Chapter 154: Accidental Death
Seeing Su Zhiyuan's appearance of protecting the calf like this, the palace maid swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and it would be no good for her to continue to embarrass Yun Ge here, after all, Su Zhiyuan's identity was there.
"Miss Su, you haven't married into the palace yet, you'd better take care of the affairs in the palace, otherwise one day you will set yourself on fire, don't blame us for not reminding you then." The palace maid looked at Su Zhiyuan angrily and said.
However, when she said this, she was not very confident.
Su Zhiyuan looked at her calmly, and said word by word: "Even if it burns on myself, I have a clear conscience." ”
Under Su Zhiyuan's gaze, the palace maid finally couldn't help it and left here quickly.
After seeing her leave, Yun Ge stepped forward and pulled Su Zhiyuan: "This palace maid is the queen's person, you have contradicted the queen's people like this today, I am afraid that the queen will deliberately find you wrong." ”
Just now, when Yun Ge wanted to stop Su Zhiyuan out of his voice, he was stopped by Su Zhiyuan with his eyes, and now after the palace maid left, she could speak.
However, when Su Zhiyuan heard this, he said that it didn't matter.
"As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, feng shui takes turns, no one knows who the unlucky person will be in the next moment, but Guifei Niangniang, have you ever smelled a strange smell on the body of the palace maid just now?" Su Zhiyuan really couldn't remember where she had smelled the smell on her body, so she could only ask Yun Ge.
However, when Yun Ge heard Su Zhiyuan's words, he also fell into deep thought.
When Su Zhiyuan didn't say it, she hadn't noticed this yet, but when she said it, she remembered that there was indeed a very strange smell on the palace maid just now.
This smell is like a fragrance, but it is not very fragrant, but if it is not a fragrance, it makes people feel very comfortable when they smell it, and this comfortable feeling makes people can't wait to smell it again.
"This scent seems to have appeared on the palace maid who died violently." Yun Ge looked at Su Zhiyuan firmly and said.
The reason why she remembered that it had happened to that palace maid was because the smell of blood was very strong that day, but with Yun Ge's sense of smell, she still noticed the fragrance.
It's just that there were a lot of people in Chuxiu Palace at that time, and she wasn't sure whether the fragrance was from the palace maid or someone else.
But when she later came into contact with Concubine Ling and others, she found that none of them had this smell.
That's a clue! When Su Zhiyuan heard this, a trace of excitement surged in his eyes.
"I begged Your Majesty to let me investigate this case together, and now that I have found the bottleneck period, I wanted to enter the palace to see if you were doing well, but I didn't expect to see any clues when I entered the palace." Su Zhiyuan's eyes looked at Yun Ge with a hint of excitement and said.
Yun Ge didn't know what Su Zhiyuan had investigated outside in the past few days, and when she heard Su Zhiyuan say this, she was a little worried about her.
After telling Yun Ge everything that had happened in the past few days, Su Zhiyuan gently patted her shoulder: "Niangniang, don't worry, I have always paid attention to my own safety, besides, I just made an idea in the back, and the person who is really in front is still Lord Zhen." ”
"Zhen Wuwu is the queen's nephew, how can he really help you?" Yun Ge said with a little doubt on his face.
Su Zhiyuan also shook her head slightly, she didn't know why Zhen Wuwu would help her without conditions.
"Maybe he really wants to find out about this, anyway, as long as he is willing to help us, this is a good thing." Su Zhiyuan patted Yun Ge's shoulder and signaled her not to worry too much.
Su Zhiyuan took out some silver and gave it to the palace maids outside, asking them to take care of Yunge here.
After those palace maids took the money, how could they not allow it.
"You really don't have to worry about me, you come to the palace every once in a while, if you are seen by others, you are afraid that something will happen, you know, I don't want you to be involved in these things." Yun Ge looked at Su Zhiyuan worriedly but gratefully and said.
"Niangniang has helped me so much, and now it should be the time for me to repay my kindness, so you don't have to worry about these things about me, Niangniang, I will protect myself." Su Zhiyuan looked at Yun Ge with a firm gaze and said.
I didn't expect Su Zhiyuan to be such a child who knew how to repay his kindness, which made Yun Ge's heart warm.
She didn't say anything more, nodded, and accepted Su Zhiyuan's kindness.
And after smelling the fragrance and getting Yun Ge's affirmative answer, Su Zhiyuan couldn't wait to find Zhen Wuwu.
Zhen Wuwu was still worried about this case at this time, Su Zhiyuan made a lot of suggestions for this case, although there are no useful results at present, but for some reason, Zhen Wuwu just wants to make Su Zhiyuan look at him with admiration.
"Didn't you say today that there was something going on in the palace? Why did you come back so soon? Zhen Wuwu was a little surprised when she saw Su Zhiyuan.
Su Zhiyuan grabbed Zhen Wuwu's sleeve and dragged him directly behind the screen.
There are many people in the office of Dali Temple, and Su Zhiyuan is afraid that he will be heard by others when he says outside.
Zhen Wuwu didn't expect Su Zhiyuan to pull him directly to the back, and he didn't react for a while.
"I went to see Yun Guifei today, she is now under temporary house arrest in Wanchun Xuan, there happened to be a palace maid who was embarrassing her when I went, but to my surprise, the fragrance on the palace maid's body felt very familiar, I asked the concubine Niangniang, this fragrance was also on the palace maid Xun'er who died unexpectedly that night." Su Zhiyuan looked at Zhen Wuwu with certainty and said.
