Fang Ai returned to her lodgings, restless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Sure enough, as soon as the evening passed, Fu Ruhai came.

"You lost that book, and the Queen Mother was very unhappy. "Fu Ruhai is straightforward.

Of course, Fang Ai knew that the Queen Mother would be unhappy, and the matter had come to this point, so she tried her best to excuse herself: "It's just a book, and there are many books in the library in the palace." ”

Fu Ruhai heard her say so lightly, and was furious: "You know what kind of book it is, and you still say these cool words, I don't think you want to live anymore." ”

Fu Ruhai has always spoken slowly and leisurely, but Fang Ai felt a cold wind coming from the back of his neck, he knew this person's methods too well, and said without losing the position: "The book has been lost, and I don't want to, but fortunately, the book was lost by me, no one will suspect the Queen Mother, and no one knows what kind of book it is." ”

Fu Ruhai was so angry that he pointed at her with a whisk, and finally shook it hard: "The emperor has asked about this matter, do you think this will be a trivial matter." ”

What he didn't say is that the book is used by the Queen Mother to balance the emperor's bargaining chip, once the emperor is unfavorable to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother can use this book to blackmail, that is the ugly thing of the Yuwen family, it is expected that Yuwenyou must not want this ugly thing to be made public, and now the book is gone, the Queen Mother has no trump card in her hand, and there is no life-saving blade.

Angry, I found that it was useless, and it was extremely difficult to recover the book, and the plan for now is to minimize the harm, that is, it is absolutely impossible to let people know that Fang Ai stayed in Beiyuan to save the book for the Queen Mother, so Fu Ruhai took out a dagger, took advantage of Fang Ai's inattention, and stabbed her heart, and then looked at Fang Ai's stunned eyes, he said lightly: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother will take care of your daughter for you." ”

Without even saying a word, Fang Ai fell to the ground and died.

Furu took out the dagger at an elevation, took out a handkerchief embroidered with an oleander pattern and wiped the blood on it, and then threw the handkerchief on Fang Ai's body, and went out of the room to take a shortcut back to Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother was reading a book, and when she saw him returning, she didn't raise her head and said, "Is it done?"

Fu Ruhai pinched the dagger in his sleeve: "Kill with a knife." ”

The Queen Mother continued to flip through the book and sighed: "This is also a risky move, it will attract the attention of the emperor, but there is really no way, it is too early to extinguish it, the mourning family is afraid that this Fang Ai will shake everything out sooner or later." ”

Fu Ruhai agreed: "The Queen Mother is very worried, and this is not a bad way to make up for the dead." ”

While the two of them were talking, Fang Ai walked in, holding a birdcage in her hand, which contained a clever starling, and asked the Queen Mother: "Where to hang it, it's too noisy in the room, and it's too cold outside." ”

The Queen Mother had a gloomy face, and did not answer her words, but said with a little displeasure: "You, give some movement when you come in the future, quietly, and scare people to death." ”

Fang Ai came in quietly like this and not once or twice, the Queen Mother said, Fang Ai is the person around her, in and out every day I don't know how many times, a strong Shi Li asked An is too troublesome, so Fang Ai and Fu Ruhai are allowed to enter and exit freely without reporting, this time to the Queen Mother reprimanded, Fang Ai is busy compensating is not: "It's all the slave and maid who are distracted, just looking at this little beast, and the slave and maid will remember it in the future." ”

The Queen Mother's displeasure was because she was afraid that Fang Cai's conversation with Fu Ruhai would be heard by her, and she suddenly found that her attitude was a little abrupt, so she hurriedly changed her tone and said: "I was a thief last night, and I was not sure, so I was all soldiers." ”

Fang Yi smiled: "Lafayette don't worry, Shoukang Palace is not comparable to Beiyuan, there are many guards, and even a fly can't fly in." ”

The Queen Mother looked frightened: "That is the case, the thief can break into the palace is not an idle person, if he wants to come to Shoukang Palace to steal, people fly the eaves and walk the wall, and the guards can do nothing." ”

Fang Ai put the bird cage on the table casually, and then stroked the queen mother's heart and said: "It's funny, that thief is really stupid, he is not familiar with the palace, he actually ran to Beiyuan, probably nothing valuable was stolen, so he stole this Buddhist scripture in anger, Amitabha, I hope that the thief will go back and take a good look at the Buddhist scriptures, and from then on put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, which is also a beautiful talk." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Fang Ai, seeing that she had no abnormal look, her expression and tone were what she usually should have, the Queen Mother was slightly relieved, she should not have heard Fang Cai's conversation, but as soon as she mentioned the book, the Queen Mother was shocked, for fear that Yu Wenyou would find out about her.

In order to adjust the atmosphere, Fu Ruhai joked: "You always think of bad things as good things, no wonder you have a wide heart and a fat body, and you are getting plump day by day." ”

Fang Ai is a good person, others joked about her, not only was she angry, but also added: "Father-in-law Fu is laughing at me for having no heart and lungs." ”

Fu Ruhai giggled and couldn't stop laughing.

Fang Ai also smiled, and the Queen Mother laughed with her, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the Queen Mother's mood was also relaxed.

The Queen Mother looked at Fang Ai and nodded.

Fang Ai went out and called the palace maid, and took her in to see the queen mother, and the palace maid saw the queen mother in a hurry, and said in a panic: "Lafayette is not good, a palace maid died in Beiyuan, saying that it is related to the queen, and now the queen has invited to the Zongren Mansion." ”

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother Yu Furuhai looked at her, and then frowned and exclaimed: "What can you do if all of you are dead in a place like Beiyuan, why let the queen go to the Zongren Mansion?"

The palace maid who came in continued: "I heard that the murderer left evidence, which is a handkerchief embroidered with oleander. ”

As we all know, oleanders are planted all over the palace in the Kunhuan Palace of Queen Chu, and the queen's clothes also like to embroider oleanders, so the handkerchief as evidence is something that everyone thinks of as Queen Chu, Zhu Yuanyu did not dare to interrogate Queen Chu, so he asked Yu Wenyou, and the Zongren Mansion came forward to invite Queen Chu to come over, and the interrogation did not dare, just to ask about the handkerchief.

The Queen Mother pressed her temples: "You can't stop all day, change the clothes of the mourning family, and go to the Zongren Mansion." ”

Fang Ai called in a few palace maids, dressed neatly for the queen mother, prepared a sedan chair, and came to the Zongren Mansion at night.

As soon as the Queen Mother arrived, all the people inside came out to take over and invited the Queen Mother to sit inside, and Queen Chu also came over to give a salute and said: "It's so late, why did you alarm Lafayette, it's all the concubines, if it's not for the concubines who like to raise oleanders, if it's not for the concubines who like to embroider oleanders on their clothes, how can they make a big fuss for people." ”

The Queen Mother pretended to be stunned and looked at Yu Wenxi: "The death of a palace maid, why does the queen be involved in the first place?

Yuwen said respectfully: "The queen mother doesn't know, the palace maid who died in Beiyuan is the palace maid who lost the Buddhist scriptures, and the palace maid left a handkerchief on her body tonight, and the handkerchief is embroidered with an oleander, everyone in the palace knows that oleander is almost the exclusive property of the queen, so I invited the queen to just ask." ”
