When You Meng saw Lan Ying restless, she advised her softly: "Your aunt may have something to go away. Since she promised to wait for you to return home together, she will come back later. Don't worry."

As soon as Lan Ying calmed down, she heard Xiao Bengzi shouting and running over: "Master! Something big happened, Master!"

Youmeng was shocked: "Why are you so panicked?"

When Xiao Bengzi saw Lan Ying, he didn't even bother to answer Youmeng. He said anxiously: "Miss Lan is here, and something is wrong! It's been rumored in the palace now that Mrs. Shangguan killed someone there!"

Lan Ying was shocked: "What!"

Youmeng also opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

When they arrived at the scene, they heard Yan Ruoshan crying loudly. Youmeng's eyes turned and saw that Lu's body had been turned over and was lying on the ground. The clothes on her heart were stained with blood. The stone not far away was also covered in blood, and the blood was almost condensed.

Yan Ruoshan knelt beside Lu, pushed her arm and cried bitterly: "Mom... wake up, I'm Ruoshan... don't scare me, mom..."

But Lu was lying there and did not move, and he died for a while.

Yan Ruoyu stood beside him and watched. Youmeng happened to walk to her. Ruoyu subconsciously turned around and saw her. Youmeng asked her what was going on. Ruoyu's eyes were full of confusion. After the two exchanged their eyes, Youmeng looked back at Lu again.

The queen rushed over quickly after hearing the news. She didn't say a word and was scrutinizing the scene with her cold eyes.

Concubine Min was also there. Looking at Lu's shocking death, she felt deeply uneasy, and it was rare that such a strong fear appeared in her eyes.

In the other focus of everyone's sight, Zi Han pursed her lips tightly and looked around in panic. The eyes that looked at her were like sharp blades cutting on her body.

Lan Ying rushed up and hugged her: "Auntie, what's going on? Why do they all say..."

"It's you!" Before Lan Ying finished asking, Yan Ruoshan rushed up like crazy, trying to tear Zi Han apart, "The murderer!"

Lan Ying hurriedly blocked her forward and tried to push away her stretched arms to prevent her from touching her aunt: "Miss Yan San, what are you doing? If you have something to say, don't be impulsive..."

Yan Ruoshan was in a stalemate with her arms, her eyes swaying in tears, and she glared fiercely at Lan Ying: "Your vicious aunt killed my mother! I want her to pay her life!"

"No such thing!" Lan Ying always spoke slowly, but now she lost control. She looked back at Zi Han and felt at a loss. "What happened? Why is this happening..."

"My mother is dead, why are you still pretending to be innocent!" Yan Ruoshan was hysterical, "You and your aunt are in the same group. You killed my mother!"

Seeing that Lan Ying could not resist the barbaric girl, Youmeng winked at the nearby palace servants. They rushed up and worked together to pull Yan Ruoshan away. However, Yan Ruoshan was unwilling to give up and struggled desperately, and wanted to go up and tear up Lan Ying Zihan.

At this time, the queen spoke: "This is the palace. If you want to be crazy and make trouble, please stop me."

Everyone was so trance that they were so overwhelmed. The atmosphere condensed for a moment. Yan Ruoshan came back to her senses and changed directions as if she was enlightened. She fell to the queen and kowtowed and cried bitterly: "Empress! My mother died here for no reason... You are the mother of the country, so you must make the decision for your ministers and daughters!...Woooooooo..."

The queen glanced at her and said blankly: "Yan Xiunv is so sad, you must know how to be polite and follow the changes."

Seeing the situation, Concubine Min stepped forward quickly and helped Yan Ruoshan up: "Get up quickly, poor child."

Concubine Min understood the situation. When the queen encountered such a thing at her son's concubine selection banquet, she must be very upset. The women's noise and crying would only make her even more trouble.

"Come on your tears quickly." Concubine Min wiped Yan Ruoshan's tears with a handkerchief, making her kind and gentle. While she persuaded Yan Ruoshan seriously, she secretly went to see the queen, Zi Han and Lan Ying, "Don't worry, the queen is fair and selfless. She will definitely be fair for you mother and daughter, and will not let those evil people go."

Youmeng looked at her pretending quietly, and sneered in her heart.

After being put on a high hat by Concubine Min, the queen naturally wanted to make a gesture. She stared at Zi Han with sharp eyes: "Murong, you dare to commit crimes in the palace, you are so arrogant!"

Zi Han immediately knelt down and argued: "Empress, my wife did not kill anyone, but my wife was wronged!"

Concubine Min sneered: "I am wronged? But I remember that on August 16th, when you entered the palace to attend the banquet, you had a quarrel with Mrs. Yan, and many people saw it here."

