Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Death of a Nobleman

On the second day after Tianqiao Pavilion went to the water, the big palace maid who served Mo Guiren was found dead in the bamboo forest near Tianqiao Pavilion, and the palace was panicked for a while, and after a few days, the virtuous concubine suddenly summoned all the concubines to Qiluan Palace.

When Su Dai arrived, Jiang Mi had arrived earlier, and when he saw Su Dai, he motioned for her to sit beside him. As soon as Su Dai sat down, he heard a bitter female voice laughing: "I heard the palace attendant say that when Tianqiao Pavilion caught fire, and even my aunt didn't know about it, Concubine Yi Niangniang and Shao Wanyi had already arrived. Su Dai raised his eyes and saw Sheng Han'an covering his lips and looking at her with a sneer.

Jiang Mi frowned lightly and said softly: "What does Jieyu mean by this?" ”

Sheng Han'an glanced at Jiang Mi and chuckled: "I'm afraid that Concubine Yi and Shao Wanyi didn't arrive in a hurry, but they already knew!" ”

When Jiang Mi heard this, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes: "Jieyu said cautiously, the concubine and Concubine Yi happened to pass by nearby when they visited the garden. If Jieyu has such kung fu, it is better to catch the real murderer for the concubine, why bother to ask for some bargains here? Instead, let the sisters see the joke! As soon as Jiang Mi's words fell, the warbler Chang Zai sitting in the hall laughed out loud.

Sheng Han'an saw that he had lost face, glared at Yingchang Zai fiercely, and said sharply: "Shao Wanyi is guilty of the following crimes, rushing into the palace, Fang Fei, slap her mouth for the palace!" ”

"Jieyu wants to slap Shao Wanyi's mouth, the reason is the following offense. Then dare to ask Fang Cai Jieyu what should be the crime of slandering this palace without evidence? I'm afraid that I can't calm things down without a palm mouth! Su Dai looked at Sheng Han'an, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

Sheng Han was extremely angry, gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, and only got up for a while to apologize: "Concubine Fang Cai is stubborn with Shao Wanyi, and Concubine Yi is too careful." ”

Jiang Mi saw that she was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and chuckled: "The concubine doesn't dare to be stubborn with Jieyu, Jieyu is temperamental, true and false temper, the concubine can't guess it." ”

When Su Dai heard this, he smiled slightly, Sheng Hanan didn't dare to say anything more, so he gritted his teeth and smiled: "Shao Wanyi said that she was laughing." ”

Concubine Ning took the teacup and watched it lightly, and then looked at Sheng Han'an, who was holding her breath and depressed, and couldn't help chuckling and didn't speak.

Twilight hurriedly walked out of the room and said, "The concubine has arrived." For a moment, everyone was busy getting up and saluting.

The virtuous concubine wore a green embroidered Hunan skirt, even though it was covered with thick makeup powder, it was still difficult to hide the haggard fatigue between her eyebrows and eyes, and even the red gold dots between the double buns were dimmer than usual.

"Get up." The virtuous concubine still sat down with a dignified demeanor, but the tiredness in her voice could not be hidden.

As soon as everyone sat down, they heard Sheng Han'an get up and say, "Auntie, I heard from the waiter that on the day Tianqiao Pavilion went to the water, Concubine Yi and Shao Wanyi arrived early. ”

Concubine Xian raised her hand and rubbed her head gently, and said a faint "oh" and did not speak, Sheng Han was anxious: "Auntie, why didn't you ask them if they knew earlier that Tianqiao Pavilion would catch fire?" ”

Su Dai glanced at Sheng Han'an, only to hear Concubine Xian said lightly: "What did Sister Concubine Yi say?" ”

Su Dai looked at Concubine Xian and said, "The concubine and Shao Wanyi went to the garden that day, and happened to pass by the vicinity of Tianqiao Pavilion, but the concubine did not take the road in front of Tianqiao Pavilion, but turned to the liquid flower pool. ”

"Concubine Yi's sister went to the garden after the heavy rain, but this timing is also suspicious." Concubine Ning slowly put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyebrows and said.

