458 Vipers in the Shadows

When Xu Han saw Yu Manman sit down, he couldn't help but show a gentle smile on his face, and turned his head to look at Fu Yuan.

Seeing this, Fleur hurriedly stepped forward to brew another cup of tea below, and carefully served it on the table in front of Yu Manman.

After Fu Hui finished, Xu Han spoke softly to the other palace people standing in the room:

"Get out, all of you. ”

"Yes. The palace people responded respectfully, and then rushed out.

When only Fu Hui and himself were left in the room, Xu Han turned his head to look at Yu Manman, looked at it carefully, and then said distressedly:

"Man'er, you've lost a lot of weight here, haven't you had a hard time in the past few months?"

Hearing this, Yu Manman smiled lightly, glanced at Xuanyuan Haoyi and Yu Luoluo, and then said to Xu Han unhurriedly:

"After encountering an avalanche in the snowy mountains, I fell into a mountain stream and fell unconscious, and I am a wandering ............."

Yu Manman repeated what he said to the General's Mansion and the Feng family, as well as Liu Xuanchen, and by the way, he also said that the "coincidence" met Lu Baile, and Xu Han and Yu Luoluo were embarrassed when they heard it.

After a stick of incense, Yu Manman felt a little dry before stopping, and after lowering his head and taking a sip of tea, he raised his head but saw Xu Han and Yu Luoluo's red eyes, and couldn't help but be startled.

Putting the teacup back on the table, Yu Manman looked at the two and said cautiously:

"Auntie, third sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Manman, my hard-working child, I didn't expect you to suffer so much, I knew that I wouldn't let you go to Xueluo to find Lu Baile in the first place. Xu Han choked up and spoke.

"Yes, big sister, I didn't expect you to have such a difficult journey, but fortunately, I met that Langzhong, otherwise I would ........ now" Yu Luoluo cried speechlessly.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Haoyi was busy coaxing Yu Luoluo in distress.

After hearing this, a trace of helplessness slipped across her face, and she knew that after she said these words, she would attract their embarrassment. But I didn't expect to attract tears, and I have to say that women are really made of water.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Manman still had to think about coaxing them, so he squeezed out a smile and said:

"Auntie, third sister, don't you think I'm doing well now? I've come back safely, so don't worry. ”

Xu Han nodded lightly, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes before speaking:

"What did you say to the crown prince in the East Palace just now?"

"Well, I asked her about the cause of Concubine Liu's death and the fact that he married a side concubine. Yu Manman said lightly.

"Then what did he say?, was Concubine Shu's death really done by the crown prince?" Xu Han hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, a trace of solemnity appeared on Yu Manman's face, shook his head, and then spoke in a deep voice:

"No, according to him, he was led to the Imperial Garden by a small eunuch from Dian Xiyuan, and when he got there, he found that Concubine Liu Shu had died of anger. Then the little eunuch who took him to the Imperial Garden shouted that it was the prince who killed Concubine Liu Shufei and led the patrolling Imperial Guards over. ”

"So it's not Concubine Liu Shu killed by the crown prince?" Xu Han said thoughtfully.

"Oh, mother, how many times have I told you, how could the crown prince and the imperial brother kill Liu Shufei? In the past, the eldest imperial brother did not kill Liu Shufei when he was not imprisoned, and it is even more impossible to kill Liu Shufei after the eldest imperial brother was imprisoned, because he has no need to do that at all. Xuanyuan Haoyi couldn't help but interject.

When Xu Han heard this, he couldn't help glaring at Xuanyuan Haoyi:

"As far as you talk a lot, I'm just guessing, curious about how Concubine Shu's death could have something to do with the crown prince. ”

Yu Manman pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Auntie, I think the real murderer who killed Concubine Liu Shu should have been hiding in Dianxi Garden at that time. ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Haoyi, Yu Luoluo, and Xu Han couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Yu Manman, and several people said in surprise in the same tone:

"How do you know?"

According to the crown prince, at that time, he was led away by the little eunuch of Dianxi Yuan on the grounds that King Ping was in an emergency. And I walked through the imperial garden in the palace before, and found that from Concubine Liu's bedroom, there was another road between the east palace and the prince, and that road happened to lead to the Dianxi Garden. Yu Manman said slowly.

"What about leading to Dianxi Garden? I heard that Concubine Shu was walking in the imperial garden, and when she met the prince, she had a disagreement and had an argument, and then the prince was angry and killed Concubine Shu. Xu Han's eyes slipped with a hint of puzzlement.

After hearing this, Yu Manman shook his head before continuing:

"Auntie, if Concubine Liu and the crown prince are all led by someone, and the place where they met happened to be at the fork in the road leading to Dianxi Garden, it means that the one who can lead them there must be something to do with Xuanyuan Haodi. ”

"Xiao Man, do you mean to say that the eldest brother led his mother concubine to a fork in the road, ordered someone to kill him, and then blamed the crown prince?" Xuanyuan Haoyi opened his mouth in shock.

"This is impossible, and there is no need for King Ping to do this, as we all know, Concubine Liu Shu is very favored, and King Ping just has the power to compete with the prince by virtue of his mother. If the fall of Concubine Shu was not beneficial to King Ping, it would be impossible for King Ping to kill her, not to mention that she was still his biological mother, who would kill his mother with all his conscience?" Yu Manman couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Xu Han and Xuanyuan Haoyi nodded in agreement, and then Xu Han asked:

"Then you said that the murderer is in the Dian Xi Garden, what is going on? If it is not King Ping, who will it be?"

Yu Manman lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then spoke unhurriedly:

"This person can lead Concubine Liu Shufei to Dianxi Garden, there must be something important, and I heard that Concubine Liu died with only one maidservant by her side, which is a bit unreasonable. A high-ranking concubine in the palace, such as your aunt, will inevitably be accompanied by a large group of palace people and eunuchs after traveling. Even if Concubine Liu colluded with Fengli because of her son, but once she didn't make a decision, her identity as a concubine would not change, and she would not only be accompanied by a personal maid when she traveled. ”

"What do you mean, Manman? I kind of understood, and I didn't quite understand. Xu Han was a little dazed.

"Auntie, Concubine Liu Shu only took her personal maid out of Bitong Palace, which means that the person who led her to Dianxi Garden said something urgent, so that she didn't have time to bring a group of people to go, so when she died, there was only one personal maid by her side. Yu Manman said lightly.

"Then what do you think could make Concubine Shu leave the palace in such a hurry, and she walked to the imperial garden without even having time to set up the ceremonial drive?"

"I don't know, maybe I heard that King Ping was infected with an emergency. Yu Manman curled his lips and smiled.

Hearing this, Xu Han and Xuanyuan Haoyi suddenly felt a little frightened, if it was really the people from Dianxi Yuan who led Liu Shufei and the prince away, then this person was simply hiding too deeply, like a poisonous snake hidden in the depths, and it would come out and bite you when people were not paying attention.
