Chapter 178: Who is the murderer behind the scenes?
Everyone in the courtyard stopped what they were doing at the same time and focused their attention on this noble concubine.
Feng Lingyu was the most embarrassed. It was really embarrassing to be caught doing something like this.
She coughed lightly, then smiled and said, "My dear concubine, please sit down, you must have misunderstood, we just want to find out who killed Concubine Lian!"
I don’t have any ill intentions towards Concubine Ru!”
Zhao Yurou came over and explained, "What the Queen said is absolutely true. As a noble concubine, I actually believe you.
Even if Concubine Lian has done many evil things, she must have offended many people in the harem for so many years. There are many people who want to kill her, and it cannot be Concubine Ru, you!"
Ru Guifei smiled faintly, then looked at the two of them and said, "I am just a poor woman who has been forgotten in the cold palace.
Why does the Queen think I did this?"
If the imperial concubine's expression is indifferent, it is impossible to tell what she is feeling at this moment. Feng Lingyu, you never thought that this woman would come to your door, and you did not shy away from it at all.
Now that she's here, let's make it clear. She doesn't expect this noble concubine to tell the truth to her.
But this royal concubine is definitely not as simple as they thought before.
“It’s because the empress’ empress, Concubine Lian, lives next to me!
So he became the biggest suspect. Of course, this is just a guess. All of us present may be the real murderer!"
Feng Lingyu looked at the woman in front of her. At first, she just thought that this woman was okay. Today, she came to her door. She seemed to have no fear, which made people think that she was covering up.
"So the Queen sent people to test it? What was the final conclusion that the Queen came to?"
"As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the two palace daughters beside Concubine Ru. Conclusion..."
Feng Lingyu glanced at Zhao Yurou beside her and didn't know how to reply for a moment.
"The conclusion is that Concubine Ru is definitely not that kind of person. Concubine Lian will die sooner or later. Why should Concubine Ru force her to death?
Unless Concubine Lian did something heinous and angered Concubine Ru!"
Zhao Yurou didn't believe that this delicate-looking woman could commit murder, but Concubine Lian's death was indeed very strange.
If a person who is about to be executed soon is not worried that this woman will say something harmful to them, who will rush to kill this woman?
"Does Concubine Ru really have nothing to do with this matter?"
Aaron Cole had been standing by and observing, and finally couldn't help but ask, "The Queen Mother is unconscious now. Doesn't Concubine Lian hate Concubine Lian for causing such misery to the Queen Mother?"
Ru Guifei was still a little nervous after seeing her, and her white hands tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand.
"Don't talk nonsense. The Queen Mother is unconscious now. The Emperor has found out the reason. Why should I kill Concubine Lian?
I came here today just to tell the Queen that if you have anything to do, come and ask me face to face. There is no need to go to my palace at night. If any Queen is hurt, I really can’t bear it!"
For example, the imperial concubine was still afraid that more tricks would be exposed if she stayed, so she stood up and leaned over slightly, "If the queen has no other questions, then I will go back first!"
"I'll see you off!" Zhao Yurou walked her to the door very diligently and waved to her reluctantly.
He came back and said, "Queen, I just said that this matter must have nothing to do with Concubine Ru. Doesn't this make her unjust?"
"It must have something to do with her!"
Arunkel's eyes were very firm. From what he knew about these old witches, the ladies in the palace did not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
Especially the ladies who are still alive today, all of them are human spirits.
"I also think this matter must have something to do with her!"
"With her character, if it were really her, she would definitely tell us directly!"
Zhao Yurou frowned, her face full of displeasure. She wouldn't believe that such a gentle concubine could do such a murderous thing.
At this moment, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and a strong wind blew. The dead grass on the ground was blown up into the air. Little Red and Little Green were very happy, spinning around in circles in the yard.
The leaves of the huge ginkgo tree in the yard were scattered all over the ground. Several people were standing there, none of them seemed to want to take shelter from the rain.
“You don’t know when it will rain, and you don’t know when a person will change!
Or maybe you don’t understand this person at all. Nothing in this world cannot be changed. A person’s bottom line will be refreshed as he grows older!”
After Aaron Cole said these words, he took Xiaohong and Xiaolu away and left, leaving the three people in the yard to reflect alone.
"Queen, let's go back too!"
Sunflower was still worried that it would rain soon, so she urged her from the side, and the girl nodded slightly.
Several people quietly left the cold palace. Zhao Yurou repeatedly recalled every moment of her time with Concubine Ru. That woman's smile was so bright and bright. How could she do such a thing?
Thinking about what Alan Cole said just now, he felt that what he said seemed to make sense. No one is the same.
A person's bottom line will continue to be refreshed as he grows older, and gradually there will be no bottom line.
Concubine Lian is such a person, Concubine Shu is also such a person, and the most terrifying one is probably the Queen Mother.
Feng Lingyu was also thinking about what Alan Cole said all the way, and seemed to have seen her own future. Sooner or later, she would become the person she hated the most.
If you want to survive in this place and get along well with these women, becoming cold and diplomatic may be the only way to go.
Being stubborn or being stubborn will only lead to death.
Since they had walked halfway, it started to rain heavily. The wind was howling, and the huge raindrops hit the ground, causing ripples. Zhao Yurou hurriedly took off her coat and covered her body, "Queen, please don't get wet!"
"
"You can dress yourself!"
"I am strong and strong, but I am still dressed like your queen!"
In the end, Feng Lingyu had no choice but to accept it happily. The rain was so heavy that it was almost impossible to see the road ahead. The few of them found a pavilion to take shelter from the rain and stayed for a while.
Looking at the clothes draped on her body, a picture suddenly flashed in Feng Lingyu's mind. She remembered that they were drinking together in Concubine Ru's palace not long ago. She seemed to have seen a very beautiful dress. The dress was brand new and was placed there.
Like a decoration.
The phoenix is embroidered on it. Except for the Queen and the Queen Mother, no one is qualified to wear this kind of clothes.
"Do you remember that there is a very beautiful dress on Concubine Ru's cabinet. It is spotless. It seems that she often takes it out to look at!"
Zhao Yurou nodded gently, stretched out her hand to catch the rain outside, and said casually, "The imperial concubine has many costumes, all of which are golden, and each one is particularly beautiful. Which one is the queen referring to?"
"It's the one that's always been on the cabinet in her bedroom. It's covered with red silk. Don't you remember it?"
