The Queen Mother jumped from the tower, and His Majesty was reborn with fear

After Yu Jinzhi sent Su Zhaorong away, the words she had just said kept coming to her mind.

Miss Jiang?

"What is the princess thinking about?" Qingyu asked Yu Jinzhi who was in a trance.

Yu Jinzhi casually took the tea next to her and said, "It's okay." She didn't intend to say anything more.

Seeing this, Qingyu didn't ask any more questions, but...

"Princess, I just heard that Concubine Jiang went to the place of the deposed Concubine Yun." Qingyu said.

Miss Jiang went to Cheng Yun's place?

"What was the relationship between Concubine Jiang and Cheng when they were in the palace?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

Qingyu carefully recalled everything that happened in the palace: "My lord, I haven't heard of any interactions. Concubine Jiang rarely interacted with other concubines in the harem except for Concubine Shu."

"Then why did she go to Cheng's place for no reason? How long has she been there? Has she left?" Yu Jinzhi couldn't help but think of what Su Zhaorong had just said.

Qingyu shook her head: "I don't know why Lady Jiang left. She has been gone for a quarter of an hour and I heard she has left."

What a coincidence...

But what’s even more coincidental is that it happened at night.

because……

"Princess" Yu Jinzhi was awakened from her sleep.

Yu Jinzhi opened her eyes drowsily. Qingyu was standing in front of her bed with an anxious look on her face.

"What's wrong? You're so panicked. Did something happen?" Yu Jinzhi sat up from the bed, her mind still not clear.

However, seeing Qingyu's condition, she was afraid that something big might have happened, so she did not dare to be careless.

"Princess, it's the deposed Concubine Yun. Just now, the palace maid found Concubine Yun dead in the tent." As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, Yu Jinzhi widened her eyes in disbelief.

Cheng Yun is dead? Who has the courage to do that?

"I heard that it was a deliberate murder, and Duke Cheng rushed there after hearing about it. He cried and begged Your Majesty to take charge. Your Majesty has passed it now." Qingyu continued.

So what? What does this have to do with me?

Generally speaking, Qingyu would never disturb me if it was something that had nothing to do with me. So why did he wake me up from my sleep now? Could it be because this matter had something to do with me?

"When investigating the cause of death, the palace maids around Cheng said that you, Princess, had evil intentions and bore a grudge against her, so..." Yu Jinzhi guessed it before Qingyu could finish her words.

It turned out to be related to her. Maybe Duke Cheng wanted to punish her?

"Your Majesty sent someone to call me over?" Yu Jinzhi asked again.

"Yes, His Majesty sent someone to call you, but... His Majesty also said that if you really don't want to go, then you don't have to go." Qingyu replied.

So this proves that Xie Yuxiu must believe in himself. Or even if he did it, he would still protect himself.

"Then let's go." Yu Jinzhi didn't hesitate.

"Then I will help the princess change clothes right away." Qingyu said and was about to get clothes, but was stopped by Yu Jinzhi.

"Don't keep them waiting for too long. Just bring your coats and you don't need to put on makeup." Yu Jinzhi said.

Qingyu felt something was wrong, but just as she was about to advise him, she heard Yu Jinzhi say, "It's late at night, and I've already gone to bed."

When Qingyu heard this, she understood instantly and said nothing more.

When Yu Jinzhi and Qingyu arrived, the tent was brightly lit and Cheng Yun's body was still lying on the ground, but it had been covered with a white cloth.

Xie Yuxiu sat in the main seat at the top, and Duke Chengguo sat below Xie Yuxiu. He looked haggard, and of course, after experiencing the pain of losing his daughter, his mental state would not be very good.

"Your Majesty," Yu Jinzhi walked to the middle and bowed to Xie Yuxiu.

It was at this time that Yu Jinzhi realized that there were quite a few people in the tent. Lady Jiang, Su Zhaorong, and other concubines were also standing by.

"Why did you come here dressed like this?" Xie Yuxiu frowned as he saw that she was only wearing a coat.

The first is that it is quite cold outside, and it is easy to catch a cold if you dress like this. The second is... after all, there are other people in the room.

"Your Majesty, I had already fallen asleep when I suddenly heard that Your Majesty summoned me. I didn't dare to delay, so..." Yu Jinzhi also knelt down.

Xie Yuxiu didn't mean to blame her. He looked at her kneeling on the cold floor and said, "No need to kneel, sit down. Wang Yi, go get a cloak."

"Yes," Wang Yi replied.

After Yu Jinzhi got up from the ground, she sat down next to him. There were only three people sitting in the entire tent: Xie Yuxiu, Duke Cheng, and her.

"Your Majesty!" Duke Chengguo started again.

He stood up from his seat and knelt down in the tent: "Your Majesty, please make a decision for me! My daughter died here for no reason. I am really heartbroken!"

"I heard that Duke Cheng suspected that I murdered Cheng. I wonder if this is true?" Yu Jinzhi, who was sitting aside, was the first to speak.

Xie Yuxiu had no intention of stopping her. Instead, he wanted to see what Yu Jinzhi could say.

"Princess Jiayu, I am not targeting you, but apart from you, I just can't think of anyone else who hates my daughter so much. And in the entire camp, besides you, who else has such great power?"

"So what Duke Cheng just said was just based on speculation?" Yu Jinzhi continued to ask.

"It's not just speculation." Duke Cheng said this and looked at the palace maid kneeling beside him.

Yu Jinzhi also looked over and recognized her at a glance. She was Cheng Yun's personal maid.

"Your Majesty, our master died of suffocation after someone strangled his neck with a zither string. In the entire tent, apart from the musicians, only Princess Jiayu had a zither." said the palace maid.

Yu Jinzhi had just learned the cause of death from Qingyu, so she was not surprised now.

But what the palace maid said was true. In the entire tent, apart from the musicians who specialized in performing romantic performances, she was the only one who brought a zither.

For this winter hunt, Xie Yuxiu ordered everyone to dress simply and not bring anything that was not related to hunting. In addition, none of the concubines who came this time were good at playing the zither.

Only Yu Jinzhi, no one dared to say anything no matter what she brought, and everyone knew that the famous Princess Jiayu in the capital had been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, especially the music art of that piece...

However, Yu Jinzhi was not flustered when she heard this. It was just a zither and it didn't mean anything.

"You just said that besides me, there are other musicians who brought their own zithers. Then why are you so sure that the strings are mine?" Yu Jinzhi asked back.
