Chapter 97

Su Yan sat on the ground blankly, trying to use force, but her legs didn't work, her hands were lying on the rocks and it was cold.

The green clothes swayed on the water, gradually floating up, and suddenly a pair of wide-open eyes appeared from the entanglement of algae.

Go straight in the direction of Su Yan!As if with the deepest resentment, pain...

"Come here..." The voice was as low as a gnat, and Su Yan subconsciously grabbed the trees and grass beside her.

The ghost of the cold moon, the sky is pressing down, and an unprecedented fear is shrouded.

Suddenly, a hand was lightly placed on the shoulder.

"Ah!" Su Yan screamed and jumped up suddenly.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

Under the moonlight, King Changle stood tall, his eyes cast on the water.

She stroked her chest, not daring to turn her head, "Look carefully again...it must not be Shuangshuang, I misidentified the person...."

Duan Zhaoye approached, took her into his arms, turned his back to the lake, and avoided letting her see the situation in front of him again.

"It's her." He whispered in his ear, and then patted her on the back lightly, "What you have to do now is not to be afraid, but to find out the real culprit."

The cold body gradually warmed up, and Su Yan realized for the first time that there were men's chests in this world that could teach her peace of mind and dispel fear.

There was a brief tenderness, but soon, she came to her senses and pushed him away, "You also think that Shuangshuang didn't slip into the water, right?"

Duan Zhaoye's expression darkened, "It's absolutely impossible."

Su Yan didn't know whether he would be sad when he saw the woman he was about to marry drowning, but she couldn't calm down now. Did all of this really have nothing to do with her...

Lan Ruo had already brought people over, and after seeing the situation clearly, they were all shocked.

"Pick up the person and send him back to Yilan Palace, and tell the imperial physician to come for diagnosis and treatment immediately." Su Yan tried her best to control her voice, everyone was waiting for her to preside over the situation, she couldn't panic, even if her heart was already in a storm.

Even if you know it, your soul is gone, and you have no way to return to heaven.

Ning Shuangshuang is pure and kind by nature, and they have lived together in the same palace for so long. She is different from Su Zhi. She is a pure-hearted little girl raised in a deep boudoir. Su Yan liked her a little when she first saw her, and treated her like a younger sister. It's called the eyes.

Although there was a faint unhappiness in my heart at the moment when His Majesty bestowed the marriage, it did not affect my attitude towards her in the slightest.

But all of this came to naught tonight.

"Report to Your Majesty, and inform Lord Ning." Su Yan looked at the person lying motionless on the shelf, and reached out to close her eyes for her.

It was cold, to the bone.

What Duan Zhaoye said was right, grief is useless, and Ning Shuangshuang cannot die with peace in his eyes.

At the wedding banquet, her smiling face was still in front of my eyes.Her words of letting herself preside over the big wedding still ring in her ears.

In the blink of an eye, the fresh woman turned into a cold and speechless corpse.

Duan Zhaoye stood still, and Su Yan walked further and further away, only hearing his last few words, "Whoever hurts those close to me, I will never let go..."

The inside of Yilan Palace was dull and sad, Ning Wenyuan stood outside the door, motionless like a stone carving, only his eyes were fixed inside quietly.

The door opened instantly, and Ning Wenyuan was shocked. Even if Su Yan was sitting far away, he could clearly see his body trembling.

Su Zhi came out first.She threw herself into his arms suddenly, crying uncontrollably.

Ning Wenyuan looked at the inner room across her, with his hands hanging by his sides, as if he had lost his soul, he let Su Zhi hug him, shaking, and never said a word.

When Imperial Physician Hu reported it, he just shook his head, "I am sorry for the empress's day, Miss Ning has been drowning for too long and is unable to return to heaven."

In fact, I knew the result early in the morning, but it was a different feeling to really say it.

Su Yan hesitated, feeling unable to face Ning Wenyuan.

She walked over slowly, "Master Ning, let's go in."

Ning Wenyuan turned his head, his eyes were red with tears, but those eyes pierced into Su Yan's heart like a sharp sword.

At that glance, Su Yan could feel that Ning Wenyuan was blaming her and blaming her. After all these years, no matter how angry he was, he would not be like this.

