Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

The emperor's gaze made Su Jiajia feel uncomfortable all over. She was about to speak when the emperor suddenly interrupted her. ☆

"Suning," the emperor's voice was full of majesty,☆

He turned to look at Su Ning who was standing beside him, "Tell me in detail, did this little eunuch commit suicide?☆

Come, bring the body of the young eunuch to me. "☆

Following the emperor's order, a body was carried in from outside the palace. Su Qianqian went forward to check, and Gu Yuan and Gu Peng also went forward to take a look. ☆

Then the emperor continued: "This is a suicide note. Show it to Suning."☆

Eunuch Li beside the emperor picked up the suicide note and handed it to Su Ning. ☆

Suning took the suicide note, checked the eunuch's body again, and then smiled slightly. ☆

She walked forward slowly, her voice clear and firm: ☆

"Your Majesty, I believe that this young eunuch did not commit suicide for the following reasons.

First, about the suicide note. Although there was a suicide note left at the scene,☆

But I think this suicide note was probably written under duress, or it was a forgery. ☆

In the last moments of life, the handwriting in the suicide note often reveals weakness or confusion.

However, this suicide note seems too neat and lacks true emotion. ”☆

She paused for a moment and continued:

"Secondly, there are many doubts regarding the manner of death.☆

People who hang themselves to death will experience extreme pain and struggle before they die, which usually leaves obvious marks on their bodies.

Such as the marks of strangulation on the neck, the wounds on the limbs from struggling, etc. However, according to the observation of the servant, the remains of this young eunuch did not show these characteristics. ☆

On the contrary, his death seemed too peaceful, which was very inconsistent with the common situation of death by hanging. ”☆

Suning's analysis is detailed and powerful, and every sentence goes straight to the core of the problem. ☆

Su Jiajia was slightly stunned after hearing Su Ning's reasoning, and her heartbeat quickened. ☆

Every word from Suning was like a bombshell, making this seemingly simple case even more confusing. ☆

Just as she was trying to digest this information, Suning pointed out another key clue. ☆

"And,"☆

Suning squatted down and gently lifted the edge of the little eunuch's shoes.☆

"I found that there are many flower petals under the shoes of this little eunuch. We can check the source of these flowers."☆

Su Jiajia stood in front of Suning, feeling an unprecedented panic in her heart. ☆

She originally thought that the lie she had carefully woven was flawless enough to deceive anyone,☆

However, under the gaze of Su Ning's sharp eagle eyes, Su Jiajia felt that all her disguises were easily exposed like thin paper. ☆

In this tense and awkward atmosphere, Gu Yuan suddenly tilted his head towards Su Qianqian and whispered:☆

"Why not just let Shangguan Fei come and testify against Su Jiajia?"☆

Su Qianqian heard this and she responded softly:☆

"Only by casting a long line can you catch a big fish."☆

Her tone revealed a thoughtful calmness, as if everything was under her control. ☆

Su Jiajia was in a state of confusion at the moment. She originally thought that by killing the little eunuch, she could get rid of all the threats.☆

But she didn't expect that there was an even bigger crisis waiting for her. ☆

She couldn't help but begin to doubt whether she could really escape this carefully woven web. ☆

"Su Jiajia, do you have anything else to add?" The emperor asked, his voice cold and majestic.

Su Jiajia couldn't help but shudder. ☆

Su Jiajia gritted her teeth. She knew she was in a desperate situation, but she still wanted to give it her all:☆

"I...I..." She hesitated but couldn't utter a complete sentence. ☆

Lady Yaopin walked lightly and slowly came to the main hall. ☆

She glanced at the solemn atmosphere around her and looked at Su Jiajia deeply.☆

A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes, and then the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing an unfathomable smile. ☆

She was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, and every step she took seemed so graceful and calm. ☆

"Your Majesty," Concubine Yao spoke softly.

Breaking the silence in the hall,☆

"What's going on? This solemn atmosphere, is it because of the incident with the little eunuch today?"☆

The emperor raised his head, his heavy eyes fell on Concubine Yao,☆

"Yaopin, you came just in time. This matter is indeed strange, said the Su family maid.☆

This little eunuch probably didn't commit suicide. I also think this little eunuch should die.☆

There must be something fishy going on. It must be related to the fire in the Sutra Library."☆

Upon hearing this, Lady Yaopin smiled and said:

"Oh? Miss Su said that the eunuch didn't commit suicide.☆

Even if he didn't commit suicide, then maybe he was killed by some palace maid or eunuch. ☆

In this palace, there were some conflicts between the palace maids and eunuchs. They held grudges and then killed each other.☆

It’s not unusual. As for the petals…”☆

As she spoke, she walked to the center of the hall, looked down at the scattered petals, and continued:☆

"Your Majesty, isn't this the peach tree we just planted yesterday in our back garden?☆

There is nothing strange about the petals appearing here. This little eunuch is from the palace.☆

Is it any wonder that he might have been in the back garden?

Concubine Yao's words were gentle and firm, like a spring breeze that gently blew away the doubts in the emperor's heart. ☆

The calmness and composure revealed in her words made the emperor start to re-examine the whole incident. ☆

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly.

"What Concubine Yao said does make some sense. People in this palace are complicated. Maybe the truth is not what it seems."☆

"Empress Yao is indeed very smart. Just as you said,☆

The appearance of these petals,☆

Maybe it was the little eunuch who passed by and got it on him."☆

The palace maid Qiao'er beside her couldn't help but echo her words, her words full of respect for Concubine Yao. ☆

After hearing this, the emperor's doubts were dispelled a little, and he sighed:☆

"Princess Yao, you always look at problems from a unique perspective.☆

Let me feel relieved. ☆

In this palace, people's hearts are indeed hard to predict, and many things are not as simple as they seem. "☆

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Concubine Yao bowed her head slightly.

With a humble smile on his face,☆

"I am only doing my duty to help His Majesty.☆

Since the emperor has decided to investigate this matter in depth, I will give you my full support. "☆

The emperor leaned back on the dragon throne with a weary look on his face, a hint of displeasure faintly visible between his brows. ☆

He waved his hand, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty:☆

"Okay, I'm tired, you all should leave."☆

Upon hearing this, Gu Peng, Gu Yuan, Su Ning and Su Jiajia immediately thanked him respectfully and left in a hurry. ☆

Their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the deep palace corridor. ☆

However, Concubine Yao did not leave immediately. ☆

She turned around slowly, her eyes fixed on Su Jiajia's back, her eyes so deep that they were almost sick. ☆

"Su Jiajia, you are such a stupid woman," Yaopin screamed crazily in her heart.

"Do you want me to clean up your mess?"☆

Yaopin's fingertips trembled slightly, and she almost couldn't help but rush forward and slap the stupid woman a few times. ☆

But reason pulled her back at the last moment, so Concubine Yao suppressed her anger and madness.☆

Slowly turned and left. ☆

Her back looked even more eerie and spooky under the dim palace lanterns. ☆
