The moon rises in the middle of the sky.

Chu Yueqing finally came out of the stuffy palace and returned to Zhuxin Courtyard.

Dongmei returned home earlier, three or two glasses of wine, pride in the rivers and lakes, eldest brother and uncle, eldest brother Xiao and Xiao Xun, they used to travel the rivers and lakes together, wanton and chic.

It was only when the war broke out and there were no generals in the DPRK and China that they had no choice but to put down the chic rivers and lakes, put on armor, and fought on the wolf-smoke battlefield.

However, the soldiers spilled blood on the battlefield, and these superiors were already mired in treacherous contention.

Dongmei was in a state of turmoil and left the General's Mansion early.

At this time, she was lying on the soft and comfortable little bed that she had cleaned up, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

"Knock," there was a knock at the door, and Dongmei was lazily reclining on the edge of the bed, her eyes glancing at the closed door. I thought: Who is so short-sighted, Miss Ben is in a bad mood!

"Dongmei, are you there?" Chu Yueqing looked at the flickering oil lamp in the room and muttered, "It can't be sleeping, right?" ”

"I'll be woken up by you even if I sleep, you just came back from the palace?" Dongmei opened the door with little interest, "If you don't have something serious, be careful that I kick you out." ”

It seemed that it hit the muzzle of the gun, Chu Yueqing smiled wryly, walked straight to the house, and closed the door very easily, and said, "Of course it's the right thing." ”

Dongmei was silent, got up and went to clean up her delicate and comfortable little bed.

——

When he came to the underground secret room for the second time, Chu Yueqing felt more and more that the layout of the secret room could be described as ingenious.

On the empty ground, she didn't see any pillars on the surface, as if the chamber had been created out of thin air.

"I forgot to ask you last time, when did you dig and build the secret room?"

"Is this the right thing?"

"No", Chu Yueqing thought of the purpose of his coming here, and began to indifferently explain what happened: "There was a poisoning case in the palace today.

happened in Concubine Hui's palace, saying that someone poisoned Concubine Hui's meal. Fortunately, the meal was tasted by the little eunuch first, so Concubine Hui was fine. ”

Dongmei's face changed slightly, and she said, "How do you know?" ”

"The old emperor invited all the people in the palace to the Changchun Palace of the queen's mother with great fanfare, and executed four palace maids and eunuchs in public."

Chu Yueqing said this, a little uncomfortable, "I don't think it's hard to know, that's four lives." ”

Dongmei gently patted her shoulder, silently comforting.

Chu Yueqing paused and continued: "However, things are strange here, the old emperor obviously said at the beginning that he wanted to find out about the matter, and it was useless for Concubine Hui to intercede. Later, he didn't do it anymore, and directly executed four palace maids and eunuchs.

I was thinking that the old emperor had said before that he already knew who the murderer was, and wanted the murderer to confess. But none of the four admitted that they had poisoned themselves. Why did he kill all four of them without finding out?

His later behavior was completely different from his previous attitude, and he had already summoned so many people to Changchun Palace together, there was no reason to solve the matter in such a daze, right? ”

"Are you sorry for those four innocent dead?" Dongmei asked.

"The doubts are also true, I always feel that things are strange everywhere." Chu Yueqing replied, unlike seeing those corpses in Qinwu Academy, this time she was not afraid, but regretful, and a little heartache and chagrin.

But she knows what she is capable of, and she also understands the ruthlessness of the world. The lives of little people can always be picked lightly. She could only accept these facts, and now she only hoped that she could become strong.

lest when others hurt the people around her, she can only protect herself, or live secretly?!

She thinks she can't do it, so at the moment she desperately wants to grow and be strong.

Dongmei sorted out her thoughts, in fact, she almost had a guess, so she said: "Is there anything else going on, you think about it carefully." ”

"Do you have an answer?" Chu Yueqing asked

"Probably. However, we will have to listen to the rest of the details after you finish it. ”

Chu Yueqing carefully recalled the situation at that time, and said one by one like Dong Mei.

"You said that the third prince asked you if you had anything to say when the old emperor interrogated you?"

"Yes," Chu Yueqing was stunned and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Dongmei was a little embarrassed, and didn't know whether to tell her the answer, but finally spoke: "I probably think there are two reasons, but I'm not very sure." Just listen for now.

First, it may be that the person who murdered wanted to kill was the little eunuch who tried the dishes, and he had already inquired in advance. That's why it's poisoned in the diet.

Second, it was this incident arranged by Concubine Hui herself. ”

Chu Yueqing's pupils widened, "Concubine Hui herself?" Why did she kill a little eunuch in such a big move?! ”

Dongmei was still soft-hearted in the end, and did not directly tell Chu Yueqing the reason, but only said vaguely: "I just guess, I can't count." ”

"No way, I look at her with a good face. And she also said that it might be someone outside the palace who murdered her, and she also..."

Chu Yueqing stopped speaking abruptly, and his head seemed to have been struck by lightning. The palace maid who shouted for help to Concubine Hui? The third prince's malicious inquiry? The old emperor's attitude was very different before and after?!

If the death of the little eunuch was a challenge to the old emperor's imperial power, he was furious. Then his later peace of mind may mean that he already knows the truth, at least he has doubts in his heart.

Who will be the one who can make the old emperor settle down? It's probably Concubine Hui, the victim of the matter.

"What is her purpose in doing this?" Chu Yueqing asked Xiang Dongmei, although she had understood the truth of the matter, but what was the reason?

In the secret room, the faint candle flame on the round table flickered between the two, flickering and dimming, and the faces of the two people were particularly delicate. Dongmei stared at the expression on Chu Yueqing's face carefully, thinking that she shouldn't be pretending, and said helplessly: "Are you really not trying to figure it out, or are you unwilling to figure it out?" Think about it, who is the most ignorant in a room full of people? ”

Chu Yueqing said: "Me? Are they trying to harm me? ”

Dongmei nodded and said, "Maybe it's not just you. ”

Chu Yueqing let out a cold sweat on his back, and shivered in the impermeable secret room. She almost fell for it...

After a while, Chu Yueqing asked, "Do you know Moori?" Or can you just sue me if she can be trusted? ”

Dongmei didn't want to hit her again, and replied honestly: "Before she entered the palace, she studied medicine with my father. ”

Chu Yueqing's face was overjoyed and asked, "Your father is the master of Moweaving?" ”

"Yes."

"Great, can you ask him to come to the capital?"

"Haha! Well, my dad would probably like it. Dongmei thought about her father's face, and then thought of Yueqing's title, and couldn't help laughing.

Chu Yueqing didn't think there was anything wrong with this title, so he just waited quietly for Dongmei to finish laughing, and then answered her.

After a while, Dongmei stopped laughing and said, "Didn't you ask me to write a letter to my mother a few days ago?" I guess they'll come together then. Do you want to find my father? ”

Chu Yueqing didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I want my uncle to take a look at Xuanyuan Hao, and observe him recently, I think he may be accused by someone, maybe he can be cured." ”

Chu Yueqing told Dongmei what happened in Qinwuyuan that day, and after Dongmei heard it, her face became stern, and she pondered for a while and said, "I know, I'll write a letter again, and ask my father to come over." ”

Chu Yueqing smiled relaxedly, "Okay." (To be continued)
