Chapter 404 (1/2)
Three days later, the case still had no progress. During this period, Dongyou Jie came to inquire about the situation countless times. The queen and Yan Shuzi also came to inquire about the news several times, all of which failed.
Just these days, there was a news circulating in the palace. It was said that Yan Xiaoxi lost the hairpin to delay the time. He could not condemn the imperial concubine and lost the evidence. It was really over. In addition, Yan Xiaoxi was the princess of other countries, and it was not easy for the Emperor to punish him. If he said a few words orally, it would be over.
It is said that the imperial concubine is lucky. Even God is helping her.
Of course, there is another saying that Princess Lin deliberately lost the evidence in order to help her get rid of the crime. It is said that it is true and which is false.
The palace also set up a gambling house to bet on how the queen would deal with the matter, favoring the queen or the imperial concubine.
Of course, the well-known news also spread to Yan Shuzi's ears. She pounded the table angrily. She was not glad that she was out of danger, but felt sorry that a great opportunity was gone.
”Lady Shu, everything you ordered has been done.” this is Yan Shuzi's steward maid. She is smart and cunning, and she likes her very much.
”Good.” Yan Shuzi didn't want to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She wouldn't be willing to die if she didn't bring down the imperial concubine. Therefore, she obstructed it in the hope that it would help Yan Xiaoxi, but she didn't know she had done a stupid thing.
”Princess Shu, Princess Lin, please.” a eunuch came in from outside the palace to convey the news.
”The palace knows.” Yan Shuzi looked at the palace maid, changed her clothes and went to Yan Xiaoxi's palace.
She didn't know what Yan Xiaoxi had to do with herself so late. She walked over with doubts.
After arriving, I went in and found that she invited more than herself, the queen, the imperial concubine and the emperor. All the people have arrived. Has the case come to an end?
So fast, isn't it?
”See the emperor, long live, long live.” Yan Shuzi thought back and saluted quickly.
”Flat body.” dongyoujie raised her hand to indicate that she could get up.
Yan Shuzi got up and saluted the queen and the imperial concubine again. She couldn't be inferior, so she had to grovel.
”Get up,” the queen and the imperial concubine said in unison.
”I thought this case would become an unsolved mystery. Unexpectedly, Princess Lin did not live up to her trust and found out the truth.” the speaker was the queen. She thought that the imperial concubine sent someone to destroy the evidence in order to get rid of the crime.
The loss of hairpin is indeed a fact. How does Yan Xiaoxi judge the real murderer? The imperial concubine won't recognize it if she loses the evidence. Let's see what Yan Xiaoxi will say.
”My sister never disappoints people.” Yan Shuzi's remark is a pun, but it has another meaning.
Yan Xiaoxi smiled and didn't answer.
”The palace also expects Princess Lin to return my innocence. Fortunately, the truth will come out soon.” the imperial concubine said with full confidence.
”Princess Lin has worked hard these days. She has put a lot of heart into the affairs of dongjingguo.” dongyoujie is also curious about how Yan Xiaoxi will deal with it and do not offend.
This woman always impressed him. The more he got along with her, the more he couldn't leave her. He regretted that he shouldn't have married her to nanshaui.
”Don't be impatient until I tell you in detail.” Yan Xiaoxi had a winning face and knew everything.
”Well.” they nodded and were confused. Of course, except for the imperial concubine, she was the only one who knew the mystery.
Yan Xiaoxi stood up, lingered in the room and said, ”the evidence of this matter is conclusive on the surface, pointing to the imperial concubine. It's strange to have too much confirmation. These two kinds of evidence come out inexplicably.”
