The conflict between Wei Concubine and Hua Guiren is well known, the Eighth Prince appeared in Yuxiang Palace inexplicably, Wei Concubine had an accident, and she couldn't wash it away by jumping the Yellow River a few times. For a while, the eyes of all the palace maids and attendants changed, and Huan Cao cried even more, "Your Highness, Concubine Wei just complained a few words about the noble people, and she didn't have the intention to blame, how could you make such a ruthless ......"

Jin Yu hadn't even seen the face of Concubine Wei at all, but his mind was blank at this time, and he couldn't even speak, let alone justify.

Emperor Xuwen got the news and hurriedly entered the Yuxiang Palace, he swept around the people who were kneeling on the ground, and so far no one dared to come forward to touch it, and the eighth prince Jin Yu, who was leaning on the red lacquer corner door with a frightened face, "Old eight, why are you here!"

Jin Yu's face was frightened, blue and white were terrifying, his jaw trembled a few times, but he couldn't make a sound, and the whole person seemed to be just a frightened, well-carved clay sculpture. The sharp gaze in Emperor Xuwen's eyes swept across his face, and he snorted angrily and flicked his sleeves into the inner hall.

The courtyard was weird and silent, everyone shrunk in place to watch the pair of dark boots step by step into Wei Concubine's room, Quan Heng took the lead in stepping forward to lift the curtain, Rao is he is well-informed, at this time he was also shocked by Wei Concubine's death and took two steps back, and then reacted and bowed down to ask Emperor Xuwen to ask for guilt. Emperor Xuwen glanced at him suspiciously, and stepped into the inner hall.

Wei Concubine fell on the edge of the bed with her eyes wide open, her head was upside down and drooped on the edge of the bed, her hair was messy, half of the brocade quilt was lifted and piled up at her feet, one arm was hooked into a claw and stretched forward, the other hand was clasped around her throat, and there was a trace of black blood lying on the corner of her lips. Although Wei Concubine has no worldly appearance, she is also dignified and beautiful, but at this time, she can't see the color of the past, which is not much better than the hideous evil ghost in the script.

Emperor Xuwen didn't expect Concubine Wei to die so miserably, although there were many dirty calculations in the palace, they were all done without a trace, and it was difficult to notice. How can it be so blatant, so that people can see at a glance that the victim died so strangely. The killer was clearly inexperienced or acting impulsively. Thinking of the conflict between Wei Concubine and the noble people and the Eighth Emperor Jin Yu, who was blocked in the courtyard on the spot, Emperor Xuwen's forehead suddenly jumped up, and he saw that he was on the verge of rage.

Even if the prince is rich, it is unforgivable to murder his mother. What's more, so many people have seen it, what room for justification. If the real culprit cannot be found out and there is another person, it is inevitable that there will be a big fight. "Someone! Hold the Eighth Prince Jin Yu in Dali Temple and interrogate him strictly!"

Quan Heng answered, and hurriedly went down to order. Jin Yu didn't come to his senses until the chamberlain grabbed his arm, and shouted: "Father, it's not me, I don't! Father, how can you not believe your son, your son is your favorite prince!"

Jin Yu shouted that this was taken off, Emperor Xuwen frowned, and swept his eyes coldly on the kneeling subordinates in the courtyard: "Who is the palace maid of the concubine?"

Huan Cao trembled and walked a few steps forward: "If you go back to the king, the slave maid's name is Huan Cao, and she is the personal maid of Wei Concubine Niangniang. ”

"There is such a big movement in the concubine's house, why haven't you, as a personal maid, noticed it at all?"

"Your Majesty, Niangniang since that day and the noble people after the conflict, the body has been unhappy, in the morning to the Queen Mother to ask for peace, the noble people were distressed for a while, after coming back, the mother had a headache unbearable, said that a closed eyes, the ears are the words of the noble people's abuse, not peaceful, let a group of servants go back to their own rooms, don't quarrel with her to rest. Huan Cao looked at Emperor Xuwen's face, and cried and explained the process smartly, and the sentences were clear and audible.

Originally, this was just a means for Wei Concubine to show her grievances and let the monarch know that she was bullied by the nobles, and then invite favor, but she didn't expect it to become her life-threatening talisman.

Emperor Xuwen's gaze looked at the other palace people in the courtyard, and everyone nodded in agreement. "You go on!"

Since Niangniang ordered so, the palace people naturally did not dare to disobey, and only left the slave and maid to take care of her. Huan Cao wept and wiped her tears over and over again, "Niangniang pretended to sleep on the couch, remembering that when the Nine Emperors and the Fifteenth Princess arrived for dinner, she told the slave maid to take a look, and the slave maid went out of the inner hall, and saw the two little masters, so she went to the small kitchen to see if the Niangniang medicine was decoctioned, and when the slave and maid came back, Niangniang ......"

Emperor Xuwen listened to her words and asked, "Who is the nurse and who is the palace maid who decocted the medicine?"

The nurse and the maidservant who decocted the medicine nodded hurriedly, and they could all prove it to Huancao.

Huan Cao was secretly proud in her heart, how did they know how much time she had shared. She has long been tired of following the master of Concubine Wei, weak and not smart, and she is about to be trampled under her feet for half her life! When Concubine Yi comes out of the cold palace, she will ask her to come to her side, and when the time comes, the benefits will not beckon? However, she didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would actually bump into her by chance, and she had already prepared another candidate to be the scapegoat.

