Chapter 259 Miss Yao is Dead
When I got up in the morning, the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain.
After washing up, An Jiu came to the backyard. She found that everyone had strange expressions and seemed to be communicating something silently.
The palace is not big, but not small either. There are so many people in it that there are no secrets.
So An Jiu asked Xiao Qiu what happened.
Xiao Qiu pulled An Jiu aside, looked around, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to this side, she whispered, "Miss Yao is dead."
An Jiu was stunned. The last time he heard news about Miss Yao was when she came to the palace to see Concubine Shu with something in her hand.
"How could it be?" An Jiu found it unbelievable.
Xiao Qiu shook her head, her face solemn: "I don't know either, everyone says so..."
There may be some other rumors behind this reaction, but these rumors can only be understood and cannot be spoken out.
An Jiu ran to Guanghua Palace. The emperor had not returned yet. As soon as Xiao Fuzi saw An Jiu, she pulled her over.
"Xiaojiu, something happened." Xiao Fuzi looked solemn.
An Jiu asked: "Miss Yao is dead?"
Xiao Fuzi shook her head: "Miss Yao's death is nothing..."
He also looked around before saying, "I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else..." He covered his mouth and whispered, "Everyone says that His Majesty killed Miss Yao."
"How could that be?" An Jiu was very shocked and thought he had heard it wrong.
Xiao Fuzi remained silent. This was impossible for a normal emperor, but what about an abnormal emperor?
How many people did he kill in those years? The fence could circle around Guanghua Hall.
But Anjiu was still unwilling to believe it.
An Jiu thought, why would the tyrant kill Miss Yao when they had nothing to do with each other? It made no sense.
Moreover, she knew the tyrant, even if it was...
Even if it is what?
An Jiu recalled that when he first met the tyrant, he really just picked up a knife and killed people...
Can……
The Tyrant has changed now...
Could it be that Miss Yao had stimulated him with something?
But even if he was provoked, if he really killed Miss Yao, it would be difficult for him to pass the test of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion...
The Duke of Yingguo's family is a century-old family with deep roots. It would be very disadvantageous to the emperor if he made enemies with them.
An Jiu stood there for a while, and suddenly realized that, unconsciously, she seemed to be really influenced by the environment. After hearing that the tyrant might have killed someone, her first reaction was to excuse him.
She remembered that she was almost frightened to death the first time she saw the tyrant kill the guards and palace maids who were having an affair. After that, she was very afraid of the tyrant for a long time.
But now...
She seemed to be gradually losing her respect for life.
An Jiu was feeling very nervous.
It was not until noon that she met the emperor.
Jiang Sheng was also there, and they entered the hall together.
"The secret guards lost us last night..." Jiang Sheng got angry when he mentioned this. He glanced at Lin San and said meaningfully, "If it doesn't work, just replace these rubbish."
It's useless!!!
Not once could anyone be found.
As for the emperor's high martial arts skills...
So what?
So what if his cousin is better at martial arts?
Is this the reason why the secret guards are useless?
If they really have some sense of shame, wouldn't it be enough for them to practice martial arts until they are better than their cousin?
Unfortunately they didn't.
Trash, all trash!
Lin San did not feel the slightest bit of disdain from Jiang Sheng. He simply recounted what happened last night.
They saw the tyrant go out.
I didn’t bring Xiaojiu with me.
This is very surprising.
However, Lin San didn't think much about it and led people to chase after him, but he lost them soon.
Without Xiaojiu, the tyrant is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins.
Fortunately, there were only a few maps he had unlocked, and they looked for them one by one and soon found them in Hua Street.
At that time, the tyrant was covered in blood, and his sudden appearance caused quite a stir...
After a brief panic, Lin San chased the tyrant away, leaving two people to see what happened in Huajie?
Lin San suspected that the tyrant was ill and killed people in the street.
His guess was correct.
There was indeed a death in Huajie. A girl had a hole in her neck from a sharp weapon, and blood was all over the floor...
Lin San secretly glanced at the emperor...
On the emperor's desk, there was a bloody golden hairpin...
The tyrant brought it back last night, but unfortunately he fainted before he even entered the palace...
In the morning court, although the emperor was prepared, he was still shocked when the Duke of England knocked his head to the ground and tearfully asked him to investigate the murderer...
He took the hairpin and examined it carefully.
The workmanship is good, and it looks beautiful...
"Where did this hairpin come from?" asked the emperor.
Lin San suddenly had something else to say, and asked suspiciously, "Is it Miss Yao's?"
Jiang Sheng glared at him fiercely: "Are you blind? Is Miss Yao's name written on this hairpin?"
Even if he wrote it, he would have to melt it down quickly!
Regardless of whether this was done by my cousin or not, I cannot admit it.
Lin San frowned and looked at Jiang Sheng speechlessly, thinking that if the hairpin wasn't hers, then the blood must be Miss Yao's...
Jiang Sheng: "..."
From now on, the first item in the secret guard assessment will be to eliminate fools like this!!!
An Jiu was waiting outside anxiously. Soon she saw Yan Wenjie coming. He nodded to her and entered Guanghua Hall.
Facing the emperor, Yan Wenjie was a little nervous.
Emperor: "Tell me what happened last night."
Yan Wenjie glanced at the bloody gold hairpin on the emperor's hand, and tried his best to appear normal: "Last night, I heard someone shouting that someone was killed, so I led some people over, and then I found Miss Yao's body..."
It’s similar to what Lin San said.
So here comes the question…
"Why did Miss Yao go to Red Street?" Jiang Sheng asked.
Miss Yao is a rich lady. It is very suspicious for her to appear on the red-light district in the middle of the night.
Yan Wenjie didn't know the specific identity of this imperial physician Jiang. He might appear beside the emperor, so he must be a confidant...
"I asked the people in the Duke of Ying's mansion. Miss Yao's maid said that Miss Yao received a letter and went out, and she was not allowed to follow her. She didn't know the content of the letter, nor did she know who she was going out to meet."
After the maid finished speaking, she was slapped in the face by the Duke's wife.
Because the maid was negligent in her duty.
Even if the young lady was willful, she should have told the Duke's wife in time, maybe Miss Yao would not have died...
"Cousin, this is a trap." Jiang Sheng concluded.
But how could my cousin not know?
The question is, is it the person who killed...
That strange rose scent made the person go crazy when he smelled it.
It’s not impossible…
The emperor looked at the golden hairpin in his hand.
Gave several orders.
To Yan Wenjie, he said: "I will not use this kind of thing to kill people..."
He threw the hairpin on the table.
He's more likely to break his neck...
"Check where this hairpin came from."
After Yan Wenjie left, the emperor looked at Lin San and said earnestly: "Train some more secret guards, and they must be talented."
Lin San: "..."
After Lin San left, the emperor whispered something to Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng nodded. He walked to the door and the emperor called him again.
"Remove the Queen Mother's ban and let her visit Concubine Shu more often when she has nothing to do, so that she won't feel lonely."
Jiang Sheng laughed when he heard that.
