Chapter 496
"...Really?" She didn't even know this.
"Otherwise, do you think that all the palace ladies are willing to contact the emperor? They have no choice. If they don't agree, do you know what will happen to them?"
As he said that, there was a hint of coolness in Du Kun's eyes: "I agreed, and I will be dealt with by Ling Zhaoyi. With these two people in this palace, everything is rotten. Now that they are gone, it is quite clean."
"
"...Shut up." Su Qiao couldn't help but said: "Are you seeking death? If you are seeking death, don't seek death for our master. You dare to say anything, right?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Du Kun looked over coldly, "Ayuan is our Third Highness, Song Rushan is the only one who can talk to her politely without forcing her, but she doesn't come here half-heartedly.
Did you serve tea? I don’t believe it, the emperor didn’t want to do anything to her.”
She nodded obediently: "It is true that the emperor had that intention. But I rejected it."
"You see? These two masters and servants are alike. The emperor does not seem to be a good person, and neither does he."
"..." Su Qiao's mouth twitched and he didn't want to speak anymore.
Du Kun looked at her again: "He is dead, and we are clean."
There is a story in his eyes.
It was as if he had finally released the anger he had harbored for a long time. Du Kun had always been a very calm person, and it was rare for him to appear uncool.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the uppers of his shoes. Under the lantern, she saw some mottled marks.
This is a bloodstain.
Her eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly stopped: "There are blood stains on your shoes. Why didn't you wipe them clean?"
Du Kun and Su Qiao were startled, and looked at the shoe in unison, and then looked at her in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
Suddenly, several people came up from behind. They were from the Si Shen Mansion: "Did you just come out of the Emperor's Qinghe Hall? The Emperor has an order that anyone who has entered or left the Qinghe Hall must go back and be investigated."
The hot air seemed to be filled with an aura of terror.
The candlelight flickered inside the paper lantern, like someone's chaotic heartbeat.
Du Kun looked at her without blinking. She tilted her head and suddenly smiled: "I'll go back with you."
Turning around, he faced the master of Si Shen Mansion:
"I was the one who entered and exited the Qinghe Hall. These two people are from His Highness the Third Prince. They were waiting at the door and did not pass through the hall."
The murder of the emperor's personal eunuch caused an uproar, and the palace was heavily guarded, fearing that the assassin would choose the emperor if he turned around.
Song Rushan's body was quickly sent to Si Shen's Mansion for autopsy. All the people who had spoken to him were designated as suspects and locked up in a small dark room in Si Shen's Mansion. There were four people who even went to the toilet.
A bodyguard is accompanying you everywhere.
Jiang Yuan sat alone outside the cell, watching the guards patrolling outside for entertainment.
The other palace maids all huddled in a heap, with tears in their eyes: "That assassin came and went without a trace. None of us saw him, and yet he even wanted to lock us all up."
"We were locked up just because we couldn't find anyone. I heard that he was discovered not long after his death, so maybe the assassin is still in the Qinghe Hall." A reasonably sane palace maid answered, quietly.
Looking in the direction of Jiang Yuan:
"If I were to say who among us is the most suspicious, wouldn't it be the person who is dressed differently from us?"
This sentence successfully aroused the hostility of the other palace maids.
The maid stood up, walked up to her and asked directly: "Does this matter have something to do with you?"
Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked up at her while sitting in the haystack.
This palace maid looks upright, with sword-shaped eyebrows and round eyes, but she has a mouth that looks like an upside-down boat with a little resentment mixed in it.
He looks quite upright, but unfortunately his heart is blind.
Jiang Yuan looked away and asked casually: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"What did you say you?"
The palace maid's eyes widened, as if she was about to rush up and beat her. A few quick hands behind her quickly stopped her, and a group of people stood in this posture to confront her: "I heard someone said that it was Manager Song who forced you to come to Qinghe Hall to serve the emperor.
Yes, logically speaking, you should be the person who hates Manager Song the most, and he died as soon as Manager Song pulled you over, don't you have any suspicion?"
Jiang Yuan was happy when he heard this:
"Did you know that when General Manager Song died, I was in the emperor's palace. If I killed him, the emperor would not be able to escape suspicion."
"You -" she gritted her teeth and snorted heavily: "Anyway, I think there is something wrong with you. Either you are the real culprit of the murder, or you are colluding with others and killing him together."
This girl is quite good at judging people.
With dim eyes, Jiang Yuan looked at her with a smile and said nothing.
The palace girls next to him immediately pulled him away, and a group of people huddled there and whispered: "Why do you think you offended her for no reason? She is the personal palace maid of His Highness, and Manager Song is different except that he serves the master.
, what’s the difference?”
"I just think something is wrong with her. Which one of us is not frightened? But she is different. From the beginning when she was caught to now, she is so calm. Only people who have done it or know who the murderer is will not act like this.
Worry."
As she said that, the palace maid glared at her again and said categorically: "And I heard that the only person who had conflicts with Mr. Song during his lifetime was her. She was the person who least gave Mr. Song face. In a moment of impatience, she killed him.
There are some, too.”
The most annoying thing is that this kind of person who is nothing can still analyze some ridiculous reasons logically.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ridicule: "Then if you say so, will you be the one who dies next time? You have to be careful when you leave the tree, or you will be stabbed in the throat and suffocated to death."
"!!"
This unscared thing was suddenly frightened to death. He tremblingly pointed at her and said to the people next to him: "Did you see it? Did you hear it? This girl must be suspicious, she is definitely suspicious!"
Jiang Yuan put his hand on his chin and looked at her with a smile: "I have suspicions, and so do you. Some murderers just want to put on a show first and quickly find someone to replace your suspicions, right?"
"You are this person——"
"Okay, okay, what are you all arguing about? This is Si Shen Mansion, not a place for you to quarrel!"
The guards who arrived at some unknown time scolded them and turned to Jiang Yuan:
"You come out."
This was the first summons, and as soon as it was her, a heated discussion immediately broke out in the crowd.
Jiang Yuan frowned and followed the guard with her hand and anklets until she reached the end of the corridor. The guard opened the door and pushed her in unceremoniously.
