206 Murder and Silence

Zhiwei Building.

Qu Wuwu walked into the building quickly, and under the leadership of Xiao Er, he went to the private room that had been booked, pushed open the door, and saw that there was already a person sitting inside, and when the person saw her come in, he quickly stood up, and said with a little anxiety in his expression: "Niangniang, you must save me!" ”

Hearing his words, Qu Wuwu's good-looking brows furrowed slightly, "You are in such a hurry to call me out, what happened?" ”

"That's right." The man tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart and told her what had happened.

It turned out that this person was Yuan Ping, a household official who had contact with Qu Wuwu before, he was originally one of the henchmen of the former prince Shen Jingshi, but he was lucky, when Shen Jingshi had an accident, he happened to be sent to other places to do business, and he didn't have time to rush back to Tiandu City, so he was lucky to escape.

After learning the news of Shen Jingshi's defeat, he took advantage of the fact that he was not implicated, so he tried to disguise his identity and became an inconspicuous petty official in the household department.

Qu Wuwu didn't know where he learned his identity, and took the initiative to come to him to ask about Shen Jingshi, and blamed him for not resisting the temptation of beauty, and after being drunk, he shook out the secret that was going to be brought into the grave, and later publicized this matter under Qu Wuwu's bewitchment.

Now the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, Yuan Ping was restless when he heard it, he disguised himself so carefully just to be able to save one of his lives, but if the emperor knew that this matter was spread from his mouth, I was afraid that he would not be able to lose a few lives!

Although Qu Wuwu promised to ensure his safety, this promise could not dispel Yuan Ping's concerns, and when he went out a few days ago, he found that someone was secretly following him, and the string in his heart became tighter and tighter, afraid that it was the person sent by the emperor to ask for his life, so he hurriedly contacted Qu Wuwu to ask her for help.

After listening to Yuan Ping's words, Qu Wuwu was silent for a moment and asked, "You haven't told anyone else about this matter except for this palace, have you?" ”

"Absolutely not!" As soon as her words fell, Yuan Ping replied firmly, this is something that will kill him, if Qu Wuwu hadn't taken the initiative to find him, he would have rotted this matter in his stomach, and it would have been impossible to sue the second person! "Mother, what do you think we should do now?"

Qu Wuwu didn't answer him, but picked up the white porcelain wine jug on the table, filled the wine glass in front of him with his own hands, and watched him drink it before he said unhurriedly: "You shouldn't say 'we', but ask you what to do." ”

Hearing her words, Yuan Ping was slightly stunned, "What does Niangniang mean by that?" ”

"You leaked this matter, and it has nothing to do with this palace." Qu Wuwu said as he lowered his head and played with his fingernails painted red with Kodan.

"You ......" she said to completely clear herself, Yuan Ping couldn't help but get annoyed, "Don't forget that you took the initiative to find me in the first place, and then you instructed me to do those things!" ”

Qu Wuwu raised his head and glanced at him when he heard this, "What about the evidence?" ”

"Evidence is ......" Yuan Ping's words suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, because he found that he really couldn't show evidence, every time the two of them met, they avoided others, and there was no third person present to testify for him, if Qu Wuwu really insisted that he did this alone, and had nothing to do with him, then Yuan Ping really had no way to take her!

Seeing that the expression on his face was constantly changing, and finally he didn't know what he thought, and his face suddenly turned pale, Qu Wuwu put away his nonchalant expression, stood up and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "You don't have to look like this, how can you say that you have also done the palace a great favor, and the palace will not let you fall into the hands of the emperor." ”

Hearing her words, a hint of surprise appeared on Yuan Ping's face, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true!" Qu Wuwu said, his gaze casually swept over the wine glass he had just drunk, but quickly moved away, "You go back first, don't worry about anything, this palace will find a way to help you get out." ”

Although he was puzzled by her sudden change of attitude, but at this point, Yuan Ping knew that he had no other way to go except to choose to believe her, so he had to agree, "Then the lower official will go back and wait for news from Niangniang." ”

Qu Wuwu nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Seeing his figure disappear in front of him, the corners of Qu Wuwu's mouth suddenly hooked up a sneer, picked up the empty wine glass on the table, and whispered to himself while gently swaying with his fingers: "Since my goal has been achieved, how can I still keep you alive in the world?" ”

After leaving Zhiwei Building, Qu Wuwu hurriedly returned to the palace, changed the palace maid's clothes on his body and handed them to Lilac, and instructed in a deep voice: "Take this dress and burn it, don't leave any traces." ”

"Burned?" Lilac looked at her puzzled, "Won't Niangniang leave the palace in the future?" ”

Qu Wuwu glared at her fiercely, "If you burn it, you will burn it, and ask so much what are you doing?" ”

Although I don't know why she suddenly lost her temper, Lilac didn't dare to talk anymore, and hurriedly hugged her clothes and prepared to leave, but she stopped her just when she walked to the door, "Does Niangniang have any other orders?" ”

"Who else knows about me sneaking out of the palace during this time?"

