The clothes are indeed from the Hou Mansion, and the pocket watch is indeed the one given to Su Ke before, but what does this mean.

If you want to see people alive and die, you have to see corpses, and if you don't see Su Ke's corpse with your own eyes, he won't admit that she is dead.

"What about the guy who sold things?" Shao Linghang's voice was hoarse.

King Jing led Shao Linghang to an empty room next to the ear room, and there was only a backrest chair in front of him, and a man was tied to it. Seeing that he is not very old, he has suffered a lot, and there are traces of whipping on his face and body.

Seeing King Jing come in, the man's face looked like he had seen the king of Hades, and he was so frightened that he hid, but the rope on his body was very strong, and he broke free with all his might, and drove the chair together, rubbing it on the ground with a harsh sound.

"I said everything I know, I really said everything, I don't know anything else......"

The voice was sharp, Shao Linghang frowned and glanced at King Jing, who said calmly: "Don't worry, I have already greeted the master of ceremonies, only that he said that his hands and feet were not clean, and he picked up the things I dropped and went out to sell, and I caught him." Fang Li was willing to sell my face, and he didn't stop me, so I brought the person back. ”

Shao Linghang nodded, and King Jing raised his voice and said to the eunuch: "Say what you know again." ”

"Yes, yes." The little eunuch was frightened by the whip, and began to chatter tremblingly, "That day, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there was a night banquet in the palace. It happened that the slave was on duty, and the upper and lower sides had an errand, so the slave brought a set of eunuch clothes to the Qianxi No. 5 Institute. When the servant went, the maid had a knife in her chest and was already dead. said that he was afraid that the palace maid would send it out and attract the attention of the Shang Palace Bureau, so he changed his clothes, dressed up as a eunuch, and let the servants pull outside. The slave was fascinated for a while, and when he saw that there was a gold chain around the palace maid's neck, he pulled it out, and found that it was a pocket watch, so he hid it. If the slave knew that the pocket watch belonged to the prince, he would give the slave ten dares, and the slave would not dare. ”

Shao Linghang's breath was unsteady, and he only felt weakness in his legs, staggered back two steps, and hit the door leaf.

King Jing's face was gloomy, "I heard that you asked someone from the forbidden army to look for it in the palace, I thought there would be clues, but I couldn't even find a trace." Only then did I think of the celebrant eunuch, and the only one left in the palace who could cover the sky with one hand was the celebrant eunuch. ”

"Why...... How could it be good to come out of Shou'an Palace and go to the five institutes in Qianxi? Shao Linghang gasped for breath, always feeling that every qiē was a joke, and the lie was too clumsy, just to coax him to play.

And the eunuch seemed to be in a hurry to show his merits, pulling his neck and saying: "It's the concubine Niangniang, it's the people around the concubine who passed things to the palm print, and the palace maid happened to see it, and she was killed by the palm print." ”

The answer is not what is asked, but the answer is heart-wrenching.

King Jing exhaled, "It is faster to come out of Shou'an Palace and take the sandwich road of the five institutes in Qianxi than to detour from the Imperial Garden." Maybe Su Ke just wanted to go back to Shunzhen Gate, but he didn't know why he wanted to separate the two little palace maids from the Shang Palace Bureau. ”

Shao Linghang closed his eyes slightly, his lips trembled a little, and he grabbed the blood-stained clothes on his arm and put it in front of the little eunuch's eyes, "Palace maid? When you changed the palace maid's clothes, the palace maid was wearing this dress? ”

The little eunuch was frightened by Shao Linghang's vicious appearance, stared at it carefully, and then nodded hurriedly, "It's this dress, which is different from what the palace maid is used to wearing." The servant wondered, is this a personal ...... brought into the palace?" said it, and his voice stopped abruptly.

He finally understood the confusion he had been unable to figure out, "The palace maid, yes, is it from the prince's family?" ”

King Jing sighed, "That woman is not from this king, but from the Hou Ye." You don't recognize him? He is the younger brother of the noble concubine, the current Marquis of Xuanping, and the general Zhaoyi personally awarded by the emperor. ”

The little eunuch was shocked, King Jing was already a person he couldn't afford to provoke, and now there was another Marquis of Xuanping.

Immediately, King Jing also added, "The woman who died is the lady of the Hou Ye who has not passed the door, and the future Mrs. Hou Ye." ”

These words wrapped around Shao Linghang's chest like thorns, and the spikes pierced into the flesh, squeezing little by little, and sinking deep into his heart. He was in so much pain that his teeth cracked, and he reached out and grabbed the little eunuch's neck.

"What about people? Where are you buried? ”

"Linghang ......"

