Chapter 35: Dissecting the Heart

"The Empress Dowager accused the people around Concubine Liu for not serving well, causing Concubine Liu to be killed by the assassins, in addition to the eunuchs who served beside her, she also killed two guards who were on duty that night." Bu Xihuan snorted.

Twilight Qing frowned, "It's only been a month since Concubine Liu died, and the news has spread from Bianhe to Shengjing, and the will will will come back from Shengjing, enough time?" ”

"Eight hundred miles are urgent, and it only takes ten days to go from Bianhe to Shengjing. Two days before you entered the palace, Yi Zhi arrived at the palace. ”

Twilight's brows furrowed even tighter, "Eight hundred miles in a hurry?" ”

Bu Xihuan ascended the throne at the age of six, so far there are no heirs, it is rumored that he was fifteen years old and did not accept the palace concubine after he became a man, the queen mother was angry for this, but Bu Xihuan had an absurd and uninhibited temperament, the concubines in the Shengjing Palace, the queen mother gave every year, people died every year, I heard that they could not stand the moodiness of the emperor, and they were tortured to death. Before the emperor came to Shengjing this year, the empress dowager gave another palace concubine, which was Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu lived up to the expectations of the Empress Dowager, and once won the emperor's favor, she came to Bianhe with her to play. The Empress Dowager put the expectation of extending the dragon heir on Concubine Liu, and never thought that people would die on the dragon boat as soon as they arrived at the Bianhe River.

The Empress Dowager was furious about this and wanted to blame the palace people, which was reasonable. But does Yi Zhi need to rush down to the palace for 800 miles? If the order is to urge the arrest of the assassin, it can still be understood, but the next order is to kill people?

Gong E's guards were all killed in anger, is there any way to investigate the clues of the case?

Twilight didn't know the delicate feelings of Shangyuan Palace eighteen years ago, she only heard her father say that her mother's family was the family of the Shengjing Shi clan at that time, and Zhong Ming Dingshi's home was overturned, the men were all killed, and the female dependents fell into official slaves. Mother mentioned very little about the things of the year, my father was a servant, he was in a small county in the south of the Yangtze River, and he knew very little about the affairs of the court, and he knew a little more than the rumors in the world.

The affairs of the world, the affairs of the DPRK and China, Twilight has always felt far away from her and her father's life, so she has not bothered to ask, but today she regrets it, she can only speculate based on the little things she heard from her father.

It is rumored that on the night of the death of the first emperor, the Zuo Xiangyuan family united with the Daxing subordinate state Nantu to launch a palace mutiny, beheaded the three kings and the seven kings in the palace banquet in the name of killing the king, and washed the palace city in blood. The Empress Dowager was in the cold palace at the time, and after the palace change, she came out of the cold palace and presided over the overall situation in the palace. At that time, although there were only five kings and six kings left under the knees of the first emperor, and the empress dowager had no children under her knees, she summoned the sons of the six kings to the palace and raised them under her knees to ensure that she ascended the throne as the emperor.

At that time, the first emperor still had a sister and a brother, and it was a matter of course to see that the Yuan family changed from the palace to control the court situation, but in fact, the undercurrent was surging with resistance. The Empress Dowager was able to sit firmly in the palace under such a situation, and chose a grandson of the first emperor, and ensured that he ascended the throne as the emperor at the age of six, and let the Yuan family assist the government to this day.

In this case, Concubine Liu is dead, and the Empress Dowager will really be so angry that she doesn't ask the assassin, and only kills the palace guards with a decree to get angry?

Twilight doesn't believe it, no matter how you look at this edict, there is a problem! She looked at Bu Xihuan, he just let the Empress Dowager kill everyone?

But then she understood that he knew who was the culprit who killed her father, and he might also know who was responsible for Concubine Liu's death. Now that he knows, it doesn't matter to him whether those palace guards stay or not, but for her, the death of these people means that the clue is broken.

Twilight turned, glancing at the bones on the ground. It took a night to process the bones of the corpse, and she also planned to look at today's weather, and if the weather was good, she would steam the bones to check the injuries and see if Concubine Liu had any injuries before she died. If so, then call the guards or palace people on duty nearby and ask if they heard or saw anything that night, so that they can see that there is a suspicious person. But now, everyone is dead, the clues are broken, and the night's busyness has only achieved such a small result.

Glancing at the hyoid bones in her hand, Twilight crouched down and put the bones back together, then she took a closer look at the bones.

"Still want to test?" Bu Xihuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Test!" Twilight looked at the bones on the ground without looking up. In the past, autopsy did not result from a single examination, and it was common for clues to be broken and re-examined.

She didn't believe it, and she couldn't find a new clue! After examining the bones, she wanted to go to the dragon boat again.

At the beginning of the golden crow, the young man squatted on the ground, knowing that the clue had been broken, but he carefully examined the bones in front of him, as if counting them one by one, looking at them one by one, he could see the path of his father's grievances. The depths of the mountains and forests were filled with golden light, crossing to the back of the young man, and suddenly feeling resolute.

Behind her, the man looked at her, his careless eyebrows changing to a dull color. The mountain wind blew the wide sleeves, and the fingers under the sleeves snatched the jade color, and slowly lifted up, wanting to fall on the young man's shoulder.

The shoulders were thin, and the morning light on the shoulders was like a clear frost, and the man's fingertips touched it, and he suddenly trembled!

As if stabbed by the frost, he withdrew his hand and looked down at his fingertips.

Just now, he wanted to tell her who the murderer was......

It was a deal, she was at his disposal, and he showed her a way to find the murderer.

Why, however, did he almost ...... in just one day

The man fixed on his hand, his jade fingers soaked in cold, and his eyes were shocked.

When he first saw her, the official of Gushui County said that he didn't take her to heart. She asked a bandit to deliver a letter for her, and another useless person also spared his life. However, after all, she mislooked at her, and when she saw it, she judged the situation, forbearance and hibernation, and struck it out in one fell swoop!

The woman's body made him see a familiar figure in a trance-himself.

So the assassin let her go, wanting to see what kind of revenge path she could take. I never thought she would run into the road with him, and I didn't want to let her go again.

The imperial power of the country is killing every step of the way, and he needs her ability to observe words and colors for him to use. The deep palace is lonely, the night is long, eighteen years of spring and autumn, cold and summer, he has never been alone, and he wants to find someone to accompany him for the first time. However, the person who came with his own hands was only with him for a day, and he almost let her go.

After all, it was the sentence "Mingjun" that entered his heart.

Whether it is greed or exploitation, he sues himself, with her temperament, if she knows who the murderer is, she will definitely take the risk of revenge, just like the night detective Shi Fu. Rather than fall into the hands of others and lose his life, it is better to accompany him on this precipice road, wait for him to reign in the world, and wait for her to take revenge.

The man looked at the back, but the back suddenly turned around, and the look in his eyes in the morning light made him suddenly wake up and put down the hand in his sleeve.

Listen to her ask: "Your Majesty has been lucky enough to spoil Concubine Liu?" ”

He was stunned, and when he heard her ask this with a clear expression, he didn't know why there was a kind of love in his heart that he had never experienced before, and he didn't know what to call that love for a while.

"No, I didn't." He replied with a faint joy rising in his heart, expecting to see her as well.

She looked as she should be, and her tone was a little strange, "Concubine Liu was newly given to Her Majesty by the Empress Dowager?" ”

"Yes." He finally heard something was wrong, "What? ”

"But she ...... Childbirth! ”

She looked at him, and the look in her eyes, he understood—you're cuckolded, Your Majesty.
