Another day later, early the next morning, Tao Ge had just gotten up, and Yufu walked in with a panicked look and said, "Nobleman, Chen Shuyuan is dead!"

"What!" Tao Ge was really shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly asked: "Good and dignified, how could she die!"

Tao Ge said, looking at Yufu, she thought it was Yufu who attacked Chen Shuyuan, but she saw that Yufu was also full of surprise, it was clearly not Yufu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yufu said: "The slave and maid don't know, but they just heard the news from Yingxiu from the Changxin Palace, saying that Chen Shuyuan fell into the water and drowned."

"Falling overboard?" Tao Ge was full of suspicions, even if Chen Shuyuan fell into the water, it would be impossible for her to drown, she was a native of Xunyang, she was accustomed to water, and she was born in a vulgar background, she was not a pampered lady of the scholar clan, she must have excellent water nature, how could she drown.

Besides, with her flamboyant temperament, if she wants to go out, she will definitely take several palace eunuchs with her, and if she falls into the water, she will definitely be rescued instantly, and she will drown in the water.

"Impossible," Tao Ge shook his head slightly, and then he stayed and said, "Go to the Changxin Palace!"

Seeing that she hadn't changed her clothes yet, Yufu hurriedly picked up the cloak and put it on her, and followed her to the Changxin Palace.

When I arrived outside the Changxin Palace, I saw Chen Shuyuan's body placed in the courtyard outside the Changxin Palace.

The cadres of the Changxin Hall all knelt around the corpse and cried, some of which were true and some were false, but Xi Ping, who knelt far away from everyone, did not shed a single tear, and did not even disdain to pretend.

Yingxiu knelt beside the corpse and cried darkly, Sima Dewen stood beside Yingxiu, also lowered his head and wiped his tears, but he didn't cry, but he was a backbone, just like his father.

Thinking that Emperor Jianwen Sima Yu died, Sima Yao ascended the throne as emperor at the age of eleven, and was still mourning for Emperor Jianwen at that time, and he should have cried at night, and told him that it was time to cry according to the convention, but Sima Yao said that he would naturally cry when the grief was in place, how could there be any convention at all!

Sima Dewen is still young, he doesn't know what the backbone is, but he also stood aside and secretly wiped his tears, as for Sima Dezong, that mentally retarded, he is now nine years old, but he is not as good as a five-year-old child, the body of the mother concubine is in front of him, but he doesn't even look at it, he just sits on the ground and gnaws his fingers, he has really become a fool, don't say life and death, I'm afraid that I don't even know hunger, cold, and warmth.

Seeing Tao Ge here, the two guards standing in the courtyard waved at her, "Noble." ”

Tao Ge bowed slightly, then walked to Chen Shuyuan's corpse, looked at the corpse expressionlessly, and asked lightly, "Where was this corpse found?"

The two guards followed, and one of them replied: "In Hualin Garden, in the morning, the two of them were patrolling the guards in Hualin Garden, and suddenly they heard a palace lady shouting, and followed the sound to find it, and the palace lady fainted in the pavilion, and the humble duty searched around, and saw a floating corpse in the river."

After he said that, another guard continued: "The humble duty salvaged the corpse, and when he saw that it was Chen Shuyuan, he hurried to send it to the Zhaoyang Palace, but the door of the Zhaoyang Hall was closed, and after the humble investigation, he learned that Chen Shuyuan had moved to the Changxin Palace, so he sent the corpse over."

It wasn't until they finished speaking that Tao Ge turned slightly to look at the two of them, frowning and suspicious, "Hua Linyuan?"

"Yes," the guard said, "The two lowly guards are the guards guarding Hualin Garden."

。 ”

At this time, an inner supervisor suddenly said in fear: "Lost your footing and drowned in Hualin Garden, shouldn't it...... Shouldn't it be Yu Ronghua asking for his life......"

Even the people around Chen Shuyuan believed that it was Chen Shuyuan who killed Yu Ronghua, which was really ridiculous.

"Nonsense!" Tao Ge was angry and rebuked: "Where are there ghosts in this world!" She had never believed in ghosts.

The inner prisoner was reprimanded, and immediately didn't dare to say anything, and Yingxiu also choked: "What nonsense are you talking about!" What does Yu Ronghua's death have to do with Shuyuan! ”

Tao Ge said: "Have you ever reported to Your Majesty?"

