Deathly silence.
Concubine Qiao's complexion was terribly pale, her arms trembled violently, and her round eyes seemed to be out of focus, but they were filled with tears of sorrow. Her right hand pressed her forehead firmly, her knuckles turned white because of too much force. Maybe her head hurts, maybe she is just using this to restrain her emotions, or maybe she needs to think about what to do, how to save her daughter.
Murong Chang remained silent, his dark pupils were fixed, but his long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Her beautiful little face turned purple, and it was as terrifying as a ghost.
Murong Ci took out something from his bosom, and reported the most favorable evidence, with a hint of sadness in his voice, "Prince sister, you told Xia Xiaolu that if she came to Beijing to look for you, she would leave a message at Guiyun Tea House. This portrait went to Guiyun Teahouse and showed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper recognized that this portrait was Mr. Rong whom he had seen before."
Shen Zhiyan looked at the portrait first, and then handed it to Murong Yu.
Murong Yu's voice was cold, "Although it's in men's clothing, it is indeed Princess Zhaohua."
"Sister, Zhao Qingsong drew a small portrait of you and put it in the book. Xiuhe saw it and brought it to Ben Gong." She took out the last evidence, a small portrait, and held it up to Murong Chang with a voice. Wei Li, "Look clearly, is this small portrait really you or not? And you actually lied to him that you are Princess Duanrou, and deceived people under the guise of someone else."
"Shang'er" Concubine Qiao took her daughter's arm, beat her chest, and yelled heartbroken, "How can you be so foolish that you can kill someone?"
Murong Chang stared at the small portrait, his long eyelashes moved slightly, crystal teardrops fell from his wide-open pupils, slid down his jade-white cheeks, and finally fell on the skirt of his clothes, smearing a little wet color.
Shen Zhiyan was ashamed, why didn't he know when Xiuhe handed over the statuette to His Highness
Concubine Qiao's eyes were full of tears, her heart was so painful that she was about to die, she cried hoarsely and mournfully: "Shang'er, just say something, how can you kill so many people, how can you kill innocent people indiscriminately?"
Murong Ci looked at the imperial sister who had been questioned by him and stopped arguing. He didn't know her mood at the moment, and what she was thinking. Suddenly, an inexplicable, complicated and chaotic emotion surged up in his chest, resentment, sadness, Pity, hate iron is not steel
If the charges are confirmed and punished for several crimes, Zhaohua's end will definitely be beheaded.
She didn't want to see her close relative's sister decapitated, and she didn't want to personally send Zhaohua to the execution ground. However, in her midnight dream, the souls of unjustly died sobbed miserably, and even tore her soul, begging her to avenge them revenge. She couldn't be indifferent, couldn't disregard the criminal laws of her family and country, and couldn't shield her selfishly.
"On the day of Concubine Xiao's birthday banquet, she disappeared inexplicably. She was taken out of the Qingluan Hall by a man of extreme lightness, and finally fell from the Lingfeng Pavilion. Concubine Xiao did not commit suicide. The murderer used a very clever method to kill people." Murong Ci took out Something, and continued, "This is the silk produced in Yizhou. It is as sharp as a blade, soft as water, sharp enough to penetrate armor, and can be used as a weapon. The murderer also forged the illusion of committing suicide by falling into a pavilion in an attempt to deceive the world."
"This day's silk was found at the place where Concubine Xiao Gui fell in Lingfeng Pavilion. It was long enough to wrap around Concubine Xiao's waist, and then tied to the Zhulan. When the silkworm just broke, the murderer took a small stone As a hidden weapon, she unlocked Concubine Xiao's acupuncture points. When she was awake, she watched herself fall to her death. And everyone watching from under the Lingfeng Pavilion thought that Concubine Xiao committed suicide by jumping from the pavilion." Shen Zhiyan said loudly.
"The murderer has superb lightness skills and is very familiar with the terrain of the palace, so he could avoid the guards' eyes and ears and take him away silently." She tried her best to suppress her sorrowful emotions, and said calmly, "Yuanxiu possesses martial arts, and his lightness skills are good. Royal sister, why did you instigate Yuanxiu to kill Concubine Xiao Gui?"
"Your Highness accuses servants of murder, but there is evidence," Yuan Xiu insisted.
Murong Ci took out another roll of heavenly silk, and sneered coldly: "Qin Ruo found this from your house. You broke into the East Palace this morning to look for heavenly silk, but unfortunately you failed."
Qin Ruo said: "This morning, the slave fought with the thief who broke into the East Palace and injured his left arm."
She rushed over and pressed Yuan Xiu's left arm hard.
Sure enough, Yuan Xiu frowned in pain, and the sleeve of his left arm showed a faint color of blood.
Qin Ruo kicked her behind the knee, making her kneel down, and then called the guards to come in and arrest her.
Shen Zhiyan admired His Highness so much that even the murder case of Concubine Xiao Gui was solved.
Murong Yu's beautiful snowy face was surrounded by biting cold, "Why did you kill Concubine Xiao?"
Suddenly, the lightning flashed by, and the thunder exploded in the sky, as if to tear the earth and the whole world apart.
The loud noise shocked everyone violently and shocked them a lot.
Murong Chang raised his chin slightly and said coldly, "Because she deserves to die."
"Why should she die?" Murong Ci sternly said, "Even if she deserves to die, you can't set up a private punishment hall."
"She is the most beloved concubine of the father, but she does not abide by women's morals. She loves the king and seduces the king. She has no shame. For a person like her who is obscene, my sister will punish her for the father. "Murong Chang's voice was hoarse and hoarse, and the flames of anger were burning in his eyes.
