Everyone looked at Lan Sheng together, their eyes full of anticipation. For a while, Lan Sheng also became more confident, cleared her throat and asked Xiao Yinzi: "Xiao Yinzi, before you left Fenghuan Pavilion for the second time, did you ask how many flowers we have planted in total?" Then we counted, and soon after the count you were gone. ”

"Not bad. So what. ”

"How many flowers did we count at that time?"

"Twenty-six."

"We hadn't started tying flowers with silver satin back then, did we?"

“…… Right. ”

"The speed at which we tie flowers is about the same. We also played once in between, do you remember? ”

"I remember."

"Then let me ask you again, after I left with Xiao Guizi, did you tie the silver flower yourself?"

"Nope. Actually, I didn't continue to tie it myself, because you said it was almost there. Xiao Yinzi replied honestly.

"Good. Now look at how many silver flowers are in the flower basket. ”

When Yingxian heard this, she couldn't help but secretly praise Lan Sheng for being smart. Xiao Ningzi jumped up and said excitedly: "I'll go to Fenghuan Pavilion with Xiao Xuanzi to carry the flower basket over." With that, he pulled Xiao Xuanzi and shot down the hill like two feathered arrows.

Everyone waited on the Yinbi slope, no one spoke, silently listening to the sound of the breeze blowing slowly in the apricot forest, just like listening to Qiu'e's aria. After a while, Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Xuanzi moved the entire flower basket to Yinbipo. I saw a large wicker flower basket more than two feet high, full of flowers made of brocade. Each one is about the size of a fist, the petals are one color, and the stamens are another, and the brilliance flows, like a steaming glow. There are five red, pink, purple, and yellow flowers, six golden flowers, and five honeysuckle flowers.

Yingxian quickly calculated in his mind: the two of them went to Fenghuan Pavilion from the beginning of the year, almost the first moment of the beginning of the first day to start working, to about two minutes of the second time Xiao Yinzi left the Fenghuan Pavilion, the working time of Lanshang was five minutes, Xiao Yinzi left for the first time was to go back to the courtyard to get silver satin, this back and forth was close to two moments, and the second time it took another moment to leave, indicating that Xiao Yinzi's working time was only about two moments. Seven quarters in total. The speed of making flowers for the two is about the same, that is, the average number of flowers per person per moment is close to four. So, in the moment that Xiao Yinzi left for the second time, Lan Sheng was still making flowers, making a total of five silver flowers, which was a little higher than the average efficiency, how could he have enough time to go to Huanying Pond to drown Qingyan and return? This is indeed a compelling evidence of an alibi. That's great!

She was immediately excited to make her calculations public. Everyone understood it one after another, and they stabbed their resentful eyes at Xiao Yinzi one after another. Xiao Yinzi fell into isolation, her pale face twitching and twisting, as if she was in great pain. struggled for a while, and finally gave up arguing, and said dejectedly: "I didn't kill Qingyan...... No...... Why should I kill her......"

Ying Xian stared straight at Xiao Yinzi, and her voice was as cold as frost: "I also want to know what happened between you and Qingyan that caused you to have the idea of killing her." But I guess that a weak girl like Qingyan was killed, or she saw something that shouldn't be seen, and you wanted to kill people; Or maybe you say something nasty and irritate you, and you take revenge because you hold a grudge. Xiao Yinzi, I went back to the princess's mansion last night, and you said that you couldn't sleep and wanted to go shopping alone. Tell me, why can't you sleep? ”

Xiao Yinzi said angrily when he heard this: "Okay." I say! I'll say everything. That's right, when I was in the palace last night, Qingyan did say something that made me feel very uncomfortable. I just ran out. After returning to the princess's mansion, I kept thinking about what she said, and I couldn't sleep, so I wandered around the princess's mansion alone and met Miss Yingxian. However, I would never kill her just because she said something like that! ”

Situ Su stared at Xiao Yinzi and asked, "What did she say that made you unbearable?" ”

Xiao Yinzi lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, we were talking about you, princess, at that time. Say you...... Say you should find another husband, you can't just live like this for the rest of your life. ”

Situ Su was stunned, subconsciously looked around at the others, and saw that the maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads, and knew that this was true. There was a hint of wistfulness in his eyes, and he said in a muffled voice: "And then?" ”

Then I talked to Qingyan about getting married. Speaking of which, when it came to the 'food' between the eunuchs and the palace maids in the palace, Qingyan began to laugh. I told her that eunuchs weren't necessarily as ruthless and unrighteous as the adults said. In the deep palace, 'food' is also human nature, and there is nothing to make fun of. Who knew that Qingyan told me......"

"Say what?"

"I said that I am a little eunuch now, and I will be an old eunuch when I am old, what is there to think about."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Xiao Ningzi, Xiao Guizi, and Xiao Xuanzi all changed. Yingxian couldn't help but think to herself, this little girl was joking too much. Still asked with a grim face: "So, you felt insulted and ran out at that time." The more I think about it at night, the more angry I become, and I have the idea of killing people to vent my anger? ”

Xiao Yinzi suddenly burst into tears: "I feel insulted." Because...... Because I have to be a eunuch. Although my family is poor, my father and mother loved me very much when I was a child, and hoped that I could be a good man and marry a good daughter-in-law in the future. Then they fell ill and died. I...... I was forced to make a living, so I found the 'Little Knife King' in the west of the city, did that, and went to the palace to serve. I already felt ashamed of my father and ancestors, Qingyan said that...... She ......"

