2023 Chapter 2023-not admitting
“Miss Lu, miss Jiang, you didn’t invite Miss Li to the teahouse today?” Constable Gao, who had been waiting to capture ah Wang, frowned and asked when he heard what Lu Yang and the others said.
This Constable Gao was different from the other constables in the Yamen. He had an aunt who was a concubine in the palace. She was second only to the noble consort, consort Xian. However, he had never relied on this status. Consort Xian was also more like a Buddha in the palace and did not fight for favor. She was the only one who had been conferred the title of consort without any children.
It was not to say that the Emperor liked consort Xian very much. Other than Empress Xue, the Emperor was interested in all the other concubines for the time being. Consort Xian was originally conferred the title because she was pregnant but was harmed by noble consort Lin. The full-term boy was gone just like that, and consort Xian could no longer give birth.
At that time, the Emperor had found out that it was noble consort Lin, but he did not punish her, but promoted consort Xian’s position.
After the fall of the Lin family, all the power of the harem returned to the Empress ‘hands. The Empress trusted consort Xian and also let consort Xian assist her in handling some matters of the harem.
Consort Xian had great power and no children. Naturally, she was very concerned about her nephew, who had grown up by her side. If Constable Gao had not asked his mother to enter the palace to express his unwillingness, consort Xian might have asked the Empress to help give her nephew a good future.
Constable Gao liked to work in the capital governor’s manor. Because of consort Xian’s status in the palace, most people would not treat him as an ordinary Constable, which made it more convenient for him to do things.
Lu Suan and Jiang Hong knew arrester Gao’s identity, so they answered his question, ” “No, we didn’t plan to meet at the teahouse.”
Li Yuyan pointed at the two of them and said,’you’re lying! When we parted yesterday, we agreed to meet at the teahouse this morning. Xiao Cui also said that you’ll be here soon. Jiang Hong, tell Xiao Cui to wait for me. ”
Constable Gao looked at li Yuyan. Miss Li, where did you two separate yesterday? do you have any witnesses to prove that you two had an appointment? ”
Li Yuyan immediately shut up.
Lu Yang’s lips curled up slightly. He didn’t dare to say it out loud.”Yu Yan, you can’t say that little cui is the witness, right? She was already dead, so how could she prove it? Yu Yan, I believe that you won’t kill anyone. I believe you, don’t drag me and my younger cousin into this, alright? Aren’t we friends?”
Jiang Hong had just asked li Yuyan why he wanted to kill Xiao Cui, and she finally understood. “Yu Yan, are you sick? We didn’t even meet yesterday. When did we make an appointment? Yu Yan, I also believe that you didn’t kill little emerald.”
Li Yuyan glared at the two of them. Were they so sure that she wouldn’t dare to tell them that they had met yesterday?
She really didn’t dare to say it. If she did and it was confirmed, it wouldn’t be a matter between the three of them anymore. Her family might be implicated.
“You’re miss Jiang, right? Why aren’t you worried at all about the death of your personal servant girl? instead, you seem to be worried about what Miss Li will say? Do the three of you have any secrets that you can’t tell others?” Gu Xin crossed her arms and looked at Jiang Hong and Lu Xin with a smile.
Lu Xin and Jiang Hong didn’t expect Gu Xin to ask such a question. They couldn’t control their expressions and their faces changed.
Constable Gao looked at Gu Xin in surprise. Princess Xinxin seemed to know a lot.
third miss Gu, our ran ran, ” Lu Yang wanted to explain but was interrupted by Gu Xin.
Miss Lu, I’m sorry, but I’m here as Princess Xinxin. Gu Xin’s expression changed and she became as expressionless as grandma Gu.