Shao Linghang didn't let go, his strength gradually increased, only to see that the little eunuch's face was flushed, and his mouth was whining, but he only begged for mercy, and did not say his whereabouts.

King Jing stepped forward, knowing that he couldn't stop it, and patted the little eunuch on the shoulder with one hand, "His methods of torturing people are even worse than this king, you tell him the truth, this king will allow you to die a happy death." ”

Both horizontally and vertically were dead, and the little eunuch's face had a desperate expression.

"In the palace, there are often dead people in the palace, and the servants are in charge of this piece, and outside, the hunters outside came to me, saying that they wanted to buy dead human flesh, feed, feed the hunting dogs. The slave has sold a lot of people, and this one with fine skin and tender meat was sent over directly, and he got it, and he got a tael of silver. ”

As the last word was spoken, there was a "rattle" sound in the room.

The little eunuch's neck had been broken by Shao Linghang with one hand.

"Linghang ......" King Jing wanted to comfort him, but when he turned his head, tears rolled down Shao Linghang's face. He choked on his breath for a moment, and he didn't say anything else.

The tears shed by the man weighed as much as a thousand pounds.

"I ransomed her out of Qin Huai, 10,000 taels of silver, and now that she is dead, the bones are only worth one or two ......" Shao Linghang couldn't say any more, his body trembled like chaff, and after suppressing it for a long time, he roared out loud.

The cries of collapse echoed in this room, bitter, distressed, bitter, and incurable.

King Jing slowly walked behind Shao Linghang, "Linghang, last year, when your class returned to the court, you and I drank bitterly, and you still take the things I mentioned to you to heart?" ”

Shao Linghang turned his head suddenly, his scarlet eyes full of anger that had nowhere to vent.

King Jing looked him in the eye, "I said, I regard Su Ke as my sister." She died at the hands of □□, in the deep palace, in this world. I resent you, if you had given her status earlier, she wouldn't be someone who could hurt as much as an ant. But you are her beloved, how much can I blame you. What I want to plan is for her, and not all for her. I need your help, and when she is successful, I can give her an identity and enter your Shaw Ancestral Hall. ”

When everyone is dead, what's the use of posthumously sealing a title of fate? Can it be brought back to life? Can you keep her whole body?

But now, he can't let her die in vain.

What she couldn't give to her during her lifetime, at least give it to her after she died, so that she would not be nameless and divided into lonely ghosts. At least he went to bury her, and the stele could be written "Dead Wife Su".

"Okay, I'm willing to help you, after the ...... is done"

King Jing answered, "After the matter is completed, I will honor the concubine as my mother and enjoy the honor of the queen mother." Fang Li's head, I offer it with both hands. ”

Shao Linghang looked at him and suddenly smiled miserably, "After the matter is completed, I will be the official." ”

King Jing Chen for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

……

Shao Linghang returned to the Hou Mansion in a daze, how he went back, he had no impression at all.

The night was colorful, the stars were shining, the oath under the brilliant fireworks that night, her warmth, her light smile, and her fiery gaze could only be properly precipitated in her heart inch by inch.

After two days of drunkenness, the floating world was ruined.

Yuechan was dressed in plain clothes and went to the old lady to report her death. Although she knew that it was impossible, after the old lady got the news, it was difficult to hide her face. When only Wushuang was left around, the old lady shed two lines of tears regretfully. Whether it is to make up for it or to ease the relationship with Shao Linghang, although it is the New Year, the old lady also ordered to go down, and all the people in the house will have a hairpin and a white flower.

The old lady said that she was sick, and the Hou Mansion thanked the guests, and no outsiders saw her.

Liang Jincheng finally got the news, and went to the front yard like crazy to find the drunk Shao Linghang. That decadent appearance is unbearable, but under great compassion, who can still take care of appearance. Tidy up sassy and heroic, who to see? Can she see it?

When King Jing came, Mother Xu and Yuechan wiped their tears at the door.

There are countless wine jars in the house, Shao Linghang and Liang Jincheng are competing, as if whoever is more drunk will be able to see Su Ke again in his dream.

Jing Wang was angry, put down the ruler-long wooden box in his hand, and sat on the ground with the two of them and drank wine. The brothers who grew up are rich and glorious, but they are full of unsatisfactory people. Liang Jincheng was confused, stretched out his hand to look at the wooden box, only opened a gap, and King Jing immediately closed the wooden box. The two froze for a while, while Shao Linghang on the side was crying and laughing, burying his face in his hands and exhaling in his mouth.

