Chapter 833 There is someone behind the scenes
Jiang Fenghua came out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion and returned to the carriage. She always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. She lifted the curtain and looked around, but there was nothing unusual.
She still felt a lingering fear when she thought back to Zhang Yurou's death.
Even though Lu Xuefei had seen countless cases, no one had ever died in front of her. She realized it belatedly, "If someone wanted to kill us, or if someone wanted to assassinate the queen, would we have been the ones to die?"
Hong Xiu also realized that the Queen and Miss Lu had just experienced a life-and-death crisis. "Fortunately, the Queen is fine. The Queen and Miss Lu's faces are so pale. What did you go through in there? Is the Fourth Princess really dead? How did she die? I have been guarding outside. I didn't see the assassin go in, nor did I hear any fighting. What happened?"
Jiang Fenghua explained, "The other party didn't want to kill me, or they didn't want to kill me because they thought I was useful. Who killed Zhang Yurou? I didn't see it clearly at the time. I just felt a cool breeze and Zhang Yurou's neck was cut by a steel wire. As for when the assassin entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion, we don't know. Maybe there was no assassin at all. It was the Fourth Prince who directed and acted it out himself, but does the Fourth Prince know martial arts?"
She thought of Bai Yuhan. If there was something fishy going on with the Bai family...
She knew that she had lost her memory, and that she once did business with Lin Yu in the underworld under the identity of Young Master Ruan.
The only thing Bai Yuhan didn't know was that she had memories of her past life. Because Su Tingwan had dreamed of her past life, and Ji Chen had actually come back to life on the body of the Hu prince, they all knew about their past lives, although in the end they died without the chance to tell anyone.
But Su Tingwan told Concubine Su and Su Xuan about this matter. Xie Ling'er also disappeared. Now Xie Ling'er is the only person who knows about it.
Several maids around her and Lin Yu knew about it, and Nanny Wang knew about it, but Nanny Wang was already dead and she did not tell anyone about it. In the end, even Xie Shang knew about it.
Jiang Fenghua always felt that the person behind her was coming for her, but she had no idea what the other party's purpose was.
"Your Highness, where should we go now? Should we go to Jiang's Mansion or go back to the palace directly?" Hong Xiu said again: "Let's go back to the palace directly. It's too dangerous outside. We shouldn't have gotten rid of the secret guards when we left Jiang's Mansion. If anything happens to Your Highness, I will never be able to atone for my sin even if I die a thousand times..."
She hoped that Aoxue could cheer up quickly and protect the Queen's safety.
"Go to Jingzhao Prefecture to watch Zhang Anyu's trial." Jiang Fenghua couldn't hide. It was useless. "Xie Yang reported Zhang Yurou's death to the authorities immediately. He was very quick this time."
In his previous life, Jiang Fenghua knew very little about Xie Yang's rebellion. He only knew that he failed and the news spread widely.
She said, "Xue Fei, let's analyze the case."
"Okay." After listening to the Fourth Princess's accusation, Lu Xuefei said directly: "I think there is something wrong with the Fourth Prince. As long as the Fourth Princess lives, she will be a witness to accuse the Fourth Prince of torturing Shu Xue. The Emperor only put the Fourth Prince under house arrest and did not punish him, but his stain will definitely not be erased.
In fact, I think the Fourth Prince is very smart! He knew to report to the police immediately, and reporting to the police also cleared him of suspicion. "
Jiang Fenghua said: "If Xie Yang knew that we had entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion and met Zhang Yurou... he sent someone to kill Zhang Yurou and could have framed me in the end, but the murderer gave us time to escape."
"The thing is strange here. Could it be that they just want to scare the Queen and let us leave the Fourth Prince's Mansion safely? What's their purpose?" Lu Xuefei was also confused. If it was the Fourth Prince who killed someone, would he consider not killing the Queen?
"According to the inference, if the Fourth Prince had killed someone, he wanted to frame the Empress, and that was indeed the best time."
"Xue Fei has actually always had a doubt in her heart." Lu Xue Fei didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Jiang Fenghua knew what she was wondering about. "I have also guessed that the Emperor might have known about the things that the Fourth Princess said. He also knew that the Fourth Prince was ill and could not control himself. Why didn't he make it public? It should be for the face of the royal family!" Could it be that Xie Shang wanted to kill Zhang Yurou to silence her? If it was someone sent by Xie Shang, he would certainly not hurt her.
Anyway, she didn't believe that it was because Xie Yang and Xie Shang didn't have fatherly or motherly love when they were young, and the two of them huddled together for warmth and developed some other kind of feelings.
Xie Shang is not such a person. In his previous life, he was cold and ruthless to women, and even more heartless and ungrateful to men. All the princes of the Xie family were very bad and none of them had a good ending.
Lu Xuefei didn't want to think so, but what the Fourth Princess said made sense, and she knew that many young masters from wealthy and aristocratic families also liked homosexuality.
She said, "I will go with the Queen to see what is going on."
-
Their carriage stopped in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture. When she arrived, she realized that not only she was there, but also Lord Tang from the Ministry of Justice and Madam Zhang San were there. She cried endlessly when she knew her daughter had been murdered.
But Zhang Anyu also brought Mrs. Shu, Wang, to the yamen. Wang was brought from the Fourth Prince's mansion, so it was quite a scene.
Jiang Fenghua said, "I didn't expect Zhang Anyu to be so quick. With so many people here, Jingzhao Prefecture will be in trouble tonight. But there is no murderer. Who is Zhang Anyu going to interrogate?"
She added, "Hongxiu, when you sent someone to inform Madam Shu, you didn't reveal any flaws, did you?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, they are all strangers." Hongxiu would definitely not let Madam Shu know that it was the Queen who asked her to make trouble at the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Even if we wanted to investigate, we couldn't find the cause on them.
The Fourth Prince and Concubine Chang were under house arrest by the Emperor. They definitely could not leave the mansion, but the steward of the Fourth Prince's Mansion represented the Fourth Prince's Mansion to the yamen.
Two women in the hall were arguing fiercely and even fighting. The judge in the hall slammed the gavel in his hand and said, "Who is here and why are you making a fuss? Tell me your name."
Madam Zhang cried and complained, "There is something strange about the death of the Fourth Prince's Concubine. There are soldiers stationed at the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Where did the assassin come from to assassinate the Fourth Prince's Concubine? It must be someone in the mansion who wants to kill my daughter."
Madam Shu felt relieved. "My daughter was killed by the Fourth Princess. She died so tragically. Humph! Retribution has finally come to her. God has opened his eyes. Xue'er, you should rest in peace in heaven."
It was because of these few words that Mrs. Zhang San was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood: "Poisonous woman, I will kill you. It was you who killed the Fourth Princess. It must be you. You will not die well."
Madam Zhang San was so angry that she was confused. When Zhang Yurou died, Wang was cursing in front of the Fourth Prince's Mansion!
"Which eye of yours saw that I was the one who killed Zhang Yurou? It was clearly God who opened her eyes. Her retribution has come. It's not that I won't pay her back, it's just that the time has not come yet. Thank God, thank the Queen."
Jiang Fenghua hid in the dark and listened, feeling very upset. Even if she wanted Zhang Yurou to die, she would not dirty her hands. Besides, she was not going to kill Zhang Yurou.