When she heard this, she was a little stunned.
"You mean to say that maybe the death of that palace maid has something to do with this palace maid who smells strange?" Zhen Wuwu instantly understood what Su Zhiyuan meant when he said this.
Su Zhiyuan nodded, but no matter what, this is also a matter of the inner court, and if you want to investigate, it may be that the internal affairs government is better at it.
"We are here in Dali Temple, and it is not very convenient to find out about this matter, so the next step is definitely to join forces with the people in the harem to find out this matter." Su Zhiyuan said with a headache.
"Don't worry, this matter is easy to do, just leave it to me, I just said yesterday that we are now in a stalemate, I didn't expect such a breakthrough today, it seems that Miss Su does have some ability." Zhen Wuwu couldn't help but look at Su Zhiyuan with emotion and said.
This made Su Zhiyuan a little embarrassed.
"Where are these words? But for my own people I have to do my best. Su Zhiyuan said generously.
When looking at Su Zhiyuan's dark green under his eyes due to exhaustion in the past few days, Zhen Wuwu was a little distressed: "I think you should go back and rest and rest, seeing that your current black green is so heavy, you can leave the things in the harem to me to check, and it makes no sense for you to wait here." ”
After hearing this, Su Zhiyuan nodded slightly.
She was indeed sleepy, and her nerves had been in a state of high tension for the past few days.
After saying "thank you" to Zhen Wuwu, Su Zhiyuan left Dali Temple with his maid.
Although Sikong Mubai said that he had stopped a lot of things because of the emperor, his old department was loyal to him anyway, and those people were a little worried about Sikong Mubai's situation, so they asked him out to talk about things.
When Su Zhiyuan came back, the whole house was empty, and there was no one, only the housekeeper saw her coming back, and greeted her and asked her if she needed anything.
"Let's go prepare some snacks, I'm feeling a little tired, I need to rest first." Su Zhiyuan rubbed his eyes and said a little tiredly.
The housekeeper answered "yes" and hurriedly went down to prepare.
Su Zhiyuan lay on the bed, closed his eyes and thought about what happened now, and closed his eyes and fell asleep after thinking about it.
However, when she woke up again, she was woken up by the maid.
"Miss, there's news from Dali Temple." The maid knocked on the door outside and said excitedly.
Su Zhiyuan rubbed his eyes, stood up, and glanced outside a little tiredly.
She put on a dress and went out, and when the maid outside saw her come out, she hurriedly greeted her.
"There is news from Lord Zhen that the palace maid who went to embarrass Yun Guifei today is the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace." The maid whispered.
Is it important to be the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace? Su Zhiyuan was a little puzzled, looked at the palace maid and asked.
"But not long after Lord Zhen found out about this, the palace maid died unexpectedly." The maid looked at Su Zhiyuan tremblingly and said.
When he heard this, Su Zhiyuan immediately came to his senses.
"What are you talking about, that palace maid actually died unexpectedly?" When Su Zhiyuan heard this, he frowned and looked at the person opposite.
The palace maid nodded vigorously: "And the death is exactly the same as the palace maid before." ”
Hearing this, Su Zhiyuan's heart actually rose with a little joy.
What she knows is that Yun Ge was imprisoned by the queen because of this incident, but Chu Xiu Palace is now surrounded by water, and the fact that such a thing has happened can prove that this matter is definitely not Yun Ge's doing.
After she put on her clothes, she hurriedly rushed out excitedly.
When the maid saw such a Su Zhiyuan in the back, she was a little puzzled and hurriedly followed.
"Miss, where are you going?" The maid looked at Su Zhiyuan with some puzzlement and asked.
"Go to Your Majesty, we now have enough evidence to prove that Yun Guifei is innocent, in that case, why don't you go to Your Majesty and beg him to let Yun Guifei go?" A sneer appeared in the corner of Su Zhiyuan's eyes, and he looked at the maid and asked.
The maid didn't seem to understand what Su Zhiyuan was thinking now.
The accident in Chuxiu Palace soon spread throughout the Six Palaces, and when Concubine Ling learned the news, the whole person was about to collapse.
"Your Majesty, now that the entire Chuxiu Palace is so heavily guarded, and Concubine Yun is imprisoned again, there is no chance to do it again, so that the palace maid died again, which just shows that the concubine is innocent." Su Zhiyuan knelt in front of the emperor and said.
When the emperor heard this, he nodded slightly, and Su Zhiyuan made sense.
Although he had completely forgotten about Yun Ge, he didn't know why, but when he thought about Yun Ge in his heart, he also had a little bit of trust.
"In that case, you can take Yun Guifei out first." The emperor waved his hand and said a little helplessly.
Su Zhiyuan couldn't hold back his joy at the moment, but because His Majesty was here now, Su Zhiyuan didn't dare to show too much excitement.
"Your Majesty, never." At this moment, the queen's voice suddenly came.
When Su Zhiyuan heard the queen's voice, he secretly screamed in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, the queen strode in and glared at Su Zhiyuan.
"Your Majesty, although it is said that the Chuxiu Palace is now heavily guarded, theoretically Yun Guifei should not have a chance to do it, but there is a case for everything, and you can't rashly release Yun Guifei before the investigation is clear." The queen looked at the emperor anxiously and said.
