Chapter 130 Close to the truth
"Dagger..." Ruan Xiyue picked up the dagger, thought about the wound on Zhuqing's body, then looked at the dagger in front of her and immediately reacted, saying seriously: "Yes, Zhuqing's injury is indeed this one. It was stabbed with a dagger." It's just that someone who hates Zhuqing so much can stab her with a dozen knives all over the face without killing her, it's really venomous.

Seeing Ruan Xiyue's serious expression, Chen Qingya said seriously: "Now, sister Qidi still suspects that I killed that girl?"

"Second sister-in-law, in fact, I have never doubted you. Although the relationship between me and second sister-in-law is somewhat discordant, women are not all nagging, so second sister-in-law doesn't need to take it to heart." The workmanship of the dagger is very fine. If you find the person who made the dagger, you may know who it was sold to.

After hearing what Ruan Xiyue said, Chen Qingya showed a big smile, held Ruan Xiyue's hand and said gently: "That's good, how could I harm that girl, I hope Qidi will soon Find out the real culprit, and give the deceased a peace of mind."

Ruan Xiyue nodded in response, and said, "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. If the murderer is found, Zhuqing will also thank Second Sister-in-law for her help."

"What are you talking about, sister Qidi? After all, we are also half sisters, since it should be like this between sisters." After speaking, Chen Qingya smiled brightly.

After Ruan Xiyue left, Xin'er didn't understand, and asked, "Why did your empress help Princess Yu? Princess Yu used to like to ignore your empress."

"What do you know? If you don't give her these evidences, wouldn't Princess Yu blame this princess if she couldn't find out the truth? I don't believe that she didn't suspect her if she died in the second prince's mansion."

"So that's how it is, this servant is stupid." As she spoke, Xin'er lowered her head.

In the silence, Chen Qingya seemed to have thought of something, so she showed a hint of doubt: "Yes, what about Yushu, why hasn't this concubine seen her come to serve these two days?"

Hearing this, Xin'er said seriously: "Yushu's mother is sick, so I settled the wages with the housekeeper and went back to visit her mother."

"It's a filial child." Since she wanted to go to Prince Yu's Mansion, Chen Qingya would keep Yushu and let her continue to send some false news to Prince Yu's Mansion. It would not do any harm to their Second Prince's Mansion anyway.

After returning to Prince Yu's mansion, Ruan Xiyue immediately went to find Chu Yunfeng. Chu Yunfeng couldn't help being a little surprised. This was the first time Ruan Xiyue asked him to come out on his own initiative, so she immediately asked, "Did something happen?" Didn't he go to the Second Prince's Mansion, why did he come back so soon.

"I went to the second prince's mansion today, and the second princess gave me this thing, saying that her people found it in that yard, that is, the yard where Zhuqing was killed." A little cold, it seems that this matter is gradually approaching the truth, no matter how deep the people behind are hiding, they will catch her by the fox's tail.

After receiving what Ruan Xiyue handed over, Chu Yunfeng carefully inspected the dagger, and then said slowly: "This dagger is exquisitely crafted, and there are gems inlaid on it. You can tell at a glance that it is not something ordinary people can wear. .”

"I'm not asking you to admire how beautiful this dagger is, but I want you to investigate this matter. Even if you can't find the owner of this dagger, you must find out who made this dagger. You should know who it was sold to."

"The totem of this dagger is the totem of the Huns, not your Zhou country." Only Chu Yunfeng said lightly.

Could it be that because of a dagger, Ruan Xiyue had to go to the Huns in person?After thinking of this, I couldn't help but start to feel confused, and opened my lips leisurely in silence: "Then you mean that it was the Huns who killed Zhuqing, but there were no Huns in the Second Prince's Mansion that day except those in the palace and outside the palace." people in it."

"Of course it can't be the Huns. They don't have to come here just to kill a maidservant and expose their whereabouts." Chu Yunfeng glanced at Ruan Xiyue first, and then seemed to think of something , Said: "I remember that the Xiongnu seemed to pay tribute to Zhou Guo some things back then. If I didn't guess the wrong flower, this dagger was one of the tributes."

What was difficult at first became a lot easier after Chu Yunfeng said a few words, and Ruan Xiyue came back to her senses, and after deliberating for a while, she said: "Maybe what you said is right, then I will We should start the investigation from the palace, who exactly gave this dagger to."

"Smart, as long as you know who the owner of the dagger is, then the truth will be revealed unfairly." After finishing speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yunfeng's lips.

Gu Yuxie was helping the emperor with official duties in the palace, and it was already dinner time when he returned to the palace. Seeing Ruan Xiyue in a daze at the table, he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, why did you start to be dazed if you didn't eat well?"

