Maybe it was Li Yuwei's insistence that moved the housekeeper Lao Qi, or maybe he was also unwilling in his heart.

He sighed, turned around, kowtowed deeply three times in the direction of the eldest princess's mausoleum, and then turned around and said, "County Lord, when the eldest princess entered the palace, the old slave was entrusted by the eldest princess to protect you who were traveling abroad at that time. ”

"The old slave really didn't know that the eldest princess would never come back after entering the palace, just as a general entrustment, until the eve of the death of the princess, someone sent a letter to the old slave, the letter said, let the old slave be silent forever, otherwise you will be in danger."

On the second day, the old slave originally planned to tell the eldest princess about this, but before the old slave entered the palace, the news of the eldest princess's death came! Shocked and more afraid, the old slave burned the letter. ”

Li Yuwei's face turned pale, and she asked, "Who gave you this letter?" ”

"At that time, the old slave went to check, but because it was night, the person's appearance was not seen clearly, and in the end, it was not ......" Speaking of this, the housekeeper Lao Qi looked at Li Yuwei with a little weakness, after all, he didn't find out about this matter.

Li Yuwei's heart also sank, who sent this letter? and her mother's death, she believes that it will not be the end of the medicine stone without a soul!

After a while, Li Yuwei said quietly: "Now all the news tells me that if you want to solve this mystery, you must go to the palace." ”

But now Li Yuwei is no longer the little county lord who can enter and leave the palace at will, how easy is it to investigate the case in the Qi Palace?

Qi Palace, a place that Li Yuwei has been very familiar with since she was a child, is so strange to her at this moment.

*Qi Palace, Imperial Garden*

"Yo! Isn't this the queen's sister and the virtuous concubine's sister? ”

A coquettish voice from a distance made Empress Shen, who was playing against Concubine Xian in the pavilion, frown, and she was not paying attention, her sunspot was surrounded by Concubine Xian's whiteness.

Concubine Xian smiled and picked up the surrounded sunspot and said, "Sister, I agreed." ”

"Chess is one move, chess is one move." Empress Shen said with some remorse, her eyes moved with the black child in Concubine Xian's hand, as if she was very reluctant to use this chess piece.

As soon as the words fell, Empress Shen smelled a burst of aroma, and the virtuous concubine in front of her had already stood up and said, "I've seen Concubine Shuniang." ”

Concubine Zhao Xian and Concubine Shen Shufei are in the same position, but Concubine Xian will bow halfway every time she sees Concubine Shen, but Concubine Shen Shufei will ignore it with the grace of Emperor Yongding.

Concubine Shen stood behind Empress Shen and performed a standard palace ceremony, "The concubine has seen the queen's mother." ”

didn't care if Empress Shen paid attention to her, and said to herself: "This garden full of flowers is blooming well!" As everyone knows, 'flowers are not red for a hundred days', and after seeing the flowers bloom, they will also be sentimental when the flowers fall. ”

"I didn't know that my sister was also a sentimental person!"

Empress Shen's words were not light or heavy, but Shen Guifei's heart was shocked, she glanced at Concubine Xian, who had almost no sense of existence, and said, "How can Sister Xian have time to play with Sister Empress today?" Shouldn't the things of the new show girl be very busy? Even the first few days ago, the Japanese palace sincerely invited you to decline! ”

It is true that she is afraid of the queen, but she is full of confidence to deal with a little virtuous concubine.

Concubine Xian was about to open her mouth to explain, but Queen Shen said coldly: "What? This palace and the virtuous concubine have to discuss with you? When did you manage it so widely? ”

The meaning of protection in her words moved Concubine Zhao Xian very much, and she was worried about how to deal with this difficult Concubine Shen Shu.

Concubine Shen Shu said with a slight cry: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

She knew in her heart that the current Empress Shen was no longer something she could easily provoke.

Unwilling, but had to show weakness.

Concubine Shen Shu was very aggrieved in her heart, but in the depths of her heart that others could not see, she had already slashed Queen Shen with a thousand knives.

"Since you already know that Concubine Xian is working hard for the draft, why do you bother her?" Empress Shen stood up, she was only half a head taller than Shen Yunwen, but in terms of momentum, she crushed Shen Yunwen by tens of thousands of feet.

Even if Concubine Shen didn't want to admit it, she had to secretly admire that since Empress Shen gave birth to Li Ao, it has become more and more impossible to take her eyes off.

"When the Seventh Prince reaches the age of marrying, the concubine wants to take advantage of this draft to pick someone for him who knows the cold and the hot." Shen Shufei replied honestly.

If she didn't want her son to choose a person with a good family and character, how could she go to the concubine in a low voice?

Empress Shen said lightly: "The Seventh Prince is the prince valued by His Majesty, and his marriage is naturally decided by His Majesty, how can you be good at making claims?" ”

The implication is that if your son wants to marry a wishful person, he can only go to Emperor Yongding.

These words gave Concubine Shen Shufei great confidence, it turned out that Ren'er's marriage was already in the hands of His Majesty, so as long as she was coquettish, she could take her son's marriage into her own hands, wouldn't it be that the school-age women of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers' families were all at Ren'er's choice?

Thinking of this, her eyes were a little hot, and she couldn't stay in the imperial garden, so she had to hurry up and find Emperor Yongding!

Then Concubine Shen Shu said: "Sister Queen forgives, and the concubine just remembered that there was something in the concubine's palace, so she retired." ”

At the end, it was rare to smile at Concubine Xian, who she had never wanted to see, and then left.

Just after Concubine Shen Shufei turned to leave, the corners of Empress Shen's mouth also lifted a smile.

How could she not know that what Shen Yunwen said about something in the palace was just a pretense? Don't think about it, after Shen Yunwen heard his words, he must have gone to find Emperor Yongding.

It's just that the current Emperor Yongding may not have the kung fu to take care of her!

Concubine Xian suddenly spoke up at this time: "Qi Yu Niangniang, according to your instructions, the concubine sent the roster of this year's show girl to His Majesty early in the morning for him to see." ”

Even if he didn't have his own arrangement, Chen Nuohan must have fallen into the eyes of Emperor Yongding.

Empress Shen turned her head to look at this tepid woman, staring at Concubine Xian's scalp tingling, and then she said slowly: "You are very smart." Only smart people in this palace can have the last laugh. ”

If you want to say that the reason why Empress Shen values Concubine Xian so much, I am afraid is her temperament.

The current virtuous concubine is very similar to her who was suppressed by Shen Guifei in every way before.

Concubine Xian lowered her eyes, and there was no fluctuation in her voice, and said, "The concubine should not be praised by her mother." ”

"You're doing a good job." Empress Shen smiled brightly, she rarely praised people like this, and said: "It's been these hours, it's time to go back to the palace, Xiao Jiu'er can't leave me." ”

At the mention of her son, Empress Shen's eyes were rarely gentle, and her gaze was like water.

Concubine Zhao Xian looked at it like this, and she was distracted for a moment, and when she reacted, she smiled and said, "The concubine sends the queen mother." ”

Empress Shen took the hand of a palace maid and left Concubine Zhao Xian's sight like this. (To be continued.) )
