kingly way

Chapter 115 Chapter 115

After the morning court the next day, Gu Zhenwei asked to see Jin Yuanhong again,
"Is it because Mrs. Gu's interview with Mrs. Qu has made progress?"

Jin Yuanhong saw Gu Zhengwei walking in, before Gu Zhengwei could ask.

A murderer appeared in the palace, and the emperor killed someone. The deceased turned out to be the wife of the king. This was a challenge to his royal power. If it was spread, how could he, a great king, have the face to face civil and military officials and the people of the world;
What's more, the person who can assassinate Mrs. Wang in the palace, wouldn't he pose a threat to the king?
The murderer was a big hidden danger to him; he ordered Gu Zhenwei to investigate the case not so much for Mrs. Qu, but for himself.

"Your Majesty, during the process of investigating the case, I found some clues pointing to people in the palace. I dare not make any claims, so I came here to report to the King." Gu Guwei said;

"Since the widow has sent Mr. Gu to investigate this case, Mr. Gu is representing the widow. He can boldly investigate the case. No matter who it is, he will be punished for breaking the law and committing a crime. Tell me, who is involved in the case that Mr. Gu found? Never lightly." Jin Yuanhong said;

"Your Majesty, according to the confession of Mrs. Qu's little peach blossom, Mrs. Qu was bullied and threatened by a stranger before her death." Gu Zhenwei said;

"Who dares to intimidate Mrs. Wang in the palace?" Jin Yuanhong said angrily;

"Xiao Taohua is just a maidservant. She doesn't know many people in the palace. Xiao Taohua doesn't recognize this girl, but she overhears this girl saying, 'If you offend the queen, you will end badly. As long as Mrs. Qu tells the queen If you make an apology, you can spare her.’ or something like that.” Gu Zhenwei said;

"Bold..." Jin Yuanhong shouted angrily;
"Kings."

Gu Zhenwei was taken aback and hurriedly saluted Jin Yuanhong.

"go on."

Jin Yuanhong's anger still persisted;

"According to Xiao Taohua, Mrs. Qu scolded her at that time, and the woman left angrily." Gu Guwei said;

"Find out who this person is for the widow?" Jin Yuanhong said angrily;

"Because Xiao Taohua is a maidservant, when this person left, she stood aside respectfully and did not dare to raise her head, so she never saw his face clearly. But..." Gu Guzhen stopped talking suddenly,

"But what? Say it quickly, the hesitation makes me very upset." Jin Yuanhong said angrily;
"However, Queen Xuan Weichen went over yesterday and said that she wanted to take Xiao Taohua to Qianning Palace, saying that she wanted to ask her a question." Gu Guwei said;

"You can't let the queen take her away." Jin Yuanhong said;

"Your Majesty, if I refuse, the queen will definitely turn her anger on me. This is not conducive to the progress of the case. This minister thinks that Xiao Taohua can let her go to Qianning Palace. The next official can take a look at the progress of the situation according to the situation. Wronged the queen." Gu Zhenwei said;

"Well, then I will follow Master Gu's opinion." Jin Yuanhong said;

"Also, during the investigation of the case, I found that Mrs. Qu's nails have such a silk quality, which is different from the silk that Mrs. Qu hanged herself. I suspect that Concubine Qu was caught when she was strangled to death."

Gu Guwei said, and handed a few thin silk threads to Jin Yuanhong;

"This silk is only available from the queen, wife, concubine, and concubine. At that time, it was a tribute from countries outside the region. Because the quantity was small and noble, the widow only gave it to the queen, wife, concubine, and concubine. They didn't even have the imperial concubine. How could the silk thread be What about staying in Mrs. Qu's nails?"

Jin Yuanhong took the silk thread and looked at it carefully and said;
This silk is shiny and very noble.

"As long as it is found out where the silk thread came from, then there will be clues to the case." Gu Guwei said;

"The queen, madam, concubine Ji, and concubine all have silk cloth, how can they know whose silk cloth it is?" Jin Yuanhong said;

"Sibu strangled Mrs. Qu to death. When Mrs. Qu was strangled, she scratched Sibu due to pain. As long as you know whose silk cloth was scratched by your nails, even if she didn't kill Mrs. Qu, you can't get rid of it." " Gu Zhenwei said;

"Well. Even so, this matter has a great impact, and we still need to think about it in the long run." Jin Yuanhong said.

