A concubine's princess? But being fostered under the Queen Mother's name was different.

Everyone knows that the Queen Mother never kept anyone around her before, but this Fourteenth Princess happened to win the Queen Mother's favor and even lived in a side hall of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Apart from the fact that Madam Jiang Shu had pinned the death of Master Zhong on her two days ago, she had hardly been heard of. But since the wine was sent to the lakeside for the memorial service, Madam Jiang Shu had not made a fuss about her being buried alive with him.

Although he looks young, he already has the aura of a superior and is not afraid at all when he sees people from the Supreme Court.

The leader only slightly bowed and said, "Princess, please make way. The Supreme Court is investigating the case." His tone was good, but still a little arrogant. After all, they were investigating the case under the order of the king.

Ling Ji struggled violently, but could not get rid of the two strong men holding her on both sides. She cried out for help: "Please tell the Queen Mother and the King that Ling Ji was wrongly accused. Please, Princess!"

"Shut up! You will know whether it is a false accusation or not once you enter the Supreme Court."

Xining raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "What is this person's name?"

Someone replied: "This is Xun Qianzong of the Imperial Court."

Xining said slowly and calmly, "Oh, General Xun, can I have a word with you?" As a princess, I am gentle, virtuous and kind.

General Xun Qian frowned slightly: "If you have anything to say, say it here." She is just a concubine princess raised by the empress dowager. In order to investigate the case, not only the concubine princess, but also the legitimate princess must be tried if necessary.

She raised her sleeves and smiled, "Mr. Qian, are you afraid of a little girl like me? Since you want to borrow my help, I will say something useful to you. If it doesn't work, you can make trouble later."

What a courage! But Xun Qianzong rolled his eyes, raised his hand, and said to the side: "Please!"

After walking to one side, the crowd left about seven or eight steps away and the three stopped.

Xining said calmly, "There are only two days left before the deadline set by my father. I see that General Qian is so anxious, investigating cases and arresting people everywhere, and he is exhausted. This princess does have some clues."

Xun Qianzong's eyes suddenly brightened: "Please speak."

Those who were arrested refused to confess and began to blame each other under heavy punishment.

This Lingji was exposed by a eunuch, who said that Lingji was infertile and might be jealous of Madam Jiang Shu, so she attacked the young master severely.

Capturing Ling Ji for interrogation is also to see if other people can be implicated. If by chance, then the murderer's clues will be revealed. If not, there will be more people involved in the case to muddy the waters.

If the Fourteenth Princess tells the truth, then one more person can be convicted.

Then the Fourteenth Princess slowly said, and sighed as if with emotion: "Master Qian, please stop arresting people. Think about me. My mother was born in a humble family, but one day she was pitied by the Queen Mother and was deeply favored by her. In this palace, you may be in the mud today, but who knows if you can fly to the top tomorrow. Besides, the relationships in this palace are complicated. Who knows who is good with whom and who is hostile to whom."

After talking for a long time, he still didn't reveal any clues, but I understood what he meant. He was just asking him not to arrest the murderer. If he didn't hand over the murderer in two days, his life might be over.

Then the Fourteenth Princess lowered her voice and said, "It's just to find a murderer. There are eight people wrapped in reed mats in the small house next to Jinxiu Palace. If two are not enough, four should be enough, right? The dead will not blame anyone."

Xun Qianzong's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, why do we need a living person to confess? A dead person can also be the murderer. Let the living person identify the dead person. In order to save his life, it is best if someone convicts him. If a dead person takes the blame, then he should sign the contract immediately.

He thought about it for a moment and asked tentatively: "The murderer is dead, how do we execute him?" He is already dead, and Mrs. Jiang Shu might ask him to find the murderer's surviving family members.

Xining smiled: "Those are slaves who have almost no family members. It is possible that they were sold when they were young. Since they need to be executed, then whip their corpses, chop them up, grind their bones and scatter their ashes. For those who have escaped punishment, just worship them more often and burn more paper money on weekdays."

Yes, anyway, these slaves are tired of living, and they will die if they die. No matter how much they torture the corpse, they will not feel any pain. He immediately bowed: "Thank you, Princess."

Xining didn't respond, but curled the corners of his mouth, turned around and left with Chun'er.

Xun Qianzong walked back and waved his hand: "Let him go!"

The people holding Ling Ji loosened their hands, and Xun Qianzong played the role of a good guy: "The Fourteenth Princess testified that you could not enter Jinxiu Palace, and you should not murder Master Zhong. After thinking about it, I think it makes sense, so I let you go. Don't blame me, someone reported you, and I have to investigate. Now that the matter has been made clear, you are fine."

Ling Ji, frightened, had already lost her legs and sat on the ground, stammering, "Thank you, General Qian."

She waited until everyone left before she stood up tremblingly and walked back slowly. As a concubine, she would have a maid to serve her, but now she didn't know where her maid was. She must have escaped back to her master.

As for General Xun Qian, his subordinates asked flatteringly: "Sir, do you want to arrest anyone else?"

"Who are you arresting? Go back to the Duwei Mansion!" General Xun Qian felt more confident and looked much more cheerful.

During the day and night, the arrested people were interrogated one after another, and they wrote dozens of confessions and signed and sealed them. The confessions written on pieces of linen were placed in front of General Xun Qian.

After a quick glance, General Xun Qian smiled with satisfaction, picked up a pen, and began to write the conclusion of the case on the bamboo slips.

At this time, Lieutenant Li walked in from outside, with an angry face: "Tomorrow is the deadline, who do you plan to let take the blame?"

"You've come just in time. Take a look for yourself." Mr. Xun Qian continued writing without even raising his head.

Captain Li picked up one and read it quickly. Then he was stunned and picked up another one. Halfway through, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Are you going to get away with it like this?"

"Then what can you do? I am all ears." Xun Qianzong accidentally wrote a wrong word, and quickly took a cloth to wipe it off, and then scraped it slightly with a carving knife. He picked up the bamboo slip and put it to his mouth and blew it. After putting it down, he looked at Lieutenant Li and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"We have found some clues. It is very likely..."

"Don't say anything!" Xun Qian interrupted him immediately, raised his hand and made a prohibitive gesture: "Don't say anything."

He persuaded her kindly, saying, "So what if it was the case? If it wasn't the murderer, then it would be a big problem. Everyone knows that it is not something that an average person can do to get a living person out of the concubine's bedroom without anyone noticing, hide from so many people, and drown him by the lake."

"In our positions." He gestured back and forth with his fingers: "Who can be pulled off? The queen, the lady, or the beauty?"

He sighed deeply, with sadness and helplessness: "That's it!"

Captain Li was silent for a while, put down the confession and walked out.

"Don't go!" Xun Qianzong shouted, "Come with me to the palace and make a statement to the king later."

"You go by yourself, my lord."

"Let's go together. We can eat sesame cakes and mutton soup on the way. If it doesn't work, we can have a good meal and die together."
