Chapter 14: Mystery Case

Two days later, in the early morning, Duanmu Chen had just come out of Xianyuan Pavilion, and Jiang Yan had already gotten up and sent him to the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's unbearable, go back quickly." Duanmuchen brushed Jiang Yan's broken hair behind her ears, looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "Today is not the day to say goodbye." Tired you like that last night, get some more sleep. ”

Jiang Yan covered her mouth and yawned slightly. A few days after coming to Beizhuang, the queen sent a decree saying that the midsummer was difficult, lest the concubines be impatient, so they were exempted from asking for peace every day, and they could gather in Jinyu Palace every five days. This will also made Duanmu Chen very satisfied, and generously rewarded the queen.

She lowered her long eyelashes and gently tugged at Duanmu Chen's sleeve: "I don't have to sleep, Sister Zhao also invited the palace sisters to Zhuchun Palace to enjoy the lotus in the morning, and the concubine will go over after cleaning up." ”

Concubine Zhao? Lotus appreciation? What is she going to do again? Just as he wanted to tell Jiang Yan not to go if he didn't want to, he saw a little eunuch running from afar, and his face was panicked: "Dead, dead......"

Mu Lin immediately ordered someone to cover the little eunuch's mouth, pulled it aside and asked carefully, and then came back to report: "Your Majesty, Zhen Jieyu, there is an accident in Concubine Zhao's palace." The patrolling guards found two corpses in the lotus pond outside the gate of Zhuchun Palace, a man and a woman, respectively, the Niu Taiyi of the Tai Hospital, and the palace maid next to Yancairen. ”

Duanmu Chen was very unhappy when he heard this: "There is no day of peace in this harem!" He looked at Jiang Yan again: "You can rest in the palace, you don't have to get involved in many things." ”

Jiang Yan shook her head: "The concubine still went to see, Sister Li had just had an accident, and the concubine was a little worried about her." It's not early, the emperor should go to the front court, the affairs of the harem will be handled by the queen's mother, and the emperor doesn't have to worry. ”

Duanmu Chen patted her hand and left with Mu Lin and the others.

Jiang Yan stood at the gate of the palace and did not move. This incident did not appear in the plot materials, and it was related to Li Yarou...... Rubbing his eyebrows: "Peilan, help me change into plain clothes, let's go to Zhuchun Palace to have a look." ”

When Jiang Yan arrived at Zhuchun Palace, the lotus pond was full of people, and the relevant Concubine Zhao and Li Yarou were already standing on both sides of each other, and Li Yarou still had a few tears on her face. Liu Xiaxuan stood far away from the crowd, looking worried and anxious. Jiang Yan silently withdrew her gaze, and Liu Xiaxuan put on this expression, which must indicate that this matter must be related to her. Is Liu Xiaxuan going to deal with Concubine Zhao and Li Yarou, or is Concubine Zhao facing Li Yarou?

Thinking of the content in the information, Liu Xiaxuan was a person hiding in the shadows and stretching out her black hand everywhere before the fall of the queen, it seems that Concubine Zhao dealt with Li Yarou, but she fell in love with her.

I generally want to understand what is going on, and it has nothing to do with myself, so Jiang Yan is also happy to watch the play.

After a while, the queen hurried over, with a heavy expression on her face. The two bodies had already been recovered by the eunuchs, and the servants brought by the queen began to examine the corpses, and the chief of the guard, who had discovered the situation first, was also brought to report the situation to the queen 1510.

"The minister inspected as usual, walked to the lotus pond, and found a hairpin by the pool, afraid that which master accidentally fell, the minister ordered someone to put it away, the queen, please see, it is this hairpin." The little soldier behind the chief of the guard handed a golden hairpin to the aunt beside the queen: "Then the minister felt that the position of this hairpin was a little strange, just on the grass by the pool, too close to the pool, so the minister took a few more looks at the lotus pond, and happened to see the red clothes of this female corpse." ”

All the concubines covered their noses as if they had heard something terrible.

And Li Yarou was already crying and kneeling at the queen's feet: "Queen Mother, that is Qing'er next to the concubine, who was still chatting with the concubine yesterday afternoon, the concubine really didn't expect to ...... today" The fan beside her also knelt down: "Ask the queen to be clear, although Qing'er is a second-class palace maid next to our master, but the master is benevolent, and Qing'er has a good relationship with slaves and maids." The slave maid had just asked Qing'er about Hong'er in the same room, and they were still chatting before going to bed last night, but then Hong'er fell asleep, and when she woke up in the morning, she found that Qing'er was not in the house......"

Shuangyu beside the queen answered: "Then this little hoof must have come out to have a private meeting with someone after sleeping in the same room." ”

The queen also frowned and said, "The palace maid and the imperial doctor have a private meeting......

Concubine Zhao suddenly interrupted the queen's words and said sharply: "How can a second-class palace maid know the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital!" If you want the concubine to say, it must be that Yancai and this imperial doctor have a personal relationship, and this palace maid helps Yancai to pass words or deliver things! ”

The queen looked at Concubine Zhao unhappily, the palace maid had a private meeting, and it would be okay to find one or two insiders to kill her, if it was a palace concubine, she didn't know how much chaos she was going to set off, why was this Concubine Zhao so ignorant?

"Since Concubine Zhao understands so well, why don't you explain to the palace why these two people drowned in the lotus pond at the entrance of your palace?" The queen asked coldly.

