The main hall of the palace is the main hall

Gong Zhengsi's palace people, Qi Shushu stood below, guessing the reason for the sudden convening of this Gong Zhengsi, after a long time, Zhu Yanxi belatedly came, looked at the palace people below, sat on the main seat of Gong Zhengsi, and after accepting everyone's salute, Zhu Yanxi slowly spoke: "Presumably, everyone must have doubts when they come here so late, right?" Zhu Yanxi looked at the people who bowed their heads and were silent, and continued disappreciably: "There is a big event announced today, Gong Zhengsi must take care of your mouth for me, if someone leaks half a sentence, he will be killed directly!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Yanxi's fierce voice made everyone a little uneasy.

"In the hands of this official, this hairpin is from the hands of the master of our harem, and this hairpin was indeed found next to a mysterious dead person, I am afraid that this matter is very widely implicated" Zhu Yanxi paused: "So I want you all to give me 12 points of spirit, find out which palace this hairpin is owned, of course, but anyone who can make outstanding contributions to this case and find out clues, this official will be promoted according to performance, after all, this case is not so easy, who has the ability, who has the pay, This official will never favor one over the other, you understand? ”

"But my lord, the hairpins in this harem are not unique. The emperor's reward may have to go through the records, remember how to hide it? "A palace man is blessed.

"yes, yes, how can we do that?" The echo of the squirming sounded below.

Zhu Yanxi glanced at Nan Xian, "My young lady has already thought about this, now only Jieyu committed suicide, but no one knows what is going on with Lu Dao, just use this as an excuse to investigate, then naturally it will be unaware, so as long as our palace officials keep their mouths tightly closed, there will not be a word or a half leaking out." ”

"Nan Xian, let's take a look at this hairpin first~" Zhu Yanxi nodded towards Nan Xian, only to see Nan Xian carefully holding the hairpin, slowly walking towards everyone, the three-color purple hairpin in her hand was handed to the palace people, and a quarter of an hour later, the purple hairpin returned to Nan Xian's hand.

"Everyone, but you've taken a closer look, what are the clues?" Zhu Yanxi asked lazily, after all, the matter of the mother's relatives is so short a few years, and there are not many palace people out of the palace in the past few years, so there will definitely be people who can recognize this thing, which is why they want to create a fake.

"Okay, let's disperse first, from now on, this matter is the top priority, I hope you will put more effort into it." Zhu Yanxi waved everyone back.

Sure enough, not long after the palace people retreated, Nan Xian heard that someone asked to see her.

"The slave has seen the adult."

"Get up, you are looking for this official, what is the matter?"

"Lord Hui, this hairpin, the slave maid has seen it, but this hairpin, there is not only one, how to find out this?" A small voice came from below.

"Oh?" Zhu Yanxi raised her eyebrows, "What's your name?" ”

"My lord, slave Wang Jia."

"You say, you know this hairpin, so how much do you know about this hairpin?" Zhu Yanxi sat up straight and looked at the palace man named Wang Jia.

I saw Wang Jiafu and said: "My lord doesn't know, the slave maid used to be in the palace of the Shangfu Bureau, this purple three-leaf hairpin was a good sister of the slave maid at that time, ah, no, it was the former Xie Cairen, who made it himself." ”

"Xie Cairen?" Zhu Yanxi raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, Xie Cairenjing is the sister of the slave, and she is also in the Shangfu Bureau." When Wang Jia mentioned Xie Cairen, the sadness in his eyes was difficult to hide.

"If this palace is not mistaken, now in the harem, there is no Xie Cairen" Zhu Yanxi frowned.

"If you go back to your lordship, it's because Xie Cairen was given death six years ago!" Wang Jia's tone was instantly much higher-pitched, and the excitement and unwillingness in his eyes made Zhu Yanxi slightly stunned.

"Wang Jia, you sit down first and talk about it." Zhu Yanxi calmed Wang Jia's emotions, and there was a measure in her heart, six years ago, six years ago, why did these things point to the cause of death of her mother?

Wang Jia, who calmed down a lot, choked back tears and said word by word about Xie Cairen's past: "Xie Cairen and slaves have known each other since childhood, and after entering the palace, they help each other and comfort each other, but she always has a lot of novel gadgets and ideas, which is why the hairpins she makes are very suitable for the hearts of the palace masters." And that time, Xie Cairen's three-leaf hairpin was favored by the concubine Niangniang, and was also favored by the virtuous concubine Niangniang, the two Niangniang for this hairpin, actually quarreled, and it was precisely because of these things, I don't know how, the emperor actually summoned Xie Cairen, and on the same day, Xie Cairen was fortunate to Xie Cairen, and gave the title, and then, Xie Cairen also responded to the emperor's will, and hurried to make two more purple three-leaf hairpins, dedicated to the emperor. ”

"Three?"

