Chapter 339 Assassination

Seeing Forsythia constantly peeking outside the door, Su Mumu knew that Forsythia was worried about the strong wind outside the door when she was alone with Nan Muchen.

After coming out of Yangxin Hall, Su Mumu planned to take a look at the situation.

In front of the empty palace gate, there are still the shadows of Nan Muchen and Gale Feng.

"Have you seen the emperor?"

The guards of Yangxin Hall all responded, and the emperor has left.

"Why did you come and leave so suddenly? What was the fuss about?"

Talking to himself, he went back to look for Forsythia, and was surprised to see Hayate and Forsythia standing together talking.

Seeing Su Mumu coming back alone, Gale Feng ducked and retreated.

"Your Majesty, why didn't the Emperor come back with you?"

Shaking her head, Su Mumu called for Gale to come out.

"Why do you want me to see Hayate?"

He walked around the fast wind playing flash mob for several times with his hands behind his back.

As expected of a couple, even the routines were the same. However, Su Mumu's was naturally not as good as Nan Muchen's, who had profound skills, and did not put too much pressure on Gaofeng.

"The Emperor just came back, why did he leave again?"

Su Mumu seemed to be chatting about family matters, but Gao Feng, who was being interrogated, definitely did not dare to take it lightly.

"This, I don't know. The emperor's whereabouts are not for my subordinates to ask. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Haha, the tone of voice is tight enough. Su Mumu sneered.

"Did the Emperor tell you so?"

The gale that stared straight ahead returned dimly.

"The emperor only stood briefly in front of Yangxin Hall, and then returned to Liuli Terrace."

Su Mumu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked again.

"What did the emperor say to you?"

Gaofeng was stunned by Su Mumu's question.

"The Emperor only ordered his subordinates to take care of the safety of the Queen. He did not give any other instructions to Hayate."

Could something have happened? Otherwise, why would Nan Muchen, who was receiving the envoys from Xihe, come back to the Yangxin Hall halfway and ask Gale to be responsible for safety.

"What happened to Liulicai?"

Being asked suddenly by Su Mumu, Gao Feng's expression instantly revealed his true feelings.

"Nothing happened."

Obviously lying, Su Mumu narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, and her amber eyes shot out sharply.

"Hayate, when did you learn to lie to me?"

The masters on both sides are not good at each other, so Gale sighed secretly that his life was miserable.

"The emperor told Gale not to say anything."

Grit your teeth and try to hide everything from me, you stinky Nan Muchen.

"What important matter must be hidden from me?"

Gao Feng still wanted to keep his mouth shut, but was hit by Forsythia beside him.

"The envoy of Xihe was assassinated in Liuli Terrace. The emperor was worried about the safety of the empress, so he hurried back to the Yangxin Hall to visit the empress. He was worried that the empress would be scared if she knew about it, so he specifically asked Gao Feng not to say anything."

Alas, I will betray my husband before I get through the door. Gale shook his head helplessly and continued to dodge.

"Forsythia, how do you know this?"

Su Mumu guessed that it was probably Gale who told Forsythia first just now. Sure enough, when Forsythia replied, it was Gale who told her.

"The Queen! I want to see the Queen, please let me in!"

Suddenly someone was heard making a noise outside the palace door, and Forsythia quickly came out to ask. Su Mumu sounded suspicious and anxious, so she also came out to take a look.

"The Queen, please make the decision!"

It turned out to be Baili Ruyue who wanted to make something happen even if she had nothing to do, so Su Mumu had no choice but to ask questions patiently.

"Why does Concubine Ru want me to make the decision?"

With raised eyebrows and angry eyes, Baili Ruyue prayed full of grievances.

"Your Majesty, two of the maids in my concubine's Jade Palace were killed, and I ask your concubine to make the decision for Ru Yue."

Since it's a matter within the palace, it really can't be ruled out. As the master of the harem, it's hard to ignore it. Su Mumu asked cooperatively.

"Concubine Ru said that the maid in the Jade Palace was killed by someone. Is there any evidence?"

Wasn't it you, Baili Ruyue, who secretly tortured her to death? After saying this silently in her heart, Su Mumu just waited for Baili Ruyue to reply.

"The Immortal Concubine sent someone to kill them. Xiao Changzi, the young eunuch in the Jade Palace, saw with his own eyes that Aunt Zhao and Aunt Lin from the Yunxiao Palace personally pushed the two palace maids into the Jinshui River and immersed them alive.

.”

In broad daylight, there are people who dare to blatantly soak people to death. This statement sounds extremely low-credibility.

"Let's go, take me to have a look."

It was better to let the facts speak for themselves. Su Mumu motioned to Baili Ruyue to lead the way, and followed behind, accompanied by Forsythia, and together they went to a secluded bend in the Jinshui River.

On the bank of the river lay two corpses covered with shrouds.

How could a medical student be afraid of two corpses? Su Mumu stepped forward and lifted up the shroud, not looking at it. Su Mumu was really shocked when she saw it.

The two palace ladies who were drowned to death were the same two palace ladies who had accompanied him to fly a kite before.

"how so?"

Su Mumu couldn't believe her eyes. Two such fresh human lives suddenly turned into two cold corpses. She stepped back a few steps and took a closer look again.

"Why, the Queen recognizes them both?"

Seeing that Su Mumu looked wrong, Baili Ruyue asked tentatively.

"Yes, these two palace ladies have accompanied me to fly kites before."

After calming down, Su Mumu stepped forward and inspected each item carefully.

The body is cold, there is water in the chest, the limbs are swollen, and water is constantly flowing out of the mouth. All symptoms are consistent with the characteristics of a drowned person.

After determining the cause of death of the two palace maids, Su Mumu found the eunuch Xiao Changzi who Baili Ruyue had mentioned.

"Have you ever seen with your own eyes the person who killed these two palace ladies?"

Xiao Changzi, who was no longer old enough to wear his hair, shook his clothes and knelt down to report.

"Replying to your Majesty, it was Xiao Changzi who saw with his own eyes the two nuns in the Yunxiao Palace immersing the two sisters to death."

Although there are witnesses, what is the purpose? Su Mumu frowned and thought about it before ordering.

"Bring those two nuns."

Someone had already gone to fetch Aunt Zhao and Aunt Lin from Yunxiao Palace.

Inexplicably, they were taken to the bank of the Jinshui River like a prisoner. When they saw the queen standing on the spot, they quickly knelt down and knelt down to worship.

"Why did you two want to kill these two maids from the Jade Palace?"

They were a little stunned when asked. It took a while for the two nuns to wake up and kowtow and beg.

"The Queen is aware that I am serving the fairy concubine who is infected with the cold in the Yunxiao Palace today. I have never left the Yunxiao Palace. I hope that the Queen will be aware of this."

Xiao Changzi, who was kneeling next to him and listening to the sound, shrank his head in fear and did not dare to look at the two nuns who were kneeling and begging.

"Xiao Changzi, can you see clearly that it's these two nuns?"

He raised his head tremblingly, took a peek, and then quickly lowered his head.

"Replying to your Majesty, Xiao Changzi saw very clearly that it was indeed these two nuns."

It would be great if Conan was here. Su Mumu was a little big-headed, so she reached out and touched the veins of the two nuns.

The pulse rate is extremely fast, but it cannot be counted as evidence. It is abnormal for someone at this age not to have a faster pulse rate when something happens.