Chen Shuyuan and Tao Ge have a grudge, even if Chen Shuyuan is dead now, Yingxiu and Tao Ge are not kind, and replied coldly: "It's been reported!"

Coincidentally, at this moment, the inner supervisor who went to the Taiji Hall to spread the word ran back in a panic and called: "Noble! The nobleman is coming! ”

Tao Ge turned to look at the little eunuch when he heard the call, and when Yingxiu saw him coming back alone, he said suspiciously: "What about Your Majesty?" Why didn't Your Majesty come! ”

The little eunuch glanced at her lightly, and then said to Tao Ge: "Your Majesty said that Shuyuan died, he was very sad, he couldn't bear to see Shuyuan, and also said that Shuyuan's funeral matter, everything is generous, and it is left to Zhang Guiren to take care of it."

Tao Ge couldn't help but wonder when she heard this, Chen Shuyuan was dead, how could Sima Yao be sad, and how could she not bear to come and see her.

"Got it," she turned around and looked down at Chen Shuyuan's body, but saw some blood oozing from under her neck, and immediately became suspicious, she was already a little suspicious of Chen Shuyuan's drowning, and now she saw that there was blood on the back of Chen Shuyuan's neck, and immediately seemed to have caught evidence.

It's not that she regrets that Chen Shuyuan is dead, it's that she wants to find out the truth, it's just that Chen Shuyuan has done all the bad things, and she wants to know that besides her, who else wants her to die, and for what purpose is he killing her.

Tao Ge couldn't help but glance at Xi Ping, for a moment, she suspected that Xi Ping was the murderer, but after thinking about it, Xi Ping had just arrived at Changxin Hall a few days ago, at this juncture, she didn't dare to attack Chen Shuyuan, she didn't dare to take risks, and it was impossible for her to make trouble for herself, not to mention, Yu Ronghua and Wei Chonghua were also dead, and the bodies were found in the morning for three consecutive days, which can be regarded as a serial murder case.

If it was really Xi Ping who killed Chen Shuyuan, then the first two lives would be shared on her head.

"Turn her body over."

Sima Dewen automatically retreated when he heard this, but Yingxiu still knelt on the ground, and said: "Shuyuan is already dead, don't you allow her to be peaceful!"

The guard was helpless and looked at Tao Ge, Tao Ge gave him a look, and the guard forcibly pulled Yingxiu away, and another guard went to turn over Chen Shuyuan's body.

Tao Ge looked at the blood scab on the back of Chen Shuyuan's head, and thought, the back of the head was hit hard, and sure enough, he was thrown into Hualin Garden after he died.

The corpse was slightly swollen after being soaked in water, making it difficult to discern the hour of death.

When Tao Ge saw the wound, she couldn't help but think of Yuxiu, the eyeliner that Sima Yao specially placed next to her back of the year, was hit on the back of the head by Zhou Lu with a dust, and the body was thrown into the river after death.

Now Chen Shuyuan was also hit hard in the back of the head, and was thrown into the river after her death.

Tao Ge turned his head to look at Yu Fu, gave her a look, Yu Fu will, so he stepped forward to check the wound, took a closer look, and after a while, he turned around and whispered to Tao Ge: "It's dust."

。 ”

Tao Ge was slightly stunned, sure enough! Sure enough, it's Zhou Lu! It was Sima Yao who wanted her to die!

She paused and said, "Since that's the case, let's bury it thickly."

Yufu was slightly stunned when she heard this, she didn't understand why Tao Ge didn't pursue the real murderer, didn't she know who the murderer was?

Tao Ge said, looked at Xi Ping, and said: "Xi Ping, the funeral matter, the palace will be handed over to you, if you need anything, just go to the Jiaofang Palace to inform the palace."

Xi Ping was quite suspicious when he heard this, but he also responded: "Yes."

Tao Ge then turned to leave, and when he was far away, Yufu suddenly called, "Nobleman."

Tao Ge knew what she wanted to say, and said expressionlessly: "There is no need to track it down, it's Your Majesty."

Yufu was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more.

Chen Shuyuan was buried on the same day, and the coffin was sent to the Taimiao, where it was placed in the Taimiao for seven days and buried seven days later.

In the seven days that the coffin was in the Taimiao, except for Sima Dezong and Sima Dewen who wore linen and filial piety in the Taimiao according to the number of rituals, only Gu Xiurong went once, burned some paper money, and bowed four times.

Except for the three of them, no one burned paper money for Chen Shuyuan.

