Just when Yongzhang was about to close the cabinet door, Yongxuan saw a touch of white that was accidentally exposed outside his sleeve, and said in surprise: "Third brother, are you injured?"
Yongzhang looked a little uncomfortable, covered his sleeves and said: "It's just a minor injury, don't worry, it will be fine in a few days." Before Yongxuan could say anything, he said again: "Let's go, let's find a place to place the jade first.
But you can't put it in your house."
Yongxuan nodded. After placing the jade and returning to the house alone, he looked down at the rag that he had not thrown away, and what happened just now flashed through his mind.
He really remembered that the third brother wore clothes of this color, just...
Yong Xun's face suddenly changed drastically, and he stared at the rag in his hand. He remembered that just the day before Er Niang died, the third brother was wearing this clothes. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. However, when they met again the next day, he was wearing the same clothes.
After changing clothes, the original one was nowhere to be found. The third brother even insisted that he had never worn it at all.
Clothes... Could it be...
A horrifying thought appeared in Yongxun's mind. The next moment, he shook his head hurriedly and murmured: "This is impossible, it can't be the third brother, no way!"
Although he tried his best to deny it, the thought kept lingering in his mind, making him restless. By the way, he remembered Wu Si said that the jadeite was found in the backyard. It was very likely that the jadeite had not left Chonghua Palace.
, but the third brother had appeared in Chonghua Palace, and this was without their knowledge.
And... the injury on the third brother's right hand. Zuo Zuo, who performed the autopsy for E Niang, once said that E Niang might have bitten someone before she died. However, Huang Ama checked all the palace people and found no injuries on them, making this case
If the matter is settled, could it be that... the person bit by E Niang was the third brother? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
However, he couldn't figure out what the third brother's reason was for killing E Niang. Although there had been a dispute between the two of them, they would not kill someone to vent their anger. Also, if it was really the third brother who killed her, why did Xiao Mencius do it?
Did you admit the whole thing to protect your third brother?
Yongxun had a headache and couldn't think of an answer. After hesitating for a long time, he stood up and opened the door to go out. When the door opened, he unexpectedly saw Yongzhang standing outside. He raised his hand and was about to knock the door. When he saw him coming out, he smiled and said:
"Are you hungry? I was about to ask you to have dinner with me, but you came out on your own before I even knocked on the door. Come on."
Looking at that very familiar face, Yongxuan felt a little strange and refused: "I still have some things to go out, third brother, let's use them first."
Yong Zhang said in surprise: "Where are you going so late?"
Yongxun hesitated for a while and said: "I remembered that there are some things left in Chonghua Palace, and I want to get them."
Hearing this, Yongzhang said indifferently: "So that's it, don't be in a hurry, just wait until tomorrow. We won't be without everything, so let's go have a meal first."
"I feel uneasy, so it's better to go get it." As he said that, he walked away quickly, and behind him, Yong Zhang, who was hidden in the darkness, had a solemn look on his face.
Yongxun did not go to Chonghua Palace as he said, but to Kunning Palace. Huang's death was a great blow to Xianyue. She was depressed all day long, no matter how Qi Kuan and Zheng Jiu changed.
It's no use trying to make Xianyue happy.
As for Zhichun, she is no longer on duty in Kunning Palace. It can be said that she indirectly contributed to Huang's death. Although Xianyue thought about the relationship between master and servant for many years and did not punish her in the end, Zhichun could not pass her own test.
Faced with Xianyue without shame, he took the initiative to be transferred to Zhongcuigong as an errand.
After Yongxun bowed, Xianyue, who was sitting on the bed, waved her hand: "Come, come to me."
Yongxuan stepped forward as instructed and said, "Empress Huang, are you feeling better?"
"It's better." Xianyue caressed Yongxun's thin face and said, "I heard that you stayed in Chonghua Palace for a day today?"
Yongxun nodded, "I would like to take advantage of the fact that the Chonghua Palace has not yet been closed to the public to see more and spend more time."
Xianyue sighed softly and said: "I understand that the person who will suffer the most after Concubine Yi Min's departure is you. I am sorry for you mother and son."
Yongxun said hurriedly: "Empress Huang, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, little Mencius and the others wouldn't have been punished as they deserved."
Xianyue snorted softly and said: "These are just clowns. The real murderer is still safe and sound, but don't worry, I will let her pay the debt one day."
Yongxun bit his lips and whispered: "Empress, I am suspicious... suspicious..."
Xianyue waited for a while, but didn't see him continue speaking, so she frowned and said, "What do you suspect?"
Yongxun hesitated for a moment, handed the rag that he had been holding to Xianyue, and said, "This is what I found on the jade claw. Please take a look."
Xianyue knew that Mr. Huang had a parrot named Jade. She took a closer look at the rag and said, "Which piece of clothing should this be taken from? Since you brought it to me specifically, it's not easy to think about it."
, there are no outsiders here, tell me."
After hearing her words, Yongxuan secretly took a breath and said: "When Eniang passed away, Jade flew across for a while, and later found it in the backyard of Chonghua Palace. Erchen recognized this piece of rag and had worn it with his third brother.
The clothes are exactly the same, but when Erchen asked the third brother today, he denied it flatly, saying that he had never had such clothes, and even asked Erchen to see the cabinet in his house, and it was true that there was none."
After listening to his words, Zheng Jiu said softly: "Could it be that you remembered it wrong, Brother Four?"
"I thought so at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I can confirm that the third brother does have such a piece of clothing."
Xianyue pondered for a moment and said: "According to what you said, the third elder brother once appeared in the backyard, but he did not admit it and did hide the clothes..." When she said this, her eyelids were fierce
He jumped and said: "Do you suspect that Third Brother is related to the death of Imperial Concubine Yi Min?"
Yongxun nodded with a complicated look, "In addition, Erchen also discovered something. Third brother... has an injury on his wrist."
As soon as these words came out, Xianyue's expression suddenly changed. She stared at Yongxun closely and said in a trembling voice: "Injury? What kind of injury is it?"
"Because it was wrapped with gauze, Erchen didn't know. When I asked him, he only said it was a minor injury and it would be fine in a few days." After saying that, Yongxun gritted his teeth and said, "Erchen knows that such an idea is very harmful.
It’s ridiculous, but the third brother is obviously hiding something from us, and it’s very possible... that he is the real culprit we are looking for!"
Jin Ping said excitedly: "If the noble concubine is really killed by the third elder brother, he is simply worse than a beast. I don't want to think about who took care of him after Jin was deposed and relegated to the cold palace."
After Yongzhang was sent to his elder brother's home, Xianyue and Huang took great care of him because they felt sorry for him. They often sent him things and told the people in his elder brother's home not to treat Yongzhang poorly.
