Although Yingxian suddenly heard the bad news like a lightning strike, before running out of the study, he did not forget to look at the missing inscription of the copper kettle placed in the room - the small bronze figure standing on the lid of the bottom of the kettle, holding the mark on the shaft of the arrow was just after the first moment of noon. And not long ago, Qingyan was still wearing a green shirt and skirt, wearing water blue beads, graceful and delicate like a soft willow by the river, talking to herself timidly. Yes, she seemed reluctant to look at me as she left...... And then...... And then how did it fall overboard?

Yunyin Garden, Huanying Pond.

Under the blue sky, the blue water is sparkling like a fantasy. Qingyan lay silently on the edge of the pool, soaked from head to toe. Wakasa-colored pair of shirts...... Wakasa silk trimmed skirt...... Two butterflies flutter on white cloth embroidered shoes...... And the water-blue beaded flowers between the buns still glow softly. It's just Qingyan—his face is pale, his lips are blue, his eyes are tightly closed, and he doesn't move. He's dead. Ying Xian knew that she was dead.

Yingxian regretted it very much.

The look in her mind that Qing Yan had when she left the house. Panic and perseverance. Yes, she obviously had something to say to me. But I just let her go.

Let. She. Walk. Fall. Finish.

Everyone in the princess's mansion was gathered around the clear smoke at this moment, and the air was filled with mournful clouds. Yingxian looked around reluctantly, Huiyi cried bitterly, Xinting sobbed sideways, Lan Xiangzhu tears rippled, Yan Xuying and Li Changjun's expressions were very painful. The four eunuchs, Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Xuanzi, who had just arrived at the scene, were full of grief and horror. Xiao Guizi sighed constantly, but Xiao Yinzi was stunned, as if he couldn't believe everything in front of him.

Look at Situ Su again. Standing still, staring at Qingyan's corpse painfully, his eyes showing pity and sorrow, but there were no tears. Yes, I have never seen the second prince cry. This time was no exception.

I don't know who said it, when the death raid and the ending cannot be changed, it is imperative to seize the time to explore the cause of death. Yingxian suddenly remembered this sentence. She buried endless regret and held back tears and asked, "What is going on?" Lan Shang, Li Guard said that you found it first? His gaze shifted to Lan Sheng again. Only then did she notice that she and Xiao Guizi were also wet. Before they could change their clothes, they stood by and shivered.

However, Lan Sheng was still sobbing and unable to speak. Xiao Guizi replied: "Just now, I was going to pick hibiscus by the Huanying Pond with Lan Shang. Oh, I'm on this side of the pond, she's over there. As a result, Lan Sheng just started picking, and his feet slipped and fell into the pool. She couldn't swim in the water, so she struggled in the water and cried out for help. I saw that the situation was urgent, so I jumped into the water to save her. Before she could swim to her, she sank. I dived again to find her. It turned out that there was another person at the bottom of the pool. ”

Lan Sheng choked and said, "Xiao Guizi rescued me first, and then said that there were still people at the bottom of the pool, so he plunged into the water again." Unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly, that person was clear smoke. ”

Ying Xianqi said: "Picking hibiscus? Why do you pick hibiscus? ”

Xiao Guizi said: "It's to make 'hibiscus jade bean rolls'." The petals must be freshly plucked from the pool. ”

Yingxian looked at the pond shore when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw red, pink, yellow and white hibiscus flowers blooming around the pool, sparkling and shadowing. Who would have thought that this bright autumn flower that does not care about the world will lead to a wisp of fragrant soul that has just passed. Qingyan, is it because you have a grievance?

"When you found Qingyan, she was already out of gas?" Yingxian asked, staring into Xiao Guizi's eyes.

"It's hopeless. On the shore we tried all the tricks, but to no avail, alas. You said that Qingyan is good, what are you doing in Huanying Pond by yourself? Still so careless. She doesn't know water, and she doesn't know it. Xiao Guizi looked extremely distressed.

Yingxian's heart moved, and asked, "Qingyan doesn't know water, do you all know?" ”

Xiao Ningzi had recovered from the initial shock and sadness at this time, and hurriedly said: "Just last year, Qingyan accidentally fell into the Huanying Pond once. Many people were nearby at the time. She cried out for help, and we all heard it. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been the Ray guards who rescued her. So everyone in the princess's mansion knows that she can't swim. ”

I see. Yingxian nodded, and asked Li Changjun again: "Guard Li, where were you before you saw Qingyan's corpse?" ”

Li Changjun pointed to the small apricot forest on the western slope of Yinbipo, and said in a deep voice: "I, Yan Guard, Huiyi, and Xinting girls were all on Yinbipo just now. Later, Xiao Guizi climbed uphill and told us that something had happened to Miss Qingyan. We went to the pool together. Seeing that Miss Qingyan was helpless, I went to the study to look for you. Yan guards went to inform Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Xuanzi. ”

Yingxian thought to herself: It was just after the first hour of noon when I left the study. Huanying Pond is not far from the western slope of Yinbi Slope. The descent to the Ringing Pond is only a moment's work. With the strength of Guard Li's feet, he rushed to the study, which added up to a little more than a moment at most. In other words, Xiao Guizi found Qingyan's body at about the third moment of the year. And he said that he and Lan Sheng had just arrived at the pool and started picking hibiscus, which also meant that this was almost the latest time for Qingyan to die. As for the earliest...... I remember that it was about the first moment when she left the house.