And Sima Yao has never even entered the door of the Taimiao.

As for the palace eunuchs in the Changxin Palace, according to the etiquette, they can only kneel in the Changxin Hall to cry for Chen Shuyuan, and they are not allowed to set foot in the Taimiao for half a step.

Seven days later, in the morning, the palace eunuchs of the Changxin Hall were still kneeling in the main hall and weeping, and suddenly twenty-four inner eunuchs carried twelve coffins to the outside of the Changxin Palace.

The twelve coffins were neatly placed in two rows outside the Changxin Palace, and when the palace eunuchs in the palace saw the twelve coffins, they were all panicked and frightened.

Seven days have passed, and today Chen Shuyuan should be buried, and their time of death has arrived.

Everyone cried bitterly for a while, but Xi Ping's face was calm, calm, she had counted, there were only twelve coffins outside, but there were a total of seven palaces and six inner prisons in the Changxin Palace.

Among the thirteen people, there was a survivor, and that survivor was undoubtedly her, because Sima Yao had promised to spare her life no matter what, so she didn't need to panic.

Before long, Tao Ge came to this, Yufu followed behind her, and behind their master and servant were five inner eunuchs, all of whom were holding white silk in their hands.

It seems that he still has to be strangled and then sent to the coffin.

Tao Ge walked to the main hall and saw that all the palace eunuchs were terrified, but Xi Ping was still calm, so he smiled faintly and said loudly: "Your Majesty said that Chen Shuyuan gave birth to the heir and made a meritorious service, and posthumously named Mrs. According to the regulations of the ancestors, Mrs. Chen went to the immortals, and all the servants of the Changxin Hall should be buried together. ”

As soon as she said that, the crying in the palace suddenly shook the sky, and the five inner eunuchs behind Tao Ge immediately approached, and they were going to strangle all those palace eunuchs to death.

Xi Ping saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Guiren, there are thirteen people in the Changxin Palace, but there are only twelve coffins outside, among these thirteen people, is there one who should be spared death!"

"Oh," Tao Ge nodded unhurriedly, gloating, "That's right, Aunt Xi is worried that there won't be a coffin after death?"

Xi Ping was stunned, "What do you mean."

！ ”

Tao Ge smiled and said nothing, just raised his two hands and clapped three times, and then saw two more inner prisoners carrying the coffin.

Xi Ping saw the coffin, and suddenly realized that Tao Ge wanted her to die! Tao Ge asked her to accompany Chen Shuyuan to the funeral!

Tao Ge looked at her and said unhurriedly: "Auntie, don't worry, I have prepared a different coffin for you."

Tao Ge said, the other twelve palace eunuchs have all been strangled, and the inner eunuchs carrying the coffin outside have come in one after another to carry the corpses away.

An inner eunuch holding a white silk was waiting behind Xi Ping, and Tao Ge made a gesture to him, and the inner eunuch stepped back.

Xi Ping immediately stood up and said angrily: "What do you mean! You want me to bury Chen Shuyuan! You want to get revenge on me! Xiao Taoge, let me tell you! I have His Majesty's death warrant! You can't kill me! ”

Tao Ge smiled contemptuously and said, "Your Majesty is Your Majesty, I am me, and it is I who wants you to be buried today, not Your Majesty."

"Why are you!" Xi Ping stretched out his hand and pointed at Tao Ge.

Tao Ge was still calm, and said: "Your Majesty has handed over the funeral of Chen Shuyuan to me, and the funeral is naturally in my hands, that is to say, your life is now in my hands."

Xi Ping was angry, he was going to do something to Tao Ge, anyway, Sima Yao might have promised her not to die.

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she raised her hand, her eyes suddenly darkened, her whole body was up and down, and she lost her strength in an instant, and immediately sat down on the ground, but the whole person was still awake.

Seeing her like this, Tao Ge said, "It's been in vain, this kiss is not for you to eat."

Xi Ping was shocked, "You! You ......"

Tao Ge turned to look outside the hall, looked at the two inner prisoners standing next to the last coffin, and said, "Come here, carry her in."

The two inner prisoners then came and carried Xi Ping into the coffin.

At this time, the rest of the coffins had been covered, but Xi Ping had not moved, Tao Ge turned his head to look at the rest of the inner prisoners who were carrying the coffins, and said, "You go first, and the palace will follow."

"Yes," the people carried the coffin away.

