Chapter 216: Deliberations

The funeral eunuch saw the expression on Ruan Di's face, this was related to the cause of death of the third prince, where did he dare to hesitate, and directly instructed the other funeral eunuchs standing aside to tell the emperor.

The third prince fell off the horse in full view of everyone, and then was trampled in the face by the hooves of the queen mother's nephew, and died on the spot, in the eyes of everyone thought that the horse under the queen mother's nephew was the real murderer, of course, there were many people who guessed that the queen mother ordered her nephew to develop things into the current state, but although everyone had something in their hearts, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, after all, there was also a queen mother in the middle, who dared to say such nonsense?

Unexpectedly, there was a new development in this matter now, this Ruan Di actually found a silver needle from the body of the third prince, and as soon as this discovery was raised, it immediately set off a monstrous wave in the palace.

In the end, it was not only Ruan Di who rushed over, but even the Zongren Mansion, Dali Siqing, the supreme commander of the Criminal Department, and Qi Xiaoxian, the leader of the Qing Officials Division, were all summoned into the palace by the emperor to strictly investigate the case.

Ruan Di originally stayed in the room, and only after getting the emperor's order did he take the thin silver needle and walk towards the inner hall under the leadership of Gu Fu.

Looking at the few people standing on the side, Ruan Di glanced at it roughly, only to see that there was a murderous atmosphere in the hall, and everyone present showed a trace of doubt and solemnity on their faces.

Although the third prince is not the crown prince, he is also the son of the emperor, the son of the son of heaven, if he dies because of an accident, it can only be blamed on the bad luck at this time, but if it is not an accident, then this matter is serious, and Ruan Di's discovery directly confirms that the death of the three princes is not an accident, but a murder.

Who killed these three princes, is it really the Empress Dowager's nephews and grandchildren who have been imprisoned at this moment? Or is it someone else?

Since this real murderer was able to kill the three princes in this palace unconsciously, and gathered everyone's attention on the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, I think this person must have the ability to reach the sky.

For a while, the people in the hall frowned, I really couldn't think of anyone who would actually do something to the third prince, although the queen mother was at odds with this Zhaoshu concubine, but she wouldn't be angry with a child because of this matter, right? Besides, once this matter is found out, it will be the Queen Mother's entire maternal family that suffers, how could the Queen Mother be so stupid and directly hand over the evidence of the crime to others?

As for the queen mother, she already has the crown prince and the second prince by her side, and she is the most noble queen, why is she so cruel to a little child?

At the emperor's suggestion, Ruan Di told all his discoveries truthfully, and when the emperor heard that Ruan Di had found the silver needle, his eyes couldn't help flashing, but his face didn't show any of it, just frowned, as if he was distinguishing whether what she said was true or not.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, the ministers couldn't make up their minds, and they couldn't help but speak, and Prince Laoguo, the brother of the former emperor of the Zongren Mansion, said: "Although this silver needle was found in the remains of the three princes, but after the three princes fell from the horse that day, they were trampled on the face by the horse under the queen mother's nephew, and died of anger, so it is not known whether the silver needle entered the head of the three princes first, or the face of the three princes who stepped on the horse's hooves first......

"Why did Mrs. Qi insist that the three princes were first entered by this silver needle in the heads of the three princes, and the three princes were trampled in the face by the horse's hooves because the silver needle had died? Could it be that Mrs. Qi is deliberately confusing everyone's eyes and trying to exonerate the Wu family? ”

I had long expected that once I said it, there would definitely be people who doubted this problem, looking at the Prince Guo in front of him, although he was old, but the essence revealed in his eyes should not be underestimated, Ruan Di straightened his expression and said the results of his investigation.

"Prince Huiguo's words, the courtiers are not exonerating the Wu family, the courtiers are just saying what they have discovered."

"Oh? What did you find? Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who was standing next to him, raised his eyebrows, and a faint interest flashed in his eyes.

"Back to my lordship, the courtiers also thought about this question when they found out about this silver needle, whether this needle was pierced into the body of the third prince first or the horse's hooves stepped through the face of the third prince first, so I asked the little eunuch who was serving the third prince who was present at the time."

"Although the little eunuch was very frightened at that time, he still remembered that when the third prince fell to the ground, he didn't move when he stepped on the horse's hooves, and he didn't make a sound when he fell, isn't it a little strange?"

"What's so strange about that? What if the third prince was stupid at that time? What's so strange about that? Prince Guo's face on the side showed a trace of disdain, he didn't like the fact that Ruan Di in front of him came to the inner hall of this Jinluan Palace, after all, she was a woman, how could she easily come to this place for discussion?

Listening to Ruan Di's words, he couldn't help but think of a word in his head, a woman's opinion! But in front of Qi Xiaoxian and the emperor, he didn't dare to say this.

Ruan Di naturally saw the disdain and dissatisfaction in his eyes, and she just smiled slightly, "Of course, this possibility is not ruled out, but after all, the third prince is just a child, what is the normal reaction of a child falling off the horse?" ”

Ruan Di opened her mouth to ask, and before she could say the answer, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who was standing on the side, interjected: "If a child falls, the hostile reaction must be crying." ”

"Yes, a child's normal reaction is to cry, but no one around him heard his crying, and he didn't scream loudly and didn't cry, which can only show one thing......" Ruan Di's words were not finished when he heard the criminal department Shangshu in front of him interject again.

"Then the boy had fainted or died, at least when he fell off the horse!"

Everyone looked at the Criminal Department Shangshu who interjected every time with a speechless face, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and the Criminal Department Shangshu looked at everyone's eyes focused on himself and knew that his words were a little too much, so he couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose, and silently retreated back, but looking at Ruan Di's eyes in front of him, they were glowing, like a vicious tiger seeing food.

Ruan Di felt the gaze on his body, and couldn't help but shudder, at the same time, Shangshu of the Criminal Department only felt that a chill was hitting him, he quickly removed the gaze that fell on Ruan Di, and looked around, but found nothing, so he had to touch his nose again.

After this interruption, he didn't continue to stare at Ruan Di in front of him, but looked at the emperor sitting in front of him with a somewhat depressed face.
