Chapter 210
Feng Xihe held the ear chain and said: "Since the seventh princess is not the red coral torn from my concubine's ear, and there is just one piece missing from the ear chain, can this concubine think that after I get the ear chain? Someone already took down a red coral?"

Xiaomei Yun's heart trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyelashes and said: "After I go back, I must find out who took the red coral and put it in the hands of the Seventh Princess."

Feng Xihe laughed, "However, a gift like His Majesty's is still a tribute, and it should be very precious to the empress, and I believe it is not something that anyone can touch."

"Whether you did it on purpose, Empress Yunbin, or was it stolen by someone with ulterior motives, maybe only you, Empress, know."

Yun Xiaomei turned her eyes away, and said angrily in a deep voice: "Princess Yu, from what you mean, are you doubting me?"

"Of course not." Feng Xihe distanced herself from her, "Benfei just mentioned one of the possibilities."

As she spoke, she walked up to Gu Linlang's dead body, looked at Gu Linlang's cheek, and asked Ah Ci: "You said that His Royal Highness the Seventh Princess came out to play chess with my concubine, and then, when we two had a conflict, this concubine took her away." killed?"

Ah Ci rolled his eyeballs, nodded and said, "That's right."

Feng Xihe said again: "Are you sure what you saw was Her Highness the Seventh Princess herself?"

Ah Ci bit her lower lip, and said: "At night, it's darker, the servants and servants probably judged from their backs that it belonged to His Royal Highness Seventh Princess."

"Axi, do you think so?"

Ash nodded desperately.

"Bold, since you only saw a figure from the back, why did you keep saying that you saw Her Highness the Seventh Princess herself!" Feng Xihe said coldly.

Her eyes scanned a row of footprints on the ground, among them, the ones covered by snow were left earlier.

Feng Xihe went over and picked up a wooden stick to mark out the area, "This row of footprints should have existed before our arrival, maybe it was left by the seventh princess you saw."

"But what you see is the back, which is not enough to confirm that it is the Seventh Princess herself. Therefore, the identity of that person needs to be confirmed again."

After speaking, Feng Xihe raised his head, and said to Ah Xi: "Go and find some personal maids who serve His Royal Highness the Seventh Princess."

"Princess Yu, this servant has served Her Royal Highness Seventh Princess before, and she is quite familiar with them, so you can go there!" Ah Ci actively recommended himself.

Feng Xihe gave her a sideways look, "My concubine didn't agree with you, so you just stay here and don't go anywhere."

After all, Ah Xi got up, Zhao Chu frowned, and strode forward, "Princess Yu, Ah Ci has taken care of His Royal Highness Seventh Princess, do you still suspect that she misunderstood the master?"

"This concubine is just for the sake of caution, and I need to be more sure." Feng Xihe said calmly, "What? Master Zhao, do you have an opinion?"

Gu Shiyin walked up to Zhao Chu, closed the fan with a broken bamboo joint, and hit the palm of his hand one by one.

"Marquis Zhao, I think you should give way."

Zhao Chu was furious, but when he saw groups of cavalry approaching, he retreated.

Gu Zhun asked a few people to protect Ah Xi to find someone.

It didn't take long for Ah Xi to find a few court ladies, who had stayed by Gu Linlang's side for a long time.

Feng Xihe beckoned, "Come here."

Several court ladies walked over with their heads down, Feng Xihe said to them: "Usually, do you still remember the way Princess Seven walks?"

"Probably I can still remember." The maids nodded one by one.

"Okay then, you can imitate the walking posture of Princess Seven and walk around in the snow." Feng Xihe made way for them.

The maids lowered their heads, and after reminiscing for a while, they stepped on the thick white snow one by one, imitating Gu Linlang's usual walking appearance, and stepped on the snow one by one.

After each of them had finished walking, Feng Xihe went to Emperor Changde to bless him, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Then, she walked in front of Gu Jincheng, smiled and said, "Your Highness the Second Prince, you might as well take a look."

Everyone gathered around the footprints left by the maids, only to hear Feng Xihe pointing to the rows of footprints, and said slowly: "These are the maids next to the Seventh Princess, although the imitated walking posture cannot be exactly like the Seventh Princess. The same, but it can be regarded as eight or nine is not far from ten."

"You can see that Princess Seven's walking habits are a little bit outward. If the back that Ah Ci saw just now is indeed Princess Seven, then the footprints here should be in a figure-eight shape that spreads outward, just like the few of them. That's all that's left."

Feng Xihe pointed to the previous footprints again, "And the footprints left by the seventh princess that Ah Ci saw were in the shape of a splayed figure. Isn't this strange?"

"If it's really the Seventh Princess, she doesn't need to change the way she walks."

Everyone looked over and felt that it was really what Feng Xihe said.

Zhao Chu's eyes darkened, and he glared at Ah Ci.

Ah Ci rolled his eyes and pulled Ah Xi over, "Ah Xi, be honest, did someone bribe you, otherwise, what happened to the Seventh Princess that the two of us saw with our own eyes?"

