Distressed wife

Chapter 188 The Death of Yi Rong (4)
Zhang Zong saw that now everyone was pointing all the blame at Mu Ziyan. He looked at Mu Ziyan and saw that her expression was calm, without any fear or panic. He knew that Mu Ziyan would not do such a thing. As a matter of fact, if she really wanted to kill someone, she wouldn't do it so deliberately, or be stupid.

Qi Xuan was about to step forward to defend himself, but when he saw the look Mu Ziyan gave him, he immediately stood there and remained silent.

The emperor saw that everyone was so talkative, his expression darkened, "Miss Mu, how do you explain this matter?"

Mu Ziyan immediately saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, although my servant is at odds with Cousin Yirong, she doesn't have the intention to kill anyone, and today is a day of great joy. I won't do such a blind thing, let alone leave a clue."

Mu Ziyan said lightly, this sounded like an excuse, but it was insinuating that these people who made noises were blind. When everyone reacted, Mu Ziyan continued to argue, "Even if the courtiers have The motive for the murder, then, we must find the murderer, who will the murderer be? At that time, the courtiers and daughters were not the only ones who left the banquet."

Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and coldly glanced at the expressions of the crowd, remembering the footsteps she heard when she came back from the path, and then set her eyes on Leng Hanfeng.

Seeing Mu Ziyan looking at him, Leng Hanfeng felt inexplicably happy, but there was no joy on his face, and he calmly let her watch.

She already had a plan in her mind, and then she said, "Since sister Yirong secretly communicated the song with someone, then this person must be among you, do you remember who left the banquet at that time?"

Zhang Zong saw that Mu Ziyan turned the words away, and quickly responded, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the dignity of the royal family. Someone dared to commit murder tonight, and even deliberately hung Miss Zhang's body in the plum garden. It is really ulterior motives." , Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and your ministers, please interrogate them one by one."

Hearing what Zhang Zong said, the emperor's eyes were cold and his face was condensed, "With me here, whoever dares to say one more word will be murdered and executed immediately."

"Yes." Zhang Zong replied quickly, then raised his eyes and set his eyes on Cui Yunran.

Cui Yunran, however, showed no sign of fear, and greeted him calmly, then turned his eyes to look at Mu Ziyan meaningfully.

Mu Ziyan saw that Cui Yunran was fighting with her tonight, and knew that she and Mu Zijing had a very good relationship, and Cui Shi was also very good to her, presumably, she was here for the dead Cui Shi and locked up in the family temple. Mu Zijing vented her anger.

Mu Lingxuan turned around and looked at Mu Lingrui beside him, as if thinking of something, his eyes sank, but at this moment, he still had to take care of the face of Muhou Mansion, he raised his eyes to look at Mu Ziyan.

Mu Ziyan naturally understood the meaning of Mu Lingxuan's eyes. She raised her eyes and stared at Mu Lingrui for a while, then turned her eyes to look at the old lady at the side, and then looked not far away at Ming, who had been unusually quiet all along. Princess Ann.

And Princess Ming'an saw someone looking at her at this moment, she met the gaze, and after seeing who it was, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and then looked away, it seemed that she had overlooked something.

Lady Lu turned around and checked again, and found a clue on the edge of Zhang Yirong's skirt.

"What is this?" Lady Lu put a white bead-shaped thing on the skirt in her palm, and then looked at Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong looked carefully, but saw the maid standing behind him stepping forward, "These are insects that grow on the lotus leaves by the lotus pond, and they only appear in these few days."

"Lotus pond?" Zhang Zong was taken aback for a moment, and then led the people to the lotus pond.

At this time, everyone's eyes once again fell on Mu Ziyan.

Cui Yunran sneered, "All the strange things tonight seem to be related to Miss Mu. It seems that Miss Mu was also there when the lotus pond fell into the water."

Mu Ziyan smiled lowly, she was not only present, she was also a participant.

At this moment, Su Qinrou couldn't bear it anymore, and looked up at Cui Yunran angrily, "Cui Yunran, I was there at that time, do you think I'm also suspected?"

"That's right, I'm also there." Hou Yiyi also echoed.

Cui Yunran looked at the two of them, "It's really going downhill. Aren't you two at odds with Miss Mu? How come you are so good today? Miss Mu's method of attracting people is really excellent .”

This insinuating remark aroused the suspicion of everyone. People, once their own interests are involved, they always want to put themselves aside. Naturally, they will be able to extend a lot of what they think they think. The truth comes.

Could it be that the lotus pond slipped into the water, and it was a bitter trick deliberately played by Miss Mu in order to win people's hearts?

Of course Hou Yiyi and Su Qinrou knew the truth of the matter, now hearing what Cui Yunran said, Su Qinrou was so angry that she said, "Don't talk nonsense, everyone knows what kind of person Sister Mu is, but they don't know, Why do you, Second Miss Cui, insist on biting Sister Mu, I remember that when you entered the palace today, you had a quarrel with Miss Zhang."

Su Qinrou snorted contemptuously, "Second Miss Cui, in this way, you are also suspected of murder."

"You..." Cui Yunran glared at Su Qinrou, then sneered, "I'm just talking about the facts."

"Your Majesty, Sister Su is very straightforward, and I hope that the Emperor will not blame you." Mu Ziyan turned around and saw that the emperor's face was getting colder, she quickly saluted.

When Su Qinrou heard it, she also knelt down, "Your majesty, my servant..."

"It's really the young lady of the family." The emperor said coldly, the words contained a strong sense of warning.

When Master Cui and Lord Su heard this, they quickly knelt down, "It doesn't matter if you are the minister's daughter."

Now everyone also hurriedly knelt down, not daring to make a sound.

"Okay, let's get back together." The emperor said in a deep voice, the matter of tonight must be found out, otherwise, if this matter is exaggerated, it will be extremely detrimental to the twelve princes.

Mu Ziyan got up with everyone, and saw Zhang Zong and Mrs. Lu rushing back.

Lady Lu also saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, beside the lotus pond is the murder scene where Miss Zhang was killed."

"Have you found anything?" The emperor said in a deep voice.

"I found this." Mrs. Lu presented a token in her hand.

Eunuch Ming stepped forward to take it, and after careful identification, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is the token of the Imperial Forest Army."
