Murong Chang was still kneeling at Murong Cheng's feet, obedient and docile like a cat, without saying a word.
Murong Ci blinked his bright eyes, and raised his voice: "Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei sang in Deyue Tower, and their fame and singing became very popular. In just a few days, their reputation spread throughout the city. The murderer Lan Bise was surprised. When I learned that Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei were singing in Deyuelou, I was worried that they would know her current identity one day and spread the disgrace of her being Yangzhou Shouma, so I became murderous."
Shen Zhiyan wondered: "Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei were killed in the palace. They entered the palace and became musicians of the Jiaofang Division. Do they have anything to do with the murderer?"
"It's not unrelated." Her eyes turned to Murong Chang's dull and cold face like a wilderness, "Have you forgotten that Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei met a generous son when they were singing in Deyue Tower, The young master gave a lot of money, maybe this mysterious young master was the murderer Lan Bise sent someone to disguise himself, telling them that the priest in the palace was recruiting musicians, luring them into the palace, and then Lan Bise Let them die silently in the palace."
"Actually, the murderer made a terrible move, so it's better to strike outside the palace." He knew that in the past, His Highness would not pay attention to the murder of palace servants, but now it is different, and the death of any palace servant must be investigated.
"The murderer Lan Bise is just a weak woman, how did she cut off the head of the deceased?" Murong Yu asked coldly.
"The murderer has a maidservant with high martial arts skills and excellent lightness kung fu. Who the murderer wants to kill, how to kill, and how to arrange after killing, the murderer will teach the maidservant in detail, and tell the maidservant not to stay at the scene of the murder. There are clues." Murong Ci continued, "Originally, Madam Cao could have avoided this catastrophe, but she knew which family bought the murderer Lan Bise back then, and she also said that she would ask Lan Bise for help. Lan Bise I have been secretly watching their movements, and when I learned of Madam Cao's intentions, I brutally killed her, dumped her body in the suburbs, and stripped her clothes to prevent the government from finding out her identity."
"Lan Feise was also killed. Does Your Highness have conclusive evidence to prove that Lan Bise's female corpse is Lan Feise?" His black eyes sparkled, full of approval, "Doubts and conjectures cannot be regarded as evidence."
"Two days ago, people in my palace saw Master Jiang on the street." Murong Ci felt that Master Jiang and his wife were a little suspicious, so he ordered Rong Zhan to search for people inside and outside the capital. According to the palace statement, he and Lan Feise were captured by a masked man and held separately. He was tied up and could not move, and he did not know what happened to his wife. Run out desperately and report to Jingzhao Mansion."
"Master Jiang and Lan Feise didn't go far away to avoid disaster at all, so Lan Feise is very likely to have been killed. But why did the yamen servants from Jingzhao Mansion go to Dali Temple to report that they had left the capital? Where is Lan Feise?" Combining the doubts of Lan Bise and the Deng family, I boldly speculate that if Lan Bise's body is Lan Feise, then everything makes sense." Her eyes were dark, and she made a final decision, "The murderer Lan Bise She is one of the three beauties of Zhuijinfang in Yangzhou, came to the capital five years ago, and recently learned that all her former sisters have come to the capital, so she became murderous, just to keep her shameful identity as a Yangzhou skinny horse from being revealed."
Murong Yu said coldly: "The murderer's heart is cruel, he regards the law as nothing, his crime cannot be pardoned."
Murong Cheng finally understood, with a gloomy expression on his face, "Then what is the relationship between the murderer Lan Bise and Concubine Qiao's tragic death?"
Murong Ci said: "Father, my son guessed that after the murderer Lan Bise killed four people one after another, she felt uneasy. After all, she was a good sister who had a deep friendship in the past. She wanted to do something to relieve the guilt and anxiety in her heart. Coincidentally, Concubine Qiao went to visit her and learned about her murder. Concubine Qiao was angry and hated iron for being weak, so the mother and daughter had a dispute."
The palace people were shocked, the murderer was the princess
"The princess is one of the three beauties of Zhuijinfang, Lan Bise. She is worried that Concubine Qiao will publicize her crime of killing four people in a row, and she ruthlessly ordered Qingyue to poison her mother, Concubine Qiao." Shen Zhiyan Then speculated, with cold eyes, "The princess is not working as a rough servant girl in a wealthy family as she claims, but is trapped in a brocade workshop, and is cultivated by Ya Gong and Ya Po as a thin horse."
"Brother Prince, you speculate like this. You say that my sister is Lan Bise from Zhuijinfang in Yangzhou, and that my sister killed four people in a row. What evidence do you have?" Murong Chang simply sat there, with his snowy neck as high as a proud phoenix, his expression Surprisingly calm, "If you don't have conclusive evidence, don't spout blood."
"Father, my son is not a skinny horse. The elder brother of the crown prince framed my son, and my father wants to be the master of my son." She lay on Murong Cheng's lap and begged her face up, her weak and pitiful appearance made people feel pity.
