Chapter 417 The Grand Finale (10)
The emperor said in a sinking voice: "Call in that girl who is yelling outside!"

Eunuch Yao hurriedly bowed his body and backed out, and after a while, he led a woman in from the outside. The woman was wearing a lake blue plain dress, the hairpin ring on her head was askew, her face was pale, she was Aunt Tang.

Eunuch Yao said in a sharp voice, "Hurry up and greet the emperor!"

Aunt Tang hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty sees the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "What were you talking about just now? What killed someone? Who died?"

When Aunt Tang heard the emperor's question, her eye circles immediately turned red, she turned around in a panic, lay down on Gu Qingmei's body, and cried bitterly: "Princess, please, servant girl, please show kindness, don't let me go!" Kill the servant, the servant will not argue with you for anything, the servant will not want anything, please spare the servant..."

Seeing her coming in, Gu Qingmei cried and complained nonchalantly. She couldn't help turning livid with anger, and said, "Aunt Tang, what happened? Can you explain it clearly? When am I going to kill you?" ?”

Aunt Tang didn't answer her words, she changed direction again, climbed a few steps towards the emperor, and cried loudly: "Your majesty, I beg you to do justice to this servant, I know that I am humble and not worthy of the prince, this servant I never thought of fighting for favor with the princess, but the princess wanted to kill the servant girl. Today the servant girl was eating, and Aunt Luo went to see the servant girl, and the servant girl gave the ginseng soup she drank to Aunt Luo. Unexpectedly, Aunt Luo drank it. He died. Your majesty, please save your slaves..."

"Bitch, shut up!" Murong Yu couldn't take it anymore, and suddenly let out a cold shout.

Aunt Tang choked on her crying, she twitched her floor, and secretly looked at Murong Yu's livid face with tearful eyes.

Concubine Chun immediately shouted in a cold voice: "You just shut up! Your Majesty is here, how can you speak?"

Murong Yu had no choice but to close his mouth indignantly, and turned his fists to the emperor and bowed, "Your Majesty, this bitch is crazy, let me take her down!"

Gu Qingmei also got up and said: "Your Majesty, I ask Rong Chen's wife to leave, and my wife to go and see, what happened?"

The emperor waved his hand, "Since I have caught up with the murder case, why not see it for myself? Concubine Chun, if you are afraid, just wait for me here for a while, and I will come whenever I go."

Concubine Chun looked at the emperor firmly, with tenderness in her beautiful eyes, "with the emperor by my side, my concubine is not afraid of anything."

The emperor smiled with satisfaction, held Concubine Chun's hand and stood up, "Let's go, take me to have a look."

"Please come with the emperor's wives!" Gu Qingmei bowed slightly, showing both respect and courtesy.

Aunt Tang struggled to get up from the ground, trembling, followed behind everyone, and walked towards the back house.

The group soon came to Aunt Tang's yard. Because there were many houses in the house, each of the aunts got a small yard, and Aunt Tang was no exception. The yard she lived in was called Fangyiyuan, a small courtyard house. , three main rooms, with three wing rooms on each side.

Led by Gu Qingmei, everyone walked into the main hall. On the floor of the main hall lay a woman in an apricot-colored dress, curled up, with her face turned inward and her back to the door.

The emperor gave Eunuch Yao a wink, and Eunuch Yao hurried over to straighten the corpse, and saw Aunt Luo's expression was ferocious, her lips were black, blood was flowing from her seven orifices, and a hairpin of peach blossoms carved from white jade fell on the ground. Aside, broken into several pieces.

Eunuch Yao knelt down, inspected the corpse carefully, got up and said, "My Majesty, this woman was indeed poisoned to death."

As he spoke, he glanced sharply at an empty bowl on the table. There was ginseng soup in the bowl, but it had already been drunk, but luckily there was still a little bit left in the bowl.

He pulled out the silver hairpin from his head, and gently dipped it into the residual soup. The head of the hairpin quickly turned black. He picked up the bowl again and smelled the smell inside, and then said: "Your Majesty, it's arsenic." !"

Aunt Tang knelt down in front of the emperor pitifully, crying and said: "Your Majesty, this bowl of ginseng soup was originally for slaves to drink. Aunt Luo died for slaves, and I beg the emperor to give justice to slaves and find out who killed her." people!"

At this time, Gu Qingmei was trembling with anger. She used her knees to think that this matter must have been done by Aunt Tang, but she couldn't say anything in front of the emperor.

Because once she accused Aunt Tang, she would give the emperor the impression of being a jealous woman.

But the emperor said faintly: "Princess Zhenguo, don't you want to say something?"

Gu Qingmei restrained her voice and said: "With the emperor here, my wife believes that she will definitely be able to find out what happened, and give this girl justice!"

The emperor laughed suddenly, "Then call the people from the capital to investigate the case. Even though she is an aunt, she still has her life, and she cannot die for no reason."

"Yes!" Gu Qingmei responded, then turned around and told Chun's mother to send someone to the Yamen of the capital to report the case, and then said to the emperor. "Your Majesty, forgive me for being rude, because I don't know who is poisoning, so I want to borrow the emperor's guards to look at the people in this mansion, so as to prevent them from obliterating the evidence."

"Alright!" The emperor nodded solemnly, and winked at Yao Mo, who hurried to arrange staff.

The emperor took Concubine Chun carelessly to sit on the chair in the flower hall, as if planning to sit and wait for the Governor of Kyoto.

When Gu Qingmei saw that he had no intention of leaving, she stood aside with a smile.

Murong Yu had a gloomy face, staring and lowering his head, standing there, the lovely and pitiful Aunt Tang, instinctively felt that Aunt Luo's death had something to do with her.

But Aunt Tang just lowered her head and sobbed softly, looking extremely aggrieved.

About half an hour later, the governor of Kyoto arrived with officers and soldiers. After seeing the emperor, he started the autopsy.

"My Majesty, this woman died of arsenic poisoning indeed, and the arsenic is in this bowl of ginseng soup." Wu's test result was the same as that of Eunuch Yao.

The governor of Kyoto cupped his fists at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, although arsenic is a highly poisonous substance, it is also commonly used by ordinary people to poison rats. Every household has it. Therefore, it will be difficult to find the murderer from the arsenic! But , I still want to ask the emperor for permission to let the servants thoroughly investigate the palace, maybe they can find some clues."

The emperor raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingmei, with a half-smile on his lips, "Princess Zhenguo, what do you mean?"

Gu Qingmei narrowed her eyes and said: "Master Fu Yin has rich experience in handling cases, and my wife completely believes in his ability to handle cases, and also believes that he can find out the truth and give Aunt Luo justice."

For Gu Qingmei's words, Mr. Fu Yin was very satisfied, he couldn't help showing a complacent expression on his face, and then he waved his hand, "Search!"
