The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

king!

This must be the clue left by Concubine Xiao before her death, trying to tell us that her murderer is related to the character "Wang".

Wang Peiru's name contains the word "Wang", so it seems that her guess was correct. This matter is indeed related to Wang Peiru.

Mo Yuche, who was standing by, also noticed this word. The two looked at each other and understood everything clearly.

But this evidence alone may not be enough. Wang Peiru will definitely deny it, because there are many officials' families here today, and there will inevitably be some with the surname Wang.

When Mu Yan carefully picked up the hemp rope, they both discovered...

……

The main hall of the Prince's Palace.

"Uncle, I heard you found the murderer?"

When the prince heard the news, he rushed over immediately, and Wang Peiru, who followed behind him, looked a little flustered and guilty.

"Is the murderer the Crown Princess?"

Mu Yan smiled contemptuously: "I'm sorry to disappoint Wang Liangdi, the murderer is someone else."

Wang Peiru was very dissatisfied when she saw Mu Yan in the middle of the main hall: "Why are you here? Princess Pingting should stay by the side like the other ladies."

Because this matter involves all the officials' families present today, Mo Yuche has no intention of holding a private trial for this case, but to hold a public trial in the main hall, where all those who have nothing to do with the case can attend the trial nearby.

"Princess Pingting is helping me solve the case, so of course she can be here."

After Mo Yuche said this, even though Wang Peiru was a little unwilling, she had to shut up.

"Princess Pingting, please begin."

Mu Yan nodded at Mo Yuche, clapped her hands and presented all the evidence, including Xiao Yuhuai's body.

Mrs. Xiao, who was standing by, had already woken up and was also in the lobby.

When she saw her daughter's body, she couldn't help crying again: "Daughter, my poor daughter, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Cold, you must make the decision for my daughter."

Mu Yan was also moved when she saw this scene. She reached out and helped Madam Xiao up: "Madam, please accept my condolences. We will definitely find the murderer and bring her to justice."

Madam Xiao choked up: "Who was so cruel to kill my daughter? Who is the murderer?"

Mu Yan opened her red lips slightly, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The murderer is in this lobby."

As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar broke out in the hall.

"Who is it, who is the murderer?"

"It's so scary. The murderer is actually in the lobby. Who is he?"

Madam Xiao held Mu Yan's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, tell me who killed my daughter. I will cut her into pieces to relieve my hatred."

"He is the murderer."

Everyone looked in the direction Mu Yan's finger was pointing.

"How dare you, Mu Yan, you are so bold that you actually say that I am the murderer." Mo Yanli roared in anger, wishing he could tear Mu Yan to pieces.

Everyone was also shocked.

Mu Yan chuckled, her tone neither humble nor arrogant: "We have found the place where Concubine Xiao died. It is in the stone chamber of the rockery behind the orchid garden in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion. You can build a stone chamber in the Prince's Mansion so openly. As the owner of the Prince's Mansion, who dares to start construction without your order?"

The prince was shocked when he heard this. He naturally knew the existence of the stone chamber. It was Wang Peiru who coaxed him into building it. As for the purpose, he did not ask in detail.

"Even if that stone chamber is the first crime scene, it cannot prove that Concubine Xiao was killed by me."

Mu Yan's eyes were deep: "When did I say that Concubine Xiao was killed by His Highness?"

Everyone was confused by these words.

Just now you said that the prince was the murderer, and now you say that Concubine Xiao was not killed by the prince. Isn't this a contradiction?

"Because the real murderer is indeed Wang Liangdi, and His Highness ordered the construction of this stone chamber to provide her with a convenient place to kill people. Isn't that an accomplice? An accomplice is undoubtedly the murderer."

Mu Yan's words were full of pearls, making Wang Peiru panic: "What nonsense are you talking about? What evidence do you have to say that I am the murderer?"

Mu Yan snorted softly, "We found the hemp rope that strangled Concubine Xiao in the stone chamber. We have just had the coroner examine it. The thickness, length, and texture of the hemp rope are the same as the marks on Concubine Xiao's neck. In addition, we found some new scratches in the stone chamber, which means that the stone chamber is the first crime scene.

And from those scratches we found that Concubine Xiao wanted to write the name of the murderer on the wall before she died, but she didn't have time to write the name, and only wrote a surname, and then she died, and that surname was Wang. "

Wang Peiru laughed loudly and raised her eyebrows, "Absurd! What kind of solid evidence do I think this is? Can a single character "Wang" prove that I am the murderer? This is really too absurd."

The Countess of Yongkang, Mrs. Meng, also stood up to defend Wang Peiru: "Yes, the Princess of Yuyun's surname is Wang, the wife of the Minister of War is also surnamed Wang, and the two daughters of the Vice Minister of Personnel are all surnamed Wang. They are all here today. What makes you say that Wang refers to my daughter?"

Mu Yan knew she would say that, and immediately pulled aside the cloth on a tray, revealing a full green jadeite in front of everyone.

"Wang Liangdi, you are so careless that you left such important evidence at the crime scene."

After seeing the jade, Wang Peiru subconsciously touched her earrings, only to find that the jade on her gold-inlaid pearl and jadeite earrings had fallen off at some point.

She was determined and refused to admit it: "It's just an earring. Maybe someone picked up my earring and framed me for it?"

Mu Yan sneered, and Wang Peiru felt numb at her smile.

"why are you laughing."

"I laughed at your naivety. Do you really think I don't have any other evidence?"

Then he took a step forward and grabbed Wang Peiru's hand, holding her hand in front of everyone: "If you can overturn the previous evidence, then you can't deny this."

It was only then that Wang Peiru discovered that there was a scratch on the back of her hand, which she had never noticed before.

"Just now, the coroner checked Concubine Xiao's nails again and found some skin tissue hidden in her nails. Because his attention was attracted by the gold thread on the nails at that time, he ignored this key point. It was not until I saw those messy scratches in the stone chamber that I remembered the bloodstain on your hand.

I guess this blood mark was caused by Concubine Xiao accidentally scratching you when you strangled her to death."

Mu Yan felt relieved. Fortunately, there was this scratch, which made the whole case irreversible. Perhaps it was Wang Peiru's first time to kill someone with her own hands, so she was very flustered and did not realize that her hand had been grabbed.

Otherwise, if she destroys the evidence, the matter will be difficult to handle.

Wang Peiru knew that the evidence was conclusive and she could not defend herself, so she collapsed to the ground.

Madam Xiao rushed over and slapped her hard: "Bitch, why did you kill my daughter?"

Wang Peiru smiled sinisterly, her eyes full of viciousness: "I, I don't want to kill her either, but who made that bitch pregnant with the prince's child before me? She deserves to die."
