Pei Wuyan returned to the stone pavilion and sat on both sides of the stone table with the prince, waiting to watch a show that was even more exciting than a chess game.

Yu Qingfeng, who was brought to the foot of the stone pavilion by the prince, was the protagonist of this good show.

"I already know who the murderer is, but before I reason, I still have a few questions to ask Mr. Pei."

Yu Qingfeng's Xiao Jiujiu is: Don't rush to tell the reasoning that may cost her her life, but try to confirm it again, and decide whether to adapt to the situation based on the results, and go ahead and take the blame.

Having a butt is better than losing your life. Who knows if losing your life here is just a game over or a complete loss of life.

The corners of Pei Wuyan's lips raised, "Okay, just ask."

"Is Tang Jieyu of Guanhua Palace a favored concubine?" Yu Qingfeng mustered up her courage and risked her life.

Pei Wuyan nodded as an answer, then asked: "Is there more?"

"What is Tang Jieyu's background? Is she a lady from an official family?"

Pei Wuyan raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips slightly, and did not answer immediately.

The prince on the side couldn't hold his temper and scolded: "You are so bold, you actually dare to speak nonsense about Empress Jieyu, here comes someone..."

Pei Wuyan interrupted the prince, "Tang Jieyu is not from an official family, but a dancer whom His Majesty met in the Red Sleeve Garden outside the palace during his private visit two years ago."

The prince and the prince Qi Jinglin were all dumbfounded. Obviously everyone knew about this, but no one expected that a newly appointed minister of Dali Temple would speak out.

"How's it going? Now can you tell who the real murderer is?" Pei Wuyan's eyes were bright and there was a smile on his lips.

Yu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Her two questions were not only to confirm her reasoning, but also to test Pei Wuyan's attitude.

The result of the confirmation is that, although her reasoning is bold, it is very likely to be the truth.

Pei Wuyan did agree with her. He dared to speak frankly about the emperor's affair with the dancing girl in public because he was not afraid of offending a favorite concubine who was about to be punished.

"The real murderer is Tang Jieyu." Yu Qingfeng was confident.

The Wang Eunuch on the side had already made a move to cover Yu Qingfeng's mouth, but in the end he did not cover her mouth. Instead, he slapped Yu Qingfeng's back hard, coughed and scolded: "How dare you, kneel down and beg for mercy?

His Royal Highness is kind and can spare your life."

Prince Qi Jinglin's eyes widened with curiosity on his face. He turned to look at Pei Wuyan beside him, trying to get confirmation from the face of the newly appointed Minister of Dali Temple.

Pei Wuyan remained calm and continued to ask: "You said the real murderer was Tang Jieyu? Why did a concubine who was receiving divine grace want to harm four female officials and maids?"

"This matter should start before Tang Jieyu enters the palace."

Qi Jinglin couldn't hold himself back and interrupted Yu Qingfeng, "You obviously know nothing about Tang Jieyu, and you don't even know her background. How could you know what happened before she entered the palace?"

"Guess, or inference."

"Inference?" Qi Jinglin pondered this new word, "Is there any basis for it?"

"Of course there is. My basis is contained in the information I just collected. My reasoning is to connect the dots into a line and connect all the clues together." Yu Qingfeng became more and more confident and high-spirited, as if she was the protagonist of the film.

The main heroine of the show is in the spotlight.

Qi Jinglin was very interested, "Do you know what the crime will be if your guess is wrong and offends Tang Jieyu?"

"A capital crime, or a capital crime that can be avoided, a living crime that cannot be escaped, and life is worse than death?" Yu Qingfeng laughed at herself.

"You are worrying too much," Pei Wuyan chuckled. "The death penalty is inevitable. You continue."

Yu Qingfeng laughed twice, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. She had no way out.

"Tang Jieyu was a dancer in the Red Sleeve Garden before entering the palace. Let's assume she was a piano player from the Red Sleeve Garden. The two fell in love with each other and made a private life. Unexpectedly, His Majesty paid a private visit incognito and fell in love with her, so his lover was

It is no longer possible to separate it at both ends of the palace wall."

