"Insolent!" The queen glared angrily and pointed at Su Ranhua, "You are so rude to me, how can a little girl escape your cruel hands? Hold her down and beat me hard.
Let’s see how long she can be stubborn!”
Without any explanation, Su Ranhua was grabbed by the arms by two eunuchs and pressed hard to the ground.
The stick hit her body one after another, blowing fierce winds.
"Aunt Queen!" Bai Yiyi ran from outside the palace and hurried to the queen, "It turns out that you asked the princess to accompany Yiyi to the imperial garden to relax, because you didn't want Yiyi to see the princess being punished. However, Hao has not confirmed the murderer yet.
You can't punish the princess like this, if you wrongly accuse someone——"
"Yiyi," the queen's eyes softened, and she looked at the kind-hearted niece with some helplessness, "I am afraid that you will obstruct me, so I let you go to the imperial garden. Isn't this an obvious thing? In addition to this daring Su Ranhua
, who else would attack Xiaorou? Xiaorou has always been by your side, and you know her very well. When have you offended others? Why don't I say a few more words for you in front of Su Ran's picture."
"Aunt?" Bai Yiyi looked at the queen in surprise, "How do you know?"
"Silly boy, last night you went to the palace to talk to me. How could you hide this injured face from me?" The queen touched Bai Yiyi's face with a sad expression, "After that, I will have wine with you.
I made you drunk, and you kept crying and talking about Xiaorou, and I naturally knew everything about it. Don’t worry, I will make the decision for you. "
"But, Hao——" Bai Yiyi said.
"Hao'er's behavior is unpredictable. This time I ignored him." The queen interrupted Bai Yiyi with a firm tone, "Didn't you also believe that Su Ranhua was the murderer at first? I believe you.
Be intuitive and trust your own judgment. I will take care of this matter."
"Su Ranhua, are you going to attack??" The queen turned to Su Ranhua and asked sternly. At this time, she was beaten all over her body, but her lips were tightened, her fists were clenched, and she did not let out a cry of pain.
"I didn't expect that the Queen would only do such things as a result of being beaten." Su Ranhua lay on the ground, raised his head, and sneered. His voice was very low and weak, but it still reached the Queen's ears without missing a word.
The smile painted by Su Ran is terrifying, tragic and beautiful.
"Auntie," Bai Yiyi looked at the queen with pleading eyes.
"You plead for her? Don't you hate her?" the queen asked.
"Hate, but there must be a convincing reason. Yiyi doesn't want people to think of her as someone who is good at using torture." Bai Yiyi said.
The use of torture is also a kind of power. The queen did not say these words. She did not want to pollute Bai Yiyi's pure mind. She waved her hand to signal the person who suppressed Su Ranhua to step back and said, "Okay, I will give you a
Satisfactory answer. Take Su Ranhua to the criminal cell for the time being. Don’t think about it until the case is solved."
If it is broken, it will still not come out, because the conclusion is that Su Ranhua is the murderer.
Su Ranhua was carried away. She no longer had the strength to walk. The place where she was hit was sore and painful. You could tell without even looking that the skin and flesh were torn.
Such a cruel queen, no wonder she has a son as vicious as Ximen Hao. Like mother, like son. Su Ranhua thought bitterly.
Bai Yiyi looked at Su Ranhua, who was as weak as a pile of mud. There was an unpredictable smile hidden on the corner of her lips, hidden in the shadow of the sun, and no one noticed it.
"Eunuch Chen," the queen ordered the duck-voiced man, "let the people in the criminal room investigate this matter quickly and don't go easy on Su Ranhua."
"Yes, I understand." Eunuch Chen with a duck voice happily accepted the order, and was secretly happy in his heart. Su Ranhua didn't expect that the feng shui would change so quickly. He would fall into the hands of the Za family in the blink of an eye. Even a few days before his death, Su Ranhua
Don’t even think about it, hehe!
Mingyue Tower is the largest restaurant in the capital, but the decoration style is more elegant, which is very different from the extravagance of wine and meat.
Butler Lin walked into Mingyue Tower and went straight to a private room at the end of the second floor.
"What's going on?" Ximen Hao was sitting in the room near the window, holding a tea cup and casually looking at the scenery in the distance.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has invited the Princess into the palace." Butler Lin lowered his hands and said.
"Please?" Ximen Hao expressed doubts about this word, otherwise Butler Lin would not have rushed to Mingyue Tower to find him.
"That's what Eunuch Chen said." Butler Lin said, "But the situation is not that simple."
"Yiyi entered the palace last night." Ximen Hao took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Last night, Bai Yiyi said she couldn't bear to face Xiaorou's tragic death, so she left the palace and entered the palace overnight. Ximen Hao was not in the palace at that time, but she got the news later.
"The old slave thinks so too, so I came here to inform the prince." Lin Guanjia said, the unfinished meaning of which was that Su Ranhua's being called away by the queen was related to yesterday's murder.
"Got it." Ximen Hao said calmly, without any reaction. He still looked out the window casually, not knowing where the target in his eyes was.
"Your Majesty, don't you plan to go take a look?" Butler Lin paused and asked.
Ximen Hao never likes people to talk too much, but Butler Lin is an exception. The relationship between this old slave, whom he calls Uncle Yiyi, and him are a little more than the average master-servant relationship. This is because they have been together for more than 20 years.
A strong accumulation.
"Now that you have entered the palace, there is no need to leave in a hurry." Ximen Hao said calmly.
Butler Lin wanted to say something else, but in the end the words got stuck in his throat and he didn't say them out.
Ximen Hao took another sip of tea, narrowed his eyes and glanced at the endless stream of passers-by downstairs, "Pay attention to the news in the palace and report it to the king at any time."
"Yes." Butler Lin resigned. A look of worry flashed across his eyes. That Su Ran painting really impressed him deeply. It's no wonder that the prince didn't find a reason to abolish her for the time being. But if she fell into the hands of the queen, she would be miserable again.
Oh. It's such a pity that such a good girl would cause trouble with Su Luo City.
Not long after, Ximen Hao received news from the palace again. Su Ranhua was beaten with a stick in the Queen's Jinhuayuan and was taken to the criminal room. News of Su Ranhua's murder had spread in the palace. I believe it will be soon.
It will soon reach the ears of Suluo City.
When Ximen Hao heard the word "staff responsibility", his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. This was a feeling he had never felt before.
Hiding his surprised eyes, Ximen Hao squeezed the empty tea cup tightly, and it broke into pieces with a snap. He kneaded it in his palm, and his powerful internal energy turned it into powder, which flowed along his fingers.
He must hate her very much. Does the woman who dared to conspire with others and scheme against him still have a pair of stubborn eyes after being scolded by the Queen Mother?