Jiang Mi got up and bowed slightly, and said softly: "Guifei Niangniang Mingjian." Concubine Yi Niangniang recovered from a serious illness that day, and the concubine proposed that the weather was not hot after the rain, so she could go out for a walk to recuperate, so she went to the garden with Concubine Yi to relax. It's just that when I met Tianqiao Pavilion and walked the water, everything was a coincidence. ”

Sheng Han'an snorted coldly: "Shao Wanyi is really smart, she wants to pick it up clean with a coincidence." ”

Jiang Mi looked at Sheng Han'an with a straight face: "Jieyu is eager to catch the real murderer for the concubine, but she can't slander people out of thin air with white teeth." ”

Su Dai sat on the seat and listened quietly to their argument before getting up and said, "Actually, when the concubine and Shao Wanyi visited the garden that day, they saw a very interesting thing, and I want to hear it with you today." ”

Sheng Han'an's eyebrows were full of sarcasm: "When is this, Concubine Yi is still in the mood to tell stories!" ”

Su Dai just ignored Sheng Han'an's ridicule, glanced at Yan Guiren who was holding back the panic with his head down, and continued: "That day, the concubine met the Yan Guiren who looked panicked near Tianqiao Pavilion, if the concubine is not mistaken, the direction in which the nobleman came is the direction where Tianqiao Pavilion is located. ”

As soon as he mentioned himself, Yan Guiren immediately knelt down, looked frightened, and snorted: "Guifei Niangniang Mingjian." The concubine did not pass by Tianqiao Pavilion, and the concubine came from another fork in the road to meet Concubine Yi Niangniang and Shao Wanyi. ”

Jiang Mi glanced at Yan Guiren, who was kneeling on the ground and weeping, and said, "Then why is there no palace person serving your nobleman?" ”

There was no emotion in the expression of the virtuous concubine: "What is the explanation of Yan Guiren?" ”

Yan Guiren's voice was choked, and his head hit the ground: "It rained heavily that day, and the concubine found a place to shelter from the rain, and later saw that the rain was getting smaller, so the concubine sent Pinghui back to get an umbrella, and asked the concubine to be clear!" ”

"Then when Concubine Yi asked you at that time, why did you look flustered, as if you had bumped into something!" Jiang Mi frowned without a trace, she intuitively felt that Yan Guiren was lying, but there was no evidence.

Yan Guiren cried so much that he looked miserable: "The concubine didn't lie. ”

Concubine Xian frowned and said, "Why did Yan Guiren talk about him left and right, Shao Wanyi just asked you why you looked flustered, but she didn't say that you lied. ”

Yan Guiren lowered his head and sobbed silently, gritted his teeth, raised his head and said: "That's because the concubine's veil was lost, and when she bumped into Concubine Yi and Shao Wanyi, the concubine happened to be looking for a veil, as for Concubine Yi, she didn't see that there were palace people around the concubine, because Pinghui was also sent by the concubine to find the veil." ”

After Yan Guiren spoke, all the concubines in the hall had different expressions, but they all looked at Su Dai and Jiang Mi in unison.

The palace concubine's handkerchief sachet is a personal thing, if Yan Guiren looked panicked because of the loss of the handkerchief, it can be explained, but Su Dai still suspects that he has missed something.

"It seems that Concubine Yi is eager to prove her innocence, and insists on diverting attention to Yan Guiren, but it's a pity that Yan Guiren has lost her veil, and I'm afraid that Concubine Yi will be disappointed." The sneer on the corner of Sheng Han'an's lips remained unchanged, and he glanced at Su Dai.

Su Dai got up and bowed slightly to the virtuous concubine who was sitting upright: "What the concubine and Shao Wanyi said is true, and I am willing to believe the words of Yan Guiren." If the mother has doubts, she can find the waiter who was on duty near the Lihua Pool that day, and the concubine believes that where the concubine and Shao Wanyi set foot, the waiter will also report truthfully. What's more, the concubine and Shao Wanyi didn't say a few words to the noble man, so how could they deliberately murder them! ”

Jiang Mi also got up and saluted, lowered her eyes and said, "What Concubine Yi said is that there is a decision made by Concubine Niangniang, and I believe that no one will frame it." ”

Concubine Xian still couldn't see any emotion on her face, but Sheng Han was in a hurry, and was about to speak, but she was stopped by Concubine Xian's faint glance.

Concubine Xiangui said lightly: "Sister Yi and Shao Wanyi get up, this palace has its own opinions on this matter." ”
