"Your Majesty, after an examination, no injuries were found on Concubine Xi's body, and it was judged that she had fallen into the water or committed suicide."

The guard relayed the result of the act to Lu Zhixing, and Lu Zhixing frowned, this matter is definitely not simple, but it has to be told to Xi Concubine's father, General Wang.

General Wang is not young, and Concubine Xi is the youngest under his knees, and he has always been concerned about whether Concubine Xi is living well in the palace. Not long ago, Concubine Xi also wrote to him to tell him that she was going to get His Majesty's favor and be able to seek blessings for the family.

Now I get the news again, but it is the sad news that my daughter drowned in the pond.

"Dad, my daughter will be able to take the throne soon, you wait for the good news from your daughter."

General Wang was holding the letter sent by Concubine Xi earlier, and his daughter's smile was still in front of him. Two tears flowed down General Wang's even older face.

"Daughter, Dad doesn't believe that you committed suicide, Dad will find justice for you no matter what!"

Old General Wang openly confronted Lu Zhixing above the court, "Your Majesty, the old minister hopes that Your Majesty can thoroughly investigate this matter." ”

"I am also very heartbroken by the death of Concubine Xi, but there are all kinds of signs that Concubine Xi has stumbled and fallen into the water."

Lu Zhixing was a little difficult, and what he was worried about was General Wang, who loved his daughter like his life. Naturally, everyone in the court also knew what was going on, and some ministers stood up to speak for General Wang.

"The ministers also hope that Your Majesty can thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to General Wang and the deceased Concubine Xi."

Lu Zhixing said solemnly, "I decree that this matter will be thoroughly investigated, if Concubine Xi is really victimized by gangsters, I will not tolerate it." ”

When he arrived in the Scattered Dynasty, General Wang Lao was about to leave, but was stopped by a palace man in a no-man's land.

Lin Yao was lying in the dormitory at this time, looking lazy, completely devoid of the fright when she saw Concubine Xi's body yesterday. As if nothing had happened yesterday, Yuanzhu stood aside with a cold face as usual, waiting to wait.

"Yuanzhu, Concubine Xi is dead, how do you feel?"

"Congratulations to the lady for removing another obstacle."

"If this Xi Concubine hadn't relied on Jiang Wan's support and started fighting for what she shouldn't get, maybe she would have been able to live in the harem like the Queen Mother, but it's a pity, it's a pity."

"That's what the mother said."

Yuan Zhu lowered his head and stood aside respectfully, neither of them was a simple person, and this harem situation would be opened by them.

At this moment, the palace people outside the palace came in and announced, "Niangniang, the person you invited has arrived." ”

Lin Yao was upright, and she didn't have the posture she had just now, because the one she invited over was a weapon that she could use to deal with Jiang Wan.

"Weichen has seen the concubine Niangniang."

The person who came was General Wang, and he was about to leave the palace, but he was suddenly stopped by the palace people, saying that there was an invitation from a nobleman. General Wang wanted to refuse, but the man said that the noble man had some clues about the drowning of Concubine Xi.

Lin Yao's words were respectful, "Old General Wang doesn't have to be polite, Yuan Zhu, look at the seat." ”

General Wang didn't expect that the noble person would be the noble concubine who is now the lord of the harem, which was indeed beyond his expectations. Although he is a martial artist, he also understands how muddy the water in the palace is. The beautiful and luxurious woman in front of her, but she was promoted all the way and even got rid of Queen Jiang, and the means and scheming should not be underestimated.

"The concubine doesn't need these false things, you sent someone to stop Weichen, saying that you know the clues about the death of the little girl, but is it true?"

When Lin Yao heard this, her face was full of sorrow, her eyes were full of water, and her words were also full of pity and sadness.

"This palace had previously been called a sister to Concubine Xi, who would have thought that Sister Concubine Xi would suddenly suffer an accident."

Old General Wang looked at Lin Yao's appearance and was a little moved for a while.

"This palace heard that Sister Xi fell into the water, but this palace didn't want to believe it, and this palace always felt that Sister Xi was killed by someone."

"Is the concubine a suspicious candidate?"

Lin Yao picked up a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said with a straight face, "Sister Xi is the lord of Luoyun Xuan, and there is an official woman named Jiang Wan under her hands. ”

"Jiang Wan, but the previous Empress Jiang?"

Old General Wang heard the familiar name and looked at Lin Yao, he knew that Lin Yao would not suddenly mention Jiang Wan, so he waited for Lin Yao to follow.

"Exactly, Jiang Wan murdered the children of the palace and was taken away from the throne, but then somehow confused Your Majesty, and released the official woman from the cold palace, named Xin."

"Jiang Wan and Sister Xi Concubine are the most difficult to deal with, because Jiang Wan did something wrong, she was beaten by Sister Xi Concubine, and it took seven days to get out of the room."

"Sister Xi Concubine also said to the palace that Jiang Wan hides bad intentions and often secretly does something to harm her."

"Sister Xi was favored, and Jiang Wan made a plan to make His Majesty punish her."

General Wang understood what Lin Yao meant, and learned that there was hostility between his daughter and Jiang Wan. Lin Yao's best thing is deception, and General Wang, who lost his daughter in his later years, really fell into her trap and regarded Jiang Wan as a sinner who murdered his daughter.

"Are these words really made up by the concubine?"

"These palace people from Luoyun Xuan can also testify."