Lilac thought for a while and replied: "In addition to the slaves and maids, there are a few little girls on duty outside, but they don't know very clearly, what's wrong?" ”

Hearing her words, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on Qu Wuwu's pretty face, "I don't want to hear from anyone about me sneaking out of the palace, do you know what to do?" ”

Lilac was slightly stunned when she heard this, and nodded under her glare, "The slave knows." ”

"Then you go out, I'm going to rest for a while." After giving instructions on what to be ordered, Qu Wuwu waved his hand at her and drove the person out.

Qu Wuwu was the only one left in the dormitory, she sat down at the table, lifted the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it contentedly.

Now Qu Wurong has been sent to the Royal Zen Academy, and it is not so easy to come back, and now the people who know the truth of this matter have been solved by her, even if the emperor investigates it, he can't find her head, and all the obstacles in front of her have been cleared, and no one will get in the way of what she wants to do in the future!

The Imperial Study.

Listening to Xiao Shunzi's return, Shen Wu'an couldn't help frowning, "Are you sure she has stayed in the palace in a regular manner these days and hasn't gone out to meet others without permission?" ”

Xiao Shunzi nodded, "The slave is sure, everyone in the Taiye Palace said so." ”

"So, she didn't do it?" Shen Wu'an's fingers unconsciously tapped on the imperial case in front of him, to be honest, he didn't believe that the rumors had nothing to do with Qu Wuwu, but he didn't know what she had done, and she completely left herself alone!

"Then the minion doesn't know."

Shen Wu'an's face sank, but he didn't say anything more, just waved his hand at him, "Okay, I know, you go down first." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi agreed, bowed down and left the imperial study.

When the heavy door was closed, there was a "cluck" sound, Shen Wu'an put down the red pen in his hand, and gently pinched his eyebrows, originally thought that this time he would be able to catch the mastermind behind the rumors, but it turned out that he found nothing, he was not disappointed It was fake.

In fact, after receiving Qu Wurong's flying pigeon biography, he was almost sure that the initiator of this matter was Qu Wurong, the woman who had been against Qu Wurong everywhere since the beginning of the Bachelor's Mansion, except for her, there would be no second person who took such pains to frame Qu Wurong, but unfortunately he couldn't find any evidence.

I wonder if there is any new progress in Gongsun Yifan?

Gongsun Yifan, who was pinned on him with great hopes, was so irritable that he wanted to scold his mother at this time, and he finally asked some clues from the mouth of the Shen Jingshi Yu Dang who was caught last time, but he asked people to follow this clue to track it down, but found the body of a dead man! Wasn't all that he had done before in vain?

"How did he die?" Looking at the corpse that began to decompose in front of him, Gongsun Yifan asked with a look of disgust.

Qiu Yunxi, who had finished examining the body, stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Go back to the landlord, he was poisoned by someone." ”

"Poisoned?" Gongsun Yifan frowned slightly when he heard this, "Can you find out what kind of poison it is?" ”

"It's just an ordinary poison, ordinary people will also get poisonous rats at home, if the landlord wants to find the murderer from this clue, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Qiu Yunxi said truthfully.

Gongsun Yifan glanced at him faintly, although there was no expression on the man's face, but he saw a forced smile on that face, "Are you gloating?" ”

"Go back to the landlord, my subordinates don't dare." Qiu Yunxi shook his head, but his tone did not change in the slightest.

"It's no wonder you don't dare!" Gongsun Yifan glanced at him and no longer bothered with him, "Since you have already understood it clearly, then it will be up to you to enter the palace and report to the emperor later." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, the expression on Qiu Yunxi's face finally changed slightly, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Landlord, you can't declare a personal vendetta!" ”

Gongsun Yifan was originally resisting the urge to swear, but at this time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and flew up and kicked at the door of the eye-eyed, "How about Lao Tzu announcing his personal vendetta?" ”

"Hey, you're still being unreasonable?" Qiu Yunxi avoided his blow with dexterity, and at the same time, he was not to be outdone and took the weakness in his chest, and after a while, the figures of the two people were entangled together.

After dismantling nearly a hundred moves, the two of them withdrew from the battle, sat down on the chairs on both sides, and drank tea from the teacups at hand, as if they were not the ones who had fought hard just now.

After a while, Qiu Yunxi put down the teacup in his hand and said expressionlessly: "Actually, this is not a bad thing. ”

Hearing his words, Gongsun Yifan glanced at him and did not answer.

Qiu Yunxi didn't care about his attitude, and continued to say to himself: "Now that all the clues have been broken, even those ministers can't find evidence to prove the truth of the rumors, they can't do anything without evidence, so this matter can only be closed in the end." ”

"I understand that, too." Gongsun Yifan glanced at him angrily, "The question is how to explain to the emperor now!" "It can't be said that they have worked so hard to track down for so long, but they are still one step too late to be silenced, right?