"Jing Xuan (Jing Wang), when you become the emperor, you will only be more involuntarily. I'll do Fang Li's affairs myself, so you might as well stop it. ”

King Jing shook his head, "There are eggs under the nest, I don't move him, and when the prince is king, I will be subject to others." He colluded with his concubine, because the child he conceived was the prince's. Nearly twenty years, how many people died. The queen, the mother concubine, several princes and princesses, countless eunuchs and palace maids, and Love, and now Su Ke has been added. This pickled palace, it's time to change blood. ”

How many people were involved in these words. Shao Linghang looked at King Jing who was pouring wine and slowly closed his eyes.

- Kerr, do you blame me? If you live, you'll stop me from taking part in this bloody storm. But how can I let go of the resentment that you were murdered, without respecting the king, in three years, five years, and ten years, I may not be able to defeat Fang Li. You don't have to worry about me, if you lose, I'll just go down to accompany you. If it succeeds, I will take you to the north and the south, and stay away from this prosperous world as soon as possible.

……

When the three of them were drowning their sorrows with wine, Du Zhiluo, who had not yet learned a little information, begged her third brother, disguised herself as a man, and followed the third master of the Du family to the Ten Princes' Mansion.

King Ping, the sixth prince who lived in the Ten Princes' Mansion, went into the palace, and there was no master in the Ten Princes' Mansion.

Cheng Zhong, the steward of King Jing, stopped the two of them in the flower hall, "The prince is not here, the third master will come back another day." This is, Miss Four. The prince has instructed that something has happened in the palace in the past few days, and it is not peaceful, so the young lady and the third master still stay at home more and less involved in foreign affairs. ”

"What's going on?" Du Zhiluo does not forgive.

Cheng Zhong followed King Jing's previous instructions and vaguely revealed the murder of Su Ke to the two of them, but did not mention Su Ke's name at all. It's just that it was a concubine of Xuanping Hou's favorite, and she followed the old lady into the palace to congratulate her, but she disappeared inexplicably, and she searched for a long time, and then got the news of her death.

The matter of Su Ke and Shao Linghang, Du Zhiluo is aware. As soon as he said this, Du Zhiluo knew that something had happened to Su Ke.

"Quick, third brother, go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." Du Zhiluo pulled Du Sanye out of the Ten Kings' Mansion in a hurry, and drove the carriage straight to Xianyifang.

On the way, Du Zhiluo sat in the carriage and couldn't help scratching his head, "Third brother, did you say that Sister Su is really dead?" She has always been clever, and she knows how to turn around when she encounters trouble, there are many people in the palace who secretly rub and want to harm her, and she turns evil into good fortune, why did something happen this time? ”

Du Sanye turned the wrench in his hand and said with little interest: "Since there are many people in the palace who want to harm her, seeing her enter the palace and secretly kicking her, it doesn't have much to do with the palace anyway, and it is easier to hurt her." ”

Is that so? Du Zhiluo only felt that there was a doubt in his heart.

Su Ke said before that if it didn't work, she would find a way to leave without causing any trouble to Hou Ye. Hou Ye said that he would allow her a name, give her everything, and she could live with others, how difficult things are, Du Zhiluo knew very well in his heart.

Is it really dead, or is it an excuse to leave?

Du Zhiluo thought in a panic, why did she only panic in her heart when she knew about this, but she didn't have the slightest sorrow?

"Third brother, drive back to the Ten Kings' Mansion."

……

On the morning of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, when the genius was bright, Xu Wang pushed a cart of vegetables and a bag of 100 catties of rice, and gently knocked three times on the back corner door of the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Niu came to open the door, saw this cart full of things, and sighed: "Why did you send so many things." ”

Xu Wang wiped the sweat from his head, gasped and said, "I told the third wife, I will send more this time, and I won't come next time." I'm going to take my daughter-in-law back to the countryside to visit my relatives. ”

Mrs. Niu sighed, "It's better to live outside the house, like me, I will guard this for the rest of my life." ”

After a few words, the flatbed truck creaked towards the small courtyard.

The dumb woman came and opened the door, and together with the maid, she transported the fruits and vegetables in the car to the kitchen. With the remaining bag of 100 catties of rice, Xu Wang choked his throat, took a deep breath, carried it on his shoulders, and went to the kitchen, exerting his strength, and carefully put a bag of rice in the corner.

It's all done, and it's already dawning. Xu Wang pushed the car to the flower room, and when Mrs. Niu saw that the cooking was done everywhere, Shi Shiran went back to his gatehouse.

At three poles in the morning, the bag of rice suddenly moved, and then with a clatter, as a dagger cut open the sack, the man who had been curled up for a long time breathed a long sigh of relief......
