The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 209 Innocent, Who Cares?
When Emperor Changde saw Gu Linlang's body, he couldn't help feeling angry. He looked up, as if trying to find the murderer among the crowd present.

And the direction everyone looked at already explained everything.

Feng Xihe stood comfortably, in the snowstorm, waiting for Wu Zuo to come for the autopsy and tell Gu Linlang's cause of death.

"You killed Lin Lang?" Emperor Changde frowned slightly, and the eunuch beside him put a bright yellow thick cloak on him to keep out the cold.

No matter how unruly and willful Gu Linlang was, she didn't have too much scheming. For many years, she had been held in his hands, so she couldn't tolerate being killed at will.

"Your Majesty, no." Feng Xihe said truthfully: "The concubine is free and has nothing to do. I came here to meet Lord Zhao Hou, who insisted on playing a game of chess with the concubine. Then, he lost and left. Next, these two court ladies came over and inexplicably found the body of the Seventh Princess, and identified the concubine as the murderer."

Emperor Changde turned his eyes and asked Ah Ci: "You guys found the body of the Seventh Princess?"

Ah Ci nodded, repeated what he said just now, and insisted that he did not see Zhao Chu.

Ah Xi also echoed Ah Ci's words.

Not long after, Wu Zuo arrived here. After the autopsy on Gu Linlang, he used tweezers to take out the finely divided chess pieces from Gu Linlang's throat. The shapes and particles were no different from those scattered in the pavilion.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess was forcibly stuffed with a large number of chess pieces from her mouth, resulting in shortness of breath and her death."

After the words fell, everyone saw Feng Xihe, and there was a little more suspicion in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess is holding something in her hand?" Wu Zuo took out a bead as bright red as blood from Gu Linlang's palm, and sent it to Emperor Changde.

Emperor Changde took a closer look and found that it was a red coral.

Yun Xiaomei covered her lips in surprise, and Emperor Changde turned his head to ask, only to hear her say: "Your Majesty, do you remember that a few months ago, you rewarded your concubine with a pair of tributes from Linyao Kingdom?" Red coral earrings?"

Emperor Changde recalled carefully, and remembered that there was such a thing.

I only heard Xiaomei Yun continue to say: "After the banquet tonight, the concubine gave it to Princess Yu as a token of her affection. But now, it appears in the hands of the Seventh Princess. Could it be... is it really Princess Yu?" ..."

She spoke with a frightened look on her face.

Zhao Chulang said in a loud voice: "Princess Yu, I remember that you have a bit of martial arts background, if you want to deal with the seventh princess, a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken, it is more than enough."

"Benhou guesses, could it be that when you murdered the Seventh Princess, Princess Yu, she grabbed a red coral from your earrings, and you dragged her there to bury her in a hurry without noticing it."

Zhao Chu looked at Feng Xihe's right earlobe, and seeing Feng Xihe raised his hand to cover his left ear, he said, "Princess Yu, should you take out both of your earrings and let everyone Take a look, is there really a red coral missing?"

"I believe His Highness the Second Prince thinks the same way."

After listening, Gu Jincheng thought about it for a while, and he looked at Feng Xihe with more inquiring eyes, "Princess Yu, how are you going to explain to your father, or what do you want to do when you say you are innocent?" Prove your innocence?"

Feng Xihe's eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped on the white snow dotted with cold plum blossoms.

"Innocence is proved to those who care about me. Among you, who cares about my innocence?"

She didn't even look at Gu Jincheng, and Gu Jincheng felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, Gu Shiyin slowly walked over from a distance, his face darkened, and he stared and said: "Who said that the princess of this king killed the seventh princess?"

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

Gu Shiyin turned his head and asked Feng Xihe.

Feng Xihe pointed out everyone except Emperor Changde.

"You stand behind the king first."

After the words fell, Feng Xihe obediently stood behind him.

I saw Gu Shiyin waving his bamboo-boned folding fan, and said with a smile on his lips, "Don't say she didn't kill people. Even if she did, this king will agree."

"I left my words here today. In the future, don't bother with her about such trivial things as murder and arson. If you really want to read it, then come to me, and I will give you an explanation."

"Your Majesty, do you think so?" Gu Shiyin's eyes turned to Emperor Changde's face.

Emperor Changde's face was a little ugly, and he coughed lightly.

Gu Jincheng looked sideways and said, "Uncle Yuhuang, but today, it was my sister who died, but she is your niece. Don't you care?"

Gu Shiyin thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows slightly, "I have quite a lot of nieces, but there is only one lady, so it's more cost-effective to have a lady."

Zhao Chu then said: "Prince Yu, you cover up the murderer in public. If you say this, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of all the people in the world. How can you make the generals continue to believe in you?"

