In front of the Xinyang Palace, someone reported to the queen mother and the emperor.

On the emperor's side, Cui Hai didn't want people to find out about Fengyi Palace, so he took the opportunity to pour wine for the emperor, and whispered,

"Your Majesty, something happened in Fengyi Palace......"

The wine cup in the emperor's hand was almost unstable, and he exclaimed, "What's the matter, what's wrong with Zitong?" ”

As he spoke, he slapped the wine cup on the table and was about to pass.

Unexpectedly, Cui Haixu knew what happened to Fengyi Palace, but said,

"It's Gorou who had an accident, and the prince's side ......"

He told the emperor about the matter 1510.

"Gorou is fine, it's the concubine next to the prince......"

Cui Hai quickly said a few words, poured the wine and retreated behind the emperor.

The emperor pinched the wine glass with a calm face, and his voice couldn't hear the slightest joy and anger.

"I didn't expect that the harem that has been calm all these years has begun to be less peaceful."

He looked at the officials of the Xin family, thinking that he didn't know about this matter yet, so don't let them know if he doesn't know.

In the side hall, the queen mother also thinks the same.

Today's emperor's harem is really quiet, the number of concubines can be counted with a slap, and the emperor has not set foot in other places for many years except for occasionally going to Gu Guifei's side to sit.

Her gaze swept over the several concubines present, all of them were very low-key because they were not favored, and such a banquet was not very glamorous.

As for Gu Guifei's seldom to appear at such banquets, out of the three hundred and sixty-five days a year, three hundred days are uncomfortable, and the remaining sixty-five days are self-cultivation.

I just don't know if Weiwei will misunderstand Goro!

The queen sighed, the adopted son finally had a girl who was willing to marry and gave birth to a child, and it was really hateful that someone still had this idea.

She looked at Xiao Rusi on the side lovingly, touched his little tug, worried about his father.

In the side hall of Fengyi Palace, Xin Yi watched the prince rush out, and then looked back at Xiao Yuanyou.

Xiao Yuanyou touched his nose.

Everyone knows that he was raised under the queen's knees, and his relationship with the prince is even deeper.

It can be said that the prince took more care of him than the other brothers and sisters.

If today's events were to be heard in the ears of others, his ridiculous reputation would be settled.

In the eyes of the people, the title of 'Xiao Qingtian' will be greatly discounted.

As for the relationship between him and Xin Yi, it will also be affected.

As a big family, the Xin family also knows that Xin Yi can be said to be the beloved person of the old lady and Xin Wangting, and Xin Jichun is the head of Shancheng Academy, and other Xin family members are also all over the court.

Such a delicate girl was let down by Xiao Yuanyou, will the Xin family have trouble with Xiao Yuanyou at that time?

As for the prince, needless to say, Wu Liangdi, as the prince's favored concubine, made trouble, whether it was successful or not, this was a deliberate attempt to ruin Xiao Yuanyou's reputation, and at the same time put on a green hat for the prince.

Although now that spring has passed, there is no need for a green hat at all.

Won't the prince be estranged from Xiao Yuanyou at that time?

The means are simple and crude, and no matter which of these three parties has the slightest suspicion, the other party's conspiracy will succeed.

Xiao Yuanyou coughed dryly, "Slightly...... I ......"

Xin Yi looked at Xiao Yuanyou expressionlessly, justifiably,

"Well, what should I do next time I encounter something like this?"

Xiao Yuanyou couldn't help laughing, "The next time you encounter something like this, you must leave this ghost place quickly." ”

"Don't let them pollute my eyes?"

Xiao Yi outside, "......"

Did he have a problem with his ears, and why could his master say such a sassy thing?

Xin Yi, like Xiao Yuanyou just now, pretended to cough dryly,

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time."

The eunuch who reported the news just now told the queen that Xiao Yuanyou was drunk.

But look at his appearance, where is he drunk?

In other words, this is a trap for Xin Yi to come over and break his personal relationship.

The queen gave her the car, which greatly shortened the time for Xin Yi to travel from the side hall of Xinyang Palace to the side hall of Fengyi Palace.

