Xiao Lian still had that cold and indifferent look, and had no intention of being shaken at all.

Shen Rui made fun of himself, and finally walked out of Jingmingzhai with a full stomach.

As soon as the people left, Yu curling immediately put down the happy water of the fat house and asked.

"If you reject the sixth prince so directly, he will definitely hate you?"

Xiao Juan said in a low voice: "He was raised by Concubine Shu Gui to be arrogant and arrogant, but when it comes to Wen Tao and martial arts, he is really not the opponent of the other princes, and he may not be the one who can eventually ascend to the throne."

Yu Weiwei remembered the hostility of Concubine Shu Gui to her, and couldn't help whispering.

"It's best not to let the sixth prince ascend to the throne, otherwise I will definitely not have a good life in the future."

Xiao Lian: "You also have a grudge against the Sixth Prince?"

"I have no hatred with the sixth prince, but I have hatred with Concubine Shu.

It's not right, to be exact, she hated me unilaterally, and I don't know where I provoke her.

On the first day of the new year, she put a poisonous snake in my sedan chair.

Fortunately, I am not afraid of snakes. If it were someone else, I would be scared to death on the spot.

Afterwards, she wanted to frame me and frame me, but she insisted that I brought the poisonous snake into the palace.

If Empress Wen hadn't come forward to speak for me, I would have to kneel on the palace road for several hours.

She's still just a concubine now, that's all.

If I really let her be the queen mother in the future, wouldn't my life be more difficult? "

Xiao Lian frowned: "Why didn't you tell me these things before?"

Yu Weiwei scratched his head: "Too many things happened that day, I didn't have time to tell you this, and I forgot about it after a long time."

She once doubted whether the fake palace maid who wanted to murder her was arranged by Concubine Shu.

But after thinking about it, I realized that this is unlikely.

It was an accident that Concubine Shu let a poisonous snake bite her, and she was able to escape, but if she was killed in the palace, the nature of the matter would be completely different. In the end, Concubine Shu would likely have to compensate herself.

Taking such a big risk just to target a princess of the county who poses no threat to her makes no sense logically.

Xiao Yan looked helpless.

"How can you forget something so important?"

Yu curling smiled embarrassedly: "I was wrong, I won't be in the future."

Xiao Lian rubbed her little head.

"There is one thing you may not know yet. Concubine Shu and the Shu family are cousins, and the Shu family is Lu Luiguang's wife. After Lu Luiguang was demoted, their family had a very bad life. He also pleaded with the emperor, but unfortunately it failed."

Yu curled up: "So she hated us?"

Xiao Lian nodded slightly: "Yes."

Yu curling felt very wronged.

"Concubine Shu Gui is too unreasonable!

Lu Yuguang is self-inflicted, what does it have to do with us?

Besides, you even begged him for mercy. Without your begging, Lu Luiguang might have fallen to the ground long ago.

Why does she only remember the bad, but not the good?

Besides, the person who ordered Lu Luiguang's denunciation was the emperor.

If Concubine Shu should blame the emperor, why should she implicate me? "

Xiao Lian: "Persimmons are soft to pick up. She neither dares to blame the emperor, nor can she attack me, so she can only bully you."

Yu curled up his mouth and said, "Hmph, to put it bluntly, it means bullying the soft and fearing the hard!"

Meng Xizhou knocked on the door and reminded: "The people in the palace are still waiting outside."

Yu curling pushed Xiao Wan out.

"Come on, go early, go back early."

After Xiao Fan left the Justice Department, he rode straight to the palace.

When he arrived at the Zhengde Hall, the group of people who were kneeling at the door had already left.

This time, the old emperor not only summoned Xiao Juan, but also summoned Wei Liao at the same time.

"I called you here today because I want you to continue investigating the case of Concubine Yue."

Wei Liao was puzzled: "Isn't the real culprit already determined?"

Even if Queen Wen wanted to die, it didn't prove that she was really innocent.

The old emperor: "I understand what you mean, but there is no evidence to prove that the queen is guilty."

"Hopefully Snow will testify."

The old emperor: "Wangxue is dead."

Xiao Lian and Wei Liao were both startled.

"died?"

Wei Wynn, who was standing beside him, took the initiative to explain their confusion.

"Last night, Wang Xue died in the Prison Department's cell. No one found out until this morning that she died by hitting a wall, and it looked like she committed suicide."

Wei Liao couldn't understand: "Why did she suddenly commit suicide? Could it be that someone killed him to silence him and deliberately pretended to be suicide?"

Wei Huaien shook his head: "it shouldn't be, the Department of Prudence and Punishment has strict management, and the emperor specially emphasized yesterday to take a good look at Shouwangxue. From the time she was locked in to the discovery of her body, no one has ever seen her, nor No one ever brought anything into the cell, not even food or water."

"Then why did she kill herself?"

The old emperor said slowly, "Could it be that she chose to commit suicide because she felt ashamed and had no face to live on?"

Xiao Juan quickly understood what he meant and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with Wang Xue's confession?"

Wei Liao quickly retorted.

"She voluntarily identified Empress Wen for murdering Concubine Yue, there is no need for her to lie!"

Xiao Yan asked back, "Since she didn't lie, why did she commit suicide?"

Wei Liao was speechless.

The old emperor: "Anyway, Wang Xue is already dead. Now there is no evidence to convict the queen. This case has to be investigated further. I called you here to ask what you think?"

Wei Liao's response was quick, and he spoke first.

"Although Wang Xue is dead, there are still many maids and eunuchs in Fengyi Palace. Wei Chen suggested that they should be arrested and questioned. As long as one person is willing to tell the truth, the case will be brought to light."

The old emperor asked, "But if the queen is really innocent, how will you explain it to her afterwards?"

Wei Liao is neither humble nor arrogant.

"If the queen is innocent, Wei Chen is willing to accept any punishment!

As long as he can help the emperor to relieve his worries, no matter what he asks Wei Chen to do, Wei Chen is willing! "

The old emperor nodded slightly: "Your loyalty is indeed worthy of praise."

Then he looked at Xiao Yan again.

"Why don't you talk? Are you out of ideas?"

Xiao Lian spoke slowly.

"The case this time started with the remains of the baby excavated from the Ryuzu Palace.

All of us suspected that the baby was Yue Fei's child.

But doubt can only be doubt after all. If you want to know what the truth is, you have to dig a grave to see.

If Yue Fei's child is still in the coffin.

It means that the remains of the baby in Liucui Palace are not the child of Concubine Yue at all.

Our investigation was in the wrong direction from the start. "

Wei Liao looked at him in disbelief, as if listening to some fantasy.

"Are you crazy? You want to dig up Concubine Yue's grave?!"

When Concubine Yue died in childbirth, the little prince who was born was also stillborn.

Such a small prince could not stand alone, so the Ministry of Rites asked him to be buried with Concubine Yue.

This will not only allow the little prince to have a place to live, but also allow their mother and son to remain inseparable after death.
