Distressed wife

Chapter 186 The Death of Yi Rong (2)
For a moment, the cheerful atmosphere suddenly became dignified, and everyone dared not show their spirits, especially Zhong Yu, who was sitting on the stage at the moment, seemed at a loss and didn't know how to deal with herself.

Seeing the gloomy expression on the emperor's face, Concubine Yun turned her eyes to look at the nanny behind her, who quickly handed her the Twelve Princes in her arms, and Concubine Yun immediately teased the Twelve Princes, "Your Majesty, look, Rui My son is laughing."

When the emperor heard this, the gloom on his face dissipated a bit, and he turned to look at Jun Qianrui in Concubine Yun's arms, only to see him smiling brightly at him, as if it was the purest smile in the world.

Most of the anger in the emperor's heart disappeared now, and he raised his hand to hold Jun Qianrui in his arms. Just as he was about to take it, he saw Eunuch Ming walking over with his head bowed, "Your Majesty, Miss Zhang's family has hanged herself!" Plum Garden."

"What?" The emperor's hands were still in the posture of hugging Jun Qianrui, but there was a momentary pause, and then slowly put away, "Zhang Aiqing, go and have a look."

"Yes." Zhang Zong, who was sitting at the banquet, immediately got up, turned around and went to the plum garden.

The corner of Mu Zi's mouth twitched into a faint smile, and he raised his eyes to see Zhong Xuan looking at her with a smile.

Qi Xuan and Mu Lingxuan also set their eyes on Mu Ziyan, and they remembered that Mu Ziyan went in the direction of the plum garden just after leaving the banquet.

Mu Ziyan met the caring eyes of Qi Xuan and Mu Lingxuan, and nodded slightly at them, as if to reassure them.

Mu Zixi sat on the side and thought that Zhang Yirong would have died long ago, but it was really bad luck to be reincarnated at this time.

Mu Zilan lowered her eyes and remained silent, acting as if she had nothing to do with her. It was really not easy to be able to attend such a palace banquet. At this time, she couldn't push herself to be in the limelight, but she also couldn't be honest.

All of a sudden, everyone had their own thoughts, and the Chuxiu Pavilion became completely silent, not even the slightest panting sound.

Leng Hanfeng looked at Mu Ziyan who was opposite, and seeing that she was sitting calmly, nothing wrong with him, he narrowed his eyes slightly, apparently not knowing about Zhang Yirong.

After a while, when Zhang Zong came back, the emperor said in a deep voice, "But what did you find out?"

"Back to the emperor, Miss Zhang was strangled to death and hung from a tree branch." When Zhang Zong said this, everyone gasped.

Who is so bold, who dares to commit murder in the palace, and who is so blatant.

"Investigate, this matter is bound to be investigated." The emperor Longyan was furious, and shouted in a deep voice.

Before the emperor got angry, Concubine Yun had already made the mother take a few steps back with the twelfth prince in her arms, so she didn't scare the twelfth prince, if the twelfth prince started to cry at this moment, it would be causing trouble for her.

Looking at Concubine Yun's actions, Mu Ziyan secretly sighed at Concubine Yun's alertness. Sure enough, such a woman was undoubtedly Concubine Hui's strongest opponent in the harem.

"Report to the emperor, I believe the murderer must be at this dinner party, I ask the emperor's associate ministers to cross-examine them one by one." Zhang Zong raised his voice to ask for orders.

The emperor was naturally willing, so he replied, "If that's the case, then we will interrogate them one by one."

"Yes." Zhang Zong replied, turned around and mobilized his staff.

Mu Ziyan couldn't help laughing seeing Zhang Zong's high spirits when dealing with murder cases.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "I don't know Mr. Zhang, can you ask someone to do an autopsy?"

Mrs. Zhanghou fainted when she learned that Zhang Yirong was killed, and Master Zhanghou's expression was heavy, but now she was wondering if there was any conspiracy behind it?
Mu Ziyan saw that someone was asking a question at this moment, and the people who were in a mess at the moment also set their eyes on her.

Cui Yunran?
Mu Ziyan looked at Cui Yunran, and saw that she was cold and arrogant from beginning to end, and now she was looking at Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong said in a low voice, "Naturally, but autopsies are always rigorous, and what I have made is only a preliminary judgment. If you want to go into details, you should also invite me to come."

"My little girl heard that there is a maid in Jingzhaoyin's government office. After her autopsy, the murderer can basically be identified." Cui Yunran said lightly.

Mu Ziyan looked at Cui Yunran, the smile at the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper, and then he looked at Zhang Zong, and saw that his face was gloomy. Obviously, Zhang Zong didn't like others mentioning Mrs. Lu at this time.

"Exactly." Zhang Zong replied in a low voice, "This matter has been reported to the court, and she has also obtained the document."

"My little girl knows it, but now that Miss Zhang's death is so miserable, and Master Zhang is only a preliminary autopsy, how can we conclude that the murderer is among us?" Cui Yunran's words undoubtedly stirred up thousands of waves. .

Now everyone began to whisper, obviously quite dissatisfied, but due to the presence of the emperor, they naturally pointed their finger at Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong didn't change his expression, "Miss Cui Er, I must have a reason to handle the case."

"Since this is the case, even if Mr. Zhang wants to investigate someone, he must convince the little girl." Cui Yunran said neither humble nor overbearing.

Cui Yunran's performance just now was undoubtedly astounding, and now seeing her dare to face the stern judge Zhang Zong, everyone couldn't help but feel more fond of Cui Yunran.

Especially the children of those aristocratic families, the way they look at Cui Yunran at this moment is quite wonderful.

Mu Ziyan saw that Zhang Zong was about to suffer a loss, and saw someone coming to report from a distance, Zhang Zong turned around and saluted the emperor respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have already summoned you to come here, if everyone here has any doubts, please You can go to the Plum Garden with me."

"If that's the case, then go with me." The emperor knew about Lady Lu, but he had never seen her for an autopsy, so he went there in person now.

Mu Ziyan followed the crowd to get up, and the group followed the emperor with their heads down, and walked through the corridor into the plum garden.

At this time, Zhang Yirong's body had been put down and was lying flat on the ground at this moment. The emperor stood still, and then sat on the dragon chair, while the others stood behind him one by one.

Seeing Mrs. Lu bowing her head, Zhang Zong first bowed to the emperor, "The daughter of the people sees the emperor."

"You are Mrs. Lu?" The emperor looked at Mrs. Lu, and saw that her face was cold, her appearance was not high-class, but she also had a unique style.

"Minister girl is right." Mrs. Lu replied in a low voice. Although she got the paperwork and could do an autopsy, but because she was a woman and didn't have any official position, she was not a minister.
