Chapter 560

Imperial concubine Zhao seemed to be frightened by her cold eyes and said nothing more. The whole party went to the other end of the imperial garden.

Mo Xuetong followed the ladies and CHILDES without saying a word.

Everyone followed the maid of honor to turn around several rockeries and came to a remote place. Only next to the lake water of the rockery, there was a dead woman lying there. It was windy and originally felt cool. At this time, because of the dead woman, the whole place felt cloudy and windy, and people felt afraid for no reason.

Several brave eunuchs went over and pulled up the female corpse and laid it flat on the ground. However, after hearing the maid in waiting who had just found the corpse clutching the tip of her mouth, she suddenly threw herself on the female corpse and shouted in a panic, "empress, it's a flying ring."

"Flying ring?" The queen was stunned. She didn't seem to remember and frowned.

Mother Lin, who was beside her, took two steps forward and looked at the woman's face. She trembled with fear. She hurriedly stepped back to the queen and said with a white face: "madam, she is the third-class maid in the Tianfeng palace. She is called Feihuan. Just now you asked her to serve the wine and water of ladies and ladies in the imperial garden."

The queen was stunned. She seemed to have never thought it was the person from her own Tianfeng palace. Her face was a little ugly. She frowned and asked, "who was the last one to see this maid?"

Whether as the queen or the owner of Tianfeng palace, the queen has to ask about it.

"Empress, maidservant, maidservant just came out with Feihuan. Later, maidservant saw a little maid waving to Feihuan in front. Then Feihuan said something to maidservant and let maidservant go first. Maidservant thought that Feihuan might meet someone she knew, so she didn't care about her and left by herself. I didn't expect it to be a while. Feihuan, she, she..."

The maid in waiting who threw herself on the flying ring burst into tears: "empress, you must decide for the flying ring. The flying ring is dedicated to you. You can't let the murderer go unpunished."

"Go up and have a look." The queen nodded to a eunuch standing next to her. She was an expert in guarding the queen in the inner palace and a eunuch in charge of the questions in the inner palace. He stretched out two fingers to explore the palace maid's neck. Then he stood up and shook his head, indicating that he was out of breath. Then he squatted next to the body, checked it for a while, and then came to report back to the queen.

"Empress, the body was strangled. There were pinch marks on her neck and thick fingers. It was obvious that she was a man. It looked like she was quick and accurate. She was a practicing family. If she didn't have skills for more than ten years, she would never have been strangled to death."

The sentence asked the eunuch and replied concisely.

"However, who wants to harm the flying ring? The flying ring is also very good to people on weekdays. It never blushes with people." Cried the maid in waiting.

"There's something there. Look." Suddenly someone pointed to the place where the body had just been picked up and screamed.

They all looked back and saw that there was a piece of cloth stuck in the gap of the rockery. Xing asked the eunuch to come over and took out the cloth wrapped in it neatly. Only then did they find that it was a handkerchief. Because most of it was wrapped in it, it was only a piece of cloth that fell from the murderer's hand.

"This should be the handkerchief that fell from the murderer!" Someone is asking.

"No, it's such a pink and tender color with embroidery on it. It should be a young lady's. look at the pinch marks on her neck. It's clear that it's a man. How can it be the murderer's." Another person asked puzzled.

On the spot, someone refuted Xie and argued: "maybe this is the handkerchief hidden in the arms of the murderer. There must be a woman who has something to do with the murderer. This handkerchief will appear in his arms and then be pulled down by the palace maid before she dies. The reason why it was not taken away may be that time is short and she didn't notice."

"Madam, this... This has happened, but you must check it." The jade imperial concubine standing on one side smelled the speech and showed deep concern in her eyes, covering her stomach and saying that she was quite afraid.

The queen looked at the body coldly, and the tone spitting out from her thin lips was cold and fierce: "if you kill someone in the palace, of course, you must find out."

As soon as you listen to it, everyone has moved a little more. This is the imperial palace. If there is a human life case, it is naturally possible to come today. If you can't find out, do you have to stay here for search? It will take a lot of time. Moreover, it's bad. It's easy to be framed after a long time.

Who wants to be locked up and searched.

"Let me have a look at this veil." An old lady first stood up and asked the eunuch that she was the mother of Luo Fenghou.

Xing asked the eunuch to look at the queen. The queen nodded slightly. The eunuch respectfully presented the veil to the old lady of Luofeng Hou.

The old lady of Luofeng Hou picked up her handkerchief and looked at it in the light. For a moment, she frowned and looked at the people around her. Her face showed some doubt, but she couldn't make up her mind.

After half a ring, Ling Ruier turned to one side and asked, "Princess Chu, can I borrow your handkerchief?"

"My handkerchief?" Ling Ruier actually panicked when she saw this handkerchief. She stretched out her hand to touch her handkerchief and compared it. She found that her handkerchief didn't know when it was gone. She was pale in panic for a moment. She didn't come back long ago. She wanted to see the excitement. Where did she think things would fall on her.

When Mrs. Luo Fenghou asked about Ling Ruier, several sharp eyed people immediately found that the left and right corners of the handkerchief in Mrs. Luo Fenghou's hand were embroidered with two words, Ling on the left and Rui on the right. Together, it was clearly Ling Ruier. Why didn't everyone be surprised.

