Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 29 You finally found out
The person who came was actually Princess Wan who Xiaoxiao thought would never appear again!

As soon as the princess arrived, the executioner's knife stopped abruptly and did not dare to move again.The beheading officer hastily left the table and said: "Princess, the time has come and we must be beheaded!"

"I have a few words to say to Miss Su, if there is any problem, this princess will bear it all!"

Before the supervisor could reply, Princess Wan ran to the execution platform, helped Xiao Xiao up, and said anxiously: "Sister Su, I am late! It was too late to search for someone in the warehouse last night, and I didn't find the guards. It happened that my mother came to visit early in the morning, and I didn't have a chance to run out until she left, which was delayed for some time!"

"How is it?" Seeing the beads of sweat on Princess Wan's forehead, Su Xiaoxiao knew that she had tried her best.

"This is the box you want." As Princess Wan handed over a small box of brown lacquered wood, "the warehouse guard said that Chen Tingqiu and Ling Chuyu were the only ones who came to the warehouse during the day before the Yuanri banquet, but the two I just took some decorative items from the warehouse, nothing unusual. But he didn’t keep watch at night, and was transferred for a while to carry the grain and grass that would go to western Sichuan in three days.”

Seeing that Xiaoxiao was examining the box carefully, Princess Wan continued: "But I searched carefully in the warehouse, and found this candle a little weird..." She took out another veil from her bosom, and unfolded it to reveal the candle. "The candle was half burned and fell by the door. The guard said that because there are a lot of flammable things in the storeroom, they usually carry a lamp when they go to the storehouse at night, and they don't go in directly with a candle, because it is easy to go out." "

"Let me take a look!" Xiaoxiao checked it in her hand, only to see that she stared at one place and thought for a while, then immediately turned around and said, "I beg the supervisor and beheader to report to His Majesty, there is a lot of grievance in this case, and Xiaoxiao wants to report it face to face." Affection!"

"This..." The supervisor hesitated seeing the change.The time has already passed, and should this request for a face-to-face petition be accepted or not?
"Who is it that wants to hurt the emperor? Does the emperor not want to know? If I die and this person is not caught, do you deserve the crime of beheading me?" Miss Su asked.

"I would like to trouble the supervisor and behead officer to tell my father, if my father ignores it...it won't be too late!" Princess Wan echoed.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the last moment she was determined to die, and now she would have the opportunity to fight for her life.At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao bowed in front of the emperor, but what she didn't expect was that standing on the side was the stern-faced prince Sima Yu, who today had black sleeves with black patterns and a black robe embroidered with gold silk and dragons. .What is he doing here?
"I heard you still have something to say?" The emperor sat on the dragon chair, lightly supported his forehead, raised his eyes and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao who was kneeling on the steps, his expression seemed a little tired, as if he was a little older than when we met before , "I'll give you a chance, if I waste my time, you will be buried with me from all over Liyuan!"

Su Xiaoxiao's face was flushed from trotting all the way, she took a deep breath, and said slowly: "First, present two proofs to the emperor." Then she handed the candle and the wooden box to the eunuch below the steps , trouble him to submit. "There is a piece of paper inside the wooden box, on which are written the raw materials and recipes for making props. This wooden box has always been stored in my house; this half candle was found by Princess Wan by the door of the warehouse where the props are stored. This is The two things have one thing in common, the hardness of the lacquered wooden box and the softness of the candle are very easy to leave fingerprints, and the same fingerprint can be clearly seen on the mouth of the box and the middle of the candle!"

"What... what?"

"Back to the emperor, fingerprints. It refers to the lines on a person's fingers. Everyone's lines are different and unique. This fingerprint proves that besides me, someone else has peeked at my formula and then stolen the raw materials in the warehouse. Increased the matching ratio of props." Su Xiaoxiao looked up and replied.

"Oh, but you can prove that this fingerprint is not yours, but someone else's? It is impossible to check and verify with the naked eye. You can say it is not yours, and I can also say it is yours. You are fooling me!" The emperor took the case and rose up.

"No, Your Majesty, if this fingerprint belonged to anyone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell it apart, but it is so special that it reminds me of its owner." Xiaoxiao was confident, and her eyes suddenly glowed, " Your Majesty, please see if the middle part of these two fingerprints is relatively blurred, and the lines are far less clear than the edges, but the finger pulp should be the focus of force. There is only one reason for this situation, that is, this person's finger prints have been worn away. Ping. My finger pulp fingerprints are very clear, and as far as I know, the only person who can have such fingerprints is... Ling Chuyu!"

