Chapter 344

Zhen'er looked at Liu Ruyan and walked up with one foot deep and one foot shallow. It seemed that it was wrong, but no matter how she asked, Liu Ruyan's answer was unimpeded. When zhen'er asked more, Liu Ruyan would become very impatient. She was not only angry with zhen'er, but even nearly started with zhen'er once.

This is what Liu Ruyan never had in his impression. In the past, even if the servants in Zichen palace did something wrong, Liu Ruyan never blushed at anyone, even to those low-level girls, not to mention zhen'er, who has always been with her.

Zhen'er thought left and right. They all felt that it was wrong. She couldn't decide, so she went to the imperial study.

Outside the imperial study, father-in-law Xu is guarding outside, with a sad face. He doesn't dare to make a sound when listening to the movement in the imperial study.

"Oh, how did miss zhen'er come here at this time..." father-in-law Xu saw zhen'er, looked left and right, but didn't see Liu Ruyan. He couldn't help wondering: "why is miss zhen'er alone?"

Saying this, father-in-law Xu paused. Seeing zhen'er's red and swollen eyes and trembling lips, he was startled and said, "what's the matter?"

"It's the empress..." zhen'er shook her head and said to Duke Xu fairly: "the empress's behavior is really strange recently. I feel that it's wrong. There's really no way to come to see your majesty. Please tell your father-in-law for me. At present, only your majesty knows what to do..."

"This..." father-in-law Xu was embarrassed. Then there was a sound of broken porcelain in the imperial study, with the voice of lianchengming's anger.

Father Xu sighed helplessly and said to zhen'er, "miss zhen'er, it's not that I don't help you, but now all the ministers are discussing with your Majesty in the imperial study about the frequent death of palace maids recently.

I'm afraid this matter has a wide range of implications, and your majesty is worried. And your ministers really can't come up with any good way. Listen, your majesty is losing his temper at this time. It's not appropriate for you to go in now! "

"But... But she..." zhen'er was also startled by the voice of Lian Chengming in the imperial study, so she stepped back a few steps, tears in her eyes and sudden despair in her heart.

"Miss zhen'er might as well go back first. It's not too late for your majesty to come back after some time. It's better to talk to your majesty at that time." father Xu suggested that you don't want zhen'er to hit the fire gate of lianchengming now.

"Thank you, father-in-law. The slave maid will come back later." I remembered that Liu Ruyan was punished by Lian Chengming to kneel in the Buddhist hall not long ago, and Lian Chengming had never been to Zichen palace since then. I think he was angry with Liu Ruyan.

Even if zhen'er goes in at this time, she's afraid that even Chengming won't give her a good face, so she won't care about Liu Ruyan, and maybe it will have a reaction.

Thinking of this, Jane wiped the tears on her face and turned away.

Back to Zichen palace, Liu Ruyan expected that she was still alone in the room. The servant girl went in and sent meals, and Liu Ruyan blew her out. No one could get close to her.

Jane had no choice but to go back to her room.

In the middle of the night, the full moon was just right, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground. A crow stood on the huge locust tree in the yard of Zichen palace, reflecting the bright moon behind, as if standing in the middle of the moon.

Immediately, the door of Liu Ruyan's house made a sound. The crow was frightened, gave a shrill cry, and flew away with its wings.

Then the moonlight shone on the soles of Liu Ruyan's feet, reflecting the cold luster of the dagger in Liu Ruyan's hand, shining brightly in the moonlight.

Liu Ruyan's eyes were dull and his actions were stiff. He walked out of the door as if he were sleepwalking. His hand holding the dagger was tight, his knuckles were white, and a green vein on his forehead was bulging and hidden under his hair.

Zhen'er was awakened in her sleep. With a sad scream, zhen'er got up from her bed. She didn't know what had happened, but then she thought of the recent murder of a palace maid. She looked at the dark room and was afraid.

But soon, I saw a light of fire outside, followed by a confused sound of footsteps, as if someone was whispering and talking.

Zhen'er was surprised. Isn't it that the victim tonight is from Zichen palace?

Thinking of Liu Ruyan, zhen'er quickly got up, put on her outer shirt and ran out in a hurry.

When she went out, she saw many people gathered at the gate of Liu Ruyan's yard. Zhen'er struggled to squeeze in. She saw Liu Ruyan sitting in front of a palace maid with a dagger in her hand. The palace maid had a pool of blood under her body and a frightened expression on her face. She opened her eyes and died in peace.

Zhen'er suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning, and there was a voice of Honglan behind her: "get out of the way, Princess Li is here."

Then a group of girls turned aside and let Lin Jinxiu go in, followed by a group of bodyguards.

Zhen'er was shocked. She saw that the dagger in Liu Ruyan's hand was still dripping with blood, and Liu Ruyan sat on the ground, staring at the palace maid on the ground, motionless, as if she didn't even breathe.

"It turned out that the murderer in the palace was empress Hui..."

"Yes, no wonder when Princess Li asked, Princess Hui didn't say a word. It turned out that she was covering for herself."

"But what's the matter with the virginity of these palace maids... Empress Hui will never do anything to the palace maids."

"Who knows, it's always stolen goods. Now Princess Hui can't run away."

"What nonsense!" zhen'er shouted fiercely, interrupted the discussion of several servant girls around her, looked fiercely, and asked several servant girls to shut up.

In the imperial study, father-in-law Xu hurriedly called Lian Chengming up and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Hui of Zichen palace has an accident."

When Lian Chengming was surprised, he immediately put on his outer shirt and hurried to Zichen palace.

Lin Jinxiu didn't do it all the time, but waited for Lian Chengming to come. After seeing the dagger in Liu Ruyan's hand and the body of the palace maid on the ground, she reported back to Lian Chengming what happened in the evening, which means that the evidence is conclusive now and she is going to arrest people.

"Come on, take off the concubines' clothes from empress Hui, tie them up and put them into the dungeon." after finishing everything, Lin Jinxiu ordered the bodyguard behind her to tie Liu Ruyan up. It was obvious that she was ready.

But Lian Chengming raised his hand to stop her: "wait a minute, there's something strange about it. It's not too late to make a decision after asking."

"But your majesty!" when Lin Jinxiu saw that Lian Chengming had to speak for Liu Ruyan at this time, she couldn't help worrying.
