Not to mention that Yuan Wanyou and Song Mier were still in the backyard of the Qianchu Palace, "criticizing" the harem concubines, and that the black shadow squatting on the edge of the lotus pond actually came to the Ren'an Palace.

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, that lady concubine is really funny, you didn't see her when she commented on those concubines in your harem, she was more careful than us secret guards! The chicken legs have to be eaten one by one, and what kind of style do you learn from the rivers and lakes, who is not pretending to be the female disciples of the big sects on the rivers and lakes on weekdays, if she really goes to the rivers and lakes, she will regret it hahaha, your little queen is also fun, clever and eccentric, and the plum wine is also poured in a glass, but the plum wine smells really fragrant, if I don't have a task, I will also ask for a cup. ”

"Ahem, Lu Xun!" Seeing that Lu Xun was dancing in front of Shen Zhan and actually talked about the queen, Bo Yin, who was hidden in the shadows, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let you go to protect the safety of the queen, you are protecting with your nose and ears?" Have you forgotten all the things that the shadows taught you to go to Java? ”

Lu Xun, who was still laughing heartily, was counted down by Bo Yin, and suddenly looked like a frosted eggplant, his neck shrugged, he stuck out his tongue, his eyes rolled around, and he argued strongly: "It's very peaceful in Xuande Palace, isn't it okay, I see that the queen and the lady are drinking together, but I don't know how long to talk about, and I will tell your majesty the daily story of the queen when I am idle." ”

Ouch, this is not only not good to protect the queen's mother, but also speculates on the holy will without authorization! An Jin, who was standing as an invisible person under the big vase next to the desk, heard this, and sweated for Lu Xun in his heart: This Lord Lu really dares to say anything, Your Majesty, don't be angry with him, you have just ascended the throne, how many people are watching, if you want to be beaten by the court staff later, can you let those young servants who are not smart in their heads really beat......

Before Eunuch An Jin finished performing his inner one-man show in the corner alone, he was worried that Shen Zhan would be furious after listening to Lu Xun's disrespectful words.

Shen Zhan, who was reviewing the recital, stopped his pen and smiled, and looked at Lu Xun at the next one: Your Majesty, are you very willing to listen to me talk about the queen's mother, Shen Zhan chuckled, and raised his chin under the worried gaze of the eunuch An Jin: "Come on, give our Lord Lu a pot of plum wine, let him drink enough!" ”

"Phew."

This was the voice of the eunuch An Jin's inner sigh of relief.

"Hey! I know that you know me! ”

This was Lu Xun's loud laughter that almost jumped out loud, "Your Majesty, you are still like when you were a child, with these people in our dark department, you are enough brothers." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Before Lu Xun finished speaking, he remembered the sound of coughing in a flash.

Nearby was Bo Yin, the leader of the dark department, and on the roof was Shu Shan and the dark guards he led, and even the sound of coughing sounded by the window.

Countless secret guards roared in their hearts: Lord Lu, you have to call your majesty a brother, don't drag everyone in our dark department into it, you have to play with your own majesty, don't hurt us honest secret guards.

The coughing sound was too urgent, and as soon as he heard it, he knew what the secret guards lying in the dark wanted to say, Shen Zhan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and laugh, "Come on, hold two jars of wine, put more wine cups, stand in the courtyard, go quickly!" ”

An Jin on the side hurriedly trotted out from the side door, and after a while, there was a faint smell of wine in the center of the courtyard, protecting the emperor, and he didn't dare to drink spirits. Lu Xun also stuffed a small pot of plum wine in his hand, patted his legs and laughed as he counted the black shadows in the courtyard coming and going in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't see what was happening, and even the black shadow seemed to be an illusion. The young waiter who helped pour the wine rubbed his eyes, and before he could calm down, the wine cup in his hand disappeared again.

Shen Zhan in the room also put down his pen and looked happy, even Bo Yin's expression with holding his breath and concentrating eased a lot, Lu Xun even held the wine jug in his hand, taking one sip after another, and shouted in his mouth, "Happy, happy!" ”

An Jin, who went outside to order the young attendants, didn't come in for a long time, and the secret guards who were all immersed in the aroma of wine around the Ren'an Hall didn't care, who didn't have a time for three emergencies.

was on the rise, but An Jin suddenly ran in from outside with a white face, sweating profusely, pushed open the door of the Ren'an Palace, and suddenly knelt in front of Shen Zhan, before Shen Zhan could speak, An Jin had already kowtowed heavily on his head: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" The palace maid in the queen's palace died violently! ”。