The handkerchief belongs to Ling Ruier.

"Rui'er, where's your handkerchief?" The queen turned her head and flashed a trace of anger at the bottom of her eyes. She looked at Ling Ruier and asked unhappily. If something went wrong today, it was all caused by Ling Ruier, a fool. How can she not be angry.

"Empress, just now this maid in waiting sprinkled watermelon juice on my dress, so I went to change my clothes, and then the veil disappeared." Ling rui'er hurried. She didn't know when her handkerchief was missing, but now it's true that her handkerchief is in the hands of the maid in waiting.

"Yes, just now the maid in waiting deliberately spilled watermelon juice on the third sister. It turned out that she was trying to steal her handkerchief. I don't know who wanted her to hurt the third sister." Ling Yu, who followed her, had an idea and hurriedly defended her. If people really found out that Ling Ruier had the maid killed because of such a small thing, Ling's daughter wouldn't have to marry again. Who dares to marry their girl in such a vicious family.

For her reputation, Ling Yu can't let Ling Ruier have an accident.

The words reminded the public that it was just now that they remembered that the maid really deliberately framed Ling Ruier. Otherwise, she stood well just now. How could she hit Ling Ruier and wet her clothes and had to change her clothes? It was enough for people to kill the maid in waiting, If you really took Ling Ruier's handkerchief first, someone might have framed Ling Ruier.

Or frame the king of Chu behind her.

Zhao imperial concubine hu'er came up and asked with a slight doubt, "what fragrance is used in Princess Chu's veil?"

Indeed, the handkerchief is emitting a faint strange fragrance. Although it has been soaked in the water, it still has a faint fragrance. It can be seen that it is the best fragrance.

This reminded Ling Ruier. She hurriedly said, "the incense I used there is not an ordinary incense. It was rewarded by the Empress Dowager. It is said to be a tribute. I have it in the whole Qin Dynasty. There can be no other people."

Ling Ruier just wants to prove that she is innocent this time. Where else can she manage.

"Princess Chu said that ten mile incense can be paid as tribute to the Empress Dowager?" As soon as the eunuch's eyes lit up, Xing asked, "if it's really this kind, the fragrance will last for a long time. It's said to last for ten days, right?"

Ling rui'er's eyes flashed a trace of something different. She nodded her head and said, "yes, yes."

"Princess Chu, do you think this fragrance will stay when it comes into contact with other clothes?" The eunuch asked again.

"This smell is very strong. As long as you touch it with your hands, it won't dissipate for a while and a half." Ling Ruier replied positively.

"That would be great." Xing asked the eunuch to squat down again in front of the body, turned over the skirt of the maid flying ring, smelled it with his nose, and raised his eyebrow after half a sound: "queen, this maid once hid a handkerchief in her arms. It seems that she stole the handkerchief of Princess Chu and hid it, but then she was assassinated, and this handkerchief was deliberately left here."

"Bitch, you really want to harm me." Ling Ruier was relieved for a moment and scolded at the maid flying ring.

"Now that the man has turned over his handkerchief, should he also have fragrance on his body?" The queen asked coldly.

The eunuch smiled and nodded: "what my mother said is very true. Since the handkerchief was deliberately dropped there, the man has naturally moved. Please take the punishment dog with my mother."

"Go and preach the will of the palace and ask the bodyguard to bring the punishment dog." The queen nodded, and her eyes slid across the face of Mo Xuetong with a faint sneer. The punishment dog is specially used by the Ministry of punishment to investigate cases. Its nose is hundreds of times more sensitive than that of ordinary dogs. No matter who plans to do something today, it can't be good.

The Zhao imperial concubine standing on one side, although drooping her eyes, glanced over her eyes with a deep complacency. Her face unconsciously showed a somewhat sinister smile. Although things were different from her preset, it was good that she passed in her original direction.

After a while, a small punishment dog was brought to the public. Several internal bodyguards stood on both sides and arranged the people to stand in two rows. The punishment asked the eunuch to take the mask to the dog's nose and sniff it. Then he took off the mask and asked her to sniff it one by one. After sniffing two, the punishment dog jumped up. If the eunuch didn't react quickly and catch it, Ling Ruier would be knocked down.

Even so, she was almost speechless.

She was originally the master of the handkerchief. She took the handkerchief for some time. Of course, the smell on her body was very strong. The eunuch forced the criminal dog back and continued to walk back. Behind Ling Ruier was mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong stood there quietly holding Mo Ye's hand. The criminal dog went up for two circles and then went down again.

Obviously, it has nothing to do with Mo Xuetong.

The empress standing in the throne frowned slightly and looked suspiciously at Mo Xuetong.

The punishment dog walked at the feet of the people and sniffed from time to time. The people were nervous and afraid. In particular, most of them were young ladies. They were trembling with fear. Suddenly, the punishment dog shouted wildly and rushed towards a maid standing behind a young lady. A big mouth full of sharp teeth bit a maid's calf, Dragged the maid out.

The big Nei waiting guards on both sides, who had been ready to go for a long time, rushed up like a wolf and caught the man. They searched all the items in their pockets and put them in front of the people.
