I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 107 Confession
"What His Highness the Crown Prince said is very true. It's because the minister's wife didn't think carefully." Mrs. Xu bowed her knees and gave her a blessing, then turned to Nanny Yu and said, "Go and invite the Second Miss over here."

Nanny Yu has been by Xu's side for many years, and instantly understood what she meant, a little confused: "Master, the second lady's high fever has not subsided, and the government doctor has repeatedly instructed not to see the wind. The weather outside is so cold. What should I do?"

"Confused!" Mrs. Xu glared at Yumama, and said coldly: "Feng Yan is just a concubine, so she is so delicate, just ask the servants to prepare a soft sedan chair and bring it over."

Although Xu's words sounded like he was belittling Qu Fengyan on purpose, they were actually insinuating that Murong Jing was domineering, and even deliberately made things difficult for the sick boudoir girl.

Although Murong Jing didn't care what Xu Shi thought of her, she didn't want to go her way, she just smiled lightly and said, "My aunt's words are too self-deprecating, Second Miss Qu is the second brother's cousin, so naturally she belongs to this Palace. Cousin, how can I have the heart to let her suffer all this time?" Knowing that this trip would involve more dealings with female relatives, Murong Jing specially brought a female official from the Queen's Palace, which is just in time for her.

Under Murong Jing's order, the female officer followed Nanny Yu to the Yilan Courtyard where Qu Fengyan lived, but of course she found nothing.

The investigation has come to an impasse. No matter how calm Murong Jing is, she can't help frowning slightly. As for Mrs. Xu, she is greatly relieved. She only hopes that the "God of Plague" in front of her can leave quickly. , it would be even better if we could find a chance to destroy that letter.

To Xu's disappointment, Murong Jin did not leave in a hurry, but sat in a chair and carefully examined the collected handwriting. He didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to speak. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the main hall of Jinxiu Pavilion It was eerily quiet.

Fortunately, this stalemate didn't last long. Seeing Murong Jing's eyes fixed on a piece of paper, the guard standing beside him laughed softly: "Master, although the handwriting in that letter may not be too many Well, it is also dignified and decent, but the characters on this piece of paper are crooked, like a child who is just learning to write, and it is absolutely impossible for one person to write it."

"That's right, master, if you want your subordinates to read, even if that person is blindfolded and writes with his left hand, he can write much better than this." Another guard also echoed.

The guard's unintentional joke made Murong Jing suddenly enlightened, yes, the left hand can also write, such a simple truth, why didn't he think of it!

Murong Jing's surprised expression made Xu's heart tremble with fear. Looking at the other party's appearance, he had obviously thought of this hidden joint. If she followed this line of thought, the situation would be very unfavorable to her. Once she was convicted of this crime, she It's all over!

No, she hasn't got rid of that little bitch Qu Lingxu yet, she must not just die like this, there must be a way...

In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xu's mind, and she finally decided to write more scribbled words. Anyway, the handwriting was different, and she refused to admit it, so Murong Jing couldn't beat her up.

Murong Jing finally thought of this important joint, and naturally put it into action immediately. Soon, many handwritings written by Xu's left hand were presented to Murong Jing. Murong Jing went through them one by one, and finally put Xu's He took out the paper he was writing on and handed it to Liu Hengzhi.

Liu Hengzhi respectfully took the rice paper from Murong Jing's hand. Although Xu's handwriting was deliberately changed from the usual posture of raising and lowering the pen when writing, his handwriting was also scribbled. There is not much difference, but after careful comparison, Liu Hengzhi still firmly cupped his hands at Murong Jing and said, "Replying to Your Highness, although the handwriting on the two letters looks quite different, it can still be seen that they are from the One hand."

Although she was prepared to refuse to admit it to death, after hearing this, Xu's eyes still felt dark for a while, and she couldn't help shaking, almost unable to stand up. The same is true.

Murong Jing saw Xu's performance in his eyes, and couldn't help a sneer in his heart, but he didn't explode immediately, but asked indifferently: "Are you sure you won't make mistakes?"

"Although I'm not talented, I have seen many calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, so I definitely can't make a mistake." In order to convince Murong Jing of his words, Liu Hengzhi turned over the two pieces of letter paper, and was about to say something, when Xu's speech was already thumped. Kneeling in front of Murong Jing, he said angrily: "His Royal Highness, the minister's wife has never written such a letter, and I don't know any secret guards. I don't know why this lord wants to wrong the minister's wife. Please look into it!"

"Of course I won't assume that you did this just based on his words, but I'm very surprised. There are so many people here, why doesn't Liu Hengzhi wrong others, but why does he want to target Aunt Xu?" Murong Jing also said. He didn't ask Xu to get up, but said slowly.