If she hadn't come so early, how would she have noticed that something was wrong?

How stupid is Wu Liangdi to come to such a show?

How much of this is hidden?

For so many years, the harem has not seen such a means that cannot be put on the table for a long time, but I didn't expect it to appear again, and it was also used on Xiao Yuanyou.

"The people behind the scenes arranged these, thinking that they wanted me and the prince's brother to turn against each other, and those people secretly paid attention to me through this, as long as I was more embarrassed, that person would be happy."

"Let's go see what's going on outside."

Xiao Yuanyou took Xin Yi's hand and walked out.

There is a large flower garden in the courtyard of Fengyi Palace, and the flowers in it are planted by the queen's mother.

Now it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom.

Xiao Yuanyou and Xin Yi didn't have time to look at it at all, they left Fengyi Palace together, and as soon as they went out, a guard from the East Palace came over, sent by the prince, and invited Xiao Yuanyou over.

It turned out that after Wu Liangdi ran out at that time, he left with the palace maid named Wutong, and by the time the prince found Wu Liangdi, he had already become a cold corpse.

Xiao Yuanyou and Xin Yi glanced at each other, and immediately followed the guards over, and when they said there, they saw that the prince was standing next to the corpse, and there was a person who looked like a guard who was touching Wu Liangdi's pulse, and then slowly shook his head, indicating that the person was no longer saved.

The prince's temperament has always been hearty and spacious, just now because he understood that he was the one who wanted to kill the concubine, and now he is really dead, and there is something wrong in his heart.

In the end, this woman gave birth to her only daughter.

But this woman actually did something shameless, which made the prince even more disgraced.

He didn't understand why a person who usually seemed gentle and gentle would seduce his brother.

However, the prince did not think in the ambiguous direction that Wu Liangdi would go to Fengyi Palace to strip his clothes in an ambiguous direction.

He is the crown prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future, and now he is often helping the emperor deal with excerpts, and he has thought twice about what he says and does.

At this point, he would be tempted to figure out why, and he would be talking about it when the time came.

He beckoned to Xiao Yuanyou, squatted down, and flipped over on Wu Liangdi's body.

Just now, Wu Liangdi wanted to seduce Xiao Yuanyou, her clothes were half-faded, and there was only a red belly pocket in it, which would lie on the ground, and the coat draped on her body could not cover her body at all.

The wounds on her body are also exposed, so that everyone can see clearly.

The prince just put the long sword on her neck, and Xin Yi didn't use it when he pinched the long sword and wanted to threaten Wu Liangdi.

The wound on the neck was light, with only slight beads of blood coming out.

The most fatal wound is in the shoulder.

The wound looked blurry, clearly caused by someone vigorously stirring the hilt of the sword, and the wound was also very large, otherwise he would not have died in such a short time.

And this should be the first scene of her death, blood spilling all over the ground, staining a large area of the ground red.

What's more, the sword wound was in the back, which ruled out Wu Liangdi's suicide in shame because the prince found out all this.

After all, it is impossible for a person to stab a weapon in the back with his backhand, isn't that a fart when he takes off his pants?

Then, someone must have given Wu Liangdi a fatal blow.

Wu Liangdi's body was left with only wounds, not weapons that hurt her.

"Look for any suspicious weapons nearby." Xiao Yuanyou instructed Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi led people to scatter around to look for him.

The prince also asked Xiao Yi to work together, and sometimes men and women were not tired of working, and soon, a guard ran over with a short sword wrapped in a handkerchief.

Xiao Yuanyou took the short sword and made a gesture on Wu Liangdi's body, and it was this sharp weapon that injured Wu Liangdi.

And this short sword, Xiao Yuanyou is very familiar with, it is hung on the wall with him in the side hall of Fengyi Palace, and the long sword that the prince put on Wu Liangdi's neck is a weapon.

This set of weapons was given to him by the emperor after Xiao Yuanyou completed his martial arts.

It is said that this weapon is made by a famous teacher, and it was turned out of the treasury by the emperor, don't look at this sword is short, but the blade is cold and shining, and the iron is sharpened like clay, it is a good sword.

