The poisonous girl becomes a phoenix

Chapter 398 Is it justification or smearing?

It seems that before they came, the queen and the others had already conducted a preliminary investigation on this matter.

The blood-stained house, the female corpse lying in a pool of blood, and the unconscious virtuous king Qi Yan, and she and Qi Ye had already left early, all the evidence at the scene pointed to Qi Yan, I don't know what the Queen and the others think about this matter something?
Although her thoughts were turning, Su Xiyun was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Back to Your Highness, the minister did come back from the banquet and changed her clothes. At that time, the second lady of the Bai family wanted to accompany the minister, but she was allowed Mammy refused."

When Nanny Rong heard Su Xiyun's roll call, she quickly stood up: "Miss San is right, at that time the second miss of the Bai family insisted on going with her, but it was the old slave who stopped her."

Nanny Rong is the old nanny next to the empress, and what she said is quite authoritative, everyone heard the words, but they didn't say much.

"Later, Nanny Rong accompanied my courtiers back to Kunning Palace." Su Xiyun said: "When my courtiers went in to change clothes, Nanny Rong was called away. After changing clothes, my courtiers came out to meet her." No one went back to the banquet." She wouldn't foolishly tell what happened afterwards!
That's right, Su Xiyun made up her mind to push this matter on Qi Yan, the virtuous king.Anyway, she and Qi Ye had already left at that time, and Qi Yan was the only one left in the room.

Hearing this, the prince immediately frowned and said, "Did you meet anyone during this period? For example, His Royal Highness King Xian?"

"No." Su Xiyun flatly denied him.

The prince didn't know what to say.

The queen glanced at the prince leisurely, and said reproachfully: "Zhen'er, let the matter be understood, why are you embarrassing Xiyun?"

"I just don't believe that the seventh brother will kill the second miss Bai himself!" The prince said with wide-eyed anger: "The seventh brother has always been flirtatious, and this I admit, but if he wants to seduce the second miss Bai, what is wrong? Seduce, but insisted on running to Third Miss Su's room? Besides, the seventh brother has always been sympathetic, so how could he kill Second Miss Bai so cruelly?"

After hearing the prince's angry words, the queen glanced at the prince lightly, and said: "Don't you understand that, the reason why Qi Yan appeared here is because his purpose is actually Xiyun. It's a pity that Xiyun changed He took off his clothes and left, and the second Miss Bai lied and followed secretly, but he happened to run into her."

"But why did the seventh brother kill her?" The prince was still unconvinced after all: "The seventh brother is not so cruel! Besides, the second miss Bai was stabbed to death by a sword, and there was no sword in that room at all! The person who can make a sword is Third brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ye, who had been standing aside without saying a word, slowly stepped forward, untied the saber that had been hanging from his waist, and pulled it out with a sound of "Shua!".

"Third brother, what do you want to do in front of the queen mother?" The prince was startled by the gleaming sword, and said angrily.

Qi Ye said indifferently: "Brother, look carefully, the sword I usually wear has no edge at all, how can it kill people? What's more, when have you ever seen me use a sword?"

Indeed, Qi Ye had never demonstrated his sword skills in front of others.

The crown prince was taken aback, and he leaned over to take a closer look, and found that, as Qi Ye said, the sword was indeed unsharp.He said unconvinced: "But the third brother can't use a sword either?"

"To kill a defenseless woman, but also to be able to use swordsmanship? Basically, a man can do it." Qi Ye said coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.

When the prince heard this, he immediately became angry from embarrassment and said, "Unarmed? What happened to the wound on the back of the seventh brother's neck? Didn't Second Miss Bai stab it?"

Hearing this, Qi Ye paused and said, "When any woman is violated, she will probably resist. This is a woman's instinctive reaction."

"Hmph! The seventh brother is the prince! She, a daughter of the Xiaohou's mansion, stabbed the second brother, so he still hasn't woken up!" Not too much!"

As soon as the prince finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became very quiet.

Standing there, Su Xiyun almost burst out laughing. Is this prince trying to defend Qi Yan, or is he trying to smear him?

The queen glanced at the prince, but she still didn't want to make him lose his composure, so she continued, "Okay, there are so many evidences out there, so don't bother explaining for Qi Yan! Rape failed, but killed him instead, look Good job he did!"

The prince also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and finally closed his mouth embarrassingly, and never said anything again.

At this moment, a palace man's shrill voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "The emperor is here!——"

Everyone hurriedly kowtowed to pay their respects, and even the empress stood up, and when she saw the middle-aged man in bright yellow striding in at the door, she quickly bent down to pay her respects: "My concubine sees the emperor!"

"Queen, get up!" The emperor stepped forward, first stretched out his hands to help the queen up, then turned around and said to everyone in the hall, "Get up, everyone!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty (Father)!" Everyone stood up slowly.

