Chapter eight hundred and forty seventh: Being victimized
"Okay, hurry up and check those two corpses to see why they died." After hearing Hongli's words, Lin Gui hurried over and got to the corpses he was used to dealing with. He calmed down a lot and inspected carefully. In the process
During the process, no one spoke, quietly waiting for the results.
About the time it took to touch the stick of incense, Lin Gui came over and saluted and said: "To report to the emperor, according to the inspection by the servant, these two people should have drowned."
"So, the place where they died was Linyuan Pond. In other words, they drowned themselves in the water instead of being killed and then dumping their bodies in the pond?"
Lin Gui hesitated for a moment and said: "Lin Yuan Pond should be the place where people died, but they... probably didn't commit suicide by drowning, but... were killed by others!"
Before Hongli could speak, Concubine Yu pushed away Yehenala who was supporting her, and ran over quickly and said: "Were they...really killed by someone? Who is it! Who are they!"
Lin Gui was startled by her appearance and stammered: "This... minion... I still... don't know yet."
Concubine Yu said sternly: "How could you not know, if this is the case, what are you being asked to do?"
Lin Gui lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Hongli pulled Concubine Yu and said: "The duty of the concubine is to examine the body, not to find the murderer. Besides, in such a short time, not to mention him, even the gods will not know it."
.”
Concubine Yu choked up and said: "I... I know, but I really want to know who killed Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi. The two of them are like relatives to me.
I cannot allow them to die in an unknown manner, this is not allowed!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited as she spoke, Hongli held her hand and said, "I understand how you feel. Don't worry, I will definitely catch the person who killed them."
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said calmly: "Concubine Yu, it's not helpful for you to cry like this. On the contrary, it hinders the emperor's questioning and loses your proper manners. If you really feel uncomfortable, go back to Xianfu Palace first.
I will send someone to inform you when there is news."
Concubine Yu's expression froze for a moment, then she sobbed and said: "I've lost my temper, please forgive me. As for my son... I can still bear it, and there is no need to go back to Xianfu Palace. Thank you for your concern."
Regarding her answer, Ling Ruo didn't say anything. Her eyes fell on Lin Gui and said, "Tell me why you said they were killed by someone."
Lin Gui kowtowed and said in a panic: "Back to the Queen Mother, although the cause of death of these two people was drowning, the servant found traces of being tied on their hands, and the body
The female corpse had her eyes blinded and her ears pierced before she died. In addition, there were marks of being stabbed on her hands, feet, and fingers, which can be said to have been tortured."
His words made everyone gasp in unison. He didn't even mind killing people, but he actually tortured her. Who on earth had such a deep hatred for Dongmei and wanted to do such a cruel thing!
Lin Gui's voice continued, "According to my inference, the object used for torture should be a sharp and long object, something like a hairpin."
"Hairpin..." Concubine Yu muttered and repeated, suddenly rushed to Dongmei's body, and then said: "Yes, there is indeed one missing."
Xianyue walked over and said, "What's missing?"
Concubine Yu pointed at Dongmei and said: "I once gave Dongmei a silver butterfly-shaped hairpin. Dongmei liked it very much and often wore it. On the day she disappeared, I remember wearing it in her hair."
, but now all the other pearl flower hairpins are there, but that one is missing. Could it be that hairpin that was used to harm her?"
The corners of Xianyue's lips curled up slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect Concubine Yu to care so much about a palace servant. She even remembers what kind of hairpin the palace servant is wearing."
Concubine Yu's eyes flashed, and she said in a solemn voice: "To me, Dongmei is not an ordinary palace person. Besides, the hairpin was rewarded by me personally, so I am more impressed."
Regarding her words, Xianyue was noncommittal, and then said: "What you just said is very possible, but it is also possible that the hairpin sank to the bottom of the pond when Dongmei fell into the water."
"Maybe." After saying this, Concubine Yu cried painfully: "What did the person who killed Dongmei and the others want to do? How could he be so cruel? They were two living lives, let alone
With his eyes, ears and ten fingers pierced, he...he is simply not human!
"As she said that, she gritted her teeth and said: "If I let my concubine find this person, absolutely...absolutely..." Halfway through her words, she suddenly closed her eyes and fell back. Yu Liu was startled and hurriedly supported him.
She exclaimed: "Master, Master, what's wrong with you? You...don't scare this slave!"
Xianyue took a look and said: "Don't worry too much. Your master must have fainted because of excessive sadness. Help her back quickly." After that, she said to Qi Kuan beside her: "Please help me.
Help Concubine Yu back, be careful."
Qi Kuan agreed and helped Yu Fei back together with Yu Liu. After they left, Hongli stared at Lin Gui and said, "What else was found?"
Lin Gui shook his head and said: "If I go back to the emperor, I have only found these for the time being, and there are no other clues."
Hongli nodded slightly, turned his eyes and said: "Sixi, go to the guard camp to find a few people who are strong and proficient in water skills, and ask them to salvage the area where the body was found to see if they can find the hairpin that Concubine Yu mentioned.
, if not, the hairpin is the only clue."
Sixi moved very quickly. Not long after, he brought several guards over. After going into the water to salvage, they found nothing.
After Hongli placed the two corpses, he came to Ling Ruo, who had not said anything, and said: "Empress, it's getting late. My son will help you go back."
Ling Ruo nodded, and with Hongli's support, left amidst the greetings of everyone. After they left, Huang and Xia Qing accompanied Xianyue to the Yanxi Palace. Hu missed her two children.
So I never went with him.
After the palace servants served tea and left, Huang said: "My Lady, who did you say did this, and why did she deal with Dongmei so cruelly?"
Xianyue said amusingly: "Do you think I am a god? This matter is so strange, how could I know about it? Moreover, Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi are slaves, and it is impossible for them to form deep hatred with others in the palace, so
Their deaths must have been caused by Concubine Yu, but Concubine Yu..." She shook her head and said: "Except for us, I really can't think of anyone else who has such a deep hatred for her."
Mrs. Huang took it seriously and said: "That's right. After much thought, I can't find a suitable person."
Xianyue's eyes turned slightly, and when she saw Xia Qing holding tea without saying anything, she asked, "What is Mr. Xia thinking?"
Xia Qing raised her head, bit her lip and said, "I am wondering if Concubine Yu's reaction just now was too much?"
