Chapter 379: Investigation
He Meiren couldn't stay in the palace for too long, and finally buried before the fifteenth day of the lunar month, as a gift to Jieyu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And because the New Year is approaching, He Meiren is a criminal concubine again, and the funeral is extremely simple.
As for He Meiren's death, nothing has been found out until now.
In the Changkun Palace.
Mu Qing sighed and said to Lin Yan: "The current situation is still very unfavorable to Concubine Shu, and those palace people in the cold palace are still determined that the palace maid who sent food to He Meiren has the most contact with the palace maid around Concubine Shu, and has also received the most rewards from Concubine Shu. ”
Lin Yan said: "If a palace person says this, it may be that this palace person has a hard mouth." If all the palace people say this, it means that they are telling the truth, at least the facts that they can see on the surface. "There have never been so many hard bones in this world, let alone these palace people who serve people.
Lin Yan continued: "In order to win the hearts of the four princes, Concubine Hu Shufei asked the people around her to visit He Meiren in the cold palace often, and generously rewarded the palace maids who sent food and clothes to He Meiren, so that they could take more care of He Meiren in the future, and it was entirely possible that someone took advantage of this opportunity." ”
Mu Qing continued: "There is also a medicine to kill He Meiren's horse money*** Recently, only Hu Shufei's prescription is there, so only Concubine Shuniang has recently used it. And Gonggong Wan found out outside the palace that the Hu family had recently purchased a large number of strychnine, but according to the Hu family, Mrs. Hu also had wind paralysis, and the strychnine was used to dispense medicine for Mrs. Hu. ”
Lin Yan said: "Concubine Hu Shu's wind paralysis may be hereditary, Mrs. Hu has it, so Concubine Hu has it after she is old." Wind paralysis is most likely to occur in winter, and Hu Jiajin strychnine dispensing medicine is indeed possible. He Meiren's death will definitely not be the hand of just one person, he can inquire about the affairs of the Hu family outside the palace so clearly and take advantage of this opportunity, and he can also use the palace maid to poison and kill people in the palace, at least two groups of people. ”
Lin Yan's first thought was Princess Hui, who was close to Jiang Zhaoyi.
Lin Yan sighed again: "It's a pity that the flavor medicine of strychnine is too common and commonly used, and I am afraid that I will not get much clue from the direction of strychnine." ”
This also shows that the people behind the scenes are indeed a little clever and know how to use strychnine, a commonly used but highly poisonous drug, instead of using pure poisons such as arsenic.
Mu Qing looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Niangniang, do you believe that this matter was not done by Concubine Hu?" ”
To be honest, so much evidence points to Hu Shufei, and Hu Shufei has this motive, even Mu Qing is a little unsure that this must not be done by Hu Shufei.
Lin Yan said: "I'm not sure, I just have an intuition that I'm not a concubine." After a pause, she said: "Concubine Hu Shu, maybe sometimes she thinks that it is better for He Meiren to die, so that the fourth prince belongs to her, but if she really wants to do something to kill people and set fires, she may not be able to do it." Concubine Shu is still soft-hearted and timid, and she is not entirely stupid. Didn't she know that if she really killed He Meiren, the four princes would hate her for the rest of her life. ”
Mu Qing lowered his eyes and did not speak again.
After coming over for a while, he asked again, "What about the palace maid's family?" ”
Mu Qingdao: "The palace maid's hometown is not far from the capital, and it is said that half a month ago, the family suddenly made a windfall, and then disappeared." After speaking, he shook his head and said, "It's hard to say whether he has been killed." ”
Lin Yan sighed, didn't speak for a long time, just frowned.
After a while, he asked again, "What about Wu Guifei and Jiang Zhaoyi?" ”
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "Wu Guifei didn't do anything else except deliberately tell the four princes about He Meiren's death and sow discord between the four princes and the concubine. As for Jiang Zhaoyi, she was even quieter, and she couldn't see anything to do with He Meiren's death. ”
Lin Yan paused and said, "Wu Guifei is not like a person who can do such a meticulous thing, but Jiang Zhaoyi is too quiet, which is abnormal." ”
Saying that, he sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's see what Gonggong Wan can find out." He asked again, "What about Concubine Hu Shu and the four princes?" Are you okay now? ”
Mu Qing looked at Lin Yan, shook his head, and said: "The fourth prince lingered in the hospital bed for more than half a month before he got better, but it seems that he is a little estranged from Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu is now a suspect again, and while she is anxious about how to get rid of the charge, she doesn't know how to explain it to the fourth prince." ”
Lin Yan frowned.
At this time, in the imperial garden, the fourth prince, who had just recovered from a serious illness and still had a haggard look on his face, walked by on the road.
Then I suddenly heard someone whispering on the side.
One said: "I heard that He Meiren in the cold palace was poisoned by Concubine Shu, and the queen also knew about it, but in order to protect Concubine Niangniang, she deliberately didn't say it." ”
The other said: "No, I see that Concubine Shu usually listens kindly." ”
"I don't know my heart, I don't know my heart, which one of the ladies in this harem is not a deep city. The lady concubine raised the four princes, and she definitely didn't want the four princes to always think about He Meiren, so why not ...... the palace people made a "click" movement on their necks.
The fourth prince stood there, he knew that someone had deliberately asked them to speak to him, these days, wherever he went, he could always hear such similar words inadvertently, but he didn't know why he stopped to listen to them.
The mother concubine was poisoned, but he didn't know who killed her?
Is it really his own adoptive mother? Thinking of Concubine Hu Shu, who was wholeheartedly good to herself, the four princes didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Eunuch Chen, who followed the four princes, looked at the four princes, and hurriedly coughed twice to warn the palace people.
The palace people turned around and saw that the four princes seemed to be frightened, so they quickly knelt down and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince forgives his sins." ”
Eunuch Chen glared at them with fierce eyes, and said in a cold voice: "I see that you don't want to live anymore, the queen mother has already ordered that the harem servants must not criticize the master, but you are here to talk about the rights and wrongs of the masters, what about your housekeeper aunt, I will let her send you to the Yeting Palace." ”
Several palace people hurriedly kowtowed and shouted for mercy.
Eunuch Chen originally wanted to reprimand a few more words, but at this time, the four princes suddenly left with their heads down and their feet raised, and Eunuch Chen had no choice but to glare at them again, and then followed the four princes.
Not long after they left, a woman in palace clothes led the palace maid to appear behind them, looking at the four princes walking away in the distance, and gradually showed a smile.
Jiang Zhaoyi looked down at the palace people who were kneeling on the ground and were originally begging for mercy, and said in her heart, this should be Wu Guifei's person.
Originally, Wu Guifei who wanted to do it had already done it for her, but she had a lot of things left for her.
Jiang Zhaoyi looked at the four princes in the distance again, what would he do? He must have had a problem with the four princes now, so it's good. (To be continued.) )
