Chapter 298: Puzzle Clearing
"This is my room?" The scorpion said with a puzzled expression, "If this potted plant is moved to my room, won't it be strange that this piece will be empty?"
"Oh, there's a pot of red flowers here." Wedge said lightly.
"Red flowers?" The scorpion looked at the wedge in astonishment, just as he remembered it at the beginning, so he became interested.
The slave remembered that the flower was dazzlingly red and beautiful, and when you got closer, you would smell a faint fragrance, the kind of flower that made people unforgettable at a glance. Back then, Concubine Feng liked the flower the most, and the slave remembered that she often saw her face close to the flower, sniffing it, and sometimes closing her eyes intoxicated, looking very enjoyable. Oh, by the way, the slave maid remembered that Concubine Feng once told the slave maid that the flower was called 'Cuckoo Crying Blood' The slave maid still can't understand why such a beautiful flower has such a terrible name! Wedge didn't pay any attention to the scorpion's expression, but continued to herself.
"Cuckoo cries blood?" It was the first time the scorpion had heard of this flower, so he continued to ask, "Where can I find this flower, and can you find one for me to see?"
"I don't know this slave maid, the slave maid has been in the palace for 15 years, and she has only seen this kind of flower in Concubine Feng's room, and now she doesn't even have it in Concubine Feng's room, it is estimated that the slave maid will not have the opportunity to see that beautiful flower again in this life." Wedge pouted and said regretfully.
"Then do you know who gave this flower to the mother back then?" The scorpion continued.
"At that time, the slave and maid were only a few years old, how could they know so much! Besides, the slave maid is still a maidservant, however, most of the things here in Concubine Feng are rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, princess, if you want to know, you can ask His Majesty the Emperor! Wedge said honestly.
The scorpion thinks about it, how can he know so much about a servant girl of Prince Ning? However, Lan was in retreat, and now he was afraid that it was a critical moment, so it was inconvenient to ask. Anyway, more than ten years have passed since this matter, and it is not bad to wait for this little time, but later, you can ask Lan Daning, compared to the wedge, Lan Daning should know more, if it is really Lan Dan just sent it, wait until Lan Dan just came out of the customs.
The scorpion no longer dwelled on the above question, but asked another question that he cared about. "What about the incense burner? In the impression of Hongu. There should be an incense burner on this coffee table. The scorpion asked, pointing his finger at the coffee table.
"Oops! I haven't seen it yet. The incense burner was taken away! Wedge suddenly ran quickly to the edge of the couch. He leaned his whole head close to the coffee table and looked at it again and again, and said with an exaggerated expression.
The scorpion can't help but be full of black lines, does such a big coffee table need to be so exaggerated?
"I think back then, Concubine Feng would light an incense burner every day to smoke the house fragrantly. By the way, she also has a habit of smelling the incense in the incense burner, lying on this couch for a nap, at that time Concubine Feng was really beautiful, the house was so fragrant, and the slave maid often secretly peeked at the door at that time Concubine Feng Niangniang's nap! Once again, Wedge was immersed in the fond memories of that year.
"Then do you remember the spices used by the concubine? Where did it come from?" Since the incense burner has been taken away, there must be an article in it, otherwise what to do with just an incense burner, the scorpion couldn't help but ask eagerly.
"This slave is not very clear. The slave maid only remembered that every time the spices were sent by Zhang's mother, but not long after Concubine Feng died, Zhang's mother stumbled and fell into the well and died. Wedge said with a look of regret, "Again, in the palace for so many years. I never smelled that intoxicating fragrance again. ”
He's dead? Another place to be questioned.
"Then if there is an incense burner with this spice in the future, will you still recognize the smell?" The scorpion asked.
"Of course I know, not to mention that it has only been ten years, even if it is a hundred years, the slave and maid all remember, it is the best smell that the slave has ever smelled in this life!" Wedge confidently patted his chest and reassured.
The scorpion smiled slightly, "That's good, okay, you go back to take care of Prince Ning first." If there's anything to ask, I'll look for you again! ”
"Yes, princess, if you send someone to inform you of anything, the slave will come at once!" Wedge saluted and said. After speaking, seeing the scorpion nodding with a smile at him, Wedge left Huaqing Palace happily.
The scorpion lay on the couch again with a depressed face, except for confirming the authenticity of his fragmentary memories, the investigation of Concubine Feng's death made no progress, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart, he was really not suitable to be a detective! Depressed for a moment, the scorpion suddenly got up, always felt that the crux of the problem was on the missing flowers and incense burner, the scorpion was still unwilling, and decided to ask Lan Daning, and said that Lan Daning should know more than wedges. Thinking of this, he immediately strode towards the Purple Cloud Palace.
When she arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace, Lan Daning was in the practice room holding the internal strength mental method given to her by the scorpion and focusing on the practitioner, the scorpion walked into the practice room and said lightly: "If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, you should heal your injuries first, and then cultivate, you can't be so impatient in cultivating this thing!"
