In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year turned out to be a good New Year, but it became two white events.

On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wanxi was invited to the Zichen Hall for the New Year banquet together with several other concubines and imperial relatives.

Today's palace is very lively, and it is rare that there is no cold silence on weekdays, which adds to the noisy atmosphere everywhere. Wanxi heard that in addition to the harem concubines who entered the palace for the banquet, there were the other two princesses and concubines, three princes and princesses, and the other princess who did not enter the palace was the second princess, who had already married a neighbor and relatives a few years ago.

Today, the wind and snow are slightly heavy, and it will definitely be bumpy and not easy to move forward, so Su Wanxi only took Qing'er and Spring to go, and Autumn came to walk to Zichen Hall with an umbrella. In order to avoid meeting the princess and prince who entered the palace for a banquet on the road, Wanxi asked Qiu Lai to choose a closer path towards Zichen Palace.

The four of them walked towards the path, Wanxi only knew that this road could go all the way to Zichen Palace, but today was the first time to walk.

The road became more and more remote, and Qing'er couldn't help frowning and asked, "Niangniang, is this road really right?"

Su Wanxi held an umbrella, the top of the umbrella was already covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, and said, "What do you say?" She looked at the spring and autumn, after all, the two of them entered the palace when they were very young, and they must know a little better than themselves.

Qiu Lai responded: "Well, Niangniang, the slave maid once helped the previous master find something, and the one who walked this road was still a little remote in front, but after crossing this path, it was at the back door of the Zichen Palace." ”

"Hmm. Su Wanxi responded lightly, and slowly moved forward as if nothing happened, without panic at all.

The four of them walked away for a while, and Chun Qu was suddenly startled: "The slave seems to have heard someone shouting for help!"

Hearing this, several people stopped, listened carefully, and looked around, and the front was a dilapidated and abandoned palace, and the rest of the surroundings were barren except for the path.

"Is there any? Why didn't the slave and maid hear?" Qing'er listened with pointed ears, but still looked puzzled.

Su Wanxi said: "I'm afraid I heard it wrong, how could anyone come to such a remote place?"

Qiu Lai added: "Spring must have been because I didn't sleep well last night, and I was in a trance today." "After a long time, the palace people of Fuhui House slowly felt that this master was not so unkind, so he was a little bolder, and he followed Wanxi for some time in spring and autumn, and he knew Wanxi's temperament, so he dared to relax slightly.

Chun went to be suspicious: "Okay, it may be that the slave maid has hallucinated." ”

"Let's go. Su Wanxi said, taking the lead in taking a step, but the pace was much bigger, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.

The road is really right, after walking through the remote place, I saw the back of Zichen Palace, and a few people sorted out their clothes and were about to go around to the front door, and Wanxi frowned: "It's wrong, I just said something ding, it was actually the jade ring of the palace." ”

"Ah, slave and maid, I'm going to get you back. Qing'er hurriedly wanted to run back.

Su Wanxi grabbed her and said, "That's it, you don't know where this palace was lost." Hey, that was brought by the emperor to the palace himself, so be it," Wanxi glanced at the three of them and said, "You guys are waiting here, the palace probably knows where the jade ring has fallen, so let's look for it." ”

"Niangniang, let's let the slave go with you, the wind and snow are heavy, and it is not safe to be alone. Autumn said.

Su Wanxi glanced at Qiu Lai thoughtfully, then nodded slightly, so the two walked back together.

Autumn came earlier than spring to enter the palace, and she was also an old man in the palace, so she was more sensible than Qing'er and Chun. She probably knew Wanxi's intentions, and followed Wanxi silently along the way, and she didn't ask anything.

Su Wanxi took Qiu Lai to stop in front of the ruined hall that Fang had just passed, and then looked sideways at Qiu Lai and asked, "Do you hear someone calling for help?"

Qiulai bowed his head and said, "Yes, the slave heard it." ”

Su Wanxi was silent, pushed open the desolate door, and it was even more depressed inside, and Wanxi gradually heard the sound of help, so she followed the occasional sound, bypassed the desolate house and went to the dry well in the backyard.

The voice came out occasionally, very weakly, and it was politely concluded that it must be the voice of this dry well.

Wanxi held an umbrella, slowly walked to the dry well, lowered her head and looked down, and shouted suspiciously: "Thirteen princes?"

Shen Yue, who was at the bottom of the well, suddenly looked up with great joy, and shouted in surprise: "Su Guifei, save me, save me!" The whole person was haggard and weak, completely losing the vigor of the last hunting ground.

