Chapter 819 Goodbye Lu Xuefei
Everyone's attention was focused on the people arguing in the side hall, so they didn't notice the queen walking in quietly.
At this time, the queen's eyes were cold and dignified, and she stood in front of everyone. Everyone saluted quickly: "Your Highness, your Highness, pays respect to you."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite, let's all go!"
Naturally, everyone didn't want to stay any longer. After Shu Xue died, Shu Lang used her body to frame Jiang's son-in-law. As for the people standing in the hall and making a fuss, Jiang Fenghua could have been impartial, but they were arguing all about Xie Shang and Zhang Yurou's trivial matters.
This is not a palace, but an altar. There are no ordinary people waiting outside. They continue to quarrel, and what they are quarreling about is the dignity of the royal family and the majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile, and she looked in Wang's direction, "You are Madam Li's mother, right?"
Wang had never seen the Queen so closely before, and today was a special situation, so she had the opportunity to go into the side hall to drink tea, eat snacks and rest.
Wang quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen."
She had no grudge against Queen Jiang. Instead, those who killed Xue'er wanted to use Xue'er to frame the Jiang family, and the Jiang family was also a victim.
At this time, Wang Shi also had a little trick in her mind. The fourth princess had an affair with the emperor, and the queen would be unhappy! So she would stand on the queen's side.
The corners of her eyes were red, and the tears in her eyes showed that she felt wronged.
Jiang Fenghua understood her thoughts and helped her up. "Madam, you don't have to be so polite. I am also very sad about Madam Li's matter, but the deceased is gone. Madam, please accept my condolences."
This was the first time someone said "I'm sorry" to Wang since Shu Xue's accident. She couldn't hold back her tears and they flowed out.
Jiang Fenghua took out a handkerchief and asked, "Madam, why are you crying?"
"Your Majesty, you are so kind. You don't know how miserable my Xue'er's life is!" Wang took the opportunity to complain, "Xue'er and the Fourth Princess are close, so they can be considered as close friends. I didn't expect that the most ruthless person is actually someone close to me."
Jiang Fenghua was full of black lines on his head, "But the emperor has already found out that this matter has nothing to do with the Fourth Princess. It was the Fourth Prince who got drunk and accidentally killed someone."
"I have heard about it. There is the Fourth Princess' earring in Xue'er's stomach. I have asked the coroner privately. If the person died first, it would be impossible to feed the earring into the stomach. How can a dead person swallow? Unless Xue'er swallowed the earring herself when she was alive, she did it to preserve the evidence." Wang said.
Jiang Fenghua had no way to answer her, because it was true. Zhang Yurou had lied in the court, and Xie Yang had also lied when he confessed his guilt in front of everyone, so there were so many loopholes.
Shu Xue must have died in Zhang Yurou's dormitory, and there was a struggle. She even swallowed the earring to preserve evidence when she knew she was in danger.
This is the loophole left by the manipulation of imperial power.
She was helpless. She was not a savior, nor was she an honest official who could solve cases. Strictly speaking, she should stand on the same line as the emperor and support whatever decision the emperor made, because the interests of the royal family were her interests.
She only benefits herself and not others.
Now everyone's eyes are on Wang, is there another hidden reason behind Shu Xue's death? It's not that the Fourth Prince was drunk and killed someone by mistake. At that time, the Fourth Prince seemed to say that Shu Xue wanted to force herself on the Fourth Prince's bed, and the Fourth Prince resisted and killed someone by mistake. Later, he let the Fourth Prince's wife take the blame in order to escape punishment.
Everyone was thinking: It seems that all the words were written by the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess long ago.
Lies are lies after all, and the net of justice is vast and nothing can escape it.
At this moment, Lu Xuefei suddenly appeared, with a smile on her lips, "Your servant Lu Xuefei pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "Xue Fei, long time no see."
Lu Xuefei asked, "Didn't the minister and the queen just meet that day?"
Jiang Fenghua was referring to the fact that she hadn’t seen Lu Xuefei for a long time before she lost her memory.
After she regained her memory, she carefully read the letter that Nanny Wang left for her. Just like the sighs and regrets in Nanny Wang's letter, Nanny Wang should be regretting that she could no longer see Jiang Fenghua, who had learned etiquette and rules in the Wang Mansion!
Jiang Fenghua nodded and looked at Lu Xuefei. Due to her status, she couldn't be involved in this matter, but Lu Xuefei was the daughter of the Chief Justice, so her explanation should be convincing.
Lu Xuefei seemed to have a telepathic connection with Jiang Fenghua. She said, "I have heard a little about Madam Li's affairs. To be honest, Madam, I was also present when the cause of Shu Xue's death was investigated. Madam also sent the female official Hongxiu to investigate the case. In addition to wanting to redress the injustice for Master Jin, she also wanted to give Shu Xue justice."
Lu Xuefei's words made everyone feel comfortable. Jiang Fenghua secretly gave her a thumbs up. Jiang Fenghua could also say these words, but she couldn't. If she said them, she would be slapping Xie Shang in the face. If they investigated further, they would only find out that the emperor deliberately favored the fourth prince.
Lu Xuefei said it was different. She was the daughter of the Chief Justice and was involved in the case. Many people present actually didn't know the whole story. They all wanted to know what happened and the truth.
Wang cried even more sadly when she heard this. "Xue'er was buried in the wilderness by the Li family. The Li family didn't even let her enter the ancestral temple. Who will give her justice?"
Madam Li is not an easy person to deal with. Shuxue's marriage was also arranged by Shulang. Wang thought that her daughter would live a good life after marrying into Minister Li's mansion. She didn't expect that after marrying into the mansion, not only would her daughter be disliked by her husband, but she would also often be bullied by her mother-in-law.
Lu Xuefei said, "Madam, please accept my condolences. I believe that Shu Xue's spirit is in heaven, and she would not want her mother to be sad for her. In fact, there is indeed another hidden story in this case. If I hadn't seen you so sad today, I wouldn't have wanted to tell you."
Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to Lu Xuefei.
Lu Xuefei pulled Madam Wang aside and whispered, "Madam, crying in front of the Queen in front of so many people will not help Shu Xue redress her grievances. The Queen is actually a victim too. Madam, think carefully. If the person behind the scenes succeeds in framing the son-in-law of the Jiang family, will the Queen be able to have an easy life?"
Wang shook her head. She only knew that the Fourth Princess and the Emperor had done something shameful and that Xue'er's death was suspicious. These had nothing to do with Queen Jiang.
Lu Xuefei continued, "Shu Xue's death was indeed very unjust, because she was used by her own uncle, and now Minister Shu is also going to be executed. But Madam, think about it, Minister Shu is the biggest supporter of the Shu family. Once he dies, will the Shu family, including you, have an easy life?"
Wang calmed down. She knew that she was in trouble, so her husband admitted that Xueer's death was caused by her daughter herself.