However, it is said that when Lu Xun was learning from Shen Zhan in the Ren'an Palace, Song Mier was drunk and his eyes were misty, and Yuan Wanyou had already gone to shoes, sitting cross-legged on a rattan stool, knocking on the bowl with silver chopsticks, following the example of the famous men of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and singing in a low voice the song of the desert returning geese from the northwest. The deep voice of the male and female mixed with the aroma of wine permeated the soft sunlight of early summer, and the nearest palace man Qinghe also retreated to the edge of the corridor in the courtyard, sitting alone and looking at the bright flowers and trees hanging from the top of the corridor. Song Mier saw that Yuan Wanyou was singing wantonly, so he also took a pair of chopsticks, knocked them on, and hit her tune. Different from the soft and sweet when Song Mier used to speak, and not like the magnetic lowness of the concubine when she sang, the timbre of Song Mier's humming was unexpectedly clear, like the moonlight passing through the flowing water, and like the first dew on the large flowers and bones in the empty mountain was torn off and broken and sprinkled on the silver plate, the original sad and generous wild goose song was sung by Song Mier, as if there was a trace of nostalgia in the eyes of the wild goose, but the heart-burning wind of the desert carried a few wisps of tactful sorrow of the young woman who looked forward to the return of the monarch and went to the city tower, and the hearts of those who sang and listened to the song were itchy.

It's a pity that in the huge courtyard, there are only two half-drunk and half-awake concubines, and a palace maid who is gazing at the flowers and trees.

Song Mier and Yuan Wanyou were singing and harmonizing, but there was a lot of noise in the front yard, and there seemed to be a lot of movement.

Before Qinghe came back to his senses, he lifted his skirt and went to the front yard to check, Chukong broke in in a panic and pressed Qinghe: "Sister Qinghe, something is wrong, a little palace maid died in the backyard of our Biwu Palace!" ”

Song Mi'er immediately woke up halfway through his wine, and Yuan Wanyou helped Song Mi'er to stand up, with a stern expression, "Chukong, hurry, take the queen to change her clothes!" ”

Chukong hurriedly responded, and stepped forward to help Song Mier's other arm, "Concubine Niangniang, you go with the slave maid, the master has not entered the palace fashion clothing bureau has made a few more regular clothes that are larger than the master's body and cannot be seen in the ceremony, which were originally used when the master was rewarded, and now they are all well collected, Niangniang might as well change her body?" ”

Yuan Wanyou frowned tightly and looked down at the skirt that had already been wet with wine and had sprinkled a lot of heartbreaks, nodded, and followed Chukong to the Qianchu Palace.

Qinghe on the side didn't wait for anyone's order, so he hurried to the Biwu Hall to maintain order with a straight face.

When Song Mier and Yuan Wanyou came to the Biwu Palace, Shen Zhan, who was closest to the Xuande Palace, also happened to step into the courtyard of the Biwu Palace.

The body of the dead palace maid was covered with sackcloth, and it was placed in the courtyard of the Biwu Hall in a daze.

There have already been a lot of palace people in Xuande Palace around, or pale or whispering, all doing things together, and it is a major matter related to the lives of people in the palace, Dexiu and Qinghe are not good to drive away, so they have to send those who are unruly, and call a few third-class young attendants and palace maids and Yulan to maintain the scene together.

Seeing that Shen Zhan had arrived, Song Mier and Yuan Wanyou were deeply blessed, Shen Zhan shouted, and then stopped talking, only glanced at Song Mier deeply and turned his head.

Seeing the dead palace maid covered with sackcloth, Song Mier's remaining half of the wine immediately dispersed, let go of the hand that was originally holding Yuan Wanyou tightly, and said to Shen Zhan, "Your Majesty, can you ask someone from Dali Temple to conduct an autopsy?" ”

Shen Zhan pursed his lips, "If you haven't figured anything out, you're going to have an autopsy?" Are you sure? ”

Song Mier still maintained the posture of the body and never got up, "The concubine invites His Majesty Xuan Dali Temple and others to come to check." ”

Shen Zhan sighed invisibly, "Let's get up," and turned to An Jin again, "Go and call Shaoqing and Meng Xun of Dali Temple to me." ”

As soon as the words fell, An Jin was about to go for a run in person, but a young attendant came forward from the gate of Xuande Palace and whispered a few words in An Jin's ear.

An Jin then turned around again, walked to Shen Zhan in a few steps and bowed, "Your Majesty, Guifei Niangniang, Xianfei Niangniang, Zhuang Concubine Niangniang, and several concubines Guiji Niangniang ask to see." ”

Shen Zhan frowned, "Let Liu Shuxing and the others come in, and let the others go back to their own palace to stay!" ”

Yuan Wanyou lip-synced to Song Mier on the side: It's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

An Jin got the order, bowed lowly, turned around and left.