"My wife doesn't know, but my wife was really wronged!" Mrs. Xu didn't make any excuses, she just kept crying.

"Your Highness..." The matter is of great importance, Liu Hengzhi naturally knows the importance, and was about to open his mouth to argue that he did not make a mistake, when Murong Jing interrupted him, and said lightly: "This matter is of great importance, since this palace is ordered by the emperor If you investigate, you will definitely find out the truth, and if you don't wrong a good person, of course...you won't let a wicked person go unpunished!" After finishing speaking, Murong Jing raised his hand, and the guards behind him immediately understood, and ordered Madam Yu to be arrested. Take control with Officer Xiao.

Nanny Yu never thought that Murong Jing would strike at her first, but no matter how stupid she was, she knew that being taken away by two thick and thick guards at this time would never do anything good, so her face turned pale with fright. Struggling vigorously, he shouted: "Master, save this servant, save this servant!"

At this time, Mrs. Xu was already in danger of protecting herself, so she didn't have the extra energy to take care of Yumama, but Yumama knew too many secrets about her, if she was allowed to be tortured, she would confess to her sooner or later, so she panicked Said: "His Royal Highness, where are you going to take the minister's servants?"

Seeing that Mrs. Xu was still struggling when he was about to die, a trace of disdain flashed in Murong Jing's eyes, and her tone became even colder, "When will the crown prince investigate the case and need to explain to you?"

Seeing that Murong Jing was determined to put himself to death, there was no need for Mrs. Xu to maintain superficial politeness with the other party, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Highness wants to investigate the case, and my wife has nothing to say, but the matter is still inconclusive, you How can you set up a torture hall in such a private way, not to mention that Miss Xiao is the person in front of the imperial concubine, so you should take care of the imperial concubine's face."

At this level, Xu couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion. At this time, Concubine Xu Gui and Murong Li in the palace must have also received the news and are trying to save her. There will also be transfers.

It was not a wise move for Xu to bring out Concubine Xu to suppress Murong Jing, and she ignored an important issue, that is, from the moment Murongli learned that the news was revealed in the court, Xu's He was already an abandoned child in his eyes, and he was very nervous now, but what was nervous was not how to save Xu's life, but how to cleanly remove himself from this crap.

The road to succession is dangerous every step of the way, and Murong Li will not hesitate to abandon anyone who may cause trouble, even if this person is his own aunt, no exception.

As for Concubine Xu Gui, she would not plead for mercy for this stupid younger sister.

Mrs. Xu is in the game of chess, sometimes it is inevitable that he will not know how much he is, but Murong Jing, who is an outsider, knows it all too well. I saw him chuckle lightly, and said with a faint smile: "The imperial concubine is always kind. Renyi naturally understands Ben Gong's painstaking efforts, so I don't need to bother Auntie about it."

?Just when Murong Jing waved his hand to ask the guards to take the two of them down, a guard rushed in and said: "Master, Master Yin Song of Jingzhao Mansion is out to see you."

Hearing the guard's words, Murong Jing raised a satisfied smile on his lips, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him come in!"

Song Zhiwen is a member of the princeling party. When he received such an important case, he naturally reported it to Murong Jing immediately. When these two things came together, Murong Jing knew that there must be something related with his toes. Zhiwen gave an order to make him tell the truth to the servant as soon as possible at all costs.

Murong Jing personally gave the order, and Song Zhiwen naturally did his best. When he came here at this time, it is likely that he found useful news.

Before the thoughts flashed through Murong Jing's mind, Song Zhiwen in official uniform appeared in sight. He knelt down and bowed to Murong Jing, then took out a piece of paper with palm prints from his sleeve, respectfully He handed it to the other party, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, I was entrusted by Princess Xinyue to try the case of the general's wife falling into the water, and now the result has been reached." He glanced at Xu Shi calmly, Continued: "According to the confession of the servant named Chen Song, Aunt Xu had a lot of resentment towards the general's wife because she couldn't be promoted as an ordinary wife for a long time, and she was always looking for a chance to take revenge. With better water quality, he dived into the water first, and then pretended to fall into the water to lead his wife to the artificial lake, and then a person hiding in the dark pushed his wife into the water. The wife did not understand water skills, and was dragged vigorously by the two Going to the bottom of the water, naturally there is no possibility of survival.”

At that time, it was Qu Fengyan who pushed Chen's family into the water, but Chen Song didn't know about these joints, so he didn't confess them together, otherwise, Qu Fengyan would be unable to escape like Xu's.

As early as the moment Song Zhiwen entered the main hall, Xu knew that it would be difficult for her to get out, but even so, she absolutely could not admit it, so she screamed: "That slave is talking nonsense, I have never harmed you. Never, madam!"
