C29 Tattooing
Amidst the clamor, Xiao Yixiu also came out from next door. He glanced at the undressed Yue He, and his gaze landed on the bloodstains, and stared for a long time.
"Madam Yue said that the wounds were caused by the black jade. What does Your Highness think?"
"Your Highness, you must uphold justice for this humble one. This humble one is wrongly accused! I don't understand what happened! "
Xiao Yixiu lowered his eyelids, he was too lazy to talk with her, he only raised his chin towards Sui Feng, indicating him to explain.
"Madam Yue, Xin Ziyao was strangled to death by someone. When she died, she struggled, and her nails scratched a few wounds on the murderer's body, leaving behind some skin and flesh. Now, are you satisfied with your death? " Sui Feng laughed in disdain.
"No no, I was really scratched by the black jade!" "Picking mulberry trees!" Yue He suddenly thought of something, "Weren't you and Mei Er watching this from the side? Didn't you see the black jade catch me? "
Qin Caisang had already buttoned his clothes and came out. Hearing that, he said softly: "Sister Yue, when did I see you? Mel, did you see it? "
Mei Er shook her head. "I was with Madam at noon. I've never seen Mistress Yue before."
Yue He froze, and then suddenly shouted: "You're lying! "I was wrongly accused ?"
"This is a murder case, send it to the magistrate." Xiao Yixiu's voice seemed to be filled with regret, as she softly sighed, "I'm here to conduct an investigation at the justice courts."
"Your Highness, this is Zai Sang framing me!" The cry of the moon gradually faded, mixed with the sound of weeping.
"Tch!" Luo Yun's low voice was mixed within the crowd. What kind of people were these wives on the Prince Mo's Mansion, each of them scum, pitiful that her Prince Mo had to face them all day long.
The crowd dispersed, and only Xiao Yixiu remained where he was. He raised his tail and swept it towards Gu Qingli.
"Princess, why aren't you leaving? What are you waiting for?"
"What is the prince waiting for?"
Xiao Yixiu looked at her for a long time before saying: "Are you waiting for Black Jade?"
Gu Qingli was greatly surprised. He could actually see through it again, had deliberately allowed her to identify the crescent moon!
"I am planning to go to Miss Li Yue's place to see if she has returned." She started to walk, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her closer.
His face was very close to hers, and his breath was soft and steady on her face. His soft voice seemed to mock her: "You are still too tender to show off your wisdom in this king's eyes. The claw marks are sharp, but the claw marks are wide and uneven."
Gu Qingli swung with force and in the end, he was still powerless, but she still threw him off. He laughed coldly: "Since you saw that Yue Gelou was wrongly accused, why didn't you clarify for her? You want to send her to the court? Are you trying to go with the flow and use me to get rid of her? At the end of the day, there should be a problem with your wives, right? "
He didn't expect her to be so direct. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Including you, Consort Wang, don't all of you have the same goal?"
Gu Qingli was startled, then suddenly realised that it was no wonder that he was rude to her from the very beginning, full of hostility! This was because the one who had proposed the marriage was the Emperor. He believed that all the women around him came from all sorts of powers within the palace to monitor his actions and words!
She carefully searched her original body's memory to make sure she hadn't accepted any task of monitoring him. She snorted. "You think too highly of yourself. I have no interest in your matters!"
He didn't know if he believed her words, but as if by accident, he asked, "Who's next?"
A fresh rose tattoo had flashed across Gu Qingli's mind at the time of the examination. This woman's reaction was quite fast. She had thought of a countermeasure in such a short period of time. She had indeed been ruthless enough to draw a flower for herself to cover herself!
With that needle and the hemostatic, you think it's flawless? Of course not! Even if the tattoos could cover up the scratches, the red and swelling of the surrounding skin after acupuncture was not so easy to dispel. Even if she applied ice on it, there were still some traces left behind.
