Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 101 Chapter 1 01 Who is behind the scenes?

"If I'm not mistaken, the murderer should have stabbed Miss Ruo's neck with a drug-tainted silver needle to stun her."

Lu Nanzhi spoke out what was in his heart, imagined the scene at that time, and felt that something was wrong.

Jun Moyu also leaned over to take a look, and asked puzzledly: "Why do you use silver needles? Isn't this troublesome?"

Lu Nanzhi didn't want to understand this point either, but there was a new clue anyway.

"Go back first and talk about it!"

The three days passed quickly, Concubine Rong woke up early on purpose, the maid Peier looked at the lazy man and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is getting more and more beautiful, no wonder the Emperor loves you so much."

Concubine Rong nodded her forehead with a light smile and said, "You're the only one who is poor-mouthed."

"The servant girl is telling the truth." Pei'er continued to flatter her.

Concubine Rong walked up to the mirror, looked at it for a while, then turned her head and said: "Give me a make-up! I want to see how long His Royal Highness can last!"

Today is the deadline, and I heard that the fifth prince has been at the scene of the crime for the past few days, and even Ruo Shiyu's personal maid, Cui'er, only interrogated him once.

How could the murderer be found out like this, she was looking forward to the fifth prince's death, so that she would save a lot of trouble, and she didn't have to do it herself.

When Concubine Song came with Song Linyun, the emperor was already sitting outside drinking tea, and he just glanced at the people who came.

Concubine Song walked over in small steps, followed by Song Linyun, and the two leaned over and said, "My daughter, my concubine has seen the emperor."

"Get up." The emperor's tone was very cold.

The smile on the corner of Concubine Song's mouth faded a bit, covering the look in her eyes, she stood up and looked at the Fifth Prince beside her.

"I wonder if His Highness can find the murderer?"

Jun Moyu smiled indifferently, "It seems that the imperial concubine really cares about my son, and it really makes me panic!"

Concubine Song's complexion changed, but she could only laugh and said: "I am also worried about His Highness's safety. I wonder if His Highness can catch the murderer and clear himself of the crime?"

Jun Moyu raised her eyebrows, and said in a firm tone, "Father, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result today."

"Oh?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at him, as if thinking about what he said.

Concubine Song said with a coquettish smile, "I believe that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince will surely live up to everyone's expectations."

Jun Moyu asked someone to bring Cui'er up, and asked her to tell everything about Ruo Shiyu before and after her disappearance.

Then he came to Song Linyun's side step by step, his eyes glanced past her to look at the maid behind her.

"I heard that at that time, the maid was very eager to ask Miss Song to help find Miss Ruo, and she told where Miss Ruo was. This maid is really amazing!"

Song Linyun's face turned pale in an instant, and a thin layer of sweat broke out from the hands in the sleeves.

A coldness flashed across Jun Moyu's eyes, and she looked at the maidservant with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you really so kind? Or do you have other plans?"

The servant quickly knelt down and kowtowed, eagerly said: "Return to Your Highness, the servant has no second thoughts."

Jun Moyu sneered, "Since you have no second thoughts, how do you know where Miss Ruo is?"

Jun Moyu's question made the servant girl stunned for a while before she realized, "Slave servant, servant girl... Slave servant is also guessing."

"Guess? Your guess is really accurate!" Jun Moyu came to the maidservant and knelt down. Seeing the small and exquisite ring on her hand, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.

The maid hid back a little flustered, she didn't know what the fifth prince was thinking, and she was scared for a while.

Concubine Song said appropriately, "Even if Your Highness can't find the murderer, you won't be looking for a scapegoat."

"Why is the imperial concubine so sure that she is the scapegoat, not the real murderer?"

Jun Moyu raised her head, Qingjun's eyebrows were slightly squinted, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

"What about the evidence? What evidence does Your Highness have to prove that she is the murderer?"

Jun Moyu looked away indifferently and stood up, then clapped her hands, and soon a guard came over with something. On the tray was a crystal jade pendant, both in color and workmanship.

"This jade pendant was found in Ms. Song's maidservant's boudoir. The jade pendant is Miss Ruo. If she didn't kill the person, why is this jade pendant in her room?"

Jun Moyu originally thought that the perpetrator would be someone close to Concubine Song Gui, but she didn't expect it to be Song Linyun's maid. No wonder he couldn't find any clues.

Song Linyun's heart was pounding, and she pinched the edge of her dress with her hands nervously, resisting the fear in her heart and standing still.

"This, this, the jade pendant, is a gift from Miss." When the maid said this, her tone was obviously a little guilty.

"Oh, reward from your lady? The jade pendant that your lady gave you would have the word Ruo?" Jun Moyu smiled indifferently, and under the doubtful eyes of the servant girl and others, she picked up the jade pendant and pointed it at the sun. Seeing that there is really a word Ruo in Yupei.

This jade pendant will only appear in the sun, if you don't look carefully, you won't find it at all. The maidservant's eyes are a little loose, and she didn't expect to leave such an important evidence because of her greed for a while.

No, she is not reconciled!

"This servant picked it up by accident, and kept it because of a moment of greed. This servant deserves to die. Please spare your life, Your Highness, and your majesty." Seeing this, the servant girl immediately changed her tone, she couldn't just plead guilty like this.

The emperor never said a word from the beginning to the end, looking at the warm sun, he said softly: "The sun is so good today."

This sentence made everyone a little confused, and did not understand what the emperor meant.

A black figure came over and slapped the maid who was kneeling on the ground. Feeling the cold breath behind her, the maid quickly turned around and raised her hand to hold the ring on her finger. A silver needle stabbed the man in black on the back of his hand.

Seeing this, the guards surrounded the man in black, and the man in black didn't have any intention of running away, instead he pulled the black cloth off his face.

When they saw the face of the man in black, everyone looked at the fifth prince in different ways, because this man was the guard beside him.

"What is your Highness trying to do? Could it be that you want to kill people to silence your words?" Concubine Song preemptively strikes, her eyes radiating complacency.

Jun Moyu walked up to the maidservant, grabbed her wrist and lifted it, took off the ring from her hand, and came in front of the emperor.

"Father, this is the murder weapon that stunned Miss Ruo, and it is also the evidence against this maidservant's murder."

Thanks to Lu Nanzhi for this matter, she had to admit that her nose was sharp, if she hadn't smelled the fragrance of Miss Ruo's medicine on the handmaid, they still couldn't figure it out.

Concubine Song had nothing to say now, she turned her head to look at the maidservant behind her with a sinister look in her eyes.

Pei Er quietly revealed a red rope, and then quickly put it away.

Seeing this, the servant girl wanted to rush over, but finally stopped, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried, "Your servant plead guilty!"

"Plead guilty? Shouldn't you tell me who ordered you to do this? You, a maid, how could you have the guts to kill the minister's daughter!" Jun Moyu's sharp question made the maid not know how to answer, her eyes looked at Song intentionally or unintentionally. Pei Er behind the imperial concubine.