Yingxian lowered her head again and looked at the clear smoke, and suddenly said to Situ Su: "Princess, let's talk here." ”

Situ Su and Yingxian stepped aside. Yingxian first informed Situ Su of the plan for the birthday celebration, and then lowered her voice and said, "Princess, don't hide it. When I got up this morning, I had a few words to Qingyan. She was acting very differently than usual. So I suspect that there is something else going on in the water about Qingyan's overboard. Please ask everyone to avoid it for a while, I want to see if there are any other wounds on Qingyan's body. In addition, please allow me to question the whereabouts of the other people in the house. ”

Situ Su said quietly: "They spent so much effort to celebrate my birthday, but I didn't expect it to be a curse or a blessing, alas." I also think there is something strange in the matter of the clear smoke falling into the water. I won't report to the police for the time being. However, you should also be careful not to startle the snake. With that, he turned back and motioned for the others to stand by.

After everyone evacuated, Yingxian carefully untied Qingyan's clothes. Upon closer inspection, there were no other injuries on Qingyan's body, but a large amount of foam was overflowing from her mouth and nose. When the eyelids are removed, bleeding spots can be seen at the conjunctiva. This, combined with her pale face and cyanotic lips, suggests that Haruyan did die from drowning, rather than being killed and thrown into the pool.

If she didn't leave the house and didn't go anywhere, she would just go to the Huanying Pond and fall into the water, which would take about a quarter of an hour. This means that Qingyan died at the earliest in the second quarter of the first month. Therefore, from the second quarter of the first month to the third quarter of the first month, this is the possible time of Qingyan's death.

She obviously had something to say to me before she left the house, and it didn't look like she was going to commit suicide by throwing herself into the water. And she doesn't know the nature of water, why does a person go to Huanying Pond for no reason? Since she had fallen into the water before, she would have been extra careful by the pool. Therefore, the greatest possibility is nothing more than being deliberately pushed into the water. The man only needs to use the rockery and tall trees by the pool to complete this action without anyone noticing. Thinking of this, Ying Xian couldn't help but shudder.

Yingxian sorted out Qingyan's clothes and called out, and the people of the princess's mansion gathered again, all with sad expressions. Yingxian said abruptly: "Qingyan suffered this disaster at a young age, and I am really heartbroken. I don't know if she accidentally fell into the water and died, or if she had some knots in her heart, and she couldn't think about it for a while and did something stupid. So I would like to ask you, when was the last time you saw Qingyan? Did she behave strangely? Also, what are you all doing when you wake up today? ”

Xiao Guizi said: "I have been busy in the stove room since the second quarter of the morning. Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Xuanzi gave me a hand. After buying the ingredients, Miss Qingyan came to the stove room. Soon it was gone again. I didn't notice anything wrong with her. As for myself, I have never left the stove except to go to the Huanying Pond to pick hibiscus flowers. Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Xuanzi both nodded and said that they could prove it. And both of them stayed in the stove all morning, not going anywhere, and were able to testify to each other.

"And when did you leave the stove?"

Katsuriko shrugged, "I don't know. After I went to Yunyin Garden, I first saw Lan Sheng in Fenghuan Pavilion, and asked her if she wanted to go with me. However, I didn't do anything but pick hibiscus flowers. ”

Next up is Lan Xiang. I only heard her say: "I went to buy fruit early in the morning. After coming back, I went back to the room to rest for a while, probably at the beginning of the year, I went to the 'Phoenix Return Pavilion' with Xiao Yinzi. The two of us tied a flower basket for the princess there. The flowers are not real flowers, but they are actually made of brocade of various colors, and they are still displayed in the pavilion. Xiao Yinzi echoed and said: "I haven't seen Miss Qingyan today, and I went to the 'Phoenix Return Pavilion' with Miss Lanshang at the beginning of the year." ”

"Fenghuan Pavilion" is a long pavilion located in the southeast of Huanying Pond. From the compound to the Huanying Pond, you will pass by this pavilion. And the pavilion is not far from the Huanying Pond. If you look up, you can see the water pavilion by the Huanying Pond.

