But King Jin is really an infatuated lover, and he is very good to the princess Niannu, which makes the women in the capital very envious, and they all speak sour behind their backs, and the life of the two is also passable.

Niannu is sweetly attached to the king of the county. The two snuggled up and walked back to the palace.

Who would have thought that this was the last time that the prostitute-turned-Nian slave would shine.

The next day, Nian Nu was found dead in her own bed, her appearance was still so delicate, her long hair was pleasing to her, but her face was pale, the corners of her rouge mouth seemed to have a smile, and she was holding a hairpin tightly in her hand, and the top of the hairpin was engraved with plum blossoms.

The plum blossom hairpin is the one that Nian Nu often pulls his hair, and now, this hairpin is also stained with a little blood, which looks a little shocking.

Others wanted to move her arms, but they saw that her arms were like withered puppets, her long hair was scattered, her head was drooping, she looked unusually unwilling, her eyes were still open, and her eyes were bright and shining.

When King Jin saw this, he immediately hugged the corpse and cried.

She ran to the empress Bai Huan and went to cry out for injustice.

He cried hoarsely, even his speech was hoarse, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be bloodshot inside, his eyes were dull, as if there was nothing in it, as soon as he saw Bai Huan, he knelt on the ground and cried: "Although Nian Nu was born in a Qinglou, she is innocent if she doesn't sell her body, she is an honorable princess." Who the hell is it who can't get used to her and wants to kill her so viciously! ”

Bai Huan looked at King Jin, who was almost unable to cry on the ground, and he was also very unbearable.

King Jin is also her courtier, and he has done a lot for her with trepidation over the years.

"Alright." She reassured him, "Don't worry, Gu won't let your princess die in vain." ”

King Jin nodded tearfully.

"The empress is merciful, as long as you can find out who the real culprit is, you can be blind when Nian Nu is dead."

Meng Li's criminal department immediately set about this matter, visited the family, and saw if anything was seen that night.

The people who were waiting nearby were all called, but after asking around, very few people could know.

"Last night, I heard broken pieces of porcelain falling, and when I saw it this morning, the tiles on the ground were broken. ”

Now the tiles are scattered all over the ground, and they have not yet been cleaned up.

Person B said, "The flowers have been trampled on, but no one is bold enough to step on the flowers in the princess's yard." ”

The officials of the Criminal Department walked over and took a look, and sure enough, it was a mess.

The princess's body was still in its place, her eyes were tightly closed, there was a huge knife on her chest, and the room was filled with a strong smell of blood, obviously the murderer was very experienced in doing this, and it was a fatal knife.

Several people walked up, the princess's personal maid was also there, crying profusely after convulsions, and an official of the criminal department noticed that there seemed to be some residual powder on the dresser, and the powder had a faint fragrance, but it was unforgettable, and the incense box fell to the ground.

The personal maid said: "This is a very precious coupling incense, the prince specially brought it from a foreign land for the princess, the princess cherishes it very much, this must be hit by a thief, and the princess will not place this lotus incense indiscriminately." ”

The officials of the Criminal Department looked at the box of lotus lotus incense scattered on the ground and fell into deep thought.

This box of lotus root incense may be a breakthrough point.

But Meng Li's capital city is so big, where did he go to find such a person with the smell of lotus root incense

The officials of the Criminal Department thought about it, and the flowers planted outside were also very valuable, but they didn't know what kind of variety they were.

The officials of the Criminal Department asked the florist, only to find out that it was a chrysanthemum from Nanyang, the princess's beloved thing.

Now, it's undermined.

And it looks like the man may have juice on his body.

The officials of the Criminal Department looked at the chrysanthemums and fell into deep thought.

The gardener in charge of caring for these chrysanthemums added: "Once the juice of this chrysanthemum is stained, it is difficult to wash it off. ”

The official of the Criminal Department suddenly smiled: "I understand. ”

After a while, the empress ordered someone to issue a notice, only saying that she would gather the masters of the rivers and lakes to serve, and for a time there were many applicants.

The palace is responsible for screening, but the screening characteristics are not based on the level of martial arts, but according to whether there is a purple color that cannot be washed off on the body, as well as the fine fragrance of the lotus, of course, there are a few real martial arts masters.

A muscular man with a figure-eight mustache was left behind.

He was ushered into a room and waited for the Empress to receive him, but as soon as he entered the small sealed room, he was surrounded by many soldiers.

The man looked a little frightened and stepped back, "Why did you arrest me?"

Seeing that his plan had worked, the officials of the Criminal Department said triumphantly: "You have this smell of lotus root incense!" I checked it just now, you still have purple on your hands, this purple is difficult to wash with water, you are the murderer of Princess Jin, say, by whom! ”

After hearing this, there was a little panic on the man's face.

He knew that he was exposed, and that the army outside surrounded him, and he could not hold back the panic in his heart, but he could not stop trembling.

