Concubine Zhuang was taken down and locked up, but things seemed to be even more confusing.

At present, all the evidence seems to point to Concubine Zhuang, but Wei Yunqing has a preference for Concubine Zhuang, and she doesn't want to believe it from the bottom of her heart, so she decides to intervene herself to try to find out the truth.

And the first thing she wanted to investigate was Snow Lotus's corpse. There is a saying in forensic science: Where there is contact, there must be traces. Under the modern high-tech detection methods, the perpetrators have almost nothing to hide, and in this era, the lack of technology, whether or not to find the key evidence, can only be lucky.

It has been five days since Xuelian's body was found, and it has not been buried, but fortunately, it is not too hot today, and it is frozen, and the decomposition is limited. Cao Jun has been investigating, and borrowed a piece from the Criminal Department, who said that Snow Lotus was suffocated to death, and it should have been hanged to death. Wei Yunqing didn't feel at ease and went to look again, but he didn't find any evidence of his killing, so he had to give up.

According to the confession of the last palace maid who had seen Snow Lotus, she had seen Snow Lotus at dinner and had never seen her since. Xue Lian lives in a room by herself, and her popularity is good on weekdays, but she has a better relationship with friends who entered the palace at the same time.

Wei Yunqing asked Yuxiang, four or five of them were friends on weekdays, wrote down the names of the other people, called them over separately, and asked them one by one.

These people either have an alibi, or there is nothing wrong with their demeanor, so that people can't find faults, until someone inadvertently said something that made Wei Yunqing vigilant - Xu Zhaoyi, who lived in the main hall of Yonghe Palace, followed Yuxiang and several others to enter the palace in the same year, but Xu Zhaoyi was named the emperor's woman, and they were still palace maids.

Wei Yunqing asked a few more questions in his heart, and soon learned that when he first entered the palace, Xu Zhaoyi had a good relationship with several people, and Xuelian had a particularly good relationship with her, but after Xu Zhaoyi was sealed, the two no longer seemed to have contact.

Xu Zhaoyi is a person, Wei Yunqing is not impressed by her. She still remembered that the winter solstice was approaching last year, and Liu Xuanzhi from Yonghe Palace came to her to fight for Xu Zhaoyi, and at that time she didn't know what role Xu Zhaoyi played in it, and she didn't care. Later, she dragged the harem women to do politics together, and she mostly dealt with Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Xu Guifei, Xu Zhaoyi seemed to be drowned in the crowd, quiet and quiet, with a low sense of existence. Up to now, in Wei Yunqing's heart, Xu Zhaoyi is still a relatively vague name, with a weak appearance and a fresh and refined temperament, but she is like a paper person, so she has no real feeling.

Since Xuelian has a close relationship with Xu Zhaoyi, Wei Yunqing felt that it was necessary for him to meet Xu Zhaoyi for a while. It's just that she was a little worried that she would startle the snake, so after thinking for a while, she asked Lantian to invite Cao Jun over and whispered to him. Cao Jun said yes again and again, and left without much delay.

Half a day later, Cao Jun came to report with a happy face: "Niangniang, I found it." The waiter in Concubine Zhuang's palace is called Xu De, a person from Beijing, and the slave maid went on a business trip outside the palace, and his parents and brothers were there, but according to their neighbors, they moved away a day ago, and I don't know why. ”

"Moved?" Wei Yunqing raised his eyebrows.

Cao Jun said with a smile: "The slave saw that something was wrong, so she checked deeply, and guess what?" Xu De's family moved, they were arrested! The slave and maid were kind enough to save the man. ”

Wei Yunqing's heart was relieved, and it seemed that the broken clues were connected again!

Xu De claimed to be chased and killed by Concubine Zhuang and stood up to identify Concubine Zhuang, and everyone's attention fell on Concubine Zhuang, but they forgot about Xu De. But Wei Yunqing felt in his heart that Concubine Zhuang would not do that kind of thing, so the attention would naturally be on Xu De, and it would be natural to investigate Xu De. Now the results found out are also in line with Wei Yunqing's speculation, Xu De framed Concubine Zhuang because her family was threatened!

"Then have you told the emperor about this?" Wei Yunqing said.

Cao Jun said: "The slave maid has come to repay you when she gets the news, and I haven't had time to tell the emperor yet!" ”

Wei Yunqing got up: "Then let's go over together and tell Xu De the good news by the way." ”

"Okay!" Cao Jun nodded hurriedly.

Wei Yunqing and his entourage came to the Qianqing Palace, and Xu De is currently locked up here - Yang Yi was afraid that he would be exterminated, so he put people under his nose, and someone watched him around the clock, lest he commit suicide.

Seeing Wei Yunqing coming violently, Yang Yi hurriedly asked what was the matter, and when he learned that she wanted to see Xu De, he immediately asked someone to bring Xu De out.

Xu De didn't seem to have slept well in the past few days, and when he saw Yang Yi and Wei Yunqing, he just knelt down and said in a loud voice: "The villain deserves death, please ask the emperor and the queen to kill the villain!" ”

"Your family is safe for now." Wei Yunqing got straight to the point.

Xu De was stunned.

Cao Jun immediately said: "Is your nephew nicknamed Bao?" He's still waiting for your uncle to go back and bring him osmanthus candy to eat. ”

Cao Jun's words finally brought Xu De back to his senses, his eyes gradually turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law Cao, are the villain's parents and brother's family okay?" ”

"Well, now they are in a safe place, eating, drinking, and playing!" Cao Jundao.

Xu De's heart suddenly relaxed, and the brows that had been tightly locked for days suddenly relaxed.

