Chapter 14: Discovering Dong Ce

The queen asked three questions in one breath, and everyone's eyes were locked on the palace maid in charge. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The palace maid in charge replied calmly: "Niangniang forgive the sin, the slave maid went to investigate the blue brick mechanism on the wall of the back gate of the Hehuan Palace, and walked through the harem gate of the Hehuan Palace, and only saw two or three palace maids who were sprinkled and swept at the harem gate, and I didn't know it...... Crimson kills herself. ”

A simple statement, but the connection between Crimson's suicide and her going to the Hehuan Hall was completely cleared.

is worthy of being the first person in front of the queen, just by virtue of her tacit understanding with the queen, the position of the first person belongs to her.

Gu Yuqing looked at the palace maid and the queen mother singing perfectly with each other, and sighed in her heart.

The queen stared at the palace maid in charge and was silent for a moment, and said: "You are walking through the back door, Crimson has always served in the front hall, although it is the same area of the Hehuan Palace, but the front hall of the back door is far away, it is normal for you not to know, what a crime." ”

After that, the queen swept her sleeves, signaled the palace maid in charge to step back, and her sharp eyes fell on the Tsing Yi palace maid who was huddled on the ground, and said sharply: "You say, what is the relationship between you and Crimson! But as the fourth prince said, Crimson instructed you to murder Concubine Hui?"

The palace maid in Tsing Yi turned gray, and her voice trembled: "The slave maid has no connection with Crimson, and the instructions given to the slave maid are all through the blue brick mechanism at the harem gate, and Crimson has not instructed the slave or maid to do anything." The slave maid is just the sprinkler of the Hehuan Palace, and she rarely has the opportunity to talk to Crimson. ”

The words of the palace maid in Tsing Yi made this seemingly clear case a little confusing.

If she was indeed instructed by Crimson, then the case could be understood with Crimson's suicide.

It's just a case of an attempt to harm a master.

But at this time, she was not instructed by Crimson, and Crimson did hide the poisonous mushroom that murdered Concubine Hui, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive.

So who is the person who instructed this palace maid in Tsing Yi?

There was a lot of speculation in everyone's minds.

"Niangniang, the son came in late, there is something I don't know, what did this palace maid do, and how did it have anything to do with this poisonous porridge case?" Xiao Duo pointed to the palace maid in Tsing Yi on the ground, and asked the queen mother respectfully, full of doubts.

Gu Yuqing turned her eyes to look at the queen mother.

The appearance of crimson has basically plucked Xiao Jingyu from this matter, at this time the queen has no anxiety and worry in her heart, her graceful and luxurious face has just the right emotion, the warm spring sun hits her face through the sparse branches and leaves, and the jumping spots of light add a bit of charm to her.

Although Xiao Duo asked the queen directly, but her mother was present, so naturally the queen didn't need to tell him what had just happened.

"Someone saw her sneakily probing her brain at the door of the imperial dining room early this morning, and there was this poisonous porridge incident, so naturally she was brought in for interrogation. Concubine Shu glanced at the palace maid in Tsing Yi who was kneeling on the ground, and said to her son Xiao Duo.

Who knew that she was brought in, and before she could start the interrogation, a note hidden in her sleeve fell, and it was clearly written on the note that asked her to lure away the mother-in-law who was cooking porridge for Concubine Hui. ”

As Concubine Shu's voice gradually rose, the body of the palace maid in Tsing Yi trembled more and more.

Hui Guifei's voice fell, Xiao Duo pointed at the palace maid and said sharply: "You only said that you have never seen the person who instructed you, but as a palace person of the Hehuan Palace, why do you have to obey the orders of others? When did you start to work for the person who gave you orders through the blue brick mechanism, and what have you done for her?"

The palace maid in Tsing Yi shrank her shoulders and cried loudly: "The slave maid is not willing, she captured the slave's younger brother as a hostage, if the slave maid does not listen to her, she will send the slave's younger brother to Biyuexuan as a guest child." ”

Bigetsuken, the largest brothel in Kyoto.

The handsome seven or eight-year-old children accompanying the guests are a new feature there, attracting many rich children to go to the court.

"At the end of last year, when the slave maid was sprinkling snow at the back door of the Hehuan Palace, she picked up a note on the ground, on which the birth date and name of the slave maid's younger brother were clearly written, as well as the specific location of the slave maid's house. ”

The note clearly stated that the slave maid should act for her, otherwise she sent the slave's younger brother to Biyuexuan, and asked the slave to give an answer within three days. ”

"The slave maid is only the younger brother of the same mother...... recalling the past, the palace maid in Tsing Yi cried silently.

Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Duo's expression silently.

Sure enough, when the palace maid in Tsing Yi mentioned Biyuexuan and Xiaotong, the corners of Xiao Duo's eyebrows trembled.

In the previous life, he had spent too much time with Xiao Duo, and Gu Yuqing naturally knew that whenever Xiao Duo was flustered and lost his mind, the corners of his eyebrows would tremble.

"What shady things have you done for that person?" Xiao Yu, who was silent with his arms crossed, asked when the voice of the palace maid in Tsing Yi fell, with some sympathy in his voice that was not deliberately hidden.

The palace maid in Tsing Yi raised her hand and wiped a handful of tears on her face, and said with red and swollen eyelids: "The slave maid gave the man an answer at noon on the third day, and since then, the slave maid will go to the green brick organ at the harem gate every day to check, but it has failed again and again. ”

"It wasn't until early this morning that the slave maid got the first note. ”

The sad and earnest voice of the palace maid in Tsing Yi fell, and Gu Yuqing saw that the auspicious person she sent to send Dong Ce back to Qihuang Pavilion flickered outside the brocade shed.

"This is the first task received?" Xiao Duo looked at the palace maid in Tsing Yi with a blank face, and looked at her with a dark look in his eyes.

The palace maid in Tsing Yi couldn't stand Xiao Duo's aura, her body trembled, and she replied quietly: "Yes." ”

Gu Yuqing saw that Xiao Duo breathed a sigh of relief on his face.

Want to breathe a sigh of relief?

Looking across Xiao Duo's face, Gu Yuqing got up and said to the queen: "Niangniang, this person can not only arbitrarily arrange organs at the palace gate of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to win people's hearts, but also take hostages outside the palace, it can be seen that the identity is extraordinary, Niangniang might as well ask the female official to take the note in the hand of this palace maid to compare the handwriting, maybe there is something to gain." ”

It is a matter of Xiao Jingyu's safety and innocence, Gu Yuqing knows that the queen will definitely agree.

"It's still thoughtful. The queen smiled and said, and ordered the palace maid in charge of Fang Cai, "Take this note, let people compare the handwriting, and summon all the female officials on duty today to the palace." ”

The palace maid in charge took the order, and when she went out, the people in the other palace hurried in and passed by the palace maid in charge.

"Why are you so alarmed?" asked the Queen, frowning.

I muttered in my heart, what's going on today, how things are going on one after another.

As soon as the palace people who came to pay their respects entered the brocade shed, they knelt straight in front of the queen, looked at Concubine Hui's face, and opened their mouths to say: "Niangniang, when the slave maid passed by the Qihuang Pavilion, she met Dong Shizi, and it looked like she had been drugged. ”

With her words, Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Duo intently.

Dong Ce was clearly sent by him to Mingyuxuan near Qihuang Pavilion, why did he return to Qihuang Pavilion?

Xiao Duo's tense face showed his uneasy heart, and his left hand on the desk couldn't help but pick up the blue and white porcelain wine glass in his hand, and squeezed it tightly in his hand, with clear joints.
