Chapter 126: Qirou's Death

However, there was not a single movement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Mother Li slowly approached the curtain under my gaze, raised her hand to open it, and Su'er also went up to help, and soon, the water-green curtain was tied on both sides, and a carved pear wood bed came into view, and there was a person lying on the bed.

The man had his back to us, and judging by his size, it should be Qirou.

Mother Li looked at me carefully, stepped forward cautiously, and called again: "Qirou!" ”

The person lying on the bed remained motionless, as if he had slept too deeply.

Mother Li shook her head helplessly, reached out and poked, her voice a little angry, "Qirou, hurry up, the princess has something to find you!" ”

However, the person still lay there with his back to him, without a trace of reaction.

Mother Li was really angry when she saw this, and she shouted: "Qirou! Then he rolled up his sleeves and was about to move over Qirou's body.

As Mother Li exerted her strength, Qirou's body stiffened and fell over, and then only heard a scream of Mother Li's "Ah ......", and ran down from the window in fright, muttering in her mouth: "Dead man, dead man!" ”

Seeing Li's mother react like this, I frowned slightly, raised my eyes and looked at the bed, this look didn't matter, I almost threw up.

Su'er also screamed "ah" and covered her face in fright.

I saw that the woman on the bed had been dead for a long time, and her face had festered so that her flesh and blood were blurred, and she was so distorted that she couldn't see her original appearance clearly, and her eyes widened, staring at the roof in a strange posture.

I felt sick to my stomach and retched as I leaned on the table.

Li's mother was already frightened by the scene in front of her.

It took a long time for Su'er to bring the hands that blocked her face, hid by my side, and called in a trembling voice: "Princess......"

I vomited for a while, but I couldn't vomit anything, so I endured the nausea, opened the window of the room for ventilation, and poured the air into the room.

"Someone!" I raised my voice.

Hearing my voice, the turtle slave who was guarding the door quickly entered the house, and asked from a distance, "What does the princess command?" ”

I pointed to the corpse on the bed and whispered, "What's going on?" ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, took a few steps closer and took a look, and immediately changed their faces, trembling with fright, knelt down with a plop, and stammered: "Small, small people don't know." ”

I turned cold and asked in a deep voice, "You two have been guarding the door and never leaving?" ”

"Yes, the princess explained, the little ones don't dare to slack off, and they all go to the toilet in turns."

"Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

The two of them thought for a moment, then shook their heads. Then one person said: "The girl is okay this morning, from time to time to run to the door to look, the little one asked her if she is in need, she also ignored the little one, at lunchtime Sister Juan'er came to deliver lunch is fine, the girl used lunch Sister Juan'er hurriedly packed up her things and left, the girl said she was tired, to rest, tell us not to disturb her." ”

I nodded and asked, "Who is Sister Juan'er?" Has anyone else been here but her? ”

"Juan'er is a maid in Qirou's room, and she has been in my Fengxian Building for the longest time, and everyone calls her a sister." Li's mother rushed to answer.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two turtle slaves shook their heads and answered my second question: "No." ”

My face sank, I was just about to come to judge Qi Rou, Qi Rou died, and Yu Enyuan and Yu Zhen'er disappeared, but it was only an hour or two late.

At the moment, it seems that the most suspicious one is this maid named Juan'er, so I asked Li's mother: "Where is Juan'er now?" ”

Mother Li listened to my question, blindly lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, did not answer me, looked embarrassed, and the sweat on her face was denser than before.

"This ......"

I stared at her and exclaimed, "Don't say it yet!" If you delay things, I'm afraid that you can't afford the entire Fengxian Building! ”

Mother Li was so frightened that her chubby body trembled, and then said: "Juan'er came to me to ask for leave after waiting for Qirou to have lunch, saying that the old mother was suddenly sick and needed to go back to her hometown in the countryside. ”

I raised an eyebrow, man, gone! It's too coincidental.

"Do you know where she's from?"

"I came down from Yuncheng Township, and there is indeed an eighty-year-old mother at home, who would not have come to me if she wasn't forced by life." Mother Li replied truthfully.

I looked at it and asked again, and I probably couldn't ask anything, so I asked Li's mother for Juan'er's detailed address, after all, it was a name case, and it was better to hand it over to the Zhizhou Mansion to deal with, so I ordered them to report to the official, and then went out of Fengxian Building and hurriedly went to Deng Yi for help.

The entire Fengdu was under martial law, the city gate was heavily guarded, and wanted notices were posted everywhere, which made people panic, and the common people were also talking about it.

When he found Deng Yi, he was patrolling the north gate, and seeing his frowning appearance, he thought that there was no progress.

Seeing me coming in a hurry, he hurriedly greeted me, "Why is the princess here?" ”

I briefly told the situation on the side of Fengxian Tower, Ouyang Zhi went to investigate the dead man, and he couldn't come back for a while, so I had to ask Deng Yi for help.

After hearing this, Deng Yi's brows tightened even deeper, and he asked, "What does the princess want to do?" ”

"I want to go to Yuncheng to verify the situation, and I have to trouble the general to help me keep an eye on this Juan'er, she may not be out of the city yet."

Deng Yi nodded, and then said, "Why don't I go with the princess!" Although this Yuncheng is not far from Feng, the bandits are serious, and the princess is afraid that it will be inappropriate to go alone. ”

"The general's kindness Lin Xue has taken care of it, but the general needs to take care of it more, so I won't bother the general." I politely rejected him, after all, he has more important things to do, and secondly, I don't want to get too close to this Deng Yi, and thirdly, I just went to inquire about the situation, and I don't think there will be too much difference, and I really don't need to work hard to mobilize the people.

"Okay then." Deng Yi compromised when he heard this, but a trace of imperceptible essence quickly swept in his eyes.

"Then it's hard general, farewell!"

I was just about to leave, but then I was stopped by Deng Yi, "Hey, I don't know when the princess plans to leave, Deng Mou is good to explain to the brothers who are guarding the city." ”

"I'll go back now to report to the emperor, and I guess I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

After I finished speaking, Deng Yi nodded and said, "Okay, princess be careful on the road." ”

"Hmm!" I bowed my head, and then I took Su'er on my horse and galloped all the way to the palace.

At sunset, Su'er and I rushed to Fengyang Palace, and the queen was also there.

The weather has been good and bad these days, and she rarely goes out, and her face doesn't look very good at the moment.

"Changfeng is back?"

I bowed, "Hmm." Is the queen feeling better? ”

"It's still the same, it's not good, it's not bad." The queen smiled lightly, then blessed her body to the imperial brother, and said: "Seeing that the princess is in a hurry, I am afraid that if there is something to discuss with the emperor, the concubine will retire first." ”

The royal brother nodded in response.

As the queen passed by me, she gave me a meaningful look before she walked away.

I looked at her back and was stunned, how did she know that I had something to discuss with the imperial brother? Then she thought that such a big thing happened on this day, she wouldn't know about it, and she didn't think much about it, so she began to talk to the royal brother about going to Fengxian Tower in the afternoon.