The little novelist prostrated himself in the tunnel and said, "I beg the emperor Xuanling Chuyu to enter the palace for a test!"

"Xuanling Chuyu." The emperor focused on examining two pieces of physical evidence.

But after a while, the eunuch came forward and said, "Bring Ling Chuyu here." Chu Yu who was following behind was wearing a white jacket and skirt, her face was pale, she looked at the people in the hall, her expression was a little dazed, she first gave the emperor , the prince saluted, saw Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then walked up to hold her hand in surprise and said: "Sister Su, you are fine, that's great!"

"I'm fine, I'm afraid it's you who has something to do..." Xiao Xiao sneered.

"Sister, why did you say that?" Chu Yu's eyes widened, his face full of bewilderment.

"Did you come into my room and touch the box I assembled?" Seeing that Chu Yu was still pretending to be stupid, Xiaoxiao said bluntly.

Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and replied: "My sister was joking, I often go to my sister's house to play, and I have accidentally touched too many things. I really don't have any impression of what kind of box is assembled."

"That's really good!" Xiao Xiao sneered, "I hope what you said is true... What about the warehouse? What is it that you need to light a candle to search in quietly at night when there is no one around? of?"

"The warehouse...the warehouse I only went to in the afternoon, with Ting Qiu. Ting Qiu can testify!" Chu Yu's face flashed panic for no reason.

"He can prove that you have been there in the afternoon, but he can't prove whether you have been there in the evening. Let me prove it!" Xiaoxiao took the candle and pointed to a place in the middle and said, "This fingerprint is yours. ! It’s the evidence that you went to the warehouse secretly at night!”

"It's ridiculous, why do you say it's mine?" Chu Yu's eyes flashed with an aggressive cold light.

"Have you forgotten?" Xiao Xiao approached step by step, "It was you who told me that you didn't have a few good fingers when you were a needleworker since you were a child. If you don't believe me, show it to everyone!" said Xiao Xiao He grabbed Chu Yu's wrist and lifted her hand up, only to see that her fingertips were full of scars from repeated cuts of thick calluses, and there was no intact skin on the fingertips, let alone complete lines!
Ting Qiu and Princess Wan were stunned. They never thought that Chu Yu, who was always gentle and pretty, was the mastermind of this incident!Especially Ting Qiu, watching the two sisters love each other and help each other all the way. A few days ago, Xiao Xiao took the blame for Chu Yu and was punished. Chu Yu still hugged Xiao Xiao and cried. Who would have thought that she would become Frame Xiaoxiao's mastermind who took her life!Except for everyone who exclaimed, only Sima Yu frowned, seemed to be thinking about something, and remained silent.

At this time, Ling Chuyu was indisputable. Her lips trembled slightly, her eyelids drooped, and she raised her charming face after a long while. Her clear eyes were filled with tears. After a long time, you finally found out!"

"You are so stupid, I thought you would never doubt me in your life!" Ling Chuyu cried while laughing, her face was full of tears, she looked crazy.

"If I hadn't suddenly remembered that when I fell into the water because of the beehive, most of the palace people only knew that I fell into the water, and didn't know that the prince and I were chased by poisonous bees, but you would have known it as soon as I returned to the house. I just felt suspicious yesterday. If you hadn’t exposed such a loophole, I’m afraid I’d die without knowing how to die!” Su Xiaoxiao said angrily, “Why do you want me to die everywhere? Even if it’s about the hive, I know it’s you, I still doubt my own judgment for this crime of regicide, and I can’t believe that you will do this to this extent... until I saw this fingerprint... Do you know that I almost died?!"

"I just want you to die!" Ling Chuyu said fiercely, "You don't even know how much you hate me... As long as you live, I will never be able to make it! Everyone knows you, Su Xiaoxiao, but no one knows I, Ling Chuyu?!" This hysterical roar echoed in the empty hall, only to hear the eunuch angrily shout: "In front of the Holy One, how can you be so presumptuous!"

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to ask again, but the emperor interrupted her. "I'm a little tired, let's procrastinate..." The emperor's tone was full of tiredness, "The evidence is solid, I will ask you to kill me tomorrow." He got up and walked to the back of the palace, paused on the way and said: "Su Xiaoxiao , you not only sing well, you also have a good brain."

Two guards stepped forward to set up Chu Yu and dragged him to the door.Chu Yu's heart-piercing roar seemed to have lasted for a long time—everyone knew Su Xiaoxiao, but who knew me, Ling Chuyu?
