"Niangniang!" Meng Guiyu's expression was gloomy, his eyes were also red, and he stepped forward to hug his fists and said, "After the minister learned that the concubine Niangniang and the attendants were missing, he couldn't believe that the concubine Niangniang had an accident! At this time, I listened to the water master's announcement that there was a ...... floating in Chunbo Lake There were a lot of people who floated, all dressed as palace people, and the leaders were even more luxuriously dressed, and the ministers were ...... The minister's 110,000 hopes are mistaken!"

Kechen went to the shore of the lake and saw this garnet red dress with his own eyes...... The minister remembered that two days ago, I saw the concubine Niangniang passing through the ......"

"This must be a who stole the robe of the sister of the palace!! Shu Zhaoyi covered her mouth and desperately found a reason, "And those palace people who floated up from the lake must be in the same group as the person who stole the sister's robe! Otherwise, where could I get my sister's things?! This is definitely not my sister! You hurry up and look for it again! Sister...... Sister She ...... She's probably hidden by the gangsters!!"

"You tell those bad people, as long as you let your sister come back, the palace will agree to any conditions...... Hongu ...... And Your Majesty!"

She turned her head with tears on her face, grabbed Emperor Xuanjing's arm, and asked in a choked voice, "Is it Your Majesty?"

Emperor Xuanjing looked at her embarrassed, although this son of heaven has been addicted to wine for many years, and since he was over half a hundred years old, the royal body has been deteriorating, after the palace change that night, he almost never stopped the medicine to help the recreation, and he became more and more overdrawn in his vitality, so that at this time, he was forcibly poured a sober decoction by Zhaoyi, although he seemed to be sitting there with a clear mind, but his cheeks were abnormally flushed, revealing the weakness of the strong outside and the middle dry.

However, after all, he is the lord of a country, and before he met the Shu sisters, he was also expected by the whole world.

From the messy corpse below, he had already recognized that this was his charming concubine before his death.

He is familiar with Shu Guifei, how can Shu Zhaoyi, who grew up with Shu Guifei, not be familiar?

Today's denial is nothing more than an inability to accept the facts.

"Zhaoyi ......" Emperor Xuanjing looked at Shu Zhaoyi's hysterical appearance, hesitated for a while, and finally said distressedly, "This is indeed the noble concubine, you see the string of golden phoenixes on the arm picking up the string of golden stacked coral beads, two days ago, I asked someone to take something from the warehouse, and brought it to your sisters by the way." You let the concubine pick first, the concubine chose the golden phoenix to pick the gold stacked coral beads, after bringing it is too big, afraid that it will fall if you are not careful, you called the craftsman on the spot to intercept a section, and the rest was just stuck on the wrist, at that time I also joked with the concubine, saying that the concubine changed the size of the bracelet so harshly, if you are tired of bringing it back, when you want to take it off, you have to call the craftsman again to ...... This bracelet is good now, this is obviously ......"

"This must be the craftsman who modified the bracelet for my sister who kidnapped my sister!" Shu Zhaoyi hurriedly said, "He snatched his sister's bracelet and brought it to his accomplice, and then his accomplice died......"

When she said this, she was choked up and speechless, and she couldn't help but raise her sleeves to hide her face and cry!

Emperor Xuanjing hurriedly grabbed her and comforted her in a low voice.

After a while, Shu Zhaoyi collected her emotions, raised her teary eyes, stared at her sister who had long been out of human form under the Danqi, and whimpered: "Clean up for my sister...... Hongu ...... Hongu will go to see my sister later!"

Holding back tears, he said to Emperor Xuanjing, "Your Majesty, let's go back, the concubine wants to stay quietly for a while!"

Emperor Xuanjing was looking at her with pity, and he was unacceptable when he heard it.

After standing up, he remembered and hurriedly explained to Meng Guiyu: "Thoroughly investigate the cause of the concubine's death, no matter who did it, I will not spare it!"

Meng Guiyu lowered his head and bowed respectfully: "Minister, obey the command!"

After sending Emperor Xuanjing and Shu Zhaoyi away, he ordered someone, "Find a side hall to set up the mourning hall, hurry up, lest you wait for Zhaoyi to come and see the concubine, and find that nothing has been done, and it will become more and more uncomfortable." ”

"Great Commander, the concubine Niangniang is like this...... "Hearing this, some of his subordinates came over and whispered for instructions, "I'm afraid that the ordinary Zi coffin can't fit at all!

Meng Guiyu said: "There are forests in the Shanglin Garden, and it is enough to ask the craftsmen who know carpentry to make a larger one temporarily." ”

The subordinate said: "But the wood of the coffin must be dried and processed again and again before it can be started, and it will take many days before it can be completed." Otherwise, it won't last long after the burial!"

"If it is a custom-made coffin, even if it takes a little more time, I think it is reasonable, but Zhaoyi Niangniang, will you be satisfied with this answer?" Meng Guiyu asked calmly.

The subordinates were stunned, and then lowered their heads and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice!"

Shanglin Yuan because it is a royal garden, close to Chang'an, since the founding of the country, the royal family will come to live every three or five times, plus this is where the forbidden army is, all kinds of materials have been hoarded. So at this time, it is said that it is because Chang'an is occupied by King Gaomi and confronts each other, so everything is inconvenient, but most of the things are still very rich.

At this time, Meng Guiyu commanded a little, and the forbidden army and the palace people found a side hall with a suitable location, and arranged the mourning hall with their hands and feet.

