Qi Yuning and Lu Ze didn't care about looking for Mrs. Qin's murderer anymore, and even left the wing to look for Lingling.
The two of them walked in the direction of the back mountain mentioned by the secret guard. There was only an Anle Hall on the back mountain, which was a place where pilgrims' memorial tablets were enshrined.
As soon as he entered Anle Hall, Qi Yuning saw rows of candles burning in front of rows of memorial tablets.
Under the candle, there was a maid dressed as a servant. She looked like she was in her thirties or forties. She hugged Lingling and comforted her: "Baby, be good, mother has avenged you."
Lingling pouted and said, "You are not my mother! My mother is prettier than you!"
"I am your mother."
When the female secret guard on the side saw Qi Yuning approaching, she saluted repeatedly: "Princess, I think that woman looks crazy, but she has no intention of harming the young master, so I don't dare to take the young master back rashly."
Qi Yuning nodded lightly. Seeing the crazy maid holding the spirit form in front of him, he walked up and asked, "Are you Xia Xi?"
When Xia Xi saw Qi Yuning coming over, she hugged Lingling tightly and said, "Don't even think about taking my child away, don't even think about it!"
When Lingling saw Qi Yuning, Lu Ze shouted loudly: "Mother, dear, father!"
Lu Ze stepped forward and snatched Lingling from Xia Xi's hand. Although Xia Xi was crazy, she was a weak woman and was naturally no match for Lu Ze and the secret guards.
Lu Ze hugged Lingling back and said, "Is everything okay?"
Lingling hugged Lu Ze tightly and said, "Afraid!"
Qi Yuning took Lingling from Lu Ze's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, mother is here."
Qi Yuning looked at Xia Xi in front of him and said, "Why did you kill your master and steal my daughter?"
"I didn't kill my master!" Xia Xi said, "What evidence do you have to prove that I killed someone? I went out with Chunxi yesterday, and I was here all night. How can you say it was me who killed him? Where’s the madam?”
Lu Ze said: "You have exposed yourself by saying this. Aren't you asking how to kill people? I will tell you right now."
Lu Ze asked the palace guards to tie up Xia Xi and take her to the wing, where there was already a mass of crying.
Qin Han was very sad to see Xia Xi escorted by Lu Ze and said, "Do you really want to slander Xia Xi? How could she kill someone when she is so loyal to her master?"
Chun Xi on the side also said: "Yes, I went out with Xia Xi last night, and when I came this morning, Xia Xi didn't come back. How could he be the person Xia Xi killed? The doors and windows were locked, Xia Xi Can joy go through walls?"
Lu Ze said: "She won't."
Chunxi said: "She can't walk through walls, so she can't be the one killed by Xia Xi. Could it be a ghost killing someone? This is a temple, how can there be ghosts?"
Qin Han still pointed at Qi Yuning and said: "It's not a ghost! It's only possible that Qi Yuning killed someone. She killed someone and then locked the door."
Qi Yuning was extremely speechless. She said helplessly: "If I locked the door from the inside, how did I get out?"
Zhao Chong looked at Lu Ze and said, "This matter is indeed strange."
Lu Ze said: "Actually, it's not strange. Chunxi just said that her wife is afraid of the cold and needs Mrs. Tang, but there is no Mrs. Tang here, but there are many traces of water... and it is impossible to kill someone without a murder weapon, but if you find it here, No murder weapon."
Zheng Fuyin said: "There is no murder weapon in the secret room murder. Could it be that the eldest lady committed suicide?"
Qi Yuning said: "Qin Yuli is still in prison. It is absolutely impossible for a mother like her to commit suicide."
Lu Ze nodded lightly and said: "The princess is right, in fact, the murder weapon is right in front of us!"
Zhao Chong frowned and said, "Didn't you say there is no murder weapon? Why is it in front of you again?"
Qi Yuning carried Lingling and walked outside. Seeing the ice edges hanging down from the tiles at the door, Qi Yuning asked Lingling to pick an ice edge.
Qi Yuning put Lingling down, took the awl-like ice edge in his hand, walked to Yu's body, and touched the eldest lady's wound with the ice edge.
Lu Ze nodded and said: "The bedding here is wet precisely because the murder weapon, the ice pick, has turned into water."
Zhao Chong saw Bing Leng and said, "Although this Bing Leng is a murder weapon, my cousin can't kill herself with Bing Leng."
Lu Ze said: "Well, the murderer is very smart. Chunxi said that yesterday my eldest cousin asked Xia Xi to put Mrs. Tang there, but there was no Mrs. Tang here. The blood was very pale and the bed was wet. It was because Xia Xi did not put Mrs. Tang under the quilt, but It was an ice cube placed in the quilt.
