Chapter 325 (1/2)



325 A major breakthrough in the case (1)

There were. few things he needed to confirm … “What is it?” he asked.

Huaiqing pursed his lips. As he watched Xu Qi ‘an, he wondered what he might discover. He, who was also carefully searching the room, was in a state of confusion at the moment. He did not find any useful clues or major discoveries.

“First of all, if Consort Fu really suffered from the crown prince’s abuse, she would definitely call for help. Why didn’t the officers and Palace maids of the clear wind Palace hear it? Let’s go downstairs first … Go and gather all the palace maids and officers in the courtyard.”

The last sentence was directed at the leader.

Everyone immediately went downstairs and gathered all the messengers and Palace maids in the courtyard. There were twelve people in total, four Palace maids and eight messengers.

“All of you, listen well. This is Lord Xu, who is here to investigate the case by imperial edict. He has full authority in the case of Consort Fu’s murder. Lord Xu has something to ask you. You must answer all questions and not hide anything.” The sub-chief said in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

Everyone lowered their heads in response.

The leader nodded in satisfaction and looked at Xu Qi ‘an.

Xu Qi ‘an locked his eyes on a pretty Palace maid and waved. “You, come over.”

The little palace maid lowered her head and walked forward with small steps.

“Come a little closer.”

The young Palace maid came to Xu Qi ‘an, and he whispered a few words into his ear. Then he said, “”Go on.”

The little palace maid jogged into the attic.

What was he doing?

The young eunuch who framed and supervised the video was confused, while huaiqing looked pensive.

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the rest of the palace maids and officers and said, “”This official asks you, on the day Consort Fu met with an accident, why weren’t there any Palace maids serving by her side?”

The palace maid and the servant looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes turned sharp, and he scolded, “”Those who conceal or don’t report the information will be regarded as the suspect of Consort Fu’s murder and sent to the prison.”

“Sir, we don’t dare to go near the attic,” a young eunuch immediately replied.

He didn’t dare to get close to the attic?

Xu Qi ‘an felt that he had found a bright spot. A man had entered Consort Fu’s bedroom, but the servants in the courtyard did not dare to approach. What did this mean?

It meant that there was a grassland above Emperor Yuan jing’s head.

Xu Qian was secretly looking forward to it.

The young eunuch explained,”Her Highness Consort Fu loves to drink. When she drinks too much, she would beat and scold the servants of the clear wind Palace.” We were afraid of suffering unexpected disasters, so when we saw the Empress drinking, we would stay far away.”

“Is it like this every time?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

“Yes, there are no exceptions.” The young eunuch replied.

“When did it start?”
