Fleur was in the center, and Su Wan sat quietly by the window in white clothes, looking at Qing'er coming with a decoction.

After taking the medicine and drinking it all, she didn't feel bitter at all.

How many people's bones will you have to step on on this road you want to take? A hundred years from now, who will step on your bones?

"Niangniang, are you in a bad mood today?" Qing'er took the medicine bowl and asked with concern.

Su Wanxi only said: "Prepare an umbrella, I want to go to the Vertical Arch Palace." ”

When she went to bed last night, in the name of helping the queen share the burden, she took the investigation of the murder of Concubine Xian into her own hands. Thinking that the murder of Concubine Xian has nothing to do with her, and Concubine Xian is a person who has nothing to do with her, she will wade into this troubled water, just because she wants to take the opportunity to get close to Shen Jingyuan, after all, Shen Jingyuan is the original and only purpose for her to enter the palace.

In front of the vertical arch hall, Su Wanxi was holding a plain umbrella, looking coldly towards the hall, Shen Jingyuan was sitting in a python suit in front of the imperial case to review the folds.

"Prince, Concubine Su is here. Xiao Anzi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Wanxi outside the door, he hurriedly reminded Shen Jingyuan.

Shen Jingyuan paused when he heard the words, and raised his eyes to look, Su Wanxi held an umbrella in silence and in the flying snow, his eyes were dazzling, as clear as the Nine Heavens Fairy in the picture scroll.

"It's cold outside, why is the concubine standing outside the door?" Shen Jingyuan said, putting down his pen and looking at her.

"It's just that I can't bear to disturb the prince when I see him so attentive. Su Wanxi said Yingying and entered, "It's hard for the prince to work for the emperor every day." ”

Shen Jingyuan's expression was natural: "This is Jingyuan's business. It's just that I don't know why the concubine is here today?"

Su Wanxi said lightly: "I came here for the matter of the virtuous concubine, and the emperor asked me to help the prince share the burden, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of the harem." ”

"Oh. Shen Jingyuan's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked directly at Su Wanxi and asked, "Isn't the queen mother always in charge of the affairs of the harem?"

Su Wanxi sighed lightly: "Am I willing to take care of things?"

Shen Jingyuan was silent when he heard this, the implication of her words was too obvious, and he didn't want to break this layer of paper windows.

"I don't know if the prince has gained something in the past two days?" Su Wanxi asked, shifting the topic.

"I sent someone to investigate the incident, but nothing came of it. Shen Jingyuan said, twisting his eyebrows and looking at the music on the case.

"It seems that this murderer is very thoughtful, and it is not easy to catch him. Su Wanxi said, and said, "Since you can't find a clue in this way, you only have to start a little bit." ”

Shen Jingyuan looked at Wanxi with interest and said, "What do you think?"

Concubine Xian died violently, and she started from the people around her one by one. First of all, find out whether Concubine Xian has any enemies in the palace, and then lock the target, follow the vine and touch the melon, and use a little means, you will definitely be able to find out the real murderer!" Su Wanxi said, revealing a confident look between her eyebrows.

Shen Jingyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly when he looked at Wanxi's confident appearance, this expression, tenacious and confident, is really beautiful......

In the afternoon, Su Wanxi went to the Minghui Palace, where Concubine Xian lived, interrogated Concubine Xian's personal palace maids one by one, and checked all the belongings of Concubine Xian before her death, but after all, she found nothing.

According to Concubine Xian's personal palace maid, after the thirteen princes died unexpectedly, Concubine Xian stayed at home all day long, and was very haggard. On the first seven days of the thirteen princes, Concubine Xian insisted on carrying a candle to go to the dry well to pay tribute to the thirteen princes, and after going, Concubine Xian ordered two personal palace maids to wait outside the broken hall. The two palace maids waited behind the door for a long time, and they never saw Concubine Xian come out, and when they looked in, they found that Concubine Xian's bones were cold.

Concubine Xian was killed by a sharp knife in her throat, without any signs of struggle, and her eyes were wide open when she died, as if she had seen something amazing before she died.

Su Wanxi investigated for a few days and still had no results, she didn't take this case seriously, but after investigating for so many days, she found nothing, and Concubine Xian was gentle and never offended anyone, but she was killed inexplicably......

