Chapter 31: True and False
Following
Although she slept late last night, Zhen Xi still got up early in the morning, she was going to the palace, and she wanted to find out as soon as possible, why Yue Manlou was involved in this matter.
But as soon as she was about to leave the house, Chu Beili appeared in front of her.
"This lady of this king is really busy, she has to do business, she still has to handle cases, and she doesn't care about this king?" She was bought by him Chu Beili at a great price to protect him, why did she seem to be getting farther and farther away from him?
"I have something important to do, take a few days off." After Zhen Xi finished speaking, he jumped on the roof and disappeared for a moment.
Leaving a helpless Chu Beili: "This girl is more concerned about the things next to her than about this king." ”
Zhen Xi took the supreme token and shuttled through the queen's bedroom all the way.
Today's eldest grandson queen's body seems to be a little cooler than yesterday, and she can already get out of bed and walk around, when Zhen Xi came to Shulan Palace, the queen mother was basking in the sun in the courtyard.
Today, she is wearing a yellow smoke yarn embroidered with a five-color gold thread with a colorful phoenix flying in the morning sun and the moon, a yellow butterfly and a smoke phoenix tail skirt, holding a yellow embroidered yarn, and a row of dragon and phoenix hairpins are inserted obliquely on the bun.
Even though she was nearly half a hundred years old, she couldn't see it at all.
"See the Queen." Zhen Xi went over to greet her.
"It's Xi'er here, sit down and have a cup of tea." Empress Eldest Sun raised her eyes slightly, and said with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Her sudden closeness surprised Zhen Xi.
Zhen Xi blessed her body and politely refused: "Thank you for the good intentions of Queen Mother, the concubine came here today to see the place where the filthy thing appeared, so as to find out the truth as soon as possible and share the worries of the mother." ”
Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "No wonder the queen mother likes Xi'er so much, she is indeed a person with a heart." ”
Zhen Xi blessed his body again, and walked towards the outer hall.
She was not in a hurry to ask, but looked at the scene by herself.
Except for Concubine Liu's handkerchief appearing at the moon viewing banquet, the other places where filthy things appear are all in the seat of Empress Sun, the chief of the outer hall, is it that the people who act are too lazy to use their brains to change places, or is it more convenient to have this place?
After all, the queen's inner hall is not an ordinary level of maidservants can enter, only first-class palace maids such as Nian Qiao and Caihuan can enter, but the outer hall is different, the maids and eunuchs in the Shulan Hall can enter.
As soon as Zhen Xi entered the inner hall, he smelled a smell of Chinese medicine, and there was an empty medicine on the table.
Zhen Xi frowned, there are so many palace maids and eunuchs around the queen, shouldn't this bowl be withdrawn immediately after taking the medicine? Why are you still here?
Zhen Xi looked around the inner hall, the furnishings were simple and generous, and he couldn't see anything wrong with it. Just as Zhen Xi turned around and walked out of the inner hall, Zhen Xi accidentally noticed that a bonsai tree in the corner was suddenly unusually wet.
She glanced at the palace maid who was standing on the side and followed her, and said, "Are there any cakes?" ”
"Mrs. Hui Zhen, yes, there is one in the inner hall, and the slave will get it for you."
When she turned around, Zhen Xi came to the tree as quickly as the wind, grabbed a handful of dirt and smelled it, and was shocked! It's the taste of Chinese medicine! It tastes exactly like the one in this temple! That eldest grandson queen, her illness turned out to be fake! So that Yao Wan is placed in that place for others to see?
By the time the maid came in with the cake, she was back in place, as if nothing had happened.
Zhen Xi took the cake to the outer hall, found a place to sit down and eat.
The people in the palace of Empress Changsun thought that Zhen Xi would summon them for questioning one by one like the Criminal Department when she came over today, but she sat on a stool in the corner of the outer hall and didn't move, who knew that she was observing the people who appeared in this outer hall in a day, what she was responsible for, how many times they appeared, and their expressions?
Zhen Xi sat like this for a day, and Queen Changsun asked her to have lunch with her halfway through, but she was also refused.