Because Concubine Shu has been soaking in the lake for too long, it has swelled, and the ordinary coffin can't be put down, so at this time, on the one hand, people can do it, but on the other hand, they can only tear down the door panels of the two side rooms, and use a few cases to erect them, and teach this concubine Niangniang, who enjoyed all the luxury during her lifetime, to save for the time being.

After the incense burner was placed, Meng Guiyu took the lead in pouring incense to pay tribute, and then he put down his hand, and listened to the sound of greetings behind him, it was Shu Zhaoyi who came over.

Meng Guiyu turned around and saw Shu Zhaoyi, who had a plain white face and most of the hairpin rings, crossing the threshold expressionlessly.

Not long after she went back with Emperor Xuanjing, she had already changed into plain clothes and plain skirts, and even the impatiens juice that was dyed on her fingertips was puffed layer after layer, trying her best to cover up the original bright color.

At this moment, he glanced at Meng Guiyu, turned his eyes and saw the incense burner in front of him, and did not make a sound, only walked towards the incense burner.

Meng Guiyu hurriedly got out of the way, and asked someone to hand over the brocade pad with a look in his eyes.

Shu Zhaoyi knelt down to worship the incense, closed his eyes as if praying silently for a moment, got up, swept his eyes left and right, and ordered: "You all go out, this palace has something to ask Chongxin Hou alone!"

After clearing the scene, leaving only the henchman palace maid standing behind, she lowered her face and looked at Meng Guiyu, "Our sister persuaded His Majesty to promote you exceptionally, because you have always been loyal and cautious in doing things! As a result, you have only been in the position of the Grand Commander for a few days, and my sister has ...... Just ......"

Although the reputation of the Shu sisters inside and outside is not very good, but they have a real sisterhood with each other, Shu Zhaoyi said this, she almost couldn't hold back her tears and wanted to cry on the spot, pinching her palms hard, before holding back her emotions, and continued to question Meng Guiyu, "How did you defend this?!, or do you think that you are already in power, and our sisters have no use value, so they can die?!"

Shu Zhaoyi didn't know that she had unintentionally told the truth, she actually didn't suspect Meng Guiyu much.

Because although she knew that her sisters' attitude towards Meng Guiyu was not very good, she thought that she was Meng Guiyu's strongest and only backer, and from the perspective of interests, Meng Guiyu shouldn't have turned her face with them, right?

So at this time, the number of things will be counted, and I will listen to Meng Guiyu's explanation, saying that it is because of the constant movements of King Gaomi during this time, either sending people to attack or sending people to harass him, he is tired of coping, so he didn't notice what happened to Concubine Shu, and then he will definitely investigate it well, and give Concubine a fair ...... The faint doubts in Shu Zhaoyi's heart disappeared.

But he still lied: "Two days ago, when my sister rotated with the palace, she also told the palace that it was not a good idea to let His Majesty live in Shanglin Yuan all the time. Especially after the end of summer and the autumn, Chang'an is getting colder and colder day by day, and now it is a good place to cool off, but it is damp and cold at that time, how can it be suitable to continue to be the place where the Son of Heaven is bed......? How can you not know anything?!"

Meng Guiyu raised his eyes and said in surprise: "Niangniang! The minister dares to swear that the minister has never received a summons from the noble concubine Niangniang! Otherwise, even if the minister has something important, he will definitely rush to Qiongxue Palace to meet the noble concubine Niangniang and listen to the teachings!"

He asked solemnly, "Niangniang, can you remember, did the concubine Niangniang say when to summon the ministers? If you remember, you can't say, this can determine the time of the concubine's death, so as to investigate the people who have approached Qiongxue Palace recently, and determine the real murderer!"

Shu Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, it was a trick, and immediately put down the doubts about him, and thought about it seriously: "I said that my sister planned to summon him, just to test whether he was suspicious! In fact, my sister never said such things to me...... In the past few days, my sister and I have been very tired because His Majesty has been taking medicine every day to help him have fun. In particular, my sister fell off the deck on Lake Chunba two years ago, and she fell into some chronic illnesses, and it was more difficult for her to cope with them than me......"

"According to my sister's habit, after serving His Majesty that evening, after returning to Qiongxue Palace, the first thing must be to bathe and change clothes. ”

And in order to relieve her fatigue, Concubine Shu is estimated to soak in the bath for an hour or two, and even the food will be brought to her mouth by the palace people.

"The garnet red dress that my sister wore when she was killed was not tied very seriously, but it was the style that she planned to place immediately after she went out of the bath in the past, and tied it casually...... So, she was killed in the middle of the time after she got out of the bath and hadn't fallen asleep?!"

Shu Zhaoyi thought of this, looked at Meng Guiyu's eyes and changed, and said in a deep voice: "Bengong thought about it carefully, the tie of my sister's dress is very casual, generally speaking, at this time, only people who are very familiar with me ask to see her, and my sister will show up like this!"

Her gaze suddenly sharpened, "And since the rebellion of the rebel Wang Rongjing, our sisters' relatives are all in Chang'an City, and there is no one who has been able to escape into Shanglin Yuan!"

"In the huge garden at this time, the only one who can let my sister greet me at will like this is except for Your Majesty and the main palace, only you !!"

"And after the palace found out that my sister and her attendants were missing, it was you who found my sister back...... Such a big Shanglin Garden, where can you not hide people, so many forbidden troops have dispersed, why did you find it so quickly?!"

"Chongxinhou, you say it again: you don't know anything about your sister's accident?!"