She probably killed Xin Ziyao because she was afraid that Xin Ziyao would plead with him and reveal their identities? Or perhaps, they were afraid that Xin Ziyao would go in front of the empress and drag them down with him in order to lessen their punishment.
"Meow!" Black jade appeared without a sound.
She bent down to pick up the black jade and carefully examined its claws. Sure enough, clothes and fibers were added to the claws that had previously removed the few silk threads. After careful examination, there were indeed remnants of blood.
Yue Gelou didn't lie, the black jade suddenly going crazy and trying to capture her. It must be Qin Caisang's instructions, for that woman to be able to better understand the black jade's habits and make her her her scapegoat!
"In your manor, it's not even easy to be a cat. You've been used by others three times!" After Gu Qingli finished taunting and ridiculing him, he made a decision to not tell him the following clues.
He didn't want to deal with these madams personally, yet he wanted to fake her. Why did she have to repeat what he wanted her to do? If he had the ability, let him investigate it himself!
She picked up the cat and smiled sweetly at him. "Your highness, do you want to know who's next? Look it up yourself slowly. Please forgive this wangfei for not playing with you."
Looking at Gu Qingli's retreating back, Xiao Yixiu felt a moment of anger, but in the blink of an eye, it faded away. He didn't even realize that a smile had appeared on his face.
What had happened recently that he'd actually become more and more tolerant of this rebellious wangfei, allowing her to clash with him repeatedly?
Killing to pay with one's life, even the wife of the Duke's Mansion was no exception.
Xin Ziyao's body was sent to the Supreme Court for autopsy. Yue Li was interrogated and found guilty of murder, so she was quickly escorted to the prison grounds for execution.
From this, Gu Qingli determined that Xiao Yixiu's men should be in the Supreme Court.
The fact that the case could be solved so quickly was unreasonable. Furthermore, the case would be executed immediately, and the Empress would not even have time to react to it as she fished out the Yue Gu. It seems like the power that was hiding in the court should not be underestimated.
When the news reached Prince Mo's Mansion, Xiao Yixiu only said a few words that were not really relevant to the situation, "Tonight, this king will go to Madam Qin's place and ask her to prepare."
Qin Caisang was perturbed, he did not know whether to be happy or worried.
Ever since she had entered the palace, she had only served the prince once or twice. Every time, she would fall asleep after drinking wine, and she did not even know what the first night felt like.
Of course she was confused as well, but it was said that Xin Ziyao was also like that when he was favored, he fell asleep after smelling the faint fragrance. She even suspected that the Prince had never touched them, but didn't dare to say these words to anyone.
If the empress found out that they were so incompetent that they had not even climbed into his bed, who knew what kind of punishment they would be subjected to?
Later on, even Madam Ling had experienced the same thing as them. When the few of them brought it up, they all thought the same thing: Prince Mo was always sick and weak, but in that aspect ? No way, right?
While this thought still lingered in her mind, Xiao Yixiu had already ordered her to start undressing.
He sat on the edge of the bed without moving, as if he were waiting for her to come and serve him.
Tonight, Qin Caisang neither drank nor smelled any unusual fragrance, and his hands subconsciously started to tremble a little.
When she had taken off her clothes to the point where only her chest remained, she hesitantly went to help him undress. Seeing that he did not refuse, her actions gradually became more natural. She gently smiled. "Your Highness seems to be in a good mood tonight."
"Yes." He even raised his hand and caressed the rose tattoo on her shoulder. He smiled gently and said, "This tattoo is so beautiful. Why haven't I seen it before?"
"I think it's pretty good, but you liked it when you stabbed it yourself?"
"Did he stab himself?" "Looking at the mirror, it should be very difficult ?"
"I've learned this before."
"Why don't we help Madame Jia make a flower out of it? What do you think we should do?"
Qin Caisang's expression froze for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "Whatever your highness likes, you can make it up to me."
"This King likes scorpions."
"Scorpion ?" Scorpion? "
"Snake Scorpion Beauty, snakes and scorpions are more suited for you, roses are not."