Yingxian tried her best to stabilize her voice: "Okay, even if Qingyan is less, it will hurt you if you don't have to hold back for a while." But she had already told me this morning that she said something she shouldn't have said, which shows that she regrets it in her heart. ”

With a "bang", Xiao Yinzi smashed his knees on the ground and cried: "Princess, Miss Yingxian, Xiao Yinzi swears to the sky, I really didn't kill Qingyan." Although I felt angry and sad last night, I only resented myself, and I didn't think about taking revenge on her at all. I know that I am the most useless one in the princess's mansion, far less popular than Lan Xiang. It doesn't matter if you're dead or alive. But I can't bear the sin that I shouldn't bear for others. Then he began to weep bitterly.

Ying Xian said astringently: "Xiao Yinzi, it's not that I deliberately can't get along with you, and it's not that I deliberately want to excuse Lan Shang." Rather, it is inferred from time that only you have the possibility of murdering Qingyan, and only you have the motive. After saying that, he glanced at Situ Su, wondering what she would do next.

Situ Su got up and said, "Not bad, Xiao Yinzi." No one wants to harm you, but only you don't have an alibi. So, I can only trust Yingxian. Turning his head: "Yan guard".

"Yes." Yan Xuying walked over.

"You locked Xiao Yinzi in the ear room of the North Courtyard. It's locked. Three days later, he was sent to the office. He said to Xiao Yinzi again: "I'll give you three days to think about it." I hope you dare to do it. ”

"Yes." Yan Xuying replied neatly. Grabbed Xiao Yinzi and sighed: "Xiao Yinzi, let's go." ”

Seeing the backs of the two disappear at the end of sight, Yingxian didn't have the pleasure of catching the murderer, but felt very melancholy, and the cold dew in his heart slowly condensed. After standing for a while, he asked Situ Sudao, "What about Qingyan's corpse?" ”

"Qingyan died in the princess's mansion. She grew up without parents, and we were her family. Set up a mourning hall for her, and then enter the earth in three days. Everyone is required to wear vegetarian clothes and take turns to keep the vigil. Situ Su paused, "But don't show it out." ”

"But today is your birthday, princess, isn't it too unlucky to do this?" Yingxian asked in surprise.

At this time, Situ Su looked at the white clouds wandering in the distant sky, and smiled desolately: "Life and death, life is death, death is life." I think it's okay. ”

*****

At dusk, the mourning hall was set up in the main house of the North Courtyard. The bamboo curtain was hung in the courtyard, and a touch of red slanting light was shining on the huge word "Dian" pasted on the curtain, which was poignant and shocking. Xiao Ningzi waved the flag, and Xiao Xuanzi kept throwing paper money into the air. Paper money rises, floats down, and turns around leisurely, like flying snow, sprinkling the sorrow of the living.

All this should not belong to the life of a sixteen-year-old. Before youth blooms, the dust has settled.

Yingxian drank some wine in the afternoon, and at this moment dizzy walked into the mourning hall surrounded by dimly lit and white cloth, and saw the coffin parked in the middle at a glance. At the back is the sacrificial table, which offers pig's head, rooster, carp, various fruits and pastries, and wine utensils, bowls and chopsticks. The red candles on both sides had a high fever, and the ground was prepared with white cloth prayer mats. Xin Ting was kneeling beside the coffin, his expression much calmer than at noon.

Yingxian approached step by step, and saw a spirit card placed on the sacrificial table, which was engraved: "The spiritual seat of the maid of the princess Wenhe's mansion", and the couplet on both sides was inscribed by Situ Su: "Qianlu passed away, and Jiaoyin and Qiaoyu are still in a dream; Chunhua has fallen, and the magic hand Lanxin has left its own traces. His heart was suddenly sad, so he stepped forward to worship.

After worshipping, he walked to the coffin, looked inside, and saw Qingyan lying in the coffin wearing a shroud, her eyes closed, and her face was pale and terrifying. Ying Xian looked at it for a while, and the pain rose again, and she couldn't help but say, "It would be great if you came back to life tomorrow morning." ”

Xin Ting choked up on the side and said, "Girl, don't be too sad. There is no resurrection from the dead. Although Qingyan is gone, we have to live well. ”

Ying Xian sighed: "Qingyan has only lived for sixteen years, what is this world like, she hasn't remembered to see it clearly." There are many interesting things that I have not yet experienced. I feel sorry for her. ”

Xinting said: "In fact, it is also a blessing that she can say goodbye peacefully. You see she's asleep now. ”

Ying Xian was taken aback and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Xinting said blankly: "I said that she didn't seem to be dead, but like she was asleep." ”

A flash of lightning flashed. Yingxian's eyes widened: No! Wrong! Qingyan's death shouldn't be like this!

She instantly remembered the scene of inspecting Qingyan's corpse by the Huanying Pool, and a sense of horror hit her, and she muttered, "Wrong, I was wrong." The killer is not Xiao Yinzi. ”

The performances and confessions of everyone by the Huanying Pond, along with what they saw and heard inside and outside the house, all appeared in front of them in an instant. She only felt a shocking thunder explode in her mind, and she woke up like a dream, gritted her teeth and said, "It turned out to be that person!" ”
