Chapter 181: Drama

Everything is as usual in the palace, Concubine Liu's death is the same as Concubine Xiao, she will go as soon as she goes, and no one will worry about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Xiao Junwan met yesterday's Liu Guiren and them on the road, and the two of them had smiles on their faces, completely without the sadness of yesterday.

When Xiao Junwan came to Xiwei Palace again, there were still bursts of crying inside, but the sound seemed to come from the bottom of his heart and seemed to be painful.

The minions of the guardian all knelt in the temple, crying weakly, as if they had lost the heart to pretend.

And the mournful whimper came from a woman sitting by the temple.

Cai'er stood beside the woman, shaking her fan and persuading: "People can't be resurrected after death, and Mrs. mourns." ā€

Xiao Junwan walked into the hall, the heat came to his face, it was autumn, the summer heat outside had already receded, the candle fire paper money burning here made the hall extremely hot, and he didn't stand for a while, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

When Cai'er saw Xiao Junwan, a trace of timidity flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head and called, "Lord Shangyi." ā€

"Who is this?"

"This is Mrs. Qian, the mother of Concubine Liu." Cai'er said to the woman again, "Madam, this is Lord Shangyi, Your Majesty ordered Lord Shangyi to investigate the case of Concubine Liu's death." ā€

Mrs. Qian walked tremblingly, holding Xiao Junwan's hand and choked up: "Lord Shangyi, I beg Lord Shangyi to catch the murderer of Yan'er, who is so vicious, even Yan'er and the imperial heir in her womb will not let go." ā€

"Madame, rest assured, the slave maid should do her best to live up to Your Majesty's expectations, find out the real culprit, and comfort Concubine Liu's spirit in the sky."

Xiao Jun said nothing, walked towards the dormitory, and glanced back at Concubine Liu's tablet, remembering Concubine Liu's name, he couldn't help but see the scenery of Cangshan at sunset in front of him, adding a little desolation.

"Cai'er, come in with me."

"Yes."

Xiao Junwan took the palace maid Cai'er into the dormitory and instructed Ziying to cover the door.

"I don't know what the lord has to call the slave and maid in, what do you command?"

Xiao Junwan deliberately raised his voice and said, "Naturally, it is to investigate the case." ā€

"If the adult has anything to ask, just ask, the slave knows everything, I just hope that the adult can catch the murderer as soon as possible and avenge my mother."

This maid said this with blood and anger, Xiao Junwan listened expressionlessly, and couldn't help but admire this maid's acting skills, Cai'er was not cautious enough, but when something happened, she was still a little bit fearless.

"Your loyalty to Concubine Liu is touching, Concubine Liu trusts you, and I understand it, so I only believe what you say, presumably you won't harm Concubine Liu."

"Niangniang is as kind to the slave and maid as a mountain, and the slave and maid should help the adult find out the truth and let the mother be blind."

Xiao Junwan said lightly: "Actually, this case already has some eyebrows. ā€

"What did you find?"

Xiao Junwan glanced at Cai'er, who was anxious, the more anxious this maid was, the more weak she was.

"There is musk in the ashes."

"Incense ash? But the incense that Niangniang burns when she worships the goddess of mercy on weekdays? ā€

Xiao Junwan nodded, raised his eyes to look at the picture of Guanyin, using musk to make the concubine slip the tire, it is not uncommon in the palace, Xiao Junwan saw the incense burner full of incense ash at a glance, so let people check from the incense, and sure enough, there was a problem.

And the incense burner was deliberately discovered by her.

The hall was cleaned extremely cleanly, and no one poured out the incense ash alone, which was really abnormal and attracted Xiao Junwan's attention.

And the person who lured her to find out that Xiang had clues must be directing her attention to Xiang to investigate the case, so Xiao Junwan will concentrate on tracking down the mastermind behind Musk, and will not notice that there are other people who use other means to kill Concubine Liu.

This Cai'er has long known that the incense is strange, she doesn't pour the incense ashes, and lures Xiao Junjuan to check the incense, so that Xiao Junjuan will not find out what she has done on the clothes, and those clothes may be the reason for Concubine Liu's death.

Xiao Junwan is not in a hurry to dismantle the disguise of this servant, today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she also needs Cai'er to accompany her to finish this scene.

"Did you know that musk was added to that incense?"

"The slave doesn't know."

"Musk is harmful to those who are pregnant."

Cai'er said angrily: "Who would use such vicious means to harm Niangniang? ā€

"If no one sends that picture of Guanyin to Concubine Liu, Concubine Liu will not burn incense and pray, yesterday I went to the inner house to check, this painting was not sent by the inner house, do you know who sent the painting?"

Cai'er thought for a moment and then said, "Yes...... It's the crown princess. ā€

"The crown princess?"

"The slave also wondered, before the mother was pregnant, the crown princess and the lady were estranged from Concubine Liu, how could they kindly send the statue of Guanyin, so that Concubine Liu could worship every day, so as to ensure that Niangniang could give birth to the prince."

"So, those incense sticks were also sent by the crown princess?"

"Incense...... The incense was sent by the Inner House. ā€

Xiao Junwan glanced outside the door, presumably the people outside had heard their conversation clearly.

"This matter is not trivial, until there is no definite evidence, it must not be spread outside, and I will go to the inner mansion to find out the origin of that incense." After Xiao Junwan finished speaking, he walked out of the dormitory.

Xiao Junwan went out and saw Mrs. Qian wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and the tear stains around her eyes were almost dry, which showed that she had just spent her mind on listening, and she had no time to cry sadly.

"Madame's mourning, the slave and maid retired first."

"Lord Shangyi, I hope that Lord Shangyi can speak up impartially and fairly."

Mrs. Qian's words also confirmed Xiao Junjuan's conjecture, she and Cai'er's words, Mrs. Qian heard them, Mrs. Qian's words were to let Xiao Junjuan not care about the power of the crown princess and Shuguifei, and tell the truth to Emperor Taihong.

"Madame, don't worry, the slave has her own measure."

Even if Mrs. Qian doesn't say it, Xiao Junwan will not let go of this great opportunity, although she now knows that the painting was given by Su Shengxue, and the incense was most likely sent by Concubine Shugui's inner mansion, but she has no evidence, and she can't easily denounce it, and when the evidence is conclusive, there will be no place for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to turn over.

But there is another person who murdered Concubine Liu, who is that person?

Xiao Junwan couldn't think of anyone else who had a holiday with Concubine Liu, so she told Cai'er that she was going to the inner mansion to find out the origin of the incense, but in fact, she was looking for an excuse for herself to enter and leave the inner mansion, so that the master behind Cai'er would not be suspicious.

Before Xiao Junwan and Ziying left Yuning Palace, they had asked Hongling to cook Concubine Liu's clothes by the stove, and when they returned to Yuning Palace, the clothes were almost cooked.

Several people stood in the small kitchen of Yuning Palace, and Hongling scratched her head: "Miss, it's the first time I've seen cooking clothes and investigating the case." ā€

"Some poisons can't be seen when they are smeared on clothes, and only when the poison melts in the water can we know whether the clothes have really been poisoned."

Xiao Junwan scooped a spoonful of water and tested it with Yujue, the black silk was dense, and it was really poisonous! (To be continued.) )