"Yes! The emperor sent hairpins and rewarded them to the noble concubine Niangniang, the virtuous concubine Niangniang, and one to the concubine Niangniang. Wang Jia replied: "It's just that this Xie Cairen's hairpin, how can a few mothers look at it, Xie Cairen offended several mothers who were favored at that time, and soon, he was charged with poisoning the emperor's heir, and the emperor didn't think about the old feelings, and he didn't even check the ground, so he gave Xie Cairen to death with a holy decree." ”

Zhu Yanxi understood at this moment, but I was afraid that the emperor had favored Xie Cairen from beginning to end, not because he liked it, but because he deterred these harem women to be obedient, Xie Cairen was just a chess piece that could be discarded anytime and anywhere, how could there be old feelings.

Looking at Wang Jia with a sad face, Zhu Yanxi also roughly understood that this Wang Jia would go to Gong Zhengsi, and he also wanted to find out the truth for unfair things.

"Wang Jia, why are you in Gong Zhengsi, what do you want yourself to do?"

When Wang Jia heard this, he knelt on the ground, "My lord, I only hope that I have the ability to find out the truth, instead of watching it like this, I can't have the slightest opinion on anything." ”

Zhu Yanxi poured cold water, "But you have been in the harem for so long, you should also understand that many things are not something you can do if you want to~"

"Back to the adult's words, the slave and maid understand, but they haven't tried it, and the slave and maid are unwilling."

"Do you know that even if the official gives you an identity, an identity that can investigate the case independently, then is your life important or unwilling to be important?" Zhu Yanxi pointed out directly.

Raising her head, Wang Jia looked sincere: "My lord, the slave and maid are afraid of death, but the slave and maid are even more afraid that the little conscience they have will die in this harem, day by day, year after year, they will become like them, like a cold-blooded and ruthless animal with the insensitivity of the walking corpse, watching the people of the harem come and go, the tide rises and falls, and even more, calculating others, becoming minions, and doing things that have no conscience." ”

Looking at Zhu Yanxi, Wang Jia hesitated: "Moreover, the slave doesn't know whether to say something or not." ”

"In front of this official, you just need to speak truthfully~"

Wang Jia bit her lip, "This hairpin is fake." ”

For Wang Jia's words, Zhu Yanxi was a little surprised, what Sikong Bo did was almost fake, how did this Wang Jia know that it was "fake?" ”

"Yes, fake."

"How do you know if the Tao is true or false?" Zhu Yanxi didn't speak, just looked at Wang Jia directly.

"It's because the slave has been learning this job with Xie Cairen since she was a child, and Xie Cairen's work will always have a different thing, and it is also a habit, but no one has found it. I don't know how to go, have you ever smelled this hairpin? Wang Jia's words made Zhu Yanxi hesitate for a while, "Smell? ”

"Yes!" Wang Jia nodded: "The slave maid once heard Xie Cairen say, she said that every hairpin is her brainchild, she hopes that the hairpin she makes, even if no one sees it, is also unique, and will always be filled with fragrance, but the fragrance of the hairpin, there is a difference, that is, the attraction is always the outermost part of the hairpin, and those hairpins that are hidden in the hair will not be known to anyone, so the hairpin body made by Xie Cairen will add a touch of jasmine fragrance when the hairpin body is fused, so, many people thought it was smeared, so this hairpin, on top of the clover, was smeared with spices. ”

Zhu Yanxi nodded with satisfaction, "This official believes that Xie Cairen has a confidant like you, and Jiuquan will also be blind." ”

"The slave knows that the case that Lord Lu Dao wants to investigate is related to this hairpin, even if it has nothing to do, the slave and the maid hope that the adult can give the slave and the maid a chance, please fulfill it." Wang Jia put her head on the floor and spoke earnestly.

Zhu Yanxi motioned for Nan Xian to help Wang Jia up, got up and said with a smile: "Even if you don't say that this official has this plan, there are not many people like you in this harem, not to mention that this official is also temporary, and I also hope to be able to keep an available person by my side for the queen's aunt." ”

never thought that Zhu Yanxi would have such an answer, Wang Jia was grateful, choking back tears.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank me now, it's still early, when this matter is over, the official has his own plans!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yanxi smiled: "This Xie Cairen's technique, I don't know how to do it, can you?" ”

Seeing that Wang Jia nodded, Zhu Yanxi waved his hand and didn't say anything more, and as soon as Wang Jia left, Zhu Yanxi picked it up, the real three-leaf hairpin, smelled it, and sure enough, the fragrance of this hairpin body is much richer than this petal, and it is the kind of fragrance that comes from the inside!

"Nan Xian, let's go, I'm afraid, this time, there are really people, and I'm in a hurry." Zhu Yanxi smiled and slowly left Gong Zhengji.
