Conspiracy

Chapter 296 Palace Banquet [VIII]

When the others heard them whispering, they also began to discuss in a low voice.

Frowning, Shang Yu frame put his right forearm on his knee, leaned forward, half-closed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Pei, after your careful examination, what is the cause of their death?"

Pei Lixin unhurriedly tore off the white cloths from the other stretchers one by one. In comparison, the stench from the other three corpses was disgusting.

"Back to the emperor, Li Jieyu died of cardiac arrest due to overdose." He said, walking towards the two corpses in the middle, "Everyone, please look, they are Miss Xiyan from Jiyuefang and Miss Xiyan who was killed a few days ago. The court lady Yueluo was burned to death in Qiling Palace."

After the two corpses were burned by the fire, the pitch-black skin was cracked and shaped like black charcoal.

"Mr. Pei, I heard that Miss Xiyan was exactly the same as Li Jieyu when she died, and her body didn't show any signs of decay. Why is that?" Shang Yici paused for a while, glanced at Su Zhen, and said slowly, "There is also Miss Yueluo. After being diagnosed by the imperial physician, she had applied a kind of ointment before she died. This medicine came from Mr. Su's hands."

"His Highness King Qin is right. Miss Xiyan and Li Jieyu have been taking the same medicine for a long time, but the medicine didn't take effect until after they died. As for the ointment His Highness mentioned, I have checked it, and there is nothing wrong with it."

While speaking, Pei Lixin walked towards the last corpse, which was also the best excuse for those court moths to use this to bring down the East Palace, Taifu's Mansion and General's Mansion.

"As for the last corpse, as examined by the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, the dumb slave of the court lady once applied the ointment given by Mr. Su. However, the medicine did contain a highly poisonous substance. The six internal organs are rotten, and after death, people will turn into dry bones in a very short period of time."

Shangyu Frame didn't pretend like other people, covering mouth and nose, or showing a look of fear, and continued to ask, "Jing'er, what is your so-called truth?"

Shang Jingyao bit her lips, then took a deep breath and said, "Father, Su Zhen is not a murderer!"

"Oh? Then you found the real murderer?"

"I found it." Shang Jingyao replied firmly.

"Where is this person now?"

"died."

"Dead? Your Royal Highness, do you think that you can help Su Zhen clean up by talking nonsense?" Yu Wude mocked.

"Young master Su is innocent, why do you need to clean up?"

Why did "Princess, that dumb slave" get hurt? "

"The reason why the dumb slave was injured is because the princess wanted to snatch Master Gu's spiritual pet, Le Shu, and it was the dumb slave who rushed up to block the attack for the princess."

"In this way, the person Su Zhen originally wanted to harm was not a dumb slave, but you, Your Highness the Princess!"

"General Yu doesn't need to provoke. When the Japanese princess and Mr. Su only met for the third time, why did he want to kill me? If he wanted to kill me, but accidentally injured the dumb slave, why should he save her? If he wanted to save her, why did he want to poison her?" Why is it so unnecessary? Since you have already poisoned her, why did you kill her in the middle of the night?"

Shang Jingyao's series of logical questions left Yu Wude speechless.

"Jing'er, you have said so much, but you can't prove that Su Zhen didn't kill someone. On the contrary, you thought him too good and beautiful, and you were blinded by that guy's disguise."

It turned out that when Yue Xian'er was still around, he helped Shang Yici a lot. For a while, he couldn't see why 'Shang Jingyao' rebelled. Could it be that this girl was really given by Su Zhen in a short period of time? Confused?
"Fifth brother, don't you also have no evidence? Why did you directly convict Su Zhen of the death penalty? You are all just hearsay from other people! You are the king of Luo Qiqin, don't you understand what others say?"

There were thousands of people in the already silent Shaohua Hall, but now it suddenly seemed like an empty hall.

The queen caught a glimpse of Shang Yu frame's sudden change of expression, and hurriedly scolded preemptively, "Jing'er! Don't be presumptuous!"

"Empress, you once taught Jing'er that a gentleman is beautiful when he is an adult, but a villain is evil if he is not. Jing'er was not sensible before, and Lao father, the queen mother, and the emperor's grandmother have been worrying about it. In fact, Jing'er does not understand, but I don’t like it. I don’t like this palace, and I don’t like the people in this palace.”

"." The queen wanted to get up angrily, but Shang Yu framed her hand and said to Shang Jingyao, "Finish!"

Shang Jingyao was stared straight at by his sharp and wise eyes, feeling guilty, she pursed her lips and said boldly, "Father, I would like to guarantee that Su Zhen is not a murderer with the position of this princess!"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Father! You have always been fair and strict! Anyone with a discerning eye can see what is right and what is wrong! You don't know that Li Jieyu and Xiyan were acquainted outside the palace in the early years. One of them is the most popular pillar of Jiyuefang. The skills are already superb, and the other one is your new concubine Jieyu who was less than three months old. They don't seem to have any relationship, but in fact they have been secretly communicating with each other."

Su Zhen raised her eyebrows, silently listening to Shang Jingyao's nonsense, and turned her head inadvertently, only to see Xiao Chuhong staring at her.After touching her nose, her eyes fell back on Shang Jingyao.

"Jing'er, you said that Yu'er and Xiyan have contacts, but one of them is from the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is from the desert."

The insiders laughed in their hearts, they all wanted to hear how Shang Jingyao lied.

Shang Jingyao's eyes drifted to the young master's copy, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, "Father, it is true. But after investigation by my son, they... They are for the art of keeping in appearance. After all, which girl would not want to live forever and be beautiful?"

After the words fell, all the wives and ladies of the officials at the women's banquet opposite couldn't help but nodded.

"Jing'er, do you have evidence for the bizarre guesses you made?"

"Father, there used to be, but now it's gone." Shang Jingyao shrugged, her lips pursed, her face full of helplessness.

"What exactly are you talking about?"

"Father, it's not impossible for you to know, but the dead are the most important, and you can't take your anger on them!"

"Just say it straight, don't beat around the bush again." Shang Yu said sharply.

"Father, it's not that they are gone. In fact, they ate them into their stomachs, which are the medicinal materials that Imperial Physician Pei said. In order to keep her appearance unfailing, Li Jieyu asked the palace maid Yueluo to leave the palace in the name of buying a painting. And Xiyan took the opportunity to hide the medicinal materials in the box, so wouldn't it be perfect?"

Yu Changqing frowned. After they discovered this secret in Shuyue Palace that day, they immediately made everyone shut up. How did Princess Jingyao know it?Moreover, she actually forcibly broke the medicinal material that Li Jieyu took to cause infertility into a good medicine.

Seeing that everyone was half-believing, Shang Jingyao continued, "Father, do you still remember those porcelain dolls? They all have demonic properties! It was they that killed Yueluo!"

"Porcelain dolls kill people? You made it up too far!"