……

Pang Qiyun stomped her steps back and forth: How could this little Taohua say that she heard someone insulting Mrs. Qu, and even said that she was forced to apologize to Bengong?There must be someone trying to frame Ben Gong. Now that Mrs. Qu is dead, the only person who can do this is definitely Mrs. Yu;

Seeing that this little girl is usually gentle and docile to me, but it is definitely not out of sincerity. If she doesn't attack, she will become more and more passive. Well, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. I still have to strike first powerful;

"Wanqing, go to the Imperial Hospital and find out if Mrs. Yu sent someone to ask about abortion medicine."

Pang Qiyun stopped in her tracks and told her personal maid:
Wanqing responded and was about to leave;
"Wait, you can first ask the imperial doctors what the abortion medicine is, and then ask if anyone has come to ask about the abortion medicine."

Pang Qiyun stopped Wanqing and said, she thought about it for a while, it was too hasty to answer the direct question, so she specially explained to Wanqing again;
After a while, Wanqing hurried back;
"How is it? Did Madam Yu send someone to ask about abortion medicine?"

As soon as Pang Qiyun saw Wanqing came back, before Wanqing reported, she couldn't wait to ask;
"Reporting to the queen, the servant girl secretly asked a few imperial doctors, but they all said no." Wanqing said;
"No?"

Pang Qiyun asked angrily, if not, then Yu Wenwan was lying to her, and she couldn't help being furious;

"One of them is called Cao Fang. He kept hemming and hawing, and the servants were suspicious, so they asked again and again. Cao Fang said that Madam Yu's maid had asked her about abortion pills." Wan Qing said;
"Well, I know."

Pang Qiyun nodded. Since Yu Wenwan inquired about the abortion pill, it means that she really has the intention of having an abortion. If she incites it again, maybe she will really have an abortion. When she makes a noise, she will kill the little prince privately. Can she bear the crime?
Pang Qiyun, the more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't help laughing smugly.

……

Yu Wenwan is planning her next move,

"Ma'am, Doctor Cao, please see me."

Yongmei came in to report,

"Announce him in."

Yu Wenwan was overjoyed: Cao Fang must have brought good news when he came here at this time.

"Ma'am, the queen's maid has gone to the imperial hospital to inquire about the abortion pill."

When Cao Fang saw Yu Wenwan, he saluted her.

"What should Doctor Cao do?" Yu Wenwan asked;

"The minister told her the prescription and revealed that Madam sent someone to inquire about the abortion medicine." Cao Fang replied;

"Does Doctor Cao know that it was that person who was questioned in the past?" Yu Wenwan asked;

"Hui Niangniang, she is Wanqing, the queen's personal maid."

Cao Fang often treated the nobles in the royal palace, and he was familiar with the people in the royal palace, and the wives of those favored ministers and favorite generals all sent their personal maids to look for him, so he was naturally familiar with them.

"Okay, Doctor Cao has done a good job, and I will definitely reward you a lot."

Yu Wenwan said with a smile.

……

Gu Zhenwei asked someone to bring Xiao Taohua to Qianning Palace.

"Master Gu, Xiao Taohua will stay here, you should go back first!"

Pang Qiyun glanced at Xiao Taohua and said to Gu Zhenwei.

"This..." Gu Zhenwei said with a troubled face;
"Master Gu, do I have to agree with Mr. Gu if I want to ask Xiao Taohua something?" Pang Qiyun said with an angry face;
"I don't dare." Gu Zhenwei said in panic;
"Then Master Gu can leave first." Pang Qiyun issued the order to chase away the guests;

Gu Guwei saluted and walked out.

"You lowly maidservant, who ordered you to slander me like this?"

Seeing that Gu Zhenwei had gone far away, Pang Qiyun became furious, pointed at Xiao Taohua and cursed;
"My queen, the servant girl overheard it." Little
Tao Hua suddenly knelt on the ground in fright.

"You still dare to speak hard? Give me a slap." Pang Qiyun shouted loudly;

Several court ladies stepped forward, and there was a clap of applause, and Xiao Taohua's face suddenly became as round and red as a peach blossom.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me... Your Majesty, please forgive me..." Xiao Taohua burst into tears in pain;

"Tell me, who ordered you." Pang Qiyun shouted;

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, no one really instructed me." Xiao Taohua said pitifully;

"Stay stubborn, call me again." Pang Qiyun shouted;

Xiao Taohua was not instigated by anyone, she just heard what the strange woman said, now she is asked to find out who instigated her, how can she tell?

Poor little Taohua was beaten again. Although her status was low, she was rarely beaten. How could she bear such a beating? After a while, she passed out from the pain.

"Put it up for me first, and ask again when I wake up." Pang Qiyun said angrily.