The ice cubes and the ice pick were hidden under the quilt. When my eldest cousin put the quilt on her, she moved the ice cube up to her heart like a soup lady. The heavy ice cube pressed on the ice pick, and the ice pick was enough to penetrate into her heart! "
Lu Ze asked Deqing to catch a hare and then took a large ice cube to Ze placed the ice cube between the two quilts, pierced the bottom quilt with the ice pick, and fused with the ice cube.
After the hare was tied to the bed, the hare was covered with a quilt. The heavy ice cubes pressed against the ice pick and pierced the quilt, and then penetrated into the hare's skin.
Seeing this, Qin Han couldn't believe it, shook his head and said: "Impossible!"
Zhao Chong said: "Ze'er, it's really impossible. My eldest cousin wouldn't see a heavy object in the quilt and put it on her heart."
Lu Ze asked Li Chun to fetch the Tang Pozi and said: "The freshly poured Tang Pozi is a bit hot to the touch. In winter, most people put the Tang Pozi between two layers of quilts. This cousin has the habit of putting the Tang Pozi on her heart, so she thought The ice cube was Yubazi... He placed the ice cube on his heart.
Little did she know that under the ice was an ice pick that could kill someone, and her ice pick must have been specially sharpened...
I think Xia Xi not only used this strategy to kill people, but she also thought that this strategy would not work and used charcoal fire to poison her eldest aunt to death. I thought the number of charcoal braziers here was to make the ice melt faster, but there were so many charcoal fires. Basin, without windows for ventilation, is enough to kill a person. "
Lu Ze looked at Xia Xi and said, "What else do you have to say?"
Xia Xi laughed wildly, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you, Prince Lu, would be able to discover my plan. No wonder Yu Li likes you so much!"
Lu Ze frowned when he heard this, "Why did you kill your master? It is Ling Chi's crime that a slave kills his master!"
Xia Xi broke free from her confinement, pointed at Yu who was lying down and said, "She deserves to die! She deserves to die! I'm just avenging my son!"
Xia Xi cried and cried: "When I accompanied her to marry into the Qin family, I had just turned 15 years old, and I was forced to follow him. Not long after, I became pregnant."
Xia Xi painfully recalled the past and said: "Yu Jiani didn't want me to give birth to a eldest son. She could have told her earlier. I also know the rules and I also want to have an abortion.
But on the surface, she was generous and allowed me to give birth to the baby, but in fact, she snatched my baby away the day after I gave birth! Let me see my son being killed by her and fed to wild dogs. At that time, my son was only three days old, only the third day after he was born..."
Xia Xi said: "My son, I saw with my own eyes those wild dogs chewed up my newborn child who was just a few days old!"
"Isn't this what Yu deserves? I've been waiting for 23 years! After 23 years, I finally got my revenge, hahahaha!"
"I finally succeeded in my revenge! Hahaha!"
Zhao Chong frowned at the crazy maid in front of him and said, "What a crazy woman."
When Qi Yuning listened to Xia Xi's words, she felt that something was wrong.
Why did Mrs. Yu let her dowry maid give birth to the child and then feed it to the dogs?Don't you want your eldest son to be given abortion pills?Why do you need to do such a derogatory thing? If Mr. Yu had really done this, he would have deserved his punishment and died unjustly.
A trace of discomfort flashed across the eyes of Mrs. Qin Guo and Qin Han. Qin Han, who was still saying that he must avenge the Yu family, fell silent when he saw the real murderer.
Zhao Chong frowned and said: "This crazy woman is guilty of the following. As a slave, she dared to kill her master. She must be punished on the spot. Everything that happened in the temple today must not be known to outsiders."
It is ultimately dishonorable for a slave to kill his master.
Fighting between wives and concubines is even more disgraceful.
Xia Xi looked at Zhao Chong in front of him, knelt down and said: "Your Highness, I have no regrets in dying. I have finally avenged myself!"
"Boom!"
There was a burst of thunder outside. The winter thunder was strange, which shocked everyone.
Lingling was so frightened that she even hid in Lu Ze's arms.
Xia Xi listened to the thunder and said: "It thundered in winter. It seems that even God is playing drums for me to celebrate that my great revenge has been avenged!"
Zhao Chong raised his hand and motioned to the eunuch on the side to step forward and take Xia Xi's life.
Xia Xi's eyes widened when she saw a bright red mole on Zhao Chong's wrist bone when he raised his hand...
Xia Xi turned to look at Qin Han and Mrs. Qin Guoshu who were standing aside, and then looked at Yu who was lying down.
It turns out that’s true!
For a moment, Xia Xi's eyes were filled with tears... (End of chapter)
