Chapter 88 A Murder Case in the Palace Pond
Chapter 88 A murder occurred in the palace pond
"What? Meeting your queen mother?" When Su Xuan heard this, she instinctively took a step back, then shook her head and said, "No, this is not appropriate!"
"She is our queen mother. You must go and see her. Otherwise, how can I get her to speak for you in front of my father, so that your replacement of Chi Rui as county magistrate will not be affected?" Prince Liang said seriously.
For him, protecting Su Xuan is his responsibility, so no matter what, he must place Su Xuan in the safest position.
You must know that Su Xuan has the identity of Princess Liang, and since she, Prince Liang, is also the officer in charge of the prison, it is also her duty for his wife to participate in the investigation of criminal cases. After replacing Chi Rui in charge of Jinshan County
Regarding the matter, I believe no one will say anything more. After all, among the prison officers, there is no one higher than him, and everyone else has to look at his eyes to do things.
In order to achieve this goal, he must make his mother recognize Su Xuan and admit that Su Xuan is a very good daughter-in-law. Only by gaining the mother's approval can Su Xuan's position as princess become more secure.
"No, I don't understand the rules. I don't know what to say when I see your mother in the palace. If this doesn't go well, won't it cause trouble for you?" Su Xuan refused, standing in front of her.
, the person who died in the criminal case was able to cope with it easily, but if she faced an old lady with power, she really didn't know how to deal with it.
"You are the princess and her daughter-in-law. This stinky daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law, not to mention you are not ugly, right?" Prince Liang looked at Su Xuan and said, as if he had no intention of discussing it and had to force her.
This trip is not possible.
"Why are you talking nonsense like this? I have become your princess and I have to meet my parents-in-law?" Su Xuan immediately protested, as if she did not accept this statement.
"It's up to you whether you are willing or not, otherwise I and the 1,800 people in the palace will be buried together because of your refusal to admit it!" King Liang knew that Su Xuan was soft-spoken rather than tough, so he caught Su Xuan.
Weakness, he immediately said to Su Xuan.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, why would you go there!" Su Xuan had no choice but to be pinched by Li Minghao again, but she immediately added, "But I have something to say first, if I don't
Please don't blame me if I make your mother unhappy!"
"Don't worry, the queen mother is very easy to get along with!" Prince Liang said to Su Xuan immediately, then turned to Dao Lu Captou beside him and said, "When you enter the palace, just follow the princess with the little mirror, and everyone else will stay behind.
Look after your family in Qinglu Pavilion. With me in the palace, nothing will happen."
"Yes!" Captain Lu and Captain Ling responded immediately, understanding what King Liang meant. They must not cause any trouble to Su Xuan for the time being.
After explaining this, King Liang dragged Su Xuan out of the palace, got on the python dragon sedan that had been prepared, and headed towards the palace.
When they arrived at the palace, King Liang originally wanted to go with Su Xuan to see the queen. However, a young eunuch blocked the way and told King Liang that the emperor invited him to gather in the imperial garden. King Liang could not refuse and had to say to Su Xuan.
: "The Queen Mother lives in Kunning Palace. You can go there along the corridor. I won't be able to accompany you!"
"Go and do your work, I can find it!" Su Xuan was naturally embarrassed to delay King Liang, so she immediately said this to King Liang and asked him to leave first.
King Liang was also helpless and could only leave first. He hoped that the emperor would not waste too much time and he could rush back to accompany Su Xuan. So he said goodbye to Su Xuan and walked towards another corridor.
passed.
"Miss, this is my first time coming to the palace. I am very confused about the direction. I may not be able to find Kunning Palace. Are you sure it will be just the two of us?" Xiaojing was a little worried.
You must know that there are corridors and courtyards everywhere in the palace, and they can get lost if they wander around a few times. It would be fine if someone leads the way, but now they are the only two people who are not familiar with each other. She really can't guarantee that they will get lost here.
It's impossible to get lost in such a large palace.
"Don't worry, didn't His Highness Prince Liang say that we just need to walk towards the full direction!" Su Xuan is a road idiot, and her sense of direction is probably worse than that of a small mirror, but she dare not say it.
I don't know the direction myself, so as not to make the small mirror even less confident.
So she said and walked towards the front. Of course, Xiao Jing knew about Su Xuan's situation and could only follow Su Xuan closely without any delay.
Just when they passed by a yard, they found a pair of embroidered shoes by the pond, but no one was around. The strange silence made Su Xuan feel that something was wrong.
"Something happened, call someone quickly!" Su Xuan realized something was wrong and immediately said to the small mirror beside her. It could be seen that she had already realized that people's lives depend on the fate of heaven, so she did not dare to waste any time and quickly called for help.
.
"Come here, help!" The little mirror also saw the pair of embroidered shoes. When he heard Su Xuan's words, he was more sure of his worries and judgments, and immediately shouted loudly to the surroundings.
After all, this was a palace, and even in a quiet place, there would be patrolling guards and eunuchs on duty. All of a sudden, the eunuchs and guards rushed to the edge of the pond.
When he saw Su Xuan and the others, the guard commander immediately asked Su Xuan, "What happened?"
"Someone fell into the water!" Su Xuan immediately pointed to the scattered pair of embroidered shoes and said to the guard commander.
"Jin Fei!" When the guard commander saw the pair of embroidered shoes, he recognized who they belonged to at a glance, so he didn't dare to delay. After saying this, he immediately called the guards around him to get into the water.
The guards didn't dare to waste time, so they jumped into the water and started fishing in the pond. After a while, the two guards found a woman. They saw the woman's feet rising out of the water first.
water surface.
But the moment this woman came out of the water, Su Xuan felt even more surprised, because this woman was wearing a pair of darker embroidered shoes.
It can be seen that the pair of embroidered shoes on the edge of the pond should not belong to this woman, so why do these pairs of embroidered shoes appear here in the pond? What is the connection between the owner of the embroidered shoes and the woman in the pond?
This was like a huge mystery, filling Su Xuan's mind and making her think a lot.
The embroidered shoes are scattered, there are no people around, but there is a pond in front of you. All of these are reminiscent of someone falling into the pond. Is this done intentionally or is it an accident?
And what is the identity of the woman in the pond? Since the pair of shoes on the shore do not belong to this woman, this woman cannot be the concubine Jin mentioned by the guard commander.
