Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 205 The murderer found by Su Quanye

"The Queen..."

Gao Yunhuai supported Queen Jiang, his eyes full of heartache: "You are His Majesty's original wife, how could His Majesty treat you like this..."

His eldest daughter is like the unattainable bright moon in the vast night sky.

But he could only watch helplessly as the former flower of Gaoling fell into the mud...

Thinking of Shen Zhinian, Gao Yunhuai said viciously: "It's all Concubine Rou's fault! She shouldn't have shown up and bothered Her Majesty!"

Gao Yunhuai used to be a guard, and his skills were far better than those of ordinary eunuchs. When he was in the palace, he did a lot of shady things for her.

Hearing the murderous intent in Gao Yunhuai's tone, Queen Jiang grabbed his arm and asked with difficulty: "What do you want to do?"

Gao Yunhuai said coldly: "I cannot bear to see the Majesty being abused. Anyone who is an eyesore to the Majesty should disappear from this world!"

"no!"

Queen Jiang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I want Concubine Rou to die more than anyone else! But she is pregnant with the royal heir, and His Majesty favors her. If anything happens to her, His Majesty will investigate it thoroughly."

"It's not the time to kill her yet, don't be impulsive."

Gao Yunhuai could only take a deep breath and suppress his reluctance: "...Yes."

……

"His Majesty……"

Mengpin had a shy smile on her face, and she touched her belly and bowed, "The plum blossoms in Yonghe Palace are in full bloom. Your Majesty was not free yesterday. I wonder if you have time to honor me today?"

When saying this, Mengpin did not forget to glance at Shen Zhinian secretly, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

For the sake of the royal heir, His Majesty cannot reject her twice in a row.

If His Majesty could be asked to leave and Concubine Rou could go back alone with a limp, the anger in her heart would be relieved a little!

Nangong Xuanyu didn't have a deep impression of Mengpin, but he attached great importance to offspring. Having offended her yesterday, it was difficult for him to refuse again today.

But... before he could open his mouth, Su Quanye came hurriedly over holding a whisk: "Your servant greets His Majesty! You greet the two ladies!"

Shen Zhinian's gaze fell on him at the first moment.

Nangong Xuanyu asked in a deep voice: "But what was the result of the interrogation of Concubine Rou's injury?"

"This……"

Su Quanye gave Mengpin a complicated look.

This made Concubine Meng a little confused.

What are you watching her do?

"…Your Majesty, at first, Liu Xu refused to confess, saying that no one had instructed her, and that she had been wronged by Concubine Rou, so she deliberately took revenge on Concubine Rou, hoping that the consecration ceremony would not be completed."

"But everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Rou is the most tolerant person and has never made things difficult for the palace maids. Others in Zhongcui Palace also say that Concubine Rou is the best mistress."

"Liu Xu's reason is totally untenable."

"After being severely tortured, Liu Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed. She said...said...it was Concubine Meng who ordered her to do it..."

Having said this, Su Quanye's voice gradually became lower.

Mengpin was rarely favored on weekdays, which was nothing. But she was pregnant, so her status was noble. Su Quanye was also very distressed when the investigation was found on her.

After all, if Concubine Meng gave birth to a prince in a few months, her status would be even more noble. Thinking of what happened today, it is hard to guarantee that she would not hate him.

But he dared not disobey His Majesty's order and could only tell the truth.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Concubine Meng never expected that she would actually see it on herself while she was just watching the show!

"When did I instruct Liu Xu to murder Concubine Rou? This is completely nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, it must be that slave girl who deliberately bit me. You must believe me..."

It was really not a good thing to see such a commotion in front of Kunning Palace. Nangong Xuanyu didn't want to go in again. Seeing Queen Jiang's hypocritical face, he said, "Take all the relevant people to Yangxin Palace."

"Yes!"

Shen Zhinian sat in the warm sedan, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

She had also suspected Mengpin before.

After the contact, she felt that Mengpin not only had the motive to attack, but also regarded her as an enemy in her heart.

But after a rational analysis, Shen Zhinian believed that it was unlikely that the person behind the scenes was Concubine Meng.

Unexpectedly, the result of the interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment turned out to be Concubine Meng...

Shen Zhinian did not jump to conclusions and decided to observe further.

Not long after, they arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Mengpin almost stumbled down from the sedan chair and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I really didn't do it!"

"I am already pregnant, and Liu Ruyan has taken the blame. You can't let others frame me again! Your Majesty..."

Why is her life so miserable? Everyone who does something bad is blamed on her?

The emperor did not even glance at Concubine Meng. He simply gave Shen Zhinian a seat, then set his eyes on Su Quanye: "Go on."

"Yes."

Su Quanye cupped his hands and said, "Although the things embroidered by the palace embroiderers are similar, there are still subtle differences in each person's stitches."

"In addition to Liu Xu's confession, the handkerchief that Concubine Rou ordered people to search her room was also found to have been used by Concubine Meng..."

The young eunuch behind him brought up the tray.

After carefully looking at the handkerchief inside, Mengpin hurriedly explained: "This... this handkerchief is indeed mine, but it was lost a month ago."

"It's just a handkerchief. I didn't find it at the time, so I didn't take it seriously. I really don't know why it appeared in Liu Xu's room..."

Nangong Xuanyu had basically no trust in the women in the harem, and was too lazy to waste time and energy on them.

If Concubine Meng had not been pregnant, he would have ordered her to be dragged away the moment Su Quanye presented the evidence.

At this moment, he looked at Mengpin with disgust: "There are witnesses and evidence, and you still want to deny it?"

Mengpin's eyes were full of tears, and she could no longer be proud: "Your Majesty, I really didn't do it! Please believe me! Your Majesty..."

Shen Zhinian watched this scene quietly.

Nangong Xuanyu might not be unaware that there were doubts about the matter, but he just didn't take Concubine Meng seriously and was too lazy to worry about her.

"Nian Nian, what do you think?"

Mengpin gritted her teeth, her eyes full of hatred: "I understand!"

"You staged the needle prick yourself just to frame me!"

"If you get rid of me, your unborn child will have one less competitor, right?!"

"Liu Xu is yours, and you deliberately instigated her to slander me!"

At this point, Mengpin knelt down and grabbed the corner of Nangong Xuanyu's clothes: "Your Majesty, I really didn't do these things!"

"Princess Rou is a ruthless person. You must not be fooled by her, Your Majesty!"

Shen Zhinian's eyes suddenly turned cold.

She had originally wanted to tell the people from the Ministry of Punishment her analysis and ask them not to let the real murderer go, but now it seems there is no need for that.

Before catching the real murderer, it would be better to let Concubine Meng suffer first!
