Chapter 117 The king owes her a favor and wants to pay it back
Feng Mingwei's eyes were surprised, "Is there such a thing? Why don't I know about it?"
"Didn't it mean that no one was present at that time, only the Fifth Prince and Murong Xiao?"
The original owner has no memory of this!
Facing Feng Mingwei's doubts, Shuangxi could not explain in detail, "I don't know. I only remember that it was a palace banquet when this happened in the palace. Not only did the fifth prince die at that palace banquet, but also Princess, you also fell into a coma accidentally and were ill for a few days when you came back, so you don't know about it."
"Shen Qiuyue was not present, but she said she saw a man in black running out of the garden, but no one believed her when she came out to testify because she did not catch the so-called man in black."
"The emperor and the emperor reluctantly believed it, so they did not execute the prince, but just imprisoned him to let him reflect."
"I think that the prince treats Shen Qiuyue very differently because of this incident."
Feng Mingwei couldn't laugh or cry, "Is this considered a life-saving grace? I think even if Shen Qiuyue hadn't come out to say something about the man in black, the emperor would not have executed Murong Xiao."
One son has already died, and another son will be killed.
Wouldn’t that be worth the loss?!
Therefore, the emperor would never execute Murong Xiao no matter what.
This can only be said that Shen Qiuyue is very smart, and she allowed Murong Xiao to accept her favor with just one sentence.
Shuangxi nodded, "After the prince came out of the prison, his personality became more withdrawn and even full of violence. Everyone was afraid to avoid him and secretly said that he was a murderer. At that time, it seemed that only Shen Qiuyue was willing to talk to him and believe in him. , look for him every day.”
"That's why the prince said he wanted to marry Shen Qiuyue."
Feng Mingwei touched her chin, "Well, it could be true love at that time! But, didn't you say that I also liked Murong Xiao since I was a child? Why did you ignore him?"
Shuangxi said: "Princess, you don't remember it. At that time, you went to Fengming Mountain to practice martial arts with the eldest son, so you missed a lot."
"The prince knows that you like the seventh prince. After you woke up, you didn't allow anyone to tell you about the seventh prince. He immediately asked the eldest son and the others to take you to Fengming Mountain."
Feng Mingwei smiled and said, "Haha, I fell into the water when I was a child and was poisoned later. I can't remember many things."
Shuangxi knew that, so he had no doubts, "Princess Princess can't remember many things since she fell into the water in the Imperial Garden. It wasn't until you learned that the prince asked to marry Shen Nanyue that you anxiously said to go back to Beijing, and then That happened three years ago.”
In order to marry Murong Xiao three years ago, Feng Mingwei did a lot of unwise things.
That's why she was scolded so badly, saying that she destroyed Murong Xiao and Shen Qiuyue and took away their love.
Feng Mingwei knew everything that happened next, but she didn't know about the part where the Royal Garden fell into the water.
"When I went to Shen's house today, did the prince bully you again because of Shen Qiuyue?" Shuangxi guessed when he saw her asking about it.
"That's not true."
It's not bullying, it's just that Murong Xiao asked her to make a plaster for Shen Qiuyue, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"Forget it, don't mention it, let's go to sleep."
Feng Mingwei didn't have much interest after understanding it a little bit, and planned to sleep with the little girl in her arms.
But then Xiao Tao hurriedly came in, "Princess...Mother Zhou is dead."
Hearing this, Feng Mingwei immediately got up from the bed, "What's going on? How could you die?"
"I don't know. I just went to take a bath. When I came out, I found that her body was stiff, her eyes turned white... she was dead."
Xiaotao's face turned pale and she was very frightened.
Feng Mingwei came to the room where Aunt Zhou lived to check.
It was found that the man had been suffocated to death.
"It's not suicide, it's homicide." Feng Mingwei's eyes were filled with coldness.
"How could this happen? Who killed Grandma Zhou?!"
Aunt Zhang, Hehuan and the others are here.
