[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

"Absolutely nothing?" The emperor asked with a seemingly normal question.

"Yes, absolutely nothing!" Yingchun and the others repeated their assurances.

"Then where did these evidences come from?" The emperor asked, pointing to the things on the side of the table.

The eunuch handed the things on the table to the three of Yingchun with winking eyes.

It was a handkerchief with light blue butterfly love flowers embroidered on silk, but it was supposed to be clean and beautiful, but it was stained with bloodstains shockingly. The face of the person changed.

"If I die, Concubine Xian will kill me!"

The six blood-red characters are shocking, and because the characters are written in blood, as time goes by, the dried blood makes the color of the writing red and black, which is even more shocking!

"The emperor has asked his servants to ask, and there is indeed a wound on Zhou Cairen's index finger. After inspection, it was bitten by teeth." Eunuch Dai said.

Can the wound on Zhou Cairen's finger prove that the words on this handkerchief were indeed written by Zhou Cairen?

"The people in Shou'an Palace also proved that they did see Zhou Cairen wearing this handkerchief." Eunuch Dai said again.

The handkerchief belonged to Zhou Cairen, and the blood stains on it seemed to belong to Zhou Cairen. This seems to prove that the words written on this handkerchief were indeed written by Zhou Cairen.

So, Concubine Xian?

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged!" Concubine Xian said hastily.

Seeing that the emperor didn't show any impatience on his face, the concubine Xian quickly explained, "The concubine and Zhou Cairen have no grievances, so how could they murder Zhou Cairen? Besides, the concubine is a good concubine of the first rank, and Zhou Cairen is just a concubine. A low-ranking talented person, is it right for my concubine to murder Zhou Cairen? To put it bluntly, even if my concubine doesn't like her, he can teach her a lesson in a fair manner, why would he murder Zhou Cairen's life!

Although this handkerchief belongs to Zhou Cairen, has anyone seen Zhou Cairen writing on it?The concubine suspected that someone had murdered Zhou Cairen and wanted to kill two birds with one stone to plot against the concubine, so he wrote these words on Zhou Cairen's handkerchief with blood!

This is completely a frame for the concubine!I beg the emperor to see clearly! "

Suddenly, Yingchun saw that just now, Guo Meiren said to His Highness that she was wronged, and begged her, Concubine Xian and others to investigate clearly. In a blink of an eye, she, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Gui were indeed kneeling under the emperor, begging the Emperor to observe clearly.

Sure enough, feng shui turns around, this year it is my house, next year it is his house.

The emperor frowned and looked at the handkerchief, as if he felt that what Concubine Xian said made sense.

"The three concubines are free!" the emperor finally said.

Kneeling or not is the most embarrassing position. Yingchun already felt the discomfort in her legs, so she moved her steps quietly to clear her meridians.Suddenly, Yingchun felt the emperor's gaze, and looked up, the emperor's gaze was not on her at all, as if it was just an illusion.

Yingchun covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she never had any illusions.

As for someone accusing her of covering up Concubine Xian in front of the Emperor, it is just a crime of covering up, as long as Concubine Xian can prove her innocence, they will be fine without making excuses!

"This is Mother Deng of the Shou'an Palace, and she also told me that the concubine Xian murdered Zhou Cairen by murdering people. The noble concubine and concubine Shu protected the concubine Xian and allowed her to blame Guo Meiren for this. Confront me!" said the emperor.

"Yes" Concubine Xian replied.

Knowing who framed her, Concubine Xian cast a stern glance at Mother Deng, and asked unkindly, "Isn't Mother Deng?"

Mother Deng shrank back, and then looked over fearlessly.

A smile curled up on the corner of Concubine Xian's mouth, and she asked, "Nurse Deng, did you provide this handkerchief?

How do you prove that the writing on this handkerchief was written by Zhou Cairen?

Why didn't you forge it to frame Bengong?

What's more, Zhou Cai died, and the first time the body was found, some palace guards kept a close eye on the whole house. How did you get this handkerchief secretly?

