The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 13
Zhou Xuemei heard the knock on the door, opened the door and saw that it was the maid next to Zhao Yuning, she couldn't help but think of the matter of inciting Fu Ya to poison Zhao Yuning, she couldn't help asking a little guilty: "Are you the maid next to sister Yuning? Find me Is there a problem?"

Nian Se walked into the room unceremoniously and said: "It's okay, it's just that my lady said that she was lucky to recover so quickly thanks to the care and care of all the sisters these days. Pick some good jewellery, and give some to each of the sisters." While talking, she took out the pure gold hairpin from her bosom.

Zhou Xuemei took a look at the hairpin in Nianse's hand, and couldn't help being attracted. She had never seen such an exquisite hairpin, but after all, she was a lady from everyone, so she couldn't be too rude and retreated: "Oh, How embarrassing is this, since the emperor bestowed it on Sister Yuning, how can I overstep it."

Nian Se took Zhou Xuemei's hand, put the golden hairpin in Zhou Xuemei's hand and said: "Why miss Zhou, why do you have to see each other? In the future, you and my lady will serve the emperor together, and there are still many things to take care of each other. Just accept it." .”

Zhou Xuemei looked at the extremely delicate hairpin, and was really moved. After giving way, she took it. Later, Nianse made an excuse to visit Zhou Xuemei's room. Zhou Xuemei just received a heavy gift from someone, so I'm sorry If she refused, she let Nianse take a look at it casually. Nianse was like a little girl who just came out of the country. She seemed to be very curious about everything. When she saw everything in Zhou Xuemei's room, she had to ask Zhou Xuemei what it was for. Later, Zhou Xuemei became a little impatient.

At this time, Nianse noticed a pair of silver earrings lying on the jewelry box next to Zhou Xuemei's pillow, so when Zhou Xuemei was unprepared, she put the pair of earrings into her sleeves, looked at them for a while, and then excused herself to go back and have a look How was the lady, and left Zhou Xuemei's room.

After leaving Zhou Xuemei's room, Nian Se left Yuqing Palace and walked quietly to the House of Internal Affairs. When he arrived at the House of Internal Affairs, he saw that the guards had decreased. He wondered in his heart, "The guards were strengthened in the morning, why did they withdraw so quickly?"

In order to clear up the doubts in her heart, Nian Se pretended to have a good relationship with Fu Ya, and wanted to ask the gatekeeper eunuch to accommodate her and send Fu Ya off for the last time.

The alkyne gatekeeper eunuch said angrily: "Everyone has already been taken away, so what are you looking for?"

"Ah, pulled it away? Where did it go?" Nian Se asked in surprise.

"I went to do an autopsy for you, and you can't get out of the palace. What's the use of asking so much, go away go go go go away!"

After hearing what the gatekeeper eunuch said, Nian Se hurried back to Yuqing Palace to ask Gu Xinning to return.

Nian Se returned to Gu Xinning's room and took care of all the tall pillars. Gu Xinning pondered for a while and said, "It's okay. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has reduced its manpower, no one else is allowed to enter, which means they are still guarding the cell where the accident happened. You Go ahead and do it as planned.”

After hearing this, Nian Se took the order and left.

In the evening, the servant who was guarding Fu Ya's cell found an earring in the straw on the ground when cleaning the cell. Fu Ya's body was strictly searched, everything was packed, and all items including the long cloth belt that might be used to hang herself were confiscated, and there was no way she was still wearing earrings.

And the earrings are still new, shiny and barely stained.Therefore, it is certain that this earring must have been left by someone from outside. However, the servant had questioned the jailer before. At that time, the jailer insisted that no one had visited Fu Ya. lying.

So the steward in charge of investigating the case arrested and tortured all the servants who were in charge of the House of Internal Affairs that day.Under the heavy punishment, a soldier couldn't hold on and told the truth. Sure enough, this soldier had accepted money from a beautiful girl that day. "At that time, the young girl from the beautiful girl team said that she and Fu Ya were good sisters." , couldn't bear Fu Ya's troubles, so I wanted to visit and condolences, the little one was fascinated by money at the time, so I didn't think much about it, and quietly let her in."