So, what did Concubine Xian see before she died? This aroused Su Wanxi's curiosity, what kind of secret was it that attracted people to kill her on the spot. On the one hand, Concubine Xian's biological father, Lord Sun, has been pressuring the emperor to send two white-haired people to him, and he is heartbroken, and he must seek justice for his daughter and grandson.

A few days later, Su Wanxi prepared some hot soup and went to the Vertical Arch Hall again, but Shen Jingyuan was still there. Time passes, the snow has disappeared, the occasional spring breeze blows, and the new season is quietly approaching.

"It's still a little cold at the end of winter, so let's drink some hot soup to warm up. Su Wanxi personally carried the brocade box in, and the guards guarding the door knew that Concubine Su was now investigating Concubine Xian's case with the prince, and they didn't dare to stop it.

"Don't work hard, the concubine is too careful. What clues are there when the concubine came today?" Shen Jingyuan deliberately avoided Wanxi's enthusiasm and cut directly to the topic.

Su Wanxi didn't say much, put the brocade box on the table and said, "Hey, blame me for being incompetent, I have gained nothing for so many days." ”

Shen Jingyuan wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "The concubine's words are wrong, the murderer is cunning, I don't blame you and me." ”

Su Wanxi frowned: "I'm getting more and more interested in this murderer, I blatantly killed Concubine Xian in the harem, but I didn't leave any clues, who could it be? and for what purpose did I have to kill ......Concubine Xian?"

Shen Jingyuan nodded slightly in agreement, he will personally investigate this matter It is precisely for this reason, originally the violent deaths of harem concubines and palace people are endless, and they are commonplace, but the person who was killed this time is a virtuous concubine of the second grade, not to mention that the virtuous concubine is in a high position, her father is also a first-grade veteran, and the person who dares to kill her must be quite bold, and the appearance of the virtuous concubine dying is indeed incredible, so shocked, who did she see the secret of the ulterior?

"The place where the crime occurred, Minghui Palace...... You say, what else have we overlooked?" Wanxi was puzzled, if she wanted people to know, unless she did nothing, as long as she did something, she would not believe that there would be no trace.

Shen Jingyuan also looked serious, thinking deeply about the cause and effect of this matter. First the thirteen princes, then the virtuous concubines, but they are also mother and son, is someone deliberately targeting the Sun family?

"I've already interrogated all the people I can find...... What is missing......" Su Wanxi muttered to herself, feeling that she was stuck in an alley, and she just couldn't find the intersection where she could turn. "I can find it...... If there is really an informant, what the murderer has to do is not to let himself be found easily!" Wanxi had a flash of inspiration, only to feel that the answer was about to come out.

"The one who can't be found!" Shen Jingyuan blurted out, also a spirit.

"Yes!" Su Wanxi's eyebrows widened, and she had been wandering on the surface of her investigation of the matter, but she had been ignoring the psychology of the murderer.

"Qing'er, come here. Su Wanxi hurriedly called Qing'er.

Shen Jingyuan looked at Wanxi's every move and was silent on the side.

"Qing'er, you immediately go to the Internal Affairs Office to check the registration of the increase and decrease in the number of personnel in the palace since the death of the Thirteenth Prince. ”

"Yes. ”

Su Wanxi looked at Shen Jingyuan again and said, "Prince, I'm afraid you need a token." ”

"Hmm. ”

"That's right...... Prince, if Concubine Xian really knows some secrets that shouldn't be known and is killed, then now that you and I are investigating this matter, if the murderer feels threatened, maybe he will also attack us, these days, please be more careful. Su Wanxi said, her words were earnest.

Shen Jingyuan turned around: "You're right, I will ask my father to send more people to protect you in the next few days." ”

Wanxi was slightly stunned, and then said: "I didn't mean that, but thank you for the prince's kindness, then Wanxi will retire first." ”

"I don't send it. Shen Jingyuan said lightly, and never looked back.

Su Wanxi left in a smile, and on the way back, she felt that the cool breeze in her face was very refreshing, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.

Shen Jingyuan...... Shen Jingyuan, how long can you turn your back on me?
