Chapter 23 Twists and turns

Author: wishful memory

"I don't know who this person is," Yao Suyu said bluntly.

But before she finished speaking, Concubine De suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.

"Why is my beloved concubine laughing?" Yue Zongsheng asked.

"Back to the emperor, I just feel that Mrs. Chu's words are a bit inconsistent.

The previous sentence also said that the murderer had been found, but when the Holy One asked, she said she didn't know who the murderer was. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to fool the Holy One?"

Concubine De's few words made her want to label Yao Suyu as disrespectful to a saint.

This crime can be big or small. If Yue Zongsheng is investigated, it is not impossible to make Yao Suyu lose his head directly on this ground.

Yao Suyu clearly felt that Concubine De was unkind to her, but she was not frightened. Instead, she retorted: "Concubine De's words are wrong."

"Is not it?"

"I just said that I don't know the name of the murderer. It doesn't mean that I don't know what he looks like. But what the empress said is that I don't know who the murderer is? One word difference makes a world of difference."

When Empress De Fei heard what Yao Suyu said, she felt that she was even more quibbling.

But before she could accuse, Yao Suyu spoke first:

"There are so many people named Zhang San and Li Si in the world. I may not be able to find the right person just by knowing the name. But I know his appearance and identity. Isn't that enough?"

Concubine De was choked by Yao Suyu, and she pinched her palms hard with her hands under her wide sleeves, so as not to lose her composure in front of the emperor.

"What's the use of talking fast here? After talking so much, you should find the murderer!"

Yao Suyu looked innocent, "But I was ready to say it a long time ago. It was you who kept asking questions here and interrupted me."

"presumptuous!"

Empress De Fei glanced at her, and the maid next to her scolded Yao Suyu.

Yao Suyu cursed secretly in his heart again, this evil feudal class and this damn imperial power!

But Yao Suyu didn't show any fear on his face, and directly changed the subject: "I have a portrait of the murderer here. Please take a look at it."

After Yao Suyu said this, he took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve.

The eunuch Fengbi next to him took the thing from Yao Suyu's hand with a wink and presented it to the emperor respectfully.

The Concubine De on the side was also very curious. She happened to be standing next to the emperor and took advantage of her position to take a look.

Just one look made her heart stop.

But the next second, Empress De Fei's expression returned to normal, and no one could see the panic and fear of Yao Suyu in her heart.

Yue Zongsheng was also surprised, "Who painted this?"

Yao Su Yuyan replied simply and concisely: "It's me."

Concubine De suddenly did not dare to let Yao Suyu continue talking about this matter, and deliberately changed the subject: "How brave! How can you be allowed to claim such a thing in front of the Holy Master?"

Yao Suyu just said the word "I" out of habit, and Empress De Fei caught the blame and magnified it infinitely.

"But Your Majesty didn't say anything. Why do you, Empress Dowager De, have the right to make decisions for the Emperor? What we are talking about now is the case of people being poisoned in the West City. Empress De Fei, why do you interrupt me again and again? Are you afraid that I will say something?

What's wrong?"

Since Empress De Fei was trying to find fault with her and deliberately made things difficult for her, Yao Suyu followed the same example and deliberately put a hat on Empress De Concubine's head.

Sure enough, Concubine De immediately turned pale and turned around to complain to the emperor: "Your Majesty, look at her..."

But Yue Zongsheng didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Instead, he asked thoughtfully:

"Which genre of painting technique is this? Who did you learn it from?"

Yue Zongsheng was very interested in this sketch portrait drawn by Yao Suyu.

Yao Suyu knew that she had made the right move, and it was true that after she gave the coachman another picture that day, she kept an extra copy as a backup.

Skills that are beyond the scope of this world can be regarded as Yao Suyu's trump card.

"No one taught me, I taught myself." Yao Suyu used the same rhetoric he used to fool Yao Yunzhi to fool Yue Zongsheng.

But at this time, no one would pity Yao Suyu's life experience and past experiences. Yue Zongsheng then asked:

"Then why are you so sure that the person in the painting is the murderer?"

Yao Suyu then told His Majesty the confessions of the poisoned people in the West City.

"Anyway, everyone describes it this way, so even if this person is not the murderer, he is one of the accomplices of the mastermind behind the scenes. As long as he is found, he will definitely be able to find out the real murderer."

"Since you already have the portrait, why don't you send someone to find it?" Yue Zongsheng asked in hot pursuit.

Yao Suyu told the truth: "I was planning to go look for him today, but didn't he get called in by His Majesty?"

Hearing Yao Suyu's answer, the maids and eunuchs nearby were all frightened, thinking that Mrs. Chu was too bold and arrogant to dare to reply to His Majesty's question like this.

Concubine De was secretly happy in her heart. Yao Suyu was so disrespectful to the Holy One, and the Holy One would definitely punish him.

But Yue Zongsheng laughed softly instead. Although the laughter was very small and short, everyone knew that it did not mean he was angry.

"You are quite smart."

When Yue Zongsheng said this, everyone was confused, even Yao Suyu was a little surprised.

He actually praised her? What does this mean?

"You were able to find out this step in just three days, which shows that you have tried your best on this matter. Let the past things be forgotten and go back."

Hearing these words, Yao Suyu was even more stunned!

Before she came, she thought about various possibilities after entering the palace, and even thought of the possibility of entering and exiting vertically.

But Yao Suyu never expected that Tangtangshang would be so easy to fool.

Oh, no, it’s easy to talk...

Who can tell her what just happened?

Could it be that the emperor has been sitting in a high position for a long time and is used to seeing others treat him with respect and obedience. Suddenly someone like Little Pepper choked him, and he felt strangely happy?

Yao Suyu was puzzled, but she was not stupid enough to get to the bottom of it. Instead, she immediately thanked her and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."

Did she really not understand the etiquette in this palace, so she just said the words she learned from watching TV in her previous life?

Then he stood up quickly, without stopping for a second, and walked out quickly as if there was a dog chasing him behind him.

Concubine De's face was even more ugly, and she kept guessing: His Majesty suddenly treated Yao Suyu so leniently and favorably, could it be because he fell in love with her?

I have to admit, this little bitch is indeed quite pretty.

Empress De Fei pretended to feel aggrieved by Yue Zong Sheng, and spoke indignantly:

"Yao Suyu is so arrogant, Your Majesty, you actually..."

It's a pity that before Empress De Fei's black case was finished, Yue Zongsheng's face became as dark as ink.

He suddenly waved down the things on the table and glared at Concubine De: "You still have the nerve to say it?"