"Ah, the second concubine invited me over today and gave me a dagger. I have read carefully that the dagger was a tribute from the Huns to the state of Zhou. Can you test the meaning of the father? Who did he give this dagger to?"

So Yue'er was worried because of this matter?Thinking about it, Gu Yuxian couldn't help but hooked his lips into a smile, and said sternly: "I thought it was something, since it's like this, of course it's okay, it's good to be able to find out about this matter, lest you look unhappy all day .”

Seeing that Gu Yuxie had already agreed, Ruan Xiyue curled her lips into a smile, revealing a dazzling smile.

The next morning, Gu Yuxian went to the royal study after the morning court. Seeing that he seemed to be worried, the emperor asked, "What's the matter, old seven, do you have anything to say to me?"

"The son is better than the father, but the emperor understands the son." After speaking, Gu Yuxian took out the dagger and said seriously: "This dagger was picked up by chance. It looks like something that the Huns paid tribute to. Know whose it is."

"Didn't I give this dagger to the crown prince back then? At that time, the crown prince hadn't married yet, so how could you be with you?" As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes.

Gu Yuxie just said casually: "I picked it up at the second brother's house to celebrate that day, and today I remembered that I want to ask for Wenwen father, since it belongs to the second brother, then I will give it to the second brother another day. "

"That's okay, actually, Father wants to see that you brothers can share the same hatred with the enemy and fight against the outside world, so that you don't end up on the road of no return one day, understand?"

After hearing the words, Gu Yujian nodded lightly in response, and said seriously: "Father, don't worry, we won't do this."

"His Royal Highness, Prince Yu is here." Gu Yuhong, who was playing chess in the pavilion, couldn't help being stunned when he heard the guard's announcement. Didn't Lao Qi never deal with him before, why did he come here today?Thinking about it, I became a little suspicious.

"Please!" After saying that, he filled a cup of tea.

"Seventh Brother, sit down!" After saying that, he handed over the full cup of tea just now, and gently opened his lips and said, "Why are you here today?"

Gu Yuxian took a sip of tea, explained his purpose in one word, took out the dagger and put it on the table, and said seriously: "Brother, is this dagger yours?"

"That's right, where's the scabbard?" He asked suspiciously as he spoke.

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Gu Yuxian's expression became more serious, but he quickly returned to his usual haste and calmness, and said seriously: "I picked this up. When I got it, it was already If there is no scabbard, since it belongs to the second brother, it is better to return it to the second brother."

"Thank you, Seventh Brother." Seeing Gu Yuxian turning around to leave, Gu Yuhong said: "Seventh Brother, won't you stay for dinner?"

"No, thank you big brother for your kindness." After speaking, Gu Yuxian left the East Palace.

Hearing that Prince Yu was here, Qin Yuyan rushed over, and was relieved when she saw that the person had already left.From a distance, he saw Gu Yuhong playing chess alone, so he walked over slowly, and said softly, "Your Highness, why don't you let your concubine accompany you when you play chess alone?"

"I gave this dagger to you when we got married, but today it was returned to me by my seventh brother. Yuyan, what's going on? Why is the dagger in the hands of my seventh brother?" Gu Yuhong is not a good deceiver. People must know the truth now.

After seeing the dagger, Qin Yuyan's expression immediately became flustered. She remembered killing Zhuqing and throwing the dagger into the water. How could she be here now?Thinking about it, I couldn't make up my mind.

After getting along with Qin Yuyan for so long, Gu Yuhong watched her every move, and immediately said displeasedly: "Yuyan, you are a kind woman, and you will never tell lies to me. , tell me what is going on, what are you doing with this dagger?"

Qin Yuyan pondered in her heart for a while, then she became serious, and said innocently: "So I found this dagger. A few days ago we went to the Second Prince's Mansion for a banquet and there was nothing left. Fortunately, we found it. The dagger was given to the concubine by His Highness, and the concubine was just worried that if he told His Highness that the dagger was lost, His Highness would be unhappy."

"It turned out to be like this. It's just a dagger. If you lose it, you lose it. There's nothing wrong with it." After speaking, Gu Yuhong's heart sank, and then he said slowly: "Yu Yan , no matter what it is in the future, you can no longer hide it from me, you know?"

Qin Yuyan nodded in response, and said obediently: "The concubine knows, and the concubine will never hide His Highness again." As soon as Zhuqing dies, no one will know about His Highness's affairs. After thinking of this, I couldn't help but relax a bit. Tone, there is nothing wrong with her approach.
