Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 462: The real murderer behind the scenes

Yunshang raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, then turned her head to look at the crowd, "Can you smell a fragrance?" Before they could answer, Yunshang had already put down the oil lamp in her hand and smiled Laughing, he said: "It's this fragrance that almost made Hui Zhaoyi's child disappear."

As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, Luo Qingyan was the first to react. Luo Qingyan hurried to Yun Shang and threw the tables, chairs and screen out of the hall.

"What's so unusual about this scent?" The queen said lightly, with some doubts in her eyes.

Yunshang smiled, and said softly: "The furniture that has just been made, in order to prevent moths or cracks, will brush a layer of tung oil on the surface. Tung oil has a very strong smell, and it smells a lot , it is also harmful to the human body but not beneficial to the human body, especially for pregnant women. And those things just now were sent to Hui Zhaoyi's dormitory not long after they were newly made, and the smell of tung oil had not dissipated. In order to cover up the strong smell of tung oil, I also added some lily fragrance. The lily flower looks very beautiful, and the fragrance is also fresh and elegant, but it will also cause fetal instability and even miscarriage. The combination of these two things, For the child in Hui Zhaoyi's womb, it would be fatal."

The queen frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "But just now you used fire to roast the table to emit that smell. Usually, Hui Zhaoyi should not be idle Let's bake those things."

"Qi Empress, it's winter now, and the brazier must be always burning in the hall, so the fragrance will be much stronger."

Yun Chang pondered for a moment before continuing:

"Actually, when Hui Zhaoyi's fetus was unstable last time, the minister's wife discovered the strangeness in these furniture and reported it to His Majesty. It's just that I didn't know who was responsible for it at the time. Your Majesty So I asked the courtiers to keep quiet so as not to scare the snakes. The courtiers thought of a way to pour a thick layer of candle oil on the furniture. After the wax oil cooled, it could prevent the smell from spreading. Just now the courtesan used What melted away in the fire was the wax that my wife let people drip on."

The queen frowned, as if a little displeased, but because Xia Huanyu was there, she couldn't get angry, so she just snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Xia Huanyu kept turning the jade wrench on his thumb, and looked towards Yunshang, "Today you asked someone to move these things out, but found the murderer?"

Yun Chang pondered for a while before answering: "Yes."

"Oh? Who is it?" Xia Huanyu's hand paused slightly, his gaze was like a torch, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Yun Shang was silent for a while, and then responded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the person who ordered people to make these furniture is Mrs. Xian."

Mrs. Xian has been sitting quietly at the side ever since Yunshang came out just now, without opening her mouth, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts, only when she heard Yunshang talking about her did she suddenly come back to her senses, Jumping up as if there was a needle on the chair, he roared in a sharp voice: "Nonsense! Your Majesty, Princess Rui is all talking nonsense, and they are all random guesses. It's not the concubine, the concubine is not. I did, Hui Zhaoyi's child was not killed by my concubine, and these things were not given by my concubine."

"Madam Xian!" The queen frowned, and said sharply, "Sit down, how decent is it to shout like that?"

Mrs. Xian was stunned when she heard the words, she seemed to have just realized that she seemed to have overreacted, bit her lip, her eyes were full of grievances, she twisted the brocade handkerchief and sat back, but her eyes were fixed on Yunshang.

"Oh? What evidence is there?" Xia Huanyu's face was very calm, as if he was not surprised at all.

Yun Shang smiled and said: "These furniture are the evidence. The concubine heard that Mrs. Xian's father, Mr. Wang Congwen, is the richest merchant in Jincheng, and he is an imperial merchant. Bought from Wang Ji. The wood used to make furniture for Hui Zhaoyi, and the tung oil used for brushing are all the same."

Madam Xian's expression became agitated again when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "Princess Rui, please don't rant, my father is an imperial merchant because the things he provides are of high quality, which are rare and good products. And my father is an imperial merchant so much For many years, there has never been a problem. Princess Rui must have hated our royal family because of the fact that my younger sister liked Prince Rui. Is it wrong for my younger sister to like Prince Rui? It’s fine if Prince Rui hurt my younger sister. Princess Rui is still like this now. like slander and blame."

Slandering and blaming, Yun Chang couldn't help laughing when she heard the words.

"Is it a slander? You might as well send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask about the craftsman who made the furniture. Since the minister's wife found out that there was something wrong with these things last time, she made His Majesty focus on those craftsmen. One of them is surnamed Qian." A craftsman, in recent days, a new house has been added to his family. The house is at the south gate, which is considered a relatively good location. The house costs about four hundred taels of silver. But he is the only one in the house surnamed Qian. It is worthy to be able to have some income. The distribution in the palace is no more than two taels of silver per month. Where does the money for buying the house come from? In order not to startle the snake, the minister's wife has never sent anyone to arrest the craftsman and his family. Now it is It can be arrested and interrogated carefully."

"How do I know?" Mrs. Xian's complexion was a little pale, even though it was winter, there was a thin layer of sweat oozing from her forehead.

If you don't reach the Yellow River, your heart will never die.

Yun Chang laughed, and said again: "Just now in the inner hall, I asked Hui Zhaoyi, who has come to see her these days. Presumably, Mrs. Xian is the one who comes the most frequently?"

Mrs. Xian did not answer with a blank face, and Yun Shang didn't think about getting any answers, but continued: "Mrs. Xian came the most frequently, especially after Hui Zhaoyi almost gave birth last time. She wanted to know , What are the effects of these things? Is Hui Zhaoyi using it? Is it discovered by me? Does Mrs. Xian feel that every time she looks into the inner hall from here and sees that the furniture is still placed in the bedroom Are you very at ease in your heart?"

Yun Shang sneered, and changed her tone abruptly: "But even seeing Hui Zhaoyi has been using these furniture, even if Hui Zhaoyi suddenly had an accident today, and the fetus in her womb is in danger, Mrs. Xian still feels very uncomfortable. Don't worry, I was afraid that the child in Hui Zhaoyi's womb would be too fatal, so I specially bought a drug boy named Mingcai in the imperial hospital. The mother of the drug boy worked as the mother-in-law at Mrs. Xian's father's house. When I ordered people to go to the Tai Hospital to get the medicine, you asked the medicine boy to add musk to the medicine."

Sweat dripped from Mrs. Xian's forehead quietly, the color on her face was gone, and the brocade handkerchief in her hand was also pinched into a ball, perhaps because of too much force, the rouge-dyed nails also broke.

"Madam Xian, am I right?" Yun Shang smiled coldly, looking straight at her. \u003c
