"Please also ask the concubine to have something to say. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lone Shadow wasn't a fool, knowing that she had made a big detour for the last word. But as long as he can keep Yinling safe, he doesn't care that he is being used.

"This palace has always known that you are an understanding person," Cheng Jingjing picked up the jade on the table and played with it, and said: "Actually, this is not a difficult thing to do, but this palace has just sat in the position of the imperial concubine, and there are still very few people who can use it, so I thought of looking for you." A few days ago, a palace maid named Xiaohuan was transported out, and this palace hopes that you will go out of the palace to investigate how she died and who killed her. ”

There are thousands of palace maids in this palace, and the only thing that can attract the attention of the noble concubine is because of one thing.

"That palace maid has something to do with Princess Yueyao falling into the water?" asked Lone Shadow.

Cheng Jingjing suddenly gloomy, and said faintly: "With a smart person like you, you can naturally guess that this matter must be investigated by the palace in person, if you are willing to help the palace with this little favor, it can be regarded as an explanation to the emperor." ”

"Since it is Princess Yueyao's business, her subordinates will naturally handle it. ”

Lone Shadow got up from the ground, and before he left, he turned his head and said, "Niangniang has always been a straightforward person, so it's good to tell your subordinates if there is anything in the future." ”

Cheng Jingjing had a look of embarrassment on her face, it wasn't that she didn't want to say it directly, it was just that she didn't trust anyone anymore. In her eyes, people are only connected by interests, and you have to give before you can get something.

Looking at the figure of the lone shadow leaving, the painting walked in with broken steps.

"Niangniang, Lone Shadow promised you what you explained?"

"Well, but Bengong has a trace of guilt in his heart, it seems that Bengong is not used to blackmailing people. ”

Cheng Jingjing stroked her forehead lightly, propped her elbows on the table, and her face was full of worry. Huabian came up to pinch her shoulders and beat her back, and said softly: "Niangniang has experienced so many things, people will naturally become sensitive." But it's not to blame the mother, you just can't help it. ”

Listening to her words, Cheng Jingjing glanced at her gratefully. There is still someone in this world who can understand her, at least not let her live alone.

"By the way, the painting," Cheng Jingjing restrained her emotions and asked lightly, "How much do you know about that queen?"

"The queen mother?" said while shaking the fan in his hand: "The slave only knows that the queen mother is from a famous family, and the father of the family is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the court. At the beginning, she was recommended by many ministers of the court, and the emperor named her the lord of the harem. ”

"The Book of Rites?" Cheng Jingjing asked puzzledly: "Her father is also a powerful adult, why does she look weak? Even the Imperial Forest Army beside His Majesty doesn't take her seriously." ”

"This ......" the painting sighed and said in a low voice: "The queen mother has fallen into such a situation, in the final analysis, because of the emperor's attitude towards her. Everyone in this palace knows that the emperor doesn't like this lady, and they are all people who like to be inflammatory, "After a long time, everyone doesn't take this queen mother seriously......"

"Why doesn't Your Majesty like her?" Hearing what the painting said, Cheng Jingjing felt an inexplicable sense of pride in her heart.

"The slave guessed that the emperor didn't like to be sent to the door, it was like this in the palace before, and it was naturally the same after entering this palace. ”

Only the two of them could hear these words, and if they were released, they would definitely make waves.

"Okay, this palace knows," Cheng Jingjing waved her hand at her and said, "Go down, this palace is lacking." Let people keep an eye on the imperial study, and once His Majesty has dealt with the affairs of the court, he will come back and inform the palace. ”

"The slave is clear. ”

In the capital outside the city walls, a lonely shadow wanders on the roof under the dark night. His steps were as light as a cat, and the two people in the room who were talking to each other had no idea that his words and deeds were being seen.

"That palace maid has been cleaned up?"

In the dimly lit room, a man in a black cloak stood in the corner, but it was not difficult to hear that it was a woman. At this time, another man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said earnestly: "You can rest assured, the little one is the best at this kind of thing." But the little one needs some silver to appease the family of the palace maid, you see......"

"The matter of money is easy to say," said the man under the cloak, handing out a heavy silver bag, and whispering, "But you must ensure that this matter is safe, if something goes wrong or someone finds out, I will not take back the silver......

"Little swear, no one will find out about this except you and me!"

The man looked at the heavy money bag and was already salivating, and he had sworn all kinds of poisonous oaths, who would have thought that this matter would bring him death.

Lone Shadow held his breath and listened quietly to the two above, and when the woman went out to leave, he also quietly chased after him.

The man was very guarded, and must have done a lot of such unsightly things before, and she deliberately took several turns in the alley before taking off the brim of her hat with confidence. There are so many palace maids in this palace, Lone Ying doesn't know her, but looking at what she is wearing, she must be the maid of a certain lady in the palace.

"Meow—"

Just as Lone Shadow was about to jump off the roof to capture the man, a cat slipped past his feet and stepped on several tiles by the way.

"Who's up there?!"

The palace maid in the alley was suddenly like a frightened bird, and when she looked up and saw the black figure of the lonely shadow, she desperately pulled her legs and ran out.

However, she was Lone Shadow's opponent, and before she could run two steps, she was held down by Lone Shadow who fell from the roof.

"Who sent you out?!" Lone Shadow looked at her with a sharp voice, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

The palace maid did not answer him, but her face twitched in pain, and after a while, a dark blood stain flowed from the corner of her mouth. Lone Shadow secretly thought that it was not good, and reached out to break her mouth, only to find that it contained a bitten poison.

Unexpectedly, she would end her life for the sake of secrecy, and Lone Shadow was angry and had to bring her body back to the palace. Although I didn't ask clearly, I did find some clues.

In a side hall of Luan En Palace, Yue Xi looked at a group of corpses placed on the ground in horror. There were still two people standing next to her, Painter and Lone Shadow, but they were not as nervous as they were.

"Lone Shadow, what are you doing?" she wiped her cold arm and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing with a corpse in our Luan En Palace in the middle of the night? You can do such an unlucky thing!"

"This is the person the concubine asked me to find. ”

Lone Shadow said with a cold face: "But I carelessly let her swallow poison and kill herself, otherwise I can still ask something from her mouth." ”

"Did you find out who killed Xiaohuan?" asked Hua Pan quickly.