Only this time, it really hurt his sore spot.

"I will find out what happened today, and I will give you an explanation from Mr. Ning."

"The truth? Confess." Ning Wenyuan suddenly pushed Su Zhi away, and slowly approached, "There are no people, so what's the use of having those illusory things... Shuangshuang regards you as trusting as a relative, if the empress can take strict care of you, She won't die!"

In fact, Su Yan didn't feel good in her heart, she knew the pain of losing a loved one.

This once high-spirited man, who once devoted himself to protecting her, now stands in front of her haggardly, no matter how much he accuses, Su Yan can forgive him.

So she chose to remain silent and not to argue.

"Little sister has always wanted to show me the wedding dress, she will definitely be the most beautiful bride..." Ning Wenyuan turned his head away, "But now, I will never see it again."

Su Zhi spread out her palms, "These two pearls that fell from the wedding dress will be held in her hands until she dies... If she hadn't gone out to find her eldest sister, she wouldn't have fallen into the water..."

All the accusations fell on Su Yan alone, and Su Zhi added fuel to the fire at this time, and she didn't want to pay any attention to it.

But when she caught a glimpse of the half bronze medal next to the bead, she couldn't help noticing something different.

He took what was in Su Zhi's hand, and carefully spread it out in the palm of his hand. The copper piece looked like something in the palace, but it was also an ornament on the wedding dress.

"Sister, you are still in the mood to play with these things now." Su Zhi leaned against Ning Wenyuan and complained aloud.

"My minister wants to bring my younger sister home." He decided to step inside, disregarding palace rules and etiquette.

Su Yan followed in, looked out the window and said, "The night is getting darker, tomorrow the Japanese Palace will send chariots and horses to take you back home."

Ning Wenyuan bent down and picked up the person on the bed, "Forgive me for not obeying my orders."

He insisted on leaving, but Su Yan didn't stop her, she said softly, "I'm sorry."

Ning Wenyuan didn't stay, but these were no longer important, what she owed him, even if she died, she wouldn't be able to pay it back.

From the first time they met on Changjie, Su Yan knew that she would have to bear him a lot to live a new life...

Staring at the copper plate, she asked, "According to your inference, when did Miss Ning drown?"

"According to the inference of the old minister, it has been an hour."

Su Yan pinched her fingers, it was about three o'clock in the unitary hour, that was exactly when she arrived in the cold palace!
When they came outside the hall, they saw Duan Zhaoling rushing over, with King Changle behind him.

After all, it was a royal wedding, and the ceremony was about to be held, but the bride suddenly died suddenly. How could I give an explanation to the courtiers, and how could I give an explanation to the Ning clan...

"I have sent a chariot and horse to take Ning Qing back," Duan Zhaoling said half a sentence, then frowned, arched his waist and coughed a few times.

Since the wind and cold a year ago, Duan Zhaoling has suffered from a cough, and it has been repeated repeatedly without getting better.

"Don't be offended if you don't have to. Master Ning lost his sister, it's only because of grief." As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, King Changle, who had been sitting silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head and gave her a meaningful look.

In desperation, Su Yan was only thinking of Ning Wenyuan, but she didn't expect her words to be inappropriate, so she quickly added, "My concubine is also ignorant, and doesn't know how to persuade her."

Duan Zhaoling waved his hand, "Death is the most important thing, so don't worry about small things."

Su Yan sat on the couch, "According to my concubine, there must be an inside story about this matter. Miss Ning has always been prudent, she would never fall into the water abruptly, and the concubine has checked, and the night watchmen did not hear any calls for help. If it falls into the water, even if it doesn't drown, it will always make a sound."

Duan Zhaoling nodded, "If that's the case, then we need to investigate thoroughly. There are people who are so bold as to kill people in the palace! It's embarrassing for you."

Changle Wang said, "It's my ministers who have no blessings."

"Your Majesty, look at this, it was found in Miss Ning's hands." Su Yan handed over the bronze medal.

"Wang Zhongming, immediately go to the treasury to check and find out for me which palace this thing belongs to."

Although the night is deep, no one is destined to fall asleep.

