Conspiracy

Chapter 190 Li Jieyu paid a lot of money to buy paintings

As Yu Changqing entered the palace again, they came to Qiling Palace again.

Yueluo knelt in the middle of the hall and shivered. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and her palm prints were clearly visible. Her exposed arms were covered with slender red marks, as if she had been whipped with a whip or bamboo rattan. It was shocking to watch.According to other palace people's speculation, it was Concubine Yu who ordered people to do it last night.

"Miss Yueluo, I have checked, and in the past two months, you have been the only palace maid in the Qiling Palace who often goes out of the palace. Do you know that bringing musk into the palace privately and giving it to your mother is a capital offense?"

"What? Musk. Musk?"

Yueluo hesitated for a moment, her pupils dilated, her legs went limp for a while, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak fluently.

"You'd better tell the truth and not hide anything."

"My lord, spare me! This servant doesn't know anything! Please spare this servant!"

Yueluo shook her head frantically, remembering being beaten last night, the wound on her body was so painful that she trembled.

"Are you responsible for brewing your mother's medicine on weekdays, and have never had someone else do it?"

"Your Majesty is very careful! It is true that the servant made the medicine with her own hands, but the servant really did not let Musk go!"

"Don't be afraid, as long as you tell who ordered you to drug her, I will protect your life."

"Your servant really doesn't know! My lady just asked my servant to go to Jiyuefang to buy incense. I have never had any musk! Even if my servant is very brave, I dare not harm my lady!"

Jiyuefang?Incense?Why is it Mi Yao again?Last time, she was the one who hid Si Li's demonic aura and made them go around a lot.What about Li Jieyu?What is the relationship between them?It has been two months since she was named Jieyu, but Mi Yao probably hasn't even been to Jiyuefang for half a month.

Su Zhen walked towards Yueluo slowly, her sharp eyes seemed to be able to read people's hearts.Yue Luo sat down on the ground, supporting her body with her hands and kept moving backwards, crystal clear teardrops kept rolling down her cheeks like broken pearls.

"Miss Yueluo, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

With a gentle tone, Su Zhen took out a small and exquisite porcelain box from the front of her chest, with plum patterns carved on the outside.Open the lid, and the cool medicinal fragrance comes out.

Yueluo suddenly felt that the pain in her body seemed to be relieved a lot, but her guard was still not relieved.

"What do you want to do?"

"The girl looks delicate, like a lotus flower. She will leave the palace after another two years. She will be married to a good man, but it will be bad if there are scars. I made this ointment myself. You can apply this ointment on the wound." within three days, I guarantee that your injuries will heal and the scars will disappear without leaving any traces."

Su Zhen's voice after infusing spiritual power is soft and charming, making people know that they will fall for it, but they are willing to be bewitched by it.

Not only Yueluo's cheeks were burning hot, her earlobes were so red that she could bleed, even Yu Changqing, Jin Lian, and other palace people could hardly control their minds.

"My servant, thank you for Su Shaoqing's great kindness!" Yue Luo took the medicine box from her hand.

"It's okay, just a box of ointment." Su Zhen smiled lightly, dazzled Yueluo's eyes again.

"By the way, Su Shaoqing, I remember that my lady admires the paintings of Miss Xiyan in Jiyuefang."

Xiyan? !
Seeing that Su Zhen's 'beauty trick' took effect, everyone felt relieved, they never thought that a mere box of ointment could make Yueluo let go.

Jin Lian murmured, "Xiyan? Isn't that the woman from the Red Mansion who was murdered by the Conspiracy? I remember her body was burnt to a charred corpse in the morgue. There should be no connection between them."

Su Zhen stood up and retorted, "No, I told you earlier that the people killed by the Sinister Judgment were all vicious people. I checked later and found that Xiyan was willing to do good and had never done anything bad. It is impossible for the Sinister Judgment to kill her." .”

Killing Zun asked Lesha to brutally kill the sinful villains in the name of deceitful judgment, and use their resentful spirits to help him condense himself into a human body.

But Lesha said before he died that he did not kill Xiyan.She also went to find Le Shu later, and got confirmation from him that Xiyan's death had nothing to do with Qiqi, who was possessed by Killer at that time.

"Su Shaoqing, do you think that Miss Xiyan's death has something to do with Li Jieyu? It's not because she found out that the monster lived in Qiqi's body and was silenced? Actually, I think you're thinking too much, you don't need to cling to this point, We can continue to investigate in the harem based on Musk's clues."

"I told you, Xiyan was not murdered by a cunning judge!"

Jin Lian asked back, "Why are you so sure?"

"There are some things that I can't explain to you for a while. In short, there must be another reason for Xiyan's death." Su Zhen turned to Yueluo again and asked, "Miss Yueluo, the painting you bought from Xiyan is here. where?"

"It's under Jieyu's bed." Yueluo pointed to the inner hall with trembling fingers.

Inspired by Yu Changqing's eyes, Jin Lian immediately led his people to the inner hall, and they quickly brought out seven or eight black wooden boxes.

The wooden boxes were of different shapes and sizes, and they were not locked.

They unfolded the scrolls inside one by one, there were pictures of stunning beauties, beautiful mountains and rivers, blooming flowers, Jiangnan Linshui Pavilion, and a panoramic view of Kyoto.There are all kinds of paintings, which make people dazzled, but they have to marvel at Xiyan's superb painting skills.

Holding the scroll in her hand, Su Zhen recalled in her mind the scene when she went to Jiyuefang to look for Xiyan that day.

At that time, the paintings and calligraphy in Xiyan's room were scattered all over the floor. She was lying flat on the scroll in a splendid dress, her makeup was exquisite, her complexion was ruddy, and there were no wounds all over her body.

They checked carefully and found that Xiyan had indeed stopped breathing, had no pulse, and even the death condition was exactly the same as Yueluo's description of Li Jieyu's body before she disappeared.

Su Zhen carefully recalled the situation at that time, then compared the picture scroll in her hand, and looked at the tie tied with the picture scroll.

"Strange, since Li Jieyu likes Xiyan's paintings, she never opened them after buying them."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Look at this tie tie method, which is the same as Xiyan's usual method. In other words, Li Jieyu bought the painting and never dismantled it. Then why did she pay so much for the painting?"

"Is there anything else hidden in this box?"

Jin Lian knelt down and took out all the scrolls, but other than that, there was really nothing, nothing.

"Yueluo, did you buy these paintings from Jiyuefang?"

"Yes, after the servant girl bought it and gave it to the empress, she never touched it again."

Yu Changqing had been listening carefully, but at this moment he also noticed something was wrong, "Miss Xiyan's paintings in Jiyuefang are worth a lot of gold, but they are also very valuable. But even if Li Jieyu has a reward from the emperor, she can't buy it." You can afford so much. Cai Xun, take someone to count Li Jieyu's belongings, and later thoroughly investigate Xiyan's family background. Jin Lian, continue to check the records of suspicious people leaving the palace, and try to find a breakthrough. You Ning , follow me to meet Concubine Yu."

"Yes!"

The three of them leaned over and clasped their fists at the same time, and replied in response.
