Zhao Xian'er followed everyone and asked a eunuch beside him, only to know that Xia He committed suicide by jumping into the river.

She was shocked in her heart, Xia He died, and before she could find out the truth of the matter, she had not found evidence of her collusion with King Chen, how could she die, but she didn't die sooner or later, but she died at this time, whether she fell into the water, committed suicide, or had another hidden secret, which inevitably makes people suspicious.

The river behind the Shouchun Palace, hidden in the green trees, because it is outside the palace wall of the Shouchun Palace, so very few people come, the river water is crystal clear, and the fish and shrimp swim in it.

That Xia He was salvaged and placed on the shore, and the coroner was conducting an autopsy.

The palace maids and eunuchs, curious and frightened, all stood and watched from afar, pointing and discussing.

Zhao Xian'er's eyes were calm and fearless, she walked to the corpse, and under the horror of everyone, she squatted down and looked at the corpse on the ground seriously.

The first little eunuch to see the corpse, he was still in shock, he told the coroner, because he was scolded by the chief manager in the morning, he went to the river here to vent his emotions, he didn't want to look up and see the water, floating clothes, look carefully, only to find that it was a person, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he called someone over.

The young coroner nodded after examination, "It was drowned, it should have fallen into the water." ”

Zhao Xian'er saw that the corpse's skin had been whitened by blisters, and her whole body was swollen, she hallucinated around, and a few weeds by the water were trampled on.

"You carried her up from here, without going anywhere else?" Zhao Xian'er asked, pointing to the fallen weeds.

The eunuch said yes, because there were dead people, and no one dared to walk around on the shore, so the corpse passed through this place, and no one stepped on it anywhere else.

Zhao Xian'er nodded, looked at Xia He again, she clenched her palms, broke her hand, found a paper bag, and when others didn't see it, she put the paper bag in her sleeve secretly.

After standing up, he said lightly, "You don't have to panic, don't use false rumors to cause panic, the coroner is right, this Xia He is probably walking by the water, stumbling into the water, carrying away, and burying it." ”

Until the body was carried away, before the coroner left, he looked at her meaningfully, and the two tacitly agreed.

Zhao Xian'er looked at the weeds by the water, a cold smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, she glanced around again, got up for a moment, and went against the direction of the river.

After about a cup of tea, she stopped, and the weeds on the shore were overwhelmed in two rows, with a distance in between.

Zhao Xian'er lowered his head and fell into deep thought, if he was a drowning person, his lips were heavy purple, his pupils were dilated, and his lungs were filled with a lot of water, because he struggled before he died, his expression would be a little distorted, but that Xia He's face was calm and there were no such symptoms.

Therefore, she concluded that Xia He was carried from here and thrown into the river after being killed, so there were two rows of overwhelmed weeds.

Thinking of what she said last night, Zhao Xian'er was even more sure that he killed her, and her death made the whole thing impossible to investigate.

Zhao Xian'er lowered her head and pondered, because she was too engrossed, but she didn't want to, she bumped into a person, she was about to apologize, but found that the person standing in front of her was Yan Peng, this person was really ghostly.

I don't know why, the picture that came to my mind yesterday was close to him, and my heart throbbed, my face was like a peach blossom in March, and it was dyed with a faint halo, which was touching.

The banter in Yan Peng's eyes disappeared, his gaze became deep, and he looked at her quietly without making a sound.

Zhao Xian'er felt even more embarrassed, forced herself to calm down, bowed without waves, and turned around to leave.

"Wait." Yan Peng stopped her, "I heard that someone is drowning here?" ”

Zhao Xian'er sneered in his heart, no wonder he appeared here, he came to inquire about the situation, and said mockingly, "Is it drowning, I guess the prince knows better than others, why do you want to ask me again?" ”

"Why is this king clear?" Yan Peng asked, "This king knows that in your eyes, this king is not a good person, and all bad things can be done, but you are too smart, and you are stupid." ”

Zhao Xian'er looked at him, didn't want to argue with him meaninglessly, and snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know, you colluded with the palace maids around the queen to report the news for you, for fear that the matter would be exposed, and you would kill people and kill people, aren't you here at the moment just to hear the news?" Otherwise, your high-ranking prince would still care if a little girl is drowning? ”

Compared with her cynicism, Yan Yan was as calm as an old monk, and he didn't get angry at all, let alone refute, "Okay, whatever you want." ”

This made Zhao Xian'er a little surprised, probably because she had nothing to say.

Zhao Xian'er ignored him anymore and left quickly, Yan Pan looked at her back, revealing a strategizing smile, stinky girl, do you know what it means to be smart but be mistaken by smart? That's what you are.

He basked in the sun with his hands in his hands, and walked lazily.