Song Mier opened his mouth again at this time: "Dexiu, go and lift that cloth, I'll see who it is." ”

Dexiu cried with a sad face: "Master, don't look at it, this little palace maid is in charge of the Biwu Palace......"

Song Mier interrupted Dexiu with a cold snort: "This palace said that you should lift the cloth!" This palace wants to see how she died! ”

Shen Zhan also had a cold face, "Do you dare not listen to the words of the queen mother?" ”

As soon as the two sentences of the queen and His Majesty came out, it was as if a thousand-pound stone grinding plate had been pressed for Dexiu, Dexiu's face turned white, and he didn't dare to shout in his mouth, so he walked up to the palace maid tremblingly, and lifted the sackcloth.

I saw that the palace man's closed eyes were still red and swollen, there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, there were scratches on his face, there were a lot of mud and moss on his dress and hair, his two hands were tightly clenched into fists, his clothes were torn, and in the holes in the torn clothes on his arms, there were faint traces of bruising, and one of his shoes was also missing, and there was a deep red mark on his neck, and some dark red blood stains were soaked in the linen cloth touched by the back of his head.

It seems that he went through a hard struggle before he died.

Song Mier closed his eyes in pity.

"Ah, what's going on! When a person dies, he doesn't let people live in peace, he has to be exposed to broad daylight! ”

Dexiu respectfully and fearfully obeyed the order to lift the white cloth, and waited for Song Mi'er to cover the cloth with a quick glance, but before Song Mi'er could speak, a coquettish voice came from behind Shen Zhan.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

There are a total of four people who came, that is, the summoned concubine Liu Shuxing, the virtuous concubine Lou Hengbo, the Zhuang concubine Chi Yanran and the Xue concubine Xue Zhiyi.

The coquettish voice came out of the mouth of the first noble concubine Liu Shuxing.

"Get up." was shouted by Liu Shuxing's voice, but Shen Zhan's expression did not fluctuate, as if he had expected that Liu Shuxing would say that as soon as he came. "What, do you have nothing to do when you're idle, do you have to come and see?"

Shen Zhan spoke casually at Liu Shuxing, like an old friend who had known him for many years.

"How can it," Liu Shuxing replied casually, "Isn't this concerned about Your Majesty and the Queen's mother, I heard that something happened in the Queen's Palace, but our sisters are worried, Your Majesty, you see, they rushed over from their respective palaces without making up properly." ”

Song Mier and Yuan Wanyou swept towards Liu Shuxing's body, and it was really much lighter than the previous outfits, but it was still a red robe embroidered with gold thread, lined with Liu Shuxing's delicate face, and the Biwu Hall was very springy, two points were given to Song Mier, who had not yet grown up, one point was given to Yuan Wanyou, one point was given to Lou Hengbo, and four points were given to Liu Shuxing, and the remaining concubines shared the two points equally.

"I've seen the queen mother," Liu Shuxing and the others were a blessing again, but before Song Mier could call up, Liu Shuxing stood up by himself, "Yo, Concubine Shu is also here, your legs and feet are neat, and you have stood with the queen mother so early." Queen Mother, what happened to this palace maid? It is not unfortunate to die like this and put it in this Biwu Palace! ”

Liu Shuxing didn't have the meaning of respecting Song Mier in or out of his words, and he also sarcastically said that Yuan Wanyou's team was early, and he followed the queen early without seeing the power, and Yuan Wanyou, who was beside Song Mier, frowned when he heard it, and immediately wanted to come forward to theorize.

was pulled by Song Mier.

Shen Zhan, who was standing opposite, didn't seem to hear Liu Shuxing's disrespectful words, and he didn't blame or block him.

Song Mi'er glanced at Shen Zhan, his face darkened involuntarily, but the words he said were sonorous and powerful: "Liu Guifei, this palace maid is the last palace person in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the backyard of Biwu Hall of Xuande Palace, named Ah Ran, who just passed her eleventh birthday last month, she is timid and delicate on weekdays, and today she is responsible for removing the moss on the rockery in the courtyard." The people in the Xuande Palace of this palace get along very comfortably and harmoniously, and they are not as good as your Yilan Palace. As for how she died, that's what I'm going to ask. Concubine Liu might as well wait for me to finish asking and then shout, it doesn't matter if you recognize the wrong person, if you mistakenly point out a matter of human life, no one can save you! ”

What Song Mier said in the last few words was that Liu Shuxing misconfessed himself in the primary election, and it was also a major event that Liu Shuxing and Song Mier lost in the first confrontation, which was a great shame for Liu Shuxing.

"You!"

Liu Shuxing was about to fight back, but Shen Zhan, who was surprised why Song Mier knew the details of the identity of an inconspicuous palace person, opened his mouth: "Shuxing, listen to what the palace person who knows the inside story has to say." How did this palace maid die? ”
