Chapter 0190 Li Jieyu paid a lot of money to buy paintings
As Yu Changqing entered the palace again, they came to Qiling Palace again.
Yue Luo knelt in the center of the palace and shivered. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and the slap marks were clearly visible. Her exposed arms were covered with slender red marks, as if someone had been whipped with a whip or a bamboo cane. It was shocking to see. Listening to other palace people's guesses,
It was Concubine Yu who instigated the move last night.
"Miss Yueluo, I have checked that in the past two months, you are the only palace member in Qiling Palace who often leaves the palace. Do you know that bringing musk into the palace privately for your mother-in-law to take is a capital offense?"
"What? Musk...musk?"
Yue Luo hesitated for a moment, her pupils dilated, her legs became weak, and she was so frightened that she could not even speak.
"You'd better tell the truth and don't hide anything."
"Sir, spare your life! I don't know anything! Please spare my life!"
Yue Luo shook her head crazily, remembering that she was beaten last night, and the wounds on her body were so painful that she shivered.
"Are you usually the one responsible for brewing your mother-in-law's medicine, and you never let anyone else do it?"
"Your Majesty, you are aware of it! It is true that the slave made the medicine with his own hands, but the slave really did not let go of the musk!"
"Don't be afraid. As long as you tell who ordered you to drug her, I can protect your life."
"I really don't know! Your Majesty only asked me to go to Jiyuefang to buy incense, and there was never any musk! Even if you are very brave, I would not dare to harm your Majesty!"
Jiyuefang? Incense? Why is it Mi Yao again? She was the one who hid the evil spirit for Si Li last time and made them go through many circles. What about Li Jieyu? What is the relationship between them? She was named
Jieyu has been there for two months, but Mi Yao probably hasn't even been there for half a month since she went to Jiyuefang.
Su Zhen walked slowly towards Yue Luo, her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Yue Luo fell to the ground, supporting her body with her hands and moving back, her crystal tears rolling down her cheeks like broken pearls.
"Miss Yueluo, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Su Zhen spoke softly, and took out a small and exquisite porcelain box from the front of her chest, with plum blossom patterns on the outside. When she opened the lid, the cool medicinal fragrance hit her nostrils.
Yue Luo suddenly felt that the pain in her body seemed to have disappeared a lot, but her guard still remained.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"The girl has a delicate appearance, like a hibiscus. It will be time to leave the palace in two years. She will definitely be married to a good family, but it will be bad if she leaves a scar. I made this ointment myself. You can apply it on the wound.
It will take less than three days to ensure that your injuries will heal and all scars will disappear without leaving any traces."
Su Zhen's voice after incorporating spiritual power is so charming and soft that people know that they will fall for it, but they are willing to be bewitched by it.
Not only was Yue Luo's cheeks hot and her earlobes so red that they seemed to be bleeding, but even Yu Changqing, Jin Lian, and other palace officials could hardly control their emotions.
"Slave, thank you Su Shaoqing for your kindness!" Yue Luo took the medicine box from her hand.
"It's okay, it's just a box of ointment." Su Zhen smiled lightly and dazzled Yueluo again.
"By the way, Su Shaoqing, my slave... I remember that my empress admires Miss Xiyan's paintings from Jiyuefang."
Xiyan?!
Everyone was relieved when they saw Su Zhen's 'beauty trap' working. They didn't expect that just a box of ointment could make Yue Luo relax.
Jin Lian murmured, "Xiyan? Isn't that the woman from the Red Mansion who was killed by the conspirator before? I remember that her body was burned into a charred corpse in the morgue. There should be no connection between them."
Su Zhen stood up and retorted, "No, I told you before that the people killed by Lie Juan were all extremely evil people. I checked later and found that Xiyan was a philanthropist and had never done anything bad. It was impossible for Ju Ju to kill her.
.”
Killing the Lord asked Lesha to brutally kill the evildoers who had committed serious crimes in the name of trickery, and use their spirit of resentment to help him transform into a human body.
But Lesha said before he died that he did not kill Xiyan. She later went to Lexu and got confirmation from him that Xiyan's death had nothing to do with Qiqi, who was possessed by Killer at that time.
"Su Shaoqing, do you think Miss Xiyan's death has something to do with Li Jieyu? It's not because she found that monster living in Qiqi's body and was killed? Actually, I think you're overthinking it. There's no need for you to insist on this.
We can definitely continue to investigate in the harem based on Musk’s clues.”
"I told you, Xiyan was not killed by a trickster!"
Jin Lian asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"There are some things I can't explain to you for a while. In short, there should be another reason for Xiyan's death." Su Zhen turned to Yue Luo again and asked, "Miss Yue Luo, the painting you bought from Xi Yan is in
where?"
"Just under Jieyu's bed." Yue Luo pointed to the inner hall with a trembling finger.
Receiving instructions from Yu Changqing's eyes, Jin Lian immediately led the people towards the inner hall. They quickly carried seven or eight black wooden boxes out.
The wooden boxes come in different shapes and sizes and are not locked.
They unfolded the scrolls inside one by one. There were paintings of stunning beauties, beautiful mountains and rivers, blooming flowers, a pavilion near the south of the Yangtze River, and a panoramic view of Kyoto. There were all kinds of paintings, which made people dazzled, but they couldn't help but marvel.
Xiyan has superb painting skills.
Su Zhen held the scroll in her hands and recalled in her mind the scene when she went to Jiyuefang to look for Xi Yan that day.
At that time, the paintings and calligraphy in Xiyan's room were scattered all over the floor. She was lying on the scroll in a rich dress, with exquisite makeup and a rosy complexion. There were no wounds on her body. She had her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, looking calm as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
They checked carefully and found that Xiyan had indeed stopped breathing and had no pulse at all. Even... the death condition was exactly the same as Yue Luo's description of Li Jieyu's body before she disappeared.
Su Zhen carefully recalled the situation at that time, compared the scroll with her opponent, and looked at the tie holding the scroll.
"It's strange. Although Li Jieyu likes Xiyan's paintings, she has never opened them after buying them."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Look, this tie-tying method is the same as Xiyan's usual method. In other words, Li Jieyu bought the painting and never dismantled it, so why did she spend so much money to buy the painting?"
"Is there anything else hidden in this box?"
Jin Lian knelt down and took out all the scrolls, but other than that, there was really nothing.
"Yueluo, did you buy these paintings from Jiyuefang?"
"Yes, after I bought it and gave it to the queen, I have never touched it again."
Yu Changqing had been listening carefully, but at this moment he also noticed something was wrong, "Miss Xiyan's paintings from Jiyuefang are not only worth a thousand pieces of gold, but they are also valuable. But even if Li Jieyu had a reward from the emperor, it would be impossible for her to buy it.
You can afford so much. Cai Xun, take people to count Li Jieyu's belongings, and later conduct a thorough investigation of Xiyan's family background. Jin Lian, continue to check the records of suspicious people leaving the palace, and try to see if you can find a breakthrough. You Ning
, you come with me to meet Concubine Yu."
"yes!"
The three of them leaned over and clasped their fists at the same time and responded.