Concubine Zhao's expression became more and more crazy: "Who doesn't know that she Li Yarou has always been at odds with my Zhuchun Palace, she must have let this little hoof respond to someone at the gate of my palace, I'm afraid she will frame me one or two!" God is pitiful, let these two people fall into the water, otherwise I don't know what kind of dirty water to pour on the concubine!! ”

"Falling overboard?" The queen's expression was a little playful, but Li Yarou, who was kneeling at her feet, cried bitterly: "The concubine begged the queen to find out, Qing'er's death was so unclear, the concubine originally only asked for a truth, but I didn't expect Concubine Zhao to slander the concubine so much...... The concubine begs the queen to be the master! After speaking, he kowtowed, and the fan also kowtowed: "The slave doesn't know why Concubine Zhao said this, but this imperial doctor has never served my master, and the master doesn't know this imperial doctor. ”

Concubine Zhao's voice was even sharper: "You are just a minion, how do you know about such a thing as a private meeting with the imperial doctor!" That is, because Qing'er was an inconspicuous second-class palace maid, she was sent to do this, so she died!! ”

"What are you arguing about!" Duanmu Chen strode over, Mu Lin stumbled and trotted behind him, and he didn't even have time to shout when the emperor arrived.

"Greetings to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live." A group of women hired Tingting to bow down, and their eyes looked at Duanmu Chen with affection.

Duanmuchen walked directly to Jiang Yan's side, held her hand and pulled her up: "Let's get up." He patted her again: "Are you alright?" ”

Jiang Yan enjoyed the jealous gaze cast from all directions, and replied, "The concubine is fine...... It's the queen who has worked hard. ”

Duanmuchen let go of her, let go of her, and walked to the queen's side to stand still: "It's hard work queen, I rushed back in one go." How's it going? ”

The queen looked at Duanmu Chen with an embarrassed expression, do you want to tell him that your favorite concubine is having an affair with the imperial doctor? Besides, it is inappropriate to rashly bring out something groundless without any evidence, and it is still such a taboo topic. Or do you want to tell the emperor that there has been no progress yet? Doesn't that show that she is very incapable as a queen?

In embarrassment, the man who examined the corpse came to report: "Your Majesty, your queen's mother, neither of them has any injuries on their bodies, and according to the inhalation of water, both of them died after falling into the water." The time of death is probably between the ugly time and the middle time. ”

Slip overboard! The queen instantly smoothed out a line, and said to Duanmu Chen neatly: "Your Majesty, the concubines have been carefully inquired. Qing'er, the palace maid who fell into the water, is a second-class palace maid in the Yancai Palace, and she sneaked out of the palace last night after sleeping in the same room, and had a private meeting with people here. Xu was too dark and the people were weak-hearted, so the two fell into the water, and the guards did not find the bodies until they passed by the patrol in the morning. As he spoke, he motioned to Shuangyu to show the hairpin to Duanmu Chen: "The chief guard found this hairpin by the pool, it should be that the palace maid slipped and fell into the water and lost it in a panic." ”

Duanmu Chen glanced at the hairpin casually, and waved his hand to let Shuangyu take it down: "In this case, the palace maid does not abide by the palace rules and fornicates with others, that is, she is dead, so let's go to the mass grave in Xishan." The palace maid in the same house didn't find out, or had the intention to help hide it, so they were killed and thrown to Xishan. Check out who else is in the imperial doctor's family, and go to southern Xinjiang. ”

Concubine Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief, could she just let Li Yarou escape? She shouted, "Your Majesty! was pulled by Wen'er behind him.

Duanmuchen glanced at her, then at Li Yarou, who was still kneeling on the ground, and continued: "Yancai is not strict, and he has been thinking about it behind closed doors for three months. Concubine Zhao, since something happened at the gate of your palace, you should also take more precautions in this palace, don't go out and walk around at will if there is nothing to do in the future, and don't have any lotus feasts. After a pause, he said, "Let's all go back and clean up our palace, I don't want to see such a thing again." ”

The multitude possessed should be.

Duanmu Chen patted the queen's hand: "There are many affairs in the harem, and the queen works hard. I got a new colorful embroidered bird-like screen, which is not expensive but interesting, and I will go back and let Mu Lin send it to your palace to show you to relieve your boredom. There are still many excerpts to be approved in the previous dynasty, and I left first. ”

The queen also smiled: "Political affairs cannot be handled, and the emperor should also pay attention to rest and take care of the dragon's body." As if thinking of something, she glanced at Jiang Yan and said: "Zhen Jieyu has always been loved by the emperor, and she is also smart. ”

Duanmu Chen waved his hand: "The matter of the previous dynasty, what did she mix with the harem women." I'm gone. ”

The smile on the queen's face was even worse: "The concubine sends the emperor off." ”

"The concubine sends the emperor."

Jiang Yan pouted in her heart, this queen never forgot to stumble on her. If the emperor took her to the study, the entire harem would definitely hate her to death. Now that she is rejected, everyone looks at her with schadenfreude, and a few are angry as if they are angry why the queen would promote her. Is......

0039 is also reminding her: [Yan Yan, the queen's favorability towards you is 0 now. Don't forget that you're going to brush her too. 】

"Don't worry," Jiang Yan replied silently: "I have my own way, you just wait and see." ”

How angry Concubine Zhao is doesn't need to mention anymore, even Liu Xiaxuan is puzzled when she returns to the palace, could it be that Li Yarou knows their plan? It's impossible. It can only be said that Li Yarou's luck is too good, Xu is Qing'er fell into the pool when she came to answer Doctor Niu, hey, it's a pity that such a good plan. Concubine Zhao is such an idiot. Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have a chance. What a shame......

Before everyone's eyes could be dispersed from the gossip about the affair between the palace maid and the imperial doctor around Yancairen, another message came out early the next morning.

Concubine Zhao's side of the palace maid Wen'er drowned in the lotus pond.
