First-class daughter

Chapter 397 Identifying the Murderer
Chapter 397 Identifying the Murderer
This person is the eldest daughter of the Lianxiang Mansion, a well-known person in the circle of aristocrats in Kyoto, and also a person whom Princess An Guo loves. Princess An Guo has praised her several times in public, but now she dares to murder the emperor. How could this be?
"Fourth brother, how could Cousin Yue'er do such a thing, did you make a mistake?" Feng Tangyao asked in surprise.

However, his evidence was so convincing that it seemed irrefutable and impossible to refute, and this Lian Siyue was bound to be convicted of murdering the emperor.

Concubine Shu almost fainted, but when she thought about it, she and Yue'er were on the same boat. If Yue'er was really convicted of murdering the emperor, it would be the crime of killing the nine clans. Unable to escape, she grabbed Lian Siyue's sleeve and asked in a low voice:

"Yue'er, please explain quickly."

The Empress Dowager frowned, staring closely at the girl who looked a little weak, and asked, "Lian Siyue, what Qianyue said is reasonable, how do you explain it?"

The emperor looked at Lian Siyue with sharp weapon-like eyes, his majestic eyes narrowed slightly, overflowing with a dangerous light, thinking to himself:

——Is Lian Siyue taking risks in order to reject the holy will?
The pain in his calf reminded him that his dignity as a king cannot be challenged, and someone must pay the price for the injury he suffered today, otherwise his dignity as an emperor would be lost.

Through the crowd, Feng Yunzheng's cold and deep eyes fell on Emperor Zhou Cheng——

Lian Siyue blinked her foggy starry eyes, and said, "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty's lesson is clear, this servant girl has absolutely no intention of murdering the Holy Majesty, nor the reality of murdering the Holy Majesty." Because of choking on water, her voice sounded faint A little weak, but his tone was extremely firm, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that the maid told you immediately after she found the cabin flooded, and then immediately ran out of the boat to call for help with the boatman, if the maid is really If you want to murder the emperor, why bother? Kekeke..." After finishing speaking, she seemed to be out of breath, covered her lips, and coughed a few times, her pale face turned red, no one would He couldn't feel the icy coldness in the corner of her eyes.

Emperor Zhou Cheng was slightly stunned. He recalled the situation at that time, and it was indeed as she said. She was very panicked at that time, and she rushed outside to call for help. The anxious and frightened appearance was a natural reaction of a 14-year-old child.

Concubine Shu also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what Yue'er said is very reasonable. Even the ancestors of the family are deeply favored by the Emperor and enjoy the glory and wealth. It is really unreasonable to harm the Emperor."

"Maybe she did it deliberately to deceive people." Feng Qianyue looked at Lian Siyue's pretending to be weak, and said in a cold voice.

A sad look appeared on Lian Siyue's face, she looked at Feng Qianyue sadly, shed two lines of tears, and said——

"I don't know where I have offended the fourth highness, so that your highness wants to frame me again and again. Obviously, obviously, I fell into the lake with the emperor, and I was also the one who was hurt. The fourth highness is not To investigate the real reason, but hold on to me tightly..."

Feng Qianyue's eyes turned cold, and he said unhappily, "Lian Siyue, don't talk nonsense, this king has no grievances with you, why did you say that you deliberately framed him? This king just didn't want his father to be deceived, so he secretly investigated The truth, now tell Father the truth that I know, and ask Father to decide."

Hehehe!
What a good one without grievances!
Feng Qianyue, what you said is really easy!
Lian Siyue looked at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, gentlemen, Your Highness's analysis suddenly sounds reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it is actually full of loopholes.

First of all, because Concubine Shu and the thirteenth princess got off the boat first, there were only the courtiers and the emperor on board. If something happened to the emperor, the courtiers must be involved. Murdering the emperor is a serious crime against the nine clans. The courtiers are timid and spare their lives. , but dare not do such a thing.

My father, Lian Yanqing, was the prime minister of the dynasty, my aunt was the emperor's favorite concubine, my second uncle was from official to minister, and my fourth uncle was stationed at the border for the emperor. The reason for murdering the emperor for the crime of beheading, the queen mother and the emperor let me decide. "

The Queen Mother listened, nodded, and said, "Emperor, what Lian Siyue said is indeed somewhat reasonable."

"Lian Siyue, then how do you explain the analysis of the king above?" Feng Qianyue asked again, no matter how Lian Siyue struggled, as long as he seized this moment, she would have no way to escape.

Lian Siyue sighed helplessly, with deep disappointment in his eyes, and said, "The Fourth Highness kept saying that I carved out the six holes on the board with knives or other sharp tools, so I would like to ask Your Highness, What about the knives and sharps you speak of?"

"You won't be so stupid to keep the tools on your body, then there is only one possibility, you throw the tools into the lake after digging six holes." Feng Qianyue looked at Lian Siyue firmly, he The reason why he was so calm this time was because he saw her quietly throwing the knife into Quehu Lake when he was on the shore.

Finally came here, this is the step Feng Qianyue was looking forward to the most, Lian Siyue suddenly seemed very excited, she stood up abruptly, her face flushed, a look of panic flashed across her face, said, "Fourth Highness, you, don't you want to spit blood on people, do you want me to show my ambition with death?"

"Lian Siyue, why are you nervous, this king just wants to catch the real culprit who murdered the emperor, in front of the emperor, in the inner garden of the palace, no one is allowed to make trouble!" Feng Qianyue stared at Lian Siyue closely, and scolded.

"I, I'm not nervous, because I didn't do that at all." Lian Siyue retorted hastily.

"Plop..." At this time, one of the maids who helped Lian Siyue in just now suddenly knelt on the ground, "The emperor spares my life, the empress dowager, please forgive me—"

Seeing Concubine Shu, she said, "Bold Huizhi, why are you doing this? The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are here, how can you be presumptuous!"

But that Huizhi didn't listen to Concubine Shu's words. Instead, she lay on the ground, kowtowed and cried, "This servant deserves death. When I was on the shore, I accidentally saw Miss Lian and threw a dagger. After entering the lake, the servant felt a little strange, but didn't think too much about it, now that the servant has heard what His Royal Highness said, he understands what's going on, the emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin."

Huizhi said, sobbing and crying, Lian Siyue quietly watched her crying heartbroken, keeping her face, Huizhi's eyes flickered, avoiding Lian Siyue's gaze.

"What?" Concubine Shu was shocked, "Huizhi, this is a serious matter, you must not talk nonsense, this is a serious crime of beheading!"

Huizhi wept and said, "Your Majesty, because of the seriousness of this matter, I dare not speak nonsense."

Now, another court lady next to Concubine Shu came out to testify against Lian Siyue, so she was almost identified as the murderer.
