For the sake of caution, Yu Wenhao asked Gu Si to ask the palace servants who were in the imperial garden at the time to ask again about the confession submitted by the palace to see if there was any new discovery.
Gu Si didn't trust Fu Su's people to do things, so he personally took the imperial guards to ask them again. He also went to the imperial concubine's palace to ask A Cai and your concubine.
Concubine Ru's words were watertight. Although it seemed to be very inconsistent with her way of doing things, she couldn't fault it. In order to save the prince, she invited Princess An, who was watching Concubine Hu's fall in the Suxin Palace, to go out.
. Then Princess An suffered from abdominal pain and could not walk. She was placed in the nearby Xiangxian Yue Pavilion, and the curtains were closed in case of strong winds, but there was no problem.
As for Ah Cai's previous confession, it was lackluster. The only focus was that she ran to the Shangxian Yue Pavilion. But at that time, someone had already discovered that Princess An was attacked, and the curtain had been opened. In other words, she was betrayed by you when Princess An was attacked.
When the concubine was attacked, she was not with her, and she was not the first to discover it.
She was Princess An's personal maid. But on this matter, she couldn't provide any useful information at all. The only useful thing was that she said that the skirt Princess An was wearing at that time was not red.
In other words, the red skirt that Marquis Zhenbei saw was not necessarily a skirt, but a blood stain.
But this is just one-sided words from Zhenbei Hou. Perhaps when submitted to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, it is not enough to be accepted. It may even be said that he deliberately guided the investigation direction of the chief judge, making the chief judge think that when he was approaching Shangxian Yueting, Princess An
He was already injured to clear himself of suspicion.
After asking the two of them, King An walked out with his hands behind his back. Gu Si was shocked when he saw King An. It was only a short day, but King An was much haggard, his eyes were red and his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were like
The sharp blade looks very cold and intimidating at first glance.
"Gu Si!" King An raised his sinister eyes and stared at Gu Si, "Go and tell Yu Wenhao, don't even think about excusing that old man. I have also asked, and most of the people in the imperial garden at that time were brothers and ladies from aristocratic families.
Either it was the slaves and eunuchs in the palace, and no one who was present at that time except him, the Marquis of Zhenbei, knew martial arts. On this point, no matter how he washed his hands, he would not be able to get rid of the crime. This king will stare at him to death. If he does not die,
This king will not forgive him even if he commits a serious crime of murder."
Gu Si found that he was somewhat considerate of Prince An, perhaps because he was married and had a wife whom he loved deeply. Everyone knew that Prince An doted on his wife. Now that Princess An's life or death was uncertain, his only obsession was to kill the murderer.
Therefore, Gu Si did not say too much and only said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this case is of great importance and the murderer will never go unpunished."
King An said sternly: "The murderer is the old man of Zhenbeihou."
Gu Si didn't want to argue, but he felt a little harsh after hearing these words, and said: "Wei Chen understands the prince's mood very well, but now that the truth has not been found out, and the prince is so arbitrary, it is better to say that Zhenbei Hou is the murderer.
If not, wouldn’t it mean that the murderer is allowed to go free?”
Aru added a sentence beside him, with a slightly sad and angry tone, "Master Gu's words are biased. Just now, the prince said that in the imperial garden, he is the only one who knows martial arts, Zhenbeihou. The princess was controlled by the force of the palm."
It's hurt. This shows that the murderer doesn't think about anyone other than him. I know that the relationship between the prince and the Marquis of Zhenbei is good now, but we can't do it for personal gain. Sir, the princess is still lying in there and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. Even the child in her belly is not there.
If you can't save it, you have to be conscientious when handling the case."
Ah Cai also cried, "Yes, the murderer must be brought to justice. It's so hateful. The princess has no power to restrain a chicken, but she is gentle and kind in her heart. How ferocious a person can do such evil deeds? If not
If the murderer is brought to justice, wouldn't the death of the prince in the princess's palace be in vain?"
When Gu Si saw that King An heard what A Ru and A Cai said, his eyes turned furious. He took a step forward, with veins pulsing on his forehead. He stared at Gu Si and said coldly: "Listen, San
Within days, if the Jingzhao Mansion still delays in closing the case, I will go and kill the murderer myself."
Gu Si didn't want to challenge King An's bottom line, so he had to say goodbye.
He sighed. King An stubbornly believed that Marquis Zhenbei was the murderer. If the investigation could not produce results after three days, he might really kill Marquis Zhenbei.
What can't an angry person do?
Gu Si then went to ask the palace officials who were in the Royal Garden that day, and also asked the person who discovered what happened in Prince An's Mansion.
The person who discovered Princess An was the eldest concubine of Hejun Prince's family, so Gu Si sent someone to inform Yu Wenhao and asked Yu Wenhao to go to Hejun Prince's Palace to collect the confession, while he continued to stay in the palace to ask questions.
Yu Wenhao went to Prince Hejun's Mansion. The Crown Princess was so frightened that she fell ill when she came back last night. She heard that the Crown Prince came to ask about what happened yesterday, and she was helped out by the Crown Prince.
After the ceremony, the prince helped the prince to sit down. Yu Wenhao saw that the prince's face was pale and white, her lips were dark purple, and her eyes were darkened. Her eyes were full of panic, which showed that she was really frightened.
The Crown Princess said: "Yesterday I took my maid and walked around the imperial garden. I originally wanted to enjoy the plum blossoms, but I didn't know that there weren't many plum blossoms in bloom. I met a few ladies on the way and after chatting for a while, I felt tired.
I wanted to find a place to rest for a while and drink some hot tea to warm myself up. Since it was close to the Moon Pavilion, and I saw the curtains were drawn down, I thought there might be people inside, so I just happened to have a chat and have fun while waiting for the dinner party.
Go back again, but you don’t know..."
When she said this, she suddenly shuddered and took a sip of hot tea to calm down before continuing, "Unexpectedly, as soon as I climbed up the stone steps, my maid said she could smell the smell of blood. She said
When I arrived, I immediately asked who the lady was inside. After asking twice and getting no answer, the maid opened the curtain and took a look, and saw a person sitting and leaning forward on the stone table, with his clothes flowing underneath.
There was a pool of blood. I was so frightened that I quickly asked the maid to go in and have a look. The maid called twice, reached out and pushed gently, and saw the man fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood. I was
I didn't see clearly that it was Princess An, so I screamed in fright, and then people came over one after another and said it was Princess An, and that Princess An had a miscarriage. After that, I was helped away, and I didn't know what happened next."
After Yu Wenhao heard this, he called the maid to come out and ask. What the maid said was no different from that of the Crown Princess. That was basically it.
The Crown Princess stroked her chest and said sadly: "In the panic at that time, everyone thought that Princess An had just fainted due to miscarriage, but they didn't know that she had been poisoned. It was really cruel. Princess An was such a good person, and she was pregnant with her.
It’s so cruel that you should suffer such a misfortune when you’re pregnant.”
The Crown Prince comforted her and turned to ask Yu Wenhao, "Brother Crown Prince, I heard that the murderer was Concubine Hu's father, Marquis Zhenbei, right?"
Yu Wenhao looked at him and said: "The case is still under investigation. It is unknown who the murderer is. We cannot make hasty conclusions and you cannot make random speculations. Do you understand?"
The prince nodded, "I know that I don't dare to say a word outside. But I went out today and heard everyone talking about it, saying that the Marquis of Zhenbei was the murderer."
Yu Wenhao felt deeply powerless, and then public opinion came out to cause chaos again.
