"you……"
Liu Mingyue's heart was shaken like a collision, and the sharp point between her eyebrows was like a bone scraper, really daring to kill her.
How dare she?
Ye Jinxiao, how dare you say such things to me?
How can that rough woman’s life be compared to mine?
I am the person that King Yu holds dear to his heart!
Ye Ming was extremely fast, and within half a quarter of an hour, he turned back and said, "There is no hairpin you are looking for in her tent."
"Where is the murder weapon?" Ye Jinxiao looked at Liu Mingyue.
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
Ye Jinxiao strode towards her, "Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb like me here. If you do something like this, aren't you afraid that Lady Cui'er will come looking for you in the middle of the night and ask for your life?"
Liu Mingyue subconsciously looked at Cui'er's mother's body.
Mother Cui'er was lying on the ground, her mouth wide open, her eyes widened, her bloody throat was stabbed into bloody pieces, like chopped meat with a knife...
I can’t help but think of the struggling and screaming...
She was hot-headed and had only one thought: not to be discovered, and absolutely not to be discovered by others.
Crazy poke.
Poke!
Poke!
Lots and lots of blood...
When it touches her hand, it feels so hot, so hot...
Her face turned pale, and her lips quivered: "What, what do you mean? I don't understand, I don't understand, I'm going back to rest!"
She turned to leave, but was caught by a slender hand.
"ah!"
The tight heartstrings seemed to be broken. Liu Mingyue was so frightened that she couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped up and screamed:
"Let me go! What are you doing! Don't touch me!"
"roll!"
"Get away!"
At this moment, Chu Yuci received a report from the soldiers and rushed over: "Yue'er."
"Brother Yuci!"
Liu Mingyue's eyes widened, and immediately filled with mist, she rushed forward as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Brother Yuci, help me, my sister wants to harm me, she wants to kill me!"
Chu Yuci caught her panicked body and glanced at Ye Jinxiao with cold eyes.
Before he could speak, Ye Jinxiao said coldly:
"I didn't see you crying when I was killing someone."
Chu Yuci frowned and then noticed a woman's body lying there.
"what happened?"
Liu Mingyue cried: "I don't know what happened. Yue'er was sleeping, and suddenly she was called by her sister. As soon as she came, she said I was a murderer and asked me to pay for this woman's life."
"Brother Yuci, luckily you arrived in time, otherwise Yue'er would have been here tonight..."
Overly frightened, Douda's tears fell down.
Chu Yuci pinched his eyebrows and killed people to pay for their lives, which was naturally the right thing to do, but if there was trouble for nothing, he would not be lenient.
"Ye Jinxiao, what do you want to do?"
again?
What does she mean?
Even though his life was at risk, he was still protecting the delicate poisonous snake, and still thought that she was bullying Liu Mingyue?
When Ye Jinxiao heard this, he just wanted to look up to the sky and laugh sarcastically:
"Concubine Liu sneaked into my tent in the middle of the night and put the poison of heartbroken grass in the cup. Cui'er, who came to deliver the sobering soup, broke it. Concubine Liu was worried that her deeds would be exposed, so she stabbed her to death with a hairpin."
"I don't!!"
"Nonsense! Brother Yuci, she is talking nonsense!"
Liu Mingyue hugged the man's arm and objected loudly: "After the party, I have been resting in my tent and haven't gone anywhere."
"Then where is your double-layered silver butterfly hairpin?"
Ye Jinxiao was already convinced that she was the murderer.
In the epidemic area, most of the women affected by the disaster are civilian women and peasant women. They usually wear wooden hairpins or wrap their hair with cloth towels, and then tie them up to make it easier to work.
The wooden hairpin cannot pierce a person's throat at all.
"My hairpin, hairpin... I accidentally dropped it on the way back from Jiangbei." Liu Mingyue lied.
"That's not what you just said."
"It just fell off!"
With King Yu around, Liu Mingyue was full of energy, raised his head, and said loudly:
"Brother Yuci, I was in a hurry on my way to Jiangbei without stopping for a moment. I accidentally dropped my double-layered silver butterfly hairpin on the way. By the time I realized it, I didn't know where it was."
"Sister, using only a lost hairpin, slandered me as a murderer. How is this any different from slandering others?"
Her back was straight, her voice was loud and confident.
She didn't match her preface with what she said at the end. She was obviously guilty and dared to quibble.
