Xu's words surprised everyone. They didn't expect that she would hear these. Yinzhen thought for a moment and said, "When did you hear this?"
"Not long before the emperor and the two empresses came in." As soon as Xu's voice fell, Yinzhen said again: "Then you may recognize that man's voice?"
Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and said, "Although we were separated by the door at the time, we could still hear clearly. It should be OK."
Yinzhen cast his gaze on Jiang Yue and ordered him to repeat what Xu just said. Jiang Yue thought that he had never done it before, so he spoke without fear. Xu seemed unsure and asked him to repeat it.
After three times, he said: "Your Majesty, I can be sure that it is him."
Before Yinzhen could speak, Jiang Yue said in a panic: "This is impossible. I didn't kill Xu Guiren at all, and I never said anything like that. How could you hear it."
Mrs. Xu seemed to be startled by his ferocious look, she shrank back and said, "But... what I heard just now was obviously this voice, there is no mistake about it."
Ling Ruo frowned and said, "Mrs. Xu, when Jiang Yue said it the first two times, you didn't recognize it. In other words, you were not so sure, otherwise there would be no need to say it three times."
Mrs. Xu pinched her palms, lowered her head and said: "Returning to your Majesty, in fact, the first two times I heard it sounded very familiar to me, but I was just not sure. But when he said it for the third time, I can be sure that it was the same as what I heard before.
are exactly the same.”
Although what she said was categorical, both Ling Ruo and the Guarjia family knew that it must be a lie, because there would be no other person besides Hong Shi who had committed adultery with the Xu family, and there was no way Jiang Yue would kill Xu to protect himself.
I originally thought that Jiang Yue was sent by the Nala family to get rid of the Xu family, but now it seems that it doesn't look like it. Instead, it gives people the feeling of being a scapegoat and an abandoned son. After all... what is Nala's plan?
?
Guarjia raised her eyebrows and said: "This is strange. If Jiang Yue really killed Xu Guiren, he should have escaped quickly. Why did he seal the doors and windows and trap himself here? It is really unreasonable."
Mrs. Xu's eyelids twitched and she said: "From the time the servants heard what they said to the time when the emperor and the two empresses came in, it didn't take much time. I think it was when Jiang Yue wanted to escape that he heard some movement outside and knew that he would be caught if he went out.
So he deliberately blocked the door with something to delay time."
Guarjia's eyes rolled slightly, "What about the window? What's your explanation?"
Mrs. Xu was silent for a while and said: "I am not Jiang Yue. I don't know what he is thinking. Those things I just made were bold speculations by you. If the empress feels something is wrong, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Listening to their words, Jiang Yue said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have not done anything. I have not done anything. I am unjust!"
Ling Ruo said from the side: "Your Majesty, the Xu family had an affair with someone in Hui'an Temple and became pregnant with an evil child. Jiang Yue is a guard in the palace and has no connection with the Xu family."
As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, a cool voice came from outside, "When the Xu family was in Hui'an Temple, there were some imperial guards accompanying them, and Jiang Yue might be one of them."
This voice made Ling Ruo narrow her eyes slightly and look at the door, and she saw Nala walking in. Even at this time, Nala was still not messy at all, and every part of her body showed the beauty of being a queen.
Decent and dignified elegance.
The Nala clan knelt down and said to Yinzhen: "I heard that the emperor mobilized all the guards to come to Yikun Palace late at night. I was afraid that something would happen, so I hurried over to take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came over, I heard the imperial concubine talking about the guards. Concubine.
I replied casually, not knowing whether it was right or wrong, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."
"It's okay." After Yinzhen's words fell, Nala said carefully: "I forgive you for talking too much. I don't know what happened in Yikun Palace to mobilize troops like this.
“Mr.
Anji?”
The leader of the guards did not dare to be negligent, and said with cupped hands: "To tell you what the emperor is saying, Jiang Yue did go to Hui'an Temple to protect Xu Guiren." While he was speaking, a guard behind him hesitated to speak. When Yinzhen saw him, he said, "What do you want?
say what?"
The guard said in fear: "When I got back to the emperor, someone came to Jiang Yue at night, saying that it was about the incident at Hui'an Temple. But after that, Jiang Yue never appeared again, until now."
Jiang Yue heard this and said quickly: "Your Majesty, it was the man who knocked his subordinates unconscious. He was the one who framed them. I beg your Majesty to investigate clearly."
While he was talking, Nala kept staring at him and said: "You are quite handsome and heroic, and you are also young. This kind of appearance is the easiest to attract some young women to follow you. Xu Guiren will like you."
, not surprising.”
"My subordinate has not done anything. I have never done anything, let alone killed Xu Guiren. I am unjustly accused." Jiang Yue shouted excitedly. How could he remain calm after suffering such a great injustice for no reason.
"It would be too early to say that Jiang Yue is having an affair with Xu Guiren." After hearing Guarjia's words, Nala glanced at her quickly and said, "I didn't insist that it was Jiang Yue, but it's better than
Regarding Liu Hu and Hong Shi, he is the most likely from every aspect, isn't he? And if he has nothing to do with this matter, why would he come to kill Xu Guiren to silence him?"
These words made it difficult for Guarjia to answer. After a while, he said: "Maybe someone really framed him in order to get rid of his own suspicion. Furthermore, if it was really him, why did Zi Rong say he was the second elder brother? This is
It doesn’t make sense no matter what.”
Nala looked at Yinzhen, who had a gloomy face, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, I can't answer Concubine Jin's question, but I believe in Hongshi and can even guarantee with my life that he will never do such a thing.
.”
"I didn't say it must be him." Yinzhen said indifferently. At this time, Liu Hu's suspicion has been basically eliminated, and only Hongshi and Jiang Yue are left. Jiang Yue is undoubtedly the most suspicious, but Xu's previous treatment
Hongshi's attitude really made him a little suspicious.
Ling Ruo suddenly asked: "May I ask the queen, where is the second elder brother at this moment?"
Nala's heart tightened, and she said calmly on the surface: "I am in Kunning Palace, but I got the news and came here in a hurry, and did not bother to wake Hongshi up. Could it be possible that there is a problem even with this?"
Ling Ruo lowered his eyes and said, "I don't dare, but the matter has reached this stage and a fetal blood test is impossible. The only way is to summon all the people related to this matter here, confront them face to face, and ask questions clearly.
Your Majesty, do you think my concubine is right?"