Because the two swords were too sharp, Xiao Yuanyou almost never took them with him, but sometimes the emperor left him to stay in the palace and used the sword when he got up in the morning.

More often than not, the long sword hung on the wall, and as for the short sword, it was placed in a box below the long sword.

Xiao Yuanyou has always had sharp eyes, and after the guards retrieved the short sword, they found the clue, that is, someone used this sharp weapon to stir the wound, which was stained with blood, but I don't know if it was because the hilt of the sword was held or something, the gem inlaid at the end of the hilt was clean.

It's not like it's been wiped down.

Xiao Yuanyou thought that there was some mechanism in the hilt of the short sword, but he just tried to open it, but he didn't find anything, and it didn't move at all.

Xiao Yuanyou frowned, saw Xin Yi standing beside him, and came back to his senses, "Weiwei, you go to the front Niangniang, the smell of blood here is too strong." ”

Xin Yi didn't want to leave Xiao Yuanyou, but before she left, she saw the princess coming in a hurry.

The crown princess was newly married by the prince two years ago, and the mother and son died when the princess had a difficult birth, and the prince was very sad, and it took a long time to marry the current step-princess.

When the crown princess saw Wu Liangdi lying on the ground, she was already covered with a white cloth, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen in the harem during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There are hundreds of officials and female dependents in front of them, and if one of them is not easy to pass out, no one's face will look good.

The crown princess didn't hear the specific report from the next person, she only knew that Wu Liangdi was dead, and the prince seemed to be chasing her with a sword.

Suddenly, the crown princess felt a little bad in her heart, such a festival, how could the prince stab the concubine to death with his own hands, well,

Now it looks like it's going to be over.

Because there were hundreds of officials and female dependents in front of them, and there were a large number of them, after the prince and Xiao Yuanyou discussed, they didn't make a big fuss, but just called the Praetorian Guards patrolling outside the Fengyi Palace over, and asked carefully if there were idle people and others who had mixed in.

Originally, there should have been someone watching in Fengyi Palace, but for some reason, except for those who accompanied the queen to Xinyang Palace, most of the others were called away from their original posts for various reasons.

The rest did not leave, and they also did chores such as sprinkling and sweeping in remote places.

For a while, the entire Fengyi Palace didn't even ask anything, and in this way, the people in Fengyi Palace were punished by the prince.

This time it's his concubine, and it's okay to say, but what if one day it's an assassin and hurts the emperor, what will the queen do?

It is impossible for the crown prince to let such a person stay in the palace, a murderer lurks in the palace, what if the emperor is harmed?

Immediately, Xiao Yi and the chief of the guards beside the prince joined forces to check one by one, where was the incident at the time, and who will prove it for you, no one is allowed to leave the Fengyi Palace without permission until it is clear, and at the same time, the patrol guards of each main hall have been strengthened a lot.

Naturally, it will take some time to check this, Xin Yi and Xiao Yuanyou didn't wait, they went to the front to see the emperor and the queen's mother, and hugged Xiao Rusi, who had always been excited, back.

It didn't take long for Xiao Yi to come over to report,

"My lord, I've found out some eyebrows."

The two of them had already walked to the corner and whispered, "What did you find?" ”

Xiao Yiyi,

"At the time of the accident, two palace maids and a eunuch were alone, and there were no witnesses."

"These three subordinates have already gone to pick up people, and they will wait for the adults to interrogate them when the time comes."

Xin Yi didn't feel sick in his stomach, but he still asked,

"Fifth brother, is the murderer someone else?"

Just looking at that, I thought he had identified the murderer.

Xiao Yuanyou originally didn't want to talk to Xin Yi about these bloody things, but this girl approached him at that time to solve the case.

If she was really so harsh, she wouldn't want to, and he kept telling himself not to treat girls as ordinary women.

Immediately, he took Xiao Rusi and let the nurse take her to the queen's mother, and took Xin Yi to the place where the three people who were alone were held.

However, when Xiao Yuanyou really interrogated these three people, he found that there was nothing wrong with these three people, let alone murderers.

