Chapter six hundred and fifth capital crime
Liu Yunxiang was not in a hurry and went back to the house for a sleep. She got up and went over after Zijin woke her up and said it was the queen.
It was about to dawn, and morning mist covered the garden, deserted and cold.
Jingshui Pavilion was surrounded by the officials from Jingzhao Mansion. The housekeeper was waiting outside anxiously. When he saw her coming, he hurried forward: "Princess, the officials from Jingzhao Mansion were brought by the queen, so we can't stop him."
Liu Yunxiang sneered: "It is appropriate to use the government for a murder case."
The queen made up her mind and planned to send her to prison.
"Your Highness is not in the mansion, should you go into the palace to find him?"
“No need.”
Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief. If he was present and the performance was not in place, the queen would probably have the disaster on him.
After entering the yard, the queen stood in front of the door of the main room with a solemn expression. When she saw her coming in, her eyes suddenly fixed on her body, becoming sharper and sharper, and she was faintly proud.
She felt that she was sure to win this game.
When Liu Yunxiang went in, she found out that the queen not only brought the officials from Jingzhao Mansion, but also brought several wives from aristocratic families, and of course, Jiang Yunying was indispensable.
Yuan Qingyue was born into one of the eighth-generation families, and the eighth-generation families have always been in the same mood. The queen brought these wives of the aristocratic families to make them decide for Yuan Qingyue and seek justice from her. Sure enough, as soon as she came in, these people looked at her with hatred in their eyes.
Liu Yunxiang nodded to them one by one without any politeness, and then walked to the queen and saluted her.
The queen snorted coldly, "The concubine in your mansion was poisoned, we have come from all the way, why did you come at this time?"
Liu Yunxiang yawned and said, "It's not dawn yet, I just woke up."
"This is the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. You are the Princess of Zhenbei and the director of the Zhongfu. Now that something big has happened in the mansion, do you still have the heart to sleep?"
"Yes, something happened in my mansion. I can still rest assured. I don't expect you to have no intention of sleeping."
"What is the princess saying? When we learned that Qingyue was poisoned, we aunts could not sleep. There was no one in Chang's mansion, but with our major families here, we must not seek justice for Qingyue!"
The person who said this was Mrs. Feng, the wife of Zhongyongbo. She was the sister-in-law of the second wife of the Marquis' Mansion in Jing'an. After the second wife went crazy, the Mrs. Feng also went to the Marquis' Mansion and scolded her under the instigation of the old lady.
Later, the second wife passed away. Their Zhongyong Bo Mansion came to the Hou Mansion to cause trouble and wanted to tie her up and attend the funeral of the second wife. She did not resist and stretched out her hand to let them tie her up.
"Along the way, I will spread the story of my second wife's life, and then I may not be able to hold my face!"
In order to save the second master, the old lady and the second lady forced her to commit suicide. In the end, they were insulted by the beggars and were somewhat aware of this. The second lady was born in the Zhongyong Bo Mansion. Once these scandals were spread, their mansion would be embarrassing, and they were embarrassed at the moment and didn't dare to care about it anymore.
Later, Yan Mu found out about this and found a reason to call Uncle Zhongyong to the West Factory to see the world well. After hearing that Uncle Zhongyong came out of the West Factory and went to the ground with a soft spot. He had been sick for half a month before he recovered.
Feng had a grudge against her, and when he caught the opportunity to step on her, he was the first to emerge.
Liu Yunxiang turned around and glanced at Feng, and then looked at the person behind her. There was the wife of Duke Zhenguo. This man was solemn and could not guess. Next to her was Mrs. Duke Yang. She was in poor health. The third wife next to her was holding her. The third wife Cheng looked at her and then lowered her eyes, obviously not wanting to appear. There were several other wives, most of whom were younger generations, which shows that the eighth-generation family had withered and no longer had the grand occasion of the past.
Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Feng and sighed: "Yes, Yuan is still pregnant, who is so cruel to poison her!"
Seeing Liu Yunxiang's heartbroken look, the queen snorted coldly: "I used to send Concubine Yuan back to the house, but the princess was in dilemma. Now she has lost her children. I wonder if the prince's house is satisfied?"
"Empress, I'm wronged, I'm very sad!" Liu Yunxiang said, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Isn’t it just to act? As long as she doesn’t disgust, the one that disguses is someone else.
Sure enough, the queen's face turned blue when she saw her like this.
"Princess, the concubine Yuan is pregnant with the imperial heir. The poisoned person may be jealous of the concubine Yuan, but poisoning the imperial heir is a death sentence." Jiang Yunying looked at Liu Yunxiang. At this time, she was standing next to the queen, standing on the steps, looking at Liu Yunxiang condescendingly, as if she was in power in an extremely noble manner.
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "The murder of the imperial heir is indeed a death sentence."
Jiang Yunying sighed deeply, "I don't know who is so confused."
"The person who poisoned must be a man in the royal palace. Maybe someone was instructed by him." Feng glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and this was clearly referring to her.
Liu Yunxiang just thought he couldn't understand, "The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture has come with the official entourage, so let's check it carefully."
The queen sighed and said, "I have reported to the emperor that the murderer must be found and will not tolerate it."
At this time, the prefect of Jingzhao Li Chong hurried in. There were two officials behind him escorting a chubby short man with a look of panic.
"Empress, this person is the chef of the royal palace kitchen. When this official interrogated, he spoke in a mess and asked carefully. In a panic, he admitted that he had poisoned the food of Concubine Yuan."
Two officials escorted the cook over and asked him to kneel down to the ground.
The queen looked at Jiang Yunying with a look, and nodded when she saw her, she understood and turned to the chef.
"Speak, why did you poison Concubine Yuan!"
The chef was trembling and obviously he was not the kind of brave person.
"Little...small...no one instructed me..."
The queen narrowed her eyes, "How long have you been to the royal palace?"
"I just arrived the day before yesterday."
"Have you ever seen Concubine Yuan?"
"No, no."
"You have never even seen Concubine Yuan, and you are even less likely to have grudges. You have no reason to harm her. You will only poison unless someone forces you and tempts you."
"The little one...the little one has old one and a little one...I dare not say it!" The chef lay on the ground and a big man started crying.
The ladies next to them looked at it and whispered.
"It seems that someone forced him with his family."
"Whoever has this ability doesn't have to think about it and know who it is."
"She is really cruel."
"Or how could he transform from a widow in the Marquis's Mansion into a princess?"
When Liu Yunxiang heard these comments, she didn't say anything. She looked up occasionally and happened to see the third wife of Duke Yang's mansion looking at her. There was a clear look of regret in her eyes.
She also thought it was her.
