"I am afraid that at this time, the emperor is still protecting Mu Ci. Now it depends on whether the emperor will pursue it to the end. If the emperor cares about Qiu, he will definitely investigate this case thoroughly. By then, Mu Ci will not be able to escape.
Tribulation." A malicious edge flashed in An Rong's eyes.
It's a pity that she couldn't see Dugu Liancheng's expression. The next show will definitely be exciting.
Early the next morning, Dugu Liancheng issued an oral order, saying that the assassination case of Miss Qiu would be thoroughly investigated. This case was handed over to the torturer, Miss Qiu, for trial, and several pieces of evidence were also in Miss Qiu's hands.
Interestingly, it was also on this day that Miss Qiu lived in Fuxian Pavilion and had her own residence. Fuxian Pavilion is very close to Yanfu Palace, less than a quarter of an hour's walk away.
After An Rong received the news, she was gnawed away by jealousy beyond recognition.
But she could still laugh because she was sure Mu Ci was going to be in trouble.
The next day when the concubines went to Yong'an Palace to pay their respects to Mu Ci, Qiu Lan also arrived.
This time Qiu Lan was not masked. She appeared in front of everyone with her face bare and a cold look on her face. In front of the concubines in the harem, her aura was still very strong.
Qiu Lan ignored the other concubines in the harem and went directly to Mu Ci to say hello: "Daughters of the people come to see the Queen, and I respectfully wish the Queen to be safe!"
Although her palace rules may not be that good, her attitude is remarkable.
So Mu Ci's first impression of Qiu Lan was pretty good.
"Excuse me. I wonder why Miss Qiu came to Yong'an Palace so early in the morning?" Mu Ci had actually guessed Qiu Lan's origin, but he still had to ask as usual.
"A civilian girl was assassinated outside the palace yesterday, and several evidences were left at the scene of the fight. According to preliminary inspection results, these exhibits are the property of the concubines in the harem. The emperor also issued an oral order. This civilian girl
He is the owner of the suffering, so I asked the daughter of the people to investigate the matter thoroughly, and also asked the Queen to find a convenience so that the daughter of the people can seek justice for herself." Qiu Lan said, neither humble nor arrogant.
Mu Ci smiled slightly: "Since it is the emperor's wish, then this case will naturally be thoroughly investigated by Miss Qiu, and I will not comment. It happens that there are many people at this time, if you have anything you want to ask, feel free to ask."
She said and asked Qiu Lan to take a seat.
Qiu Lan did not show any pretentiousness. After she took her seat, she showed off the two exhibits in her hand. The first exhibit was a poorly embroidered sachet.
An Rong took a look at it from a distance, but she couldn't see clearly, but judging from the rough shape, it should be the sachet that was thrown away by Yingchun.
Seeing this sachet made her feel at ease.
"This sachet looks a bit familiar." Qi Luo looked at it from a distance and suddenly raised his voice: "Can you bring it over to me for a look?"
Why does she look like the spring sachet?
This is what Yuzhi wants to say.
Yun'er had greeted her before and asked her to identify the sachet as one for welcoming the spring, and said it was the intention of Concubine An.
She was a little unhappy when she saw Qi Luo jumping out to interfere, so she took the lead and said: "This sachet does look familiar. If I remember correctly, this is the sachet of welcoming the spring, right? It's strange, how could the sachet of welcoming the spring be like this?"
In the hands of Miss Qiu?"
Before that, she didn't understand what Concubine An wanted to do.
Now she suddenly understood that An Rong wanted Mu Ci and Qiu Lan to kill each other. When it came to being vicious and sinister, no one in the harem could compare to An Rong.
This kind of plan to kill two birds with one stone is exactly what she likes.
"As soon as Yu Jieyu said this, I remembered it. Yingchun does have a sachet like this. Could it be that it belongs to Yingchun?" Qi Luo said, his eyes fixed on Yingchun's face.
Yingchun stood beside Mu Ci and waited on her. She couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this.
These women are really bad, thinking of ways to harm the empress. Fortunately she was not confused that day, otherwise she would have harmed the empress today.
She pretended not to know what Qi Luo and Yuzhi were talking about, and still stood beside Mu Ci politely.
The show hasn't officially started yet, so she's not in a hurry.
"Yingchun, please tell me, is this your sachet? Yes, isn't your sachet a gift from the Queen? How did it end up in Miss Qiu's hands?"
Qi Luo said, and deliberately asked Qiu Lan: "Where did Miss Qiu get this sachet?"
Qiu Lan replied quietly: "I was assassinated after leaving the palace. The murderer came menacingly and wanted to take my life. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape. After the murderer left, this sachet was left at the scene.
It's a piece of physical evidence accidentally left behind by the killer. This time I'm here to investigate the matter thoroughly, and it's one of the pieces of evidence in my hand."
Qi Luo became even more interested when he heard this: "Yingchun, you actually stood up and said, how did your personal belongings end up at the scene of the murder? If Miss Qiu hadn't been so lucky, I'm afraid she would have been plotted by you at this moment. You
Let’s talk about who is behind it and instigating things that are harmful to nature.”
This time, the evidence was conclusive, and she wanted to see how Mu Ci could escape unscathed.
Yingchun still didn't answer, and stood quietly beside Mu Ci to serve.
Seeing her calm look, Yuzhi became angry and frowned: "Do you think you can escape without speaking? How could you, a little minion, attack the emperor's distinguished guests? It must be you.
Someone is instigating you behind your back, so you dare to do such a sinful thing!"
"That's right! Yingchun, don't be so stupid. Tell the mastermind behind this, so that you can avoid death!" Qi Luo also agreed.
When Yingchun saw how eager Qi Luo was to get her to confess, she just thought it was ridiculous.
How much do these people hate the empress? As soon as they catch the slightest clue, they can't wait to convict the empress.
"What did Concubine Ming say? I can't understand a word of this." Yingchun looked at Qi Luo with confusion and asked.
"Your sachet was left at the crime scene, and someone wanted to harm Miss Qiu at that time. Miss Qiu is the victim, and now she comes to collect debts. What's the use of pretending to be stupid?" Qi Luo smiled coldly.
Yingchun, this idiot, is still defending Mu Ci at this time. Unfortunately, the evidence of the crime is solid, and Mu Ci can't escape this time.
I really didn't expect that Mu Ci would be so jealous. As the mother of a country, she had no tolerance for others and went to harm Qiu Lan.
If it weren't for Qiu Lan's fate, he would have become a dead soul under Mu Ci's sword.
"Isn't Concubine Ming suffering from delusion?" Yingchun sneered softly, then stood beside Mu Ci and stopped talking.
Seeing Yingchun like this, Yuzhi thought that Yingchun had a guilty conscience. She couldn't wait to agree with Qi Luo: "Ming Fei is right, since the evidence of the crime is solid, it is useless for you to pretend to be innocent, Yingchun."
"I would like to ask Master Jade and Concubine Ming, why do you always want to blame me? Is it possible that you two masters fabricated some evidence because you wanted to harm the Queen?" Yingchun replied sarcastically.
These people's intention to harm the empress is just not written on their faces.