"Prince, do you have conclusive evidence?" Murong Cheng looked at his beloved daughter whom he had doted on for five years, felt pity for a moment, and couldn't bear to easily convict her.
Murong Ci took out a portrait and handed it over with both hands, "Father, this is the portrait of Yangzhou Sanyan when she was twelve years old."
Murong Chang's face turned frighteningly purple, and his brows suddenly became sharp
Getting up, but only for a moment, still showing her innocence and fragility in front of everyone.
Murong Yu took the portrait first. These were three beauties painted on white silk. They were lifelike and very expressive. "Your Majesty, the one on the left is indeed somewhat similar to the princess."
Murong Cheng took a look over and naturally recognized that little beauty as his beloved daughter who returned to the palace five years ago, so he couldn't help but close his eyes.
Murong Ci's gaze was as sharp as a sword, "Imperial Sister, this is the portrait that your good sister Lan Mengse collected. With the portrait as proof, do you still want to deny it?"
Murong Chang was still calm, but sobbed aggrievedly, and said hoarsely; "Father, I made a mistake. I returned to the palace five years ago, and I am unfamiliar with everything in the palace. I am worried that this is just a dream, worried God will take away the father and mother. I was worried that the father would look down on the son and dislike the son, so he concealed some experiences. But the father, the son really did not kill anyone. After the incident last time, the son sincerely Repent, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately again, and the prince's elder brother doesn't have conclusive evidence, father and son are wronged."
This crying and begging is really pitiful.
"My lord, you are the most impartial and strict. Just now you asked if there is any conclusive evidence. This is all the conjecture of the prince's brother. How can it be used as evidence?" She turned to Murong Yu, crying hoarsely and sadly, as if suffering The world's greatest injustice.
"This is the evidence." Murong Ci took out the sandalwood bracelet again, his eyes full of awe-inspiring righteousness.
"How did this bracelet become evidence?" Shen Zhiyan was even more confused.
"Brother Prince, tell me, how does this bracelet prove that my sister killed someone?" Murong Chang said unconvinced.
"Because this bracelet is the key evidence to reveal your secret." Murong Ci's small face was as cold as winter, "Father, let me tell you another story. This story is very simple. Bise is unparalleled in beauty, scheming, and ambitious, while Lan Mengse is elegant, soft and gentle, open-minded and kind-hearted. Lan Mengse has a string of simple bracelets. Lan Bise saw it and thought it was very interesting. Come and play for a few days. Lan Mengse is generous and kind, so she is naturally willing to lend her the bracelet to play with. It was such a coincidence that when the people sent by the father to look for the princess saw this bracelet, they believed that Lan Bise was the little princess living among the people. When Lan Bise learned that they were looking for the royal princess, she thought about what she shouldn't. After she went back, she asked Lan Mengse for this bracelet as her own. Silver taels, let them tell everyone in Xiujinfang that she was bought by a Beijing official. The bracelet that Lan Mengse brought up since she was a child was blackmailed, and even the identity of her biological parents and princess was taken away by her closest sisters. Went there and didn't know anything."
"Brother Prince, you don't want my sister yet? How can you frame my sister?" Murong Chang asked with tears in his eyes, heartbroken because of being abandoned and framed by his elder brother.
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone, stunned with shock.
Those palace people looked at the princess dumbfounded. It turned out that the princess was a fake.
Shen Zhiyan also couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, this secret is too scary, the truth is too unimaginable
Murong Yu was still calm, just listening to wonderful stories.
"Father, this is the great secret that Lan Bise wants to keep. Because of this secret, and because she was worried that the secret would be leaked, she did not hesitate to kill people one after another, even poisoning Concubine Qiao who had loved her for five years." Eyes full of sternness, "Concubine Qiao is not Lan Bise's biological mother, so she can do it naturally. In order to keep her status as a princess and her glory and wealth, she brutally killed one person after another. In her eyes, human life is like an ant, and the law is like dung." "
"Father, it's not like this. The crown prince's elder brother is bloody. This son is really my father's daughter." Murong Chang choked and cried, pulling Murong Cheng's robe tightly, "Father, my son was wronged, I beg my father to pay me back!" My son is fair"
Murong Cheng looked down at him, with pity and doubt at the same time, with complex emotions intertwined in his eyes, as if he was researching whether she was his biological daughter or not.
Shocked, unbelievable, and heartbroken, it is very uncomfortable to be deceived by the most beloved daughter.
Murong resigned his hand, "Lan Bise, I will give you justice."
Then everyone saw Qin Ruo bringing a woman over. The woman's appearance was like snow, as elegant as an orchid in an empty valley, unconventional, comparable to Murong Chang's beauty, but another kind of graceful beauty, It is pleasing to the eye.
Murong Cheng stared at her without blinking, doubts, studies, surprises
Murong Chang's beautiful eyes were wide open, his eyes were about to burst, and his body trembled slightly.
Lan Mengse bowed profusely, "Lan Mengse, daughter of the people, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and the Prince."
