Li Qingyi looked at her and said regretfully: "In the past six months, you finally heard the news that Mr. Yu is gradually getting better. So, you went to ask the noble nobleman for permission to leave the palace at the age of twenty-five?"
It was like being stabbed by ten thousand steel needles at the same time and the pain was unbearable. Yushu's voice trembled: "Yes, I want to leave the palace... Even if Mr. Yu has married a wife and has children by then, I will follow him for the rest of my life. After all, I am his savior, and even Mrs. Yu will not stop me from staying with him... However, Mr. Yu, who finally recovered from his illness, unexpectedly worsened again, and his condition is worse than before..." new
Everyone sighed for Yu Shu's infatuation, and Mrs. Yu couldn't help but shed tears. She quickly covered her eyes with a handkerchief and cried silently.
Li Qingyi heard Yu Shu bite the word "unexpectedly" tightly, sighed, and asked: "You suspect that Mr. Liang has attacked the young master again, right?"
Yushu gritted his teeth and said, "If it's not her, who else could it be? She has already harmed Mr. Yu once, so naturally she can't feel at ease knowing that he is well! So, I secretly planned for a long time and finally managed to kill her to Mr. Yu smoothly. Young Master's revenge! If it weren't for you... maybe no one would know that I did all this! One day, I will leave the palace, and even if he is as stupid as a child, I will always be with him..."
Li Qingyi shook his head slowly and spoke softly: "If I tell you that Mr. Yu's death was not caused by a noble man, will you regret everything you have done?"
Yushu suddenly raised his head: "No, this is impossible..."
The beam of light coming through the window lattice became more messy and broken, and Jade Comb's expression was complicated and unbelievable.
Her carefully arranged killing was exposed, but she had no family or friends, so she didn't have too much fear.
However, with just one word from Li Qingyi, all the reasonableness and fearlessness in her heart vanished into thin air.
Li Qingyi looked calm and said: "What I said is true. Mr. Yu was indeed harmed again, but he was not a good man."
"Nonsense..." Yu Shuyuan opened her eyes and shook her head desperately, as if she just heard a joke, tears fell from her eyes and broke into pieces. "If it wasn't her, who else could it be?!"
Everyone in the hall was also confused. Princess Deqing and the emperor looked at each other and looked at Li Qingyi with the same confusion.
Li Qingyi said: "Liang Gui did have murderous intentions for the young master, but it was only once. She has successfully entered the palace and is pregnant with Long Zi. If she does anything to kill him again, it will be like adding insult to injury. Trouble is more likely to attract others' attention. On the contrary, it is a good thing for her that Mr. Yu has recovered from his illness. Because in this way, her plot to harm him is almost as if it has been written off and treated as if it never happened. Anyway, the Yu family There is absolutely no evidence to prove that she harmed the young master."
Everyone was thoughtful, but Yushu didn't believe that he had killed the wrong person, and argued forcefully: "A good nobleman may not be able to see it so clearly as Miss Li, and a thief will inevitably feel guilty!"
Li Qingyi sighed lightly and did not answer her words. Instead, he turned his gaze to the person kneeling next to the jade comb and asked, "Linglong, what do you think?"
Linglong was startled when her name was suddenly called. She raised a pair of innocent and frightened eyes, full of fear: "Miss Li, why are you asking me, I don't know..."
"Do you really know nothing?"
Li Qingyi stared at her, but did not wait for her to answer. Instead, he turned around and asked the guard to bring someone with him.
Everyone was surprised. The emperor seemed not to have expected that there were other secrets involved, and asked, "Who is this?"
The man who was escorted in front of everyone was only in his early twenties. He was dressed in a short shirt worn by ordinary people. He had a decent face, but there was a sinister look between his eyebrows. At first glance, he seemed to often hang out in the market, stealing women and cheating. people.
Linglong was shocked when she saw him, and shouted with a trembling voice: "Brother...brother?"
The word "brother" revealed the man's identity.
But unexpectedly, when the man saw Linglong, he cursed without thinking: "You are such a bad guy, I thought that I would have a good life if I met you! I didn't expect that you would kill your parents to death just like before." You want to kill me!"
"What did you say?" Linglong was shocked
She looked at the man, her face turned gray for a moment, as if she couldn't believe that the other man would say such things about her.
"Am I wrong in what I said? You are the broom star! If it hadn't been for you, even though my life would have been harder, I wouldn't have lost my life!"
The man became angry and pointed at Linglong and said to everyone in the hall: "It's her! She ordered me to do it! It's this woman who is greedy for other people's money and encouraged me to harm others!"
Greedy for other people's money?
Could it be that someone bribed Linglong and instructed her to do something?
Such thoughts suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.
When Cui Chun saw the man making a fuss, he immediately asked someone to stop him. He stuffed his mouth with hemp kernels and said in a cold voice: "How can I allow you to talk nonsense in front of the emperor and insult the holy audience?"
Li Qingyi glanced at Linglong with pity, and said to Mrs. Liu who was cowering aside: "Mrs. Liu, have you seen this person? Do you recognize him?"