Duan Zhaoling was distraught at this time, it was always not peaceful when he entered the harem, Lin Qingqing had already annoyed him, but unexpectedly he was poisoned and dumb after entering the cold palace.

Before there was any clue about this matter, news came that Ning Shuangshuang had drowned.

He rubbed the center of his brows, closed his eyes for a nap, and his mind turned a lot.

The three of them sat opposite each other, all silent, the night wind of early spring blowing in from time to time, stirring up some warmth.

After a while, Wang Zhongming hurried to report, "The old slave has found it."

"Tell me the truth." Duan Zhaoling sat up straight.

Su Yan was worried, not knowing what was hidden behind the truth, but she dared to conclude that it must have something to do with Leng Gong.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is the Cuizhi Palace allocated to Concubine Shu last month."

Su Yan's spirit was shaken, if it was Concubine Shu, then everything could be explained!
"Your Majesty, my concubine remembered something. The place where Miss Ning fell into the water was the path leading to the Leng Palace, and the time of drowning happened to be the same as the delivery time of the Leng Palace. Then," Su Yan said solemnly, "Miss Ning must have hit the water." It broke the trick of poisoning people in Lin Qingqing's meal."

Duan Zhaoling suddenly realized, "If you are still careful, then these two incidents were done by one person. If you go to the area near the place where the blue lake fell into the water, you will find some clues."

This time, if she can expose Concubine Shu's painted skin, it can be regarded as a comfort to the souls of so many dead souls in heaven.

As a result of the inspection, it was indeed found that there were footprints of two newly stepped people under the tree, and there was white powder left in the surrounding grass.

Duan Zhaoling slammed the case angrily, "Concubine Chuan Shu, come here!"

For a while, Su Yan thought, Concubine Shu has done many unrighteous actions, and she has finally shown her feet. This time, I am afraid that she will not be able to argue.

Concubine Shu arrived soon. She had an elegant appearance and saluted without haste, "I don't know why your majesty is eager to recruit ministers and concubines?"

Duan Zhaoling snorted coldly, and threw the bronze medal in front of her face, "This thing belongs to your palace!"

Concubine Shu picked it up, and after examining it carefully, she still nodded calmly, "This belongs to Aunt Luo Min, a female official in my palace."

Su Yan didn't expect that she has such a city, and she is not at all chaotic before the battle.

"Ms. Ning grabbed hold of this before she drowned. So, instigate Luo Min to plot to poison Lin Qingqing first, and then kill her to silence her, Concubine Shu! You are so vicious!"

Duan Zhaoling clasped his hands on the edge of the chair, clasped it tightly, and questioned sharply.

Since Li Ling entered the palace, he has always been docile and understanding, which is a rare good character in the harem, who can't be judged by his appearance...

Concubine Shu looked up suspiciously, "I don't understand what His Majesty said, but this bronze medal was given to someone else by Luo Min three days ago."

Everyone paused, and looking at Concubine Shu's sincere appearance, they couldn't find anything suspicious, even the eyes were extremely clear.

Duan Zhaoling began to waver, "Who can prove it?"

"Your Majesty told Zhou Cainv that she would know when she came and asked."

After a while, several people were kneeling on the ground, Zhou Cainu was obviously sleepy, she was afraid that she just woke up from a dream, but she didn't know that she would never go back after that.

"Return to Your Majesty," she flipped through the bronze medal, "This is what my concubine asked Luo Min for, but it was lost yesterday, how did you find it?"

Hearing this, if there were not so many people present, Su Yan would have stepped forward to expose her with her own hands!But she can't.

What a trick to kill with a knife... Concubine Shu, you are really a formidable means... After things like this, you can get out of your body!

When Zhou Cainv understood the ins and outs, her face turned pale with fright, and she begged for mercy, saying that this matter had nothing to do with her.

But there are all the witnesses and material evidence, and Concubine Shu testified that she had always been at odds with Lin Qingqing, and she came and went again and again, and everyone talked about it.

It's a shame that Zhou Cai'er was charged for nothing, and when she was dragged down, she passed out from crying.

Su Yan was trembling all over, but Concubine Shu suddenly asked, "I heard that the imperial concubine was also in the cold palace at that time."
