The Queen Mother jumped from the tower, and His Majesty was reborn with fear

The maid seemed to have thought of a response plan, and she immediately retorted: "Musician has no reason to hurt our master, only you, the princess. Everyone saw the dispute between you and our princess yesterday."

"Later, they even blamed our master for the horse's madness, which almost cost you your life, so you used this vicious method to kill our master."

I laughed when I heard Yu Jinzhi's words.

"So you just put this hat on my head based on your guess? There is no substantial evidence at all?" Yu Jinzhi continued to ask.

"Just now, the Duke has asked people to check all the pianos brought by the musicians, and found nothing unusual. Only the princess's piano has not been checked. If the princess really has a clear conscience, then just take it out and check it." The palace maid said this with a solemn oath, as if Yu Jinzhi had really done this.

Of course Yu Jinzhi knew that Cheng Yun’s death was not caused by her, but today it was obviously directed at her.

This palace maid was so sure, she must have been well prepared. She had never touched the zither since she came to the hunting ground. Could it be that her zither had been tampered with?

"Princess, are you not speaking because you feel guilty?" the maid continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of justice, and to prove that the princess has nothing to do with this matter and to clear her name, please have someone bring the princess's zither for inspection." Duke Cheng spoke again.

Xie Yuxiu's face was calm, as if he didn't care about anything. His eyes slowly fell on Yu Jinzhi, who glanced at Qingyu and then nodded.

"Our princess didn't do this in the first place. In that case, I'll go get the zither right away," Qingyu said.

"Go ahead." Xie Yuxiu's voice sounded slowly.

When Qingyu heard this, she hurried to get the piano, but since she deliberately concealed it, Duke Chengguo sent someone to go with her.

Yu Jinzhi also looked up at Xie Yuxiu who was sitting at the top. Her eyes were red. After all, she had just woken up from sleep, so she was still a little tired.

"Did I wake you up tonight?" Xie Yuxiu suddenly asked.

Everyone was attracted by these words, because they had never heard His Majesty speak to anyone in such a gentle tone.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "It's okay. Such a big thing happened. I can't sleep either."

"Are you feeling better?" Xie Yuxiu asked again.

It is really eye-catching that the two of them can still chat casually in this situation.

But before they could say a few words, Qingyu came over with the zither. The zither was in a wooden box, which had not been opened yet.

"Your Majesty, the princess's zither has been brought over." Qingyu presented the item.

"Open it." Xie Yuxiu didn't hesitate.

The palace maid next to her stepped forward and opened the musical instrument case, but the moment it was opened, everyone became confused.

"Where is Qin?" Duke Chengguo was the first to shout.

There is no piano in this piano case.

"This..." Everyone looked at Yu Jinzhi.

But Yu Jinzhi was also bewildered: "My piano has been kept in there and never taken out. How could this happen?"

"This is impossible! You must have hidden your zither on purpose!" The palace maid who had just given the testimony suddenly became excited.

Yu Jinzhi remained unmoved.

"What do you mean I hid it on purpose? Where could I hide such a big piano? And how did I know in advance that you would ask me to get the piano?" Yu Jinzhi asked back.

"Of course it's to destroy the evidence. Since you killed someone with the strings of a musical instrument, how could you possibly wait for someone to investigate?" The palace maid was also quick-witted.

Yu Jinzhi looked at her and said, "You said I arranged it, but everyone knows that I have been in the tent since I came back from His Majesty's place today. When did I kill him?"

"If you say that I ordered others to kill her, then who did I order? How did they get in and kill her? Did anyone see it? You don't have any evidence, but you point out that I killed her. Who gave you the courage?" Yu Jinzhi continued to ask.

The matter seemed to be stuck like this. The palace maid could not provide any new evidence, and Yu Jinzhi could not explain where her zither had gone.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Su Zhaorong walked out from the crowd.

"Your Majesty" Su Zhaorong looked pale, probably because of his injuries that had not yet healed.

"I have something to say." Su Zhaorong said.

Xie Yuxiu glanced at her, and then said without any emotion: "Speak."

Su Zhaorong nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, I remember that before Cheng was killed, she met someone, Concubine Jiang."

Lady Jiang's eyes widened when she suddenly heard her name. She looked at Su Zhaorong in disbelief, with anger in her eyes: "What do you mean? Is Su Zhaorong doubting me?"

"Your Majesty, I am not suspicious of Lady Jiang, but something strange happened today. When Lady Jiang went to see Cheng, I happened to be on my way to see the princess, so we met on the road."

"I remember that when Lady Jiang left, she brought two maids with her. But when she returned, I met Lady Jiang again. At that time, there was only one maid by her side. So I was just a little curious. Could it be that the other maid by Lady Jiang was given to Cheng?"

When Lady Jiang heard this, her face changed, and she quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I did come to visit Cheng today, but it was Cheng who wanted to see me, so she sent someone to tell me. But I did nothing."

"Also, the palace maid beside me was also asked by Cheng, who just said that she liked me. I am of low status, so how could I dare to refuse? That's why I agreed. Your Majesty, I really didn't do anything." Concubine Jiang explained and begged for mercy.

"Then I wonder why Cheng suddenly asked you to go over? She has already been deposed, could Concubine Jiang still be afraid of her?" Su Zhaorong continued to question.

Lady Jiang's eyes now look like she wants to strangle Su Zhaorong to death, right?

"Although she has been deposed, but... but..." Concubine Jiang seemed a little afraid to say the following words, but everyone could guess that although Cheng was deposed, she was still alive and had not been dealt with, and she had Duke Cheng and her uncle who held military power behind her.

Yu Jinzhi watched this farce and instantly grasped the key point.

"Since you've asked for a person, I wonder where this person is now?" Yu Jinzhi said.

"Where is the person?" Xie Yuxiu was also very cooperative and directly asked the palace maid who served Cheng.

The palace maid didn't seem to have expected things to turn out like this, and she was still not able to react.
