The reborn woman returns

Chapter 30

"Yesterday, Princess Dehui said that she was very sleepy, so she asked the maid not to call her this morning, but who knew that lunch was very late, and the maid opened the door and found that the princess had hanged herself and died for a long time." The eunuch said hesitantly.

Huo Hanyan was stunned, Princess Dehui?Hanged himself.

"How could that child be so overwhelmed?" The empress dowager's eye circles suddenly turned red. Although Dehui was not born by her, she has been taught and raised by her all year round.Dehui has been sensible and courteous since she was a child. At the age of 17, the emperor gave her marriage to the eldest son of the Mo family. It is a pity that this child has a hard life, but in two years, the little general Mo died in battle, and Dehui became a widow before he was twenty. It was up to her to remarry, but she insisted on blocking her back with the reason that a strong woman would not serve her second husband. She and Mrs. Mo have been guarding Mo's mansion for eight years now.His temperament is extremely docile, and he is quite respected by the head of the Mo clan. "Is there any hurdle that can't be overcome, but I have to mourn the white-haired man to send the black-haired man."

"The Empress Dowager, be careful." Huo Hanyan saw the Empress Dowager's grief-stricken appearance, and quickly stroked her back and comforted her softly, fearing that she would be out of breath and unable to bear it.

The queen mother was silent for a long time before she calmed down, supported Hanyan's arm and got up weakly, "Yanran, let's go out of the palace to see your sister Dehui."

"Yes." Huo Hanyan carefully helped the queen mother out and got into the Luanjia.Seeing the pale face of the Empress Dowager, she was suddenly worried.It's okay not to see anyone, but if I go to Mo Mansion and see Princess Dehui's body, I'm afraid it will be unbearable for a while.Huo Hanyan put down the curtain, turned around and told the maid in the Empress Dowager's palace: "Send someone to notify the emperor." The maid responded and immediately ran towards Chengqian Palace, while Huo Hanyan got into the sedan chair behind Luanjia.

The Mo family's army has been loyal to the country for generations, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren all died in battle. Now the head of the Mo family is Mrs. Mo's youngest son, Mo Jiu, who is guarding the border town.Now the mo family is hung with silk again, and the phoenix is ​​down.Huo Hanyan rushed to help the queen mother down, and there were already people kneeling on the ground outside the gate to greet her.The old lady was haggard and knelt on the ground in dark blue clothes, and her neatly combed hair was covered with silver threads. Over the years, she seemed to have gotten used to the successive deaths of people in the house, but this time she blamed her for not noticing Dehui Because of the abnormality, he knelt at the gate and confessed to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother who was supported by Huo Hanyan looked at the word "Dian" on the door, her legs could hardly support her body, she staggered back two steps before she stood still, she closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes were still black and white That word, all of this is not her hallucination.The grief-stricken Queen Mother saw Mrs. Mo kneeling outside the gate with a pale face, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. "Get up quickly." Mo Jiagong is in the court, and the emperor hereby exempts Mrs. Mo from kneeling in front of the palace. Besides, Dehui and her mother-in-law have a very good relationship, so there is nothing wrong with it.If you want to blame, you can only blame the child for not thinking about it, and pity them two old people with gray temples.

Mrs. Mo hurriedly supported the Queen Mother to stand up, not even daring to say anything. "The old woman violated the Queen Mother's entrustment, that child Dehui..." She couldn't continue speaking, tears flowed down her pale and weather-beaten cheeks.

Looking at Mrs. Mo who was crying uncontrollably.The empress dowager also choked up a sob, suppressed the idea of ​​crying into a ball with the old lady, and walked inside immediately.She couldn't fall down, the child was still waiting for her inside, "Take me...to have a look." Walking through the hall into the backyard, the coffin of red lacquered wood came into view.Seeing this scene, the old queen almost ran up without Huo Hanyan's support, and looked at Princess Dehui inside, her young and delicate face was dead silent, no longer as lively as before.The Empress Dowager supported the coffin and patted it sadly, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, "Dehui, my son!" The old and hoarse voice seemed particularly sad in the empty and white mourning hall.

Seeing the empress dowager's sad appearance, the servants around knelt down and dared not raise their heads.For the princess to hang herself in the mansion, no matter what the reason is, it is a serious crime for the Mo mansion. If the royal family makes trouble, who can resist the wrath of thunder.

Huo Hanyan stared at Princess Dehui inside the coffin, and sighed in her heart that it is easy to die, but it is the living who are sad.She didn't know what was the reason why she couldn't think about it so much.Thinking of this, Huo Hanyan stepped forward to support the crumbling old queen. "Empress Dowager, sister Dehui is in the spirit of heaven, and I can't bear to see the Empress Dowager so sad."

"Dehui, Dehui of Aijia." The queen mother fell back, her eyes began to turn white, and she fell on Huo Hanyan's body.Huo Hanyan was frightened, and immediately shouted: "Xuan Imperial Doctor—Quickly announce Imperial Doctor—!"

At this moment, a sharp voice resounded through Mo's house, "The emperor is here!"

Emperor Yongtai with a bright yellow skirt and a tall and straight figure like a green pine came in from the hall, stepped forward hurriedly and embraced the Queen Mother, and called anxiously: "Mother Queen——!"

"Hanyan sees the emperor." Huo Hanyan jumped out, and hurriedly saluted Emperor Yongtai.

Seeing the emperor coming, the queen mother tightly twisted the emperor's sleeves, and cried out sadly: "Emperor, Dehui, who mourns the family—"

"I already know about it." The emperor looked solemn, and hurriedly comforted the queen mother, "I will definitely give an explanation to the Mo Mansion and Princess Dehui."

The Queen Mother tugged at her bright yellow cuffs and looked at her son. "Immediately order Wang Shengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, to solve this case within a limited time, otherwise Aijia will never give up!" The queen mother said decisively, and the emperor had no choice but to say yes again and again, fearing that the queen mother would be too sad, and hurriedly asked the maid to help the queen mother back to the palace.

Huo Hanyan naturally had to follow, walked to the corner and turned her head, looking at the coffin parked in the backyard and the surrounding things.Shocked, solve the case?What happened to Princess Dehui?

Penal Department
Wang Shengyi frowned and wandered in the courtroom, staring solemnly at the cheated "Mirror Hanging High" plaque, appearing preoccupied.The famous arrester stepped forward to salute solemnly, and then said: "The emperor orders your lord to solve the case immediately?"

"Not bad." Wang Shengyi frowned and nodded, stroking his beard. "Eunuch Chen, who delivered the decree, said that the emperor's oral order is limited to half a month."

He shook his head and stared coldly, "But there are no clues in this case, how can we solve it immediately?! The emperor should understand very well." After entering the palace yesterday, the emperor handed over the case to his lord, and clearly stated that there were no witnesses or no witnesses in the case. Physical evidence is extremely difficult.Today, the emperor ordered my lord to solve the case within half a month, otherwise it would be difficult for the lord to question him.According to the law of Dagan, the time limit is generally several months, and it is not uncommon for weird and difficult cases to be listed as unsolved cases.