Mrs. Liu glanced at the man and said honestly: "I've seen him... he's Guo Wei."
"Have you ever had any contact with him?"
Ms. Liu felt a little guilty, glanced at Mrs. Yu next to her, and said, "When Yushu came to see me, she made it clear that I was not the one who harmed the young master. If I am willing to tell the truth and cure Mr. Yu's illness, she will I stopped pursuing it, otherwise I would tell the Yu family about it. After that, I told Yushu about Gelsemium elegans."
"I was worried for a while, but Yushu never came to see me again. Later, I accidentally heard that she had entered the palace with a girl from the Pan family, and I felt relieved. Who knows, one day Guo Wei suddenly stopped me in the street and asked Did I cure Yu Gongzi's illness with a jade comb... Not long after, Yu Gongzi's condition relapsed..."
After listening to what she said, Li Qingyi looked at Guo Wei and said, "Master Yu has been in bed for a long time, so he often goes out for a walk after he recovers. The neighbors have heard about him, so they pay special attention to him, and You are a well-known gangster in the neighborhood. Several times, you were seen following him in the dark. Am I right?"
Guo Wei's mouth was gagged and he couldn't speak. He just stared at Linglong angrily and nodded fiercely.
Seeing his admission, Li Qingyi continued to ask: "Did Linglong ask you to attack the young master?"
Guo Wei seemed to deeply hate Linglong for dragging him down, his eyes became increasingly scarlet, and he nodded without hesitation.
Seeing him like this, Linglong burst into tears and shook her head: "Why do you do this to me? I went through all the trouble to find you and get to know you. I am your biological sister, and everything I do is for our future." I have a decent home and don’t have to be subordinate to others anymore..."
Guo Wei looked sarcastic and turned his head to stop looking at her.
Seeing Guo Wei like this, Linglong knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, almost fainting.
Li Qingyi faced Linglong and said, "You asked Guo Wei to inquire about Yushu and the Liu family because you want to know how much Yushu feels about the young master, and you want to know whether Yushu will take revenge for the young master, right? ?」
Linglong raised her eyes and looked around the crowd, then slowly raised her hands to cover her cheeks and teary eyes, as if to isolate everything.
The decadence and despair radiating from the inside out could be clearly felt by almost everyone in the hall.
After a long while, she choked and said, "Yes..."
Before anyone could react, Yushu had already rushed towards Linglong: "It's really you! Is it you? Why did you do this!"
Linglong remained motionless, letting her pull her hair, and her bun almost fell apart.
The eldest princess of Deqing saw that they were becoming more and more disgraceful and scolded: "Hurry up and pull them away!"
Yushu was pushed to the ground by the officer, but he still turned his head and stared at Linglong, with an expression as if he wanted to bite the other person's neck off: "Why! Why did you want to hurt him!? The person I saved after all the hard work ...Why do you want to harm him?!"
Linglong gradually stopped crying, slumped on the ground, and laughed at herself: "I know that you saved Mr. Yu's life, and I heard that you got the nobleman's permission to leave the palace, so I know that the matter between you and Mr. Yu is settled. Whereabouts. But I don’t want you to get what you want and stay with Mr. Yu. Because I don’t want you to get what I can’t get.
get. Therefore, I gave all my savings over the years to my brother, and asked him to attack the young master secretly, and promised to give him money to spend in the future. "
Yushu felt like five thunders were hitting his head, and after a while he asked: "You... are in love with the young master?"
"Ha...yes, I can't help myself from falling in love with you."
Linglong chuckled and said, "Looking at everything you did for him, I was very jealous. Unfortunately, I was a step too late. When I begged the noble lady, she said that she had already agreed to let you leave the palace, so she couldn't let me leave again. My hopes have failed, so I don’t want to see you in trouble! Who knew you would kill your master?”
Yushu couldn't react for a while, and stared at Linglong blankly.
Li Qingyi glanced at Qin Zeng, who was silent, with a vague look. The two people's eyes crossed each other, but in an instant they solidified a certain consensus.
Li Qingyi took a deep breath, exhaled it gently, and said, "Linglong, you are still lying!"
Linglong raised her eyelids and glanced at her: "I have already admitted the murder, do I still need to lie?"
Li Qingyi reached out to Mrs. Yu, and Mrs. Yu immediately took out a letter and handed it to her.
She opened the letter and said: "This is a letter that Liang Guiren once wrote to Mrs. Yu. She once complained that she had no caring people around her, and one or two of them had to leave the palace. She said that when Yushu was old, she would You have to leave the palace, and although you are safe, you are too timid and fearful. Maybe you will have to leave the palace when you reach your age. She was a little distressed, so she told Mrs. Yu twice. "
Linglong's expression changed and she said nothing.
"If you really go to a noble lady and say that you want to leave the palace, I'm afraid she won't stop you at all. In this case, what you said really needs to be scrutinized."
Li Qingyi stared at her, "Actually, your goal is not Mr. Yu, nor Yushu. From the beginning, you just wanted to guide Yushu to kill the noble man, right?"
