Chapter 331 The Culprit
Murong Jie poked her on the forehead, "Yao Zhi is dead, but you can turn her into a ghost and appear in front of Han Qingqiu, maybe you can learn more about Yao Zhi's death, for example."
Zi An suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."
"I'm going to find Qinzhi right away. Qinzhi and Yaozhi have been together for so many years, and I know the speed of her speech, her movements, and the clothes she likes to wear."
The carriage of the Prince's Mansion rushed to the Princess Mansion again with a "da da da".
Murong Jie spread his hands, look, her concubine cares about everyone, but she doesn't care about him.
———Lao Tzu is the dividing line of the regent of many complaints———
Late at night, midnight.
The cold wind of early winter blew the half-bald branches, making a sharp whining sound.
The jackdaw sang, and it was particularly sharp and piercing in this silent night. The jackdaw was caught by Su Qing, and he was half lying on the roof of the general's mansion. Voice.
The jackdaw wept blood and made a mournful sound.
Han Qingqiu went to bed early. After being the wife of a general for so many years, she was used to someone keeping watch at night, so there was a girl sitting and taking a nap outside her room.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, which woke the girl up. She rubbed her eyes, looked around, but didn't see anything, so she stood up and took the lantern in front of the corridor and walked towards the direction of the sound.
Not far after she left, she heard the sound of the door opening again from behind, she turned her head suddenly, and found that the door was locked, she shivered, and whispered: "It's strange, could it be that it's windy? "
The wind was really strong, making the window lattices "flutter" and the leaves on the branches were flying. After thinking about it, she went to find the guards on duty in the mansion to patrol.
Han Qingqiu slept very late tonight, what happened today made her flustered, she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, she knew that Xiao Xiao had no feelings for her, but after thinking about it for so many years, he should at least forget about Murong Zhuangzhuang .
She could accept that her husband didn't have her in his heart, but she couldn't accept that he had someone else in his heart, always had someone else.
It's really ironic, as if he was still obsessed with her like eleven years ago.
This meant that her eleven years of youth were wasted in vain.
But she is also willing, willing to do this, she only wants this position, this kind of glory and wealth, but, why should she bear these humiliations? She is willing to be humble like this, what else does he think of her?
Touching his cheek, the place where he slapped still hurts badly, this kind of pain is heart-wrenching.
There was a lot of wind outside the door, there were crows screaming, and there were unknown voices. She was very irritable and shouted, "Xiaoqing!"
The maid didn't answer, and after a while, she called out again, but there was still no answer, she got up angrily, "You must have fallen asleep again, trash!"
There was a "babble" sound from the door, as if a gust of wind had passed by.
She was startled, and then said angrily: "You didn't hear me calling you a few times, so I thought you were dead."
She thought it was the maid Xiaoqing who came in.
Someone came in, and the moonlight reflected in the window passed by. I didn't see the appearance, only the messy hair covered the head and face of the person, her clothes were soaked, and water was dripping.
She was shocked, "You..."
"Third sister, do you still remember me?" the man said quietly, his voice seemed to be choked by something, his voice was deep and hoarse.
Han Qingqiu shivered when he heard Third Sister's voice.
Among the four maids around the princess back then, she ranked third, only the youngest, Yaozhi, would call her third sister, Qin Zhi and Qionghua both called her third sister.
"You..." She stepped back, almost fainting, "Who are you? Who is playing tricks?"
"Third Sister, it's only been eleven years, don't you remember me?" The figure gradually approached, and the light reflected it. When Han Qingqiu saw the clothes, he immediately screamed, "Ghost!"
That dress, she remembered, was that of Yao Zhi who fell into the water.
"Yao Zhi" sneered sullenly, "Is Third Sister afraid of me? If you are afraid of me, why would you treat me like this?"
Han Qingqiu's heart was filled with panic, "No, no, I didn't want to, we were just following orders, Yaozhi, I have no intention of killing you, but I can't help it, you know..."
She pushed back as she spoke, hitting the chair and falling to the floor.
"We belong to the princess, and we will only follow the princess' orders." "Yao Zhi" said coldly.
Han Qingqiu knelt on the ground, "I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose, please let me go, Yaozhi, please let me go, I will burn gold, silver and jewelry for you tomorrow, and I will burn whatever you want."
"Okay, tell me, what happened back then, and why did you have to kill me?"
Han Qingqiu froze for a moment, she stood up slowly, staring at "Yao Zhi" in front of her, "You are not Yao Zhi, who are you?"
Although she was afraid, she was not stupid, Yao Zhi knew the whole thing, how could she ask about the past?
"Yao Zhi" pushed back her hair, showing a cold face, Han Qingqiu took a closer look, and couldn't help being half-dead with anger, it turned out to be Xia Zian.
"The concubine came to my mansion late at night to scare the concubine, what exactly is she trying to do?" Han Qingqiu calmed down and said angrily.
Zi'an calmly walked over and sat down, "Madam, please sit down, let's have a good talk about Yao Zhi's death."
Han Qingqiu's face turned pale, "I don't know what the princess said."
"Don't pretend to be confused, you said it yourself, you killed Yaozhi."
"Princess heard it wrong, I never said that." Han Qingqiu said coldly.
She has not been the general's wife for nothing all these years. Xia Zian broke into her room late at night and pretended to be a ghost. This matter has been brought to the government, and her confession is untenable.
There are two people in the secret room, there is no circumstantial evidence, how can we collect evidence for her words?
Zi'an calmly said: "I heard it wrong, but my guards on the roof should not be wrong. Ma'am, I came prepared, don't try to get away with it, everyone is not a fool, what do you say tonight?" If so, I don't have to go to the government to make a fuss, just tell the people in the princess mansion, what will happen to you?"
Han Qingqiu stared at Zi'an, "Why are you trying to get along with me?"
"You misunderstood, I'm not against you, I just want to know what happened back then."
"What's the matter? That's it. Xiao Xiao likes me and doesn't like the princess. He married me. That's the truth." Han Qingqiu still said firmly.
Zi'an sighed, "Okay, since you are unwilling to cooperate, then this matter will be handed over to the secret guards of the princess mansion to investigate, but don't think that we don't know anything, for the sake of the emperor, you betrayed the princess, you girl, really I'm sorry for her."
Han Qingqiu suddenly raised his head and looked at her in horror, "You..."
Looking at her face, Zian knew that she was right, it was really the emperor!
Zian was very disappointed, he never expected that the emperor would be such a person.
It hurts to replace Zhuang Zhuang, Zhuang Zhuang always thought that the emperor treated her well and respected her little aunt very much.
What would happen to Zhuang Zhuang if she knew that the emperor was the chief culprit behind all of this design, causing her to live in pain for eleven years? Can you bear it?