If Qingsang is here at this time, maybe he can help with the analysis.
Feng Mingwei thought of the two female secret guards that Murong Xiao gave her, "Where are the wonderful pearls and wise words?"
After saying that, the two of them stepped in.
"The princess and the servant are both in the yard, and no one has entered Grandma Zhou's room." Wan Yu said.
Feng Mingwei narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the two of them, "Then you mean to say that Xiao Tao killed Grandma Zhou?"
Xiaotao was so frightened that she hurriedly shook her head, "Princess, I didn't kill Aunt Zhou."
Shuangxi comforted her, "Don't worry, we all know you can't kill Grandma Zhou. How can you kill someone if you don't even dare to kill a chicken?"
Among them, Xiao Tao is the most timid.
Feng Mingwei nodded, "Shuangxi is right. You live in the same room as Aunt Zhou. Have you noticed any movement?"
Xiao Tao shook her head, "No, I didn't hear anything."
Feng Mingwei looked at Miaozhu and said, "Go back to the prince's place. I don't need you here."
Their expressions changed, and they knelt down and said, "Princess, please calm down. I know I have neglected my duty, and I hope the princess will show mercy."
"It's not a matter of mercy. This princess cannot tolerate traitors. I can give you another chance to find out who killed Aunt Zhou." Feng Mingwei's eyes were sharp and she was very angry in her heart.
"This is the palace, and you are the secret guards. If you keep guarding the courtyard, there is no way you won't know when someone comes in."
The two of them were sweating coldly, "Princess... this servant really didn't see anyone coming in."
Are you still lying to her now?
Feng Mingwei sneered, "Okay, if you don't have it, you don't have it. You don't have to kneel here. Go back where you came from."
At this time, Butler Zhu came over and said, "Princess, Your Majesty, please go to Jinbaixuan."
Apparently he got the news and brought someone to dispose of the body.
Feng Mingwei looked very cold and walked to Jinbaixuan without paying any attention to Butler Zhu.
"Did you ask someone to kill Grandma Zhou?" She couldn't help but question the man when she came in.
Murong Xiao had just taken a bath. He was wearing white clothes and a dark brocade coat. His hair was still wet, and his skin was white with a hint of pink. He looked like a spring breeze.
Facing Feng Mingwei's anger, his eyes were cold and he said, "No."
"Don't do this to me, Princess. You didn't let people kill you, but you let people in and allowed others to kill and silence them."
"It's because of Shen Qiuyue's request, right?"
Feng Mingwei asked with a sneer.
Faced with the woman's question, Murong Xiao did not deny it, but frowned slightly, "Ms. Zhou is mute and crazy. Even if she is cured, she will not be able to identify the mastermind behind it."
"This matter ends here. As long as I believe that you are innocent and framed, there is no need to continue the investigation."
Feng Mingwei laughed angrily and said, "So you knew the mastermind behind it was Shen Nanyue. In order to protect her, you chose to have someone kill you and silence her, and you didn't allow me to investigate."
"No, I just don't think it's necessary to check."
"It is indeed the king who let him in, but did not save him."
"Aunt Zhou is the biological sister of Nanny Shen Qiuyue. She begged me to let Aunt Zhou die euthanasia."
Murong Xiao finally told what he had discussed with Shen Qiuyue at Shen's house during the day.
Shen Qiuyue did plead with him about her life-saving kindness back then.
"The king owes her a favor and must repay it."
Feng Mingwei's face was ashen and her eyes were red with anger, "She obviously had a guilty conscience and was afraid that what she had done was exposed, so she wanted to kill someone and silence her. You still believe her and are willing to be used by her."
"Murong Xiao, I really misjudged you."
"You are just a stupid blind pig."
"No, pigs are smarter than you, and you are worse than just a pig."
Feng Mingwei was so angry that she cursed loudly. She couldn't help but pick up the inkstone on the table and smashed it in anger.
Murong Xiao did not hide.
Poof!
A large mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from his forehead.