The guard Ji Chuan followed behind him and asked puzzledly, "Master, why don't you explain to the fourth girl?" ”

Yan Peng raised his eyebrows, "What is she, why did this king explain to her?" ”

Ji Chuan moved his lips, the prince still couldn't let go, what the fourth girl did to him three years ago was right, he almost didn't die in her hands, and he didn't kill her directly when he came back, which was polite enough.

"Lord Wang, this Xia He's death is a little strange."

Yan Huang's eyes were half-closed, and he pulled the corners of his mouth meaningfully, but did not answer.

It's strange, he already knew that this Xia He had done a lot of things for the queen, but he used Zhao Xian'er's hand to punish her, but he didn't expect someone to take her life, it seems that Xia He has a lot of secrets, because of Zhao Xian'er's suspicions, he is afraid that the matter will be revealed, so he can only kill people.

Yan Peng had a question in his heart, what secret did this Xia He carry, she had to die, and what would be the consequences if she died?

Zhao Xian'er returned to Shouchun Palace, and there was a low cry in the main hall, and she walked in under the leadership of the palace maid.

There was a pink-clothed girl sitting next to Empress Zhou, who was comforting her, "Auntie, don't be sad. ”

Queen Zhou's eyes were red, and her face was sad, "Xia He, this girl, is the most intimate and understanding, yesterday, the palace just questioned her a few words, why did she drown today?" Xian'er, I heard that you went to see it, is she still safe to die? ”

Zhao Xian'er said, "It's very peaceful, don't blame yourself, she fell into the water, no one is to blame, but her fate should be like this." ”

Empress Zhou nodded, "But after all, she has a fight with this palace, how can this palace not be sad?" Alas, she can only be buried thickly and reward her family with some more money. ”

"Niangniang is kind, she will definitely feel comforted in the spirit of heaven, Niangniang, don't be sad." Zhao Xian'er said.

At this time, Zhou Yunyang sneered, "Niangniang naturally shouldn't blame herself, but shouldn't some people feel guilty?" ”

"Yun'er, how do you say that?" Empress Zhou asked.

Zhou Yunyang handed over a cup of tea, "Auntie, Yun'er heard that someone told her aunt yesterday and framed Xia He for having different intentions for her aunt, I don't think this Xia He may have fallen into the water, he must have committed suicide for Mingzhi." ”

Queen Zhou let out an "ah" and looked at Zhao Xian'er, Zhao Xian'er smiled indifferently, "This girl is so sure, could it be that she knows something?" ”

"You!" Zhou Yunyang glared at her fiercely, and found that Zhao Xian'er looked quiet, she stomped her feet and coquettishly to the queen, "Auntie, I don't know this Zhao Xian'er, you see, the injury on my forehead was caused by her yesterday, aunt, you have to make the decision for me." ”

She pretended to have convulsions in pain, Zhao Xian'er seemed to remember it now, got up and saluted her, "It turned out to be the county lord, I was offended a lot yesterday, the county lord beat me, I shouldn't hide." ”

"What did you say?" Zhou Yunyang couldn't wait to whip her again, held back his temper, and knelt in front of the queen, "My Jin Dynasty killed people to pay for their lives, Xia He's death is not clear, it has something to do with her, aunt, why not kill her to avenge Xia He." ”

Zhao Xian'er's expression was calm, this week Yun Yang was so vicious that he wanted to use a trumped-up charge to kill her.

Zhou Yunyang knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly explained, "Xia He usually treats Yun'er well, aunt you know, Yun'er loves to take care of injustices the most." ”

"Okay, Hongu is tired."

Zhao Xian'er retired, and Zhou Yunyang helped Queen Zhou to transfer to the dormitory inside.

Queen Zhou closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and Zhou Yunyang sat on the edge of the bed, wanting to speak several times and then stopped.

"Say whatever you want." Queen Chow Road.

Zhou Yunyang pursed his mouth, "Auntie, I don't think that Zhao Xian'er may be with you, I suspect that she and Chen Wangli should cooperate with each other, and they want to get rid of my aunt's right-hand men one by one, first my father, now Xia He, and I don't know who the next one is." ”

Empress Zhou suddenly opened her eyes, the emotions in her eyes were complicated, and finally smiled, "Don't worry, my aunt knows it." ”

Zhou Yunyang's expression suddenly lit up, "Auntie, why don't you give me to King Chen, and I will give you an internal response, then Zhao Xian'er will definitely be unreliable." ”

Queen Zhou chuckled, "Silly girl, how can my aunt push you into the fire pit?" ”

Zhou Yunyang was a little disappointed, "Yun'er is willing to do things for her aunt." ”

In the evening, Zhao Xian'er proposed to go home, and the queen was not embarrassed.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she took out the paper bag from her sleeve and opened it, and there was some fine powder inside.

She twisted it lightly with her fingers, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, it was fragrant, but the fragrance was very unfamiliar, she had never smelled it.

"Girl, someone outside the door asks to see you."

Zhao Xian'er hurriedly put the paper bag back in his sleeve, and when he went out, he saw a young man standing outside the door.