General Wang Lao left Lin Yao's dormitory, preparing to go on a trip to Lu on the second day to arrest Jiang Wan. When General Wang left, Lin Yao changed his expression, stood up and walked outside the palace gate to look at the sky that was gloomy again for some reason.

"What this palace wants, you never can't get it, you can only blame you for coming at the wrong time, Jiang Wan."

A thunderbolt flashed in the sky, followed by rolling thunder. Lin Yao and Yuan Zhu stood in the wind, her smug and gloomy smile, and her bright red makeup looked like a god at this time.

The palace of the concubines, who sing and dance on weekdays, seems to be from hell surrounded by clouds. The palace has never been a peaceful place, and behind the calm sun is endless treachery.

"Master, it looks like it's going to rain again."

Xian'er looked at the window that was driven by the wind and made a sound, and the death of Concubine Xi once again plunged the harem into a nameless atmosphere. Jiang Wan was sitting at the table copying Buddhist scriptures at this time, when the sudden thunderclap made the pen in her hand fall on the table, and the rice paper was stained with ink.

She always felt uneasy in her heart, and the death of Concubine Xi gave her a feeling of being targeted.

"Lin Yao, did you make a move?"

The Queen Mother meditated in front of the Buddha, holding the Buddha beads in her hand and chanting words. She opened her eyes slowly, "In this harem, someone has begun to commit sins again, and their hands are bloody." ”

At night, the rain began to fall, the trees in the yard rattled, and Jiang Wan couldn't help frowning in her sleep, as if she was troubled by nightmares.

On the second day, General Wang Lao was really above the court and raised the suspicion that Jiang Wan was plotting to kill Concubine Xi. Lu Zhixing naturally didn't believe that Jiang Wan would do such a thing, after all, his subordinates had been secretly watching Jiang Wan.

But he couldn't say this kind of thing blatantly, so he had to keep excusing Jiang Wan.

"I don't think General Wang should be so reckless and speculate, I believe that Xin Guannu would not do such a thing."

"Your Majesty, the old minister is not reckless, and he did not ask His Majesty to immediately execute the Xin Guannu, but this case is not trivial, and all those suspected should be imprisoned first."

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the palace people of Luoyun Xuan to explain the relationship between Concubine Xi and Xin Guannu, and whether there is a fight."

Lu Zhixing had no choice but to go to Luoyunxuan with General Wang, and called out Jiang Wan and Hiren'er.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xi has indeed been at odds with Xin Guannu, and Xin Guannu has also secretly acted against Xi Guanniang before."

Jiang Wan was speechless for a while when she heard the words of the palace people in Luoyun Xuan, she didn't know why the palace people in Luoyun Xuan wanted to frame her. She has always been in a cooperative relationship with Concubine Xi, how could there be a suspicion of murdering her.

Ping'er stood up at this time and accused loudly, "Why do you slander my master like this, don't you accept the benefits of the mastermind behind it!" ”

Ping'er was an unintentional sentence, but it shocked the palace people of Luoyun Xuan, thinking that they had been exposed. They did receive benefits, the benefits of Lin Guifei. Lin Yao promised that as long as they did what she said, they would be able to reduce the time they served in the palace and leave the palace and return to their hometown as soon as possible. In the face of such a big temptation, they could only ignore Jiang Wan with their conscience.

"Your Majesty, look, do you still want to defend the Xin Guannu now?"

Jiang Wan looked at Lu Zhixing, and she shook her head. Lu Zhixing frowned, "Someone came to put Xin Guannu in the heavenly prison and wait for investigation and trial." ”

Jiang Wan's eyes widened, and she secretly scolded in her heart that damn it, she shouldn't have pinned her hopes on this man. This man had never believed her, never before, and not now.

Previously, Xia Yahan also said that Lu Zhixing had her in his heart, and she believed in his evil, and she couldn't bear her in this kind of heart.

The guard stepped forward and cut Jiang Wan's hands behind his back, "Let's take a trip, Officer Xin." ”

Jiang Wan glanced at Lu Zhixing before leaving, his eyes were full of disappointment and indifference. Lu Zhixing looked at her, then turned his head away from her.

"Master!" Ping'er immediately became anxious when she saw Jiang Wan being taken away, "Your Majesty, you have to believe the master, she didn't harm Concubine Xi!" ”

Lu Zhixing didn't say anything, but said to General Wang, "Now, are you satisfied?" ”

"Your Majesty can be so fair, so that the old minister is pleased, but don't blame the old minister for talking too much, the woman who can murder the emperor's heir is not a good kind, Your Majesty should not be deceived, the old minister retired."

Lu Zhixing looked at the figure of General Wang leaving, his face was very unpleasant, he knew what General Wang meant by his words. Xian'er knelt on the ground and begged Lu Zhixing to trust Jiang Wan.

Lu Zhixing glanced at Ping'er and didn't say anything, and turned around and left with his subordinates.

"When the master comes out, we will never let you go, and you must have that life to accept the benefits that the man promised you!"

Ping'er stood up, and she, who was wet from the heavy rain, said to the palace people of Luoyun Xuan with hatred. The palace people of Luoyun Xuan were empty-hearted, and no one answered her words.

Xian'er was also disappointed in Lu Zhixing, and she finally understood why Jiang Wan lost her feelings for Lu Zhixing.

"Since Your Majesty is so ruthless, she is the only one who can save the master."
