In the evening, the sunset burned half of the sky, and the slanting sun was like blood.

In Jingren Palace, all the subordinates have already retreated, leaving only Concubine Xi and Yi Huan alone, saying something that is afraid that the wall will have ears.

Concubine Xi looked leisurely, played with the jade blessing bracelet in her hand, and said proudly, "With Caiyun's chess piece, Gu's every move in the future will not want to escape the eyes of this palace, if she dares to be pampered and arrogant and wants to climb to the head of this palace, there is only one way to die." ”

Yi Ying said kindly, "Where is Gu Chang qualified to compete with you, she is too self-conscious, thinking that she can dominate the harem by enjoying the emperor's exclusive favor for a while, and acting arrogantly without knowing how to restrain herself is simply stupid and ridiculous." ”

As the saying goes, feng shui takes turns, this sentence also applies to the harem, who has not been favored by the emperor, but whose grace has been for a long time, a temporary favor can not give the concubines a lifetime of happiness and health, just a short period of joy.

Concubine Xi has entered the palace since the emperor was still the prince, and today, her status has risen from an inconspicuous personality to a noble concubine, and the ups and downs of honor and disgrace experienced in the middle are not something ordinary people can imagine. Accustomed to seeing the emperor's favor for other women, Concubine Xi has long lost her jealousy, and she will not be jealous like others, and fight openly and secretly for the sake of favor.

In the eyes of the emperor, Concubine Xi is virtuous and considerate, and she will never be entangled for one more sleep or more reward. But in Concubine Xi's heart, Yiqiē is not so simple, she is not indisputable, not fighting, not grabbing, but what she values is not the ethereal grace, but status, power, and the emperor's trust.

Everyone thinks that Concubine Xi is the emperor's favorite concubine, so she can sit in a high position and hold power, but in fact, the emperor is a person who misses the old, Concubine Xi has been by his side for many years, and his kindness to Concubine Xi is just out of long-term trust and care.

These concubines all understand, so she never minds which concubine has received the most favor, but she can't see that others have the momentum to threaten her status.

The emperor has not many heirs, the queen is weak and childless, and her son Hongli is so outstanding, she is already determined to win the position of the future queen mother, and no one can stand in the way.

"By the way, Niangniang, Chunxiang reported the news from the Changchun Palace, and after knowing that Su promised to die, the cuttlefish was very sad, and she kept crying and even fainted, it seems that she has a lot of heart for the useless master." Yi Yan reported.

A satisfied smile appeared on Concubine Xi's face after hearing this, "Very good, this is exactly what I want, and I will leave the rest to you." ”

The scheming Concubine Xi has found out the identity of the cuttlefish, and she does not plan to expose it to the emperor immediately, but to make this fake play really done, and then make the cuttlefish a real concubine and an important part of her plan, so that she has two chess pieces in her hands, as long as she is a qiē shun lì, she can control the situation in the harem as she wishes.

Changchun Palace.

The cuttlefish opened its eyes, its eyes were too heavy to lift, and heavy teardrops hung on its long eyelashes, blinking a few times, swaying and falling down, and its vision was misty, reflecting a blurred face through the faint moisture.

She just kept looking at Su Yu, and her sad eyes cast on, conveying infinite pain and longing.

After experiencing crying and fainting, the cuttlefish at this time calmed down slightly, and her mind was a lot clearer, although no matter how sad she was, she had to endure not to let herself be decadent, and there were still a lot of things to do next, what Su promised to do, as well as the cause of death and the truth behind it, she had to do it one by one and properly find out.

Now that the cuttlefish is under the false identity that Su promised, of course, she can't report the murder of her master to the top, otherwise not only will her life be lost, but she will also be burdened with the master to bear the charge, and she will not be at peace.

It seems that Yiqiē can only rely on herself.

The cuttlefish rubbed her red and swollen eyes, then reluctantly stood up, approached the corpse of Su Promise and carefully examined it from head to toe, if she was harmed, she would see the clues from the corpse, and she did not let go of any clues.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with Su Promise's neck, and the heavy collar couldn't cover the dark purple strangulation marks on his neck, and the cuttlefish could see from this trace that the gangster strangled Su Promise with a long object such as a rope, so bold!

Thinking of the pain and fear that his master suffered before he died, the cuttlefish's heart was like a knife. She was sure that Su promised to have no enemies in the palace, and she had never offended anyone before, and as the last promise, she couldn't become a threat to others, so who bothered to attack Su Promise, who was indisputable.

The cuttlefish was puzzled, even if she wanted to get rid of Su Promise, she should come to her, after all, she was the nominal master now, and she went to the Spring Festival Banquet with the name of Su Promise, and entered the Heart Palace, and many people in the palace already knew her. Since he can find the real Su Agree, it means that the person who murdered must have already known the true identities of the two of them!

Knowing that there were no other palace maids and eunuchs in Changchun Palace, while the cuttlefish was out, Su agreed, sneaking in and strangling the powerless chicken, and he didn't know it, and the means were indeed clever, but it just showed that this person had been planning for a long time, and he knew the specific situation of Changchun Palace very well.

The cuttlefish thought about it again and again, and it seemed that only Gu Chang was there who met the conditions she had speculated, Gu was arrogant and arrogant, and he must still have a grudge against the previous things, which can be regarded as motives.

The cuttlefish thought of Caiyun's desire to push her into the water today, and couldn't help but be a little more sure, guessing that it was very likely that it was in the name of an invitation, but in fact he wanted to break her away, and at the same time took the lives of the two of them together, which was really vicious.

Of course, although she is quite suspicious of Gu and Caiyun, she does not have sufficient evidence, and she can't just jump to conclusions, if she wants to catch the real culprit behind the scenes, she can't just guess, she has to think about it step by step in the long run.

"Master, I know that you were victimized by a traitor, don't worry, I will do my best to help you find the murderer, give you justice, and don't let you die in vain." The cuttlefish knelt in front of the couch and promised to the deceased Sue, her face was sad, uneven, resentful, and unwaveringly determined.

Even if I am just a powerless palace maid, I must never bow my head to the shameless people, how can those despicable villains decide the life of the net worth given by my parents? I have not fulfilled their wishes, and someone will have to pay for this blood debt.
