Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Xie Jin caught the real murderer who killed the queen, and everyone present was shocked.

When Emperor Xia Ming saw that the murderer that Xianying was holding was Xiang Fei's personal maid, he asked uncertainly:

"Prince Rong, is she the murderer you are talking about?"

Xie Jin said: "Yes, when the murderer killed the queen and stabbed Nanny Yuan, there was blood splatter on the ground. I guess the murderer's nightgown must have been stained with blood.

Previously, I ordered a thorough search of all palaces, and found a package in a dry well in the backyard of Jiangzi Pavilion. It was hidden in the depression below the wellhead. I sent people to monitor it secretly, and Commander Xian cooperated, and saw with his own eyes that Ji Shu went to the dry well to take out the package.

The package contained not only a bloodstained nightgown, but also a human skin mask made to resemble Feng Qingluan's face, proving that the murderer was Ji Shu, who pretended to be Feng Qingluan and went to the Queen's palace to kill her."

After Xie Jin finished speaking, Xian Ying also said:

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness Prince Rong said is true. I saw it with my own eyes. Ji Shu sneaked to the dry well to take out the package and tried to leave, but was stopped by me and His Royal Highness Prince Rong."

The evidence was conclusive and Ji Shu had no way to argue. She remained silent and stared at Xie Jin with hatred.

Things suddenly changed. Concubine Ru rolled her eyes and questioned Concubine Xiang before Emperor Xia Ming could speak:

"Xiang Fei, Ji Shu was your personal maid. Did you instruct her to kill the queen? No wonder all the concubines were injured when the Qingliang Terrace collapsed, and the queen was also seriously injured, but you on the stage were the only ones who were safe and sound.

You failed to kill the Queen in the Qingliang Terrace incident, so you came up with a plan to poison the Queen's medicine, and also involved me and Feng Qingluan. Seeing that the Queen was rescued by Feng Qingluan in time, you couldn't tolerate it, so you asked your maid to pretend to be Feng Qingluan to kill the Queen, and deliberately left Madam Yuan as a witness to see her appearance, so as to put the blame on Feng Qingluan! All of this was planned by you long ago, Xiang Fei, you are too calculating and too vicious!"

In a short period of time, Concubine Ru linked together all the things that had happened to the Queen, and formed a self-consistent statement with clear articulation and logic, accusing Xiang Fei of the serious crime of murdering the mother of a country.

After listening to her, Feng Qingluan couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in her heart.

She is worthy of being Concubine Ru. She has been able to fight with the Queen in the palace for so many years. Her IQ and logic are not to be underestimated. Ji Shu is just a palace maid. No one will believe it if it is proved that she killed the Queen without anyone's instructions.

The murderer's master was Xiang Fei. Since she killed the Queen, Xiang Fei was naturally suspected as well.

Concubine Ru said a lot of things that were not in her favor. Concubine Xiang showed fear and grievance on her face. She walked to Emperor Xia Ming and knelt down, crying:

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I did not instruct Ji Shu to kill the Queen. From the time I entered the palace until now, the Queen has always been kind to me. I am grateful to her and I have no grudges against her. How could I send someone to kill her?"

She cried so pitifully, with tears streaming down her little face.

Emperor Xia Ming felt distressed, but the murderer of the queen was found to be Xiang Fei's personal maid. Ru Fei's words made sense. He hesitated and said coldly:

"Don't worry, my dear concubine. This matter is of great importance. I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and will never wrongly accuse you!"

He looked at Ji Shu who was being held captive:

"Who ordered you to kill the queen? Tell the truth! If you dare to lie even a word, I will kill you immediately!"

Xiang Fei wiped her tears and glanced at Ji Shu out of the corner of her eye.

Ji Shu knew that she was caught and it was almost impossible to escape from here.

Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well drag someone with him to die with him. She looked coldly at Concubine Ru opposite her and said loudly:

"My Lady, I don't want to die. Please save me."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xia Ming's face turned extremely ugly, and he suddenly turned back to look at Concubine Ru:

"Ru Fei, did you instruct him?"

