The moon quickly retreated two steps, and Xiao Shan tripped over the corpse of Senior Servant Jin and fell down.
Soon, the head of the imperial guards, Jiang Keji, hurried over with a guard and captured Xiao Shan. "I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill anyone. Call my father over!"
When Xiao Rou heard the news and rushed over, she staggered and almost fell to the ground — —
She widened her eyes as she looked at the scene on the ground in disbelief. After a moment of dizziness, she muttered, "Big Brother, this, what is going on?"
"Fourth sister, what's going on? How did it become like this!? "
The two siblings looked at each other in dismay.
"Dead, dead!" There are fewer people in the Xiao family now. "
Xu Xianfei and Wei Ru had been pacing around the hall, waiting for news from Grandma Jin. When they heard her voice, both of them suddenly raised their heads and asked, "Did you succeed?"
Wei Ru's face broke into a smile as he bowed in front of Xu Xianfei. "Congratulations for getting what you want, aunt. From now on, you don't have to worry about those unrelated people pestering Brother Ye anymore."
"Quick, let's go take a look. I want to see for myself." Xu Xianfei walked out quickly. Now that Lian Lu Yue had died, it would be much easier for them to eradicate the combos in the future.
"Esteemed Empress, Senior Servant Jin, and Senior Servant Jin …" Just as the two of them walked out of the Winter Palace, two young eunuchs hurriedly walked over.
"What happened to Senior Servant Jin?" Xu Xianfei frowned and said.
"Senior Servant Jin, she's dead!" The young eunuch panted for a long time before speaking.
"What?" Jin mama died? "Wh-what's going on? Did you get it wrong?" Xu Xianfei's mind buzzed as she replied.
"They're all saying that the young master of the Xiao family had killed Senior Servant Jin and was caught red-handed."
"What …" Xu Xianfei's face turned pale immediately. His voice trembled.
"What about Lian Meng Yue?" Wei Ruchao hurriedly asked.
"This servant just saw the County Lord Rong at the place where Senior Servant Jin was killed. Commander Jiang, Eldest Young Master Xiao, and Senior Servant Jin were even brought to the emperor to interrogate him along with other noble ladies." The eunuch said.
"What …" "The Emperor … the Emperor …" "Xu Xianfei's footsteps suddenly softened as Wei Ru hurriedly supported her.
"Aunt …" At this moment, Wei Ru's heart was filled with anxiety. How did he become the golden mama that was unharmed even though Lian Yue was still alive? How did that Xiao Rou do it?
At this moment, Eunuch Feng, who was standing by the emperor's side, walked over. "Esteemed imperial concubine, the emperor asks that you hurry to Hall of Rongyuan."
"I'll go right now." Xu Xianfei tried her best to maintain her composure as she straightened her back and said.
As she hurried towards the Hall of Rongyuan, Xu Xianfei thought, if this was related to her, how would she get out of this predicament?
Arriving at the Hall of Rongyuan, he saw that the people kneeling on the floor, all of them participating in Xu Xianfei's poetry party. As for Jin mama's corpse, it lay stiffly on the ground, a bloodstained dagger on its body.
She was shocked and quickly walked over with a pale face — —
"Senior Servant Jin, this …"
She immediately kneeled on the ground. "Your Majesty, what's going on? Why is Senior Servant Jin …"
"It was the Xiao Clan's Xiao Shan who killed the Empress's mama." Lian Xiyue looked at the expression of confusion and shock on Xu Xianfei's face and said.
"What …" Xu Xianfei's body trembled as she looked at Xiao Shan kneeling on the ground. His hand was covered in blood and was trembling.
Upon hearing Lian Ruyue say this, Xiao Shan immediately scolded, "Bitch, don't you dare slander us!"
"How dare you!" Zhou Chengdi slapped the table and said, "How dare you speak such vulgar words in front of me! Someone, slap your face!"
"Yes sir!" Feng De Gui followed the order and walked in front of Xiao Shan, saying, "Young Master Xiao, this servant follows the order and has offended you!" As he said this, he raised his hand and slapped Xiao Shan a few times, causing Xiao Shan's face to swell.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty …" "Sinner Xiao Zhenhai seeks an audience …"
At this moment, the voice of the Duke of Xiao sounded from outside the hall. The Emperor frowned and said, "Come in."
A moment later, Xiao Zhenhai hurriedly entered, accompanied by the Fourth Prince, Feng Qianyue.
After Xiao Zhenhai walked in, he fiercely glared at Xiao Shan, while Feng Qianyue's cold and indifferent gaze swept past Xiao Rou. Xiao Rou avoided his gaze as her face revealed a trace of a guilty conscience.
He raised his eyes, and his gaze intersected with Feng Qianyue's in the air. Feng Qianyue slightly narrowed his eyes, and Lian Ru Yue slowly moved her gaze away, leaving Feng Qianyue with a mocking smile.
Feng Qianyue, you have Lian Shiya and Xiao Rou by your side, your backyard will never have a peaceful day again, your backyard and the previous dynasty are closely related, but the previous dynasty will not be stable if you don't. Do you understand the 'painstaking effort' I've given you?
"Your majesty, I wonder what sort of trouble the unfilial son, Xiao Shan, has caused?" Xiao Zhenhai knelt on the ground.
Zhou Cheng Di looked at Xiao Zhen Hai coldly and said, "He killed someone."
"No, impossible." Xiao Zhenhai quickly prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Your majesty is enlightened that the unfilial son Xiao Shan has always been a coward. He definitely won't commit murder in the palace."
"Your majesty understands, I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't kill anyone." Xiao Shan hurriedly tried to defend himself.
"You didn't kill anyone?" Zhou Cheng Emperor frowned, "Tell me, who saw Xiao Shan kill Senior Servant Jin?"
"Your majesty, this subject's daughter can see it." "Today, after this subject lost and drank a few more cups of wine, the consort arranged for this subject's daughter to rest in the hall. When this subject came out of the hall, she saw that the third princess' rabbit had disappeared, and everyone was looking for it. This subject's daughter was also looking for it, but we saw that Xiao Shan was holding a dagger in his hand while Senior Servant Jin died in front of him …"
Upon hearing Lian Xiyue's words, Xu Xian Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. According to her, the death of Jin mama was caused by Xiao Shan and had nothing to do with her Dong Xi Palace.
As long as the crime of killing was pushed towards Xiao Shan, they would be fine.
Lian Ruyue, don't you dare slander me! "I didn't kill him. I just cut open the bag with this knife." Xiao Shan furiously stared at Lian Ru Yue as he said.
"County Lord Rong He, don't pin this killing cap on my son." Xiao Zhenhai looked coldly at Lian Ru Yue and warned her in a warning tone.
"Father, we all saw it. When Fifth Sister and I rushed over with the others, we indeed saw Xiao Shan holding a dagger in his hand and Senior Servant Jin lying at his feet." The Third Princess did not dare to hide anything from her father.
"That's right, royal father. Moreover, that Xiao Shan tried to escape twice. He did not succeed when there were more of us." The Fifth Princess also told him the truth.
"You, you two … I have the knife, but I didn't kill the person. "
