My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

The old woman followed Xiao Jian to the Bachelor's Mansion.

at this time.

The Emperor, Empress, and Concubine Ling were coming out of the guest room.

Xiao Jian hurriedly greeted them, "May the Emperor be blessed, the Empress be blessed, and Concubine Ling be blessed." He then glanced back at the old woman he had brought back, then back at the Emperor and the others, "Your Majesty, the old woman behind me just mentioned during interrogation that she had seen a suspicious person, so I brought her back for a detailed interrogation."

After hearing this, the emperor immediately looked at the queen and Concubine Ling, "Queen, Concubine Ling, let's go together."

in the hall.

The emperor sat in the upper seat.

The Empress and Concubine Ling sat on the left and right sides of the Emperor respectively.

Xiao Jian and the old woman stood respectfully in the middle.

The old woman looked at a loss at this moment.

She had lived for decades, but this was the first time she had seen the current emperor, the graceful and elegant empress, and... Concubine Ling.

She knelt on the ground tremblingly, "I, a humble woman... pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. I pay my respects to the Empress and Concubine Ling. May the Empress and Concubine Ling live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

The emperor looked seriously at the old woman kneeling on the ground.

Then he turned to look at Xiao Jian and said, "Xiao Jian, help her stand up."

"I thank the emperor."

The old woman stood up with Xiao Jian's help.

The emperor's gaze suddenly shifted to the old woman. "Tell me everything you saw. Don't hide anything. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

The old woman was so frightened when she heard the emperor's words that she fell to the ground.

The old woman said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Xiao Jian patted the old woman's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. Just tell the emperor what you saw."

The old woman swallowed nervously and then spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, last night I saw a man hurriedly leaving the alley behind my house. He kicked over my woven bamboo basket. At that time... I wanted to argue with him, but he pushed me to the ground... Your Majesty, this is what happened."

After the emperor listened to what the old woman said.

Suddenly frowned.

Such a confession is equivalent to saying nothing.

The emperor was extremely anxious and kept rubbing his hands back and forth.

But at this time.

The queen stood up from her seat and looked at the old woman and asked, "Think carefully about whether you have seen the man's appearance clearly."

"Yes, that's right." Concubine Ling agreed, "Think about it carefully. Is there anything about that person that left a deep impression on you, such as... such as a scar?"

The old woman scratched her head and recalled.

But...but after thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of anything.

The old woman bit her lip and then shook her head and replied, "I deserve to die. I really can't remember it."

The emperor saw that the old woman could not remember anything.

Just when I was about to get angry.

Concubine Ling immediately stepped forward and took the emperor's arm.

She looked at the emperor and gently stroked his chest, comforting him, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. This woman is so old, it's normal for her not to remember. Moreover, she had no idea what had happened at the time, so she didn't pay attention to the man's appearance and features. This is also to be expected."

The emperor was extremely angry at this moment.

But I think Concubine Ling is not wrong.

He paced anxiously up and down the hall.

The old woman suddenly spoke up, "In reply to the emperor, I suddenly remembered that man...that man had six fingers on his right hand."

"Six fingers?"

Xiao Jian was shocked when he heard the old woman's words. "Your Majesty, this clue is very important. We just need to use this clue as a basis to bring in all the people with six fingers on their right hands in Beijing and investigate them one by one."

The emperor nodded and immediately agreed to Xiao Jian's suggestion.

I would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go.

But at this time.

Lin Siming ran in from outside and just heard what Xiao Jian said.

He looked at Xiao Jian in a panic and said, "Commander Xiao, I have already taken care of everything you instructed me to do with my brothers."
