"It is a capital crime for a commoner Li to leave the palace without authorization."
After a long while, Emperor Ming finally spoke leisurely. The expression on his face seemed to be very fair, but the words he spoke were too biased.
"She was an orphan to begin with, and her death now would be regarded as atonement for the sins she had committed."
Mentioning Li Shuren, Emperor Ming could not help but think of the last time when Qi Concubine was involved in the death of a guard. She once said that she saw Li Shuren appear.
At that time, he thought this was an excuse and calculation for Qi Bi to lie. The reason why she did this was because she was bribed by Lu Yuncheng and several brothers.
Now it seems that Qi Bi is indeed innocent.
Emperor Ming's face immediately turned ugly.
Of course he didn't care whether Qi Concubine was unjustly accused, nor did he care about the life or death of common people Li. What he cared about was that he was his majestic emperor, but he was repeatedly played around by these young people.
No matter what, this time regarding the Li common people, he will use the majesty of the emperor to suppress them, so that they know who is the lord of Daxia and the lord of all people!
"As for the matter of commoner Li leaving the palace privately, I will have people investigate it clearly."
Su Qingyu didn't know that Emperor Ming was talking about investigating, but he actually knew better than anyone else.
As for why he did not convict him, the reason is not difficult to guess.
But how could she agree to this matter being covered up so lightly?
"Your Majesty! I believe that investigating the death of Commoner Li is as important as Commoner Li leaving the palace privately."
"Li Shuren died in the royal hunting ground, so all the clues are naturally here."
"After returning to Beijing, there are no clues. In addition, Li Shuren is dead. It may not be easy to find out this matter."
Emperor Ming's expression changed, and he was obviously displeased.
He didn't believe that with Su Qingyu's brain, she wouldn't be able to hear the sound of his words.
She clearly did it on purpose!
The desire to kill Su Qingyu increased again.
"What Princess Yuan'an said makes sense, but don't forget that everyone has to return to Beijing tomorrow. Do you want me and so many courtiers and their families to wait to find out the cause of the death of an abandoned concubine, and then Are you leaving back to Beijing?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. Of course, I will not let Your Majesty and the ministers return to the capital on another date. So many of us saw Miss Jiang killing Li Shuren with our own eyes, so we have witnesses."
Su Qingyu's neither humble nor arrogant attitude made Emperor Ming even more angry.
"If Your Majesty needs physical evidence, I can also have it..."
When she said this, Su Qingyu almost raised her eyes and looked directly at Emperor Ming, without flinching at all from Emperor Ming's majestic eyes.
Today's disaster must be carried by Jiang Lan because she has to carry it, and she must carry it even if she doesn't!
Jiang Lanyin obviously saw Su Qingyu's intention. Even if he had confidence in Emperor Ming, he still panicked when he saw Su Qingyu's confident look.
"Princess Yuan'an! I don't know where I have offended you to make you want to kill me so much!"
Su Qingyu smiled and did not give any explanation. Instead, she slowly came to her side and leaned into her ear.
Just this one movement could make Jiang Lanyin's blood freeze instantly, not to mention that Su Qingyu was still in her ear, telling her secret.
"Jiang Lanyin, you lost again this time!"
Jiang Lanyin stared at Su Qingyu, so nervous that his palms were sweating: "What do you mean?"
"Isn't it what you said: 'To truly kill people and silence them, you often don't need to get your hands dirty'."
"I wonder if Miss Jiang is still familiar with this sentence?"
Jiang Lanyin was stunned like a bolt from the blue, and the scene in Wanjin Tower that day still appeared in his mind.
Because what Su Qingyu just said was what the counselor told her at Wanjin Tower that day!
Su Qingyu actually knew! How did she know about this? !
In this case, Su Qingyu had always known about her plan, but she had been pretending as if nothing had happened.
Only then did Jiang Lanyin realize that he had always underestimated Su Qingyu's abilities.
No wonder her grandfather was afraid of her, even if she was about to be imprisoned, he still wanted to teach her to keep calm...
"You obviously know everything, but you still pretend that nothing has happened! Su Qingyu, you are really..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Lanyin immediately realized that he had fallen into Su Qingyu's trap.
She turned pale with fright and immediately knelt on the ground, daring not to make a sound again.
After Su Qingyu achieved her goal, she stopped being aggressive and returned to stand beside Lu Yuncheng.
There is a kind of attitude that has nothing to do with oneself.
Emperor Ming had been the emperor for so many years. He spent every day in the court watching the various performances of civil and military officials coming and going. Of course, he could roughly analyze the truth in the current situation.
Killing Jiang Lanyin is not a difficult task. What is difficult is that he just made a deal with Jiang Shuifu...
The only thing that can cause trouble to the Jiang family is Jiang Shuifu, and the second Jiang family cannot be implicated...
Emperor Ming only felt that his head hurt. Looking at the people in front of him who were constantly looking for trouble for him, he wished he could kill them all.
He could only turn his head to look at Zhou Lin, hoping that Zhou Lin could understand what kind of topic he, the emperor, wanted.
"Zhou Qing, you were there at the time. Please tell me."
Zhou Lin was suddenly named, and his headache was no less severe than that of Emperor Ming.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen was on patrol at the time, and happened to see Miss Jiang in a panic. After Wei Chen went over to inquire, he found out that it was Princess Yuan'an and His Highness Prince Ling who had entered the dense forest one after another for some unknown reason."
"Wei Chen was worried that wild beasts would come out at night. It wouldn't be good if the princess or His Highness Prince Ling were hurt, so he asked Miss Jiang to lead the way and we went into the forest to look for someone."
"Unexpectedly, not long after we entered the forest, we saw Li running towards Miss Jiang in a panic, shouting for Wei Chen and Miss Jiang to save her. But after the two collided, Li It didn’t take long for the common man to lose his breath.”
In order to avoid involving himself in it, and to prevent Emperor Ming from discovering his dealings with Lu Yuncheng, Zhou Lin was impartial and upright when he said these words again.
It was because of his attitude that Emperor Ming's eyebrows, which had been furrowed all night, finally relaxed.
From the hints on Emperor Ming's expression, Zhou Lin understood what Emperor Ming wanted to hear.
While he was clearing his throat, he glanced at Lu Yuncheng while Emperor Ming was not paying attention.
Seeing the other party gently nodding towards him, he felt a little more confident.
"To sum up, Wei Chen believes that there are many doubts about Li Shuren's death, and we should not draw hasty conclusions."
Emperor Ming finally narrowed his eyes with satisfaction: "In Zhou Qing's opinion, what should be the appropriate way to handle this matter?"
"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty can first let Princess Yuan'an and Miss Jiang go back to their tents to rest, and then send someone to find out how commoner Li quietly entered the hunting ground. This matter is naturally very serious. The truth will be revealed soon.”
