Chapter 540: Catch the Real Murderer
At this moment, he was a little mixed in the face of Shangguan Yue, this woman has never been ordinary, yesterday he used Shangguan Yue to threaten Nangong Su, and today she helped herself save Linglong and the fetus in her womb.
"Yes, the concubine will be arranged," Empress Gongsun replied, looking at Shangguan Yue's eyes with an unclear meaning, the current Shangguan Yue seemed to her to be different from the woman in her impression.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers still have one more thing to tell you." Shangguan Yue was about to kneel, everything in the room just now, she was a little puzzled, and she had to say this at this moment.
"You can just stand and say, you don't have to salute." Emperor Jianqing hurriedly commanded, his tone full of concern.
Then Shangguan Yue did not shirk it, turned around and motioned for Chunsheng to carry out the body in the house, and after a while, Chunsheng and the maids in the room carried out the body of the midwife.
The maids put the body of their mother-in-law at the door, and everyone looked at the motionless person on the ground, and their faces instantly became solemn.
"This is ......" Emperor Jianqing looked at the people on the ground, and couldn't help but be a little shocked, this midwife was personally selected by him and Empress Gongsun, just to deliver the baby to Linglong, why is there no life now?
"Your Majesty, when the courtiers entered the delivery room, the smell of safflower in the room came to the nostrils, this mother-in-law was delivered for her stepmother, as an experienced midwife, it is impossible not to know that safflower is harmful to pregnant women, and it will even affect dystocia if it is serious." Shangguan Yue said calmly, and there was no emotion in her eyes.
The people present listened to Shangguan Yue's words and instantly understood that this meant that this midwife was sent by someone else to murder the eldest princess.
"Just now, after Xiao Shizi was born safely, this midwife hit the pillar by herself," Shangguan Yue continued, as shrewd as she was, she naturally knew that everyone understood this.
This midwife was sent by someone to murder the eldest princess Linglong and the child in her womb, and since the child was born safely, she couldn't live.
"How can it be!" Emperor Jianqing gritted his teeth and said, looking at the midwife's eyes full of hatred, and the next second, self-blame and guilt suddenly appeared in his eyes, "It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of it, I almost killed Linglong." ”
"This matter has nothing to do with the emperor!" Shangguan Yue spoke firmly, her eyes were full of confidence, as if she was so unhurried in front of this high emperor.
Emperor Jianqing looked at Shangguan Yue's determined eyes, as shrewd as he was, he naturally knew what Shangguan Yue meant.
Then Shangguan Yue spoke unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, the courtiers feel that someone wants to use this midwife to murder her stepmother and the little son, maybe ......."
Shangguan Yue's meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was obvious that someone wanted to use the midwife to murder Linglong, the purpose was for the child in her womb.
"Did you find out? Who was the man who murdered Linglong? Emperor Jianqing said word by word, and the anger in his tone seemed to tear people apart.
Shangguan Yue didn't answer, but her eyes swept sharply over the many aunts and maids standing outside the door.
Under Shangguan Yue's glance, everyone's eyes unconsciously moved to Shen Lianyi.
Shangguan Yue quickly looked away, she knew that even if she was now sure that it was Shen Lianyi's ghost, but at this moment, the person was dead, and she didn't have any evidence to identify Shen Lianyi.
So for the time being, she must keep this matter in her heart, only in this way can she catch the real culprit.
"The courtiers don't know," Shangguan Yue said helplessly, her eyes full of complexity.
Now she hasn't figured out whether it is Shen Lianyi or the person behind Shen Lianyi who wants to harm her mother-in-law and child, if it is the latter, then the person behind Prime Minister Shen must not be simple.
Emperor Jianqing's eyes dimmed, Shangguan Yue was so shrewd that he didn't know who the person who wanted to harm Linglong was, as soon as he thought of this, Emperor Jianqing's expression became more and more solemn.
"Your Majesty, this corpse, please ask the emperor to send someone to clean it up." Shangguan Yue opened her mouth coldly, her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, she had already checked it in the room, and there was nothing abnormal about this corpse, so it was useless to keep it.
Originally, she also wanted to use this corpse to find out the real murderer behind it, but after thinking about it, this method could not find the murderer, so she simply let people dispose of the corpse.
Since Shen Lianyi is here, the person who wants to murder the stepmother and the child will soon know that the child and the stepmother are alive and well.
Emperor Jianqing looked at Shangguan Yue's calm appearance, and Shangguan Yue's words, it seemed that it was the first time that someone dared to order him in front of so many people, and he didn't feel the slightest annoyance when he heard this, and even felt that Shangguan Yue's words made him feel awe.
Retracting his gaze from Shangguan Yue, Emperor Jianqing looked at the corpse on the ground angrily, and then said in a cold voice, "Come on, hang the body of this sinner woman at the city gate for three days, and after three days, her bones will be crushed and ashes will be scattered!" ”
The people present couldn't help but tremble a little when they listened to Emperor Jianqing's instructions, and they disposed of a corpse so harshly, which showed how angry Emperor Jianqing was about this matter.
After settling everything, Shangguan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, it took too much of her energy to treat her stepmother, she just wanted to sleep well at this moment, and then she saluted Emperor Jianqing, and was ready to get up and leave.
Just when Shangguan Yue raised her head, her gaze met Nangong Su's, and Shangguan Yue suddenly thought that she originally wanted to go to see Nangong Su, and now she could just ask him about his situation.
Before Shangguan Yue walked over, Nangong Su suddenly retracted his gaze, and then turned to leave, Shangguan Yue looked at Nangong Su's figure leaving, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, was Nangong Su deliberately avoiding her?
In the past, Nangong Su was very enthusiastic about her, but now Nangong Su, who took the initiative to alienate her, is still the first time to see her.
Emperor Jianqing looked at Nangong Su's lonely and departing back, there was an indescribable complexity in his eyes, just before Nangong Su deliberately avoided Shangguan Yue's eyes, he saw it all.
"Yue'er, why don't you rest in the eldest princess's mansion? If you are familiar with this place, you can also take care of Linglong, which is more convenient. Empress Gongsun's tone was concerned, and her voice was full of tenderness.
"Okay," Shangguan Yue replied in a low voice, and the back of Nangong Su's lonely departure kept coming to mind, as well as Nangong Su's deliberately evasive eyes.
Shangguan Yue followed behind Empress Gongsun, passing by the familiar figure, Shangguan Yue was a little stunned, and then a sincere voice sounded in her ears.
"Don't worry." A calm voice came from under the black mask, and although it was only two short words, Shangguan Yue felt more relieved than ever.
