C188 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole
Baili Jinxiu's smile, in the eyes of the Emperor, held the mischievousness and flirtatiousness of a woman.
However, thinking back to what Yun Feiye had just said, if this girl was standing up for her mother, then she did not have a bad personality.
Emperor nodded at her, causing Baili Furong's eyes to turn red. He lowered his head, and tears began to fall.
As Gong Xiaoche held Baili Furong's hand, he also felt very angry at the bottom of his heart. However, seeing that his royal father had already made his decision, Gong Xiaoche could only tactfully remain silent.
It was at this time that the late Shuntian Prefect finally arrived.
"Emperor. This humble subject has come late. " Shuntian Prefect was not by Emperor's side earlier, and this was after he had received the news outside the palace, which was why he had hurried over.
At this moment, he was already panting heavily from running. Only now did Emperor remember that Baili Jinxiu had caught a palace maid who was trying to kill someone.
And at this time, the Imperial Consort who had gone to change her clothes also appeared. When she originally heard that something had happened to Baili Jinxiu, she didn't want to bother with it.
He never thought that after arriving, he would see Emperor standing in the crowd with a gloomy face.
The imperial concubine carefully walked over, saw the gloomy expression on Emperor's face and looked at her son Gong Xiaoche.
Gong Xiaoche hurriedly gave his Matriarch a meaningful glance.
Imperial Concubine withdrew the smile on her face and asked cautiously: "Emperor, I heard that something happened here? What's the matter? "
Emperor said in a deep voice: "In this imperial garden, there is a palace maid that harmed the young noble of Prime Minister Baili. He even planned to harm Madame Baili."
If not for Baili Mo being saved in time, a murder case would have occurred in the Grean Yan Palace.
When he thought about this, Emperor looked at her with impatience.
How on earth did the imperial concubine manage to turn such a good banquet into such a state?
Imperial Concubine was very familiar with Emperor's gaze. When she saw him reveal such an expression, she immediately curtsied and admitted her wrongs.
"It's my fault, chenqie. The people in this imperial garden are all personnel on duty." This concubine also never thought that such a thing would happen, so what's the matter with the people with Baili Residence right now? "
"Returning to the Noble Consort, everyone in my residence is fine. I hope that the Empress will not worry. " The Prime Minister Baili hastily said.
Baili Jinxiu stood at the side and sneered.
Just now, he still had an expression as if the sky had fallen on his father's face, wishing that he could come up and tear him apart. He was truly his good father now.
"Mn, then Shuntian Prefect, you can investigate it thoroughly. If this person is an evil person with evil intentions, then he must be brought to justice. "
The Imperial Concubine's gaze fell upon Baili Jinxiu's body, but Baili Jinxiu did not avoid her gaze.
When the imperial concubine glared at him viciously, Baili Jinxiu was sure that he had fallen into his heart again.
Shuntian Prefect nodded and saw that the palace maid looked unconscious. He could only ask: "Who discovered this palace maid just now?"
She took a step forward and explained to Shuntian Prefect, "I was the one who found out just now, my mother fell into the water as well. After I fell into the water, I caught my mother and was about to go ashore.
He noticed that my mother's body was gradually sinking. Logically speaking, although my mother doesn't know how to swim, it shouldn't be a problem for me to swim here with her.
My mother also discovered that someone was grabbing her feet under the water. It just so happened that Prince Feng came over to help us, so I decided to dive into the water to take a look. We caught this palace maid and it was she who was grabbing onto my mother's foot at that time. "
Shuntian Prefect nodded and walked over to ask the other palace maids, who also nodded their heads, saying that the palace maids were supposed to follow them and do things.
It was already autumn, and even though Baili Jinxiu was wearing a cape, he could still feel waves of coldness on his body.
She looked towards her mother and saw that her mother's expression wasn't good.
She asked in a low voice: "Prince, can I take my mother to change clothes first?"
Gong Xiaoxuan looked at the cape that Baili Jinxiu was wearing, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Baili Furong's anxious voice.
"Second Younger Sister, this matter is related to you. If you leave now and speak differently from the words of the palace maids, then this matter will become even more troublesome. It would be better to leave your sister here, this way is more appropriate."
Baili Furong did not believe that it was done by a palace maid as she looked at Baili Jinxiu with a sharp gaze.
She only believed that since Baili Jinxiu was the one to say this, then there must be a conspiracy behind it.
Maybe Baili Jinxiu had already disliked the two siblings a long time ago.
Looking at the way the Prince An was protecting Baili Jinxiu, it must be because Baili Jinxiu had helpers in the palace. Today's matter was done on purpose.
Gong Xiaoche saw the look in Baili Furong's eyes as he asked for help, and said as well: "Indeed, the truth has not been revealed yet. It's best that no one leaves this place. Someone come, wake this palace maid up. "
Gong Xiaoche also felt that this matter was just too strange.
Maybe Baili Furong and Baili Furong had really been tricked by Baili Jinxiu, this woman had such a method.
Baili Jinxiu received the doubt in Baili Furong and his mother's eyes and asked without hesitation, "Do you think I would harm my own mother?"
When those words came out, even the Emperor frowned. The gaze he looked at Gong Xiaoche with contained a little impatience as he said in a low voice, "Xiao Che, don't spout nonsense."
Gong Xiaoche, however, firmly believed that what he was thinking was definitely not wrong.
He bowed towards the Emperor and said, "royal father, there is an ancient time when Mei Niang dared to kill her own daughter in order to frame others.
Just now, this son saw that the young masters of the Miss were not on good terms with each other. In order to get rid of those who are not your own kind of friends, it is hard to avoid people thinking of the idea of brothers and sisters killing each other. "
Gong Xiaoche's words were extremely serious, causing the way Emperor looked at Baili Jinxiu to change.
Indeed, what Gong Xiaoche said was also a guess, right?
"Sixth Prince means that I am also a suspect?" Baili Jinxiu sneered, it seemed like today's matter was really going against him.
However, do you know who the loser is?
Who would be a mantis, who would be a cicada, and who would be a oriole?
Gong Xiaoche did not speak, but the way he looked at Baili Jinxiu was clear. He treated Baili Jinxiu as a suspect.
"Emperor, this subject's daughter is willing to cooperate with the investigation. But, if we find out that it was someone else, would Emperor be able to prove her innocence? "
"Of course." Emperor looked at Baili Jinxiu with a curious expression. Could it be that this sharp-tongued girl knew how to investigate a case?
