Mu Xianyi squeezed her fingers together and pinched the jade pendant in her palm.He smiled wryly, and looked at Ling Xuetang: "If it was me, at least there is still room for turning around, but if it were him, he might have been executed immediately at this moment."

Ling Xuetang showed bitterness on her face: "Han Yu and her are cousins ​​and childhood sweethearts who grew up together. When you recognized this jade pendant, you were sure that Han Yu had a reason to kill, didn't you?"

No wonder just now Li Yanguan said that Han Yu has been drunk every day for the past few days, and he has not seen him for many days, so it is...

Mu Xianyi nodded, lowered his head, and said in a gentle voice: "When I saw this jade pendant and belt, I thought of many things at that moment. I thought of the relationship between the two of them, and that day when I was hunting in the garden. When I met Ying Jieyu, she was reciting Song Qi's "Falling Flowers" to Luohua, saying, "Falling plains turn red and each hurts, and the misty rain in the brothel forgets each other." At that time, I was already suspicious. who is it?"

"If it wasn't someone she knew well, it would be impossible for Ying Jieyu to drink tea with her. After much deliberation, it could only be him... However, I also wonder how did Han Yu get into the palace?" Mu Xianyi said, Looking at Ling Xuetang, "I suddenly understood why Rong Bi came to me so anxiously, maybe it was for me to help take him out of the palace?"

Ling Xuetang heard the words, but suddenly smiled wryly, and asked: "Xuanxuan, you have never thought about why Rongbi committed suicide?"

"Isn't it because he knew that the master did not abide by the palace rules and was in contact with foreign men, and even committed misdeeds, so he knew that he must die, so he committed suicide?" Mu Xianyi asked back.

"But I don't think Han Yu is such a person." Ling Xuetang held back her smile, her face serious and dignified, "I have been friends with him for several years, even if he is not an honest gentleman, he will not be the one who kills weak women impulsively. Xuan Xuan, you shouldn't admit it at that time, you should ask your Majesty to investigate..."

"Let him investigate?" Mu Xianyi suddenly interrupted him, with disbelief and amused expression on his face, and trembling voice when he spoke, "My son-in-law, what do you mean to let everyone in the world know that he is The Ninth Five-Year Lord, but was betrayed by the concubine?...Ning Xiangwu is a weak woman, she can't help herself when she enters the palace, although I despise her for being unruly, but she is dead, let alone spoke for me after all, How could I allow her reputation to be ruined, ridiculed and scolded by the whole world, and my whole family lost their lives?!"

Ling Xuetang said indifferently: "This is her own choice. When she chooses to embark on a road of no return, she should think about the consequences!"

Mu Xianyi looked at him with some disappointment, his eyes were red, but the corners of his lips were raised: "My son-in-law, one is my royal father, the other is a weak woman who helped me, and the other... is my husband." My best friend, do you think I have any other choice?!"

When Ling Xuetang heard the words "my husband's best friend", his body froze obviously, and his handsome and indifferent face obviously showed a moving expression——

It turned out to be the case.

Mu Xianyi is not stupid, it's not that she hasn't considered the possibility of this being a trap, but she still chose to bear all this by herself, just to protect the reputation of these three people!

Ling Xuetang was silent for a while, and finally there was still a firm and dignified expression on his face: "Xuanxuan, if Han Yu is really the murderer, I will bring him to surrender; if not, I will bring the real murderer to cleanse you suspicion——As for your father's reputation and Ning Xiangwu's reputation, I think that facts are facts, no matter how unacceptable and cruel they are, they are also facts." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"My son-in-law... Ling Xuetang!" Mu Xianyi hurriedly stepped forward to call him.

Ling Xuetang stopped in his tracks, he turned around, but a bit of tenderness suddenly appeared on his awe-inspiring face: "Before eating the food delivered from outside, remember to test the poison with a silver needle, be careful, wait for me."

After saying this, he finally turned around and went out without looking back.

Looking at the re-closed door, Mu Xianyi couldn't help closing his eyelids, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and then, a line of clear tears slowly meandered down his cheeks.

Ling Xuetang begged to see Emperor Zhang Wu again.

This time, he asked Emperor Zhang Wu for an autopsy - he knelt down on the ground, clasped his fists with his hands, and lowered his head: "Your Majesty, although I am not sensitive, I have killed people on the battlefield. When stabbing the center, there will be a lot Blood splattered out, if the princess killed someone, there must be some on her clothes, but she only had blood on her hands, this is a flaw; Ying Jieyu is taller than the princess, and has been riding horses and dancing with swords for many years, and even fights , the princess may not be her opponent, if the princess wants to kill her, she will definitely resist, the two will definitely fight, even if they don't fight, they should shout, the palace people outside should have heard it, but today the palace people didn't hear anything at all, There are two flaws; if these two flaws are not resolved, I feel that it would be too hasty to judge the princess as the murderer!"

At that time, Lord Zhen Guo also rushed to the palace with Dali Temple Minister and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He was kneeling on the ground with him. What's more, the matter involves Empress Jieyu and the princess? Empress Jieyu has a precious body, but the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, so she needs to be more cautious! If it is not verified, I am afraid that it will not be convincing based on what the court lady saw at the time and the princess's own confession!"

Dali Temple Qing Gao Hui'an also cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although this is a matter in the palace, it is a serious murder case. Since this matter has been widely known, it is better to follow the procedure for autopsy and verification, so as to avoid speculation by the people, let alone The princess will be wronged, and His Majesty will lose the princess and Empress Jieyu in one day. What's more, the law of our country stipulates that in any murder case, an autopsy must be performed to find out the cause of death, and the evidence must be complete. In order to set an example for all Xing prisons in the world, Your Majesty, please allow Dali Temple to cooperate in the investigation of this case!"

Li Keda, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, said again: "Your Majesty, there is a maid in our Ministry of Punishment, who specializes in autopsies for the families of dignitaries and dignitaries. If Your Majesty is at ease, please let her come for the autopsy!"

Emperor Zhang Wu also felt that there was something strange about this matter, but just now he was angry, and Mu Xianyi categorically admitted that he had murdered in public, so he had no choice but to lay the blame on her. There are steps to go down. After thinking about it, I said:

"All right, you Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the three divisions of the inner court jointly investigate the case. You must collect all the evidence, and the autopsy must be clear!"

"Yes!"

Coming out of the Yiqing Palace, Ling Xuetang saw the two mothers still kneeling outside, and hurriedly walked towards them. When they saw him coming, they also looked forward to it:

"Concubine Chen, mother, Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to conduct a thorough investigation together with Dali Temple. Presumably, the truth of this matter will come to light soon, and the princess will soon be cleared of her grievances."

When Concubine Chen heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears again, and quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "That's good...it's all my fault, and I have caused Xian'er to suffer."

Mrs. Zhen Guogong hurriedly comforted her: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. No one could have expected that this incident will bring disaster. Your Majesty agrees to conduct a thorough investigation and will definitely return the princess to her innocence."

Concubine Chen just nodded.

Ling Xuetang said again to Aunt Linlang who was beside Concubine Chen: "Please help Madam back to the palace, it's freezing cold, don't kneel here for a long time."

Lin Lang nodded respectfully.

He said to his mother again: "Mom, you go back with father."

"how about you?"

"I'm going out of the palace to do some errands." Ling Xuetang said, her gaze was far away——

He is going to find Han Yu!Before the man behind the scenes finds him!