Also, after discovering the corpse, conduct a thorough investigation, and all doubtful things should be carefully presented as evidence. You, a nanny in charge, will not be ignorant of the rules here, and you dare to commit crimes knowingly, and you will be able to prove that Zhou Cairen Some evidence of death surreptitiously brought out?

What is your intention to increase the difficulty of solving this case?

A servant, fabricating evidence to frame a concubine of the first rank, what is your purpose?Do you know what a serious crime this is? "

Concubine Xian questioned the flaws one by one.

Unexpectedly, when so many flaws were brought up, Mother Deng did not seem to panic in the slightest, and resolved the doubts calmly.

"This handkerchief was provided by a servant girl. As for how to prove that this handkerchief belongs to Zhou Cairen? The palace people in Shou'an Palace have seen Zhou Cairen use it. Judging from the color of the blood, it can naturally prove that the writing on the handkerchief was written by Zhou Cairen.

The maidservant is the mother in charge of Shouan Palace, because there is no concubine in charge in the Shouan Palace, therefore, the first time that Zhou Cai was found dead, the palace servants naturally reported it to the maidservant, and then the maidservant reported to the maidservant, so the maidservant Before the ladies arrived, they had already been to Zhou Cairen's house.

As for the fact that the servant secretly brought out the handkerchief as evidence, it was because the servant had discovered something was wrong with Zhou Cairen before.

Zhou Cairen is a very kind person.On that day, it was raining heavily, and the servants went to other palaces to deliver things in the rain. When they came back, they accidentally broke their legs. The servants could not move, and there was no one in the courtyard. Regardless of the slave girl, she personally carried the slave girl back to the house in the rain, and even announced the female doctor for the slave girl, and because of this, the slave girl saved her life.

It is also because of Zhou Cairen's life-saving grace to the servant girl, that the servant girl pays special attention to Zhou Cairen on weekdays. Before, if Zhou Cairen went to Yongning Palace to visit the concubine Xian, he would always ask the servant girl sadly after returning, why? Concubine Xian hates her?Is it because she didn't do well there?But everything is fine.However, just a few days ago, Zhou Cairen suddenly became panicked, as if someone wanted to kill her.

The slave girl asked Zhou Cairen because she was worried, and Zhou Cairen said, what if I accidentally know someone's secret?When he said this, Zhou Cairen's face turned pale with fear.

The servant girl told Zhou Cairen that it is best to be a deaf and blind man, who can neither see nor hear, so that he can live for a long time.

The slave girl thought, as long as Zhou Cairen pretended to know nothing, it should be fine, but, that is, yesterday morning, Zhou Cairen suddenly came to find the slave girl, and she asked me if I knew something about Concubine Xian ?

The slaves have been working in the palace all the time, so if they don't inquire or investigate, they naturally don't know.Therefore, Zhou Cairen begged the servant to see that she had saved the servant, and if something happened to her, she must hand over the handkerchief she hid in the dressing box to the emperor.

Zhou Cairen asked the servants to hand things over to the emperor. It can be seen that her murder probably involved several empresses in power in the palace, and they dared not let the empresses know about the key evidence.

Upon hearing that Zhou Cairen was killed, the slave immediately remembered what Zhou Cairen had asked the slave, what if she knew some secrets?She was afraid that's why she was killed.

The servant rushed to Zhou Cairen's house immediately, and found this handkerchief from the dressing box according to Zhou Cairen's previous explanation. The servant saw that it said, "If I die, the concubine Xian will kill me." After handing over the handkerchief to several empresses, he followed Zhou Cairen's last order and presented the handkerchief to the imperial court. "

okay?This Mother Deng opened her mouth, and not only said that all her irregularities were ordered by Zhou Cairen, but also dragged Concubine Xian into a bigger whirlpool.

Murder?What kind of secret is this that made Concubine Xian risk being discovered and commit murder?

