Many people gathered on the jade platform in front of the Taige, because Tang Jiuyue had placed one thing here in a dignified manner - Concubine Li's fragrant bones.

Shen Man and Lian Yi were responsible for protecting the bones that they had found so hard, and surrounding them with people. Tang Jiuyue avoided the Taige House.

At first, only the Taige maid who came to the door to sprinkle and sweep saw it, and he deliberately dragged a broom to ask who the skeleton was. Shen Man said to him mysteriously according to Tang Jiuyue's instructions, "I sue you, don't tell others, this is specially found by the gate supervisor from the mass grave in the suburbs, saying that it is the remains of a special person......"

"Why did you dig up this body and spread it out in front of the Taige?"

"This was ordered by the gate supervisor, saying that the owner of this body died too unjustly and tragically before his death, causing the people near the suburbs of Beijing to be seriously ill, so he personally took action to piece her bones together. It was basked in the moonlight for three days, and then by the sun for seven days, so that the owner of the bones could rest in peace. Shen Man's eyes didn't blink when he told a lie, and Lian Yi felt that this little ghost seemed to have a great future in this regard.

And the little guy who talked to Shen Man was notoriously broken-mouthed, and he patted his chest at that time and said that he would never spread the matter, but in a blink of an eye, he bit his ear with the little chef in the back kitchen. As a result, the matter spread very quickly, and even many spies who were waiting outside the Taige to spy on the movements of the Taige were unprecedentedly rushed to report the matter back to their masters before the sky was completely dawn.

So the nobles in the capital got roughly the same news almost at the same moment: first, the gate supervisor went to the outskirts of Beijing to dig up a skeleton of unknown origin; Second, the gate warden was drying the skeleton.

"What, the gatekeeper is drying a skeleton?" A beautiful woman in front of the dressing mirror table tilted her head slightly, looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Did you fall for the gate supervisor's trick again and let her fool her?" ”

Decheng still clearly remembered how his spies were tricked by Tang Jiuyue a few times ago, and this time he had to be more careful.

"Returning to the princess, after careful investigation of the humble position, someone did see the gate supervisor take the Tianwen Gate Gate Supervisor and others to the mass grave outside the city, so it is □□ true that the matter of drying the bones in front of the Taige is also true."

"Do you know who that skeleton is?" Decheng raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, she was becoming more and more interested in this matter. With so many things happening in the imperial court and harem, she won't go to the mass grave to dig up her bones for no reason, there must be some other reason.

"I don't know what I do."

"Alright, stand down." Decheng looked in the mirror and personally picked up an eyebrow pencil and raised his sleeve to draw his eyebrows. The woman in the bronze mirror is bright and moving, with a pair of eyes shining with brilliance, three points playful and six points cute, and a point of arrogance from the bones.

"Princess-" The newly exchanged personal maid next to her stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Set up a fight, the palace is going to Taige to join in the fun."

"Yes."

At the same time, Ningde Palace.

When Concubine Ning Guifei got the news, Liu Ye's eyebrows frowned slightly. She had just changed her outfit and was about to take the ride, but she hesitated at the door.

"Concubine Niangniang?" The palace maid next to her is carefully urging reads;。 Since the door teller rearranged the "Palace Calendar", the concubine Niangniang rarely had the opportunity to see the emperor. It's finally my turn today, but I don't know why the concubine has been depressed and stopped at the door.

The concubine's makeup is very light, but it does not hide her unearthly appearance at all. The long eyelashes drooped slightly, as if looking at the ground, but as if looking elsewhere. After being silent for a moment, I only heard the concubine say softly, "Sue the emperor that the palace is sick and cannot serve today, please forgive the emperor." ”

"But mother-"

"Go ahead." The concubine seemed to be really tired, and turned and walked towards her bed. The butterfly embroidered on the long skirt of the 100 flowers that she had just changed into seemed to be closing her wings.

After the palace maid left, the concubine closed her eyes tiredly and leaned on the chaise longue with one hand.

"Someone, invite someone for the palace."

"The person the concubine wants to invite, will it happen to be the prison of the door?"

If there is a person in this world who can calm and calm people's hearts just by speaking, this person must be Tang Jiuyue. She appeared unexpectedly again, and when the concubine was about to send someone to the center of the whirlpool to find her, she came to the concubine's dormitory.

Her steps were very light, and she was dressed in a white dress that was so clean that there were no patterns, and behind the bone china mask was a calm and indifferent face.

"Don ...... Gatekeeper, why are you here? The concubine couldn't help but straighten up, and her heart jumped and asked.