Ru Fei was startled and quickly came out and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, Ji Shu is slandering me. She is from Xiang Fei's palace. How could I possibly order her to kill the queen? She is trying to protect Xiang Fei and put the blame on me."

Ji Shu said, "My lady, what can you still say at this point? You have been fighting with the Queen for many years and have a deep grudge against her. Now there is another concubine in the palace who is even more favored by His Majesty. You are jealous and resentful, and you bribed the servants to betray their master, kill the Queen, and hide the evidence in the Crimson Purple Pavilion to frame Concubine Xiang.

You did this to frame Feng Qingluan. The previous incident between Feng Qingluan and the King of Chu made you hate her to the core. You thought of a plan to kill three birds with one stone, to kill the Queen, to frame Xiang Fei, and to get rid of Feng Qingluan. I risked my life to help you do this. Now that the truth has been revealed, only the Queen can save me. I don't want to die, so I beg the Queen to save me."

Ji Shu cried and sobbed, making the matter more confusing.

Emperor Xia Ming felt that what she said made sense, so he directed his attack at Concubine Ru:

"I knew that you and the Queen were at odds, but I never thought you would hire someone to kill someone? And you even want to put the blame on Xiang Fei. Ru Fei, you said others were vicious, but it turns out that you are the one who is cruel and ruthless!"

Faced with the emperor's suspicion of her because of Ji Shu's words, Concubine Ru was sad and angry.

"Your Majesty, when Qingliang Terrace collapsed, I and Zhaoyang were both on the terrace. If I wanted to kill the queen, wouldn't that put both myself and Zhaoyang in danger? Isn't that a contradiction? And all of this only makes sense if it was ordered by Xiang Fei, Your Majesty."

Concubine Ru was heartbroken as Ji Shu was blaming her. She absolutely could not take the blame for this matter.

Killing the queen is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan. Once she is convicted, there will be no chance for Zhaoyang and the King of Chu to turn things around!

Emperor Xia Ming had just woken up from a coma and had little energy to begin with. He learned that Feng Qingluan had escaped from prison, and then he caught the murderer of the Queen. He had to figure out who was telling the truth between Concubine Ru, Ji Shu, and Concubine Xiang. All his energy was almost exhausted.

Seeing that both parties had almost finished talking, Feng Qingluan said slowly:

"Your Majesty, who ordered Ji Shu to kill the Queen? I'm afraid we can only know after His Royal Highness Prince Rong interrogates her. However, there is one thing. When the Queen was poisoned, the maids in Chengguang Palace said that they saw Concubine Ru's first-class maid Lu Zhu appear in the Imperial Medical Bureau. I did not call Lu Zhu out, and Lu Zhu also denied going to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Ji Shu can disguise herself, and the person who poisoned the Queen's medicine furnace was probably her. This shows that Concubine Ru was involved in the Queen's poisoning case. If Concubine Ru really killed the Queen, why did she let Ji Shu pretend to be Lu Zhu and go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to add suspicion to herself? It's really unnecessary. "

She wondered if Emperor Xia Ming would understand what she said.

Ru Fei looked at Feng Qingluan gratefully and added:

"Yes, Your Majesty, whether it was the Qingliang Terrace or the Queen's poisoning, I was implicated, but Xiang Fei stayed out of these two things. It is clear who harmed whom and who they wanted to frame. Your Majesty, please look into it!"

Each of them had his own words, and it was difficult to distinguish them. Emperor Xia Ming said to Xie Jin:

"Take Ji Shu away for interrogation. We must find out who ordered this!"

He rubbed his temples with a headache, his body could no longer support him, and he was sent back to the palace to rest.

Xiang Fei followed him out and secretly glanced at Feng Qingluan before leaving.

Her appearance here means that Prince Jing's plan to kill Feng Qingluan has failed, and Prince Rong has captured Ji Shu. She has to find a way to plan what to do next as soon as possible.

Don't let Ji Shu give yourself away!
