The Imperial Palace.
Wei Yi could not sleep for the entire night, his heart uneasy.
He paced back and forth in the palace hall countless times.
The eunuch Liu Ze was also anxious and advised, "Your Majesty, you haven't rested for the entire night. You should rest."
"I'm worried about Shu 'er."
"The imperial physician said that Lord Ji is fine. Your Majesty need not worry."
"How can I be at ease if she hasn't woken up?"
Liu Ze did not know what to say.
At this time, a young eunuch hurried in and bowed. "Your Majesty."
Wei Yi immediately asked, "How is it? How is Shu 'er? "
"Your Majesty, Lord Ji has woken up."
"Really?"
"Lord Ji is fine."
He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"You may leave."
"Yes."
The young eunuch left.
Liu Ze hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, now that Lord Ji is fine, you should …"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
"I'm not tired." He walked to the table and sat down. He let out a long sigh and rested his head on his hand.
Liu Ze had been by his side for half a year. As a servant, he knew what the Emperor was thinking.
He did not want power or beauties.
He only wanted Lord Ji!
However, he knew that a loose tongue could cause trouble, but he never said it out loud.
Seeing that the Emperor was resting, he silently retreated.
The entire palace hall was silent.
Wei Yi could not close his eyes. His mind was a mess, as if many things were colliding with each other.
He let out a long sigh.
Suddenly, he remembered Mu Jin's words last night.
"Can Your Majesty really let go of the dozens of lives in the Imperial Duke's residence? It was that prince who personally killed your father. He is your enemy, so you should have killed him. "
"Can Your Majesty really let go of the dozens of lives in the Imperial Duke's residence? It was that prince who personally killed your father. He is your enemy, so you should have killed him. "
… …
The voice kept ringing in his mind.
It became clearer and clearer.
In the end, it gave him a splitting headache.
"Ugh!"
He held his head with both hands, a pained expression on his face.
Even so, the voice did not disperse.
With a wave of his hand, he swept everything on the table to the ground.
Crackling sounds filled the air.
When he got up, he flipped the table in front of him.
His whole body hit the screen behind him and he fell to the ground.
Liu Ze, who had just left the room, immediately came back in. He was shocked by the scene in front of him and rushed to Wei Yi's side.
"Emperor? Your Majesty, what happened to you? "
Wei Yi clutched his head with both hands, his fingers pulling hard at his hair.
That kind of pain went deep into his brain.
"Emperor?"
"Go away!" Wei Yi pushed Liu Ze away. He was sweating from the pain.
Until he fainted.
Liu Ze shouted, "Quick, go get the imperial physician!"
…
The other side.
Mu Jin was escorted to the main hall of the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.
She was already unafraid of death, and there was no fear in her empty eyes.
Kneel on the ground and await his punishment!
The Minister of Justice frowned. He slammed the table and asked, "Let me ask you, were you responsible for the three murders in the capital?"
Get straight to the point!
However, Mu Jin acted as if she didn't hear him and kept her mouth shut.
However, when she was using it, her fingers kept twirling around the hair on her chest.
"This official is asking you a question!"
Haha!
Mu Jin chuckled. She looked up and asked, "How can you be so sure that I'm the murderer? Who saw it? Or did I admit it myself? "
She wouldn't give up until she saw her own coffin!
The Minister of Justice had seen too many people like her. He immediately shot a look at an officer.
The officer nodded and went out for a while. When he came back, he was carrying a bag of items.
Then —
He threw the bag in front of Mu Jin.
He opened the bag. Inside were two sets of clothes, a few pieces of pig skin, some unknown ointment, and a few other random items.
The officer used the knife in his hand to pick up one of the clothes.
It shone in front of everyone. The Minister of Justice pointed at the items on the ground and said to Mu Jin, "These were found at your place. Those pieces of pig skin are the tools you used to commit the crime." He then pointed at the clothes that the officer had picked up with the knife. "Look at this one. Is it missing a button?
Yes! "
Indeed, it was missing a button.
"You definitely didn't expect that when you killed Xing Xiyang, one of the buttons on his clothes fell off, and it just so happened to be in his shoe. Furthermore, your accomplices have already pleaded guilty. In addition to what you did to Lord Ji last night, I can convict you."
"Haha." Mu Jin's deep eyes darkened. She said coldly, "A bunch of useless things."
"What did you say?"
"I said …" She smiled strangely. "You're all useless things."
The Minister of Justice was so angry that his face turned green.
The woman kneeling on the ground smiled even more brilliantly.
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to spout nonsense. This official will ask you one last time. Do you admit it? Or not? "
Mu Jin tilted her head and said without hesitation, "I admit it!"
She admitted it!
"Then why did you kill him?"
"For fun."
"Tell me the truth."
"The truth is …" She said, "I just thought it was fun. I killed for fun. I wanted to see how smart that Teacher Ji of yours was. I wanted to see if she could find me. But it turned out that she was just like you – useless things. "
"You …" Although the Minister of Justice did not believe her, he had no choice but to restrain his anger. "If that's the case, then tell me everything about your crime."
"Understand?" she said. "Didn't that Lord Ji of yours already explain everything clearly? Didn't he tell me how I killed him and when I killed him? I wonder … what else does Lord Ji want to hear from me? "
Indeed, Ji Yunshu had told him all the details of the case.
But …
"Jiao Shiniang and Xing Xiyang's cases are clear, but what about Zhao Zhiwen? How did you kill him? Where did he go after he left Wenlai Pavilion that night? What happened between the hours of 'xu' and 'zi'? Tell me the truth! "
Mu Jin raised her eyebrows and raised her chin. "Zhao Zhiwen's death has nothing to do with me! Don't force it on me. I won't admit to this groundless accusation! "
"You're still trying to deny it?"
"I'm already a dead man. What else do I not dare to admit? If I killed him, I won't deny it. But if I didn't kill him, don't try to push it on me. "
Huh?
The Minister of Justice was puzzled.
Logically speaking, Mu Jin had already admitted to her crime. Why didn't she admit to killing Zhao Zhiwen?
Mu Jin suddenly reminded him, "Lord Ji, you should ask Lord Ji. Perhaps … she already knows who killed Zhao Zhiwen."
"What do you mean?"
She clicked her tongue a few times and looked up at the ceiling of the Ministry of Justice's main hall.
She laughed eerily.
She began to sing that tune.
