Imperial.

After a light rain, the pond is full of lotus flowers, and there is a faint fragrance along the air into the nose, which makes people feel a little more uplifted.

Xiao Che stood outside the railing with his hands in his hands, looking at the birds in the distance, his expression focused.

"Your Majesty," the old eunuch in black slowly approached, and stopped talking.

"What?"

The black-clothed old eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "The three spiritual officials said that the murderer was "unknown" in last night's incident, and the clue arrived at the Qingqiu Lake in His Majesty's harem and was broken. ”

Xiao Che turned around, looked at him and said, "What do you mean by that?"

At this time, a beautiful female voice sounded.

"Your Excellency the Emperor, after the three of us investigated, we found that it was an unknown third-order "giant corpse" that committed the murder last night, and we followed his tracks all the way, and finally found that he had entered the harem. ”

Xiao Che and the black-clothed old eunuch followed the prestige and found Tang Wanyi's figure slowly emerging from behind the two.

"Lord Tang. The old eunuch in black hurriedly saluted.

Tang Wanyi waved her hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Che with a serious expression: "This 'ominous' got into Qingqiu Lake, just a bridge away from Your Excellency's bedroom. If you don't get rid of it in time, I'm afraid it will endanger your life. ”

"Therefore, after the three of us discussed, it was decided that I would enter the harem to investigate. After all, I'm a daughter, so everything will be much easier. ”

After a pause, a hint of brilliance flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said softly: "Your Excellency the Emperor won't disagree, right?"

Xiao Che turned his head, looked directly at her inquiring gaze, did not dodge or dodge, and said, "How come? Miss Tang is willing to share my worries, how can I not allow it?"

"The girl can do it expediently. ”

"Okay, thank you for your understanding. After Tang Wanyi saluted again, she disappeared in place.

Not long after she left, the old eunuch in black also retreated, and Xiao Che's face gradually sank.

He lowered his voice and muttered to himself into the air, "Send someone to follow her." ”

......

Qingqiu Lake.

This is the most beautiful artificial lake in the huge royal garden, with nearly 100 species of koi fish in the lake, and the lake water is turquoise and clear, and there is no bottom.

When the concubines of the harem relieve boredom and throw fish on weekdays, most of them will come here, sprinkle a handful of fish food, and the hundred carp compete for food, the color is different, which can be described as a great wonder in the palace.

"The east wind is incomprehensible, and it is easy not to destroy ......"

A slender hand raised and sprinkled a handful of fish food towards Qingqiu Lake. She is a fair-skinned woman with beautiful eyes and grievances.

The woman was wearing a purple Luo skirt, looking no more than twenty years old, and she was looking at the lake and feeling sorry for herself.

"Concubine Lin," a woman in a yellow dress dressed as a maid walked up and draped a white brocade robe over her, "It's cold by the lake." ”

The woman in the purple dress did not look back, still looking at her reflection in the water, reading the verses that she had heard from nowhere.

Tang Wanyi stood outside the pavilion and looked at this beautiful concubine with interest.

Half a day.

Only then did she take the initiative to appear and said softly, "Concubine Lin." ”

The beautiful woman known as "Concubine Lin" turned around, and when she saw that it was her, her face was sad, and she said with a smile: "Sister Wanyi." ”

She walked over and grabbed Tang Wanyi's hand and said, "Why did my sister come to the harem, Your Majesty...... Does he know?"

Tang Wanyi nodded and said, "Last night, there was an "ominous" in the palace as a disaster, and after we investigated, we found that the "ominous" burrowed into Qingqiu Lake and disappeared, and the emperor also knew about it. ”

Hearing these words, Concubine Lin suddenly lost her complexion, and she couldn't care about Gu Ying's self-pity anymore, but couldn't help but stay away from the lake again.

"This ...... Is this true? There is an "unknown" in the harem?" Concubine Lin asked in a low voice.

Tang Wanyi took off the light veil covering her face, revealing a cheek as delicate as a flower, with fair skin and starry eyes like autumn water, which made people unforgettable at first sight. In particular, these eyes have a unique look of a spirit people, which raises her whole temperament even more.

Concubine Lin is also a beauty who is one in a hundred, but compared with Tang Wanyi, she still loses a first-class temperament.

Tang Wanyi gently stroked the green silk on her forehead behind her ear and said, "Well, it's a "giant corpse". But don't worry, I'll get rid of it. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the calm surface of the lake and said, "It's not time yet, we'll have to wait until later." ”

After a pause, Tang Wanyi turned her head to look at Concubine Lin, and asked casually, "Emperor, haven't you come to visit you for a long time?"

Concubine Lin's expression darkened when she heard this, her moist eyes overflowed with bitterness, and she smiled forcefully: "Why did my sister say that?"

Tang Wanyi said: "I just heard you chanting a poem, that poem seems to be written by the little poet saint "Liu Yi" of your human race, it should be some thoughts of a woman guarding the empty window alone, right?"

Hearing Tang Wanyi's analysis so thoroughly, Concubine Lin couldn't help blushing, and said coquettishly: "I just chanted casually, I never thought of it in my sister's ears, which made my sister smile." ”

"What's so funny about this?" Tang Wanyi waved her hand, looked at her cheeks, which were even more delicate because of the flush, and said, "The emperor is willing to let a lovely person like you spend the night alone, does it mean that you have a new love?"

Concubine Lin shook her head and couldn't help but explain: "It's not that I have a new love, but that Your Majesty hasn't been to the harem for a long time." Not only on my side, but also the queen mother, who can't see His Majesty. ”

"Oh?" Tang Wanyi's beautiful eyes showed a hint of color, "Since he doesn't accompany you, where will he sleep that night?"

Concubine Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard from the prince of the celebrant that His Majesty has been sleeping in the Shangshu room all these days, and the state affairs are busy, so it's no wonder that Your Majesty." ”

"Shang Shufang?"

Tang Wanyi nodded thoughtfully, no longer asked, but set her eyes on the bottom of the lake, as if she wanted to see through the Qingqiu Lake in front of her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Concubine Lin also closed her mouth at the right time and looked at Qingqiu Lake with her.

Moment.

"One, two, three...... There are fourteen in total," Tang Wanyi whispered to herself, "Hey, there is no nest to raise corpses?"

Listening to the muttered words that came out of her mouth, Concubine Lin couldn't help but ask with some doubts, "Sister Wanyi, what fourteen bodies?"

Tang Wanyi turned her head and showed a kind smile to her: "I mean, at the bottom of this Qingqiu Lake, there are a total of fourteen corpses. Three of them must have sunk not long ago, and the other eleven have been reduced to corpses. Nine of them are the bones of women, and the remaining five are eunuchs in your palace. ”

"What?" Concubine Lin's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at Qingqiu Lake with an incredulous gaze.

Thinking of the time when Gu Ying felt sorry for herself on the surface of the lake just now, there were so many corpses at the bottom of the lake looking at her, and a feeling of disgust surged up from her throat irrepressibly.