With the suggestion of Concubine Min, a commotion broke out among the noble ladies and celebrities who came to watch.

"So you have the motive to kill!" Suddenly, Concubine Min slowed down her words and looked at Zi Han very much, her eyes full of mockery, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Shangguan was so narrow-minded and as narrow-minded as a snake and a scorpion!"

"My wife has had a marriage with Mrs. Yan, but she doesn't kill people for this quarrel! Besides, this is still in the palace. Will the wife be so stupid that she doesn't even want her life?" Zi Han looked at Concubine Min and made a fuss. She suddenly became angry and swallowed, "Even if the wife wants her life, she must not let the entire Shangguan family pay for it!"

Lan Ying felt a little worried when she heard this.

Concubine Min calmly said: "Maybe you and Mrs. Yan meet here, and they start to argue again when they disagree. As they arguing, you are angry and kill the person."

Zi Han was choked and could not speak any refutation. Seeing this, Lan Ying quickly knelt down, kowtowed deeply to the queen, and stood up and begged: "Empress, my aunt will not kill people. There must be a misunderstanding here! My aunt is kind-hearted and has a proper attitude in doing things. I beg the queen to ask about this matter clearly before deciding. Don't wrongly accuse the good people..."

The queen was dissatisfied with Lan Ying, so she took away her gaze indifferently, and did not respond. Concubine Min saw the opportunity and gave her the eunuch in charge, Wang Qingli. Wang Qingli understood it and approached the queen, bowed and said, "Report to the Queen, I have physical evidence to submit to you for your attention!"

As he said that, he took a white coarse cloth from his apprentice and held it in both hands. There was an emerald hairpin on it, stained with mottled blood, and the white cloth was stained with blood.

The queen showed suspicion, and Wang Qingli continued: "Just now, the slave was ordered to bring people to find Mrs. Yan. When he found this, he saw that Mrs. Yan had died at the feet of Mrs. Shangguan, and the ground was covered with blood! Oh, that was so terrible..."

When Yan Ruoshan heard this, she couldn't help but start to cry.

Wang Qingli raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the queen: "At that time, Mrs. Shangguan was holding this jade hairpin in her hand. The slaves took it off before she could even decide. They just went up and compared it with Mrs. Yan's neck, and the wounds were exactly the same."

Lan Ying was shocked. Her aunt didn't have many ornaments, but the jade hairpin was very popular and she would wear it on important occasions.

The queen looked at Zi Han coldly: "The murder weapon was discovered from you. It was not yours, but who killed it!"

Zi Han couldn't argue: "Please believe in the wife, that jade hairpin was accidentally lost today..."

As soon as Concubine Min heard this, she raised the corner of her mouth mockingly.

"My wife doesn't know why it appeared here, and why..." Zi Han couldn't help but turn her eyes and look at Lu's body, "It became the weapon to stab Mrs. Yan to death..."

Her mind was also in chaos, and the whole thing was complicated and she couldn't figure it out clearly. How could others see it clearly?

The queen looked at the Shangguan family with one big and one small, without any mercy: "Do you think I will believe it if I fabricate such a clumsy reason?"

"Empress, do you think how clean the clothes Mrs. Shangguan wears?"

Suddenly, a sound that had not appeared for a long time attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked up and saw Youmeng slowly walking to the rockery where Lu's first discovered, calm and leisurely as if he was walking.

Youmeng Tanshou looked at the dried blood on the stone, and then looked at the situation where Lu's clothes were splashed with blood. He turned around and smiled confidently: "Mrs. Yan was stabbed in the neck, and shed so much blood. If Mrs. Shangguan really committed the crime, how could she not have any blood stains?"

When she mentioned this, everyone, including the queen, looked at Zi Han's clothes. It was indeed bloodless. They could not explain this strange phenomenon, so they naturally felt that what Youmeng said was reasonable.

Youmeng looked at the queen and smiled: "There must be many strange things in this matter, and it may not be like the scene we see in front of us. The queen should not rush to convict Mrs. Shangguan first, right?"

The queen narrowed her eyes and looked at the girl coldly. Facing a bloody corpse, she could have been so calm and calm about her talk, and she was very keen.

The queen curled her lips gracefully, and her phoenix eyes were full of sharpness: "Is the little princess teaching me how to deal with palace affairs?"

Youmeng nodded slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "The Empress and the Mother of the World, and the Son of the People dare not overthrow the enemy."

The queen hummed contemptuously, "The certified physical evidence is there, and Murong's suspicion is the most. I don't want to waste time anymore." As she said that, she held her head proudly, "Come here, take Murong into the Criminal Office and interrogate carefully, see if she is going to do it?"