Wei Yunqing and the others didn't immediately urge him to say anything, Yang Yi didn't know the truth, and looked at Wei Yunqing, who nodded at him and motioned to listen for a while.

Yang Yi understood, and no longer asked immediately.

When Xu De's excited emotions almost calmed down, Wei Yunqing said, "Who arrested your family?" ”

Xu De hesitated slightly, but thinking that his family was already safe, he couldn't hide anything, and said excitedly: "Hui Niangniang, the person who arrested my family is Xu Zhaoyi!" It was also she who asked me to find Qian Lang, instructed him to frame Niangniang, and blamed Concubine Zhuang for everything after the defeat! ”

This Xu De can explain things clearly in three or two sentences, and he can be regarded as a talent, otherwise Xu Zhaoyi is afraid that he will not hand over these things to him.

"How did Snow Lotus die?" Wei Yunqing asked again.

Xu Dedao: "She...... It was self-inflicted. ”

"Why?"

Xu Dedao: "Back to Niangniang, in fact, the villain and Xuelian, Xu Zhaoyi both entered the palace in the same year, at that time Xuelian made a mistake and was almost killed, it was Xu Zhaoyi who saved her, from then on, Xuelian said that Xu Zhaoyi was her life-saving benefactor, and it didn't matter if her life was given to Xu Zhaoyi." Therefore, when he learned that Qian Lang was defeated, the villain ...... was ordered by Xu Zhaoyi to inform Xue Lian, Xue Lian said to reassure Xu Zhaoyi, and later the villain learned of her death and understood that she committed suicide. ”

"Then at the beginning, you also volunteered to help Xu Zhaoyi?" Wei Yunqing said. She remembered that Cao Jun said that Xu De's family was only taken away two days ago, but the matter of Qian Lang had already happened.

Xu De hesitated for a moment, knelt down and said loudly: "Please forgive me!" The villain, Xuelian, and Xu Zhaoyi entered the palace in the same year, and they have experienced too much together, Xu Zhaoyi came to beg the villain, and the villain couldn't help her...... It's just that later she actually threatened the villain with the villain's family...... It's the villain who has been mistaking her, and almost made a big mistake, I implore the emperor and the mother to punish the villain, don't affect the villain's family! ”

All this is clear.

Xu Zhaoyi first learned about the "red birthmark" on Wei Yunqing's left shoulder that leaked from Yuxiang's mouth from Xuelian, and then asked Xu De to go to Qian Lang outside the palace to plan this conspiracy. Later, Qian Lang was defeated, Xu Zhaoyi was worried that Xuelian would be discovered, so she took the first step and asked Xu De to inform Xuelian, although she did not do it herself, she forced Xuelian to commit suicide. Later, she asked Xu De to blame Concubine Zhuang, and was even afraid that Xu De would be disobedient, and used Xu De's family to let him die voluntarily - as the actual executor of this conspiracy, although Xu De is a "tainted witness", he is afraid that he will definitely die.

I don't know if Xu De became a person in Concubine Zhuang's palace by coincidence or Xu Zhaoyi's intentional arrangement? If it is the latter, this Xu Zhaoyi is really terrible, playing with people's hearts and applauding, and killing people invisibly. However, Xu Zhaoyi still missed a little after all, she shouldn't have used Xu De's family to blackmail him, otherwise Wei Yunqing would not have found a clue, let alone use this to make Xu De turn against him. Perhaps in Xu Zhaoyi's view, there is no absolute trust between people, and if she doesn't leave some handles, she will feel uneasy.

"It's actually Xu Zhaoyi!" Yang Yi seemed to be a little incredulous, and after a while, he said in a loud voice, "Come on, bring Xu Zhaoyi over to me!" ”

His voice trembled faintly, it was angry. If the murderer behind the scenes was Concubine Zhuang, he was just framing Wei Yunqing, but if it was Xu Zhaoyi, he fooled everyone in. If you're not careful, everyone will be toyed with by her and applauded.

Xu Zhaoyi was quickly brought over, and the person who wanted to bring her was not polite, her clothes were a little messy, and her face was pitiful.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing with your concubine?" As soon as Xu Zhaoyi came in, she looked at Yang Yi without squinting, and didn't seem to notice anything wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.

Yang Yi said angrily: "You still have the face to ask me?!" What you did, Xu De has been recruited! ”

"What did the concubine do?" Xu Zhaoyi's face was puzzled, "Please also ask the emperor to show me." ”

"You not only want to frame the queen, but also Concubine Zhuang, Xu De has said these things, what else do you have to quibble?" Yang Yi said angrily.

Xu Zhaoyi knelt on the ground and looked up at Yang Yi with aggrieved tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged." Isn't Xu De from Concubine Zhuang's palace? How can you believe what he says? Concubine Zhuang and the concubine have always been on good terms, and if she wants to frame the concubine, the concubine will not be surprised. The concubine has always admired the queen, how could she do such a hurtful thing? Please ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly and give the concubine a fair remark, otherwise the concubine will have to die! ”

Xu Zhaoyi's face was full of grievances, and her voice was clear and powerful, as if she was a person who was wronged and was struggling with her pathetic fate.

Yang Yi's face stiffened, his brows tightened, just now Xu De said that the main messenger behind the scenes was Xu Zhaoyi, he believed it, and was waiting to find someone to ask for the guilt, but he didn't expect Xu Zhaoyi to shout out injustice, without a little weak-heartedness. He didn't know what to do for a moment. Who is true and who is false?

When Yang Yi was silent, Xu Zhaoyi suddenly stood up and slammed into the pillar! 166 Reading Network
