Shu E and the queen were both shocked, Shu E couldn't help but stand up, looking at Shun Jieyu with straight eyes, but she couldn't speak with her mouth open.

He softened his breath and explained to the queen.

After the wooden maid got up in the morning, he said that he would go out for a walk, and he would not let the maids follow. Yushu and Qinglian, the maids of the wooden imperial attendant, were only in the house, everything was cleaned up, just waiting to comb the hair and change clothes for the wooden imperial attendant, and come to ask the queen for good morning, but they couldn't wait for the shadow of the wooden imperial attendant. The maids went out to find someone, and at that time, everyone in the four halls was familiar with the courtyard of the house, and they all said that they had not seen the wooden imperial attendants come to walk around. The wooden imperial attendant usually came to ask for peace with Lin Zitong Lin Imperial Attendant of Du Feng Garden in the Autumn Pavilion, but Lin Imperial Attendant was still freshening up in Du Fengyuan and did not go out, and the maids knew that the wooden imperial attendant had not yet left the back garden.

In a panic, the little yellow men who were running around looking for people found the wooden imperial attendant in the area of Diecui Mountain in the back garden.

"His face was covered in blood, and the skin on his face was scratched by the rocks." There was a look of unbearability on his face.

Shu E was just thinking about the events of the afternoon before yesterday in her heart, and a person's name kept coming to her mind, Concubine Rong Li Jingping.

"The back garden has become a mess, and when Qin Meiren heard this, she was even more shocked and had abdominal pain. has passed the imperial doctor to take care of the beauty of the qin, and the concubine to repay the queen. He said with red eyes.

"Who's taking care of the back garden at the moment?" The queen had already helped Zhan Xi's hand to get up, walked all the way to the Yan family, nodded to Shu E, and said, "Let's go to the back garden together." He also asked Zhanxi to send someone to repay the emperor and the queen mother.

"Concubine Rong is taking care of everyone in the back garden." He followed the queen forward, and replied briefly with a slight choked voice.

The queen was silent, and Shu E cried several times, but she had to secretly wipe it away. Out of Kunning Palace, Hua Fu, who was originally waiting for Shu E, also followed Shu E.

Halfway through, the queen suddenly said: "Let her stay in the back garden, let you come to report, is it also Concubine Rong's idea?" ”

The queen nodded silently, and stopped talking.

When the queen arrived at the back garden with her and Shu E, Mu Xiaoxia's body had already been carried to a pavilion far away from the rockery, and her head and face were covered by a thin shirt. The maids of Bai Shaoyuan gathered around the corpse, and Yushu and Qinglian were already crying silently.

Shu E saw that there were faint traces of blood in the place covered by her clothes, and the road next to the corpse was all speckled and dripping red, and she couldn't help but feel sad and desolate in her heart, and lowered her head to wipe her tears silently.

The rest of the back garden was quiet, only the imperial doctor came in and out in front of the Shining Sun Pavilion.

Hearing the news that the queen had arrived, Concubine Rong had already greeted her from the Yaoyang Pavilion, greeted the queen, and said, "How to deal with this matter, please ask the queen to show me." "I seem to have cried.

The queen frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you carry the wooden imperial attendant into the house and put it here, what kind of system will it be?" ”

When Yushu and Qinglian heard this, they both hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to the queen.

Concubine Rong had tears in the corners of her eyes, glanced at Yushu and Qinglian who were lying on the ground and begging the queen, and said: "It's not that the concubine is unwilling to settle the body of the wooden imperial servant, it's really that the Qin beauty has been frightened when she gets the news, and if she openly carries the body into the Yaoyang Pavilion again, I'm afraid that the Qin beauty will not be good." Then he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing Concubine Rong like this, the queen mentioned the womb of Qin Meiren again, but it was not good to say anything.

Concubine Rong hurriedly said: "There are people living in each house in the four halls, and their new concubines are young, so they can't see this." Wherever the wooden imperial attendant is placed in the fourth hall, it is not appropriate. Now the Taiqing building where I live is still spacious, I live in the main hall, and Songjie lives in the east side hall. The west side hall and the annex courtyard of the back garden are also empty. Putting the wooden imperial attendant outside is really not a unit, so it is better to ...... Move to my side for now, right? ”

The queen looked at the Yan family, nodded to Concubine Rong and said, "If you are willing to do this, it is naturally the best." ”

Shu E's eyes were already blurred from crying, not because she had much friendship with the wooden maid, but because of an involuntary feeling of pity in her heart. And such a talented, virtuous, lively, lovely and generous-minded young woman as the wooden maid died suddenly here for no apparent reason, which is always unavoidable.

Shu E still thought to herself that she saw Mu Xiaoxia in the back garden the night before, when she was wearing a light blue dress and a pair of fragrant satin shoes on her feet, although she couldn't see Mu Xiaoxia's whole body clearly, she could still feel her lightness and cuteness.

At this moment, when Shu E heard Concubine Rong's words, she was greatly surprised. Shu E looked at Hua Fu and saw the look of doubt in Hua Fu's eyes, presumably with such doubts in her eyes.

Concubine Rong and the queen's words, Shu E listened to them, but it added to the sadness.

Seeing the queen's approval, Xiao Huangmen, who had already found a wooden plank in the back garden, walked up and put Mu Xiaoxia's body on it.

The board was found by the little eunuch in a hurry, and the board was a little short. Mu Xiaoxia's head hung limply from the board, and although his face was still covered by the thin clothes, the hair on the back of his head was exposed.

The little eunuch who was carrying the board couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he didn't dare to lose his hand, so he had to try his best to stretch out his arm, so that his body was far away from Mu Xiaoxia's head.

With a "dang" sound, a golden hairpin fell from between Mu Xiaoxia's unkempt hair.

Yushu couldn't help crying out with a "wow", took two steps and his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground, picking up Mu Xiaoxia's golden hairpin with both hands.

Xu was because of the heavy fall, and one of the two pearls on the head of the golden hairpin has disappeared. Qinglian stretched out her hand to help Yushu, but couldn't help but cry with Yushu.

Shu E felt a sour feeling in her heart, walked forward with Hua Fu, pulled Qinglian and Yushu up, and said softly: "Don't cry anymore, go and take a hand, take care of your mother, don't have anything happen on the road." ”

When Yushu and Qinglian heard this, they hurriedly wiped away their tears and walked to the board to take care of Mu Xiaoxia's body.

This time it was closer, Shu E saw the golden hairpin in Yushu's hand at a glance, and the laminated gold leaf of the hairpin head inlaid with beaded flowers had been twisted, and it could be imagined how heavy the fall of the wooden imperial servant was.

Shu E looked at Mu Xiaoxia's hair scattered and dull like dry grass in late autumn, with a lot of dried blood stains on it, the color and appearance looked terrifying and weird, and she was also deeply sorry in her heart, but she couldn't help but be secretly frightened in her heart. Shu E reached out and squeezed Hua Fu's hand, and a very warm warmth came from Hua Fu's dry hand, ironing Shu E's palm in a cold sweat.

Shu E was about to follow to Taiqing Building to see the placement of the maids and maids, Hua Fu hurriedly took Shu E's hand and whispered: "The queen is still here, lady, wait a while." ”
