"The Ai family has never come here before, Mei Jieyu, you lead the way." Mu Ci gave an order to Lu Mei.
Lu Mei responded with a smile: "How noble the Queen Mother is, she has time to come to the garden and the small seat in the pavilion today. I am very honored."
Feng Jiu took one look at Mei Jieyu, who was smiling and talking, and felt quite surprised in his heart.
His gaze was fixed on Mei Jieyu's chin. Usually when people are nervous, their jaws will tighten unconsciously. This master seems to be a little nervous.
But a guilty conscience?
When Mu Ci entered the garden, she looked around and found that the place was elegant, "You have a good layout here."
As she spoke, she looked at Feng Jiu.
When Feng Jiu saw Mu Ci looking outside, he understood immediately, took a look at the opportunity, and walked out.
He walked to the path just now, listened carefully, and found that the hearing position here was actually excellent, and he could hear the voices coming from the pavilion.
After listening for a while, he returned to Yuanhe Pavilion as if nothing had happened.
Mu Ci gained nothing from Yuanhe Pavilion, so he sat there for a while before leaving Yuanhe Pavilion.
"Slave outside, you can hear the masters talking inside. If you are willing to listen, you can hear clearly." Feng Jiu reported what he had just discovered.
"Even so, it cannot be concluded that there is a problem with Yuan Hege. Everything must be evidenced." Mu Ci said, closing his eyes to rest.
We still have to wait for Mr. Li to find out what the fragment is made of before we can take the next step. That will be the real evidence of the crime.
As soon as she returned to Yong'an Palace, Mr. Li came and couldn't hide his excitement: "Empress, I found out that this fragment is a fragment of the Silver Flower."
Mu Ci raised his eyebrows and said, "Go to the Master of Ceremonies Bureau to check if Yuan Hege has received any silver flowers."
Even if we don’t know what kind of flower shape it is, as long as Yuan Hege has records, it can almost prove that Yuan Hege is related to Zhao Di’s death.
"Yes, I will go and find out immediately." After Master Li said that, he went to do business.
About an hour later, Mr. Li returned again and brought new news: "Yuan Hege did receive a Begonia flower with silver pearls and stamens in the Master of Ceremonies Bureau."
After hearing this, Mu Ci looked at Feng Jiu, who shook his head and said, "I have never seen Master Mei wearing a flower ornament today."
"If Lu Mei discovers that the flower is damaged, I'm afraid she will destroy this ornament long ago. This will not be able to convict her. After all, there are many people in the palace who wear this ornament." Mu Ci expressed his worries.
Mr. Li also felt that based on this alone, it was difficult to determine that the murderer came from Yuan Hege.
At this point, the case seems to have reached a dead end. We can't rush to interrogate Lu Mei and get beaten.
No matter what happens, Lu Mei is now a third-grade Jieyu.
Mu Ci thought about it again and again and decided to ask Dugu Liancheng what he meant first.
When she went to Yanfu Palace, Zhao Ling happened to be there. However, she was not waiting in front of the emperor, but lying on the imperial concubine's chair to rest.
As if he had not expected Mu Ci's arrival, Zhao Ling hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Mu Ci spared her the courtesy and said softly to her: "It's important for your body to lie down properly. Your fetus is important, so you can't make any mistakes."
When Dugu Liancheng heard what she said, his eyes were fixed on her face.
"The Queen Mother cares about my imperial heir." He raised his lips sarcastically.
Didn't she ever think that one day she would be pregnant with his royal heir? Mother is as valuable as her son?
"What did the emperor say? At the moment, the emperor only has a little prince. As the queen mother, Aijia should care about the emperor's heir." She said and looked at Zhao Ling: "Zhao Jieyu, isn't what Aijia said wrong?"
Otherwise, why would Zhao Ling keep looking at her?
Zhao Ling looked at Dugu Liancheng and then at Mu Ci, "I am scared."
"Queen Mother, don't bully her." Dugu Liancheng's warm eyes were fixed on Zhao Ling's face.
Being looked at so intently by the young and handsome emperor, Zhao Ling immediately blushed.
The two of them exchanged glances, seemingly forgetting Mu Ci's existence.
Zhao Ling was the first to react. He quickly glanced at Mu Ci and said in a voice as low as a mosquito, "The Queen Mother..."
Mu Ci looked at Zhao Ling's artificial gesture, and what he felt most deeply at this moment was that Zhao Ling still regarded her as an enemy, otherwise there would be no need to stage such a drama.
Maybe Zhao Ling thought that she cared about Dugu Liancheng and thought that this would stimulate her?
"The Ai family and the emperor have something to say, so Zhao Jieyu will step aside." Mu Ci remembered that the purpose of coming here was for a case.
"There is no need for Zhao Jieyu to leave. She is not an outsider. If you have anything to do, just say it directly." Dugu Liancheng took over.
Mu Ci didn't expect that Dugu Liancheng believed in Zhao Ling so much.
If other things are okay, it is especially important that this concerns a human life.
"Zhao Jieyu should avoid it. It's a murder case and it's not good for too many people to know about it." Mu Ci still insisted on his opinion.
However, Zhao Ling also recognized the interest and said, "I'll go for a walk outside."
After Zhao Ling left, Mu Ci explained his purpose of coming, "The case of Xiu Niang has been revealed..."
"There is no need to tell me about such a trivial matter." Dugu Liancheng interrupted Mu Ci with a bad look on his face.
Mu Ci could see that he was in a bad mood, maybe because she had driven away Zhao Ling, otherwise he would have no reason to be unhappy.
"I don't think this is a trivial matter. Human life has nothing to do with dignity. Since it happened in the harem, even if Zhao Di is just an embroiderer, her life is still important. Furthermore, how do you know that her murder case is not a major matter?" Mu Ci was dissatisfied with Dugu.
Liancheng's attitude towards human life.
After a pause, she continued: "The suspects involved in Zhao Di's death are also concubines in the harem, but so far, the Ai family has no evidence!"
Dugu Liancheng's focus was not on the case. He curled his lips coldly: "Aijia?"
Did he say that you should no longer call yourself Aijia in front of him?
She reminds him all the time that she is the emperor's brother's woman, right?
"Now is not the time to talk about such trivial matters. I am here to tell you that the suspected murderer of Zhao Di is the old man from the East Palace - Mei Jieyu!" Mu Ci finished in one breath.
Both Lumei and Qingle were once close to Dugu Liancheng. Qingle was highly praised and now she has given birth to a little prince.
It was she who forced the green plum onto Dugu Liancheng, and she also knew that Dugu Liancheng despised the green plum.
Now that Lumei is involved in a murder case, she should speak to Dugu Liancheng both emotionally and rationally.
She didn't know at this time that there was someone eavesdropping outside. After hearing the key information, he quietly retreated...
As for Dugu Liancheng, he hesitated for a moment after hearing that Lu Mei was the suspect.
If Mu Zhu hadn't reminded him, he would almost have had someone like Lu Mei in his harem.
"This case is concluded." Dugu Liancheng quickly issued an order.
Mu Ci took a deep breath: "Okay, I understand."
Since this is Dugu Liancheng's intention, let's close the case here. It's just a pity that Zhaodi lost her life and died inexplicably like this.
Zhaodi must have heard something she shouldn't have heard, so she was silenced by Lu Mei.
I thought that Dugu Liancheng would continue to investigate the case thoroughly, but unexpectedly he still had some affection for Lu Mei, so the case could only be closed hastily, even though he knew that the murderer was Lu Mei.