Li Shuci didn't come back from Bixin Palace for a while, his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't sleep, so he accompanied the bored Mu Yun to play a few leaf cards, Mu Yunzheng's eyes were wide and thinking about how to win Li Shuci, suddenly there was an urgent voice outside, and Mu Yun heard that it was Zheng Yi, the servant who was saved in the hands of Huaguiren that day.

A few people stopped, Mu Yun got up and let Zheng Yi in, "Why are you here?

Zheng Yiran's face was covered with sweat, and there was still black green on his head: "Ouch, something big happened in the palace." Wei Concubine Niangniang ...... It's gone!"

Wei Concubine is gone?

Li Shuci and Xia Xing glanced at each other, and they both stood up and looked at Zheng Yi inexplicably.

What is this? Wei Concubine was like a noble person with the Queen Mother early in the morning, how could the good and dignified person be gone? Li Shuci took the lead in replying to his senses: "What's the matter, do you know the specifics?"

Zheng Yi bypassed Mu Yun and explained to Li Shuci: "So many palace people in Yuxiang Palace have seen it, and they can't hide it from someone who cares. Before, the county lord instructed the slave to be vigilant about the movement around him, and as soon as the slave heard this letter, he hurried up here to report to you. It is said that it was Wei Concubine Niangniang who shouted headaches from the Queen Mother's return, and drove the palace people back into the house for fear of noisy, but as a result, the personal maid Huancao went out to see the medicine, and Wei Concubine Niangniang returned to the West, and heard that the death was terrifying, and she knew that she was poisoned at a glance. ”

"Poisoned?, but the imperial doctor came to perform an autopsy?" Of course, Wei Concubine would not commit suicide, she must have been murdered.

"It's been tested, it's poison!"

Li Shuci and the others fell silent again, it is true that poison is only available in the palace, but not everyone can have it, it is nothing more than a high-ranking person who can get it. The poison is extremely toxic, and the time from people to death after taking poison is very short, so Huan Cao said that after going out for a while, the concubine will die when she comes back, which is in the past.

Zheng Yi said at this time: "I don't know the most important thing, the important thing is that the eighth prince was arrested in Yuxiang Palace somehow, and he has been ordered by the king to be locked up in Dali Temple for interrogation." Huagui people are still in the dark at this time, if they know, I am afraid that the world will be turned upside down again. ”

"How can this be?" Li Shuci gasped, she thought for a moment and looked at Xia Xing, "What's so special about you as a palace person?"

Xia Xing understood what Li Shuci meant, and wanted to ask Huancao if it was related to a powerful minister or a prince and concubine. She shook her head and said, "As far as I know, it doesn't seem to be. ”

Li Shuci is logically not good to participate in the battle between the concubines in the palace, but now that there are fewer masters in the harem, the battle between right and wrong has become relatively simple, but the situation full of crises has not changed, not to mention that the prince is involved, so she has no reason not to take a look. "There are no high-ranking concubines in the palace, the Queen Mother must still have to take care of this matter, and now I'm afraid she already knows, let's take a look." ”

The Queen Mother really knew about it, and when Li Shuci arrived at the Fengxian Palace, she happened to meet the Queen Mother who was going to Yuxiang Palace, and when she saw her, she said angrily: "You are a girl who has not left the pavilion, what kind of corpse are you going to see, and you are not afraid of being scared?"

Li Shuci was stunned for a while, it turned out that the Queen Mother was going to see the corpse. She stepped forward and touched the Queen Mother, and said: "Oh, the Queen Mother, where is Yongning going to see the corpse, Wei Concubine Niangniang suffered misfortune, and the Eighth Prince was involved, Yongning has been in the palace with several masters, how can you bear to pretend that nothing has happened?"

The Queen Mother glanced at her, and finally acquiesced to her following. When a few people arrived at Yuxiang Palace, the palace was not in a mess, and it was impossible to distinguish who was from Yuxiang Palace and who was the person who came to see the excitement. A few low-grade beauties, nobles muttered on the side from time to time, Li Shuci listened to a few words, it was nothing more than that the pair of mourning stars finally killed Wei Concubine, and Wei Concubine was too unlucky.

The concubine had already been carried to the courtyard, and at this time she was resting on a half-human-high wooden burden, and the coffin containing the body was not ready. Several servants from the Imperial Hospital were still carefully examining the bodies of Wei Concubines, and Emperor Xuwen naturally would not wait here to handle these things, and ordered Quan Heng to wait for the Queen Mother to arrive. No matter how Concubine Wei died, someone had to take care of her aftermath.

As soon as Quan Heng saw that the Queen Mother was coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask An to explain the situation. The Queen Mother walked a few steps to Wei Concubine's body, Li Shuci followed behind her, and clearly saw Wei Concubine's strange look and posture, the lily bun on her head was already scattered, and the clothes she was wearing were slightly messy, but only slightly. Her five-fingered clawed hand had a few scratches of different shades on her snow-white wrist.

The Queen Mother frowned, as if she had forgotten who said that the girl's family should not come to see the corpse, and asked Li Shuci in a low voice: "Girl, do you see anything." ”

When Li Shuci heard this, he replied in a low voice: "Since it was poisoned to death, and the death was so hideous, it was obvious that someone suddenly stuck her throat without defense, unable to speak, and someone took advantage of her mouth to breathe The poison was put into her mouth, and she died of poison in a moment." ”
