Chapter 279 I will make the decision for you!
Xiao Mingcheng frowned slightly and felt a little anxious when he heard this.
Could it be that although the aunt knew that she was murdered by a villain, she didn't know who the murderer was? If this is true, the investigation may be very troublesome.
However, no matter what, he will get to the bottom of this matter.
Because Li was shaking so badly, the Queen Mother noticed it: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Li pretended to be calm and said, "Your Highness, Wan'er is fine. She just feels scared."
The Queen Mother actually felt the same way, but after she knew that the female ghost was Xiao Ning, she was much calmer. Because she had no grudge against Xiao Ning, and even if Xiao Ning turned into a fierce ghost, she would not cause trouble for her.
But... the Queen Mother's eyes were shining with gold as she looked at Li in front of her.
If Xiao Ning really wanted to seek revenge on Bai Qian, she should go to the Shangshu Mansion, not the Imperial Palace, nor his Cining Palace. Now, she is in Cining Palace... so it is obvious who she wants to find.
"Wan'er, I remember that when Xiao Ning died, you hadn't yet entered the Shangshu Mansion, right?"
After hearing this, Li was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "Yes, although Minister Bai was kind to me and saved me from danger, at that time, Minister Bai only pitied my background and was not familiar with him."
Although she knew that people in the public had long speculated about her and Bai Qian's affair, and there were people gossiping about it in the palace, most of those people were just talking. It happened more than a decade ago, so who could come up with concrete evidence?
The Queen Mother said earnestly, "It would be best if this were the case."
After saying this, he pulled his hand back from hers and said, "Eunuch Gui, come here and help me."
Eunuch Gui was slightly stunned and immediately stepped forward.
The Queen Mother held his hand and took two steps forward, putting three steps between herself and Li.
Li's supporting hand was moved away, and she was horrified. Then she saw the empress dowager deliberately walking away, and the fear in her heart was gradually replaced by anger.
As expected, Xiao Ning was born to stand in her way.
When she was alive, she was blocking her path to becoming the Shangshu's wife.
Even after his death, he still blocked her path to success and even caused a rift between her and the Queen Mother.
This bitch...
She was cursing Xiao Ning in her heart when she suddenly felt a chill coming from her neck and quickly reaching her crown. At the same time, a cold voice said, "Found it!"
Three words, lightly and slowly uttered, accompanied by a frosty chill that stimulated her eardrums and almost made her scalp explode instantly: “Ahhhhhhh…”
After a series of screams, she quickly stepped back, trying to distance herself from the female ghost.
But she was too frightened and did not run in the other direction, but ran straight into the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was already old, and after being knocked down by Li, she fell to the ground.
Eunuch Gui was also startled and hurried to help, but the female ghost was not far away. He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and it took him a long time to help the empress dowager up.
The Queen Mother felt a heart-wrenching pain in her tailbone, and her dissatisfaction with Li instantly reached its peak: "How dare you knock me down."
Li also reacted and said immediately: "Ghost, ghost, ghost, it's a female ghost..."
He quickly pointed in the direction where he had just seen Xiao Ning.
What’s even more terrifying is that she said…found it?
Unfortunately, when everyone looked in the direction of her hand, there was nothing!
Li was slightly startled.
Could it be that she was just too scared and had an illusion? Before he could think about it, Xiao Mingcheng suddenly came to his senses and asked directly: "Li, is it you who harmed my aunt, and you are feeling guilty now?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted and looked at Li.
The fourth prince Ouyang Yu: "Although I don't want to admit that there are ghosts in this world, but if according to what General Bai said just now, this resentful ghost is here to seek revenge, then the person who has a grudge against her in this Cining Palace is Li, right?"
Ouyang Mao used one hand as a hammer and the other as a case, and knocked gently: "It really is."
"I'll tell you, this Li is not a good person at first glance."
"I've heard people say that when Xiao Ning was pregnant, she had already been flirting with Minister Bai."
"Oh, you probably don't know, she didn't meet Minister Bai in a proper place, she had been to that kind of place before."
"No way, why would Minister Bai let her be his wife? Isn't he afraid of being embarrassed?"
"It is said that she sells her art but not her body. Although I have never seen it, my father told me after a drink that he once spent a lot of money to listen to her play music."
"So, she wanted to enter the General's Mansion, so she killed Minister Bai's then wife, Xiao Ning?"
"I think it's very likely!"
"..."
Li still remembers the cold touch on the back of her neck and the face as pale as paper. Blood and tears were flowing from where the eyes should have been. This scene was unforgettable and made her dazed.
Ouyang Ming looked at the frightened Li and said without hesitation, "Xiao Ning, if you have any grievances, please speak out. I will take care of it for you!"
He also has some feelings for Xiao Ning.
This kind of feeling is different from the one with the Queen. She can be regarded as a sister who has been watching her grow up since childhood.
Although the original intention to let her enter the palace was unsuccessful, which led to the Wang family becoming more powerful and targeting the queen, and they had a little resentment towards her. But this resentment disappeared with the news of her death.
Now, if there was resentment over her death, it was only natural for him to seek justice for her.
What's more, if this matter of standing up for the wronged soul were to spread, it would be considered a miracle and would surely be recorded in history!
As soon as he finished speaking, a red figure appeared in the sky again: "Li Wan."
Low and suppressed voices came from all directions.
Li Wan? Isn't that Li's name? When this was said, everyone was startled and looked at Li.
But at this moment, Li still looked dazed, as if she was frightened, her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.
Ouyang Ming immediately asked: "Li Wan, did you murder Xiao Ning?"
Before he could finish his words, the hot-tempered Xiao Minglou rushed forward and lifted Li up from the ground with his hand, as if he was lifting a chick from the ground: "Is it you? Is it you who poisoned my aunt to death? Ah!"
It turned out that she was the one who murdered her aunt. If she had known this, she would not have attacked Bai Qian, but would have beaten her to death directly!
At this moment, Bai Lian, who had been following behind without showing her face, stood up and slapped Xiao Minglou's arm vigorously: "Let go, let go of my mother."
She never thought that things would turn out like this.
However, she absolutely did not believe that ghosts really existed.
The most important thing is that this so-called revenge of the vengeful ghost was deliberately guided by Bai Wei before, so it must be her way of avenging her mother.
Although her mother never said anything about Xiao Ning, when she communicated with her, she roughly guessed that Xiao Ning died at the hands of her mother. But why is her mother so strange today, and she doesn't say anything to defend herself? Who can find out about this matter that happened more than ten years ago?
She was still counting on her mother to help her fight against Bai Wei and make her die a miserable death. Of course, she couldn't let the people present convict her mother.
Otherwise, she would become the daughter of a murderer, and her already precarious position as a concubine would become even more difficult.
Thinking of this road, she made up her mind.
But who is Xiao Minglou? He is a military general.
Even if she tried her best, it was of no use. In the end, she simply wanted to bite Xiao Minglou's arm.
This woman actually wanted to talk to him. It was really scary!
Xiao Minglou was startled, and subconsciously grabbed Li and swung at Bai Lian. Bai Lian didn't stand well, and fell backwards...
