After committing myself to madly criticizing the governor, I was confused

Chapter 343 A Glimpse

The implication of Xiao Qi's words was very clear.

One is a general who made contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

How can a princess who is only good in appearance be superior to others?
Sure enough, the title of general is still very important, and Huangfu Yuer obviously does not want to continue to struggle with this issue.

He still happily invited the governor in, but he was a little petty and did not invite General Ye.

Ye Xiaoer didn't care either, after all, solving the case was the most important thing.

Just now she had heard the princess' loud voice, saying that her dagger was lost.

Could it be the murder weapon?

as predicted.

Xiao Qi placed a picture of a lost dagger in front of her. Huangfu Yuer was shocked and nodded repeatedly.

"This is my dagger! I brought it into the palace. I don't use it on weekdays, so I don't pay much attention to it. Today, the kitchen made me a roast leg of lamb, but when I looked for it, it was gone."

"That's because the dagger was lost before Coral died." Xiao Qi said lightly.

Huangfu Yuer's brows were getting tighter and tighter. She didn't care at all that she became a bitter melon. She always felt that something seemed to be directed at her.

But how could she kill a pariah who had fallen into the dust?

"I really don't know much about this matter. I was very sad when the Bixia Feathered Robe was lost. Now it is stained with the blood of some bitch. I don't want it anymore. But the dagger..."

She wanted to say, I didn't kill that person, it really had nothing to do with me.

But how could a princess say such a thing? So she hesitated to speak.

When Ye Xiao'er heard the word "bitch", she frowned slightly and glanced at the eldest princess's face inconspicuously.

Sometimes, it is rare for a princess to be as willful as she is.

It seems that the current emperor really dotes on her, which is why she speaks and acts the way she does now - lawless.

She thought of Xueyao, who was left alone and helpless after separation from her brother.

After finally meeting my brother, my life took a huge turn.

Now, I am afraid I will never recognize her again.

He also thought of Pei Huai's long-lost sister. He didn't know how he and Pei's parents had been able to bear the pain of missing her for so many years.

Pei Huai told her that her personality was actually somewhat similar to his sister's. They were both very stubborn and not very talkative, but they were very efficient.

He is also very stubborn. Once he makes up his mind, no one can persuade him to change his mind.

Therefore, the reason why he was willing to contact Ye Xiao'er, who was not favored in Feng Mansion, was that he could more or less see the shadow of his sister in her.

Although Pei Huai never said it, Ye Xiaoer always felt that he was nice to her, probably because he treated her as his own sister.

In fact, she saw the apricot blossoms all over the wall on the day his bedroom caught fire.

I don't know why he lied.

He clearly had a strong love for apricot blossoms. Why did he say that his appreciation for apricot blossoms was only temporary? She didn't want to look at Huangfu Yu'er, so she immediately looked away.

The princess seems a little narcissistic.

There are two portraits of her in this house.

There she stood proudly on the pavilion, looking dignified and majestic.

There is also a gentle gesture of nodding one's head and overlooking the flowers.

But it’s no wonder that these two paintings are so lifelike and exactly the same as the real people, which shows true superb skills.

"May I ask, Princess? Who painted these two paintings?"

She originally didn't want to have too much conversation with Huangfu Yuer.

But seeing that the princess had cast her sharp eyes upon him, he found a topic and asked casually.

Huangfu Yuer snorted: "This painter was the Queen Mother's personal painter when she first entered the palace. Later, when this princess grew up, he became her personal painter. I saw that he had good painting skills and his paintings were lifelike, so I kept him as a supporter. But in the past few years, his eyesight became blurry, so I let him retire and return home."

Ye Xiaoer nodded.

A few years ago, the princess was still a little immature, but this immaturity can be fully displayed in his paintings. It is not deliberate, but natural, so the painter is really superb.

Xiao Qi thought of something.

When the Queen Mother first entered the palace, wasn't it almost the same as when Ye Yu entered the palace?
Maybe this is also an opportunity.

Back then, very few people knew that Ye Yu had entered the palace. What if he knew some inside information?

His most urgent task is to figure out the mystery of the missing feather robe and dagger, and the motive for the murder.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess.

The dagger and feather robe would never be lost for no reason. They must have been stolen by someone from the public institution.

Therefore, Xiao Qi asked them to explain one by one all the signs that happened after the princess entered the palace.

"There has never been a theft in the princess's mansion for all these years. The Bixia Feather Robe is usually locked in the warehouse. Only the princess's personal maid and I know how to use the key. If someone took it away, only we would be suspects. But we really didn't take it. Even if we wanted to take something from the warehouse, we would bring other maids with us, so many people that we can't count them. And the feather robe was not lost before this, it should have been lost after entering the palace." Housekeeper Ouyang reported truthfully.

Xiao Qi nodded.

Because the East Factory had sent people to check before, and the cabinet where Yuyi lost was not damaged at all, so someone must have opened the lock and taken it away.

Chun Xing also kowtowed: "Master, General Ye, Chun Yan and I also have the key to the box. But we wear it all the time, and we can't take the feathered robe without the princess's order. We are unfamiliar with the palace, and even if we take it, we don't know who to give it to."

She knelt on the ground.

The jade bracelet on the wrist that supported the upper body made a clanging sound when he knelt on the ground.

Ye Xiaoer saw that the bracelet was made of icy material and looked quite expensive.

She remembered that Feng Yunyun from Feng Mansion seemed to have this kind of icy jade bracelet.

How could a maid have such an expensive bracelet?