He didn't believe that if news spread that Feng Xihe had killed Gu Linlang, but Gu Shiyin deliberately covered it up, those generals would not have suspicions in their hearts.

"It's my king's business to make a huge mess, so don't bother Master Zhao." Gu Shiyin still didn't take their words to heart.

And Feng Xihe grabbed his sleeve and said, "My lord, I think I still need to make it clear to them, lest they say you are bullying others."

Gu Shiyin nodded slightly, letting Feng Xihe come out from behind him, with a smile in his twinkling phoenix eyes.

Feng Xi went there calmly, staring at little sister Yun, "Just now, Mrs. Yun, you said that you gave this concubine the red coral earrings. This is indeed true. At that time, many people present I see."

"But, Empress Yun, I would like to ask you first, the red coral earring on my right ear was put on by you, right?"

"That's true." Yun Xiaomei nodded.

Feng Xi and Fu asked again: "This pair of red coral earrings is divided into left and right ears. Since you put it on my concubine, my concubine has never taken it off, right?"

"Do you still remember how many red coral beads are on each earring?"

Yun Xiaomei thought for a while, and recalled: "If I remember correctly, there are seven red corals on each earring. But now, Princess Seven has one in her hand, and your other earring has seven red corals. , there should be only six red corals left."

"Miss Yunbi, what do you mean, that this concubine murdered the seventh princess while wearing the red coral earrings, and then the seventh princess grabbed a red coral from my concubine's left ear. Wait for this concubine After finding out that one piece of red coral was missing, the person was already buried, so this concubine hid the other earring?"

Xiaomei Yun thought carefully, and it sounded like what they were thinking, but she always felt that something was weird.

After a while, she raised her eyes, "Princess Yu, please, take out the other red coral earring and let everyone see if there are only six red corals."

Feng Xihe didn't refuse this time, she opened her palm slowly, and the earring that was supposed to be on her left ear was now lying on her palm.

The six bright red corals on the ear chains were like blood, no different from the one Gu Linlang was holding.

Zhao Chu's eyes brightened, and he said coldly, "Princess Yu, are you admitting that you killed the Seventh Princess?"

"Your generous attitude of admitting your mistakes may make His Majesty forgive you and give you a lighter sentence."

He also took a special look at Gu Shiyin, only to feel that this time, even Gu Shiyin would not be able to protect her.

Feng Xihe looked away indifferently, "Marquis Zhao, this concubine just obeyed the order of Empress Yun, and took out the left earring for everyone to have a look at, not to say that this concubine has confessed to murder."

Zhao Chu said coldly: "Now that the evidence of the crime is convincing, why do you still want to make excuses?"

Gu Jincheng's warm eyes turned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Everyone, there is something that I need to explain to you. This concubine has been afraid of pain since she was a child. Back then, when her mother pierced my concubine's ear, she only wore one right ear. This concubine couldn't bear the pain, and she didn't want to do it again. Wear the left ear."

"Since then, my mother has persuaded my concubine many times, but until my mother passed away, my concubine was never willing to wear her left ear, and no one wanted to pierc her ear. Therefore, this concubine usually does not wear earrings. .”

"Even if you have to wear it, you will only choose earrings, earrings that don't need ear holes."

When Feng Xihe said this, he slowly took off his cloak, completely exposing his left ear. When everyone looked carefully, they found that there was indeed no piercing in her left ear.

"So, Empress Yunpin, the possibility you just thought is not true at all, because my concubine can't wear the earrings on the left ear at all, and how did the seventh princess slip from my concubine's left ear while struggling? Tear off the red coral?"

"Shouldn't this concubine take out the earrings by herself and hand them to her to pull?"

Feng Xihe's heart was filled with embarrassment. Back then, she really shouldn't have rejected her mother, so that after her mother passed away, no one could pierce her ears anymore.

Compared with the pain in the previous life, the little pain in childhood is nothing.

Gu Shiyin's eyes gradually darkened, staring at her ears, the smile on his lips disappeared.

He felt that Feng Xihe now was very different from what he saw eight years ago.He really wanted to know what had happened for such a long time to make such a big change in her whole person.

Yun Xiaomei's face was pale, and ear piercing is a process that every woman must go through. Just now, she saw that Feng Xihe's right ear had a hole, so she took it for granted that Feng Xihe's left ear should also be pierced. It has ear holes.

However, she did not expect that this would be the case.

"Miss Yunbi!" Feng Xihe then turned his head and smiled at Yun Xiaomei: "Now, this concubine is free from the suspicion of murdering the seventh princess, so why don't we come and find out whether the seventh princess died of Whose hand."

Yun Xiaomei's eyes were in a trance, and she lowered her eyes and said, "How does Princess Yu want to investigate?"
