    Chapter Index

    Although the Queen Mother’s words were a question, Su Moyi knew that she and Ben were not asking her what she meant.

    On the old man’s birthday, all the civil and military royal families were watching, but he couldn’t really run away.So, he could only shudder his back and weakly agreed.

    As soon as the Queen Mother got a nod from “he”, she winked at the Queen sitting beside her.

    This so-called cousin Shu is the youngest daughter of Queen Chen and the direct granddaughter of the Queen Mother. She and Su Moyi can be considered childhood sweethearts.

    Since she was weak when she was young, and often suffered from wind and cold, the imperial doctor suggested that she be sent to Jiangnan, which was warmer than Shengjing, to be raised.

    Time flies by more than ten years, and the little girl has grown into a graceful beauty.After checking her pulse last month, the imperial doctor felt that she was well and could probably return to Beijing.

    Queen Chen sent someone to bring her back.

    It happened that the Queen Mother heard that the emperor assigned Su Moyi another difficult case, and was sighing and scolding that the emperor only thought about her country and the country, and did not care about her nephew at all. Princess Jiading Xu wanted to save her father from the siege, so she briefly asked her about the situation of her cousin Su.

    The Queen Mother and the Empress were both women who had lived in the palace for a long time, and they were always sensitive to these children. They asked her what she thought in a few words.

    Seeing her lowering her head and eyes closed, her pretty face flushed, I just felt that if we could kiss her, this arrangement would be the best.

    Hence, what happened just now happened.

    The Queen Mother tightly grasped Su Moyi’s sleeves, fearing that he would run away, so she pulled out wrinkles from the fine moon-white moiré satin on his body.

    Su Moyi tugged uncomfortably, feeling like a prisoner being escorted.

    While he was thinking about it, there was a soft footsteps accompanied by the pleasant and crisp sound of jade, and a soft female voice sounded in his ears.

    Wei Shu leaned over Su Moyi, lowered her head and said shyly, “I’ve met my cousin.”

    The woman in front of her was wearing a pink palace dress, which was an ordinary dress.But her fair skin and the right few pink jade sticks on her bun made her look like a peach blossom on an April branch.

    The sun shines brightly, swaying gently in the wind.

    It was decent and pleasing to the eye, but the overly delicate voice and figure were somewhat different from the arrogant and willful little cousin in my memory.

    Su Moyi couldn’t help but frowned, and said “oh” indiscriminately.

    The sleeve that was pulled by the Queen Mother seemed to be more crooked. Su Moyi calmed down and suppressed a smile.

    “I’ve met Princess Jiading.” The voice was stiff, as if he was interrogating a suspect.

    “Hey!” The Queen Mother took Wei Shu’s hand and joked: “You have known each other since childhood, why are you so close to each other now? Grandma remembers that when you were a child, you followed your cousin Su all day long, like a little tail.”

    The little girl lowered her head, blushed with embarrassment and muttered: “Grandma, please don’t laugh at Shu’er.”

    The soft, delicate voice will make any man feel embarrassed and soulless when he hears it.

    But Su Moyi’s brows frowned more and more tightly, almost forming the character “Chuan”…

    But that’s no wonder he.

    Since he entered Dali Temple, almost all the female prisoners he has seen who murdered their husbands, committed adultery and took away their children were all so charming, soft and harmless.Because of this kind of woman, she knows how to use her own advantages to obtain men’s money, love, mercy, and life…

    The sleeves were crooked again, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the Queen Mother had a stern face, with an expression of “If you dare not answer the call, just wait for me.”

    He had no choice but to hold his forehead and give a polite smile.

    The Queen Mother then let go of He’s hand, pushed He towards Wei Shu, and said, “Don’t look at your cousin Shu’er’s gentleness. During the years she went to Jiangnan, she also studied some strange prison cases in private. A few days ago, she found a book of medical examinations to discuss with me.”

    Su Moyi nodded very distantly and said nothing.

    Wei Shu followed the Queen Mother’s words and said, “Yes, the book said that the bone-dropping method can be used to test marriage. This is something I have never seen or heard of…”

    “Because it’s false.”

    Su Moyi had a cold face and interrupted Wei Shu without giving any face.