Concubine Qiao was taken aback, Concubine Xiao Gui seduced King Yu
Murong Yu pressed his brows slightly, and suddenly remembered the night he broke up with Concubine Xiao, he noticed a movement nearby, but afterward, the ghost said that the person was good at lightness, and quickly fled after making the movement, disappearing in the blink of an eye

Presumably the peeping person is Princess Zhaohua's close maid Yuanxiu.
"My lord, a scheming, obscene and shameless bitch like Concubine Xiao should be sent to the underworld. Don't you think my lord is doing the right thing?" Murong Shang's picturesque eyebrows were full of horror The ruthless and murderous look, the glamorous, gentle, dignified and generous Princess Zhaohua on weekdays, has now turned into a murderous devil with blood on her hands, which makes one's scalp tingle, "My lord, when Concubine Xiao Don’t you find it particularly disgusting to sway your head and pose in front of you, or touch your robes and limbs, or hear her lewd voice?”
"Shang'er, you are so confused. You have to pay for your life. How did you become like this? Have you forgotten all the truths that the concubine mother taught you?" Concubine Qiao was on the verge of collapse, and despair seized her. Panicked, how could her daughter become like this? She shouted hoarsely, "Shang'er, kneel down!"
"This is my king's private matter, there is no need for the princess to make decisions for me." Murong Yu said coldly.
"Sister, no matter what Concubine Xiao does or what crimes she commits, the Emperor will deal with her." In fact, Murong Ci understood that Zhaohua was so infatuated with Murong Yu that he lost his normality and could not tolerate Concubine Xiao's seduction. , Approaching him, "Zhao Qingsong, Xia Xiaolu's master and servant, Lin Shu, they were all deceived and played by you. They are poor people who were abandoned by you. If you don't see them anymore, why do you want to kill them?"
"Your Highness, the princess did nothing wrong." Yuan Xiu knelt down suddenly, and hastily argued, "Although the princess hates Concubine Xiao, she never thought of killing Concubine Xiao. Layout to kill her. And Zhao Qingsong and the others, although the princess was wrong in deceiving their feelings, that’s all. The princess didn’t order the servants to kill her. The government. The servants couldn't bear it anymore, and killed them in a fit of anger. It was the servants who committed the capital crime, Your Highness, the prince, the servants are willing to suffer any punishment, and have no complaints."
"I didn't kill Bengong, and I didn't instigate Yuanxiu to kill those people. She killed those people to protect Bengong's safety and do nothing for Bengong."
Murong Chang stared at her intently, and suddenly woke up, her beautiful eyes full of sternness seemed to be able to speak.
She knew that the matter had been brought to light, and there was no room for change, and the only plan for now was to abandon the car to save the handsome man.
There was another thunderclap, even more earth-shattering than the one just now, as if it was about to open up the world, and all mortals in the world would suffer.
A silver lightning flashed in the hall, and everyone was shocked, feeling unprecedented fear.
Immediately afterwards, the torrential rain poured down, and the big raindrops crackled on the glazed tiles, making a loud noise.
Outside the hall, there was a strong wind and thunderstorms, as if God wanted to punish mortals who made mistakes.
A look of fear flashed in Murong Chang's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.
She knelt down suddenly, with crystal tears rolling down Yubai's face, she pulled the corner of Murong Ci's robe, and begged humbly and mournfully: "Brother Prince, my younger sister hates those people and Concubine Xiao, but my younger sister She has no intention of killing, it's Yuanxiu's own initiative, and she kills again and again." She turned to Murong Yu, begging sadly and pitifully, "My lord, I swear to the heavens that I have no intention of killing, please see clearly "
Concubine Qiao stood aside in a daze, her tears blurred and dazed, not knowing what to do.
Yuan Xiu said sadly and resolutely: "Your Highness, lord, slaves have committed capital crimes, which cannot be pardoned. Killing people to pay for their lives is justified, and slaves will pay those who died unjustly."
After finishing speaking, she rushed towards the desk beside her, and Qin Ruo rushed over as fast as she could to prevent her from committing suicide.
Murong Ci said coldly: "You have killed so many people, the law is beyond tolerance, the crime should be beheaded for public display, wouldn't it be cheaper for you to kill yourself?"
Shen Zhiyan hesitated and said, "Your Highness, the princess"
She looked at Murong Yu, hoping that he would make a verdict.
She didn't want to make a decision about this heart-wrenching problem.
Everyone can see that Princess Zhaohua is the mastermind who instigated Yuan Xiu to kill people, but Yuan Xiu took all the crimes
Concubine Qiao knelt down abruptly, and said with tears in her eyes, "My lord, Your Highness, it's my goddaughter Wufang, and this palace's Cuo Chang'er, who is still young, has a stubborn heart and went astray, and deceived so many people so that those who An innocent person died unjustly, Yuanxiu killed someone, and Shang'er neglected to discipline the palace people. It was a slavery and murder, and it was negligence. This palace is willing to accept any punishment, and it will be punished on behalf of Chang'er."
"Concubine Qiao, you don't have to do this." Murong Ci felt the pain and fear of Concubine Qiao.
"Princess Zhaohua is stubborn and arrogant. She cheated and played tricks on others. Her intentions were not righteous. She indulged in slavery and committed murder. As a result, the four deceased died unjustly. In order to deprive her of the title of princess, she will not be able to leave the palace of Jinghong without reporting." Murong Yu's voice was cold, Loudly.
When Murong Chang heard this, his tense body relaxed secretly.
Concubine Qiao immediately sat on the ground with her legs limp, with an imperceptible look of joy on her face.
As for Yuanxiu, the end result would be beheading for public display.
Everyone left, but Murong Ci stayed behind.
"If you want to ask, just ask." Murong Yu walked in front of her with a faint smile.
"Why didn't the imperial sister be beheaded?" Regarding this sentence, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and she had mixed feelings in her heart.