Sure enough, Concubine Xian was very angry. After taking a few deep breaths, Concubine Xian temporarily suppressed her anger, and asked unkindly, "Nurse Deng, can you bear the responsibility of framing a concubine of the first rank?"

Mother Deng took a deep look at Concubine Xian, and said, "Of course the servants cannot bear the crime of framing a concubine of the first grade, but what if it wasn't for the frame-up? Don't blame the concubine Xian, who let Zhou Cairen save the slaves? Thanks for your kindness, I dare not just watch my savior die in vain!"

"Okay, okay, since you said you knew some big secret of this palace that forced me to kill people, then tell me what kind of secret this is, and let everyone listen when you tell it." Concubine Xian said with a clear conscience.

"..." The eloquent Nanny Deng finally had nothing to say and closed her mouth.

At this time, the noble concubine stepped forward and said, "I would like to report to the emperor that the three courtiers and concubines have thoroughly investigated the murder of Zhou Cairen. Although there is no evidence to find the real murderer, they have also found a lot of things."

"Oh? Let's hear it." The emperor said.

"Yes," the imperial concubine agreed, and then explained Zhou Cairen's murder, "Zhou Cairen was bound hands and feet at midnight, strangled to death with a rope, and then pretended to hang himself.

The three concubines found out that Guo Meiren, who lived with her in Shouan Palace, was the most suspect. Guo Meiren personally confirmed that she was accidentally plotted by Zhou Cairen after she became pregnant, resulting in a miscarriage of the fetus in her womb, and she would not be able to conceive again for the rest of her life. She has resentment towards Zhou Cairen in her heart.

Yesterday, Guo Meiren even had a conflict with Zhou Cairen. Guo Meiren slapped Zhou Cairen, and Zhou Cairen slapped him back.In addition, Guo Meiren has scars caused by Zhou Cairen on her neck.

At midnight, although there was someone on duty at Guo Meiren's place, the maid who was on duty accidentally fell asleep, so there was no guarantee that Guo Meiren hadn't left the house last night. "

The imperial concubine's thoughts are very clear, since she can't be kind, she should muddy the water even more.

"The one who murdered Zhou Cairen couldn't be Guo Meiren!" Madam Deng retorted, and before everyone could ask questions, she said, "Zhou Cairen was in constant panic because he accidentally learned of the accident. For a beauty, Guo Meiren is only a rank higher than Zhou Cairen, and she will not make Zhou Cairen fearful like that at all.

From Zhou Cairen's demeanor before he passed away, one could tell that the person she was afraid of must be several ranks higher than her, who could control her life and death.

If the handkerchief is fake, whose secret is Zhou Cairen knowing? "

Aunt Deng's eyes swept over Concubine Xian, Concubine Gui, and Yingchun, as if to say that only the third concubine could make Zhou Cairen so terrified and control Zhou Cairen's life and death!

Anyway, it's either Concubine Xian or Concubine Gui and Concubine Shu!

Does Mother Deng want to involve her and the noble concubine in this, so as to force them to protect themselves and have to push the concubine Xian out?

If you stay in the palace for a long time, you will become treacherous and cunning indeed!

Yingchun laughed, and she did laugh out loud, a nun, is it worth paying for all the concubine Xian's identification?A life-saving favor?Was that really a lifesaver?Or is it a special plan to get involved?

She never believed that a nanny who had become an old fritter would be so desperate just because of a little help!

Moreover, listen to what this Madam Deng said before, Zhou Cairen is a "kind" person?If it's really kind, Guo Meiren just showed signs of pregnancy, Guo Meiren doesn't even know it yet?Why was he already given a strong abortion drug?And afterwards, Zhou even destroyed all the evidence, so that people knew that she did it, but there was nothing they could do!

Attacking the alliance on the same front, and it's just an innocent child in the belly, Zhou Cairen can do it, how can he be kind?

Really, it’s not perfect to tell a lie.

"Mother Deng, who is the master behind you?" Yingchun asked.