"And after that! If that's the case, after the homicide, why did you conceal it and not report it? Could it be that you were an accomplice in collusion with her?" The interrogator deliberately described the servant and the murderer as a team, in order to increase the psychological pressure of the criminal servant and a sense of crisis.

"No, no, the little one is not an accomplice. The little one was going to tell the story. Later, the beautiful girl found the servant and threatened that now that she was killed, the matter has become a big mess, because I let her in. If I dare to tell the truth, it must be a capital offense, and if I can insist that no one has visited the deceased, then this matter may become an unsolved case, and then it will be closed." The guard hurriedly told the whole thing.

The interrogator then asked again: "The one who bribed you is that beautiful girl, do you know it?"

The soldier replied: "The little one didn't ask for her name, but if I see her, I will definitely recognize her."

"Okay! Let's go to Yuqing Palace now!" The interrogator gave an order, and everyone brought their servants to go to Yuxiu Palace.

Arriving at Yuxiu Palace, after the interrogator explained the purpose of coming, the servants, nuns, and eunuchs in charge all came out to greet them, and hurriedly called out the beautiful girls from each room, lined up for the guards who committed the crime to identify, and waited for all the beautiful girls to arrive. , but Zhou Xuemei was nowhere to be seen.

The interrogator first asked the guards to identify the beautiful women who were present, but none of the beautiful women was the person the guards mentioned, so the interrogator ordered to start searching for Zhou Xuemei's whereabouts, but after searching all the inside and outside of Zhenge Yuqing Palace, After going outside, Zhou Xuemei was nowhere to be seen.

So the interrogator had no choice but to report to the emperor, who was very displeased when he heard about it, and ordered the servants to find Zhou Xuemei no matter what, so as to calm down the situation as soon as possible.

Ye Junyan said that whether he was anxious or angry, it was not because people died in the palace. In what year can dozens of people not die in the palace?Ye Junyan was angry because the incident happened in this draft, and Ye Junyan and the empress dowager quickly disagreed.Ye Junyan's mother, Concubine Xue, was bullied by the current empress dowager, and the empress dowager wanted to make her niece a queen, which made Ye Junyan deeply annoyed.

However, when the empress dowager was in charge of the draft before, there had never been incidents such as poisoning the show girl or killing people, but this time it was the first time I presided over the draft. Ridicule, how can Ye Junyan not be angry or angry.

After ordering the servants to thoroughly search the palace, Ye Junyan still felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, and ordered the criminal department to detain Zhou Yu'an, and after Zhou Xuemei was arrested, they would try and decide the case together.

At night, Nian Se asked Gu Xinning: "Miss, where do you think Zhou Xuemei will hide?"

Gu Xinning sneered and said, "It doesn't matter where she hides, this time, the sky is going to kill her, and she has nowhere to escape."

Nian Se nodded and said: "Well, I originally wanted to use the earrings to blame her, but I didn't expect that she bribed the soldiers to silence her. It seems that she really responded to that sentence. .”

It turned out that before this, Nianse sneaked into the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and left an earring in the cell where Fu Ya lived before. The intention was to frame Zhou Xuemei, and the other earring was intended to be replaced by the servants after the show girls , quietly hid in a corner of Zhou Xuemei's room, and used it as evidence to frame Zhou Xuemei.

But unexpectedly, in the process of interrogating the servant, the servant could not resist the torture and told the truth, unexpectedly, Zhou Xuemei murdered Fu Ya and poisoned Fu Ya.

Originally, Gu Xinning thought it was just a pair of earrings, and they were not strong enough, and was thinking about how to deepen the servant's suspicion of Zhou Xuemei. Unexpectedly, all the witnesses and physical evidence were gathered in a short time, which made Gu Xinning very uncomfortable.

Originally used as earrings for framing, they turned out to be clues leading to the truth. Is such a coincidence considered ironic?It is indeed what Nian Se said that the sky net is restored, and it is sparse but not missing.