Su Wanxi looked at Shen Yue's lips that had been frozen, and there was a lot of snow on her body, so she must have fallen for a few hours.

"Thirteen princes, what the hell is going on?" Wanxi's face was full of anxiety, as if she was very worried.

I saw Shen Yue said very weakly: "It's all to catch this damn bird!"

Wanxi thought to herself, Shen Yue was aggressive and competitive, presumably in order to catch a bird and fell into a dry well, but she was trapped again, but the bird flew away with its wings.

"You wait, this palace will come to you to save you!" Su Wanxi said, giving Shen Yue a reassuring look.

"Thank you, Concubine Su, find someone to save me...... I can't hold it anymore......"

"Mmmm, hold on, this palace will bring someone soon!" Su Wanxi said, raised her head and left slowly, the expression on her face suddenly became ruthless.

Shen Yue...... If you meet me today, you can only be considered unlucky. You are still young, but you will vote for a good family as soon as possible, not only you, you can rest assured, your brothers and sisters will come to accompany you sooner or later.

"Niangniang......" Qiulai listened to what Fang Cai Wanxi said to Shen Yue, so he couldn't help but want to ask what to do next.

"Qiulai, you are the most sensible person around this palace, what do you have to teach you in this palace?" Su Wanxi said, leaving without emotion.

Qiulai bit her lip slightly, and understood what she wanted to do. So he was silent, followed behind her, and after bringing out the broken hall, Qiulai closed the door, and deliberately covered the footsteps in front of the door.

The New Year's banquet started normally, and the emperor, queen, concubine Chen, concubine Xian, concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, princess, prince Shen Hao, prince Shen Mingxu, eldest princess Shen Ning, and third princess Shen Ziwei were present one after another.

Shen Wen personally introduced Wanxi, and Su Wanxi also got to know these royal relatives, and she also had a little more in her heart.

The banquet was similar to the rest of the banquet, with cabaret performances being presented one by one. It was only in the middle of the banquet that Concubine Xian anxiously ordered someone to tell the emperor that her son Shen Yue had not come to the banquet, and sent someone down to find it, but to no avail. Shen Wen heard that many people went down to search.

Concubine Xian said that she and Shen Yue were on the way to Zichen Palace, and as soon as Shen Yue went out, she saw a colorful bird on the treetops, and insisted that it was the mascot who wanted to catch it and give it to the emperor, so she put a little effort into chasing the bird, Concubine Xian couldn't shout, thinking that Shen Yue's martial arts skills were also good, and it must be no problem to catch a bird, and when he caught it, he would come to Zichen Palace, but he didn't expect to see a person.

Until the end of the banquet, Shen Yue still could not be found, everyone left, and Concubine Xian went to Shen Wen crying, Shen Yue was her only precious son, and the mother was expensive by virtue of her son, so she had not found Shen Yue Concubine Xian for so long.

Su Wanxi, the queen and others also stayed in the Zichen Hall to accompany Shen Wen and Concubine Xian and wait for the news, but they didn't expect the night to fall, but what they were waiting for was a news of death.

The palace people found Shen Yue in the dry well and tried to rescue him from the dry well, but he was already black and stiff, and he had long since lost his breath.

When Concubine Xian heard the news, she fainted in the Zichen Palace, and Shen Wen was heartbroken, and sent someone to take care of Concubine Xian, and she also went back to the palace.

The next day, the news of the untimely death of the Thirteen Princes spread throughout the Imperial City, and everyone felt sorry for him. But during the Chinese New Year, he froze to death in a remote dry well, and he also examined the corpse, but there was no other injury, the only thing was the abrasion on his feet, which can be concluded that he accidentally fell into the well.

The emperor ordered to mourn together, so a good New Year, but every family is not allowed to be festive and lively, if there is a violation, then to the thirteen princes to accompany the funeral.

However, what is even more unbelievable is that the thirteenth prince has just passed away for the first seven days, and the virtuous concubine has also died violently. Died of homicide, his throat was cut, and he was fatally stabbed. It was also the second day that the palace maid found that Concubine Xian was missing, so she hurriedly went to look for it, and finally found the body in the side alley where the thirteenth prince died, and the blood was congealed into red ice on the ground.

The death of the prince was an accident, but the death of the virtuous concubine was no accident.

The palace people rumored that the soul of the thirteen princes had come back and taken away their mother, but reasonable people knew that it must not be so simple.

Shen Wen lost his wife and child in a few days, and he was very sad, he must not believe that the tragic death of Concubine Xian was done by the undead, so he handed over the case to Shen Jingyuan, telling him to investigate thoroughly, find out the murderer, and give Concubine Xian justice!