"Sister Huang, you're here!" Lan Daning turned around and saw the scorpion walk into the practice room, and responded happily.
"I'm here to ask you something, do you remember the 'cuckoo crying blood' in the concubine's room?" The scorpion asked directly.
"Cuckoo cries blood? Sister Huang, what are you asking for?" Lan Daning asked inexplicably.
"I just asked casually, I heard that there was such a pot of flowers in the concubine's room, but I didn't see it when I went in, I was very curious, I wanted to ask where there was this kind of flower, I wanted to go and see it, I wonder if this is good for the recovery of my memory?" The scorpion smiled slightly, thinking in his heart, in the absence of conclusive evidence and not knowing who the murderer was, it was better not to tell him his suspicions, so as not to cause confusion and danger to him.
"I remember that flower was a tribute flower from a small country, and I was too young at that time to know very well about the small country that was attached to our Lan Yi country, so you have to ask my father for details. I remember that day, it was the mother and the father who met the envoy together, and the envoy praised the mother concubine for her temperament, beauty and generosity, as if they were paying tribute to the national flower 'cuckoo crying blood' as noble and moving, and the father was happy and gave the pot of Gong to the mother, the mother was very happy, and I still remember the bright smile of the mother at that time! "The scorpion really doesn't understand what kind of person Lan Qixin'er's mother is, but it must be extremely loving when she thinks about it, because not only Wedge, but even Lan Daning, who has always been submissive and inferior, showed a happy and nostalgic expression when he mentioned Concubine Feng, and the scorpion couldn't help but feel a little jealous and regretful in his heart, sad that he didn't participate in Lan Qixin'er's childhood.
"An incense burner has been lost in the concubine's room, do you know the source of the spices for the incense burner?" The scorpion continued.
"Incense burner? I only know that the concubine orders the incense burner every day, and as for the source of the spices, I don't know, Sister Huang, is there any problem here?" Lan Daning always felt that these questions of the scorpion were unusual, frowned and asked, in fact, he had doubts about Concubine Feng's death, because Concubine Feng was a very powerful martial artist in his heart, a move of the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Battle Technique, commanding the entire palace, how could a warrior like this die so young and light, since the imperial sister asked about the flower and the incense burner, he must have noticed something, so he added, "By the way, the cuckoo crying blood flower was paid tribute by the envoys after Aunt Yun left the palace, and there is also an incense burner, It should also be that the spices were changed after Aunt Yun left, and I remember that the fragrance was different from the scents that my mother ordered before. ”
"What?" The scorpion looked up at Lan Daning in surprise, if the suspicion of the incense burner and the cuckoo's cry of blood just now was only five points, then the scorpion would be 95 points sure at this moment, because things would not have been coincidental to such a point.
"Imperial sister, if you have any questions about the death of the concubine, you can come to me, and I will do my best to help you. If you find out the cause of your mother's death, or if she is the murderer, you must also sue me and avenge my mother's death, and I also have a responsibility, although I know that my participation will not help you much. Lan Daning's expression suddenly darkened and said.
The scorpion was stunned, it turned out that Lan Daning was smarter and sharper than she imagined. If you are wise and foolish, the scorpion smiled slightly and said: "The imperial sister knows, but before you find the answer, don't startle the snake!"
"Sister Huang, I naturally know this, just as if you didn't ask me such a question today!" Lan Daning also said with a slight smile.
"Princess, it's not good, the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and all the ladies of the harem are kneeling at the door of His Majesty's retreat, asking His Majesty to leave the customs and the statue is related to the events of the morning!" Crab Chong rushed into the house and said nervously.
"Let's take a look!" The scorpion glanced at Lan Daning and said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, Sister Huang!" Lan Daning's expression was also stern, and his aura was full, without the slightest cowardice and inferiority complex before.
When I came to the place where Lan Qigang was retreating and cultivating, I saw at a glance that there was a black pressure kneeling outside the stone gate, and on the left kneeling were the concubines of Lan Qigang's harem, each holding a handkerchief, wiping tears, crying and shouting, one of them was the most luxuriously dressed, kneeling in front of all the concubines, crying: "Your Majesty, you have to come out and make decisions for us!"
Crab leaned into the scorpion's ear and explained: "That is the mother concubine of the eldest prince, she has a prominent family background, she is the only concubine who can compete with Concubine Hua, and she is also a popular person for the queen."
The scorpion smiled coldly, and said in her heart, she has no chance with the queen, how can she put a person who is not the same heart as herself on the throne of the queen?
Kneeling on the right are important ministers wearing court clothes, and their positions and ranks can be seen from the clothes on their bodies, first-class officials, and the left prime minister shouted: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, if you continue to retreat, the government will be chaotic, and the country will die!"
"If the harem and courtiers are mixed together, the country will die!" The scorpion stepped forward and said coldly.
Suddenly, there was silence in the venue, and everyone looked at the Demon Protector Princess who was walking towards them step by step in horror.