Tang Jiuyue walked in easily, sat on the edge of the round table, turned her head and smiled faintly at the concubine, "Take refuge." ”

The concubine stayed, but the clothes on her body were a little thin, and the palace maid put on her robe in time. The eyelashes were raised slightly, and the pair of deep eyes were raised, the concubine's heart swayed slightly, and she smiled happily, "Decheng will go, the eldest prince will go, and the grandfather of the palace, Ning Xiang, will go, these three people have found your Taige at the same time, and you have escaped, aren't you afraid that the people of your Taige will not be able to parry?" ”

Tang Jiuyue asked, "Is there any chess?" Let's take a next one. ”

The concubine was stunned, but still ordered someone to do it.

I only heard Tang Jiuyue say slowly, "I believe that Xiaoman and Lian Yi can deal with them, this can be regarded as a small test for them." ”

The palace maid brought a chessboard and put it on the table, and the concubine sat opposite, and the two looked at each other.

"What kind of idea do you have in mind, and whose bones are said to have been dug up on the outskirts of Beijing?"

Tang Jiuyue took the sunspot and made a move first, "Who does the concubine think is that?" ”

Ning Guifei had no choice but to take the white son to take the upper hand, she was stunned when she heard the words, bit her lower lip lightly, and when she released it again, she left a shallow tooth mark on her lower lip.

"Is it Concubine Li?"

Tang Jiuyue bowed, her eyes were just on the chessboard. "Hmm."

"After all these years, you were able to find her."

"It did take a lot of effort," Tang Jiuyue raised her eyes and looked at the other party, "The same was true of the noble concubine back then." ”

"What?" A trace of panic flashed in Ning Guifei's eyes.

"The concubine should have sent someone to find Concubine Li's corpse back then, but unfortunately she returned empty-handed in the end, right?"

Ning Guifei silently reads;.

Tang Jiuyue continued, "Of course you can't find her, it is rumored in the palace that she was buried alive and then abandoned in a mass grave, but this is not the case. ”

"What?!" Ning Guifei was a little unable to maintain her usual calmness, but at this moment, she seemed to be a different person, her eyes were full of eagerness and shock. "If you have something to say, I might as well say it directly, what secrets I didn't know back then, what did she go through in the end, why did I send someone to find her back then, and I couldn't even find her body?"

Tang Jiuyue held the chess pieces in her hand, knocked on the chessboard, sighed, then looked up at Ning Guifei, and said slowly, "Before I answer these questions, can you ask Guifei Niangniang to answer me a question?" ”

Ning Guifei's eyes flashed, "What's the problem?" ”

Tang Jiuyue said, "What kind of relationship is there between you and Concubine Li?" ”

Ning Guifei was silent.

"Ning Wei," Tang Jiuyue continued to look directly at Ning Guifei, "If you really cared about someone, would you turn a blind eye to her death?" ”

Ning Guifei suddenly raised her head, and when she looked up, there were already crystal tears in her eyes.

"Gate Supervisor, if you were in the position of the main palace, wouldn't it be like this?"

Tang Jiuyue said, "Your illness ......"

"My illness is beyond cure," Ning Guifei laughed self-deprecatingly, tears streaming down her face, "I know that you specially asked people to rearrange the Palace Calendar to keep me away from the center of right and wrong, maybe this can also prolong my life." However, as the daughter of the Ning family, I can't help myself. Moreover, I fell into such a heart disease, it is also a curse she gave me, it is her revenge on me, if I can get her forgiveness, what if I die? ”

"Back then, was it Ning Xiangye who asked you to frame Concubine Li?"

"I didn't hurt her!" Concubine Ning's eyes suddenly became sharp, full of anger, "I accompanied the emperor to the other palace at that time, and when I came back, I found out that something like this had happened. The emperor was very angry about this, and in a fit of anger, he directly took her life......"

"Have you ever wondered why Concubine Li, who was favored at that time, didn't go to another palace but stayed in the palace?" Tang Jiuyue was induced step by step.

She feigned illness...... To see her lover......"

"Are you sure she's such a person?" Tang Jiuyue raised her eyebrows, "You used to be good sisters who got along day and night, would you not know that she had a lover?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

Tang Jiuyue said calmly, "At that time, the master was still in the court, and I was on an errand in other places, and when I came back, the dust had already settled." But now a series of things have happened in the imperial court and the harem, and this qiē reminds me of Concubine Li. Now it seems that Concubine Li's case back then was also suspicious. ”

Tang Jiuyue slowly took out a small package from her sleeve and spread it out in the palm of her hand, on which was a pearl hairpin that had long been dull.

"It's an old man's thing, do you recognize it?"

Ning Guifei trembled and tried to touch the bead hairpin with her fingers, but was dodged by Tang Jiuyue when she was about to touch it. Tang Jiuyue calmly retracted her sleeves, and said without a trace of emotion, "These dusty old things still need to be solved for us one by one." When the truth comes out, I will return it to you. ”