The emperor sat down in the upper seat, and his big piercing eyes swept over everyone in the hall, then he turned to the queen and said, "I just came out of the imperial study and heard that something happened in Kunning Palace. Something big happened, so I came here to have a look, Empress, what is going on here?"

Hearing the emperor's question, the empress briefly described the bloody scene in the guest courtyard today in detail.

"Your Majesty, according to my concubine, Yan'er must have used a hairpin on the back of his neck when Yan'er used force on Second Miss Bai. Yan'er became furious, so he killed her with a sword!" Queen Said with an ugly face.

But after hearing this, the emperor asked, "Why did Yan Er go to Miss Su's house?"

The queen's expression flickered for a moment, but she explained: "Second Miss Bai sneaked over behind Xiyun." There were some things that she didn't want to say too clearly.Qi Yan was shameless, but Su Xiyun wanted more, and the queen didn't want to embarrass Su Xiyun in front of everyone.Some words, click to the end.

Sure enough, the emperor heard this, thought for a moment, suddenly his face changed drastically, and he cursed angrily: "This unfilial son dares to covet his brother's fiancée! It's not as good as a beast!" Because he was too angry, after the emperor scolded , actually coughed violently.

"Your Majesty!" The queen on the side quickly reached out and patted the emperor's back lightly. After a while, the emperor stopped coughing.

"Father, the seventh brother won't do this..." The crown prince was still giving a feeble explanation, but unfortunately, even he himself didn't believe it.

"Bang!", the emperor flicked his sleeves and brushed off the teacup on the table, angrily said: "Don't say good things for that evil animal! Otherwise, I will blame you as well!"

The prince immediately closed his mouth tightly.

"Come on! Get rid of the title of the Seventh Prince, and deduct his one-year salary. When he recovers from his injury, he will personally apologize to the Jing'an Hou Mansion!" The emperor ordered angrily.

This is the end of this matter. Although it was a murder case, the courtiers were not alarmed because the royal family did not want to expose the scandal.The party involved, Qi Yan, was convicted by the emperor without even a single refutation.

"The night is already deep, you all take your places!" After giving the order, the emperor began to push people away without any politeness.

Everyone stood up and left, but Qi Ye and Bai Ruifeng still stood there motionless.

"Your Majesty, I want to take my cousin's body home!" Bai Ruifeng said with a face as heavy as water.

Su Qianyun stood aside, looking at Bai Ruifeng who was immersed in sadness, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Su Xiyun recalled that she was held by Qi Yan at that time, and Bai Yinghong walked in from the door when she heard the order. She knew that the second lady of the Bai family might have hooked up with the virtuous king Qi Yan long ago.

For such a woman, she didn't feel that it was a pity that she died.

"Fine! Take it back!" The emperor said with a headache, "After you go back, tell your grandfather that I'm sorry!"

This sentence of sorry already contained the emperor's greatest guilt towards the Bai family after this incident.

Bai Ruifeng's face softened, and he slowly lowered his head and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, I obey the order!"

The emperor waved his hand and told them to retreat.

……

At the gate of the palace, the carriage of the Bai family was still parked here alone. The people who attended the banquet had already left, but the young master, wife, and two ladies of the Bai family had not come out for a long time. The carriage had been waiting for a long time. The coachman couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

I don't know how long time passed, the long silent palace gate finally opened again, and a group of people slowly came out from inside.

This must be his master coming out.The coachman was heartbroken, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage to meet him, but he took only one step when he saw a stretcher carried by two people, covered with a white sheet, and hurried towards his carriage.

The coachman was taken aback, and just about to reprimand him, he heard the figure of his young master flash out.

"Chang'an, help carry the second sister up!" Bai Ruifeng's voice was calm without any ripples, but Chang'an, the driver, was greatly surprised!
Two, two, second miss?corpse?Chang'an's mouth was wide enough to stuff three eggs.

Seeing that he was dumbstruck, Bai Ruifeng took care of himself, and together with the two little eunuchs who were carrying the stretcher, carefully placed Bai Yinghong's body on the carriage.

"Master, what, what's going on?" Chang An asked stammeringly.

Bai Ruifeng didn't even look at him, he just ordered: "Drive the carriage back first, don't talk too much!"

Chang'an's mouth was closed all of a sudden. At this moment, he saw his young wife and third lady walking out of the palace gate slowly, and he was relieved.The carriage carrying the white cherry red corpse disappeared into the night. .

"The carriage is ready." Qi Ye who was at the side said, "I'll talk about something tomorrow."

Bai Ruifeng nodded, and was about to take Su Qianyun and his sister away together, but at this moment, he heard a soft voice: "Wait a minute!"

Bai Ruifeng hurriedly turned his head, and saw his sister-in-law Su Xiyun slowly walking out of the palace.