For a while, the investigation just now seemed to be useless, Xiao Yuanyou curled his finger and knocked on the table, muttered for a moment, and asked the chief of the guard beside the prince,

"The eldest brother of the prince also dotes on this concubine on weekdays, and there should be a lot of people who want to serve by this concubine's side, so which one is her personal maid? And was her maid originally in the palace, or was she brought into the palace from home? ”

The chief of the guard thought for a moment and said,

"My subordinates follow His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have also seen Wu Liangdi a few times, although she is favored, but there are not many people waiting, there are only three, two are from the former palace, and one is a maid from the family."

"It's about slow heat, Wu Liangdi has used the most since she first entered the palace, and the maid she brought out of the house is named Wutong."

The chief of the guard didn't quite understand what Xiao Yuanyou meant, but explained,

"When my subordinates were looking for Wu Liangdi just now, the palace maid named Wutong went to find Wu Liangdi together."

When Xin Yi heard this, his heart moved, as if he remembered something, and he was thoughtful.

Since that Wu Liangdi did such a shameful and angry thing, and was arrested by the prince at the scene, and because of Xin Yi's crooked reasoning, the whole person looked very weak.

So, how could such a frightened bird make people get so close? There is only one explanation, this person is someone Wu Liangdi is familiar with, a person he trusts.

Only in this way will Wu Liangdi be allowed to hand over his back safely.

In addition, there is no trace of a fight in this area, which further illustrates this problem.

An acquaintance, a familiar person who makes Wu Liangdi fully trust, will make her relax her vigilance, and this place looks like an alley, but in fact, there are many exits a little distance ahead.

After the accident, the other party can run away neatly.

Xin Yi thought about it while looking at her husband on the side, and suddenly said,

"Fifth brother, call the three people who are waiting for Wu Liangdi."

Xiao Yuanyou nodded.

In fact, people have already been gathered in one place for a long time, and they will come quickly.

Xin Yi stood beside Xiao Yuanyou, looked at the three palace people with cold eyes, and looked at the past one by one.

At the same time, Xiao Yuanyou asked a few people a little casually. and the time when three people enter the palace or enter the palace.

When I asked about the one called Wutong, I saw her exclaiming,

"Adult ......"

Xin Yi's body was stunned, and his voice could not hide his shyness and tactfulness, with a bit of a trill, as if he was going to hold his chest and gasp for the next moment.

It was hard to hear that the roots of the teeth were sour.

Xiao Yuanyou looked at this maid's style and couldn't help frowning.

Is it true that there is a master and a servant?

This Wu family is a middle-class family that is about to decline, otherwise they would not have sent their daughter to the palace as a concubine.

I saw Wutong biting his red lip, and suddenly knelt in front of Xiao Yuanyou, and said delicately,

"My lord, the slave knows some things, as long as the adult asks, the slave and the maid can tell the adult, and only ask the adult to promise the slave and the maid one thing."

Xin Yi touched her chin, smiled with interest, and took a step back slightly, but her hand was grabbed by Xiao Yuanyou and she was not allowed to retreat.

"What do you want?"

Wutong plucked up his courage and looked up at Xiao Yuanyou, the sky was dark, lanterns were hung outside, and lights were lit in the house.

The light shone down from the top of his head, outlining the face of the man in front of him as deep as a knife and axe, and her eyes flickered as if she were dazzled.

Xiao Yuanyou has seen a lot of such obsessed eyes, his face is expressionless, compared to Wu Liangdi, this palace maid's gaze is more explicit.

He raised his chin and motioned to Xiao Yi,

"Take this person to the prince, I think she is willing to tell the prince the truth."

Xiao Yiyi was given goosebumps by the sound of the sycamore, and immediately mentioned the sycamore.

Wutong danced with his hands, "When someone else asked, the slave would never reveal a word." ”

This is stalking, Xin Yi was still watching the play, this will be a belly of anger.

Hmph, I actually want to take advantage of the fifth brother.

Xiao Yuanyou coldly instructed Xiao Yi,

"Tell her what the rules are, shielding suspects, and blackmailing court officials, what is the end!"