Ye Jinxiao was about to step forward.
"That's enough!" Chu Yuci raised a cold voice, "If you lost a hairpin, you are the real murderer? Why did she kill this woman for no reason?"
Ye Jinxiao grabbed the water cup mixed with heartbroken grass and threw it to Chu Yuci.
"Because she wants my life!"
The poison in this cup is the best evidence.
"It's a pity that Mother Cui'er broke into her and she killed and silenced her."
"nonsense!"
Liu Mingyue jumped up and screamed: "I have never seen this poison, how could it harm you? If I really want to poison you, there are so many opportunities to do it these days, why do I do it now?"
Ye Jinxiao looked at her sarcastically: "Have you done a lot of things these days?"
"..."
Liu Mingyue choked.
Anyway, she didn't kill anyone.
She denied it flat out, what could Ye Jinxiao do to her?
Chu Yuci frowned. Someone suddenly died. He could understand Ye Jinxiao's mood, but he also believed in Liu Mingyue.
Liu Mingyue has a kind heart.
How can a woman who doesn’t even dare to kill a chicken kill someone?
"Feng Xing, you start investigating this matter, change the tent for the princess, and the others organize the team, and prepare to return to the capital at dawn."
Feng Xing accepted the order: "Yes."
"Wait!"
Ye Jinxiao raised his hand.
"Chu Yuci, don't mess with Xini here. I am convinced that the murder weapon is in this epidemic area. All you need to do is give the order now and order the soldiers to launch a carpet search to find the murder weapon."
Liu Mingyue trembled.
She buried the hairpin under the tree over there, not far away, only seven or eight meters away. If she really wanted to find it, it would be dug out in less than two quarters of an hour...
"I will return to the capital in triumph at dawn, and I will return to the palace to resume my duties. The soldiers have fought such a long 'battle', so they should have a good rest."
It is impossible to use hundreds of soldiers to find a lost hairpin for a civilian woman.
How could the hairpin lost in Jiangbei be found in the epidemic area?
Besides, this epidemic lasted for more than 20 days and killed nearly ten thousand people. He had more important things to do and had no energy to waste on this.
Feng Xing is his confidant who he personally cultivated. He has shown the utmost sincerity by sending Feng Xing to investigate this matter.
Ye Jinxiao: "I told you, the murder weapon must be in the epidemic area, you just need to lend me your manpower!"
The epidemic area is so big that it accommodates nearly two thousand people. With her own strength, I am afraid that even if it takes three days and three nights, it will not be able to climb higher.
"Ye Jinxiao, can you stop making trouble without reason?"
"Why do you feel that way?"
Chu Yuci looked at her mockingly: "You don't understand anything."
“The storm brought about by the epidemic is deadly and fierce. Broken families, displaced orphans, abandoned crops, collapsed houses, bankrupt farmers...the disasters caused can eat away at every fragile life.”
"I must return to the capital as soon as possible and help the people of Nancheng and Feicheng get on the right track. I really can't delay the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in Nancheng and Feicheng for the sake of a dead peasant woman, and I have no time to play with you here. A trick played by women to compete for favor.”
"The king ordered Fengxing to stay to investigate the case and handle the funeral affairs. I have given this civilian woman the utmost dignity. Don't be dissatisfied."
Ye Jinxiao suddenly smiled.
It turned out that he believed Cui'er's mother's death was her way of framing Liu Mingyue.
He thinks she wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Mingyue in order to win favor?
Liu Mingyue smiled so happily, snuggled into Chu Yuci's arms, breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a provocative look at her.
Bitch!
What's the point of catching me?
Brother Yuci loves her very much and has deep faith in her.
Are you angry?
I'm so mad at you!
Ye Jinxiao looked at Chu Yuci with calm eyes: "Chu Yuci, when will you trust me?"
Liu Mingyue's acting skills are really poor. Whenever he believes in her, just once, he can see Liu Mingyue's true face clearly.
Chu Yuci said coldly: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that your acting skills are too poor."
"If you target others, I can still listen to you say a few words, but you target Yue'er again and again. Yue'er is kind and soft-hearted. On weekdays, she has never even trampled an ant to death. She sees the dusk, sunset, and dusk crows flying. Every scene I've seen makes me cry, but you framed me for murder."
Destroying someone's reputation is tantamount to killing someone.
"Ye Jinxiao, how vicious is your heart?"
