Chapter 307 The Corpse Under the Window (11)
The emperor didn't eat much, after finishing his breakfast, Jin Xin waited for him to rinse his mouth, saw Zhang De came in and said, "Your Majesty, Master Fu and Eunuch Li are asking to see you."

The emperor hurriedly said: "Quick pass."

When Fu Guang came in, there were still water stains on his clothes and a lot of mud on the soles of his shoes. He was about to salute with a serious expression when he heard the emperor say: "There is no need to be too polite, just say that you just found out What?"

Qingchen carefully judged from his expression, and knew that it might not be so easy to find out about this matter.Seeing that his eyes were serious, but there was a sense of wisdom and sharpness in him, he said in a calm voice: "Returning to the emperor, it rained heavily last night, and the footprints under the rear window were washed away by the rain, but I still found it in the bamboo forest on the bank. There was a man's footprints, because the lotus wind hall is surrounded by water, the man abandoned the boat and swam away in order to leave no trace, so there were no clues left on the boat."

The emperor was silent for a while, and ordered: "Let's settle Li Meiren properly first."

"Yes, slave, let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare what you need."

Zhang De took the order to go, Shu concubine said with a sneer: "Master Fu has been searching for a long time, and only found one footprint? How do you catch the real culprit? You also said that the Lotus Wind Palace is surrounded by water, and it is built in the middle of the lake. Who has such a great ability to swim so far in the dark without knowing the direction? This murderer is probably right under Mr. Fu's nose, but you can't see it." While talking, he still didn't forget to glance at Qingchen .

Fu Guang naturally understood what Concubine Shu meant, but he was not affected by her. He bowed slightly to show respect, "Don't worry, empress, just listen to Weichen's words slowly. But before that, Weichen I would like to ask Zhen Shuyi a few questions first."

He looked at the emperor inquiringly, Xiao Jun nodded lightly to indicate yes, and then he turned to Qing Chen and said, "Dare to ask Zhen Shuyi, did you hear anything after resting last night?"

Qingchen tried hard to think about it. He went to bed early last night. Although he didn't sleep well, he didn't pay attention to the movement outside. He really couldn't think of any suspicious noises, so he said: "Forgive me, Mr. Fu, what happened last night A heavy rain is really rare, and the thunder continued all night. I planted either plantains or bamboos in front of and behind my house. What would you be suspicious of?"

Jin Xin also hurriedly said: "Last night, I was on duty as a servant. I didn't sleep well in the first half of the night. I only heard the sound of the strong wind blowing the trees. Then I fell asleep and didn't know anything. gone."

"Don't know anything?" The emperor was very angry at such a statement, and reprimanded sharply, "There are so many slaves in Hefeng Palace, if they all work like this, how can you protect your little master?"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Jin Xin knelt down immediately. Although the meaning of the emperor's words was not clear, Jin Xin understood the severity of it. If someone sneaked in from the back window last night to commit murder, they might be the ones lying on the ground now There are two masters and servants.Thinking of this, I couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "All slaves deserve to die, slaves shouldn't sleep too much, I beg the emperor to spare me."

"Snooze? Is sleep more important than your life?"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Qingchen was afraid that Xiao Jun's anger accumulated all morning would be vented on Jin Xin, so he knelt down to intercede for her, "Your majesty, the weather was so terrible last night, my concubine never thought that someone would risk his life to commit murder. I was the one who didn't let Xiao Xiangzi and the others keep watch at night, and I was the one who told Jin Xin to go to rest, it's all the concubine's fault, if the emperor wants to punish the concubine, he should punish the concubine, right?"

 Ask for a monthly pass.If you like to read pet articles, you can also read Qingchen's other two books: "The Evil King's Pursuing Marriage: The Black-bellied Little Cute Concubine" and "The Youth of Medicine".