Yingxian asked, "Why did you go to Fenghuan Pavilion to tie a flower basket?" Lan Sheng replied, "It's Hui Yi who said early this morning that they will play music in Yinbipo later, and she wants us to go over and listen to it first." I thought that if I had to go so far anyway, I might as well go to Cloud Hidden Garden and stay first. I saw that the scenery of Fenghuanting was good, so I went there. ”

Huiyi was a little embarrassed: "Later, I forgot to call her." ”

Yingxian asked Lan Sheng again: "You and Xiao Yinzi have been in the pavilion all the time and have never left?" ”

Lan Sheng shook her head and said, "Later, I found out that I forgot to take the silver satin, so I asked Xiao Yinzi to go back to the yard to get it." As for the time, I don't know. ”

"In other words, in the whole process, Xiao Yinzi only left the Fenghuanting Pavilion once?"

Xiao Yinzi said with an embarrassed face: "In addition to that time, I also left Fenghuanting once...... Because I was suddenly sick to my stomach. So...... So ......"

Ying Xian hurriedly asked: "How long is the interval between the first time you returned and the second time you left?" ”

Xiao Yinzi thought for a while and said, "It's probably a cup of tea." Lan Sheng agreed on the side, and added: "Xiao Yinzi's second departure probably also had a cup of tea. I waited for him in the pavilion. After he came back, he didn't say a few words to me, and Xiao Guizi came. He asked me if I would like to go to the pool to pick hibiscus flowers. I was tired and wanted to walk, so I went along. Unexpectedly, Qingyan's body was found because of this. It's also God's eyes. ”

Hearing this, Yingxian sighed secretly and turned to the others.

Hui Yi Qi Qi said: "Early this morning, I asked Qingyan to buy ingredients. Later, I went to Yinbipo and set up tables and moved chairs with Xinting, Yan Guards, and Li Guards. When I was almost packed, I went to look for you in your room, and it was there that I saw Qingyan again. Then I went back to Yinbipo, but I never saw her again. ”

It turned out that Yan Xuying, Li Changjun, Xin Ting and Hui Yi had been arranging a celebration feast in the apricot forest on the western slope of Yinbi Slope. A few people got up and started to get busy. One after another, many tables, chairs, utensils, bonsai, and ornaments were brought from the courtyard. After arranging the apricot forest almost completely, Hui Yi estimated that it was time for Yingxian to get up, so she went to Yingxian's bedroom to explain the plan.

"When I returned to Yinbipo, I rested for a while and played with Xin Ting. I play the kite, and she plays the lute. Hui Yi said. Xin Ting added: "These songs are for the second princess. I rarely practiced it before. So I wanted to take the time to rehearse. And Yan Guards and Li Guards also listened to us play music here until Xiao Guizi came uphill to find us, and they didn't stop. ”

Hearing this, Yingxian walked quickly to the small apricot forest on Yinbipo. Sure enough, I saw that the tables and chairs in the forest were placed, and there were many exquisite utensils. There is also a zite on the side. From the direction of placement, the kite player has his back to the Huanying Pond. And the apricot trees also coincidentally blocked the listener's view. Unless you look out on purpose, it's hard to notice that someone is falling into the water by the Huanying Pond.

Yingxian looked at a pool of clear water, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, so he called Lan Sheng and said, "You go to the Huanying pool and shout for help." Shout a few more times. There was a slight pause in between. "Let Huiyi and Xinting prepare for the ensemble.

Lan Sheng was ordered to go. As expected, if you don't play music, you can hear a faint cry for help in the apricot forest. And when the zither and pipa sounded at the same time, under the noise, the cry for help was naturally covered.

Knock knock. Yingxian heard her own heartbeat.

Yingxian asked Xinting, "How long have you been playing music?" ”

""A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" and "Jingchun" were played twice, and "Xunfang" was played once."

I happened to have heard all three of these ensembles. After these five times, it will take more than two quarters of an hour. In other words, Xin Ting and Hui Yi began to play music about a moment ago.

Seeing that Yan Xuying hadn't spoken, she turned around and asked, "Have the three of you stayed in Yinbipo since the arrangement?" Who never left? ”

Yan Xuying replied, "Miss Yingxian, we are all singing Bipo. Later, I listened to Xinting and the girl in Huiyi play a good tune. Li Changjun sighed: "Listening to the two girls playing music, I feel more and more that the girls are elegant and I am a rough person." To be honest, I was confused. But I'm done. ”

Xin Ting let out a "hmm" and said with certainty: "That's the way it is. The three of us have been in Yinbi Slope all the time. ”

Words, the question is over. Ying Xian closed his eyes and sorted out everyone's answers in his mind. In an instant, a feeling of excitement and nervousness struck me. At this moment, the autumn sun is shining warmly all over the body. The strings are silent. In the midst of this messy rhetoric, can she fly through the fog and find out the truth about the smoke?
