Chapter 130 Means
Lin Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and gently stroked her gauze handkerchief with her jade fingers. She looked calm, with a kind of determination and leisure that made a decision thousands of miles away.
A gentle voice came from my ear, "It seems that your highness's move is a killing move."
She curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Master Xiao has a good eye."
Although she didn't look back, she could clearly feel the burning and naked gaze, which was full of lust, as if it wanted to swallow her whole.
Her fingertips trembled slightly.
"I like it very much."
The voice was very soft, like the wind blowing from outside past her ears.
But it is hot.
It made her ears itch.
I don’t know what he meant, but he really liked the killing move in the previous sentence.
I still like to praise him for his good eyesight...
【Old Xiao, don’t love me too much】
[I love the way the villain plots for the princess.]
[It was really fatal, it cost the villain his life]
[Let's put it this way, the more powerful the princess is, the more the villain's desires will increase. A princess with skill will make him completely defenseless.]
[Bullshit, he has no resistance to the princess no matter what she looks like]
I really doubt that if the princess stabs him to death one day, he will be able to change his mind.
At this time, Xie Yu had already ordered people to put Cuiping in handcuffs.
"How dare you, Cuiping! Tell the truth now!"
Cuiping's face was filled with panic, "I..."
"What exactly is this Empress in the palace they're talking about?" Xie Yu asked coldly, "Is it some Empress in the palace who ordered you to do this?"
Cuiping knew at this point that she couldn't escape.
Even if she refused to admit it, it would be useless because the other party had already bitten her to death.
And she just said something wrong and blew herself up.
She looked at Concubine Chun for help, but she only saw Concubine Chun closing her eyes.
At this time, she understood what the Queen meant.
She took a deep breath.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Empress. This was done by this servant alone."
She glared at Lin Zhaoyue with hatred. "Princess Zhaohua is too arrogant on a daily basis. She always argues with the Empress and even embarrasses her many times. So, in order to avenge the Empress, I took the initiative to hire someone to kill her!"
"All of this was done by this servant, and has nothing to do with the Empress!"
Hearing her words, Concubine Chun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at her calmly, her clear and cold voice slowly rang out, "Cui Ping, have you thought it through?"
Cuiping's expression changed, and she immediately burst into tears. "I...I did it, it was all me!! Just kill me!"
Xie Yu's eyes were cold, "Kill you? If you are the mastermind behind the assassination of the princess, you will not be the only one to be killed. No one in your family will survive!"
Cuiping's heart skipped a beat and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at Concubine Chun, but addressed Xie Yu, "Master Xie, please continue."
Xie Yu nodded and immediately picked up a memorial. "This is the result of the investigation into the identities of the two assassins: Wang Shun and Zhao Qianwu. They are both from Xiling. Their residences in the capital and the gold and silver they used to purchase their houses are all items recorded in the records that His Majesty once bestowed upon Concubine Chun."
As he spoke, he handed the memorial to the two jurors beside him for review.
"How did you, a maidservant, obtain these items? You even bought a house for them in the capital? And you kept assassins?"
Xie Yu sneered, "Could it be that Concubine Chun is completely unaware of this?!"
Concubine Chun's eyes changed, and she angrily said, "What killer? I don't know what you are talking about!"
Xie Yu continued, "Wang Shun and Zhao Qianwu both have proof of having served in the Xiling Army. They both said that not only them, but all the assassins were from the Xiling Army... that is, the subordinates of Marquis Xuanping. They are lurking in the capital, taking orders from a certain noble. They have carried out multiple assassination missions against Princess Zhaohua."
He looked at Concubine Chun. "I wonder what your Majesty, Concubine Chun, has to say about this? So many assassins from the Xiling Army, are they only obeying your maid?"
Concubine Chun immediately stood up and said solemnly, "I don't know what Xiling Army you are talking about! This matter has nothing to do with my brother!"
The current development of the situation has completely exceeded her expectations.
The killer was indeed hired by her, but he was not from the Xiling Army at all!
It was just a group of experts that she asked her brother to help her recruit when she first came to Beijing.
She was afraid that something might happen in the future, so she kept them outside the palace as a precaution.
I even deliberately didn't use anyone around my brother, just for fear of causing trouble!
But why is the Xiling Army involved now? !
The case ends here.
The matter is no longer as simple as assassinating the princess.
Everyone felt a sense of tension as if a storm was about to come.
If this matter involves the Xiling Army, or even the Marquis of Xuanping...
Just thinking about it horrified them.
However, the evidence presented by Xie Yu has already confirmed the matter.
Those two people were indeed people who had served in the Xiling Army, and they had official seals on them, which was definitely not fake!
Raising assassins, even those from the Xiling Army, was obviously not something a maid could handle.
Cuiping was also a little confused, as if she was unaware of all this.
At this moment, officers came in.
"Your Excellency, this was found in Concubine Chun's bedroom."
The man stepped forward and handed over a voodoo doll.
And the name Lin Zhaoyue was clearly written on the voodoo doll.
And his body was covered with silver needles, which was creepy.
When she saw the voodoo doll, Concubine Chun's expression changed.
How did they find it?
She had hidden it in the most secret place, making it impossible for anyone to find it.
Lin Zhaoyue smiled faintly and glanced at Xiaoqi who was hiding behind the crowd.
I remembered what Xiao Qi said to me when she first moved out of the palace.
"Eldest sister, let me tell you, I secretly went to Concubine Chun's palace that day. I saw her making a doll with your name on it."
"She hid it really well, though. I still saw it. Let me tell you, her doll was hidden in a box under the bed..."
At this point, there is already evidence from both witnesses and objects.
Even if Concubine Chun did not admit it, she had no way to deny it.
Xie Yu looked at Concubine Chun, "Empress Chun, do you have anything else to say?"
Although the emperor did not speak at this time, his expression was already cold.
Concubine Chun knew that she could not escape today.
She took a deep breath and said, "The doll is indeed mine. Princess Zhaohua and I do have a personal grudge."
Xie Yu continued to ask, "Why did the Xiling Army appear in the capital and become your assassins? Did Marquis Xuanping and Prince Lu participate in the assassination of the princess? Please answer, Concubine Chun."
[Chun Fei: You made it up and you ask me?]
[Ask the princess, hahahaha]
[I didn't expect you guys to play like this.]
[Xie Yu, although you appeared late, it doesn't affect my liking for you]
Concubine Chun knew very well that there were only two options left.
Either he would die or he would deny it, but his identity as a member of the Xiling Army had been confirmed, and he was also the murderer who assassinated Princess Zhaohua.
Then it will definitely implicate my brother who is far away in Xiling.
They even used this as an excuse to deal with Xiling.
Chen Zhou is still in Beijing and is very likely to become a victim in the game between the two sides.
But even if she refused to admit it, it was a fact that she was suspected of murdering the princess, and there was no way to resolve it peacefully.
Or, she would admit to the assassination of Princess Zhaohua and reveal that these two were not her killers, and had nothing to do with her and the assassination of the princess.
This way, Xiling will not be implicated.
But if she admitted it, she would lose.
Completely lost...
She stared at Lin Zhaoyue with a sinister look, her eyes filled with hatred.
But in the end, he laughed, "Your Highness, your Highness, is so cruel!"
