C60 Who was the murderer?

CHAPTER 60 - WHO IS THE KILLER?

The Emperor caressed his dragon robe and disapprovingly said, "They are similar in age, so naturally, they are more popular than others. But if the Yuwangfei is someone who we have just met and wants to kill without regard for the law, we believe that she would not do so. The Feng Family was very strict with her military discipline, and as a Young Marshal, she was even more strict with herself. How could she possibly break the law for such a small matter like a concubine being grounded? "

The Empress did not expect that when it came to the death of the imperial physician, Li Yu, who was in charge of the Emperor's health, she would look like she did not care at all.

"Your Majesty, if there is no evidence, who would dare frame Yuwangfei? The witnesses were Li Yu's palanquin man and Jing Zhaoyin. They had personally witnessed the Yuwangfei holding onto a deadly weapon, blocking the palanquin and killing people. The Royal Family had violated the law and committed the same crime as the people. If Feng Ningyan wanted to kill someone, the Son of Heaven must give a heavy sentence, otherwise it would be hard to cover it up. "Your majesty …"

As the emperor Shen Chenxuan listened to the Empress's emotional and logical heartfelt words, and thought back to the situation Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan were in, he finally understood ninety percent of what had happened.

He yawned and took the tea from Wu Nianen. After taking a few sips, he put down the cup and stroked his beard.

The empress watched how calm the emperor was, but she could not figure it out.

How could the Emperor react to such a huge matter?

She had a feeling that something was wrong. Something was definitely suspicious. Was the Emperor thinking?

Even Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan did not understand the emperor's intentions. He planned to hang the empress like this and not make a decision?

At this time, Wu Nianen whispered into the emperor's ear, "Your majesty, the marble temple has arrived. They are waiting to see Zhuang Duxing."

"marble temple's Shaoqing?" Feng Ningyan said softly, "Could it be that there is already a result?"

Shen Lingjue was also suspicious, she had not heard the Emperor call for the marble temple's Shaoqing, why was Zhuang Duxing here so fast? I wonder how the case is going.

The emperor calmly instructed the empress, "The young master of the marble temple has a serious case to report. The empress will rest for a moment at the West Branch Hall. We will make our decision later on regarding the matter you have discussed."

The empress could only withdraw and walk into the western side hall.

At that moment, the emperor was in the palace, Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue were in the east wing and the empress in the west wing.

The marble temple's Little Qing, Zhuang Duxing, walked in with his hands behind his back and knelt down to kowtow. He called out "Long live" and handed over a case file.

Shen Chenxuan looked at the thick and heavy case file, and could not be bothered to flip through: "Last night, Li Yu was killed, what is the picture? Just tell me. "

Zhuang Duxing got up and reported: "This subject obeys the decree. marble temple had already gotten a preliminary result in the case of Imperial Physician Li Yu's death. Because it is related to the case of fake pregnancy in the Consort Shu s, the first thing I did was to send a copy of the results to the internal supervision s. "

The emperor glanced at the western side hall where the Empress was and asked, "I heard that the Yuwangfei killed Li Yu?"

Zhuang Duxing hurriedly replied, "Reporting to your majesty, after a detailed examination of the corona's corpse, it was discovered that Li Yu's death was caused by a concealed weapon. The concealed weapon was made of dark gold, less than an inch long. It was shaped like a jujube, and its surface was smooth. It shot Li Yu in the head, and deflected the lotus-shaped sharp blade that had a poison sac inside, sealing the throat of the person who falls inside, instantly killing them. "

Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan looked at each other. Although they had already expected this, the results of the corona autopsy confirmed their guesses.

The Emperor had never heard of such a concealed weapon and his heart tightened. He hurriedly asked, "Who is the murderer? Have you found out?"

Zhuang Duxing answered in a methodical manner, "The culprit was not captured yet. At that time, two of the sedan bearers reported to Jing Zhaoyin, that a masked man, in other words, a Yuwangfei, had suddenly appeared and pointed his sword at Li Yu. As such, Qin Huainan and the sedan bearer preempted and mistook Princess Huo Wu as the culprit."

Hearing Zhuang Duxing's words, Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan finally relaxed their tensed mental state for an entire night.

"Mistaken as a murderer?" The emperor couldn't help but reread the letter again. "In other words, the princess has cleared the suspicion?"

"That's right. Because at that time, the concealed weapon had shot from the right rear side of Princess Hua-Yang, and entered Li Yu's body from the front and left side through the hard skull. The wound was three inches deep, showing how powerful the weapon was. This is enough to show that Yuwangfei is definitely not a murderer. "

The emperor trembled in fear when he heard this.

Zhuang Duxing then reported that the marble temple had teamed up with Jing Zhaoyin's troops to search for the culprit, but the Emperor was no longer in the mood to listen.

After left, the emperor called out to the empress.

The empress had already heard everything that had happened before. Although she was extremely confident when she arrived that she could persuade the emperor to punish the 'murderer' Feng Ningyan, she had never thought that the corona would be able to deduce the murderer's location, the direction she would shoot from a small hidden weapon, and even roughly deduce the weapon's direction.

The Queen knew that she could not hold on to this matter any longer, or else she would arouse the emperor's suspicions. She had the intention of targeting Feng Ningyan.

"Empress, marble temple has taken over this case. He will definitely find the real culprit. The emperor waved his hand tiredly, telling the empress to withdraw.

The empress smiled, "Yes, chenqie is really too nervous. Since the matter has already been investigated and has nothing to do with Yuwangfei, chenqie will be at ease." As he spoke, he took his leave.

At this time, Wu Nianen opened the door to the Eastern Courtyard and the emperor walked in.

"The two of you should be hungry and tired even if you kneel at night. Why don't you accompany me in using the brunch?"

The emperor's face was pale, waving at Shen Lingjue and his sister, gesturing for them to sit together with her.

Feng Ningyan felt that ever since Zhuang Duxing revealed the power of the concealed weapon, the Emperor's emotions had become nervous and dejected. She could not help but ask, "Royal father, there has been progress in the case, why are you not happy about it?"

The emperor looked at Shen Lingjue and asked: "Jue'er, do you know what I am worried about?"

Shen Lingjue said solemnly: "A nation's longevity and peace comes from the prosperity of its people, and peace and stability. If the people's force was strong, then how could the people live and work in peace? Furthermore, this strange and unheard-of weapon could only be used from afar, making it impossible to guard against. If it was used by someone who had plotted against it, it would endanger the land within the world. Perhaps what royal father is worried about is this? "

The Emperor laughed out loud and said to Feng Ningyan, "Everyone says that I prefer this son of the King Yu because of the Royal Consort Min, but that is not the case. His thoughts are meticulous and sharp, and he knows very well that there are many dragons and phoenixes, none of them are as sensible as him.

Feng Ningyan looked at the emperor in shock. She didn't think that the emperor who was strict with her, would be like a father when conversing with Shen Lingjue in private, praising his son endlessly.

Being biased was not something people should do, it was no wonder the Empress and the crown prince had always thought of Shen Lingjue as a thorn in their side in order to prevent him from being suppressed.

It was a pity that the Great Yue State's current crown prince was his first son. If not for him, Shen Lingjue and the First Prince Shen Di, it was not certain who would be able to become the crown prince.

She turned her head to look at Shen Lingjue and couldn't help but secretly admire him.