Ah Xi was confused, and kept saying that he didn't know anything.

Ah Ci knelt down in front of Emperor Changde again, crying: "Your Majesty, everything this servant said is true, the death of the Seventh Princess must be found out!"

"Isn't our lady looking for the real culprit?" Qian Yun stepped forward angrily, and then said: "You said that those court ladies were bribed, could it be that you want to say that our lady knew that the seventh princess would die, and then , she came here on purpose again, she has nothing to do when she is full, and plays such a trick with you?"

Ah Ci choked up, tears in his eyes, he hesitated and said: "But, there is no one else here except Princess Yu and you."

"Miss Ah Ci, please don't confuse the public." Feng Xihe's eyes flickered, she cleared her throat, and said, "I have verified it just now. To a large extent, it is not the Seventh Princess herself."

"Then, in this way, it is very likely that someone deliberately killed the seventh princess and buried her here. Then, arrange a substitute to lure the two maids over, and let them witness the truth of the matter while the concubine is here. This concubine killed someone."

"However, when the servant girl came, the blood on the snow hadn't dried up, so it can be seen that the Seventh Princess has not been dead for a long time." Ah Ci was terrified.

Wu Zuo also performed an autopsy on Gu Linlang again, and deduced that the time of death was just before a stick of incense.

Feng Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, "Since people can be fake, so can the bloodstains. The bloodstains on the snow may not belong to the seventh princess, and if my concubine stuffed a chess piece into the seventh princess's throat, what would she do?" Will it bleed so much?"

"As for the time of her death..."

Feng Xihe said while turning his head to look at Gu Shiyin.

Gu Shiyin walked up to Gu Linlang's corpse, bent down, picked up a chess piece, and then turned to Feng Xi and said: "You go to the room to warm up first, and leave this to the king."

Two dimples appeared on the side of Feng Xihe's cheeks, and he whispered softly: "The concubine should wait for the prince to go back together."

The trust in Gu Shiyin was revealed in her eyes, which made Gu Jincheng very uncomfortable.

Gu Shiyin twirled the chess piece, exerted a little force with his fingertips, and the crystal clear chess piece instantly turned into powder and fell on the snow.

However, in the powder, there are some black powder mixed with it, as well as a swill-like liquid that oozes out, which is disgusting to see.

Gu Shiyin took the handkerchief from Feng Xi and handed it over, and wiped his fingers in disgust.

"Someone did put a chess piece in the mouth of the seventh niece, causing her to suffocate to death. However, among the chess pieces, someone put them into Miao Jiang's Fanghua Moment."

"This kind of thing can keep the corpse fresh for a period of time and keep the appearance unchanged. It looks like it just died not long ago. Even the autopsy may not be able to distinguish clearly."

"On the battlefield, when transporting the corpses of sacrificed soldiers back to their hometowns, this kind of thing is often used to ensure that the corpses do not rot."

"That person mixed Fanghua Shisuna into the chess piece, so it can be seen that he had killed the seventh niece long ago, and then pretended to be dead, obviously intending to clear the suspicion and at the same time put the blame on the king's concubine. .”

"As for who killed the seventh niece, neither the king nor the concubine is interested in knowing, and has no obligation to investigate, so please ask your majesty to make the people in the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple work harder."

After finishing speaking, Gu Shiyin held Feng Xihe's hand, "Lady, let's go."

Feng Xihe nodded with a smile.

"Wait a minute!" Emperor Changde frowned, looked at Feng Xihe squarely, and muttered, "Then who do you think killed Lin Lang?"

"I want to know who has such a big enmity with Lin Lang and insists on putting her to death! I will never let you go lightly!"

"And you, tell me, what else do you know?" His eyes were tightly locked on Ah Ci, showing a sharpness, Ah Ci couldn't help shivering, "Slaves...slaves really don't know anything. It's..."

When Xiaomei Yun heard this, she couldn't help shivering.

Feng Xihe's eyes turned to Yun Xiaomei and Zhao Chu, and said, "I'm going to ask Mrs. Yun and Lord Zhao. The earrings were given to my concubines by Mrs. Yun. I played chess just now, and it was Mrs. Zhao. Master invited his concubine to come over."

"Maybe, if you ask the two of them, you will understand better."

Emperor Changde's eyes immediately focused on Yun Xiaomei and Zhao Chu.

Yun Xiaomei lowered her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have not been in the harem for long, and they have never met the Seventh Princess. Perhaps someone with a heart took a red coral from the ear chain to make a fuss. When the concubines go back, they must be judged one by one. come over!"

Zhao Chu bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't meet the Seventh Princess very often. It turned out that she was going to recruit the third younger brother of the Weichen to be her son-in-law. It's a pity that later, after something happened, this matter will come to an end." give up."

"Even if the minister does not get along with Princess Yu, there is no need to blame Princess Yu for the death of the Seventh Princess. Otherwise, even if the minister has ten heads, it is not enough to chop off."