He was terrified and said, "I tell you who hired me, and whether you will take my life."

The official of the Criminal Department said: "The empress has her own decision, but she is lenient in her confession and strict in her resistance, but you should tell me who instructed you."

The bearded man said, "It's Miss Li Qinglian of the Li family." ”

"!" The officials of the Criminal Department felt ridiculous, "Just because Princess Jin won her, then Miss Li deliberately retaliated and committed murder."

The bearded man said, "If the adults don't believe it, the little ones can't help it." ”

With a wave of his hand, the official of the Criminal Department ordered to be taken away.

You don't need to worry about the next thing, and there will naturally be someone who will help you pry your mouth.

Unexpectedly, no matter how the officials tortured him, it was Li Qinglian who bit him to death.

Of course, Li Qinglian refused to admit it, and shouted again and again that he was wronged.

Bai Huan also felt strange, although it was not a way to make a move, but now it seems that there is only this, and besides, the confession should not be bitten to death, it is very likely to be true.

Li Qinglian knelt on the ground and cried pitifully, "Although the folk girl is not sensible, she also knows that human life is at stake, just because of the name of the first beauty in the capital, will I kill her?"

Bai Huan hesitated.

Li Qinglian cried and begged: "Empress, but just because of one mouth, can anyone come to infinitely me?"

Li Qinglian was reasonable, but the man would not change his confession no matter what, unless that person had some enmity with her, and he came to infinite her.

Thinking about it, a trace of sadness appeared on Bai Huan's face.

Who the hell is it?

Li Qinglian knelt down desperately and begged: "Empress, if the people's daughter didn't do it, she didn't do it, unless that person is willing to come up with evidence, the people's daughter won't admit it anyway." ”

Bai Huan said: "Do you know that person?"

That mustache has been beaten to a bloody blur, and it is a nightmare for a pampered eldest lady like Li Qinglian, her eyes are closed, and she shook her head, "I don't know, empress, who is that person, the folk girl has never seen it at all." ”

At this moment, Bai Huan has no choice.

It seems to have reached a stalemate all of a sudden.

But so far, it seems that all the clues point to Li Qinglian.

Although the confession could not be taken completely seriously, Bai Huan still put Li Qinglian under house arrest.

A few days later, a new confession came from the bearded man, saying that he had Li Qinglian's personal belongings in his home.

Bai Huan immediately sent someone to search, and it turned out that there was a very valuable jade pendant, purple, and the carving was very fine, ordinary people couldn't afford to use it at all, according to the personal maid, this was indeed Miss Li's thing.

At this time, Li Qingpian was speechless.

She was thrown into prison.

She is a pampered eldest lady, how can she endure such hardship, but for two or three days, she cries and wants to find death and life.

This case seems to be closed, and it can be regarded as justice for a princess from a Qinglou, but Bai Huan thought about it carefully, and always felt that there was something strange.

What's wrong?

Bai Huan couldn't say it now.

But with the fact that she has been an emperor for so many years, she always feels that this matter is suspected of being covered up.

She ordered the guards around her to investigate: "Look at what this princess is all about." What is the origin of Li Qinglian. ”

The guards went, but one day they came back with the news, "This princess is not a local, but a native of a small country on the sea, and because of the changes in her family, she was forced to come here by boat to seek a way out." ”

Is this a clue?

Bai Huan frowned slightly.

"That's all"

"That's all."

The guard said respectfully.

Bai Huan's slender fingers were like crystal white jade in the light, and she slowly flipped through the bamboo slips left over from ancient times, as if she was thinking about something terrible.

"What else does the Empress command?" said the guard respectfully.

"Put that Li Qinglian home under house arrest, you don't have to stay in prison, after all, she is also a daughter, so you don't have to suffer this hardship."

Bai Huan said.

"Yes."

The subordinates were immediately instructed to do it.

It seems unfair to deal with it like this, but Bai Huan always has a feeling that Li Qinglian is just covering up this matter.

But the identity of Princess Jin is all that can be found out at present.

Li Qinglian stayed in his home every day, and he also washed his face with tears, and he was not happy at all.

Unexpectedly, he was accused of being a murderer all of a sudden.

Now, she is being pointed at by the whole city, a dignified lady, and now everyone shouts and beats her like a rat crossing the street, how can she stand it.

Li Qinglian cries every day, and her eyes are almost blind.

The empress sent someone to question, that Li Qinglian was very thin, and her originally gorgeous face suddenly became extremely withered, as if she had aged ten years all of a sudden, her facial features were wrinkled, and her body bones were thin, as if she was about to fall when the wind blew.

Shrunken and shivered along the way.

The official looked at her with pity and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, as long as you answer honestly, you will be fine." ”

Li Qinglian nodded, but her body was still trembling.

"Do you have a disagreement with the princess of Najin?"
