Chapter 40 The princess who died in the secret room (5)
After watching Sun Zhao leave, Meng Hui frowned and stood in the corridor, letting the hot wind blow on his face, silently chewing on the prince's words and deeds in his heart.
If you think about it carefully, his performance was perfect.
Sun Zhao showed obvious grief and anger about the murder of his sister;
He said that he believed in the current situation of the murderer and only two suspects, and he was rational and restrained, and did not easily doubt any one. He repeatedly said that he believed in the emperor and the empress, and believed that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice would definitely find out the truth;
He did not show any impatience to Liang Fei's madness. He was helpless and sad. He came to visit him in person almost every day, speaking with Liang Fei who was crazy and talking, fulfilling his responsibilities as a son.
However, Meng Hui felt chill when he thought of the death of the young prince more than ten years ago.
If Sun Zhao had the intention of killing the person who offended him at the age of five, and had the ability to act, then this person would be too scary and would definitely not be considered real in appearance.
Moreover, Sun Zhao's special instructions when he left seemed a bit strange. Even if he didn't do anything, Meng Hui would be half-believing and half-doubting about the crazy words Liang Fei said. After he said this, it made people feel that Liang Fei knew something...
Meng Hui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the direction where Sun Zhao left. There were only the shadows of the palace, which looked a little cunning.
There was really no simple person in this palace. Meng Hui sighed in his heart, and based on the principle of doubting everything, he kept the crazy Liangfei in his small notebook in his heart. As for Sun Zhao, he drew a red circle.
"Is the princess here to send the third prince? Why are she still standing here? Come in and sit and rest." Fangqing, who was sent to find Sun Yian, held a food box in her hand and turned it out of nowhere.
While she was greeting Meng Hui, she raised the food box and explained softly: "This is the empress's medicine. The imperial doctor said that once the empress's mood fluctuates, she should drink it as soon as possible, which is somewhat helpful to the condition."
The medicine smells very pungent and smells bitter. It is a big dark bowl that looks a bit sticky.
"When did my aunt start...distance?" Meng Hui touched the temperature of the medicine bowl with his hand, and asked with concern, trying to be more in line with the original owner's personality and behavior.
Seeing that she looked concerned, Fangqing replied without any concealment: "The Empress broke into the inner hall of Changning Palace on the day of the incident. We couldn't stop her. When she saw the princess lying in a pool of blood, she looked a little wrong. She muttered something but couldn't tell what she was saying."
Fangqing paused, and then said, "The inner palace is covered with blood. The empress has always loved the princess. She naturally can't bear the feeling when she sees this scene."
There were bolts inside and outside the hall, so the outside was of course easy to open. In order to break through the wooden bolt inside, the maid next to Liangfei used all her strength. Fangqing was right next to him and entered the inner hall with Liangfei.
"At that time, we all thought the princess committed suicide. After all, she was the only one in the hall and there was no sign of damage to the window. In addition, there was news recently that the emperor wanted the princess to go to Ulan to marry her. The princess privately begged the emperor several times, but it seemed that there was no result."
"The princess is in a bad mood and often stays in the inner hall and cannot even eat. She can't even eat. Seeing that she is getting thinner and thinner, we Empress and the Third Prince have both persuaded her, but no one can persuade her."
Meng Hui did not expect that Sun Yian would face marriage before his death. Many dynasties had princesses or princesses who died. Once they were involved in such a thing, it would be useless to be favored by the emperor.
This matter should not have spread in the circle of officials. At least Sun Youyi did not hear the news. The previous dynasty would have to be spread to the harem and the backyards of various prefectures. After all, it would still take some time.
When Meng Hui saw Fangqing want to tell her, he quickly asked, "What happened later? How did he make sure that Sister Pingyang did not commit suicide?"
"It was the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice who came here and found out that the princess was beings..." Fangqing bit her lip, her eyes were unbearable, and she breathed a sigh of relief before continuing, "She was stabbed from behind her. It was impossible for her to commit suicide!"
It is difficult for a person to pick up a sharp weapon, and he stabs it hard into his heart with his backhand. At least Sun Yian, who has never practiced acrobatics, cannot do it. However, the secret room is completely closed, the door is locked, the windows are not broken, and the roof cannot be accessed, so it is impossible for someone to enter and exit.
"And if the princess commits suicide, who will tie the door outside?" Fangqing snorted coldly and said, "It must be someone who wants to close the princess and prevent her from coming out! Otherwise, why lock the door outside?"
Meng Hui felt it was reasonable after hearing this, but she still couldn't figure out how the murderer committed the crime. She suddenly remembered that there were two suspects now. "By the way, I heard that the eldest prince's concubine and Yupin are being tried now? What's the situation?"
"Now, their suspicion is the greatest." Fangqing stopped and asked the maids to retreat. When talking about the eldest prince's concubine and Yupin, there was obvious disgust in his expression.
"According to the investigation of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, the eldest princess is the last person the princess has ever seen before. Princess, you know that she and the princess have never dealt with each other. The two had a dispute over the marriage some time ago, and finally went to the queen's place."
Meng Hui asked: "Because of a marriage dispute? Even the eldest prince is not qualified to speak for such a major event. Where is the turn of the eldest prince's concubine worried about it?" Sun Youyi had a special identity. He had to be mean in words and could not be kind to the two parties of the eldest prince and the seventh prince.
Seeing that she was still speaking from her own perspective, Fangqing agreed, "It was not the turn, but it couldn't resist her being active."
Since the eldest prince's concubine found out about the news of marriage, she began to frequently go to her parents' home, instigating her family to submit a memorial and ask the emperor to decide the matter. The court officials who held this intention were originally the majority, and all parties made another effort. Sun Yi'an's marriage to the Ulan Kingdom was basically a foregone conclusion.
"On the morning when the princess had an accident, she went to Changning Palace with great might. The princess quit everyone and talked to her alone. As for whether the two quarreled or not, what they said, now she can only listen to the words of the eldest prince and the princess!"
"When the eldest prince's concubine left, she also told the maids outside that the princess was angry and did not want to see anyone, so she asked them to retreat a little further."
When Sun Yian was in a bad mood, she never got angry at the waiters around her. She usually stayed alone in the inner hall without seeing anyone. The eldest prince's concubine conveyed her orders, and the maids didn't think much about it at all.
"Although the princess is often stuck in the inner hall and never comes out, don't you think it's too strange to let the eldest princess speak? Who knows if the eldest princess said it on purpose!"
