The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 737

When Concubine Qiu arrived at Yanhua Palace, she asked someone to bring out Luying's body and see it with her own eyes.

Qiuping stopped: "Mother, this kind of thing is very unlucky, let's take a look at it on behalf of the servant girl."

"No need, I don't have so many taboos." As she spoke, she stepped forward to take a look, and subconsciously frowned, especially when she saw the obvious bruise and purple marks on Luying's neck.

Concubine Rui and Hongxia were also present, both of them covered their noses, although there is no unpleasant smell in this winter, they are more or less taboo about dead people.

Concubine Qiu winked, and the attendants covered Luying's body. She turned to ask Concubine Rui, "Where was Luying's body found?"

Hongxia stepped forward: "Going back to your mother, Luying's body was found at Mao this morning, and it was in her own room."

"With Luying's status, she should be living with someone else. Since she doesn't live alone, no one noticed the change when she died?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Luying is in charge of the night watch, and the two maids who live with her are also in charge of the night watch. Luying happened to be on shift last night, but the other two court ladies just happened to be there. So she was the only one in the house last night."

"So, there are no witnesses?"

"Yes ma'am."

"What about the physical evidence? Did you ask someone to do it? What exactly was she strangled to death, do you know?"

"Your Majesty, I have already asked you to take a look." As he said that, the young man who was waiting at the side of Hongxia gave him a wink. The young man understood, and stepped forward and said, "Little man Cao Bin, see the imperial concubine."

Concubine Qiu glanced at him: "Are you Zuo Zuo?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Tell me what you found."

"No." Cao Bin said solemnly: "Although the strangle marks on Miss Luying's neck are large, they are all bruised and dissipated. They are not the original marks. The villain has already looked carefully. The original marks are relatively thin. It must be something like hemp rope, because after Luying died, the bruises melted away greatly. It can be known that Luying did not commit suicide, but was strangled to death. wounded the murderer."

Concubine Qiu raised her eyebrows, but the expression in her eyes was incomprehensible: "You mean to say that there is evidence to be found?"

"Yes, ma'am, the villain found the flesh under Miss Luying's nails, but there was no scratch on Miss Luying's body except for the strangle marks on her neck. It belongs to her, and the only possibility is that she accidentally scratched the murderer when she was struggling to resist, and it was very likely that it was on the back of her hand or on her arm, because there were no pieces of fabric from her clothes between her nails Crumbs, above the elbow is unlikely."

Concubine Rui was obviously in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, since this matter has progressed, please order your Majesty to check the arms of all the people in the palace. Whoever has an injury on his hand is the murderer."

Concubine Qiu sneered: "Is Concubine Rui joking with me? There are many servants and maids who do rough work in this harem. They may all be scratched or rubbed. Most of them are similar to being scratched. Do you think you can catch the murderer if you find the wounded one?"

"The concubine naturally knows what the empress said, but in this way, the scope can be regarded as narrowed."

Wuzuo Cao Bin thought for a while, and said: "My lady, my concubine, my lady, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Go ahead."

"It's like this. The villain just thought of it. Miss Luying's arms are relatively long, so the place where she might scratch may be her face or neck."

Concubine Rui frowned: "You mean, those with wounds on their necks and faces may also be the murderer?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Okay, let's find out together, and we can't let go of any possibility. The imperial concubine, Luying is from the Yanhua Palace, and the concubine voluntarily lets the people from the Yanhua Palace to be inspected first."

Concubine Qiu smiled: "It's good for Concubine Rui to have such an awareness, so that's right, the investigation will start from Yanhua Palace, but I'm afraid it will take a little time to check all the people in the harem, how about this , let everyone in the palace take turns to go to Xinggong for inspection, and if any wounds are found, they will be sent directly to Xinggong for interrogation."

"Your Majesty is right, so let's do what your Majesty wants."

Concubine Qiu snorted and said to Concubine Rui: "The matter happened in Yanhua Palace, and Concubine Rui is also involved. I think it's inappropriate for you people from Yanhua Palace to investigate this matter, so I will let you personally investigate it." Investigation is better, what does Concubine Rui think?"

Concubine Rui frowned, but she had no excuse to refute, she could only grit her teeth and agree: "My lady is right, I dare not disobey."

"Oh? Why is Bengong a little dissatisfied with Ruifei's words?"

"The empress misunderstood, the concubine dare not."

"Don't dare or refuse to accept, I know it well, it's all up to this point, what is Concubine Rui still pretending in front of me? What kind of bastard are you, I don't know yet?"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. People will change. Even the Emperor can see the changes of his concubines. Doesn't the meaning of what Your Majesty said just now imply that the Emperor is blind?"

Concubine Rui narrowed her eyes, and said sharply: "Your mouth has become eloquent. Thanks to your good servant, please thank her in private. Otherwise, according to your stupid pig brain, how can you live until now? Not to mention It may be such a blessing to give birth to twins for the emperor!"

After hearing this, Concubine Rui's complexion changed on the spot, she quickly lowered her head, not to let Concubine Qiu see the displeasure on her face, so as to save her troubles when the time comes.

But Concubine Qiu would not care about her even if she saw it, she didn't say this to cause trouble for her, the best show is yet to come.

Hongxia panicked, Concubine Qiu was obviously trying to sow discord, you know, Concubine Rui is the one who values ​​her status the most, if she thinks that everything she has now is obtained by the servants around her, wouldn't she even Worse than a slave?Concubine Qiu just wanted to let their master and servant bite each other before the matter made any progress, so that she could watch the show from the sidelines, she really has a vicious heart.

Hongxia couldn't tell whether Concubine Rui had been fooled at the moment, and Concubine Rui was no longer the beautiful woman she was back then. After staying in the palace for so long, she had also learned some skills, and she hid emotions well that she shouldn't have. At least when Concubine Qiu was still there, she didn't let anyone see her displeasure.

Of course, these are temporary.

As soon as Concubine Qiu walked out of the gate of Yanhua Palace, Concubine Rui's expression turned a little incompetent, she sneered with disdain, turned around and slapped Hongxia hard!