    Wei Shu was speechless for a moment and could only force a smile and said: “But… I read in the book that…”

    “Liquid will penetrate into the bones because of the tiny gaps in the bones. It has nothing to do with whether they are blood related or not.”

    Su Moyi’s eyes were always forward, caressing the sleeves that were wrinkled by the Queen Mother, and said solemnly: “If you like to have your injuries examined in prison, it would be better to read more medical books than to believe these nonsense rumors spread among the people.”

    Everyone was speechless.

    No matter how relieved Wei Shu was, her already stiff face could not hold back any longer.

    The little girl had just returned to the palace not long ago, and she was still a little timid even facing her biological mother.When Su Moyi said this, her cheeks turned red to the root of her neck.Ten bright white fingers helplessly stirred the silk handkerchief in his hand, and his lower lip was almost bloody.

    “Come here!”

    The Queen Mother couldn’t stand it any longer, so she grabbed Su Moyi’s sleeve again and pulled him to stagger.The queen on the side didn’t want to take part in anything, so she led Wei Shu, who was in tears with humiliation, to stay away.

    “What’s going on with your mouth?!”

    The Queen Mother kept panting angrily, but she was also afraid of being heard and embarrassing Wei Shu again, so she lowered her voice and asked sternly: “Won’t you just follow what I’m saying?”

    Su Moyi still had a serious expression and said seriously: “I am a prison official. If I make a mistake, I will make a mistake. How should I handle this wrong thing?”

    “You…ahem…” The Queen Mother was speechless when asked, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

    She could only cough while stroking her chest, and looked at Su Moyi with a heartbroken look on her face and said: “The Yue’an County Lord who looked after you before, you thought her teeth were not neat. Find someone with neat teeth, and you thought her tear mole was asymmetrical. What do you dislike about this cousin now?”

    Su Moyi thought for a while and said calmly: “The walk is too wobbly, and the eyebrows are a little high.”

    The Queen Mother almost spit out a mouthful of blood when she heard this.

    The palace maid on the side was busy serving tea and water, and Su Moyi took the opportunity to step back a little.

    The Queen Mother calmed down for a while, then complained: “If you ask me, I shouldn’t have cared about your matter. If I had known that this would be the result, I might as well save some time and read a few more pages of the book.”

    “Grandma said so.”

    “You…” The Queen Mother choked again, took another sip of the tea handed to her by the palace maid, and waved her hands irritably: “Let’s go, let’s go! I don’t want to see you again in the short term.”

    It seemed like she wouldn’t be forced into marriage for a while again, so Su Moyi took it easy and felt a little more relaxed.Then he returned to his well-behaved appearance, and turned around to say goodbye to the Queen Mother.

    Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at the empty space under the steps – Song Zhengxing.

    Maybe it was because the lights in the banquet hall were blown by the wind, and Su Moyi was also dazed for a moment.

    yes.

    If they had known what the outcome would be, why would some people still take risks?

    The Queen Mother is unwilling to give in because of important matters for her descendants, but what about them?

    Once the thoughts are stirred up, they can no longer be controlled.

    Song Zheng had been an official for decades, so why was he so stupid that he asked Wang Hu to cover a serious but easily self-defeating crime?

    Even if Wang Hu was sentenced to death, he would still have to go through a long process, review by the Ministry of Punishment, and finally submit it to the emperor for approval.

    During this process, the real culprit of the rape and murder case will commit another crime at any time.Then, Wang Hu’s unjust case will be solved.

    Song Zhengxing was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he would not have thought of this.

    Then, there is only one possibility…

    Su Moyi’s breath was stagnant, and Su Moyi was startled by the thoughts that flashed through his mind, and a shiver ran down his spine.

    The unfinished salute was frozen in place.

    “Royal grandmother, my grandson has important matters to attend to, so I may not be able to have dinner with you.”

    As soon as the words fell, Su Moyi trotted out of the Imperial Garden from the back hall without even waiting for the Queen Mother’s reply.

    When he arrived at the palace gate, he fluttered his robes, got on his horse, and said in a deep voice to Ye Qing: “Quick! Go to Dali Temple and call for help! Come with me to the Jingzhao Mansion Death Row!”