On the second day, on the third day, again.
At first, those subordinates were still curious, but then they got used to it, and they all took care of their own things as if she didn't exist.
Until the seventh day, the filth did not reappear.
Zhen Xi summoned Nian Qiao, handed her a note, and said, "There are already some eyebrows, when I am ugly today, I will call the miscellaneous room one by one according to the names on this list." ”
Nian Qiao turned a note and said, "Mrs. Zhen, why do you want to ask when you are ugly?" They were all resting at that time. ”
Zhen Xi said mysteriously: "Because there are important things to ask, I can't ask others to listen." ”
In fact, Zhen Xi hasn't seen any clues in the past few days, she already knows who put these things. But even if the moon is full of people, even if the martial arts are strong, they will not enter and leave the palace again and again, there must be internal ghosts here. She sat for the past seven days just to know how many people here were not in Shulan Palace, and there was no doubt that they were ghosts.
The inner ghost should know the purpose of the Moon Full Building, and when she comes out with her words, he will solve her.
Ugly time
Nian Qiao called the people on the list one by one for questioning, and just when she summoned a third person, she heard the wind and grass, and someone outside the door eavesdropped!
Zhen Xi quickly flew out of the window and grabbed the eavesdropper, who was actually a sweeper! The sprinkler is the most inferior palace maid, she only appears in the palace once a day in the morning to clean, and the rest of the time is outside the palace, looking for someone to do the inside should not be looking for this!
Just then, several screams came from the inner sanctum.
"What the hell...... Ghost ......"
Zhen Xi could only let go of this maid first and quickly rushed to the inner hall.
"Who's pretending to be a ghost here?" Zhen Xi exclaimed.
When Zhen Xi arrived, he saw a black shadow flying out of the window.
A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Zhen Xi's mouth, and he flew up quickly, daring to commit a crime in front of her at this speed?
In minutes, Zhen Xi caught up with her and fought with her, the woman's martial arts were not weak, she took Zhen Xi's more than a dozen tricks before she was defeated and retreated, and finally retreated, and was captured by Zhen Xi with her bare hands, she was actually another personal maid color ring in the inner hall of Shulan Hall and Queen Changsun!
Zhen Xi wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about it, but he didn't want the Ouchi guards to rush over, so he had to give up.
They escorted her to the Zongren Mansion, and after some interrogation, they found out that the woman was actually the distant cousin of Concubine Chen, who died more than ten years ago!
According to her confession, Concubine Chen and the five princes born to her were all killed by Empress Changsun! And those filthy things were also put by her, and when she asked her to confess to her comrades, she bit her tongue and committed suicide.
It's just that Zhen Xi feels that this matter is not so simple, this case is really inexplicable, and it seems that someone has sent the offender up, just ask which offender would be so stupid to pretend to be a ghost and scare Queen Changsun on the night of her questioning?
Although the case has been closed, Zhen Xi has also been rewarded, and even impressed everyone again, but she is not happy.
It had taken her so many days to find the slightest clue related to the Iron Mask, and she couldn't figure out why Moon Man Lou would participate in this operation, could it be that someone paid a high price for them to do this? No, Moon Man never takes on a royal mission.
On the day Caihuan was arrested, the moon was full of buildings
"Plan 2 tonight."
Xiao Ying was a little puzzled and asked, "Landlord, why do you want to sacrifice the color ring?" "The color ring is their last move, how can you say that you give up and give up?
"I have my own arrangement." Faced with Xiao Ying's questioning, Tie Mian was a little displeased.
"Forgive my subordinates for being stupid and unable to understand ......"
Xiao Ying was interrupted by Iron Mask before he could finish speaking: "You go down." ”
He didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to leave angrily.
"You don't want her to continue investigating, do you?" Only Yun Shi on the side knew his true intentions: "You're afraid that she will know who you are." ”
"It's not time yet." Iron Mask said lightly.
When he finished the most important thing, he left his identity behind and flew with her hand in hand. This is his promise to Zhen Xi in his heart.
