped back one after another, and said emotionally, "It's not me! You admitted your mistake! How could I harm Huanli?"
Where is the princess?"
Bei Gonglie gasped, his chest heaving unnaturally, his face full of anger.
Xiang Yini knelt down towards Bei Gonglie and cried: "Your Majesty, you know Yia Ni's character! Even if Yia Ni had the courage to do so, Yia Ni would not dare to hurt Princess Huanli even a hair... What's more?
There is no enmity between Yi Ni and Princess Huan Li, so what reason is there to kill her?"
Bei Gonglie seemed a little moved. Although she was Xiang Qanting's daughter, he had watched her grow up since she was a child. She had always been knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and kind, and he never looked like someone who would do such evil things... p>
"Your Majesty, she must have been bribed by someone to frame her up for this!" Xiang Yini cried until she burst into tears, and her weak appearance was unbearable.
Xiaolanzi walked in with small steps, saluted Bei Gonglie, and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Chu Er wants to see you. She said that there is something important that needs to be informed to the Emperor immediately."
Bei Gonglie raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, raised his hand and bowed gently, saying: "Let her come in."
After a moment, a woman in purple official uniform stepped into the house. Chu Jiaoli glanced at her, and her expression suddenly froze. The woman in official uniform was actually Mo Wei!
Mo Wei still had the sneer on her face. She saluted Bei Gonglie and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say about the death of Princess Huanli."
Chu Jiaoli frowned, Mo Wei successfully entered the palace as an official, and was still Bei Gonglie's attendant. Previously, she heard that Mo Wei had contact with Xiang Yini. If she comes, the situation may change...<
/p>
She looked sideways at Beigong Tengxiao, but his expression was still calm and strategizing, with a cruel look in his deep eyes that she couldn't understand.
Seeing Mo Wei coming, Xiang Yini's eyes flickered and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, Mo Wei will definitely speak for her. She is a popular person next to Bei Gonglie, so her words must have weight.
Bei Gonglie frowned and said, "What do you have to say?"
Mo Wei glanced sideways at Xiang Yini and said, "Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that it was indeed Princess Ling who assassinated Princess Huanli."