Just as Lan Ying was panicked and worried, she suddenly heard a noble and elegant female voice coming from afar: "How can such a serious murder be handed over to the Criminal Office?"

Everyone looked over in unison. The late arrival of Concubine Saki was supported by the palace maid and walked over with all manners.

Lan Ying suddenly broke a ray of light in her heart, thinking that the imperial concubine must have come to save her aunt this time.

The queen raised her eyebrows, unable to hide her disgust, but she had to pretend to be a little polite: "What are the opinions of the concubine sister?"

"Empress." Concubine Saki nodded, raised her gentle and beautiful eyes, and looked at her calmly, "Although this case happened in the harem, the deceased and the suspect were both officials. The case involved two important officials of the court, which far exceeded the power and responsibility of the harem. I believe that the person should be sent directly to the Ministry of Justice and waited for the defeat."

The queen was stunned. Seeing that Concubine Saki's eyes became sharper, Concubine Min was too. They didn't expect Concubine Saki would have such a suggestion. She thought she was coming out to protect Murong Zihan, but now it seems that she is taking advantage of the situation?

Lan Ying's heart skipped a beat, and now she was even more panicked. What does it mean to raise the case to the Ministry of Justice? It means that the crime is so serious that it is unimaginable that her aunt may be executed, and the Shangguan family will also be convicted of it!

Youmeng stood aside and secretly observed her mother's mother. She was as confused as they were, but after all, she was a mother and daughter, and she had a good understanding. Soon she figured it out and her eyebrows squirmed and stretched.

Lan Ying's eyes suddenly turned red and she swallowed even more: "Empress Concubine, the matter has not been found out yet. How can I conclude that my aunt is the murderer? She shouldn't have been imprisoned..."

Concubine Saki raised her palm slightly and signaled that she didn't need to continue talking.

The queen thought that Concubine Saki could not save Lan Ying, so she treated her as a abandoned son, and couldn't help but feel proud: "Since the Concubine has already understood the pros and cons of it, what are you waiting for?"

Under her instructions, a team of guards rushed up to hold Zi Han.

"Aunt..." Lan Ying cried anxiously.

Zi Han used her last chance to hold Lan Ying's hand tightly: "Lan Ying, you have to believe in your aunt, your aunt is innocent! Your aunt did not kill anyone!"

Lan Ying nodded and burst into tears: "I believe in your aunt! You will definitely be fine!"

Both hands were forced torn apart by pulling force, Lan Ying was thrown back with force, and staggered. Fortunately, Youmeng handed her arms over at the right time, and then stabilized her.

Zi Han was taken away by the guards. Lan Ying couldn't bear it and cried to the far away team. Youmeng stopped her and refused to chase her.

The show finally came to an end. The queen felt that she was being troubled and her whole day was ruined.

Lan Ying sobbed in Youmeng's arms, looking pitiful. The queen looked really disgusted and threw her coldly: "Fare Star, I really know how to choose the days."

Everyone who was close to him heard it. Lan Ying was both ashamed and sad. She held back her breathing and did not dare to make a sound because of sobs. Youmeng seemed dull, but there was a hidden undercurrent undercurrent, squeezing a sense of bitter hatred.

The queen left first, and Concubine Min followed her. The other noble ladies and socialites did not dare to stay for more, and they all scattered like birds and beasts.

In the end, even Lu's body was carried away, and only Concubine Saki, Youmeng and Lan Ying were left by the lake.

"Let her enlighten her."

Concubine Saki's words were given to Youmeng, and she didn't show too much emotion.

When she was about to leave, Lan Ying chased forward and cried and said, "Imperial Concubine, please save my aunt..."

Concubine Saki stopped and looked indifferent and refused to look back: "The good guy will have a heavenly appearance. If this is really her disaster, no one can save her."

She stopped when she clicked and left coldly.

"Empress Concubine! Empress..."

Lan Ying wanted to chase her again, but Youmeng grabbed her: "Lan Ying, calm down. This case is indeed too serious, and it is useless to be anxious."

Lan Ying burst into tears and felt extremely heartbroken: "The Shangguan family is in trouble. At this time, how could the imperial concubine stand by and let my aunt suffer an unjust injustice..."

"You blamed my mother for wrongly."

Lan Ying's eyes stagnated, and she looked up at Youmeng in surprise. Youmeng said calmly: "Think about it carefully, if your aunt really falls into the Criminal Office just now, she will be the palace affairs in the harem, and the queen has the final say. She believes that your aunt is the murderer and will definitely not be ruthless. She will only scold your aunt in a harem. My mother cannot interfere. So who else can clear your aunt's innocence?"