Qi Jinglin interrupted Yu Qingfeng again, "Why do you assume it's the piano player?"

"Your Highness, please be patient. After listening to the following, you will know why I assumed that this lover is a piano master." When Yu Qingfeng faced the original male protagonist, the Crown Prince whom she had originally planned to seduce, she unconsciously took advantage of it when speaking.

The tune is delicate and coquettish, making a clip sound.

Pei Wuyan looked at Yu Qingfeng with a look of contempt as if he was frightened again.

Yu Qingfeng reflected, it seemed that it was a bit too much, so she should restrain herself.

"Tang Jieyu, who was doted on by His Majesty, has always longed for her lover outside the palace, so she had the idea of ​​​​exchanging letters with her lover. A year ago, Tang Jieyu first found Chunxi, the director of the Shangshi Bureau, who regularly went out of the palace to do business, and deceived her

Chunxi misses her sisters in Hongxiuyuan, and wants Chunxi to take advantage of her time out of the palace to do business and give her moon to her sisters outside the palace."

"Liar?" Lin Ming, who had been standing behind Pei Wuyan, suddenly realized, "Actually, you want to help your lover?"

"Yes, even if it is against the rules to secretly support a former sister, Tang Jieyu is a favorite concubine, so Chunxi will not refuse if she offers some benefits. But if it is to provide money to Tang Jieyu and her lover, even if it is

No one dares to accept this job despite the benefits, right?"

Lin Ming sneered, "This kind of job is to give people a handle. Tang Jieyu definitely dare not say it openly, she can only lie."

"That's right. The relationship between a man and a woman also needs to come and go. Tang Jieyu is obsessed with her lover, and taking the risk of transporting moon gifts and jewelry outside the palace cannot give her more spiritual comfort, so there must be letters between the two.

contacts."

"Aunt Chunxi is literate." Bi Yuan, who was behind her, couldn't help but talk too much. Then she realized that she had interrupted her master's conversation and quickly knelt down and kowtowed in confession.

In order to prevent these nobles from really pursuing the crime of disrespect against Bi Yuan, Yu Qingfeng quickly stood in front of her and diverted the attention of the nobles.

"Yes, Chunxi is literate. Even if she is illiterate, Tang Jieyu would not dare to hand over the letters to outsiders easily. Can any literate person grasp Tang Jieyu's lifeline just by reading it?"

"So, you assume that this lover is a luthier who is proficient in music?" Lin Ming suddenly realized, "The letters between the two of them are in the form of music scores?"

Yu Qingfeng smiled at Lin Ming and flattered him unconsciously: "Master Lin is wise. Tang Jieyu must have used the excuse of being bored in the palace to compose the music by herself and wanted to share it with her former sisters."

Pei Wuyan coughed slightly, turned down the corner of his mouth, and rolled his eyes at Yu Qingfeng, as if he couldn't stand her ingratiating appearance.

"Chunxi wanted to be promoted to Shangshi, so she took this job to please her favorite concubine Tang Jieyu. She kept an eye out and followed the dancing girl who received Yue Fenghe's music score, and followed her all the way to the Red Sleeve Garden. But she saw something wrong.

As you should have seen, the dancer handed both the moon gift and the music score to the male pianist."

"So in the second month, when Chunxi was ordered to go out of the palace to deliver money and music scores for the second time, she found a person outside the palace who was proficient in music and deciphered the music scores that Tang Jieyu gave to the dancing girl, and the music music that the dancing girl gave to Tang Jieyu in return.

"Jieyu's music score? Did you realize that it was not a discussion and sharing of music, but a letter passed down by swan geese, telling the story of this forbidden friendship?" Qi Jinglin slapped the stone table, not complaining.

"Your Highness..." Yu Qingfeng raised her voice and was about to take the opportunity to please Qi Jinglin again, but this time Pei Wuyan simply stopped her.

"The opportunity for you to speak is given by me. This opportunity is also time-limited. You can take it back at any time." Pei Wuyan's intimidation was obvious. "Hurry up and continue."