Tao Ge stood in front of Xi Ping's coffin, looking at Xi Ping with lowered eyes, and Xi Ping, who was still struggling, was probably compromised now, lying expressionless in the coffin, not moving.

Tao Ge sneered and said, "When you designed me to accompany the Empress Dowager Chongde six years ago, did you ever think that one day, you would also lie in the coffin and bury someone else?"

Xi Ping also sneered, but did not answer.

Tao Ge said: "Today I also want you to taste what kind of death it is to suffocate in a coffin."

"But I'm merciful, there is a small hole in the coffin lid, relying on this hole, you can hold it for at least three days, if you really can't hold it anymore, there is a dagger in the coffin, you can kill yourself with one sword, you don't have to suffer again, the dagger is at your feet, as for how to get this dagger," Taogo sneered, "That's your business." ”

Tao Ge said, and then said: "You colluded with Chen Guinu to kill me and almost died, I remember that you have a deep relationship with her master and servant, and I specially allow you to accompany her to the funeral, and you can still give advice to her when you go underground."

Xi Ping said at this time: "Do you think Your Majesty really likes you?" Xiao Taoge, let me tell you, sooner or later, what you have today will be lost

！ ”

Tao Ge sneered, "So what, I don't care, as long as you die, the revenge has been avenged, and you are not afraid of death, how can I care about power." ”

"Really? Back then, it was just the instigation of an old man, and this old man was the woman His Majesty hid in the deepest part of his heart, and you," she sneered, "but a substitute." ”

Hearing this, Tao Ge sensed that something was wrong, and frowned, slightly suspicious.

Xi Ping continued: "Your Majesty favors you, and King Langya loves you, but only because of your face, because you have a face exactly the same as Queen Ding!" They love Queen Ding, not you, Xiao Taoge, you weigh your weight in Your Majesty's heart! ”

Tao Ge was stunned when she heard this, she had a face exactly the same as Wang Fahui, Sima Daozi loved Wang Fahui, not her, she had always been just a substitute for Wang Fahui.

No wonder, no wonder Sima Daozi didn't save him when he saw death, it turned out that he didn't love her!

She loved the wrong person, and she loved the wrong person from the beginning!

Wang Fahui is not dead, yes, Wang Fahui is not dead, she remembers, she remembers that she saw that woman when she followed Princess Yuyao into the palace nine years ago, it turned out that she was Wang Fahui! It turns out that she is Wang Fahui!

She still remembered that she asked Huan Yi, but Huan Yi didn't tell her, she asked Sima Daozi, and Sima Daozi also deceived her, it turned out that all of them knew that all of them were lying to her!

Xi Ping was stunned when he saw Taoge, and said: "Xiao Taoge, you have been free for nine years, it's time to wake up, don't dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival anymore!"

Tao Ge couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and said angrily: "Cover the coffin!"

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, and Yufu hurriedly followed, calling: "Nobleman."

Xi Ping's mournful laughter came from behind him, "You can't find her!" You'll never find her! ”

Tao Ge is getting more and more upset, she must find Wang Fahui! Be sure to find her!

Yufu followed behind Tao Ge, thinking that she would go back to the Jiaofang Palace, but she didn't want to, so she went straight to the Qingxia Palace.

At that time, Sima Yao was not in the Qingxia Palace, she arrived at the Qingxia Palace, went straight to the east room, and after entering the east room, she didn't even remember to close the door, and went straight to the bed.

Walking to the bed, and kept lifting the bed board, but she couldn't lift it, but she was angry, very stubborn, and didn't even give up if she lifted it more, Yufu stood aside, seeing her crying with tears on her face, she was really worried, and called: "Your ......"

Tao Ge didn't seem to hear it, she was still carrying the bed, she remembered that she fell down the tunnel from here back then, and it was from this tunnel that she walked to Wang Fahui, but now, why can't the bed board be lifted, why!

Yufu couldn't move her, so he simply pulled her directly and called: "Nobleman!"

Tao Ge pushed her away with his sleeves, still lifting the bed board by himself, but he still couldn't lift it, until he couldn't exert any strength up and down, he didn't stop, and sat down on the ground, Yufu saw the situation and quickly knelt on the ground, held her arm, and called: "Noble."

Tao Ge had tears in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and muttered, "She's not dead, she's not dead...... You must find her, you must find her, Yufu, you must find her for me, you must find her for me......" (To be continued.) )
